Chapter 435 Catherine's Return

Although Lao Xie was impatient with this kind of mundane affairs, no matter what, the emperor came to greet him, but Lao Xie was not able to leave directly. What's more, the fat man who stayed here also came. As the nominal father of Stephen, Lao Xie had to give him face even if he didn't give the emperor face. In desperation, Lao Xie had to temporarily let go of Revelation and began to cooperate with the emperor to conduct cumbersome rituals.

After barely dealing with Emperor Wan, Lao Xie hid in the magic tower in the name of retreating and recuperating. No one else could see the other powerful people.

Of course, Constantine and Vivian, two confidants, were exceptions. Constantine directly accompanied Lao Xie into the Magic Tower. Although Vivian didn't have the nerve to move in, she changed her previous attitude and went to the Magic Tower to visit Lao Xie several times.

In fact, this is normal. The so-called beauty loves heroes. Although Lao Xie is not good at looking, he even duels with Vivian's brother once before, but he is a hero who saves the mainland! He successfully killed the Lich King and saved at least tens of millions of human lives. With this, he suddenly became the object of admiration for almost all the girls on the mainland.

This is even more true for aristocratic girls like Vivian who were poisoned by knight novels. When she heard that Lao Xie had done this big thing, she almost couldn't believe it. When she thought that she had become a nominal couple with such a hero, she felt that she was filled with happiness. She even forgot about her brother being beaten.

Kaz was naturally happy to see Vivian's performance. Vivian's brother and younger brother no longer disgusted as before. After all, they are also a member of human beings, and they are from a military family who admire heroes very much. Like Lao Xie, those who have made unparalleled achievements at a young age will naturally win their respect.

Carlos, who was beaten by Lao Xie for several months, even took the initiative to ask his sister Vivian to bring Lao Xie an apology, which was obviously a pity. Lao Xie was also very pleased for this. In fact, he didn't hate Carlos very much. After all, Carlos was just a pedantic knight. Although that kind of chivalry spirit was useless in Lao Xie's eyes, Lao Xie still looked down on those orthodox knights who could always stick to the chivalry spirit.

So, after receiving Carlos' message, Lao Xie immediately made a kind statement. He asked Vivian to bring back a magic spider that had evolved to level 6 as compensation for the last duel, because in that duel, Carlos's experience of mount, the fifth-level monster, the violent rhino, was killed by Lao Xie, which made Carlos feel really distressed for a long time.

But now Lao Xie gave him a better mount, so Carlos was naturally very excited. He even felt secretly grateful to Lao Xie. The unhappiness of the past disappeared in an instant.

Lao Xie lived a comfortable life in the Magic Tower, but with the return of the old mage and Catherine, his good days finally ended.

After all, this expedition to the Empire of Light has achieved a world-renowned achievement, and the Griffin Kingdom must celebrate it well. The previous welcome to Lao Xie's action is just a prelude. The real climax is still to be carried out when the main force returns.

Undoubtedly, as the commander who directly killed the Lich King, Catherine will once again become the protagonist of crazy celebration. This time, there will be as many as hundreds of thousands of people alone, and the city will not open at all. In the end, he has to put the official welcome ceremony to the Magic Academy. There is a wide training ground to carry out.

Almost all the well-known people in the Griffon Kingdom came, and almost all the nobles from other places were here. There were tens of thousands of nobles alone. In addition to servants, audiences, etc., it was simply crowded. The magic academy that occupied half of the mountain was almost filled.

The ceremony was very enthusiastic. When Catherine presented the trophy, the Lich King's golden skeleton corpse and his broken Lich King's robe to the Emperor's land, hundreds of thousands of people present cheered in unison, almost shouting the sky.

At this moment, Princess Catherine's heroic and upright posture was deeply remembered by everyone present.

The emperor was filled with tears of excitement among the cheers of the crowd. Even though he had been the emperor for so many years, he had never experienced similar situations. What made him most excited was that relying solely on the honor that Catherine brought him, he would definitely become a wise ruler in history forever, which also made him, who had no achievements passed down to his descendants. Finally, he had to try his wish.

