Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

Ever since she was chosen by the Dragon Calendar Stone to become a priestess of the Dragon God and became one of the candidates to compete for the title of king of this country, Anna has been very clear about what her greatest value is to this country.

——That’s her business talent.

She wants to be the king! As the king, she will regard the kingdom and the people in the kingdom as her own assets. She has always cherished her wealth, so she will rack her brains to make the country rich and the people strong. She also believes that she, who was chosen by the dragon, has the ability to do so.

To benefit everyone in the country through business means - this is the competitive value of the candidate for the throne named "Anastasia Hexin".

However, she believed that her competitive value was competitive enough in front of those old guys in the Sages' Society, but what about in front of the general public?

When the qualities of all candidates for the throne are displayed in front of the public through a light screen, her advantage will become her biggest disadvantage.

At least Anna didn't think that her idea of enriching the people through business would get the most support from the people. In the case of only one throne, she would probably be the first one to be eliminated by the people.

On the contrary, if every citizen had three votes and was asked to vote among four candidates for the throne, the final result would probably be extremely ridiculous.

Anna and the other two candidates for the throne received two votes from every citizen who supported them, while Emilia received one vote from everyone!

When Anna deduced this result, she wanted to stop immediately and seek alliance with Crusch.

Fortunately, before she actually took action, Conan's words on the light curtain made her feel relieved.

[Except for Emilia, the other three candidates all have their own base. ]

【Basic plate? 】

[That’s right! If this king selection ceremony was the traditional one where the king appoints the crown prince, it would be easy for the crown prince to succeed the throne. However, since the previous king and the royal family died too hastily, so…]

[Wait, wait, wait! Wait a moment! ]

Subaru Natsuki stretched out his hand to interrupt Conan, then touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. [The previous king——how did he die? Did the royal family die together? ! ]

Conan couldn't help rolling his eyes. [You keep saying you want to help Emilia become king, but don't you even know this?]

[There's nothing I can do! Before this, all I was thinking about was how to defeat the Hunter and the Beast Master!]

But in the past few days since you defeated the Intestine Hunter and the Beast Master, I haven't seen you take the initiative to ask.

Conan complained in his heart, he knew that if he said this aloud it would never end, so he went straight to the point.

[The previous king of this country and all the royal family did die a few months ago. ]

Chapter 197 The Origin of the King Selection Ceremony (Contents such as ← can be skipped)

Eleonora Wiltalia: The previous king and the entire royal family died suddenly at the same time—

Lyudmila Laurie: There is undoubtedly something fishy going on!

Wayne Samare Albaster: Rather, the suspicious aura is almost overflowing, okay?

Pinnaglanda: How can all the royal family members die at almost the same time? Magic?! Or that protection?! I really don't understand!

Gate Fantasy World——

As the daughter of Emperor Mod and the third princess of the empire, Pingna was originally very interested in seeing how the kingdoms in the other world chose their kings.

When she first saw that the king of the Kingdom of Lugnica was not chosen by the previous king, nor was he succeeded by the crown prince, she thought that something must have gone terribly wrong with the previous generation's royal family!

The first thing that Pingna thought of was that the emperor had been assassinated and had no heir - from what she could imagine, the current situation in the Kingdom of Lugnica was too peaceful.

The idea of a dragon selecting a qualified priestess to inherit the country also sounds like a fantasy! Rather than believing that there is really a dragon controlling all this, Pingna is more willing to believe that this is just a lie made up by the upper class of the Kingdom of Lugnica.

But in this case, I don't understand why Emilia, a silver-haired half-elf who was disliked by the Kingdom of Lugnica, was nominated as a candidate for the throne.

Pingna looked at the light curtain with doubts. Her puzzlement would certainly be answered in the next performance of the light curtain. But she didn't expect that the reason why a kingdom had to choose a king from an irrelevant person outside the royal family was that all the royal family members died...

This was very educational for her, the princess of the empire. So she widened her eyes even more and stared at the light screen, trying to figure out the whole story.

How did they die?

Subaru's surprised statement made some people outside the light curtain feel uncomfortable.

For citizens of many feudal monarchies, no matter what the moral character of the person at the top is, they still have to respect him verbally.

And Subaru's choice of words seemed to them to be outspoken.

Conan is no less dead. [I heard that he died of a strange disease.]

Conan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, his frivolous attitude even more so than Subaru's.

Just a glimpse of the situation gives us an idea of how difficult it is to make a modern-educated resident keep silent about a long-dead king in another world.

[Died from a strange disease—specifically targeting the royal family, and almost at the same time? 】

Even an ordinary person like Subaru could sense the incongruity at the first moment, not to mention Conan, whose inference that "this is a carefully planned murder" was almost written on his face.

