Vol 3 Chapter 1: Candidate

Vol 3 Chapter 1: Candidate

Inside Nexo Palace, inside the House of Nobles.

The rainstorm outside, the thunder roaring, the lightning dazzling, and the sight of doomsday, and the semi-circular hall has gathered all the members of the aristocratic house in Rentat, a white hair cover, and a large black coat.

If the lightning power of unnatural lightning is great, the strong men below the Golden Knights will not dare to fly quickly in the lightning and thundering weather. I am afraid there will be a rare sight of the entire staff in the Noble House. King Sri Lanka and Prince Patrick were called for an hour only.

Of course, those nobles who could not come also knew the course of the matter from their spokespersons and allies in Lentat through remote contact and conveyed their opinions.

At this moment, they are unprecedentedly grateful to the "Aringe Telephone and Telegraph Company". Although the "wired telephone" they promoted is at a loss due to the complex and heavy infrastructure construction, it is still limited to Rantat and several other counties. Between the capitals, the installed capacity is less than 500 gates, but in this weather, it is a rare channel for nobles who cannot arrange and use expensive teleportation arrays. Many nobles have tasted the sweetness and decided Assisted promotion.

"How could His Royal Highness be called by the Lord?" Count Haisong took a hot bath in the lounge of the Noble House, changed his clothes and hair sets, and then got rid of the state of shock and thought, while wearing white paper flowers On the chest, while sitting in the first row of seats, asked James the Duke of Paphos, Russell the Duke of Wolfsburg, and Viscount Harrison, who hurried after notifying the parliament.

四 The four of them are enlightened leaders except Prince Patrick. At this time, they must communicate well in advance, and they cannot be instigated. Otherwise, it is easy for them to lose their confidence.

The Duke of James also wore a white hair cover in the aristocratic house, covering his bald head, he said gloomily: "I don't know, it was already this when Russell and I rushed to Nexel Palace, we checked The body of His Royal Highness Prince did not find that the abnormal shape was indeed an excessive grief that caused the already weak body to collapse. I think that under the protection of His Excellency Ketonia, no one could assassinate him. "

"Heart of Time" Katonia is one of the two epic knights in Holm Kingdom, and no more than five of the world ’s knights can reach the legendary level III. He and Rudolph II belong to this rank. The epic knight of the legendary peak, except for the "monsters" such as Prince Dracula, Prince of the Abyss, and Lord of the First Floor of Hell, there is only one human being, a member of the Cardinals of the Templar Knights, St. Melmos.

I said it was under the protection of Ketonia, there would be no assassinations, but James could not see a certainty on his face.

"His Lord Ketonia is a hero in the Dawn War. He is an epic knight who defeated the magic empire in Holm with his predecessor. But he is very old and is about to reach the end of his life. Things that need to be considered and arranged will be More than ordinary people, "said Duke Russell, expressionlessly." He is not as quietly watching the situation as Lord Winston of the Solenveen family. "

暗 "Nightwalker" Winston is another epic knight in Holm Kingdom who currently rotates to guard the Holm Kingdom colony in several alien spaces.

Viscount Harrison sneered: "Anyway, I don't believe that His Royal Highness the Prince will die for His Majesty the King."

According to Harrison, Haisong and others, Patrick stayed in the prince's position for thirty or forty years, and it is inevitable that the king would have conflicts of rights. The relationship between the two parties has long been out of harmony, especially after their concepts have greatly differed. Tong Molu would like to say that Prince Patrick was too happy that his body collapsed, and some of them would believe it.

"Things have reached this point. We need to get rid of sorrow and do two things. One is to secretly ask the wizard of the magic council to investigate the truth of the prince's death. To master the initiative, the second is to start a backup plan and fully support David to take the throne. "Earl Haisong calmed down, and his blue eyes became sharp again.

Patrick has always been in poor health. The enlightened nobles had already prepared for his death before the king, so they were helpless after a brief period of fear.

David's father was a cousin of King Feltis, nephew and student of Archmage Morris. Although he had died in an adventure, under his influence, the great knight David was involved in daily life or territories. It is entirely enlightened, and in the eyes of the Duke James and others is the most suitable member of the royal family, and his blood relationship is very close. According to noble law, he belongs to the fourth heir.

"it is good.

"Duke James" focused his head, kept his mouth open and closed, and communicated the results of the discussion to other enlightened aristocrats.

After a while, the speaker of the aristocratic house in a large black coat and a white hair suit, "Lion of the King" Rex walked in, followed by a gentle, dark-haired man with silver eyes, silver grey eyes beside him. Tell everyone clearly that he is a member of the Hofenberg family.

"Gordon!" Count Haisong and other enlightened nobles stared.

The face of Duke James is as ugly as dripping water: "Isn't he claiming to serve the Lord for life, and has withdrawn from the Knights of the Sword of Truth, and went to the Holy City of Reims to join the Knights Templar?"

"An eighth-level sky knight who is less than fifty years old, a torn sword ..." Duke Russell and Viscount Harrison uttered solemnly to themselves.

The whole hall suddenly became loud. Other nobles, both enlightened and conservative, couldn't help talking about each other. This Gordon was a genius and alien of the Huffenberg family. He became a day knight at the age of 35. , Appointed by King Feltis as the deputy head of the Knights of the Sword of Truth, with high hopes, but he was a devout believer, went to the holy city of Reims at the age of 40 and joined the Knights Templar.

His kinship with King Fertius is much more distant than David, but the rank of the Sky Knight is enough to make his inheritance order soar, almost in the same order as David, and Huffin Although Berg is not a thriving person, most people either have a blood relationship and are not knights, and it is difficult to compete with the two, or they have already entered the path of magic and automatically gave up their qualifications.

