Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 235: Legend of the Blood Clan (19)

"Abolishing blood inheritance does not absolutely mean that bloodline cannot succeed to the throne or receive a title. Instead, it is about fairness and justice, giving equal opportunities to those with outstanding abilities among the common people and nobles. This is what the blood clan and the royal family need." Shi Qi was not annoyed by the rebellious behavior of the person in front of him, and said lightly.

"It's a bit inappropriate for Count Bomir to be so angry. Or... do you think you have no ability and can only rely on your bloodline?" Shi Qi tilted his head, blinked, and looked curious.

Pomir and Telles have been displeased with her for a long time, and they are bound to cause some trouble today.

Then she'll deal with it as it happens. Anyway, seeing these two people unhappy made her feel very happy.

"You! How can Your Highness change the thousand-year-old system as he pleases?" The man became even more anxious, his usually gentle face now showing a cracked expression.

"Oh? Do we have to go through the formalities like in previous years?"

"The royal family has been too stuffy for thousands of years. Don't you think it would be good to let some air flow?" Shi Qi didn't even look at the man and turned back to the throne.

The discussion below was getting louder and louder.

A representative of the people raised his hand cautiously and looked around: "Well... I think your highness's proposal is very good. We... our blood race has been solidified for thousands of years. Just because we have a bad background, do our descendants have to live a hard life like us? They work so hard. Those children, in poor places, study and work hard to get rich. They work hard for a long time, but they never see the light."

The man probably thought of his thousands of years of experience, and tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, our children are also very outstanding. Why should they be suppressed by others all their lives!"

There was another round of discussion, with some opposing and some supporting.

"I think what Your Highness said is very good. It seems that Your Highness has grown a lot more stable after the last war." The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction in his eyes.

Shi Qi bent down and nodded to show his respect and gratitude.

"Please stop for a moment, everyone. I have just made a proposal. The specific new law will naturally require you to vote and decide. If you have nothing to add, please start discussing and voting." Shi Qi lifted the hem of her skirt, sat up straight, her eyes cold and firm, with a dignified attitude.

"Your Highness, wait a moment. I have a question that I would like to ask you." The man's seductive voice sounded, seeming a little abrupt.

Shi Qi frowned slightly when she saw the person who was speaking.

"Marquis Telles, you speak."

Tellus raised his lips slightly and clapped his hands, saying, "Your Highness said that everything is good for the peaceful development of the vampire race, and I naturally agree with it. But I dare to ask, does the abolition of the noble bloodline system include Your Highness? If Your Highness is not capable enough, should he also... give way to someone who is capable of leading the vampire race?"

The man's sharp words came directly at Shi Qi.

Before he finished speaking, Tellus opened his mouth again: "Your Highness wants to try out the new method, so leading by example... isn't that too much?"

Telles' words seemed to awaken the silent nobles.

Suddenly, there was a buzz in the hall.

"Yes, yes. Your Highness hasn't done anything since he ascended the throne. He is in the castle every day and attends ceremonies every day. If the vampires are not doing well, isn't it all your Highness's responsibility?"

"Humph, wasn't it because she was captured during the last war that gave the human race the opportunity to launch a surprise attack? How can we account for the heavy casualties we suffered?"

A group of people were talking.

Listening to the quarrel below, Shi Qi's eyes trembled slightly. Thinking of the red war that day, his heart ached.

What qualifications do these people have to talk about the war? Aren't those innocent children and those soldiers at the front the ones who are most qualified to blame her?

Shi Qi clenched his fist, stood up, raised his voice and said coldly: "Everyone, be quiet."

"I will set an example myself. If I do anything to let down the vampires, I will voluntarily step down. But... you all seem very dissatisfied with me."

"You... Marquis Smith. If I remember correctly, you were busy packing up your treasures and running away during the war. It was such a coincidence that you were spotted by my men."

"And you, Marquis Miller. It seems that you have a good relationship with the human race. The location of the castle was exposed last time. I wonder...what does the Marquis think?"

"And you, as a father... escaped from the battlefield, used your child as a shield, and even told me about blood relationship. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"And you..."

"..."