Most of the people who played again had a good impression of Catherine and expressed their sincere congratulations to her for having such a great record.

However, there are some people who hold grudges about it, and of course the third prince hates the most. Since he was blinded by Catherine, he hired countless skilled healers, but he was unable to cure it in the end. Because Catherine's fighting spirit is extremely special, and it was specially created for her by his master Sword God Dongfang Bubai, referring to Catherine's physical characteristics. Not only does it have the characteristics of the Chaos God system, but it also has a special power in Catherine's wings. It can be said that this is Catherine's unique special fighting spirit. His attributes are extremely special, just like a ball of candy. Once hit, they will be stuck on the wound. They just don't ask you to use light spells to treat it. It is extremely annoying.

Of course, the third prince who ended up becoming a one-eyed dragon would not be in a good mood, because this disability not only weakens his strength, but the most important thing is to greatly reduce his chance of inheriting the treasure. After all, the king of a country represents the majesty of the country. It would be really not good if he was called a one-eyed dragon to take power. That would be a person who was simply throwing the country away?

So when the third prince thought of this, he couldn't help but get angry. In addition, Catherine not only successfully escaped responsibility, but also made great contributions to the undead natural disaster, and finally returned triumphantly, which made her reputation at the peak of her might. This made the third prince even more jealous. So much so that after he got the news, he couldn't help but go crazy and waved his sword on the spot to kill several servants around him.

Naturally, the emperor soon found out about this. He was so angry that he called the third prince and scolded him, and used Catherine to compare it with him. Later, he threatened that if he did not restrain himself, he would let him give the first-ranked inheritance rights to Catherine.

In the end, the queen came forward, cried and made a fuss, and it was over. But this had left a deep shadow in the third prince's heart.

Today, seeing Catherine is so popular, seeing the emperor's tears flowing, and seeing the father and daughter hugging each other excitedly. The third prince's heart that had hope finally died. He couldn't help but smile cruelly, and at the same time, he said in his heart, "Hmph, my dear father, it seems that I have been completely abandoned by you. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

The two, immersed in the rare father-daughter relationship, naturally knew nothing about the psychological changes of the third prince and still did their own way. After accepting the corpse of the Lich King presented by Catherine, the emperor then announced the reward for Catherine.

In general, it is the title of "Princess of the Country". Although Catherine was also a formal princess before, the meaning of this title is completely different.

An ordinary princess has no right to participate in politics and affairs, which is a special honor. It has no real power except to enjoy royal treatment. If a princess wants to participate in politics and affairs, he must give up his identity as a princess and join it as an ordinary noble. In fact, the same is true for a prince.

For example, the third prince enjoys the treatment of a prince, but it is impossible to directly enter the government department as a prince, so he cannot get along with his superiors. Therefore, when he was in office, he was still like an ordinary noble. He started with a low-level position and gradually promoted to the main official through a period of experience.

Of course, as a prince, he received treatment differently from others. At least the speed of improvement can be described as a rocket. The official position that others can achieve after decades of experience can be promoted to in a few months. But no matter what, during his tenure, the third prince can only be an ordinary nobleman, not a prince. Only after the public office is removed will the identity of the prince be restored. This is also a special regulation made to prevent the prince from using his identity to mess up national affairs.

However, after Catherine accepted the title of "Princess of the Country", it was completely different. Because this title was a formal title made with hard work, even if Catherine worked in various departments, she could still be on the verge of the princess. She could be on par with the heads of various departments at the beginning, and even better. With such a Shangfang sword, it would be of great help to Catherine in the future to control the entire state machine.

From this perspective, the emperor seemed to have really planned to pass the throne to Catherine. Of course, this was just a guess. No one knew what the emperor was thinking. Perhaps he just continued to polish the third prince, and the person who actually passed the throne in the future was his own son.

Of course, the people below have to try hard to guess the emperor's thoughts, because if they stand in the wrong team, it may be a disaster for them.
