Judging from the opponent's magic energy fluctuations, the opponent should be a fifth-level magician!

If the other party is only level four, although it has also crossed a large level, after all, Kex still has the dragon's sigh and the power of the necromantic magician, and he still has the confidence to fight with the other party, but against the fifth-level magician, he has no bottom in his heart.

Kerry's emotions gradually calmed down, and he began to analyze the information he had just obtained through eavesdropping in his mind.

First of all, it can be determined that Viscount Yelena is definitely not simple, but the man who spoke to him could not deduce the relevant information because of insufficient information, and only knew that the other party was an intermediate magician, and his strength was stronger than himself.

What worries him the most is that it is His Highness in their mouths. Who is His Highness in their mouths?

Only the prince is qualified to be called His Royal Highness, could it be that Yelena is really behind a certain prince of the Sky Wolf Empire?

It's been a while since he came to the Sky Wolf Empire, and Kerry is naturally not idle, and some key information has been collected.

The current emperor of the Sirius Empire is named Upton Garfiri, known as the Iron Emperor, known for his cruelty and decisiveness.

But it is said that Upton Gafferi is already very old and at the end of his life, and he is already bedridden, and he is afraid that his life will not be long.

Upton Garfiri has only two sons, namely the eldest prince Sean and the second prince Zachary, Sean is more conservative and calm, while the second prince has shown unparalleled talent since he was a child, ambitious and has skills, like the iron-blooded emperor Upton Garfiry, and even surpassed.

The Sky Wolf Empire did not have the custom that the throne must be passed to the eldest son, as some countries in the Nine Nations Alliance did, but the emperor decided.

So in everyone's opinion, it will inevitably be the second prince Zachary who will inherit Upton Garfiri in the future, and even the second prince himself probably thinks so.

But the final result was beyond all expectations, the Iron Emperor Upton did not plan to pass on his position to the second prince who was more similar to his personality and style of acting, but planned to let the eldest prince Sean inherit the throne.

It stands to reason that Zachary naturally would not be willing to accept such an ending, but since Upton announced that the eldest prince Sean would ascend the throne, Zachary not only did not question his father's decision, but became much more low-key, living in seclusion, no longer the previous edge, as if he had fully accepted this result.

"Sure enough, the other party can't be so willing, and he has been making small moves behind his back·········"

Kerry groaned.

"If he ascends to the throne and obtains Corgi Rosen's research results, I'm afraid that a war between the Sirius Empire and the Akatsuki Empire will be inevitable. ”

If that kind of thing really spreads, the other party will have a terrifying army of magicians, imagine how desperate it would be when two first-level magicians of the two countries were fighting, but the opponent's first-level magicians suddenly cast a seventh-level magic.

Of course, the situation is certainly not so exaggerated, although I don't know the details, but he thinks that there should be certain limitations, but even if there are limitations, Corgi Rosen's research will make a huge gap in strength between the two countries.

The frequent wars between the two countries in the past few hundred years have already hurt both countries and need time to recuperate, so the current policy of the Akatsuki Empire is not to take the initiative to provoke the Sky Wolf Empire, unless it has the strength to defeat the other party in one fell swoop, it will not easily provoke a war.

No one likes war except madmen, and the victims of war are always soldiers and civilians. Kerrs wasn't crazy, and he wasn't a poor commoner not so long ago.

So, in this case, it is naturally impossible for Nexus to let it happen.

"It seems that I was right to come to Don Lanto City in the first place, but I didn't expect it to be related in the end. ”

There was a glint in Kerks' eyes, as if he had made a decision.

·········

The carriage sped through the streets and soon returned to the hotel.

Quex also ran into Pagtov, who also happened to have just returned from the dinner, and after a brief hello, he took Bertha back to the room.

"What just happened? I feel like there's a fluctuation of magical energy········"

Bertha hesitated, then asked.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry. ”

Nexus said casually, after all, it was useless for the other party to know, just worrying in vain.

Bertha didn't ask much, and the fact that Fox didn't tell her meant that she didn't need to know, she just needed to do her own thing, and she still knew that.

Back in his room, Fox opened the closet.

On top of the neatly folded black robe, a clown mask lay quietly with a funny smile on his face.

········

The capital of the Sirius Empire, Arthur City.

Deep in the palace.

The intricately carved doors open heavily and slowly.

A man who looked to be about forty years old, with a strong build, a calm temperament, and a beautiful costume, walked in.

It looked like a bedroom, but it was ridiculously large, and at the end of the room was a large bed with a golden curtain, and in it were many people, soldiers standing guards, and maids walking around.

"Your Highness. ”

As the man went, all the soldiers and maids saluted him respectfully.

The eldest prince Sean nodded slightly from time to time in response.

