Card Alchemist

Chapter 439 Unexpected

His Royal Highness Prince Starr's reputation is enough to make many people know him and allow him to enter and leave the palace freely. Even in such a turbulent time, no one can dare to stop the rampaging Star.

A black curtain of condolences has been hung around the palace.

In a large palace, Roland lay peacefully in the crystal coffin. Under the crystal coffin sat on both sides of the courtiers, including the Minister of Military Affairs Card, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, the Presidential Guard of the Palace, and the generals of the Royal Guards. Looking at these members of the core power enclosure of the empire, Starr couldn't help shaking his head.

"I'm late to come back!" Star sighed silently.

Long before Roland's death, he had made a top-secret edict - if he died, the empire would be temporarily managed by Star.

Roland is only 19 years old, one year younger than Star. He is not married in front of him, let alone children. Roland, who seized the throne by force, had already killed all the people with pure royal blood except himself. As a result, the empire now has no dragons. Because of this, the peripheral power circle could not seize the throne after Roland's death. And these ministers who were trusted by Roland in front of them all ruled the whole empire in an orderly manner according to Roland's edict.

At least there is no trouble... Of course, this is only temporary.

A general of the Royal Guard was standing below and reporting something loudly, but Star didn't seem to listen to a word. It was only after he finished speaking that Star came to his senses. Looking at the general below who was staring at him waiting for his order, Star waved his hand, but said nothing.

To be honest, Star doesn't know what to say at all.

Roland's death was indeed unexpected. No one thought that the youngest king in the empire, who was still on his guard with each other two or three months ago, would lie in the crystal coffin forever.

The general of the Royal City Guard reported that the current mobilization of troops around the imperial capital told all the troops in the Star Empire were normal. The military heart was also very stable. No one took the opportunity to make trouble, and reported on the previous mobilization of several city gate troops.

Not only does Starr not understand why Roland gave the burden of the whole empire to himself, but in fact, the ministers here don't know.

The power given to Starr by Roland is equivalent to that of His Majesty the Empire. He even has the power to kill the people of the whole country. At the same time, it means that as long as Star's decision is made, these people must not violate it.

And this morning, all the ministers came to the gate of the imperial city to welcome the Star Prince Star who returned to Beijing.

It is a good face for this former 'friend' of His Majesty the Empire.

The etiquette of the imperial royal family. Usually, when the emperor dies, the emperor's legacy remains in the palace. Set up a place similar to a mourning hall, and wait for a month of hanging sacrifice before being buried.

Roland was the only emperor of the whole empire, so his funeral was carried out according to the emperor's specifications. Moreover, the significant contribution he made in his reign of only three years has made this specification more solemn.

This mourning hall specially arranged in the original palace hall is extremely solemnly decorated. The door has been hung with a high black curtain symbolizing mourning, and walking into the hall. In the empty hall, there are unquenchable flames burning in several fire basins around. Above the head of the crystal coffin is an illusion created by alchemy like a starry sky. The sun, moon and stars above rotate slowly, symbolizing the immortality of the spirit.

It also symbolizes eternity!

At the top of the hall is a magic array arranged with crystal stone. Originally, this crystal magic array should have been larger, showing the majesty of the royal family. However, because the magic guild disappeared overnight, the magic power of the main plane almost disappeared by more than 70%.

And this magic array was only set up by some court magicians, deliberately surrounded by the crystal coffin in the middle, where His Majesty Roland lay quietly.

Although the magic array looks a little shabby, the effect of magic has not been reduced much. As long as it is within the scope of the magic array, the remains in this crystal coffin can be stored for many days without rot. At this moment, looking from afar, he was lying there quietly, as if he were asleep, still maintaining his face. Even under the influence of magic, Roland even maintained a faint smile on his face, as if he would open his eyes from his sleep at any time!

Star saw Roland lying in the crystal coffin at a glance, and suddenly felt dizzy.

The ministers saw all this in their eyes, but no one spoke.

"How did he die?" After a long time, Star finally opened his mouth. He looked at the ministers standing behind him and asked softly. There was a trace of anger, a trace of unwillingness, and of course a trace of sadness.

