What Werther did not expect was that the people fell into fear of the dark shadow at night.
"Lord, help us get rid of the shadow."
"Your Highness, we don't want to be scared by black shadows at night anymore."
"That dark shadow might do something to harm us."
Werther frowned nervously and replied loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. As far as I know, that black shadow will not hurt anyone."
"The lord said he won't hurt people, so he won't hurt people?" said a villager.
"Just in case, His Majesty the Lord, it is better to drive this black shadow out."
"Whether our sheep were swapped or not, it was all caused by that dark shadow," said the young couple.
Seeing that he could not make the villagers believe in him, Witte had no choice but to say: "I don't want to believe that the shadow is a bad person. I will prove it to everyone and at the same time I will protect everyone's safety."
After finally appeasing the people's emotions, Werther and others returned to the castle.
"How could this happen?" Wile scratched his head angrily, "Why don't they believe His Highness, but that strange man."
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Ivan said calmly, "The dark figure that often appears at night is the person who will help the lord. The man wearing the straw hat is the person sent by the lord's enemy. His purpose is to...
The lord personally eradicates the shadows for the sake of his people. By eradicating the shadows, the lord will lose an important helper."
"Although we don't know who Black Shadow is, we have all seen how he helped His Highness." Wile showed a wronged expression, "Your Highness cannot betray Black Shadow."
"Of course I won't betray him, he is my benefactor after all." Werther took a deep breath, "It's just how to make the people believe my words."
"Perhaps, after a long time, everyone will see that the black shadow will not attack people, so they will naturally not be afraid." Wile put his finger next to the corner of his mouth and looked up, as if thinking about this problem.
"However, since someone framed the black shadow today, someone will frame him in the future." Werther said with a serious expression, "Duke Dark will always send people to look for trouble."
"Isn't there no solution?" Wile seemed more anxious than Werther, spinning around on the ground.
"How can there be no solution?" Werther rolled his eyes at him, "We haven't taken action yet. As long as we don't sit back and wait for death, that's all."
"Then what is Your Highness planning to do next?" Ivan asked.
"Perhaps, we can create some scenes to make the people think that Black Shadow is a good person." Witte said with a smile, "How about this method?"
"It's possible, but what do you plan to do?" Ivan continued to ask.
Wile stopped walking in circles, stopped and looked at Werther seriously.
"We can let Lina pretend to be the shadow and let her do some things that are beneficial to the people and change the people's bad impression of the shadow." Vittor said proudly, "I just don't know that it's not convenient for Lina to help.
.”
At this time, Linna passed by and looked at Werther with cold eyes.
He felt a chill behind him, and noticed Wile and Ivan winking at him, so he hurriedly turned his head and met Lina's increasingly angry eyes.
"Lina, what's wrong with you?" Werther was so frightened that he collapsed from his chair to the ground. This was the first time he saw Linna's expression like this.
"You just said that the people of Daybreak Town are afraid of the black shadow?" Linna looked extremely angry.
"So you are angry because of this matter." Werther breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, "I replied in kind."
Because you are angry because I just told you to pretend to be a shadow."
Lina's eyes suddenly lit up, and she bent her arms in front of her, looking full of fighting spirit: "Of course I have to complete this task and save Black Shadow's reputation."
Seeing that she was so concerned about the black shadow, Werther couldn't help but feel strange, so he looked at her doubtfully.
"Huh?" Lina touched her face a little embarrassed, "Is there anything strange about me today?"
"No, I'm just curious, why do you care so much about the Shadow Knight?" Witte expressed his doubts, "You don't know him."
Lina suddenly froze, her face turned slightly red, she lowered her head slightly, as if she wanted to hide something, and whispered: "It's nothing, I just heard that the Black Shadow Knight is a good person, and I don't want good people to be misunderstood."
"I don't want good people to be misunderstood..." Werther still didn't understand what Lina was feeling.
He suddenly noticed Lina's red cheeks and exclaimed: "Ah, you don't like that Black Shadow Knight!"
Linna's face suddenly changed, she looked a little sullen, and shouted loudly: "No, you know the person I like is..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped in time, turned around shyly, and whispered: "I'll go to bed first and help the Black Shadow Knight restore his reputation at night."
Werther still didn't understand why Lina was so nervous when she mentioned the Shadow Knight just now. If she wasn't nervous because she liked him, could she be hiding some secret?
Could it be that she knows the Shadow Knight, or is she the Shadow Knight himself?
Thinking of this, Witte suddenly chased after her, took her hand, and asked eagerly: "Are you the Shadow Knight?"
