Chapter 1695: The King's Selection Begins (Super Gum Meow Evolving)

The journey to the meeting hall was not long, but almost everyone showed expressions of horror after seeing Emilia.

It's no wonder, after all, the story of the Envious Witch is widely circulated in this country, and even the remote place where Emilia lives knows the appearance of the Envious Witch, and it is naturally impossible for people here not to understand.

In the past, these gazes might have made Emilia feel uncomfortable, but now, although her expression is still a little stiff, she can walk forward freely.

The reason why everyone treats Emilia like this is of course not only because of her, but also because of Fang Zheng behind her. Right now, Fangzheng is not wearing aristocratic dress like usual, but is wearing the armor of the undead army, with a large black sword on his back, a silver dagger hanging from his waist, a triangular hat, and a bright red scarf covering half of it. Face, this unusually peculiar dress naturally attracted the attention of others.

Then, the door opened.

As the door opened, the civil servants and military officials in the meeting hall also turned their heads one after another. After seeing Emilia and Fang Zheng, they all showed uncontrollable surprise.

"This is………"

"Why is the half-demon here?"

"Reinhardt, what kind of joke is this!"

"This is no joke, folks."

Facing the angry questions from the civil servants, Reinhardt seemed calm.

"This is what I call the last candidate for the king's election."

"Stop talking nonsense, half-demon, how can a half-demon be a candidate for the king's election?"

"This is the blasphemy of Lugnica! The blasphemy of the ancestors!"

"Not only did you bring the little devils from the slums here, but now you're also provoking half-devils? Reinhardt, are you out of your mind!?"

The civil servants criticized Reinhardt one after another, while Fang Zheng smiled and nodded his chin.

"Did you see it? Emilia, this is the howling of a defeated dog. Do you know why these people bark so loudly? Because they know that they can't do anything, they can't change anything, they can only act like wild dogs like this It's just barking."

"What did you say?!"

For others, Fang Zheng's words seemed to add fuel to the fire, instantly detonating the entire conference hall.

"This is the sacred king election meeting, how dare you speak rudely here!?"

"Holy, such a child's trick?"

Fangzheng spread his hands and curled his lips.

"Like I said, you can't do anything, you're not even a participant, you're just a spectator who came to witness, what can you do?"

"Why do you say that? Half-devil, how could half-devil be eligible to participate in the king's election...!?"

"Emilia."

Fangzheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with these wild dogs, he just snorted softly, then Emilia raised her right hand, and then saw the badge exuding a soft radiance in the center of her palm.

And at this moment, the original noise in the hall disappeared almost instantly, as if those people were all stuck in their throats. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they stared at the badge on Emilia's hand in amazement.

"You can roll around here, act like a spoiled child, shout, cry, do whatever you want? But you can't change the fact that Emilia is the chosen witch. If you don't accept it? If you don't accept it, go to Bulkenny, Ask it why it chose Emilia as the Dragon Witch. You have the ability to complain to Polkenny, complaining that the dragon is old and dim, and actually chooses a half-elf as a king candidate. This is a blasphemy against Lugnica. You go Demanding a substitution, protesting against it, insulting Pulkenny?"

Fangzheng's contemptuous sarcasm echoed in the meeting hall, but the faces of these civil servants were pale, but they couldn't utter a word.

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Emilia.

"Look, a group of cowards who have no guts will only vent their violence to those who can't resist. I said Reinhardt, you are too kind. If anyone dares to talk to me like that, I will go straight up It doesn't matter if you cut it off, you are the number one knight in the kingdom, can you do something that the number one knight should have?"

"That is to say, you don't even talk back when you are pointed at your nose and scolded. I feel ashamed to death when I see it!"

At this moment, Felut also complained. Before Emilia came in, she was the target of the ministers' fire. At that time, Felut was so angry that he wanted to roll up his sleeves to deal with these bastards. However, Reinhardt stood by and refused to let her do anything...

Sure enough, I would have let my little brother be my knight.

"To shut up!"

At this time, a civil servant suddenly rushed out, pointing at Fang Zheng with a blushing face.

"This is Lugnica's palace, where do you have the right to speak, don't think you—"

No one knew what he wanted to say, because the next moment, everyone saw the civil servant's head fly high and then land on the ground. And his headless corpse shook left and right twice, and then fell to the ground with a "bang", blood spattered out, and even stained the clothes of other ministers beside him.

"Who allowed you to point at me?"

Fang Zheng snorted softly and narrowed his eyes.

"Sure enough, wild dogs need to be educated to understand what is polite."

"........."

At this moment, everyone's eyes on Fangzheng changed.

They really didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to kill people in public, in Lugnica's palace, in this chamber!

"What I said before, it seems that you didn't take it to heart."

Fangzheng patted the ashes that were not on his body at all.

"Now I think, you should remember? Now, let me see who else is there?"

"........."

This time, facing Fang Zheng's question, everyone turned their heads away, and at this moment, a voice sounded.

"Your Excellency Fangzheng, don't you think you have gone too far?"

This time it was none other than Crusch, who was holding the hilt of her sword with one hand, frowning and looking at Fangzheng.

"I don't think so. I warned them once before, and I also knocked on a piece of your territory as a warning, but now it seems that they may not have cared about my warning at all, and my patience is limited."

Having said that, Fangzheng stared at Crusch.

"I gave them a chance. Since they don't believe that I really dare to kill them, then I have to let them experience it for themselves—he has made a choice, and he has to bear the consequences."

"........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone's expressions were distorted. Indeed, although Fang Zheng had threatened them before, at that time they just thought that the other party was just talking cruel words. Although Founder did defeat Reinhardt in the end, and they also ceded a piece of territory. But to everyone at that time, it was more like a consideration of not wanting to be an enemy of the strong. In their view, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to be an enemy of a country.

