After visiting Odiken, the sword of the Crucible, Prince Chen sat in front of the left side of the book, unwilling.

As a political victim of the short friendship between Gran and Sealand, Prince Chen has never enjoyed the treatment of a real prince in the Duchy of Goland since the moment he was born, but when he returns to the Duchy of Sealand, he will not recognize his status and identity.

It's not because of his mother's extramarital status, it's because of his strength!

Every prince of the Principality of Sealand must serve the public with military feats, and the successive kings of Sealand have taken the Sealand Emperor as their ultimate ideal, so the Sealand royal family, which advocates iron blood and conquest, will not admit that they are only a waste of knightly power.

It is precisely for this reason that from the moment he was born, Prince Chen knew that life was not easy.

According to the law of conservation, if you want to get something, you must pay other costs, but if you want to get something, the price you need to pay is far more than that of several brothers.

Although the Duchy of Grand does not have the tradition of the Duchy of Sealand to subdue the public by force, the power struggle between the princes is the result of the competition and compromise of several major forces.

The military department, headed by his father, supported the eldest prince.

The aristocratic ministers led by the four major families are inclined to support the second prince, and at least the three major families have made a clear statement!

The church is also inclined to support the second prince, and the claire cardinal leader even personally baptized the second prince with holy water, which is almost equivalent to giving away a gold medal to avoid death, even if the power struggle fails, it will be because of the relationship of light and grace, and the successor must not blaspheme the grace of the light god.

In addition, several organizations that can influence the power struggle, the Royal Academicians Committee, the Colosseum Club, the Mercenary Association, and the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, although they have not made a clear statement, but because of their mother's relationship, it is almost impossible for them to make any co-optation in St. Granburg.

Because I can't leave the palace at all!

This time, he finally left the palace after a lot of hard work, leaving the absolute sphere of influence of his two elder brothers, and the reason why he chose to come to the Crucible Fortress is because according to the investigation, Odiken, the Crucible Sword who guarded the Crucible Fortress, is a truly strict and self-disciplined honorary Sky Knight, hoping to gain the support of this general through his good performance here, so as to influence his father, even if it is only a slight impact!

As long as the father no longer acquiesces, allowing himself to return to St. Granburg and have free access to the palace, it will be a victory.

Pity.

Although the two elder brothers could not influence the Crucible, they were able to send their information to the Duchy of Sealand, and their mission failed, not only did they fail to gain the appreciation of General Sanrogoev, but also buried the supporters they had worked so hard to gather.

"Is this despair?"

Emperor Chen took a deep breath and deeply realized his powerlessness.

Now, there is no one in the world who looks forward to his father's health more than Prince Chen, because once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will inevitably be the first batch of souls under the sword.

The struggle for power of the Gran royal family, although subtle, is far more brutal than that of the Duchy of Sealand!

Now, although the emperor of the Duchy of Grand is in good health, he is already an old man in his seventies after all, and when he was young, he had many accidents and did not have any cultivation, even if he took some life-prolonging monsters for a long time, after all, it was an external force and had a limited effect.

"Prince!"

Suddenly, an old servant trotted over and excitedly said, "Our chance has come!"

This old servant is a loyal retinue brought by his mother from the Duchy of Sealand, and he has grown up taking care of himself with his own hands, and he does not know how many dangers he has secretly resisted for himself, and he is also one of the few people he can really trust.

"What chance?"

Never showing his weak side in front of anyone, Prince Chen's voice was quite calm.

"Reliable news, a spatial node secretly controlled by the Goddess of Wisdom Hall near the fortress was attacked and captured by the Principality of Sealand, and it is likely that the Prince Ling over there came secretly for military merits!"

Speaking of Prince Ling, the old servant added, "It's the youngest prince with the talent of Ice Ling's Eye, your cousin. ”

Emperor Chen shook his head sarcastically.

"A few days ago, it was this cousin who wanted to turn me into a military honor, right?"

The old servant paused and did not continue to reply on the subject.

