Chapter 233: Southwest Final Curtain 1 - Juan
In the midst of hexagrams, rumors, and heard, the night was late. , Looking at the ground and the edge of the table, the creature with the strongest combat power in the fortress appeared!
The dwarf aunt with a broom in her hand, and the heavily armed dwarves and orcs are chickens and dogs. There's no way, no one wants to let a broom stained with sweep on the face, and any image will be swept away.
Lin and Fen, seeing the moment the shopkeeper's fierce wife appeared, they hurriedly threw the full amount of wine and dinner money on the table without waiting for her to yell at everyone with a loud voice, and then ran away. The former Demon King can still maintain his usual elegance, but someone really crawled and escaped from the tavern.
Of the two drunken girls, Lin carried one, and Fen carried the other, just walking on the street that was also unpopulated.
It's just that under the influence of alcohol, this street is not as weird as it looks when it comes. Lin was bathed in the moonlight, humming an unknown song.
"Master Tripwood, I would like to ask you something." Fen suddenly asked, sending a chill down someone's spine. This lich uses honorifics, which is never a good thing. But Lin could only laugh and say, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can ask." ”
"What's the matter with the Ship Cutter?"
It should be a proud achievement, but at this moment, it looks like black history. Someone's eyes fluttered and he said, "I don't know what that is." ”
"Oh." Lifting the carrying Kaya in front of him, and shaking it, Fen asked the pigtailed girl who was struggling to hold up her eyelids: "Do you know the ship slasher?" ”
As soon as he touched his glasses and turned on the exclusive database function, Kaya sent the design drawings of the ship slasher to Fin's glasses field of vision with a few manual clicks. As soon as the teleportation was completed, the whole person hung up again. Like a hanged man, his limbs drooped weakly.
Looking at the drawings of the ship-slashing knife and all the additional records, Finna still didn't understand what this weapon was all about. Her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she didn't say a word, which made people even more frightened.
"You, you," Lin said, stretching out his trembling hand, "Don't put on an expression of wanting to go back and talk to those dwarves, you think I'll be afraid." ”
"If you're not afraid, don't shake your hands. I'm just a little curious about how the dwarves will react when they find out that you made the sword. ”
"I warn you, don't mess around. Otherwise, "Or what? "Otherwise, I'll run away alone in the middle of the night." Don't think that the walls of that district can stop me. ”
"Dogs that don't grow up, always want to run, you can't run to the ends of the earth. Believe it or not, all three legs broke you. ”
"Is it so rude!"
"I'm a lich, a chaotic evil faction."
Under the same night sky where the two were arguing, in the southwest peninsula, within the realm of the Lyon branch of the Wizards' Association, in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Huelva, Juan Javier was gathering with his family and close friends for a family feast.
King Hahn IV and his queen sit on the throne, with six princes in a row on the left and two princesses on the right. Juan sat directly across from the long table, tearing grapes and drinking energetic mead. Next to him was his teacher, Jother-Carlos, with a helpless expression on his face, turning his head not to look at his students.
Juan Javier was able to sit here because of his mother, Queen Catherine, who was even more legendary than his great magician. Originally just the daughter of a knight lord, she married her lord, Viscount Javier, and had a child. That kid was Juan Javier.
Catherine met the young and vigorous Hahn for the first time at a ceremony to celebrate the new king's accession to the throne, and also fascinated the new king. The second time they met was at the funeral of Viscount Javier, who died of illness, when Juan was five years old.
The beauty of a widow will, of course, have many admirers. The fact that the king would appear at the funeral of a viscount also attracted the attention and speculation of many. But there are still people who are not attracted to Catherine, and that is a side branch of the Javier family.
What better chance to seize control of the family than now, when only orphans and widows remain, so they hatched a plan to marry off the widow. The first choice is, of course, the king, who is still single and enterprising. That one was powerful enough for the widow to agree.
"As long as you secure my son's inheritance, and the royal family sends someone to administer the territory, I will marry you."
Holding her son who is not very sensible, Catherine does not play any hypocrisy, and directly prescribes her own conditions. In fact, for the tradition of the Lost Land, there is no requirement for a woman to be widowed or loyal. It is not uncommon for widows to marry three or four times and kill a bunch of husbands.
For Jaén IV, such a condition was a gesture. But for the carefully calculated side branch of the Javier family, it was crying.
But many nobles in the kingdom were not satisfied with this marriage of great status, not to mention that it was still a widow, not only older than the king, but also carrying a drag oil bottle. However, it is a king who is brutal and reckless in age, and no one can be easily persuaded.
In the years that followed, princes and princesses were born. The nobles, who were loyal to the royal family, but complained about the queen's background, also remained silent. The heir is more important than the queen's identity. But not too much!
