Chapter 1900
”Lorenzo, what are you doing standing still? Waiting for me to take a picture of you? Find the treasure map quickly!”
Nate Rhys, who looked aggrieved, vented all his inner dissatisfaction on Lorenzo.
“Immediately.”
Lorenzo did not dare to hesitate, and immediately walked to an alloy door, took out Ji Yuanzun’s severed hand, and gently pressed it against the sensing position in the middle area.
”Bit!”
Just heard a soft sound.
The heavy alloy door slowly opened inside, revealing a vault made of metal.
The vault is about one hundred square meters, with a large number of gold bricks stacked in the middle, taller than a person.
In addition to the gold bricks, there are also various rare treasures densely placed around it, each of which is worth thousands of gold.
”This is Ji Yuanzun’s personal vault. Everything he likes will be stored here.” Lorenzo explained.
”There are so many treasures!”
Thorian Rhys looked around and sighed: “If this is shipped out, it can probably buy a city.”
“These are nothing, compared with the three treasure houses of Dragon Protection Pavilion Compared to this, the treasure in front of you is just a drop in the bucket.” Lorenzo explained.
”Real or false?”
Thorian Rhys was surprised and delighted: “According to what you said, wouldn’t the treasures of the Dragon Protection Pavilion be piled up like a mountain?”
“Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, the accumulation of treasures in the Dragon Protection Pavilion for decades , to describe it as piling up a mountain is not an exaggeration at all.” Lorenzo said seriously.
”Okay, okay…very good! I can’t wait to collect the treasures of the Dragon Protection Pavilion!” Thorian Rhys was in high spirits and extremely excited.
”After all that, where is the treasure map?” Nate Rhys urged impatiently.
”It’s right here.”
Lorenzo walked to the innermost shelf, took down a delicate sandalwood box from it, and then handed it to Dustin carefully.
Dustin opened it and found three pieces of parchment inside.
Each piece of parchment has a detailed map drawn on it. In the center of the map, a golden mark marks the location of the treasure house.
If there is nothing wrong with the treasure map, then as long as you follow the route, you will find the treasure house quickly.
”Your Highness, I have to remind you that every treasure house will be guarded by experts from the Dragon Protection Pavilion. Without the personal presence of the Pavilion Master, they will never be able to open the treasure house.” Lorenzo added.
”The Dragon Guard Pavilion has been destroyed. A few warriors can’t make any big waves.” Dustin didn’t care.
”Your Highness, my mission has been completed. Can you allow me to see my family one last time?” Lorenzo asked with a pleading look on his face.
”I’ll give you three days to say your final goodbyes to your family. After three days, I’ll give you a head on your neck.” Dustin said with an indifferent expression.
”Thank you, Your Highness!”
Lorenzo cried with joy. With a “boom”, he knelt down and Bow down and rubbing head on the ground to Dustin three times.
Three days were enough for him to settle his funeral arrangements.
On the premise of keeping his family safe, he can still fulfill his last wish.
For him, this is undoubtedly a great gift.
”Albert, take him out and give him the last bit of dignity.” Dustin ordered.
”Yes.”
Albert nodded, loosened the shackles on Lorenzo, and led him out of the secret room.
”He was originally a loyal person from West Lucozia, but I never thought that he would be a traitor.” Thorian Rhys shook his head.
”Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. If he does what he thinks is right, he will have to bear the corresponding consequences.” Dustin said calmly.
From Lorenzo’s point of view, there is nothing wrong with whatever he does to protect his family.
But from his standpoint, traitorous behavior like this could never be forgiven.
Chapter 1901
”Yes! One wrong step, one wrong step after another, Lorenzo’s actions are destined to not end well. Without thinking about someone, there is still a chance to make meritorious deeds.”
Thorian Rhys said, and looked meaningfully Eyes Nate Rhys.
If it weren’t for the person in front of him being his third uncle, if it wasn’t for his father’s kindness and unwillingness to kill each other, if it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t cause too much damage.
With the other party’s rebellion, even ten deaths would not be enough!
”Ahem…”
After being glanced at by Thorian Rhys, Nate Rhys changed the topic with a guilty conscience: “Logan, these three treasure houses are of amazing value and are closely related. How do you plan to deal with them?”
“Of course if they are all brought back to West Lucozia, is it possible that they are still left to those miscellaneous fish?” Thorian Rhys rolled his eyes.
”We cannot monopolize these three treasure houses.”
