Chapter 161: Coup d'état

"Elder Nopa? What's the matter? Looking at Elder Nopa standing at the door, Xia Lu was slightly startled, and asked at the same time, after all, the other party is an elder of the Pharmacists Guild, and he is not even a core member.

"I forgot to hand over something to Lin Chen, you can help me bring it over, I have something else to do, and I can't be separated", looking at Xia Lu, Elder Nopa said lightly, in front of an ordinary member, as an elder of the Pharmacists Guild, Nopa naturally had to put on a posture of not being angry.

"Well, I know ......", hearing Elder Nopa's words, Xia Lu nodded and said, and then followed Elder Nopa over.

Coming to Elder Nopa's pharmacy room, Elder Nopa picked up a pillow-sized package and handed it to Xia Lu, "Please help me hand over this thing to Lin Chen, something very important, don't let anyone see the things inside, including you, you know?" ”。

Looking at the serious look on Elder Nopa's face, although Xia Lu was a little puzzled, since it was an important thing, why did he give it to himself to bring it? However, Xia Lu didn't think about it so much, nodded and took the package, Xia Lu turned around and left, walking in the direction of the square.

"My lord, do you want to do it?" Just as Xia Lu left Elder Nopa's pharmacy room, a shadow appeared next to Elder Nopa, and asked with his head down.

"Well, it's almost, let's do it......", nodding, Elder Nopa's eyes were filled with a cold light, and he spoke, and as Elder Nopa's words fell, the black figure nodded, and slowly disappeared into shape.

"Bang!" Holding the package handed over to him by Elder Nopa, Xia Lu rushed towards the direction of the square, however, at this time, suddenly Xia Lu felt a wave of elemental fluctuations, and then, his body jumped away with a reflex, and a water ball smashed into the ground in front of Xia Lu, leaving a bowl-sized pit on the ground of the bluestone slab.

"Who are you? What do you want? Turning around, looking at a man holding a magic wand behind him, Xia Lu was secretly shocked in his heart, and shouted angrily at the same time, this is the Apothecary Guild, and there are still people who dare to go wild here? In the Apothecary Guild, Xia Lu really didn't even think about this.

"The element of water, the one who is good, the blade of the law, destroys and kills all things, the killer, turns into a cold earth-shattering blade, fifth-order ice magic, earth-shattering ice blade", ignoring Xia Lu's scream, this man's mouth, chanted a magic spell in a low voice, and with his spell, Xia Lu could feel that the magic elements of the frost system were fluctuating violently.

"Fifth-order magic? A high-level magician? Hearing the spell chanted in the other party's mouth, feeling the strong magic fluctuations, Xia Lu was startled and hurriedly pulled back, although the magician's physique is weak, but under the threat of life, a person can often burst out with inexplicable potential.

"Hoo !!" , A huge crescent-shaped ice blade appeared, whistling towards Xia Lu, the earth-shattering ice blade of the fifth level magic, the power it exuded, it was still terrifying.

"Good! That's great! At this time, in the square, seeing Lin Chen's performance, the colorful flames in the sky, and the big characters left by the Flying Star Sword with frost in the flames, everyone applauded warmly.

At the end of the performance, Lin Chen withdrew the Flying Star Sword, stood in the square and smiled at Elder Mocha, the meaning was self-evident, seeing Lin Chen's smile, Elder Mocha was stunned for a moment, and then he also reacted, knowing that Lin Chen's performance this time was to congratulate himself in advance, Elder Mocha laughed, and his heart was also very happy.

"That's it! You've watched the show too, right? It's time to talk about business......", at this time, the president of the Pharmacists Guild hadn't said anything, but the prince sitting there suddenly spoke, and the voice spread throughout the audience, making everyone stunned, talking about business? When will it be his turn to speak?

As the prince's words fell, suddenly countless soldiers wearing armor and holding spears in cold light appeared outside the square, and the fighting spirit on their bodies surged, these soldiers were all professionals above the junior swordsman who had comprehended the fighting spirit, and the appearance of this group of soldiers controlled the audience for a while, and at the same time, everyone understood what the prince's words meant.

"It turns out that this guy is going to rebel", looking at this situation, everyone suddenly realized, but except for the king's side, everyone didn't care at all.

In this world of swords and magic, the strength of an individual can be strong enough to fight against the army, so these soldiers do not pose the slightest threat to those swordsman guilds, magician guilds, foundry guilds and the like.

However, in all empires, there are clear rules that the existence of these guilds cannot interfere in the affairs of the state, that is, no matter what happens in the country, these guilds cannot intervene, as is the case now, if someone rebels, they cannot intervene next to them.

