Chapter 962: The Inescapable Disaster
Chapter 962: The Inescapable Disaster
"A bloodline-targeting...plunder?"
"Yes."
After nodding to confirm his own statement, Leon glanced at the confused princes and princesses, and then continued to ask the old king:
"Your Majesty, regarding this conjecture, I have something I need to confirm with you... Can you tell me the basis for the succession order of these princes?"
"This one……"
The old king hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"Regarding the order of succession, there is actually a whole set of very complicated standards. I am not very clear about the details, but it is basically age, maternal family origin, blood relationship...blood relationship?!"
It seems that I guessed right.
Looking at the old king who seemed to understand something and suddenly widened his eyes, Leon couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said with a bad look:
"According to what I learned from His Highness Vernon, he, who is fourth in line, and His Highness Amber's mother, who is second in line, are both side branches of the Sikalevin royal family. In fact, His Highness Amber's mother was only separated from the 'main line' two generations ago.
As for the seventh and tenth place princesses Ariel and Tristana, their mothers were not from the Kingdom of Sikalevin, but from other kingdoms, so..."
"So the higher the 'concentration' of blood, the slower the hair color changes?"
"It means that the speed of being 'plundered' is slower, or the longer you can hold out."
After correcting the old king's words, Leon frowned and said:
"I took a look at Miss Olivia's hair before. Only the ends of the few strands of hair on her temples were slightly darker. This should be related to the fact that some of her bloodline has 'reverted'. But even for a special case like her, her bloodline has still been slightly plundered.
So I think this plunder of the Twin Kingdom's bloodline should be stable and uniform, but even people with high blood concentrations cannot escape, they can only hold on for a little longer, and this change is most likely irreversible."
how come? !
After hearing what Leon said, several people in the palace were shocked. Princess Tristana, the youngest of the three princesses, couldn't help but grab the hem of her sister's skirt and said with wide eyes and horror:
"Then...then what will happen to us if our bloodline is completely taken away? Will we...die?"
"Death probably won't happen."
After pointing at his black and white hair, Leon answered with certainty:
"If only the citizens of the West Karawen Kingdom had their hair change from white to black, then that's possible, but both myself and the other black-haired survivors of the East Karawen Kingdom that I met on the airship also had their hair color change.
Regardless of whether it is power, bloodline, or any other power, they will not suddenly appear or disappear. They must have their own origins. So I think this kind of "plunder" should be two-way, and can even be called a kind of "exchange."
Someone is forcibly exchanging the blood of the people on both sides using some method I don't understand yet, so the blood you lost will be replenished accordingly, and your body will not be affected too much. The most serious result is a low-grade fever and a dizzy head for a few days. "
"Not harming us, just replacing our bloodline? Then what exactly does he want to do by doing this?"
When the old king heard this, he could not help but ask:
"No matter who they are, there must be a purpose for doing this, right?"
As for the purpose...it's actually very obvious.
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but blink, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. It's really hard to guess the purpose, but since the King Slayer Society is behind this matter, and the King Slayer Society's biggest goal is always to break the Watch Palace, then it will definitely not be wrong to directly put it on the Watch Palace.
In the Snake Husband Eclipse incident, the direct bloodline of the East Karawen Kingdom had been completely wiped out, and the corresponding mark on the Watch Palace had long since become ineffective, losing the ability to strengthen the Watch Palace's shielding effect.
Then, as long as this exchange is completed, and the blood of the "dead" East Kareven Kingdom is used to forcibly replace the blood of the West Kareven royal family, then the West Kareven Kingdom will be "dead", and the corresponding mark will also lose its effect.
And given the current situation of the Watch Palace, if it loses any more "marks", it will be weakened enough to allow the true gods to pass freely. This is definitely their purpose, and there is almost no other possibility.
What bothers him the most right now is not the purpose of the King-Slaying Society, but the purpose of the Director's trip.
Recalling the director's strange words and deeds, as well as the white ash flying all over the sky, Leon's brows suddenly became tighter and tighter.
If the purpose was to stop the King-Slaying Society, there was no need for the director to hide from him. So thinking about it the other way around, since she chose to act in private, it proved that what she wanted to do must be something that he or the Cleansing Bureau did not want to see.
What she and the Cleanup Bureau did not want to see happen in the Kingdom of Sikalevin was naturally to allow the King-Slaying Society to succeed. So she was very likely to decide to temporarily stand on the side of the King-Slaying Society for some reason and become her opponent.
As for what the reason is...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
After shaking his head vigorously to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Leon looked up at the old king on the throne and said apologetically:
"The other party's purpose is related to an important secret of our Cleanup Bureau. The confidentiality level is the highest, and it is quite troublesome to explain. It is not convenient for me to disclose it to you now.
What I can tell you now is that they are indeed planning something very dangerous, and if they succeed, the entire world will be in crisis.
By then, not only your Kingdom of Xikalewen, but all human settlements in the world may frequently suffer from disasters of unusually large scale, and no one will be immune. Whether this disaster can be avoided depends on whether you are willing to help me. "
A disaster that threatens the entire world?
After hearing what Leon said, the people with panda-colored highlights looked at each other, and then all turned their gazes to the old king on the throne.
After carefully examining Leon's expression and finding that he was not making a fuss, the old king gritted his teeth, raised the scepter in his hand and knocked the carpet hard.
"Of course we have to help! Since it is a disaster that threatens the entire world, we, the Kingdom of Justice, naturally cannot ignore it! Lord Leon, please tell us what kind of help you need! Whether it is manpower, material resources, equipment or soldiers, we can give you whatever you want!"
"There's no rush for these..."
Looking at the righteous old king on the throne, Leon couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Then he pointed to the three non-mainstream princesses beside him and asked shyly:
"I would like to ask you to choose one of the three princesses and temporarily hand over the throne to her... Do you think it is convenient for you to abdicate today?"
"..."
(ΩДΩ)? ! (ΩДΩ)? ! ! !