Dustin shook his head and said, “It was not we alone that destroyed the Dragon Protection Pavilion. We also invited foreign aid this time. Any benefits will naturally be shared equally by everyone.”
”Divided equally? Logan, are you kidding?”
Nate Rhys was stunned and became excited: “You just heard what Lorenzo said. The treasure trove of Dragon Protection Pavilion is accumulated over decades. It is as rich as any country. , you actually want to share such a huge opportunity with others, what on earth do you think?”
This time, he accomplished a remarkable feat in wiping out the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and he might be rewarded separately afterwards.
In other words, the more treasures the Prince of West Lucozia gets, the more benefits he will get, and he is naturally unwilling to give them to others.
”Treasures are good, but they also have to be moral. People come all the way to help us. If we just take the treasures alone, wouldn’t we become ungrateful people?” Dustin said calmly.
”That’s what I say, but there’s no need to share it equally with them, right? Just give me some benefits.” Nate Rhys said.
”I have made up my mind. If Third Uncle is dissatisfied, you can complain to Rufus Rhys and see what he will do.” Dustin said expressionlessly.
”You…” Nate Rhys’s expression froze.
He has never seen such a stupid person, who is willing to give away the wealth he has obtained.
”Third uncle, don’t judge others by yourself. My brother’s heart is not comparable to that of ordinary people.” Old God Thorian Rhys said calmly.
Although it was a pity, he supported his eldest brother unconditionally.
”Go up.”
Dustin was too lazy to talk nonsense. After closing the wooden box, he led Thorian Rhys and others out.
In his eyes, gold, silver and jewelry are just external possessions. If you cheat even your friends, the road will only become narrower in the future.
After returning to the surface, Dustin took out two treasure maps, handed one to Adam Spanner and the other to Margaret.
”Old Dustin, what do you mean?”
Adam Spanner looked at the treasure map in his hand, feeling a little confused.
”There are three treasure houses in the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and each treasure house corresponds to a treasure map. There are exactly three of us, and each of us has a treasure house.” Dustin explained.
”I’ll go! Aren’t you too kind?” Adam Spanner’s eyes brightened.
”If you hadn’t helped me this time, the Hulong Pavilion wouldn’t have been so smooth,” Dustin said.
”Hehe… OK, since your kindness is hard to refuse, I will accept it.” Adam Spanner was not polite and directly pocketed the treasure map.
”It’s useless for me to ask for this thing. You can keep it yourself.”
Margaret glanced at the treasure map and stuffed it into Dustin’s arms.
”Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving this treasure map to you, but to the officials. From now on, we in West Lucozia will need more care from the officials.”
Dustin smiled and pushed the treasure map into Margaret’s hand.
”This…”
Hearing this, Margaret found it hard to refuse.
”Your Highness, this is Buddy Dustin’s wish, so don’t be polite. We will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future.” Adam Spanner advised from the side.
”Okay, then I will thank you on behalf of my father.” Margaret nodded and finally accepted it.
After sharing the treasure map, Dustin Rhys arranged for people to reorganize the base of Dragon Protection Pavilion.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, its location is hidden, it occupies the right time and place, and it is also located on the border between the two countries.
It would be a good idea to turn this place into a military fortress.
If there is a conflict with Western countries in the future, this place will become a key point. Sending troops from here will definitely achieve unexpected results.
Although it won't be used for the time being, it's always good to prepare in advance.
After settling the relevant matters, Dustin Rhys took the people back to West Lucozia Palace.
This time Dustin Rhys returned with a great victory and solved the hidden dangers in West Lucozia. As the king of West Lucozia,Prince Rhys specially held a banquet in the mansion and invited many guests.
All those who have contributed to this incident are on the invitation list.
For a time, it was very lively inside and outside the palace.
For everyone, it was great news thatPrince Rhys was not dead, and annihilating the remnants of Hulong Pavilion was even more joyous, so it was certainly worth celebrating.
At night, the palace was full of guests.
Most of the well-known people in West Lucozia were invited.
All the generals, high-ranking officials, including giants from all over the world, all gathered in the palace, drinking and chatting happily.
"Everyone, as a younger generation, I would like to say a few words first."
At the banquet, Thorin Rhys stood up first, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "This time the palace is in crisis, you will never leave, and solve the problems for the palace. I'm very grateful. Come on, let me toast you all first."
After saying that, Thorin Rhys raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Young prince, you're welcome. As ministers of West Lucozia, we should live and die with the palace. What we do is just within our duties and does not count." Pingyang Hou Zhang Ao smiled slightly.
