A huge ball of magic light suddenly lit up in the city of Arantis, and after the magic ball rose into the air, it quickly spread. The spread grew larger and larger, and soon all the balls of light joined together, forming a huge magical light shield that enveloped the entire Arantis.

Such a big movement alarmed all the people in the imperial capital, and they all ran to the street to look up, and people were talking, "What is this?"

Some of the older people vaguely guessed what this was, and immediately turned pale with fright, "Something big has happened! This is the legendary super forbidden spell-level protective magic known as the 'Guardian of the God of Light', not to mention our human race, even a dozen giant dragons can't break it when they attack at the same time!"

Outside the Wizards' Guild, Prince Gallaher looked at the huge magic light shield above his head and his heart settled down slightly. The emperor was suddenly assassinated, the prince was undecided, and the situation in the empire had reached a critical situation of collapse, with this "god of light guard" that the foreign enemy could not enter for the time being and the internal troubles could not get out, with the 100,000 forbidden army and 200,000 guards in his hands, he was confident that he would stabilize the situation in the empire as soon as possible.

Prince Gallaher turned to the head of the Wizards' Guild, Theodos, and saluted solemnly, "If the empire can survive this catastrophe smoothly, the people of Li will be spared the rebellion of the sword soldiers, and it will all depend on the righteousness and support of the Magister." ”

As the first Terran magician, Theodorus Magister is over 150 years old and has been in charge of the Wizards' Guild for more than 50 years. The Magister has a clumsy body, gray hair, a pair of whitewashed eyebrows, and a magic wand that doubles as a crutch with a jet-black body in his hand.

The Magister said in an old voice, "I didn't expect this 'Light God Guardian' to be activated again in my office. The assassination of the emperor is indeed a misfortune for the country, and I deeply regret it to the Magicians' Union. But this super-forbidden spell-level protective magic consumes a large number of magic crystals every second it opens, and it will wear out even faster if it is attacked, and I can only maintain this magic circle for the prince for three days, during which all the magic crystals consumed by the empire. ”

"I know this, and as soon as I go back, I will arrange for the consumption of magic crystals from the first day of operation of the magic circle to be sent. ”

The Magus continued: "If there is a foreign invasion, my Wizards' Guild will call on all magicians to participate in the war, and fight to the death to defend the survival and glory of the Terrans! ”

Prince Gallaher's face turned red, "I know this. There are still too many imperial affairs that I need to take care of personally, so I will take my leave first. ”

Magister Theodorus sighed softly and said nothing more.

When Prince Gallaher returned to the Emperor's Daily Affairs Palace, several important ministers of the Empire, including Gulnoro, the Imperial Prime Minister, Grand Duke Amaya, the commander of the City Guard, Kasper, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard, and Aru, the chief of the Inner Chamberlain, were already waiting in the palace.

The armored Commander of Caspar immediately stepped forward to report: "Timothy, the king of Holo, has escaped from the imperial capital in advance, and the dragon scale guard has only caught some small fish and shrimp in the palace and post house that have not had time to escape, and the forbidden army is also searching for people closely related to the Holo Kingdom in the city. ”

Prince Gallaher had already expected this, and since Timothy had planned it in advance, he would inevitably get out before the assassination.

The head of the inner chamberlain, Aru, then stepped forward to report: "The body of the emperor has been transported back to the palace and parked, although it is tried to keep it secret, the emperor and several concubines have received the news, and the inner palace is now crying. ”

Gallaher sighed softly, "The protective magic array has been opened, and there is no need to keep the emperor's assassination secret, I will enter the inner palace to meet the emperor and explain it in person later, and the emperor's future affairs will be bothered by Aru, and you can start to prepare." ”

Prime Minister Gurnoro stepped forward and said: "Prince, the most urgent thing now is to set a prince, as long as the new monarch succeeds to the throne smoothly, the internal stability will be stable." Then the new emperor can gather the six kingdoms and jointly send troops to defeat Holo and avenge the old emperor!"

"Although the emperor had a favorite prince before, the assassination was too sudden, and the emperor didn't have time to leave any last words or edicts, how can this prince decide?" said Gallaher with a headache.

Gurnoro immediately answered: "So far, the most suitable candidate for the prince is naturally only the Second Highness. His Royal Highness is known as benevolent, and he is the emperor's own son, so it is natural to be the next emperor. ”

Gallaher frowned and said, "What about Alex? Before that, the emperor had already made a preliminary decision in his heart to be located in His Highness Alex. ”

"If it was before the emperor's assassination, I couldn't make a conclusion between His Royal Highness and Second Highness. But the murder of the emperor was instigated by the Holo Kingdom and the Academy of Death, and everyone knows that His Highness is from the Academy of Death, and Timothy has always supported His Highness to succeed to the throne, so doesn't this incident have anything to do with His Highness?" Gurnoro retorted.

Grand Duke Amaya said with some dissatisfaction: "Since everyone knows that the Holo Kingdom supports His Highness, will His Highness instruct Timothy to do such a stupid thing that makes him bear the infamy of killing his father? There is no evidence to prove that His Highness is involved in this matter, and now the person behind the command is unknown, so it is probably inappropriate to rush to exclude His Highness from the prince, right?"

The dispute between Prime Minister Gulnoro and Grand Duke Amaya, the commander of the Forbidden Army, reflects the attitude within the empire towards the choice of the prince. The imperial civil officials led by Gulnoro mostly supported His Royal Highness, and the generals from the military generally supported His Highness's succession. The civil and military sides of the empire were at loggerheads, which was also one of the important reasons why Emperor Konstantin had been unable to settle down as a prince before.

The two argued, and both looked at Prince Gallaher.

"Whether this matter is related to Alex is still inconclusive, and it is true that the prince cannot be rushed to identify until the murderer is really identified. ”

Gurnoro asked, "Then who will take the lead in finding out the murderer and avenging the emperor?"

"Before that, the king will take on the task of summoning the six kingdoms and finding out the murderer to avenge the emperor. ”

"There is no problem for the prince to bear it alone, but if the prince is a regent for a long time, I am worried that the six countries will not accept it, and the rumors will be unstable, and the people's will will not be uncertain?" said Gurnoro.

Prince Gallaher's purple eyes glared, "Bastard, if I really want to be the emperor, with the 300,000 army in my hand, and you have the opportunity to talk in my ear?"

Prince Gallah was furious, and Gulnoro immediately did not dare to say any more. But the situation has also reached a stalemate, and although Gallah is in charge of the military, without the support of the civilian system headed by Gulnoro, the government will also fall into chaos.

Gallaher thought for a while and took the initiative to take a step, "Let people inform all His Highnesses to enter the palace to see the emperor for the last time, so as to find an opportunity to leave Alex and Grantham alone, and finally consider which of the two Highnesses has the ability to stabilize the current political situation." ”

Summoning Your Highness to the palace is indeed a matter of urgency, and Gurnoro agrees.

But he never thought that as soon as the chamberlain in the palace left, Nanbo, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, hurriedly broke in, "Report, Prince, Your Highness has led people out of the city in a hurry before the protective magic was formed." ”

"Ahh
