Chapter 473 The Culprit Is Decree!
October 31.
It has been more than two weeks since Dak came to Golia.
The Gefu Army raised the banner of "supporting the orthodoxy to ascend the throne" in Golia three weeks ago.
The idea promoted is nothing more than that Tabatha is the orthodox royal family, and Joseph is just a usurper who can't even do magic.
This idea is recognized by almost 90% of the nobles in Golia, and they implicitly express their dissatisfaction with Joseph.
Joseph has never revealed his identity as a void magician in public.
So most people still think that Joseph is a waste without magical talent, so many people doubt whether Joseph is an adopted son of the Orreya family.
But now there is no one in the Orreya family who can speak, and Joseph has become the king.
So everyone just thinks about it in their hearts, and dares not ask or investigate.
The nobles of Golia obey the orders of the "king", not Joseph's orders. Even if a pig sits on the throne, as long as the pig is a noble, they will obey the orders.
Unless this pig does too many things that are harmful to the interests of Goria, like the parents of Albion Wales, the nobles will always obey this pig as king.
But the nobles are very concerned about face, which is even more important than the inside.
When they go out, they have to let others mock their king as a pig, then the nobles must be a little bit uncomfortable in their hearts.
Joseph is not much better than a pig in the eyes of the nobles now.
Since ancient times, the kings of Goria have always been famous in the continent as "aggressive expeditionaries".
Until there was an "incompetent king" Joseph.
Joseph did a lot of things in secret, and his ambition was greater than any previous Goria king.
Mainly because most of his energy and time were spent on thinking about how to keep a backhand to deal with the Pope, so he seemed to be inactive on the surface and got the title of "incompetent king".
This "incompetent king" is a title that has always made the Goria nobles feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, when Long led the Ge'an Army to promote the concept and proved Tabatha's royal bloodline and wind magic talent, he easily convinced most of the nobles to join the camp.
Among them, there must be nobles who know the truth and know that Joseph is the descendant of the Orreya family.
But they will choose to pretend not to know.
After all, a better choice has appeared.
After all, Tabatha is the daughter of the previous heir to the throne, and can be regarded as a real princess of Goria and heir to the throne.
And Joseph never mentioned that he should inherit the throne in the mouth of the old king. Although he is the king now, he is a usurper who has not been recognized by the previous king.
This reputation is not good, and the nobles of Goria have been secretly ridiculed by nobles of other kingdoms.
Because of the many grievances suffered by this "incompetent king", they have accumulated little by little until now, and finally have the opportunity to explode.
This is absolutely beyond Joseph's expectations.
Because he never expected that the three kingdoms would form an alliance to pressure him to leave the country, and he also never thought that Tabatha would get the help of the behemoth of the Gefu Army.
Otherwise, the situation in Goria would not change.
Joseph could easily wait for the opportunity to wash away his title of "incompetent king", and then win the hearts of all the Goria nobles.
At that time.
Joseph's throne will be firmly on the throne, and his descendants will become the orthodox heirs, the direct line of the Orreya family.
But this situation will definitely not happen now.
The overall situation in Goria has been determined.
Ninety percent of the nobles are now standing by Tabatha's side, and the remaining ten percent are also waiting and watching.
Almost no nobles are willing to stand on Joseph's side.
To put it bluntly, Joseph did not show any strengths and advantages, so people could not see the benefits of supporting him to continue to be king and the benefits to the development of the kingdom.
And the advantages shown by Tabatha herself are actually only magical talent and royal blood visible to the naked eye.
There are two biggest reasons why the nobles support her.
One is the bloodline in this traditional world setting, which is quite valued by the nobles.
The bloodline played at least 70% of the effect of Tabatha's support.
Another reason played almost 25% of the role.
That is the existence of the Ge'an Army.
In the eyes of many nobles, the Ge'an Army is Tabatha's private army.
To be able to cultivate such a powerful private army, Tabatha must have advantages and strengths that they have not seen.
These two aspects are the reasons why Tabatha can get support.
Goria now.
On the surface, it is calm, but secretly a net has been set up, waiting for Joseph to fall into the net.
The nobles will not kill Joseph.
After all, no matter whether Joseph's true identity is a royal family or not, at least he has the title of a royal family, so no one except the new king Tabatha can punish Joseph.
