Someone Actually Wants to Take This Throne?

After dealing with the Lateran matter, Huang Cao continued to send many more people there.

Lateran possesses formidable military strength, second only to the major powers of Terra, but its overall strength still falls short of Terra's core.

The small land area and lack of high-end combat power are the reasons why Lateran cannot stand alone.

In the past, battles between Lateran and Sarkaz have almost always ended in victory for the latter.

After all, the Sarkaz race has such a huge advantage that it is difficult for ordinary Terra races to fight them on equal footing, even the Sarkaz, who are originally Sarkaz, are no exception.

Only fantastical beings like Wyvern could possibly rival it.

"Speaking of which, when will my Captain Swordfish be born? I'm still waiting to send her her mother's embarrassing history."

Huang Cao already knew that Hratya was grooming Goradya and wanted to use her to bring down her.

So the woman had no chance at all from the start, but just as Huang Cao was lamenting how slowly time was passing, a playful sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Then a very quiet-looking little girl leaned against the window of Master Huang's castle, with a helpless Kal'tsit standing next to her.

"Miss Aifarnir, be careful not to fall." Kal'tsit sighed, picked up Aifarnir was not yet five years old, and carried her down from the window. Then she took out a few candies from the pocket of her maid outfit.

After receiving the candy, the girl happily ran to Lamian and offered it to the siren Banshee Queen of her tribe.

Lamian was amused by Aifarnir, knowing she was playing pretend again.

Huang Cao also came to the backyard, and unexpectedly Aifarnir also ran over and gave him a piece.

Aifarnir, but a gender-swapped version.

Because Lamian had taken advantage of Master Huang, and Master Huang doesn't have a child yet.

Therefore, the present-day Aifarnir was created by the Banshee using the blood of all the River Valley Banshee except for the Banshee Royal Court Lord, and also nurtured with a portion of the power of the Master Huang.

She had a portion of the Abundance journey, but did not inherit Master Huang's genes, so she was naturally born female.

However, during the cultivation process, Master Huang participated in the face-sculpting process, creating Li Gousheng's face exactly as depicted in the original story.

Furthermore, due to timeline issues, Aifarnir was born several decades earlier than in the original storyline.

Apart from Lamian, all the Banshee in the Banshee River Valley are this little girl's mother.

If Huang Cao had mixed his own genes into it back then, Aifarnir's face would probably have resembled Master Huang's by at least 60%.

Then Lamian would probably have several thousand more green hats on her head, but Master Huang has no intention of becoming a father now, so he only contributed a portion of his strength and not his own genes.

With the blessing of Abundance power, Aifarnir, who has fused with the bloodlines of thousands of Banshee, displayed an incredibly terrifying talent for Originium Arts as soon as she learned to speak.

It's estimated that once he reaches adulthood, he'll be comparable to the Witch King, and his power will be significantly greater than the Super Cup from the original storyline.

She'll probably grow up to be a stunningly beautiful and dashing woman. After all, even when Li Gousheng dressed as a girl in the original story, his character design still exuded feminine beauty.

Not to mention that she has now completely transformed into a woman.

Lamian, Kal'tsit, Master Huang, and the Banshee who came with them played with Aifarnir in the courtyard for a while.

As evening approached, the little girl reluctantly waved goodbye to Master Huang.

"Oh, such a lovely child, Ah Cao, how many more do you think I should have in the future?" Lamian placed her hands on the boy's thin shoulders, her eyes seemingly sparkling with a red light.

Although it has been irrigated for almost a hundred years and the land has completely turned into the shape of an ox, it still only sows seeds but does not bear fruit.

Kal'tsit felt the same way, and besides, as the largest race in Terra, the Feline had a very high reproductive drive.

However, the women wouldn't do anything to put Ah Cao in a difficult position; they were just performing a set routine.

Huang Cao simply shook his head. "Tell me, what role do you want me to play tonight?"

The two of them took out a maid outfit from a bag and greedily licked their lips.

