Sickly lady in wheelchair, but God

Things are actually controllable at this point.
Although the parliamentarians have ambitions, they cannot unite together, and none of them can challenge the royal power and the Knights Templar at the same time.
At the beginning of his reign, Guranki successfully stabilized the situation and put the Kingdom of Vistapa back on the fast track of development.
At this time, the Kingdom of Vistapa was thriving, and both nobles and commoners could benefit from it, so there was no reason for anyone to rebel.
But after killing Eldino, his completely twisted heart made him unable to be satisfied with this achievement. He was eager to prove himself by expanding his territory. To this end, he spent most of the resources of the Kingdom of Vistapa on expanding the army and foreign wars.
If the war goes well, then everything will be fine.
But once a failure occurs on the battlefield, or even if the front line is simply unable to advance, this model will inevitably lead to problems for the country.
Not only did Gulanqi fail, but he also persisted for seven years after the failure, which made the nobles and civilians, who were already full of resentment, even more unbearable.
If we don't rebel now, when will we rebel?
Seeing the chaos in the Kingdom of Vistapa, the witches who had been suppressed for many years also jumped out one after another.
The radical witches want to destroy the Kingdom of Vistapa in one fell swoop, while the fundamentalist witches think that the Bronze Book is in the hands of the Kingdom of Vistapa.
As for the monastic orders, academic schools, and magicians, they all have their own thoughts.
The Priory wants to take advantage of the chaos to gain more resources to provide material basis for their occult research, the Academic School hopes to have a stable teaching environment, and the Magisters feel that they have made many contributions to the kingdom, but their status is far inferior to that of the Knights of the Order, so they are dissatisfied.
After the news of Gulanqi and Dany's death spread, all the camps with demands came out to make trouble.
The issues now before everyone are serious.
Now that Gurunchi is dead, who will have the supreme power of the Kingdom of Vistapa?
Gulanqi has descendants. He has four sons and two daughters. The eldest son is fourteen years old this year. He is not old, but not young either.
However, after Gulanqi's rule, most people did not want Gulanqi's descendants to inherit the throne.
Tong Yao looked into the minds of these troublemakers and, as of now, they can be divided into four categories.
The first group of people want to destroy the Kingdom of Vistapa directly, and their main representatives are witches and monastic orders.
The second type of people think that the throne is passed down in turns, and this year it is my turn, and they want to become the new king. The main representatives are some powerful parliamentarians.
The third group of people wanted Gulanqi's brother to succeed to the throne, mainly represented by Xueta's former subordinates and Gulanqi's faction.
The fourth group of people believed that it was time to restore order and welcome back the descendants of the Nefa family. Their main representatives were some parliamentarians, orthodox academicians and old knights.
Among these four groups of people, the most powerful one is the one who wants to welcome back the Nefa family.
However, in this round of open and secret struggles that have just begun, this type of people did not gain the upper hand. This is not because others have united, but mainly because they are divided into more small factions.
Some people thought that the exiled Polamene should be welcomed back to be king.
Some people thought that Polamene was guilty of a heinous crime and it would be better to let his son be king.
Some people also think that neither Polamene nor his son are good people, and it would be better to let the descendants of Queen Melie be king.
Fortunately, Yusofa died without leaving any descendants, otherwise a new faction would have to be formed.
In short, the city of Vistapa is in chaos right now.
Xiludi, who was running around, only brought back the incomplete information she had obtained, which made Alsophila completely confused.
This, this, this...isn't this right?
She even began to wonder if she had made a mistake in killing Gulanqi.
It was Xiludi who stood up to comfort her: "Master, Gulanqi is no longer a normal person. He has offended too many people and he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Even if you don't kill him, the situation will become what it is now sooner or later. If you let him continue to rule, it may be even worse than it is now."
Alsophila nodded.
That's true. At least the Seaport Alliance, the southern city-states, and the barbarians haven't attacked us yet, right?
but……
She scratched her hair.
