After visiting Odikon, the Sword of the Furnace, Prince Chen sat on the left side of the book on his stomach, looking unwilling.
His mother was a political victim of the short-term friendship between Gran and Sealand. Since the moment he was born, Prince Chen has never enjoyed the treatment of a real prince in the Principality of Grande, but he will not be recognized when he returns to the Principality of Sealand. status identity.
This is not because of his mother's status as a foreign marriage, but because of his strength!
Every prince of the Principality of Sealand must use military force to conquer the public. All the kings of Sealand have always regarded the King of Sealand as their ultimate ideal. Therefore, the Royal Family of Sealand, which advocates iron and blood and conquest, will never admit that they are only trainee knights. waste.
It is precisely because of this that from the moment he was born, Prince Chen knew that life was not easy.
According to the law of conservation, if you want to get something, you must pay other prices, but if you want to get something, the price you need to pay far exceeds that of your brothers.
Although the Duchy of Granville does not have the tradition of subduing the public by force of the Principality of Sealand, the power struggle among the princes is the result of competition and compromise between several major forces. Say you want to support yourself.
The military headed by his father supported the First Prince.
The noble ministers headed by the four major families tend to support the second prince, at least the three major families have made it clear!
The church is also inclined to support the second prince. Clare, the red-clothed priest, even personally baptized the second prince with holy water, which is almost equivalent to presenting a gold medal for avoiding death. Even if the power struggle fails, the successor will be The grace of the God of Light must not be blasphemed.
In addition, several organizations that can affect the power struggle, the Royal Academician Committee, the Arena Club, the Mercenary Association, and the Temple of Wisdom, although they have not made a clear statement, but because of their mother, they are in St. Granburg. It's almost impossible to do any wooing.
Because I can't leave the palace at all!
This time I have worked so hard to finally leave the palace and the absolute sphere of influence of my two elder brothers. The reason why I chose to come to the Fortress of the Furnace is because according to the investigation, Odikon, the sword of the Furnace who guards the Fortress of the Furnace, is a truly strict man. The self-disciplined Honor Sky Knight hopes that through his good performance here, he will gain the support of this general, and thus influence his father, even if it is only slightly!
As long as the father no longer acquiesces, allowing himself to have the right to freely enter and leave the palace when he returns to St. Granburg, it will be a victory.
pity.
Although the two elder brothers could not affect the Fortress of the Forge, they were able to send their information to the Principality of Sealand. Their mission failed. Not only did they fail to gain the appreciation of General Shan Rogoyev, but they even worked so hard to win them over The supporters who came were buried.
"Is this despair?"
Prince Chen took a deep breath, deeply aware of his own powerlessness.
Now, no one in the whole world hopes for his father's health more than Prince Chen, because once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be the first batch of souls to die under the sword.
Although the royal family's struggle for power is obscure, it is far more cruel than that of the Principality of Sealand!
Nowadays, although the emperor of the Grand Duchy is in good health, he is already an old man in his seventies after all. When he was young, he had encountered accidents many times without any cultivation. , with limited effect.
"Prince!"
Suddenly, an old servant trotted over and said excitedly, "Our chance has come!"
This old servant was a loyal entourage brought by his mother from the Principality of Sealand. He personally took care of him and grew up. He didn't know how many dangers he had secretly resisted. He was also one of the few people he could truly trust.
"what chance?"
Never showing his weak side in front of anyone, Prince Chen's voice was quite calm.
"Reliable news, a space node secretly controlled by the Temple of Wisdom near the fortress was captured by a surprise attack by the Principality of Sealand. It is likely that Prince Ling over there came secretly for military exploits!"
Speaking of Prince Ling, the old servant added: "It's the youngest prince in the grade who has the talent of icy eyes, your cousin."
Prince Chen shook his head sarcastically.
"A few days ago, it was this cousin who wanted to turn me into a military honor?"
The old servant paused and did not continue to reply on this question.
"It is said that this space node is very special. It is on the verge of collapse of the law. Only magicians with 0-level magic power and trainee fighters who have not taken any magic potion can enter. Prince Ling will gather because of this. Qualified elites from various forces in the Principality of Sealand suddenly invaded, after all, according to intelligence, he is one of the most powerful students of the Sealand Academy of Sciences this year."
