Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ass Is Cracked

"Isn't this thing too big......" Moving the "explosives" made by Felihill to the front hall, Rafa suddenly remembered that the power of explosives is proportional to the volume, so how powerful is this enlarged version of firecrackers that is more than half a person tall?

He didn't dare to think about it, according to the use of explosives in his memory, as long as the arrangement was reasonable, sometimes only a very small amount of explosives was needed to easily blow up a building, and he had also mentioned to Felihill that he wanted to use explosives to open mines, but he didn't expect this first sample to be so huge.

But if it's used for performance, it should be just right to be so big.

"Your Highness, is this thing used to 'simulate' the fire emitted by witches?" Although Audrey has always disliked witches, she has to force herself to make adjustments after knowing that her friends and sisters Lena are witches.

Patting the stout cylindrical explosives, Rafa laughed, "It's much more than just simulating fire, and with it, we can easily tear through the walls of Byron." ”

Hearing Rafa's bold description, Audair didn't know how to answer, the Light Shield family is the premier knight nobleman in Byron City, although she has been excluded from the family power center as an outcast, but the loyalty to the royal family is firmly imprinted in her heart, and now the prince has said bold words to destroy Byron, she is a little overwhelmed for a while.

If Rafa really wants to go to war with the imperial capital in the future, which side should she be on?

Rafa seemed to have seen her doubts, so she had to explain, "Audrey, I don't want to hide it from you, if Freya loses the battle for the throne in the future, there is a high chance that she will be killed, so I will do whatever it takes to save her......"

"I understand. ”

Audrey had already smelled ominous in the-for-tat competition between the eldest prince and the second princess, but for the royal family, the change of the throne was always accompanied by bloodshed, which was not surprising;

Thinking of this, she was already relieved, because Rafa and Freya were siblings of the same mother, both members of the royal family, and she only needed to do what she had to do, so why bother to think about taking sides?

Seeing Audele's relieved expression, Rafa knew she had figured it out

"Alright, it's almost time. Standing under the eaves, he exhaled a white breath.

A quarter of an hour ago, he was worried about what to do with such a heavy snow, but not long after he complained, the snow stopped in a hurry, and the sky even began to clear, revealing a large expanse of clear sky, and the sunset on the horizon began to loom in the sky.

Fearing that the thing might be too powerful, Rafa chose the location for the demonstration on a wasteland outside the city, which was open enough for most people to see what was going on.

"I really hope this demonstration can be done once and for all, otherwise every time there is a stir, people will associate it with witches. Following behind the cart carrying the explosives, Rafa complained.

"But...... Those 'wind and grass' have something to do with witches," Audrey whispered.

"So I'm going to make these things the norm and do the things that only witches can do, so that everyone's fear of witches will gradually decrease. ”

"Maybe. ”

Audrey's hand was pressed to his sword, vigilantly observing the crowd around him as he walked outside the city, all answering absent-mindedly.

I have to say that Sievers is still very good at doing things, when Rafa and his party walked outside the city, the crowd that was sparse just now was very organized to form a phalanx, neatly arranged into a semicircle, waiting for Rafa's arrival.

"That's the population of the entire Icefield City, it's too small. Passing by the crowd lined up, he sighed a little, plus the Knights, the entire Ice Plains City is only more than a thousand people, compared to the central part of the Aura Empire, this is also the population of a small town.

Just as Rafa was preparing for the demonstration, Felihill also led the witch and the others to the top of Icefield City, watching everything that happened in the distance from afar.

"He doesn't look like an aristocrat. Hedda was very beautiful in her dress and dressed in Felihill, but the eyes of the fire witch who were supposed to be fiery were as cold as ice.

Felihill said silently, "He has decided to abandon his status as a prince, and it is only a matter of time before he and Ola publicly tear his face." ”

Hedda glanced at her, "This is your ...... too"

"No, I didn't do anything to him, but he brought me many unexpected surprises. ”

"Like the thing in front of him?"

"Don't look at these things through the eyes of a witch, these things are the cornerstone of the future that will turn the world upside down. Speaking of subversion, Felihill's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at Rafa, who was talking to the crowd in front of him.

"Ahem, now everyone understands, right?"

He smiled an eerie smile after dancing and pointing to the object in front of him and explaining the principle to everyone in front of him.

As expected, everyone sitting on the ground in front of them was a little stunned, all of them were as stunned as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and some even wondered if the third prince was speaking Ola or not, why he could understand every word, but he just couldn't understand what he was talking about.

Looking at the somewhat blindfolded crowd, Rafa knew that his purpose had been achieved, and just like the last test shot of the firearm, he just had to explain that it had nothing to do with the witch.

"There may be a loud noise later, so I hope you are prepared in advance. ”

In order to prevent possible accidents, Rafa asked the knights of the Order to take out all their combat shields and let the knights line up in the middle of the crowd to prevent anyone from being injured by the debris from the explosives.

Then Rafa and Audrey began to walk off into the distance, holding a bag of loose gunpowder and a stout cylinder of explosives.

It's just that he seems to have walked a little far, more than half a mile, and in the eyes of the crowd, he can only see two colorful figures squirming in the barren world.

"Your Royal Highness, where are you going?" someone whispered.

"What the hell is that thing in his hand?"

"I don't know, I heard it's used to open a mine. ”

"What? Can mines be mined in this wasteland?"

"I don't know. ”

When the crowd of people who didn't know the truth were discussing the whole world, Rafa finally stopped.

