For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 146 April Fool's Day Prelude

   "Lord Kane, then these icons..."

   Observed the expression on William's face and asked the consecrator cautiously.

   "Tell them to respond to the terminal."

  William corrected, then he continued:

   "No problem, I'll activate them one by one later, and then trouble you to insert these terminals into the nodes of the previously laid magic network."

  The icon consecrated by the Holy Spirit disc also needs to be touched and activated by William, the client, in order to become a medium for extending his own power.

   In the next ten minutes or so, William "consecrated" all the response terminals they had made. As he touched the metal discs, he thought. If he wants to promote the magic network in the whole continent in the future, he must find a faster way to activate the response terminal, otherwise he will not have to do anything else all day long. .

"Lord Kane, I still don't quite understand. These icons blessed by you can obviously be used as the best missionary tools of the Holy Spirit Church. They are the best proof of holy signs, but why did you choose to use them Buried in... sewers?"

   And at this time, Nezemar's question interrupted his wild thoughts.

   Looking at the puzzled expression on the other side, William replied briefly:

   "In a short time, I will leave the Blackwater Marsh for a while, and these things are an insurance for the city in the future."

  At the previous meeting at Dawn Fortress, Nezemar, who learned that William was planning to go to Ava, was even more puzzled.

  Nezmar participated in the experiment on the function of the Eighth Holy Spirit Icon throughout the whole process. She fully understood that at this distance from Awa Continent to Blackwater Province, it was impossible for Lord Kane to project much power through these icons.

   Of course, she did not continue to ask these words.

   After all, as a believer of the Eighth Holy Spirit, she may be able to express her confusion on some issues she does not understand and seek the revelation of the Holy Spirit, but she must never question the power of the Holy Spirit.

   Maybe the so-called "experiment" that he had participated in at that time was a test of his own loyalty. As the incarnation of the Eighth Holy Spirit, how could Master Kane be limited by distance when projecting his power?

   figured this out, and the doubtful expression on Nezemar's face immediately calmed down again.

William looked at the other party with some doubts and suddenly looked like he wanted to understand something. He originally planned to explain to the other party that he planned to use the Stranger Star Lighthouse as the source of the magic, the magic network as the main body of the spell, and the response terminal as the control system, so as to leave the idea of ​​a puppet medium that can be temporarily manipulated in the city of thorns.

   But since the other party didn't ask, he didn't bother to say it.

   So William asked another thing:

   "Is the news you got here also tomorrow? But why does it have to be April Fool's Day?"

  …

   "But why does it have to be April Fool's Day?"

   At the same time, in a rental house about five blocks away from the slums of Thorns City, a slightly obese young man dressed in drab clothes complained.

   He said as if he patted the table angrily.

"Because on April Fool's Day, most of the people in the Rose Palace will be dispatched to distribute relief supplies and maintain city order. This will be the weakest security measure around the usurper in recent times, my lord the duke. ."

  Leighton, the former adjutant of the Rose Palace Mage Hall, replied with a polite smile on his face.

"But I can't wear the crown of thorns on April Fool's Day. If I can't put it on the first time after I get my crown back, wouldn't it be a shame in front of the entire city of thorns? "

   The man continued to pat the table impatiently.

  It is an ancient taboo for the king not to wear a crown on April Fools' Day. It is said that the mad fool Valk will regard wearing a crown on this day as a provocation to himself, and will soon send "surprises" to those people, princes and nobles.

  Lyden said with the same expression on his face when he heard the words:

"Please rest assured that the usurper, out of his own fear, has not worn the crown once since he took the throne of thorns. All the subjects of the city of thorns, even the usurper himself know that this crown is What belongs to you, you are the real Duke of Thorns."

Leighton had planned to say a few more words like "all your people are looking forward to your return", or "no one can sit firmly on the throne of thorns except the blood of the Vald family" Bullshit.

   But Layton finally gave up on the idea considering his poor expression management skills.

  Thinking of this, Leiden only felt boring for a while.

Others who participated in tomorrow's operation have scattered all over the city of thorns to make specific preparations, but only myself, the initiator and maker of the entire plan, wants to appease a man in this ridiculously cold rental room. mentally handicapped.

   Of course, there is indeed a reason why he is wanted by a bounty, but considering the attitude of his partners towards him, it is hard not to think that he was kicked out of the core of the plan.

   After hearing the words "Usurper", the young man continued with some excitement:

"Vincent, the usurper... It's because my father trusted him so much, I didn't expect him to make such a betrayal. When I get my throne back, the first order I will put on the rose seal is Cut off the head of that old thing."

