The door made of colorful glass slowly opened, pushed by the two Silver Moon Knights.

The noise outside the church swarmed, like a gust of wind, quickly filling the entire hall.

Gray looked around, and the friends of the White City team were still scattered.

After a brief silence, Shelley stood up, walked over to Gray, and took his hand.

"Whatever it is, I'm willing to face it with you. ”

"Thank you. ”

Irene sighed helplessly, so she could only walk over and stand beside Gray.

Immediately after that, there were others. Including the helpless Jones and Dora, including the drifting Path, and the ignorant Bob.

Finally, all eyes were on Count Gruglu, who was alone.

Count Grugrew took a deep breath and said softly, "Is there no other way......? We are going to revise the decree on the basis of the present so that at least it does not have to be repealed altogether. Quietly modify it without even letting them know. This will allow the opposition to be tempered a little. ”

"Any decree has unintended consequences, and it takes time to amend it. None of us know what to do right. If we make a mistake, we don't even have a chance to remedy it. The best thing to do now is to get everything back to the way it was. At least as it is, we all know that there will be no big problems, and people know how to live their lives. "It was Ireen who said these words.

After another moment of silence, Count Grugrew could only sigh and say, "Okay." Then he reluctantly walked over to Gray and stood behind him.

This is indeed the most appropriate course of action at the moment, aside from the prestige of Gray himself and the situation at hand.

Stepping aside, Gray walked towards the balcony, the others following him.

When Gray appeared on the balcony, the crowd in the square fell silent. Everyone watched with wide eyes.

"Is it a good thing to call us all here so late?"

"Probably, it's a paladin after all. ”

"Will the new decree be for us to divide all the property of the nobles? It's nice not to have to work anymore. ”

"Hahahaha, I just sold the land yesterday. It seems that land prices are going to fall again. ”

Residents are talking.

In the crowd, the author of "A Knight's Guide to Becoming a Talent" silently cheered in his heart: "More exciting ones, more exciting ones! When the time comes, my novel will definitely sell out! I will print a million copies in one go!"

Benedict II, who was hiding in the crowd, shrank his head and turned around to run, but was grabbed by Andrew, who was wearing a cloak on the side.

"Where do you want to go?"

"What if...... What if he finds out about me?"

"As a king, how afraid of death are you, if you continue to act like a wreck, I will leave immediately, and you can do it yourself!"

"No...... You, I beg you not to go. Benedict II had no choice but to bite the bullet and come back, bowing his head, not daring to look in Gray's direction. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

In fact, he didn't know that everyone was looking up, only he was lowering his head, which would only make him more conspicuous.

The whole square was silent, with only sporadic sounds. Everyone was quietly waiting for Gray. Full of anticipation.

Gray was silent, looking around at the ocean of people below. Silence.

......

Alternate dimension.

Catherine flapped her wings and landed on a cloud.

The huge open-air clouds form a series of "tables", which are filled with all kinds of bottles and cans, and the clouds floating in the air act as "cabinets".

Three angels are busy in the midst of it.

Catherine hurriedly came to one of the angels and handed over the empty bottle in her hand: "Please help me see what this bottle contains, it's in a hurry." ”

The angel was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the bottle, fanned it with his hand, and sniffed it gently: "Elf potion?

"I don't know, I brought it back from a human being, help me take a look. ”

"Okay, we'll have to wait a minute. The angel said.

"I'm sorry for you. ”

......

After a long time, Gray took a step forward, put his hands on the balcony fence and said, "I'm sorry to let you come here so late." Because I have something important to announce. ”

The voice was blessed by magic and reached everyone's ears directly, making sure they could hear it clearly.

"It's fine, as long as it's a good thing, you can let me stand here all night. Hahahaha. ”

"Will you get a little more money this month?"

"I wanted a new dress, but it was too expensive. Can the Paladins stipulate that dresses can't be sold too expensive?"

