The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Some special individuals among devils can be trusted, but humans who voluntarily become devils cannot be trusted.

Ponce is an ally of the empire, and Perospera will never allow this to happen. When the time comes, the nobles must be replaced by someone to assist them.

As for one

It was okay to have a sex demon tied up by her side, but Perospela didn't feel that Gloria needed her to pay such attention to her. They were just good friends.

"Of course, your will," the diplomat responded.

Chapter 594 Royal Battle

In the next three days, Aya's range of activities was fixed within the embassy. In addition to learning magic every day, she could only use plant perception to observe the scenery within a kilometer. However, the elf girl did not feel any boring or boring, sitting with Vita. Together they can't even tell who is the construct.

"Master, Earl Kenneth has brought back news. He has received information from the spies, and now he wants us to gather in the conference room."

Vita, wearing a maid outfit, walked in from the door and informed Aya. She put down the spell book in her hand and stood up to go to the conference room. Everyone standing at the door saluted Aya one by one. After she entered the conference room and sat down, everyone started to look at themselves. Sit down.

Kenneth distributed the copied information to everyone at the table, and Aya opened it to check. First of all, it was confirmed that the church and the devil's forces were intervening as mentioned before, and secondly, the king's condition inside the palace seemed to be dying.

After many years of spy investigation, it was found that the king's curse was contracted 21 years ago for unknown reasons. Now he is sane but like a dead tree. It is difficult to even get out of bed. The mage and priest have not figured out the reason.

As for killing and then using the resurrection spell... no one dares to use it.

Just like what happened to the Gray Forest Sect, if Sharda was the only one who was contaminated by the toxin and his inability to resurrect was discovered after his death, it would be difficult to find the reason then.

Everyone knows what will happen to the king. In less than a month, the royal family and the nobles will probably be in trouble. By then, no one will want to resurrect the king, even if they do. It's just for the greater good. If he can't be revived, he will probably give up immediately.

So he couldn't die. He survived for 13 years first. With his persistence, the eldest prince finally grew up. If nothing else happened, the eldest prince would be the heir to the throne. Unfortunately, an accident happened. When the eldest prince went out to inspect the kingdom, Killed by an assassin.

No one knows how this old king, who is actually in his 50s but looks like he is over 100 years old, survived and lived for another 8 years. It was only now that he became critically ill.

The Ponce Kingdom, which is not even a tiny bit smaller than the Empire, has many forces. There are many, many people eyeing the throne now. There are people behind the 12 children. The second prince is born to the daughter of the largest army general in the kingdom, and the second largest army general. The fifth prince born to his daughter...

The intelligence explained these forces one by one. The aristocratic faction and the royal faction were originally just the most superficial expressions. In fact, twelve royal family members were divided into two groups to fight in separate courts, and there were many subdivisions for these two groups.

After all, there is only one throne, and the consequence of not being able to grab it is to put your life in the hands of others.

【So exciting...】

Lorenno sighed as he looked at it. Isn't this the norm for these kingdoms on the road?

"No, it's just because the eldest prince died that it made things a lot more troublesome. Originally, the empire and the eldest prince were on the same side. It's a pity that he died, so the empire found another noble faction that could provide more benefits. After all, the empire was on the same side. There are less quarrels here than with the royal family."

"Not to mention the unique geographical location of the Ponce country. Whether it is attacking other countries or being attacked by other countries, Ponce is like a useless country. It is rich in minerals but difficult to conquer, so it is more about trade."

Aya responded to the half-elf, raised her head and asked, "Hasn't King Ponce made any preparations in the past eight years, such as secretly cultivating a new king?"

Kenneth nodded and said: "Your Highness, he must have done it. King Ponce is a very wise man, at least His Majesty said so of him. He once served as a hostage in the empire."

"It's a pity that the spies didn't find out who was the chosen one."

