Chapter 1 Memorial
The bad news of His Majesty Edwards' death has completely wiped out the joy of our successful completion of the Trial. I almost didn't want to delay it for a moment, so Douglas and Xiaohong flew to the imperial capital quickly.\www.qb5.com//
When the tall walls of the imperial capital appeared in our sight, the red totem pole on the city gate was hung with a black sunset flag. This flag only represents one message: His Majesty the King has passed away!
The news of the return of the God-Blessing Sacrifice has been handed back to the imperial capital by the Eagle Air Force through the flag slogan, so our party can rush to the palace without any obstacles.
When we landed in front of the palace gate, there were guards waiting there and immediately took us to His Majesty's mourning hall. Xiaohong had a special shape, and Xiaoya ordered her to wait outside the mourning hall, which made the little guy unhappy.
At this time, the mourning hall was filled with sorrow. The queen, who had met me several times, knelt in front of His Majesty's coffin with Catherine. The mother and daughter were wearing black cloth on their heads and white mourning clothes, and looked sad, which made me feel confused when I saw it.
Under the leadership of the Great Elder Brent, a group of civil and military officials of the empire were also guarding the spirits in the mourning hall. When the guard informed the "God blessed the God to worship His Highness and return!", he raised his eyes and saw us hurriedly stepping into the mourning hall.
As soon as Xiao Ya entered the mourning hall, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears were already hanging on her face. I didn't have time to say hello to Elder Brent, and stopped at the coffin at first glance.
At this time, the coffin lid of the coffin had not been covered. His Majesty Edwards, whose appearance had been sorted out, was lying there calmly. At least from his expression, his Majesty left peacefully.
I remembered that since I arrived at the imperial capital, Your Majesty has treated me very much and treated me as close as my son and nephew. Instead of despising me for my youth, I have entrusted me with important responsibilities and unconditional trust in me. His pure and elderly spirit and heroic and unrestrained temperament have already left deep traces in my heart. I look at Your Majesty, just like a father and a teacher! When I think of Your Majesty's past, my tears can't stop flowing.
After bowing to His Majesty's body, Elder Brent led me and Xiao Ya to a quiet room next to the mourning hall to speak alone. I don't know if it was because of the exhaustion, but the Elder seemed much older and no longer as wise as before. After His Majesty's death, the entire empire's responsibilities were all on the body of this great priest, which shows how important the task he took on at this time.
Elder Brent told us the reason for His Majesty’s death. His Majesty is old after all, and he is overworked. On the night three days ago, his heart muscle suddenly had problems and he passed away peacefully without having time to rescue him.
His Majesty Edwards has three sons and two daughters. Except for Catherine who was still in the imperial capital, the Caliph was stationed at the Jintang Fortress. The other two princes and a princess were married and each had fiefs. The capital had spread the news of His Majesty's death across the country. At the latest ten days later, all His Majesty's children would return to the imperial capital to help His Majesty's souls and bury him.
The Great Elder told me what happened in the imperial capital, and then I had the opportunity to give a detailed explanation to the Great Elder Brent of the Trial.
When he heard that Xiao Ya had become a unique double pet priest and conquered a holy-level battle pet again, the elder's eyes, which were originally somewhat turbid, suddenly flashed, and he regained his usual style of commanding.
There is a holy-level monster in the Meteorite Canyon. Elder Brent has long known that this is also a secret between the high-level officials of the empire. It is said that this miracle continent has four forbidden areas since ancient times. The Meteorite Canyon among the 100,000 mountains is one of them. After the Beast God Empire retreated to the 100,000 mountains, it was discovered that the periphery of the Meteorite Canyon was quite complete, so it was classified as a place of trial. However, the depths of the Meteorite Canyon are almost another world, and there are super powerful holy-level monsters, which have been secretly disclosed to the outside world.
I also think this is a bit reasonable. The elves have so-called ancient books, so our beasts should have something to hold the bottom of the box. The Great Elder didn't expect that our trial ceremony would actually meet the most powerful Yan Bird among the holy-level monsters, and he didn't expect that Xiao Ya could actually take Yan Bird as a battle pet. If the death of His Majesty Edwards could be said to be the empire's loss of the backbone, then Xiao Ya would be able to conquer Yan Bird as a battle pet, which would be able to support the backbone of the empire again.
The great elder shouted "Bless the Beast God!" and estimated that the three days since His Majesty's death, he should have been in an unprecedented depression. Now he can only hope that the good news brought by Xiao Ya can cheer up the only remaining leader of the empire and lead the subjects of the orcs out of the predicament.
Elder Brent walked around the quiet room with his hands behind his back, and then said to us: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. After Your Majesty passed away, the biggest problem that troubles my beast tribe now is who will succeed to the king."
I know that no matter which race, the alternation of royal power over the years has been an extremely sensitive topic. The beast race has no tradition of hereditary royal power. Generally, the Elders passed collective resolutions to select the new king from the several outstanding beast races elected. Of course, if the previous king has a favorite successor, he is generally the most likely successor.
Like His Majesty Edwards, he took office as the king because his ex-Majesty Kant was ordered in danger. With my understanding of His Majesty Edwards, he actually likes the Caliph. Although the Caliph is his son, the so-called "recruitment of talents does not avoid relatives". With the Caliph's talent, as long as he has been properly tempered, he will definitely become an outstanding leader. This is also the reason why His Majesty always strictly requires the Caliph. It can even be said that the reason why His Majesty always gives me the opportunity and strongly supports me is to find a right-hand man for the Caliph.
The Great Elder also liked the Caliph. Originally, they were the two imperial leaders, and it would be natural for the Caliph to take over the throne after a few years of training. However, the sudden death of His Majesty left behind changes to the inheritance of the throne.
Although Your Majesty and the Great Elder trust me, I am still young and are not really entering the management of the empire. Logically, this involves the issue of inheritance of the throne, so the Great Elder should not discuss it with me. Could it be that Elder Brent has encountered some huge problems now? I really can't find anyone who can talk to me about such sensitive topics as inheritance of the throne?
