Carefree Path of Dreams
Chapter 665 - Sentence to the Gallows
Panda Novel
Michule let the servant serve water, opened his mouth, and asked, “Yes… One troublesome matter. Do you still remember Luhn? He’s that lad who we organized the funeral arrangement for today.”
“Of course I remember. He’s such a pitiable lad. He stayed in the forest for an entire night, and it must be really unbearable!”
A strange look flashed across Torello’s eyes, and he sighed while saying.
“I don’t believe that you didn’t hear any news!”
This attitude instantly made Michule roll his eyes. “He isn’t pitiable at all now. Conversely… he’s very lucky! He’s going to become a horseman and obtain the rank of a knight.”
“That’s… too unbelievable…”
Although Torello was complimenting him, Michule still found a glimmer of jealousy hidden beneath his eyes.
“The fortune and troubles that the position brings about are also unbearable.”
Michule grinned and said, “As the pastor of the Death God, what sort of abnormity do you think Luhn has?”
“Abnormity?”
Torello’s heart quivered. Although he really wanted to frame Luhn and smoothly destroy him, he was ultimately not a reckless person and naturally had some ideas in his heart. “Sorry… I don’t. The Lord, Hess, is the master of the netherworld. Using his powers and authority, I can directly observe souls. That person probably has no problem.”
“Is that so…”
This time, it was Michule’s turn to scratch his hair in frustration. “According to the confessions of the two criminals, they had already killed Luhn long ago with a dagger embedded into his heart. Unless there are pastors with the rank of an archbishop nearby, and they had unleashed the ‘Large Healing Technique’ on him, then there was no way he could’ve lived!
“However in reality, not only did Luhn survive, but he’s even living a good life…”
Torello’s eyes slowly lit up and instantly turned dark. “Too bad… I didn’t find any abnormalities on his body. Perhaps, I can ask the archbishop in the city to check, but only if you allow it…”
“No way!”
Torello’s face was completely green.
What a joke! How could he allow for something so ridiculous to happen?
After all, the other party is a successor of the royal family, not a criminal!
The rank of an official knight was even present on his body!
If word got out that it was Michule himself who had intentionally obstructed a knight’s successor and regarded him as a criminal, then even a master’s descendant would definitely punish him by cutting him up into countless pieces.
Furthermore, regarding the news on Owen and the baron, that information existed only in his brain, and he completely clueless as to the baron’s intentions.
The other party wouldn’t leave any evidence lying around for these types of things. Otherwise, without even needing Owen to bribe these two people, and if the baron had slightly hinted to Michule, then this town mayor would have a hundred different ways to eliminate the original Luhn, without fearing for the future.
“If this isn’t possible, then there’s only one final solution!” Torello smiled and said, “Town mayor, do you know the requirements for succeeding the position of a knight?”
Succeeding a noble title and a knight’s manor would usually also represents the transfer of one’s responsibilities.
In this realm, there are even more strict rules for this.
For instance, the most fundamental one was that it had to be transferred to a male successor, as the fief and military service are closely linked. As the new leader, there’s also the obligation to fight alongside the higher-up lords.
Of course, in this extraordinary realm, some women possess abilities that are completely on par with that of the men, but they are exceptions.
“The rank of Knight Jorah also has the obligation to participate in military service… But Luhn is a male and can mount a horse while wearing a corselet…” Michule spoke hesitantly.
“However, before succeeding, he needs to go through a test, right?”
Torello grinned and said, “Regardless of whether he’s about to go through an inspection or participate in anything else, there lies our opportunity!”
“Correct! A test!”
Michule eyes lit up, and his heart instantly became a little clearer. “Only the baron would need to consider what kind of attitude he needs to display to Luhn. What I need to do is be impartial and treat everything fairly.”
I just need the procedures to be accurate and nobody would be able to gossip then.
And with his understanding of his own master, if the businessman, Owen, really did collude with the baron, then the place where it was most likely going to happen would be during that test!
…
Very quickly, Fang Yuan obtained a great inheritance from a dead relative. News of him becoming a knight started spreading in Blue Moon town.
For the farmers who had little entertainment in their lives, and spent their whole lives farming, this was undoubtedly a very good topic for discussion.
Furthermore, they had already worked hard their whole lives and had no extravagant hopes of becoming royalty. Hence, Fang Yuan also got a nickname: “Lucky Luhn!”
Numerous jealous looks were following his back at all times. The news regarding him falling out with his two friends and throwing them both into jail was spreading even more rapidly.
“The town mayor has made no other moves. It seems like he’s also someone who clearly plans first before acting!”
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on a green rock in a small forest beside the river, and he closed his eyes in deep thought.
