As the conversation progressed, Ben and Landen talked about the Dragon Kingdom. Ben briefly introduced the incident that he heard about the dethroning of the king 9 years ago. To be precise, the big families united and launched a palace coup to overthrow the predecessor King.
The predecessor King Arnold·Red-Dragon is the predecessor King and the former Kingdom Prime Minister The son of Beto·Lanyuan ascended the throne after Arnold broke through High-Rank. However, not long after Beto died. For a long time, five local nobles suggested that Beto was once related to the case of Jokoda Red-Dragon, and asked Arnold Red-Dragon to investigate and publish the facts of the case.
Arnold refused, so the five families linked up with Royal Capital and the local Archmage family to launch a coup for various reasons, forcing Arnold to abdicate and leave Royal Palace to escape Imperial Capital.
Although the impact of this coup was huge, the killings at the time were actually very small, because three National Pillar, Red-Dragon, Flying Dragon Family, and Blue Dragon Family, controlled Royal Capital The control of each force in chose to stand by and let each force enter Royal Palace during the forced palace, and other Legend in the Kingdom did not want to separate Kingdom.
In the final stalemate, Imperial Prime Minister (Demigod) appeared and presided over all the families to stop and hold a meeting between High-Rank and Legend, finally confirming Arnold's resignation at the imperial level.
Then several big families argued with each other over which family to choose the new King. In the end, Northern Count White Owl Family became the result acceptable to everyone. Count White-Owl Dusen·White-Owl became Dragon Kingdom King.
"Isn't our Dragon Kingdom royal family Red-Dragon Family?" Landen really didn't know, after all, he was still a child at the time.
To be precise, even the Viscount family in Imperial Capital rarely knew the inside story. At most, they heard that a meeting was held at that time, and the next day it was announced that King was unable to perform his duties due to physical reasons. Dusen King, who was not too tough, did not even ask the great nobles from all over the country to bring all their vassals to Royal Capital to see him.
"Yes, but not any Mana-Wielder can inherit the position of King. The most basic requirement for inheritance is High-Rank or above," Ben explained.
In the world of magic, strength and bloodline together affect the replacement of dynasties. According to the throne succession law, High-Rank male descendants have priority in inheritance, followed by High-Rank female descendants, and then their High-Rank husband, and finally the female High-Rank partner of the male offspring. If these people are not suitable, they must be selected from the branch brothers of the old King according to their level and kinship.
At that time, Red-Dragon Family's High-Rank descendants were relatively rare. In 910, a coup took place. At that time, Jokoda Red-Dragon had just ascended the throne. His Majesty was assassinated by his younger brother Kaiya·Red-Dragon, and then there were no High-Rank professionals among their Mana-Wielder peers.
But the old King Bao Ya had so many daughters that all the field Count and Marquis in the entire Kingdom were the daughters of the old King Son-in-law or nephew or grandson, and the rank requirement of the real nobles is also High-Rank, so from Prime Minister of the Kingdom to all major nobles, they can all inherit the position of King.
However, there are conditions for their inheritance of the throne, that is, as long as they and Red-Dragon Family's descendants break through to High-Rank, they will give up the throne to their descendants.
So in the end, Borya·Red-Dragon's son-in-law, Kingdom Prime Minister Beto·Lanyuan inherited the throne. After his and Mia Red-Dragon's eldest son Arnold Red-Dragon breaks through High-Rank, Beto·Lanyuan will give way to Arnold Red-Dragon.
"It is also Red-Dragon Family's long-standing tradition to marry into a big family, to prevent the family from being unlucky enough that no one will succeed to the throne."
Hey, big families are troublesome, but Landen feels that his family may not be so small in the future.
Landen talked freely with Ben Kaul in the middle of the night. Ben was knowledgeable and funny. He was very good at talking about history and theory. Although Landen liked to complain in his heart, he never acted like a lord, which made Ben Kaul's words very enjoyable.