Lina turned her head in surprise and looked at him, her eyes like bottomless lakes with ripples. Werther could only see imperceptible emotions in her eyes, but could not see clearly what she was feeling.
What to think.
"Witt, are you crazy? How could I be the Shadow Knight?" Lina blinked, "I have so many tasks every day, whether it's the tasks you give me or the tasks in the castle.
I am too busy to do anything, how could I have time to do the things that the Black Shadow Knight does?"
"That's true." Wit let go of her wrist, sighed, and said, "It would be great if I knew who the Black Shadow Knight is. Who is willing to help me anonymously?"
"No matter who it is, I don't have time to chat with you anymore." Linna closed her eyes gently, "I have to catch up on my sleep, otherwise I won't be able to help you complete your task at night."
After saying that, Lina went back.
The day passed without any incident.
As night fell, Lina packed up and got ready to go.
Witte, who had just had dinner, asked: "What are you going to do? How are you going to convince the people that the Black Shadow Knight is a good person?"
Linna tilted her head and thought for a while: "Go and help them plant crops."
"Uh..." Werther almost fell down, "Although this method is a bit stupid, it is also a good one."
"Then I'm leaving now."
"waiting for your good news."
Before Linna could go out, there was a knock on the castle door, and at the same time a familiar voice came: "Your Highness, open the door quickly, there is an emergency."
Tom opened the door immediately.
The blond man rushed in, it was Knight Commander Ain.
Ain didn't have time to salute, so he ran directly to Witte and said anxiously: "Your Highness, it's bad, the jeweler said that a dark shadow stole his jewelry. He is bringing people to the castle to cause trouble. I will come in advance when I know
inform you."
"What jeweler?" Werther was surprised, "Is he the one who falsely accused Black Shadow again?"
Ain said: "It seems that he is a jeweler from Dark City and lives at a relative's house in Daybreak Town. A black shadow just passed by the window and stole the package he put on the window sill."
"Since it is an important piece of jewelry, why not put it away and hide it in the cabinet under the bed?" Wile put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Obviously it was Duke Dark's people who framed the Shadow Knight again, just like in the morning
.”
"Again, framed by the Shadow Knight?" Ain asked doubtfully, "Are you talking about the shadow who helped His Highness? What's going on?"
"Come here and I'll tell you what happened this morning. I'm so angry." Wile pulled Ain aside and started talking.
Witte was panicked at this time. He originally planned to help the Shadow Knight restore his reputation, but now, Duke Dark sent someone to frame his reputation first.
"Then what should we do?" Lina asked, "Do I still need to help the villagers plant crops now?"
"Of course you want to go." Witte said, "You want them to see a shadow knight who is good to the people, and let the people believe that the bad shadow knight was made up by someone with ulterior motives. But you have to be careful.
Don't let anyone notice you at the castle."
Lina nodded, covered her face, put on a black cloak, and flew out.
Looking at Lina's figure, Werther thought in a trance that he had seen the real Shadow Knight.
"Is she really not the Shadow Knight?" he murmured to himself.
After a while, several people broke into the castle.
"Who are you? You can't break into the castle rashly." Tom blocked them angrily.
"Old guy, get out of here!" The man in front pushed Tom away, but luckily Ivan was there to hold him up.
Ivan supported Tom and said angrily to them: "It's too much to treat an old man like this!"
"He is the eldest prince's steward, so I can treat him like this." The man said fiercely, "The eldest prince is not a good person, and his steward is not a good person either. And you, who don't know who you are,
He must not be a good person."
Werther heard their voices and hurried over. When he saw those people, it was obvious that they were the people who had the jewelry stolen by Ain.
The man at the front was wearing clothes woven with gold threads, and his shoes were inlaid with gems.
"Are you the eldest prince?" he said arrogantly.
"Who are you?" Werther narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
"I am a jeweler who came from Duck City to visit my relatives. My jewels were stolen by a dark shadow. Now everyone around me knows about it." He said, "And my jewels are in your town.
It was stolen, so I had no choice but to come find you."
Werther took a deep breath and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Everyone around here knows about it."
"Just knowing is not enough. Have they seen the shadow with their own eyes?"
"This..." The man's eyes began to wander, "They all said they saw it."
"Really?" Werther looked at the other party calmly, his tone was very sharp.
"Probably..." It was obvious that the man started to feel guilty, "But no matter what, my jewelry was indeed lost in Daybreak Town, and it was indeed stolen by a black shadow."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I have heard before that mysterious black figures often appear in your Dawn Town. I think it is that black figure who stole my jewelry. I hope you catch him, otherwise I will tell more people about your cover-up of the thief."
