Sacred objects are very important, but to what extent? It’s hard to say clearly.
The magicians of Azure Island rarely have conflicts with outsiders, but one war did leave indelible marks on the entire world.
A powerful empire located on the south side of the Fairy Forest (it has been so long that most people have forgotten the name of this empire). His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attended a large banquet held by the Azure Island Magic Guild as a special envoy. However, what he did not expect was
, at this banquet, a ring on the index finger of the Grand Elder of the Magic Guild was lost, and this ring is one of the three sacred objects of the Magic Guild - the broken ring. The finger of the finger finally pointed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the magicians
After repeated requests but no satisfactory answer, the war broke out. The angry magician destroyed an empire in just one month, and in the process, the powerful empire put forward the final condition of giving up the throne.
But in the end, he couldn't get the understanding of the magicians at all.
For a seemingly ordinary ring, the Grand Elder of the Magic Guild, a respected Grand Mage, committed suicide. The Crown Prince’s teacher, who was also a Mage, also committed suicide, and the entire royal family of that empire committed suicide.
In the end, they all died in battle and the kingdom was destroyed. In the end, the ring was never found again.
If someone can find a holy relic for an ancient kingdom, he should be able to get a title like King Yizi immediately. If a person can find a holy relic like a scarab or the Holy Grail for the Holy See, he might be able to get a title like a red archbishop right away.
The location is right.
"The person who brought back the sacred object was the leader of the Dwarf Knights, Furnace. Although his family does not have any heroic bloodline, in the past few thousand years, nearly ten people have become elders or have the honorary title of Dwarf Knight. After
After careful consideration, we believe that Huo Lu is also qualified as a candidate." When the great elder said this, there was obviously anger on the faces of other elders.
"Your Excellency, Great Elder, I swear in the name of Father God. Not all elders agree with this opinion." An elder on the left side of the long table suddenly stood up, looking very angry, and his strong beard was blown by the heavy breath.
stand up.
The four guests were shocked again - the dwarf elders actually exposed their internal conflicts in front of outsiders. No wonder some people say that the dwarf race has a short temper.
"You're right." The great elder's eyes widened: "According to the regulations regarding the succession of the dwarf throne, how many elders among the seven elders need to agree to become a candidate?"
"One person proposes and one person agrees to become a candidate. Each person has only one vote." The dwarf elder on the left immediately answered.
"Okay then, I propose that the stove has this qualification, does anyone agree?" The elder's beard was beating, and it was hard to tell whether he was smiling or angry. As soon as he finished speaking, the two elders lowered their hands and raised their hands without hesitation.
The great elder shrank his shoulders and signaled the result to the four envoys.
"Great Elder, I disagree! Our ancestors swore an oath in front of Father God: 'As long as the heroic family leaves a drop of butter in the ashes of the bonfire that even a mouse will not eat, he must inherit the throne.
', Do dwarves also want to learn from these humans who eat their own words? How can a dwarf who doesn't even have a surname have the right to become a king?" Sharuo and Druid looked at each other with a wry smile, and both said that dwarves are stupid. Now,
It seems that this is really the case. Even in a quarrel, he can knock down the innocent people next to him. Alas... It would be a pity not to become a fisherman for such a person. If he has to cast a net to catch fish, it is estimated that every three days will be enough.
One day, all the aquatic animals in the sea will be fished out.
"Don't you think that retrieving the holy relics is not a hero? Don't you think that breaking into the center of the remnants of the magic empire and fighting the magic elder is not a hero? Do you think that facing the sacred dragon knight without fear and fighting to the death is not a hero?
What? Don’t you think that killing the vicious envoy of the Western Emperor is not a hero?” The dwarf elder seemed very excited. These words seemed to have been brewing for a long time and he said them without any pause.
"Great Elder, you are talking about something else. We are not discussing whether he is a hero. What we are discussing now is whether we should respect the oaths our ancestors swore in front of God the Father. There are still descendants of heroes in the ancient kingdom.
." An elder sitting at the back stood up.
"Yes, of course. For example, you have the blood of great heroes." The old dwarf next to the great elder bluntly pointed out the key point.
The hall fell into silence again, and everyone understood the reason.
"Can the elders vote by a show of hands?" Sha Ruo reminded kindly.
The great elder smiled bitterly and showed the internal dispute in front of the four envoys of the five kingdoms: "Raise your hands to agree that Da. Parra Wakudai will become the new generation of kings." The two dwarf elders on the left immediately raised their hands. "
Then raise your hands if you agree that Meer Dzi Wakudai will succeed to the throne." The two dwarf elders on the right stood up and raised their hands. "Those who agree that Huo Luo will become the new hero king raise your hands." The great elder and the people on the left and right stood up.
The two elders raised their hands.
Seeing the seven old dwarves, all over 1,000 years old, looking at each other with wide eyes and hatred, Sha Ruo guessed the key point: "Does the dwarf king need the consent of more than half of the elders to be created?"
"Of course, wise Amy Empire, special envoy of the Elf Kingdom, you are right. Only the dwarf king can appoint and remove the elders, and now only the elders can decide the birth of the new king." The great elder waved his hand helplessly, signaling to the others.
The six elders sat down and said that showing such extreme disrespect in front of guests was not something that an ancient kingdom and seven old men, who together were nearly ten thousand years old, should do.
"Dear dwarf brother, if something like this happened to your ancient kingdom, what would your kingdom do?" Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. An elder turned around and politely asked Horns for advice.
