"Yeah, I didn't expect that!"
Anna drank passion fruit tea and nudged Chi Sui's arm.
"It is said that he is very talented and works very hard."
Chi Sui paused, feeling a little strange when he thought about the false accusation against Aiyou.
A group of people came to the square in a mighty manner.
The square in the Dwarf Kingdom is quite unique, with an open space in the middle and small houses on both sides.
Prime Minister Turtle explained that those small houses were forging rooms.
Prime Minister Turtle has recently been fond of taking the Ghost Princess out shopping.
This is because they don’t want the ghost princess and Lan Qiao to have too much contact.
The ghost princess didn't know Prime Minister Turtle's intention, she only knew that Prime Minister Turtle called her, so she followed him.
So many times Lan Qiao came to look for someone to play with, but there was no one there.
There are terraces arranged in steps on the square.
Chi Sui and his companions were considered distinguished guests and were seated at the front row.
He took out some melon seeds and snacks, and a large number of dwarf ghosts poured in. Chi Sui was surprised to find that these nobles... were really simple.
He dresses simply and speaks and acts simply.
If he didn't know that they were nobles, Chi Sui would have thought they were common people.
This reminded Chi Sui of the clear-cut class divisions in the human empire.
While he was daydreaming, the Dwarf King appeared.
He placed a sword he had made on the stands, and all the royal members who were taking the test went over to observe it one by one.
Aiyou is among them.
Zhuxu was the first to view the sword, and he looked at it very carefully.
The second one is Rand, he also looks serious.
Lan Qiao did not participate, but huddled next to Arthur Lan, looking a little listless.
Chi Sui was curious and asked Atheran, "Doesn't every member of the royal family have to participate?"
Aslan fed Lan Qiao some tree sap, his expression softening. "This is voluntary. In fact, there are many people in the Dwarf Kingdom who don't like forging."
“There are members like this in the royal family too.”
Chi Sui understood clearly.
Soon, all those who took the test looked at the reference sword.
Then, everyone entered the forging room and started forging.
The forging time is not much, because according to the Dwarf King, the reference sword he gave is not difficult to forge.
The door was closed and people outside couldn't see anything.
It was a bit boring to just sit there, so Chi Sui and a few others started chatting or playing Gobang.
Arthur found Gobang interesting and joined in.
By the time everyone got tired of playing Gobang, the sun had set and the time had finally come.
Chi Sui didn't really care about the subsequent process. After all, she didn't know anything about forging or weapons. She only knew how to listen to the comments of the Dwarf King and his ministers.
The first echelon of relatively strong forces are the nephews, brothers and uncles of the Dwarf King. Given their age and qualifications, they can't be too far behind.
The second echelon has only two people.
They are Crown Prince Zhuxu and Prince Lante.
The sword forged by Lant was highly praised by the courtiers and the Dwarf King.
Zhuxu is slightly inferior in innovation and talent, but fortunately he has solid basic skills and the weapons he makes are very textured and sturdy.
Chi Sui saw that everyone's comments made Lant's usually calm and handsome face show an obvious smile.
Zhuxu scratched his head and said that he would definitely innovate more.
The third tier is the princesses.
Aiyou is the number one among the princesses. I heard that her forging skills and intelligence are not bad, but she is slightly worse than Zhuxu.
Looking at Aiyou's brilliant smile, the Dwarf King rarely showed a clear smile. He couldn't help but praise: "Not inferior to my son."
When she heard the Dwarf King praising her and saw the Dwarf King smiling at her, she immediately grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth.
Chi Sui subconsciously looked at Lan Qiao in Arthuran's arms.
Sure enough, seeing that Lan Qiao's face was not very good, he sighed, peeled a melon seed and stuffed it into Haha Dog's mouth.
Long Xi's fingers trembled as he peeled the melon seeds. He glanced at it lightly and smiled foolishly with his tongue sticking out.
He pushed the pile of peeled melon seeds on the plate in front of Chi Sui. Seeing Chi Sui turning his head and smiling at him, he relaxed his brows and raised the corners of his mouth.
Just as the assessment was about to end perfectly, a skinny but strong old man suddenly spoke.
"Yuer, Zhuxu isn't a kid anymore. It's time for you to keep him by your side and teach him."
"When he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be able to adapt better."
The old man looked stern, but his tone was exceptionally gentle.
The Dwarf King nodded: "I've been thinking about this as well."
The old man's brows relaxed, and he glanced at Arthuran deliberately. Seeing that Arthuran had no intention of stopping him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone present knew what this sentence meant.
Although the Dwarf King had previously said that his and Arthuran's children would not inherit the throne, the ministers saw how he doted on his wife and children and were really afraid that he would lose his mind and do something he shouldn't do.
Now that they heard his words, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuxu was a little flattered. He couldn't hide his joy and grinned. When he turned around, he met Lant's eyes.
Gentle but strange eyes.
Lan Qiao pursed her lips and snuggled into Arthuran's arms.
Lant watched as none of the ministers stood up to object, and watched as his parents looked with satisfaction at the person next to them who was not as good as him.
He clenched his fists tightly, but didn't dare let others notice his thoughts, so he could only give a gentle and generous smile.
How ironic.
Lant lowered his eyes.
All those days of practice and study, all those voices of praise, now seem ironic.
You all acknowledge my talent and hard work, but you refuse to let me be king.
