Ryan's eyebrows rose under his hood, "You said his mother is dead, so is the current Queen of Earth City an impostor?" ”

System: "It's his mother's sister." ”

Ryan: "Yuri Moru should know about this. ”

System: "yes, he found out in the first place." ”

"I see."

Ryan let go of his staff and turned to Yuri Moru and asked, "If what I know is correct, you should have been recognized by the current King of Earth City, the successor of the next King of Earth City.

You deliberately allowed yourself to be sold by the bard to another prince and lose your place as the heir, why not now continue to hide your ambitions? ”

"I was going to give up."

Yuri Moru chuckled under his breath, "But luck allowed me to meet you." ”

Chapter 423

"When you meet, you are lucky...... That's a good reason, and it's something I've always adhered to. ”

Ryan faced Yurimoru, hooded over his face, his voice still calm, "If you want to become the ruler of the Earth City, I can pass this on to Michel, and he will work with the prince of the Fire City to assist you in ascending to the throne of Somurna."

"I'm sorry if you're still angry about what happened."

Yuri Moru looked at Ryan, no longer pretending, not hiding his inner ambition in the slightest, "Dear Monsieur Theseus, the situation in Somurna is different from the other main cities, and if I want to ascend to the position of ruler, I must have the help of a powerful man behind me. I need to work with you more than Orn.

Mr. Theseus, I want to be the true ruler of the Earth City, not a passive puppet bound to the royal family, influenced and interfered with by the will of the nobility. ”

Ryan stroked the shaft with his fingers, "I'm not Michelle's personality, and I'm not keen on trading, the City of Light was just an accident."

Ryan's intention was just to make a simple one-off trade, to get Yuri Moru and Orn on the line, and make them friendly friends.

Using two identities at the same time, hovering between the two princes, if you add a prince of the Windy City, Ryan feels that it is simply too tiring.

"You didn't stop my gaze just now."

Holding the heart of the rock, Yurimoru walked forward slowly, his deep voice extremely rational and direct, "Dear Mr. Theseus, you were aware of my approach and prying eyes at the beginning, but you did not stop it.

I'm sure you must have allowed me to watch the process of your deal with that holy beast for some reason. I believe and hope that I must have value worthy of your attention, which is why you will allow me to stay.

If I have what you need...... If you can help me gain true dominion over the Earth City, I can pay for it all the wealth that the rulers of Somurna have. ”

"Unity!" Ryan: "Did you hear what he was saying?" ”

Good guys, good guys!

His heart, which was not firm in the past, was immediately shaken!

"Don't worry." system," he said of all the wealth owned by the ruler, not all the wealth of the whole Somurna. ”

Ryan: "Very little? ”

"Of course it's a lot." System: "More than Orn gives." ”

Ryan: "! ”

Well, he really faltered, and there was still one last shred of sanity left.

"I've heard that the Mystery Merchant loves to trade, whether it's a magical item or a help, anything of value can be traded."

Yuri Moru stopped in front of Ryan's one-meter position, mistakenly thinking that the conditions he had given were not enough, and calmly and generously continued to add chips to his request, "Dear Mr. Theseus, if you agree to help me, I can sign a contract with you immediately."

The moment I become the ruler of the Earth City, not only the wealth of the ruler, but also the wealth of the nobles, I will also give it to you as a reward for your help to me. ”

At the moment when Yuri Moru's words fell, the system immediately whispered in Ryan's head: "Respected host, Yuri Moru at that time, he will have more wealth than Orn. ”

After the system finished speaking, he repeated the emphasis, "Really, it is richer, unless Orn directly succeeds him and inherits all the wealth of King Lebaye, which can only catch up with the wealth that Yuri Moru had at that time." ”

System: "After all, most of the money that Orn has and can control belongs to the royal family, and Yuri Moru's target is also nobles.

Of course, if Orn had been more decisive, he would have been able to follow Yurimoru's example and clean up all the nobles of the Fire City, and Orn would be richer than Yurimoru, who inherited the Earth City. ”

Ryan: "......"

Please, don't say it.

System: "It's a pity, the relationship between the royal family and the nobles in the City of Fire is quite friendly, unlike the royal family and nobles in the City of Earth.

The great nobles of the Earth City were split from the Imperial Family, and they had a certain amount of rule over the Earth City. ”

"I see."

