Chapter 13: It's a Conspiracy! (c)
At this time, the Royal Square was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of onlookers, which shows that this Jiawen III is deeply loved by the people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe stood on a high platform built of rough stones in the middle of the square, his sharp eyes swept over the people in the audience, and his face was also full of smiles at this time: "Thank you all for coming to the venue this time, I am very happy, today is an important day in the history of Demacia, I think I also obtained the right to govern the country from my brother today, today is the ceremony of my eldest son Gavin Carr and second son Gavin Gattuso, which will be held in front of everyone fairly, justly and openly!" β
"Good! Good! Long live Emperor Gavin! Long live the Emperor! β
"Hooray! Banzai! β
As soon as Jiawen III's voice fell, the sound wave of chanting long live also hit, one after another, and this face was shocking.
"Now, please wait a while, the royal guard will bring you wine, and when the time for the preparation of a stick of incense is up, the ceremony will officially begin!" Govin III smiled on stage.
"This Jiawen III really has a set, and going to Earth to be the president may be a manufacturable material." Zhao Xin finally squeezed in, Jiawen III had already finished speaking and rested, and the royal guards gave the wine one by one, "Here, here, two glasses!" β
"Minors are not allowed to drink, there is ink grass juice here, give." The royal guard looked at Zhao Xin, who was a head shorter than him, shook his head, and handed out two glasses of black juice.
Ink grass juice is the most common drink in the Valoran continent, especially in Demacia, and is intended for minors.
Zhao Xin muttered, Lao Tzu is older than you for fifteen years without adding this, and he is still underage. However, he still obediently took the ink grass juice, there are so many royal guards here, making trouble is boring for himself, and the task has not been completed, and the 200,000 gold coins have not yet arrived.
"Give." Zhao Xin handed Galen a glass of ink grass juice.
Galen waved his hand: "I don't drink, you can drink it yourself, there are too many people here, find a place with relatively few people to hand over the task and then watch the excitement, that box can't fit here." β
"Oh." Zhao Xin nodded, drank the ink grass juice in one gulp, and handed the empty cup back to the royal guard. The ink grass juice is the same as cola, and after two cups of belly, Zhao Xin's lower abdomen bulges slightly.
Galen and Zhao Xin walked through the crowd, in fact, there is no place with few people here, the sealing ceremony is almost the biggest event in Demacia, and the royal square, where vendors were not allowed to do business, is also open at this time, and stalls selling things can be seen everywhere.
"There it is." Zhao Xin found a place where there were relatively few people, and there was a drink stall. Zhao Xin was puzzled, why was this person so stupid, there was a drink delivery at the sealing ceremony, and he also came to set up a stall.
Galen nodded and said yes, they are not terrorists anyway, they can complete the task there, but the box is still quite weighty, and it can't fit in a crowded place.
Zhao Xin's fingers moved lightly, and there was a wave of spatial fluctuations, and the bronze box appeared.
"Now we're done." Zhao Xin couldn't wait to take out the gold card, which was no longer three silver-white straight lines, but twenty-three straight lines, which meant that there were 230,000 gold coins saved in it.
"Hehe, 230,000 is here! Let's go, go see the excitement. With that, Zhao Xin rushed towards the center of the square.
"This guy." Galen smiled helplessly, then followed, and when he left, he subconsciously glanced at the bronze box, and the strange patterns on it disappeared!
"Why is this box different from when it arrived?" Galen had some doubts in his heart.
"Hey, come here!" Zhao Xin beckoned at Galen.
"Oh, right away." Galen Yaoyao's head didn't think about it again, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.
The time for a stick of incense has long passed, and Jiawen III sat on the imperial chair of the original stone platform at this time, and said in a straight voice: "The time has come, the ceremony has officially begun!" β
"Second prince, come on! Come on! We γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
The deafening shouts sounded again, and two young men in black armor and white armor jumped up from the stage, looked around, and then both knelt down to Jiawen III, and shouted respectfully: "Sons see the father, long live the father!" β
"Get up." King Jiawen III waved his hand and motioned for them to get up, "You also know the rules of the ceremony, there are three in total, as long as you win two of them, you can be crowned crown prince and inherit my throne in the future." β
"Erchen understands." The eldest prince, Gavin Karl, who was dressed in white armor, glanced at his younger brother and replied respectfully to Gavin III.
"Understood." The second prince, Gavin Gattuso, didn't care too much about etiquette, just nodded lightly, indicating that he knew.
Jiawen III knew that his second son was informal, and he didn't pursue it much, but just whispered to the minister beside him: "Announce the content of the first item." β
The minister next to him bowed slightly, took a step forward, unveiled the imperial edict, and said loudly: "The first competition of the sealing ceremony, the strategic strategy, that is, His Majesty personally wrote the question, and the two princes answered according to the requirements of the question. β
"Understood." The eldest prince seems to have a lot of confidence in himself.
"Well, here are the questions," said Gavin III, pondering, "if Noxus marches to attack us along the Sea of Conquest, as a wise commander, you should protect your homeland and protect your people, and if you were the general of the army at that time, how would you deal with it?" β
The eldest prince was slightly stunned, and then stared at the smiling minister and frowned, this is completely different from the answer to the question he bought, the reason why he was confident before was because he knew the answer to the question, how could this γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» question be different!
Jiawen III looked at the reaction of the eldest prince, and his heart was slightly cold, he had actually gotten the rumor a long time ago, saying that the eldest prince was trying to cheat, and he didn't believe it at first, but today he temporarily changed the question and tried it, which was to test the truth of the rumors.
"Each of you only has one chance to answer the question, so think twice when answering the question, and if the first person to answer the question has a full score, then the next person does not have to answer the question, can there be any objection to the rules of this ancestor?"
"Nope." Both of them shook their heads, this way of answering questions was left by their ancestors, and no one had ever objected, and they were naturally no exception.
Jiawen III nodded, and glanced at the two of them: "Then which one of you comes first?" β
The eldest prince thought secretly, and asked the second prince to answer first? It is definitely impossible to get a perfect score in his appearance, so it is better to let him answer first, and then fill in the complete form on this basis, so that it will be easy to win.
After the wishful thinking was made, the eldest prince Gavin Karl bowed his head slightly and said: "Father, the elder brother should let the younger brother go, then let Gattuso go first." β
"Since the royal brother has said so, I can't shirk it, so I'm not welcome." Without waiting for Gavin III to answer, the second prince Gavin Gattuso spoke, "In March, the coastal area of Demacia is bitterly cold, and our allied Sea Clan is weak, so Noxus will attack at this time, but they are not good at keeping out the cold, if they attack with great momentum at this time, in the opinion of the ministers, it must be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Noxus is good at land warfare, when we send troops along the coast, they will definitely attack us through the Twisted Jungle, so I will send troops to guard the junction between the Twisted Jungle and us, Then send some of the soldiers to break up their feintsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Someone in the audience nodded in approval, and Zhao Xin also seemed to understand it, and said to Galen: "You say, is this Gavin Gattuso right?" β
Galen hadn't studied the war book either, so he didn't know either, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
