702 Prince (1/2)
”Sir Surran, I can't believe that we met again so soon!”
Fang Yuan was similarly a little surprised, and he turned his gaze, immediately seeing Efia and Wayne.
There was nothing impressive about Efia. Although she was dressed as a sorcerer, she herself was instead a pastor. As for the other person, Wayne, he was a Quasi-Legend.
Not only that, the divinity in his body was also very rich. Evidently, he had killed many.
”These two are Efia and Wayne, the helpers the Church prepared for us!”
Surran saw Fang Yuan's gaze and introduced them to him.
”Hehe!” Fang Yuan laughed coldly and intentionally released a trace of the divinity's aura.
Instantly, Wayne, who was initially coldly looking on with animosity, immediately became like that previous team leader, feeling all the pores on his entire body tighten up. ”Th-This… How is there such a huge disparity? I feel like if he were to act, he could definitely kill me! Could the boundary of a Legend be this horrifying?”
”Is this the power of a Legend Son of Purgatory?” Efia's face had also changed dramatically. ”It seems like… the intelligence of the churches and True Gods are truly vast. If they only relied on us, I'm afraid that we'd be unable to deal with that Son of Purgatory of the Noether Kingdom!”
When a Son of Purgatory became a Legend, the power they exerted was even more terrifying.
Therefore, after the Harvest Lady failed to draw him over, she thought to eradicate him.
”Greetings, both of you!” Fang Yuan lightly greeted, but he was only looking at Surran.
Naturally, only Legends would be able to converse equally with him. ”Then, who is the target this time?”
”It's the crown prince of the kingdom—Redwin!” Surran sighed. ”We have evidence that the king has long discovered his son's abnormalities, but didn't do anything about it. Instead, he secretly provided assistance!”
”Thus, the entire royal family must be exterminated!” Wayne added.
”Great!”
Fang Yuan naturally did not have an opinion.
Anyway, the complete annihilation of Noether Kingdom's royal family was largely beneficial to him as well.
At least when he was governing in the future, he would not need to worry about any royal family bloodline appearing.
As for any children born out of wedlock, inside the noble circles, the general consensus was that they had no succession rights.
…
As these Legends gathered, inside Noether Palace.
”Your Highness!”
In front of a desk, a staff member respectfully presented the latest documents and intelligence, not daring to directly look at the person sitting.
He was wearing a long noble robe, his golden curls dancing like waves, his eyes the color of the sea. He looked to be only twenty years old, but already possessed the maturity and bearing that was completely inconsistent with an ordinary youth.
This was the first successor of the kingdom, Redwin, forty years old this year.
Not only was he proficient in etiquette and heraldry, he also had groundbreaking talent in arithmetic. Since he was twenty years old, he was made crown prince and assisted the king with government affairs.
What was even rarer was that, even with his busy schedule, he could still maintain his training to become a powerful professional.
His youthful complexion was a testament to this!
Redwin looked at this report and directly flung it on the table, breaking into laughter while saying, ”The Evil Demon situation of the nation can finally be said to have improved… It's really ironic that, according to the deductions of the palace sorcerers, this was related to the recent disasters. Because of this catastrophe, we had the opportunity to catch our breath under the demonic claws of the Evil Demons, right?”
”Yes, Your Highness!” A person with the appearance of a scholar stood up.
He was around sixty years old, his eyebrows and beard were gray, and a pair of spectacles hung from the bridge of his nose. ”But after these years of catastrophe, the grain production of our entire kingdom had rapidly deteriorated, and the price of barley within the capital has already inflated by hundreds of times compared to last year. Also, various feudal lords have lost many citizens and can't complete the coming year's reclamation.”
Without reclamation, there would be no harvest.
”There's nothing that can be done. This problem even surfaced within the royal family's territory!”
Redwin had a slightly bitter smile.
In the eyes of the nobles, these lower class people and serfs were indeed like ants, and their deaths wouldn't be begrudged.
However, they could not be completely exterminated. Otherwise, who were the nobles going to exploit in the future?
”Fortunately, there are people migrating from the central region that we can use as replenishment.”
Redwin raised a porcelain teacup, savoring the black tea inside. ”Do any of you have special news?”
While saying this, his mouth slightly arched, making everyone shudder with fear.
An assistant summoned his courage and said, ”Special news… Stan Duchy Regent Timo has defeated all contenders and has already completely stabilized the situation within the nation!”
”Timo? No other way, he has a Legend's support!” Redwin exaggeratedly sighed and touched his forehead. ”Slo, find some time to invite Master Ollie over to my palace. I want to discuss matters regarding that Disaster Knight.”
”Your orders will be fulfilled!”
An attendant bowed and dismissed himself.
”Finally, it's a small piece of news. That Son of Salvation who appeared in the mine has already been taken away by people from the Church of the Life God. It's rumored that they'll announce him as the 'Son of God'!”
This news made Redwin's face sink. ”No matter what, that infant named Heim is also a citizen of our Noether Kingdom. What right does that church have to snatch him? You trash, you couldn't even stop this!”
He was infuriated, and the staff below were helpless.