[It would be better to say that the enemy country traveled through time and space to the modern world, got the blood of the Lugnica royal family, and then used chemical methods to develop a genetic virus weapon that worked well. ]

[In this country, more people call it a curse—not the kind that Xia Shi had suffered, but the kind that is more folklore-oriented.]

[So? Since there is no king and no royal family member who can inherit the throne, we have to choose a king from outside? ]

[Half. It is true that the king must be chosen from outside, but the main body of the selection is not the top leaders of this country, but the dragon.]

[Is there really a dragon? ]

Pingna outside the light curtain made the same cry. Conan nodded.

[Yes, the dragon Polukanica, this is a story that everyone in this world knows except us - four hundred years ago, the sage and the first sword master, the dragon, joined forces to seal the witch of jealousy who wanted to destroy the world. The dragon was the one who served as the background in this king selection ceremony, and this country, Lugnica, its most famous name to the outside world is the Dragon Kingdom. ]

[The Dragon Kingdom...was this country founded by the Dragon God? ]

Subaru was no stranger to this matter.

In many games, there are countries founded by dragons or the descendants of dragons. The royal families of these countries often possess divine powers like dragons, or they can call on dragons for help when they are in danger, which is very powerful.

Varian: It's also good as a decoration.

Veldora: Are there really dragons from another world who would build a country? How much free time do they have?

Priest Midore: Yes! Lord Veldora! Although we, the Dragon Clan, have not established a country, we are indeed recognized as a national-level force in the international community.

Veldora: Hmm? Who is it? You guys? Don't try to get close to me so easily~

Priest Midore: I am the chief priest of Demon Lord Milim, and also the leader of the Dragon Clan!

Veldora: Oh, so you are my niece's subordinates! So, you really established a country?

Priest Midore: That's right...

The question and answer session outside the light curtain was heated, but Conan inside the light curtain gave the opposite answer.

[No, this country is just the Pro-Dragon Kingdom, not the Divine Dragon Kingdom. ]

Conan glanced at Xia Shi and said: [The founding king of Lugnica did receive help from the dragon, and this incident made the entire country believe in the dragon. ]

[In fact, unlike our country where gods are just a tool for religion to make money, this Lord Shenlong will respond to any request of the people who believe in him.]

Kotori spoke up.

[He brings down rain during droughts, disperses dark clouds during snowstorms and floods, and mediates in wars. Rather than calling him a god, you can say he is a doting mother~]

[Is there such a good thing?! ]

[That's a good thing~. In short, this country protected by the dragon has good weather and the people are extremely happy. 】

[Then this country is invincible? Why hasn't it unified the world yet? ]

[Because the Witch of Jealousy was sealed by the Sage, the Sword Saint, and the Dragon, that is to say, even the Dragon is not omnipotent in this world. In fact, in order to limit the war potential of Lugnica, all the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Lugnica formed a military alliance and agreed that if the Kingdom of Lugnica launched a military action, all countries would jointly sanction the Kingdom of Lugnica. ]

【Then the Kingdom of Lugnica never launched any military operations against other countries.】

Conan spread his hands out to both sides.

[So, if all the countries surrounding this country move out at the same time, they will not be able to win even with the help of the dragon? ]

[The situation is even worse, because the Sword Saint among the three heroes also has a legacy in this country. In response to that Sword Saint, other countries also forced the Kingdom of Lugnica to sign a treaty that "the Sword Saint is absolutely not allowed to be deployed unless necessary" ~]

[It's such a mess~]

[Perhaps this is the special international politics in the magical world view~]

Conan sighed. If these settings were just for fun in the novel, he could still enjoy them with peace of mind.

[By the way, as part of the magical world view, there are also young but powerful, charming and extraordinary young noble girls that are unique to this type of unrealistic works. ]

【Really? ! 】

Upon hearing this, Subaru's first reaction was excitement!

How could a shut-in like him resist the temptation of the setting of reincarnation in another world coming into reality?

The reason why he did not show much interest after actually arriving in this strange world where magic and demi-humans existed was simply because the pressure of survival overwhelmed his fantasies.

And now at least he doesn't have to worry about survival, and all the thoughts that had been suppressed in the past naturally exploded all at once!

A beautiful girl with great power, and on top of that, she's also a noble - that sounds exciting, doesn't it? !

Felix Argyle: This guy!! How dare he have such wild thoughts about Master Crusch——Because I only dare to do this in my dreams!

Crusch Karsten: Felice, you...

[If you want to be happy, it's too early. ]

Conan smiled. [Because that powerful, beautiful, and noble young noblewoman is also a candidate for the throne, and is Emilia's rival~]