After all, there are only a few Sanctuary guards in the palace? What are those mage guilds, and how many sanctuaries are there in the swordsman guild? If these guilds can also participate in the affairs of the country, then the empire is not completely chaotic?

Therefore, the existence of these guilds is dependent on the existence of the empire, but not the existence of the king, and no one can interfere in the state affairs of the empire, which is a rule jointly formulated by the nine monarchs.

Once in the Northern Frost Empire, there was a thief guild that secretly helped usurp the throne, and this matter was found by one of the nine monarchs, and two monarchs appeared at that time, and slaughtered the thieves guild of the Northern Frost Empire overnight, leaving no chickens and dogs.

It is precisely because of this that there is no thief guild in the Northern Frost Empire, and it is precisely the bloody means that can suppress the big guilds in these empires, even the foundry guild and the apothecary guild do not dare to intervene in the affairs of the empire.

"Brother! Time's up! Come down! It's up to me to sit in that seat! Seeing that the soldiers he had arranged had appeared and had already controlled the whole scene, the prince turned around with a confident smile and said to the king sitting on the throne.

"Tut-tut, I said the show was coming, right? Let's take a look", seeing that the prince really made a move, Lin Chen stepped back from the performance stage, walked to Elder Mocha and sat down, and said with a smile.

Although these soldiers seemed to control the whole scene, in fact, they only controlled the people around the king, and they didn't care about the people in these guilds, if these guilds really wanted to help the king, the prince would not have the courage to rebel.

"Did you already know?" , Hearing Lin Chen's words, Elder Mocha asked in surprise, the secret surname of this kind of thing must be done strictly, and it is absolutely impossible for others to know, but why did Lin Chen know in advance?

"Hehe, you also know that I accepted Xia Lu as a disciple, and I believe you have heard about the affairs of her family, so I checked and accidentally found out about this matter", smiled, Lin Chen's eyes looked at the prince over there, and said lightly, with a cold chill in his eyes.

"I see", hearing Lin Chen's words, Elder Mocha was stunned, but he was very shocked in his heart, this matter can also be found out? How much intelligence would it take? Elder Mocha thought that even if the Pharmacists Guild started to investigate this matter thoroughly, he might not be able to find out clearly, but Lin Chen did it, and he hadn't used the power of the Apothecary's Guild yet.

In any case, for those guilds, the matter of rebellion is really similar to watching a play, whether they have a high mentality that they have nothing to do with themselves, or they have a good relationship with the king, they don't dare to help, after all, the regulations of the nine monarchs are there, who dares to touch them?

"You want to sit in my place? It also depends on whether you have the ability to sit firmly", was surrounded and controlled, but the king did not have the slightest nervousness and panic, he was still calm, and looked at the prince lightly.

"How do you know I can't sit still? I don't believe it! You can sit in a tight position! I just can't sit still! Hearing the king's words, he seemed to be stimulated, and as if he saw that the king was still calm, the prince exclaimed angrily.

"Why?" , Ignoring the prince's annoyed and angry shouts, the king's face was still calm, and he asked lightly: "Since I sat on the throne, although I dare not say that the four seas are peaceful, but at least the country and the people are safe, and the people's lives are quite peaceful, why do you want to oppose me?" ”。

"Haha! Why!? Don't you really know? It's been so many years since I was a child! I'll always be better than you! But just because my father also loves you more! Why is that!? To know! I'm my brother! I'm the firstborn! The throne should have been inherited by me! The resentment that had been suppressed for many years completely erupted at this time, and the prince's mouth shouted angrily.

"Not bad! You're better than I am! And you're a brother too! It stands to reason that you should have succeeded to the throne", the king seemed to have a look of remembrance on his face when he heard the prince's roar.

"Not bad! But just because my father loves you more! I actually gave you the throne! Father is simply eccentric! It's simply ignoring the country's society! Hearing that even the king was lamenting that the throne should have been his own, the prince became even more energetic and shouted loudly.

"You're wrong, you think the throne is really because my father loves me! That's why it was given to me? Three days before I sit on the throne! Father asked you and me to play a game of chess with him! Don't you remember? Seeing the prince's crazy and distorted face, the king asked lightly.

"Chess? Was that time? Hearing the king's words, the prince was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think of something.

"Not bad! That's the time you and I joined forces! I didn't defeat my father once! Don't you really remember? Nodding faintly, the king's mouth replied.

Lin Chen was not interested in the dumb riddle between the king and the prince over there, Lin Chen just looked eagerly, the show had begun, why hadn't Xia Lu come yet?
