- Although Su Xiao didn't know where the Kingdom Council Hall was, he quickly thought of a way. In fact, it is very simple to find the Kingdom Council Hall. There are three steps.
The first step: Find a guard.
The second step: Stare at each other for 10 seconds.
The third step is to say in a calm tone: 'Come with me to the Kingdom Chamber. '
Along the way afterwards, the anxious guard began to doubt his life, thinking wildly in his mind, and lost his mind.
According to the direction that the guards behind him inadvertently moved forward, Su Xiao quickly found out where the Kingdom Chamber was.
The gate of the Kingdom Chamber of Commerce is closed. Any important matters in the kingdom are made here. The final decision is made here. The frequency of use here is not high. After all, officials do not need to come to the palace every day, unless they receive an order from the king. will gather together.
Su Xiao pushed open the door of the kingdom's meeting hall. The meeting hall was very quiet, surrounded by a circle of seats, the first one was a tall metal throne, which was forged from a huge meteorite that fell from the sky, and the whole body was pitch black.
A figure was sitting on the throne. He was wearing loose gold and red clothes and an iron crown on his head. This crown has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and it was handed down by the first king, the Iron Crown King Adelaide Herbert.
Sitting on the throne is the old king, Bai Herbert, who is 65 years old now, but his beard and hair are all white, although under the nourishment of various precious secret medicines, his skin has no wrinkles and his complexion is ruddy, but He feels old.
"Iron Hand, come forward."
The old king raised his arms slowly, motioning for Su Xiao to stand forward. Su Xiao didn't know what to say yet, so he chose to remain silent. This kind of silence is the best disguise.
Su Xiao stepped forward slowly, the old king looked at Su Xiao, the look in his eyes was actually envious.
"You have a young body and powerful force. If I were you, I would definitely get a lot of women and stay busy until midnight every day."
The old king smiled, Su Xiao just stood five meters in front of him, his face was calm and he didn't say a word.
The old king was not angry because Su Xiao didn't speak, on the contrary, he was used to this kind of silence.
"The thing I regret the most is fighting for the king's rights. When I was young, I always longed for rights, but at that time I didn't know what rights represented."
The old king seemed to be confiding, some words he could only say to the Iron Hand, in front of his subjects, he was a majestic and wise king.
"How many dissidents have you helped me get rid of? Kekekekekeke"
The old king put his fist in front of his mouth and let out a dry cough, as if he wanted to cough out all the lobes of his lungs.
"257 people."
Of course Su Xiao knew how many dissidents the 'Iron Hand' helped the old king get rid of. This is very important information.
"Are there already so many people? Power has lost too many people, but they have forgotten that there are still those dead spirits who want to drive humans to extinction outside the wall of God."
The old king leaned back on his throne, a wisp of coughed up saliva on the beard of his chin, but he ignored it.
"Iron Hand, can I trust you?"
The old king leaned forward, his eyes were no longer muddy, but became extremely sharp, as if he could read people's hearts.
"certainly."
Su Xiao's answer was very concise, and the old king put away his sharp eyes.
"I can't last long."
The old king is still staring at Su Xiao. He secretly summoned Su Xiao today, it must be something important.
""
Su Xiao didn't speak, but just looked at the old king.
"You can't reveal this secret even if you die."
"clear."
Su Xiao still had that calm tone.
"My descendants are all on their way to the holy city, and there will be a new heir to the throne among them."
The words of the old king let Su Xiao know that the topic is coming.
"Only those who are wise enough are qualified to inherit the throne. This is something passed down by the Iron Crown King, and it is something that has made the kingdom prosperous until now.
The total number of my children is 48, no, 49. Some of them may or may not be able to inherit the throne, but no matter what, the name 'Herbert' will never die. This is One of the reasons we can fight the undead. "
The old king's speech was not fast, and he seemed to be struggling even to speak.
"Iron Hands, after they gathered in the capital, the struggle for power began. I want you to assist the winning heir to the throne, just like you assist me now.
in inheritanceBefore the attackers show up, help me monitor them, and if they start to rebel, help me deal with them. "
The old king's tone was downplaying, but the things he wanted to get rid of were his own children.
After hearing what the old king said, Su Xiao knew what was going on.
First of all, the old king can't live long due to physical reasons, so he wants to choose someone to inherit the throne as soon as possible.
The kingdom of San Sordin is somewhat complicated in terms of succession to the throne, which is related to the issue of priority.
The priority of the first echelon is the heirs of the old king. These princes and princesses are not usually in the capital, but are scattered in various places, managing various territories in the kingdom. Some are similar to dukes, but there is no such thing as a duke in this world. One name, but similar in nature, they have fiefdoms, and they can freely control their finances, but they cannot have a large-scale army. The troops stationed on the territory are all troops under the old king's command.
Princes and princesses live in the royal capital before the age of 15, and they will confer territories after the age of 15. This is actually training their leadership and management skills, thereby cultivating future kings.
Except for a very small number of princes and princesses, most of the princes and princesses are very ambitious and really want to inherit the throne. The reason for this is that they want to get huge rights, and the second is because of the upcoming power struggle.
When the old king is near the end of his life or close to 70 years old, these princes and princesses will be summoned to the capital. Of course, when they are summoned, they have the right to choose once, which is to refuse the summoning, which is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the succession to the throne. right.
If they agree to the call and come to the holy city, it means they will participate in the struggle for rights on their behalf.

During the struggle for power, they will use various methods to get rid of or force away competitors, as long as they don't tear their faces on the bright side. They can assassinate each other, poison each other, take away the power of the other party, and cut off the other party's financial resources, etc.
As for the criteria for judging the winner, it is very simple, whichever prince or princess can stay in the Holy City in the end, he is the heir to the throne.
Of course, this kind of bloody competition may lead to the failure of all the princes or princesses. If this happens, the second echelon must be selected.
The candidates for the second echelon are dozens of heirs trained by the old king in the Holy City. To some extent, these heirs have met the old king more often.
These people are not of the blood of the royal family, but after they get the right to inherit the throne, they will be given the surname 'Herbert'. As for the source of the second echelon heirs, they are selected from all over the country.
What I have to say is that the mechanism for electing the new king of the Kingdom of San Sordin is very interesting, and it is not a purely hereditary system.
The power struggle between princes and princesses can barely be regarded as a hereditary system. Those who can win the power struggle, of course, have the ability to be the king. Even if there is an oolong incident, the old king can still reject the successor.
The successors of the second echelon are even more interesting. They are talents who have been selected layer by layer. They showed their talents when they were young.
The composition of the second echelon is actually somewhat close to the electoral system.
Under the cyclical effect of the dual system, the possibility of being born as a faint king is greatly reduced. If you don't have a certain ability, let alone being a king, you are lucky not to die in the struggle for power.
[Reminder: Hunter has activated the main mission. ¡¿
