Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Along with the issuance of the city lockdown order, the city lord also began to urgently recall the explosives and other items placed outside the city.

After the blockade was lifted, many foreigners who stayed in the city of Aslade, merchants who were going out to negotiate trade, adventurers, bards, etc.

In an instant, the previous panic-stricken and lifeless atmosphere in the city disappeared.

However, the explosives placed outside the city cannot be retrieved so easily.

The city lord learned the day before that the explosives were discovered by the giants and brought back to the giant settlement.

Freya asked him to prepare things outside the city as soon as possible two days ago. The city lord sent people outside the city yesterday to check the arrangements outside.

Upon closer inspection, all the items that had been arranged were gone.

Apart from the giant settlement, there was no other suspicious object outside the city, so the city lord naturally sent people to the giant settlement to get the things back immediately, or snatch them back if they couldn't get them back.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. When the giants saw that these shameless humans wanted to take the explosives back, a conflict broke out immediately.

Without absolute numerical advantage or weapons or magic, it is difficult for humans to defeat giants.

The people sent by the city lord returned with bruised faces and noses, and brought back Dilia's original words, "If the rulers of mankind are all so unreasonable and unprincipled, I don't think the giants are worried about paying the price of tearing up the Peace Treaty."

When the city lord and Freya heard this yesterday, their faces looked unhappy.

The Peace Treaty is recorded in human history books, but the details are not clear.

Most of them are rumors passed down by word of mouth among the people.

The most widely held belief among the people is that it was only after the signing of the Peace Treaty that humans truly began to live on this continent.

There is even a saying that whoever can obtain the Peace Treaty can replace it.

Naturally, the city lord was unwilling to bear the blame for the breaking of the Peace Treaty.

Freya didn't care whether the charge was true or not. She changed her expression simply because she didn't expect the giants to be so bold.

How dare you threaten humans?

Cecilia knew the situation here and just let the city lord solve it himself.

Of course, if she showed up, it would be easy to get the explosives back from the giants.

But she couldn't stay in Aslade City for her whole life, nor could she always be here to solve conflicts and problems for them.

The city lord had caused the trouble himself, so naturally he had to solve it himself.

Cecilia has more important things to do——

The Chamber of Commerce in the city has not yet released all the food in its inventory.

Even if the city lord unblocks the city gates, the prices of goods in the city will still remain high as before for a short period of time.

We can't let the people in the city starve.

For convenience, Cecilia also brought the city lord's secretary from the city lord's mansion when she left.

On the way to the Chamber of Commerce, when passing by the central square of the city, Cecilia heard someone singing in the square -

"Romantic Beautiful Love

They are not essential to life

Bread, milk and wine

It's hard to live without any of them.

Spice Jewelry Silk

Let them shine brightly..."

The sound of the banjo, accompanied by the hoarse voice of the bard, reached Cecilia's ears clearly.

There was a hat in front of the bard, but there weren't many gold coins in it.

There weren't many people around him.

People came and went in the central square, and even though they heard the bard's lyrics clearly, no one dared to give him a gold coin for his voice.

Cecilia stopped the carriage and walked up to the bard.

"...

If this world is destined to be dark

May the light of the sun goddess bring warmth

If this world is destined to be dirty

May the tears of the sun goddess wash away

if……"

A very clever bard, who combined facts with compliments to the church.

Cecilia placed several gold coins in the hat in front of him.

The bard did not stop singing, he just nodded slightly to Cecilia to express his gratitude.

Cecilia returned to the carriage. As they moved away from the central square, the bard's singing could no longer be heard clearly.

The mayor's secretary, who was riding in the same carriage with Cecilia, couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly get off the carriage to give money to that homeless man?"

Cecilia glanced at him and said, "He is not a homeless person. He is just a little dirty, but he also has a bright red heart."

The secretary did not expect this answer.

Bards are a rare profession after all, and the number of bards in a city can be counted on one hand.

Cecilia didn't say anything until they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce in Aslaide City.

After entering the Chamber of Commerce, there is the much-welcomed identity verification process.

It was only with this step that Cecilia realized that Freya had done a lot of things in recent days, and even the Chamber of Commerce's malicious price increases were instigated by her.

Cecilia couldn't understand what benefit would come to her by maliciously raising prices?

Is it possible that this money will eventually end up in her pocket?

After her identity was confirmed, Cecilia immediately asked them to lower the prices to their previous level.

Apart from anything else, Cecilia still has some basic knowledge of currency calculations.

The merchants made a lot of money these days, and the price offered by Cecilia did not make them lose much in the end. So, all in all, they were still making a profit.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Of course, Cecilia also knew that these merchants would still make a profit in the end, but if the price was pushed down further, it would obviously be detrimental to the future economy of Aslade City.

The market must develop healthily, otherwise the people of Aslade City will be the only ones who suffer in the end.

After resolving the price issue, Cecilia asked the city lord's people to go back.

Behind her followed the knights from Petra.

Cecilia had already discovered their presence.

She signaled to the nearby knights, and they quickly appeared in front of Cecilia, led by Joyce, asking if the princess was injured.

Cecilia smiled and was about to explain.

She heard a huge roar, and the ground beneath her feet even shook a little.

Cecilia heard tinnitus in her ears. After the tinnitus disappeared, she realized that something was wrong. She turned her head and saw thick smoke floating in the sky in the direction of the giant settlement outside the city.

Without time to think or explain, Cecilia asked the knight to take her out of the city immediately.

If it really is a giant settlement, then there must be a deep blood feud between the two tribes.

It is therefore reasonable for the entire giant race to launch an attack on humans.

Cecilia had not yet had time to start doing what she had promised Delia.

Delia has not yet seen the day when Cecilia's blueprint comes true.

And the knight she sent out to deliver the message is still in the giant tribe.

What about the knight?

He had left Petra with me in good health, and he had a family waiting for him to return.

Cecilia didn't dare to think any further.
