Chapter 1000

Under Kleist's explanation, Verin gradually understood the selection system for the successor to the throne of the South Milton Kingdom.

Among the eight people, the winner is the king, and the loser has only two options. One is to swear allegiance under the gaze of the gods and never betray; the other is to give up the royal surname, leave the Kingdom of South Milton, and never be able to enter it. national borders.

As for the fate of the loser's men, Kleist did not explain in detail, but Verin could guess a thing or two.

Some people defected to the winner, some returned to their hometowns, and the rest left the Kingdom of South Milton with those they were loyal to.

Under this system, the king's governance level can be guaranteed to be above a certain level, political chaos can be avoided, and long-term prosperity can be maintained.

But this move can also easily lead to internal strife among the royal family members. After all, every time the king is changed, it is inevitable to lose outstanding members of the family. It may be one, two, or seven.

If things go on like this, it will definitely weaken the royal family.

"Sir Kleist, I want to ask you something."

Kleist looked at Kyle, stretched out his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, just ask if you have any questions."

Kyle saw this and asked, "Why does the Kingdom of South Milton exercise this kind of heir system?"

After hearing this, Verin and Celeste looked at Kleist with curiosity in their eyes.

Under the gaze of the three people, Kleist slowly said: "It's complicated to say, but to put it simply, the South Milton Kingdom's exercise of this heir system originated from the division of the Milton Kingdom."

"Thousands of years ago, the Kingdom of Milton was vast and included six countries including the present Kingdom of South Milton, the Kizil Pirate Kingdom, the Kingdom of Gaima, the Grand Duchy of Amri, the Principality of Liuying and the Kingdom of Northern Milton."

"The mainstream belief in the Kingdom of Milton at that time was that there were three gods, namely the God of Dawn, the God of War and the God of Storms."

"In addition to mainstream beliefs, there are also gods of wind and snow, god of cold wind, god of magic, etc."

"In the year 1739 of the Glorious Calendar, the Rebellion of Musius broke out, and the main royal family of the Kingdom of Milton was completely destroyed overnight. Most of the legends belonging to the royal family have no news. Some say that they were strangled by the gods because of the evil god's pollution, and some say that the power Too strong was plotted by the Ice and Snow Gods, and it was said that studying taboos would bring about disaster.”

"There are different opinions on the crisis of destruction, but there is no concrete explanation yet."

"After the fall of the Milton royal family, the seven Dukes located in the northern border supported a descendant of the Milton royal family to ascend to the throne. At that time, they called themselves the Milton Kingdom and seized legal power first, and were later called the King of Northern Milton."

"Dyul, one of the surviving legends of the Milton royal family, teamed up with the other two royal legends to use various means to win over the five southern dukes and support Xavier Milton, the last king of the Milton Kingdom, and the eldest daughter of Duke Lancelot. Eula Custer, the illegitimate daughter of Anna Custer, became king and was renamed Eula Custer Milton, also known as King Milton and later King of South Milton."

During the pause, Verin couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Kleist, since the first King of South Milton was the illegitimate daughter of Xavier Milton, the last king of the Kingdom of Milton, then that Lan What was the situation with the original husband of Anna Castel, the eldest daughter of Duke Slot?”

Kleist looked at the curiosity that was coming out of Verin's eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "There is no record, and I don't know much about it. It is said that he left the Brizet subcontinent with the generous compensation given by Duke Lancelot. "

Hearing this, Weilin felt a little regretful, but he didn't think about it any more.

A minute later, Kleist continued: "The Kingdom of South Milton and the Kingdom of North Milton have been fighting for nearly a thousand years to compete for the right to orthodox legal principles."

"Thousands of years later, when the Kingdom of South Milton was about to be unified, the Kingdom of Zovia sent troops to forcibly separate the eastern part of the Kingdom of South Milton. They wanted to swallow it up, but faced the pressure of the War Church and the Dawn Church, they could only We settled for the next best thing and used the legend of our own royal family as a guide to artificially create two countries, the Grand Duchy of Amri and the Duchy of Liuying.”

"In order to prevent the Kingdom of South Milton from counterattack, the Kingdom of Zovia handed over the faith of the Duchy of Fallen to the Church of the Dawn, and the faith of the Grand Duchy of Amri to the Church of War."

"Under this situation, the Kingdom of South Milton has no hope of regaining this huge land, so it can only remain silent and choose to admit it."

"After five hundred years of rest and recuperation, the South Milton Kingdom has started war again, preparing to destroy the North Milton Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"At the time of the launch of the army, a rebellion broke out on Kyzyl Island. Foreign legendary pirates forcibly intervened here and occupied the island by force. With the support of the Church of Storms, they successfully separated the island and established the Kyzyl Pirate Kingdom."

"Although it is called a pirate kingdom, it is actually no different from a maritime kingdom, except that the founder is a pirate king."

"Under the betrayal, the domestic situation in the Kingdom of South Milton was turbulent, and the five Dukes began to want to separate and become independent."

"At that time, Bellamy Eula Custer Milton, the thirteenth king of the South Milton Kingdom, was also a strange person. He asked his grandfather to accompany him to the private reservations of the five dukes for a confidential discussion."

"Half a month after that secret negotiation, this South Milton king married all the unmarried women in the direct line of the five major duke families."

"Marry them all?"

Verin couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Kyle and Celeste, who were listening quietly, were no exception and were equally shocked.

"You heard that right, they are all the unmarried women in the direct line of the five major duke families, a total of one hundred and thirteen people."

"As for the dowry, it was to support the five great dukes to establish themselves and build a kingdom, which is the origin of the Kingdom of Gaima."

"In the second year of the establishment of the Kingdom of Gaima, under the witness of the God of War and the God of Dawn, the Kingdom of South Milton signed a ten-thousand-year offensive and defensive covenant with it."

"During the reign of Bellamy Yula Custer Milton, there were 837 descendants."

"In his last years, he proposed the heir system. As long as they are royal descendants, no matter how distant their blood is, the strong and capable ones will be selected as princes or princesses to prevent the five great dukes from interfering in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of South Milton. ”

“This is the arrival of the heir system.”

“In the next few thousand years, the Kingdom of South Milton became more and more stable, and its national strength gradually recovered, but it also gave up the idea of ​​reclaiming its old place.”

After listening to Crest’s explanation, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Weilin’s mind, and he whispered: “This is the territory of the ice and snow gods, no…”

“Ahem.” Crest coughed lightly and said, “Weilin, some things are better for you to understand by yourself, you can think about it in your heart, or communicate through your heart, but don’t say it out loud.”

“Sir, I understand.” Weilin replied solemnly.
