Chapter Nineteen: When It Was Buried
This is an epic war and a history that makes people shaken their hearts. Countless heroes rushed into the abyss one after another, just to leave a mark in history?
After the expedition to the abyss, the new Holy Alliance was greatly damaged, but it was officially recognized by the Millennium Empire and the Holy Tree Dynasty. The human race changed from two empires to three empires.
It was an era of heroes.
While Richard was admiring the murals and displays, the heads of various wealthy families arrived again. Richard ignored the expressions of each visitor, the order of coming in and the situation of his companionship, and once again found many interesting places. This was also one of the goals of his meeting place half an hour in advance. He lacked connections and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the information he collected temporarily. However, some unintentional details he saw with his own eyes at this special moment may better reflect the reality behind it.
Everyone obviously had their own thoughts. They greeted each other briefly, took their seats, closed their eyes to rest, or pondered themselves, and the entire conference room became strangely quiet.
When the time was approaching, Richard also sat down in his position, greeted the two dukes of Weling Castle and Tulan, beside him, and waited quietly for the answer to the mystery.
When the magic clock pointed at exactly ten o'clock, footsteps sounded outside the conference room. Then the waiter opened the door of the conference hall and let a middle-aged nobleman in high spirits. He had a full dark dress, each hair was meticulously combed, and his neatly trimmed mustache was shining with light. The man wore two huge rings on his left hand, and the two gems the size of a pigeon egg were extremely eye-catching. However, the real value of these two rings was not in the jewelry itself, but in the energy it contained. They were two legendary items.
The man's feminine face, his distorted and hypocritical smile, and his blue-black eye bags and circles all remember Richard deeply.
Turbid current,
At this time, Richard did not know the name of Zhuiliu, but he could not recognize him. Even if Zhuiliu had completely changed into another appearance, Richard could immediately recognize him with his breath. In the virtue of the world, the identity of the opposite person of Zhuiliu order is too eye-catching and special, just like a lighthouse in the darkness. It is impossible to admit his mistake. It is precisely because it is so easy to recognize that Richard can sacrifice and kill in the Eternal Dragon Palace without worrying about killing the wrong person.
Zhui Liu's face was pale, and there was unnatural weakness in his breath. A legendary strong man like him could not even cover up his weakness. It can be seen how severe the injuries were. It seems that Richard's three sacrifices were extremely effective, which definitely made Zhui Liu's memory deep, and he would not forget it for the rest of his life.
The turbid current walked into the war-falling conference hall, taking the aristocrat's distortion to the extreme. His eyes first fell on Richard, and a trace of unconcealed resentment flashed in his eyes, and then he moved his eyes elsewhere.
As soon as the turbid current came in, some of the heads of the family suddenly realized, while others frowned.
The turbid stream piled up with a twisted smile and said in a sinister voice: "Dear Your Excellency, the heads of the wealthy families of Fudao, I am very happy to see you again here. Although I know that none of you want to see me, you have received invitations and you also know that this meeting is related to the inheritance of the throne of the alliance. You are all real big shots. Time is precious, so I will not talk about it anymore."
After a moment of intentional pause, Zhui Liu's face suddenly shone with dazzling light, and he said in an almost moaning aria: "The great princess, the legend of Ukiyo-eight, the omnipotent Your Highness, has decided to return to the candidate for the throne," the high-pitched voice coupled with his exaggerated gestures seemed to be on the stage of the opera house.
Although some heads of the family have already guessed, they were still shocked when they heard the news. Several other heads of the family who were not so well-informed said in a lost voice: "Your Highness, is it... Princess Wuding?"
"Of course it's Princess Wuding. Is there any eldest princess besides His Highness?" When talking about Princess Wuding, Zhui Liu looked admiring and fanatic, and he looked like a madman.
The heads of the family were shocked, but Richard was confused. He had never heard of any princess Wuding. However, just looking at the expressions on the faces of these wealthy families, we can see that the so-called Wuding Princess is definitely not a simple person. The many wealthy families showed more fear than surprise.
At this time, Duke Joseph stood up and said in a deep voice: "According to the Holy Covenant, candidates for the throne need to be nominated by His Majesty Philip, and Princess Wuding should not be qualified to participate in the throne candidate."
