Chapter 76: The Battle for the Throne
The little girl's eyes were locked on the necklace in Darren's hand, and her eyes were full of curiosity and yearning, especially the beads that were the size of a dove egg on the necklace, emitting a light blue light, as if they had a mysterious magic, deeply attracted her. The light of the bead was soft and warm, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, making the little girl feel extremely intimate. Although she was still young and did not know the true value of this bead, her inner persistence still made her shake her head, and her tender face was full of determination.
"If it's not intrusive, just treat it as a gift from the senior. Carrying this thing with you will be of great help to your practice of magic in the future." Darren leaned over slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and explained patiently. After that, he gently picked up the necklace and gently put it on the little girl. The necklace looked particularly beautiful on the little girl's fair neck, which complemented her innocent face.
The little girl raised her head slightly, feeling the necklace gently landing on her chest, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. Darren's words made a ripple in her heart. She looked at Darren with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you senior!" the little girl said crisply, her voice as crisp as a silver bell.
"Remember, you can't let others know that you have this thing." Darren stood up, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and reminded him again. He knew the preciousness of this bead. If it was known by someone who was ill-hearted, it might cause trouble for the little girl. The little girl nodded obediently, with her eyes shining like two black gems.
Darren turned around, his figure flashed, and disappeared in front of the little girl's eyes instantly. The little girl looked at the direction of Darren's departure, her eyes full of reluctance. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, looked down at the necklace on her chest, and her mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a sweet smile.
By chance, the little girl saw Darren's avatar in the introductory publication of the college. Darren was heroic in the publication, with firmness and confidence in his eyes. The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed to the avatar in the publication and shouted excitedly: "It's senior!" Her heart was filled with surprise. It turned out that the senior she met was so amazing. Since then, the little girl cherished this necklace even more. It is not only a precious gift, but also a witness to the wonderful fate between her and Darren.
After leaving the dormitory, Darren walked straight towards Deen's villa with anticipation. Ten years passed by, and every grass and tree in the college made Darren feel both familiar and unfamiliar. It was afternoon, and the sun shone on the ground through the gaps of the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling the changes in the college over the years.
Darren came to the villa and gently pushed open the gate. In the garden around the villa, all kinds of flowers bloomed in a colorful and fragrant manner. He saw De'en sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard at a glance. De'en was wearing a moon-white robe, with long hair casually tied behind his head, and a beard on his face. His whole person exuded a calm and elegant atmosphere, as if he was a role model.
"Teacher!" Darren walked forward quickly and bowed respectfully. His voice was filled with respect for Deen.
Deen slowly raised his head, and when he saw Darren, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Well, it's right, it's already at the level of the Holy Realm, and I think it's not far from becoming a god!" Deen said with a smile, his tone full of relief. He looked Darren up and down, as if he saw the young man who had just entered the academy and full of vitality, who had grown into a powerful Holy Realm powerhouse.
"When you went to the submission, I knew I would not come back in a short time, so after I returned to the college, I will graduate for you. I hope you don't mind." Deen said, signaling Darren to sit down. In the villa, the sun shone on the ground through the windows, and the room was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
"It's okay, I'll graduate sooner or later." Darren smiled slightly and said indifferently. He knew that Deen was for his own good. His experience outside over the years has made him look very indifferent to the academic studies in the college.
Darren began to tell Deen about his experiences over the years. His eyes were shining with light and his words were filled with passion. When talking about the two-headed demon dragon becoming a god, Deen couldn't help but feel slightly moved, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that in just a few years, the two-headed demon dragon also broke through. I still remember that I was defeated and seriously injured by the other party and fell on the island!" Deen sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face. He remembered the fierce battle with the two-headed demon dragon back then, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Teacher, do you know the situation of Cass and the others?" After chatting for a while, Darren finally asked the question he was most concerned about. His eyes were full of expectations, hoping to get news from Cass and the others from Dern.
"I know a little about this!" Deen nodded slightly and began to introduce Darren. "For Cass, you must have guessed the other party's identity. After graduating from the academy, Cass participated in the political affairs of the Purple Gold Empire. As the eldest prince of the Purple Gold Empire royal family, coupled with his talent, he has a great chance of inheriting the throne in the future. Some time ago, he also went to Dragon Island to sign a contract with a minor golden dragon, but it seemed that it was not going well!"
"Yeah!" Darren was quite happy when he heard this. He knew that Cas was of extraordinary talent. If he could sign a contract with the Golden Dragon, his strength would definitely increase greatly. But from Dern's words, he also heard that Cas seemed to be in trouble. "Is something wrong happened?" Darren asked calmly and curiously.