Shi Qi walked off the stage with a terrifyingly cold expression, pointing at those who were talking nonsense one by one, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

"Why don't you refute? Go ahead and say it. Aren't you quite good at speaking?" Shi Qi raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

When the embarrassing incident was mentioned to a group of people, they were suddenly speechless.

"But what I want to ask most is Marquis Telles. If I had done nothing, then on the day I was captured, you encouraged everyone to elect you as king, and on the day of the war you retreated with the support... You should give me an explanation for these things."

"Your Highness, I..." Tellus' eyes darkened and his lips moved slightly.

"Oh~ I am stupid. I was wondering why the Marquis asked that kind of question just now. It turns out... he has disliked me for a long time." Shi Qi did not give him a chance to speak. Although he smiled, his tone was extremely cold.

For a moment, the hall felt like it was in an extremely cold place, and the atmosphere was frozen.

Tellus's face darkened and the corners of his mouth stiffened.

"Your Highness has really misunderstood me. Since Your Highness has set an example, I naturally agree with him." After adjusting his tone, Telles looked like a gentleman again.

I just have a new plan in my mind.

"Well, if everyone has no objection, let's start voting." After Shi Qi finished speaking, everyone below began to discuss the voting.

Dill stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Ling Li has left safely. I have also dealt with a disobedient servant."

"Your Highness, you have worked hard. I understand."

After hearing this, Shi Qi felt as if the heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

It is not difficult to protect Ling Li, unless... he openly provokes the vampires in the future.

only…

"Tutu, you said before that Ling Li's self-awareness has awakened. Will this be a threat to his safety?"

Baldy, who was sleeping soundly, was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "There is no threat to his safety. But there is a threat to you. If he wants to break out of the novel world and live in the real world, then the novel world must collapse; if he wants to live in the novel until he grows old, he should just follow the story calmly."

"Then...how did he make the novel world collapse?" Shi Qi was curious.

"Of course, it's to wipe out the vampires and other races that shouldn't exist. Originally, the vampires were the ones that should disappear, and it's unreasonable for them to still exist. So once the vampires disappear, the novel world will naturally collapse. But host, don't forget, once the world collapses, your mission will automatically fail." Tu Tu reminded.

Shi Qi nodded, thoughtfully.

"But host, don't worry too much. Ling Li doesn't know how to return to the real world yet." Tu Tu comforted.

Shi Qi said nothing, but he was confused and a little bewildered.

The world of fiction, the real world...

How to tell them apart?

Is the demon world where she used to live the real world... or is it just a description and portrayal by the so-called author at will?

If I really break out of the world of novels, then where should I go?

……

The ceremony ended with the new law passed by a majority vote.

There will be a three-month trial period.

Everyone left the castle with different feelings.

There are expectations and worries...

And from a palace that was even more magnificent than Shi Qi's palace, an angry roar was heard.

After a burst of venting...

Tellus supported himself on the long table with both hands, his face regained its calmness, and he spoke in a low voice.

"As you all have seen today, the Queen has changed. If she continues like this, none of us will have a good life."

"Yes, it seems that she doesn't want to be a puppet queen anymore. In this case, it's time to start our plan." A blond noble man said with interest.

"How's the poison guide going?" asked Telles.

"It's already prepared. It will be released in a few days. Let me see how Shi Qi handles it. Haha. Don't blame me for being cruel since she insulted me like this today!" said the white-haired man on the other side angrily.

"Is there any new news from the werewolf tribe?" Telles seemed to be in a much better mood.

"They have the idea of ​​a marriage alliance, and if it succeeds, they will cooperate with us to destroy Shi Qi."

"Heh, those old thieves are smart. They let Yin Su and Shi Qi get married? Tsk, aren't they just looking for more ways to survive?" Telles said disdainfully.

"So what if we agree to them? We have been preparing for a hundred years, so there is no way we will fail! The king of the blood clan should have changed his surname long ago!" the white-haired man echoed.

"Since everyone agrees, let's... just wait for the show to begin."

"Shiqi, Shiqi, you said you have the ability to do it for the people. But when the time comes, I don't know if the people will still believe you."

Telles raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of calculation.