  Lyden watched with interest that, except for drinking and playing with women, there was nothing comparable to his father, Jesse Ward. After thinking about it, he reminded with a playful attitude:

"But he is a legendary magic caster. According to the laws of the stars, after a magic caster at the master level and above violates the secular law, he is only allowed to report to the Star Council to carry out the internal arbitration of the mages. to be tried in a secular court."

   In this regard, Jesse Ward said dismissively:

   "Come on, he shut down all the star lighthouses in the City of Thorns. I ordered his head to be chopped off. I'm afraid the Star Council will only issue me an Austrian Iron badge."

   Hearing the other party's words, Leiden couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.

   Even this **** can see where the other party's problem is, is Vincent really crazy?

   thought Layton.

It has been ten days since he returned to the City of Thorns from Heiguang City, and summing up what he has learned over the past ten days, he can basically only come to the conclusion that the behavior of this guy Vincent after he came to power is completely It can be described as eager to seek death.

   In the Blackwater Province, or anywhere in the Vic Continent except the Platinum Province, whoever wants to secure the throne, you have to choose one of the Empire and the Moon.

  Leighton, after seeing Vincent launch a vigorous operation to clear the faith in the Moon Realm as soon as he came to power, originally thought that the other party wanted to gain the understanding of the empire and planned to return to the empire.

   In fact, he had no such plans at all.

   Not only did he not have this plan, he even bypassed the Holy Spirit Church's private Holy See, divided the parish, closed the Star Lighthouse, and repatriated a large number of Star Council forces.

   At this point, Leighton can't understand Vincent's operation at all.

   You must know that even in the old Duke's plan, he could command an army of tens of millions of undead after the plan was completed, and in the end, he still wanted to find Moon Realm as his backstage.

   And Vincent does not rely on the Empire, nor on the Moon Realm, so what does he want to rely on to maintain the situation here?

   On your own?

   But anyway, Vincent's reign will soon be over.

   In his current situation, it is no exaggeration to say that everyone is betrayed.

   Shutting down the Star Lighthouse and expelling the members of the Star Council is equivalent to offending the nobles of the entire Blackwater Province. Those children of gifted or untalented families will no longer be able to be enlightened and promoted in Blackwater Province, and the contacts they have accumulated in the Star Council over the years will also be destroyed at the same time.

   To ban the belief in the Moon Realm by such a thunderous means is to completely block the only way for those low-level magic casters who hope to turn over by signing a contract with the existence of the Moon Realm.

   All in all, this time Leiden returned to the City of Thorns in the hope of finding a few allies who could respond to their coup d’etat, but as a result, there were countless such allies.

   Not only the courtiers in the Rose Palace, including the Black Guards of Thorns, the Magic Swordsmen, and even some teachers and students in the Austrian University, there are people who are willing to assist them everywhere.

   The only thing that may make people feel a little troublesome now is that Vincent himself has been promoted to the legendary level for some reason.

   But that's just trouble.

   Legendary level powerhouses are not without them, and Leiden has been Vincent's adjutant for many years. He is also clear about the opponent's real weakness, and he has already arranged the corresponding plan.

   "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I promise you that by tomorrow you will be able to sit on that throne. Of course, it may take another day to wear the crown."

  Thinking of this, Leiden said confidently.

   Immediately he sneezed violently.

   Strange, is the rainy moon this year so gloomy and cold? Even with the doors and windows closed tightly, it was still chilly.

  Lyden thought strangely as he looked around the room where there was no one else but the two of them.

  …

   "The Imperial Council? But does it have to be held on April Fool's Day?"

   The messenger who was standing beside Vincent and recorded the message asked confirmingly.

   Then he may have noticed that his previous tone was slightly inappropriate, and he quickly added:

   "My lord, I mean, no one takes anything discussed on April Fool's Day seriously."

  Vincent shook his head and said:

   "No, I believe they're serious, so I'll be serious too."

"What's the meaning?"

   Hearing this completely intangible answer, the messenger asked suspiciously.

   "Meaning, what happens tomorrow won't be a joke."

  …

   "Honestly, the idea of ​​a coup on April Fool's Day is such a bad idea."

  William commented after confirming the information.

   "What about you? Are you going to the Rose Palace next?"

   Nezmaar asked.

  William shook his head and said:

   "No, I'm going to go to Offa University first, and what they should teach should be overhauled."
