Chapter 239: Dragon Shrine Maiden... Male?
"...You guys really have no sense of humor."
Zun Zun tried to ease the awkwardness with a slightly helpless tone, but was met with everyone's 'You think that's funny?' gaze.
But thanks to Felt's prior example, it didn't provoke public anger and criticism.
Clap clap clap—
An abrupt applause echoed in the silent room.
Turning his head to look, it was Cai Yue Subaru. He once again sincerely sighed, "Human nature really doesn't change. I've confirmed it once again."
This guy is just as incorrigible.
He was almost sentenced just now, and now he dares to applaud in public... No, he's doing it on purpose.
Zun Zun saw the corner of Cai Yue Subaru's mouth raised. He probably wanted to pull him into the group and give the nobles and knights present something to think about.
"Thank you, Subaru. You are my best friend."
Even so, Zun Zun was very touched.
"Hmph." Priscilla snorted lightly upon seeing this and said haughtily, "The clown's performance is passable, so I'll give you a corresponding reward. Al, applaud."
"...Really?"
Even though Al was wearing a helmet and his face couldn't be seen clearly, one could feel his helplessness. He raised his one arm and shouted, "Princess, you're really asking too much of me. I really can't do that kind of thing."
"Can you still be considered my follower like this? Think of a way for me!"
"Think of a way..."
So, Al patted his belly.
Compared to Zun Zun, he was more like he was here to be funny, making Zun Zun willingly admit defeat.
Zun Zun quickly surveyed his surroundings.
The military uniform beauty, Ku'erxiu, the cotton candy little girl, Anna Anastasia, plus the silver-haired half-elf Emilia he knew, Felt who volunteered to become king, and the arrogant woman, Priscilla, who seemed to be helping him out.
These five were the royal selection candidates.
Then he saw Reinhard smiling to the side and couldn't help but glare at him. He originally thought that the Sword Saint was on the same side as him, but he didn't expect that he had also plotted against him.
Zun Zun's rash appearance did not cause a riot, or rather, it only caused a slight riot. Whether it was the knights or the civil officials, they all felt helpless about the originally sacred and solemn royal selection ceremony becoming like this, but they had to accept the status quo.
At this moment, he felt a strong gaze.
It came from the Council of Sages, the old man sitting in the center. When Zun Zun looked back, the other party shifted his gaze and spoke to the knights below.
"Reinhard, please explain."
"Yes. Then please allow me to boldly explain to you all."
Reinhard first took the Dragon Crest from Felt's hand and then handed it to Zun Zun.
"Before that, everyone, please look at this."
When Zun Zun reluctantly took the emblem, the gem on it seemed impatient and burst out with a strong light, condensing into a beam of light that reached the roof beams of the palace hall.
As the light became brighter and brighter and bigger and bigger, Zun Zun seemed unable to endure it any longer and rudely threw the emblem on the ground.
"—It's burning me to death!"
He shouted angrily.
Such an excessive act should have aroused criticism from the crowd, but they were completely stunned.
"...Hmm!?"
"How is this possible!?"
"Really!?"
Everyone present exclaimed in a low voice. Even the many elders of the Council of Sages were stunned by this.
Apart from Felt and Emilia, the remaining three royal selection candidates also felt miraculous. Although they could make the gems on the Dragon Crest emit light, in terms of size and brightness, they were completely inferior to Zun Zun, like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly.
If the next king was to be chosen based on who could make the gem emit the most light, then Zun Zun was undoubtedly the first.
A civil official shouted in disbelief.
"Could it be, the Dragon Shrine Maiden!?"
"But the prophecy only mentions five Dragon Shrine Maidens, yet a sixth one has appeared... Could the dragon be wrong?"
"What exactly is going on, Reinhard!?"
Zun Zun's appearance caused a great uproar.
The fifth Dragon Shrine Maiden could not be found no matter how hard they searched, but as soon as they found one, two appeared in succession.
"Please be calm, everyone." Reinhard said unhurriedly, "What follows is the key issue! In fact... Lord Zun Zun is male."
"Him? Male?"
"Are you saying... he has one?"
"Stop joking, Reinhard! You wouldn't be deliberately concealing the truth of this matter in order to promote Lord Felt, would you!? This lord looks like a woman no matter how you look at it!"
Seeing the civil officials shouting, Cai Yue Subaru raised his head to prevent the tears from the corners of his eyes from flowing down.
No wonder they misunderstood.
It was really too deceptive, just like Ferris.
Zun Zun also became angry all of a sudden. He grabbed the belt on his pants and shouted, "You bastard, how dare you question me!? Okay, watch me spray you in the face with a high-射炮!"
"Please don't do that, Lord Zun Zun."
Reinhard held down his action of taking off his pants and said loudly to the crowd, "I guarantee with my reputation that Lord Zun Zun is undoubtedly male!"
There was an uproar.
This shock was no less than the appearance of a sixth Dragon Shrine Maiden.
