Looking Forward to Another World

The heir to the throne will be decided within a week.

This is a very urgent matter.

The king of a country actually has to be decided within a week of the official selection being announced. This is a bit too hasty no matter how you look at it.

But there is no way. The Kingdom of Jinas now urgently needs a king to stabilize the situation. If the throne is vacant for a long time, not to mention the domestic turmoil and power changes will continue, and ambitious foreign countries will also take the opportunity to invade. The Kingdom of Nath could be destroyed.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to elect a king in the short term.

So, during this week, the candidates for the throne who had the right to inherit the throne began to go berserk.

In order to attract as many supporters as possible and get as many votes as possible, each of the candidates for the throne did more or less everything.

Some used coercion in order to gain the support of voting nobles.

Some used inducements to gain support from voting nobles.

Others used coercion and inducement, and some even started to parade in the streets every day in order to gain the support of the common people, change public opinion, and change their impression in the minds of the nobles.

Under such circumstances, the royal capital became extremely lively, and the princes who were rarely seen in the past showed up without hesitation, showing their people-friendly side as much as possible.

This made Li Ge a little dumbfounded.

"...It's not like the parliamentary election in the previous life. What on earth are these royal children doing?"

Li Ge felt speechless even though he knew that he had no chance of getting the throne and still struggled like this.

"In the final analysis, the nobles who have the right to vote now are basically either the royal faction or the ducal faction. The royal faction, under the support of Redson Ellieman, tends to choose one from the eldest prince and the seventh prince to support If you want to rise to the top, shouldn't you try your best to convince the old sword master and make the people from the royal family look at you with admiration?"

This is the move most likely to change your destiny, isn't it?

It is a pity that there is not even one royal child who can see this clearly. This makes Li Ge feel speechless and at the same time, he also begins to understand why Yuli said in the past that almost no royal child of this generation is particularly outstanding.

Compared with these fools who can't see the situation clearly, Saint Nidol is indeed much better. It's no wonder that he has received the support of so many people and created the Duke Faction.

Of course, some of these fools who couldn't see the situation clearly chose the stupidest way to get to the top.

That is to send people to kill the people who are most likely to succeed in the election.

For example, Saint-Nidore, Kuhart, and Boel were assassinated several times or several times during this week.

This made the atmosphere in the already somewhat turbulent capital even more tense.

However, in terms of strength and power, these three people are far superior to the other contenders for the throne.

Needless to say, St. Nidor is also protected by Sword Master Dihart. Not to mention ordinary assassins, even the most proud assassination force "Shadow" in the kingdom has to be defeated. Now "Shadow" Already nearly completely wiped out due to Rohm's fall and Sorok's control, unless those candidates can dispatch sword master-level existences, it is impossible to threaten St. Nidor.

As the subjects of the royal family's full support, Kuhart and Boel were also equipped with a powerful escort group. As the leader of the Kingdom's Knights, Frohn also had a duty to do so. In this matter, he sent out separate missions for the two princes. Two knight detachments, the second knight detachment and the third knight detachment, carry out escorts, so that there are at least several senior swordsmen around the two of them 24 hours a day. Even if they face a sword master, they cannot defeat it. , it can also delay time and allow the two princes to escape.

Coupled with the arrangement of the duke faction and the royal faction, the personal safety of the three people can be said to be impregnable. Unless someone like Li Ge personally attacks, it is impossible for anything to happen to those three people.

Therefore, this week was also a very sensational week, because those candidates who dared to send assassins were found one after another by the royal family and the duke's group, and were executed in public, killing chickens to scare monkeys, which shocked many people.

This can be regarded as the last madness before the heir to the throne is chosen.

Under such a situation, Li Ge was inevitably involved in some troubles.

It's not like someone did something irrational just to get the votes in his hands.

As a person who is now recognized as someone who cannot be offended in the aristocratic circles of the kingdom, no matter how stupid those candidates are, they know that they cannot use this method to deal with Li Ge. Otherwise, even if they sit on the throne and become the king, with Li Ge's energy , there are also ways to make them walk around without eating.

But the hard one can't come, so these people naturally want the soft one.

As a result, the threshold of Franzel's house was trampled down again.

"As long as Lord Brighaut is willing to stand up and support me, I can promise that after becoming the king, I will immediately make you a marquis and give you the largest territory in the kingdom!"

"I have two trading houses under my name, each with liquid assets of no less than one million gold coins. As long as you are willing to support me in my promotion, these two trading houses will be yours!"

"My sister is one of the most beautiful princesses in the royal family of this generation. I have convinced her that as long as you are willing to assist me, she is willing to marry you, even if she is a concubine, she will have no regrets!"

"I once obtained a powerful secret treasure from an ancient ruins. I have always regarded it as a treasure and do not want anyone to touch it. If you are willing to help me, that secret treasure will be yours!"

These are the various promises and benefits given by those people after they come to the door.

Lige was unwilling to see them, but with the king to be elected in a week, these people were obviously anxious, looking like scoundrels who would sit and die outside the gate of Franzel's mansion if Lige didn't come out. It really annoyed Li Ge.

In the end, even the eldest prince Kuhart and the seventh prince Boel came to ask for a meeting with Li Ge, and had one or two talks with Li Ge.

"Actually, I don't want to be this king. I'm very satisfied with my current life. However, the royal family definitely doesn't want to see the throne fall into the hands of the dukes. I can only compete once."

Kuhart behaved very openly, without any threats or inducements. He simply explained his thoughts and told Li Ge that no matter who the king would be in the future, he hoped that Li Ge could become the pillar of the kingdom in the future. The entire country can be protected from the dangers caused by war.