"That's right! We have followed the prince for many years and have always shared blessings and hardships. This time when the prince's palace is in trouble, we naturally have to help and work hard to die!" Xuanping Hou Zhou Bo responded with a toast.
Although he values interests, he also values love. This time the palace suppressed the rebellion, destroyed the Dragon Guard Pavilion, and regained power, he was very happy.
"Hahaha... OK!"
Thorin Rhys laughed loudly: "With all of you loyal people, why worry about West Lucozia not being happy? Come on, everyone, cheers!"
Thorin Rhys poured another glass of wine , saluted all around, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Do it!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
The prince survived the catastrophe, and His Royal Highness returned to West Lucozia. In the future, West Lucozia will only become more and more prosperous.
"Everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words."
At this time,Prince Rhys slowly stood up and said with a smile: "First of all, the palace can escape this time only because of your loyalty and courage, and risking your life for each other. , I am very honored to be able to work with you."
"It is our honor to serve the prince."
"Yes! Without the prince, we would not have the good life we have today. Our glory and wealth are all Given by the prince."
"No matter what happens, we will swear to be loyal to the prince!"
All the generals and local officials agreed.
"Okay, okay, I understand everyone's thoughts."
Prince Rhys nodded with a smile, and then added: "In addition to thanking you, I also have something to announce, so I plan to elect a successor in advance and give up the throne. Get out."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Chapter 1903
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Although many people know thatPrince Rhys is not in good health, in their opinion, he should be able to survive for a few more years.
Now that internal and external troubles have just been resolved,Prince Rhys is about to give way, which inevitably makes people a little off guard.
"Your Majesty, isn't this too hasty?" Li Yishuang advised next to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are in good health and live a long life. Why did you give up the throne so early?" Zhang Ao was very upright.
Although the rest of the people were confused, no one dared to speak.
If you try to persuadePrince Rhys, you may offend the future new prince, so at this time, smart people will choose to wait and see what happens.
"I know very well about my body that I won't be able to live for long. Taking advantage of everyone's presence now, arranging the funeral arrangements in advance can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."Prince Rhys smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty..."
Li Yishuang was about to say something, but was interrupted Ronald Reeds raising his hand: "Okay, I have made up my mind, no need to persuade anymore."
Prince Rhys faced the crowd again and said with a serious expression: " Everyone, the new king is very important. It will affect the future rise and fall of West Lucozia. I can't make the decision alone, so I want to ask everyone here who you think is the most qualified to be the future king of West Lucozia. ?"
"This..."
Hearing this, everyone became even more uneasy.
Judging from this posture,Prince Rhys is going to hold an internal vote.
Whoever has more supporters will have the opportunity to become the future King of West Lucozia.
The question now is, should we chooseLogan Rhys? Or choose Thorin Rhys?
In terms of talent and ability,Logan Rhys is obviously better.
But judging from the family background and the power behind it, Thorin Rhys has a unique advantage.
On the one hand, Thorin Rhys has performed very well in the military in recent years, and the future is promising.
On the other hand, it was because of Thorin Rhys’s mother, Li Yishuang.
As the eldest princess of the Dragonmarsh, Li Yishuang has great influence in both West Lucozia and Stonia.
The affiliated forces behind it are even more astonishing.
Taking all aspects into consideration, it is obvious that Thorin Rhys has a greater chance of becoming the new king.
After all, compared to personal ability, having many supporters is the most important factor in becoming the new king.
"Your Highness, I personally feel that His Highness the Second Highness is the most suitable as the new king." A Black Dragon Army general suddenly stood up.
"Second General!"
The second Black Dragon Army general stood up and said loudly: "We have all seen His Highness's performance in the army over the years. His outstanding performance is far superior to that of us veterans. I believe , West Lucozia will definitely not go wrong if it is handed over to His Highness the Second Highness!"
"That's right! We support His Highness the Second Highness to be king!"
At this moment, many people began to agree.
On the one hand, this is because Thorin Rhys himself is excellent, and on the other hand, it is also because of the influence of Li Yishuang, the eldest princess.
"Where are the others?"
Prince Rhys did not express his position and looked around.
"Your Highness, I have a different opinion."
At this time, Huaiyin Hou Wenwen said: "Although His Highness the Second Highness is excellent, he is still a little less polished than His Highness, so I think His Highness is more suitable to be the king. "
Chapter 1904
Meek’s speech attracted many people’s attention.
Smart people can see that Thorin Rhys obviously has more supporters, and choosing Thorin Rhys is the wisest choice.
