The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 434 The previous generation of magic emperors
In addition to the three captains who were on missions outside, the remaining six captains of the Magic Knights all appeared. They were undoubtedly the most powerful reinforcements.

But that wasn't enough for Conrad to abandon his plan.

Although there are only four people on his side, each of them is the strongest magic knight of his time.

In addition, the God Sword has been sending a steady stream of magic power to them, so they can calmly suppress even six captains.

But the worst thing is that Ciel and Stella joined.Conrad had to admit that although these two people were still very young, they already had the same strength as or even better than himself.

As if two heavy weights were placed on one end of the scale, the battle has irreversibly shifted to the side that is unfavorable to oneself.

The silver-haired man waved his arm, and the crystal-like barrier was shaped into various weapons and shot out, forcing back several group leaders in front of him.

Retreating to Conrad, the silver-haired man said: "Conrad, the situation is not good now! If we continue, we will suffer a loss, so we should retreat first!"

The old man also used an ice shield to block the joint attack of Fagrain and Nosel, and said: "Although this operation failed, we still have a chance!"

Conrad gritted his teeth, took one last look at Ciel, and said, "Yes, we still have a chance!

As long as we can fight this will never end, not giving up is my magic! "

Charles's eyes fluctuated, why did this line sound so familiar!But looking at Conrad flying into the air, Ciel had no intention of pursuing him.

To be honest, Charles took action just now because Conrad and the others involved too many innocent spectators.

Ciel still had no idea what had happened.

Ciel could feel that Conrad, who said the same lines as Asta, might be as strong-willed as Asta.

But Ciel, a man with such a strong will, could not fight him without knowing anything.

Taking the reluctant military-uniformed lady with them, the four of them used space magic to leave the arena.

The barrier covering the arena and the magic circle that extracted magic power were also lifted at the same time, and the sun once again fell on the half-demolished arena.

"Charles, you are finally back!"

Asta and Yuno came to Ciel and greeted him warmly, and everyone from Black Bull also gathered together.

Ciel introduced Stella and them to each other.Because Stella helped in the battle just now, she won everyone's favor from the beginning, and naturally they got along very harmoniously.

At this time, Yami came over with a cigarette in his mouth, slapped Ciel on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you this time, you are indeed my favorite member of the group."

Then he looked at Stella and said, "You have good taste! But it's so unlucky to encounter this kind of thing just after you brought your little girlfriend back!"
There will be a battle meeting next, so come along too! "

Ciel nodded and followed Yami to the Knights headquarters.

Conrad's reappearance obviously aroused the highest level of alert of the Magic Knights, and Ciel could feel that the air in the headquarters seemed to have become oppressive.

In the conference room, the person sitting at the head of the table was naturally the Magic Emperor Julius, and below him were the leaders of each group.

It's just that three team leaders were absent due to work, and only Golden Dawn was represented by the deputy leader You Nuo.

Then there is Ciel who is following behind Yami.

However, as the hero of this emergency, Ciel showed his ability to fight Conrad head-on, and no one who attended this meeting could say anything.

Julius crossed his arms and said seriously: "Everyone, our Clover Kingdom is facing the crisis of collapse. Today's incident is just the prologue. The enemy will not give up action. So we must respond immediately! "

At this moment, Yuno suddenly raised his hand and said: "Magic Emperor, who is the attacker?"

Not only Yuno, but also young people like Lear have the same problem.The older group leaders showed serious and embarrassed expressions.

After all, they worked together to seal Conrad ten years ago, and that was definitely not something that could be easily revealed.

Julius said quite frankly: "Yes, you young people don't know each other yet.

His name is Conrad Leto, and he is my predecessor, the No. 20 seventh-generation magic emperor of the Clover Kingdom. "

Lear subconsciously said: "The previous Magic Emperor, wasn't he ten years ago...?"

Julius sighed and said: "Yes, it was announced that Conrad died of illness ten years ago, but in fact he was sealed by me personally... because he tried to destroy the entire kingdom."

Ciel understands this approach very well. The Magic Emperor, who is supposed to be the patron saint of the kingdom and is respected and trusted by everyone, intends to destroy the kingdom. This news itself will cause turmoil and even destruction.

Julius continued: "The three people who acted with Conrad were the three former Magic Emperors. However, the three of them were deprived of their status as Magic Emperors just like Conrad.

Konrad used the magic they once stored in the Imperial Sword and his own magic to resurrect them, and now they are enemies we must defeat. "

Ciel did not admire the Magic Emperor as much as Yuno did, so he asked a more critical question.

"So how did the previous generation of magic emperors destroy the kingdom?"

Julius said: "Just use the Emperor Sword in his hand. The Emperor Sword stores the magic power and magic of the past magic emperors, plus the various magics accumulated in Conrad's hands, it is unimaginably powerful.

Conrad did not hesitate to waste his own life to combine various magics in the Imperial Sword into an unprecedentedly powerful magic.

As long as the Imperial Sword is inserted into the singularity formed by the intersection of the flowing earth veins of Mana, it will trigger a continent-wide explosion of magic power, and everything will be destroyed by then.

He started doing such crazy things ten years ago, but he was stopped at the last moment by me and the outstanding magic knights at the time.