Kal'tsit: "Everyone else in the family has something to do tonight, so it's just the three of us now, which is a rare occurrence, happening only once every few years."

Indeed, the probability is extremely low, Huang Cao thought to himself, rolling his eyes.

What else can I do? I'm not losing out anyway, so I can only continue to cater to them.

Some time later, bad news came from Yan Country.

The True Dragon was "killed" by Crown Prince Yan Wu, causing turmoil in the court and the country. Except for an infant girl, no one from the Grand Tutor's family survived.

The crown prince fled, taking more than ten imperial guards to Lungmen, and clashed with Koschei in the first month.

Upon receiving the news, Master Huang could only remain silent. He couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Grand Tutor's family, since the Grand Tutor had voluntarily taken the blame.

Moreover, only in this way can Yanwu be saved; the difference between instigating and actually intending to assassinate the emperor is not insignificant.

The former could be considered a momentary impulse, but the latter is truly unforgivable.

Fortunately, there were enough people to provide cover, otherwise Yanwu would definitely not have survived, and he would not have been able to run all the way to Lungmen.

After arriving in Lungmen, Yanwu officially changed his name to Wei Yanwu, and on the same day, he led the Imperial Guards to conquer a territory.

"Lungmen, I remember the Shi Huaiya Family settled there after leaving Victoria, but it seems they didn't do very well," Huang Cao thought to himself.

Since the Shi Huaiya Family left Victoria, their fortunes have declined day by day.

After all, as a tool to assist Master Huang in controlling the entire country, the current head of the Shi Huaiya Family has always served as the Deputy Speaker of the Lower House of Victoria.

The Speaker is none other than our Master Huang, who has been in office for over a hundred years.

The vice-speakers come and go, but the Speaker.

Huang Cao was about to contact the current head of the Shi Huaiya Family when his subordinates suddenly reported that the tiger had already reached an agreement with Wei Yanwu on the third day after his arrival.

Huang Cao never expected that the tiger would back down so quickly.

The reason was that the Imperial Guards had directly seized a territory by force.

Although Lungmen is a mixed bag, it is mostly made up of weaklings, so it is impossible for them to defeat the battle-hardened regular army of Great Yan.

So Adams Shi Huaiya, having been thoroughly taught a lesson, immediately decided to join forces with this man to take down Lungmen.

Even after learning Wei Yanwu's true identity, he never flinched.

Adams said that his great-great-great-great-grandfather was able to follow Master Huang to conquer the entire Victoria, and that his current all-in bet is a way to revive the family tradition.

I'm going with them! That's the wisdom of family!

The bold get rich, the timid starve!

Wei Yanwu also needed more people to help him establish a base, so he agreed to Adams's request for cooperation.

Chapter 398: Someone actually wants to vie for this throne?

Why did things turn out this way? This was Wei Yanwu's thought.

Why did things turn out this way? This was the question in the Old Black Snake's mind.

One person lamented the ever-changing political landscape, while the other sensed that he was about to become even poorer.

They were currently inside a rather dilapidated rental house.

Wei Yanwu, who looked as if he had aged decades, smoked his cigarette intermittently.

He was getting on in years, and it should have been the perfect time for him to inherit the throne and make great strides, but unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his jealous younger brother.

Is the throne really that appealing?

If you really want to do it, you should have said so earlier. I wouldn't have tried to take it from you!

Is it necessary to put such a huge label on me?

Just as Wei Yanwu's mind was in complete turmoil, a young man with horns on his head knocked on his door, and at the same time, a woman's concerned voice came from outside:

"Brother, are you alright? Edward and I bought some dinner, have a little bit."

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath. In fact, his sister had also come to Lungmen with Lungmen because she was afraid of being persecuted by a certain book-copying scoundrel.

Although they were born of the same mother, what kind of kinship is there in the royal family?

Wei Yanwu used to scoff at such talk, but now he really has no choice but to believe it.

