Chapter 82 Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom
After visiting the Sword of the Furnace Oticon, Prince Chen sat alone at his desk with a look of reluctance.
His mother was a political victim during the brief period of good relations between Gran and Sealand. Prince Chen has never enjoyed real prince treatment in the Principality of Glen since the moment he was born. However, when he returns to the Principality of Sealand, he will not be recognized. status identity.
This is not because of his mother's status as a foreigner, but because of his strength!
Every prince of the Principality of Sealand must convince the public with force and military exploits. All successive kings of Sealand have the Sealand Emperor as their ultimate ideal. Therefore, the Sealand royal family, which advocates iron blood and conquest, will never admit that they are just apprentices to the power of knights. waste.
It is precisely because of this that from the moment he was born, Prince Chen knew that life was not easy.
According to the law of conservation, if you want to get something, you must pay other prices. However, if you want to get something, the price you have to pay is far more than that of several brothers.
Although the Principality of Glen does not have the tradition of subordinating the crowd by force of Sealand, the struggle for power among the princes is the result of competition and compromise between several major forces. Generally speaking, there is almost no clear way that the Principality of Glen can affect the struggle for power among the princes. Show support for yourself.
The military headed by his father supports the eldest prince.
The noble ministers headed by the four major families tend to support the second prince. At least three major families have made their stance clear!
The church also tends to support the second prince. Archbishop Clare even personally baptized the second prince with holy water. This is almost equivalent to giving a gold medal to avoid death. Even if the power struggle fails, the successor will be chosen because of the light and grace. We must never blaspheme the grace of the God of Light.
In addition, there are several organizations that can affect the struggle for power, such as the Royal Academician Committee, the Arena Club, the Mercenary Association, and the Temple of Wisdom. Although they have not made a clear statement, because of their mother's relationship, they are in St. Gran Castle. Any co-optation is almost impossible.
Because he couldn't leave the palace at all!
This time, after all the hard work, I finally left the palace and the absolute sphere of influence of my two brothers. The reason why I chose to come to the Furnace Fortress was because according to the investigation, the Furnace Sword Oticon who guarded the Furnace Fortress was a truly strict man. The self-disciplined Honor Sky Knight hopes to gain the general's support by performing well here, thereby influencing his father, even if it is only a slight influence!
As long as the father no longer acquiesces and allows himself to have the right to freely enter and exit the palace when he returns to St. Grant's Castle, it will be a victory.
pity.
Although the two brothers could not influence the Furnace Fortress, they were able to send their information to the Principality of Sealand. Their mission failed. Not only did they fail to gain the appreciation of General Shanrogoev, but they also worked hard to win over them. All the supporters who came were completely destroyed.
"Is this despair?"
Prince Chen took a deep breath and deeply realized his powerlessness.
Now, no one in the world hopes for his father's good health more than Prince Chen, because once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be the first batch of souls killed by the sword.
Although the struggle for power in the Royal Family of Glen is obscure, it is far more cruel than that of the Principality of Sealand!
Nowadays, although the Emperor of the Duke of Gran is in good health, he is already an old man in his seventies after all. When he was young, he suffered many accidents and did not have any practice. Even if he takes some life-prolonging monsters for a long time, it is after all an external force. , has limited effect.
"Prince!"
Suddenly, an old servant trotted over and said excitedly: "Our opportunity has come!"
This old servant was a loyal follower brought by his mother from the Principality of Sealand. He had personally taken care of him since he was brought up. He had secretly withstood many dangers for him. He was also one of the few people he could truly trust.
"what chance?"
Prince Chen would never show his weak side in front of anyone, and his voice was quite calm.
"Reliable news, a space node secretly controlled by the Temple of Wisdom near the fortress was captured by the Principality of Xilan in a sneak attack. It is very likely that Prince Ling over there came secretly for military glory!"
Speaking of Prince Ling, the old servant added: "He is the youngest prince with the talent of Ice Eyes, your cousin."
Prince Chen shook his head sarcastically.
"A few days ago, this cousin wanted to turn me into a military honor, right?"
The old servant paused and did not continue to reply on this issue.