Everyone was looking at the information. At this time, a diplomat knocked on the door and came in, reporting an important news: "The latest news is that the King of Ponce, Seti Curtis, will hold a royal banquet in three days. This is the invitation. We It’s up here too.”

In the splendid palace, a haggard old man wearing a golden crown sat on the throne. The young maid beside him supported him worriedly. The old man looked down at his children, giving them terrible pressure.

"I just slept for a few days, and Ponce became like this? Tell me, who caused it in the first place."

The legendary coercion swept over everyone. Ponce King Seti Curtis reached out and knocked on the chair. There was no sound in the silent palace. The second prince suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Father, it was the fifth brother who provoked me." I just fought back."

"You - fart!"

Hearing what he said, the fifth prince said dirty: "If you hadn't wanted to send someone to assassinate me first, there would be no need for me to go to war with you!"

"I told you I didn't do it! Why don't you check Rena who has the most spell casters!"

The second princess Reina gave up when she saw that she was involved, and immediately began to complain, and the entire palace began to turn into a vegetable market. Saiti was not in a hurry, and listened to their quarrels and conversations with her eyes closed.

An hour later, everyone was so noisy that their mouths were dry, and Saiti struggled to open her eyes: "No matter who started it first, everything will stop starting today."

Come down, otherwise..."

The twelve children suddenly fell silent. Even if the father on the throne is old, he is still the king of Ponce.

After taking a deep breath, Saiti spoke again: "I'm about to die. I still have more than a month to go."

Hearing what the king said, the 12 people suddenly realized that the final battle to the death was coming.

Not paying attention to what the children thought, he continued: "Three days later, I will announce the tasks to be completed as a king at the royal banquet, and invite envoys from various countries to come and witness. All you have to do is mobilize your strength to complete it. .”

"Is there a problem?"

"No!""……"

When the father said this, some of the 12 people were happy and some were sad. The second prince, the fifth prince and some people were excited because of the huge power behind them, while others were worried about whether they could complete it.

"Then let's do this for today. Remember, all disputes in the city will stop from today."

"Yes," the second prince said first, but still a little hesitant, "Father, the stolen royal props——"

"If you steal it, just steal it. Anyway, one of the twelve of you stole it. You can just take it back after whoever comes to power."

Saiti said ruthlessly. The second prince and the fifth prince secretly looked at Gloria. They were sure that the thing was with their sister anyway, but they couldn't go in to search due to "love", otherwise they would have been there long ago. Take it out.

Saiti was supported by the maid and walked towards the bedroom, and several people left the palace in intrigues.

Chapter 595 Focus

Three days later—

Celebrities from the Ponce Kingdom are gathering at the palace. Carriages continue to drive into the palace. Diplomats from the empire are also among them, but not all of them are present. Those who can come are at least nobles above count or well-known officials, Anne and others, and people from the empire. The guard team was waiting outside.

"That's the empire's carriage, right?" "Look at the one in the middle..." "The second princess is here too..."

Listening to the sounds coming from outside, Aiya sat motionless in the carriage. As the speed slowed down and stopped, many people looked over with curiosity.

Vita opened the car door, took Aiya's hand and stepped out of the carriage. The veiled girl with a cold temperament made many people fall into her terrifying charm. After regaining consciousness, they were still frightened. Many people cast malicious glances that they thought were hidden. .

Ignoring these guys, Aya entered the palace surrounded by diplomats and walked into the palace.

"Kenneth!" "Oh, Barton..."

The diplomats began to talk to others, but Aya, the flower of the high mountains, was still blocked by them. Many young girls looked regretful and anxious, wanting to get close to the second princess to show their charm.

Standing among the old men and women, Aya was not dissatisfied. There was no expression on her deserted face. She quietly used her plant senses to listen to everyone's conversations, paying special attention to the place that was obviously the Ponce royal family.

"Is that His Highness Lorenno?" "...It's different from what I imagined..." "I thought he would be a rude ranger, but I didn't expect that he would be so beautiful in temperament..."

"Gloria, my dear sister, I remember His Highness Lorenno went to find you, right?"

