A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 278 A Successful Plan?

The crown prince was telling stories upstairs, while Jiang Shuzhou and others were frantically sabotaging him from inside the tower.

This gave Trunk a good talking-to. He had experienced all of this firsthand. The old man was actually from the Empire, but he had run away with his parents to the Mage Alliance when he was young.

Therefore, he always paid special attention to the empire.

"In short, everything he said was a lie."

This is Trank's summary.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in agreement.

But as the saying goes, the worse the empire becomes, the happier Jiang Shuzhou is.

After talking for a while, Crown Prince Midtas finally got to the point.

"Now, please welcome my father, the Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty the Great Chaosco Augustus, to the stage!"

After speaking, Midtas stepped down, and an extremely old figure slowly walked up, supported by Rosemary.

That was Chaosko, the current emperor of the empire, who had reached the end of his life.

This emperor, who was once full of vigor and incredibly young not long ago, is now extremely old and needs help to walk.

The price of inheriting the throne is unimaginable.

"I have always been the emperor of the empire. Now that I am getting old, it is time to find a successor."

"And this heir, whom you have met many times, is Midtas. He will take over the power and authority from me and become the new emperor of the Ovi Empire!"

A cheer erupted from the audience.

"At the same time, Rosemary, my daughter and one of my only two living children, will also receive the treatment she deserves."

"I hereby declare Rosemary Augustus to be granted the title of Princess!"

The power of the covenant was revealed, and Rosemary became a princess.

The applause from the audience continued to thunder.

Jiang Shuzhou realized something.

With only two children, could this woman possibly...?

Midtas seemed unsurprised; to him, it was just a normal thing. Today, he was the emperor, while Rosemary was merely a prince.

What can she do? And what does she dare to do?

"Midtas, come on up."

"Yes, Father."

Midtas heard his father's call, smiled slightly, and then walked onto the stage.

"I want to see you one last time before I die."

When the legendary knight's power within the emperor is passed on, the old emperor will die, and the new emperor will inherit everything.

"Father."

Midtas stood quietly before Chaosko, staring directly at the aged old emperor, his eyes burning with a blazing fire of ambition.

"Do a good job, and remember, make the Empire great again."

Kaosko gave instructions.

"Father, the empire has always been great."

Midtas responded.

"Let the covenant begin."

Without saying much, Chaosko directly invoked the power of the Covenant.

Everyone present could feel the arrival of a massive consciousness.

Everyone was suppressed, except for Jiang Shuzhou and his group.

"Oh."

Even the Marquis of Xuandi, who had just tried to recruit Jiang Shuzhou, was suppressed, which made him sneer.

The imperial guards around them kept a close eye on Jiang Shuzhou and his group, preventing them from doing anything wrong.

Jiang Shuzhou ignored them and ate the wine and meat that had been prepared for him.

I didn't eat it before because I was waiting for this moment.

Rosemary will be starting soon.

"This is the last time I hope that you siblings can get along well."

"Caosco said."

"Don't worry, Dad, I will."

Rosemary said with a smile.

"Father, of course I will."

Midtas also said.

"Alas, life is only a hundred years long, it's really not enough."

Chaosko sighed, and finally, he turned to dust and vanished.

His power was concentrated in the crown.

Wearing it will make you the emperor of the empire.

However, the crown is restricted; only Midas can obtain it.

"Brother, please."

Rosemary said.

"Oh, my father... well, I will definitely carry on his legacy."

After saying that, Midtas reached out and picked up the crown, intending to put it on.

However, a dagger pierced through the protection of the alliance and plunged straight into his heart.

Normally, ordinary weapons wouldn't be able to harm him, because of the Covenant's protection; even a legendary weapon like Midas was something he was confident he could withstand.

But this weapon is different; it absorbs the power of the abyss and has the ability to disrupt order.

Covenants are the embodiment of countless forces of order.

"You, haha, good, very good, I'll remember that. But if I can't have you, you can't have you either."

"I hereby declare that after my death, anyone may wear the crown and become the Emperor of the Ovi Empire, except for one person: you, Rosemary!"

After saying this, Midtas actually threw the crown directly at the feet of Jiang Shuzhou and the others.

This is an empire.

He then died laughing maniacally.

However, this does not mean that he is completely dead. The alliance can still revive him, after all, he is the crown prince and will always receive preferential treatment.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't even glance at it. He didn't want this kind of trash. Picking it up would shorten his life by hundreds or even thousands of years. Only an idiot would want it.

Morris didn't even glance at it; such things held no appeal for him.

Trank was somewhat tempted, but he held back. He had long been prepared to dedicate his life to the truth, and he wanted to live longer. There were still many unknowns and unsolved mysteries.

Thus, the crown that others treasured and even risked their lives for was completely ignored by Jiang Shuzhou and his two companions.

The covenant binds power, preparing to resurrect Midas. Rosemary walks towards Jiang Shuzhou and the others.

"What are you planning to do? Right now, the Covenant doesn't support you. Anyone else can wear it, but you can't."

"It seems Princess Rosemary might be torn to pieces. After all, no matter who it is, you won't have an easy time."

Jiang Shuzhou said with great interest.

"No, this crown is only for the two of us to wear. Now that he's dead, it's mine."

"But Midttas is about to win the repechage."

Jiang Shuzhou was too lazy to investigate whether this thing was usable or not. In any case, he couldn't use it for himself right away, and he couldn't take it out of the empire to give to others.

He will not come back to life.

However, a violent spatial fluctuation caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

Jiang Shuzhou suddenly had a sense of familiarity.

It's the Abyss, the Abyss portal has invaded.

Jiang Shuzhou understood now.

Rosemary's plan was originally doomed to fail, but now she had a chance.

"What a ruthless heart. It seems you are indeed a qualified emperor."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, which was taken as an affirmation of Rosemary.

The invasion of the abyss seemed to have no effect on Jiang Shuzhou's enjoyment of the show.

After all, this is the capital of the empire, and besides, Jiang Shuzhou didn't come in person.
