Chapter 473 A Darker Dawn (Please Vote for Me!)
City of Silver, Star and Moon Tower.
"Victor Illlus is dead!?"
Just as Jean regained his attention from the Arcane Eye, he suddenly heard such shocking news.
"Absurd! This is impossible!"
Gene subconsciously thought this was a bad joke and frowned slightly: "Victor is wearing legendary magic equipment that our Silver City built for him!"
"But it's true, his son, Gilad, is going to be crowned today, and..."
Austen paused, his expression very ugly: "Girard announced that Clark rebelled against the cult and assassinated Victor. Clark is already dead."
"Clark rebelled!? Assassinate Victor!?"
Gene's face changed greatly: "This is impossible! Clark is an arcane master who I personally trained. How could he, who is obsessed with arcane magic, betray the cult!?"
"No one knows the truth, but both Victor and Clark are dead."
Ao Si's face darkened: "You can adjust the monitoring range of the Arcane Eye. Alex is now holding Gilad's coronation ceremony."
Jean opened his mouth, his face darkened, and he said calmly: "No, the Arcane Eyes must continue to monitor the movements of Chaos. I will go there myself."
After saying that, violent arcane energy surged around Jean, and the next moment he crossed thousands of miles of space and appeared directly in Yalinks.
Today's Yalinks is different from the past. This vibrant royal capital is immersed in sorrow at the moment, and Gilad's voice echoes in the sky above the royal capital.
"...Father's death cannot be a reason for us to stop moving forward. In fact, it is precisely because of father's death that I understand one thing more."
"The minions of the cultists have penetrated deeply around us. We must be sufficiently vigilant against the threat of the cultists. The madness of the Chaos Cult is a well-known fact. I declare that from the moment I am crowned, the Illrus Empire Officially declare war on the Chaos Cult!"
"The Ilrus Empire is a glorious and great empire. We once unified the entire world. Even if other kingdoms split from the Ilrus Empire, they cannot erase the glory of the past. And I, the new king of Ilrus , facing the scepter under the Pope’s crown, swear an oath to dedicate loyalty and even life to the great god, and at the same time, let the entire Illrus Empire get the glory it deserves.”
In the sky above Alexis, a grand ceremony was held between the thrones. The kingdom's ministers lined up on both sides. Some careful people noticed that Oberry and Adrian, two generals who were very valued by Victor, did not appear. Among them, on the contrary, the Kadir family and the Spade family, who had rarely appeared in the throne room, appeared together.
The smile on the face of Patriarch Charles is clearly visible.
"I didn't see Aubrey and Adrian. They are obviously supporters of His Royal Highness. Why didn't they show up?"
"It's no longer His Royal Highness, but His Majesty Gilad. I'm afraid they received some secret order, so they went to clean up the cultists."
"But why did the Kadir family and the Spade family show up so calmly?"
Others are very puzzled. Aubrey and Adrian, who supported Gilad, refused to attend the coronation ceremony of the new king. Princess Alleria gave up her inheritance rights. The feud between the Kadir family and the Spade family and the royal family is already public. The secret now appears in the throne room...
The story here is very thought-provoking.
In the throne room, Pope Jesolini XXIII has held up the crown that represents the kingship of the world, and Prince Gilad kneels in front of him to show the king's awe for the supreme divine power.
"Your Highness, are you willing to obey God's will, accept God's baptism, and listen to God's revelation?"
"I do."
A beam of holy light poured down from the Pope's hand, fell on the head of Prince Gilad, and flowed down his skin.
Nothing unusual...
The Pope frowned slightly, then breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became gentler and more natural.
"Your Highness, are you willing to lead the children of the gods forward under the inspiration of God, so that they can be fed, clothed, and live a happy life?"
"I do."
"Your Highness, can you ensure that your heart remains unchanged and that you will devoutly maintain due respect for God, and at the same time, ensure that the power of the royal power is not abused?"
"I can."
"Then, I declare, Gilad Illrus, you are the new king of the Illrus Empire."
The crown held in the Pope's hand slowly fell and was placed on Gilad's head. From this moment on, His Royal Highness Prince Gilad became His Majesty King Gilad.
And this extremely important scene appeared in front of the kings of Purandar at the same time. These people had different ideas and expressions. The only thing that was certain was that they all had a premonition of danger.
The young Gilad is obviously different from the gentle Victor. Victor took over a lazy man. He did not have the courage to make a desperate move, and wanted to use a gentle and controllable method to bring down the Illrus Empire. Slowly becoming stronger.
But Gilad is different. He is young, powerful, energetic, and courageous. Look at him. He inherited the name of the ancestor of the royal family of the Illus Empire, and also inherited his weapon, which shines with the light of the elements. The gorgeous long sword is not a decoration. He is already at the Supreme level at a young age and is fully expected to break through to the Legend level and become a hero like the heroes Jean and Angus!