The second prince turned to ask Gloria, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, His Highness Lorenno brought a letter to me for His Highness Perosphera."

"……Humph."

He let out a hum of unknown meaning, then stopped paying attention to his sister and thought about how to talk to Aya.

……

Kenneth and Barton were chatting. As they talked, Barton naturally changed the subject: "Speaking of why you are guarding Her Royal Highness, young people should move around more. How about we go to the other side to talk?"

"Forget it," Kenneth rejected his invitation. "Your Highness has just arrived in Ponce Country and is participating in a diplomatic mission for the first time. We are worried that she will be deceived by some thoughtful people, which will cause trouble."

"Haha, how is that possible? You know..."

The local nobles who talked with the diplomats tried to find ways to get them to leave Aya's side, but no one was moved. What happened in the country of music before was too terrifying for these officials and nobles of the empire.

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the officials/nobles are in a hurry. If Her Royal Highness the Princess is caught, the empire's original plans may have to be put on hold. This is something they both cannot bear. If possible, they would not even let the Second Princess become a legend. Not taking a step.

It's a pity that this is impossible. There is no way. At least this time they have to protect Aiya so that she will never make any mistakes.

As time passed, more and more people arrived at the palace. After all the important people had arrived, a servant at the gate ran to report. After reporting along the way, news came from the king's bedroom that the king would be arriving soon.

The magic lamp light in the hall began to move slowly, guiding everyone's attention to the stage through the light guidance. The guests realized that the main event had arrived, so they all stopped talking. A thin old man wearing a robe appeared from behind and slowly Slowly walked towards the front of the hall.

"Dear guests from Ponce Country or Ponce Abroad, it's been a long time."

The skeleton-like old man showed an infectious smile, and everyone performed different etiquettes on him one by one and called out: "Your Majesty Curtis!"

"Thank you for coming to this dinner, right?

, I remember friends from the empire also arrived? "

"Your Majesty Curtis, it's been a long time no see, probably two or three years."

Hearing Saiti mention them, the diplomatic team came to the old man through the crowd, smiled and saluted again, Saiti said cheerfully: "Yes, Kenneth, I haven't seen you for two or three years, but it's a pity that we will never see you again soon." Arrived~."

The old man said this, and everyone present had already expected it - once the old king dies, the Ponce Kingdom may really fall into a crisis of division.

Undercurrents began to surge in everyone's hearts. Some people were ready to flee to other countries, and some were preparing their teams. Seti looked at Aya who was surrounded by everyone and asked: "This is the second daughter of His Majesty the Emperor. Bar?"

"I am Lorenno Impéres, this is the first time we meet, Your Majesty."

When Aya heard the old king calling her, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, focusing on Seti. This was an old man with a terrifying appearance, similar to a zombie, with a withered body, atrophied blood vessels, and a few... Nearly blind eyes, few white hairs left...

The life force within him proved that he was indeed going to die in the near future.Wisps of strong death aura wrapped around his body, and even his soul was completely contaminated. Aya could confirm that those things had been completely integrated with him and could not be removed by any means.

As for the soul, she couldn't see anything.

"Ugh……"

Looking at Aiya, the king sighed slightly and glanced at all his children: "Her Majesty the Queen always gives birth to good daughters, but it's a pity that all my children are guys who can't support the wall."

Aya didn't answer. Kenneth smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. The prince and princess both have their own ideas."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this today. I'm going to die anyway, and the rest of the journey is entirely up to them."

Kenneth shook his head and said with a microphone with phantom sound: "Anyway, I invite everyone here to be a witness. I will release a task today. Everyone with my blood can participate. Whoever completes it For this task, who will be the new king!"

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn. The twelve children were all staring at the unoccupied throne behind the king. The maid grabbed the king's hand and looked at him slightly worriedly, as if she was worried about her future fate.

"So what is the mission? What are the rules?"

