Chapter 76 Prince
byChapter 76 Prince
The king of Adadala is a romantic and lustful king. There are more than thirty wives and concubines in his harem alone, and there are even more female slaves in captivity. So relatively, hisHe also has many children, seventeen in total so far, the eldest of whom is already thirty years old, and the youngest is just less than two months old. There are currently two concubines in his harem who are pregnant.
It can be seen that this king who is nearly fifty years old is not only romantic, he is also very capable.
However, the king's excessive romanticism has also caused his health to become worse and worse in recent years. However, he refuses to cultivate his moral character. He is still romantic and happy. On the surface, he looks fine now, but there are rumors in private that his health is actually not as good as before.Now he relies on a special magic potion to regain his glory.
Because of such rumors and the fact that the king's body was weakening in everyone's eyes, establishing a crown prince became an urgent matter.
But everyone could not reach a consensus on the choice of crown prince.
The king had many children, but he had twelve daughters and only five sons.
Among them, the eldest prince who has several sisters is already twenty-six years old this year, the second prince is twenty-three years old, and the third prince is also twenty years old. The age difference between the fourth prince and the first three is quite big. This year he is only seven years old.Years old, the fifth prince is the king's youngest child and is still drinking milk.
With the king's current physical condition, he will definitely not be able to wait until the fourth and fifth princes reach adulthood, so these two youngest sons were not among the candidates for the crown prince from the beginning.
Among the three adult sons, the second prince was born from a female slave, so his status was lower than that of the other princes, and he was not a smart man. Although he also had some followers, whether it was the king or other ministers and nobles, they had alreadyHe was tacitly excluded from the list of crown princes.
Therefore, it is basically certain that the future king will be selected from the eldest prince and the third prince.
It stands to reason that the oldest prince is not only the first in line to succeed, but also has outstanding abilities. He should be the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.
However, the eldest prince's mother's family was only a small noble, and most of the people who supported him were small and medium-sized nobles and businessmen, so he was not very popular among the big nobles.
For these powerful nobles, they wanted a king who was not so smart and capable, but easy to control, than a king who was smart and capable.
And perhaps the eldest prince was too outstanding, which gave the king a sense of crisis. In recent years, the king had become obviously wary of him, and was far less kind to him than to other princes.
Therefore, compared with the younger third prince, his approval rate is higher.
First of all, the third prince's mother was born into a noble family and her family was very powerful. Although he was a little clever, he had a high self-esteem and was easy to fool. Naturally, the nobles liked this prince who could protect their interests more.
Moreover, the third prince’s mother has always been very favored, and her son is also valued by the king. In addition, the third prince knows how to please and behave in front of the king. Compared with the eldest prince who always questions his decisions, the king is naturally moreThe third prince likes to be obedient.
At the banquet Ivistal attended last night, the eldest prince was also invited.
The host of the banquet was the big businessman Dehka who almost killed everyone along with him. Although he was a big businessman, Dehka did not have a noble status. Although the status of the merchant in Adadala was not low, it was not.He was not as good as the nobles, so the noble noble who liked his wife dared to directly ask him for someone, and when he didn't get it, he directly bought and killed her.
"That noble is from the third prince's side, so Deheka invited the eldest prince. He is looking for a backer for himself."
It is a well-known fact that the eldest prince and the third prince are at odds with each other. Being persecuted by the people on the third prince's side, Deheka, who originally remained on the sidelines, naturally turned to the eldest prince.
"I'm afraid he invited me more than just to say thank you." The handsome succubus smiled: "The eldest prince was very polite to me. I'm afraid Deheka told him my identity."
At Guma's banquet, the monsters showed off their powerful power - what humans saw was the power of the Demon King and the shock that just a young girl could kill the sand pirates alone without any injuries.
Although they did not know the existence of the Demonic Castle, they all believed that with such a king and strong fighting power, this country called the "Demon Kingdom" would sooner or later become the overlord of the Viv continent.
However, after the "massacre" banquet performed by the fallen angel himself, Deheka did not dare to reveal the identity of the devil and the elf. He even did not know that when he faced the majesty again, he wouldDo you have the strength to stand?
This was probably the same for all humans present at that time.
But Ivistal was different.
His aristocratic status is not a secret to the outside world. Even when Sam and others talk to others, they will introduce him in this way.
Being able to follow "His Majesty the King" undoubtedly guarantees Ivistal's identity - this shows that he is not only a noble, but also a noble who is highly trusted by his king.
It would undoubtedly be very beneficial to Dehka if he could establish a relationship with such a noble.
At the same time, it is not a secret that Sam and others have magic props in their hands. As long as the businessmen in Proda at that time could get some information, even at the banquet in Guma, Ake also exposed this secret.exposed.
All Weif people know very well how precious magic props are. With the status of Sam and others, it is impossible for them to obtain so many magic props. Everyone can guess that those magic props are likely to come fromDemonic country.
