How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

The sound fell, the central square was silent, and the tense atmosphere was about to explode.

The civilians and the nobles looked at the emperor together. Just now, their eyes were still the subjects looking up at the emperor, but now they have become dying people grasping a piece of light.

Without exception, their emotions were guided by Bran—Emperor, you are the emperor, you said in your oath that the supreme power comes with the greatest responsibility, and you must protect your people with your life.

Their trust in the royal family has reached an unprecedented level: it turns out that since the founding emperor, there has been such a lofty mission to tell the new emperor who is about to be crowned before the death of each emperor: protecting the empire with life is not a high-sounding empty talk.

It's a pity that at this time, what they admire and appreciate is the entire royal family, the emblem of the flaming rose, not the emperor who has not been crowned for a long time.

Noon was approaching, the sun was dazzling, and it was originally a hot day.But even those who sweated in the hot sun turned into cold sweats due to the tension in their hearts, including Seth Angle.

The nobles of Gregory's family opened their mouths, but they couldn't say anything.

They tried to excuse Gregory from this responsibility - Eucarius was not the only bloodline, and the Second Highness also had the ability to open the scroll.

Sass stood up and said: "I request the Senate and the Council of Nobles to discuss this matter again after the ceremony. It is too hasty to make a decision now. We are still not sure about the accuracy of the information provided by His Highness Berland."

People's eyes turned back and forth on Gregory and Berland.

His Highness Bolan looked silently at the high platform, under the scorching sun, his deep blue eyes were firm.

He suddenly knelt down.

——This kneeling is very important.

His figure is thin, but in people's eyes, he is actually indestructible.

"But we have no time, Your Majesty."

During a moment of silence, two more people fainted—maybe they were dead. The elemental storm was already extremely violent. In the vast territory of the empire, such deaths had happened many times.

"If it is difficult for you to make a choice," he said word by word, "then, I am willing to open the 'Kingdom of God' on your behalf - the blood of the flame rose is also flowing on my body.

Seth's eyes darkened.

Your Highness Bran, you are really... really smart.

It was also at this moment that he fully realized that right and wrong and people's hearts can be manipulated so skillfully, it only takes a few words.

He said "willing to replace" in his mouth, but he forced Gregory to make a choice step by step.

Along with power comes responsibility, and the Kingdom of God is awarded to the emperor together with the scepter and long sword—this was witnessed by everyone in the coronation ceremony just now, and it is the great founding emperor's expectation for the master of the future empire.If it was pushed to Bran, not to mention how bad the emperor’s impression among the common people would be, the group of old-fashioned people in the Senate who swore to the death to uphold the tradition and took "Eucarius I said..." as their catchphrase would definitely The first to disagree—especially after Berland said that.

Gregory on the high platform naturally understood all this.

Hattie looked at him.

She knew Gregory was hesitating.

At this moment, why are you still hesitating——she was thinking about the three people whose life and death were unknown in the audience.

She saw a look Gregory exchanged with Seth, which was by no means the look before going to die calmly.

She finally understood something this morning—listening to the solemn oath and seeing the eyes of commoners and nobles looking up, she finally realized that she had never seen the world and didn't know that the throne is not just a position The emperor is completely different from the president of the Magic Association. He is not the master of a palace, but the master of these living mainlanders, the master of the entire vast and boundless continent.

She also finally knew that between the Duke, Lin Wei, Berlan and Gregory, it was not an elegant and decent chess game, but a bloody battle at every step.

The realization sent chills down her spine.

Daniel looked at the crowd around him, and finally understood everything.

"Berland did a good job, and I should apologize for calling the Duke a coward in my heart when I ordered the Duke to withdraw," thought he; "as for Gregory—ha, I never saw anything more self-inflicted. Yes. It was the old emperor who was supposed to be sacrificed. Listening to Lin Wei’s description of the previous events in the dead marsh, the old emperor had already guessed it after getting the news. Anyway, his life is running out, and he won’t mind opening the Kingdom of God at the end. However, His Royal Highness the First Prince was eager to be crowned as a matter of course, and somehow ended his father's life ahead of time—maybe the Goddess of Light was involved in this, but he did not expect such a result!"

