Chapter 92: Duel with the Governor

The morning sun shines on the glorious and majestic Storm's End.

Storm's End is built of huge light brown stone.

On its outer layer, there is a thick and towering wall surrounding it.

Li Feng looked towards the high city wall. There were countless bunkers and battlements on the city wall.

Behind the battlements, a row of soldiers in armor stood guard.

At the main entrance of the city wall, there is a huge bronze door three people high, with an iron portcullis outside the door.

At this moment, the iron portcullis was retracted and the huge bronze door was tightly closed.

Under the leadership of Lannis, Li Feng and Kestrel entered through the narrow door on the side.

After entering the city wall, you will see the wide square in front of the fort.

They walked through the square, passed the splendid covered bridge, the arch hall, and finally climbed the steps with soldiers standing guard on both sides.

Finally, we arrived at the eye of the storm, the meeting hall of Storm's End Castle.

Here, Li Feng met Governor Penlos Fell again.

At this moment, the governor was sitting casually on a tall, wide chair with a dragon relief at his feet, taking a nap.

Below him, in the hall of the Eye of the Storm, a group of noble retainers in brocade clothes stood on both sides.

When Li Feng and Kestrel entered the Eye of the Storm, their attendants whispered to the Governor.

But the governor made no move after hearing the report. He still lowered his eyes and fell asleep, and the whole hall was silent.

After a long moment of silence, the governor raised his slightly drooped eyelids and looked towards the center of the hall.

"Ha, it's Kestrel, long time no see."

As if he didn't see Li Feng, Penros Fair opened his eyes and only exchanged greetings with Kestrel.

Kestrel twitched the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly and saluted:

"Your Majesty, the Governor is such a noble man who forgets things. Didn't we fight the devil together a few days ago?

It's a pity that the devil didn't die in our hands. It's a pity in life. "

Kestrel responded with a very relaxed smile, and he politely pointed out the Governor's failure.

Hearing this, the governor's eyes narrowed slightly. After just two sentences, he was stunned.

"Hahaha--"

The governor waved his long arm and immediately changed into an open-minded and heroic look.

He no longer paid attention to Kestrel and turned his eyes to Li Feng.

With an open-minded smile, he took a deep look at Li Feng, who was standing in the center of the hall, and said:

"It seems that this is the great hero who saved our Wind's Breath City—Mr. Rhine. He is truly a talented person with a formidable future."

Governor Feier said this, suddenly paused, and the smile on his face became a little unclear:

"But I have always had a question, and I wonder if Mr. Rhine can answer it for me today.

That is, as a hunter and as a priest of the goddess of wisdom and life, Mr. Rhine, which god do you believe in? "

When Li Feng heard Penlos Fair's question, he understood.

'Sure enough, the second insult is waiting here. The governor is questioning my impure faith. ’

After understanding the governor's intention, Li Feng smiled slightly:

"I believe in the Seven Gods."

The Governor raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

At this time.

Standing at the first place on the left side of the hall, a middle-aged man in black formal suit came out of the queue in confusion.

He first bowed respectfully to the governor, then turned to ask Li Feng and said:

"Mr. Rhine believes in seven gods? This is the first time I've heard this statement."

With an exaggerated expression of confusion on his face, he walked five steps in front of Li Feng and continued:

“I’ve only heard that hunters believe in the goddess of hunting, and light prayers believe in the goddess of wisdom and life.

I have never heard of any extraordinary person who believes in the Seven Gods at the same time. "

The middle-aged man in black formal clothes looked around as he spoke, intending to attract the agreement of other nobles.

And those nobles did immediately agree.

for a while.

Words like "Yes", "That's right", "What Lord Moros said makes sense" were heard all the time in the eye of the storm.

After receiving the response, the man named Moros smiled even more.

Taking advantage of the victory, he continued to question Li Feng, saying:

"The seven gods each have their own specialties, and they teach believers in different ways to maintain peace in the world.

So Mr. Rhine, which path is yours? "

Moros spread his hands slightly in an exaggerated manner and looked at Li Feng with a confused smile.

Moros, Li Feng had heard Captain John talk about this person.

He was Governor Fell's chief political advisor and the real boss of Dotson Shipping Company - Wilson Morrows.

Li Feng still remembered that Moros was not a transcendent person, and it was he who gave Jolly Fair the advice.

Let Jory Fell use the steam warship on the technological side to fight against the Mist pirate ship on the mysterious side.

