"According to the level of the Holy Seal, that is, the title system, from low to high they are knight squire, knight, baron, viscount, earl, border earl, marquis, duke, and the most anticipated emperor who has not yet appeared, and The holy seal owned by the emperor is also called the emperor's holy seal. According to legend, the appearance of the emperor's holy seal means the end of the era of chaos."
Francis took a sip of his red wine and said with emotion. His eyes towards Baron Antonio also contained a kind of envy, or perhaps everyone in the world envied the monarch.
"It's strange, isn't it? In this world, in addition to the monarch, there are also evil weavers and the most powerful magicians who have powers beyond ordinary people. Why is it that only the profession of the monarch can serve as the king, and the others People can only be in the position of assistants. No matter how weak a monarch is, as long as he has the Holy Seal, he will be supported as a lord. However, evil spell users and magicians who are stronger than the monarch can only assist him. This is strange, isn't it? ?」
William felt strange. Since ancient times, truth has only been within the range of cannons. This is the famous saying of German Prime Minister Bismarck. He revealed the essence of power, that is, the foundation of rule is force.
To seize the world requires force, and to rule the world also requires force. This world is neither a pure land of bliss nor a paradise. People who have no power at all cannot become rulers.
Regardless of whether he is obese or not, or resourceful or not, as long as his father is a monarch, his offspring may inherit his father's seal, title, territory, and people. He may be able to rule smoothly, but it does not affect the ability of truly capable people to seize the throne. The world.
Of course, a monarch can be a ruler, but evil weavers and magicians can also be rulers.
"The truth, didn't I tell you? A monarch is special. For example, although Aishela can defeat Chaos and seal it in her body with evil patterns to eliminate Chaos, only a monarch can Use the Holy Seal to transform chaos into order and incorporate it into the Holy Seal, so the monarch can be the king, and the evil pattern user can only assist them as mercenaries."
"Isn't this fair? Is there really no king who is an evil pattern user? Why can a monarch only be a monarch and not a mercenary? What is a magician?"
"Hey, William, you kid, don't speak so loudly, it will be bad if others hear you. You kid, you have no common sense in this world."
Francis covered William's mouth in a panic to stop him from continuing to speak. Although these words are considered treasonous and may even be the inner thoughts of many mercenaries, especially the evil pattern users, this is absolutely not allowed. Saying it, especially saying it in front of the monarch and the magician, is against the mainstream consensus of the world.
Only a monarch can be a lord, or even a king or emperor.
"Then explain it to me. As long as I know, I won't ask anymore. If you don't tell me, of course I will be curious. After all, our world's common sense is different, which is normal." William said dissatisfied .
"Okay, listen to me, there are no mercenaries who are monarchs, or lords who are evil pattern envoys. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. Regardless of whether the monarch is fatuous, cruel or not, evil pattern envoys and mercenaries are wise. Or not, this world absolutely does not allow people other than the monarch to serve as rulers. Even if a monarch serves as a mercenary, it is just because he is only a knight's attendant. As long as he can defeat Chaos, make meritorious service, and be promoted to a knight, then at least There will also be a village.”
"What if I wanted to be a king!"
William stared at Francis with a playful look. As the ace of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group, even if the members of the mercenary group did not accept his leadership, they would never go against his wishes.
Don't look at the fact that Baron Antonio defeated Baron Bruni, absorbed the opponent's holy seal, inherited his territory, and his title is about to reach the level of quasi-viscount. It seems that he is at the highlight of his life, but as long as William wants to rebel, then his There is no way that two hundred soldiers can be his opponent.
In other words, just as Baron Antonio drove away Baron Bruni, he could easily drive away Baron Antonio.
Therefore, this is what he really doubts. There are many powerful evil characters in this world, but there are many weak monarchs. Why do the monarchs
The main system can achieve aristocracy and hereditaryization. Why are they willing to do this?
It's not surprising that sheep can rule the flock, but what's strange is that through the holy seal, it's a bit incredible that wolves can be ruled.
In the modern world where William lives, not to mention the distant East that shouts the slogan "Princes and generals should live together", even in the medieval West, Italy, the hometown of Erica and Liliana, Milan, usurped The Sforza family who took the throne of the Duke of Milan was born as a mercenary.
And this example is not an isolated one. The pauper knights in the Crusades also established their own countries one after another.
"You will become the enemy of this world." Francis said lightly.
"When I become a monarch, will I suddenly die suddenly?"
William frowned. The power of the church in this world is not strong, and many monarchs do not accept the logic of divine right of kings. Perhaps it is for this reason that no mercenary dares to usurp the throne despite the disdain of the world.
"You can also say that, William, did you see the man following Antonio?"
Francis patted William on the shoulder and pointed to the middle-aged man who looked like a butler next to Antonio, and then introduced, "That man's name is Nunn. He was sent to Baron Antonio by the Magician Association. He is the same as Aishela. People who have not passed the selection process at the Magic University are different; that person is a serious magician."
"The order of professions in this world is not the evil pattern user, the monarch, and the magician, but the monarch and the magician, and then the evil pattern user. The reason why I associate the monarch and the magician is that the monarch and magic The two professions of master are the same."
Francis said with a wry smile, "Because of this question, I also asked my father. I had the same confusion as you at the beginning. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, these three are all people with extraordinary power. But the biggest difference is that only the monarch and the magician have their own organizations, and they are all in the same group."
"Baron Antonio is a member of the Monarch Community Fantasy Poetry Union, which is one of the two major forces that dominate the continent. The Magician Association is located in Elam in the center. Its founder is the attendant of the first monarch Leo, with the great sage Therefore, students who graduate from the magic university there will learn various magics, absorb a lot of knowledge, and assist their monarchs in domestic affairs and diplomacy. Lord Nunn, for example, was dispatched only after he was recognized as being in charge of his own affairs. Come here to assist Lord Antonio."
"Theoretically, all magicians belong to the Magician Association. Magicians not only serve their monarchs and offer loyalty, but also supervise the monarch on behalf of the Magician Association, because the title is the creation of the Magician Association system and is awarded to those who calm chaos. Hero, because only the monarch has the Holy Seal and can quell chaos, so only the monarch can rule."
"But if the monarch does not fulfill his obligation as a monarch to suppress chaos, then he will be deprived of his title by the Magician Association. People who do not have the Holy Seal and the title become lords, and they are the enemies of the Magician Association and the enemies of all monarchs. The world will fight together. That’s right. It’s not that there weren’t evil pattern users who were bold enough to found their own country, but they were defeated by the Magicians Association. We also accepted the commission from the Magicians Association to conquer them.”
Francis explained with a smile, as if he wanted to tease William and asked deliberately, "Even so, do you still want to be the king?"