As the think tank of West Lucozia, how could Meek, known as Xiao Zhuge, go against the grain and supportLogan Rhys?
Something is really abnormal.
"Marquis Huaiyin, these words are wrong."
At this time, Zhou Bo began to retort: "His Royal Highness's martial arts talent, looking at the entire West Lucozia, is indeed unmatched by anyone, but the position of the prince is not just who can fight. As the second highness, the second highness is both civil and military, has many supporters, and has been sharpened in the military for several years. He is excellent in all aspects. If the second highness becomes the king, West Lucozia will definitely be more glorious!" Thorin Rhys is the emperor's nephew, and even more so
. His future son-in-law, the two parties also made an engagement.
No matter what, he supports Thorin Rhys unconditionally.
Because as long as Thorin Rhys comes to power, his daughter will be the future princess.
His identity has naturally increased with the tide.
"I agree with Hou Xuanping's views."
A Black Dragon Army general said: "I admit that His Highness is excellent, but after all, His Highness has been away from West Lucozia for many years and does not know much about the affairs of West Lucozia. His Highness is different. Growing up in West Lucozia, I know everything about personal connections and military and internal affairs, so it is the most suitable choice for His Highness to be the king." "Yes, that's right! Your Highness Li
Liangshi Year, it is difficult to convince the public, I support His Highness as the king!"
At this moment, some military generals began to choose sides.
No matter how goodLogan Rhys is, he has been away for too long and has become very unfamiliar to them.
But Thorin Rhys is different. Although it was not reliable in the past, it has performed extremely well in recent years, and they know the basics.
With Thorin Rhys's character, once he becomes king, he will definitely not harm their interests.
In the final analysis, for them, the throne is just a choice that weighs the pros and cons.
"His Highness is a great hero with great talent and great strategy. His future achievements will definitely be no less than that of the prince. I believe that most of you here know this. I still choose to support His Highness." Wen Shun spoke again.
He supportedLogan Rhys, on the one hand, to repay the kindness of the Qin Princess, and on the other hand, he sincerely felt that the other party was the most perfect King of West Lucozia.
Compared toPrince Rhys, who was the best in the world back then, it was even worse.
"I support His Highness the Second Highness!" Zhou Bo said loudly.
"I also support His Highness the Second Highness!" the Black Dragon Army Commander followed.
"We all support His Highness!" Dozens of prominent figures began to agree.
Judging from the situation, the support ratio between Dustin Rhys and Thorin Rhys was exactly 1 to 9.
"Adam Spanner, what do you think?"
Prince Rhys still did not express his position, but looked at Adam Spanner who was eating and drinking.
Adam Spanner's 200,000 White Tiger Army had already returned to their base, but he was busy making sneak attacks and planned to spend a few days at the West Lucozia Prince's Mansion.
Now thatPrince Rhys was asked like this in public, he was a little confused.
I was having a good meal, and you keep doing this. What do you mean?
Seeing everyone's eyes glancing at him, Adam Spanner wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am just an outsider. It is not my turn to talk about the internal affairs of West Lucozia."
Chapter 1905
"It doesn't matter. Today is a family banquet. Those who can appear here are all our own people. You don't have to be restrained to say what you want."Prince Rhys smiled.
"Since the prince asked, I won't refuse."
Adam Spanner stood up slowly and clasped his fists around: "My words only represent my personal opinions. If I offend you in any way, please don't take offense."
"You're welcome, God of War. You are the pillar of the country, and your vision and knowledge must be extraordinary." "
Yes, God of War, who do you support? Tell us."
Everyone was talking, looking very curious.
Needless to say, Adam Spanner's importance was as the military god of the Dragonmarsh and the future heir of the royal Zhao family.
His influence is so huge that he is among the best in the whole field.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth."
Adam Spanner cleared his throat and said solemnly: "If we consider comprehensive abilities and put talents first, I thinkLogan Rhys is more suitable to be the King of West Lucozia.
Indeed,Logan Rhys has many shortcomings. First, he has been away from West Lucozia for too long and does not understand the situation in West Lucozia. Second, he has no foundation and it is difficult to convince the public. However, everyone must understand
that when the prince started from scratch, wasn't this the case? He was criticized by all parties. All the forces are not optimistic about it, but what is the final result? With his outstanding personal ability, the prince opened up territory for West Lucozia and became powerful in all directions, and then he achieved his current status and glory.
