The three of them walked through the long aisle all the way, and the dragon-patterned door leading to the main hall had been pushed open. From a distance, they could see quite a lot of knights and nobles gathered inside, most of them were uniformly dressed, with knights in white robes on one side, On the other side are nobles or members of the Sages in purple and black gowns.

The main hall is spacious and spacious, like a sports field, and it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. The floor from the main entrance to the main hall is covered with a red carpet, like a gap separating the knights and the members of the wise men's society. The carpet extending to the top is the throne symbolizing the king , as well as the exclusive seats of the Sage Council on both sides.

Stepping into the main hall, Matou Shinji searched the side of the knight. The target was naturally Sword Master Reinhardt. He was still very interested in this knight who was loved by the world.

Roswaal noticed Matou Shinji's gaze and said with a smile: "The adults of the Wise Men's Association haven't entered yet, Mr. Shinji, you can move around freely, and it doesn't matter to say hello to people you know."

Matou Shinji nodded, and walked away, but he didn't find Reinhardt's figure, but he was seen by the other party.

Reinhardt greeted Matou Shinji with a hearty smile and said happily: "I didn't expect to see you here again, Shinji."

"Long time no see, I am participating in the king's election as Emilia's guard knight."

"Well, it seems that we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Matou Shinji shrugged: "Although I said that, I have only been a guard knight for less than a day, and I am still at a loss as to what to do."

"Haha, today's words are nothing special. I accompanied my serving master through this ceremony."

Matou Shinji looked around and asked doubtfully, "Why can't I see Felt, isn't she one of the candidates for the king?"

Reinhardt's face was a little strange when he heard that, and he smiled wryly: "Of course, but everyone is still very unfamiliar with her now, so we need to find a better time to appear on the stage."

While the two chatted, Lugnica's remaining candidates for the king arrived one after another.

The second candidate for the king who entered the main hall was a purple-haired girl in a white winter dress and a snow-white tall hat, looking immature and lovely.

Matou Shinji remembered that her name should be Anastasia Heshin, the president of the chamber of commerce from Kararagi, a city of free trade.

The third person to enter was a girl in a fiery red dress, her appearance was equally astonishingly beautiful, her vibrant orange-red hair was decorated with expensive jewelry, her eyebrows were raised, and her vermilion eyes revealed a sense of arrogance. A lace folding fan covered his mouth.

Priscilla Balier, a widow known as the Scarlet Bride.

The fourth person to enter was a green-haired woman dressed in men's clothing. Her appearance was heroic, and her words and deeds gave people a sense of resoluteness.

Crusch Karsten, the owner of the emissary who visited the mansion the day before yesterday, followed her by the cat-eared boy Felix who visited the day before yesterday.

Felix was dressed completely differently from the day before, wearing the same white knight uniform as Reinhardt, which was a little less cute and a little more heroic, but it was still impossible to determine his gender just from his appearance.

Matou Shenji doesn’t know how to complain about this wonderful combination of a beauty in men’s clothing and a fake girl in women’s clothing. In addition, the last candidate for the king who did not appear should be Felut, a thief born in a slum. Although he has collected information before, Matou Shinji still can’t help it. It creates a feeling that the country is about to end.

"And all of them are beautiful women. Could it be that this work is all about flattery?" Matou Shenji complained speechlessly in his heart.

"Hey, Reinhardt, and Mr. Shinji, I haven't seen you for two days, you probably haven't forgotten me." Felix, a boy with cat ears, came over to say hello enthusiastically.

Matou Shinji shook his head: "I am deeply impressed."

"Reinhardt, so you are here." Another handsome knight with long purple hair came over to say hello. He was a knight following Anastasia Hexin. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Shinji Matou, hesitating Asked: "This adult is."

Reinhardt stood up and introduced with a smile: "Let me introduce, this is my friend Shinji Matou, Lord Emilia's guard knight, who defeated the intestine hunter a few days ago, and is quite powerful. "

"Meow!? Intestine hunter, the famous assassin in the capital?" Felix whispered.

The long-haired knight bowed humbly: "My name is Lius Eucleius, the deputy head of the Royal Guard Knights, and also the guard knight of Lord Anastasia."

"Hello." Matou Shinji followed his example and bowed in return.

"Hey! Why are you willing to greet Julius, but treat me so coldly?" Felix muttered dissatisfied.

"I feel that if I get too close to you, there will be a sense of crisis."

"What meow!"

As he said, another man dressed in strange clothes came to say hello: "It's really lively here. Guys, if you don't mind adding me, I'm Priscilla's knight. My name is Aldi Balan, because the name is too long. , it’s more troublesome to pronounce, just call me Al, others are reluctant to talk to me.”

"Hello." Julius nodded.

Shinji Matou looked at the weird knight in front of him. He was dressed more exaggeratedly than Roswaal. He clearly wore a closed helmet on his head, but his clothes and trousers were quite casual, revealing his hardcover upper body. Scars, it can be seen that the strength is not bad.

