One reason was to be on the safe side, and the other was to demonstrate his trust in Ulysses.
Unexpectedly, the key malfunctioned and could not open the treasure vault door.
Ulysses suddenly realized something and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "His Majesty doesn't even trust me anymore."
He had rendered the key-based method useless; now the only way to unlock the treasure vault's formation should be through incantations, but His Majesty was already dead.
Yang Cheng said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Apart from the secret realm of the Holy See that is hidden in another space and cannot be opened, I don't believe there is any door in this world that cannot be opened."
"Go and invite President Salier of the Alchemists' Guild, Master Morton, and Chief Grace of the Central District Police Station. It's time to discuss the succession issue."
Ulysses was taken aback, and then sent someone to summon President Salil and the others, but to his surprise, they were already waiting outside the palace.
Chairman Salier and the others were also summoned by Yang Cheng yesterday.
Of course, Yang Cheng didn't call for outside help because he was afraid of Clough's methods, but rather to have them handle the aftermath and fulfill his promise.
One should be trustworthy. Although Clough was untrustworthy, Yang Cheng should still keep his word.
When they all came in and saw Clough's body on the ground, their expressions changed.
Although they had vaguely guessed this outcome, the impact of seeing Yang Cheng destroy the Papacy and kill the king was still significant.
Yang Cheng turned to Salier and Grace and said, "Although Clauf is dead, the Assyrian Kingdom still exists. From now on, the Assyrian Kingdom will be handed over to Ulysses and the two of you."
The throne will be inherited by Clough's son. Ulysses, all you need to do is fulfill your family's promise and protect the royal family, even if he is an idiot.
The safest emperor would actually be this fool, because he poses no threat to anyone and will naturally be very safe.
Chief Grace, you have a lot of resentment and grievances to vent now.
Clough is dead, and the police system in St. Brand is now directly under your management.
You can clean up all those decadent and corrupt nobles and officials.
As for the superhumans, Pollit's Night Watch will assist you. Any superhuman who dares to cause trouble during this time will be immediately eliminated!
Finally, capable and virtuous officials and nobles were selected to enter the parliament, completely bypassing the emperor and jointly ruling the parliament.
President Salier, after this battle, the Alchemist Association can directly align itself with the Assyrian Kingdom. One provides the funds, and the other provides the labor, which can push alchemy to a higher level.
I wonder if everyone is satisfied with my arrangement?
Ulysses, Salier, and Grace exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We are willing to follow Mr. Yang's orders!"
For Ulysses, all he wants now is to preserve the royal family, the Edwardian dynasty.
Yang Cheng only killed one Clough; he had no intention of coveting the throne, and he would not ask for anything more.
The same applies to Salil. With the destruction of the Holy See, the Alchemist Guild is now the largest organization of supernatural beings, and Yang Cheng has already fulfilled his promise to him.
Grace is capable and of decent character; she was simply suppressed by a group of corrupt and decadent noble officials.
Now that Yang Cheng has given him confidence and strength, he should be able to do even better than before.
After discussing the matter, Salier, along with Morton and other alchemists, began preparations to work together to open the secret chamber of the palace.
The alchemical array above the secret chamber was also quite powerful, but it was opened in less than half an hour by the combined efforts of several top-level alchemists.
The room was filled with jewels and precious items, mostly treasures from the royal collection, as well as weapons and armor forged by renowned craftsmen, and various rare books.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the Spear of Longinus, which is also the divine weapon of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun, the other half of the three-pointed double-edged sword.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath. He could feel the three-pointed double-edged sword pulsating, but he did not choose to fuse with it immediately. Instead, he planned to take it back for research first.
Ulysses said, "The Spear of Longinus now bears the blood pact of the Edwardian family. Besides Clough, Prince Lyon also knows the method to break the pact."
Should I go to the prison now and find Prince Lai En to break the blood pact first?
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "No need for that trouble, I have my own way."
The so-called blood pact is more like a sacrifice, and it was through this sacrifice that the Edward family was able to wield the three-pointed double-edged sword.
Yang Cheng possesses various inheritances from the Pure Source Dao Mysterious True Lord, so of course he has no need for this thing.
P.S.: Sorry for the late update. I don't know what I ate last night, but I started vomiting from midnight until I threw up everything before I felt a little better.