This ultimately led to the tragic death of 100 Storm's End soldiers.

Li Feng raised his head slightly and glanced around with his peripheral vision.

Now not only Moros is looking at him, but everyone in the Eye of the Storm hall is looking at him, including Governor Penlos Fell.

Unlike Kestrel, who was frowning slightly and looking worried, these people all had relaxed expressions and slightly sarcastic smiles.

They are waiting to see their own show.

At this time.

Li Feng, who was being watched by everyone, actually smiled slightly and replied in a calm and unhurried voice:

"Mr. Participating in Politics is right."

Li Feng's tone was relaxed, without any embarrassment at all:

"As Mr. Participant said, there are seven true gods, and they all teach believers and maintain peace in the world.

Although the methods of teaching are different, the starting point is exactly the same.

The seven gods have come together for us mortals, so how dare we treat them differently and only worship and respond to the god who responds to us? "

Li Feng spoke in a steady tone and with a natural look.

Like Moros, he also said this to everyone present.

The nobles who were waiting to see the joke just now are now silent.

The smiles on their faces disappeared, some looked at Moros, and some secretly looked at Governor Fell.

Moros was stunned by Li Feng's remarks and demeanor. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Eye of the Storm Hall was silent for a second.

Hong Falcon was very happy to see that Li Feng could resolve the crisis by himself.

But at the same time, he was also shocked by Li Feng's words.

Thinking about Li Feng's words, Hong Falcon began to be a little unsure, whether Li Feng said this to fight back against Moros, or he really thought so.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Hong Falcon planned to stand up and make peace.

But at this moment, applause suddenly came from the Governor's throne in the Eye of the Storm Hall.

"Good! Well said! "

Governor Fair clapped his hands and laughed loudly, praising Li Feng, but under the smile, he narrowed his eyes slightly without being noticed.

Governor Fair was very clear in his mind at this time that he did not like this young man.

This had nothing to do with Li Feng's remarks, and even had nothing to do with his close relationship with the Red Falcon and the Ring of the Earth.

Those were just verbal arguments and disputes over positions.

What really concerned Governor Fair was Li Feng's expression and attitude.

This young civilian, in the magnificent and oppressive Eye of the Storm Hall, facing so many nobles whose status was much higher than his, could still be calm and talk freely.

Governor Fair believed that there were only two reasons why a person could do this.

Either, he was a member of the royal family, born with a noble status, and it was normal for him to have such conversation.

Or, this person was extremely ambitious and did not take Storm's End Castle seriously at all.

In the past few days, Governor Fair had already investigated I have checked Li Feng.

But all signs indicate that he cannot be a member of the royal family.

Then, the only explanation for his behavior is the second reason.

That is, this person is extremely ambitious and does not take himself and Fengxi Castle seriously at all.

This is exactly what Governor Fell cannot tolerate the most.

As for Li Feng, he had considered these things before answering Moros's question.

The nobles of the feudal dynasty only asked the common people to be timid, respectful, and obey orders.

Li Feng also considered whether it was necessary to disguise himself, but then he thought, what is this?

He has been a man for three lifetimes, and he can do it openly and honestly, and he can also do sneak attacks and plots, and he can exchange interests, but he can't do things that are servile, and he is even more ashamed to do them.

Life is only a few decades long, and it is better to be a beggar than a slave.

"After all, the young are formidable-"

In the hall of the Eye of the Storm, Governor Fell's voice sounded again:

"It's better than when we were young! "

The Governor was laughing and chatting with Hongshun and his retainers.

The Governor's statement swept away the awkward situation just now.

Hongshun breathed a sigh of relief, and the nobles tried their best to agree with the Governor.

Even the Chief Councillor Moros, who had just lost face, immediately changed his attitude and complimented Li Feng along with the Governor.

The entire Eye of the Storm Hall looked peaceful.

Suddenly, at this moment, the Governor with a pleasant face waved his hand and said to Knight Commander Lannis:

"Lift it up. "

Lannis immediately returned the greeting. His movements were quick and decisive, and did not cause any disturbance in the relaxed and joyful hall.

But after a while, Lannis returned to the hall.

He was followed by two soldiers from Storm's End, and the two soldiers were carrying a stretcher with a rotten corpse on it.

As soon as the three people and the corpse entered the Eye of the Storm Hall, they attracted everyone's attention.

The nobles on both sides of the hall were shocked when they saw the rotten corpse.

