From ancient times to the present, there is hardly any dynasty and generation of the royal family, in the dozens of generations of inheritance, there is no contradiction about the right to succeed, the so-called "heavenly family has no relatives", it is exactly so.

When there is only one throne and there are many candidates for succession, there is almost no possibility of bridging their contradictions, and no matter how they whitewash their ambitions and desires, in the final analysis, everyone wants to be emperor.

Moreover, sometimes, it is not your own personality that is idle and wild, and if you don't chase power, you can not participate in the succession, even if you want to participate, there are people who want you to participate. ，

Moreover, once the battle for succession breaks out, the fight is no longer for the throne, but for one's own life, as long as it is contaminated with a little turmoil, if you can't win, you will die.

If there is any possibility of a breakthrough in such an almost completely unsolvable dead end, Schiller thinks that there is, but it is not easy to achieve in ancient human times. ，

And the way to do it is to do the same as Odin, from beginning to end, maintain the choice of an heir, never waver, and tell everyone else that you have no chance.

It sounds cruel and unfair, but it's the best way to settle the bloodshed of the succession war.

In this kind of thing, give every solid person the same opportunity, the end is, if you don't fight until one person wins, everyone else is wiped out, you won't stop, it's better to announce the winner early, with the resources of the royal family, it's not easy to raise a few idle princes, isn't it?

When the medical conditions of human beings in ancient times were not good enough, it was actually very difficult to implement this practice.

It's not that there are no wise kings who start cultivating their heirs early, but once the heirs have an accident, they will usher in a total collapse.

However, Asgard hardly has this problem, each of them is strong enough, and as Odin's own son, Thor is no less talented in strength than his father, so the possibility of an accident is very small.

It can only be said that Odin is worthy of the name of the father of the gods, and as early as when the two brothers were still young, he had already found a good way to solve the dispute for succession from the root.

However, this is not unexpected, Odin led the fleet of Asgard, and for several years in the universe, almost without defeat.

If it weren't for the fact that Asgard's population was too small and it couldn't take the route of the rioters, it was not yet known whether the universe would be three empires or four empires.

As soon as Schiller opened his mouth to ask, Odin seemed to see through his thoughts again, and said, "I guess, you want to ask, why did I choose Thor, is it because Loki is not biological?" ”

"I can tell you, yes."

"I know that you humans may feel that it doesn't matter whether you are related by blood or not, as long as you are close enough, but the premise is that the difference in strength between you humans is very small."

"9 The gap between the strongest human and the weakest human being, in my opinion, is the degree to which the ant is missing a leg, but this is not the case with Asgard, the upper limit of our strength is determined by talent."

"You may have heard that the Asgardians get stronger the older they get, but the speed at which the Asgardians' strength stacks up depends on their talents, some people may live for a thousand years, and some people are stronger than they live for two hundred years, and this gap is very large." ，

"Although, we are all strong overall, my bloodline is the strongest in Asgard, so it stands to reason that Thor will also be the strongest among the next generation of Asgardians."

Odin sighed deeply, and even covered his eyes a little helplessly, and said, "Loki is a frost giant, but the reason why he was abandoned in the first place was because he was weak and sickly. ”

"Although Asgard also respects the strong, we know very well who we are fighting for, and if we can't protect women, children, old and children, then why should we board the warship?"

"But the frost giants are different, those blue-skinned hearts are as cold as their body temperatures, and the weak don't deserve to live."

"When I picked Loki back, he was dying." Odin tilted his lips to the side and said, "You don't know, how bad he was at the time, neither Frigga nor I thought he would survive. ”

"The strongest of the Aesir Protoss, and the weakest of the Frost Giant Clan, the difference in strength between the two of them is terrifying, maybe you think that Loki's magic is very good, and it can make up for his lack of strength."

"But the problem is that as time goes by, Thor will accumulate power faster and faster, but Loki's power will come to a standstill sooner or later."

Odin changed his hand, propped himself on his knees, and explained to Schiller: "Now, you can't see the difference between Thor and Loki, because at this age, the accumulation of their strength has not yet formed a qualitative gap. ”

"At the same time, Loki's control of power is more precise, so in terms of performance, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two of them. ”

"But one day, Thor's power will usher in a qualitative breakthrough, and at that time, no matter how fancy Loki uses magic, there is no way to make up for this gap, and that day will come sooner or later."

Odin sighed deeply and said, "When I was young, I also had a lot of playmates, who were able to fight with me hundreds of times in the martial arts arena, and we were evenly matched, and sometimes, I couldn't even beat them. ”

"But after my youth passed, the speed of my power accumulation began to increase rapidly, and since then, I have not met a few opponents in the entire universe, and after I entered old age, the increase in strength became even more terrifying."

