The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 239: Dragon Priestess...Male?

"You guys really have no sense of humor."

Zun Zun tried to ease the awkwardness with a somewhat helpless tone, but in return everyone looked at him with a "you think it's funny" look.

But thanks to Firut's previous experience, it did not cause public anger or criticism.

clap clap-

There was sudden applause in the silent room.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Natsuki Subaru. He sighed again from the bottom of his heart, "Human nature really does not change. I have confirmed it once again."

This guy is of the same nature.

He was almost sentenced just now, but now he dares to clap his hands in public... No, he did it on purpose.

When Zun Zun saw Natsuki Subaru's raised mouth corner, he probably wanted to recruit him to join the group and impress the nobles and knights present.

"Thank you Subaru, you are my best friend."

Even so, Zun Zun was very moved.

“Hmph.” Priscilla snorted upon seeing this and said proudly, “Your performance as a clown is acceptable, so I’ll give you a corresponding reward. Al, applause.”

"……real or fake?"

Even though Al's face couldn't be seen clearly because of the helmet, one could sense his helplessness. He raised his one arm and shouted, "Princess, you are really asking too much. I really can't do that."

"Can you still be considered my follower? Think of a solution for me!"

"Think of ways to……"

So Al patted his belly.

Compared to Zun Zun, he seems more like a comedian, so I can't help but admit defeat.

Zun Zun quickly looked around.

The beautiful lady in military uniform, Crusch, the marshmallow girl Anastasia, the silver-haired half-elf Emilia whom he knew, Firut who volunteered to be king, and the arrogant girl Priscilla who seemed to be helping him out.

These five are the candidates for the king's selection.

Then he saw Reinhardt smiling at the side, and couldn't help but glare at him. He thought that the Sword Saint and himself were on the same side, but he didn't expect that he had also plotted against him.

The sudden appearance of the Lord did not cause any disturbance, or only caused a slight disturbance. Both the knights and the civil officials felt helpless that the originally sacred and solemn king selection ceremony had turned out like this, but they had to accept the current situation.

At this moment, he felt a strong gaze.

It was the old man from the Council of Sages, sitting in the center. When Zun Zun looked back, he looked away and spoke to the knights below.

“Reinhard, I can explain.”

"Yes. Then please allow me to boldly explain it to you, my Lords."

Reinhard first took the dragon emblem from Felt's hand, and then handed it to Zun Zun.

"Before that, everyone, please read this."

When Zun Zun reluctantly took the badge, the gem on it seemed to be impatient and suddenly burst out with strong light, condensing into a column of light that hit the beam of the palace hall.

As the light grew brighter and bigger, Zun Zun threw the badge to the ground roughly as if he could no longer bear it.

“——It’s so hot!”

He yelled angrily.

Such an extreme action should have caused criticism from everyone, but they were completely stunned.

“…Hmm!?”

"How can this be!"

"seriously!"

Everyone present exclaimed in a low voice, even the many elders in the Sages' Association were stunned.

Aside from Firut and Emilia, the other three chosen kings also felt the magic. Although they could make the gems on the dragon emblem glow, they were no match for Zun Zun in terms of size and brightness, like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly.

If the next king is determined by whoever can make the jade shine the brightest, then Zun Zun would undoubtedly be the first.

Some civil servants shouted in disbelief.

"Could it be, it's the Dragon Priestess!?"

"But the prophecy said there would only be five Dragon Priestesses, but a sixth one appeared... Could it be that the dragon was wrong?"

"What the hell is going on, Reinhardt!"

Zun Zun's appearance caused a sensation.

This fifth Dragon Priestess could not be found no matter how hard we looked, but once we found her, two of them appeared one after another.

"Please be patient, sirs." Reinhardt said slowly, "The next part is the crux of the matter! Actually... Your Excellency is a man."

"Him? Male?"

"You mean... there is a handle?"

“Don’t be ridiculous, Reinhard! Are you hiding the truth of this matter on purpose in order to promote Felt-sama? This lady looks like a woman!”

Seeing the civil servants yelling, Natsuki Subaru raised his head to stop the tears from falling.

Don't blame them for misunderstanding.

It's just as deceptive as Phyllis.

Zun Zun also got angry all of a sudden. He pulled the belt on his pants and shouted, "How dare you question me? Well, I'll spray you in the face with anti-aircraft guns!"

"Please don't do this, my Lord."

Reinhardt stopped him from pretending to take off his pants and said loudly to everyone: "I swear on my honor that the respected sir is undoubtedly a man!" There was an uproar.

This kind of impact is no less than the emergence of a sixth dragon priestess.