Deheka is in a very bad situation now. Although the big noble's plan did not succeed, the other party will definitely not give up based on his magnanimity. Moreover, even if Deheka gives his wife to the other party, he may not be able to give it up.Reconciliation, not to mention he didn't want to give it away.
And this is also true. After knowing that he was not dead, Dehka's business in Adadala was threatened and suppressed from all aspects, and it became increasingly difficult to do it. If he didn't want to lose both people and money in the end, he had to let the other partyBe afraid of him.
So Deheka finally chose the eldest prince as his backer, but he chose the eldest prince, but he was not required to do so.
At first, Deheka came to visit him in person. The eldest prince had a lukewarm attitude towards Deheka, who took the initiative to express his surrender. He did not respond to his request and even refused to give him a gift.
As a last resort, Deheka mentioned Ivestar - of course he didn't dare to say Demon King - he only said that Succubus was a great noble of the Demon Kingdom, and their country seemed to have many powerful magicians who could even doTo export magic props.
Although he had never heard of the Demon Kingdom, the eldest prince did not think that Deheka would dare to deceive him with such a thing. So after Deheka said that he could help him contact Ivistal, the eldest prince agreed to grant him asylum.Attended last night's banquet at the same time.
Ivistal is also interested in finding someone who can be spoken to in Adadala, so that he can develop business contacts and make things more convenient in the future.
The eldest prince was smart but not too greedy. Ivistal was quite satisfied with his performance. After combining the information he knew about the third prince, the succubus naturally chose to cooperate with the eldest prince.
——But the fact is that even if the third prince is smarter and more suitable for cooperation than the eldest prince, just the fact that his subordinates have made a move against the devil is enough to offset all possibilities of cooperation.
"Sounds like a good prince indeed." After listening to the succubus' report, the elf nodded in agreement: "How is your relationship with him now? It just so happened that Rael and I were going to do something in Adadala.Can he come forward to help us solve some unnecessary troubles?"
At present, it seems that the eldest prince whom he has never met is the one who wants more from them, so the elf thinks it is reasonable to ask him to help.
The Demon King felt that he heard a very special name, and looked away from the succubus and turned to the elf.
The elf was still waiting for the succubus' answer, so it didn't pay attention to the demon king's actions.
The succubus naturally noticed it, but he would never get involved in such a thing.
So he just pretended that he didn't find anything and asked the elf seriously: "What are your Majesty and you planning to do?"
"We plan to test the people here with a crystal ball to see if we can find more talented people." The elf explained straight to the point: "You also know that I am the only one who knows wood magic at the moment. If more people can be found,A few helpers would be great.”
The succubus quickly thought: "The four children you brought back yesterday?"
"Yes, they all have the talent to learn wood magic. If they are taught well, their abilities should not be too bad."
The elf in front of him is the Great Mage of the Wood Element. If he says it's not bad, then it must be good.
The succubus thought this, and then thought about the consequences of this move, and sincerely praised: "This is really a good decision."
"And even if you can't learn wood magic from me, you can still be trained into other professional warriors, right? Rael said that we are actually a bit short of people, so it's best to include humans as subjects." This is not the case.But that’s probably what it means.
Again.The Demon King thought silently.
The elves explained their plan in detail. The succubus naturally agreed with the devil's decision, but he also said that the situation was a bit difficult to handle.
"I'm afraid the eldest prince won't agree."
After all, this is a major event that will affect a country. The countries on the Veve continent all value magicians. Although they do not think that civilians are qualified to become magicians, they will not let people from other countries treat these potential magicians.If people are taken away, it will definitely threaten them in the future.
At this time, the Demon King, who had been just listening without speaking, spoke up: "Tell him that we can help him train a few professionals."
The elf immediately followed: "Yes, even if his people don't have magic talent, can't we still teach fighting spirit? This is always okay, right?"
The succubus nodded: "If this is the condition, he will definitely agree." Then he smiled and said: "How about the standard is set based on the level of warriors here?"
The level here?A high-level magician who has never even learned eighth-level magic?This level doesn't even meet the threshold for joining the Magic Castle. Is it too low?
But even though they thought so, the elves and the devil had no plans to strengthen their future enemies, so they just thought about it for a while and were ready to agree.
But the succubus continued: "If it only takes a few years, we will only be able to teach professionals at the fifth and sixth levels at most."
Fifth or sixth level?Does this mean that it is not even given to high-level professionals, but only to mid-level professionals?
"……It's up to you."
He is truly worthy of being the Financial Minister of the Magic Castle, who is known as a wise businessman.
The succubus was very happy that his proposal was approved by His Majesty, and immediately said that he could go to the eldest prince to discuss it now, and believed that a good result in line with what they wanted would be achieved soon.
Seeing how energetic he was, the Demon King waved his hand and let him go.
Now he has something more important to care about.