"You say, in this case, how do you want me to choose Loki? I put him on the throne and what if he was beaten to death by someone else? Even if you don't get killed, you can't be injured!"

Odin touched his beard and said helplessly: "Asgard's fleet can win all battles, all thanks to a sharp spirit, they firmly believe that their king is invincible, so they will always move forward and never retreat." ”

"If one day, they find that their king has been defeated, it will not be a matter of one or two defeats, and the whole faith of Asgard may collapse."

"Asgard is going to change course, but at least we have to ensure that our god king is strong enough, at least stronger than all the people in Asgard."

"You say, what would he do if Loki was halfway through his reign and found that the ordinary Aesir Protoss, who was originally not as strong as him, had surpassed him?"

Odin slowly shook his head and said: "After I learned the prophecy of Ragnarok, I was even more determined in my choice, no matter what, Asgard has to fight with real guns, I can't choose a weak person to be the king, no matter how smart he is, his fist is not big enough, everything is in vain." ”

Schiller had been listening quietly and did not give any reply, but unexpectedly, Odin's topic surprised him again, and Odin said directly:

"Actually, among my children, Hela has the best talent, she is even stronger than his brother, but she is not in her right mind, or I and Frigga have not taught her well."

Odin showed a somewhat tangled expression and said, "But you have to understand, I am a father for the first time, how do I know how to teach the right one?" ”

"I told him that he wanted to be stronger, bolder and more courageous, and I didn't expect that she would only learn that in her life."

When he said this, the wrinkles on Odin's face were all huddled together, and he sighed again and said:

"You may think that I locked Hela up because she wanted to usurp the throne, but in fact, I wish she had usurped the throne, if she can really win against me head-on, Frigga and I will immediately move back to the World Tree to retire."

"The problem is that the way she wants to overthrow me is not to defeat me head-on, but to be coerced by the militants, to take power in a way that is not at all suitable for the god king of Asgard."

"Moreover, it is useless for me to win, she only learned the part of the war that is indomitable, but not the part that judges the situation, carefully formulates strategies, and withdraws."

"In that case, I put Asgard in her hands, that is, let a powerless child, get a naval gun, and she will kill everyone."

6 Anyway......" Odin leaned forward, propped his elbows on his knees and looked at Schiller, "This is the case, if you think I have done something wrong, he can point it out directly, I will not be angry, even if I am angry, I should not be able to do anything about you." ”

Then, Schiller sighed deeply.

From an objective point of view, Odin has done almost everything he can, and if he were to give him a rating for his life, he would definitely have reached more than 90 points.

He has two roles in his life, one is the god king of Asgard, and the other is the father of the Odin family, among these two roles, it is true that it is more successful to be a god king, but his score as a father is actually not low. ，

Some people may think that the relationship with Hyrule against each other, the relationship between Thor and Loki was not handled well, and in the end, they did not succeed in breaking through Ragnarok, isn't this a failure enough?

But in fact, it also depends on the difficulty of his exam, the god race, the royal family, the military state, many children, and it is doomed to destruction, which is more difficult than ordinary human families, I don't know how many orders of magnitude.

Odin's handover is even a relatively good answer, but if he changes to a stupid, short-sighted and hesitant king, he will definitely have to shake his prestige and rule by Hela first, and then deal with all kinds of turmoil in the next few hundred years.

Then, with unrealistic expectations, the two brothers each pulled up a group of teams and fought each other to the last piece, without Ragnarok, and the dynasty perished.

The conflict of interests in the struggle for the throne is the most deadly, but in this case, Thor and Loki really have a sincere brotherhood, and they both love Asgard at the same time, and are willing to shed their last drop of blood for their country and homeland.

When he thought of this, Schiller felt that there was no need to adjust the part of the royal dispute, after all, no matter how much it was adjusted, the second throne could not be adjusted, and as long as there were no two thrones, absolute fairness could not be achieved.

Schiller thought for a moment, then looked at Odin and said, "I can't guarantee that if I were you, I would have done better, but, although the logic and formula are correct, I still have to point out that you are not good enough in some details, such as understanding, companionship and comfort, and these details have accumulated to lead to the current somewhat embarrassing situation"

What Schiller didn't expect was that Odin nodded directly and said, "Indeed." ”

"But it's because I know I'm going to fight outside and I don't have much time to accompany Thor that I picked Loki back, as long as the two of them have a good relationship, it doesn't matter if they don't like me, anyway, they can't beat me."

Schiller opened his mouth for a moment, then closed it, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth again, and then, looking at Odin with a sincere look, said, "Your Majesty, you are not sick, or you should please go back." ”

"It's definitely not a compliment." Schiller stretched out his hand to stop Odin's gesture of speaking, saying, "Of all the people who have come to me for help, you are already the most open-minded. ”

"You're thinking too much, even more than I'm a doctor."