Ryan removed his fingers from his staff and whispered in the direction of Yurimoru, "This is a huge and exciting fortune, so your goal is not only to become the ruler of Somurna, but also to rid the nobles of the Earth City.

In this way, you took the initiative to find a way to give up the position of successor because you did not have a way to deal with the nobles in the city of earth. ”

"It's not just the method, with my current strength, even if I can succeed as the ruler of Somurna, I will not be able to escape the control and interference of the nobles, and I will be even less free than I am now."

Yuri Moru's eyes lowered slightly when he said this, his ambition was replaced by a sad emotion, and he quickly retracted, and his voice did not change much from just now, "Mr. Hughes, I don't know if you are not aware of the situation in Somurna, among the five main cities of the human race, except for the central imperial city, only Somurna has the largest number of nobles.

Most of the nobles of the Earth City were split by the former royal family, and their collective control over the Earth City was not inferior to the King's rule over Somurna. ”

"The aristocracy is greedy, and they are more self-interested."

Ryan, "There are many restrictions on cooperating with nobles to rule a main city. If you want to truly take control of Somurna, teaming up with the nobles is not a great option, and I can understand your concerns. ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

Yurimoru bowed his head with the Heart of Solid Rock in his arms, and after a few seconds, he stood up and looked at Ryan with expectant eyes, "Dear Mr. Theseus, you didn't directly refuse me, that is the hope that I may get your help, I wonder if you are willing to continue to listen to my few more requests?" ”

Ryan bowed his head slightly, silently granting his request. The staff raised slightly, controlled the Nebula Transfiguration Chair, and sat down opposite Yuri Moru.

"Thank you very much."

Yuri Moru also followed Ryan's example, and sat down on the nebula chair with joy and nature in his eyes, straightening his waist and sitting in a gentlemanly posture.

Yuri Moru's right hand stroked the face of the Solid Rock Heart, in exchange for an affectionate backlash. He pondered quietly in his mind for a few seconds, and after arranging his simple words, he continued to Ryan: "Dear Monsieur Theseus, my father is the king of Somurna, and my true mother is the daughter of an archduke. ”

"The king and the nobles are in control of Somurna......," Yuri Molu said after a pause, "and the nobles include my mother's father. ”

"The marriage between the royal family and the 'nobility', if it is not about loving each other, is usually for the sake of relationships, cooperation, and more stable transactions."

Ryan took out two glasses of pineapple juice from the storage space, and magically handed one of the chilled pineapple juice to Yurimoru, "According to your attitude towards the nobles and the royal family, it seems that there is some kind of dangerous or unfriendly deal between the king of Somurna and the Grand Duke. ”

"Thank you,"

Yuri Moru filled the ice cup, caught the pineapple juice floating with cold air, closed his eyes slightly and opened them again, "Your guess is right, my mother is a victim of this marriage contract, and I am a tool used by the nobles to devour the royal family.

If it weren't for the marriage deal of interest and conspiracy, my mother would have been a famous sword master by now.

Mother's father and other nobles in order to get the royal power...... Led by my mother's father, the nobles made a deal privately, ruined my mother's talent and abilities, and forced her to marry my father.

My father loved my mother very much, and everyone said that, and I wasn't sure if it was true or not, because I only saw the deal.

His father was not Somurna's original successor, and there was another better prince in the city of Earth. In order to obtain the position of ruler, my father turned to nobles who were not supposed to be involved in the royal family, and married the daughter of the Grand Duke, who was my mother, and had the right to compete with another prince for the right to rule.

I was born shortly after my father succeeded to the throne, and at that time my father had become king with the help of the nobility, and he did not have enough power to suppress the nobility, so the nobility began to show its ambitions. ”

"Dear Mr. Hughes." Yuri Moru looked at Ryan with a sincere look in his eyes, "I'm not just an archmage, I also inherited my mother's will to become a sword master. ”

"Asking for help without enough strength, devouring and being devoured are all possible outcomes."

"So your request also includes that you don't want to be like your father and rely on the help of nobles to become king."

But when you are sold by the Bard to the prince of the Windy City, the king of Somurna...... The new prince may be to motivate you to grow up even more, he has a private relationship with the Temple of Light, haven't those nobles of the Earth City come to you? ”

The reason why the king agreed with another prince to deal with the Temple of Light in private was not necessarily that he did not agree with the prince's idea of using the power of the Temple of Light to eradicate or get rid of the interference and rule of the nobles.

The aristocracy is mostly greedy.

