After the full level, my soft rice system is long overdue

Chapter 37 Let the world witness the majesty of the Lord! 5k

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, there is a spacious and unique mansion located in the rolling hills.

This mansion is called Hailan Mansion, which belongs to the imperial family and is often used to entertain distinguished guests and hold large-scale banquets and dances.

Shire had been here before, but as the Deputy Tower Master of the Black Tower, he was naturally a guest invited by the imperial family.

It is indeed quite a novel experience to come here disguised as a waiter at this moment.

"It's not long since you joined, so let's take charge of the surrounding security..."

The leader of the believers was in high spirits, directing many believers to make preparations.

As new members, Charles and Seele didn't have any operational experience, so he arranged them on the periphery without any specific tasks.

……

And at this moment, in the inner hall of Hailan Mansion, a different kind of dance is also going on.

The participants were all powerful and influential figures in the imperial capital, so they were naturally familiar with this kind of ball.

No matter how much he wished to swallow the life in front of him alive in his heart, he showed a friendly and smiling appearance.

Outside the crowd, Isabella Fresberg, who was the third imperial daughter of the empire, seemed out of place.

She was leaning against the table, silently watching the evening sky outside the window. Under the cover of the dark dress, her delicate body showed a lazy curve.

The happy crowd passed by her, and she was in the same ballroom, but seemed to be separated by a whole world.

"I thought that after a lot of experience in the mainland, Her Royal Highness would smooth out some edges and corners, but I didn't expect her to remain the same, still as proud as before..."

"Yes, the Alan Empire is ultimately an empire shared by the nobles and the royal family, not an empire owned by the emperor alone."

"His Royal Highness, she is too sharp, unwilling to compromise, unwilling to tolerate, and unwilling to exchange benefits with us-with her character, she cannot become a qualified monarch who can control the lifeline of the empire."

……

The whispering voices of many nobles reached the ears of the host of the ball—Prince Andrew Fresberg, who nodded in satisfaction.

His elder brother, the current king of the Alan Empire, is quite old now, and he has been on the sickbed for a long time, ignoring the government affairs.

Because of this, it is absolutely impossible to say that Prince Andrew himself has no ambitions for the throne.

Of course, as a prince, if he really went to fight for the throne in person, it would be a little disgraceful, and it would inevitably be discussed by outsiders.

However, it is a feasible option to support a puppet to ascend the throne, while he himself monopolizes the power behind the scenes...

Originally, Isabella, who was the most outstanding among the princes and daughters, should have been his best choice.

However, when Prince Andrew sent his subordinates to make several temptations and were rejected by the other party without hesitation, Prince Andrew also understood that with Isabella's pride, the other party would never be willing to become a puppet and be controlled by him in the past.

And if more time is added, after Isabella's wings gradually mature, those nobles who were still hesitant will probably choose their positions again.

It is even possible that those real power factions who originally stayed out of the matter and watched the changes may end in person, leading the situation in the imperial capital to a new situation.

From this point of view, although the second prince's candidate for the puppet king is much worse than Isabella's, this matter does not allow him to hesitate any longer.

Thinking of this, Prince Andrew made a gesture behind his back.

The next moment, several soldiers in black armor came out behind him.

"The third imperial daughter of the empire—Isabella Fresberg."

"A number of nobles have reported that you conspired with the abyss plane and used secret medicine to assassinate His Majesty in order to seek the throne. Please follow us to the Royal Tribunal."

There was an uproar in the Hailan mansion.

Anyone finds such a reason ridiculous.

Isabella is the undisputed candidate for the throne of this generation, so how could she go to such lengths to link up with the abyss plane, let alone use secret medicine to assassinate her father.

This is just a poor excuse, or a declaration of war.

But after a moment of uproar, many nobles chose to remain silent.

Then, surrounded by bodyguards and guards, they retreated towards the back of the mansion.

They will be invited by the prince to participate in this ball, and they are naturally people who tend to be in the camp of Prince Andrew.

At this moment, those great nobles who really had the strength to wait and see what happened and did not stand in line in advance were not present.

The strength comparison in the Hailan Mansion is completely one-sided, and Prince Andrew has the absolute upper hand.

Nobles have always believed in the principle of the supremacy of interests.

For them, even if they really prefer Isabella in their hearts, they will choose to be wise and safe at this moment.

Everything about tonight, no matter which party it is, already knows it well.

This is a game about the throne, power and interests, the kind of unscrupulous.

……

Several guards in black armor spread out and surrounded Isabella.

The next moment, pale silver sword light pierced the air.

The several soldiers showed incredulous expressions on their faces, clutching their necks and fell to the ground exhausted.

As Prince Andrew's guards, they have not only been carefully selected, but also invested countless resources, and each of them is a sixth-level transcendent.

Unexpectedly, in front of Isabella, she couldn't even survive a move.

Isabella took back the sterling silver long sword in her hand.

"Don't bother to make up that clumsy excuse, and don't need to send these cannon fodder to try."

"The Alan Empire has been able to stand on the mainland for thousands of years, and it has never relied on intrigue or conspiracy. Every inch of this country's territory has been fought with knives and swords."

"If you really think you can take away what belongs to me, then come and try."

A cold voice echoed in the mansion.

Holding the long sword in her hand, Isabella glanced coldly at the people in the Hailan mansion, with both murderous intent and anticipation.