"It is said that this space node is very special. It is on the verge of the collapse of the law. It can only allow magicians with level 0 magic power and trainee fighters who have not taken any magic potions to enter. Prince Ling took a fancy to this and gathered together. Qualified elites from all forces in the Principality of Sealand suddenly invaded. After all, according to intelligence, he is one of the most powerful students of this year's Sealand Academy of Sciences."
"In the era of the War of the Gods when the Academy of Sciences had not yet risen, the Goddess of Wisdom was the life-and-death enemy of the Principality of Sealand. Even if more than a thousand years have passed, the desecration of the Goddess's achievements is enough to attract the attention of the other side."
Prince Chen murmured in a low voice, but frowned again.
"But the followers I brought were all used up in the previous ambush battle. Besides, this space node is so special. Even if my followers are still there, they don't meet the conditions."
In the Principality of Sealand, the forces of the Academy of Sciences have already eliminated the Temple of War!
However, within the Republic of England, the Temple of Wisdom still has considerable influence, enough to affect the struggle for imperial power.
"Prince, we have no retreat. We must do our best to seize this only opportunity! Otherwise, once we leave the fortress and return to Fort St. Gran, we will never turn over!"
hiss……
Prince Chen tried his best to think of people who could ask for help, even people he had met once, or even people he had heard from others, and his mind gradually calmed down.
After more than half an hour, Prince Chen took out a piece of paper, closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Help me investigate these people."
…
the next day.
Lei Luo, who was used to getting up early and was troubled by the strange changes in his body, was disturbed by a knock on the door.
Putting down the books and information he was searching for, Lei Luo frowned and opened the door. It was Prince Chen who had returned to the altar on the fifteenth floor of the fortress tower a few days ago with the help of the time and space scroll.
At this moment, the prince was standing alone in front of his door, smiling generously and easily.
"Prince Chen?"
Lei Luo looked puzzled and bowed slightly, his new black academic uniform covering his abnormality.
Prince Chen looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but recall yesterday's investigation because of the mission of the Wisdom Goddess Moon Trace Space Node.
Lelo Guber!
Gu Bo, the dean of the new class of students at the Gleneagles Academy of Natural Sciences, one of the contenders for the honorary vice-president, has attracted the attention of the Royal Academician Committee, and his "Atavistic Cloning" is not only an explanation of "The Mystery of Evolution", but also Further development on its basis is of great significance.
Gubo's great disciple Wushuang Gallie, known as the Shadow of the Sky, established the Shadow of the Sky mercenary group. In recent years, it is one of the most powerful S-level mercenary groups and has a great influence on the mercenary association.
After knowing that this inconspicuous first-year male student had such a big background, Prince Chen immediately knew what he had missed. After secretly feeling annoyed, he came to visit early in the morning.
Maybe his two brothers don't care about Lei Luo. Even if they need it, they will directly visit Gu Bo or Wushuang Jialie. But for the desperate Prince Chen, Lei Luo's existence is like a life-saving straw. He has been under house arrest for a long time. There is really a need for some forces that can influence St. Granburg, even if it is just potential.
"Ever since that day when I was ambushed by the Principality of Sealand and came back to see you once with the help of the Time and Space Scroll, I was in a trance because of the loss of my relatives and did not come to visit you. I am ashamed to say that your life was saved by your Excellency. I have trouble sleeping and eating, so I came to visit early this morning. I hope you won’t blame me for being unreasonable.”
Just as he was talking, Prince Chen actually bowed slightly to Lei Luo, which surprised Lei Luo and he quickly helped him up.
Not to mention the prince, even the ordinary nobles in the academy have never treated Lei Luo like this.
In the academy, except for a limited number of people, Lei Luo was unable to join the social circle of aristocratic dances and banquets because of his civilian status. He was almost invisible, and no one cared or paid attention to him.
Prince Chen's sudden behavior really made Lei Luo feel flattered, difficult to adapt to, and also felt a little strange.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this!"
Lei Luo is no longer the little guy who just left Agate Lake. Of course he doesn't believe a word he said he saved the other party. If he was really grateful, he should have shown it when he asked for his last name. Why wait until Now.
Is it because of his background?
Is it because of Instructor Gu Bo and Senior Brother Wushuang?
Inviting Prince Chen into the house, Lei Luo was not in a hurry and took the initiative to ask, looking sincere and frightened. The prince would surely have a good future if he survived the disaster.