Aya cooperated very well with the inquiry. The king limped up to the throne with the help of the little maid, and sat on the throne. He no longer used the magic of phantom sound, and his voice became majestic and cold:

"I have hidden the most important key to the royal treasury in a place. I will give each of you, my children, a clue. If you follow up twelve clues, they will all point to that key in the end."

"Whoever gets the key first will inherit the throne!"

Chapter 596: Alternative Divine Right of Kings

【Royal treasury? 】

Hearing this mission, everyone whispered. The second prince and the fifth prince were ecstatic. They would definitely be able to find it faster due to their large number of people. However, the remaining few people were not too dissatisfied. If it was not a head-on confrontation, everyone would be happy. Have the opportunity.

Lorenno was more interested in the royal treasury. The empire was established not as long ago as these ancient countries. I heard that most of the items in the queen's treasury were recovered from old Netherea and were taken from the destroyed countries. Taken from there.

Ponce Country has existed for five to six hundred years or even longer, and I don't know what good things are in the treasure house.

"Your Majesty Curtis, I have two questions," asked the envoy of the Fatir Kingdom who was far away from the imperial diplomats. "How can you confirm that your will will be carried out after your death? If it has not been done by the time of your death, What if someone can get the key?”

"These two questions are very simple..."

Seth Curtis coughed a few times and then clapped his hands. Four terrifying auras instantly enveloped the entire hall. A demon statue covered in silver light walked out from behind the door, with a ruthless cold light in its eyes.

"Mithril Golem?!"

The five-meter-tall golem made some spellcasters in the crowd couldn't help but retreat. The sleek human shape gave people who didn't know a little bit funny and cute, but it could be seen from the way it walked like a human being that it was anything but. Simple, it is definitely not plated with silver on the outside, but made entirely of mithril.

The movements of ordinary golems are usually extremely hindered, but mithril golems are different. The extremely light mithril gives them the ability to move and act quickly (agility 19), and can help their master in time when he is in danger.

It turns out that the excess mithril in the Ponce Kingdom was used for this kind of thing. No wonder Sethi Curtis was so sure that no one would rebel against the next king.

This is what everyone is thinking. The eyes of the twelve children are full of fire. If they can get the golem in their hands, then with the cooperation of the people behind it, no one will dare to resist!

Seth Curtis showed his trump card. In addition to the Mithril Golem, he also made a lot of preparations, such as old friends, special troops, etc., but he didn't say it out loud.

"If no one can find the key to the treasure house before I die..."

King Seti continued to talk about the second question, clapped his hands, and a guy who surprised everyone appeared. Many guests in the crowd started to worry when they saw him, like a mouse seeing a cat. Eight of the royal family's children were restless.

The people who come here are the most fair and orderly people on the mainland, they will never accept bribes, and they will never make mistakes.

The referee who judges any illegal matter is——

The chief pastor of the Church of Endless Light!

"I will hand over the power of granting the throne to the Church of Endless Light, and let them help transfer the throne to the person who holds the key."

Under everyone's uneasiness, Seth Curtis announced that several princes and princesses wanted to speak but could not question this choice. Transferring the power to bestow the throne to the Church of Endless Light was a very reasonable and reasonable choice. The Light of the End already has the divine function of contract.

The main reason why they were surprised was that this was not the territory of the Endless Light. The most powerful ones were the Silver Moon Church and the Church of the Dark Night. In order to avoid them, few employees of the Endless Light were operating in the capital. This person The chief pastor should have been transferred from other places.

"I hereby declare the contract," the head priest solemnly opened the parchment in his hand, "If the King of Ponce, Sethi Curtis, dies, the Church of the Endless Light will take over the task of passing on the throne, and at the same time, Sethi Curtis will be The important items owned by His Majesty and stored in the Church of Endless Light will be handed over to the next king."

"This contract will last forever until the Endless Light dies or the world is destroyed. If all of Seth Curtis's descendants die, the heir to the throne will be designated by the Endless Light Church."
