In less than two days, the news of Moonlight Town's destruction by Mukong spread throughout the entire Bat Kingdom! And the story that began to circulate in the Imperial City had already formed various versions in the mouths of many people.
These stories are fragmentary, and the process may be completely different, but they all have one thing in common!
For a while, the Imperial City, which was originally full of Mukong's magical images, became the birthplace of spitting Mukong. The words of the people were terrifying, and all the magical images about Mukong were ruthlessly destroyed.
There were even a large number of people who rushed into the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, smashed the statue of Mu Kong, and even broke the gate of the Academy of Magic to pieces.
The anger towards Mu Kong is getting deeper and deeper, the call for cursing Mu Kong is getting louder and louder, and there are more and more people involved, and there are thousands of versions of the story about Mu Kong being bewitched by the abyss demon to kill and take his soul.
When most people flaunted the banner of justice, shouted to kill Mu Kong under the slogan of kindness. There are also some rational different voices that sounded, but after all, they were unbeatable sparks and were extinguished in the crowd.
"Grandpa! Mu Kong will never be bewitched by demons! I have always been with him in the soul abyss, I can testify!" Lan Yueling said to Old Man Lan with a crying voice.
She didn't understand why, overnight, Mu Kong, who was originally praised and respected, suddenly turned into a murderous demon that everyone shouted at.
"Alas, girl, don't you understand? This is someone deliberately trying to discredit Mu Kong!" Old Man Hong stood on the top floor of the Magic Guild, looked at the angry crowd below, shook his head and sighed.
"Then let's go and clarify for Mu Kong! We tell them that Mu Kong will never be bewitched by the devil, someone wants to frame Mu Kong!" Lan Yueling's eyes showed a hint of hope.
Old man Lan patted Lan Yueling on the shoulder, and sighed secretly in his heart, why didn't he want to clarify for Mu Kong? After all, Mu Kong was a young man he was optimistic about! But now, everything was too late, even if they couldn't change anything.
"If we had caught the rumor-mongers at the beginning, we might have been able to control the scene. But now, look at these crazy people......" Old man Hong shook his head after all and said nothing more.
Old Man Lan frowned, he had a guess in his heart! To be able to spread the rumors to such a point in this short period of time, in fact, there were only a few people.
However, what is the use of knowing it? Moonlight Town is indeed gone, the people are dead, and Mu Kong is even more gone. Now, even if it is fake, it can become true in one or ten or ten hundred times.
What's more, there are also people in Garloton who testify that they saw Mu Kong and the Gothic mercenary group go out of the city together! Someone went to the wilderness to look for clues, but only found a stump of the severed limb in one place.
At this moment, all the evidence seemed to point to Mu Kong destroying Moonlight Town, and the crowd who were accustomed to standing on the moral high ground found more sufficient reasons, and the intensity of their criticism became stronger and stronger.
"Are we just going to let the rumors spread and do nothing? Are we just watching the people behind the scenes succeed?" Lan Yueling's eyes were red, and what appeared in her mind was Mu Kong's face.
Why, why am I ready to give up on you, but you have once again taken possession of my heart?
Old Man Lan and Old Man Hong glanced at each other, and finally shook their heads weakly and said, "Don't worry...... The rumors won't last long, and when the anger and jealousy in their hearts are almost released, they will naturally have no strength. ā
Lan Yueling glared at the two grandfathers fiercely, and walked out of the room angrily. She didn't know that these ignorant people were just the targets of incitement, and they didn't even know what they were angry about.
Under the slogan of justice, releasing the depression in his heart, and being played with in applause by the real people behind the scenes, what a group of poor worms!
But he has nothing to do with this group of poor worms, and he can't even do anything to defend Mu Kong, isn't this even more pitiful than poor worms?
Just when Lan Yueling was worried about Mu Kong, Shui Ruoqing was also released by Shui Feng. She hurriedly rushed out of the Marquis's Palace, wanting to do something, but the story that was circulated in the crowd made her face pale.
"How could this be! How could this be!" she shook her head like crazy, grabbed a person who was scolding Mu Kong, and eagerly explained, "Mu Kong was not bewitched by the devil, all of this was framed by Bart!"
Shui Ruoqing's words immediately aroused the hostility of the people around them, defending a murderer who everyone shouted and beating, and even slandered His Majesty the Great King, whom they respected, which immediately touched their anger.
A woman with a mean appearance said fiercely: "Many people have seen Mu Kong's murderous appearance, and some people have even seen Mu Kong eat his parents with their own eyes! How can it be fake! You woman, defending a murderer, is not a good person!"
"Yes, yes, a turtle from a small town, if he hadn't sold his soul to the devil, how could he have won the first place in Wuluo Dabi when he was only a teenager?
"Does this woman of yours have anything to do with that Mu Kong? she even wants to splash dirty water on His Majesty's body!"
The crowd suddenly stirred, and the eyes that looked at Shui Ruoqing were full of sensitivity, and hostility.
Shui Ruoqing looked at these indifferent eyes, which were filled with crazy bloodlust, and her heart completely sank to the bottom, and she cried weakly, "It's not like this! It's not like this! Mukong was framed by Bart!"
However, it seems so thin and weak. In the crowd, it's like an isolated wretched worm, playing a ridiculous farce alone.
Shui Feng appeared behind Shui Ruoqing at some point, ignoring the indifference of the crowd, sighed weakly, and hugged Shui Ruoqing, who was almost collapsed, home.
After returning to the Marquis's Mansion, Shui Ruoqing suddenly thought of something, grabbed Shui Feng's shoulder tightly and begged, "Father, you know, yes! You know! You go and tell them that Mu Kong is not a murderer, Mu Kong was framed by Bart!"
Tears poured into the eyes, hair was scattered, face was pale, and speech was slurred, no one could believe that this would be the noble and arrogant Shui Ruoqing!
Shui Feng looked at his daughter's appearance, full of distress, but when he thought of Bart's ruthlessness, he suppressed the softness in his heart and said, "Don't say that I won't defend him at the cost of the lives of the whole family, even if I go, with the current situation, do you think it will be of any use?"
"Qing'er ......" At this time, Shui Ruoqing's mother also walked in with a distressed face, but she couldn't help anything after all, so she could only hug her daughter tightly.
Shui Ruoqing's eyes were empty with tears, in her mother's arms, like a frightened kitten, curled up together, so helpless and hesitant.
On the other side, Bart looked in the direction of the Wuluo Empire from a distance, revealing a relieved smile......
