Not long after this happened, a shocking thing happened in the Ottore Empire.

Ottore XI abdicated and was replaced by the prince Dybala Ottore XII. As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. The nobles, in particular, were talking about it, not knowing what was going on. It would have made Ottore XI choose to abdicate so hastily.

Although Ottore XI had been in this position for sixty years, if he wanted to do it for another twenty years, it would be no problem. After all, people in this world generally live a long life, and if there is cultivation, then this time will come even longer.

Therefore, Ottore XI chose to abdicate so suddenly, which can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

The royalist nobles were naturally overjoyed, and everyone could see what Dybala Ottore had done over the years. Resolute, decisive, intelligent, and have a sense of the overall situation, these are undoubtedly excellent qualities for an emperor. And the abdication of Ottore XI, in the eyes of the royalists, was intended to liquidate those nobles.

After all, Dybala Ottore relied on the purge of those nobles who didn't know what to do to establish his reputation, and if this superior directly chose to have a bloody storm, then everyone would definitely not be surprised.

The rest of the nobility began to wonder why Ottore XI had done this. For a time, there was a lot of turmoil in the entire Ottore Empire.

But the royal family of Ottore has escaped from the limelight again, as if all this is just a joke by Ottore XI with everyone, but the news is conclusive, except for the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, at this moment many affairs of the empire have been taken over by Dybala Ottore.

It made the nobles unable to figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the Ottore royal family.

……

Raphael only laughed when he heard the news in Bloomerta. The thread of fate was pulled by itself again, and went in another direction.

The abdication of Ottore XI had never happened at the beginning, and now it was succeeded by Dybala Ottore, and it is not known what would happen.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Raphael said in a low voice, he still has some good feelings for Dybala Ottore, who can take over this heavy burden, and it is impossible to say that he will inject a dose of strength into this empire.

On the same day, Rafael received a gift from Dybala Ottore. There was even a royal domain near Bartholomew's area, although it wasn't very large. However, there is a medicine garden of the Ottore royal family, and the Abyss Royal Garden, which is known as the "treasure trove of materials".

This is not a big deal, and Raphael is not pretentious, and he directly pocketed it. The mental damage fee should still be taken, otherwise how can Raphael's unhappy mood be placed?

Eat people with a soft mouth and take people with short hands. Dybala Ottore was so good that Raphael didn't spread the true information about the Dolodo Fortress, but this kind of thing can't be contained in paper after all. It's up to the new emperor to make a comeback to salvage his reputation.

After all, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and it will have a very terrible negative effect on his prestige. If he was still just a prince, it could be said that he was a temporary defeat and a helpless move, in order to be able to save the lives of more people, this was the wisest choice at that time.

Yes, this kind of rhetoric will undoubtedly give him a good name. But at the moment the situation is different, as the emperor of the empire. If you flee without a fight, how do you make those subjects trust him? Will he just abandon them in the future to save his life?

This is the result of different locations.

Ottore XI's move was played too quickly, and Raphael caught the flaw and lost a lot of anger. And the breath is not clear, so naturally there is no other way out. Raphael didn't expect Ottore XI to be so decisive and abdicate to make way for Xian.

Ottore XI can indeed be regarded as a hero, and this kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.

……

"I'd love to see what happens, but I can't see it for myself."

Elliot Hazlitt didn't disappoint, and actually brought a batch of she-dragons to Bloometta to welcome Raphael back.

His actions almost caused Bloomerta's crystal cannon to fire at them, which added another to Raphael's title, 'Dragon Lord'. Because in the Ottore Empire, I really haven't heard of a lord with so many dragons under his command.

"Alas~ It seems that I underestimated this person again." Dybala Ottore stood on the city wall, looking at the dragons flapping their wings and leaving, and his heart was full of emotion. If my father had been able to pay homage to Corporal Xian, perhaps the current situation would have changed dramatically. It's just that the matter has come to this, and it seems that in the future, we still have to think about how to get along with each other.

It should be difficult to make friends in the short term, and the crack between the two is not so easy to repair.

"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the front, and the orc team has entered the Kariz Rift." A personal guard came in a hurry, and the verbal information was not good. But there is also something to be happy about, and that is that the army of the undead has stopped advancing.

I don't know if it was something that happened between them, but it was a great opportunity for Dybala Ottore to fight back.

"Ordering the troops there to launch a counterattack will be my first feat on the throne!" The robes behind Dybala Ottore waved towards the teleportation circle, and the shame could only be washed away with blood.

……

Christina Nidham, as in history, gave up the crown of the imperial female general and chose to follow Dalena. As for how Dalena's fate will develop next, Raphael actually has no idea in his heart. Will she be able to become 'Lady of the Mist' again? There were other chances, and that was really not something Raphael could have predicted.

"She's really good. can afford the praise of His Royal Highness. Iyeft Abraham sat beside Raphael, glanced at the four Dalena above a red dragon, and spoke in praise.

