Amid the chatter of gossip, rumors, and hearsay, the night was already deep. , looking at the ground and the table lying in various directions, the most powerful creature in the fortress appeared!
The dwarf aunt holding a broom in her hand chased away a group of fully armed dwarves and orcs in a hurry. There is no way, no one wants to let a broom stained with feces be swept over their face, otherwise their image will be wiped away.
When Lin and Fen saw the owner's fierce wife appear, they quickly threw the full amount of wine and dinner money on the table and ran away without waiting for her to yell at everyone. The former Demon King could still maintain his usual elegance, but someone really rolled and crawled out of the tavern.
Lin carried one of the two drunken girls, and Fen carried the other, and they walked on the same deserted street.
It's just that under the influence of alcohol, this street is not as weird as it was when I first arrived. Lin was just bathing in the moonlight, humming an unknown ditty.
"Lord Tripwood, I have something to ask you." Fen asked suddenly, sending a shiver down someone's spine. This lich never does anything good when he uses honorifics. But Lin could only laugh along and said, "Easy to say, easy to say, just ask."
"What's the matter with the ship-cutting sword?"
It should be a proud achievement, but at this moment it feels like dark history. Someone's eyes wandered guiltily and he said, "I don't know what that is."
"Oh." Fen raised the Kaya he was carrying in front of him, shook it, and asked the double-braided girl who struggled to hold up her eyelids: "Do you know about the ship-cutting knife?"
As soon as she touched her glasses and turned on the exclusive database function, Kaya moved a few times and transferred the design drawings of the ship-cutting knife to Fen's vision. As soon as the transfer was completed, the whole person hung up again. Like a hanged man, his limbs drooped weakly.
Looking at the drawings of the ship-cutting sword and various additional records, Fen still didn't understand what this weapon was about. But her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she didn't say a word, which made people even more frightened.
"You, you, you, you," Lin said while stretching out his trembling hands, "Don't look like you want to go back and tell those dwarves. Do you think I will be afraid?"
"If you're not afraid, don't shake your hands. I'm just curious about how those dwarves would react if they knew you were the one who made the ship-cutting sword."
"I'm warning you, don't mess around. Otherwise" "Otherwise what?" "Otherwise I will run away alone in the middle of the night. Don't think that a mere city wall can stop me."
"You ungrateful bitch always wants to run away. You can run to the ends of the earth. Believe it or not, three of your legs have been broken."
"Isn't it so rough!"
"I am a lich, from the chaotic evil camp."
Under the same night sky where the two were arguing, in the southwest peninsula, within the scope of the Leon District Branch of the Magicians Association, and in the palace of the Kingdom of Huelva, Juan Javier was gathering with his family and close friends, and they were having an argument. Family dinner.
King Hahn IV and his queen are sitting on the main throne. There are six princes in the left row and two princesses in the right row. Juan was sitting directly across from the long table, eating grapes without looking at all and drinking strong mead. Next to him was his teacher, Jose Carlos, with a helpless expression on his face, turning his head not to look at his student.
Juan Javier is able to sit here because of his mother, Queen Catherine, who is even more legendary than his great magician. Originally just the daughter of a knight lord, she married her lord, Viscount Javier, and had a child. That kid is Juan Javier.
Catherine met the young and energetic Hahn for the first time at a ceremony to celebrate the new king's accession to the throne, and she was also fascinated by the new king. The second time they met was at the funeral of Viscount Javier who passed away due to illness, when Juan was five years old.
The widow's beauty certainly had many admirers. The fact that the king would appear at the funeral of a viscount also attracted much attention and speculation. But there are still people who are not attracted to Catherine, and that is a branch of the Javier family.
What better opportunity to seize control of the family than to be left with an orphan and a widowed mother, so they hatched a plan to marry off the widow. The first choice is of course the still single and enterprising king. That one had enough power that the widow had to agree.
"As long as you ensure my son's inheritance and the royal family sends someone to take care of the territory, I will marry you."
Holding hands with her son who was not very sensible yet, Catherine did not play around and made her own conditions straightforwardly. In fact, according to the tradition of Midi, there are no requirements for women to be widowed or to be loyal. It is very common for a widow to marry three or four times, killing many of her husbands.
For Hahn IV, such conditions were just a piece of cake. But for the carefully calculated branch of the Javier family, they cried.
However, many nobles in the kingdom were not satisfied with this marriage with great disparity in status, not to mention that she was a widow who was not only older than the king, but also carried an oil bottle. However, he is a reckless and reckless king who cannot be easily persuaded by anyone.
In the next few years, princes and princesses were born one after another. Those nobles who were loyal to the royal family but had some complaints about the queen's background also remained silent. Compared with the identity of the queen, the successor is more important. But not too much!
