Chapter 618: Turning Point and Saving People
Odin put Charles alongside Victoria and Joanna, and asked the important ministers to witness that unless Charles buried the scandal after his death, even if Odin was defeated and died on the spot, he could arrange for someone to spread the scandal.
And these important ministers are ready-made witnesses, and the important ministers who witnessed this scene will not allow Charles to ascend to the throne even for their own protection.
Odin's various layouts, deliberately destroying Charles, this is not a normal way to deal with the contenders for the throne, but Odin will avenge his children, and his revenge and psychological torture against the emperor are already obvious, and the culprit who has made Odin's situation drastic in just two months is not only the emperor and Charles, but also Lin An, the fuse.
Lin An suddenly thought of the previous Bobot. George's vague words, she suddenly realized that Odin hadn't actually forgotten about her, but it was obvious that the people of the Mage Tower had miscalculated her current strength.
"Charles is dead." Lin An said suddenly.
"I'm afraid...... And not only Charles. ”
Lancet hesitated for a moment, and said in a slightly low voice, "Being poisoned by Odin and dying is completely different from being abandoned and dying in His Majesty's choice, which is equivalent to His Majesty killing his son with his own hands. Odin didn't know what to do, he was in the position of His Majesty, and he couldn't be led away by Odin, even if the price he paid for it was the death of both sons at the same time. ”
Lin An was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he understood what Lancet meant:
From the very beginning, it was not at all a question of which son to save, but between the son and the throne. The Emperor would not be willing to hand over the handle to Odin, so he could not make a choice.
It's not that Lin An can't think of this, it's just that she hasn't become the supreme power after all, so she can't understand and think from the perspective of this kind of person. Only those who are also in power can understand their thinking patterns.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Lanster, but Lanster was sensitive at this time, as if he could guess what Lin An was thinking, looked at her, his handsome face showed a trace of tenderness, and said softly but firmly:
"I'm not going to be like that."
……
Half a quarter of an hour, not long, not short.
The Emperor and Odin spoke intermittently during this time. Lin An could feel the emperor's mood at this time. Even his voice was hoarse and much slower. gasped a few times after saying a few words, as if she had aged twenty years compared to the emperor who Lin An had seen in the palace more than a month ago with great authority and almost pushed her into a desperate situation.
But it's like verifying Ranster's words. The emperor never made a choice.
In an instant, most of the time passed, and just when Lin An thought that Lenster's words had come true, the emperor suddenly spoke:
"Even if you kill Charles and Douglas, I will not be able to pass the throne to you-not because there are still Byron and Yorkiadan, but because of your present temperament, you are not able to bear the burden of a prosperous Merlin, and I do not regret my wavering in you before, but I am glad that I found it early, so that you can expose this stubborn and crazy nature, otherwise I am afraid that after my death. You will destroy the thousand-year-old foundation laid by my Merlin ancestors!
Therefore, you don't have to hope that I will be forced to pass on the throne to you, you have been thinking about it for so long, I am afraid that you also have someone around Yokyadan, your sisters are not enough to inherit the throne, I guess you didn't pay attention to it, but even if all my sons die, only you are left, I would rather hand over the throne to Rodier than allow a madman who tried to kill his brother and kill his father to force the palace to ascend the throne! ”
The emperor's voice was resolute, obviously he had already made up his mind, and from the frustration of the tone of those words, Lin An could hear the firmness in it, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart:
Unexpectedly, in the emperor's mind, Merlin's prosperous inheritance could even be more important than that of his heirs.
This is completely contrary to the bloodline theory of the nobility, you must know that for the vast majority of nobles, if the heirs are cut off, then no matter how glorious the inherited title family is, it has nothing to do with them, such as the troubled hero who was entangled with the Dark Daughter in the second life of reincarnation, which is one of the representatives.
This is also the common idea of the vast majority of men in a patriarchal society, and the importance of the lineage of offspring in the inheritance of the nobility is irreplaceable.
Without waiting for Lin An to continue thinking, Odin sneered and said coldly:
"My dear father, having been your son for so many years, of course I know your thoughts best - from the very beginning of the palace rebellion, I thought that you would pass on to me."
Success is also Merlin, defeat is also Merlin.
Odin kidnapped Merlin's power to him, causing the emperor to be jealous, but because of Merlin's thousand-year-old foundation, he knew from the beginning that when all his plans surfaced, the emperor would never be forced to pass on the throne for Merlin's sake.
“…… Do you really want to die with everyone and destroy the whole of Merlin! The Emperor's angry voice came from the brass pipe.
At the same time, Lancet's brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Anxin's heart, and a trace of bad premonition arose in his heart, but at this time, Odin's voice had already come:
"If Saxon is the emperor's grandson and I am the regent, then the Merlin foundation that you value will not be shaken in the slightest, and those ministers will not need to sway left and right.
