Chapter 453: Kingship Has No Eternity
"The wizard family?"
Wren raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "Your ambition is really not small. ”
The wizarding family sounds unremarkable, but in fact it is more powerful than the Dragonborn. The wizarding legacy does not rely on blood, but on a huge amount of magical knowledge and countless resources, and it takes a long time to accumulate.
A legendary high-level wizard may be able to create a wizarding organization, or establish an academy, recruit students, and invest energy and resources to train them to grow and form a powerful enough wizarding force.
However, if you want to establish a wizard family with your own bloodline as the hub, the difficulty is increased by a hundred times!
Because of the existence of the Blood Soul Curse, the descendants of legendary wizards will not have an advantage over others, and they are no different from the sons of commoners.
In the entire human realm, there are very few wizard families that can be called wizards, and most of them are within the empire, and there are only a handful.
These wizard families all have one thing in common, they were created by Holy Soul Wizards!
It is rumored that the promotion of the Holy Soul Wizard can lift the Blood Soul Curse, and the offspring is born without a curse, and the starting point is higher than that of ordinary people, not only is the talent outstanding, but also the guidance of the parents who are the Holy Soul Wizard since childhood, and has countless wealth resources, and the probability of becoming a wizard is extremely high.
Even then, it's just a matter of becoming a wizard.
Whether the descendants can be promoted to a legendary wizard depends on whether the goddess of fate favors it, that is, to fight luck, if it is not a legend, it will not be of much help to the Holy Soul Wizard, it is better to concentrate on cultivating talented students.
This is the first generation of descendants of Holy Soul Wizards, if they marry a human outside the family, the next generation will be tainted by the Blood Soul Curse, and after two or three generations, the talent will return to mediocrity. Unless they are incestuous like the Dragonborn, or they can only marry other wizarding families, but this again involves the position of the Holy Soul Wizard in the High Council.
Each Holy Soul Wizard is a great independent being, and will not let future generations influence their own decisions.
As a result, marriages between wizarding families are extremely rare.
In the eyes of the Holy Soul Wizard, establishing a family is just a matter of convenience, and it is far less important than exploring a higher realm by yourself, and most Holy Soul Wizards will not create a family, but mainly recruit students, that is, the major floating cities and academies.
Of the several Holy Soul wizards Wren has seen, only one has created a wizard family, and that is the Duke of Silver Star.
This Holy Soul wizard has many descendants, she alone has had twelve sons, and her Silveri family is well known in the Empire, and Viola is a member of it.
However, with so many descendants giving birth to five legendary transcendents, only one of them is a wizard.
Wren had never seen this legendary wizard, only heard of his name, but he heard that he relied on resources to pile up to the first level of legends, and his strength was far inferior to that of several students of the Duke of Silver Star.
With more than double-digit wizards, the Silveri family is definitely a true wizarding family, but it is the Duke of Silver Star himself who really makes people fear.
Although there are also Silver Star Dukes who have only been promoted to the Holy Soul for more than three hundred years, the accumulation is not enough, and it is enough to see the difficulty of establishing a wizard family.
Even the Duke of Silver Star was a little reluctant, let alone Emilys.
Emily ascended to the throne and owned the kingdom of Congatro, she may not lack wealth and resources, but her own strength is insufficient, and the hope of being promoted to the Holy Spirit is extremely slim.
She is a dragonborn apostle, relying on the red dragon bloodline to cast spells, although she can also master more spells through learning, but on the path of exploring magic, her foundation is far less stable than that of wizards, and it is difficult to go far.
In the more than 3,000 years of history of the Zogenburg family, no Dragonborn has ever been promoted to the Holy Rank.
"I know it's hard, but I want to give it a try. Emily smiled, her purple eyes were firm like never before, she put her hand on Wren's chest, and said softly, "Even if I can't do it, there are still you......"
"If you want to ask who in this world is most likely to advance to the Holy Soul, I can't think of a second person besides you!" she said, half earnestly, half praised.
Wren said helplessly: "It turns out that you are still playing with my idea." ”
"Who made you his father?" Emily smiled slyly, "The dignified Speaker of Wezeland, the Earl of Glamorgan, the Duke of Augustus, the famous hero of the Empire, the student of the Holy Soul Wizard, must also be a good father!"
