A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 11. Chapter 11

It happened so suddenly that many people couldn’t react to it all of a sudden.

There was a sudden silence in the hall for a second, and then…

“Master Xiemuer!”

“Xiemuer!”

“Your Excellency–”

A child’s misfortune caused the originally quiet hall to jump up instantly.

The crowd rushed over and greeted the priest. More servants came over, panicking and trying to wipe off the ink on Xiemur’s body. Of course, he would only wipe the light-colored robes on Xiemur’s body more and more dirty.

Someone wanted to blame the culprit, but the kid who got into the trouble seemed to be frightened, staying there stupidly, wide-eyed looking at their small appearances, and it was difficult to speak again.

They are all heirs of the royal blood, and they are still ignorant children who can’t fight or punish them. I’m afraid Master Xiemuer can only admit that he is unlucky.

It’s just that this kid must have no role in becoming the king’s brother.

In the nervous interrogation of the crowd, Xiemur frowned and waved his hand to push the nervous servant away. He looked at his clothes soiled with ink, and then at the child who looked at him stupidly.

The child looked at him with his eyes wide open, watery and foggy in his eyes, as if he would cry if he spoke a little louder, and looked pitiful and cute, which was really soft.

Although Xiemur didn’t criticize the kid’s plan, but I don’t know why, Xiemur just felt that what happened just now was not an accident. The kid splashed ink all over him on purpose.

Because he had been staring at the child’s eyes, he saw that before the child stretched out his hand, the golden pupil suddenly turned a few times flexibly.

It wasn’t at all like the nervous look at seeing him approaching, it was obviously a look with some horrible idea.

Immediately afterwards, his clothes suffered.

…………

Yes, Gallan did it on purpose.

I am the bear child and I am the eldest!

Gallan felt that if he didn’t rely on his status as a child to add obstacles to Xiemur, he would probably never have another chance in the future.

A serious and serious person like Xiemur is definitely not good at caring about children who are not sensible. At most, he has a bad impression of himself-anyway, he didn’t want to be selected to be the king’s brother, so Xiemur didn’t like him. That’s just right. So when he saw Xiemur standing across from his table, he immediately made up his mind, and he wanted to take the opportunity to let out this breath, and Xiemur disgusted himself.

one stone two bird.

At this moment, he opened a pair of big eyes innocently looking at Xiemur who was staring at him.

I’m just a child.

Idle child.

Blinking his eyes lightly, Garlan said to Sheemur with an innocent look, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he looked like he would not cry.

The child’s body is so easy to use, the tears can seep out.

He thought, if Xiemur really dared to reprimand him here, he would immediately cry.

Face?

Haha, what kind of face do you want? He just relied on his identity as a child, regardless of the noise, as long as he could embarrass Xie Muer, his goal would be achieved.

However, although he thought well, the other party might not follow his script. He looked at Xiemuer with his watery eyes wide open, and said with his eyes, he came to teach me, scold me and scold me——

But Xiemu Er only asked the servant to wipe the ink splashed on his arm, and then motioned to the servant to wipe the table and the ground clean, and it seemed that he had no intention of teaching him.

Is my little poor expression acting too far?

Gallan began to reflect on himself deeply.

A slender finger stretched over, and Xiemur stared at Garlan, knocked on the table that had been wiped clean, and touched Garlan’s parchment with his fingertips.

Everyone noticed that the parchment was also poured with ink, and more than half of it was dyed black, and the remaining half was spotted with ink marks, and it was impossible to use it again.

“Would you like to change him a copy?”

One person asked.

Xie Muer glanced at the child and shook his head.

“According to the regulations, everyone has only one chance.”

Children who cannot even protect their own possessions are even less likely to pin the future of this country on them. Therefore, Xiemuer only prepared the parchment corresponding to the number of candidates at the beginning, and there was no spare.

Now that the child’s paper is destroyed, it means he has lost this opportunity.

Although the selection test is not only this one, in addition to the knowledge test, there are also various tests such as bow riding, fighting, case judgments, etc., and finally consider comprehensively. But the disqualification of the knowledge item is basically equivalent to being excluded from the candidate.

And looking at the child’s frail appearance, I am afraid that he would fail in the test of playing against people and some subsequent dangerous tests. Let him get out early to avoid injury in those dangerous tests.

