The Second Prince of the War-ending Empire was getting married.
The scale of the wedding was huge.
It was also a message to the outside world.
Caesar Zhige would become one of the successors to the throne.
His bride was called Orfiera. Although she was not as noble as the princesses of the Human empires, her bloodline was not inferior to theirs. She was the great-granddaughter of a sage.
How many sages were there in the War-ending Empire?
According to the situation in William's previous life, there were six or seven sages. As for how many were hidden, William did not know.
But just by looking at the sages of the War-ending Empire, he discovered a problem …
The Human empires were too powerful.
They were so powerful that they were overconfident. This was why the professionals of the empires did not care about the Darkness invasion.
It was because any Human empire was so powerful that the three Elven tribes had to unite to resist it. In terms of sages, the three Elven tribes did not have as many sages as a Human empire.
The father of this bride, Orfiera, was a Legendary general. Not only did he have real power, but he also had an army of 800,000 professionals. He was also a peak Legendary expert.
As for her great-grandfather, his name had long been forgotten. Or perhaps, no one dared to say his name.
Everyone called him the Unparalleled Battle Sage.
The title of Saint Conferred was extremely awesome.
But the onlookers could not help but admire him.
This old man was too powerful. He was not only the founding hero of the War-ending Empire, but he was also one of the 12 living sages of the Human race.
It was because of this old man.
The War-ending Empire was able to successfully split from the Sunset Empire.
"When I think of him, I think of Old Hank. Why is there such a big difference between people? Why is it that even your ancestor is dead, but Old Hank is still alive?" William sighed. He did not know when Old Hank would break through to the next realm.
The 12 sages of the Human race at the end of the second era were all powerful experts.
Although they could not compare to the main gods, there were no such people participating in the war. The strongest experts in the Dark World were only sages.
But after so many years, only five of the 12 sages of the Human race were left.
The Unparalleled Battle Sage of the War-ending Empire was one, and the Sunset Emperor of the Sunset Empire was another.
The remaining three were in other continents.
Some of them had died during the Darkness Invasion, while others had suffered irreversible injuries and died during their long lifespans.
As for whether or not someone had faked their death, no one could say for sure.
After all, most of the saints died in battle, and there was not a single saint who died of old age.
"What gift should I give? If it's too good, my heart will ache." William felt a little uncomfortable. He hated attending other people's weddings the most.
Although this also gave him a chance to network.
But he didn't know when he could take it back.
According to his thinking, showing his face was the cheapest and most practical way. However, it was not a situation where he could not give a gift just because he was present.
However, the invitation clearly states what identity I should use. It doesn't mention the words' Elf Prince ', which means that the Blackleaf, Moonlight, and Snow Elves all have their own invitations. I don't need to represent the Blackleaf Elves. I only need to represent the City of Dawn. "
There were pros and cons to this. Caesar did not label him as a Blackleaf Elf. This made it convenient for him to cooperate with the War-ending Empire in military and business.
The cons were that he did not have the label of an Elf Prince.
If he were to fight with a certain power, they wouldn't care if he had the backing of the Blackleaf Elves. They might just kill him.
Because the power of the Human empires was not afraid of the Elves …
As for why Caesar would hold a grand wedding, it meant that he would become one of the heirs.
Princes who did not have the chance to inherit the throne did not have the right to speak, and the empires would not specially publicize their names.
As long as they trained in the palace and did not embarrass themselves, it would be enough.
The heirs of the Human empires were very interesting.
The Human emperors would directly announce who had the chance to inherit the throne, and then let the princes fight for it.
As long as the princes did not harm the interests of the empires and did not kill their brothers, they would not violate the rules.
The emperors would also choose a prince who could inherit the throne based on the votes of the cabinet ministers and their own thoughts.
The princes who were not chosen had to slowly train and become stronger. Only when they were chosen and recognized could they fight for the right to inherit the throne.
However, the later the princes were chosen, the less likely they were to fight for the right to inherit the throne.
The way they fought was to see who had the most power and the strongest backing.
Let's put it this way.
Every fight for the throne represented a reshuffling of the power of the empires.
What the princes had to do now was to take away the authority of the emperor step by step.
How could they take it away?
How could they build new power bases?
How could they control these power bases?
These were the things that the princes who had the right to inherit the throne had to learn.
It was Emperor Zhi Ge who was nurturing the princes' schemes. He wanted them to learn how to control and use power.
Every time the Human empires fought for the throne.
After the new emperor ascended to the throne, there would be a great reshuffle of the powers of the empires.
Although this would result in a loss of power, it would also maintain the vitality of the Human empires.