"Your Majesty was found in his backyard!" A minister opened his mouth.

"Who are you?" Star looked at him.

"If you return to His Royal Highness, I am the commander of the palace guard, who is responsible for the safety of your majesty." When he said this, the minister's heart suddenly jumped. He suddenly remembered his duty. The man broke in magnificently under the palace and killed the monarch of a country in the palace. How can this kind of thing be? And these bodyguards who are specially responsible for the safety of the former emperor should be implicated and punished, and even imprison them for a charge of dereliction of duty. Of course, they can also be buried alive!

The palace guard minister couldn't help lowering his head under Star's eyes. He knew that now all the power of the empire fell into the hands of the prince. Whoever he wanted to die had to die, and there was no roundabout discussion.

"I know!" Star nodded. Everyone, step down, that leader, yes, it's you. Wait for me at the gate of the hall. I want to say a few words to the emperor. After it's over, I'll come to you. I hope you can tell me the story of His Majesty Roland's assassination and what happened that night! Only by doing this can you be exonerate from the death penalty!"

"Your Highness Prince Xie!" The chief minister quickly knelt down to thank him, and the rest of the people nodded silently and walked out of the mourning hall.

The court guard next to him changed color at the same time. Star's request is no longer rude. It's simply nonsense! He is a foreign minister. How can he be left alone in the mourning hall of the king? However, no one dared to go up to stop him. He was silent for a while. Several bodyguards who insisted on guarding in front of the crystal coffin also retreated and consciously walked out of the palace.

Star didn't speak or order them. Just look at them casually. Although these court guards are good magicians, it is not Star's turn to deal with them in person. As the pressure of the superior, several bodyguards had to give in.

In the hall, Star sat casually next to the coffin, holding the coffin lid in his hand, and was silent for a long time. He knew that someone was peeking at him outside, but Star was not going to hide it from these people. For a long time, Star said something like a sigh.

"Roland... You're really dead!" With that, Star's hand gently tapped twice on the crystal coffin. Those people outside wanted to rush in to stop Star's ridiculous action, but they were stopped by an inexplicable pressure. Star couldn't help but turn around, and their indifferent eyes made them stop the impulse.

"To be honest, since I came to this world, people who can make me worry can be counted with a slap. Sadek is one. He is the first enemy I came to this world and the first enemy to be killed by me. Even if he is not dead, now that he appears in front of me, I can crush him to death with just one finger. The second is Greer... that dark pride - Greer. My current strength should be between him, but he still scares me. The third one is you!"

Star shook his head, and his eyes were a little red, but he seemed to raise his hand gently. With a quick touch in the corners of his eyes, he continued to smile.

"Maybe you will wonder why I have never been afraid of the enemies I have met. Why, it's just a place for you. Maybe you don't know that now I have reached the demigod strength, and I have been able to avenge you... And before that, before I had absolute strength, these guys, of course, including you, are the people I fear the most. Because your wisdom and thoughts always make me difficult. As I grew up, these enemies have been defeated by me. Whether it's Sadek or Greer, it's just you. I haven't been able to beat you.

"Haha...so I'm most afraid of you. Don't think I don't know. In fact, you also have the strength of the Holy Land. Otherwise, I would have been able to kill you by all possible. However, you trust me so much. It's the Duke and the Prince... It made me bear a bad reputation for liking masculine in vain. In fact, this time I saw you recall me so anxiously, so I'm ready to give you a look.

Star's voice shook, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. But you're fine... just dodge it forever. I can't beat you as hard as I have thought about it thousands of times. You not only escaped, but also handed over the burden of the empire to me... You are such an asshole! Let me tell you, this is your responsibility, and I don't want to take over. I will avenge you and beat you up after resurrecting you!"

Star raised his fist fiercely at the crystal coffin. This kind of rebellious behavior finally changed the color of the guards guarding the door.

"Come back, everyone!" Star stood up from the side of the crystal coffin and shouted out of the door. Remove all the mourning hall!"

"What, remove the spiritual hall?"
