Chen Rui looked quietly at his hand. There was a cup there.
The silver-white metal goblet has a pair of wings engraved on the surface. It is simple yet exquisite and emits a soft light, giving people a special feeling of peace of mind.
One of the three sacred objects of light, the Holy Grail.
After several twists and turns, this most sacred object in the Lan Yao Empire's collection finally reached his hands.
For this reason, Gralin met with Lan Yao Emperor Covalonte several times. Covalonte's original attitude was extremely tough. By an "accidental" opportunity, Princess Lambis learned the news. The Pearl Princess found
Emperor Covalonte gave advice to his father, pointing out that the current situation in the empire was unstable and that the Congress was vaguely out of control. Offending the Church of Light at this time was definitely not worth the loss. The Holy Grail was originally given to the three holy empires by the three supreme angels.
, and it is just a symbolic item and cannot play any practical role. If the Holy Grail is used to completely control the House of Parliament with the help of the power of the church, it will be considered worthwhile.
Later, Rambis accompanied Emperor Covalonte to have a secret negotiation with Gralin. Her Royal Highness the Princess gave full play to her negotiating skills of competing for profit and forced Gralin to make concessions step by step. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement. The church
After paying a huge price in Covalonte's opinion, Gralin got the Holy Grail as he wished.
It has to be said that Lanbisi played a crucial role in this Holy Grail transaction, which was also the result of the transaction between Chen Rui and her.
After obtaining the Holy Grail, Gralin secretly handed it over to Chen Rui immediately, and Chen Rui took advantage of this opportunity to "recuperate" to analyze the holy object.
It was similar to the original Crown of Thorns. With the Brilliant Body around, it didn't take much effort to analyze the Holy Grail. Soon, the Holy Grail became his real possession.
The Holy Grail has two skills:
The first one is "Holy Blessing" - a group blessing skill that can greatly increase the power of luck in a short period of time. This "luck" can allow the blessed to reduce physical and magical damage and the retention time of various negative states.
will be greatly shortened, and the duration of the buff state will be increased. "Holy Blessing" is undoubtedly a very practical combat auxiliary skill. The only regret is that it can only be used once every twenty-four hours.
The second is "Holy Soul" - you can put the damaged soul body into the Holy Grail to warm it until it recovers. The recovery time depends on the degree of damage to the soul body. You can sacrifice the power of light to speed up the recovery speed. This skill is for
For Chen Rui, it can only be regarded as useless, but his real purpose of obtaining the Holy Grail is to create the source of creation, and the skills of the Holy Grail body are secondary.
During this period, not only the incident of Prince "Arthur" being injured, but also the incident of the death of another "magician", actually the prince Ed, also came to an end. The cause of Ed's death was Rialdo's teacher, the elf.
After Hero, the elder of the clan, accidentally injured "Arthur", he was angrily chased by "Arthur's" guardian Lola. In panic, Hero detonated the white tower where Ed was in order to stop Lola.
The biggest culprits in this incident are Vervo and Rialdo of the Morgause family. The numerous evil deeds they committed by relying on the power of the Morgause family have been exposed, especially this time Vervo attempted to
The scroll that triggered "Hellfire" among the crowd is an unforgivable sin.
The city lord Vanile Reggiana personally led the troops to seal off the Morgause family. He also arrested a large number of people, including the patriarch Moya. Moya, who originally thought that he could take revenge by joining the Reggiana family,
Adun was stunned. After Vanile announced that Moya and Vervo were to be hanged and all their property was confiscated, the people in the city all clapped their hands and cheered.
Although Vanile reacted quickly and sacrificed the Morgause family "in time", he was still angered by Emperor Covalonte. As the city lord of Yagoda, how could such a thing have happened if his rule had not been lax?
.Even implicated important figures such as "Arthur" and Ed. After the incident, Vanille not only failed to hold Vervoor accountable. Instead, he colluded with the Gauss family and sent troops to surround the Mingguang Trading Company of the Morden family.
This alone is hard to blame. With the character of Emperor Covalonte, even if there is no formal punishment for the time being, he will be severely punished in the future.
Also to blame is Liard, who has the responsibility to protect Ed, but it was a super-powerful man who took action at that time. Even if Liard was on the scene, he could not prevent the explosion of the White Tower. The most important thing is that Liard
Protected the key figure, Prince "Arthur". With the protection of Princess Lambise, Lild received a much smaller punishment than expected. He was only deprived of his title, but he could continue to stay in the mage Tallinn.
It is worth mentioning the attitude of the elves. The elves announced that the half-elf Rialdo had been executed. Elder Hero, who directly caused the magician Ed, died on the way to the Silver Moon Immortal City due to serious injuries.
.The elves regret the unfortunate death of Magician Ed. This incident is entirely the responsibility of Hero and will not affect the alliance between the elves and the Lanyao Empire. The two parties will further carry out various cooperation, especially Fenoa
The Grandmaster's latest magical weapon technology can be shared with the Lan Yao Empire. Cooperation with the elves is a win-win situation, and it is also one of the most important trump cards of the Lan Yao Empire. Emperor Covalonte will definitely not let a mere illegitimate child affect this plan.
, immediately expressed a friendly attitude of active cooperation, and the matter gradually calmed down.
After the situation calmed down, Chen Rui, who had finished analyzing the Holy Grail, did not continue to pretend to be ill. Under the protection of heavy troops sent by Vanile, he led the entire envoy into the Lanyao Imperial Capital.
The Lanyao Empire's Vansidian and Yerodisha are both known as the two major capitals of the human world. The prosperity of the era and the traces of the magical civilization need not be described in detail. When Chen Rui entered Vansidian, he received the representative of the royal family, the second prince Vic.
