"Wait a minute, Duke An, we are not qualified to decide the future of the brave." The leader of the bald priest retorted, "Only Lathander and the Great Saint are qualified to intervene in the matter of the brave. Even the Pope of Dawn is not allowed to advise the brave. grown ups!"

The marriage contract between Clintina and the hero was a verbal agreement and had no effect.

Moreover, the brave man and the saint are essentially the same. They must abide by the creed of never marrying and being pure for life, which is the face of the Church of Dawn.

It is absolutely not allowed to use a marriage contract as a political bargaining chip.

The Church of Dawn has never publicly supported the verbal engagement between the brave man and Clintina.

Clintina had instinctively hugged Richard's arm, her body trembling.

She cannot decide her future at all, but is like a puppet on strings waiting for her fate to be pronounced.

Richard sighed and said helplessly: "Duke An, nobles also have noble etiquette. The law of primogeniture has lasted for tens of thousands of years in Silver Moon. If you abolish it today, can it be seen as contempt for all nobles or even Silver Moon?" Royal family!"

As Richard took the lead in starting the group, the nobles under Duke An also began to whisper uneasily.

The law of eldest son inheritance seems to have nothing to do with the actual interests of the nobles, but it is actually the foundation on which the nobles rely for their livelihood.

Designating heirs based on preference will expose the vassal nobles to the risk of being liquidated if they are on the wrong team, which will only increase the instability of the situation and vicious competition among the nobles.

For the sake of their own interests, other nobles could not support Duke An's move in any case.

Not to mention that Clintina had never made any mistakes, and Duke An only had Clintina as her only daughter.

If Clintina is banned, then the successor can only be re-selected from other branches. Such instability should be avoided at all costs.

For aristocrats, mediocrity is not a shortcoming. They are afraid of picking a mentally ill person to be their heir.

In comparison, Clindina is just weaker, dumber, has a worse temper, and her private life is a little weirder...

Apart from these, Clintina has no shortcomings and is considered worthy of everyone's expectations.

A respected old nobleman said: "Sir, you may need to be more cautious in your decision. The engagement between Miss Clintina and Lord Brave does not necessarily abrogate the right of inheritance."

Duke An warned: "This is my announcement, not a negotiation. Stand down, there will be no next time."

The absolutely strong style prevented the remaining nobles from refuting or complaining at all.

Richard finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although the hierarchy among the nobles is strict, it never becomes one person's opinion.

The current situation undoubtedly means that Duke An has completely controlled the entire Midden Territory and has become a centralizer.

Just like the real imperial human empire next door to the Silver Moon Empire.

As for the Marquis of Cha, who was second only to the Duke and one of the few who could speak, he died under Duke An's sword for no apparent reason today.

It seems to be a mistake, but it is full of conspiracy and tricks.

Richard looked at Nunalia.

Nunalia raised her index finger to her mouth, as if in warning.

She made several mouth movements using her lips.

"Shut up, common people."

Chapter 57 Nanalia, I love you

At present, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Clintina will be deposed as heir.

Richard also felt a little headache.

Although he dislikes Clintina very much, it is always in his long-term interests that the next Duke An is Clintina.

"I question!" Clintina said loudly, "Since you want to depose me, then father, please tell me who the next successor is? Is he qualified to replace me? You must give an explanation to the loyal people here. .”

Richard's body immediately tensed up, and he held the staff tightly, ready to release the group teleportation magic at any time and run away.

After all, the current Duke An doesn't have any human touch at all. He is more like a machine that executes orders.

Even if Duke An's next sword was aimed at Clindina, it would not be surprising at all.

Clintina's questioning successfully aroused renewed agitation among the nobles, and sporadic voices asked Duke An to reconsider.

Faced with Clintina's sudden doubts and mixed discussions, Duke An seemed unable to handle it for a while and stood silently.

After a long time, he said loudly: "Quiet!"

Obviously, simple orders can no longer maintain order.

Many chamber of commerce presidents who had deliberately approached Clindina to please her also joined the wave of condemnation for the sake of long-term interests and to avoid being liquidated afterwards.

No matter how powerful Duke An was, after brazenly killing a marquis, he could not attack others no matter what.

Since the law does not punish everyone, it should be louder.

Most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen, even the pastors of the Church of the Dawn, also joined this group.

They beat the banquet table rhythmically and became completely noisy. Leather shoes and smelly socks flew around, asking Duke An to reconsider.

Richard stared at Duke An, and something seemed more and more wrong.

Duke An was too calm. No matter how deep his city was, he would not be able to do nothing in the face of such a huge wave of opposition.

Then there is only one possibility, but Richard is not sure.

