When the spear tip easily pierced through Darius Silva Ganius's filthy heart, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.
As if saying that Lord Human God had not mentioned this part of the future!
Time froze at this moment. He could not believe what was happening before his eyes, so until the moment of his death he never closed them.
As his heart was pierced, Darius Silva Ganius's body, as if losing all support, slowly collapsed.
Blood gushed out from the fatal wound, forming a shocking pool of blood. The blood spread across the ground, staining the surrounding area red and releasing a thick, bloody stench.
Dan Feng stood expressionlessly to the side, coldly watching Darius Silva Ganius's life gradually fade away. He felt not the slightest pity for this enemy. Toward such a beast who would lay hands on children, his stance had always been the same.
However, to ensure that Darius Silva Ganius was thoroughly dead, Dan Feng did not let his guard down. He quickly examined the corpse and confirmed that there were no longer any signs of life.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, Dan Feng took further measures. He used Cloud Chant Technique to completely destroy Darius Silva Ganius's corpse, leaving behind only a pool of fresh bloodstains on the carriage that had not yet dried.
This could also be considered revenge for those innocent children.
After finishing everything, Dan Feng took a deep breath. He once again cast Cloud Chant Technique, completely concealing his figure, and prepared to return to the inn first to wait for Roxy's return.
At the same time, Roxy also stopped her magic power output to the Thundercloud Accumulation. She watched as the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed and sunlight once again poured down upon the earth.
However, she knew that she could not easily leave this place right now; otherwise she would very likely be treated as a suspect.
When everyone saw the originally dense dark clouds suddenly dissipate and the sky return to its original clear state, they could not help but be slightly stunned. They had thought a terrible thunderstorm was about to descend, yet the dark clouds had simply and inexplicably dispersed, and nothing had happened. This sudden change felt somewhat eerie, as if someone had deliberately tried to frighten them.
The knights were equally stunned. They looked at one another, momentarily at a loss. Had the knight commander not roared an order to blockade the entire area, they might have remained in that state of shock for quite some time.
In an instant, a group of armored knights surged toward the surrounding residents like a tide, quickly surrounding them. These knights wore serious expressions, weapons gripped tightly in their hands, clearly acting to ensure the king's safety.
The residents also deeply understood the gravity of the situation. They knew the king's safety concerned the stability of the entire country, so they cooperated fully with the Knight Order's work. After all, the crimes of assassinating the king and interfering with an important kingdom ceremony were not burdens just anyone could bear.
The Knight Order's inspection was extremely meticulous. They carefully scrutinized every resident, missing no detail. Their main checks were whether the residents carried magic staffs and whether they were citizens of this country.
When it came time to inspect Roxy, she could not help feeling a little flustered inside, but she still forced herself to stay calm. Her expression looked no different from the other residents'.
The Knight Order members noticed that Roxy was just a little girl, so they immediately assigned a female knight to examine her. This female knight spoke gently with Roxy. During the inspection, when she discovered that Roxy was not carrying a magic staff, her suspicion immediately dropped by half.
However, because Roxy's appearance did not resemble that of the Human Race, the Knight Order members still harbored a trace of doubt about her identity.
To further confirm Roxy's identity, the female knight asked whether she had anything that could prove who she was. Roxy had already prepared for this. Without hesitation, she took her adventurer card from her bosom and handed it over.
[Name: Roxy Migurdia]
[Race: Migurd Race]
[Adventurer Rank: S]
The adventurer card contained only these three pieces of information.
When the female knight saw the S-rank adventurer, a trace of surprise welled up in her heart. She widened her eyes and carefully examined the other party, then softly said, "My apologies. So it's Roxy!"
Her voice carried a hint of respect. S-rank adventurers were already extremely rare, and this one was actually the Roxy mentioned in the rumors. That made her even more surprised.
Thanks to the bards' spreading of tales, the Migurd Race and Roxy had recently attracted widespread attention throughout the Asura Kingdom. Many people had begun to learn about this reclusive member of the Demon Race.
Therefore, after confirming Roxy's identity, the female knight's attitude became even more respectful. She carefully returned the adventurer card to Roxy, then solemnly performed a standard knight's salute.
Once the handover was complete, the female knight turned and left, her steps somewhat hurried, as if she were eager to pass the news on to others.
"Hmm? How does she know me?"
Roxy's eyes held confusion as she watched the female knight walk away, then carefully put her adventurer card away.
But she could not afford to worry about that right now. She took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and walked toward the back of the crowd, preparing to leave this place.
After the previous twists and turns, the ceremony commemorating the hero Ars probably could not proceed according to the original plan. Magic of such scale clearly could not have been released without using a magic staff, so most people were cleared of suspicion. Only a small number of adventurers who had come to watch the excitement were treated as suspects. However, once the Knight Order learned that the highest among them was only advanced rank, they let them go as well.
This sudden incident had undoubtedly cast a shadow over what should have been a solemn ceremony. In the days to come, the royal capital Ars would likely fall into a period of quiet. People would probably gossip endlessly about the event, and the originally lively festive atmosphere would be greatly diluted.
When Roxy hurried back to the inn, she happened to see Dan Feng waiting outside for her return.
"You're back? Did anything unexpected happen?" Dan Feng asked with concern, his tone carrying the gentleness he reserved only for Roxy.
Roxy quickly shook her head, indicating that nothing had happened to her.
"But there's one thing that feels very strange to me..." She then told Dan Feng everything about the female knight's inspection and how the knight had seemed to recognize her.
After hearing Roxy's account, Dan Feng also found it strange. Roxy had never done anything in public that was worth being remembered by everyone. So why had this female knight acted as though she knew Roxy?
Hmm. This question was worth pondering deeply.
