Chapter 381 - The Law Of Succession In The Empire
Chapter 381 – The Law Of Succession In The Empire
I want to make a point here.
About 300 years ago, a certain nobleman pushed a bill like this in the aenate.
This bill was called the law of succession in the empire.
This law was different from what the feudal lords were used to.
All the noblemen had no right to appoint an heir, whether it was a duke or an earl.
All their descendants had the same right to inherit.
Fighting for the right to inherit was protected by the empire's senate.
In a fight for the throne, it could even break the empire's law.
All wars were reasonable.
So, unless one of the sons was publicly recognized as exceptionally outstanding, all heirs were qualified to fight for the throne.
The original purpose of introducing this bill was to restrict the Alliance group formed by the dukes and nobles.
To prevent them from being too arrogant, they had to work together.
However, this bill was introduced less than 50 years ago.
The originator of this bill, the noble, was killed by his own son in his home.
The war between the sons would never end.
This was the symbol.
The inheritance method of the entire empire was decided by the elders, and the strong were respected.
From a certain point of view, this further increased the turmoil of the empire.
At the same time, it also increased the competitiveness of the human race.
"From the final result, I think everyone knows that my three brothers are on their own, attacking each other. They all want to get the position of the leader of the East God Alliance."
"During the process of the three of them fighting each other, James has been preparing for war, but he did not join any side. He did this because he had long noticed the ambition of Doomsday."
"Ten years later, when the East God Alliance fell apart due to the conflict between my three brothers and became weaker and weaker, Doomsday took the opportunity to invade across the provinces."
"Even though James fought hard, it was useless. In the end, all three of my brothers died in battle, and I was the only one left in my father's bloodline."
"And as a warrior, I had no way to inherit the great cause. Everyone in the East God Alliance saw that there was no hope, so they scattered and left. However, I still have a attachment to East God."
"Ulysses took a fancy to this point, so he used the name of loving my beauty. In fact, he wanted to subdue me to indirectly rope in the remaining forces of the East God for his use."
"And you can't accept Prince Ulysses because you like the dead James, right?"
Allie looked at Lei Luo, who was speaking, and slowly shook her head.
"Of course there's a reason, but I'm not that stingy. If we can revive the East God Alliance, then I won't hesitate to sacrifice myself."
"But if the east god is able to be reborn in this way, do you think that our members will receive the glory and respect they deserve?"
"In the end, aren't we just cannon fodder, living on the other people's faces? Therefore, if East God is to rise again, he must stand on his own feet. What is lost on the battlefield can only be recovered on the battlefield. Isn't that the case?"
"I really want to know how much capital you have."
As a businessman, he knew how important money was.
Therefore, out of his professional instinct, Morton's first question was this.
"When my father was still alive, he had already obtained the title of earl for me in the empire. However, because of my woman, my father didn't want me to be too tired, so he only helped me buy the identity of an earl. However, there was no land to be granted, so I was only an empty earl. Other than that, I had nothing."
"In other words, you have no capital at all?"
Lei Luo's eyes widened.
"That's not the case. The title of earl is worth about 300,000 gold coins in the empire. You can sell your identity as an earl as well. In the end, you have no choice but to sell your title. It's nothing new in the empire."
"Although a second-hand noble doesn't sound like an official title, you can sell it for about 100,000 gold coins. That's not a problem. It's also a large sum of money."
After Lei Luo finished speaking, Morton immediately corrected his mistake.
"If it's 100,000 gold coins, then the situation will be completely different."
When Lei Luo heard this, he immediately looked at Allie with a lot of respect.
However, his eyes became lazy and unruly again.
The reason was very simple. It was because Allie had completely cut off their path.
"You don't have to think about that. The title of earl is the only inheritance my father left me. Not to mention that even when my cousin was poor, he once wanted me to sell the title of earl to help him. I kept saying that I would rather sell myself to Ulysses than sell the title, so he gave up."
"You don't have the strength at all. With such a big hat, don't you feel bad?"
As Lei Luo said this, he immediately thought of something.
"Oh right, doesn't she still have the title of a princess? How much is this worth?"
"It's not cheap. This is even more expensive than a count. It costs ten million gold coins. Because this is an honorary title, there are only ninety-nine in the entire empire. Although this title is expensive when you buy it, it's not worth a cent when you get it. This is because an honorary title cannot be sold."
"This…"
Lei Luo was about to say something bad about Allie's father.
However, he saw her unfriendly expression.
He believed in the terrifying combat strength that she had displayed in Xida City.
He could only swallow his words back down.
"Princess Allie, I don't know about them, but I personally feel very honored that you've recruited them. However, I think that since you've been able to recruit us, you must have some understanding of us."
"I, Morton, am a businessman and not a great figure. Even if I want to assist you, with your strength, I'll be honest and say that no one will be able to save you."
Morton said that he would not get involved in this mess.
"There's nothing in this world that can't be done."
Allie bit the corner of her mouth stubbornly.
"That's right, but there's a prerequisite to being able to do anything," Lei Luo said as he stood up from the sofa.
"All right, Princess Allie, thank you for your kindness. There's no need to say anything else. For the sake of sending you back, tell your cousin not to be too polite. Give each of us three 80,000 to 100,000 gold coins each. That's enough."
"We're also casual people. As for this Casa, please take him in. It's difficult for him to return home because of you. You guys should treat him better. I think that's it. Morton, what do you think?"