But now, the twitching corpse on the ground had proved them wrong.

"Okay, that's it."

At this moment, a calm and old voice sounded, breaking the dead silence in the meeting hall.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the formal discussion."

The representative of the Council of Wise Men, Myrotov, seemed to completely ignore the unlucky guy who died below, and continued to preside over the meeting as if nothing had happened just now, while the others turned their heads away as if nothing had happened. , the guard also walked up silently, and then moved the corpse away, and soon, everything returned to normal.

"There were originally two topics for today, but now it can be confirmed through Dragon Ball that all five present have the qualifications of candidates, so the first topic is over, and the second topic is - who can become the king After all, although the Longli Stone stated that five candidates should be gathered, it did not specify the selection method, so in order to determine this issue, let's first ask the candidates for their awareness."

Hearing this, Emilia blinked curiously.

"It's like talking to Mai Lu..."

"A policy agenda, it's all necessary."

"Then first... Lady Crusch, and her knight Felix Argyll."

Hearing the call, Crusch came out with the cat-eared puppet beside her—as expected, no matter how many times he looked at it, this combination made Fang Zheng feel awkward.

"Candidate for the throne, the head of Duke Karsten, Crusch Karsten. This is my knight, Felix Argyll."

"Then Crusch-sama, please explain your thoughts."

"OK."

Facing what Mycrotov said, Crusch nodded, and then she looked around.

"I am very clear about what you expect from me who has the opportunity to assume the throne. The Karsten family has a profound relationship with the royal family and has always had influence on the state affairs. If I can succeed, the state affairs and the national destiny will be able to Continuing in a calm and peaceful way...is that right?"

"..."

Hearing what Crusch said, many people present nodded in agreement. Fang Zheng also felt that this was normal. What matters in politics is not change, but stability. For the ruling class, the best result of this rotation of the throne is a smooth transition, and the worst result is a total overthrow. As it stands, Crusch is clearly the most popular of them all.

Not to mention that she still has the merits of destroying the white whale.

"But I'm sorry, I'm going to tell everyone that I can't do it."

However, at the next moment, Crusch's speech immediately changed the atmosphere of the entire conference hall, even more dignified than when Fangzheng killed the official just now. Many people were stunned and looked at Crusch in surprise, not knowing why she said that.

Facing the gazes of others, Crusch remained unmoved at all and continued talking.

"Lugnica, the kingdom of dragons --- protected by the alliance with dragons in the past, a prosperous country has been built, and all crises will be avoided under the protection of dragons. In the chaos of war, the enemy's country can be burned with only breath, If there is a plague, it can be cured, and if there is a famine, it will be given the gift of a good harvest... May I ask, don't you feel shameful?"

"..."

Accompanied by Crusch's words, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became more and more shaken.

"Especially after seeing His Excellency Fangzheng's actions just now, I have strengthened this belief even more."

Having said this, Crusch looked at Fangzheng again.

"Your Excellency Fangzheng."

"Um?"

"Why did you kill that man just now? Anyway, he is also a nobleman, isn't he? But to you, he doesn't seem worth mentioning."

"nonsense."

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"Every one present is counted as one. Aren't they all dogs raised by Pulkenny? If you want to talk to me on an equal footing, Bolkenny himself is about the same, and his dog dares to bark at me. Isn't that courting death? "

"Bold!"

"You're actually disrespectful to Shenlong..."

This time, although Fang Zheng's words caused another wave of dissatisfaction and complaints, perhaps there was a lesson learned from the past, and no one dared to stand up and die.

"That's it."

Crusch shook his head.

"No one looks down on us. Although Lugnica is a big country, we have not been able to get the respect and status we want. Why? Why don't you think about it? And as His Excellency Fangzheng said, he has The ability to kill anyone present, so, does this herald a crisis for the kingdom? Will the dragon come to help?"

"Since the contract has been concluded, Shenlong will definitely not turn a blind eye to us!"

"That's what I'm worried about. I pay too much attention to the Dragon Calendar Stone. Once I encounter something that neither the dragon nor the prophecy board can handle, I will be helpless..."

Speaking of this, Crusch couldn't help thinking of what Fangzheng said during the crusade against the white whale. If he really killed Polkenny, would the people of this country avenge Shenlong, or would they kneel down and beg him to protect the country?

Fangzheng was sure it was the latter.

In fact, Crusch also believed that it must be the latter.

"If it would be destroyed without the protection of the dragon, then this kind of kingdom might as well be destroyed. Excessive favor will lead to stagnation, stagnation will lead to corruption, and corruption will sound the death knell. I think so."

Facing Crusch's unexpected speech, the faces of the ministers paled.

"You, do you mean to destroy the country?"

"Of course not. If there is no dragon, we will perish, so as long as I wait to become a dragon. Everything about the dragon that the kingdom has relied on so far should be borne by the king and all citizens. Therefore, when I become the king , will ask the dragon to forget the covenant that has lasted until now, because the kingdom of dragons, Lugnica, does not belong to the dragon, but to us.”

"........."

This time, no one spoke, and some even showed a thoughtful expression. Indeed, at first hearing what Crusch said was a subversion of tradition, but after thinking about it carefully, what she said was not wrong. As Fang Zheng said before, everyone has nothing to do with him, and they can only pin their hopes on Shenlong, but What if Shenlong has nothing to do with him?

Moreover, why did the other party look down on them? The reason is very simple. Although they are unwilling to admit Fang Zheng's statement, they still have to admit that this is actually the truth.

If Lugnica would perish without the protection of the dragon, it would be natural to be looked down upon like a pet that loses its owner and doesn't know how to hunt.

For a while, the hall was silent.

After a while, Mycrotov's voice sounded again.

"Then, go ahead."
