Chapter 2
"Is everyone here? Let's start now. Not long after the time has passed, we can still see a clear picture.???? ???
e?.?c n?” Master Gui Jing nodded at Shaodian Dan and then asked the steward on the side.
The head chamberlain said: "My lords, I have invited Master Gui Jing to restore the scene where the late king last commanded me, so that everyone can bear witness. Now please move to the palace."
When the king dies without officially announcing the candidate for the crown prince, the chamberlain and the chief minister of the Government Council will jointly confirm the candidate for the crown prince and report to the Senate.
If more than half of the elders in the Senate raise objections, then all the elders will vote. If eight elders object to the candidate, the successor will be re-approved.
The Senate has ten elders, elected by all the nobles of the kingdom.
The old king's body was still on the bed. The imperial doctor, maids and guards all left the palace, leaving only five people in the room: Shaodiandan, Master Guijing, Duke Zisi, Wu Yan, the commander of the city defense army, and the chief chamberlain.
Master Gui Jing walked to the bed, took out a three-foot-long magic wand, chanted strange syllables, and gestured with the magic wand in his hand.
A white light curtain stopped in mid-air, and two blurry figures appeared on the light screen. Soon the figures gradually became clearer, and it was the old king and the chamberlain who appeared on the light screen. As the image became clearer, the light
Dialogue was also heard in the middle of the scene.
The five people present immediately held their breath and stared at the light screen intently. From the time the old king opened his mouth to ask, until he fell on the bed and stopped moving, everyone could clearly see the whole process.
Master Gui Jing took out a crystal ball and pointed it at the light curtain in the air, and pointed the tip of his magic wand on the crystal ball. At this time, the light curtain in the air turned into a white light and flashed into the crystal ball.
"The last thing the late king said was..." Duke Zisi looked at Master Gui Jing with bright eyes. Unexpectedly, Master Gui Jing waved his left hand to stop Duke Zisi's words, and handed the crystal ball to the chamberlain with his right hand.
"The rest of the matter has nothing to do with me. King Shaodianzhu said back then that no magician is allowed to talk about the king's successor.
This time I am only responsible for restoring the images. The images recorded by the crystal ball need to be activated by a magic core. You can activate it by placing a level 5 magic core in the hole at the bottom. You can handle the rest. I will take my leave first." After that.
Master Gui Jing gave Prince Dan a meaningful look, and then disappeared in a flash, leaving the four of them looking at each other in confusion.
Master Gui Jing was about to fly back to the magic tower when he suddenly stopped in mid-air. He changed his direction and flew towards the depths of the palace.
There is a small courtyard deep in the Shaodian Palace. Looking down from a high altitude, the courtyard is in the center of the palace. Gui Jing flew into the small courtyard. Standing in the courtyard was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
"I asked why someone was flying around in the palace. It turned out to be Master Gui Jing." The middle-aged man smiled at Gui Jing.
"Young Dianhuan, have you made a breakthrough?" Gui Jing looked at the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man turned out to be Shao Dianhuan, Shao Dianlong's great-uncle. At this time, a three-foot-long, two-finger-thick fire dragon was hovering above Shao Dianhuan's head. This little fire dragon was so lifelike that it even bared its teeth and claws at Gui Jing, revealing
A vicious expression.
"Well, it was just when my great-nephew died." Shao Dianhuan nodded.
"No wonder your father said that you are the most promising person in the Shaodian clan to break through to the Martial God in the past thousand years."
"Hahaha, Martial God? I have worked hard for so many years to reach this state. It's you, Master Gui Jing, how long have you been in this state, have you seen the threshold of the Dharma God?" Shao Dianhuan looked self-deprecating.
"I have been promoted to Rules Mage for 103 years, and I am still in the middle stage. I am still far away from the threshold of the Dharma God." Gui Jing looked away from the fire dragon and looked at the starry sky.
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that you had already entered the eighth level when you imprisoned me a hundred years ago."
People with combat effectiveness in this world are called combatants. No matter what profession they are, they are all divided into nine levels. The magic gods and martial gods with the highest combat effectiveness are at level nine, and the rule mage who is one level below them is at level eight.
"It was your father who asked me to help you get rid of distracting thoughts and practice peacefully in the holy land at your feet. Didn't you get promoted to the epic knight today and break through to the eighth level?" Gui Jing paused, and then said: "Back then, Shaodian
He seized this place to build a royal palace, and gathered the power of the whole country to seal the nine underground fire veins at the altar at your feet, just to let his descendants have a holy place for cultivation.
Back then you were thinking about competing for the throne with your elder brother, but your cultivation talent cannot be wasted on these mundane things. If you still want to be the king now, I will not stop you, there is an opportunity before you."
"Haha, I won't compete with the juniors for that position. As long as the foundation of the Shaodian family is not shaken, anyone can take it. I have always wanted to beat you up, but unfortunately I have no hope of fulfilling this wish in this life, so why not
How about you don't fight back and take my move?" Shao Dianhuan had an idea and looked at Gui Jing eager to try.
