Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Election of the King Really Begins (Part 3)
Because of excessive surprise, Emilia blinked in disbelief, and it wasn't until Nanatsuki in the distance called her name that she really realized that this person who should have been told to stay at home by herself had once again come to this occasion according to her own will. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The bewildered girl walked quickly in front of Caiyue and said in a panic, "Why? Why are you here?" ”
"Emilia ......" In response to the girl's questioning, Natsuki explained a little helplessly: "This, long talk......"
Because of this small accident, everyone in the hall inevitably gathered their eyes on the door.
As for the appearance of Caiyue Pleiades, Lan turned around with a frown, and it was as Red Lotus said.
Sensing someone's gaze, Priscilla smiled at the corner of her mouth, moved to Natsuki's side, stretched out her fingers to pinch his cheek, and pulled towards her side.
"What's the matter with the handyman who has been staring at the concubine? Priscilla looked at Emilia unceremoniously.
"Stop, I'll be misunderstood by Emilia. Natsuki rubbed the pain in her cheeks and explained nervously.
"As soon as you enjoy the favor of your master, you will have to answer as a despicable traitor. The hand holding her cheek spun slightly, and Priscilla looked at Natsuki.
"Gee, that's really...... Sir Priscilla, my servant has caused you a lot of trouble this time. "It was Rozval, the chief mage of the court, who stepped forward to help the half-elf girl out of the siege. Today he wears a marbled gown that has nothing to do with the title.
"At last, number one fraudster! I picked this man up, what proof is there that he is your servant? Priscilla rightly asked Rozval, who shrugged helplessly.
"Well, fortunately, I've been in the habit of leaving a clear mark on my possessions, and his uniform must have been embroidered with the crest of the humble house. ”
A boring farce, many people present flashed such a farce in their hearts, and Lan, who was also not cold, turned his head and continued to maintain a posture of looking ahead, just like Honglian guessed, this day should be an important plot point, and his mind couldn't help but recall the information that he was forced to memorize last night.
"Hmph. Priscilla, who frowned slightly, suddenly behaved completely differently from before, and did not wait for Caiyue's confirmation, but as if discarding a toy that she was tired of playing, she didn't hesitate to let go of the hand that was holding Caiyue's cheek, and without even stopping her gaze, she strode towards the place where the other candidates were standing in the distance.
It was only when she passed by the forefront of the knights that her awe-inspiring gaze like a knife glared fiercely at that Priscilla, who was a little relieved, walked to the middle of the two candidates in front of her and stood still.
"Just now, I was glared at by that adult. The cat-eared lady in the uniform of the female guard knight showed a wry smile full of cuteness, and with the skirt of his lower body, he looked delicate.
"Ahh "The helmeted man named Al, standing behind Cat Ear Lady. No matter how you look at it, the four people in the first row are all big names in the Knights, and he doesn't want to stand in a row with such a guy.
The farce that followed seemed to be coming to an end, and the silver-haired girl with some kind of worry hurried back to her place, while Rozval returned to the queue of ministers on the right.
As for Caizuki, who came over like a fool and was dressed as a servant, he stood behind him at the sign of Rheinharut's recruitment.
"Sure enough, you're here, Pleiades. With a hearty smile as a greeting, before the council began, Rheinharut turned to look at Natsuki.
"Hey, hey. Nanatsuki, who was a little embarrassed by the other party's words, touched her head, and then glanced at his side, Julius and Arashi.
"Damn, why are the two of them still here, and how conspicuous they are. ”
The whispered muttering was heard in the ears of the person beside him, and then there were overlapping words like Rem and Ram.
"Hey, boy, be kind to my teacher (brother). For the first time, Ronnie and Joshua maintained such a high level of understanding.
What the hell?? It seems that she has stepped on a mine bag and has a surprised expression.
Rheinharut smiled and introduced the person on his left, "He's Julius, and he's my colleague...... Hey, Pleiades, why are you suddenly looking angry? ”
"In my hometown, when I find a rival in love, I put on such a face. The Pleiades pointed unceremoniously at his face, but his eyes were fixed on Julius in front of him. It was him, who kissed the back of the girl's hand in front of Emilia when Emilia went to the security room to borrow the dialogue mirror.