Even though she said it in a light-hearted and teasing tone, Wren was still a little upset when she heard it.
This woman seems to have eaten herself.
Just one son?
"Huh?" Wren reacted suddenly, "You said 'him', how can you be sure that you have a son in your belly?"
"If you use the Dragonborn secret method to conceive a child, it must be a man. Emilys explained, "Male dragonborns are more suitable for passing on the bloodline and inheriting the dragon lord, which is the result of the deliberate adjustment of the ancestor who created the secret method. ”
Son......
Wren nodded, turned to look at Dragonspine City below the tower, and didn't speak for a long time.
Emilys was behind Wren, looking at his tall back but not seeing his expression, and panicked and found herself overly proud. Whether it was a conversion to the Goddess of Magic, a duke, or a plan to create a wizard family, she had thought about the decision for a long time.
But she didn't have Wren's prior consent, and now she is also "informing" Wren, not negotiating.
This apparently caused Wren's displeasure.
Even if the unborn son in her belly gave her a lot of confidence, after more than two years of getting along, she thought that she had figured out Ren's character, this is not a ruthless man, and he will never be irresponsible, but it makes Renne unhappy, in case he is only "responsible" but does not do his best......
Emilys was about to explain a few words when Wren turned around.
His expression was calm.
"I don't like people teaching me to do things. If you're a Holy Soul wizard and can rub my head on the ground, then I'll do whatever you say, but you're not. Wren stared at Emily coldly, "For my son's sake, this is the last time I'll put up with your willfulness." ”
Emily had never seen such a wren before, and felt a great deal of pressure.
She didn't dare to look at Wren, lowered her head and said obediently: "I know, there will never be a next time." ”
But her heart was secretly happy, as long as Wren agreed to this time, she would have nothing more to ask for. However, before she could be happy, she heard Wren say: "I can help you with the conversion of the goddess, the new Duchy of Augustus, and the establishment of the wizard family, but I also have one condition." ”
Emilys looked up, stunned.
She seemed to see the sneer in Wren's eyes, and said to herself: "The heir of the Duchy of Augustus is appointed by me, and it is not limited to our son, as long as the surname is Augustus, and his succession must be ranked last, and he can only succeed to the throne if there are no other descendants of Augustus." ”
"It's not ......"
Emilys's face changed greatly, and she subconsciously wanted to object, but when she saw Wren staring at her coldly, she quickly stopped talking.
"You're going to object?" Wren asked in a deep voice. schoolgirl
Emily wanted to nod and shake her head, but for a moment she fell into confusion, and her beautiful face looked very tangled.
Wren's meaning couldn't be clearer, and he saw through his tricks.
The dragonborn in her womb will undoubtedly be the first heir to the throne of Congataro, and the child conceived using the secret method is far more talented than ordinary people, and has inherited the blood of Rennes, no surprise, in the future, she will definitely be promoted to a legend and wear the crown.
In her plan, her own son was also the heir to the Duchy of Augustus.
Regardless of Wren's lifespan, no matter how many generations have passed, as long as the Dragonborn King is also the Duke of Augustus, the two families are one family, and the Duchy of Augustus still belongs to the Drogenburg family.
Now Wren said that as long as the surname Augustus has the right of inheritance, the nature has completely changed.
Moreover, Wren also intends to put the succession of the Dragonborn at the bottom, so that the Duchy of Augustus becomes a de facto independent principality, separated from the Drogon Castle family, and after a few generations, there will be no blood relationship to speak of.
In the history of Congatro, such examples are not uncommon.
The ancestors of the Lauberdier family were born in the Drogenburg family, and they were also dragonborns, and when they became adults, they gave up their dragonborn blood and became independent, and developed the Lauberdier family.
After a few generations, the blood relationship between the two families faded to the point of insignificance, until they turned against each other later.
Emilys was anxious, when Wren and herself were still there, there would be no problem with the two principalities, if something happened, there was a conflict, or if the descendants of Augustus had a disobedient heart, it would be absolutely a disaster for the Drogonburg family.
Maybe there will be another repeat of the usurper war!
