Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Ji Ming still didn't say anything, but frowned as if thinking about something. Then he leaned forward and glanced at the nobles of all sizes in the auditorium.

Well, too many...

There are so many people here, both old and young.

In fact, he had felt something was wrong before, but it was just a guess without any basis, and it was not as intuitive as clear observation results.

In this magical world, in such a huge capital city, with so many powerful people, he couldn't find a few who could be considered middle-aged.

Just like now, the other powerful dukes present who are speaking after Duke Moonlight.

Although these big guys have bright eyes, quick movements and speak concisely, their faces are covered with wrinkles and they are obviously old.

Even the Shining Nobles, because of their ancestral teachings, are like the Emperors in Warhammer 40K, and particularly emphasize the purity of human bloodline.

So even if intermarriage with other races is allowed, mixed-race children will not be allowed to inherit the title, but it is still a bit too strange for such a situation to occur.

Apart from anything else, the great nobles do not have the complicated rules like the royal family, and they must also take assessments on their ability to raise Gu and have priority in establishing a crown prince.

Can't they find a younger successor who will have more time to do great things?

Even if we put aside this doubt for the moment, those young people...

First of all, those who can enter this door are definitely rich or noble, and there is no possibility that any off-field factors can hinder their development.

But what is the reality?

Their steps are unsteady, their eyes are weak, their faces are full of superficial greed, and there is not a single bit of wisdom or future to be seen.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the few guys who lay flat that Ji Ming knew when he was a worker seemed to be more resolute, mature and hardworking than them.

……

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why Duke Moonlight had been shaking his head at the audience while he was speaking.

Ji Ming originally thought it was just a strange personal habit, but now he thinks that although the old man talks a lot, he is actually a good person.

——He is watching!

He just wanted to see if there was anyone in the audience who could understand what he wanted to say, and whether they had the ability to take their place.

But unfortunately, although it is hard to say what the answer is, it is definitely true that “it’s hard to tell”.

After all, the royal family has an assessment as a supervision, and they can still raise waste in a tank, let alone the aristocratic families who have much less pressure.

At least the heir of the Kagamimitsu family whom Ji Ming had met through Prince Fei before was just playful, and in this circle he was actually somewhat anthropomorphic.

But Ji Ming is not a member of the Glory. Even if he is, he is on the side of the church. It is not his turn to be involved in matters of royal power.

Life is already busy enough, so it’s better to respect the fate of others, let go of the desire to help others, and avoid being self-touched.

But I heard that there are players who are really pushing for the title recently, maybe they will solve the problem.

Now that several dukes have finished their speeches, the last one to speak is naturally the most important one among those present.

"Cough cough..."

The Sun King asked his guards to draw open the blackout curtains, stood up, and slowly walked to the railing of the stands.

It has to be said that although this old king likes to fool around, he is still quite popular in the aristocratic circle.

Before he even started talking, the audience had already given him thunderous applause, and some mischievous people were even whistling, as if they were meeting their idol.

Well, maybe he really is an idol.

Because there were several young girls in the crowd, when they saw the king, they looked around anxiously like zombies, trying desperately to find a way to get up.

Seeing this, Ji Ming shook his head and sighed, and decided to take back what he had just said.

——In fact, there are still many young people who are ambitious and eager to make progress, such as them.

Of course the Sun King also noticed them, but he used his amazing willpower to force himself to look away, but the knuckles of his fingers gripping the railing turned a little whiter.

"Good evening, my subjects. I am your king, the master of the glow, the eighteenth Sun King, Anton Glow."

Anton is actually the real name of the first Sun King. According to the tradition of the kingdom, almost every king will choose a favorite son and give him the same name as the ancestor.

And this heir is often more capable while being favored, so whether it is the expected father-son succession or the unexpected brother-to-brother succession, there is a great possibility of obtaining the final victory.

Therefore, there were four Sun Kings named Anton in history, so that the unlucky old Anton could only be the sixth.

Although Lao Deng's words were rather irrelevant and he often used some dirty words in front of Ji Ming, these were actually just private jokes.

In this kind of situation that is bound to be recorded in history books, he, as the ruler of a country, still spoke quite appropriately.

He first expressed his welcome to all the guests in a proper manner, and then wished everyone a better life in the future.

Finally, he emphasized that his children should be united, friendly, and harmonious. No matter what the outcome, they are still brothers and sisters.

Ji Ming didn't care about the previous part, but when he heard this part, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

Turtle, is this also one of your annual traditions?

In such a life-and-death competition for a job, how could friendship come first and competition come second?

You guys know the joke of hell (thumbs-up).

After speaking for about three minutes, the Sun King took out an envelope with a gold edge from his arms.

He slowly opened it like a guest at an award ceremony, and then held the letter in his hand.

"Now, as the glorious monarch and the father of my children, I will announce the names of those who have passed this year's royal examination."

who can that be?

Oh, who else could it be!

But although Ji Ming had already guessed that it would most likely be Fia, who had a strong backing, not only had both parents, but also had the full support of her grandfather and brother.

But honestly speaking, as a descendant of a prestigious family who had strict family education since childhood and was determined to pass the examinations, her performance in the graduation defense was indeed good.

At least compared with her brothers and sisters whose faces showed signs of kidney deficiency and being a vase, she is indeed living a life that resembles a human being.

Until now, Ji Ming still feels disillusioned when he recalls it.

My goodness, the question clearly emphasized that food prices in the capital were low!

When they were asked to solve the famine problem in the fiefdom in the case, some people's answer was to invite the church choir to go to the countryside to sing for free twice more.

And then... and then use the 10,000 gold coins in the inventory to reward yourself for your hard work. Is this an answer that a human can come up with?!

There are countless abstract answers left.