The Duke of James and others initially thought that Rex would lean towards his nephew, and Alex, who had just inspired the blood of the sword of truth, would have no suspense for David, whether it was the strength of the knight or the distance of the blood relationship. Succession, who knew Gordon ran back.

声音 The sound of the mallet hitting in front of the room sounded crisply, and the hall of the Noble House suddenly calmed down.

Rex drew a cross on his chest and said sadly: "His great King Fertis and His Highness His Highness Patrick have been called by the Lord one hour before, let us mourn for them and bless them in heaven The mountain receives the favor of the Lord. "

James and others all stood up, while drawing the cross, while lowering their heads, the atmosphere was quiet and sad.

Five minutes later, Rex, the Speaker of the House of Lords, motioned for everyone to sit down, and his eyes hardened: "Because the Crown Prince No. 1 was succeeded, His Royal Highness Patrick was also called by the Lord, and no sons and daughters were left. The House elects a crown prince, and the criteria for the election are based on the inheritance order and can be blessed by the Lord. "

The so-called blessing of the Lord is that the Cardinal came to preside over the ceremony.

Rex did not let the nobles speak, but pointed to Gordon next to himself: "The Holm family was hit this way. It was exactly the storm, and Earl Gordon resolved to take the family as the priority and quit the saint. The Knights of the Temple, returned through the church's teleportation team. He is an eighth-level sky knight, a mature man, and a true bloodline of the sword of truth. I propose that he inherit the throne. Please raise your hands to vote. "

"Wait a minute." James stood up and said in a loud voice, "In this case, according to the Code, the consent of more than two-thirds of the lawmakers and the nine dukes have no objection. Is this the case, Speaker? "

Rex stared at James gloomily: "Yes, no, when no other candidate is able to get more than one-fifth of the votes, the remaining one does not need to meet this condition, and in an emergency, he gets half Those with the above votes can directly obtain the right of inheritance. I believe that this is an emergency and the throne cannot be left unused for a long time. "

"Is it an emergency, it's not you who decides, everyone needs a vote. Now I choose Count David, who has a closer relationship with Her Majesty the King, and according to the inheritance order, he is far ahead of Count Gordon. And he is a great knight who has inspired the bloodline power. "James did not speak on the stage, but looked directly at other nobles in situ." I don't think any member will oppose inheritance, right? Who did the demonstration first, then he When his son, his grandson inherits the title, can other higher-ranking candidates in the family also cite this example to **** the title? "

This is the basis for the aristocracy not to collapse. Which aristocrat does not want to leave the title to his immediate heirs? The strength can be grabbed, and the family has assassinated and struck each other long ago!

Of course, this is one of the reasons why they are attached to the church. An independent and strong church can guarantee that no one will rely on strength and ignore the law.

A conservative aristocrat stood up and saluted everyone with great grace: "Invoking Article 7, paragraph 6, of the inheritance section of the Code, the bloodline ability is the basis of the aristocratic status, and the powerful strength can be used as a reference for the inheritance order. I won't say more about the specific calculation method. After adding the strength of the Sky Knight, Earl Gordon and Earl David are in the same order. Therefore, the selection of Earl Gordon does not violate the Code and will not cause noble order. Crash."

而且 "And, Count David's father is a magician, and we have to consider whether he will be blessed by the Lord."

Speaking briefly, he completely disintegrated James's attack.

Count Haisong stood up holding a quill, and also saluted gracefully first, and then said: "Father is a magician, does not mean that his son is not a devout believer. Count David has never been absent from worship, and often donates to the church. Pious heart Everyone knows that I believe the Lord will be able to see and be tolerant. There are many repentant magicians in the night watchman team, isn't it? And Earl Gordon once entered the Knights Templar, and will stand in the future in handling matters. It is difficult for me to believe that he will take the interests of Holm's kingdom and everyone's interests as the most important thing. This is not a blasphemy against the Lord, but a confusion of divine power and royal power. "

At this time, he could not care about euphemism, starkly opposing divine power and royal power.

Gordon smiled after raising his hand: "Guessing is not evidence. I believe I will stand in the position of King Holm and look at the aristocracy, not the identity of the Templar."

An enlightened aristocrat and a conservative aristocracy stood up to express their opinions. Finally, Rex said: "Below, please vote, please raise your hand in favor of Count David."

Raised his arms thinly One third is full. Enlightened are less united than conservatives, but more united, which makes Rex frown, unable to use the first special clause Then, he said, "Please agree with Count Gordon's hand."

With one arm outstretched, and seeing more than half of it was not a problem, Rex began to think about how to pass the emergency discussion.

Suddenly, the lifting of the arm stopped and stopped almost halfway. Rex looked at the Duke of Solenveen, only to see that he shook his head, saying that he would not support a candidate with a too bright church color, but as a conservative A big leader of the faction, his statement directly affected a large part of the aristocracy.

Duke James laughed: "Speaker Rex, it seems we are going to have a long discussion and negotiation."

Under the hesitation of the Duke of Solenveen, he was sure to eliminate Gordon by mediation.

Rex was silent, looking at the gavel in his hand. Suddenly, he looked up: "I propose another candidate."

谁 "Who? Whose inheritance rank is higher than that of Earl David and Earl Gordon?" Duke Russell expressed opposition.

Rex said unhurriedly: "Natasha Waurit, Countess of Violet, inspired the blood of the sword of truth, and her kinship with Her Majesty the King and His Royal Highness surpassed that of Count David, and she is also a Knight of the Sky. , And also devout believers, can be blessed by the church. "
