The outbreak of necromantic creatures on the "Royal Spring Hunt" is like a bomb exploding in the undercurrent of Arantis.

The Church of Light was the first to stand in the foreground. On the night of receiving the magic message, the head of the Church Punishment Knights and a level 11 Great Light Priest rushed to Mount Gladiolus, and the Punishment Knights and Light Priests of the brigade rushed to the hunting ground before sunrise.

The Knight of Punishment and the Priest of Light, with the cooperation of thousands of royal forbidden troops, sealed off the entire royal hunting grounds, and it took two full days to basically clean up all the necromantic creatures.

The Church was shocked by the summoning of necromantic creatures on such a large scale, and it had not been hundreds of years since there had been a dark magic event of this magnitude and magnitude. And it happened near the imperial capital, almost under the nose of the Church of Light, which was equivalent to a slap in the face to the church.

There were a large number of casualties in this dark magic incident, and the church couldn't suppress it, and the casualties not only involved the imperial family, but also affected many wealthy relatives. There were also hundreds of people from aristocratic and wealthy families who came to watch the hunt, and through their mouths, this matter spread throughout the entire imperial capital like a whirlwind.

If the dark mage who orchestrated this incident is not caught and publicly burned to death, the Church of Light will be disgraced.

Almost overnight, countless Knights of Punishment and Priests of Light appeared in the originally peaceful Arantis, haunting the streets and alleys, investigating and searching for them.

This incident only brought shame to the church, but it brought disaster to the Emperor of Light. In addition to the few highnesses who were rescued at the beginning, 179 people from the eighteen hunting teams knew how to hunt, and only 53 people escaped alive in the end, and only one of the eleventh highnesses was intact from the hunting team. Among the dead in this incident even included the direct bloodlines of the two emperors, the Fifth Highness and the Twelfth Princess.

The Fifth Highness has a weak personality, and his first choice after encountering necromantic creatures is to lead his subordinates to find a place to hide. It was this decision that caused him to miss Harper, the deputy commander of the Dragonscale Guard, who came to pick him up, and finally fell into a siege of necromantic creatures and died.

In addition to the five highnesses and the twelve princesses, the dead also included five or six heirs who had a deep kinship with the imperial family, including the concubine's own nephew Yegis, and the imperial family's losses this time were almost as large as a small palace coup.

Although the Seventh Highness, who had the deepest connection with this matter, escaped death, after returning to the imperial capital, he was immediately ordered by the emperor himself to be taken into custody, and was jointly interrogated by the imperial family and the Church of Light.

Clear-eyed people can basically see clearly, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness was also used in this incident. Even in order to compete for the position of prince, Idir did not dare to openly do such a thing as summoning necromantic creatures that violated the taboo of the Church of Light. But Master Qi Luo, who launched the magic circle, was a person from the Seven Highnesses after all, and he could only dig out the mastermind behind the scenes layer by layer through him. After this incident, His Royal Highness the Seventh was completely withdrawn from the dispute for the prince.

It's just that the action of finding the dark mage and the mastermind behind it through the line of the Seven Highnesses is doomed to be in vain. The other party had already cut this bright line, and the noble prince who had recommended Qiluo to His Highness the Seventh had suddenly died of a strange disease three months ago.

Moreover, this incident also made the already clear battle for the prince uncertain. Originally, His Royal Highness, Second Highness, and Seventh Highness were the most likely to become the prince, but this time, the Seventh Highness was directly out of the game, making the other two Highnesses the biggest beneficiaries. But Emperor Konstantin is not a foolish person, if there is no one to manipulate and support in secret, just a few fugitive dark magicians will never have the ability to hide such a big thing from the Church of Light, and whoever benefits from it is more likely to be involved.

This incident also cast a shadow over the upcoming Seven Parliamentary Alliance.

The incident happened to break out before the Seven Nations Alliance, and there were still more than ten days before the official start of the Alliance on the first day of March, and the kings of the countries participating in the Alliance had already arrived in the imperial capital one after another.

The forbidden army in the imperial capital is extremely nervous now, for fear that there will be any accidents before this, and if any king is attacked in the imperial capital, it may even lead to war. Originally, there was no need to search and register to enter and exit Arantis, but now the gates were doubled with guards, and all people entering and leaving the city were subject to inspection and registration.

On the surface, Arantis, who is relatively calm, is actually in a tense atmosphere.

......

In the northwest corner of the northern area of the imperial capital, in a well-guarded palace.

His Majesty Stredge, who had just arrived in the imperial capital the day before the incident, was taking a leisurely walk in the palace garden.

Although King Isaac lived in this garden only once every five years, it was tended to by someone at all times. In order for Strachage to move in at this time, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the garden are spurred by the gardener to compete for beauty.

"The flowers of this imperial capital seem to bloom more delicately than our Isaac, and they have a more noble air out of thin air. Strachey said with great interest as he tore off a plump red petal.

"Expensive and delicate things don't last long, and although our Isaac flowers have experienced more cold wind and rain, they bloom longer. Intelligence Director Jace said respectfully behind Streich.

Strachge laughed: "It's worthy of following me for so many years, and every word has gone to my heart." ”

"Your Majesty is falsely praised. ”

Stredges suddenly lowered his voice and said, "What was the reaction of all parties to the incident two days ago?"

"There has been no movement in the other countries, and the biggest shock naturally comes from within the imperial family. This time, the Fifth Highness was dead and the Seventh Highness was out, and His Highness and Second Highness, who were originally in the most advantageous position, were also suspicious of the emperor. It is unlikely that the emperor will choose a young underage prince to succeed him in the case of the Seven Kingdoms, so His Highnesses the Ninth and Eleventh Highnesses, who had little hope, unexpectedly benefited from it. ”

Strachey nodded slightly, "Let's look back, maybe this battle for the prince will be an unexpected result?"

"So maybe our Eleventh Highness will have a chance? His Highness Qiong's performance in the spring hunt this time was very eye-catching, and only his hunting team withdrew intact. ”

Strachage smiled again: "It's not Joan's performance that is eye-catching, it's my Isaac Kingdom's Blood Yao Academy that is eye-catching, and I'm very much looking forward to Viscount Jiayong's performance this time." ”

......

Arthur of the Blood Academy mentioned by His Majesty Strelch has been hiding in the inn since he returned from the spring hunt and did not dare to go out.

You don't need to guess what the chaos is like outside, not to mention that they themselves are weak-minded, as the only hunting team that has run out of the black fog, it may be difficult to be convincing to explain it only by luck.

Fortunately, several people have long been unified, and they did not show any weakness in the face of the two joint investigations and inquiries of the church and the imperial family. In the absence of evidence, even some suspicion cannot be compared to the teams participating in the Elite House Championship?

It was only five days after the outbreak of necromantic creatures that Joan came to the door again.

Joan's spirit looked a little haggard. His Royal Highness the Fifth is the elder brother of the tenth princess, all of whom were born to Concubine Jona, and have the best relationship with Joan among the many princes.

After the loss of her son, Concubine Joanna was heartbroken, and the tenth princess and Joan have been accompanying Concubine Joanna in the palace for the past few days. This morning, the concubine was in a much better mood, and Joan took the excuse to come out to meet with Arthur and them.

Joan quickly said straight to the point: "The previous batch of things has been processed, and I brought you the money." But there's another trouble that needs your help. ”

"Can I refuse?"

"It's hard for me to say no, and if you really want to say no, you'll have to tell him personally. ”

Arthur sighed helplessly, "It's really eventful, you can't hide from trouble." ”