Crusch looked at Zun Zun and then at the smiling cat man standing beside him, and nodded seriously, "Same as Ferris? I'm not too surprised."

"Because Lord Crusch has me." The cat man said with a smile.

Anastasia opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. She just became more curious about Zun Zun.

As for the remaining three people, there was no reaction.

After all, we knew it from the beginning. Priscilla even snorted and said it was boring.

"Then the next step is the key issue."

The old man who led the Sages Association looked at Zun Zun and said to everyone, "How should we face this matter and how should we deal with it?"

Well.

When it came to this, everyone was slightly stunned.

Indeed, if there was no Zunzun, the five dragon priestesses would have gathered and the royal selection ceremony would have officially begun. However, now there was one more Zunzun - a man who could make the gem glow. They had to consider whether this was a new revelation from the dragon and whether there was any deep meaning in it.

The dragon Polkenica has saved the kingdom several times, and with its help, the kingdom has prospered, and it still cares for them to this day, so one has to consider the dragon's true intentions.

At this time, a thin-looking civil servant raised his hand.

"I think this gentleman cannot participate in the royal selection ceremony. First of all, regardless of his background, he has lost the qualification to become a dragon priestess just because he is a man. Besides, there has never been a male priestess in the history of the kingdom."

As he spoke, some people nodded.

Only the witch can talk to the dragon. This is also the history of the kingdom, which has been proven by time.

"Wait a minute, I have a different opinion." Another civil servant raised his hand and said loudly: "I think this may be the instruction that Long wants to issue. There must be some deep meaning in it. We can't ignore this!"

After he spoke, everyone agreed.

This kingdom is a pro-dragon kingdom, and most people believe in dragons, so they tend to agree with his argument.

"But no man has ever become a miko!"

"So how do you explain that light!?"

"It's possible that the dragon has been deceived!"

"What did you say? You said that the dragon we admired was wrong, and you dared to be so disrespectful!?"

"I said being deceived, can't you understand what people are saying!?"

Led by these two civil servants, the rest of the civil servants joined their respective camps and started to curse at each other. The civil servants should have been united in facing the outside world, but now only the Knights could remain calm.

Not really.

At least Al and Natsuki Subaru couldn't keep calm.

"I say, Senior."

"What's wrong, junior?"

"Don't you think the gap between people is too big? You became a slave right after you arrived, and I became a servant, but someone suddenly became a candidate for the king's election... Don't you think life is unfair?"

"I totally agree. That kid must be very lucky."

Whether it was jealousy or unhappiness, the two of them had quite a few complaints.

The old man who was the head of the Sages' Association fell silent when he saw the palace lobby turned into a noisy vegetable market again. Even though he had guessed that this situation would turn out like this, he still had a headache.

Especially the person who caused the controversy, who was now standing in the crowd and joining the quarrel, and even refused to become a candidate for the king.

"--quiet!"

Knight Commander Marcus waved his hand, and the members of the Royal Guards marched in unison. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the palace lobby, and soon the scene became silent.

The civil servants looked at the dissatisfied old men from the Sages' Association on the stage, slowly relaxed their actions of correcting each other's hair and digging out the birds, coughed lightly, and resumed their gentlemanly demeanor.

Zun Zun, who had mixed in and taken out birds several times, also quickly fled from there and returned to the front.

The old man from the Sages' Association rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

Zun Zun stuck out his tongue.

Of course, several candidates for the king's choice also noticed his little action. They had different expressions. Firut gave him a thumbs up in encouragement, as if to say that he did a good job.

The two of them have similar tastes.

At the same time, the old man from the Sages Association said, "Everyone! I know this matter is very difficult to decide, but if this matter cannot be resolved now, then the King Selection Ceremony will never officially begin, so please carefully consider and make the appropriate decision."

Normally speaking, such an important matter should be postponed for careful discussion, but the old man from the Sages' Association seemed to be planning to make a decision now.

In fact, other people could also understand this sense of urgency. Now that the kingdom was leaderless and had no royal leadership, they urgently needed to select the next king to quell the unrest in the kingdom.

However, everyone was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

at this time--

"Wouldn't it be better if this gentleman could also participate in the royal election?"

The deliberately prolonged tone made people frown.

"Lord Roswaal?"

"The Duke of my country, the foreign merchant, the bloody bride, the slum vagrant, the silver-haired half-elf... There are so many candidates for the king's election with distinct personalities. If I add a male candidate for the king's election recognized by the dragon, it doesn't seem to make much difference."

After hearing what Roswaal said, the others finally realized that the priestesses chosen by the dragon seemed to have problems.
