three hours later.
The guard who changed the shift pointed to the darkest cell in the far corner and asked in a low voice, "How is the third prince?"
"I took a look just now, he is sitting in the corner now, there is no problem."
Hearing this, the tall guard opened the small window and looked at it. He saw Ling Chunan sitting in the corner with his head down and leaning against the wall. He closed the window and nodded, "Go down and rest."
Everything in the dungeon was normal. During this period, the second prince came to see it again, and satirized Ling Chunan. He found that he didn't respond and left in disappointment.
The next day, the eldest prince came back early and appeared at the king's funeral with the heartbroken queen. He looked around, but did not see Ling Chunan, "Queen mother, where is the third brother?"
"He, he was locked up by Del."
"why?"
"We were already controlled by his people at that time, and I don't know what happened in the end." The queen wiped her tears, "I didn't expect Del to do this." After that, she burst into tears.
And the little princess Karana, who wanted to rush into the dungeon to rescue him after learning that Ling Chunan was imprisoned for the first time, was still under house arrest at this time in her room.
"Kalana, don't blame brother for being cruel. Since you don't like Rhodes, then I will choose another husband for you. Brother dowry has already been prepared for you. After I ascend the throne, you can go." The second prince is still a little concerned about this sister. After all, this time he was able to get the imperial edict so smoothly. She can be said to be the biggest hero. He was able to borrow the manpower for this rebellion from a neighboring country because of the neighboring country. The prince of the country took a fancy to Karana.
"roll!"
Karana didn't expect the second prince to be so shameless, and was so angry that he overturned the teacup and teapot on the table. She had already heard that the most powerful prince in the neighboring country was a rogue, and he was older than her. Double it.
No, she can't marry him.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and Karana was furious, "Go away! I won't marry him!"
"Karana, I'm Rhodes, I'm here to rescue you." Rhodes' voice came from outside the door, and then the door was opened and closed with a click.
Rhodes? Karana has some doubts in her eyes. Since the first prince found out that she was under house arrest by Rhodes last time, and he reluctantly let her go, the two have not had any other communication. How could he think of saving her now? already
Thinking of the previous experience, Karana was full of vigilance, "What are you doing here?"
"I just came back from the sideline. I heard that you were locked up by the second prince, so I came to save you." Rhode's voice was very sincere, "Karana, I love you, even if you don't love me, you don't want to marry me. Give it to me, then you deserve better, you can't just be forced to marry an old and ugly man."
Although she was very moved, Karana still didn't believe Rhodes, "I'm waiting for my brother to save me." And General Kurus, thinking of that man, Karana's face turned a little red.
"The third prince is imprisoned in the dungeon. You should know this if you want to come here, and the first prince has just returned and is still attending His Majesty's funeral, and now the entire palace is under the control of the second prince's power, the first prince is completely helpless. Even General Kurus, who has one-third of the military power in the country, most of his troops are in the frontiers, and he is powerless about the affairs in the palace." Rhode persuaded again, "I also sneaked in, Karana, with you. I'll go."
Karana was obviously a little tempted. Rhode was right. She also expected to save the third brother, and the eldest prince didn't seem to be able to get out. Besides, Rhode was someone she once loved. It was quite righteous before that last time.
Seeing Karana hesitate, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to persuade, "It's getting late, I sneaked in while the guards were changing shifts, and if they come in a while, we won't be able to leave. "
Karana looked at the sky outside the door, and finally agreed to leave with Rhodes.
I have to say, Karana is still a little too naive.
"Host, little princess Karana was taken away by the male protagonist." 098, who had been helping Ling Chunan to observe the current situation in the palace, reported, "Are you going to save her?"
"She's fine." Ling Chunan was lying on the rattan chair, "The male protagonist won't do anything to her for the time being."
At this time, 098 finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Host, how did you do it? How could the person in the dungeon be so realistic?" 098 was not so surprised that Ling Chunan was able to escape, but that What happened to the substitute? He actually moves!
"Ah?" Ling Chunan kindly explained it, "It's a dragon language magic. I call it mirroring, and even if someone touches him, no one can recognize it's not me."
"...Dragon language magic?" 098 was shocked, "I don't seem to have seen you learn dragon language magic."
"Oh, that's probably my talent." Ling Chunan said in a flat tone.
"… "
The time has finally come to the enthronement day set by the second prince.
The residents of the capital gathered on the streets one after another. The grief of the king's passing a few days ago was swept away, and they were all welcoming the new king of the empire, and everyone was smiling.
"It seems that the previous king's actions were not so satisfactory to the people." Ling Chunan, who was standing in the crowd, sighed.
"Is your baby sad?" The giant dragon held Ling Chunan's hand.
"No." Ling Chunan shook his head, his face calm.
The giant dragon obviously thought he was forcing a smile, so he kissed him on the side of the face pitifully, and when he saw Ling Chunan staring at him, he smiled shyly at him.
"Host, the male protagonist seems to want to use the little princess to ascend to the throne, and plans to tear his face with the second prince and snatch the king's position." 098 said, "He got the help of the Magic Association and the Swordsmen Association, and I don't know where to get it. Seal of the King."
