Versatile Mage: The ancestor of the blood race, the blood demon lord

Chapter 184 The Price of Becoming a King
"...I understand, but right now we have reasons to survive."

Irene must not die. Mu Nujiao is very clear about the situation in Britain.

Although everything seems calm on the surface, the most crucial point is that there is no suitable heir.

The current Queen Anna not only has the task of stabilizing the situation in the UK, but also serves as the president of the European Magic Association.

All the power in Europe is concentrated in the hands of the queen.

However, if there is no suitable heir to inherit all power from Queen Anna.

Then... the power of the royal family, the power of the nobility, the power of the European Magic Association, etc. can all be divided among others.

To put it simply, if something really happened to Queen Anna.

Then, Queen Anna's legacy after her death will lead to the rise of multiple forces.

In the British royal family, Irene is the only hope for the future.

Since the family is not part of the current royal bloodline, adopting a child would not be recognized by the royal family and the nobles.

Irene is just lucky to be a member of the current royal family, otherwise... Irene would not have such a high status.

If something goes wrong with Irene here and there is no suitable heir, the issue of the future successor to the throne will cause chaos in the country.

"I need a reason, a reason for me to give up my dignity as a mage."

William knelt in front of Mu Nujiao. He only needed an answer, an answer that would completely cut off his path of magic.

Abandoning ordinary people to survive is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of future growth for super-class mages like them.

After experiencing this crisis, they will never be able to reach the level of forbidden spells in their lifetime.

A forbidden spell wizard abandoned the ordinary people he was supposed to protect when he was young.

This is a hurdle. If you can't get over it, you will be completely doomed.

"This child is the future heir to the British throne. You should know her identity to some extent."

Mu Nujiao pushed Irene forward and tore off the mask used for disguise, revealing Irene's original face.

This is the most effective method and the one with the highest probability of success.

It was obviously the first time for Irene to face such a situation. She was at a loss and could only be manipulated by Mu Nujiao.

"You are... Lady Irene?"

William recognized Irene, a member of the British royal family who possessed a very good magical talent.

Sensing Irene's magical skills, she is about to become a high-level wizard at the age of less than 20.

She will definitely be a forbidden spell wizard in the future. If everything goes well, Irene will become the future queen of their country!
"Now, do you understand?"

"I understand that this decision is extremely cruel, and it is understandable that you are unwilling to carry it out."

"But... Irene is the future of this country. Her personal safety is more important than anyone else present."

"If something happens to Irene here, the lack of an heir will lead to what consequences. You should be able to guess it."

"Nothing must happen to her. This is the top priority."

"Even if this city and everyone present here die, Irene cannot have any problems."

If there was a space-based forbidden spell mage present who could create a portal to the ground, then everything would be simple.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world. Without the means of contact with the outside world, the rescue team didn't know when to collapse, and the gap between their strength and the enemy was too big.

Each of these situations is a fatal encounter. Once a small mistake occurs, it can easily lead to a complete loss.

"…We are willing to obey your orders, sir."

William sighed and expressed his attitude, and the other super-class mages also expressed their agreement one after another.

The choice of priority is actually very simple, this is the best and most reasonable way.

They are also unwilling to give up the lives of others, but compared with the future of the country, they are so worthless.

"Very good, my idea is simple, evacuate the city as quickly as possible and avoid any conflict with the enemy's army."

"Let's find a place to rest and wait. As long as reinforcements appear on the ground, we can evacuate safely."

"As for the rest of the people in this city, we will tell them detailed intelligence about the enemy. Whether they are preparing to build a defensive position on the ruins of the city or flee in all directions, it will buy us some time."

William looked at Mu Nujiao who gave cruel orders. She was definitely qualified as a commander.

But... I noticed that Mu Nujiao's hand holding Irene was trembling slightly. After all, she was just a child under twenty years old.

Even though I know rationally what kind of order is best to give, my heart still can't accept it so easily.

"I will be the one to convey this matter. Please prepare to evacuate safely. I will arrange everything."

William was ready to die here, so he had to bear the infamy.

"Your noble status will be inherited by your child. I will report this matter to the Queen later. Your child will be rewarded and may even become a noble of a higher level."

The responsibility of announcing this desperate news is enormous.

Once someone gets out alive, the matter will definitely be publicized, and at that time someone must take responsibility.

Mu Nujiao originally thought that she would become the sinner.

But... the old man in front of her was obviously willing to help her take on this big trouble.

"Those things don't matter anymore. I just want to avoid the destruction of our country's hopes."

William said very open-mindedly that he really only cared about the future safety of the country and did not care about such trivial things as subsequent rewards.

"Okay, all of you listen to my instructions. From now on, take this Duke and Lady Irene and flee to other places."

"As for the city, just leave it to me."

"As the protector of this city, I will die in this position to buy time for you."

None of the super-class mages around responded to the old man. They did not have the courage to stay and wait to die.

Under the guidance of Mu Nujiao, Irene looked back at the old man who was heading towards his death. She seemed to understand a little bit what the price of becoming a queen would be.

"I should stay and move forward and backward with this city. This is what a true queen should do."

"…You are right, Irene, but you are not the queen yet. Staying alive is the only thing you have to do."

Just like that, Irene and Mu Nujiao began their escape under the escort of a dozen super-class mages.

The strongest man in this underground city, William, who has fully cultivated four super-level skills, is about to lead other people in the city to delay time for this team.