He couldn't help looking at the sky, towards the direction of the floating capital.Not sure if the woman knows what's going on now - or if she's being held back.

His eyes suddenly froze, his pupils constricted.

At the end of the sky as far as he could see, an extremely bright spot of light suddenly burst out, making his eyes sting.

At first glance, the point of light looks as small as a needle tip, but it gradually becomes larger and brighter, like a second sun.

At first he thought it was a large spell, too big—maybe on the level of a forbidden spell.

But after a moment he realized a frightening fact.

That's not getting bigger, it's falling.

There were also a few people who saw the sky, and the people around them also looked at the sky when they saw their movements. For a moment, everyone looked at the sky.

"The sun has fallen!" Someone exclaimed, but in a blink of an eye, the bright sun was still hanging in the sky, almost moving to the center.

"That's..." Daniel murmured.

"The Floating Capital!" The female magician beside him lost her voice.

There is no doubt that the approaching breath is undoubtedly the floating capital that magicians are very familiar with.

The floating capital has fallen?

But how could it fall?

And after falling—

The floating capital is directly above the imperial capital.

The fall is getting faster and faster, and people can already hear the wind.

Heidi was surrounded by nobles and officials from the First Prince family, and Seth Angel began to whisper instructions to Igor of the Magician Legion.

"Although I don't know what those magicians are doing, this is an extremely good opportunity - we have already asked the wisest scholars to estimate that once Callaway crashes, it will land in the southern civilian area and will not endanger this place There will be chaos at that time. Your Majesty needs to command the knights and issue orders. If the Kingdom of God cannot be activated immediately, you take the opportunity to get the damn scroll and destroy it. If you can’t destroy it, hide it. It is said that the magicians of the magical world present stole it. ——they covet the powerful power of this scroll."

Igor hesitated: "But if you open the scroll, that thing can protect everyone. The civilian area is the most densely populated place."

"We, don't, everyone," Seth said in a very low voice, his tone almost reproachful: "Isn't that just following Berland's mind, as long as we--His Majesty sits firmly on the throne. He must have thought of it too, and when he landed in that city Before coming, His Majesty will not open the scroll."

He thought his voice was heard by no one but Gregory's confidantes at his side.

He didn't know that elemental magicians had extremely keen senses.

These words did not fall, echoing in Heidi's ears.

She has never seen such a vicious heart. At this moment, she should be so shocked that she clenched the corners of her skirt, and was trembling with anger—but from nowhere came a strange and blank calmness, and her hands were only trembling slightly. , forcibly suppressed all movements.

No, I cannot be found by them.

She just stared at Gregory, not wanting to miss a single change.

If he made any move to open the "Kingdom of God", she would immediately feel at ease—Gregory was still the same Gregory on Siren Island, an elegant and charming gentleman.

But he didn't. When he saw the fallen floating capital, he even seemed relieved.

Heidi felt cold all over, the scenes of last night echoed back and forth quickly in her consciousness, Lin Wei's warning was extremely clear.

Miss Hattie—you seem to have misunderstood me.

Fascinating colors do sometimes come from bright flowers, but sometimes they come from the hide of vipers.

The truth tore open the hazy wrapping and came one after another, revealing a sarcastic face, looking down at this girl who was forced to understand many things in one day.

She tried her best to control her breathing, and several magicians seemed to remember that she also had keen senses. They glanced at her and found that she was normal. They breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other jokingly: Hey, this one knows nothing The silly girl, she either didn't hear it, or she has completely fallen in love with His Majesty.

The light was so dazzling that one could almost hear the roar of the wind.

All this happened so violently that in an instant, the crisis they faced changed from slow death to immediate death.

"Why didn't the emperor open the scroll!" Shui Lan's elder sister stamped her feet anxiously: "Did he choose to save his own life? Why is there such a person in this world!"

