Chapter 84: Your Majesty, Please Forgive My Life!

“Ah… Alexander!”

Angela cried out delightedly, turning to look at the figure that had appeared behind her.

The moment she saw that tall figure appear, the girl instantly felt the heavy pressure on her vanish. Her eyes immediately became clear, and all her anxiety and worries disappeared without a trace.

Lampard, who was standing beside Angela, also finally released his grip on the Black God Soldier sword hilt and let out a soft sigh of relief. The crowd on both sides of the street couldn’t stop themselves from letting out low cheers. King Alexander had arrived, and everyone suddenly seemed to find a spiritual pillar. They firmly believed that in this world, no difficulty could ever stump the almighty King Alexander.

“Unlock the chains, and get out of the way.”

Sun Fei looked at the short, fat monk posturing arrogantly before him and spoke calmly.

The short, fat monk felt furious inside… but he clearly sensed a dangerous aura from the young man before him that made his heart tremble and breath catch. This aura unmistakably warned him: Get lost quickly, or else… the consequences would be very serious.

As if under a hypnotic spell, the short, fat monk loosened the [Light Chain] in his hand and released the poor chestnut-haired girl who had been collared. The chestnut-haired girl, trembling like a frightened little white rabbit, scurried quickly behind Sun Fei. Angela comforted her in a low voice, gently stroking the girl’s hair with her slender hand, soothing the fear in the girl’s heart.

Sun Fei stood in front of them, not speaking, just looking ahead with a calm expression.

It was just a simple glance.

But wherever his gaze swept, the previously fierce knight attendants now looked like wild dogs that had seen the king of the jungle. They were all scared out of their wits, trembling with fear…

No one dared to meet Sun Fei’s eyes.

When the monks tightly grasping the [Light Chains] felt Sun Fei’s gaze fall upon them, it was instantly as if a sharp sword was held against their necks. Their hands holding the [Light Chains] immediately trembled and they let go swiftly, as if what they held wasn’t the Church artifact [Light Chain] that usually allowed them to dare even to bind nobles, but rather a red-hot branding iron.

The unfortunate people who had been locked up felt as if granted a great pardon. Terrified, they scrambled up from the ground and quickly hid behind Sun Fei.

In their eyes, this figure was the most indestructible wall in the whole world. Half a month ago, when the Black Armored Army attacked the city, this figure had defended against the enemy outside the city gates. And now, once again, this same figure had saved them from the clutches of the God of Death at the critical moment.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…

Sun Fei ignored the monks and knight attendants who were completely terrified. He walked gently up to the gilded Magic Carriage. The dozen or so guards on high alert dared not block his way at all as he approached; instead, they obediently made a path, almost as if respectfully seeing off their own master, letting Sun Fei pass.

Sun Fei placed his hand on the carriage shaft and tapped it lightly, saying, “Hey, come out. Let’s have a good talk.”

There was no movement from inside the carriage.

The silence was terrifyingly tense.

“My patience isn’t very good.” Sun Fei frowned. The Might of the Level 20 Barbarian erupted, and a sharp, imposing aura began to spread out from his body. This was the precursor to him taking action.

Just then, there was a creak.

The faint sound of wood rubbing, as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz, yet it made everyone’s hearts tremble simultaneously.

Because the [Two-Legged Bald Rattlesnake] had finally come out again.

“So it is Your Majesty Alexander…” Divine Master Mazzola opened the carriage door. This vicious, cunning, greedy rattlesnake finally did not stand high up on the carriage step; instead, he bent down, got off the carriage, stood on the ground, and gave a slight bow with a smile. “I was just about to visit Your Majesty the King to congratulate King Alexander on officially receiving the Zenit Empire’s conferment and ascending the throne five days from now… Hehe, I didn’t expect to meet Your Majesty so soon. Please accept Mazzola’s congratulations on behalf of the Holy Church.”

The people around were utterly shocked, their eyes wide.

The knight attendants and monks were even more incredulous, staring at Divine Master Mazzola as if he were a stranger. This was too crazy. Since when did our arrogant and domineering Divine Master become as kindly as an old grandpa? Even his attitude just now seemed… seemed like he was trying to flatter this young king? What was going on?

Only Lampard, standing further away, observed that as Divine Master Mazzola first emerged from the carriage door, his gaze flickered almost imperceptibly towards the distant knight commander Luciano, and the latter very discreetly shook his head.

Unfortunately, Sun Fei paid no heed to the rattlesnake’s flattery.

He didn’t even offer the slightest polite response.

“Why did you capture my people?” Sun Fei pointed at the still terrified young girls and middle-aged man standing near Angela and asked bluntly. His brow was slightly furrowed, and his eyes stared intently at Mazzola. His gaze was like a sharp blade, as if if Mazzola gave an unsatisfactory answer the next moment, he would slice Mazzola into pieces.