Reinhardt laughed dumbfoundedly: "In this way, the knights of the five king candidates are all together, and I thought the atmosphere would be even more tense."

Chapter 1 Thirty

"Phyllis, what are you doing?"

The green-haired beauty in men's clothes came over, with one hand on her hips, and her uniform trimmed her curves. She carefully sized Matou Shinji and his party.

No matter how you look at it, the five people headed by Reinhardt are too eye-catching, almost attracting the attention of more than half of the people in the main hall.

Felix moved his cat ears, and replied with a smile: "Meow~ Master Crusch, because this place is more interesting and I know many people, so I came here to say hello."

Crusch nodded, "I know both Reinhardt and Julius, these two are."

Felix enthusiastically introduced: "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that there is an interesting person beside Emilia, that is Mr. Matou Shinji, and this is Priscilla-sama's guard knight."

Crusch looked at Matou Shinji with interest: "Oh? You are the magician who is proficient in swordsmanship. Not only Felix, but even Wilhelm praised you."

"Overrated."

"What about you?"

Ah Ye said boldly: "My name is Al."

"Hmph, it's an interesting combination, that is to say, the knight candidates for the king are all gathered together."

Reinhardt chuckled and said, "Master Crusch, I've already said this just now, everyone is a knight with extraordinary bearing and doesn't care about status."

"Even if you say that, it's not a bad thing to think more about your master... Ah, it seems that the timing of my joining is not very coincidental. I wanted to chat with you and prepare for the banquet later." Crusch As he said that, he suddenly turned his gaze to the gate of the main hall, where a middle-aged knight was leading the way with a group of elders from the Sage Society.

The short-haired middle-aged male knight stepped into the main hall first, stood on the high platform and shouted in a deep voice: "Silence! Now, the adults of the Sage Association are invited to enter."

The subordinate members of the Sage Association or the knights gathered in groups of three or four returned to the team in an orderly manner, standing on both sides of the red carpet and bowing.

Shinji Matou imitated standing behind Reinhardt, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of old men in the uniform of the Sage Association entering the arena one after another. They climbed from the red carpet to the high platform and sat on the throne on both sides of the throne.

"Excuse me." Crusch bowed, and came to the center of the main hall as a candidate for the king, standing with Emilia and the others.

"Then, please forgive me for presumptuousness. Next, I, Marx, who is the head of the Knights Guards of the Kingdom, will preside over the meeting process."

The middle-aged knight sternly looked at the four king candidates under the stage, and said slowly: "The matter needs to start half a year ago, and the royal family headed by the former king passed away one after another..."

"and many more."

The girl's crisp voice interrupted the middle-aged knight commander's opening remarks. The speaker was Anastasia, one of the candidates for the king. Her accent was very strange, similar to a dialect, and Shinji Matou could barely understand it.

"I know that Mr. Leader wants to strictly abide by the parliamentary process, but there is a saying in Kararaki that time is money. I have already wasted a lot of time by participating in this boring parliamentary meeting. I waited for a long time just now. But it's busy, so instead of wasting time repeating what everyone knows, it's better to get right to the heart of the matter."

"Second." Crusch nodded while clasping his hands.

"Master Crusch, how can the owner of Karsten say that?"

Crusch said indifferently: "Although tradition is important, it is true that time is limited. I think we should explain the reason for calling us as soon as possible."

The middle-aged knight leader looked back at the elders of the Sage Association, and seeing them nodding in agreement, he continued: "According to the prophecy of Long Lishi, choose one of the five people who may become the leader of the country to become the Dragon Witch and continue to conclude the contract. Knight, Come forward, Reinhardt van Astrea."

"Yes." Reinhardt stepped forward and half-kneeled in front of the throne to report: "Reinhardt van Astrea, who belongs to the Knights of the Guards, is reporting the mission status to all the adults, Dragon Priestess, the first The five candidates for the kingdom have been found, and they are also the ones I serve, Lord Felut."

At the gate of the main hall, Felut, a girl in a luxurious dress, walked slowly, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Although he was born in a slum, he still looks good in his clothes, as expected, people rely on clothes.

Matou Shinji stared at Felt's current appearance, and laughed softly in his evaluation.

"Lord Felut, please take this first." Reinhard put the badge symbolizing the king's candidate status into Felut's palm.

Badges glow weakly.

Reinhard looked up at the crowd and proudly declared: "This proves that Mr. Felut is the fifth candidate for the king."

"Reinhardt, it's fine, how long will you wear this troublesome clothes." Felut muttered dissatisfied.

Reinhardt smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "You did it quite perfectly, please bear with me for a little longer, Master Felut."

"It was agreed in advance that if the time is too long, the commission fee will be doubled."

"I see."

The whispers of Reinhardt and Felut clearly reached Matou Shinji's ears, well, it was another wonderful combination.

Shinji Matou suddenly had some doubts. As a half-elf, Emilia might win this king election even without the help of others. After all, most of the other king candidates are weird.