Logan Rhys doesn't say anything else, but in terms of personal ability , no weaker than the prince back then, let alone in West Lucozia, even if you look at the entire Dragonmarsh, you can't pick anyone else.
I believe that as long asLogan Rhys is given some time, he will be able to be a good king of West Lucozia and lead You guys take it to the next level.
This is my opinion. If you have any other opinions, you can speak freely. I'm done. "
After saying that, Adam Spanner sat down with a smile and began to eat and drink by himself again.
But his words caused quite a stir at the scene and also changed some people's views.
Many people have followedPrince Rhys for many years. Veterans, they all know the history ofPrince Rhys's fortune. They
have to admit thatLogan Rhys is the person most likePrince Rhys. He is
gifted, capable of both literary and military skills. After years of hard work outside, he has lost his sharpness and become more mature and restrained.
Putting aside various factors,Logan Rhys is indeed more suitable to be the king than Thorin Rhys.
However, the throne is closely related and affects the interests of many people, so they have to make a careful choice.
"Third brother, do you think Logan and Thorian, which one of them is more suitable? "
After asking Adam Spanner,Prince Rhys looked Nate Rhys who was aside.
"Brother, I am just a criminal, how can I comment on the heir to the throne? "Nate Rhys shook his head repeatedly.
Although he had atone for his sins, his previous actions still made many people dissatisfied.
Even when he was having a meal, many people stared at him eagerly, wanting to cut him into pieces.
It's obviously not a smart choice to be in the limelight at this time.
"We are all a family. Let's chat casually without any burden. "Prince Rhys said with a smile.
Nate Rhys hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Spiritually, I support Thorian, but if I were really asked to choose, I would choose Ze Logan. "
Chapter 1906
Nate Rhys’s words attracted many people’s attention.
As Zeng Jin's hussar general, although Nate Rhys's character was highly controversial, his ability was not questioned by anyone.
After all, the opponent's position today was achieved through bloody battles.
If even a courageous and visionary person likeNate Rhys feels thatLogan Rhys is the most suitable to be the king, then they have to re-evaluate.
Before, they felt that Logan Rhys was alone, so they supported Thorin Rhys even more.
But now, it seems that is not the case.
First, there was support from the military god Adam Spanner, and then there was support from the hussar general Nate Rhys. The weight of these two people was enough to make many people change their decisions.
"Third brother, please tell me carefully, why did you choose Logan? "Prince Rhys asked with a smile.
"The reason why I chose Logan is similar to that of Marshal Zhao. I value a person's talent and ability more."
Nate Rhys said seriously: "This time we are wiping out the remnants of Hulong Pavilion. I believe everyone sees it. It's all about Logan." He strategized and used strategies to kill the cunning Ji Yuanzun, and at the same time plundered all the treasures in the Dragon Protection Pavilion. This was a great achievement. To sum up,
Chang Ge was brave and resourceful, and was the best candidate to inherit the throne. As for Thorian, being a general is more than enough, but being a king is still a bit short."
As soon as Prince Rhys said this, before Prince Rhys could reply, Zhou Bo stood up excitedly and angrily: "Nonsense! This time we will destroy the guardians. The remnants of Dragon Pavilion are not the fault of His Highness alone. His Highness has also made great contributions. Without the help of His Highness, how could it have been so smooth? In terms of talent and ability, His Highness is by no means inferior to His Highness, and he is also younger and has more potential! "
There's no need to be so anxious, Marquis Xuanping. I'm just talking casually. It's purely a family opinion and I can't make the final decision. The real decision-making power is in the hands of my eldest brother."Nate Rhys said calmly.
He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing that Prince Rhys's intention was obviously to favour Logan Rhys, he followed the other party's intention and expressed his support.
To put it bluntly, they are just suggestions. As for who should be the king, it all depends on Prince Rhys's preference.
"You can't speak clearly like this, and it's easy for people to misunderstand. I have to correct the flaws in your words." Zhou Bo said coldly.
A traitor actually dares to talk so shamelessly here, he really doesn't know the importance of it.
"I already know all your suggestions."
Prince Rhys spoke again, interrupting everyone's discussion: "Among you, some support Logan and some support Thorian. This is enough to show that my two sons are very important. Excellent, but there is only one throne, so I can only choose one of them."
As he said that, Prince Rhys's eyes suddenly glanced at Dustin Rhys and Thorin Rhys: "Logan, Thorian, do you think you have the ability to be the king? "
Dad, I'm not very talented and I can't be the king, so you should pass the throne to your eldest brother." Thorin Rhys said directly.