Surprisingly, even upon hearing such an almost accusatory question, the rattlesnake still displayed patience that was utterly inconsistent with his nature. He followed Sun Fei’s pointing finger with a slightly surprised look, as if he himself knew nothing about what had happened before, and said with a laugh, “Haha, so Your Majesty is angry about this matter. I only realized it myself a second ago that perhaps Her Highness Angela was right. Maybe there was a bit of a misunderstanding. Release them, release them quickly… Your Majesty Alexander, the Church indeed received information that evil Necromancy appeared around Shampoo City. His Holiness the Pope Sergiyeli repeatedly instructed that this must be investigated clearly. As the person in charge of the Church in Shampoo City, I really had no choice!”

“This is the first time, so I won’t pursue it further… However, in the future, if the Holy Church wants to arrest my subjects within Shampoo City, it’s better to let me, the King, know first.”

Faced with the overly enthusiastic Mazzola, the expression on Sun Fei’s face did not change in the slightest. He didn’t even offer a small smile. His gaze swept over Mazzola’s face and finally fixed on the blood-stained whip in the hands of the distant knight commander Luciano. Pointing at it, he shouted, “You, get off your horse, come here!”

Luciano was stunned.

The next moment, the knight commander suddenly felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

How dare this tiny, ant-like king be so disrespectful to him, a proud Three-Star Knight of the Holy Church! Luciano’s bearded cheeks twitched. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly saw Divine Master Mazzola behind Sun Fei slightly shake his head. Luciano then remembered the description of this king in the Church intelligence he had seen earlier. His mind cleared, and his anger dissipated considerably. Suppressing the fury in his heart, he dismounted and came before Sun Fei.

“King Alexander, what are your orders?”

Sun Fei looked him up and down, then pointed towards the poor woman at the edge of the crowd who had been whipped unconscious by him earlier. As if unwilling to say more, he coldly spat out two words from between his teeth: “Apologize. Compensate 100 Gold Coins.”

“You…” Luciano was almost unable to endure it.

But Mazzola suddenly reached out and tugged on Luciano’s knight cloak, then shot a meaningful glance at a monk behind him. The monk in the black robe was evidently a sharp character; he immediately understood. He quickly took out 100 Gold Coins and placed them in Luciano’s hand. Only then did the bearded knight, under Mazzola’s repeated meaningful looks, walk very unwillingly up to the woman, tossed the coins onto her body, snorted coldly, and turned to leave…

“Stop! You haven’t apologized yet!”

Having witnessed the scene, Sun Fei suddenly spoke up, stopping him.

Knight Commander Luciano abruptly turned around. A silvery-white [Battle Aura Ring] spread out from under his feet, enveloping the space within five or six meters around him. His aura instantly surged continuously, fully revealing his Three-Star Strength. Luciano looked coldly at Sun Fei, the meaning in his eyes perfectly clear – Don’t push me too far; I don’t give a damn about you being a king.

Sun Fei switched to [Paladin Mode].

He didn’t say a word.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards Luciano.

When he took the third step, something strange happened – a golden [Battle Aura Ring] also spread out from under his feet. Although the Level 12 Paladin’s true strength and oppressive feeling were still slightly less than the veteran Three-Star Luciano’s, this golden [Battle Aura Ring] struck everyone present, including Mazzola, as if hit by lightning. They stood frozen on the spot.

How was this possible?

A golden Battle Aura Ring?

That was the color of the [Battle Aura Ring] that only the most beloved favorites of the supreme God the Father could possess. Among the millions of knights in the Church, silver Battle Aura Rings were the majority. Those who could possess a golden Battle Aura Ring were the true elites. Although the probability of a golden Battle Aura Ring appearing was less than one in a hundred thousand, whenever one did appear, they were invariably favorites of God the Father, ultimately receiving divine favor, and all becoming prominent, giant figures in the Holy Church in their time.

No matter how many ‘[Two-Legged Bald Rattlesnake]’ Mazzola ‘could think of a thousand venomous schemes in one second’, but at this moment, he was instantly plunged into shock, so stunned that it seemed even his thoughts had stopped.

Just as all the Church personnel were frantically rubbing their eyes, something even more incredible happened. When Sun Fei took his fourth step, another golden ring whooshed out, spreading from under his feet. The two golden rings surged and waned alternately, one wave after another. Their colors were very similar, yet distinct and separate. Everyone could sense that they contained two different types of terrifying Holy Power with different attributes and functions.

“Apologize now!”

The Level 12 Paladin’s Aura was unleashed without reserve. Sun Fei was like a deity wrapped in golden Holy Power, his black hair flying, coated with a layer of gold. His entire person was supremely majestic, impossible to look at directly. That single cold sentence landed like a heavy hammer squarely on the heart of the Church Knight Commander Luciano.

The Paladin character from the Diablo World possessed too many similarities with the knight skills of this world’s Holy Church; one could even say they were exactly the same. Even the ‘Aura’ was so similar to the Church’s ‘Holy Power’ that no one could tell the difference. As a result, everyone present viewed King Alexander at this moment as a high-ranking, reclusive knight of the Church, and they were all utterly astonished.

Knight Commander Luciano’s whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The moment the golden [Battle Aura Ring] appeared, all his resistance melted away like ice. He no longer dared harbor any thought of defiance. Pale-faced, he looked at Sun Fei, his eyes already filled with a pleading expression.

“Your Majesty… Please forgive my life!” Luciano knelt before Sun Fei.
