In fact, for a long time, the character, abilities, and deeds of Nero and Nereis have long been known to the nobles, and although Ryan is young, he also jumped into people's field of vision because of this incident. The biggest variable came from the eldest princess of Wuding, who sent Turbidity back to announce her candidacy for the throne, and there was no more news. Suddenly, some people had the illusion that the return of the indefinite eldest princess was just a joke.

It was almost ten o'clock, and most of the seats of the nobles who had entered the arena one after another had been filled. Unlike in the past, the royal guards controlled the entire venue, and each seat had a specific name written on it. Those who are not on the list will not be allowed to enter the venue at all.

At this moment, there is no human affection, and there are no exceptions. It is clear which family really has the strength and connections, and which family has a false name. If the floating island wealthy are the top nobles, then the people who can be listed at the venue are the upper class and the backbone of the entire Holy Alliance.

When Richard walked into the venue, half of the heads of the floating island families were already seated. Richard looked solemn and walked to his seat and sat down.

Akmund was the only one who did not have the right to vote among the floating island magnates, so when Richard appeared, there was inevitably a deliberate silence among the nobles who were watching. But they were just discussing the conspiracy behind the whole thing, and they didn't mean to laugh at it. Regardless of whether Richard is qualified as a duke or not, his strength is genuine, and Akmund has crippled several floating island giants, let alone swept away these second-rate families.

A raised platform was erected in the candidate's area with four chairs placed on it. It seems that although the eldest princess of Wuding is a self-declared candidate for the throne, which does not conform to the laws of the Holy Alliance, the wealthy families and the royal family still recognize her as a candidate.

Seeing the four high chairs, Richard once again confirmed in his heart that the binding force of the rules is only valid for those who can be restrained. If Richard was already a legendary powerhouse, or if he had become a true saint constructor, there would be no cannon fodder like Baron Cannan. Even if he really jumped out, the proposal would not be discussed by the House of Lords at all. And the eldest princess of Wuding just sent an entourage to say a word, and let four high chairs be placed on the candidate table.

At ten o'clock, the candidates entered on time and sat down in their corresponding positions. According to the election procedure, a candidate who has not yet sat in his or her seat at 10 o'clock will automatically be disqualified. But when the bell rang, only Nero, Neres, and Ryan walked into the council hall, and the eldest princess was nowhere to be seen.

The three princes, dressed in full costume, walked up to the high platform, and then took their seats in their seats. Nero is still that kind and harmless appearance, and Ryan is a very beautiful young man, but his face is still a little childish, and he is being watched by everyone at the moment, and he also shows a little uneasiness. Nero and Ryan are normal, but Nereus is a hard thing to describe.

I don't know what he thinks, today's four princes are actually dressed in a neutral manner, the lace accessories that will look too frivolous on men, and the eye-catching bright blue base color on the dress, actually set off an indescribable charm on Neris, as if it was naturally customized for him. It's just that in this way, Nereus is completely neutral, and the whole person looks like a peerless beauty with a murderous aura and short hair.

Philip had already said about Nerith's character when he was appointing the candidate, and at such a moment, Nereus should have tried to show his masculinity, but he did not expect that he would not change at all, but would have intensified. Changing into such an outfit is simply deliberately declaring the problem of his personality. This dress is no different from the women's clothes on Neris.

Unlike other nobles, the Emperor also had the issue of the face symbol of the Holy Alliance. If a person like Nereus, whose personality is gradually distorted to a girl, is reluctant to be the head of a wealthy family, he will immediately attract countless criticisms when he sits on the throne. In fact, it was also very inappropriate to eat, sleep, and eat like Philip in the past, and raise himself like a mountain. But Philip's throne was brought out, and it was only obtained after he really repelled the feared eldest princess of the uncertainties, and no one could criticize the throne obtained in this way.

But Nereus doesn't have the overwhelming advantage and strength of Philip, he is just a sanctuary now, even if he is strong, he can't reach the point where Richard dares to shout invincible under the legend at level nineteen. For the head of a wealthy family, if he chooses Nereis because of his strength, it is better to choose Ryan. Ryan's bloodline talent is no worse than Niris's, and he is a normal teenager, and the price of choosing him is only to wait for more than ten years. Wealthy family owners can often use decades or even hundreds of years to lay out a major event, and the most important thing they lack is patience.

Richard was also looking at Nereus, and he always felt a little strange, because in this kind of sincerity, under the witness of the envoys of the Holy Tree Dynasty and the Millennium Empire, Nereis came out wearing this dress, which was equivalent to saying to the major giants Don't vote for me. What is the purpose of this?