With his spiritual intuition, he can detect a lot of people monitoring him from the outside—the militia who were afraid of him escaping.
However, it was still within an acceptable boundary due to the fact that the other party didn’t follow him inside.
“From the other party’s actions, I can see the town mayor’s inclination…”
At this moment, he inadvertently sighed silently in his heart.
“He’s mostly staying out of this affair, but there’s a small part of him that has a little animosity…”
He sharply realized that he spoke insincerely during their last conversation. After investigating, he had already found the underlying reason.
“According to Maz’s and Rick’s confession, Owen is my next successor down the line. Unless I die, he wouldn’t be able to inherit even a strand of hair from Knight Jorah… I can understand why he would take risks for this. But the troublesome thing is that Owen not only opened a trading company, but he has close relations with the Blood Moon baron!
“Perhaps, this is the source of the town mayor’s animosity!
“However, I have nothing to request from him at the moment. The prey that I casually brought back last time is enough to serve as a few days worth of necessities. After a few days, I will recover a portion of my abilities!”
Of course, there’s still the existence of a real God in this realm, so Fang Yuan cannot act too abnormally, or else it would spark the higher being’s attention. Even if he could completely retreat, all his plans would’ve gone completely down the drain.
“This time the reason I came over was to mainly investigate this realm… At the moment, at least I can sense that… the heavens and the netherworld, together with the plane of the chemical elements, really does contain a vast and mighty power…”
The heavens is a residence for the gods, while the netherworld is where spiritual souls die and end up in.
And various planes made up of chemical elements are transformed by countless pieces of surface debris, becoming the source for a majority of the Main World’s Extraordinary power.
“This structure is indeed relatively stable and can increase its pendant at any time… it’s also the absorption plane…”
The more Fang Yuan investigated, the more he felt the grandeur of this realm. “This entire realm exists to continuously fragmented planes… I even suspect that it can completely digest a smaller world.”
“This majestic world is already at the brink of sublimation. If there’s an opportunity, it’s completely possible for it to ascend to a realm of a higher dimension!
“With its foundation, it could also withstand origin power!”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly set a kind of determination.
Of course, it was just an intention.
Before he has fully investigated this realm, he naturally wouldn’t act rashly.
“Although the dangers of this small town have been eliminated, there are more imminent dangers following the commencement of the inheritance. I have no choice but to expose a portion of my abilities….”
There is no problem with exposing one’s abilities. The most problematic part was how to find an origin for it.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was constantly thinking about the fighting system of the Stan Duchy.
Whoosh!
He suddenly stood up, punched with his fist, and kicked out his leg energetically. The air flow in the surroundings surged, and his joints released a sound similar to frying beans.
“At the moment, it could be said that my current body has already reached the pinnacle of the average person in this realm… I need to obtain a few Extraordinary seeds to ascend one more step… I really hope I can meet a warrior or any other Extraordinary, so I can investigate further…”
Even a skillful housewife cannot cook without rice. At this moment, after his refinement, his body can truly be called a “Sage body.” Regardless of what he cultivates in, it will progress at a tremendous rate.
Unfortunately, he’s only missing a key to unlock it.
“It’s already considered fast. Very soon, someone will proactively accompany me in getting swept up into this vortex and send the key into my hands!”
Fang Yuan sat down once again and displayed a posture that faced the sky. He started to slowly regulate his own breathing.
“Luhn… Your Excellency!”
At this moment, a militia hesitantly came in and bowed slightly.
Previously, his attitude definitely wasn’t as respectful as it was now.
No, this already cannot be considered respect; instead, this is reverence!
“What’s up?” Fang Yuan opened his eyes and asked calmly.
“A messenger from the Shawshank Center is here, and they brought your inheritance documents!” This militiaman breathed deeply.
Although he previously knew this lad, the other party, at this moment, had the additional title of royalty, and it instantly gave him an unfathomable sense of majesty.
“As long as you head towards the Shawshank Center and complete the succession procedures, you’ll become a knight! The baron’s written comments also arrived. Both Maz and Rick would be sentenced to the gallows for plotting to murder a royal successor!”
This was the real reason behind the militiaman reverence!
All of them were previously from the small town. But, suddenly, two of them became corpses.
This discrepancy wasn’t something that could be tolerated by anyone.
“I understand!”
Fang Yuan stood up calmly and wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all.
Even if the Blue Moon baron desperately wanted him to die, he wouldn’t directly express that. Furthermore, on the outside, he would have to appear to politely receive him and uphold justice for him. These were the rules of the game between royalty!
As for Maz and Rick? The elect to kill those two useless dogs was naturally a decision made without hesitation.
In order to uphold the external image of a baron, these two people had no choice but to die, and they had no chance of being pardoned from death!
