CHAPTER 1129: CHAPTER 836: NO ONE WANTS TO SUPPORT ANYONE

At that time, all the great nobles, Sword Saints, and strategic-level magicians of the Kingdom of Jinas will gather together.

"By the way, let me tell you, the master Nipede whom you encountered in the domain of Maplos will also be there. Although he is not a strategic-level magician, he is a special individual comparable to a Sword Saint and will equally enjoy voting rights."

"And there is also Lord Felas Yakermis, the dean of the Supreeler Academy, who, as a godfather figure in the world of magic, likely enjoys more voting rights than Master Nipede."

"The royal capital has been very lively recently."

"Don’t think this gloomy atmosphere will continue forever, okay?"

"When strong individuals and nobles from all over the kingdom arrive one after another, this nation will definitely rejuvenate."

Yuri’s words clearly entered Reiger’s ears, one sentence at a time.

"Will the kingdom’s nobility and strong individuals all come?"

Reiger was intrigued.

"This is indeed somewhat interesting."

When it comes to who will become King, Reiger is not very interested.

But as for those strong individuals of the kingdom, Reiger has some interest.

For instance, the other strategic-level magician of the kingdom, whom Reiger has never met to this day, only aware of their existence.

And that Meteor Sword Saint who became a Sword Saint before himself, Reiger is also a bit curious.

"It seems you don’t intend to ignore this election after all."

Yuri, understanding Reiger’s temper, upon seeing Reiger’s interested expression, immediately smiled.

"I guess so." Reiger did not deny, saying: "Mainly, I want to see what the people at the top of this country are like."

"Then, if you had to choose, who would you support?" Yuri asked Reiger, "Saint Nidor Kedalion? The elder prince? Or the seventh prince?"

"Me?" Reiger raised an eyebrow, saying: "Right now, I don’t want to support anyone."

This should be understandable, right?

The three strong contenders for the throne that Yuri mentioned, Reiger isn’t familiar with any of them.

Let alone the elder prince and the seventh prince, Reiger has yet to even meet them.

As for Saint Nidor, Reiger has seen him once last time, but he hasn’t spoken with him.

Not being familiar with any of the three strong contenders, how could he possibly choose to support them?

"I’ll just watch and see, if someone looks pleasing, I’ll cast a vote. Otherwise, I’ll simply abstain."

Reiger said straightforwardly.

"...Only you would be so capricious."

Yuri could only smile wryly, unclear whether it was out of envy or helplessness.

Beside them, Lilith, Marilyn, Ai En, and Ian were quietly listening, without interjecting.

Seeing this, Reiger and Yuri had a couple more casual remarks, then got up to say their farewells, not interfering with Yuri and others handling family matters.

Afterwards, Reiger went to meet the long-unseen Mistis and Isu.

Yuri’s younger siblings have been living quite fulfilling lives recently.

Under Reiger’s influence, they have been learning swordsmanship with Ai En and Ian for some time, and now there’s some result.

Upon seeing Reiger, these youngsters looked quite happy, with young Isu even clinging to Reiger, asking him to teach swordsmanship, only giving up after Mistis slapped him to the ground.

Reiger only spent a short while with them, then waved them goodbye.

These two are not idling anymore, actively practicing swordsmanship, leading fulfilling lives, so Reiger does not want to disturb them.

After that, Reiger also encountered the butler of the Franzel family, from whom he learned about certain "friends" from the past.

These so-called "friends" naturally referred to Aquil and Kaliya and others.

After establishing fame as a Sword Saint on the Akasha continent, Aquil seems to have been trying various ways to contact Reiger, attempting to establish a relationship, but Reiger never responded, leaving the butler to handle it; Aquil’s plan to leverage Reiger’s status for the family head position was dashed.

According to the butler, after realizing Reiger’s disinterest in interactions, Aquil’s father gave up the thought and let the eldest son inherit the family.

As for Aquil, after his hope for family inheritance vanished, he was reportedly dispatched to the frontier as a local civil servant, along with his two companions, probably rarely returning to the royal capital hereafter.

This happened before the chaos in the royal capital.

In other words, although Aquil and the others were sent to the border, they luckily avoided the disaster without getting involved, whereas Aquil’s brother who became the family head encountered misfortune, witnessing how fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

As for Kaliya and Shafni, accompanying Saint Charia and belonging to the Codelion family’s vassals, they couldn’t escape the upheaval and got caught in it.

Based on the butler’s information, the Liya family, where Kaliya resides, faced a major catastrophe this time; Kaliya’s father, the current Earl of the Liya family, met with misfortune, heavy losses were incurred by the Liya family, with many of the direct members dead or injured, even Kaliya herself was gravely wounded, almost losing her life.

Shafni also suffered serious injuries, and many of her family members met with misfortune.

Currently, the Codelion family, using its influence, is helping the families of the two, barely saving them from the brink of annihilation.

From now on, their days might become quite hard, given the family’s significant loss of power; even if they manage to catch a breath, it would still take immense effort to return to their former glory.

"No one has it easy now, sigh."

Having learned everything from the butler, Reiger sighed with some emotion.

Personally, Reiger doesn’t feel much of it, but for others, the tumult’s impact is overwhelming, akin to the sky falling down.

In this turmoil, if there is one who didn’t suffer loss but actually gained, it’s undeniably Reiger.

Because, Reiger not only vanquished Solok, avenging the long-standing grudge, but also forced the mysterious force—the Temple—to reveal its traces.

Moreover, he captured two individuals from the Hidden Land, obtaining the information he long sought about the Hidden Land.

Therefore, Reiger is probably the sole beneficiary from this chaos.

"Oh right."

Walking through a corridor in the Franzel mansion, Reiger asked Lilith beside him.

"Where are those two now?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith replied truthfully.

"As per the master’s instructions, they are already confined in the basement of this mansion." Lilith stated, "As for the maid master mentioned, she has been brought out from the palace. However, as for how to arrange for her, Miss Yuri seems yet to decide."

"Leave that little maid’s arrangement to Liz herself." Reiger shook his head, saying: "She doesn’t want to stay in the palace anymore, only wishing to stay by Liz’s side, but since we won’t be in the royal capital inevitably, we can’t take her with us when we leave."

Reiger’s next destination is undoubtedly the Tistis Kingdom.

Only by going to the Tistis Kingdom can he access the Hidden Land.

Currently, he awaits the arrival of a summoned creature sent previously to the Tistis Kingdom, providing teleportation coordinates.

Once the coordinates are confirmed, he will promptly head to the Tistis Kingdom, find the teleportation array leading to the Hidden Land, and proceed further.

For now, he plans to watch the drama of the royal election unfold and see how it plays out.

Reiger casually chuckled.

Not seeing behind him, where Lilith’s eyes were shining slightly.

"The King?"

"Ha!"

Otherwise, he might have experienced being forcibly placed on the throne as the Bone King.