They immediately covered their mouths and noses and looked at each other, and then talked in a low voice.

The corpse was placed in the center of the Eye of the Storm Hall, next to Hongshao and Li Feng.

They also looked at Looking at the corpse, Hongshun frowned slightly, not knowing what the governor's intention was.

As for Li Feng, he knew at a glance, isn't this an old acquaintance?

Governor Fair actually found the Abyss Hunter he killed in the underwater cave of Moonlight Island.

Li Feng looked at the corpse carefully, and there was no other change from when he just killed it, except for corruption.

Even the fishbone dagger he had inserted into the hunter's chest and broke was still there.

'It seems that the governor is going to use this to make trouble. '

Li Feng was sorting out various details in his mind, and heard the governor sitting above asked with a smile:

"Mr. Rhine, do you know this person? "

There was no questioning in his tone, just like chatting about family matters, but the meaning was clear to everyone.

After hearing the question, Li Feng looked at the hunter's body.

In fact, he didn't know how many times he had lied about this matter.

This lie is the same no matter where it is told or to whom it is told.

Now, Li Feng repeated his lie to the governor and everyone else.

But this time, he added how he fell into the Moonlight Island Pond in search of fresh water.

Later, he unfortunately sank to the bottom of the water, discovered an underwater cave, and then encountered this corpse.

After Governor Fell heard this, he glanced at Knight Commander Lannis.

Lannis nodded slightly, indicating that what Li Feng said was correct.

A look of disappointment flashed across Governor Fell's face.

And the next moment.

Moros, who had caused trouble for Li Feng just now, came out again.

He walked towards the corpse and looked at it, then turned to Li Feng and asked:

"So Mr. Rhine, as you said, you stole the dead hunter's secret treasure flint after discovering him?"

Moros said the word "steal" very strongly, and it seemed that he wanted to add the name of a thief to Li Feng.

Li Feng naturally heard his intention.

‘It seems that this person can’t catch me, but he still wants to disgust me. ’

Different from the relaxed and indifferent attitude just now, Li Feng took a step forward with a serious expression.

He said to everyone present and the governor:

“Although I had not been promoted to the extraordinary at that time and was just a mortal, I did not lack common sense in the extraordinary field.

This person has a gray complexion and protruding eyeballs. At first glance, he is an abyss-favored person who has been using filthy power for a long time, a minion of the devil.

He had been killed when I met him at that time, but even if he had not died, I would have fought against him as a mortal.

For no other reason than because he is an abyss-favored person who willingly degenerates and makes a living by killing his fellow humans. He is the common enemy of our generation of lawful people. "

Li Feng's words were fair and well-chosen.

As for common sense, I naturally learned it in the church library later.

But these words from the highest moral level left Moros speechless for a moment.

But Moros immediately had a few thoughts in his mind.

After all, he has been involved in politics for many years, and has gradually climbed to the position of chief political participant. How could he not be able to hear ordinary words?

Li Feng's words just now seemed righteous, but what did they have to do with him stealing this man's secret treasure?

At this time, Moros smiled secretly in his heart:

‘This young man is young and inexperienced after all. The more he says this, the more hypocritical he will appear. ’

After realizing this, Moros immediately counterattacked:

"Can……"

But Li Feng interrupted him at the right moment.

He said loudly again to everyone present:

"I first met this man in an underwater cave. I thought he was a poor man and wanted to bury him."

Li Feng glanced at the dead bodies on the ground and continued:

"But when I got closer, I saw that he was actually the one favored by the abyss. I really hated the humans who took refuge in the devil.

But he was dead at the time, and there was nothing I could do.

Although the dead are great, I will never bury someone who has taken refuge in the devil.

But just when I wanted to leave, I suddenly felt something.

In a daze, I felt that the fatigue and pain of my shipwreck suddenly disappeared.

Based on the extraordinary knowledge I had read in books, I realized that I had awakened extraordinary abilities.

At the same time, I heard a gust of wind, and it was this gust of wind that guided me to find the flint under this man's robe. "

Among the nobles in the hall opposite, Li Feng lied confidently.

Naturally, the player does not have the sense of awakening the extraordinary. These are what Li Feng later learned in the church library.

I learned it at that time just to prepare myself for emergencies when I tell lies in the future.

I just didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

"Wind?"

Governor Fehr, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly asked. He slowly read these two words, and then looked at Li Feng.
