"Is him again?"

Hearing Sindra's name, Jiang Yan's irritable mood calmed down a bit. Since it was the elder of the Dragon Domain who wanted to contact him, there must really be something important.

Jiang Yan's mind moved, and he accepted the communication request with the other party, and Sindra's old face immediately appeared in the window screen.

[It's a pleasure to see you again, Lord of Dreams. 】

Although the appearance of Jiang Yan's body is still the posture of a child under the age of eleven, the image he conveyed to the other party in the communication window is the image of adulthood that is directly simulated with mental power, so after Sindra saw Jiang Yan's posture in the communication window, she did not show any strange reaction.

"Sindra, Zos should have told you that I've been busy lately. And it's only been less than five days since the last communication, right?" Jiang Yan said to him with some dissatisfaction: "In this case, you still contact this seat, it must not be a trivial matter?"

[I'm sorry, but it's exactly as you expected.] Sindra smiled apologetically and bitterly, and then her face sank: [Your Excellency, there have been some unexpected changes regarding the token of the "Ethereal Relic Realm" that our clan agreed with you last time. 】

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

[There is an unexpected situation with the quota token held by the Rhines Kingdom.] Sindra explained helplessly, "Igosiru missed. 】

"Huh?!" Jiang Yan was slightly surprised: "Although Igosiru's strength has not exceeded the boundary of the Legendary Realm, it is almost too far from the strongest person on the Rheins side, but it represents your Dragon Domain, right?

[That's right. 】

Sindra nodded in acknowledgement, her face looking a little unpleasant.

As a country split from the empire, the royal family of the Rhines Kingdom was also protected by the Dragon Domain in the past era, and its ancestors were also a dragon bloodline inheritor. It's just that due to the disconnect in their dragon bloodline inheritance in the last two hundred years, the Dragon Domain has not invested too much energy in the main material realm because it is busy with the affairs of the "Ethereal Relic Realm", and finally there are third parties such as the Church Nation to obstruct it, which caused Rhines to rebel from the empire.

It can be said that the royal family of the contemporary Rhines Kingdom is no longer a dragonborn bloodline family that is closely related to the Dragon Domain.

But no matter what, the origin of Leynes has a very deep implication with the Dragon Domain, it stands to reason that the relationship between superiors and subordinates and the gap in strength have been placed there, and now the Dragon Domain is not involved in other things, and can already interfere with these human state forces in the main material world, if the Rhines royal family really knows each other, they should obediently obey the will of the Dragon Domain.

It was with this idea in mind that Igosiru would confidently go to Rhines and want to take those quota tokens directly from the other party.

Even for the sake of the Rhines royal family's strength is not bad and can be a good help, Igosiru has already made plans, if the Rhines royal family is knowledgeable enough about current affairs, he will not do anything, at most after asking the other party to take the initiative to return to the empire and hand over the quota token, he will not pursue their betrayal in the past hundred years.

But the reality turned out to be a big slap in the face of Igosiru.

Just five days ago, he went to the royal capital of the Rhines Kingdom alone, and went directly to the inner hall of the palace without alarming too many people, and met the current king of the Rhines in person, Jossia Rhines with the name of the "Blood Lion King".

After Igosiru explained his identity and purpose to King Rhines, King Rhines was surprised, but he did not refuse at first, but said that this kind of thing needed to be notified to the ancestors of the hermit before a decision could be made.

Josinya Rheins is also a Legendary Realm powerhouse, but his cultivation is similar to that of Emperor Weir, only the third and sixth rank.

Uh, no, to be exact, the same as the old Emperor Weir. As for now, because the Duragon Empire has become closer and closer to the Fantasy Realm, Emperor Will has also reaped huge benefits from it, and now the strength of that emperor has been raised to the third and seventh order.

The strength of the third-level and sixth-order Josinya was not seen by Igosiru. This king is obviously not the strongest person in the Rhine Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to keep the precious token of the admission quota of the "Ethereal Relic Realm", so he said that he has no right to call the shots, but there is nothing wrong with it.

With this in mind, Igosiru didn't pay much attention to Jossinya's behavior, and let him leave saying that he was going to the secret realm to invite the ancestors.

Igosiru is not afraid of falling into the trap, anyway, even if the Leynes ancestor has a bad intention, he is not afraid, because the other party's cultivation strength is at most about the same as him, as an elder of the dragon clan and the "dragon king" of the contemporary fire dragon clan, he really does not instigate any opponent at the level of the same cultivator.

