Chapter 165: The Gray Crown
The Star Ring was apparently the first to react. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As one of the four great magisters, he pre-read a spell as soon as Noelbi lipsed out.
Then, after Xie Yan told me the meaning of the lip language, he took me and Noelle's hands and pulled them to his side.
"Star Ring Secondary Time Stop!"
A spherical ripple of mana spread out the moment the spell was chanted, and immediately after, everyone present stood still in their seats.
No, it's not just people.
As the spell says, time in this area has come to a complete standstill.
However, before I could react to the situation, the Star Ring violently dragged me and Noelle out of the tent and hid in a remote corner.
"Hah...... Hah......" Starring gasped.
As he breathed one after another, the spread of the time-stopping barrier was lifted.
"I'm sorry, but the secondary time stop only stops for 3 to 4 seconds, so I'll have to send you here." Starring's breathing was still rapid, and he leaned against a fence a little tired.
Noelle's eyes widened as he looked at the ring, as if he hadn't recovered from his actions.
"Time-stop spells! Spells are the highest level of spells! There are only a few people in the world who can use it, who the hell are you?! He said to the ring in a tone of surprise.
"Ah, don't worry about it so much, I'm a little tired from not eating right now, let me take a break." Starring buried her head deep in her thigh and waved her hand at Noelle.
Noelle understood that the person in front of him was a rare powerhouse, so he couldn't bother too much, so he could only give up.
"Noelle." I tapped him on the shoulder, trying to confirm my suspicions.
The little brother turned his head to look at me and nodded, and a pair of bright eyes signaled that I had something to say.
"What the hell do they mean, why are you telling me to run?" I single-handedly asked all the questions that represented the situation just now, as well as my guess, "Is it because of the racial dictatorship?" ”
Noelle gave me a strange look, "Racial dictatorship? What are you talking about? ”
"If it's not a racial dictatorship, then why are all of you leaders from the elves? And why did the new king mention 'humans'? "I threw out this question that I had been thinking about for a long time.
Noelle couldn't help but laugh as he listened to my question.
"If that's the case, it's fine." He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's a pity that the problem we are facing now is more serious than what kind of bullshit dictatorship you said." ”
"Warriors...... In other words, should I call you Lord Protector now? There was a bleak smile on his face, and the light in his eyes was not as bright as before.
Not a racial dictatorship?
Could it be that all my previous assumptions were wrong?
"That'...... What's going on here? "I'm completely confused, so I can only ask.
Noelle sighed, "Lord Protector, do you understand what your identity means?" ”
I shook my head.
After all, in my opinion, these three words are just a title.
"Then let me ask you, who was the national leader before the Wanyo Kingdom?" Noelle asked.
"Rin Slet." I don't think about it.
Noelle nodded, "Do you know who will be the first heir to his authority if Rinslet dies?" ”
The tone of this question...... Could it be ......
"Could it be me?" I froze for a moment.
Noelle closed his eyes and nodded again, "That's right, it's you, Lord Protector. ”
"But...... The new ruler is the elf. I pointed in the direction of the tent.
"That's the crux of the matter." Noelle's tone was a little helpless.
"When Rinslet died, you did not appear as the first in line to the throne, so the political group with the current new leader Moringovi as the core quickly seized power in the exile government and became the new head of the Manyo Kingdom." Noelle said, looking in the direction of the chief's tent, "Most of the people sitting there are members of that political group, of course, I'm not. ”
Heir?
That is to say...... What they are afraid of is that I will come back and seize power? "I asked this crucial question.
Noelle snapped her fingers, "That's right, because you, as the Lord Protector, can come back at any time to inherit Lord Rinslet's power if you want to, so they have made a rule for this. ”
"Rules?"
"Yes, a rule just for you." Noelle spread his hands.
"The main body of this rule is to prevent you from coming back to inherit the throne, and if anyone is found to have brought you back to Manyo Country, then they will not only do their best against you, but they will also consider the person who brought you back as your comrade...... That's why I'm with you now. ”
"Wait, wait." I held out my hands and motioned for him to stop, "But I have no interest in inheriting this exiled government." ”
"Huh." Noelle laughed dryly, "Maybe you think so, but those people don't think so." ”
"Because your very existence is the greatest threat to them."
"This ......" I stayed where I was, not knowing what to say.
Is this the so-called 'innocent and guilty'?
It feels like things are in a very awkward situation right now.
"Noelle, I ......"
Just as I was looking at Noelle, about to speak my thoughts, suddenly, my eyes went dark and my consciousness left my body.
This familiar feeling I've had before.
When things reappeared in front of my eyes, I saw an old fish-man.
"It's been a long time since we've seen you again." The chief's body floated in the void, a bacon-scented smile on his face.
"What are you doing here, Chief?!" I was instantly pulled back into my soul without warning, and I was naturally a little dissatisfied.
Netra Lague waved his hand, "Don't be angry, young man, I must have something important to summon you." ”
"Tell me something." I said a little angrily.
The chief giggled twice, "Then I'll go straight to the point." ”
"Long Night, what do you think of the position of leader of the Wanyo Country?" He swung his slimy body and began to pace around me.
Hearing this question, I was a little puzzled for a while, "What do you think?" I don't feel anything. ”
"Hmm...... Haven't you thought about inheriting this position? The chief asked as he walked slowly behind me.
I shook my head, "I really haven't thought about it. ”
"Do you think that those who usurped power are right?" The chief shifted his pace again, and the question was thrown again.
"Chief...... What do you mean by asking these questions? Sensing that he had something to say, I asked directly along with his topic.
"Hehehehehehe...... What do you mean? A few wrinkles spread across his face, revealing a smiling expression.
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