This was because new powers would definitely rise up and replace those that were lost.
The human empires never lacked experts who could ascend to the throne.
However, the empire was only so big. If the person above them didn't die, then they wouldn't have a chance to ascend.
At this moment, the first prince was the strongest with the most supporters. Because of his status as a Great Archmage, the Magic Temple, the Magic Academy, and even some powerful mages within the empire's borders were his supporters.
The people standing behind Caesar Zhi Ge were not weak either. Among them, there was the Unparalleled Battle-Saint who could not possibly make a move.
This was because saints wouldn't participate in the fight for the throne, nor did they have any interest in doing so.
However, his father-in-law was a general with the title of Marquis. Moreover, Caesar came from the academy, so these two aspects were his supporters.
Originally, the Third Prince also had a chance to compete for the throne.
However, because of this ambitious bootlicker, the Second Prince suddenly gave out a Fruit of Life that not only healed most of Emperor Zhi Ge's injuries, but it also extended his lifespan by many years.
As a result, Great Emperor Zhi Ge had arranged such a marriage for him, allowing him to participate in the battle for the throne.
However, the First Prince and the Third Prince were brothers of the same mother and father.
Seeing this, the Third Prince didn't plan to compete for the throne. He gave all the forces behind him to his elder brother to increase his trump card.
Thus, this seemed like a wedding.
Or rather, it was the first time that the forces behind Caesar Zhi Ge showed their support.
Fortunately, when William sold the Fruit of Life, he had the intention to invest in Caesar Zhi Ge.
Although the eldest prince had inherited the throne in his previous life, he knew that even if Caesar Zhige hadn't had the Fruit of Life in his previous life, he would still have participated in the battle for the throne a few years later and had almost become the new emperor.
Especially since the First Prince had too many forces behind him. Even if William supported him, he wouldn't get much in return.
After all, no one would remember the icing on the cake.
Only by providing timely help would people remember him for a lifetime.
Both Kaiser and Grand Emperor Zhi Ge would never forget the Fruits of Life that he had sold.
The Great Emperor even had a few dozen Favorability Points towards him, which meant that the Human Emperor still remembered him.
More interestingly, the 'Fruit of Life' that William sold had decreased the good impression of the First Prince and the Third Prince.
It could be said that.
Even if William didn't support Caesar Zhi Ge, he had no choice.
That was because if the First Prince were to inherit the throne and gain control of the Empire's power, he might find a way to take revenge on him.
Who the f * ck would be able to withstand that?
"It feels great to support a prince of a Human empire. The investment is huge, but the returns are also huge." William thought for a while and knew what he should give.
"Ten thousand Magical Energy Crystals. This strategic resource should give Caesar a great advantage in certain areas."
"After all, I have mines at home. Even though I don't have many magical stones, I don't lack magical crystals." William thought for a while and asked his men to prepare the magical crystals.
He didn't need to worry about the investment.
If Caesar Zhi Ge couldn't inherit the throne, he would have nothing. Not only would he suffer a huge loss, but the City of Dawn would also be attacked by the Zhi Ge Empire.
But if Caesar Zhi Ge became the Emperor of Zhi Ge.
He would receive ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more benefits.
The only thing he had to do now was to support the Second Prince like everyone else.
The biggest change between this life and his previous life was that Caesar Zhi Ge had married the granddaughter of the Peerless Warrior Sage. This increased William's determination to invest in Caesar.
This also showed that the Emperor of Zhi Ge thought highly of the filial Caesar Zhi Ge. He even got a strong supporter for William.
"Then, I'll go to the Zhi Ge Empire to attend the wedding three days later." William thought for a while and decided to make more preparations.
This was because there might be a direct confrontation with the power behind the First Prince.
Of course, this situation was rare.
After all, it was Caesar Zhi Ge's wedding. Even if there was a confrontation, it wouldn't be too obvious.
Most of the fights would be between the powers behind the two parties.
"But as a Lord of a neutral power, I still need to show some face. I can't go alone." William thought for a while and decided to bring the Blood Moon Witch along.
If it was possible, it would be best to bring the Legendary Gold Dragon, Jie Ge, to show others that the City of Dawn wasn't a pushover.
As for Burned Cinder, Diablo, Violent Dragon, and the others, they didn't have the chance to go with him to the Zhi Ge Empire.
They were only Grandmasters. Only when they became Epic would they have the status and power to participate in the wedding.
"Actually, the most important thing is that if I support Caesar Zhi Ge, I'll have another reason to go to war with the Beast Castle."
"Hmm, I'll find a chance to scam the Beast Castle. They might be selling my magical beasts at a high price because they're supporting the First Prince."
