Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"That's fine."

"Is this the end? There should be more, right?" Priscilla suddenly asked.

Here, she may be the only one who dares to speak freely.

"Indeed, I am very sorry for the busy candidates, but I hope you can cooperate with this meeting a little more. After all, today will be a day recorded in the history of the kingdom." Miklotov's voice was low and slightly excited.

“Promoting history?”

Miklotov winked at Marcus.

Marcus saluted and shouted, "Knight Reinhard van Astraea, step out!"

"Yes!"

Reinhardt had obviously been waiting for a long time. He walked forward in a majestic manner, first bowed to Emilia and the others, and then stood in front of Marcus.

"Knight Reinhard, reporting to everyone present."

"Yes!" Marcos gave up his seat.

Reinhard gathered everyone's attention, and after meeting Shichen's gaze, he calmly shouted, "Dragon Priestess, the fifth candidate for the throne has been found."

The door slowly opened at this time, and a petite girl accompanied by a maid walked into the hall.

When Emilia saw her, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she looked at Shichen in disbelief.

Shi Chen just smiled at her.

"Hey! Big brother!"

The girl who walked in noticed Shi Chen at once and exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 510: Killing Someone to Establish Authority

The girl showed surprise on her face, and without caring about the serious occasion, she lifted her skirt and ran towards Shichen.

The hem of the light yellow dress swayed lightly, her feet in high heels stepped on the carpet, her hair was neatly combed and shining with golden light, her red pupils were curved at the corners of her eyes, and her smiling mouth revealed naughty fangs.

“Feit, long time no see.” Toki called out the name of the girl who had changed drastically.

"Long time no see, big brother!" Firut ran in front of Shichen, stopped, twisted uncomfortably, and looked shy.

Shi Chen smiled, squatted down slightly, reached out his hand, and rubbed her little head.

"how are things?"

“It’s okay…but Reinhard is a bit annoying. He made me learn a lot of nonsense.” Felt pursed her lips and answered softly.

The reserved look of this girl was completely different from her previous image in the stolen goods vault.

"Really? He's doing this for your own good, come on." Shi Chen encouraged softly.

“Hmm…” Felt’s face flushed as she nodded.

Anyone could tell from her look that her attitude towards time was different, but no one present wanted to care about it.

"Lady Ferult." Reinhard called the girl's name at this time, and his attitude seemed quite respectful.

“Reinhard, why did you call me here? If I hadn’t met my big brother, I would have definitely scolded you for making me wear such cumbersome clothes!”

Firut turned to Reinhard and questioned him with a very rude attitude, which was completely different from the attitude she had shown to her little daughter when she was facing Shichen just now.

She used to live in the slums, wearing dirty clothes that looked like rags, with dull blonde hair and violent eyes.

But now, the dress is so bright and beautiful that she looks no different from a noble daughter.

And the light she radiates does not belong to Emilia and the others.

“Feirut, this dress suits you very well. Be nicer to Reinhard, he must be doing this for your own good.” Shichen stroked her shiny golden hair and persuaded her.

“Eh? I understand what you said, big brother… Reinhardt, please explain it to me.”

"Yes!"

Reinhard responded respectfully, then smiled at Shichen to express his gratitude before explaining.

“Master Felt, let’s renew our friendship with an old friend first. Please come here.”

Firut looked back at Shichen before walking over and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Please take this first."

Reinhardt took out the Dragon Badge from his bosom with a serious expression and handed it to her.

Felt took it, and the gem immediately emitted a shining white light.

"What's going on with this stone? Why is it glowing?" Firut couldn't help but ask.

“That’s because Lord Felt has been deemed qualified by the dragon,” Reinhard replied.

"Recognized by the dragon? Qualified?" Firut still didn't understand.

"Dragon Ball has indeed recognized Lady Felt as a priestess. Now that the dragon has agreed to her participation, it can be considered that the royal election this time has truly begun." Marcus suddenly interrupted, putting his hand on his chest and bowing slightly.

Reinhard followed suit, and all the Knight Guards followed suit.

The Knights put a lot of effort into it and finally found the fifth candidate for king.

Firut stood there in confusion and could only look to Shichen for help. He felt relieved when he saw him smile and nod at him.

With the big brother who saved her life around, there would definitely be no problem. Besides, the big brother said that she would be able to help the people in the slums in the future.

Felt didn’t believe Reinhard yet, but when he saved her life, she believed him absolutely.

"Excuse me, but can you please say something?" At this time, a man walked out from the civil service group.

He was a hunchbacked middle-aged man with dark circles under his eyes. He was stroking his beard with a calm expression.