Ku'erxiu looked at Zun Zun and then at the smiling cat-eared man standing beside her and nodded seriously, "Just like Ferris, I'm actually not too surprised."
"Because Lord Ku'erxiu has me," the cat-eared man said with a smile.
Anna Anastasia slightly opened her small mouth wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak and only became more curious about Zun Zun.
As for the remaining three, they did not react.
After all, they knew from the beginning, and Priscilla even snorted lightly and said it was boring.
"Then what follows is the key issue."
The leading elder of the Council of Sages looked at Zun Zun and said to everyone, "How should we face this matter, and how should we treat this matter?"
Hmm.
The latest novels are at 6 9 书 吧!
When it came to this, everyone was slightly stunned.
Indeed, if there were no Zun Zun, then the five Dragon Shrine Maidens would have gathered and the royal selection ceremony would have officially begun. But now that there was an extra Zun Zun—a male who could make the gem shine—they had to consider whether this was a new revelation from the dragon and whether there was any deeper meaning in it.
The Dragon Bolkenica had saved the kingdom several times, and it had prospered with its help, and it was still taking care of them even now, so they had to consider the dragon's true intentions.
At this time, a thin-looking civil official raised his hand to signal.
"I believe that this lord cannot participate in the royal selection ceremony. First of all, let's not mention this lord's origins for the time being. Just the fact that he is male has already disqualified him from becoming a Dragon Shrine Maiden. Moreover, there has never been a saying of a Shrine Man in the kingdom's history."
As he spoke, some people nodded in agreement.
Only Shrine Maidens 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 official raised his hand and said loudly, "I think this may be an instruction that the dragon wants to issue. There must be some deeper meaning in this. We cannot ignore this point!"
After he spoke, everyone agreed.
This kingdom is a pro-dragon kingdom, and most people regard the dragon as a faith, so they also tend to agree with his statement.
"But there has never been a male who has become a Shrine Maiden!"
"Then how do you explain that light!?"
"It is possible that the dragon was deceived!"
"What are you saying? You're saying that our revered dragon made a mistake? How dare you be so disrespectful!?"
"I said deceived. Can't you understand what people are saying!?"
Led by these two civil officials, the remaining civil officials joined their respective recognized camps and cursed at each other. The civil official group should have been united against outsiders, but now only the people of the Knights Templar could remain calm.
Actually, that's not entirely true.
At least Al and Cai Yue Subaru could not remain calm.
"I say, senior."
"What's wrong, junior."
"Do you think the gap between people is a bit too big? Obviously, senior, you became a slave as soon as you came, and I also became a servant, but some people have transformed and are about to become royal selection candidates... Don't you think life is unfair?"
"I deeply agree. That kid must have a very good life."
Whether it was jealousy or displeasure, in short, the two had quite a few criticisms.
The leading elder of the Council of Sages was slightly silent seeing the palace hall once again turned into a noisy vegetable market, even though he had already guessed that it would turn into the current situation, he also had a headache.
Especially the person who caused the controversy was currently standing in the crowd joining the quarrel, and was even on the side of rejecting him from becoming a royal selection candidate.
"—Silence!"
The Knights Templar Commander Marcos waved his hand, and the members of the Royal Knights Templar stepped with neat and uniform footsteps, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the palace hall. Soon the scene became silent.
The civil officials looked at the elders of the Council of Sages on the stage with dissatisfied expressions, and slowly released their actions of correcting each other's hair and picking birds, and coughed lightly and restored their gentlemanly demeanor.
And Zun Zun, who had mixed in with them and picked birds several times, also quickly fled from there and returned to the front.
The elder of the Council of Sages glared at him unhappily.
Zun Zun stuck out his tongue.
Of course, the royal selection candidates also noticed his small actions. Their expressions were different. Felt gave a thumbs up as if to encourage him, as if to say he did a good job.
The two were birds of a feather.
At the same time, the elder of the Council of Sages said, "Everyone! This old man knows that this matter is very difficult to decide, but if this matter cannot be resolved now, then the royal selection ceremony will never officially begin, so please carefully consider making a suitable decision."
Usually speaking, such a major matter should be postponed for temporary discussion and careful deliberation, but the elder of the Council of Sages seemed to be planning to make a decision now.
In fact, others could also understand this sense of urgency. In the current kingdom where there was no leader and no royal leadership, they urgently needed to select the next king to quell the kingdom's turmoil.
However, everyone was now in trouble and didn't know what to do.
Just then—
"Let—this lord also participate in the royal selection, wouldn't that be good—"
The deliberately elongated tone made people frown.
"Lord Rozval?"
"A duke of this country, a merchant from a foreign country, a blood-colored bride, a slum urchin, a silver-haired half-elf... There are—so many distinctive royal selection candidates, adding—a male royal selection candidate recognized by the dragon seems—to make no difference, right."
Hearing Rozval say this, others then reacted. The Shrine Maidens chosen by the dragon seemed to all have problems.
