The Earth Conquers All Worlds

With a sunny smile on his face, Neil rode his horse forward, nodding slightly to the surrounding crowd from time to time, which attracted another wave of screams and excited shouts, which was unusually chic.

It seemed that the scenery was boundless, but Neil felt a little flustered in his heart, and couldn't help but trembled in a low voice to a gray-haired old butler who dismounted from his horse: "Old Green, I asked the family to help build momentum, but the momentum can't be done." That's it, if someone plans to investigate me thoroughly, it will be over."

What he thought at the beginning was that it would be enough to create momentum in a small area and let the name of a "warrior of hundreds of battles" be placed on him. Once there is an official halo, anyone inside or outside the family who wants to deal with him will have to think more about it.

But not now!

The momentum is too big, too big, and the really powerful people at the top will be able to know what's going on just by doing a little research. What should they do if they see that they are not pleasing to the eye and kill themselves?

Grandfather may be able to help him, but his strength and power are not at the top, and he may not be able to hold on.

Old Butler Ge Lin seemed very calm: "Don't worry, little master, this matter has been approved by the military. They need to set up a hero to dilute the haze of being captured and killed by the heads and heirs of the major families. What happened."

Neil felt a little relieved, and temporarily relaxed.

A few kilometers away from here, a golden tower with a height of one thousand meters stands, flashing dazzling brilliance in the sun.

If the residents of the Holy Flame City looked up, it was as if a new sun had appeared, and the two suns echoed each other in the sky.

This is exactly the Sunlight Tower that His Majesty Gregory II spent nearly half of the empire's resources to build for more than three hundred years. It has greatly promoted the cultivation of fire practitioners. Inside tempered his fighting spirit.

At this time, the two handsome young men on the top of the tower looked indifferently at the parade showing off their bravery in the distance, and the distance of several kilometers could not cause any hindrance to them.

"It seems that Gresta was really captured, or died, otherwise it would not be your cousin's turn to perform today."

A handsome young man on the left said that his beautiful accent could not conceal the gloating in his voice. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of Prince Gresta, as was the man next to him who was a head shorter than him.

The short red-haired young man next to him frowned, and said displeasedly: "Andrew, pay attention to your words, Cousin Neil was indeed killed from the extremely dangerous devil's lair, and he indeed brought back a thousand dollars." How many immortal captives of the devil, these are indisputable facts.

For these, Lord Thorn and Spike paid the price of being seriously injured, and no slander can be tolerated. "

"Haha, slander, sorry, Lyle."

The teasing look on Andrew's face disappeared, and he said lightly: "It's my fault, I believed the rumors."

The other party's mother was from the Iron Thorn family, and his uncle was the powerful Lord Thorn. Andrew was unwilling to offend the other party for a little dispute.

The displeasure on Lyle's face disappeared, indicating that he had received an apology from the other party.

These two people are the sons of the current emperor Gregory III, and they are the sixth and seventh heirs respectively.

His ranking is far lower than that of Prince Gresta, who has already been able to lead troops to fight alone, and his strength is not as good. He has only barely become a land knight now, and his chances of advancing in the future are slim.

This is already very slow for the royal son who enjoys the best resources to cultivate.

It is different from the general marriage of two nobles with roughly equal strengths.

Generally, nobles adopt monogamy. The children born to legal nobles and husbands and wives are the heirs, and the oldest son among the children is the natural and unshakable first heir. Even the nobles themselves cannot change this result.

If there is no boy, the eldest girl is the first heir, and this result is also recognized and protected by the empire and the entire noble class.

If the matriarch and mistress have not given birth to a child,

But what about male nobles having sons with other women who are not their legal wives?

Is an illegitimate child.

According to the Imperial Noble Law, this situation is considered extinct, and the family name and territory should be inherited by the person who has the closest blood relationship with the noble.

However, in the actual execution process, it is often biased towards those who are related to the great nobles, or even their second sons.

What about the illegitimate son of the male nobleman?

He is a slave and an ordinary person. In short, although he has half the blood of the male master, they have no chance to inherit the title and territory, nor can they enjoy any benefits of the territory.

However, the general principle among the nobles has a problem with the royal family of the Holy Flame Empire. It does not have any royal family of the same level to marry him, and its own strength is extremely powerful. No one of the same level is qualified to give him the same strength. restrict.

Therefore, the family of the Royal Flame Saint Lion is not monogamous, and each emperor's son theoretically has the same inheritance rights.

The former Prince Gresta was the first heir of the Holy Flame Empire, and he had the qualification to lead an army alone to conquer foreign countries, leaving all other heirs far away. The second successor did not even have the qualification to see his back.

Now that Prince Gresta was captured in a foreign country, this situation has changed greatly, and the hearts of the already desperate princes suddenly became active.

You must know that since the royal family's territory is indivisible, those who are not eligible to inherit the throne will not be able to get a piece of territory just because they are the sons of the emperor.

If this were the case, the royal inheritance would have collapsed a few generations ago.

These princes who cannot inherit the throne are actually high-profile versions of the illegitimate children of the nobles below. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he can only get a manor to maintain his life, and he will be taken back after death. His son is a complete commoner. .

That's how the ancestor of the mine manager in Iron Fort came here. Apart from some connections and being qualified to practice royal fighting spirit, he is no different from a commoner.

Not to mention the actual status of the duke's heir, even the baron's heir may not be as good.

However, the princess is often much better, and will become the best spouse in the hearts of many dukes and viscount heirs, almost equal in status to their husbands.

Compared with their impoverished older brothers and younger brothers, it is a world of difference.

Under such circumstances, the competition among princes is often extremely cruel, regardless of life and death, and extremely crazy.

Every battle for heirs will cause a large number of casualties, and the final winner will not show mercy to the loser. The actual life of the remaining princes is often worse than imagined.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty tells you to go and get to know those immortal devils for real."

During the moment of silence between the two, the door behind them opened gently, and an earth knight with a gold-red flame holy lion badge pinned to his chest spoke softly.

The two princes looked at each other, and they could see the ecstasy and deep anxiety between each other, and the distance between the two instinctively separated a little.

After determining Gresta as the first heir many years ago, they are rarely eligible to go to His Majesty's palace.

Every day, he could only live in his own palace like raising a pig, waiting for the new emperor to return to his dilapidated manor with his mother after he ascended the throne.

But it's different now.