So Richard looked at the brave man and waited for his move.

The brave man was naturally still in a trance.

But even if he flew again, he would probably understand that he had been summoned to Duke An's mansion.

However, his summoned state has not been lifted yet. Does that mean that the evil has not been completely eliminated?

Yes, it must be like this. This must be the deep meaning of Lord Aboluo.

He must be examining me secretly and silently!

The Duke, who was unattainable to others, was just a noble with a good status in the eyes of the brave.

But nobles are human beings after all, and there is an essential difference between them and the brave man, the son of Lathander.

So he followed the angry gazes of the crowd and saw Duke An hiding in the armor. He almost instinctively raised his pickaxe.

Even when faced with high-level legends that may exceed level 25, the brave man is not afraid at all.

Because he accurately discovered Richard among the chaotic crowd.

Since Richard is here, the brave man has nothing to fear.

Anyway, he will take care of the aftermath.

The stereotyped thinking developed during the three years of adventure with Richard made the brave man too lazy to think too much.

As a fanatic believer in Lathander, he just wanted to completely defeat the huge evil in front of him.

The most powerful evil-killing cross pick from a mere ninth-level warrior is ready.

"Evil, I am sworn in with you! I will pour Lathander's divine power into every orifice of your body! Blood sacrifice to Dawn Club, head to Lathander! waaaah!"

In the chaotic banquet hall, the brave man recited some strange words and took the first step towards Duke An.

Of course, Richard, who had been observing silently, couldn't let the brave man use the Evil-Breaking Slash, otherwise it would be terrible.

Slaying Evil is a regular skill of the Priest Paladin. It is used to cause critical damage to evil creatures, but it is extremely broad in nature.

If a little bad person is hit by the Evil-Breaking Slash, it will at best be like being pricked by a needle, and there is no need to even dodge.

But for Duke An, who may not be human at all, it is a real high-stakes blow, and comes with a camp identification certified by the brave man himself.

And now it is obvious that he has not reached the point where he has to challenge Duke An.

At the moment when Silver Moon is about to be in civil strife, the Dukes of various provinces are watching with eager eyes.

If Duke Ruoan is identified as an evil creature at this moment, the Midden Territory will almost be doomed, and Richard will also suffer huge losses.

So he recited a space-type flickering spell, appeared in front of the brave man in an instant, and held the brave man firmly.

Richard advised: "Flying Hero, you must have read it wrong."

"Richard, don't stop me. I'm here to defeat the evil. This evil is too great. I can't live up to the expectations of Governor Aboluo. Do you know that if I successfully complete the task, I can get..."

The brave man was pushed to the ground by Richard, but he still struggled desperately.

Richard released the highest level soundproofing spell and asked in a low voice in the chaos: "Are you sure, Flying Brave! Duke An is really an evil creature? Can you guarantee it!"

The brave man said loudly: "I can't be sure, but this is my intuition! And Richard, don't call me Feiwu, call me Mine Yong! Why are you still so disrespectful to me! I am very angry, which means that Lathander is also very angry. !”

Richard's body trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

The brave man's ability is completely kept secret by the Church of Dawn and is not known to outsiders.

But of course Richard, a former member of the Brave, knows very well that the Brave has a very idealistic but useful ability.

[Intuition about good and evil]

To put it simply, the hero’s intuition is the ruler!

Creatures deemed evil by the hero's intuition are definitely not good people in every sense of the word.

Richard looked at Duke An. He was still standing there like a puppet, unmoved in the face of everyone's condemnation. He only released the legendary pressure regularly, but he could no longer scare anyone.

Then everything can be further confirmed!

Duke An is definitely not a normal person, more like a constructed puppet!

Because of the construction puppet A Boluo of the Star Chamber of Commerce, Richard had some understanding of the technology of constructing puppets.

According to Aboluo, if a simple mechanical component does not have a Nether kernel driver of sufficient quality, it can only complete simple interactive behaviors entered in advance, and it is difficult to possess higher intelligence.

Therefore, faced with the resistance of Clintina, who was not supposed to be here, Duke An, who was like a puppet, did not have the corresponding data circuit to respond.

The subsequent unexpected large-scale opposition also exceeded Duke An's built-in data loop, causing him to completely shut down.

It's almost a stuck bug.

But all this is still Richard's guess and must be further verified.

The noisy banquet hall is now the best time.

The law does not punish everyone, and all deviant behaviors will be tolerated to the minimum extent.

As long as you ask Duke An an extremely outrageous question, anyone who hears it will be furious, but it is essentially a meaningless question, and you can make a complete conclusion by observing his reaction.

So Richard stood on the banquet table, cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly using amplification magic:
