Chapter 465 Magic Scroll
At this time, the person standing on the towering wall of the City of Glory and speaking was Chat Jean, the second prince of the Principality of Jean.
"Commander Sina, if you want to enter the city, then let my father come over to talk!"
The second prince Chat ignored Sina's question, repeated it again, and then sat leisurely on a soft chair!
Seeing the second prince acting like this, Sina knew that he had no say in what happened, so he simply turned his horse around and headed back.
The people at the back had already noticed something was wrong at this moment, and those little nobles couldn't help but become nervous.
"His Majesty!"
"What's going on? Sina!"
"Your Majesty... The Second Prince appeared on the wall of the City of Glory and said that if you want him to open the city gate, you need to go there in person to negotiate!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Sina's words were like a bombshell dropped among the teams of the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban.
Now, the pursuers are closing in behind, and the front seems to be safe, but suddenly such a change happens, and no one can remain calm.
King Lawrence looked grim. He ignored the discussion behind him and quickly confirmed with Sina: "Are you sure it's Chat?"
That was his second son and now his only son. Now there was a powerful enemy behind them and Prince Chat was blocking them outside the city. How could King Lawrence dare to believe this was true?
"Your Majesty, I can confirm it!"
When Sina saw Lawrence's anger, he immediately lowered his head, but his voice was very confident.
…
Gervis was not far from King Lawrence at this moment. He also heard Sina's report and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Is this also a conspiracy of the church? Their strategy of instigating the second son to usurp the throne is not only used in the Principality of Xis and the Principality of Alban, but also in the Principality of Jean?"
drive!
King Lawrence said nothing more, but rode his horse straight towards the gate of the City of Glory.
When the other nobles in the front row saw this, they quickly urged their horses to chase after King Lawrence. They also wanted to hear what was going on, as this was related to the life and death of all of them.
Gervis did not fall behind and followed those nobles.
…
"Father, you're back!"
When King Lawrence came to the bottom of the city wall, Chat smiled and shouted to King Lawrence.
"Chat, have someone open the city gate right now!"
Before setting out on the southern expedition, Lawrence left the second prince of Chat in the capital of the principality. He had not expected such a thing to happen.
Lawrence did not ask why the Second Prince Chat appeared here, but gave orders with a serious face, releasing the aura of a peak gold knight.
"Father, if you want me to open the city gate, you need to agree to a few requests of mine."
Faced with the aura emanating from King Lawrence, the second Prince Chat was also quite frightened for a moment, and paused slightly.
But he reacted immediately the next moment, became extremely calm again, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Father, you don't have to do this. I'm not really not letting you enter the city. I just want to take this opportunity to make a small request to you! As long as you agree! I promise to open the city gate."
"explain!"
Although with the strength of himself and others, if they delay a little time, they will definitely be able to attack the City of Glory.
But the problem now is that they lack this little time. King Lawrence is worried that the pursuers behind him will take the opportunity to attack them from behind, and then they will be attacked from both sides.
The more than 20,000 elite soldiers behind him were their greatest reliance in resisting the church. In order to successfully enter the City of Glory, Lawrence suppressed his anger.
"Thank you, father. I'll tell you then!"
The Second Prince Chat smiled slightly and then said.
"All I ask is that you can crown me as the sole heir to the throne!"
"Can!"
"Also promise not to deprive me of my status as heir after entering the city!"
"Can!"
King Lawrence looked at Chat with deep eyes and agreed to Chat's request without any hesitation.
"Thank you very much, father! As the king, you will not break your promise in front of so many earls and commanders!"
"But father, words are not enough. I have a written contract here. You just need to sign it, stamp it with your seal, and swear to the God of Glory! I will open the city gate immediately!"
After Second Prince Chat finished speaking, he saw a hanging basket lowered from the city wall, and an ordinary soldier ran down from it holding a contract that looked like a scroll.
…
Looking at the scene ahead, Gervis felt a little uneasy.
Gervis felt that the Second Prince Chat's request seemed reasonable, but was too blatant.
Although they swore an oath to the God of Glory, basically no one dared to break it as long as they were knights and nobles, not even the king.
But the second prince Chat is too weak, and King Lawrence still has many years to live, during which time he can use any tricks he wants to punish the second prince.
Doesn’t the second prince Chat know this?
However, although he felt uneasy, Gervis could not detect anything wrong. He even suspected that he had guessed wrong before. This was just the second prince's own idea without the involvement of the church.
And judging by the expressions on the faces of the other nobles, they did not notice anything wrong and instead thought it was normal.
This kind of thing has already happened twice, so it’s not surprising that it happened in the Principality of Zeon as well.
The only difference may be that the other two principalities were plotted against by the church, while the Principality of Jean may be the second prince's own idea.
They were even laughing in their hearts at the bad luck of the Second Prince Chat. Now that the First Prince Derek was dead, even if the Second Prince didn't do this, he would definitely be the heir to the king.
Doing this now would be more trouble than gain. Even if I get the qualification of heir, I would definitely not feel comfortable in the future.
…
Under the gaze of everyone, the soldier responsible for delivering the contract scroll carefully came in front of everyone, then held up the scroll and presented it to King Lawrence.
All the nobles stretched their necks to look at the scroll, wanting to see what was inside.
However, no one noticed that the soldier, who was holding the scroll, bending over and lowering his head, had a look of success in his eyes.
At the same time, he began to chant silently.
At this moment, Gervis was also looking at the scene in front of him. King Lawrence was only five or six meters away from him, Alice and others.
Originally, Gervis didn't notice anything unusual, but when the soldier began to chant silently, he suddenly noticed the violent fluctuation of energy.
"Magician?"
In an instant, Gervis, who relied on his super mental power to perceive the situation, had a flash of thought in his mind.
"Be careful! There's a trick! He's a magician!"
Without thinking, Gervis shouted loudly, grabbed Alice, put her on the unicorn, and galloped away quickly.
The magician didn't expect that Gervis had noticed his intention. He chanted faster and his hands moved quickly. He dropped the scroll and turned away.
"Still want to leave!"
King Lawrence roared, drew his sword and slashed at the magician.
Unfortunately, there was only a loud bang.
The magician had been chanting just now in order to release a powerful shield. Now that he finished chanting, the shield instantly covered his body.
King Lawrence's sword seemed to have hit a block of hard iron, only causing the light on the surface of the magic shield to fluctuate for a moment, and then returned to normal.
“Go to hell!”
All this happened in a flash. After realizing that the shield was intact, the magician put on a ferocious smile and shouted loudly.
As he shouted, the scroll that fell to the ground and no one paid attention to suddenly changed.
The scroll that originally looked like an ordinary piece of animal skin paper suddenly emitted various colors of light, and there were complicated inscriptions flashing on the scroll.
boom!
Before anyone could react, the scroll suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light, followed by an explosion that resounded through heaven and earth.
The area within twenty meters centered on the scroll was completely enveloped in the explosion.
Even Gervis and Alice, who had already run more than 20 meters away, were blown off their horses by the powerful shock wave.
Thanks to "jim" for the reward!!!