How to resolve the current situation? Even if she steps out to take charge of the situation, it will definitely not work. Her strength is not strong enough to defeat everyone.
Moreover, just being able to fight is not enough. She knows nothing about politics. If she stands out rashly, she might become a pawn in the hands of others.
Ugh.
Alsophila spinulosa sighed endlessly.
[I wish God could give me a smarter mind. ]
Nursery rhyme: "..."
Xiludi said: "Master, in this situation, it is best for us not to get involved. We should just watch them fight to the death. They will definitely fight to the death. This is an inevitable historical process, just like the battle between the Hero King and the tribal nobles. If we stand out, we may become the target of public criticism."
Alsophila spinulosa remained silent.
Xiludi continued: "Of course, we can't just do nothing. We can find ways to protect civilians and minimize the casualties of civilians in this internal struggle."
【Um. 】
Alsophila nodded.
She was somewhat thankful that what the gods said was absolutely right. If it weren't for Shiludi, her life would have been a mess now. It was Shiludi who prevented her from sinking into doubts about human nature, and it was also Shiludi who told her what to do when she was confused.
She can't be against teaching apprentices just because she taught Dany. If she could teach more disciples like Shiludi, the world would be a better place, right?
Maybe in the future she will be able to train a disciple who can perfectly inherit the sword left by her father.
A lot of power suddenly surged in Alsophila's body.
If you can't find a suitable sword master, it's possible to train one yourself.
In this way, Alsophila and Syludhi hid in the city of Vistapa.
At the beginning, the authorities in Vistapa City said that they would hunt down Sylludi who killed the king, but as time went on, people were no longer interested in hunting down Sylludi. The most urgent task was to fight internally!
In just half a month, many battles broke out in the city of Vistapa.
The first to be kicked out was Guiyi Sect. Although Guiyi Sect had gained considerable prestige among the people after years of development, it was not very popular in the eyes of the nobles and other people in power.
Therefore, when the internal strife just started, everyone worked together to kick the Guiyi Sect out.
The second group to leave were the Knights. Actually, the Knights would not have retreated so quickly at the beginning. However, Broderick stood up at the critical moment. He ignored the injuries caused by Xiludi and wanted to help Guranki's eldest son take the throne.
As the leader of the new knight order, he does have the power and obligation to do so. After all, this knight order was founded to protect the Lucan family.
The reason why he jumped out so quickly was to show that he was a loyal minister and was definitely not a traitor as others said, who had ruined the reputation of his grandfather and father.
Honestly speaking, Broderick was indeed very brave this time, but he came out at the wrong time. Looking at the entire city of Vistapa now, even the old subordinates of Xueta do not support Guranchi's eldest son to succeed to the throne.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, he became a clown again, and many people even hated him because of it.
BYD, if you hadn't used the reputation of the Wallifer family to support Guranki, would this country have become like this?
Broderick was assassinated, and as he was dying, terrible power erupted from his body.
That is the power from the Book of Curse, which will stimulate the dark side of people and exchange for powerful strength.
He used this power to successfully kill the assassin, but he was not happy about this power. Instead, he felt infinite fear.
This is a power that can distort people!
This is a curse caused by greed!
Broderick Wallifer was the first to know that the Wallifer family's ancestral book was cursed. He knew that the curse had fallen on the body of every member of the family.
In the last moments of his life, he no longer wanted to care about the succession to the throne, nor did he want to prove that he was not incompetent. He dragged his broken body, used the pain to keep himself awake, and then stumbled back home.
"Father?!"
The Wallifer children looked at Broderick covered in blood in horror.
He shook his head and said, "My death is inevitable, but you still have a way to go back. Don't touch the book passed down from your ancestors. Throw it away directly, then find a place in the countryside and live a good life."
The children were puzzled: "Father, that is a sacred book passed down from our ancestors, why are you throwing it away?"
Broderick immediately became emotional: "That's not a divine book, it's a cursed book, a book that will bring our Valiver family into an endless curse. The power it bestows on us will plunge us into an endless abyss, from which we will never be able to escape!"