"In the era of the war of gods before the Academy of Sciences emerged, the Goddess of Wisdom was the life-and-death enemy of the Principality of Sealand. Even if more than a thousand years have passed, the feats of blaspheming the Goddess are enough to make them look sideways."
Prince Chen muttered in a low voice, but frowned again.
"But the entourage I brought was exhausted in the previous ambush, and this space node is so special, even if my entourage is still there, they still don't meet the conditions."
In the Principality of Sealand, the forces of the Academy of Sciences have already wiped out the Temple of War!
However, in the Gran Republic, the Temple of Wisdom still has considerable influence, enough to affect the influence of the imperial power struggle.
"Prince, we have no way out. We must do our best to seize this unique opportunity! Otherwise, once we leave the fortress and return to St. Granburg, we will never recover!"
hiss…
Prince Chen tried his best to think about the people who could ask for help, even the people he met once, or even the people he heard from others, his mind gradually calmed down.
After more than half an hourglass, Prince Chen took out a piece of paper, closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Help me investigate these people."
…
the next day.
Lei Luo, who was used to getting up early and was troubled by the strange changes in his body, was disturbed by the knock on the door.
Putting down the books and information he was looking for, Lei Luo frowned and opened the door. It was Prince Chen who had returned to the altar on the fifteenth floor of the fort tower with the help of the space-time scroll a few days ago.
At this moment, the prince was standing alone in front of his door, smiling generously and plainly.
"Prince Chen?"
Lei Luo was puzzled and saluted slightly, the brand new black academic uniform concealed his abnormality.
Prince Chen looked at the person in front of him, and because of the mission of the Goddess of Wisdom's Moon Scar space node, he couldn't help but think back to yesterday's investigation.
Raylo Guber!
Gu Bo, the dean of the new student grades of the Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences, one of the contenders for the honorary vice president, has received the attention of the Royal Committee of Academicians. Further development on its basis is of great significance.
Gu Bo's disciple Wushuang Jialie, known as the shadow of the sky, established the shadow of the sky mercenary group, which is most likely to hit one of the S-level powerful mercenary groups in recent years, and has a great impact on the mercenary association.
Knowing that this unremarkable first-year male student had such a big background, Prince Chen immediately knew what he had missed, and after secretly annoyed, he came to visit early in the morning.
Maybe my two elder brothers don't care about Lei Luo, and even if they need something, they will directly visit Gu Bo or Wushuang Jialie, but for the hopeless Prince Chen, Lei Luo's existence is like a life-saving straw, and he has been under house arrest for a long time There is really a need for some forces that can influence St. Granburg, even if it is only potential.
"Since I was ambushed by the Principality of Sealand that day, and I came back to see you once with the help of the space-time scroll, I was in a trance because of the loss of my relatives, and I didn't come to pay a visit. I am ashamed to say that my life was saved by Your Excellency. It’s hard to sleep and eat every day, so I came to visit early this morning, I hope you don’t blame me for being unreasonable.”
Just as he was speaking, Prince Chen actually saluted Lei Luo slightly, which immediately surprised Lei Luo, and hurriedly helped him up.
Not to mention the prince, even the ordinary nobles of the college have never treated Lei Luo like this.
In the academy, except for a few people, Lei Luo was unable to join the social circle of noble dances and banquets because of his status as a commoner.
The sudden behavior of Prince Chen really flattered Lei Luo, it was difficult to adapt, and the loss also felt a little strange.
"Your Highness doesn't have to do this!"
Lei Luo is no longer the little guy who just left the Onyx Lake. Of course, he doesn't believe a single word he said about saving the other party. If he is really grateful, he should have shown it when he asked his last name, why bother to delay it? Now.
Is it because of my background
Is it because of Teacher Gu Bo and Senior Brother Wushuang
Inviting Prince Chen to enter the house, Lei Luo was not in a hurry to take the initiative to ask, with a look of sincerity and fear, the prince will have a future blessing if he survives a disaster.
