The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 240 Make the Kingdom Great Again

No wonder Crusch would be the top candidate for the next king. Besides the fact that she was originally the duke of the kingdom and was an upright and politically savvy person, she was more likely to be selected from among the short people.

Look at these people.

The arrogant woman who has no laws to follow, the businessman who wants to privatize the kingdom, the royal orphan who says he wants to destroy the kingdom, and the silver-haired half-elf who froze the great forest.

Adding another male doesn't seem to make any difference?
"Wait, wait, wait! That's not how we think about it!" the thin civil servant shouted, "Please think about this carefully. The kingdom is already in chaos, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if we add more variables? Isn't it that we should reduce the options as much as possible?"

"No, I object."

The civil servant who had just argued with him stood up again and said loudly: "I admit that the kingdom may face greater chaos in the future, but there is no doubt that this is an unavoidable period of pain. As Lord Reinhardt just said, for the prosperity of the kingdom, we have no choice but to face this situation!"

Maintain the status quo or choose possibility.

This is something that has been considered and struggled with since ancient times, no matter what period, what world, or even who it is.

But everyone knows it.

There will be absolutely no result if this continues.

The old man from the Sages' Association on the stage was also very aware of this. He looked at the five dragon priestesses below the stage with some embarrassment.

"We can't make up our minds about this matter, so we might as well ask the adults for their opinions."

After all, letting Zun Zun become a candidate for the king's choice means that they have one more competitor, and they cannot do that without asking the person's opinion.

Few people would agree to such a thing, and Zun Zun thought it would be like this.

however--

"I don't care. Whether it's one more or a hundred more, I will definitely be the next king. This is irreversible destiny. It's just a matter of taking one or two more steps. And I'm also very interested in this man, so let him join us."

Priscilla raised her head arrogantly and grinned. What she liked most was fun, so she would not let it go easily.

Crusch stood straight, and she nodded seriously and said, "I feel the same way. For me who must become the next king, having more opponents is a test for me, and it will also allow you to see my strength better."

The seeded player's speech won everyone's favor.

"I, I have no objection."

"I have no objection to Zun Zun becoming the candidate for the king's election! Rather, whoever does not allow him to become the candidate for the king's election is against me!"

Emilia and Felt spoke one after another.

One of them had no opinion of his own and was unwilling to make enemies, while the other was someone who liked to join in the fun and not mind getting involved. As expected, the two agreed.

Then everyone's eyes fell on Anastasia.

She is a crazy business person.

This is everyone's judgment and affirmation. For such a businessman, adding a competitor must be unbearable.

Zun Zun thought so too.

But Anastasia smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Me too, I have no opinion."

"...Are you serious, Master Anastasia?" The old man from the Sage Society straightened up slightly and said seriously, "You are one of the five confirmed Dragon Priestesses. If you don't agree, this matter can be put on hold for the time being."

"And you were obviously the one who planned this, so why are you still saying such stupid things?"

Things had come to a point where they had no choice but to agree. Four of the Dragon Priestesses agreed that Zun Zun could join, and most of the civil servants and the entire Royal Guard Knights also agreed that Zun Zun could join. Although she had a veto, this would offend most people in the kingdom.

It took the businessman only a second to judge the pros and cons, and she made the corresponding judgment.

"And if you don't agree, the King Selection Ceremony won't officially begin. Or do you have a better way?"

Anastasia spoke bluntly.

The old man from the Sages' Association moved his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason he didn't open his mouth.

Marcus nodded upon seeing this.

"Then, on behalf of the Council of Sages, the Imperial Guards, and the Civil Service Group, I hereby acknowledge Your Excellency as the sixth..."

"Wait wait wait! Why are you guys talking to each other?"

Zun Zun quickly interrupted them.

His reaction was exactly the same as Firut's, even worse.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I have no interest in the throne. I came here only because I promised Reinhard that I had to do it."

"…Your Excellency, do you want to withdraw from the King Selection Ceremony?"

Marcos had just seen this scene.

Zun Zun nodded seriously and said, "That's right, I want to quit! ... Is that okay? Also, Reinhard, my patience is limited, and I won't allow you to use that matter to threaten me again! Even if you are unwilling to help, I can still find someone else!"

He said this to Reinhardt rudely, but the Sword Master smiled bitterly and raised his hands in surrender.

"Your Excellency has too much ill will towards me. And I must correct you. Your becoming the sixth candidate for the King's Choice has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for bringing you here. And you should understand that."

This is true.

