Chapter 224 Banquet
"enough!"

The bell-like majestic voice resounded in the arena, and everyone in the square looked over.

The king stood up from his chair and gazed at the severed shield in the arena.

He saw Suo Da stand up slowly and raised his long sword.

And Lauren stood on the ground in a daze. If the king hadn't stopped him in time, the third prince would have died by his brother's sword today.

The king looked around and cleared his throat. Fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Then Lauren, you lost." The king looked at Lauren and said.

Lauren could only nod silently, the anger in his heart split into two with the shield, under Suo Da's huge force, his legs couldn't help but go weak.

Lord, have you not cared for me?
Lauren couldn't help asking himself, and raised his head to look at the burning brazier in the Temple of War God.

Could it be that Suo Da was really chosen by the God of War?And I... just heard the oracle by chance?

Suo Da faced the king, raised his arms and shouted, "My father, give me the status of crown prince. After you, I will create a hundred generations of glory!"

The voice of the second prince was so loud that all the warriors stood up and cheered for the winner.

The king stood in front of the throne, and he winked at the elders around him, who immediately nodded secretly.

Immediately afterwards, the nodding elders stood up from their seats and said loudly, "My lord, this duel is against our tradition!"

The king immediately looked serious, pointed at Suo Da and asked, "What? Didn't you see my son Suo Da show his strength to the God of War?"

"That still can't become a king." The elder with a long white beard shook his robe. He is an old man of the Griffin clan. The testimony of the gods can begin."

On the arena, Suo Da had a sneer on his face. He frantically scratched his hair, and Luo Lun trembled vigilantly, but he didn't know what Suo Da was thinking.

Another elder also stood up at this time and said: "In the tradition of Leiden, only the king's death or weakness due to injury can cause a duel for the throne by his blood. crowned by a great victory over the enemy. But now, our king is so strong and healthy that this duel for the throne must not be counted!"

The square suddenly became bustling, and people checked each other's memories from their own and each other's memories, and soon found out from the songs compiled by the poet that this was indeed their tradition.

"My Suo Da has just fought a glorious battle, but you are so harsh on him?!"

The king showed his anger and hammered the throne hard,

"Okay, go back and argue as much as you like, but now, I'm going to give Suo Da the glory of the winner."

The king's words are very accurate.

When Suo Da's mother heard this, she turned her face to face the king, showing a disdainful smile.

The king naturally noticed, but did not respond.

In the square, people began to shout the names and titles of the winners, and the voice of "Dragon Slayer Suo Da" was heard in the square for a long time.

At the dinner after the sacrifice, the king got drunk and talked about Suo Da's bravery with his ministers, and praised his second son's achievements in killing the screaming dragon.

It's not that the king doesn't love his second son, but this love is inevitably implicated in the feud with the cold wolf clan, especially Suo Da, who has gotten closer to his mother's clan over the years, and has shown great respect for the Griffin clan. Indifference and even vague hatred.

Therefore, the king kept worrying that if Suo Da inherited his throne, his third son Luo Lun and his clan would suffer unprecedented revenge from the Cold Wolf clan, and even be expelled from the kingdom and reduced to slavery.

That was a terrible result.

And for another part of the reason, the king took a fancy to the third son, Lauren, because of Lauren's prudence.

In the eyes of the king, if the Leidun Kingdom, which only inherited two kings, wants to survive for a long time, it cannot be achieved by one person's bravery or long-term conquest.

Over the years, the people in the south have built more and more castles, and the pace of looting is unsustainable. The clans in the kingdom are still estranged from each other, and duels happen every now and then. However, the Radon butcher is still eyeing them
As the days passed, the king, who had once fought a bear with his bare hands, felt powerless.

"However, Suo Da's temperament is too violent," said the king and the elder beside him. "I heard him sacrifice the flag of the Garda warriors on the warship several times."

"That's right, king, many people's children died on Suo Da's boat for no reason. Even if many people persuaded Suo Da to take the slave sacrifice flag, this still didn't satisfy him." The slightly drunk elder ate a piece of barbecue meat, Said with a sigh.

The king was silent for a while, and after a while, he sat up straight and ordered the attendants beside him: "Give the sword hanging in my bedroom to Suo Da later, and the headband I wore when I was a prince. , and say that these are his reward of victory."

The attendant nodded. He felt that the king's order was ambiguous, as if he had secretly affirmed Suo Da's throne, but also seemed to be delaying time and killing Suo Da's desire.

Then, the king found an old man from the same clan, got up and said: "You go to Lauren, and you must not tell others what you will say next."

The old man nodded slightly, he was the king's trusted confidant.

"A king must not be stumbled by a setback."

The king caresses the beard on his cheek,
"Compared to the dragon's blood for a while, you can prove that you have the ability to rule the Kingdom of Leidun in a long time. At that time, you will have my crown and throne. You will bring justice to all the clans in the kingdom."

The cronies heard everything in their ears, and he repeated it in a low voice in the king's ear, and then the king nodded to indicate that there was nothing wrong with what he repeated.

So the confidant walked out of the longhouse and left the dinner party full of laughter and laughter.

Seeing the back of his confidant disappear into the torches at night, the king heaved a sigh of relief. He opened his palms and immersed himself in the happy atmosphere without any worries.

If it weren't for Suo Da's constant coveting of the throne, the king really wanted to sing for his son at the dinner like a father.

The king took the ox horn cup from the attendant, walked among the crowd, faced the punching Suo Da, and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to my son, the second prince of the kingdom, Suo Da, I am proud of him, because he will win The honor is shared with me!"

As the king's voice fell, everyone at the dinner party shouted, praising the majesty of the king and the bravery of Suo Da.

At the long table of the Cold Wolf Clan, Suo Da's mother stared at her husband like a poisonous snake without saying a word. After a while, she raised her wine glass and smiled playfully.

In the sea of ​​thousands of pillars of clouds, God stared at the whole dinner, clearly seeing where the undercurrent was going.

This woman of the cold wolf clan, shaking the wine glass, is about to drag the entire kingdom into the vortex of civil war.