A strong wave of magic power suddenly burst out from her body, which was a sign of burning, and she said to the magicians around her: "Let's go together—maybe we can make the capital deviate a little bit, I remember that there are many open spaces outside this city! "

No one objected.

Magic fluctuations appeared one after another, and the imperial magician who sensed this looked in this direction suspiciously.

Daniel suddenly said: "Stop!"

"What's the matter—there's not enough time! Even if it doesn't fall on us, there are still many people... Why are there so many people living in their capital?"

Daniel sneered in his heart—we can still give our lives for your people.

"Stop," said the alchemist's voice unquestionably, "it's not time to burn yet."

He didn't look at Gregory, but at Heidi who was opposite.

Hattie was looking at Gregory with a strange feeling in her eyes, focused and empty-he remembered this look, it was on the magic wheel struggling to move forward in the storm.

Gregory's expression suddenly changed, and that expression was called unbelievable.

He opened the scroll "Kingdom of God" with his right hand, then picked up the sharp long sword that was just awarded at the coronation ceremony, stretched his left hand in front of him, with his wrist upward.

Only the magicians could see clearly that his hands trembled slightly, as if he was resisting something.

However, he couldn't resist—the sword in his right hand cut through the wrist of his left hand, and the first drop of dark red blood dripped on the ancient scroll, and the lines shimmered.

The rest could no longer be controlled, and his left hand dropped suddenly, tightly sticking to the scroll, and the blood spread quickly.

Seth couldn't believe it: "How could he..."

Heidi suddenly leaned against the back of the chair as if she lost her strength, and her breathing became short of breath.

She closed her eyes, she felt that she should cry, but couldn't.

After all, she listened to Lin Wei's words. When she was on Siren Island, she only told Gregory the most common knowledge of the magical world.

So he only knows that elemental magicians have superior attack power, summoners can communicate with souls, and alchemists are full of whimsical ideas.

He didn't know that there were more powerful powers that he couldn't even imagine.

——such as the great prophecy, which comes from the most mysterious and ancient place in the wizarding world.

Even if Gregory's magician legion knew its name, they would only think it was an illusory prophecy.

People who have never really lived in the magical world will never imagine that even rules can be created.

Seeing the irreversible start of the Kingdom of God on the high platform, she no longer cared about the coronation ceremony and the people around her, stood up, left her seat, and walked towards her friends.

Daniel touched her cold forehead: "Don't be afraid, it's okay—you're doing well."

"But I killed him—I killed a man with my own hands, and he still..." She paled.

"But this is the most correct choice. You have saved many people, not only in the imperial capital, but also in the entire continent."

She didn't say it—it was the man who had said she would marry her as queen, the man she had agreed to after graduating from the Magic Academy, and a perfectly disguised, ruthless liar.

In a cruel way, fate first let her know the truth, and then forced her to make a choice—from that moment on, she was no longer the girl who grew up in a fairy tale.

The blooming roses and singing nightingales in the palace do not belong to her after all.

She closed her eyes, nodded, and when she opened them again, except for a trace of sadness reverberating, she was much calmer.

Daniel was relieved until now, with a smile on his face: "We all forgot that you still have this hand. If he insists on not letting go, we can't do anything to him. Everyone will do it." Get ready to burn yourself to change course."

The light of the scroll lit up, it was extremely light blue, with gentle and firm power.

People stood up, loudly praised His Majesty's greatness, and expressed their highest gratitude to him-he gave his life to save us.

His Highness Bolan is not inferior to him. He first found a solution to the crisis, and then made a request to His Majesty for us, and was even willing to sacrifice his life on His Majesty's behalf—the Flame Rose is the eternal guardian of the empire, and we are willing to accept the rule of the royal family.

The vitality flowed rapidly at the junction between the emperor's body and the scroll, and the blue light became more and more intense, and finally, an illusory figure walked out from the blue light.

The man was tall and slender, his luxurious robe was the style of an emperor hundreds of years ago, his crown was shining, his long hair reached his shoulders, the corners of his eyes and lips were sharply curved, but his eyes were affectionate, as if he wanted to embrace the whole city .

