"It seems it's time to bid farewell to this world. It's a pity that our Principality of Shayeru did not gain any benefits from the Third Holy War. On the contrary, we offended those guys."
"In Flowing Light City, Land of Shadows, I originally thought that the ancient ferocious beasts were the top combat power in this world, but I never expected that there would be people who were superior to the ancient ferocious beasts. It's too outrageous. Even if this situation were placed in ancient times,
No one believes in the age of magic."
"From now on, the Principality of Shayeru will be handed over to you to rule. As I said before, businessmen are only interested in profit, and face is far less important than gold coins."
Elba, the eight-clawed spider, the richest man in the ancient continent, Grand Duke Shayel. The once high-spirited man has long since disappeared, replaced by an old body.
Elba was lying on the bed, his voice seemed erratic. If it weren't for the three great magisters present who delivered the power of life, he would actually have died long ago.
But the current situation is that since Elba can no longer withstand the life force delivered to his body from the outside world, to be precise, he will die tonight, and before he dies, he will naturally have to explain to his son what happened.
Things.
In the eyes of the Grand Dukes of Shayulu, the most important thing is not the interests of the principality, but the rise and fall of the family. This is also the reason why Elba has worked hard to please the City of Shadows in recent years. Otherwise, with his business philosophy, he would never
What kind of loss-making business are you doing?
After all, Elba was just an only son, and he had carefully cultivated him for more than forty years. He felt that everything was a matter of course, so he died and his son succeeded him.
"I dare to ask you three, is my father really hopeless now?"
"If there is no way to determine this problem, then I don't know how to deal with it!"
Bronster is the son of Elba, the Grand Duke of Shaylu. He pursues the philosophy of putting gold coins first, and has already practiced to the level of a great swordsman, but he is a real peak powerhouse.
Bronster did not react when he heard this, but he turned to look at the three great magisters standing behind him and asked with a smile.
The three great magisters nodded at the same time, saying that Grand Duke Elba's death was approaching, and unless the gods came to the world, he would not survive tonight. Moreover, the three great magisters also stopped and would not continue.
Send the power of life to Archduke Elba.
"That's it, then I'm relieved. After all, father, you have controlled the Principality of Shayel for many years, but you can't get rid of it by violent means. In other words, I don't want to see anything unpleasant happen."
"It's just that... I don't agree with what you said. First of all, my succession to the position of Grand Duke Shayul is entirely due to my ability to surpass you, not the blessings after your death."
"Secondly, why should I compete with Flowing Light City in the Land of Shadows? In terms of strength, the peak experts are under the ancient ferocious beasts, and the ancient ferocious beasts are under those seven alien species. Why do you think I should go?
To provoke that kind of terrifying existence, all it takes is to spend some dragon crystals and gold coins every year, which the Principality of Sayeru can fully afford."
"Finally, the world has changed a long time ago. You are at best a monarch in the history books. It's better not to forcibly interfere with my future. That would be too ridiculous."
"You should feel gratified. After all, everything I show now is the result of your careful training from childhood. Since the family believes in 'more than gold coins', how much can you sell for, father?" As Bronster spoke, he took out a crystal bottle from his arms. Before his father Elba could say anything, the solution in the crystal bottle was poured into his mouth.
Accompanied by a pungent and unpleasant stench, the once-famous Archduke Elba of Shayrus turned into a pool of blood, but not even a complete body was left. Looking at Bronster, he was rubbing
Holding a scepter, there is no sadness or joy in his eyes.
"Three great magisters, thank you for your meticulous care over the years. But...I don't like to share any secrets with outsiders. Those three should just die tonight. After all, I still have
Another thing to deal with."
Bronster spoke again, and then crushed a wax bead. As the candle was crushed by him, an extremely sweet smell began to spread in the room. Looking back at the three great magisters, they first vomited blood.
, unable to cast any spells, unable to escape, and eventually all died.
From the day his father Elba became ill, from the moment three strange great magisters arrived in Cadian City out of thin air, Bronster secretly used his own power to implant three-point death potion into each other's body.
It is a kind of death potion that will never be noticed by the peak powerhouse as long as it is not triggered. In other words, only Bronster can control the life and death of the three great magisters, while the other three have never been aware of it from beginning to end.
Everyone was kept in the dark.
"Destroy this courtyard. After all, this is where my father is buried. I still have this etiquette." Bronster stood up and left, and following his instructions, two afterimages instantly destroyed the entire scene.
Courtyard.
In the darkness, he came to a stone tower deep in the palace. But this time he did not chat with the night watchman. As the two heads fell to the ground, he stepped on the steps.
"If my father is a competent monarch, then my mother is worse than an ant."
"You have lived for most of your life. Apart from spending all day long, have you ever done anything beneficial to the principality? It's so ridiculous. You don't even deserve to have anything to do with me."
Bronster sat on the balcony and said this while admiring the moonlight. However, the room behind him was already filled with blood.
Everyone, including Mrs. Shayrou, Bronster's mother Marilyn, and more than a dozen maids, have lost their heads.
The blood slowly flowed along the cracks in the stone, and finally the entire stone tower seemed to be wearing a short skirt, which looked very strange. But Bronster narrowed his eyes slightly, silently waiting for the first ray of morning light to arrive.
"My father Elba died last night, and my mother Marilyn was so desperate that she also chose to commit suicide."
"I will succeed the Grand Duke Shayul. I believe you don't have any objections, right?"
"By the way, although there won't be any big changes, I still hope that everyone can stay safe today. After all, some moths have already harmed the interests of the principality. It's better to take advantage of the day and eradicate them today." The next day at the imperial meeting, Elba did not show up, and was replaced by Bronsted. Bronsted was seen wearing a brocade robe, holding a gemstone scepter, and said without a doubt.
The close ministers present were not surprised when they heard this. On the contrary, they bowed and saluted one after another to congratulate the transfer of power. After all, the people standing in the palace hall today were all Bronst's confidants who had devoted themselves to protecting him for many years. Naturally, they were happy with this.
The result appears.
After that, hundreds of nobles were executed on the spot by Shayul's cavalry in the aristocratic area of Cadian City. There was no explanation, and there was no chance, just because those guys chose to support Elba instead of the current Shaylu Archduke Bruns.
Special.
The sudden farce came to an abrupt end. The city of Cadian welcomed the new Grand Duke Shayul, and Bronster even promulgated several laws in public with high spirits to win over people's hearts.
But a certain figure in coarse linen clothes went in the opposite direction, silently stepping out of the city gate, and finally disappeared. The breeze blew, and the cheap robe was lifted up, and I saw that this man had a skull tattooed on his arm.
, but it is a mark that only pirates can imprint on the surface of the body.
