Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 99
As the conversation deepened, Ben and Rand talked about the Dragon Kingdom, and Ben briefly introduced what he heard about the abolition of the king 9 years ago. To be precise, the big families united and launched a palace coup. overthrew the previous king.

The former king, Arnold Red Dragon, was the former king and the son of Beto Lanyuan, the former prime minister of the kingdom. Tor was once related to the case of Jokoda Red Dragon and asked Arnold Red Dragon to investigate and announce the case.

Arnold refused, and the five families used various reasons to connect the royal capital and local magister families to launch a coup, forcing Arnold to abdicate and leave the palace to escape to the imperial capital.

Although this coup had a huge impact, the killings at that time were actually very small, because the three pillars of the Red Dragon, Feilong, and Blue Dragon families controlled the control of the various forces in the capital. Power has entered the palace, and other legends within the kingdom do not wish to divide the kingdom.

In the final stalemate, the Prime Minister of the Empire (a demigod) appeared and presided over the high-level and legendary meetings of all families, and finally confirmed Arnold's resignation at the empire level.

Then several big families argued with each other over who would choose the new king. In the end, the Northern Earl Bai Xiao's family became a result acceptable to everyone, and Dusen Bai Xiao, the Earl of Bai Xiao, became the dragon king.

"Isn't the royal family of our dragon empire the Red Dragon family?" Lante really didn't know, after all, he was still a child at the time.

To be precise, even the viscount family in the imperial capital seldom guide the inside information. At most, I heard that there was a meeting at that time, and the next day it was announced that the king was unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons. The great nobles brought all the vassals to the king's capital to have an audience.

"Yes, but not any demon possessor can inherit the throne of the king. The most basic requirement for succession is to be above a high level," Ben explained.

In the world of magic, strength and blood relationship jointly affect the succession of dynasties. According to the law of succession to the throne, high-ranking male descendants have priority in inheritance, followed by high-ranking female descendants, then their high-ranking husbands, and finally female high-ranking descendants of male descendants. Companions, if none of these are suitable, should be chosen from among the offshoot brothers of the old king according to rank and kinship.

At that time, the high-level descendants of the Red Dragon family were relatively rare. There was a coup in 910. At that time, His Majesty Jokoda Red Dragon was assassinated by his younger brother Kaiya Red Dragon. There are no high-level professionals in the middle.

But the old king Baueria had so many daughters that all the field earls and marquises in the entire kingdom were sons-in-law, nephews, and grandsons of the old king, and the rank requirements of the field nobles were also high, so the prime minister of the kingdom, All the nobles can inherit the throne of the king.

However, there is a condition for their succession to the throne, that is, as long as they and the descendants of the Red Dragon family break through to high ranks, they will give way to their descendants.

Therefore, in the end, Beto Lanyuan, the son-in-law of Baueria Red Dragon, the prime minister of the kingdom, succeeded to the throne. After he and Mia Red Dragon's eldest son, Arnold Red Dragon, broke through to a high level, Beto Lanyuan will abdicate To Arnold Red Dragon.

"Marriage with a big family is also a tradition of the Red Dragon family. It is to prevent the family from unfortunately having no one to succeed to the throne."

Hey, a big family is more troublesome, but Rand feels that his family may not be so small in the future.

. . . . . . .

Rand talked with Ben Kaur in the middle of the night. Ben is knowledgeable and funny. As long as he talks about history and theory, he is very good. Although Rand likes to complain in his heart, he never puts on the airs of the lord. Let Ben Kaur say It's also very enjoyable.

It was so enjoyable that Rand dreamed of goblins, red dragons and other chaotic scenes at night. He planned to get up between 8 and 9 o'clock, but he was an hour late.

Today is the day that Rand agreed to go to Dragon Tooth City. He will first go to the portal yard of the Earl's Mansion, from there to the Dragon Tooth City Teleportation Hall, and then visit Antreki of the Blue Dragon Family to get his space props. Then he took his subordinates to settle in the capital and set up a chamber of commerce in the capital.

Before setting off, Rand took another look at Neil. After all, Neil will be returning to the Viscount in a few days. Rand specially handed over the magic gifts he bought yesterday afternoon to Neil and asked him to take them back for him. .

He also went to see Wendy and the other girls, and asked with a smile if they left in a hurry yesterday to develop the magic device.

Unexpectedly, Wendy actually gave him a palm-length "bright stick" that could be held with one hand. This was actually one of the concentrated magic items that Rand had brainstormed with Wendy yesterday. Made it.

Before noon, Rand took Mace, Fang, his carriage and guards to the other courtyard of the Earl's Mansion.

It is said that this is an individual courtyard, but it actually occupies a larger area than the Chamber of Commerce outside the city. From the outside, it looks like a square building with a height of more than 40 meters, but after entering, it is discovered that there are A huge pillarless hall, the space of the hall extends from the ground to the roof, and this hall is equipped with a huge magic portal with a height of about 30 meters.

The portal is like a rectangular gate frame, 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. When the teleportation magic circle on the ground is opened, the gate frame gradually becomes dim and translucent.

This portal runs intensively from noon to afternoon every day. If you want to pass through the gate, you need to make an appointment the day before, and then go outside the gate of the other courtyard the next morning to check the opening time of the destination.

Because there is only one door, each location can only be opened in both directions once a day, and if you miss it, you can only come back another day.

Once the portal is activated, it is a crystal-swallowing beast. It needs to consume more than 10 magic crystals to open it, and it consumes magic crystals every minute if it continues to operate.

Therefore, the space mage in charge of the magic circle in the other courtyard will concentrate the destinations before operation, which can reduce the number of times to change destinations, reduce costs and maintenance requirements.

If it is a popular place such as Dragon Tooth City and Imperial Capital, the cost for individuals to pass will be relatively low. Each person needs 5-10 gold coins to pass. The specific amount depends on the number of people sent on the day. Need to charge by weight.

If you are going to a relatively remote place, or wait for more than 10 people to pass through together, or use krypton crystals, pay 8-10 magic crystals to open the portal once.

This time Rand went to Red Dragon City, not just for school, but to be able to settle down in the imperial capital and conduct long-term business activities.

With many tasks, Rand paid a large fee for his subordinates, black-scaled horses and carriages, and was finally allowed to enter Dragon Tooth City within 12 minutes after 30:15 noon.

Passing through the portal is a very special experience. It feels like entering a burst of cold mist. However, at the same time as the tactile sensation comes the panic in the mind and even some discomfort in the soul.

According to the mage next to the portal, all kinds of reactions are normal, and more importantly, once you pass the gate, you must run a few steps quickly, so as not to delay the passage of people behind.

After passing through the portal, Lant was most affected by everyone. At the moment of passing through the gate, Lant even felt that he saw two of himself, one as the fourth son of the baron of Lant Galloping Horse, and the other One is He Chao, the two selves are so different, yet they are exactly the same.

Before he could react, Lante had already arrived in Blue Dragon City, and he could only walk a few quick steps to pant beside his black-scaled horse. Lante, who hadn't recovered yet, vaguely heard someone else's shout.

That was the receptionist arranged by Antrecht, who had been waiting for a long time, and was specially to guide them.