It is ideal to have an heir, one or two alternate heirs, and a few princesses who can be used for marriage. But there are too many heirs, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing. It is conceivable that in the future, the kingdom will be constantly divided around the struggle for the throne.
The turning point came in the twelfth year of Catherine's coronation as queen. A close minister of Hahn IV betrayed, poisoned his own king, and fled back to the fiefdom to raise the banner of rebellion. All the nobles shrank their power and waited to see what happened. Some people privately contacted several older princes, waiting for an opportunity.
Of course, there are also nobles who directly find the queen, and there are many hints in and out of the words, wanting to take advantage of the royal family when the king doesn't know if he can wake up.
Queen Catherine refused all this, saying, "I have sent thousands of troops to quell this rebellion." ”
In fact, the Praetorian Guard, which was directly subordinate to the king, strengthened the guard in the royal palace, and there were no signs of superfluous movements. Even the court magicians were stationed in the magic tower in the royal city, and they did not dare to leave without permission. But the rebellious marquis was still cleaned up.
The youngest Grand Magician in the district of Léon. That year, Juan Javier was seventeen years old and had only been recognized as the Grand Magician of the district of León. Alone, completely ignoring the rules among the nobles, he slaughtered the rebellious marquis family.
Only then did the nobles realize that the heir of the Javier family, who had been sent to study magic at the great magician Jose Carlos, a friend of the former king, had achieved such a high level.
Although he does not have the blood of a king, as a queen of blood, he has earned the nickname of the prince of the elements. The word prince is aimed at his identity that cannot be recognized, and it can be regarded as a magician's bad taste for nobles.
Welcoming back Juan's royal family, the most dangerous moment has passed. Jaén IV woke up.
For Viscount Javier, who has become a great magician, he does not abide by the rules of the game among nobles, and many nobles express their dissatisfaction in private. But Viscount Javier still became Marquis Javier. The heirless Marquis family, including its territory and possessions, became the possession of the Grand Magi.
In the same year, Hahn IV ordained the eldest son between him and Queen Catherine as crown prince. Some conservative ministers saw the chaos when the king fell, and were of course optimistic about the success of the crown prince. But this was not the case for all nobles, including other princes who were older and surrounded by a group of petty people.
However, at the canonization ceremony, Juan Javier spoke amazingly. Just as he caused an uproar in the wizarding world with his declaration of non-admissibility, in the aristocratic world, he also had terrifying speeches.
"My brothers, embrace the crown prince appointed by the old man, and do not think of anything wrong. Because if you dare to fight for the throne, I will do the same. Obviously, none of you can compete with me. So don't give me excuses. ”
Juan lived with Jaén IV for a while as a child. Although Hahn intended to treat him as his own child, he was never able to call his father out. Without a father, he only called the king an old man, even if he was young and vigorous.
"Why do you inherit the throne!" The ten-year-old second son dissatisfiedly scolded this eldest brother, who was only half blood.
Juan Javier just laughed maniacally, and in the midst of the laughter, the brown hair turned into flames and mist evaporated from his body. He said, "As long as you're all dead." That's all I have left to inherit the throne, isn't it? ”
"Nonsense!" In the midst of a threat that frightened everyone, Queen Catherine rebuked her child. She rarely spoke in front of everyone, but she said coldly: "You have to kill everyone in the succession line to be eligible for the crown." ”
Then the aristocracy almost collapsed, including the side branches of the royal family. Shouldn't the queen stop this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, how can she still add fuel to the fire? What's even more frustrating is that the people who make this kind of declaration can really do it.
But Hahn IV only saw one important point, that is, the worst-case scenario would only happen when the crown prince was gone. As long as the premise doesn't exist, things don't happen.
There were also disgruntled nobles plotting to support the second prince to inherit the throne. Juan Javier, however, arrived over the nobleman's fiefdom castle on the airship Gothboton, the strongest war weapon of the Leon Order, and stayed for quite some time.
During this period, all kinds of strange, valuable and worthless things in the castle were treated as gifts and constantly sent to airships. It was almost as if he had exhausted his property on the surface, and the nobleman had to send away a boatload of plague gods.
Since then, the crown prince's position has been completely secured. Whether it was his younger brothers, or the nobles of the kingdom, they had all forgotten that there was such a thing as a struggle for the throne.
Under the leadership of the mature and increasingly sinister Hahn IV, the Kingdom of Huelva ushered in a wave of prosperity.
However, Juan Javier, who regarded himself as a magician and almost forgot his aristocratic status, rarely interfered in the affairs of the kingdom and its fiefdoms. To this day, when he wants to establish an academy, he understands that this is not something he can do alone. So who to find as a helper, whether it is your cheap dad or your own teacher, this is a bit particular. 11