This time, because I was killed once, the seal was released.But we must stop him this time just like we did ten years ago! "

Everyone stood up together, put their right hands across their hearts and said, "Yes!"

At this moment, Charles suddenly said: "Magic Emperor, I have a request. I want to take a look at the records of the previous generations of Magic Emperors. I am talking about the true records that have not been forged." Standing there Marquez, who was behind Julius, said: "You have crossed the line. That's not what you can do...!"

Julius raised his hand to stop Marquez from continuing, looked at Charles and said, "Okay, I allow it. If you don't know the truth, Charles, you can't fight with all your strength!"

It has to be said that Julius in the Magic Emperor state does have a convincing mind.

Charles also stood up, bowed, and then left with the indignant Marquez.

Marquez said nothing along the way and just brought Charles to the archives room.

Without stopping in the archives, Marquez activated a magic spell on the side.The position where the two people were standing unexpectedly fell down, and they soon entered another space.

This was obviously the place where documents that could not be disclosed were stored. Charles could see a large number of documents placed on the shelves through the dim light around them.

"Sure enough, the truth is hidden in the darkness!" Charles sighed.

Marquez still remained silent, picked out four documents from a shelf and placed them on the table aside.

When Charles reached for the document, Marquez suddenly reached out and pressed it on it, saying coldly: "This is the record you want to see. Although I don't know why the Magic Emperor allowed you to see these secrets, please keep everything." Here, don’t take anything outside.”

Charles waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules!"

After saying that, Charles took out a document from Marquez's hand and read it.

The content of the file was not much, and Ciel quickly read through the records about the four magic emperors.

Conrad, No. 20, the seventh-generation magic emperor, was born into a noble family.By discovering the potential of key magic, he gained the trust of the Magic Knights and the people, and eventually became the Magic Emperor.

However, the contradiction between him and the royal family and the nobles became more and more serious. In the end, the royal family and the nobles set a trap for him, causing dozens of his subordinates and wives to die in battle.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Conrad would have such extreme ideas.

The other three magic emperors had surprisingly similar experiences to his, so they assisted him.

Sister in Military Uniform is Prince Princia, the eleventh generation magic emperor. As the eldest daughter of a minor noble, she joined the Magic Knights in order to protect her territory and people from being invaded by unscrupulous nobles.

She went through countless battles and was undefeated, so she ascended the throne of the Magic Emperor.

Later, during the war with the Diamond Kingdom, her hometown was taken hostage by the enemy.The royal family concealed the news in order to prevent Princia from leaving the front line.In the end, Princia lost all her family and people.

After the war, Princia fell out with the royal family who planned all this, and was eventually exiled to a small village with her magic sealed.

Ironically, Princia, who had never been defeated in her life, died in the battle with the bandits who invaded the village because her magic power was sealed.

The silver-haired young man is the No. 16 Magic Emperor Jester. His era was also the time when the war between various countries was at its most intense.

Although Jester is a noble, he still becomes friends with the common people on the border and the magicians of the enemy country.

But his civilian friend died in the war because the royal family refused to rescue him, while the enemy country friend used the civilian friend's hometown as a trap to assassinate Jester.

Jester, who killed his best friend with his own hands, thought of a way to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, and that was to conquer all four kingdoms.

Because of this idea, he was called the "Mad King."But even so, he won a lot of support.

However, the First Emperor is not something that just anyone can do, especially since Jester is only the Magic Emperor and not the "King" of this country.

So the royal family and nobles, who were afraid of Jester's growing influence, jumped out to cause trouble again and stabbed Jester directly in the back, causing him to die in the war.

The elderly gentleman is Edward, the [-]th generation magic emperor. He volunteered to become a priest and saw the church and the orphans he adopted being devoured by the flames of war.

In order to prevent another tragedy from happening again, Edward became a Magic Knight and gradually became the Magic Emperor.

After becoming the Magic Emperor, Edward actively pursued the policy of eradicating the barriers between the royal realm, the flat realm, and the outside world.

As you can imagine, the dissatisfied royal family and nobles plotted against him and took away his status as the Magic Emperor.

Edward, who saw the darkness and decadence of the royal family, organized a rebellion, but was eventually suppressed and executed.

Ciel put down the document and sighed.

Although most of the magic emperors were born in noble families, those who can stand in that position under the merit system are definitely not on the same path as the royal family and nobles in terms of structure and will.

Therefore, the Magic Emperor and the royal family have always cooperated and fought against each other.

The four generations of magic emperors, including Conrad, were nothing but victims of the struggle.

Although the Magic Emperor is the leader of all military forces in the kingdom, because the royal nobles are born with powerful magic power that far exceeds that of ordinary people, their power is no worse than that of the Magic Knights.

After all, a large number of members and even the leader of the Magic Knights are members of the royal family and nobility.

Even if the current Magic Emperor Julius has won a lot of popularity and His Majesty the King is so incomprehensible, Julius cannot change the country as he imagined.

It would be better to say that Julius' ability to create the current environment is already amazing.

Ciel couldn't help but worry about the future Asta, and he would inevitably have to face this dilemma.

But after knowing this, Ciel could finally understand why Conrad did this.But that doesn't mean that Charles agrees with their approach.

There is no doubt that they went the wrong way!Even if their mistakes don't continue, Ciel will fight them with all his strength.
