Chapter 786: Large Population
After the elf king raised the issue of establishing the crown prince, the banquet hall immediately became a heap of flies, and there were bursts of muttering sounds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Except for the "Big Three" of the Warren family, who already knew the result, the rest of the descendants of the Elf King all looked around and "discussed" with their brothers and sisters.
While everyone was muttering, Wang Xu silently counted how many brothers and sisters he had, because the elf king was too anxious, so there were too many children, before that, Wang Xu didn't know how many people there were in his family, and then he saw all his "family" for the first time.
After getting the exact number, Wang Xu silently roared in his heart, "Fierce!", he was shocked to find that around this long table that can accommodate up to a hundred people, there were seventy-three people sitting, excluding the elf king's house, the number of his brothers and sisters reached seventy-two, which is incredible!
You must know that the number of middle and high-level officials in the entire elven clan is less than seventy-two, which means that with the existing power structure in the elven clan, it is not enough to arrange one official position for each of them, which is really ......
"Don't shout, if you have anything to say, just say it out loud, don't talk to each other!" The Elven King, who was annoyed by the chaotic muttering, raised his hand to silence everyone, and then, glancing at all his children, asked loudly, "Who said first?"
As soon as the Elf King's words fell, almost all eyes were focused on Wang Xu, and they were all waiting for Wang Xu to speak, after all, Wang Xu was the real ruler in the Elf clan today.
Although he was "irradiated" by countless eyes, Wang Xu did not respond, silently drooping his eyelids, looking "pensive", as if he didn't want to speak at all.
"You say!" The elf king, who was still "still angry" at Wang Xu, glanced at Wang Xu, then focused his eyes on his eldest son Newman Wharton, and asked loudly: "You are my most stable child, who do you think is the most suitable to be the crown prince!"
"Well......" I didn't expect Newman Wharton, who was the first to be named, was still chewing the taste of "vegetables" in his mouth, after being named, he was stunned for a moment, and then, he sped up his chewing speed, and swallowed the rotten vegetable leaves vigorously, "That's the case, Your Majesty, now, among my brothers and sisters, whether it is ability, fame, or strength, the sixth brother Rio is the best, so I think the most suitable person to be your successor should be the sixth brother Io!"
As soon as Newman Wharton's words fell, countless Ying He's voices rang out one after another, and their reason for Ying and Wang Xu was quite simple, that is, they wanted to talk to Wang Xu now, and they could get a lot of benefits in the future.
"Quiet!" After raising his hand again to suppress the "noise", the Elf King turned his head to look at Wang Xu and asked, "Everyone recommended you to be the crown prince, what is your attitude?"
"Thank you for your affirmation of my ability, and thank you for your support for me, although I am willing to take on this heavy responsibility, but I am not suitable, the reason is very simple, I am a half-elf, the rule set by the ancestors is that the crown prince must be a pure-blooded member of the royal family, my blood is not pure, I can't break the rules set by the ancestors because of me!" Wang Xu made a statement.
To tell the truth, there has never been the rule that Wang Xu just mentioned in the elf clan, it was made up by Wang Xu, in order to make it look real, he took out his ancestors and stood on the platform, obviously, his trick worked, and his brothers and sisters believed it.
"Since that's the case, then I won't force you," the elf king, who had already made a candidate with Wang Xu, after listening to Wang Xu's statement, did not say anything about breaking the "ancestral creed" compiled by Wang Xu, he first performed a "pity" expression, and then, with clumsy acting skills, he sighed, and then, inexplicably, "wise and martial" looked at Wang Xu, and asked seriously: "Then who do you think is the most suitable?"
"I think that the second brother Tang Si is the most suitable, of course we can't compare to someone as good as you, father, but what, the second brother's ability is the closest to you, as long as you make him the crown prince, and usually mention him more, I can expect that in the future, he will become a great king like you!"
As soon as Wang Xu's words were finished, before the Elf King could express his position, Newman Wharton, the eldest son of the Elf King, suddenly spoke: "It's not appropriate......"
With Newman Wharton's words, there were echoes around the long table again, and those echoes were all saying that Downs Wharton was not suitable, and there was not even a single word of support for Downs Wharton, obviously, Downs Wharton was usually too unpopular.
"Tell me your reasons?" Now that Newman Wharton has spoken, even if the Elf King ignores his eldest son, he must let the family express his opinion and say what he thinks in his heart.
"As far as I know, Father, you have already reduced Downs Wharton to the people, how can he be qualified to become the crown prince as a commoner, besides, he is a traitor to our elven race, he recruited the snowfield orcs to destroy our former home, in the future, who can guarantee that he will not betray us again!" Wharton didn't mean to covet the crown prince, but this is not to say that he usually didn't think about the future of the elves, just because his ability was really limited, so he couldn't think about any constructive results.
"Makes sense......" After listening to Newman Wharton's opinion, the elf king shifted his gaze to Wang Xu, and hinted to Wang Xu with his eyes: It's time for you to refute, if you can't argue with your eldest brother, then the good thing we discussed will not be realized.
After receiving the hint from the elf king, Wang Xu did not speak, but secretly reached out and twisted the thigh of Downs Wharton on his right, and told him with actions: It's time for you to play, your position, you have to fight for it yourself!
"Father!" Downs Wharton is a smart man, the moment Wang Xu twisted him, he knew what to do, suddenly, he stood up directly from his seat, walked to the elf king's side, "poof......" and knelt down, and then, he looked up at the elf king, "sincerely" apologized: "I know that I am a sinner in the clan, and I also know that you still have expectations for me, in order to make up for the great mistake I committed, I hope to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?"
"Well......" The Elf King, who was stunned by Downs Wharton's abrupt behavior, slowed down for three or four seconds, and then asked Downs Wharton loudly, "Tell me your plans......"