His ferocious look frightened all the children.
Not long after he shouted these words angrily, he died completely.
The whole Wallifer family was shrouded in a cloud of sadness.
Although Broderick has a good reputation outside, he still has a good reputation.
What is even sadder than the sadness is that many people cheered Broderick's death, and then the Wallifer family was driven out of the big house.
Originally, some people proposed to execute the entire Wallifer family. In the end, the elders of the old knights stood up and said that they were descendants of the Knights of the Rock after all. In this way, the Wallifer family was not purged, but was only exiled to the frontier.
On the day she left Vistapa, Sharon Valliver held the Book of the Curse in her arms, followed by her younger brothers and sisters.
Life changed so quickly that she still hasn't fully recovered.
But she knew very well that after the housekeeper and servants had left, as the oldest person in the family, she had to pretend to be strong. If even she was panic-stricken, how could her younger brothers and sisters remain calm?
But now she encountered a problem. On the way to meet up with the soldiers escorting them to the land of exile, someone blocked their way.
It was a girl sitting in a wheelchair with her long hair falling behind her head like a waterfall.
The girl's face was breathtakingly beautiful, but Sharon subconsciously took a few steps back.
In such a chaotic street, a girl this beautiful dares to show up rashly, she must have extraordinary strength!
Tong Yao smiled.
The reason why she paid attention to the Wallifer family was because of the cursed book in their hands. This book was originally a prop she gave to the witch, but after integrating the soul of the thief Erica, the book completely changed its appearance.
She said: "This book will give you power, but more often than not, it will bring you misfortune. If you are willing, I can exchange it with you for another source of power."
Sharon held her brother and sister tightly and asked, "Who are you?"
The nursery rhyme goes: "I am the one who created this book."
The iconic magic of the Wallifer family floated in the palm of her hand.
Sharon's heartbeat slowed down. This was indeed the power that their family possessed, but...
At this moment, she really couldn't trust any stranger. Rather than gaining new power, she wanted to use everything she had now to wash away the shame of her father's surrender to Guranchi and restore the glory of the Valive family.
"Do you want to refuse?" Tong Yao asked back.
Sharon didn't say anything. She was very nervous, afraid that she would die here without accomplishing anything.
Fine.
Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing more to say.
Tong Yao shook her head secretly.
She didn't intend to insist on anything. After all, she stopped Sharon and asked casually simply because she had people of her own in Vistapa City.
"You go."
Tong Yao pushed her wheelchair to make way for the Wallifer family, and she disappeared only after the whole family had completely disappeared from her sight.
In the days that followed, the struggle for the throne among the various factions became increasingly fierce.
It was the radical witches who broke the chaos. When the people in power in the city of Vistapa gathered for a meeting and quarreled, they threw a bunch of magic stones engraved with special magic links into the meeting place.
Boom!
The sudden explosion wiped out a group of people in power, including Xue Ta’s former subordinates and some commanders of the kingdom’s army.
The radical witches originally intended to wipe out all of them at once, so that the Kingdom of Vistapa would be torn apart and no longer able to concentrate its strength to suppress them.
But the ultimate outcome of this explosion was to reduce the conflicts between the various authorities in the city of Vistapa.
Because those who supported the Guranki brothers' succession suffered a severe blow and could no longer influence the political situation, those who supported returning power to the Nefa family unexpectedly won.
There was only one issue that everyone was arguing about:
Which person with the surname Nefa should inherit the throne?
After a struggle, the ambitious people with their own ulterior motives used various means such as winning over each other, and the fragmentation finally turned into a confrontation between two camps.
One side was determined to welcome Polamene back, while the other side chose Koira, the descendant of Meili.
People on both sides shouted with righteous words, but in fact they both had their own ulterior motives.
Poramenes was almost fifty years old. He had lived in exile for many years and was weak and sickly.
Koira is just thirteen years old and is still a sickly girl, easier to control than Polamene.
