Chapter 421: The Flame of the King's Choice
It has been 10,000 years since the founding of the Amon Dynasty, but in fact, the existence of the Amon Sword God itself has only been short and close to a thousand years, and even including his struggle against the previous dynasty and the gradual recovery of other lands, etc., at most doubled the time of this existence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ten thousand years of dynasty, but the king only served for nearly two thousand years, but it was in this short period of time that the Amun dynasty established many foundations and completed most of the measures, so that there were no major events affecting the rise and fall of the dynasty for nearly ten thousand years, this is the wisdom of the true king of the Amun dynasty.
Of course, if you really want to talk about hidden worries, you should count the nine kingdoms that have split out of the dynasty in front of you, after all, each kingdom has its own territory and people, and it seems that there is a family-like atmosphere between each other, but in fact, such emotions have disappeared long ago.
Now it seems that these kingdoms are planning to make themselves stronger, so that they can accomplish the great work that their ancestors once did, that is, to unify the entire human realm again, and even make the footprints of human beings in the world of Flora more far-reaching and more extensive.
Today, outside the church in Baidu City, many nobles from afar look at this huge and specially built building, which was built for today's ceremony.
"It's really strange, although it is true that such a ceremony should not be watched by ordinary people, but the problem is that the current situation also gives people a cold taste, which just feels quite strange. ”
After thinking about it, one of the nobles who witnessed the peculiarity of the day could not help but say this, because the people who came to visit this special occasion today were only this small group, and most of the others belonged to the escort team, so they could not be counted among them.
What is even more exaggerated is that everyone can see the large number of knights in white armor, as if war is imminent, they are holding spears or swords and waiting for the fateful moment to come.
Of course, such a situation is incomprehensible to these nobles, who are mostly ignorant of what might happen.
Even if there is a rumor, it may not be done so closely, should it really be ......
Although he imagined some possibilities that might make his and the others feel retreating in their hearts, in the face of such a scene and the upcoming special ceremony, it was impossible for them, the nobles who had already indicated their participation, to leave.
After all, everyone had already arrived at the scene, and even the temporary excuse that he couldn't come because he was sick had been lost.
"I really didn't expect to see the king of Alexandrius personally choose the heir, although such an heir itself will not be recognized by the nations, only when they wear a crown that truly represents the king. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that basically as long as the heir doesn't die by accident, then the chances of becoming king in the future can be said to be 100%, and such a person will become the new king of Alexander. ”
"O two princes...... What a reluctant fate, because of the struggle for the throne and all kinds of ugly actions, in the end it is still unknown who His Majesty will choose. ”
Hearing this, the nobleman not far away suddenly interjected into the topic of the two and said, "It's not obvious, this group of troops can basically see that they are knights representing the Templar, so the person who is chosen in this grand ceremony is naturally the one who relies on the Templar on weekdays, or should it be said that Prince Yar who relies on faith on weekdays, right?"
Prince Yar, who is labeled a Templar among all the nobles, is a royal family that only receives special treatment from the Templar, but the problem is that other forces other than the Templar basically do not have much affection for the prince himself.
The reason for this is that the prince has a partial territorial agency, which is the power of every adult prince who is eligible to inherit, can find a capital in the kingdom and use it as a base to develop his connections, and eventually become a new king who can take on the burden of the kingdom on his own.
This system of choice has been around since the Sword God of Amon, and with it the birth of the Rite and the Sword, which are basically fanatics who are willing to defend the royal power and the system with their lives, but most of these people are full of learning.
The sword god of Amon has long since disappeared, but such a system has never been changed under the maintenance of etiquette and the sword, and it should be said that no kingdom wants to change such a system, although it is very likely that the eldest son will be given priority, but the problem is that many young princes usually face their brothers with a harder attitude, so such concerns can basically be ignored.
None of the kingdoms of the Ammon dynasty granted a female royal succession to the throne, except in the unlikely event that a prince was present, a female king would be born, which is a grotesque existence of the existing system.