The magical power belonging to the quasi-legendary burst out in an instant, overwhelming the entire Hailan mansion.

"The signs of the curse in your body were really fake!"

On the other side, Prince Andrew also stood up.

As the third imperial daughter of the empire, Isabella never exchanged benefits with noble ministers, so she was weak in the imperial capital.

But even so, she was still regarded as the biggest competitor by Prince Andrew, relying on Isabella's own strength.

In his early 20s, he had already reached the pinnacle of quasi-legendary.

If it weren't for the fact that there was an even more monster ahead, Shire who was promoted to a legendary mage before the age of 20, then Isabella's light would only be far more dazzling than it is now.

However, if it was in the past, then Prince Andrew would still be quite afraid of it.

After all, there are no direct legends in the empire, and the only few quasi-legends, such as the Duke of Brunstadt, are also very deep in the city and never stand aside.

Prince Andrew himself is only at the seventh level, and has no means to compete with Isabella.

But—after contacting that mysterious sect and receiving the blessing from the Lord, Prince Andrew has his own confidence.

……

boom--

A layer of gray mist suddenly enveloped Prince Andrew's body.

And his aura also improved step by step under the backdrop of the mist, and soon reached a level comparable to Isabella's.

"Quasi-Legendary Minor Accomplishment... Quasi-Legendary Great Accomplishment... Perfect Quasi-Legendary... Quasi-Legendary Peak... Quasi-Legendary Peak Nine Turns Great Perfection...Half-step Legendary!"

Seele, who was watching the battle, stared at Prince Andrew whose aura was rising step by step, with a shocked tone.

Charles was surprised: "So there are so many files in Quasi-Legend?"

Xi'er nodded: "Yes, after all, there are very few legends, and there are a lot of quasi-legendary powerhouses in the Western Continent who can't break through that barrier in their entire lives."

"It seems that in order to distinguish the quasi-legends like myself who have been stuck for tens of hundreds of years from those who are new to the quasi-legends, so many small levels are manually divided."

Even if she is the dragon of the night, as long as she is an adult, she can step into the legend.

But the growth period of a pure-blooded giant dragon is too long, and before it truly becomes an adult, it also needs to go through the small ranks in this quasi-legendary.

While talking, Xier suddenly felt a little familiarity.

This feeling of chatting while eating melons and watching a movie, why is it somewhat similar?

Before she could react, she saw Ciel nodded: "I see, I remember that I was promoted to legend after sleeping."

"I've never been stuck at the quasi-legendary level. This is indeed a blind spot in my knowledge."

The girl's movements stiffened.

She recalled the source of this sense of familiarity—wasn't it the freshman named Edmond Dantès during the entrance examination of the Extraordinary Academy?

I remember that at that time, I thought that the other party was a colleague who copied the questions like me, so I only got a few points in the written test.

He even said something like "Otherwise, it is impossible for any candidate with normal intelligence to only take such a small score."

Thinking about it later, it is naturally impossible for His Majesty Shire to copy the questions. Most of them came to conduct field teaching and research, as people said.

At that time, wasn't he just scolding Shire for being mentally abnormal?

Then I thought of the description that when my sister and I mentioned Shire, he was so preoccupied, he would be held accountable, and he would not let go of even a gold coin.

Scared so much that Xier quickly took on the task of being an undercover religious order, just to avoid Charles.

Unexpectedly, the two still met here.

A blank smile appeared on Xier's face: "Legendary? Are you talking about..."

Now she can only hope that Ciel didn't see through her disguise at that time, and couldn't recognize that Empic was the same person as herself.

Then, she felt Charles reaching out to her: "Stop pretending, your sister has already told me about you."

Done!

I'm going to get a beating!

Xi'er tightly closed her eyes, but the expected beating did not come.

She secretly opened one eye, only to see a big warm hand resting on top of her head, stroking her hair.

Huh?It seems that His Majesty Shire is not as fussy as his sister said, he is so fussy...

……

Charles was quite helpless.

She didn't know that Augustia had instilled some waste into her sister, making herself look like she was bullying underage children.

He withdrew his attention and looked back at the battlefield in Hailan Mansion——

In the mansion, explosions sounded one after another, and the glow of magic collision kept flickering.

After receiving the protection of the gray mist, Prince Andrew's own strength is already comparable to Isabella.

Coupled with the few mercenaries and guests he hired with a lot of money, as well as the magic circle set up in the mansion in advance, at this moment, the gray magic power representing Prince Andrew has the absolute upper hand.

However, even though it has been completely suppressed, there are many bloody mouths on the pitch-black military uniform, and their lives may be in danger at any time.

There was no trace of fear in Isabella's beautiful purple eyes.

On the contrary, it is the strong excitement and anticipation.

What she longed for was just such a desperate situation.

Only in this way can we cross the threshold of legend that makes countless people struggle for life.

Such a similar situation made her recall ten years ago, when she walked side by side with Shire and several partners as adventurers on the continent.

Face countless powerful monsters, explore the deepest and mysterious mysteries, and meet all kinds of people and different races.

Even though he was faced with crises every day, and even fell into the danger of life and death more than once, he was incomparably fulfilled and satisfied.

That was the day Isabella missed the most in her life, even today, it is also the most precious memory in her heart.

Swah——

The silver-white sword light cut out.

The magic power, which was already on the verge of its limit and was a little slack, was actually further compressed at this moment.