In the land of ancestral origin, let the old immortals of the Mage Tower enter it once, what can it be, the 'pentagram' has been cultivating below for so long, and only Melissa has become a half-step legend, and there is not a single legendary powerhouse - as for my dear brother Charles, hehe, let him live, he will suffer more than death. ”
"Are you willing to give up the throne......" The emperor was obviously surprised, paused, and then vetoed, "No, what is the difference between making you regent and your accession to the throne!" ”
The emperor did not consider the possibility of Saxon inheriting the throne, but it must be after Odin's death and the Saxon can inherit Odin's popularity, otherwise after his death, the two kings will stand side by side, and Merlin will be even more turbulent.
"It's okay if I want to give up my inheritance," Odin threw out another bait and said slowly, "provided that Ann . . . Lynn to me. ”
Lin An and Lancet breathed as soon as they breathed, and the emperor's side fell silent.
didn't know what they were talking about, but she could feel the change in the atmosphere, and she looked up alertly, letting out a low growl in her throat.
Lancet grabbed Lin An, "Let's go." ”
"It's useless, the Azure Spear is indeed here, and we are in his domain." Lin Andai lowered her eyebrows slightly and then let go, and calmness flashed in her eyes.
There is also the Azure Order, the emperor will not know that he can't use this to make the Azure Spear shot, not to mention, the emperor has not made a decision, and it is not yet the worst time.
"Time is running out, if you don't make a decision early, my dear third and fourth brothers may not survive." Odin reminded leisurely.
The emperor was breathless, "No...... Quiet. Lin has the blood of the third generation, and if Merlin wants to agree to the mainland, there must be a legendary powerhouse related to Merlin-"
Lin An didn't continue to listen, his eyes flashed, he raised his head and suddenly said into the air:
"Your Majesty, please send me over as you wish, otherwise it will be too late for the poison."
The thousand-year-old fox didn't live in vain, and this time it was counted again.
There was a hehe laugh in the wind, and surprise flashed in Ranster's eyes, only to see that as soon as Lin An's words fell, his whole body was covered with a thin layer of blue light, and in the next second, the whole person had disappeared in place.
Titi only slowed down and roared, and leaped over, and the shadow lynx also stood up suddenly, but halfway through the statue, the statue was stopped, and a middle-aged man's voice comforted briskly:
"Be obedient, borrow your little girl and come back with a use......"
……
Lin An felt that he was being enveloped in the air, as if he had turned into the wind, but in the blink of an eye, the scene had changed in front of him.
Princess Joanna's screams and the chaotic voices of others filled his eardrums, Lin An didn't look at anyone, and saw Charles at a glance, his right hand and two fingers were raised, pointing to the center of his eyebrows, and a low female voice with strange power said:
"Shenwen. Proverbs-"
The emerald green oak branches flew out, the golden divine text spread from the center of the eyebrows, and the spiritual power quickly locked on Charles, an emerald green oak seed shattered in the air, and Lin An waved the oak branch:
"Purify!"
Before anyone could stop it, a pale golden glow enveloped Charles.
The soft light made the onlookers feel refreshed for a while, and the anxious mood couldn't help but relax, Joanna, who couldn't stop banging her head against the wall in the corner, was relieved, and suddenly fell asleep, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Charles, who was the recipient, involuntarily spit out a mouthful of black blood, and a trace of black-gray smoke came out of the top of his head, mixed with the pale golden purifying light.
The magic didn't last long, seeing that the black and gray smoke mixed with the purifying light no longer appeared, Lin An stopped outputting divine power, and without waiting for her to signal, the blue light was wrapped again, and she came to Douglas's room.
Douglas hadn't woken up yet, Lin An still performed the same spell, Douglas on the bed whispered, turned over and continued to sleep, and laughed in his dream.
Set up a silent enchantment, Lin An said to the air: "Your Majesty, where is Odin!" ”
The voice in the wind muttered, "His Majesty the Emperor will not hand over Odin to you." ”
"The emperor really didn't kill him." Lin An raised his eyebrows.
Azure Spear: "......" Ouch, I said I missed my mouth.
"It seems that the emperor really intends to pass the throne to the Saxons, and the emperor does not kill Odin, then Odin may soon 'die unexpectedly'."
Odin's move is really a stroke of genius, he must have arranged a back hand, and passed on the power and connections in his hands to the Saxon, in the case that Charles is out of the game, and the remaining three princes have their own shortcomings, Saxon may not be a suitable candidate in the emperor's opinion.
Lin An calculated in ten millions, but he didn't think that Odin's palace change was not for the throne, otherwise when he used Charles's captain of the guard, he should have added a lot of force to let him assassinate him.