The dwarf smiled bitterly. It was as if he had not asked. In the War of Magic and Martial Arts, six of the top ten dwarf heroes came from the forest dwarves. Except for one, the other five left descendants. The reason is very simple. The mountain dwarves have geographical reasons.
They joined the war early, so some of the four heroes were not yet married. However, the forest dwarves came across thousands of mountains and rivers to support them in the spirit of internationalist Lei Feng. Almost 100% of them were married. The oldest hero among them participated in the war.
Years later, they all have grandchildren. Now in the forest dwarf kingdom, there are countless descendants of heroes. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people working as mercenaries to join the army, fearing that they would die of old age and embarrass their ancestors at home.
Seeing that Horns didn't speak, Sha Ruo knew that this cunning guy must be in trouble, so he stood up and took over the topic: "Elder, regarding the important matter of royal descendants, it is really not something that outsiders like us can participate in. As special envoys of the kingdoms, we here
I only have two responsibilities here, to express condolences and congratulations. For the rest, I ask for your understanding."
The Druid envoy showed a satisfied smile on his face. After all, human wisdom is incomparable to these dwarves. Look, a little girl who has just turned 20 speaks so well, and she will not commit such crimes as beating someone to death with a stick.
The boatman's mistake. The Druids are also a very closed group. They live in the mountains and dense forests in the northern part of the forest. They know very little about the outside world. They don't know that the weak girl in front of them is also an A-level mercenary.
One of the most eloquent people in the group did not know that the girl possessed a rare phantom beast in the world - the fire phoenix. For these believers who admire nature, holy species such as the fire phoenix and the unicorn are among the totems they worship.
one.
The seven dwarf elders were silent again. This is really a problem. Since the establishment of the seven-elder system in the dwarf kingdom, we have never encountered such a problem. The seven elders were actually divided into three factions, and the two smaller factions actually worked together to restrict the number of people.
There are many factions. Sigh... Even 160,000 years ago, when faced with the evil magical witch who controlled the five-clawed dragon, the seven dwarf elders at that time were not discouraged at all and rescued Snow White, and with the help of Prince Charming
Finally defeated the evil witch.
"I have a proposal." The great elder stood up and walked to the four envoys: "Since there are envoys from five countries here, we can let them vote. If the majority of them agree that someone will inherit the throne, then
This person is the heir to the throne."
"I object!"
"I object!"
"I object too!"
In just a short moment, three elders jumped out to oppose this opinion. Although the dwarf elders could not be described as wise, everyone knew that among the four envoys, the most critical girl actually had two
nation's voting rights, and, more importantly, the adventure before the fire was with the girl.
"Objection is invalid!" The dwarf elder jumped up on the stone chair: "According to the law of the elders, if it is an opinion put forward by the elder, under normal circumstances, only two elders need to agree before it can be implemented." The words just finished.
, the two elders just now raised their hands in agreement.
The faces of the other four dwarf elders suddenly became ugly, and the two old dwarves rubbed their hands on their legs nervously, as if they were suppressing some physical need.
"Four representatives, as friends of the dwarf kingdom, please fulfill your rights." The great elder returned to his seat again: "Raise your hands to agree that Da. Parra Wakudai will become the new generation of kings." The big Berserker hesitated.
After a moment, he raised his hand.
"Then those who agree that Mer. Zhi. Wakudei will inherit the throne raise their hands." The Druid messenger looked at the berserker and raised his hands.
The great elder and the other two elders showed victorious smiles on their faces: "Those who agree that Huo Lu becomes the new hero king raise their hands."
Horns hesitated and raised his hand.
The girl beside Horns didn't move.
The great elder was surprised and said loudly again: "Raise your hands if you agree that Huo Luo will become the new hero king."
The girl in white robe remained motionless.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this girl, "The Elf Kingdom, the spokesperson of the Amy Empire, why don't you exercise your rights?"
"I abstain!" Sha Ruo stood up: "I did this not because I wanted to plunge the mountain dwarf kingdom into war. First, I believe that this matter can be handled internally by the dwarf kingdom without my participation; secondly, I believe that the dwarf kingdom can handle this matter internally without my participation;
Second, while accepting the two invitations, I was instructed by His Royal Highness the Regent of the Forest Elf Kingdom and His Highness the Prince of the Amy Empire that I cannot exercise my rights in this way. I'm sorry."
Horns looked at Sha Ruo in surprise. Of course he knew who these two princes were. He was also present when the invitations were handed over. It was only now that he recalled the details at that time. He really couldn't understand them.
Human beings can actually refine language to such an extent. Amy only had a few dozen words in total, but Sha Ruo understood so many things. The dwarf scratched his head, but still didn't understand the true meaning.
The meaning of voting again is actually 1:1:1? It means nothing! The two most important votes actually abstained!
"Hey..." The great elder sighed angrily: "The first problem can't be solved, the third problem can't be solved, and the second problem of avenging the king is even more unthinkable. The meeting is dismissed! Everyone
Everyone should think carefully about how to live up to their own conscience." After saying that, the elder took off his war hammer from behind the chair, put it on his shoulder and left the seat.
"This guy! You're worrying!" Horns muttered as he walked out.
Sharuo knew that Horns was not talking about him, and a smile appeared on his lips. Unexpectedly, Amy was really prescient.
Not long after Horns and Sharuo returned to their rooms, a dwarf waiter came outside to report: "The two elders want to see the two adults of the small mercenary group."
Oh? It seems that some people are doing a good job in intelligence work.
