The hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. The two extraordinary experts, Aubry and Aradeline, stared with their eyes wide open, looking like toads.
"Your Majesty! You're not dead! "
After a while, Aubry rushed over excitedly and knelt down on one knee to pay respects to Victor.
"What are you talking about? I'm already dead."
Victor smiled bitterly. "It's just that Tang En used special means to prolong my life —"
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense."
Twain coughed softly to interrupt Victor's words. Why did he suddenly become so perturbed?
"Then Your Majesty is now …"
"As you can see, a soul."
Only then did the two notice that Victor's body was somewhat transparent.
After being nourished by the Soul Diamond, Victor's soul was now much more substantial. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that he was a soul.
"Leaving a soul in the world … Does Death allow such a thing?"
Aradeline felt that it was unbelievable. Everything in this world followed rules and order. If everyone's soul was left behind casually like Victor, wouldn't it be a mess?
"This …"
Victor glanced at Tang En, who nodded slightly. Then Victor said, "This is because Lord Tang En's identity is special. He is the messenger of the gods."
"The messenger of the gods?"
The two were dumbfounded again. This news was no less shocking than the news of Victor's death.
Tang En briefly explained his identity and mission. Only then did Aubry and Aradeline understand why Tang En's strength was so strange.
Looking at the dispirited Girard beside him, Aubry shook his head secretly. Even Girard, a Ninth Order Supreme, was beaten so badly. What else was there to say?
"… So, in order to save this world, I need the help of the two of you."
"No need to say more. Of course, we won't sit by and do nothing."
After hearing Tang En's mission, Aubry said very seriously, "The invasion of Chaos concerns the entire Prandal. How can we stay out of it?"
"That's right, we will do our best to assist you."
"That's good."
Tang En smiled. "Then the first thing to do is to help me obtain the throne of the Irus Empire."
"Throne?"
Aubry and Aradeline, who had just promised, were dumbfounded again. They looked at Victor next to them in confusion.
"Your Majesty …"
"I'm no longer the king."
Victor nodded. "After serious consideration, this is the best choice. After obtaining the throne, Tang En will be able to obtain more resources and greater power, and he will be able to transform the entire Prandal more quickly."
"But, but," Aradeline said with a bitter face, "although Lord Tang En is the Oracle, he doesn't have the right to inherit …"
The Prandal theocracy and the royal power were independent. If Tang En publicly asked for the right of inheritance as the Oracle, he would only be accused of trying to interfere with the royal power.
"That's not a problem. We already have a countermeasure."
Victor said, "After my death, Girard obtained the natural right of inheritance. Now Girard is also under control. Aurelia gave up the right of inheritance. My uncle Nitro also has no right of inheritance. Therefore, Olina obtained the natural right of inheritance. As long as Olina marries Tang En, Tang En will be the regent in a legitimate way. When the time is right, the throne will be transferred to Tang En."
"Wait, wait! Your Majesty, what did you say? Let the Queen marry Tang En?! "
Aubry and Aradeline were dumbfounded for the fourth time today. Was Victor's brain fried after his death? Who would make a cuckold out of themselves?
Olina and Tang En were both very embarrassed. Especially Tang En, he was so embarrassed that he almost died of cancer.
Aurelia glanced at him, snorted secretly, and pouted without saying anything.
"That's the only way."
Victor sighed and said, "I'm already dead. So even if we don't make any plan, Olina will still be under pressure from all sides. In the end, she will be forced to marry someone. Instead of that, it's better to control things on this basis."
Aurelia said faintly, "After the news of my father's death spread out, my mother hid in Ellington in order to seek shelter. She was depressed during her days in Ellington. At this time, Tang En, the lord of Ellington, took good care of my mother and took the opportunity to win my mother's heart."
After saying that, she spread out her hands and said, "After the news of marriage is announced, it's not a problem to throw out this reason to shut those doubters' mouths."
Hearing Aurelia's words, several people present looked at Tang En and Olina strangely. If they didn't know this plan, even Aubry and Aradeline would believe this reason.
After all, everyone knew that when a woman was sad, it was the best time to take advantage of her.
"Okay, let's use this reason for now."
Victor clapped his hands and said, "This matter is not urgent. The more important thing now is to kill Charles and take over the palace again."
Tang En said casually, "That's not a big deal. Charles can be killed at any time. The important thing is when Fiona's people will arrive and get ready to take over the properties of the Spade Family and the Cardier Family."
