As the conversation progressed, Ben and Lant talked about the Dragon Kingdom. Ben briefly introduced the incident that he heard about the deposed king 9 years ago. To be precise, the big families united and launched a palace coup. Overthrew the previous king.
The former king, Arnold Red Dragon, was the son of the former king and former prime minister of the kingdom, Beto Lanyuan. He ascended the throne after Arnold broke through the high ranks. However, not long after Beto's death, five local nobles proposed Beto. Tuo was once related to the case of Zokoda Red Dragon and asked Arnold Red Dragon to investigate and publish the facts of the case.
Arnold refused, so the five families used various reasons to link up with the magister families in the royal capital and local areas to launch a coup, forcing Arnold to abdicate and leave the palace to escape to the imperial capital.
Although this coup had a huge impact, the killings at the time were actually very small, because the three pillars of the Red Dragon, Feilong, and Blue Dragon families controlled the various forces in the royal capital, and chose to stand by and let each family go when they forced the palace. Power enters the palace, and other legends in the kingdom do not want to divide the kingdom.
In the final stalemate, the Imperial Prime Minister (demigod) appeared and presided over all the families to stop and convene a high-level and legendary meeting, finally confirming Arnold's resignation at the imperial level.
Then several big families argued with each other over whose family to choose the new king. In the end, the Northern Earl Bai Xiao family became a result acceptable to everyone, and Duson Bai Xiao, Earl of Bai Xiao, became the dragon king.
"Isn't the royal family of our Dragon Kingdom the Red Dragon family?" Lant really didn't know, after all, he was still a child at the time.
To be precise, even the Viscount family in the imperial capital rarely provided any guidance. At most, I heard that a meeting was held at that time, and the next day it was announced that the king was unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons. King Duson, who was not too tough, did not even ask the people from all over the country. The great nobles brought all their vassals to the royal capital for an audience.
"Yes, but not any demon possessor can inherit the position of king. The most basic requirement for inheritance is a high level or above," Ben explained.
In the world of magic, strength and bloodline jointly affect dynasty succession. According to the throne succession law, high-ranking male descendants have priority, followed by high-ranking female descendants, then by their high-ranking husbands, and finally by high-ranking female descendants of male descendants. Partners, if none of these people are suitable, must be chosen from the old king's side brothers according to rank and kinship.
At that time, the high-ranking descendants of the Red Dragon family were relatively rare. A coup occurred in 910. His Majesty Zokoda Red Dragon, who had just ascended the throne at that time, was assassinated by his younger brother Kaia Red Dragon. There are no high-level professionals left.
However, the old King Borya had so many daughters that all the earls and marquises in the kingdom were sons-in-law, nephews, and grandsons of the old king. The rank requirements of the great nobles in the kingdom were also high, so from the prime minister of the kingdom, All nobles can inherit the throne of king.
However, there are conditions for them to inherit the throne, that is, as long as they and the descendants of the Red Dragon family reach a high level, they must give up the throne to their descendants.
Therefore, in the end, the son-in-law of Borya Red Dragon and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Beto Lanyuan, inherited the throne. After he and Mia Red Dragon's eldest son, Arnold Red Dragon, reached the high level, Beto Lanyuan would give up the throne. To Arnold Red Dragon.
"It is also a long-standing tradition of the Red Dragon family to marry into a big family, to prevent the family from being unlucky enough that no one will take the throne."
Hey, big families are troublesome, but Lant feels that his family may not be so small in the future.
. . . . . . .
Lant and Ben Call talked freely in the middle of the night. Ben was knowledgeable and funny. He was very good at talking about history and theory. Although Lant liked to complain in his heart, he never acted like a lord. Let Ben Call say It's also very enjoyable.
It was so enjoyable that Lant's dreams at night were all about chaotic scenes such as goblins and red dragons. He originally planned to get up between 8 and 9 o'clock, but he was an hour late.
Today is the day that Lant has agreed to go to Dragon Tooth City. He must first go to the teleport gate yard of the Earl's Mansion, and from there to the teleport hall of Dragon Tooth City. Then he will visit Antreq of the Blue Dragon Family to get his own space props. Then he took his subordinates to settle in the royal capital and set up a chamber of commerce in the royal capital.
Before setting off, Lant went to see Neil again. After all, Neil would be returning to the Viscounty in a few days. Lant specially gave Neil all the magic gifts he bought yesterday afternoon and asked Neil to take them back for him. .
He also went to see Wendy and other girls, and asked with a smile if there was any result in their anxious departure to develop magic devices yesterday.
Unexpectedly, Wendy actually gave him a "bright stick" that was palm-long and could be held in one hand. This was actually one of the concentrated magic items that Lant brainstormed with Wendy yesterday. Unexpectedly, Wendy really Made.
Before noon, Lant took Mace, Canine, his carriage and guards to the outside of the Earl's Mansion.
It is said that this is an individual courtyard, but it actually covers an area larger than Lant's chamber of commerce outside the city. From the outside, it looks like a square stone building more than 40 meters high. However, after entering, I discovered that there are A huge pillar-less hall, the space of the hall extends from the ground to the roof. This hall is equipped with a huge magic portal with a height of about 30 meters.
The portal is like a rectangular door frame, 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. When the teleportation magic array on the ground is opened, the door frame gradually becomes dim and translucent.
This portal operates intensively from noon to afternoon every day. If you want to pass through the gate, you need to make a reservation for the location you want to go to the day before, and then go outside the courtyard gate to check the opening time of your destination the next morning.
Because there is only one door, a location can only be opened in both directions once a day. If you miss it, you can only come back another day.
Once the portal is activated, it becomes a crystal-swallowing beast. It requires more than 10 magic crystals to be opened. If it continues to operate, magic crystals will be consumed every minute.
Therefore, the space mage responsible for the magic array in the other courtyard will gather the destinations before operation, which can reduce the number of destination changes and reduce costs and maintenance requirements.
If it is a popular place such as Dragon Tooth City or the Imperial Capital, the cost of individual passage will be relatively low. Each person will need 5-10 gold coins to pass. The specific amount depends on the number of people transported that day. The price of horses is the same as that of people, and carriages and other goods are Charges are required based on weight.
If you are going to a relatively remote place, you can either wait for a dozen or so people to pass through together, or you can use krypton crystals and pay 8-10 magic crystals to open the portal once.
This time Rand went to Red Dragon City not just to go to school, but to be able to settle down in the imperial capital and conduct long-term business activities.
Lant, who had many tasks to do, paid a large fee for his men, black-scaled horses and carriages. Finally, after 12:30 noon, he was allowed to enter Dragon Tooth City within 15 minutes.
Passing through the portal is a very special experience. To the touch, it feels like entering a cold mist. However, along with the touch, there is also panic in the mind and even some discomfort in the soul.
According to the mage next to the portal, all kinds of reactions are normal, and more importantly, once you pass through the gate, you must run a few steps quickly so as not to delay the passage of people behind you.
After passing through the portal, Lant was affected the most severely among all the people. The moment he passed through the portal, Lant even felt that he saw two of himself, one was the fourth son of Baron Lant Galloping Horse, and the other was Lant Galloping Horse. One is He Chao, the two are so different yet identical.
Before he could react, Lant had already arrived at Blue Dragon City. He could only walk a few steps and panted next to his black-scaled horse. Before he could calm down, Lant vaguely heard the shouts of others.
That was the receptionist arranged by Antreqi. He had been waiting aside for a long time to guide them.