"Something happened. The second prince Cohen, who had never participated in the affairs of the Purple Gold Empire, announced for some reason that he would participate in the throne competition, and for some reason he signed a contract with a light holy dragon. You must know that the other party's light holy dragon is a mature dragon, and his strength is catching up with the limit of the holy domain. He is one of the few existences in the dragon clan that can rival the golden dragon. In two years, he has won the support of many nobles and ministers!" Deen told Darren in detail what he knew. A trace of worry revealed in his eyes. As a god-level powerhouse, he knew very well the cruelty of the royal struggle.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's another bloody plot of the battle for the throne!" Darren thought to himself. He frowned, feeling helpless by this kind of internal struggle within the royal family. In his opinion, the battle for power often makes people lose themselves and triggers countless disputes.
"As for your other two roommates, they have only been two years since they graduated from the academy. When they graduated, they had reached the late stage of level 8. They should have left the Purple Gold Empire. I don't know much about the specific news!" Deen continued. As a god-level strongman, he usually pays attention to some important things and characters. Naturally, he will not pay too much attention to small characters like Baidi and Telai.
Darren couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he listened to Deen's story. The partners who used to study and grow up together in the academy have now gone their separate ways and have different life trajectories. Although the god-level powerhouses in the Purple Gold Academy will not directly participate in the battle for the imperial throne, who can explain the various interests and relationships involved?
Looking at Darren who was silent, Dean seemed to guess what he was thinking. "If you really want to meet Cass, you can go find Kelisa. She is the eldest princess of the Empire. With her leadership, you can also avoid some unnecessary trouble!" Dean gave Darren advice. He knew that Darren had a good relationship with Kelisa. With Kelisa's help, it would be much easier for Darren to see Cass.
"Well! Thank you teacher." Darren said gratefully. He knew Deen's suggestion made sense. The Purple Gold Empire Palace is not an ordinary place. Without the right person to lead it, it is not easy to get in.
After saying goodbye to Deen, Darren came directly to Kelisa's villa with a nervous mood. Ten years later, Kelisa has broken through the sanctuary and became a deputy director of the school's branch, owning an independent villa. The villa is surrounded by green trees and the environment is quiet, showing elegance and tranquility.
As soon as Darren arrived outside the villa, he saw Kelisa, who was in a hot body, practicing sword skills in the open space. She was wearing a tight black training suit, perfectly outlining her figure curves. The long sword in her hand flashed in the sun, and each swing brought a sharp sound of wind. Her sword skills were skillful and smooth, with beautiful and powerful movements, as if they were integrated with the sword.
Darren stood quietly aside without disturbing Kelisa. His eyes were staring at Kelisa tightly, with appreciation in his eyes. After a long time, Kelisa stood with her sword and gasped slightly. She raised her head and saw Darren standing not far away at first sight.
"Pa..." Kelisa gently patted her hands, with a smile of surprise on her face. "You are Darren!" Her voice was filled with surprise and joy. Ten years have passed, and Darren's appearance has changed a lot, but Kelisa still recognized her at a glance.
"Sister Kelisa, you shouldn't be called Vice President!" Darren said with a smile, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He looked at Kelisa with a lot of emotion. The once lively and cheerful girl has now grown into a strong man who stands alone.
"Hmph, I still know what I have been doing in the past few years!" Kelisa said pretending to be angry, but there was still a smile on her face. She walked forward and gently pounded Darren, without any airs of a powerful man in the Holy Realm.
"Tell me, why are you here to find me today!" After greeting each other, Kelisa went straight to the point. She knew that Darren would not come to her for no reason, and that there must be something important.
"I want to see Cas, so I want to ask you to help me take me into the palace!" Darren didn't delay and directly expressed his intention. His eyes were full of expectations, hoping that Kelisa could agree to his request.
"Are you fighting for the throne?" Kelisa hesitated when she heard this. As the princess of the Purple Gold Empire, she was very clear about the throne. The royal struggle was extremely cruel, and there have been many generations of brothers fighting each other. Cass and Cohen were both grown up when she watched her. To be honest, she really didn't want to see anything happening to either of them, but once she embarked on this path, she couldn't help but control herself.
"No, it's mainly because I haven't seen each other for more than ten years and want to gather together." Darren quickly denied that he did not want to participate in the royal struggle, but if necessary, he would still help Cas. "You also know the situation of the Purple Gold Empire Palace. If I go alone, it would be difficult to enter." Darren said helplessly. As the palace of the first empire in the mainland, the defense of the Purple Gold Empire Palace is terrifying. Without a suitable person, it is almost impossible to get in.
"Okay, he is not in good shape during this period. I hope your appearance can enlighten him!" In the end, Kelisa agreed. She looked at Darren, her eyes full of trust. She knew that Darren had a close relationship with Cass, and perhaps Darren's arrival could cheer him up.