It succeeded.

As soon as Xie Mul’s words came out, Garlan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheemer is his teacher, so he is very familiar with this person.

The priest of Shamash said that it is better to be serious and self-disciplined, observing order and rules, and doing everything in a straightforward manner, and no deviation is allowed.

But Garland knew-that is actually a so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder!

It is precisely because of this person’s obsessive-compulsive disorder that Gallan can guess that this person will never prepare a spare test paper-if there is a problem with the test paper, she will be sentenced to be out of the game.

Therefore, he deliberately pretended to accidentally dirty his test papers and made this grade completely abolished. In this way, he would not have to think hard about how to make himself outstanding in various tests. Achievements.

and……

This and put it later, as the first candidate to be out in the eyes of everyone, Gallan was extremely calm in the eyes of other teenagers secretly watching or gloating or mocking.

That’ll be fine.

He thought so, but he still had to pretend to be on the surface. Therefore, he showed a small obedient appearance, watching the attendant step forward and put away his black-stained parchment with a look that he wanted to say but didn’t dare to say.

Then, he showed a little timid expression again, looked at Xie Muer and spoke in a low voice.

“Can I leave here?”

The child looked at Xie Muer weakly and asked.

Xie Muer glanced at him blankly.

“Sit down.”

After speaking, he turned and walked to the front. The lips were tightly pressed and looked very unpleasant. Everyone thought he was unhappy because he was offended by the kid. Seeing that the low air pressure that exudes was almost all substantive.

It’s rare to see Her Excellency Sheemur so angry.

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Garlan, who was left behind by Sheemur and as the culprit, lowered her head, looking like a well-behaved appearance.

No one saw his lowered face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the little foot happily circled under the table.

Everyone thought that Xiemur was so angry because he was offended. Only Garlan knew that Xiemur didn’t care about the offense of a child like him.

And the real reason why Sheemur exudes that almost substantive low pressure is–

The priest was holding back the soiled clothes on his body with great perseverance.

Yes, others don’t know, but Gallan does.

This priest is not only obsessive-compulsive, but also has a strong habit of cleanliness.

He washes twice every morning and night, and takes a bath more frequently than he does. Although he is a facial paralysis, he usually doesn’t show much expression, but Garlan, who is often with Xiemul, has seen it more than once. As long as a little dust is accidentally stained on his robe, Xiemul can’t help but frown. An unbearable look flashed across his eyes.

Later, Garlan was curious for a while, and checked the date of Xia Xiemu’er’s birth.

……Very good, it really is a Virgo.

Even if it was only stained with dust, Xiemuer couldn’t bear it, so now he was splashed with black ink, and as the host of this exam, his sense of responsibility for obsessive-compulsive disorder did not allow him to leave early.

Therefore, he can only hold back the filth on his body and continue to stand here now.

Seeing Xiemur’s frowning and gloomy expression at the moment, he must be very uncomfortable at the moment.

very good.

Sheemur was uncomfortable, and Garlan said he was happy.

Although he didn’t plan to do anything else in this life, the king’s brother would be involved with Xiemur and Heimos, but before leaving, he felt that as an ignorant bear kid, he would take revenge on Xiemur. OK.

Galan was content to take revenge on his original teacher who had a hygienic disorder.

However, now he has to pretend to be good, so he can only sit down at the bluestone table that has been cleaned up and doesn’t do anything.

Gallan was sitting on the last table. He was the only one. Looking forward from behind, he could see all the other candidates. He was sitting in a chair with his toes swaying boringly. He was really idle and had nothing to do, so he secretly looked at Heimos, who was not far from him.

The black-haired boy was still writing quickly, and Garland vaguely saw that the parchment was almost full of writing. It seemed that Heimos should have achieved good results on this academic test.

Well, yes, after all, he was one of the two king brothers who were finally elected.

…………

What else does he want to do?

Shaking his head, Garlan threw all the king brother, Heimos, and Sheemer out of his mind.

All of this has nothing to do with him anymore.

He will leave this city tomorrow, and then he will never set foot here again.

He will completely forget these things and forget them completely.

Looking away from the direction of the group of young candidates who were struggling to write, Garlan turned his head and looked in the other direction. Through the spacious hall, through the standing columns, you can see the endless blue sky, and the outline of the blue sea can be seen faintly.