A twisted anger flashed across Zhuiliu's face immediately, and he screamed: "Joseph, I haven't seen you for decades, why are you still so brainless? It's not your turn to question His Royal Highness's candidacy. All you need to do is vote for His Royal Highness at that time. Am I not clear enough?"
The other head of the family also stood up and said slowly: "Turkey, you speak in this tone... Can I understand that Your Highness Wuding is preparing to be enemies with all the wealthy families?"
Zhui Liu suddenly looked solemn and said seriously: "I am just a mad dog at the feet of Your Highness. You should have known what kind of person I am thirty years ago, so don't use such words to squeeze me out. You know this is useless. Your Highness returns this time just to get back what belongs to you. Therefore, I seriously remind you to make careful choices when voting. Your Highness has no intention of being enemies with you, but you should not be enemies with you. That would not make you happy back then. Now I can guarantee that being enemies with Your Highness will make you even more unhappy."
This is a threat of red/lust/naked. What surprised Richard was that the heads of the family did not explode for this, and were actually thinking and thinking seriously.
Zhuoliu looked at Richard at this time, suddenly bowed deeply to Richard, and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is the current patriarch of the Archmond family. His Excellency Richard, although Archmond does not have the right to vote, he can still listen to it at that time. Your Highness is very tolerant and will generously give you a chance to cheer for her."
Richard also stood up, smiled and bowed to Zhuiliu, saying, "Acmond is indeed not long enough, and has insufficient accumulation. He is not a duke yet, but if we Archmond have any strengths, I can only think of a trivial point, that is, there are enough sacrifices."
The smile on the turbid face immediately condensed,
No matter how arrogant and unrestrained he was, he would never want to try the taste of being sacrificed again. That kind of taste was never good. The pain of the power of time was indescribable. Zhuiliu would rather be gnawed into a skeleton by the earth fire army ants in the outside world than try that pain again. Moreover, Richard even took out three high-end sacrifices to sacrifice. This behavior was simply a waste of money, and the style of the nouveau riche was unobstructed. In Zhuiliu's life, the ones he hated the most were not only handsome men, but also the nouveau riche.
The turbid cheeks kept twitching, teeth grinding, and fire was whispering in his eyes, but countless harsh words came to his mouth, but they were swallowed back. Richard had already shown with his actions that he was not short of offerings, and would not be stingy with the use of offerings. With the direct and real threat of sacrifice, any act of making harsh words would seem particularly stupid. Moreover, in front of the heads of a wealthy family, he could not directly attack Richard. He was just a distorted personality, not stupid, and it was impossible to do stupid things that would push all the wealthy families in the floating island to the opposite of Princess Wuding at this moment.
Finally, Zhui Liu just snorted and said gloomyly: "Hisser Richard, this is a personal grudge between us, but after His Highness Wuding returns, I hope you don't do any more impulsive stupid things."
Richard smiled calmly and said, "Will people who can stand here still be impulsive?"
This was a secret meaning again. The turbid air made her face flushed abnormally, and then she suddenly returned to normal. She laughed and said, "That's true."
After saying that, Zhuoliu turned around and said to the heads of the wealthy families: "I have brought the news for His Highness. I hope you will consider it carefully in the throne vote in a few days."
The word "careful consideration" is particularly emphasized, and the threat is obvious.
On the way to leave the Royal Floating Island, Richard walked specially beside the Iron Blood Duke and asked, "Can I visit your Floating Island later?"
The Iron Blood Lord glanced at Richard deeply and nodded, "It's very honorable."
After a moment, Richard and the Iron Blood Duke sat on the terrace of the castle, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the entire Ukiyo-e while discussing the situation of the Holy Alliance.
"Who is Princess Wuding?" This is the question Richard wants to know the most.
"Princess Wuding..." The Iron Blood Grand Duke had long expected Richard to ask about this, but when the name was clearly mentioned, his eyebrows still frowned slightly, showing that he was very afraid of her.
The eldest prince took a sip of coffee and stabilized his slightly ups and downs before saying: "Princess Wuding is His Majesty's sister. He was also the main opponent in the competition with His Majesty for the throne. In terms of personal strength, the eldest princess at that time was stronger than His Majesty, and his bloodline was even more pure. It is said that the eldest princess awakened at that time the Dark Titan, second only to the Destroyer of the Star Dome. However, in the voting for the candidates for the throne, all the wealthy families chose His Majesty Philip." At this point, the eldest prince paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Without exception."
