Chapter 298: Air and Undercurrents

The news of the new king's succession spread from the palace to the city like a whirlwind!

There was no shortage of noble children in the Royal Academy of Magic, so news of the royal palace quickly spread among the academy, and the news soon reached Green's ears.

"The Queen's abdication? The throne is inherited by the Queen's brother, Prince Dorne? At dinner time, Green heard the news from Merlin.

"Yes, it's a surprise, isn't it?" Merlin excitedly shared the information he had obtained not long ago with Green, "I was also surprised when I heard the news, after all, the queen is only in her twenties now, and she is at her most powerful, and she may become stronger in the future!" However, at this time, he suddenly chose to abdicate......"

Merlin said as he ate. Grimm, however, didn't listen to what he was saying. At this time, there was only one voice in Green's heart: That woman actually dared to do this!?

Green didn't expect Queen Rhea to choose such a drastic act! Is she crazy!? Is she going to die!?

Queen Rhea's wave of "don't die" operations made Green completely dumbfounded. You can never guess what a "don't die" person will do.

Green couldn't help but think of a news report he had read: a seller sold white flour as a "magic little powder" to a buyer, and the buyer chose to call the police after discovering that the "magic little powder" he bought back was actually white flour...... Then the police arrested the two parties who bought and sold the "magic little powder".

Green felt that he could fully understand the seller's mood at this time - it! There is still such an operation!?

In Green's eyes, Queen Rhea was almost a dead man. The struggle for power is quite cruel in any world, the new wolf king will expel the previous wolf king, and the lion king will bite the heirs of the previous lion king to death - even if Green does nothing, the abdicated Queen Rhea will definitely not end well!

However, the life and death of Queen Rhea is no longer what Green needs to care about now, for Green, the most important thing now is what kind of impact Queen Rhea's "mysterious operation" will have on him!

"The original plan has completely collapsed...... I might really need to run away. Green muttered.

"Huh? What did you say? Merlin looked at Green strangely.

"I was thinking, maybe I should go find someone to buy a little devil." Green spoke.

"Oh~ why don't you keep summoning?" Merlin spoke, "Your luck is quite good, if you summon a few more times, it is very likely to summon a little demon, why spend that unjust money?" ”

Because there's no time left......

The succession of the new king made Green smell an ominous smell. In Green's opinion, he has exposed a lot of flaws, and as long as the queen or the new king investigates a little, he will soon discover his flaws, and maybe the army that captures him is already halfway there.

Thinking of this, Green couldn't sit still.

After dinner, Green immediately took the crystals and money he earned during this time and went to find someone to buy the little devil.

Due to the recent popularity of demon summoning, many students have demon crystals in their hands, and some of the more wealthy students even summon them many times in a row! Among all the demons, the little devil can be regarded as a relatively valuable "small prize", and among those students who have been summoned many times, there are many lucky ones who have summoned multiple little devils.

After spending a lot of money, Green managed to buy a seal crystal with a little devil seal from a senior.

While Grimm was busy preparing to run, a banquet was being held in the palace.

Under the bright crystal lamp, a group of kingdom nobles are cupping and mingling, a scene of prosperity and peace, and the new king Dorne Catnari is surrounded by everyone, like the stars holding the moon.

In the corner by the window, Queen Rhea looked indifferently at the scene in the banquet hall.

As a "former" queen who abdicated, Queen Rhea lost not only the throne, but also the royal family's inheritance of the Noble Phantasm, and the Queen's own strength also dropped from the gold tier to the silver tier after the loss of the Phantasm. Rhea Katenari is no longer the dazzling Golden Queen, just an ordinary female knight - a female knight who looks a bit of an eyesore in the eyes of the new king.

"Do you regret it?" The chief general of the kingdom, "Hill Thunder", walked up to the queen with a large wine glass, and handed a glass of wine to Queen Rhea, who looked lonely.

"I don't regret it, it's just a little uncomfortable."

"Hey! ~ You actually took the initiative to give up the throne, you really did something that everyone expected. ”

"I'm no longer fit to continue to be king. If I stay on the throne, it will be detrimental to the country. ”

The dwarf looked at the queen in front of him with a complicated expression, and turned to look at the new king in the crowd: "I don't like this new king very much. "The dwarves don't care to speak ill of the king. As a Gold-tier battle master and the chief general of the kingdom, "Hill Thunder" does not need to give the king face at all.

Queen Rhea: "...... In the future, we will have a big war with the demons! I hope you will be able to help the king well. ”

"Huh? Haven't you always disliked him? The dwarf looked at Queen Rhea in surprise.

"Now that he has been recognized by the Bow of Inheritance, I believe he will be a good king."

"Hey! You humans are too superstitious to believe in the Noble Phantasm. The dwarf scoffed, "It takes blood, spirit, and will to inherit the Noble Phantasm. Being able to pass the test of the Noble Phantasm shows that he has an icy will, but that doesn't mean he's a wise king. ”

Queen Rhea smiled slightly: "Didn't you say the same about me back then?" ”

Dwarf: "Humph! ”

Just as the former queen and Hill Thunder were hiding in the corner and chatting, the new king in the crowd glanced at the former queen and the dwarven general hiding in the corner, and a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

What an eyesore......

"Hill Thunder" Folsky, the chief general of the kingdom and the commander of the military, his "Iron Wall Legion" is one of the three major legions of the kingdom. However, the veteran general, who was extremely powerful and had a heavy army, did not have the slightest respect for himself as the new king, and instead ran to curry favor with the previous queen, which made the new king Dorne feel very dissatisfied.

I am your king!

The banquet continued, and King Dorne quietly watched the corner where Queen Rhea was while chatting with the many nobles.

Halfway through the feast, King Dorne made an excuse and left the hall and returned to the inner court.

Compared to the bustle in the banquet hall, the inner court was much more deserted.

King Dorne brought his knights loyal to him to the Royal Library.

Inside the library, an elf is lying among the stacks of books, holding a book.

"Ahhh~ Little Dorne, is there anything you have to do here?" The elf smiled.

"Solomilile, I'm the king now!"

"It's not cute, you weren't like that when you were a kid."

"Humans are not like elves, we will grow up."

The elf raised his eyebrows: "Okay, Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" ”

"Tell me, Solomilile, what is the curse on Rhea?" King Dorne stared at the elves with indifferent eyes.

Faced with the king's inquiry, the elf blinked: "Didn't Rhea tell you?" ”

"I want to hear you tell me."

"Okay. Rhea is not an ordinary curse, but a special transformation that distorts even race and blood...... "The elf did not hesitate to introduce the situation of Queen Rhea to the king.

After listening to the elf's introduction, King Dorne squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "You haven't told me what the negative effects of this distorted transformation are. ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know." The elf spread his hands, "According to my analysis, Rhea's new bloodline seems to be very powerful, which can give her stronger recovery and strong magic resistance, and can also obtain magic from food, as for the negative effects...... At least I haven't found out yet. ”

"No negative effects? Do you think I'll believe it? ”

"Oh~ Your Majesty, I didn't say there were no negative effects, I just said I didn't find out. In fact, I'm curious too. Apparently, Rhea was hiding something. ”

King Dorne stared at the elf as if he wanted to see him through.

Facing the king's gaze, the elf looked calm.

"Do you choose to side with her, too?" The new king muttered in a low voice.

The elf was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly.

"I see." King Dorne turned and left the library.

Watching the departing new king, the elf frowned......