But things turned out to be much more than Igosiru had expected.

Josinya did bring back that Rhines ancestor, and the other party's cultivation level was not beyond Igosiru's expectations, it was indeed a third-level ninth-order extreme realm at the same level as him.

His name is Peleo Rheins, and he used to be a strong man with a foreign surname recruited by the Grand Duke of Rheins more than a hundred years ago out of concern about the decline of his dragon bloodline, but after the death of the Duke of Rheins and the passing of the dukedom to him who changed his surname, he revealed his ambitions, and after decades of painstaking management of the Duke of Rhines's fiefdom, he actually chose to compete for the position of emperor of the Duragon Empire!

According to the theory that the Duragon Empire had pursued for thousands of years to put the strong first, Pelio Rhines felt that with his strength and talent, he should be qualified enough to sit on the throne of the emperor.

Because at the time when he chose to compete for the throne, he already had the absolute strength of the third and eighth orders, and he was less than a hundred years old, and in the environment at that time, the legendary high-level of the same level were basically older powerhouses who were more than two hundred years old. There was no doubt that Pelio Rhines, who had attained that kind of cultivation strength at that age, was indeed as talented as he thought.

At that time, the original successor to the throne of the Duragon Empire's royal family was only three or six ranks. In terms of prestige, the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne is also a little compared to Pelio, who has been running the Duke of Rhines for decades and has a good reputation among the people, so Pelio feels that he has a great success rate.

According to the tradition left by the ancestors of the Duragon Empire, the competition for the throne of the emperor was neither hereditary nor elected, but a 'fair' competition through major trials such as the 'Dragon God Festival', and it was not entirely based on bloodline, but on strength.

The royal clans or major aristocratic factions within the empire will elect their own representatives to participate in the competition during the competition for the throne of each emperor, and the competitors need to have a certain official status of the empire (roughly the imperial marquis or above) and must not be more than 100 years old. Later, these candidates will participate in a special trial event called the "Dragon King Matsuri", which is different from the usual "Dragon God Festival", and the one who competes with each other and shows their wisdom and strength in the trial, and finally emerges from the crowd will be the new emperor.

"Dragon King Sacrifice" TrialsGenerally speaking, even if the candidate does not have an excellent Dragonborn bloodline, they can also obtain it from the Dragons through the rewards of the trial, so the emperors of the Duragon Empire are basically dragonborns with excellent strength and bloodline for generations.

According to this method of competition, Pelio has a strong hope of winning the final victory with his own strength.

However, in fact, the result of Pelio's struggle for the throne was a failure.

It is true that the atmosphere of the Duragon Empire is to advocate the supremacy of the strong and the strong eat the strong, but this does not mean that the candidates for the position of emperor only need to look at the strength of cultivation. You must know that this country is supported by the Dragon Domain, and from the people to the nobles, they all have an extraordinary recognition of the power of the Dragonborn.

Compared to the enthroner of the Duragon royal family, Pelio has a very embarrassing shortcoming: he is not a Dragonborn inheritor, and his own bloodline is not even connected to the Dragonborn bloodline!

As a result, he tried to compete for the throne of the emperor, but was opposed by almost all aristocratic factions within the empire at that time. Because in the minds of those nobles, no matter how much the position of the Duragon royal family changes, it must be an internal struggle between them, the dragonborn inheritance family, and it is not the turn of Pelio, an outsider who is not even a 'dragonborn' and has no blood connection with the founding ancestors of the empire, to intervene!

Even if there have been people with weak dragonborn bloodlines who have participated in the "Dragon King Sacrifice" trial related to the struggle for the throne and won the trial, those candidates are at least from the major dragonborn families, and no matter how thin they are, they still have some dragonborn bloodline power. But there had never been an outsider like Pelio who didn't have the slightest dragonborn power.

As a result, with the acquiescence of the factions of all parties, in the trial of the "Dragon King Sacrifice" that was related to the struggle for the throne, the 'black box operation' appeared.

At that time, in addition to Pelio, an 'outsider', the candidate for the throne who was most likely to win the final victory of the "Dragon King Sacrifice" trial was a representative of the Duragon royal family at that time, who could also be regarded as a 'young genius', and also achieved a third-level and sixth-order cultivation at the age of 100: Alduin XI.

