Chapter 1693: The Beginning of the King's Election (Super Goo Meow Evolving)
The journey to the council chamber was not long, but almost all of them looked horrified when they saw Amilia.
It's no wonder, after all, the story of the jealous witch is widely spread in this country, and even the remote place where Emilia lives knows what the jealous witch looks like, and it is naturally impossible for people here not to know about it.
In the past, these gazes might have made Emilia feel uncomfortable, but now, although her expression was still a little stiff, she was able to walk forward with ease.
And the reason why everyone looks at Emilia this way, of course, is not only because of herself, but also because of the squareness behind her. At the moment, Fang Zheng was not wearing a noble dress as usual, but wearing the armor of the immortal team, carrying a pitch-black sword behind his back, a silver short sword hanging from his waist, wearing a triangular hat, and a bright red scarf covering half of his face.
Subsequently, the gate opened.
As the door opened, the civil and military officials in the council hall also turned their heads, and after seeing Emilia and Fangzheng, they all showed irrepressible surprise.
"It's ........."
"Why is the half-demon here?"
"Rheinharut, what the hell is this joke!"
"It's not a joke, guys."
In the face of the angry questioning of the civil officials, Rheinharut appeared very calm.
"That's what I'm talking about as a candidate for the last king."
"Stop talking nonsense, half-demon, half-demon, how can half-demon be a candidate for the king's election?"
"This is a blasphemy against Lugnica! It is the blasphemy of the fathers and the fathers! β
"Not only did you bring the little devils in the slums, but now you also provoke the half-demons? Rheinharut, have you lost your mind!? β
The civil officials blamed Rheinharut one after another, while Fang Zheng smiled and nodded his chin.
"See? Emilia, this is the wailing of the defeated dogs, do you know why these people bark so loudly? Because they know that they can't do anything, they can't change anything, they can only bark like wild dogs. β
"What did you say?!"
For the others, Fang Zheng's words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly detonating the entire council room.
"This is the Holy Council of the King's Election, and you dare to speak out here!?"
"Divine, this child's trick?"
Fang Zheng spread his hands and pursed his lips.
"Like I said, you can't do anything, you're not even a participant, you're just a spectator to witness, what can you do?"
"Why do you say that? How could a half-demon, a half-demon, be eligible to participate in the King's Election .........!? β
"Amilia."
Fang Zheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with these wild dogs, just snorted lightly, and then Emilia raised her right hand, and then saw that in the center of her palm, the badge emitted a soft glow.
And at this moment, the noise in the original hall disappeared almost instantly, as if those people were stuck in their throats. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise as they stared at the badge in Emilia's hand.
"You can roll around here, coquettish, yell, cry, whatever you want? But you can't change the fact that Emilia is the chosen shrine maiden. Defy? If you are not convinced, go to Polkenny and ask why it chose Emilia as the dragon witch, you have the ability to complain to Polkenny, complain that the dragon is old and dizzy, and actually choose a half-elf to be the king's alternate, this is a blasphemy against Luganica, you go and ask Polkenny to change people, protest against it, insult it? β
Fang Zheng's contemptuous taunts echoed in the council chamber, but these civil officials turned pale and couldn't say a word.
Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Emilia.
"Look, a group of cowards who don't have the courage to vent their violence on those who won't resist, I said Rheinharut, you're too good a person, if anyone dares to talk to me like that, I'll go up and cut it down, you're the first knight of the kingdom, do something about the first knight's behavior, okay?"
"That is to say, you were pointed at your nose and scolded and didn't reply, I felt ashamed to death when I saw it!"
At this time, Firut also complained, before Emilia came in, she was the target of the ministers, and Firut was so angry that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and clean up the bastards. However, Rheinharut stood by and refused to let her do it.........
Sure enough, it would have been nice to let my little brother be my knight at the beginning.
"Shut up!"
At this time, a civil official suddenly rushed out, pointing at Fang Zheng with a red face.
"This is Luganica's palace, where is your place to speak, don't think you βββββ"
No one knew what he wanted to say, because the next moment, everyone saw the civil official's head fly high and then fall to the ground. His headless body shook from side to side twice, and then he fell to the ground with a "bang", blood splattered out, and even stained the clothes of the other ministers on the side.
"Who allowed you to speak at me?"
Fang Zheng snorted lightly and narrowed his eyes.
"Sure enough, wild dogs just have to be educated well to understand what politeness is."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Fang Zheng changed.
They really didn't expect that the other party would really dare to kill people in public in Lugnica's palace, in this council chamber!
"What I said before, it seems that you didn't take it to heart."
Fang Zheng patted his body with no dust at all.
"Now I think, you should remember? Now, I'll see who else? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, in the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, everyone turned their heads one after another, and at this time, a voice sounded.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng, aren't you going too far?"
This time it was none other than Kurxiu, who was pressing the hilt of her sword with one hand and looking at Fang Zheng with a frown.
"No, I warned them once before, and I knocked on a piece of your territory as a warning, but now it seems that they may not care about my warnings at all, and there is a limit to my patience."
Saying this, Fang Zheng stared at Kurxiu.
"I gave them a chance, and since they didn't believe that I really dared to kill them, then I had to let them experience it for themselvesβββ he made a choice, and he had to bear the consequences."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone's expressions were a little distorted, indeed, although Fang Zheng had threatened them before, but at that time, they just thought that the other party was just saying cruel things. Although in the end, the Founder did defeat Rheinharut, and they also ceded a territory. But at that time, for everyone, it was more like a consideration that they did not want to be enemies of the strong, and in their opinion, no matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible to be an enemy of a country.
