Chapter 8 The so-called kingdom, the so-called dragon
"No, it's impossible. Only dragons can fully activate the Dragon Calendar Stone, and dragons only have the body of a giant dragon, except for the only half-dragon..." Likelute lost his voice as he spoke, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Keep going up and down
"If you call a half-elf a half-demon, then a half-dragon is also a half-demon. Do you mean there is no difference between a dragon and a demon?!" Youmeng was aggressive, and his aura became more and more fierce.
Youmeng turned his gaze to the knights who were forming a circle, snorted coldly, and with an evil smile, a mysterious magic circle appeared on his body. A heart-stopping fear suddenly burst out with Youmeng as the center, and the kingdom
Covered by a bloody barrier
The entire kingdom suddenly fell into a strange blood-red field, and everyone's expressions were only filled with fear, as if their hearts were held by invisible hands, and they did not dare to move at all.
Subaru felt that the unknown witch in his mind began to stir, frantically destroying Subaru's body. The pain of his internal organs being torn apart made Subaru collapse to the ground, gasping for air, but he didn't know what was going on inside his body.
It's just an illusion
There was a drop of cold sweat on the heads of everyone in the Sage Association. Such a fierce momentum had only been felt by the contemporary Dragon King, but now they found the same feeling in a new "dragon", and they couldn't help but feel more and more frightened.
Of course, except for people like Emilia and Julius who are proficient in elf magic and have certain immunity methods, and people like Reinhardt who have buffs flying everywhere.
[Hidden attribute "Hades-Curse"] The voice of the system sounded in my mind
Yuexing frowned as he looked at Subaru who was lying on the ground experiencing some great pain.
"It's almost done." Yuexing looked at Youmeng and indicated with his eyes.
Youmeng nodded, regained his overwhelming momentum, walked aside and moved a chair to sit down.
Everyone's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the pupils of those with poor concentration were shrinking, obviously they had not recovered from the fear just now.
"Youmu Tokisaki, how about you give me some face and resolve this matter privately after the king's election is over," the representative of the Council of Sages said.
"Hey, people are so weak nowadays," Youmeng breathed out and leaned on the chair with her legs crossed.
"Okay, everyone." The representative of the Sage Association breathed a sigh of relief and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back.
"Since the distinguished guests from our country are here, if Tokisaki Yumu has an opinion regarding the recognition of the Dragon Miko, it will be the opinion of the Dragon Clan." The representative of the Sage Association said loudly, and the knights and candidates in the audience all had the same look on their faces.
It's a surprised expression
"I have no objection," Youmeng replied indifferently, rejecting the person thousands of miles away.
"It's okay, this acting skill" Yuexing said to Youmeng through the bracelet.
"It's not a big deal, sir, I'm a professional." Youmeng cast a proud look at Yuexing, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
"But where will this put the kingdom..." The civil servant who refused to admit defeat walked to the front of the team and shouted at the sage council.
"Hoo? Do you still have any opinions?" Youmeng's expression turned cold, and the majestic murderous intention covered the direction of the civil servant. The civil servant who bore the brunt fell to his knees directly on the ground, his body was shaking constantly, and there was a knife in front of his eyes.
A blood-red long sword, the pupils of the dragon head at the end of the handle shone strangely with red light, like the reincarnation of the devil king in the past, the civil servant rolled his eyes and fainted from fright
"Hey, can such a guy rule the country? It's ridiculous - I might as well let me be the so-called king." Youmeng sneered.
Subaru, who had regained his breath, climbed up from the ground awkwardly, panting heavily, his pupils expanding and contracting, and after a while he regained consciousness.
"Brother...who is that friend of yours...with so many knights, no one can stop him?" Subaru asked cautiously
"Who here can be bigger than a dragon, even though it's not a real dragon?" Yuexing shrugged, showing a [small scene, small scene] expression
"Everyone, since there is a better notary on the scene, let the king's election continue." The representative of the Sage Association gave the order, although it is not yet known whether the king's election can continue well.
The candidates calmed down one after another, regained their own confidence, and their eyes became firmer.
"Then, proceed to the next step and listen to the level of awakening of the candidates." The representative of the Sage Association sent a gaze to the Master Chief, and the knight who accepted the gaze walked forward again.
"Every one of the candidates should have their own opinions and positions. Please go ahead and let everyone in Hiroma know."
Representing the feelings of everyone in Hiroma, the Master Chief bowed deeply.
"Then first, please invite Lord Crusch and Knight Felix Aguero!"
"Hmm"
"coming"
After gathering his composure, Crusch nodded leisurely, while Phyllis raised her hand briskly, walked forward, and lined up next to her master.
"What do you expect from me when I take the throne? I intend to understand it in my own way. The Karustan family is an authority related to the royal family and has always had a certain influence on national affairs. If I can inherit the throne,
The government affairs and the running of the country will probably be carried on without any trouble—is that right?" He nodded with a calm expression.
Crusch's words were explained fluently, and everyone in the room who listened nodded in agreement.
"However, I'm sorry to the ministers who were expecting this, but this must be impossible." After hearing Crusch's words, the throne room fell silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, a commotion broke out.
Crusch looked at the stage without changing his expression, his dark green hair swaying, and his stern eyes were directed at the exquisite dragon paintings on the wall between the thrones.