Hong Qi didn't care about this, after all, he knew that there was a force in the current dynasty that specialized in women, and the influence of such a force was not small, and it was even a powerful force not inferior to the four major merchant families.
"No, no, no, I personally think that instead of handing it over to Prince Yar, who is clearly inclined to the Templar, His Majesty will still be
It would be right to choose Prince Aston, who has made many friends and has a good reputation. ”
Ya Sidong, a prince who is much older than his younger brother, has a gap of as many as eight years between the two, which may not be an age that needs to be cared about for the transcendent or even some pseudo-transcendent, but the problem is that eight years is enough to affect the chances of the throne that may be possessed in the future.
"Prince Yar himself was too young to complete the union of powers, otherwise how could he make such a bet? After all, being baptized by the Templar priest is basically equivalent to him turning the kingdom of Alexandrius into a kingdom exclusive to the Templars. ”
Although this tendency can be seen by most countries, no country is willing to intervene or even welcome this matter, because the Demon Hunter Organization itself will not want such a thing to happen, and there are other large families who will naturally start to deal with the Templar because of their interests.
It is simply the best thing for the nations to be able to alleviate or even temporarily get rid of the Templars that their kingdom may have, and by the way, to allow other forces who originally planned to meddle in the kingdom's industry.
"Anyway, when the time comes, you will know the choice of the old king, you see, His Majesty has appeared. ”
This special building that has been built for a long time is called the existence of the King's Chosen Land, and the old king slowly moves to the position made of special materials with his old body, and next to it are two secondary seats dedicated to the two major forces of the kingdom.
The Great Sage was sitting calmly above and looking down on everyone, and on the side relative to the Great Sage was the chief knight Captain Sinksor, the eleventh powerhouse on the Demon Hunting List.
"Hello Your Majesty, long time no see. ”
"Your Majesty, I greet you in the name of the Lord, and I hope that your body will be blessed by the Lord. ”
The two of them spoke at the same time, and the old king only nodded and said the same thing to the two of them.
"What are you going to do today?"
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? This time we are in charge of the guard and the witness, although I am surprised that it is you, the chief knight, who is present. ”
"Oh, do you want His Excellency Falando not come? I'm really sorry, His Excellency Frando is currently going to the church as a cardinal, and it is estimated that it may take a long time, so the Templar will send him to observe the service. ”
"As for what His Majesty is thinking, I don't know what it means, but I have the same thoughts as the Great Sage when I come here today. ”
"Well, as long as those guys as old as me don't show up, I don't care. ”
The king of Alexandrian is said to be eighty years old, and he only began to marry and have children when he was about fifty years old and ready to raise the next generation.
If they do appear, it should be a prelude before the start of the big war, right?
Hearing the old king say this, both of them couldn't help but have such thoughts, and the characters mentioned in the other party's mouth also had similar thoughts between the two sides.
"So...... What about my two proud but sorry children, people?"
This sentence is to ask the officer of the guard, but also to ask the officer of etiquette who is responsible for the development of the procedure.
"Your Majesty, Your Highnesses are now getting ready to get dressed. ”
The guards responded first to the king, followed by the ceremonial officers.
"Your Majesty, it is not yet time for the Election Ceremony to begin, and according to the response of the Flame Guards, the ceremony must not be performed until the full moon rises into the sky, otherwise the flames will not be able to give the full blessing to the Chosen One. ”
Flame, the fire of the king's choice, the fire of the sword god, all kinds of words, but the main thing is the flame that represents the will of the sword god of Amon, such an existence is basically the foundation of a country, and as early as the sword god of Amon still existed in the world, this flame was created and distributed to the countries by the sword god of Ammon.
The flame itself is equivalent to the prosperity of the Amun dynasty, and the flame itself has the special effect of blessing the chosen one, so it is necessary to find an appropriate time to call out the fire of the chosen one and allow the chosen one to receive the blessing, so that it is equivalent to the end of the king's election.
The king does have a choice, but as the flame of Amun's sword god, it also has the power of refusal, which is why there are not many nobles who come to watch.
The clash between faith and kingship.