But now, the still convulsing corpse lying on the ground has proven them wrong.
"Alright, that's it."
At this moment, a calm and old voice sounded, breaking the dead silence in the council chamber.
"Now that we've got all the people here, let's get to the point of getting moving."
The representative of the Society of the Magi, McRotov, seemed to completely ignore the unfortunate man who died below, and continued to preside over the meeting as if nothing had happened, while the others turned their heads as if nothing had happened, while the guards silently walked up and removed the corpse, and soon everything was back to normal.
"There were originally two topics for today, but now through Dragon Ball, it can be confirmed that all five of them present have the qualifications of candidates, so the first topic is over, and then the second topic is βββ who can become the king. After all, although the Dragon Calendar Stone states that five candidates will be gathered, there is no specific selection method, so in order to decide on this issue, let's first ask the candidates about their consciousness. β
Hearing this, Emilia blinked curiously.
"It's like talking to Mailu........."
"The policy agenda, this is all necessary."
"So first............ Master Kursius, and her knight Felix. Argyle. β
Hearing the call, Kurxiu walked out with the cat-eared pseudo-lady beside herβββ sure enough, no matter how many times she watched it, this combination made Fang Zheng feel awkward.
"Candidates for the throne, Duke Karsten in charge, Kursiu. Karlsten. This is my knight, Felix. Argyle. β
"Then Master Kurshu, please explain your thoughts."
"Okay."
Kursius nodded at McRotov's words, and she looked around.
"I know very well what you expect from me when I have the opportunity to take the throne, the Karlsten family has a deep relationship with the royal family, and has always had influence on national politics......... That's right, right? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Kurxiu's words, many people present nodded approvingly, and Fang Zheng also felt that this was normal, and the important thing in politics was not change, but stability. For the ruling class, this rotation of the throne is at best a smooth transition, and at worst it is a total overthrow. For now, Kursius is clearly the most favored of them all.
Not to mention that she also has the merit of exterminating the beluga whale.
"But I'm sorry, I'm going to tell you that I can't."
However, the next moment, Kurxiu's speech immediately changed the atmosphere in the entire council hall, and even became more solemn than when Fang Zheng killed that official just now. Many people were stunned and looked at Kurxiu in surprise, completely unaware of why she said this.
In the face of the other people's gazes, Kurxiu was not moved at all, but continued to speak.
"The dragon kingdom Lugnica βββ protected by the alliance with the dragon in the past, and built a prosperous nation, and all crises will be avoided under the protection of the dragon. In the midst of war, it can burn down enemy countries with just breath, it can be cured if there is a plague, and it can be blessed with a good harvest in the event of a famine......... Isn't it shameful? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
As Kursius spoke, the atmosphere in the council chamber became more and more shaken.
"Especially after watching His Excellency Fang Zheng's actions just now, I have become more and more firm in this belief."
With that, Kurtius looked at Fang Zheng again.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng."
"Huh?"
"Why did you kill that person just now? He's a nobleman anyway, isn't he? But to you, he doesn't seem worth mentioning. β
"Nonsense."
Fang Zheng snorted softly.
"One of the people here counts as one, aren't they all Polkenny's dogs? If you want to talk to me on an equal footing, Polkenny himself is about the same, and his dog still dares to bark at me, isn't this looking for death? β
"Bold!"
"It's disrespectful to the dragon..............."
This time, although Fang Zheng's words caused another wave of dissatisfied complaints, it may be a lesson from the past, and no one dared to stand up and die.
"That's it."
Kursius shook his head.
"No one looks down on us, Lugnica is a big country, but we haven't been able to get the respect and status we want, why is that? Why don't you think about it? And, as His Excellency Founder said, he has the power to kill anyone present, so does this indicate a crisis in the kingdom? Will Shenlong help? β
"Now that the contract has been made, the dragon will definitely not turn a blind eye to us!"
"That's what I'm worried about, taking the Dragon Calendar Stone too seriously, and once I encounter something that I can't handle in the face of the dragon and the prophecy board, I'm immediately helpless........."
Speaking of this, Kurxiu couldn't help but think of what Fang Zheng said during the crusade against Moby Dick, if he really killed Polkenny, would the people of this country avenge the dragon, or kneel down and beg him to protect this country?
Founder is pretty sure it's the latter.
In fact, Kurtius believed it would be the latter.
"If there is no dragon to protect it to be destroyed, then this kind of kingdom is better than destruction, excessive favor will produce stagnation, stagnation will bring depravity, depravity will sound the death knell, I think so."
In the face of Kursiu's unexpected speech, the ministers' faces turned pale.
"You, do you mean to destroy the country?"
"Of course not, if there is no dragon, we will perish, then as long as we wait to become a dragon. Everything that the kingdom has relied on so far is supposed to be borne by the king and the whole people. Therefore, when I become king, I will ask the dragon to forget the covenant that has lasted to this day, because Lugnica, the pro-dragon kingdom, is not a dragon's, but we wait. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, no one spoke again, and some even showed a pensive expression. Indeed, at first glance, Kurxiu's words are simply a subversion of tradition, but if you think about it carefully, what she said is not wrong, as Fang Zheng showed before, everyone has no way to take him, they can only hope for the dragon, but what if the dragon can't do anything about him?
And, why does the other side look down on them? The reason is simple, although they don't want to admit Fangzheng's statement, but ......... They still have to admit that this is actually the truth.
If Lugnica would perish without the protection of the dragon, then it is only natural that she will be looked down upon by others, just like a pet that does not know how to hunt without its owner.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall.
It was only after a few moments that McRotov's voice sounded again.
"So, go ahead."