"Do you want to give a wife to a bachelor?"

The people in the square responded sporadically, muttering.

The black cat whispered: "It's better not to talk about the food crisis, you look at these people, if they know about the food crisis and start desperately hoarding food, it will be even worse." Something big will happen right away. I even think it's best not to let them know when you go to various countries to look for food. ”

Gray paused, then continued, "Based on what I have seen so far, I have decided to withdraw the decree that has been issued. ”

All of a sudden, the whole square fell silent. There was not even a sporadic sound, only the whirring of the wind and the burning of torches.

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Gray in dismay. Including Benedict II and Andrew, as well as the author of "A Knight's Guide to Success", who was cheering for a moment ago.

Everyone was stunned.

The corners of the author's mouth twitched.

"Yes, you heard it right. Gray's voice rang out again in the square, and he exclaimed, "Based on what has been seen so far, I unfortunately do not think the new decree is appropriate. I decided to withdraw them all. There will be no more money, you have to work to support yourselves. There will be no more lenient laws, you must take care of yourselves and be kind to others. ”

"Why?" cried out urgently.

"Because, I have found that what is being done now is not suitable for you. Not that it will never fit, but, at least not now. Maybe someday I'll do it again, but not now. We need to take it one step at a time, so that everyone gradually understands the new way of life. Then ......"

"We know life very well!" someone interrupted Gray, exclaiming, "We're having a good time!"

"Yes, we had a great time!"

"You can't deprive us of our joy!"

"I'm sorry, I'm here to apologize to everyone!" Gray shouted.

However, the shouts of the masses were louder than his.

"Let's not apologize!"

"Yes, we don't apologize! Give us back the money that belongs to us!"

Gray was silent, looking around at the grumbling residents.

Bob blinked and looked up at Gray.

Gray's companions were silent.

"How can you do this! My land is desolate, and I will starve to death if you do this!"

"I quit my job, and now you say you don't pay anymore?"

"I've lost all the money I'm going to send next month, and you're telling me now?"

"It's too much!"

Gray looked at the inhabitants, summoned up his courage, and shouted: "Everyone will have difficulties, I understand! I will try to help you solve your difficulties, stand with you, and help you through difficult times! But from this moment on, the decree will be canceled, and you must support yourselves! No one should continue to fall! Your paladins will still stand with you!"

"No! let's not cancel the decree! Give back our good life!" an egg was tossed from the crowd and hit Gray's mask.

"We don't want paladins!

The egg whites and yolks were stirred together and slowly lowered down Gray's mask.

Shelley took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Gray in distress.

"No cancellation of the decree!"

"Who gave you the right to revoke the decree, can you do this to us just because you're a paladin?"

"Give our money back!"

"Bullshit Paladin!"

Gray's prestige is collapsing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"Look, that's the consequence. A bunch of fools. Count Grugrew said with a blank face: "Politics is always a lie, don't fantasize that you can treat them with sincerity. They won't care if you say you're doing the right thing, they won't care how much you've done for them. They only care about what they get. As long as you can give them money, they don't even care who they stole it from, they just want to get it for nothing. I support you in imposing martial law on the whole city, suppressing all dissent, and forcing them to do what you want. We have enough troops. ”

"But that's not what I wanted. ”

"What do you want? You want a wonderful world of fantasy? That never exists. Or rather, these people are not worth it. ”

Another egg flew over and slammed into Gray's mask.

Shelley continued to scramble to wipe.

Irene stood beside Gray without saying a word.

"It may not be appropriate, but as is customary, I have to ask, 'Do you want to think about the Fall, is the Fall comfortable?'" Vivien whispered.

Gray didn't answer, just silently, indifferently looking around at the ocean of residents in the plaza below the balcony.

Now, it's a tsunami.

The overwhelm was thrown towards the balcony, with eggs, rotten leaves, potatoes, and even shoes. Not only on Gray, but also on the members of the small team in White City. The scene was chaotic, and the people on the balcony had to scramble to dodge.

