The practice of black magic is faster than that of a magician.

The reason is very simple, as long as the person who practices black magic makes a deal with a black magician or the black magician himself, the other party will grant him extremely high magic power.

Although these people often look strong, they are actually just paper tigers that will deflate at the slightest provocation.

Just like the freezing spell she used on Freya just now, if Freya knew a little more about the magic system, she would not beg for mercy.

But the cost is so low.

Freya didn't even have to pay anything herself, she gained a large amount of magic in a very short time.

Although Lorian is one of the best magicians among the younger generation, he may not have the same magical power as Freya does now.

How unfair is this?

As early as the Magician's Conference, Cecilia discovered that the gap in human magicians on the continent of Swest was too serious.

At that time, before Cecilia had time to think, she was sent by Gallup to come to Bian to take back the reputation that belonged to the princess.

Freya will not appear again in the short term, so this is a good opportunity for Cecilia to quickly solve the problems within the city of Aslade.

Although Freya was taken away by Ellard, she brought guards from the city lord but was still in a stalemate with her knights downstairs.

Cecilia hurried downstairs.

The atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor was extremely tense.

The hotel owner was hiding in the corner behind the counter. When he saw Cecilia coming down the stairs, he looked panicked and tried his best to signal her to go back quickly.

Cecilia saw the boss's reminder and gave him a reassuring smile.

The knights and guards downstairs stopped what they were doing when they saw Cecilia.

Joyce breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Cecilia was fine. She looked at the other leader and said, "Your good day has come."

Along with Joyce's words, Cecilia gave a brief speech, "I am Cecilia, the princess of Anatolia. My father is the current emperor. Petra heard about the tragedy at the Fojin Mine Road and sent me here to comfort the victims and mediate the conflict between the two tribes. Now, please let me go to see your city lord first."

"How dare you! You fake princess! What have you done to our princess?"

Cecilia didn't know how Freya did it, but fortunately she had multiple proofs. "Here is the imperial edict. Please let me talk to your city lord."

The guards looked at each other, still skeptical of Cecilia's words. There were many things that symbolized the princess, but no matter which one was taken out now, these people would still not believe it.

Cecilia had a headache. Why was it so complicated to meet the city lord?

Finney appeared at the right moment, "I can vouch for her."

Everyone inside turned to look at Finnian at the door.

Just like the last time he came to rescue Cecilia, Finnian was still wearing the church's special clothes.

Behind Finnian was the godfather of the church.

The godfather first introduced Finnian's identity, "He is the son of the leader of the Petra Church. His identity is genuine."

The city lord's guards are all people who know the Aslade City Church, so what this man says is at least reliable.

Finnian walked into the crowd and introduced Cecilia who was still standing on the stairs. "I can also testify for this person. This is the real princess. She came here with me from Petra. When I arrived here, I had heard that there was a princess here. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I hid my identity for a while."

Distrust turned into suspicion, and Cecilia had to seize the opportunity to continue, "I know you are worried that I will harm your lord. I can go alone, but I just want to know whether the lord of Aslade is disloyal to the kingdom or has been deceived by the villain."

The guards in the hall discussed it all at once, and finally the leader agreed, "Okay."

The hotel owner had already poked his head out from behind the bar, looking somewhat incredulous.

How come these big shots have been staying in this little shop of theirs for so long?

When Cecilia left with the city lord's guards, Joyce still wanted to follow. Cecilia told him, "Go with Finnian and announce my identity to the public first. This matter cannot be kept secret here. Don't worry about my safety. Don't forget that there is a knight in the city lord's mansion."

That was when the group first arrived in Aslaide City and were sent to serve as guards at the city lord's mansion.

Cecilia did not find the knight among today's group of people.

Most likely he was assigned to work under the city lord's wife.

Joyce obviously thought of this, but even though he was still worried, there was nothing he could do.

Just now when Her Royal Highness the Princess was in danger, all of them were stopped below. If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess' good fortune, there would be no need for these knights to return to Petra.

In the end, Joyce followed, at least to make sure that Her Royal Highness the Princess entered the City Lord's Mansion safely.

In Aslade City these days, due to the city lockdown, there are not many people on the streets, and everyone feels that something is wrong with the atmosphere in the city.

The large number of people hoarding grain almost squeezed out all the grain and daily necessities previously purchased by merchants.

The merchants made a lot of money and even deliberately controlled the supply quantity to significantly increase the market price.

The city was locked down for only three days and the food stores were already sold out.

Cecilia saw all of this, but she had no idea how much truth there was in the sold-out sales.

Standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, many people requested that they be allowed to leave the city.

After all, the people of Aslade City still rely on the mines in the Buddha Gold Mine Road for their livelihood.

It is true that the giants work on mining, but the work of refining and processing is still done by humans.

The factories are all outside the city, and the city lockdown these days has meant that these people have lost their jobs.

Faced with the sudden surge in prices, these people must want to work outside the city in exchange for a salary to maintain their current life.

There weren't too many people at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were all being dismissed by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

Many guards were not polite to these civilians and kicked, beat, and scolded them all.

Cecilia stopped a guard from continuing to attack. "If I remember correctly, the laws of the kingdom don't seem to allow private guards to attack civilians at will, right?"

When the guard saw that it was a girl, he wanted to push Cecilia away and tell her not to meddle in other people's business, but he failed.

Many people have already looked at what is happening here.

The guard's face turned red, but he didn't let Cecilia move at all.

Cecilia removed the magic that made her stand still and looked at the residents nearby. "Don't worry about the lockdown. You will receive news of the lifting of the lockdown soon."
