"Do it?" the Marquis of Kington shook his head, "No, he doesn't have the guts yet. ”

He walked to the window and lifted the curtain slightly to look outside, there were not many pedestrians, everything was as usual.

Relying on the advantages accumulated over the years of high power, most of the nobles in the royal capital now support him. However, the royal family is a royal family after all, and its strength should not be underestimated. "His Majesty the King seems to be gentle and benevolent, but in fact he can become a king, how can he be incompetent?"

"You mean, Your Majesty ......" Donglei frowned, not knowing what to say.

"We can't see through His Majesty. Kington looked into the distance, "I haven't seen him for a long time, I can't rule out that he is doing a big trap, waiting for Quint to jump inside, if so, he should let the eldest prince Bron succeed him, this is the safest thing to do." ”

"Isn't that the case now?" asked Donglei.

"If that's the case, do I still need to come to Ember City?" Kington sighed, "Now that news is coming out of the palace that His Majesty the King intends to have His Highness Bai Xuan succeed to the throne - this is really crazy. ”

"Father, I already know the news. ”

"Where did you get the news?" Quinton replied, too unexpected.

"Bronn sent a letter a few days ago and told His Highness Bai Xuan the news. ”

Kington was slightly stunned, this was a result he didn't expect at all.

"Our Highness Bronn is doing things unexpectedly, that's interesting. Kington said, "What did His Highness Bai Xuan say?"

He replied that he would fully support His Highness Bronn, whether the news was true or not, and he made it clear that he had no intention of competing for the throne, and he was resolute. ”

"Well, that's what smart people do. ”

"So, father, you're here to tell me this?"

"Of course it's not that simple, I'm going to talk to you personally, about Ember City, and your options. Kington looked at Dong Lei, "I hope you give up following His Highness Bai Xuan, the news in the palace will come out soon, and Ember City will become unsafe, even more so His Highness Bai Xuan." ”

"Father, I'm afraid I can't agree. Dong Lei didn't hesitate, "You may all underestimate His Highness Bai Xuan too much, besides, this news ...... I'm afraid it's not true. ”

"Oh?" Quinton raised an eyebrow, "I won't underestimate anyone, but you think the news from the palace is a rumor?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, I personally asked the ministers of the palace, and the news was told by His Majesty the King himself. Kington said, "Our family spends more than 3,000 gold coins on the Minister of the Interior every year, and this news will definitely not be wrong. ”

Donglei was stunned, was this the case?

"But even so, would Quint dare to be an opponent of His Highness?" said Winterlei, "and this is not a wise decision. ”

"Of course it's not that simple. If the matter is really irreparable, he will take action to prevent future troubles, and even if he doesn't do it, someone else will do it and blame him, so for him, there may not be much choice. ”

"Others, what do you mean?"

"Rosa, Theron, even the Grand Prince, it's possible. For Rosa and Theron, the chalk situation is, of course, the more chaotic it is, the better it is for them, and they will not sit idly by and watch this opportunity slip away. For the eldest prince, if he really wants to sit on the throne, then he must stifle all unstable factors. ”

Winter Thunder gasped.

"So, are you still going to keep your decision?" said Kington, looking at his young son.

Dong Lei also looked at Kington, whose gray-haired figure was obviously fat, as the helmsman of the family, as a father, he was very fond of himself, I am afraid that this is the reason why he came to Ember City to persuade him personally.

After a moment of silence, Dong Lei slowly replied.

"Father, I will not change my decision. ”

"I knew that, but I respect your decision. ”

To Winter Thunder's surprise, Kington didn't lash out, as if he had expected him to say that.

"I've brought a guard with me, and I'll stay to protect you. But on the surface, the family will alienate you, reduce their support for you, and send a signal to the people of the royal capital that you have to do it yourself. ”

"Father, don't you blame me?"

"Why blame you, you're grown up and you should have your own decisions. Kington smiled, "Besides, who knows if His Highness Bai Xuan will win?"

There is another reason why Kington didn't say it, and that is the place of Ember City, and it is impossible for the Hofer family to really give up.

Dong Lei didn't know how to win, but he believed that His Highness Bai Xuan would never lose.

Although he felt a little fussy about Kington's hurried arrival, he hugged his father heavily as he said goodbye.

When he returned to the castle and saw Bai Xuan, His Royal Highness was writing at his desk.

"Your Highness, I have seen the hunting group that sells strange beasts, and it proves that the news is true, the rift beasts continue to appear, and there is a trend of increasing, and there are many casualties among the hunting groups recently. ”

"It looks like we're going to have to pick things up, but we don't have enough people. Bai Xuan raised his head.

Not only is there not enough manpower, but also the combat effectiveness of the personnel is not good, and a decent hunting group cannot be formed at all.

"I've sent a guard from my family, and I've arrived at Ember City, arranged on the outskirts of the castle. "Winter Thunder Road.

"That's good news, how many people?"

"Thirty people, but all of them are elite warriors, two gold warriors, ten silver warriors, and the rest are also experienced warriors. ”

"That way, we can assemble a team and go to the Black Curse Forest. Bai Xuan stood up.

"But Your Highness, I think His Highness Bron has a point, your safety is more important at the moment, and now is not the time to go to the forest. ”

Bai Xuan pressed his hands on the desk, and found that he had no way to refute.

"Then wait a little longer, just give Master Thomas and Filip a little time, it's not wise to fight hard, we need weapons. ”

Dong Lei nodded, although he wasn't sure what the weapons His Highness said could do, but hearing those thunderous noises every day made him inexplicably have some expectations.

"Fall into the gods. Bai Xuan suddenly remembered something, "Will your feather arrows produce an explosive effect?"

"Only when there is a penetrating wound. Falling God stood up from the fireplace, still holding a book in his hand, "The tail of the arrow will shake the air and cause more damage, which is probably the explosion you are talking about." ”

"How is this achieved?"

"Enchantment. A mage's skill can apply magic to items to produce specific effects. "The Falling God stretched out his lotus-like arms and pulled his hair behind pointed ears," a compressed air magic enchanted at the end of an arrow. ”

"Is this easy to do?"

"It's not too difficult, it depends on the ability of the enchanter, if the power requirements are high, it is not easy to achieve. "Falling God Dao," enchantment is mainly a support, and cannot be the main means of attack. ”

"Understood. Bai Xuan said.

It seems that gunpowder still has to be relied upon.

"Your Highness!" Cares walked in with a smile on his face, "a team from the royal capital has arrived, saying that it has been ordered to be your guard, and it has already arrived outside the castle. ”

"Wangdu, was it sent by His Majesty?"

"No, it was sent by His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”