"What's the matter?" Marcos asked.

"During this ceremony of electing the king, the dedication of the Royal Guard Knights and the Knights of the Kingdom is beyond reproach. Without you, we would not have been able to rectify the situation in such a short time."

“That’s really great…”

"But! Although I really don't want to say this, even though we are following the situation revealed by the Dragon Calendar Stone, aren't there some problems with the selection of personnel?" The man interrupted Marcus with a hint of meaning.

"what do you mean?"

"Everyone is too focused on the qualifications of the Dragon Priestess, but forgets that the qualifications to wear the crown are the key. This aspect has been neglected too much!"

The man had an arrogant look on his face and a reprimanding tone in his voice, and the group of civil servants behind him immediately echoed him.

"Yes! Yes!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed across the man's face, and he continued, "The covenant with the dragon is more important than anything else. It is related to the survival of the pro-dragon kingdom of Lugnica. Without the covenant, the country cannot be formed. However, over-emphasizing the covenant and neglecting the people is simply putting the cart before the horse!"

"Are you saying that the Dragon Priestess that our Knights have spent so much effort searching for has mistakenly identified the right person to swear allegiance to?" Marcus understood what he meant, his eyes and tone were cold.

"Well... there are some differences in the way they are said, but it will turn out like that." The man seemed to be frightened by Marcos Wei, but he still answered bravely.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall became tense, and the members of the Knights became visibly angry.

How could they be in a good mood when the task they had completed with so much effort was denied like this?

The civil service groups were not afraid of the anger of the Knights and began to express their dissatisfaction.

"She is both a miko and a king. Perhaps it is better to say that she is not aware enough to be a king."

"Yes, even if you embellish your appearance, your true nature will still be revealed in your attitude."

"Without character and education, can one be supported as a king?"

"Well, well, what's wrong with that? Wouldn't it be a fun and unique competition for the king? Why not try to think like that?"

"Sir Rozwaal, please don't interrupt!"

Rozwaal was interrupted just as he was about to make a joke. The civil servants' bad attitude was directed at Firut, but it also affected others.

Emilia remained silent, trying to hold back her emotions. She bit her lower lip and couldn't help but look at Shichen.

But he was looking at himself with a smile.

Seeing his smile, Emilia somehow calmed down and didn't care about anything anymore.

However, Shi Chen did not care about nothing. These people were indeed targeting Firut. As long as they targeted Emilia in the slightest, he would take action.

These people have been in high positions for so long that they don’t even know what fear is.

"Silence." Suddenly, Miklotov gave an order, and the hall suddenly became silent.

Miklotov, who was suppressing the whole scene, narrowed his eyes and looked at Felt. After a moment of silence, he let out a breath.

"I understand His Highness Li Kelt's opinion, so let's first take a brief look at the past experiences of each candidate... What do you think?"

"That makes sense... Let's start from there to see if we are suitable for the position."

The leading male civil servant named Li Kelt nodded and said, "Knight Reinhard, can you tell me how you found her?"

"Yes."

Reinhard knelt on one knee in the highest salute and began to explain.

“I found Lady Felt about a month ago in the lower part of the capital, in the so-called slums. At that time, I noticed her for some reason and discovered her identity. After bringing her back to my humble abode, I confirmed that she was qualified to be a miko.”

Reinhardt naturally would not reveal Firut's identity as a thief, nor did he explain that it was a reminder of the time.

This is unnecessary.

The people present would not care about those, but the other meaningless parts.

"An orphan from the slums?! Are you serious? Knight Reinhard! You brought an orphan to the ceremony to select the king of the future Lugnica!? What do you think of the throne?"

"..." Reinhardt, who was kneeling on one knee, seemed not to care about being scolded, and his expression did not change at all.

Li Kelt had no choice but to turn his attention to Miklotov: "Lord Miklotov, you really should reconsider... Just being chosen by the Dragon Ball qualifies you for the throne... It should be someone who is worthy of the crown, how can you just... "

"Your Highness Rickert, are you a little too excited?"

It was Rozwaal who interrupted.

Li Kelt immediately showed hostility towards Roswaal: "What a joke, Lord Roswaal, your attitude is really incomprehensible. Not only me, but most people in the palace think so... Until now, we have turned a blind eye because it is an extraordinary period, but the situation is different now. Not to mention the Astraea family who intends to nominate the orphan, it is your stupidity to support the half-demon as king..."

Om-!

Before Li Kaierte could finish his words, the air pressure in the hall dropped again. Except for a few people, everyone bowed their heads and hunched over again, feeling so depressed that they could not breathe. He was even forced to lie on the ground, spitting blood.