In addition to doubts, Richard still had to admit that this dress did fit Neris, and if he was not careful, even his mind would flutter a little.

The time for candidates to enter the venue has passed. The celebrant was supposed to ring the bell, but as soon as the bell rang, candidates who did not arrive at the venue would be disqualified. But the host seemed to have gotten some hint, and he stood like that, not ringing the bell at all, just waiting for time to pass.

The best explanation for this strange move is that the chair that belonged to the eldest princess was still empty.

There was an eerie silence in the council hall, and all eyes fell on the empty chair. Since the wealthy families on the floating islands with voting rights did not raise objections, the nobles who watched from the sidelines were happy to watch the play. It's just that the old nobles who are really older and know some of the secret histories of the year are faintly worried.

At this time, a person suddenly walked in from the gate, and it was the turbidity current. He looked hurried, walked quickly to the center of the hall, first saluted all the nobles present, and then said solemnly: "I'm very sorry, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Wuding has just sent the news that she has set off from the Outlands an hour ago. But there are some small troubles on the way, and I am afraid that it will take a few minutes to arrive. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it was immediately full of energy

Anyone with some insight knows that returning to Norland from the Outlands is not a way to build a portal and come back. Outlands and Norland belong to a world system with different laws, and if you want to come back, you have to go through a series of spatial crossings, passing through dozens of transit planes. Some transit points are notoriously dangerous. Whether it is to go from Norland to the Outlands or back to Norland from the Outlands, the time it takes for the legendary powerhouse to be measured in years, and this must be lucky enough not to be seriously injured on the way. Now the eldest princess of Wuding can actually return from the Outlands in just over an hour?

Most people's first reaction is disbelief. However, Richard observed coldly, but found that the expressions of several famous powerhouses, including the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, were not sarcastic, but shocked, so he knew that this uncertain highness might really be able to rush back to Norland from the Outlands in about an hour, at least there was such a possibility.

At this moment Thor walked into the council hall, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Before electing the next emperor, allow me to announce an unfortunate news on behalf of the royal family. The Emperor of the League, His Majesty Philip, who alone laid down the place where the sun rises, has left us forever last night. His Majesty left a will, and his body will be classified into the Eternal Dragon Palace, so there will be no funerals and ceremonies. ”

There was a roar in the council hall, and all the nobles stood up at the same time, even Richard was startled from his seat, and for a moment he was at a loss

Philip is gone forever?

Although the Emperor himself said that his strength would soon be unable to maintain the Sanctuary, and his injuries were still getting worse, all the wealthy family owners, including Richard, were still hopeful. Philip has been silent for 30 years, and he has only done two major things at one end and one at the end. The first is to defeat the uncertain princess, and the second is to lay down the place where the rising sun rises, and then defeat the two super powerhouses of Daxoldas, which can also be regarded as a half-major event.

Philip didn't do a few things in his life, but everything he did wasn't a miracle that ordinary people could achieve. So this time, the head of the wealthy family is actually secretly waiting for a miracle to happen.

The bloodthirsty Philip, as long as he sits there, even if he has no strength at all, will make people inexplicably confident.

After all, the alliance still has the emperor in the ...... In the past, many people in despair would think like this.

But now, His Majesty is really gone.

After a commotion, there was a sudden dead silence in the council hall. Most of the people were at a loss, not knowing what to do, but suddenly they felt that the future of the alliance was bleak, as if the sky was also cloudy.

Count Kimberle stood up at this point, greeted Thor, and then said aloud: "As a sign of respect for His Majesty Philip, our thousand-year-old empire is willing to cede half of the previously agreed interests. ”

The earl's words provoked another reaction, and many of the allied nobles cast grateful glances, but the Marquis of Milanes on the other side had a somewhat ugly face. After hesitating for a moment, the Marquis of Milanes finally stood up reluctantly and said, "We, the Holy Tree Dynasty, are also willing to give up half of our interests as a tribute to His Majesty's great cause. ”

With a fluttering promise, the two empires spit out more than a million square kilometers of territory. The Count of Kimberbell didn't care, he said it sternly, and he was indeed paying tribute to Philip's great deeds. Milanes was dripping blood in his heart, he had the heart not to follow the Count's Tiyì, but he knew that once he did, he would immediately become an enemy of the thousand-year empire and the Holy Alliance.

But before Milanes could finish speaking, there was a sudden burst of wild laughter in the air of the council hall: "What half of the benefits? (To be continued)