"It's just that I'm a little confused now, and I don't know how to train her. Her growth has been very fast, but it is still a little worse than I expected. I don't know where her future should be. Raphael opened his eyes and looked at the four excited faces, after all, they were all riding a dragon for the first time.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be confused about this, everyone has their own different fate. Who knows what their future holds? Like those gladiators, they may die tomorrow in the mouths of monsters or opponents, but they are still full of hope for tomorrow. We may all be like this, and we can only move forward when we are confused, right? ”

Iyeft Abraham looked at Raphael with a pair of wonderful eyes, and spoke softly.

"This is what the Emperor taught me at the beginning, and it may be of some help to His Highness."

It is also said that instead of lamenting the bumpy road ahead, it is better to move forward. It's that I'm too obsessed. As Raphael listened to this, he felt his heart open.

Even if Dalena can't be the 'Misty Lady', so what? It's a big deal, isn't it okay to give a godly position to the other party at that time? What some people lack is not strength, but only that opportunity. If fate is stingy, then why not let him give generously?

……

Elliott Hazlitt was much faster than a gnome's airship, less than half the time it took to make the same trip. The only flaw is the lack of on-call meals and service.

"Take a break in Bartholomew today, and if you want to return to Yuki, tell me. It's already in the territory, so there's no need to worry. Raphael said a word to the four of them, and saw Van Persie who came in a hurry.

"Yes." Dalena and Leticia nodded, and Prisra Theresa and Christina Nidham were interested in the city, and they all looked sideways. After all, this is where they will survive in the future.

After so many years in Bloomerta, I felt all kinds of prosperity. Although this city is not comparable, it has an indescribable aura, and perhaps their next task is to find the source of this aura.

"Did something happen?" Looking at Van Persie, Raphael asked out loud. Van Persie is very stable on weekdays, and rarely appears to be in such a hurry, it seems that something has happened during the time he left. And it's certainly a bad thing!

"During the period of His Highness's departure, there were a series of missing people in the city. At first we thought it was some ignorant guy who was retaliating against our previous cleanup. But we searched the whole city, but we didn't find a single clue. ”

They've been busy with this for days, but nothing has worked. The criminals even stepped up a bit, as if mocking their behavior.

"No clues? Have you had the temple personnel assist in the investigation? Raphael frowned slightly, that didn't sound like good news. The inexplicable disappearance of the population is a big deal. Some cults seized the inhabitants for sacrificial acts, and Raphael's territory had just been integrated and was an easy target.

So Raphael's first thought was that these pagans were getting in the way, and if so, he should be more vigilant. These madmen do everything.

"Yes, but they didn't find any useful information. Those who disappeared seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace. Van Persie nodded, this kind of thing is really unspeakably weird. They can be said to have used all the personnel at their disposal, but the information they got was the same, 'No clues. ’

"Do those who have disappeared have any of the same characteristics? Injuries, illnesses, occupations, accommodations, habits, etc. ”

It's noon, so it's supposed to be the busiest time of the day. But the streets were sparsely populated, and everyone was hurrying and looking alarmed, and they were all on the defensive. Obviously, the occurrence of this incident has made the residents of Bartholomew City a little noisy, and the grass and trees are all in flames.

"No, there is nothing in common with those who are missing." Van Persie pulled out a stack of information from the storage rings, to say the least about thirty.

This means that there are more than 30 people missing, although it does not sound like much. But it's enough for everyone to be at risk, after all, it's not a killing, it's a strange disappearance. Anyone can be the next dart point on top of the target.

A quick glance at the information in his hand, as Van Persie said, the missing people have nothing in common. There are men and women, old and young.

"When did it happen?" Raphael put the wad of paper in a cloth pocket on one side and asked.

"Ten days ago, an old woman said that her son had disappeared for two days, just because his son was idle on weekdays, and the guards didn't take it seriously. But then there was one disappearance. ”

As soon as Van Persie finished speaking, he took a quick step and grabbed a young man from the corner of the street, who had been following them for some distance.

"What? Is there anything you want to tell me? Raphael looked at the young man who was easily lifted up by Van Persie and asked.

"Lord of the city, please save me. I feel like I'll be the next one to go missing. The young man struggled, his face as red as a monkey's ass, and he cried loudly.

"This man is the famous 'madman Richard' in the city, and he has said this to us more than once." Van Persie apparently knew the guy and explained aloud to Raphael.

"I know you won't believe me, and I know you'll think I'm lying to you. But it's true, I'll be taken away soon. Although the madman Richard could not understand what Van Persie was saying, he saw Raphael's puzzled eyes. Naturally, he could guess something, and hurriedly spoke loudly.

"Put him down, maybe he really knows something. After all, we don't have any useful clues on hand now, so let's listen to what he has to say before making a decision. ”

Raphael pursed his lips and exhaled slightly. He had planned to have a good meal as soon as he returned to Bartholomew, take a good bath, and finally sleep in a beautiful way, but now he can only think about it.

"Yes, Your Highness." Van Persie nodded and put the man down.