The more incompetent Yuri Moru and the other prince become, the more unbridled their ambitions become.

It's just that the royal family and the nobility of Somurna should have some kind of balance between them, so the current king has not been replaced.

"I am the child of the daughter of the Grand Duke, the best prince in the City of Earth, and even if I claim to be just an archmage, I am still the most suitable successor."

Yurimoru closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "But I know a secret, because this secret I can be sure that I will never be the king's heir." ”

"What's the secret?" Ryan held the juice cup in his hand and adjusted the straw, and his tone was indifferent, "Referring to the current Queen of Earth City, isn't she actually your real mother?" ”

Yuri Moru opened his eyes, "Mr. Theseus, it seems that you are not completely ignorant of Somurna. ”

"It's not that I understand. Michelle likes to say that there is not much to hide from the Mystery Merchant, and of course the Mystery Merchant here refers only to me and him. ”

Ryan, "I think of some secrets from your words, and I wonder if your mother died from your father, or from that group of nobles?"

I prefer that your mother died in the nobility, so that there would be another, almost exactly like your mother, to succeed her as queen of Somurna. ”

Ryan's voice was a little softer, and his words were like a free breeze, casually reaching Yuri Moru's ear, "My guess may be rude, but I'm more curious about the truth. You are the daughter of the Grand Duke and the child of the king, and the king is jealous of the nobles, and perhaps your mother's death, I suspect that your father and the nobles were involved. ”

With the help of the power of the nobility to achieve ambitions, they will start to worry about the nobility depriving themselves of their rule and destroying their country.

Holding the ice glass in his hand, Yuri Moru took out a small bowl and poured it out, without directly answering Ryan's guess, moved the delicate small bowl to the mouth of the Heart of Rock, and raised his head to drink the remaining juice in the cup.

Gulping down, the cold juice calmed the hot mood, Yuri Moru took a deep breath, fell back slightly depressed and lost on the Nebula's chair, and raised the empty glass in his hand, "Mr. Theseus, I heard that sugar can make people forget their troubles, this wonderful taste is really lovely. ”

"I had a deal with Padraic and sold him some pineapple candy."

Ryan, "It's a juice made with pineapple, and I added a little bit of honey to add it to the taste. ”

"It's a delicious juice, and I'm lucky to have such a sweet taste today."

Yuri Moru looked down at the heart of the rock in his arms, "It's been a long time since I've lived in such a free environment, and even to practice swordsmanship, I have to rely on traps and demonic beasts to carve out space underneath my room. ”

The Heart of Solid Rock cracked a small slit under his eyes, drank the juice in the bowl, and was paralyzed in Yuri Moru's arms with satisfaction, and the flower of Theaora bloomed more, and the skin of his whole body looked soft and easy to pinch.

"As you just guessed...... Mr. Hughes, my mother died of a nobleman, and it was my father's temptation that caused the nobleman to kill his mother. ”

Yuri Moru pressed his palm against the wall of the cup, hoping that the cold feeling would calm him down, "The nobles didn't know what their father had done, and when their mother died, they noticed a mistake, and they immediately dedicated the daughter of another Grand Duke, who had been prepared in advance, to the king in secret.

Her father took in the daughter of the Grand Duke, who was similar to her mother, and made her the queen of Somurna. It was the saddest time for me, and it was also the time when I grew the fastest, and I was lucky enough to meet my mother's mentor, who helped me a lot.

In order to prevent me from having too much contact with the nobles, and in order to prevent me from befriending my father, both the nobles and my father interfered with my growth......"

"Mr. Hughes." Yuri Moru raised his head and looked at Ryan with a sad gaze, "We can't reach a higher status by relying on me and my mother's mentor alone, including the prince who is now chosen, we are all tools used by our father.

Even if I accept the help of the nobles, I still cannot be qualified as a successor, and my father wants him to be the eternal ruler of Somurna, who can sacrifice everything, including us. ”

The sadness in Yurimoru's eyes was firm with the words, and his eyes once again showed a firm conviction, "I want to become the true controller of the Earth City, not subject to the nobles and my father, and truly control the Earth City in my hands, and the imperial power is higher than the nobles."

When her mother died of persecution by the aristocracy, she was already because her father was about to end her life, and it was her father who made her wait for death in pain...... I have witnessed my mother's death, I know the truth that my mother is willing to marry my father, and I want them to repent of their mistakes and let them experience the pain that their mother has suffered.