As long as his eldest brother was around, he never thought about becoming a king.
For him, the throne is not as important as his relatives.
However, his heartfelt words made all the supporters present anxious.
Especially the faces of Zhou Bo and others changed drastically.
Are you kidding me?
They fought so hard just now just to get Thorin Rhys to the throne.
Now that he is about to get the throne, the other party chooses to give up on his own initiative. Isn't there something wrong with his brain?
"Logan, what do you think?" Prince Rhys asked again.
"I have no interest in the throne. I came back this time just to destroy the Dragon Protection Pavilion. Now that the Dragon Protection Pavilion has been destroyed, I have nothing to miss. I will leave in a few days. Therefore, Thorian will be the heir apparent. It's appropriate." Dustin Rhys said calmly.
Chapter 1907
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately confused.
You looked at me and I looked at you. We looked at each other for a moment, not knowing why.
what's the situation?
How noble is the position of King of West Lucozia? That is the supreme power that countless people dream of but cannot achieve.
According to the previous examples of throne replacement, normally speaking, the two brothers Logan Rhys and Thorin Rhys should fight to the death.
Why is it completely the other way around now?
Not only did the two not fight, they also gave up on their own initiative, as if they didn't take the throne seriously at all.
Throughout the ages, nothing like this has ever happened.
At this moment, both Logan Rhys's supporters and Thorin Rhys's supporters froze.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know how to speak.
We were all arguing here, but you two brothers just refused.
Do you think this is a joke?
"Brother, didn't we agree at the beginning? You will be the king and I will be the general to assist you. Why has it changed now?" Thorin Rhys was a little dissatisfied.
"Who told you? I didn't promise you."
Dustin Rhys said calmly: "I am used to being lazy and don't like to be restrained. The throne is a burden to me. Besides, your supporters are better than mine. "More, you are the most suitable to be the king."
"It's not suitable!"
Thorin Rhys said angrily: "I have a few pounds, and I know very well that I am not the material to be a king at all, but you are different. You are better than me in every aspect and are the perfect successor. Only you have the ability to inherit the legacy our father has built."
"Thorian, don't belittle yourself. You are no worse than me. In time, you will become a great weapon. It is the wisest choice to pass it on to you." Dustin Rhys replied.
"I don't care! Anyway, you have to be the King of West Lucozia!"Dustin Tian slapped the table in domineering rage.
"It's not sweet to be strong. I don't have any lofty ambitions, nor the noble sentiments of self-sacrifice for others, nor the consciousness of being a king. Therefore, I will not inherit the throne." Dustin Rhys shook his head again.
He has no ambition to dominate the world, and he is not willing to dedicate his life to the country and the people like Prince Rhys.
He just wants to live his own life, follow his own path, be unrestrained and live a free and unrestrained life.
"Brother! If you don't want me, then I won't be the king either. Let's just let us have no successor!" Thorin Rhys had a broken expression.
The people around were shocked and speechless. Why did it sound to them that this throne was neither glory nor wealth nor supreme power, but more like a hot potato that no one wanted to take?
"Two losers who don't know their importance, if you don't want them, you can give them to me!"
Nate Rhys's eyes twitched, and he roared unwillingly in his heart.
He worked hard and risked all his wealth and life, but he still failed to get the throne. Now in the eyes of Logan Rhys and Thorin Rhys, it seems worthless, and no one is willing to take it.
For a moment, he felt like a clown.
What he did before was a complete joke.
Chapter 1908
Although Nate Rhys was not angry, he did not dare to speak at the moment.
Although the two brothers rejected each other and neither one wanted to be the king, this throne could only be created by one of them.
He knew this very well and did not dare to think anything wrong.
Otherwise, Ji Yuanzun will be his fate.
"Okay, okay! You two bastards, how can you inherit the throne like a prison sentence? Is it so hard to accept?!" The
attitude of his two sons madePrince Rhys very angry, and he couldn't help but curse.
You don't want it, and neither do I. It makes his throne seem worthless.
In front of so many dignitaries, he was really embarrassed.
"I'm really not interested, you might as well pass it on to Thorian." Dustin Rhys shrugged.
"I can't afford it. This throne belongs to you, my eldest brother!" Thorin Rhys said firmly.
"Shut up, both of you!"
Prince Rhys slammed the table and shouted in a deep voice: "I have the final say on this matter, and I won't tolerate your willfulness! Also, if I hadn't been in poor health, you would still have to hold the throne again. Wait a few more years!"