The Duchy of Augustus was supported by the Floating City of Wezeland, and at that time, the people of the Duchy were all believers in the goddess, and it was impossible for another dragonborn to restore the Drogenburg dynasty.
Thinking of this, Emilys's body shook a little, and her hands trembled slightly.
She began to regret whether her decision was correct or not, and her face changed, but in the face of Wren's gaze, she opened her mouth several times and was speechless.
The Soul Eye saw Emily's color change rapidly, like a large dye vat, and his emotions were very intense.
Wren knew he was holding her downhole.
He is not a fool, for the sake of a son and the title of duke, he will contribute to the Zhuogenburg family without complaints, he is not a worker, nor does he have a working soul, let alone a son-in-law!
"It's too late for you to regret it now. ”
Wren snorted secretly and said indifferently: "I allow you to take back the duke title and territory, as long as you give me Dragonspine City and that Mithril mine." ”
"I ......"
Emily wanted to withdraw her plan, but it was the result of years of thinking about it, and she didn't know how much effort it would take, and there were too many things to do in the future, so how could she give up easily?
All of a sudden, her mind was completely confused, her face was pale, and sweat was pouring from her forehead.
Wren looked at her extremely entangled appearance, suddenly softened, and said softly: "Take a long-term view, since you are optimistic that I can be promoted to Holy Soul Wizard and want me to help you establish a wizard family, you should know how long the Holy Soul Wizard can live." I can assure you that as long as I am still alive, the person who sits on the Iron Throne will be surnamed Zogenburg. ”
How long a Holy Soul Wizard lives is a mystery in Ehrenus.
Anyway, so far, unless he dies unexpectedly, no Holy Soul Wizard has died properly, and the first Holy Soul Wizard in history, Master Ogulvi, has lived for more than two thousand years.
If the Durgon family can be glorious for another two thousand years, it will be enough.
There is no eternal kingship on earth.
Emilys's mood stabilized, she thought for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "You promise?"
"I promise. Wren made a gesture of prayer to the goddess of magic and said solemnly, "In the name of the goddess, I promise to do everything in my power to maintain the rule of the Trogonburg family over Congartro during my lifetime, and the king must be from the Drogenburg family." ”
There are still loopholes in this oath, but it is enough to show Wren's sincerity.
Emily didn't go into it any further, let out a long breath, and nodded, "I accept your terms." ”
"Wise choice. Wren smiled.
Silence returned to the top of the tower, and the soundproof force field was still in effect, and not the slightest sound came out, nor could it come in.
The unsettling silence lasted for a few seconds, and Wren opened an arbitrary door, "Let's go down." ”
Emily didn't immediately follow.
She looked at the back that disappeared behind any door, and her feelings were complicated.
Everything went according to her plan, and although some of it was beyond her control, the overall result was good, and this conversation laid the foundation for the revival of the Zogenburg family, but she was not happy at all.
She noticed that Wren's attitude towards her was noticeably colder.
Feelings mixed with interests are not pure after all.
What's more, her motives were impure from the beginning, and now she uses her son as a bargaining chip to exchange naked interests, and there is no trace of warmth between the two.
"Alas......"
Emily let out a bitter whisper, shook her head and threw her thoughts to the back of her mind, regaining her Dragonborn Lord and Queen's demeanor, and stepping through any door.
In the hall of Dragonspine Castle, everyone already knew that Wren had accepted the position of duke, and they all congratulated him. Valogen and the others knew that the overall situation had been decided, and while they were surprised, they could only accept the fact and congratulate Wren on becoming the eighth Duke of Congatro.
On the contrary, Wren himself seemed calm.
Soon after, the Scaly Guards came in with several large boxes and reported, "Your Majesty, this is a treasure found in the secret tunnels of the castle, and Felton's family tried to escape with them, but we intercepted them. ”
"Open it and take a look. Emily waved her hand.
All the chests were opened, and a dazzling light shone out, most of the chests contained gold jewelry and precious gems, as well as some rare alchemy materials, which were worth hundreds of thousands of gold dragons, which should be the wealth accumulated by the Felton family for many years.
Wren's eyes fell on several of the chests, which were filled with Mithril instead of gold and gems.
In the corners of these Mithril chests, crystalline ores are exposed.
"Source Crystal Mine!"