"Well." Ling Chunan nodded, "If there is no accident, the person who will hold the enthronement ceremony in a while should be the male protagonist."
Rhodes is very proud now, the second prince is now locked up by him, the first prince has no power in his hands, and he tried to block him from the enthronement ceremony. When he reacts, everything is a foregone conclusion. And he has the little princess Karana in hand, as the husband of the imperial princess, he can justifiably inherit the throne.
The subjects laughed and laughed in the streets, singing and dancing to celebrate the birth of the new imperial king.
In fact, most ordinary people only care about the stability of the country, and don't care much about who the king is, so this enthronement ceremony doesn't mean much to them. They are happy for the month-long carnival that follows.
Rhode walked up to the high altar surrounded by his supporters. At this time, standing on it was the archbishop of the temple. Rhode stopped in front of the archbishop, and he couldn't hide his pride in the depths of his eyes.
The archbishop held a scepter, with a divine radiance on his body, and a kind face.
"Lord Torres, please tell Almighty God why you want to take over as the leader of the empire?"
"Because I want to lead the empire to glory, I want the people of the empire to gain a wider territory, and I want Rand to go to glory!"
"It's just a lot of nonsense." Listening to the male protagonist babbling on the stage, 098 couldn't help but complain.
"He's right," Ling Chunan caught 098's words, "After he ascended the throne, he did develop towards expanding the empire's territory."
098 turned the corner at this time, yes, the male protagonist after becoming the king of the empire in the plot did expand the territory for the country, but at the same time, it also turned the rand empire into a country of war, and it has been a long time since then. In the war, the people are not living.
"It's time for my eldest brother to appear." Ling Chunan suddenly said when Rhodes' eloquent talk attracted everyone's fascination and the archbishop was about to crown him.
"Our empire doesn't need war! What we need is peace! Therefore, you are not fit to be king."
Ling Chunan's voice just fell, and a shout came from outside the crowd.
The crowd dispersed from both sides, revealing the figure of the arrogant eldest prince behind.
He walked calmly, walked up to the altar without haste, and stood opposite Rhodes.
When he saw General Kurus behind the eldest prince, and the soldiers of high rank, Rhode's face suddenly became ugly. He subconsciously looked at the combat power he brought, but found that whether it was the Swordsmen Association or the All the members of the Magic Association were replaced.
In front of him, the Archbishop who had just been bought by him last night looked extremely respectful when he saw the First Prince.
Undoubtedly, he is now fighting alone.
Where is the problem? Rhodes was puzzled.
"My father had an oral decree before he died, and the next heir to the throne is me." Under everyone's attention, the eldest prince took out a white memory stone, and the picture was exactly the picture of the king before his death.
Hearing the king clearly say that the next successor is the eldest prince, and then the persecution of the second prince, and the inexplicable appearance of the princess-in-law, the citizens who were present immediately became unhappy.
"I heard that there was chaos in the royal family. After all, the king and queen have always been very affectionate, and I heard that several princes get along very well. I didn't expect such a good show when they came to the throne."
"Yeah, and the king seemed to be looking for a husband for the little princess a few months ago. As a result, two days ago, the second prince announced that she was going to marry another country. Today, a princess husband appeared out of nowhere. The little princess is really pitiful. "
"I think the third prince is the most pitiful. Originally he was the most qualified person to inherit the throne, but he was morally coerced by the king and promised not to participate in the competition. That's all, and he was imprisoned by the second prince. How's it going."
…
Hearing the discussion, the eldest prince subconsciously looked at the place where Ling Chunan was standing just now, but saw that he was a rare smile at him.
At this time, Rhode stared coldly at the eldest prince in front of him. He finally reached the top, but he was cut off at the last moment. How could he bear it
He is still sober, knowing that if he kills the eldest prince in person, he may miss the throne from now on, but Rhodes's two levels of magic and martial arts have now reached the eighth level, and he can be regarded as a master in the forefront of mankind.
And the most important thing is that, as the only person who cultivates both magic and martial arts, no one knows his attack methods.
Rhodes was complacent, he was confident that under the watchful eyes of the public, the eldest prince, who was only a sixth-rank swordsman, was silently plotted to die by others, and no one would suspect him.
However, just as Rhode's fatal blow was fired, a tiny white light collided with his attacking force like lightning, just less than ten centimeters away from the eldest prince.
Looking at the eldest prince who was safe and sound, Rhode subconsciously looked in the direction of the white light, just in time to see Ling Chu Nan nodded slightly towards him.
"Host, the male protagonist seems to be shocked." 098 said.
"Well, because he satirized 'me' in the dungeon before going out this morning, and now I'm here." Looking at the male protagonist whose pupils were constricted, Ling Chunan's voice was smiling.
"And it also ruined his whole plan." 098 helped Ling Chunan to complete the second half of the sentence.
After such a disturbance by Ling Chunan, Rhode's actions were naturally discovered, and he was quickly taken down by General Kurus's people.
"The counterattack value is +10%, the current counterattack value is 100%, congratulations to the host for completing the task." The host's efficiency is high, and 098's voice is light, "Does the host return to the system space immediately?"