SeeingPrince Rhys getting angry, Thorin Rhys didn't say anything more, but his stubborn expression already showed his answer.
As for Dustin Rhys, he still looked calm and calm.
Prince Rhys took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. He forced out a smile and said to everyone: "You guys are just kidding because I am not talented. We will discuss the throne later. Let's eat and drink well tonight. Let's have a good time. "
Come on, come on, let's all drink!" Zhang Ao smiled and smoothed things over.
He doesn't have any position, it's purely based on the prince's choice. No matter the choice, I support it 100%.
Soon, the previously deserted atmosphere began to become lively again.
But compared to the previous acquaintance, the people present have been divided into three camps.
Led by Huaiyin Hou Wen Shun, some people supported Logan Rhys.
Led by Xuanping Hou Zhou Bo, others supported Thorin Rhys.
The remaining people, headed by Pingyang Hou Zhang Ao, are in the neutral camp and are conservative.
They do not participate in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne. No matter who comes to power in the end, they will regard him as the master.
Although there are no benefits to this choice, there is no need to bear any risks.
After the celebration banquet, everyone went home.
Dustin Rhys, on the other hand, was called to the study by Prince Rhys.
After ten years apart, father and son could finally have a peaceful chat.
Two cups of sobering tea were served on the table, and Prince Rhys took the lead in opening the topic: "Chang Ge, now that you have avenged your great revenge and fulfilled your long-cherished wish, isn't it time to go home?" "Am I not back yet
? "Dustin Rhys was holding the sobering tea and blowing on it gently.
"You understand what I mean. I mean settling down for a long time, not staying for a few days and then leaving." Prince Rhys said.
"I still have something to do."
Dustin Rhys said without hesitation: "I promised Margaret that after wiping out the Dragon Guard Pavilion, I would help her find the dragon's source of Qi. Now that the matter is over, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. ."
"I can find someone to do it for me. You don't need to go there yourself." Prince Rhys advised.
Chapter 1909
"Your people can't help me, and this is what I promised, so I can't break my promise." Dustin Rhys took a sip of tea.
With a treasure like the Sky Eyeball in hand, he has a much higher success rate in searching for the dragon's source of Qi.
Anyone else would undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Okay, I'll let you go find the Dragon Source Qi. The question is, what happens after you find it?"Prince Rhys asked again.
"Let's talk about it after we find it. I haven't thought about it that much yet." Dustin Rhys shook his head slightly.
"If you don't think about it, I will think about it for you!"
Prince Rhys said with a serious face: "After you fulfill your promise, you will come back to inherit the throne honestly. I will take care of everything for you and ensure that you have no worries." "
I said, I don't want to be the king." Dustin Rhys refused.
"You are my son. If you don't become king, who will? Is it really possible for Thorian to take on this important task?" Prince Rhys said angrily.
"Thorian can be both civilized and martial, so why not?" Dustin Rhys retorted.
"Thorian is indeed excellent, but he can only be a general, not the king of West Lucozia!"
Prince Rhys said solemnly: "Although we are powerful in West Lucozia, we have constant internal and external troubles. Once I pass away, The forces from all sides are bound to be violent. At that time, there will be wolves in front and tigers behind. How can Thorian resist? Let him inherit the throne, which will harm him!" "How can you be sure that I can stop you?"
Dustin Rhys asked.
"You have a hard life and great luck. Looking at the whole world, no one is more suitable than you. It's not just me who thinks so. The man from Stonia also thinks the same. As long as you become the King of West Lucozia, you will be able to be stable." If there is any trouble in West Lucozia in the future, you can shoulder this heavy burden!" Prince Rhys said in a sonorous tone.
"After talking for a long time, I'm just your pawn to stabilize the situation?" Dustin Rhys frowned slightly.
"Chang Ge, everyone's destiny is different, and you, from the day you were born, are destined to be extraordinary."
Prince Rhys said with a complex expression: "You can do many things and save many people. Every move you make, including one decision, determines the life and death of countless people. I am not asking you to sacrifice yourself for others. I just hope that you will stop escaping." , accept your identity calmly, it is really not easy for West Lucozia to be what it is today. This is the hard work of your mother and I for many years. If possible, I hope you can inherit our legacy." "If my mother is still alive,
she You shouldn't force me to do something I don't like." Dustin Rhys said calmly.
"You..."
Prince Rhys opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.
In the end, all his words turned into a long sigh.
At this moment, he seemed to have been drained of Qi, and his whole body became haggard.
