Chapter 466 Who Agrees, Who Opposes?
In the midst of dead silence.
Ayato had arrived before the Dragon Calendar Stone, his gaze deep and deep.
He said calmly, "I know you are here."
"Perhaps you are indeed high and mighty, after all, this kingdom has been under your protection for countless years."
"But it doesn't matter to me. Choose the king now, and abolish the Council of Wise Men..."
"I need your answer to decide whether to regard you as an enemy."
An indescribable aura emanated from Ayato's body.
"But I believe that killing you would not be a difficult task for me."
The sound waves fell, echoing in the air for a long time.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
H-he was actually threatening the Divine Dragon?
Everyone's minds lost the ability to think.
But just then.
A change occurred.
The Dragon Calendar Stone blossomed with dazzling light.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, their eyes nearly popping out.
The Dragon Calendar Stone had actually responded?
How was this so incredible?
A moment later.
Countless rays of light had transformed into small words.
[Respected Sir, your decision is recognized.]
Seeing this, everyone could not help but tremble.
"The Dragon not only responded... but actually used a respectful title?"
Whether it was the Royal Guard, the Council of Wise Men, or the various levels of officials and nobles.
They were all completely stunned.
Ayato turned his head and spoke, "Now, who agrees, who opposes?"
"..." xN
Those who came to their senses twitched their mouths.
The Divine Dragon had recognized it.
What was the point of them opposing?
Only among the Council of Wise Men, some wanted to speak but held back, their faces showing unwillingness.
Then!
An unexpected royal election began.
There was nothing much to say.
The five royal candidates were all on the same side.
Finally!
In a mutual display of deference, Crusch became king.
After everything was settled.
Some members of the Council of Wise Men had gathered together.
"Damn it. We, the Council of Wise Men, have controlled the kingdom all along. How can we be abolished?"
"Right. He must have used some special method to deceive the Divine Dragon."
"What do we do now?"
"Hmph. The king died once. Naturally, they can die a second time."
"You mean...?"
"Gather our strength. Do it cleanly."
"Mm, but this isn't the place to talk. Let's have a meeting tonight to flesh out the details."
"Right. We can't afford to be careless about this. We can't leave any clues."
After this brief exchange, cold smiles appeared on these people's faces.
At the same time.
The expressions of Ayato and the others all froze.
Crusch even instinctively turned her head, a complex expression on her face.
The five senses of a Devil...
Were simply beyond ordinary reason.
Even though they were far apart and spoke very quietly...
The women had still heard the general idea.
The Council of Wise Men...
Had they decayed to this extent?
Priscilla chuckled. "They are really a bunch of old farts who can't bear to part with power."
Elsa said excitedly, "What should we do, Master? Do you want us to kill them all?"
"Having once been the highest power holders in the country, I am very interested in whether their intestines are still fresh."
Emilia said hesitantly, "Master, not everyone necessarily thinks that way. Killing them all might not be good."
"It's just your kindness showing."
Ayato gave her a head pat and smiled. "We'll do as you say."
"Their meeting will become their funeral."
"Elsa, Saeko, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, Master." xN.
That night.
The Royal Capital.
Inside a mansion.
Under the cover of night, two figures moved like ghosts.
Elsa and Saeko easily bypassed the layers of guards.
They arrived before a large meeting room door.
"It seems almost everyone has arrived."
"Mm. From the conversation inside, the meeting has already started."
They listened for a moment and exchanged glances.
Bang!
The next moment.
The meeting room door was kicked open.
For an instant.
All the Council of Wise Men's members inside were stunned.
When they saw Elsa and Saeko, their expressions changed.
Because they recognized their identities.
Why?
Were these two people here?
Had their plot been exposed?
"Wh-what do you want?"
"Leave at once. This is not a place for you."
After a brief moment of panic, everyone shouted out.
After all, they had held high positions.
Even if they were panicked inside...
They did not lose their composure.