It is the most ideal situation to have one heir, one or two alternate heirs, and several princesses who can be used for marriage. But having too many successors might not be a good thing. It is conceivable that in the future, the kingdom will continue to have disputes surrounding the fight for the throne.
Everything turned around in the twelfth year after Catherine was crowned queen. A close minister of Hahn IV betrayed, poisoned his own king, fled back to the fiefdom and raised the flag of rebellion. All the nobles have reduced their power and are waiting to see what happens. Some people contacted several older princes privately and waited for opportunities.
Of course, there are also nobles who directly approach the queen, with many hints in and out of words, hoping to take advantage of the royal family when the king is not sure whether he will wake up.
Queen Catherine declined all these requests and only said: "I have sent thousands of troops to put down this rebellion."
In fact, the royal guards directly under the king have strengthened their guard at the palace, and there is no sign of redundant deployment. Even the court magicians were stationed in the magic tower in the royal city and did not dare to leave without permission. But the rebellious marquis was still dealt with.
The youngest great magician in Leon District. That year, Juan Javier was seventeen years old and was only recognized by the Grand Magician of Leon District. Alone, without any regard for the rules among nobles, he slaughtered the rebellious marquis family.
Only then did the nobles realize that the heir of the Javier family, who had been sent to learn magic from the late king's friend, the great magician Jose Carlos, had already achieved such high achievements.
Although he does not have the blood of a king, he is of the blood of a queen and has the nickname Prince of Elements. The word "prince" refers to his identity that is unlikely to be recognized. It can also be regarded as the magician's bad taste towards the nobles.
The royal family that welcomed Juan back passed the most dangerous moment. Hahn IV woke up.
Many nobles privately expressed their dissatisfaction with Viscount Javier, who had become a great magician, for not abiding by the rules of the game among nobles. But Viscount Javier still became Marquis Javier. The extinct marquis family, including its territory and property, became the possession of the great magician.
In the same year, King Harn IV made his eldest son with Queen Catherine the Dauphin. Some conservative veterans saw the chaos when the king fell, and were certainly optimistic about the emergence of the crown prince. But this is not the case for all nobles, including other older princes who are surrounded by a group of villains.
However, during the canonization ceremony, Juan Javier made a surprising statement. Just as his declaration of not accepting disciples caused an uproar in the magical world, he also made terrifying statements in the aristocratic world.
"My brothers, support the crown prince appointed by the old man, and don't have any undue thoughts. Because if you dare to overturn the table and fight for the throne, I will take action. Obviously, none of you can compete with me. So don't Give me an excuse.”
Juan lived with King Jaen IV for a while when he was young. Although Hahn intended to treat him as his own child, he could never say the word father. Without his father, he only called the king "old man", even though he was young and strong.
"Why do you inherit the throne!" The ten-year-old second son asked the eldest brother who was only half blood dissatisfied.
Juan Javier just laughed wildly. In the laughter, his brown hair turned into flames and mist evaporated from his body. He said: "As long as you are all dead, I will be the only one left to inherit the throne, right?"
"Nonsense!" Queen Catherine scolded her children amid the threat that frightened everyone. She rarely spoke in front of people, so she just said coldly: "You have to kill everyone in the line of succession to be qualified for the coronation."
Then the nobles almost collapsed, including the branches of the royal family. Shouldn't the Queen put a stop to this ignorant young man? Why is she still adding fuel to the fire? What’s even more frustrating is that the person who made such a declaration can actually do it.
But Hahn IV only focused on one key point, which was to prepare for the worst, which would only happen if the crown prince was gone. As long as the premise does not exist, nothing will happen.
There were also dissatisfied nobles who conspired to support the second prince's succession to the throne. Juan Javier, however, took the airship Gaosbotong, the most powerful war weapon of the Leon District Chapter, to the sky above the noble's fiefdom castle and stayed for a considerable period of time.
During this period, all kinds of weird, valuable and worthless things in the castle were used as gifts and sent to the airship. After almost all his apparent wealth, the nobleman had to send away a shipload of plague gods.
From that moment on, the crown prince's position was completely stable. Whether it was his younger brothers or the nobles in the kingdom, they had all forgotten that there was such a thing as fighting for the throne.
Under the leadership of King Hahn IV who matured and became increasingly sophisticated, the Kingdom of Velva ushered in a wave of prosperity.
However, Juan Javier, who regarded himself as a magician and almost forgot his noble status, rarely interfered in the affairs of the kingdom and its fiefs. To this day, he wants to build a college, but he understands that this is not something he can do alone. So it depends on who is better to help you, your cheap dad or your teacher. 11