He looked at the vast world and the white birds passing by in the sky.

He thought, that was his brand new life.

This world, this land, has countless things that he doesn’t know.

Perhaps, after his body grows up, it is a good idea to travel around this land unfettered.

Just like this, dreaming about this future that belongs only to him, the future he can live on, the corner of the child’s mouth couldn’t help but show a little smile.

………………

…………………………

The hall was very quiet, only the rustle of writing was uninterrupted.

After the farce just ended, all the candidates bowed their heads deeply and put all their minds on the examination papers in front of them, even the always stubborn little fat man-although his parchment was at least Half of them are blank.

The priest of Shamash stood in the middle, his face calm and motionless.

The light-colored robe is smeared with several ink marks from the chest to the soles of the feet. At first glance, it looks like a special black pattern has been deliberately embroidered on the robe.

The low pressure he exudes made everyone stand a little farther away from him subconsciously, and then everyone’s eyes slowly swept across the young candidates. They evaluated and judged these candidates with their own eyes, and wanted to guess who the final winner would be.

No one cared about the blond child sitting in a daze at the last long stone table.

For everyone, that child is already a discarded child, and there is no need to waste their energy and time.

That child is already useless.

In this silence, suddenly, there was a snap.

It was the low footsteps made by the soles of heavy boots stepping on the bluestone slab.

The hall where there were some small conversations was silent for a moment.

Someone came through the gate of the main hall.

The blazing sun swarmed on the tall man, making the man seem to be coming from a flame of light.

At this moment, everyone stood in awe, even the teenagers who answered the question panicked and stood up.

At this moment, the needle could be heard quietly in the hall.

When the man strode over, everyone bowed their heads respectfully.

The man came from the blazing sun, his side was like a roaring wind, passing his short brown hair, and the fiery red cloak that fell from one of his shoulders was high behind his broad shoulders. It flew high, like an endless red flame burning behind him.

He is like a lion with a thick mane undulating in the wind, proudly stepping into his territory.

King Camos, King of Aaron Landis, a young and fearless king, an invincible hero on the battlefield.

His bravery and strength make everyone who see him admire him.

His greatness made all his subjects willingly surrender to his feet.

At this moment, everyone stood up, bowed their heads to this heroic king, and paid high respect to him. However, the only place on the side of the bluestone table was looking at the child sitting still outside the sky outside.

King Camos looked at the child who hadn’t stood up to greet him. His golden brown eyes were like the pupils of a lion, as sharp as scorching coals.

Xiemur frowned, the others held their breath, and everyone did not dare to take a breath.

Defeated in front of the king, ignored the king’s majesty…

Even a ignorant child cannot easily forgive him.

…………

Looking at the bright sky outside the hall, Garlan, who was in a trance, suddenly heard footsteps.

The loud and steady footsteps seemed extremely abrupt in the silent hall, and he turned around subconsciously when he felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly a gust of wind whistled in front of him, and the flame-like cloak flew high and passed in front of him.

The golden eyes widened suddenly, and a familiar face was reflected in the child’s pupils.

What suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment was the brown-haired young man who appeared in front of him with the lion yesterday.

A pair of big hands stretched over, reached under his arms, and grabbed him.

He was lifted aloft by the tall, brown-haired young man in astonishment.

“From now on, you are my king brother!”

The young and powerful Wang said loudly, before everyone else, the final word was finalized.

He lifted the little child high above his head.

He raised his head and looked at the child’s large, bright golden pupils. In the eyes of everyone nearby, King Camos gave Garlan a bright smile.

“I Camos swear by the glory that the gods bestow on me, I will protect you as I protect my kingdom, Aaron Landis.”

The brown hair was flying in the air like a lion’s mane. Among the flying golden brown hair, the young Wang Chong grinned at the child he raised.

His snow-white teeth were exposed in the sun, and his sturdy arms, his bronzed skin glowed darkly in the sun.

On his tough face, the bright smile was like the shining brilliance of the legendary sun god Shamash.

“I take my supreme throne, under the gaze of the gods, hereby swear an oath—”

This was the moment witnessed by the gods, and the strong and loud voice of the young king resounded across the sky.

“I will fight for you and Aaron Landis, and I will guard you until my life returns to the hands of the gods!”