"I hope you don't think he has bad intentions, Julius. Rheinharut explained with a smile, "The Pleiades will belittle themselves like this to evaluate the person who will meet you for the first time. ”
"Don't add unwarranted character settings to me. Caiyue said without complaints.
"Cut. Joshua glared fiercely, and Natsuki Pleiades, who dared to do rude things to his beloved brother, "What a guy who makes people feel the ultimate at first sight." ”
"+1," echoed his nemesis, Ronnie.
"Alright, alright. Phyllis came out to play the round, "It's been a long time since the mansion treated you for a farewell, Natsuki Pleiades." ”
"Oh, it's you. I saw my acquaintance's Caiyue Pleiades again, and greeted happily.
"Hey, hey, Phyllis, don't talk to uncultured guys, it's contagious. Ronnie kindly dissuaded.
At this time, Master Marcos, who was standing in front of everyone, cleared his throat and interrupted everyone's discussion in a loud voice, "Silence, everyone present has been assembled, and next, the Sage Association is about to enter." ”
A loud voice resounded through the throne hall.
The gate opened again, led by the knights who had previously guarded the gate, and several elderly people entered. The old people were all dressed in costumes that were commensurate with their status and venue, and even from the movements and demeanor of their steps, you could feel the majesty and profound experience.
One of the most striking is the white-haired old man with a beard that almost mops the floor.
As for this person's information, Lan had seen it in the information he collected from Red Lotus last night. His name was McRotto, and he was quite famous for a while, and he had been the teacher of many princes, and of course now his students had gone to the Yellow Springs
For the rest of the people, Arashi compared the physical characteristics in the information with them one by one and identified their names.
When the sages were seated in the seats reserved for them on the left and right, Master Marcus, who was also standing on a small platform, stepped forward to the throne in the center and saluted to the people: "Then allow me, Marcus, the head of the Knights of the Guards, to have the audacity to preside over the proceedings." ”
"Well...... It's hard work. ”
Folding his hands in his seat, McCrove tucked his chin slightly and nodded in response.
"It happened about half a year ago, the royal blood led by the former king died one after another, and the situation of a country without a king is the biggest dilemma of the kingdom, especially for Lugnica, the pro-dragon kingdom, which is also closely related to the issue of the 'covenant'. ”
As for the covenant in the mouth of the head of Marx, Arashi also has some understanding from the information, and the reigning king of Farussai hundreds of years ago concluded a covenant with the divine dragon Polkenica.
"The dragon Polkenica is a dragon who is trustworthy and righteous, and even if the ages have changed, he still cares for the kingdom on the other side of the distant waterfall. ”
"Because of this, choose the next dragon shrine maiden, a shrine maiden who can exchange ideas with dragons and have the bearing of a king......
For the rare head of the group who started a long speech, Lan, who had already done his homework in advance, couldn't help but sigh, the information that was forced to be written down by Honglian yesterday was still clearly kept in his brain even if he slept for a while.
When Captain Marcos finally finished nagging about the importance and solemnity of this ceremony, his words changed, "According to the prophecy on the Dragon Calendar Stone: among the five people who may become the new leaders of the country, choose the next shrine maiden and make a covenant with the dragon. Marcus looked at the sage McRotto, who nodded, and then continued with a pause, "According to the prophecy, we have found the last Chosen One. ”
As he spoke, the hall resounded with a lot of discussion.
"Knight Rheinharut Van Astrea, out of the ranks!"
"Yes!" After a long wait, Rheinharut beside him took a step forward, walked to the red carpet in a grand manner, and saluted the four candidates, and then Marcos's words continued: "Glorious Sages, Rheinharut Van Astrea, who belongs to the Knights of the Guards, has come to report that the mission has been completed. The Dragon Shrine Maiden, the King's Candidate, and the last fifth man, have been found. ”
As the words of the Sword Master fell, the faces of many people in the field changed, and the closed door was once again pushed open from the outside.
A familiar figure slowly walked into everyone's sight.
"I elected him king. Rheinharut looked at the man walking on the red carpet, "Lady Firut." ”
