Chapter 278 Guest Appearance - King of Holy Paradise
[The Order of the Gods: A cameo role in the world of Dragon Nest—King of Sacred Paradise.]
[Mission Requirements: (I) Defeat the evil black dragon. (II) Become a legendary human king.]
Looking at the new tasks that appeared.
Su Ming lit a cigarette and pondered for a moment.
"Dragon Nest, defeat the Black Dragon?"
"To become a legendary king."
He thought these two tasks seemed quite simple.
"Order accepted."
Without hesitation, Su Ming accepted the order.
Swish~!
He was taken away by a beam of light.
————
The continent of Altera.
In the sacred heaven, within the royal palace.
Su Ming opened his eyes in the palace; he had already arrived in the mission world.
This is the sacred paradise, the capital of the human kingdom.
He was in the royal palace.
It was this young king, Cassius, who was in this generation.
A water mirror technique allows one to see their own reflection.
Now he has red hair, wears a crown, and is dressed in a red royal robe, still looking the same as before.
This time, he also made a cameo appearance in person.
"Yes, there is currently internal strife among humans. Priests and mages are divided, and the mages have gone to Lotus Swamp."
Su Ming was organizing the information from his memories.
They quickly figured out the basic situation of this world.
The main powers on the continent are the human kingdom, the elven kingdom, and countless monsters led by the black dragon.
"An elf, huh? Pretty nice."
Su Ming's eyes lit up; he was very interested in the elves.
This is the first time I've encountered a world with elves, so of course I want to have a lot of fun.
As a human king, is it alright for him to marry an elf?
"Your Majesty, General Douglas requests your presence."
Just then, a guard came to report.
"Okay, I understand. Lead the way."
Su Ming nodded slightly and followed the guard into the main hall of the palace.
Upon arrival, one sees a general with white hair and beard standing there.
"His Majesty!"
Douglas bowed slightly in greeting.
Su Ming sat on the throne, waved his hand and said, "General, there's no need for such formalities. Tell me, what brings you here?"
Douglas bowed and said, “Your Majesty, you have come of age and it is time to choose a queen to continue the royal bloodline.”
"Ok?"
Su Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, then realized that his current identity was that of a newly adult, and he did not yet have a princess or queen.
He has only been on the throne for a year, since the previous king passed away.
"Does the general have any objections?"
Su Ming nodded and did not refuse.
Marrying the queen is a wonderful thing; of course, he wouldn't refuse.
Douglas was prepared and handed over a file with both hands.
"Your Majesty, look, this is the information I have prepared on young women from various noble families. You can choose whichever one you like."
Hearing his words, Su Ming felt somewhat puzzled.
You're a great general, not a pimp.
They actually introduced women from various noble families to the king. Could it be that the nobles jointly proposed this?
Douglas has a long history of loyalty to the royal family and can be trusted.
"Lena, isn't she your adopted daughter?"
Su Ming looked at the first page with a strange expression.
It was Lena, Douglas's adopted daughter, a pampered aristocratic young lady.
"Your Majesty, if you like it, you may take it; if you don't, then just pretend you don't have it."
Douglas remained calm, as if it were a trivial matter.
Su Ming flipped through the documents with a strange expression; there were photos and detailed information.
Each and every one of them was a noble lady.
But these noble ladies were aloof and had terrible tempers.
After looking through a whole bunch of them, I found they were all owned by nobles.
Some of them are indeed beautiful, but considering the information I recall, it's clear that the aristocratic forces already have irreconcilable conflicts with the royal family.
To gain complete control, these aristocratic forces must be eliminated.
Therefore, marriage alliances with nobles were impossible.
"My queen must be someone who can fight and is powerful. What use are pampered vases?"
Su Ming threw the documents in his hand to the ground.
Douglas was somewhat surprised and asked, "Then Your Majesty, you must at least marry a queen, as continuing the royal bloodline is your primary task."
"I don't find it appealing."
Su Ming waved his hand, then asked, "General, you are loyal to the royal family. Tell me honestly, which women are both beautiful and possess formidable strength?"
"Uh~~" Douglas looked a little dazed.
He looked at his king and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, your requirements are a bit high, but there are some candidates."
“But—” he hesitated for a moment.
Su Ming waved his hand and said, "Just tell me, I'll listen."
"Ok."
Douglas bowed respectfully and then replied, “Your Majesty, Karacho is the daughter of Deldri Peorista, the leader of the magicians’ corps in Lotus Swamp.”
"She is a genius magician and very beautiful, which meets your requirements."
At this point, Douglas carefully added, "It's just that after the conflict and division between our royal priests and magicians, the relationship between the two sides became strained."
This is a historical issue.
Internal conflicts among humans are normal.
The mage order thus split off.
Su Ming smiled upon hearing this and said, "Karacho, a magical genius, very good, this is the kind of woman I like."
"Perfect timing! I will marry Karaqiu, the daughter of the Mage Guild Leader. This marriage will not only ease tensions between the two sides but also greatly enhance the strength of the royal family."
This is his decision and his thoughts.
Douglas was stunned. You really dare to think that way.
Even if you are the king, will the leader of the magicians' guild agree to it?
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid this matter—” Douglas wanted to say something more.
Su Ming interrupted with a wave of his hand, saying, "This matter is decided. I will marry Karaqiu, the daughter of the mage captain, and form a marriage alliance with the mages of Lotus Swamp."
"You shall immediately take my decree and bring lavish gifts to the Lotus Swamp to present the betrothal gifts."
After he finished speaking, he tossed a decree to Douglas, and that was the end of it.
Douglas was both amused and exasperated, and wanted to offer some advice.
But the king was determined to marry Karach, this magical girl genius.
Why not give it a try? What if it actually works?
This would be equivalent to the royal family marrying the daughter of the magician's captain, thus easing tensions between the two sides.
The king is such a clever little devil.
"As you command, my king."
Douglas solemnly accepted the order and then went to prepare to handle the matter.
When the news spread, the entire Holy Paradise was in an uproar.
This young king is actually going to marry the daughter of the magician's captain?
"absurd!"
"It's just nonsense."
"How can a king marry a magician instead of a noblewoman?"
"That was absolutely wrong."
“We must write a joint letter to the king to rescind this absurd decision.”
The nobles of the capital city were immediately on edge.
They were originally waiting for a marriage alliance with the king, but the king, lacking any martial virtue, actually arranged a marriage with a magician's guild.
The nobles could not accept the king's sudden move after they had finally driven the magician away.
Whether he accepts it or not, Su Ming doesn't care.
He not only has to marry the magic prodigy Karaqiu, but also the elven princess for a marriage alliance.
He also wanted to marry a dragon princess from the dragon clan.
This is what a true king should do.
As for opposition?
Anyone who opposes us will be killed!
Anyone who tries to stop him from becoming a legendary human king will be killed.