"It is said that this space node is very special, it is on the verge of the collapse of the law, and it can only be allowed to enter the magicians of level 0 magic power and the trainee fighters who have not taken any magic elixirs, and it is precisely because of this that Ling Huangzi has taken a fancy to this, so he will gather the elites of all the forces of the Principality of Zealand and suddenly attack, after all, according to intelligence, he is one of the strongest students of the Sealand Academy of Sciences. ”

"In the era of the War of the Gods before the Academy of Sciences rose, the goddess of wisdom was the great enemy of life and death in the Principality of Sealand, even if more than a thousand years have passed, the desecration of the goddess is enough to make the side look sideways. ”

Emperor Chen muttered in a low voice, but frowned again.

"But the retinue I brought with me was all exhausted in the previous ambush battle, and besides, this spatial node is so special, even if those retinues of mine are still there, they are not eligible. ”

The Principality of Sealand, the forces of the Academy of Sciences have already cleared the Temple of War!

However, in the Republic of Glen, the Temple of Wisdom still has considerable influence, enough to influence the influence of the imperial power struggle.

"Prince, we have no way out, we must do everything we can to seize this only opportunity!

Hiss......

Emperor Chen tried his best to think about the people who could ask for help, even if it was someone he had met once, or even someone who had listened to others, and his mind gradually calmed down.

After half an hourglass time, Prince Chen took out a piece of paper, closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Help me investigate these people." ”

......

The next day.

Lei Luo, who is accustomed to waking up early and is troubled by the strange changes in his body, is disturbed by the knock on the door.

Putting down the books and materials he was querying, Lei Luo frowned and opened the door, it was the prince of Chen who had returned to the fifteenth-story altar of the fortress tower with the help of the power of the space-time scroll a few days ago.

At this moment, the prince was standing alone in front of his door, smiling generously and easily.

"Prince Chen?"

Lei Luo was puzzled and saluted slightly, and the new black bachelor's uniform covered his abnormality.

Prince Chen looked at the person in front of him, and because of the Goddess of Wisdom's Moon Trace Space Node Task, he couldn't help but recall yesterday's investigation in his heart.

Raylo Gubo!

Gubo, the new dean of the Gram Academy of Natural Sciences and one of the contenders for the Honorary Vice-Dean, has attracted the attention of the Royal Academicians' Committee, and his creation of "Atavistic Clone" is not only an interpretation of the "Evolutionary Mysteries", but also a further development on its foundation, which is of great significance.

Gubo's great disciple Wushuang Galie, known as the Shadow of the Sky, established the Sky Shadow Mercenary Group, which is most likely to impact one of the S-level powerful mercenary groups in recent years, and has a great impact on the Mercenary Association.

After knowing that this inconspicuous first-year male student had such a big background, Prince Chen suddenly knew what he had missed, and after secretly being annoyed, he came to visit early in the morning.

Maybe his two elder brothers won't care about Lei Luo, even if they need to, they will visit Gubo or Wushuang Galie directly, but for the desperate Prince Chen, Lei Luo's existence is like a lifesaver, and he has been under house arrest for a long time, and he really needs some forces that can influence St. Granburg, even if it is just potential.

"Since that day I was ambushed by the Principality of Sealand, and I came back to see you once with the help of the time and space scroll, I was in a trance because of the loss of my relatives, and I didn't come to visit, I am ashamed to say that my life was saved by Your Excellency, and it has been difficult to sleep and eat these days, so I came to visit you early this morning, and I hope Your Excellency will not blame me for being unreasonable. ”

As he was talking, Prince Chen actually saluted Lei Luo slightly, which suddenly surprised Lei Luo and hurriedly helped him up.

Not to mention the prince, even the ordinary nobles of the academy have never treated Lei Luo like this.

In the academy, except for a limited number of people, Lei Luo could not join the social circle of the aristocratic ball banquet because of his civilian status, and he was almost an invisible existence, no one cared at all, and no one paid attention to it.

This Prince Chen was suddenly like this, which really flattered Lei Luo, and it was difficult to adapt, and he also felt a little strange about the loss.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this!"

Lei Luo is no longer the little guy who just left Onyx Lake, of course he doesn't believe a word about the words he saved the other party, if he is really grateful, he should have shown it when he asked for his surname and name, why delay until now.

Is it because of your background?

Is it because of Mentor Gubo and Brother Wushuang?

Inviting Prince Chen into the house, Lei Luo was not in a hurry to take the initiative to ask, looking sincerely scared, the prince would not die in a catastrophe, and there would be a future blessing.