"You don't have the right to do that!"

"You're not even a king, why!"

"Against! Against the cessation of the New Deal!"

The author of "A Knight's Guide to Becoming a Talent" stood in the crowd and wanted to cry without tears: "Fuck, I'm almost done writing my novel, and now you tell me to stop the New Deal? How can you still let me sell it?" Tell me about your mother!"

He picked up the stone from under his feet and threw it towards the balcony with all his might.

Andrew and Benedict II looked surprised.

Benedict II couldn't believe his ears: "What is he doing? Stop the New Deal? Is he crazy? He has already won, is he going to ruin everything with his own hands?"

"Who knows?" Andrew half-squinted, staring at Gray on the balcony, "But that's fine, if we have to tear our faces later, we'll be better." ”

"Tearing your face?"

"Maybe you need it, you don't need it. Andrew raised an eyebrow and said, "The choice is in his hands." ”

......

"It's ...... Some kind of transformation potion. ”

"Transformation potion?" Catherine was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, the Potion of Transformation. It can be determined that it is something from the Blood Elves. Combined with the corresponding spell, it can change the appearance of the user. The exact spell and the shape of the change would probably take a few days to be tested. And it seems that there is something else in it. ”

"Is there a way to lift it?"

"Absolutely. However, you have to find out what is added to it first. The angel who helped with the inspection looked at the dropper in his hand and said.

......

Shelley stood beside Gray, silently looking down.

Some of the residents had already begun to rush forward, but fortunately, Gray had brought back all the Silvermoon Knights early, and even transferred some of the soldiers who had surrendered under the king's command from the barracks into the city. This prevented the situation from developing in a more serious direction.

Looking at the agitated residents, Gray was stunned: "What should I say now to appease them?"

"I think it's best if you don't say anything, because it's useless to say anything. The black cat whispered, "Not letting them see you is probably the best option." Let them calm themselves down. ”

"Okay. Turning back, Gray said to the others, "Let's go back first." ”

With that, Gray had turned to leave.

"Negotiations broke down. Andrew stretched out a finger and quietly wrote in the air, silently reciting the incantation.

In an instant, Shelley, who was about to return to the church with Gray, stopped, and the whole person froze, clutching his chest, his breathing became rapid and rapid, and his eyes widened in shock.

Gray also stopped.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I ...... I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Shelley had let go of the hand holding Gray and stepped back step by step.

The whole square fell silent, for they all clearly saw Shelley's mutation.

On the hands and face, black scales are growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the long golden hair is turning black. The ears slowly grow longer and become pointed. Even the pupils are turning into cat-like vertical pupils little by little.

Everyone was stunned.

The same goes for Gray.

Irene's eyes widened in surprise and she covered her lips.

Count Grugru couldn't even speak, and his face was shocked.

In the moonlight, a hysterical scream resounded throughout the square.

Shelley wailed in pain, and right in front of everyone, a pair of black fleshy wings slowly grew behind him, like demonic wings.

The whole square was silent, except for Shelley's voice of pain.

The residents were so shocked that they forgot to throw their things, and kept their posture as if they were about to throw them, and watched blankly.

The whole world was silent.

In less than a minute, Shelley's mutation was complete, and she looked around in panic as she looked down at her hands, at her body, and in panic. That gaze finally fell on Gray, who was also flustered. Tears were pouring down.

The corners of Andrew's mouth slowly rose.

Zeda, who was hiding on the roof in the distance, whispered, "Well, I'm right, right? Of course, they can also push everything to the bottom of the. After all, it wasn't they who took it personally. ”

Before Greka's brain could react, in the crowd, Andrew's mercenary who had already been planted and changed into clerical attire shouted: "The paladin was bewitched by the devil, so he terminated the new policy! He has fallen! Let's defeat this fallen paladin together!"