It was so enjoyable that Landen's dreams at night were all chaotic scenes like Goblins and Red-Dragon. I originally planned to get up between 8 and 9 o'clock, but I was an hour late.
Today is the day that Landen has agreed to go to Dragon Tooth City. He must first go to the Teleportation Portal yard of the Count's Mansion, and from there to Dragon Tooth City Teleportation Hall, then visit Antrechi in the Blue Dragon Family, get his own space props, then lead his subordinates to settle in Royal Capital, and set up Chamber of Commerce in Royal Capital.
Before departure, Landen visited Neil again. After all, Neil would go back to Viscount to collect them in a few days. Landen specially handed all the magic gifts he bought yesterday afternoon to Neil and asked Neil to take them back for him.
He also went to see Wendy and other girls, and asked with a smile if they had any results after leaving in a hurry yesterday to develop magic devices.
Unexpectedly, Wendy actually gave him a palm-long "Brightness Rod" that could be held with one hand. This was actually one of the concentrated magic items that Landen and Wendy brainstormed yesterday. Unexpectedly, Wendy actually made it.
Before noon, Landen took Mace, Fang, his carriage and guards to the outside of the Count's Mansion's annex.
It is said that this is an individual courtyard, but it actually occupies a larger area than Landen's Chamber of Commerce outside the city. From the outside, it looks like a square stone building with a height of more than 40 meters. However, after entering, it was discovered that there is a huge pillar-less hall inside the building. The space of the hall extends from the ground to the roof. This hall houses a huge magic Teleportation Portal with a height of about 30 meters.
Teleportation Portal is like a rectangular door frame, 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. When the teleportation magic array on the ground is turned on, the door frame gradually becomes dim and translucent.
This Teleportation Portal will run intensively from noon to afternoon every day. If you want to pass the gate, you need to make a reservation the day before where you want to go, and then go outside the courtyard gate the next morning to check the opening time of your destination.
Because there is only one door, a location can only be opened in both directions once a day. If you miss it, you can only come back another day.
Once Teleportation Portal is started, it is a Crystal-Devouring Beast. It consumes more than 10 Magic Crystal to start. If it continues to run, it will consume Magic Crystal every minute.
Therefore, Space Mage, who is responsible for the magic array in the other hospital, will centralize the destinations before operation, which can reduce the number of destination changes and reduce costs and maintenance requirements.
If it is a popular place like Dragon Tooth City and Imperial Capital, the cost for each person to pass will be relatively low. Each person will need 5-10 Gold Coin to pass. The specific amount depends on the number of people transported on the day. The price of horses is the same as that of people. Carriages and other goods need to be charged according to weight.
If you are going to a relatively remote place, you can either wait for a dozen people to pass it together, or you can Krypton Crystal and pay 8-10 Magic Crystal to have Teleportation Portal open it once.
This time Landen went to Red-Dragon City not just to go to school, but to be able to settle down in Imperial Capital and carry out long-term business activities.
Landen, who was carrying many tasks, paid a large fee for his subordinates, Black-Scaled Horse and the carriage. Finally, after 12:30 noon, he was allowed to enter and go to Dragon Tooth City within 15 minutes.
Passing Teleportation Portal is a very special experience. It feels like entering a cold mist, but at the same time, there is panic in the mind and even some discomfort in the soul.
According to Mage next to Teleportation Portal, all kinds of reactions are normal, and more importantly, once you pass the gate, you must run a few steps quickly so as not to delay the passage of people behind you.
After passing Teleportation Portal, Landen was affected the most severely among all the people. The moment he passed through the gate, Landen even felt that he saw two of himself. One is the fourth son of Baron as Landen·Gallop, and the other is He Chao. The two themselves are so different, but they are exactly the same.
Before he could react, Landen had already arrived at Blue Dragon City. He could only walk a few steps and gasp for air next to his own Black-Scaled Horse. Before he could recover, Landen vaguely heard the shouts of others.
That was the receptionist arranged by Antrechi. He had been waiting aside for a long time to guide them.