As for the other young man with horns on his head, he was a friend that Wei Yanwu had just made in Lungmen a few days ago.

Edward Atrias, Wei Yanwu and this guy became acquainted through a series of misunderstandings.

Wei Yanwu had just arrived in Lungmen, urgently needed a place to settle his men, so he set his sights on the slums, only to encounter a tough opponent right from the start.

Indeed, Wei Yanwu's first opponent was Edward's gang, and unsurprisingly, he ran into trouble right from the start.

Even several of his own Imperial Guard brothers couldn't subdue this young man, and considering the limited time, they had no choice but to urgently sue for peace.

Then, quite naturally, they became acquainted with this young man who called himself "Wyvern".

This person has not yet been given a surname; he is only known to refer to himself as Edward.

Wei Yanwu knew from the very first day he met Edward that he was definitely not some kind of Wyvern.

Even in Columbia, where the number of Wyvern is the highest, it is absolutely impossible for Wyvern with fire on its tail to be born.

Such remarks might fool ignorant ordinary people, but they certainly wouldn't fool the crown prince, who has been navigating the treacherous waters of the imperial court for many years.

After dinner, Wei Yanwu sent his sister out and left Edward alone.

"Tell me, brother, about your background and everything about you. You can fool my sister, but you can't fool me. Victoria doesn't have many Draco."

Edward raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that as expected of a prince of Yan Country, he had revealed his true colors so quickly.

Wei Yanwu was very good at judging people. The young man in front of him might be hiding something from him, but he would never do something like stabbing someone in the back.

Besides, the way my sister looked at that kid just now was quite unusual; there might be something going on in the future.

If it were before, Wei Yanwu would have kicked this kid away long ago.

But now he was a fugitive, and he had to seize every available resource to survive.

Edward didn't waste any words and directly stated that he was one of Victoria's heirs to the throne. Of course, those who know, know what this so-called heir to the throne means.

"Although Victoria's power is now basically held by the Speaker of the Lower House, I think that guy named Huang Cao is nothing special. I stole the key to the Breath of Kings and managed to get away unscathed, which is enough to prove my ability."

Young Edward was very confident, but it was precisely this confidence that led him to pay the ultimate price.

Wei Yanwu chuckled softly, "You're about the same age as me, but your confidence is miles ahead of mine. As for your abilities..."

"Stop with the nonsense, just tell me, did I escape from that guy surnamed Huang?" Edward immediately exploded, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted.

Wei Yanwu was too lazy to joke anymore.

He certainly knew that Edward had escaped from Master Huang's clutches, but the word "escaped" was rather inappropriate.

Wei Yanwu had experienced Huang Cao's strategies firsthand. If it weren't for his principles, Yan Country would probably be a land of warlords by now.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the young man in front of us was deliberately released by Master Huang.

However, there is another possibility that this guy really has no use to us, and it doesn't matter to Master Huang whether he runs away or not.

Although Wei Yanwu did not agree with the latter possibility.

But Edward has been in Lungmen for a while now, and has even built his own gang. He's much more familiar with the area than I am, making him an invaluable helper.

After their conversation, the two established a basic line of defense.

As night fell, when the two of them walked out of the room together, Wei Yanwu actually saw Wenyue.

"Wenyue, what are you doing here?"

"If you can come here, why can't I?"

The two looked at each other in silence. Edward, who was following behind, wisely walked away, not wanting to be a third wheel.

After the bystanders left, Wenyue immediately stepped forward and asked with concern:

"You look much more haggard than you did a few years ago. What happened? My men told me you were very flustered when you came to Lungmen, as if you were hiding from something."

"Wenyue, please leave this place, I'm begging you. This is the only thing I'm most afraid of."

"You know this is impossible. Tell me about it. If all else fails, we can become a pair of star-crossed lovers."

Early the next morning.

Wei Yanwu looked at the girl lying beside him, surrounded by their clothes.

He breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally crossed the line with the foreign princess.