This is a good prince who has no desire for power, but still hopes that the kingdom will always be safe and peaceful, and that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

This was also the most impressive candidate that Li Ge had seen so far, which gave him some thoughts of supporting Kuchart.

"...I have been disliked by my father since I was a child. Even if I show my talent in magic, my father is not willing to look at me again. Although he is dead now, I still hope to inherit his position and pay tribute to him. prove yourself."

Boel was very taciturn and nervous at first, but later he stammered and expressed his thoughts and wishes.

Frankly speaking, the seventh prince was not a bad person, but his starting point really made Li Ge find it difficult to explain.

After all, his only motivation for wanting to be king is to prove himself to others and tell others that he is not a weak person, and there is nothing else.

He has no lofty ambitions, no greater ideals, and does not even know what he will face after sitting on the throne, and what changes he can bring to this country. To be honest, in Lige's view, such a person is really not as good as Kulhart is better suited to be king.

Li Ge didn't want to have the same idea as Hemulinpu, and he didn't think Boel's cowardice was such a hateful thing, but Boel's idea was really naive and far less impressive than Kuhart's. .

If things continued like this, Li Ge felt that he would choose to vote for Coulhart casually.

Although Li Ge doesn't care who the king of this country is, he is still a person who hangs out in the Kingdom of Jinas. Yuli is also a noble of this country. If possible, of course he wants to make someone more pleasing to the eye. man sits on the throne.

At the very least, it would be enough if the other party didn't cause trouble for himself and the Franzel family like Hemulin Pu did from time to time.

Such thoughts existed until the day when Saint Nidol officially came to visit.

…………

This was two days before the final selection for the throne.

It has been four days since the banquet hosted by Letais' family, and Li Ge and Yuli also sent off the last lobbyist sent by the royal family today.

On this day, Saint Nidol came to visit without any warning.

"I should have paid you a visit long ago, Lord Brighaut."

In the reception room of Franzel's residence, Saint Nidol, dressed in fine clothes, sat opposite Rige and Yuli, and said these words to Rige.

Behind him, Dihart stood upright, like a loyal guard.

On the other hand, on Li Ge's side, except for Marilyn making tea nearby, no one from Liz and others was present.

There was nothing I could do, I was really bothered by people these days, and Li Ge didn't want to take Liz and the others to deal with those irrelevant people every time, so starting from the middle, Li Ge stopped letting them follow.

Lilith expressed strong opposition to this, and Liz also weakly stated that since she was Rige's attendant, she should be there to protect Rige. However, Rige still felt that when facing those insignificant people, he always brought him with him. It's really unnecessary for Liz and the others to appear together.

He didn't even remember the names of the royal family's children, but he brought the power of the three great sword masters with him every time. As a result, when people saw the pomp here, they were speechless.

It can be seen that for those royal children with low status, the sword master is still very intimidating, let alone multiple sword masters appearing together.

"They are not qualified to enjoy such treatment, right?"

After Li Ge said this, Liz and the others reluctantly accepted this statement. Only Lilith was a little reluctant and strongly expressed that she didn't need to show up, so she used invisibility magic to hide beside Li Ge and protect her.

Unable to win over the loyal Lilith, Li Ge had no choice but to accept the other party's proposal and let the female demon hide around him with invisibility magic to protect him at all times.

Lilith's invisibility magic is undoubtedly used very well, and no one has ever found her traces so far.

Now, Lilith is also waiting by the side, but it is a pity that Saint Nidol did not notice it.

The eldest son of the Cordelion family looked directly at Li Ge, and after a while bowed his head to thank him.

"Ever since the turmoil caused by the third prince last time, I have been looking for an opportunity to thank you in person. I'm sorry for delaying it until now. Please forgive me."

"And Marquis Franzel, I also asked you to take care of the last turmoil."

"I would like to thank you both again for saving me and my family."

St. Nidore's posture was very low, but he did not appear humble. It gave people the feeling that he was really sorry and was sincerely apologizing and thanking him.

Li Ge and Yuli looked at each other immediately.

"Please raise your head." Yuli spoke first and said: "The crime committed by His Royal Highness the Third Prince is extremely serious. In that situation, everyone in the kingdom will try their best to stop him."

"But you two extended a helping hand to me. This is an undisputed fact." St. Nidore raised his head, smiled suddenly, and said: "This is something that I, St. Nidore Cordelion, owe you two. A favor, no matter what happens in the future, I will find an opportunity to repay you two, and please don’t refuse."

"Okay." Yuli could only nod in agreement and said, "You are here this time to campaign for the throne, right?"

"Yes, and no." St. Nidor actually smiled and said: "The main thing is that I finally have time to come and meet you two. This is the main purpose of my trip."

"As for the campaign for the throne..."

The expression on St. Nidor's face did not change, but what he said made Yuli stunned.

"If there are no accidents, I will win, even without the support of the two of them."

St. Nidor said this neither confidently nor arrogantly, but so naturally that Yuli almost didn't react.

"You, you said you would win?"

Yuli looked at Saint Nidol in astonishment.

"Yes." St. Nidor nodded and said with a faint smile: "Because I have received enough support."

"Captain Froen has promised me that he will support my rise to power on behalf of the Borlei family."

"Patrashub also said that he would support me, and Lord Mulajit has also been convinced by me."

"Also, Dean Ferras, Master Nibald, Hou Maples and others will all publicly express their support for me."

"In addition, the ducal nobles led by the Cordelion family, and some royal nobles were secretly instigated by me to rebel. If my calculation is correct, even if I lose a total of twenty votes from the two of them, I will be successful. to sit on the throne."

"So, I've won."

"The next king will be me, Saint Nidol Jinas."