Aurelia said, "Fiona has been preparing for this for several days, but she still doesn't have enough people."
Aubry suddenly said, "I can think of a way."
Tang En was startled. Only then did he remember that the Forier Family was somewhat qualified in business. They could use his people temporarily.
"Okay, I'll inform Fiona later and ask her to gather the people on both sides. When we move, Mr. Aubry and Mr. Aradeline's warriors will be responsible for maintaining the order of the capital and controlling the people of the Spade Family and the Cardier Family."
After saying that, Tang En suddenly said to Aubry, "By the way, don't even think about the properties of the two families. I have great use for them."
Aubry said unhappily, "Am I that kind of person?"
"Yes."
"…"
Seeing that Aubry was defeated, Aradeline immediately laughed out loud.
Aubry snorted and said, "Right now, we are facing a great enemy, and we know that the whole world is in danger. Am I that kind of short-sighted person? Of course, Lord Tang En's orders will take precedence. "
"That's for the best."
Tang En said with a smile, "But don't worry. Although you can't touch the wealth, if the Datang Chamber of Commerce has any products, they will consider cooperating with your two families to sell them."
Although wealth was useless in the face of a truly destructive war, before the outbreak of war, wealth was the best catalyst to promote social development and progress. If wealth was used well, the entire Ilrus Empire could be reborn at an extremely fast speed.
Then, the surrounding countries could feel the horror of a currency war.
"When do you plan to act?"
Aubry rubbed his palms together. "My Sword of Condemnation is thirsty for blood."
Aradeline chuckled. "It's time to let them know that my title of Grand Duke of Condemnation isn't baseless."
"You dare to steal my limelight, old thing?! I told you to change your title a long time ago! "
"Bastard! I'm the Grand Duke of Condemnation. My weapon is of course the Sword of Condemnation. You should change your weapon's name quickly! "
"Old thing, do you want to die?!"
"Come, come, come. Whoever loses today is the grandson!"
"Stop messing around!"
Tang En stopped the two of them with a headache. These two fellows would quarrel whenever they talked about titles and weapon names. Speaking of which, they were both Grand Dukes, and it just so happened that their titles and weapon names clashed. Neither of them was happy.
But one thing was certain, and that was that both of them hated the Parliament of Nobles.
There was a reason why Aubry and Aradeline hated the Parliament of Nobles so much.
The reason the Irus Empire was in such a state was inextricably linked to the decadent Parliament of Nobles. In order to protect the privileges of the nobles, the Parliament of Nobles had a great deal of power. They could even interfere with the orders of the royal family. Victor's orders hadn't even been sent out of the capital before they were intercepted by the Parliament of Nobles. How could such a country prosper?
Although they were nobles, Aubry and Aradeline were very rational. They knew very well why the Empire was in such a state. The decadent Parliament of Nobles and the aristocratic system restricted the Empire. If the Empire wanted to rise again, the necessary reforms were inevitable.
But directly revoking the privileges of the nobles would cause dissatisfaction and disgust. Although they didn't want to admit it, the foundation of the Empire still came from the nobles. Before the reforms could be made, Victor's rule would be overthrown by the nobles. Without power, how could there be any reforms?
Give the commoners some power?
Ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel. In an era where the commoners didn't have the right to education, even if they were given power, they would only become crazier vermin.
Therefore, an elite ruling class was necessary.
This was contradictory to Victor's idea.
So Victor had been troubled by this matter.
Then Tang En gave him a perfect answer.
The right to education.
The equal right to education was given to the citizens. The more people who gained cultural knowledge and had self-awareness, the more unstable the privileged class of the nobles would be. When the educational privilege of the nobles was broken, the rulers would be able to select talents from the commoners. The class barrier would be broken by itself, and the Empire would be reborn and enter a healthy process of development again.
Back to the topic, after stopping Aubry and Aradeline, Tang En said, "To avoid any more trouble, I'll go and bring Fiona and those people here later. Sir Aubry, prepare some reliable people. We'll prepare overnight tonight and launch a blitzkrieg tomorrow. We'll solve all the unstable factors as quickly as possible and try to solve all the problems in three days!"
Three days?
Aubry and Aradeline went through all the details of the plan in their minds and nodded. "With your strength, it won't be a problem to solve all the problems in three days!"
"Then," Tang En clapped his hands. "Let's get ready now!"