Before walking to the curtain, a somewhat weak voice came out: "Is it Sean?"

"Yes, Father. ”

Sean said respectfully.

"Ahem. The coughing sound came, accompanied by a burst of coughing, the curtain was pulled open by the people inside, and lying on the bed was a gray and haggard old man, whose body revealed a rotten aura, but through the wrinkles clearly visible on his face, he could vaguely see the rigid lines of his youth.

After lifting the curtain, the Iron Emperor Upton Gafferi sat up on his elbows on the bed, put the pillow up, and leaned back on it.

"Ahem, I called you this time mainly to tell you that when you go back and get ready, it's time for you to accept the inheritance ceremony, and I won't be able to last long. ”

"Father!" Sean looked disgruntled with grief on his face, and he didn't know if it was real or fake.

Upton waved his hand: "Everyone will have this day, it can't be avoided." ”

With that, he coughed violently again.

"Before the Inheritance Ceremony, you were already qualified to know some things, and that was the truth that only the successive emperors of the Heavenly Wolf Empire were qualified to know before they ascended the throne. ”

"The truth?"

Sean's face was full of doubt.

"yes, the truth. ”

Upton sighed, and then kicked out all the maids and soldiers in the room, and ordered that no one should enter during this time.

Seeing his father like this, Sean's expression also became solemn, and he had a hunch that what he heard next would subvert his cognition.

··········

Crunch.

The door reopened, the Grand Prince Sean stepped out of it, and the soldiers and maids, having received orders, returned to their rooms to continue their guard and service.

The eldest prince Sean's expression was a little dazed, and he seemed to be a little unable to believe what he had just heard.

Walking forward, in a trance, he collided with the person walking in front of him

"Big brother, are you okay?"

Sean suddenly woke up, and he was bumped into by a young man, a young man wearing a gorgeous robe and a delicate appearance, who was looking at Sean with concern on his face at the moment, with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing here, Zachary?"

Sean looked at his brother standing in front of him with a warm smile on his face, and his brow couldn't help but frown.

Although they are brothers, because they are in the Wang family and their personalities are not compatible, the relationship between the two is not very good.

"I'm here to visit my father, after all, I'm his son. ”

The smile on Zachary's face remained the same.

Sean frowned even more, the throne that should have belonged to him suddenly disappeared, would there be no resentment in his heart? Sean didn't believe that his younger brother would be so generous, after all, they grew up together, and the other party's character was still known.

"Father's physical condition is very bad, you should be careful when you speak. ”

Sean said in a deep voice, his tone not friendly.

"Of course, I won't bother my father for long. ”

But Zachary didn't seem to notice the unkindness in the other man's tone.

"Hmph. ”

Sean waved his sleeves and strode away, the words his father had just said to him still lingering in his head.

Is that all true?

Zachary turned his head to look at his brother and turned his head, still with a smile on his face.

Crunch.

The door opened again, and Zachary strode in to the luxurious bed, and before the curtain was reopened, he saw Upton Gafiri lying on the bed, gasping slightly.

"Are you finally here? You haven't seen me since I announced that I would pass the throne to your eldest brother. ”

Upton Garfiri opened his eyes, "Are you resentful of me?"

There was a long silence.

"Why?"

Zachary asked suddenly, with no anger or resentment on his face, only a pool of calm.

"I'm supposed to be the right person, isn't it? You've been the favorite since I was a child, and you have high hopes for me. ”

"yes, that's what I thought. Upton Garfiri sighed, "I was overjoyed to find out that you and I were so similar, and thought that God had given me a perfect heir." ”

"Then why not me?"

"Because I later found out that you are not the same as me, that you are far more cruel and crazy and ambitious than I am. ”

"Isn't that exactly what you expected?"

"No, your madness will only lead the empire into the abyss. ”

Upton Garfiri looked directly at Zachary.

"So I'd rather choose your big brother. ”

Zachary also looked at Upton Garfiri without shying away from it, looking at his gray face, crisscrossing wrinkles, his eyes were no longer bright, but full of cloudiness, and he would pant heavily when he spoke.

The man who once stomped his feet and the entire empire trembled is now so embarrassed.

Even the legendary powerhouse can't escape death, no matter how strong he was before, he can't escape the fate of decay and old age.

Except for the legendary gods who ascended to the throne.

Upton Gafferi closed his eyes again and coughed violently.

He watched silently, then silently turned away.

"Has the weakening of your strength made your character weaker? ”

Zachary muttered softly.

The gate was reopened.

"If the former Iron and Blood Emperor had made up his mind to let his eldest brother succeed to the throne, he wouldn't leave me a chance, right?"

He stared at the intricate pattern on the door, his eyes deep.

"You are old, Your Majesty. ”