A large number of people came out to welcome him and settled in the royal post house.
Soon, Chen Rui was interviewed by Lan Yao Emperor Covalonte. This emperor seemed very powerful, even more powerful than Rex. In fact, Covalonte's control over the Lan Yao Empire was far less than that of Rex.
, because the Lanyao Empire has a parliamentary chamber. This kind of chamber is different from the chamber in Chen Rui's previous life, but it also has considerable restrictive power for the king, so Covalonte cannot be like Rex.
Achieve absolute rule over the empire.
Two days later, the engagement ceremony officially began.
The marriage with the Longhuang Empire was a national event, and the ceremony was very grand. Almost all the nobles from the Lanyao Empire came, including some city lords and family representatives from far away areas.
After a series of repeated rituals, the main event took place.
The male and female protagonists who were engaged for the first time, the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, Arthur Roland, who reappeared after seven years of disappearance, and the most beautiful pearl princess of the Lanyao Empire, Lan Bisi Heber, walked side by side in front of the witnesses.
The witness was Lucas, the most respected veteran of the House of Representatives. Looking at the beautiful and dignified Lambis in a wedding dress, holding flowers in her hands, standing hand in hand with the handsome grandmaster prince, the eyes around her were filled with surprise, envy, and
Jealousy... there is also pride, and the most proud one is the second prince Victor. This sister has surprised him too much in the past seven years. She was originally just a poor girl whose fiancé disappeared and could not "remarry", but with great courage and
With his increasingly sophisticated skills, he gradually became a strong contender for the throne, and also received a lot of support from the Holy Church and the National Assembly. He was his strongest and most feared competitor.
However, the "brother-in-law" Arthur, who had been missing for seven years, reappeared, and the marriage between the two countries was restarted. For Victor, it was a huge surprise, and he was so happy. As long as Lambise married Arthur,
Then the threat naturally ceases to exist.
The wedding of Lanbisi and Arthur is the most important marriage between the two holy empires. No matter how clever Lanbisi's methods are, it cannot be changed. And Arthur has already arrived in the Lanyao Empire. So Victor has been completely relaxed during this period.
When he came down, he was not as cautious and careful as before, and even held several carnival banquets. After all, Lanbisi had put too much pressure on him in the past two years, and his nerves were very tense, and it was difficult to relax.
Lanyao Emperor Covalonte's eyes looked a little complicated. Although he still had the royal family's consistent concept of favoring sons over daughters in his mind, he had to admit that this daughter was much better than the other sons. Even if she could compete with others on the surface,
In Covalonte's eyes, Victor, the second son who could compete with him, was still much inferior. Unfortunately, she was always a daughter. Especially the reappearance of "Arthur" made the marriage seven years ago restart.
, causing Covalonte to completely obliterate the idea that "maybe his daughter is the best heir" that occasionally crossed his mind.
For the royal family, a married daughter is someone else's wife, and may even become an enemy in the future.
The wedding oath read by Lucas, the witness, interrupted Covalonte's thoughts: "...Lambis Heber, are you willing to marry Arthur Rowland and spend a lifetime with him hand in hand?"
Lanbisi held the flowers slightly in her hands and took a deep breath: "I do."
"Arthur Rowland, are you willing to marry Lambis Heber, protect her, and love her until the end of your life?"
Chen Rui glanced at Lanbisi. Yes, the Holy Grail has been obtained. Now it is time to fulfill that promise. This is Lanbisi's plan, which is more decisive than Chen Ruiyuan's.
Although Lanbisi didn't look at him, she felt the gaze, and her eyes were inexplicably a little blurry.
"Ahem... Arthur Rowland, are you willing to marry Lambis Heber, protect her, and love her until the end of her life?" Lucas thought his voice was too soft, or maybe it was the prince "Arthur"
Fascinated by the beauty of Princess Lambise, she asked in a louder voice.
Chen Rui withdrew his gaze, sighed secretly, and said, "I don't want to."
"Then please exchange..." Lucas was about to announce the next procedure step by step, when he suddenly realized something was wrong, "What...did you just say?"
Not only Lucas, but almost all the distinguished guests present thought they had heard wrongly. Lanbisi looked at Chen Rui with "surprise" on her face.
"I said, I don't want to." Chen Rui's voice seemed very calm, "Lambis, I'm sorry, you know who I love, I will not marry you."
This sentence caused a shocking stir. The face of the sitting Lanyao Emperor Covalonte changed drastically and he stood up suddenly. The surrounding nobles all showed shock. Arthur from the Longhuang Empire came to marry Princess Lanbis.
The prince actually publicly rejected marriage on such an occasion!
Lanbisi's hand trembled, and a few petals fell from the bouquet in her hand. Then, the entire bouquet fell due to her unstable grip.
She wrote this scene herself, and knew all the lines clearly. However, when she heard this sentence, her beautiful eyes were still a little distracted.
In an instant, an indescribable feeling arose in my heart.
It probably has nothing to do with Arthur, maybe every woman who buries her marriage with her own hands will feel this way.
Are women still women after all? Lanbisi looked at her empty hands, as if something had left her forever.
Although she already knew the ending, she only experienced that strange feeling when she actually faced the moment of choice.
Watching his hands silently.
It seemed that the chaotic scene could not be seen in the eyes, and the noisy sounds could not be heard in the ears, including Covalonte's angry shouts.
I just said something to myself in my heart.
This is the path you choose, Lambis.
The petals were scattered in the air and slowly fell to the ground.