"You're right. I was too impatient. I shouldn't have forced you."
Prince Rhys forced a smile and said sadly: "I always thought that you were the perfect heir who could take charge of West Lucozia for me. To lead theDustin family to glory and let the people of West Lucozia live and work in peace and contentment, I considered the overall situation, but ignored your feelings.
In fact, when I thought about it, as long as you are safe and happy every day, that is enough.
Whether you are a king or not is not important at all. It's not important.
It was my fault. I shouldn't have imposed my will on you.
So, I will support your decision, no matter what you do. I just hope that if you have time, you can go home often. Take a look."
After hearing this, Dustin Rhys was speechless for a moment.
Looking at his father's gray temples and old face, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
For the first time, he doubted whether his decision was the right one.
He was born in West Lucozia, and has enjoyed prosperity, wealth, and all kinds of extraordinary treatment since he was a child.
Now, is it time to take some responsibility?
Chapter 1910
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest early."
Prince Rhys waved his hand, looking very tired.
He chose his eldest son to inherit the throne. On the one hand, he was interested in the other person's ability. On the other hand, he also felt guilty and wanted to make better amends.
It's a pity that his son doesn't have any ambitions, and he never wants to be a person who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, he did not want to push too much.
He is already dying, and now he only hopes that his sons can be safe and happy.
Don't think about the rest anymore.
Dustin Rhys opened his mouth, but in the end he stood up and left without saying anything.
He doesn't have the consciousness to be a king, at least not yet.
In the eyes of others, the King of West Lucozia represents supreme power, endless glory and wealth, and the majesty of being on top of the world.
But in his opinion, the position of King of West Lucozia was too heavy.
Once you sit on it, there are too many things to carry.
At that time, he would no longer be thinking about himself, but the entire West Lucozia, and even the whole world.
He is just an ordinary person and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.
This time, let him be selfish for once.
Dustin Rhys spent the next few days in the palace.
There are still many trivial matters to be dealt with in the aftermath of this counter-insurgency, including the annihilation of the Dragon Guard Pavilion.
Prince Rhys was in poor health, so Dustin Rhys took care of his father's duties, which was considered as fulfilling his filial duty.
The first wasNate Rhys’s arrangement. Dustin Rhys gave the other party two choices.
First, hand over military power, stay in West Lucozia, and be an idle nobleman, walking the dog and playing with the birds every day, riding horses and shooting arrows, and enjoying a wealthy life.
But the premise is that there cannot be any affiliated forces, and the escort team in hand cannot exceed a hundred people.
Second, leave West Lucozia, take a fortune, and develop elsewhere. No matter what the final result is, it will be entirely your own responsibility, and the palace will never interfere.
The meaning of these two choices is very simple, either spend your life idle or go out for adventure.
Based on the fact thNate Rhys was his third uncle and that he had contributed to the annihilation of Hulong Pavilion this time, Dustin Rhys gave the other party such an opportunity.
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons,Nate Rhys chose the second path and went out for adventure.
According toNate Rhys, instead of living in a muddle through life, it is better to go out and have a try.
Maybe one day, I can make a comeback and establish my own power.
He is a very ambitious person and does not want to be inferior to others all his life.
Even if I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
His destiny must be in his own hands.
Dustin Rhys respectedNate Rhys's choice, gaveNate Rhys a sum of money, and personally sent him away from West Lucozia.
From then on, there was no intersection between the two sides.
After settlingNate Rhys's matter, Dustin Rhys went to the dungeon again and met Nangong Po and the four northern princes in person.
Prince Rhys was kind and promised these people not to take their lives, and Dustin Rhys did not break his promise.
But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.
Whether it is Nangong Po or the four northern princes, they have already committed the crime of rebellion, and they have openly raised armies. The impact is extremely bad, and naturally they cannot be leniently spared.
Otherwise, everyone will imitate it in the future, and the whole West Lucozia will be in chaos.
Therefore, Dustin Rhys convicted the five people of confiscating their homes.
First of all, the five people were removed from their official positions, and all the wealth accumulated by the five people over the years was confiscated. Moreover, no one with an interest in the five people could be spared, and all the property of the five people was confiscated.
In order to appease the people, all the money seized from the homes of the five people was eventually used to build the local area and return money to the people.
Finally, in addition to having their homes raided, each of the four northern princes will also be imprisoned for twenty years.
As for Nangong Po, he is sentenced to life imprisonment and can only stay in prison for the rest of his life.
