Registration for the Jumo City Youth and Middle-aged Adventurers Competition will last for three weeks so that contestants from all over the country can arrive in time.

Therefore, Daren gave the hotel owner 10 silver jicks, changed to a more spacious twin room, and extended the food and accommodation for a month. Then he and Enid lived in peace and began to prepare for the competition.

At the same time, another guest in another single room in the same hotel also lasted for a month, but he kept himself in the room for hard work all day.

The rotation of Jumo City day after day seemed to be eternal. The people in the city returned to their previous rhythm of life. After the holy war, life seemed to suddenly become particularly calm.

But in another place thousands of miles away, it was not calm.

—————

Carl King's Court.

This capital city of the human kingdom is located in the birthplace of the Garnia River and the deep hinterland of the mainland.

It covers a huge area and has a huge circular wall of more than 80 kilometers in diameter. It is also 50 meters high, like a cliff rising from the river bay plain. Crossing the city wall, you can see a lot of tall and low houses. Due to the expansions in history, the buildings in the city are not neat, but are lined up one after another, one after another, with a staggered height and a crowded and prosperous place.

All kinds of people walk between the cracked paths of the building, and carriages are back and forth on the spacious main road. Sometimes, aliens with unique appearances appear in beast carriages, but they are not regarded as aliens.

The market is noisy and bustle, the restaurant entrance is lively, the guards on the city wall are patrolling with slogans, and the singing of the Cathedral of Light soars into the sky.

If you come by boat and water, the first thing that comes to your eye is definitely the beautiful castle on the riverside. It has spotless silver exterior walls, golden red flags, torch domes, and a metal knight statue with horse hooves running on its head... This beautiful castle, which can be called the "city of the city", is the current court administration of the Carl Kingdom.

At this moment, in the hall of Knights Castle, there were ten people sitting next to a gorgeous long table that was 20 meters long.

But there are eleven seats!

The most luxurious and largest seat is naturally the exclusive seat of the young king, located at the end of the long table. The other ten relatively ordinary seats are arranged on both sides, exactly 5 on one side. The only empty seat is the one located on the left side of the king's seat... The remaining nine are all seated on them.

"As for the proposal to close churches across the country... do you think it's feasible?"

The person speaking was a man who looked in his thirties, dressed well and gentle.

The ship-shaped badge on his chest revealed his identity as a "Marine Minister". While speaking, he looked at the other ministers at the deskmate with excited and eager eyes, and his tone was inspiring: "My colleagues, the sacred war failed and His Highness Glen died. The authority of the prophet is questioning... This is a god-given opportunity to re-establish the authority of the royal family!"

"More than 180 years ago, the chief pastor gave up his identity as the 'King's Left Hand' and voluntarily withdrew from the cabinet, claiming to be a pope. This move was originally a great provocation to the authority of the Carl royal family..."

"Since the founding of the Holy See of Light, it has promoted the 'God's Word', compared the Pope's power to the sun, and the king's power to the moon, saying that there are clouds in Genesis, and the light of the moon was borrowed from the sun..."

"The people may be easy to deceive, but how could we all here not know that this is the trick of the Holy See? The territory of the Kingdom of Carl was built by the great Knight King himself. The spirit of chivalry is the foundation of the country, not the so-called doctrine of light... But over the years, the Holy See has grown stronger, and His Majesty Ren has always let it go due to his respect for the goddess of light."

"We can't continue like this anymore! The Holy See has only been established for more than a hundred years, and now there is a saying that "The Holy See is one of the two pillars of the kingdom". In a remote alien country, there is still a joke about "ten Carls and nine Lightmen"... If you don't do anything, the Carl Kingdom will probably really change its name in the future."

"From the day we became a member of the cabinet, we have vowed to be loyal to the Kingdom of Carl and the Carl family forever... Now that the king is young, he cannot understand the key points, so this responsibility naturally falls on us!"

"Success or failure is here, please consider it seriously!" The Maritime Minister said excitedly, and stood up on the table with his hands on his hands and growled.

On the long table, there was a silence. The little emperor of Carl XVI, who was only seven years old, was awakened from his sleepiness by screaming. He wiped away a trace of saliva from the corner of his mouth in a daze, and looked at the maritime minister who stood up in shock.

On both sides of the long table, the ministers looked at each other.

The Cabinet's assisted king was a system that was personally set by the Knight King Carl I of that year.

The cabinet must be composed of ten people, and the identities of these ten people are fixed. The most important ones are the chief priests known as the "King's left hand" and the dragon-headed prime ministers known as the "King's right hand"! In addition to these two right-hand men, there are four military presidents from the east, west, south and north borders of the kingdom! As well as the Minister of Finance, Maritime Ministers... As well as the head of the Royal Knights! And the great elders of the Palace Mage!

However, since the chief pastor voluntarily withdrew 184 years ago, only nine people remained in the cabinet.

At this time, eight ministers, including the Maritime Minister, quickly made a statement, with only one, and never spoke.

But no one found it strange... The only person who was silent was the "weird man" sitting on the seat nearest to the king's right hand - the Dragon Head Prime Minister!

I saw this man, although he was wearing a simple robe and his hands and feet were the same as normal, his head was a scary ferocious dragon head! It was not a normal dragon head, but a shriveled dragon head skeleton. The light in the two huge eye holes was light and dark, like lava flowing.

This is the "Dragon Bone Crown", a treasure inherited by the dragon heads and prime ministers of all dynasties.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Carl was based on the defeat of the lava dragon by Carl I. It is said that the original intention of the Knight King to establish the "Dragon Head Prime Minister" was to "warn future generations" to remind descendants to be prepared for danger in times of peace and not to forget how the kingdom was established. The Dragon Head Prime Minister is always the king's most decisive "right hand". If necessary, he even has the right to abolish it instead of the king and rule on other cabinet ministers! Even if this is the case for one's own people, it is an invisible deterrent to the enemy.

There has always been a rumor in the Kingdom of Carl, called "I would rather provoke the king than provoke the dragon minister."

The dragon-headed prime minister of this generation is dull and thin, but no one dares to underestimate him... He is an old sub-legacy, and an unfathomable sub-legacy.

In the past, almost every cabinet vote would have a vote of "abstention", that is, Long Xiang... "He" liked to wear a black cape, cross his fingers with his chin, lower his head and not speak, and this time was no exception.

"Then..." The Maritime Minister swallowed his saliva and his eyes moved away from the creepy dragon crown. "Then, the result of this vote was 8 votes of agreement, 1 abstention, and it was planned to pass... His Majesty the King, do you have anything else to say?"

As he expected, the little king who was yawning all over the sky showed joy on his face when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to jump off the seat!

"After the meeting? No comments or opinions! Everything is as you discussed!"

While waving his hands, the little boy jumped and ran to the back garden.