Gui Jing looked at Shao Dianhuan and smiled slightly, and said calmly: "As you wish, let's go up there. You have suddenly risen to a higher level and your strength has increased dramatically. If you don't control it well, you will destroy your ancestor's legacy.
"
Without saying a word, Shao Dianhuan jumped to an altitude of more than 20 meters. Before he reached the end, a fire cloud appeared under his feet, lifting him up into the sky, and the fire dragon followed him.
The figure flies high into the sky.
Gui Jing looked at Shao Dianhuan from the ground casually. When he was about to rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters, Gui Jing's figure suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Shao Dianhuan, floating in the air.
"Your space rules are becoming more and more proficient, and a space teleportation can actually reach ten kilometers." Shao Dianhuan said enviously.
"After all, I reached the eighth level more than a hundred years before you did. Come on, let me see your power."
Shao Dianhuan's face became solemn, the fire dragon on his head no longer hovered, his body arched up, and his four claws pointed towards the ground, as if he was clinging to something, making him look even more ferocious. Shao Dianhuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Guijing, and the fire dragon moved toward Gui.
Jing Fei shot over, and in the middle of the way the fire dragon opened its mouth and spit out a line of fire, spraying towards Gui Jing faster.
Gui Jing didn't even take out his magic wand, but with a slight wave of his hand, the line of fire changed direction and shot towards the starry sky; the fire dragon took the opportunity to pounce in front of Gui Jing, and grabbed his face with a pair of front paws;
Zhihuo Dragon's claws seemed to have caught the air, and the entire dragon just passed through Gui Jing's figure without touching anything.
Shao Dianhuan waved to the fire dragon, sighed, and said, "Rules indeed trump power. I still have a long way to go before I can become the God of War."
Watching the fire dragon fly back to Shaodianhuan's head, Gui Jing asked: "You have also been promoted to level eight. Now you can go wherever you want. Do you want to go there? Maybe it will be helpful to you."
"You haven't been promoted for more than a hundred years. Why should I go? I'm used to staying in this place. Besides, some people seem unwilling to be lonely. I'd better stay here to help those juniors who are not living up to expectations." Shaodian Huan shook.
He shook his head.
"If there is no breakthrough in a few days, I might go over there and have a look. Just having you here will be enough. My burden can finally be put down." After Gui Jing said this, he cupped his hands and disappeared.
Duke Zisi didn't know what was happening in the sky above the palace, and said to the chief chamberlain very simply: "We all saw clearly just now that the late king's intention was to let the fourth prince Shaodiandan succeed to the throne. Our Government Affairs Council lineage in the Senate
All the elders support Prince Dan."
The chamberlain now understands that the Government Council's statement has cleared the way for the fourth prince to succeed to the throne. Moreover, the old king has not vetoed the fourth prince's succession rights. It is just the intention of the commander-in-chief...
While the chamberlain was still pondering, a guard came hurriedly outside the door to report: "Duke Zisi, your housekeeper has delivered an urgent letter."
Zisi took the letter from the guard, opened the paint seal, opened the letter and glanced at it, then happily said to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, the Eighth Army has moved. They are heading to the royal ranch and will not be able to return for at least three days."
Upon hearing this, Shaodian Dan's eyes flashed, and then he said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Duke Zisi and the Chamberlain, take your crystal ball to the Senate and tell the elders that I will ascend the throne tomorrow. Wu
Yan, please follow me to the imperial study, and we can have a good talk."
No one knows what the fourth prince and the city defense army commander Wu Yan talked about that night. They only know that after Wu Yan left the palace, he quickly ordered the Zhenjing City to be sealed off, with no entry or exit allowed, and then sent elite city defense troops to surround the Grand Prince's Mansion and Ding Mansion.
.
At about twelve o'clock in the evening, a carriage arrived at the door of Ding's house.
Ding Dao frowned and sat in the study, motionless. Yang Feng had been away for so long and there was no news at all, which made him very anxious.
At this time, the housekeeper walked to the door of the study, coughed softly, and then said: "Master, Duke Zisi is outside the door asking for an audience."
Hearing the word Zisi, Ding Dao stood up suddenly, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes, "How many people did he bring?"
"There is only a carriage parked outside the door."
Ding Dao sat down slowly again and pondered for a while: "Please ask Mr. Zisi to go to the living room. I will go see him later."
Duke Zisi was dressed neatly in court clothes and sat leisurely in the living room, completely ignoring the eager eyes around him. The hatred between the Ding family and the Zi family has a history of more than a thousand years, and it is the two families' greatest wish to exterminate each other's family.
After a while, Ding Dao walked into the living room dressed in military uniform. He sat on the main seat with a golden sword. He glanced sideways at Zisi and said with a serious face: "Master Zisi is not waiting in front of the king. Come here."
What do I have to do with this?"
Duke Zisi picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and said slowly, "The late king has passed away, and he left a will to be succeeded by the fourth prince, Shaodian Dan."
Hearing Zisi's words, Ding Dao angrily said, "When the late king was alive, he never mentioned that the fourth prince would inherit the throne. How could he leave a will before his death? The eldest prince Shaodianji should enter the palace to inherit the throne and stabilize the situation."