Under the leadership of such a sharp-edged king, docile sheep will turn into ferocious wolves, and even the most terrifying enemies will dare to pounce and take a bite.
As soon as Gilad announced his declaration of hostility to the Chaos Cult, these political veterans sensed a deeper meaning. They were clearly trying to find a reasonable reason to start a war.
Gilad, who was wearing the crown, was helped up by the Pope: "Congratulations, my Majesty, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't have time to immerse yourself in the pain."
Seeing the tears on Gilad's face, the Pope said very seriously: "You must find out the information about the Chaos Cult as soon as possible. They are crazier and more treacherous than the Serpent of Darkness. If they do it again, I'm afraid you will also be in great danger. .”
"I see."
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Her Majesty the Holy Maiden to give you a protective blessing, and you can also remind us if you encounter any danger."
Gilad glanced at Iluli next to him, who was wearing a scarf and a white gauze, and said proudly: "No need, I am not the father, my strength is enough to ensure my safety."
The Pope was startled: "But..."
"It would be my pleasure if you insist."
Gilad walked up to Eluli and showed a lethal smile. He gently raised Eluli's hand and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand.
Iluli suddenly trembled and subconsciously withdrew her hand. Then she came to her senses and showed an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness... Ah, no, it's His Majesty the King. I'm not used to kissing hands."
"That's really my loss."
Gilad shrugged and said to the Pope: "Today you can come with Her Majesty the Holy Virgin to perform the coronation ceremony for me. It is already a great blessing to me. I sincerely thank you."
Interrupted by Gilad, the Pope also forgot about blessing. After a few brief words with him, he left with Iluli.
What happens next is a matter for the royal power, not theirs.
Let the royal power return to the royal power, and the divine power return to the divine power. This is the form that Purandar should have.
After hiding in the dark, Jean observed the people present over and over again, and then quietly came to the king's study. The messy study had been sealed off, but this could not help Jean, and he easily bypassed it. Guard blockade.
"The rich arcane energy... is a sudden burst of arcane energy... it is Clark's method... but... there is still a very strong aura of water element left..."
Gene frowned. The fifth-level arcane burst released by Clark's power could destroy the defense of five legendary magic items and kill Victor?
This is impossible!
Among the magic props worn by Victor, there was even a ring made by Clark. Clark proudly showed it to Jean, claiming that the protective spell on the magic ring could withstand a seventh-level spell head-on!
The study was severely damaged, and many clues could not be investigated. However, at this time, Jean noticed traces of blood on the ground, and his brows knitted together again.
When hit by an arcane burst, does the blood change into this shape?
Absolutely ridiculous!
There is too little information to know the truth about yesterday's death scene!
correct! Where are Queen Olena and Princess Alleria?
Today is obviously the succession ceremony of the new king, but none of them showed up, and no one in the throne room mentioned it. Pope Jesolini asked, and Prince Gilad casually dismissed them as being too sad to come forward. But this obviously doesn’t make sense!
At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. Jean sighed secretly, stepped into the void and left here.
"Is anyone near here?"
"Report to His Majesty the King, no!"
"very good."
Prince Gilad glanced at the ruins of the study and went straight back to his room.
After returning to the room, with a "click", Gilad frowned and tore off the ritual armor on his body. The clothes underneath were completely wet with abscess blisters.
When he was baptized by the holy light in the hands of the Pope, the power in his body resisted, and he suppressed it forcefully. His flesh and blood were burned by the power of the holy light, causing blisters.
He even burst into tears because of the severe pain - luckily the Pope thought it was because he was too sad.
If it weren't for the fact that he deliberately struck up a conversation with Eluli and prevented them from applying a protective blessing, I'm afraid the dark power in his body would have been exposed to everyone on the spot.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as Gilad shook his body, the abscessed blisters burst one by one, and terrible pits appeared on his body, which then healed quickly...
"Damn old thing... we must find a solution as soon as possible."
Gilad murmured to himself, and his eyes suddenly fell on the ring left by Victor.
It is a well-known thing that the treasure house of the ancient kingdom is always full of various treasures...
Ellington, Lord's House.
Everyone watched the entire coronation ceremony with Princess Alleria and Olena sobbing. Victor’s sister and Aubrey’s wife, Parola Illlus, could only hide her sadness and comfort her. Her younger siblings and nieces, she hasn't even met her granddaughter Elsa yet.
Tang En clapped his hands: "Okay, the matter is settled. Aubrey and Adrian's families have been properly settled. Now we need to discuss the next step."
Fiona, who was busy comforting Alleria, was startled: "Next step?"
"Yes, next step."
Tang En nodded, paused, and continued: "Although we have decided to wait for the other party to reveal his true face, we cannot keep others in the dark now. We need to make some responses."
