Chapter 421 - King Lawrend Horiel-Undrasil
Chapter 421 – King Lawrend Horiel-Undrasil
Lawrend left the Royal Castle with the crown on his head. He rose high up at the center of the city.
Instantly, the eyes of everyone that was at least a High Mage could see him. Some had to squint their eyes to see him.
At that moment, Lawrend quickly thought of a way to propagate his voice to the whole city. He looked through his memories for a few minutes before he finally remembered something.
Throughout those few minutes, the citizens in the city felt breathless. They were all nervous about the future of the kingdom. They were all judging if he was worth it to be their new king.
Lawrend raised his hand up into the air with his palm facing the clouds.
*BOOM!*
A huge web of lightning exploded from the palm of his hand and covered the whole sky of the capital city.
Sound is made up of the vibration of air. It can be made through many different techniques.
For example, thunder striking the ground would make a deafening boom. Lawrend applied the same principle to his lightning.
He placed a finger over his lips.
"Citizens of Undrasil Kingdom's Capital City, my name is Lawrend Horiel. From now on, I will be called Lawrend Horiel-Undrasil! I will be the king of this city!"
The vibration of Lawrend's voice was absorbed by his finger and propagated to the lightning web in the sky. Instantly, everyone could hear his voice wherever they were.
The faces of the people in the city were filled with shock, especially the ones at the edges of the city. They couldn't believe that someone could amplify their voice to the whole capital city.
Verkoli was the one who was even more shocked. He never thought about this possibility before. All he could do was sense if someone was lying through the electrical impulses inside their body.
It was an amazing ability, but it obviously couldn't compare to something like what Lawrend was doing. It was a very practical usage of lightning.
"Some of you might be worried. You shall not! I already impregnated Princess Kasina Humility Undrasil! Soon, we will have a heir that will have the blood of the Undrasil Royal Family! It will just be a change of hands as I won't be changing the name of the kingdom, nor many of its policies!"
Lawrend's words struck the heart of the people. They were all worried about that.
Since Lawrend wasn't going to change much of the policies, they could all rest assured that their lives would be back to normal pretty soon. Not to mention, the next heir would be someone from the true Undrasil Royal Family.
Even if they wanted to, they couldn't dislike this development.
With that out of the way, Lawrend opened his mouth again.
"I'm an Arch Mage with the power of a Grand Mage! My maid Elena, who currently manages Star Tail City, is also the same! The Undrasil Monster Forest's Guardian Beast is also under my command! With my power, the Undrasil Kingdom will be stronger than ever!"
Lawrend's words slowly convinced those that were skeptical about his strength. As for the others that respected the Undrasil Monster Forest, they were excited.
The Guardian Beast of the Undrasil Monster Forest could command all the monsters in the forest. If she wanted to, she could've razed the capital to the ground with the huge bodies of the monsters.
That was also the reason why so many Arch Mages are living in the capital city. They sometimes hunt in the Undrasil Monster Forest, and if the monsters attacked, they would be defending the city.
"Currently, I'm still 18 years old, with my talent, I can rally our forces to the north and swallow the Serenity Kingdom!"
Instantly, Lawrend's words shocked the people on the ground. Even his maids didn't know about this.
Well, of course, they didn't know about it. Lawrend made it up on the spot. It shouldn't be hard for them to invade the kingdom up north.
"King Lawrend! I beg your pardon, but the empire imposed a rule long ago that the Undrasil Kingdom's territory cannot increase any further by invasion," Verkoli said.
"What?"
Lawrend was shocked. Could this be the real reason why the Undrasil Kingdom never made an attempt to crazily expand to the north?
If you think about it, they have a lot of Arch Mages. They can easily send some up north without undermining the defense of the city.
"Yes. The Bluemin Empire was worried that we will grow strong enough to challenge their position," Verkoli explained.
"Huh… If that is the case, I will increase our economic wealth!"
That was one of the ways for a kingdom to become strong. With money, they would be able to buy more expensive resources and grow powerful.
"Long Live King Lawrend!"
At first, it was a lone voice, but soon, everyone was chanting that phrase.
Lawrend looked around the capital city and smiled.
"Long Live King Lawrend!"
"Long Live King Lawrend!"
"Long Live King Lawrend!"
Lawrend's ambitions ignited the fiery spirits of the Undrasilians. They had been stagnant for several thousand years already. If Lawrend succeeds, they will rise explosively.
He basked in the limelight for a dozen more minutes before he disappeared from the sky together with his maids.
"Master, you were so cool!" Humility said as they walked back to the palace.
"Fufufufu. All the hard work was worth it," Aezel laughed.
"Thanks to all of you, I was able to do it."
Lawrend stopped and patted them on their heads one by one.
"Nyaaa…"
Amene closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of his hand on her head and ears.
Once they were back in the Royal Castle, Lawrend entered inside the Royal Room. In it was a large bed that could fit at least five people. There was a mirror and a desk on one side and an assortment of five clothes hanged on the wall.
Those were the clothes the previous king would wear.
