The turbulent night finally passed.
The next day, as expected, various discussions arose throughout the Imperial Capital.
“A meteor shower annihilated the entire Raifurut family.”
“The Raifuruts annihilated overnight, their glory gone.”
“A mysterious expert descended upon the Raifurut residence, battling a terrifying monster.”
“The Imperial Knight Order, the Royal Knights, and various noble families took action, thoroughly investigating the Raifurut incident.”
“The Emperor, enraged, issued a citywide search warrant overnight, determined to capture the culprit.”
Such topics constantly appeared in the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital, sparking heated discussions and waves of astonishment and shock.
“I didn’t expect that the Raifuruts would actually…”
“Although I don’t like that Marquis family, they were so terrifying, how could they be annihilated overnight?”
“Who is that mysterious expert? How could he be so powerful?”
“Capable of summoning a meteor shower, he must be a very powerful Legendary-level magician, but I don’t know what kind of magic he used.”
“But I heard that he used a sword when fighting that mysterious monster, even cleaving the dragon breath and severing the monster’s giant body, hundreds of meters tall.”
“If that’s the case, then he might be a Legendary-level warrior even stronger than Lord Bigusler, right?”
“My god, powerful magic that can summon a meteor shower, and swordsmanship capable of severing a giant monster hundreds of meters tall, is there such a versatile Legendary-level expert in this world?”
“Who knows.”
“Anyway, the Raifuruts are truly finished this time.”
“This can be considered retribution.”
The citizens engaged in such conversations, which were initially quite realistic, but gradually became more and more exaggerated. Some even claimed that it was an expert from the Demon Realm who attacked the Raifurut family.
And this heated discussion brought about two changes.
One was that the previous rumors targeting Harvis and Rockto were replaced by this hot topic, causing many nobles to temporarily shift their attention away from the Bigusler family, finally relieving them from criticism.
The other was that Shien’s existence became the object of curiosity and pursuit for everyone in the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital valued martial prowess and admired the strong, having an innate respect for powerful individuals.
Now, a mysterious expert capable of single-handedly annihilating the entire Raifurut family had appeared in the Imperial Capital, naturally causing various discussions.
Especially since the Raifurut family didn’t have a good reputation in the Empire, and a strange and ferocious monster had appeared in their territory, many people believed that the Raifurut family might have done something to anger heaven, cultivating that evil creature, and the mysterious expert came to uphold justice, eradicating the sinful Raifurut family.
This angered many powerful figures in the Empire.
While the commoners disliked the Raifuruts, these powerful figures still needed the Raifuruts to do their dirty work, providing them with assassins and spies to eliminate those who opposed them.
Now, with the Raifurut family annihilated, this was a huge loss for those high-ranking officials of the Empire.
Naturally, they also felt immense hatred towards the mysterious expert who annihilated the entire Raifurut family.
“Investigate!”
“We must investigate!”
“Find that culprit!”
“He actually annihilated the entire Raifurut family, damn it! How are we going to handle those shady tasks for the Empire in the future?”
“Damn it!”
These high-ranking officials were furious.
Under such circumstances, as Shien and the others expected, Saliro immediately thought of the mysterious expert who repelled him in the Bigusler residence yesterday.
Both wore cloaks, and the Raifurut family was annihilated on the same night that person appeared. Even a fool would connect the two.
So, Saliro immediately reported this matter, further enraging the high-ranking officials of the Empire.
“Rockto, you really are colluding with the Kingdom, aren’t you!?”
“Immediately send troops to surround the Bigusler residence!”
“We must teach them a lesson!”
Many high-ranking officials shouted like this.
But, just as Rockto said, after the initial excitement, these people calmed down.
“If Rockto is really colluding with that mysterious expert, then this matter is troublesome.”
“We can still use Saliro to contain Rockto, and we believe he wouldn’t dare to truly act against the Empire. As long as we dispatch the Imperial Knight Order and use the detained Bigusler family members as hostages, we don’t have to worry about him causing trouble.”
“But that mysterious expert is different.”
“He dared to attack the Raifurut family in the Imperial Capital and successfully annihilated them overnight. He can use powerful magic to summon a meteor shower and can slay a giant monster hundreds of meters tall with a single sword strike. If he really goes on a rampage, and Rockto doesn’t stop him, even if we can defeat him, we will suffer heavy losses, right?”
“This…”
The high-ranking officials hesitated.
Even Saliro didn’t dare to say anything.
