Chapter 174: The King's Election Begins
After the events of "Lugony Kachen, King Emilia", the dragon's status in this country is revealed.
In this country, where even the establishment of the country is related to dragons, dragons can speak much stronger than the fox barks twice.
Even if the witnesses were just ordinary people in the slums, even if the color of the dragon did not match the one that made the "covenant", the news of Emilia being chosen by the dragon spread throughout the royal capital overnight, and in the word of mouth, it was added to the fire little by little, and the more and more gods were spread.
"Have you heard, Lord Emilia, the Chosen One, has been praised by the dragon god?"
"No, I heard that she has been designated as a king by the dragon god, so she will be able to ascend the throne in the last form."
"I've heard that Emilia's competitors are ready to surrender and want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a good position."
"Of course, I heard that Mimilia-sama rode on a dragon that day to receive the worship of the people."
"It seems that the Sword Master didn't dare to draw his sword after seeing the dragon."
"Why don't you dare to draw your sword, it's just kneeling and saluting, and my second uncle is at the scene."
………………
In the midst of the disturbances, at Medea's suggestion, Emilia did the opposite, no longer giving speeches, but instead kept her head in obscurity, and began to create a sense of mystery, with Ram only appearing a few times to distribute some food and change.
In one fell swoop, Emilia has jumped from the king's chosen junk stock to a potential stock, and some minor nobles have already secretly come to Rozval's homestead to inquire about the news.
Time passed in a flash, and on the day of the king's election, it was the day when all the candidates for the king's election introduced themselves in front of the Council of Wise Men and officially ran for office, changing from "candidates for the king" to "king's candidates".
Each candidate of the Chosen Candidates is accompanied by a Chosen Recommender or Attendant.
Due to the limited number of people who could attend on this occasion, Emilia was surrounded only by Count Rozval and Medea, who were her recommenders.
After all, Medea herself was born noble, although the Greek court is different from the court of this other world, but Medea's temperament can still be seen to be not an ordinary person, and she is much more suitable than Roy to deal with this kind of scene full of nobility.
Roy took the rest of the people and waited for news in the mansion.
Different from the original timeline, Firut was not coerced to the scene of Wang Xuan, on the contrary, she is now very willing to cooperate with Wang Xuan, and her mentality is super good.
From the beginning, it was never intended to be elected, and its goal was to spend the money of the Juggernaut from the beginning.
According to unreliable grapevines, Rheinharut has begun to contact the Astrea's family to borrow money from them.
Although he is the contemporary sword saint of the Sword Saint family, Rheinharut himself does not have the full right to use the family property, and even has a rather stiff relationship with the family.
However, Firut spent money not for herself, but while enjoying herself, she worked hard to transform the slum she was born in, and now she has even subdued the three pawns of Aton, Ah Zhen and Ah Han much earlier than the original plot in the past few days, that is, the three gangsters who have troubled Caiyue Pleiades in several reincarnations, and even stabbed Caiyue Pleiades to death with a dagger in a reincarnation.
But the gangster is a gangster after all, although it can be useful in some cases, but this kind of occasion can't be brought, and even the most trusted Roma is waiting for news at home.
Under the arrangement of Rheinharut, in the company of several maids, Firut met with the other Chosen Ones, and appeared before the Council of the Magi, together with several others.
Nothing happened, and the Chosen Ones began to introduce themselves and political opinions.
Priscilla Baliyère – The whole world should be mine, and the kingdom should be mine.
Jin Shining is here and will teach you how to be a man.
Anastasia Hesin – I've made a lot of money in business, it's time to buy countries and make more money.
A capitalist from a civilian background, he started from scratch and had amazing business talents.
Kurtius Karsten – Abandon dependence on dragons and build a self-reliant power.
The most serious candidate of the five kings.
Firut – Raise taxes on the wealthy, use them to transform slums, and reduce the gap between rich and poor.
At a glance, it was clear that this political proposition was instilled in Firut by Roy with private goods, and the latter happily adopted it.
Emilia - to create a fair country, improve the country's wealth, improve the quality of life, and establish a good channel for growth.
After the five Chosen Champions introduced themselves, the Council of the Sages did not comment on the governing philosophy of any of the contestants.
Because in their opinion, none of them are reliable.
A psychotic, a copper-smelling businessman, a reactionary, a commoner who doesn't know what to do, and an idealistic half-elf.
Whichever one came to power, the real power of the state remained in the hands of the Council of the Wise, and none of these candidates had enough to replace the administration of the kingdom.
In contrast, from their point of view, they still prefer people with aristocratic status to stand out.
Priscilla and Kursius were nobles themselves, while Anastasia, although she was born poor, was a rich man as the country was in financial difficulties, and they also recognized the "noble" status of the rich man.
The remaining two candidates should have been the targets they were targeting, but the incident of "Dragon Electing Queen" that broke out a few days ago made them worry a lot and hesitated.
No one is a fool, the most enthusiastic to inquire about the news are these "sages", although it can't be confirmed, but this country is closely related to the dragon, no matter how long the dragon has not appeared, all the people and most of the nobles have a high respect for the dragon.
In any case, in the absence of a clear situation, these "sages" would never collide with their prestige and "dragons", so unlike the original timeline, they did not dare to target Emilia at all, and they did not even have time to target Firut, but after the Chosen One made an introduction, they couldn't wait, but pretended to ask questions "unintentionally".
"Speaking of which, Mistress Emilia, there is a rumor in the royal capital that Mimery-sama met the dragon god and was appointed king by the dragon god, but I don't know about ......it."
"Ridiculous!" Priscilla, the proudest of the king's choices, interrupted the question, not giving Emilia time to answer. "The dragon god didn't appear in front of the concubine, how could he choose a half-demon?"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down, and seeing that Wang Xuan was about to begin, the first clash was about to take place.