"Whew, fortunately there is no snow, otherwise the gunpowder powder would have been wet. ”

Placing the explosives on the ground, he opened the pocket of gunpowder and took a look.

"It's so delicate, I really don't know how she did it. ”

With a sigh of admiration, he poured the powder powder onto the lead made of tissue paper for the cylinder explosives, and began to scatter the powder backwards along the way it came.

Looking at Rafa's strange appearance of bowing his head and bending back at the same time, people looked straight in the eyes.

"Your Highness, what kind of dance is this performing?"

"You don't know that, do you? This is the 'Cultivated Land Dance' that can only be seen at royal banquets!"

"Yo, have you ever seen a royal banquet?"

"Is that not it?"

Mo said that people couldn't understand Rafa's operation, and even Audrey, who was standing next to him, was confused, although Rafa made a lot of weird things, and it was absolutely impossible for this thing to be ordinary today, but she couldn't stand the strange gaze of the crowd in the distance.

However, the gunpowder in the bag was quickly poured, but it was not far from the explosives, and there was no way but he could only let Audrey leave first, and then stay for himself.

If Audrey had known that this thing had a lot of power, she would never have left.

When Audrey had gone far enough, he turned his head, drew his sword, and slashed at the nearby stone.

"Bang Dang"

The swords and stones intersected, and a few sparks burst out, igniting the gunpowder powder at his feet.

Rafa, who ran away, attracted the attention of the crowd again, and they realized that His Royal Highness the prince seemed to be no different from themselves when he ran.

"Damn, this is burning too fast!" he was startled when he glanced back at the burning line of fire.

The ignited gunpowder flew across the sky like a meteor and soon reached the explosives that lay across the ground.

"This idiot, don't run yet. ”

Felihill, who was staring at Rafa closely, secretly blamed himself for not having enough gunpowder ready.

The cheerful crowd thought that His Royal Highness the Prince was here to show his dancing and running posture today, but they didn't think so.

But when the flames flowed to the explosives, everything came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

"Bang!"

A thunderous bang suddenly rang out!

Everyone felt as if someone had suddenly slammed their chests, and their ears could hear nothing for a moment, only a blank buzz.

Rafa, who was closest to the explosives, was directly overturned by a huge force from behind, and smashed to the ground.

The sudden tremor of the earth froze everyone.

They stared blankly at the gray-white smoke slowly rising in the distance, until the cold shards of dirt from the sky fell above their heads, and then they showed fearful eyes.

Dirt and gravel poured down like a torrential rain, "crackling" and falling on the shields that the knights had already erected, causing the crowd to burrow under them.

Rafa, who was closest to the explosives, was not so easy, as if he had been trampled on the soles of his feet by a giant, and the huge pressure shook his ears and shattered stones one after another, and if he hadn't been physically strong, he would have been stoned to death by the falling debris.

The "rain of dirt and stones" quickly ended, and the stunned crowd and knights all showed frightened expressions, they now finally believed that the explosion in the City Lord's Mansion last night was caused by His Royal Highness the Prince himself.

"Phew, bah, bah. ”

Already covered in a layer of dirt, Rafa struggled to his feet, spitting out the mud from his mouth as he shook the dirt off his body.

Looking back at the explosion site, the ground was full of ravines that spread from the center to all sides, and the center of the explosion formed a huge crater, and at this time, gray-white smoke was slowly rising from it, and the surrounding blasted earth was still steaming.

Audrey rushed towards Rafa like crazy, and although her ears were still a little buzzing at this time, she was anxious at the thought of Rafa, who was closer to the explosion.

Rafa knew what she was worried about, so she smiled at Audrey, who was running, and signaled that she was okay.

But when he took the step, he found that he didn't seem to be injured.

The pain came, and he turned his head to look at his lower back, the huge wound made him wonder if there was something wrong with his Xingyin.

"I'm cracked. ”

It was a huge wound that ran straight from the back to the back of the buttocks, presumably torn by the shock wave of the explosives.

"Your Highness, are you alright!?"

Audair ran to Rafa, but was surprised to find that she couldn't hear herself, so she shouted several more times.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine!"

Seeing that the excited Audrey was repeating a sentence, she had to press her shoulder to calm her down.

In order not to worry Audair and make a fool of himself in front of so many people, he quietly pulled down his robe and covered up the huge wound behind him.

Audele, who was gradually regaining her hearing, stared at Rafa for a long time, and did not find anything wrong with him, except for a little discouragement.

"Let's go. ”

Enduring the severe pain, Rafa tried to make himself walk as naturally as possible.

But before he could reach the crowd, Felihill and his party had already stopped him in a hurry.

"You...... Are you alright?" Filihill, frowning, looked at Rafa with some concern.

"It's okay, what can I do?"

Somehow, Rafa wanted to say "I have a cracked butt", but when he saw Felihill's somewhat anxious expression, he suddenly couldn't say it again.

Looking at Rafa, who continued to walk towards the crowd, except for Felihill, all the witches looked at each other a little.

How could he be okay?

When they were on the wall, they saw Rafa being hit in the head by a huge stone that was coming at a rapid pace.

But now he's unscathed?

How is this possible?

Except for the witch, they didn't know who else would survive such a thump.

Enduring the pain, Rafa shouted to the crowd that "witches are not the only ones who have power" (even though the witches were standing not far away)

After listening to the hasty speech of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, whose face was pale, the frightened crowd returned to the city one after another, and Rafa also mixed in the crowd and returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.