I don't know who shouted: "Your Majesty Nailan! Eucarius I!"

There was a wave of cheers in the crowd, and the knights and the army knelt down to the man in unison.

The man took the scroll and threw it into the sky.

The blue light is like ripples, wind, or tide, spreading out in the sky.

In countless places in the imperial capital, on the ancient buildings and the ground, lines emerged, and the same light was awakened, rising in every part of the city, rising to the sky.

The storm was isolated, and people seemed to be immersed in a gentle ocean. The falling objects hit the barrier, causing turmoil, but in the end they failed to break through and slowly slid aside.

The blue light quickly spread over the continent, and the magnificent Kingdom of God rose from the earth.

"I really didn't expect Gregory to sacrifice himself—he is the most vicious person, how could he give up his life so easily?" His Excellency the Duke wondered, but there was also joy in this wonder.

"What if he doesn't open the Kingdom of God?" Shui Lan's sister asked curiously.

"The emperor turned his back on his people, my army will overthrow him together with all the common people present, and Beran will become the new emperor." The Duke's tone was a little sly: "But the empire has only two princes, and one is no longer worthy of sitting on the throne." Ascend to the throne, and the other will sacrifice his life. People will not insist at this time, and they will even ask for Gregory to pay for his life, so that he can open the scroll, instead of winning all their beloved His Majesty Berran."

At this time, the central square was full of cheers, and people even shed tears of excitement, which wet the flowers in their hands.

Of course, history will record this glorious and touching moment with the most beautiful writing style and the most sincere praise, but the real story is silent in the blue eyes of the red-haired female magician and the meaningful smile of the Duke. , will never be known.

The magicians looked at each other, and Daniel said to the Duke, "Duke, we are saying goodbye to you."

The smiling Duke was a little surprised: "Let's go now - the celebration will last for a long time, won't you stay and watch Beran's coronation?"

"It was our capital that crashed, and the safety of our world is unknown."

Upon hearing this, His Excellency the Duke nodded solemnly to them: "I was the one to be rude - I wish you all good luck."

Daniel grinned. "We've always been lucky."

He turned back to his companions: "Now is the time for us to burn ourselves——Lan Yan, you are the most powerful, and you have to be responsible for leading me."

Shui Lan's sister hummed, and a group of magicians flew up, passed through the powerful blue barrier, set up their own barrier, and rose in the storm until they disappeared into the sun and clouds.

Sandra's figure appeared in an instant, catching Lin Wei who fell from the sky, he pulled Adrihiger, and the two stood still on the dragon's back - the tower master who is not an elemental magician can't fly either Yes, and the power of his great prophecy has almost been exhausted.

"What's going on here!" Lin Wei wanted to grab Adrihiger's collar at this moment: "Why did it fall!"

"She destroyed the magic circle that bound her, and the floating capital has been suspended in the air by the power of the magic circle all these years." Adrisig wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, and looked at the goddess who was still floating in the air Like: "But it doesn't matter, the chairman has already transferred all the items in the trading house. God knows how many space appliances he has begged from Sylvester over the years, and it can hold so many!"

Lan Yan threw Daniel on the dragon's back: "How are you doing? Where's my brother?"

Lin Wei took back the La Belle vine, and a few people were entangled in the vine, and dragged back to the dragon's back. They were all unconscious, and Shui Lan was among them.

"It's a pity you didn't see the scene where Shui Lan turned into the God of Fire and wanted to burn us to death," Lin Wei shrugged, "Fortunately, I signed a soul contract with him to protect his soul. After death, after waking up, he is still your brother."

"The other gods are dead too?"

"There is the most troublesome one left." Lin Wei looked at the pure and white statue of the goddess, which was now full of cracks and was falling apart bit by bit. The debris rolled into the air, and the light shone.

"She's coming out soon." Lin Wei looked at Adrihiger: "Your big prophecy can no longer be used, and neither can the old man. Most of us are dead—what are you going to do with her?"

Adrihiger didn't speak, but Lin Wei suddenly noticed that his eyes were terribly calm.
