Chapter 1633
"A... plunder targeting bloodlines?"
"Yes."
After nodding and confirming the theory he proposed again, Leon glanced at the few Princes and Wang Nu who were a bit confused, then continued to ask the old Emperor:
"Your Majesty, regarding this conjecture, there is one thing I still need to confirm with you... Can you tell me, what exactly is the order of succession of these few Highnesses based on?"
"This..."
Hearing this, the old Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:
"Regarding the order of succession, there is actually a whole set of very complex standards. I'm not very clear on the specifics, but it's basically age, maternal background, blood kinship... blood kinship?!"
It seems I must have guessed right.
Looking at the old Emperor, who seemed to have understood something and suddenly widened his eyes, Leon couldn't help but sigh in his heart, then said with an ugly expression:
"According to the situation I inquired about from Prince Vernon, the mothers of him, who is in the fourth order of succession, and Wang Nu Anbeisi, who is in the second, are both collateral branches of the Sika Laiwen Royal Family. Wang Nu Anbeisi's mother even only branched out from the 'main line' two generations ago.
As for Wang Nu Aili'er and Wang Nu Cuisitana, who are in the seventh and tenth orders of succession, their mothers are not from the Kingdom of Sika Laiwen, but from other kingdoms, so..."
"So the higher the 'concentration' of the bloodline, the slower the speed at which the hair color is changed?"
"It is the slower the speed at which it is 'plundered', or rather, the longer it can persist."
After correcting the old Emperor's words, Leon frowned and said:
"I looked at the Director... Miss Olivia's hair before. Only the ends of a few strands of hair at her temples were slightly black. This should be related to the fact that she has some 'atavistic' bloodline, but even for a special case like her, her own bloodline has still been slightly plundered.
So I think this plunder targeting the bloodline of the Twin Kingdoms should be stable and uniform in speed, but no one, no matter how high their bloodline concentration, can escape it; they can only hold on for a while longer, and this change is mostly irreversible."
How could this be?!
Hearing Leon's words, the few people in the hall were shocked. Wang Nu Cuisitana, the youngest of the three Wang Nu, couldn't help but grab her sister's skirt, opening her big eyes and saying with a face full of terror:
"Then... then if the bloodline is completely taken away, what will happen to us? Will... will we die?"
"Death shouldn't happen."
After pointing to the black-and-white mixed hair color on his own head, Leon answered quite firmly:
"If only the hair color of the citizens of the Kingdom of Sika Laiwen turned from white to black, then that would indeed be possible. But whether it's myself or the other remnants of the Eastern Kingdom of Kalewen with black hair that I've seen on the airship, they have also experienced hair color changes.
And whether it's authority, bloodline, or any other power, it won't suddenly appear or disappear; it must have its own source. So I think this 'plunder' should be bidirectional, and can even be called a kind of 'exchange'.
Someone is using a method I don't yet understand to forcibly exchange the bloodlines of the citizens on both sides, so the bloodline you lose will be supplemented accordingly, and your body won't be too greatly affected. The most serious result is just persistent low fever and a few days of dizziness."
"Not hurting us, just replacing the bloodline? Then what exactly is he trying to do by doing this?"
Hearing this, the old Emperor couldn't help but ask:
"No matter who they are, there must be a purpose for doing such a thing, right?"
As for the purpose... it's actually already very obvious.
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but blink, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes. It's indeed not easy to guess the purpose by blindly guessing, but since the Luwang Society is behind this, and the Luwang Society's biggest goal has always been to break the Watchtower Palace, then it definitely won't be wrong to directly apply it to the Watchtower Palace.
In the Ophiuchus Erosion incident, the direct bloodline of the Eastern Kingdom of Kalewen had been completely erased, and the corresponding mark on the Watchtower Palace had long since become invalid, losing the ability to strengthen the Watchtower Palace's shielding effect.
Then as long as this exchange is completed, using the "dead" bloodline of the Eastern Kingdom of Kalewen to forcibly replace the bloodline of the Sika Laiwen Royal Family, then the Kingdom of Sika Laiwen will also be equivalent to "dead," and the corresponding mark will also lose its effect.
And given the current situation of the Watchtower Palace, as long as it loses any one "mark," it will weaken to the point of allowing True Gods to pass through freely. Their goal must be this; there is almost no other possibility.
What is bothering him the most right now is actually not the goal of the Luwang Society, but the goal of the Director's trip.
After recalling the Director's strange words and deeds, as well as that sky-filling... white ash, Leon's brow couldn't help but knit tighter and tighter.
If it were to stop the Luwang Society, there would be no need for the Director to hide from him. So thinking in reverse, since she chose to act privately, it proves that what she wants to do must be something that he or the Cleanup Bureau would not want to see.
And something that he and the Cleanup Bureau would not want to see, and that is also happening in the Kingdom of Sika Laiwen, naturally is letting the Luwang Society succeed. So she will very likely decide to stand on the side of the Luwang Society for some reason next, and in turn become his opponent.
As for what this reason is...
"Sorry, Your Majesty."
!
After shaking his head hard and throwing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Leon looked up at the old Emperor on the throne and said apologetically:
"The other party's goal concerns an important secret of our Cleanup Bureau. The confidentiality level is the highest one, and it's quite troublesome to explain. It's not convenient for me to reveal it to you right now.
The news I can tell you now is that they are indeed plotting a very dangerous thing, and once they really succeed, the entire world will fall into a crisis.
At that time, not only your Kingdom of Sika Laiwen, but all human settlements in the entire world may frequently suffer from disasters of abnormal scale, and no one will be able to stay out of it. Whether this disaster can be avoided depends on whether you few are willing to help me."
A disaster endangering the entire world?
After hearing Leon's words, the few people with panda-colored highlights couldn't help but look at each other, then cast their eyes toward the old Emperor on the throne simultaneously.
And after vigilantly examining Leon's expression and finding that he didn't seem to be shooting at random, the old Emperor couldn't help but grit his teeth and slammed the scepter in his hand hard against the carpet.
"Of course we will help! Since it is a disaster endangering the entire world, our Kingdom of Justice naturally cannot ignore it! Your Excellency Leon, just say whatever help you need! Whether it's manpower, material resources, equipment, or soldiers, we can give you whatever you want!"
"These are not urgent..."
Looking at the old Emperor with a face full of righteousness on the throne, Leon couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then pointed to the three non-mainstream Wang Nu beside him and requested somewhat shyly:
"I would like to ask you to pick one from among the three Wang Nu and temporarily hand over the throne to her to inherit... Do you find it convenient to abdicate today?"
"..."
(wДw)?! (wДw)?!!!
