Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The eldest prince Kens stayed up all night and did not relax until the next morning. The assassination he was worried about did not happen. It was not that he maliciously speculated on his fifth brother, but that the fifth brother was born too late and had no interaction with them. I don’t know the fifth brother’s character very well, so I have to guard against him.

Under the leadership of the servant, he came to the restaurant. He didn't expect that in Chalcedron Castle, a place with poor material circulation, he could have such rich food. He was the only one who came to the restaurant so far.

Then Rodney also came to the restaurant: "Good morning, brother, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me."

Kens also joked: "Fifth brother, as a royal family, you can't be lazy. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, it will be normal to get up early every day to deal with government affairs."

The two of them only exchanged a few words before the emperor and the other three princes arrived one after another.

In the end, everyone discussed at the dinner table which town to visit, and then decided on the town of Lawn, which was not on the original planned route and was also the furthest away from the planned route.

At the same time, they also decided to go by Griffin, which was the fastest, and Rodney did not arrange the time in advance, ensuring fairness and justice.

The only strange thing is that Rodney's own griffon and the griffins of his guards all carry a large wooden box.

The emperor asked: "What is in this box?"

Rodney replied: "It's just a little food and tools. Since we are going to Lawn Town, we must care for the civilians there."

"Hahaha, my son is so kind."

Kens used magic to sense the boxes and found no magic at all. They should really be some ordinary tools or food. Was he a little too nervous?

However, the fourth prince who had been silent had a serious expression. He seemed to be thinking about something. He kept smelling the smell in the air with his nose. This smell made him feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

"Let us set off," said the Emperor.

The gryphon flew extremely fast and arrived at Lawn Town in less than an hour. If we had to change carriages, it would have taken a day.

They parked the gryphon a little far away from the city, then changed into civilian clothes and entered Lawn Town.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the city, they felt that it was different from the places they had been before. The people here, whether in terms of mental outlook or living standards, were not as good as the places they had inspected before.

Kens said: "Fifth brother, do you have anything else to say?"

"There is a saying that what you see may not necessarily be true. Brother, just go up and ask and see what their life was like before."

Kens went to ask an old woman with questioning eyes, wanting to hear her evaluation of Rodney. The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"His Royal Highness Rodney, that is such a good man. I have never seen a lord who is so kind and so good to us civilians. In the past winters, many of us would freeze to death. Your Highness Rodney is here. Finally, they gave us warm clothes and food..."

Then he asked a few more people and got similar answers:

"Our life was very poor before. If His Majesty Rodney hadn't come here, we could at least be half full now. He also built many new houses for us. Look over there."

After asking more than a dozen people, I got the same answer.

"It seems that the answer is obvious," His Majesty the Emperor said, "I will now declare that the prince is..."

Kens said immediately:

"Wait a minute! Father, something is wrong here! The old lady at the beginning spoke so fluently when talking about Rodney, but after we left, she couldn't even speak clearly when she talked to other people!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Kels! Do you want to slander your brother?"

The third prince said: "Prime Minister Mo, didn't you notice? Why didn't you say a word along the way?"

I saw Mo Luozi slowly speaking: "I only obey your Majesty's words. Your Majesty did not allow me to express any opinions."

At this time, Kens used his own magic power to observe the surroundings and found that most of the people, including his father, had been covered with a layer of black and white mist.

Emperor Albert: "I declare that Rodney Stephen is crowned Crown Prince!"

Kens roared angrily: "I should have discovered it a long time ago, I should have discovered it a long time ago! Merozi! It's all you who are doing this!"

The other princes also said: "Brother Royal! We will follow you!"

The huge movement attracted people around to watch, and they wanted to see what happened.

Melozi turned to Rodney and said, "Look, they don't regard you as a brother at all."

Rodney suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart: "I understood it a long time ago. Fortunately, I made preparations. Prime Minister Mo, it's time for the person you arranged to come on stage."

The people who were watching suddenly seemed possessed. The wooden boxes Rodney was carrying were moved over by someone unknown. The boxes were opened, and what appeared inside were muskets!

These ordinary people seemed to have received professional training. They quickly loaded the bullets and pointed their guns at Kens and others.

Kens had never seen a musket before, so he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't feel any magical fluctuations from it, so he thought it was not a big threat.

The territory of the fourth prince Uriah is close to the former West Bay Federation. He has heard that the weapons used by the merchants in the rebellion were muskets, weapons that mortals could kill magicians and knights.

And the moment he opened the box, he suddenly thought of what the familiar smell was. It was gunpowder, the gunpowder used in muskets!

"Defense! Use defensive magic quickly!"

The second royal family and the third prince did not react at all, and the life-saving magic items could only be activated once, so they were shot one after another.

All the accompanying knights were killed immediately.

As a member of the royal family, the eldest prince Kens naturally studied magic at the Holy Academy. Now, at the age of 34, he is already a grand mage. The passively activated magic shield and magic props blocked the first wave of shots for him.

The eldest prince reacted very quickly. He quickly used the Holy Light Shield to block the next bullets for the other three princes.

But even with a less powerful matchlock gun, shooting hundreds of them at the same time still made it a little difficult for Kens.

"Brother, fourth brother, leave us alone. Only after you go back can you help us take revenge!"

What they didn't expect was that their father, His Majesty the Emperor, was also shot in the heart.

"Everyone listen to the order!" Merozi shouted loudly: "The four princes were dissatisfied with the fifth prince becoming the prince, and they openly committed regicide! Due to the unfortunate death of the emperor, the prince Rodney inherited the throne. Now listen to His Majesty Rodney pronounce the verdict against the king. The Execution of Four Royals”

"Behead him for the crime of regicide!"
