She left using some kind of spatial magic.
The ancient sorcerers were still passing down their legacy. Was this mysterious organization a friend or a foe? Philox had no idea. There were too many mysterious organizations hidden in this world. He could not help but think of a white-haired woman he met some time ago. She was ridiculously strong, and the water magic she used was invincible. However, he had never heard of such a person.
Philox's heart was in a mess. He could not think calmly and sort out these things because there were more troubles waiting for him. The most important thing was whether Leir was really like what Long Xing said.
Under the sky, there were towering buildings. The intact new city had become a refuge for the survivors. In the tallest building, there was the headquarters of the reformists. Because the old palace was destroyed beyond recognition, it had become a temporary palace. The coronation ceremony of the new king, Xiang Long, would be held here. He seemed to be very anxious about the succession of the throne. Before settling the survivors, he was already in a hurry to start the coronation ceremony.
On this day, all the dignitaries of the Dragon Boat Empire rushed from all over to participate in this hasty coronation ceremony. They also knew the reason why the second prince was in a hurry to inherit the throne. They also knew that this would be a huge power transition. During the reign of the old king, although the reformists seemed to be strong, in fact, the ones who held the most power were still the traditionalist ministers around the king. However, most of them were killed in the attack of the demons. Coupled with the abdication of the old king, the traditionalist faction's power was bound to decline.
Because the second prince, Xiang Long, was biased towards the reformists, the reformists were very happy to see him take over the throne.
The coronation ceremony was very grand. The dignitaries wore woven sandals, simple white clothes, and a green headdress on their heads. This was the ceremonial dress passed down from the Dragon Boat Empire to this day. They believed that this was the purest and purest dress. Their clothes seemed simple, but in fact, they were very particular. All of them were handmade and did not have any magic.
However, such a group of people wearing simple clothes stood on the shiny floor and in the hall with all kinds of extravagant decorations. They looked very out of place.
This was perhaps the most special succession ceremony.
The prince of the Soaring Dragon Empire walked out of the gate excitedly. He was wearing a beast skin cloak and his upper body was bare. Everyone could see that his body was full of scars and his muscular body was full of scars. People's impression of princes was that they were white, tender, and handsome. However, in reality, the princes of the Dragon Boat Empire had received extremely strict training since they were young. They were much more outstanding than their peers. After all, if they fell behind, they would be killed by their brothers and sisters.
He was alone. The ministers stood on both sides of the room. The closer to the aisle, the higher their status. The closer to the edge, the lower their status. However, those who could stand here, even the guards and eunuchs, held high positions.
The old king sat on his temporary throne. The throne had been cut in half, but fortunately, there were still many spare thrones.
His leg and shoulder were injured, so he wore a loose royal robe to cover his wounds. According to tradition, the king would stand up and recite an oath to the successor. The oath was very long, but due to the old king's health, this task fell on the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor was a traditionalist, but he had died in the attack. Now, the representative of the Reformists, Graham Reagan, who was born in the Gotham Kingdom, was in charge of the ceremony.
He stood beside the old king. The old king leaned against the throne as if he was nailed to it. His face was pale, but he was still able to endure such a serious injury. It was quite impressive.
After Graham Regan said a long series of oaths, the handover ceremony began. Music rang out in the hall. The king took off his crown and handed it to Graham. Then, he stood up and prepared to leave with the support of the eunuchs.
He would enjoy his old age in the palace. The outside world would not know anything about him and he would be isolated from the world.
However, just as Graham was about to place the crown on the Second Prince's head, a sudden commotion outside attracted everyone's attention.
"Wait!"
Everyone turned to look at the door. The Adventurers Guild's president, Layle Phoenix, and a group of people appeared in front of everyone. The seventh hero, Klaus, the hero, White, and a few ministers from the neighboring countries were among them.
"Lady Layle! Why did you barge into the sacred ceremony of the Dragon Boat Empire? "
Graham shouted. Flying Dragon Valiant's face turned black. What he was worried about the most had happened.
Layle and the others walked in front of them. The surrounding guards all stepped forward to stop them.
She looked at Flying Dragon and said, "Lord Flying Dragon, you have violated the Hero Act. You are trying to break the Hero's authority. Please come with us."
Everyone was shocked by the guild leader's straightforward words. They all knew that the Brave could not become King. This was a rule that had been in place for thousands of years. It was an ironclad rule set by the various royal families to prevent the Brave from gaining too much power.
Flying Dragon slowly stood up and turned to everyone.
The other party came prepared. The seventh hero, Klaus, was very dangerous. Moreover, he had an affair with the president of the Adventurers Guild! There was also that damned White, the princess of the Luas Empire and the hero of the Dragon Boat Empire. She had no right to inherit the throne. Regardless of whether there was a hero law or not, she wouldn't be able to inherit the throne like Xiang Long. Therefore, she would definitely try her best to stop him.
He gritted his teeth. It was very disadvantageous for him to fight two people by himself. However! But this was his territory.
The Second Prince's expression softened. He then smiled in disdain and said, "The Dragon Boat Empire does not recognize this law. Moreover, you have no right to interfere with our country's affairs."
Lady Phoenix's expression didn't change. Her attitude was still firm as she said, "No. Regarding this matter, all the humans in the world have the right to stop it. Your Excellency Flying Dragon, our Union and many empires have already reached an agreement. We don't recognize your identity. If you insist on inheriting the throne, then we can only regretfully inform you that we will strictly follow the Hero Law and strip you of your royal authority and identity."
"I am not afraid of your threats, Phoenix."
Flying Dragon's words were filled with killing intent. The two Heroes could already feel it.
At this moment, White stood up. She was very tall, even taller than Layle.
"As a member of the royal family, I will give you a piece of advice. Don't do such a stupid thing. Interfering with the royal power will only cause you and your empire to decline. However, I have a method. According to our Luas Empire's research, the power of the Hero can be taken away by external forces. If you really want to inherit the throne, I will gladly turn you into an ordinary person. "
She said with ill intentions.
She was probably going to abolish the Second Prince. When the ministers heard this, they could not remain calm. How could this be! Without the Hero, the influence of the Dragon Boat Empire would be severely affected.
"Come, choose. The Hero or the King. You choose."
White said coldly.