Joseph, who is far away at the border, doesn't know all this.
The borders of Goria and Garmania are close to each other. The two largest kingdoms directly divide the eastern part of the continent into two, occupying a vast territory. There is almost no neutral area left, which is completely different from the Central and Western parts.
So the meeting place between Joseph and Diocletian is also at the border between the two countries.
Joseph just arrived here today, and Diocletian, as the invited party, has not arrived yet. It will probably take another day or two.
While Joseph was waiting anxiously, a woman with long black straight hair walked into his office.
"My lord, something seems to have happened in the capital."
Sheffield reported to Joseph as soon as he entered the office.
Sheffield.
The mysterious beauty in Goria, who seemed to be the secretary of the incompetent king on the surface, was actually the incompetent king's familiar.
That is, one of the four legendary void familiars - 'God's Head' Misnitron.
However, this so-called 'God's Head' does not mean that Sheffield has a very smart and wise brain.
The ability of 'God's Head' is just to allow Sheffield to use all the magic props in the world without spending any cost other than magic power.
This ability is strong and weak.
In the hands of the poor, it must be the weakest garbage ability.
But in the hands of a king like Joseph, it is very powerful.
In particular, those forbidden magic props can be used as easily as ordinary magic props in Sheffield's hands, and the effect will not be discounted.
As for Sheffield's IQ, it is impossible to tell.
Because Sheffield almost never has any ideas of her own, basically does not use her brain, just like a machine that can only receive instructions to complete Joseph's orders.
However, her nature is different from that of Icheng who is controlled by hypnosis.
Sheffield's consciousness is very clear, and she obeys Joseph's orders because she is a love-brained person, deeply in love with Joseph, and even willing to sacrifice for him.
"What's going on?"
Joseph frowned.
He expected that something would happen when he left the country.
But he didn't expect that this matter would be so big that Sheffield would come to him specially.
Generally, if it is something that Sheffield can solve, then the other party will basically not come to report it specially.
But now that Sheffield is here, it means that some events beyond control and expectation have occurred, which makes Joseph feel uneasy and doubt whether someone is secretly planning his departure this time.
"Almost all the magic props I used have been destroyed, and the few magic props that are still producing effects are of no great use."
Sheffield's face is also very ugly.
Because she was worried that her poor performance this time would make Joseph disappointed in her.
"No dolls were left?"
"Yes."
Sheffield nodded.
The magic doll was one of the magic props used by Sheffield. She activated more than a hundred magic dolls and let them hide in the capital of Goria to secretly monitor all the nobles.
However, those magic dolls were all eliminated one by one a few days ago.
At first, Sheffield thought it was just a few accidents, after all, the speed of eliminating dolls was very slow.
Until later, dozens of dolls were all killed in the same period of time, and she suddenly realized that someone was doing it on purpose.
Before, they might have been investigating the characteristics of those dolls and searching for the hidden locations of other dolls.
But at that time, Sheffield was still not panicked. She activated various other magic props to investigate the situation or solve the culprit, but all failed.
Almost all the magic props she activated were destroyed.
Even the magic aromatherapy she placed in Joseph's bedroom was not spared.
"It seems that something big has happened in the capital."
Joseph raised his hand and pinched his chin, and his breathing began to become heavy.
"Sir, do we still need to go back? Is it too dangerous?"
"It's more dangerous not to go back. Maybe they want to force me out and kill me. Maybe Diocletian is also part of this plan. Will someone want Diocletian to take this opportunity to encircle us? Or..."
Joseph's face became more and more ferocious as he pondered.
Suspicious and cautious by nature, he began to think about various possibilities and felt that everywhere became unsafe.
"Sir?"
Sheffield shouted with some concern.
"."
Joseph came back to his senses and thought for a few minutes before speaking, "I can't stay here any longer. Go back to the city first."
"But."
"It doesn't matter. The capital is at least much safer than outside."
That's what Joseph thought.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Diocletian had a problem. After all, he always felt that he was forced to leave the country this time.
That is to say, someone wanted him to leave the country to do things.
There was only one thing he could do after leaving the country, and that was to meet Diocletian.
Thinking about it this way,
Dai Keri is the most dangerous person!
"I really underestimated this weakling."