"Luknica, the pro-Dragon Kingdom - This country has prospered and developed by abiding by the covenant exchanged with dragons. War, disease, and even famine, and various crises have been avoided because of dragons. In the long-term kingdom,
The word "dragon" has never disappeared in history." Looking at everyone who was understanding what was said, Crusch held his arms.
"Prosperity based on the alliance with the dragon is perfect. It blows away and burns the enemy country in the war. If there is a disease, it activates the magic power to heal people. If there is a famine, it uses the dragon's blood to bless the earth.
, all suffering is saved by the noble dragon, and all glory is promised——" Regardless of the brilliance of what he said, Crusch's expression when he spoke was not smooth, and he was speechless.
She closed her eyes in front of everyone and whispered softly
"Let me ask, don't you feel ashamed?" Returning to the quiet Guangjian, Zhang was filled with an unprecedented sense of tension.
"It was agreed that no matter how difficult or difficult it is, there will be a dragon to protect it out of the covenant. If you rely on this, you will fall. Once you reach the critical moment of worrying about life and death, you will rely on alternative means, and then you will never tire of it."
"I've said that, Crusch-sama!" In response to Crusch's harsh words, a member of the Sage Association stood up and showed his anger.
"It is unforgivable to despise the covenant! In the past, because of the covenant with the dragon, how many sacrifices did the kingdom suffer...How can you deny the accumulated history?"
"No, what this girl said makes sense," Youmeng, who was silent on the side, said, and everyone's eyes focused on that side.
"Luknica knew the power of dragons well, so he signed a so-called covenant. From then on, everything was accomplished by relying on the power of dragons. Regardless of prosperity or disaster, this has become a habit that is difficult to eradicate. If a real disaster comes, the dragon
When you can no longer take care of Lunika, whose strength will you rely on to save this disaster?" Youmeng said coldly.
"A kingdom that relies on the strength of others is ultimately an empty body." Youmeng shook his head and fell silent.
"What you said is absolutely true. If it would be destroyed without the protection of dragons, then this kind of kingdom would be destroyed. Too much favor breeds stagnation, stagnation brings about corruption, and degradation brings about destruction. I think so."
Crusch raised his fist and said in a solemn voice
"If there is no dragon, it will be destroyed. We must become dragons. Until now, the kingdom has relied on dragons. Everything must be carried by the king, the ministers, and the people."
"When I become King Zhixi, I hope to forget the covenant I have made with the dragon so far. As a result, it may lead to division. After all, the pro-dragon kingdom Lugunika is not the dragon's thing, but ours."
"The future may be difficult, or the disasters that I have boasted about in the past with the help of the dragon's power, or even changes beyond this may be waiting for me, but I want to live in a way that my soul will not be ashamed of."
The rising tone dropped, and Crusius shook his head and lowered his gaze.
"I have had doubts about the kingdom's existence for a long time. I think this trend is an opportunity given by God to correct it."
Although it is an ideal theory, it has an undeniable weight. Everyone is meditating on it and exploring the meaning expressed in it.
"Lord Crusch's opinion is clear. So, Knight Felix Argyle, do you have anything to say?"
After listening to Crusch's suggestion, the representative of the Wise Society turned the topic to Phyllis next to him.
From the perspective of the servant, show the purpose of the master
"As said, there is nothing left for me to make up for. Crusch-sama's considerations are just as Crusch-sama said. And the correctness of Crusch-sama's character will be proven in the following history.
——I have no doubt about whether my master will become the king." So seriously, Phyllis bent her slender waist and turned her huge trust into words.
"Well, I finally listened to what one person said...it seems like it was going to be something that would cause waves from the beginning."
Crusch's statement of faith came to an end, and the representative of the Council of Sages simply rectified the situation. To the Council of Sages and civil servants, as the most favorable candidate, her policy was very clear.
I'm afraid she will lose a lot of votes that she should have gained because of this meeting.
However, if you support her after hearing the speech just now, it will be an act of great trust.
"In the final analysis, people here are still a little backward in their ideas." Yuexing shook his head. If Crusch's ideas were placed in modern times, he would be a military strategist. But in a different world that has not yet undergone reforms, this idea seems to be
Somewhat advanced
Subaru nodded in agreement. Having read history, Subaru more or less understood the reasoning.
"I still don't know how the King's Selection will be decided..." The representative of the Sage Association sighed silently.
Deciding this, what we do with this purpose is to express our belief just now. Since there is no clear standard, we can only watch this slow and anxious discussion proceed.
"Then, please continue. The order is, starting from Lord Crusch's side."
"Well, are you finally here? Hyper concubine time."
Hearing the words of Marcos who had calmed down his emotions, the orange girl stepped forward with a proud expression.
"This speech is mixed with English, are you from Hong Kong?" Yuexing couldn't help complaining
"What HK?" Subaru asked confused
"It's a place name in our country, don't worry about it..." Yuexing said, holding her forehead.
"In an instant, the small crowd of eyes focused on Geous's concubine."
"It feels good to be able to use it skillfully. Princess, it looks great to be able to enter the upper class already."
Ignoring Priscilla puffing up her chest in a boastful way, and Aru giving compliments in a digressive way, Ignoring the eyes that looked like something that was more trendy than strange.