At that time, the candidates sent by other factions were much worse than this Alduin XI, so if it weren't for Pelio, who was killed halfway, the fruits of victory in that "Dragon God Sacrifice" trial should have been picked by him.

So, in order to deal with Peleo, the Duragon dragon nobles led by Alduin XI played a small trick.

In the trial, they directly used a secret treasure of the Zhenguo handed down by their ancestors, which was called "Dragon King Fury Horn", which was a quasi-fourth-level, 'semi-god'-level secret treasure that contained a part of the projection power of the fourth-level law.

Its power is enough to temporarily increase the user's combat power to the third-level and ninth-order legendary extreme realm!

Therefore, it is not surprising that at the critical moment of the duel between the two sides, Alduin XI, who increased his combat power with the help of the power of the "Dragon King's Angry Horn", directly defeated Pelio, won the victory fruit of the "Dragon King Festival" and successfully sat on the throne.

Seeing that he was only one step away from the throne, but he missed it, Pelio's anger and grief did not need to be mentioned.

Enraged, he protested to Alduin XI and the various nobles, questioning that Alduin XI had used the secret treasure of the town that did not belong to his strength to cheat in the 'fair' trial, and even appealed the protest to the Elder Yuan.

Yes, the Dragonlord's Horn is not the property of Alduin XI, because according to the secret information that Pelio had learned in advance, this demi-artifact-level secret treasure should be a talisman that will only be obtained after each Emperor Duragon ascends the throne.

It's just that this emperor's secret treasure has rarely been used by the Duragon Emperors in the past dynasties, so it has basically not been used passively, and its information is not public.

Pelio would have known about the Dragonlord's Horn, also because he had learned it from the mouth of the previous Grand Duke of Rhines.

It's a pity that Pelio's protests turned out to be in vain, and the Patriarch's House, which was established by the imperial family and the major old nobles, directly rejected his questioning, and said: The artifact secret treasure is also a part of personal strength, and it does not affect the legitimacy of the trial.

As for the "Dragon King's Angry Horn" being used in advance by Alduin XI, who was not yet the emperor at the time, in the trial competition, is it a violation?

Sorry, but the eligibility criteria for the use of "Dragonlord's Furyhorn" are just tacit rules among the nobles, not the proper laws of the Empire - so, no problem!

Hearing this explanation from the Elder's House, Pelio was naturally angry at that time.

Pelio, who was full of resentment, took this dissatisfaction with the imperial family and the major traditional nobles, and tried to be strong, and after decades, he actually used this momentum to make his cultivation go further, and he was promoted to the third and ninth ranks, and he had the strong strength to confront Alduin XI head-on even if he held the "Dragon King's Angry Horn", he would not fall into the disadvantage.

But even so, the result of the "Dragon King Festival" is obviously irrevocable.

Pelio didn't complain, but gathered strength, and then directly did something big that shocked the entire empire.

About 160 years ago, a civil strife suddenly broke out within the Duragon Empire, which led to instability and did not subside, and the Church took advantage of the situation to intervene and broke out a major conflict with the Empire, which led to great instability in the Empire at that time.

Pelio seized the weakest period of the empire at that time, and brazenly rebelled the entire Rhines from the rule of the empire, declaring that he would establish himself as the first "King of the Rhines", also known as the "Lionheart King".

The 'Lionheart King' Pelio, who had the strength of the third-level ninth-order extreme realm, had already reached a realm that was not much different from the powerhouse of the Wood Spirit Queen at that time, and basically it was unlikely that he would be able to take him unless a fourth-level powerhouse made a move, or a powerhouse of the same level who had a real fourth-order artifact secret treasure made a move.

At that time, the high-level of the empire was very angry, but there was no one who could suppress Pelio on the surface of the country, and the combat power of the Patriarchal House was basically controlled by the high-level combat power of the Holy Light Church. caused this situation, one has to wonder if the Lionheart King secretly colluded with the Holy Light Church, and the two joined forces to trap the empire.

At that time, the Dragon Domain did not intervene in this matter. Some people rumored that it was because the Dragon Domain was dissatisfied with the 'dark box operation' played by the imperial royal family and the major old nobles at that time, and some people said that Heaven secretly intervened.

What the actual situation is is not known to the general public.

However, the end result is that the kingdom of the Rhines was successfully established from that time and continues to live unharmed to this day.

Now, Jiang Yan suddenly heard that Igosiru had encountered the rumored legendary Lionheart King and missed it, and his curiosity and interest couldn't help but be raised at once.
