739. The Fairy Queen and the Red Dragon
In the underground ruins of Longtai Mountain, Queen Tyriana Dragon's Blood Thorn entrusts Rand with the matter of her return to the Demon Net in the Furnace Room at the bottom.
The Queen's Abilis Thorn is Tyriana's favorite magic elf, and it is also the oldest magic elf in Tyriana's lineage.
"She won't agree."
Rand shook his head slightly, Rand knew that if it weren't for Queen Tyriana and the high-level dragon blood thorn Andilis, Abilis would have returned to the magic net long ago.
"I will convince her that the fairy queen of Dragon's Tooth City has more responsibilities for the world, and there are some things that we can't choose", the queen's words revealed a bit of helplessness, "All you have to do is help her, at present, you are the only one who can make her break through, and I will prepare everything for you." β
Rand was a little puzzled: "But...... I'm still fighting the orcs, if the orcs come and attack one day......"
"I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry." The queen said.
"I'll do my best in Abilis's affairs," after talking about the next queen, Rand began to worry about the Terran royal family, "but what about the Red Dragon Royal Family if you leave?" You are the cornerstone of the kingdom, and within the kingdom now, several big families have been eyeing His Majesty Du Sen, if you are gone......"
"Even if I am, they won't give up their ambitions, otherwise how did it come about nine years ago?"
Regarding the ambitions of the nobles, Rand also agreed: "Then you are not here, and they must not make trouble in Honglongyan?" β
"It's been brought up a long time ago!"
Perhaps because of the imminent departure, the queen has no worries about talking about the affairs of the kingdom: "The Wyvern, the Blue Lion and the Elk have already put forward a proposal to amend the law of succession to the throne, and this bill has been sent to Red Dragon Rock through Bennett, but the legendary dragons of Red Dragon Rock have more urgent issues, and I am afraid that the matter of amending the inheritance law will be delayed for more than a hundred years." β
"More pressing issues?" Rand could not have imagined a more pressing issue than succession to the throne.
The queen said as a matter of course: "Yes, there are more than a dozen legends and demigods who have proposed to revise the rules of the Red Dragon Literature Award, and dozens of others have disagreed, and they have been arguing about this matter for several months. β
What Rand didn't know was that a book called "The Legend of the Knights of Hamilton in the Royal Capital" was popular all over the royal capital, and in the Red Dragon Literature Award jury, many people also proposed to award the book to the Dragon Kingdom Literature Award.
However, in the Red Dragon Rock, this book has caused controversy: some legendary dragons believe that the role of the dragon maid in this book is not conducive to the external image of the dragon family; Another part of the dragon believes that the dragon maid is friendly and elegant as a setting to be encouraged.
The two factions were at loggerheads, and several special debates were held, so much so that the frivolous proposal of the Wyvern family to change the king's succession law was postponed until after the 24th debate, and the outcome was expected before the 1500th year of the Emperor.
In short, the mansions are very busy, and they have to work every day for the literature and culture of the kingdom, so how can they have time to manage such trivial tasks as the succession of kings?
The queen said helplessly: "The dragon clan is like this, the kingdom of the human race is just a servant for the dragons, and the human race submitted the proposal to the dragons, and it is just a peace of mind." β
"Uh......" Rand understood that the mansions could not point out any matter in the kingdom, so they could only continue to ask, "Then how are the nobles going to push Dusen down?" β
"It should be on December 12th to promote the high council of the kingdom to reconsider the kingdom succession law, and on December 12th is the discussion meeting of the winners of the Dragon Literature Award, on this day not only will the high council and the noble council be held, but the big nobles will also gather in Red Dragon Rock to determine the list of winners with all the legends."
"1212!" Rant nodded, "It's the right time. β
"I'm sure I won't be able to wait for that day, and you may not be able to help Abilis break through before December 12th," the queen sighed at this point, "As early as Bowya's grandfather's meeting, I advised them not to marry the big nobles frequently, but the Red Dragon family thinks that after everyone is a relative, they will not kill each other." They are a legendary family of thousands of years, and they don't know as much about humans as I am as a magic goblin. β
"Because we are relatives, we will not fight each other," Rand said in his heart, "This has to be a naΓ―ve person to think so." β
"Maybe their family is fighting too hard with each other, obviously they all have dragonborn blood, and they don't enjoy their lifespan for hundreds of years, so they like to intrigue and compete with each other......"
Queen Tyriana has witnessed the rise of the dragon kingdom and the ascension and fall of generations of monarchs who have reigned for hundreds of years or years, and now that the queen is about to return to the net, she can't suppress her nostalgia when she recalls the past with Rand.
The queen chatted for more than an hour before mentioning the kings of the Red Dragon in recent decades, all the way up to Balla Red Dragon, Jokoda Red Dragon, and Kaeya Red Dragon.
Balla Red Dragon is the father of Jokoda and Kaeya, and more than a dozen of his daughters and granddaughters have married into various families in the kingdom, so that almost every nobleman above the earl level in the kingdom today except Rand has the blood of the Red Dragon, and they and their sons are in line with the inheritance law of the dragon throne after the high rank.
The law of succession to the throne is a combination of rank, bloodline and popularity, that is, the heir to the throne is required to reach a high rank, and it is also required to be the immediate family of the previous king, that is, the son, daughter, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law of the old king, in addition to the approval of the Red Dragon Rock, the legendary national pillar and the great nobles.
Bauerya's move broke the tradition of the Red Dragon Royalty, which had few marriages with nobles and only married the Blue Dragon family a few hundred years ago.
The Blue Dragon Family is a family composed of the side branches of the Red Dragon Royal Family in the past dynasties, which can be said to be a clan.
However, during the reign of King Boya Red Dragon, the nobles such as the White Owl, the Flying Dragon, the Blue Lion, the Elk, the Blue Mandarin Duck, and the Maned Wolf all obtained the blood of the Red Dragon, and the nobles themselves were high-ranked, and they were the sons-in-law or grandson-in-law of Bolya, and they were closer than most of the Blue Dragon families in terms of kinship, so the throne after Balla became a thorn in the side of these big families.
"When Balla reigned for a long time, he had few brothers and sons, so he changed the marriage partners of the royal family in the past," the queen said with regret, "I didn't expect that I thought I could prevent more royal tragedies back then, but now I have created more tragedies." β
A piece of paper floated in front of Rand's face, on which several names were written.
"These are a few descendants of Bao Erya's direct line, if you can't guarantee Li Qi's ascendancy, please help me save the lives of these children, their mothers are all grown up by me."
Rand looked at the list and showed a somewhat surprised expression: "The people in here...... It's all his blood?? β