With Felt's appearance, there were more discussions in the main hall, almost all of which came from the subordinate members of the Sage Association, who were mostly composed of nobles.

"Is the king candidate supported by the Astrea family represented by the knight Reinhardt? This time the king election is more intense than expected."

"The last candidate for the king is decently dressed, but isn't he a bit too young?"

"The candidate for the king supported by the knight Reinhardt among the knights and the head of the Karst family is really a difficult choice."

On the high platform, one of the elders of the Sage Society said in a deep voice: "Please be quiet, Knight Reinhardt. Let me explain how I found her."

"Yes, Lord Felt, I found it in a corner of the slum a month ago."

As soon as Reinhardt finished speaking, after a brief silence, more violent discussions erupted from the subordinate members of the Sage Council. This time, it was almost one-sided negative comments.

"I can't believe it! It turned out to be a pariah from a slum?"

"How can a poor man be qualified to become a king? It seems that it is better to start supporting the Karsten family."

"Why are the untouchables from the slums eligible to come in here!"

Felut's small face was gloomy for a moment. Hearing more and more criticisms, he couldn't hold back his anger and yelled at the subordinate members of the Sage Association: "I'm really sorry that I was born in a slum."

"The untouchables dare to argue with the nobles."

"I can't accept it. I felt fine at first, but after revealing my true identity, I didn't even feel a bit of upbringing."

"Why would such a man be chosen as a candidate for king?"

Felut made a face at them, crossed his hands and said in disdain: "You self-righteous guys! Aren't you the ones who brought me here without permission!"

Reinhardt smiled wryly, not daring to say more.

Chapter 131 The Undercurrent Surges

Under the atmosphere that was about to explode, the fiery red figure suddenly stood up, and Priscilla, one of the candidates for the king, covered half of his face with a folding fan, and said proudly: "How long do you have to waste your tongue, it's extremely boring, because you can only Talk about it, you will become a pariah in the slums."

Felut, who had already been irritated by the taunts, rushed to Priscilla quickly, his eyes met her tit for tat, and he replied angrily in a childish voice: "Ah? Do you want to fight with me? I don't mind making your picture stinky!" The mouth that smells is torn."

As soon as the fan was closed, Priscilla's face was cold: "Don't get carried away, who do you think I am?"

"My lord princess!" Al shouted helplessly in the knight team.

Matou Shinji knew why Al was calling, and the magic eyes saw that the magic power in the atmosphere was turbulent, converging on Priscilla's body, sparks were raised when the fan was swung out, and a surge of heat made the air in the main hall dry.

Huh?This magical attribute does not belong to any common family.

Matou Shinji's face moved slightly, and the magic eye analyzed that Priscilla's magic attribute should be a rare yang attribute.

The moment Pucilia made a move, Reinhardt stood in front of Felut almost instantly, and bowed to salute: "I'm sorry, Priscilla-sama."

Without doing anything, the turbulent flow of magic power was suppressed by an invisible force when it touched Reinhardt's body.

This is the power of protection.

Matou Shinji's magic eyes lighted up slightly, and he recorded the scene in front of him. What happened so far has made Matou Shinji feel that he has gained a lot.

Emilia was also standing in front of Felt, and her clear voice like a silver bell rarely showed aggressive anger: "On such an important occasion, with such strong hostility, what do you want?"

Priscilla looked down at Emilia and Felut with raised eyebrows, and sneered: "It's nothing, I just want to teach the uneducated bitch a lesson, at least let her understand what is called status difference."

"Won't you apologize?" Emilia asked angrily.

Priscilla turned her face away, opened the folding fan to cover her mouth and announced proudly: "Anyone who offends my concubine can only pay with his life. Besides, according to what you said, shouldn't you tell everyone present that I live in this world?" I'm so sorry, everyone? A silver-haired half-elf."

The last address was full of malice, making no secret of mocking Emilia's identity.

Matou Shinji narrowed his eyes slightly, considering whether he should stand up now as Emilia's guard knight.

Priscilla's words just hit Emilia's weak spot, she hesitated for a while, and retorted softly: "I have nothing to do with the witch."

Priscilla couldn't help but sneered: "What's the point of such an excuse? Your existence will awaken people's fear of taboos, and being similar to the existence of taboos is an unforgivable sin, do you understand? I see you It’s because you don’t understand, it’s because you don’t understand that you’re standing here brazenly, silver-haired half-elf.”

Emilia looked more and more embarrassed, her pale face lowered.

All the knights and subordinate members of the Wise Society in the main hall looked at her. Everyone watched coldly, even gloating, knowing that Priscilla's words were false, but still no one was willing to stand up and speak for Emilia.

The facts are the same as what Priscilla said, even if Emilia just looks like the forbidden witch, it is enough to be considered a dirty existence.

Most people hate everything related to witches from the bottom of their hearts.

"If it continues, Emilia's situation will become very bad."

Matou Shinji looked at the subordinate members of the Sage Association, where Roswaal was, their eyes met, and they understood each other's meaning.