In order to stop the enemy from advancing southward, some people resolutely decided to blow up the dam when it was already raining heavily, and then wash away all the enemy troops.

"Wait a minute, Prince Amar, the enemy is clearly upstream. Do you think a flood can flow upstream?"

"Mr. Examiner, of course I didn't feel it, but I used magic."

"Well, I think it's a bit difficult to do this... Besides, the enemy also has mages."

"Then my mage is even stronger. My team is full of mages. Wow, great mage!"

"..."

Ji Ming, who was listening in as a church representative: Alpaca, so no one cares about the common people who were also washed away?

In order to raise food and fodder for the 50,000-strong army, they organized large groups to go up the mountain to hunt, so that they could easily annihilate 100,000 enemies while filling their own stomachs.

"Princess Sofia, please read the question carefully. This is just a small hill with a radius of less than five kilometers. The creatures on it cannot possibly meet the needs of a 50,000-man army for three months."

"I know, so I asked them to dig underground, and they found a huge underground space with lots of animals in it!"

"...Ms. Wang Nu, is there such a place in this world?"

"It doesn't exist at the moment, but won't it exist once I dig it out?"

"..."

Ji Ming, who was still listening, said: First of all, this space does exist. Secondly, I would like to hear how this Valkyrie easily annihilated 100,000 enemies.

The last question was more complicated, and in order to allow everyone to speak freely, a premise of "if you were the king" was given first.

Then tell the respondent that there are dark forces at home and abroad that are joining forces to strangle him. As His Majesty the King, how should he achieve the most perfect ending?

Everyone wrote a lot, asking the dukes of all parties to lead their troops back to the capital and asking the God of Holy Light to provide shelter. It was quite lively.

There is only one great god, and his answer is only two sentences, and the first sentence is.

——【How difficult is this? I only need to make a slight move, and a peak level 99 strongman will easily crush the conspiracy! 】

The old men and women on the judges' panel were all confused. The answer was passed around at least three times before an old man with a better heart spoke up.

"Prince Quevedo, where did you find this peak expert who is level 99 and is particularly good at tracking and teleporting?"

"Well... I am the king now, and all the civil and military officials in the court are my subjects. Of course I can find them if I want."

"But...we don't have it."

"But I am the king."

"But this is...something that doesn't exist."

“I think this is possible!”

"This really doesn't happen!"

Now Quevedo got angry and slammed the table.

"Fuck, whose side are you on? I'm the king! Traitor, if you keep saying no, I'll chop off your head!"

Ji Ming:......

Bro, this is definitely Anton's biological child. If it's someone else's, I'll apologize in public.

Standing next to this group of geniuses with amazing wisdom, Fia, whose answers, though not perfect, were decent but at least feasible, was simply wonderful.

Although the people were inevitably affected by the war, at least they were not washed away and could come back and rebuild after the war.

Although they tried their best, they still had to disperse 20,000 of the 50,000-strong army before they could barely get through the difficult time. However, they managed to hold off the enemy's attack until reinforcements arrived.

Although "Queen Fia" was nearly assassinated several times, she still relied on the intervention of theocracy and successfully waited until the truth came out, successfully consolidating her royal power.

So when the Sun King read out Fia's name, although many people in the audience were completely worried, more people still expressed congratulations.

But as mentioned before, after the rumors that the Sun King was unwell, whether it was true or not, the overall environment had changed.

The royal examination is held one after another, and no one knows which one will be the last one.

Therefore, those who have already come ashore hope that no more people will be added to this game (literally), and it would be best if all those who have not come ashore continue to be choked.

The ghosts who have not yet climbed ashore want to seize the opportunity, grab the last few tickets, and successfully catch the last train of Wang Quan.

Therefore, for this year's royal assessment, the perfect ending that some people expect is actually Eleanor taking the assessment and then getting the reward through the back door.

This has two advantages. One is that Eleanor will definitely not be able to compete for the throne, and as a strong competitor, Fia will definitely have no chance, so an opponent can be banned in advance.

Another reason is that since an exception has been made this year to allow the backdoor, there will definitely not be an exception next year to allow a second royal child to pass the assessment. They can only have a bye, which reduces the chances of failure.

Unexpectedly, they originally thought that there would be some wrangling first, so that they would have the opportunity to do something bad, but for various reasons, all the officials in the court actually passed the preliminary review with a high vote.

The big guys have all nodded, so it won't be that easy for them to stir up trouble. After thinking it over, they can only lower their necks and accept the result.

But the problem is that there were originally only seven candidates, and in just one month, the number increased by two. It really became a battle for the throne among nine sons, a pure high-end game.

And since the brother and sister Philip and Fia are bound to form an alliance, the remaining seven people will definitely form one or two campaign teams no matter what.

By that time, the Three Families Divided Jin, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out... Oh, the situation was too complicated, I'm scared for my family!

Ji Ming: Yes, I’m afraid there won’t be enough melons to eat.

Never mind. Among these nine people, I will only take care of Eleanor because of the request of my senior.

But because of her special background, she will definitely not participate in the election. Now she has graduated from life, so who will be the son of the rest of them if she lives or dies?

But he couldn't just read it out loud. As Fia's father whom she had only met a few times, the Sun King also went down to show his fatherly attitude.

Ji Ming was hiding aside and complaining silently, thinking that although this was true, it was really hard to remember that these two were father and daughter.

After all, the father who looks like a great-grandfather might have been hanging out with a girl younger than his granddaughter just a few days ago.

I don't know if this old man is a half-immortal who can tell what's going on and guessed that someone was secretly criticizing him, or if he really thinks that disgusting people are ingrained in his bones.

He was putting on a good show, but suddenly he started shouting Ji Ming's name loudly.

"Grass!"

Ji Ming had no choice but to smoothly separate himself from the crowd and make a shining appearance with a business smile.