It was impossible for Reinhard to ask Zunzun to become the sixth chosen king. He just brought himself here according to the instructions of the Council of Sages. What happened afterwards had nothing to do with him.

"But even so, you still have a great responsibility!"

"…You are taking your anger out on others."

Reinhardt felt a little aggrieved.

Marcus on the stage confirmed again: "Sir, are you really giving up on becoming a candidate for the King's Choice?"

“Yes, I put—” “Softie.”

Just as Zun Zun was about to speak, someone cursed.

Hey, I have such a bad temper!
He walked unhappily to the person who spoke, raised his head slightly and stared into the eyes that were looking at him with the same arrogance.

"--What did you say!?"

"I said you're a wimp. What's wrong? Isn't that right? You're a wimp when you back off from such a great opportunity. You're a wimp, aren't you? By the way, do you really have a penis?"

anger--!
Veins popped out on Zun Zun's forehead.

Al, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but whispered, "Princess, you are my fellow countryman after all, please be more gentle with your words."

"It is precisely because I am your fellow villager that I keep my mouth shut. Look around, aren't these people treating you like a clown?" Priscilla motioned for him to look around.

Zun Zun didn’t look at it.

But I guess it's similar to what she said.

Looking directly at Priscilla, he asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? What's wrong with having one less opponent?"

"Hmph, I've said it before, I will be the king, just as the world revolves around me. It doesn't matter whether you exist or not. What matters is whether you can bring me pleasure. But now it seems... you may just be a boring mortal."

"Ordinary people..."

Zun Zun was amused by her arrogance and pride.

The Red Demons will definitely respond if there is any problem!
"If you don't want to participate, then leave quickly. You're really an eyesore here..."

"I'll rub it!"

"--What are you doing!?"

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Zun Zun suddenly stretched out his hands to ravage the unusually plump slime that Priscilla held up in her arms, shaking it vigorously as if practicing Tai Chi to feel the elasticity, which made the arrogant woman furious.

"How dare you humiliate me in public? You deserve to die—"

Zun Zun spun on his feet, dodged Priscilla's slap, and retreated two or three steps.

"Big sister, you seem to have forgotten our bet. I can ravage your breasts at will."

“That’s not possible…!”

"I don't care!"

He touched a girl's breasts in public, even though the girl was the Bloody Bride, one of the candidates for the King's Choice, and during the solemn and sacred King's Choice Ceremony. Everyone thought that Zun Zun had gone crazy.

At the same time, I also had a bad feeling about what would happen next.

as predicted.

"You seem to want me to participate in the royal election? Although I like to say NO to self-righteous people, but... well, I will participate this time with reluctance. You must thank me for my kindness!"

Zun Zun seemed even more arrogant than Priscilla, as if allowing him to participate in the royal election was a great reward.

"Listen carefully! I am Zun Zun, the most powerful Grand Mage of the Crimson Demon Clan! I am Zun Zun who is determined to become the most benevolent, kind, supreme, and powerful Demon King! I am the only Zun Zun in the world!"

Confident, bold, outspoken, ambitious
The most attractive time for a person is when he or she is confident, bold, and ambitious; when he or she displays a bright, bold, and upward vitality; when he or she is frantically plundering all the beautiful things. These are more lethal than simple beauty.

The old man from the Sages Society couldn't help but say, "There's a lion in his eyes."

"... Lao Deng, are you calling me a loser?!" Upon hearing this, Zun Zun turned around and glared at him.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just thought of my ancestors when I saw your Excellency like this."

——The Lion King.

The 35th King of Lugnica, he is known as the Last Lion King and has signed a contract with the dragon Polkenica.

The old man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Zun Zun, who had his hair tied up like a wolf-tail mullet and stared with red eyes like a little lion.

"I see. No wonder the dragon chose you."

Ok? ? ?
Zun Zun didn't know why Lao Deng suddenly sighed, but anyway, he participated in the royal election under Priscilla's instigation.

"Are you satisfied?"

"You are a man who is too easily provoked, but... you have given me a good show, which is worthy of praise."

This guy……!
He actually treats himself as a joke.

However, the Red Demons were easily provoked and there was nothing they could do about it. They had already subtly influenced Zun Zun over the past decade.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly.

The Knight Commander Marcus said at this time: "My Lord, your ambition is..."

"I had forgotten that there was such a thing." Zun Zun raised his head and said loudly: "My ambition... is to make the kingdom great again!"

Unexpectedly, the simple and unpretentious speech was accepted by everyone.

no way.

Those guys are really too individual.

Thus, after the sixth candidate for the royal election expressed his ambition, the three-year royal election ceremony was announced.
