Chapter 1100 Father and Son (Twenty-Nine)

From ancient times to the present, there is almost no royal family of any dynasty that can pass through dozens of generations without any conflicts about the right to succeed the throne. This is the so-called "no relatives in the royal family".

When there is only one throne and many candidates for succession, their conflicts are almost impossible to bridge. No matter how they whitewash their ambitions and desires, everyone wants to be the emperor.

Moreover, sometimes, it is not because of your character that you are free and easy and do not pursue power that you can not participate in the fight for the throne. Even if you don't want to participate, there are still people who want you to participate. ,

Moreover, once the battle for the throne breaks out, what you fight for is no longer the throne, but your own life. As long as you are involved in a little trouble, you will die if you can't win.

If you say that there is a possibility of a breakthrough in this almost completely unsolvable deadlock, Schiller thinks that there is, but it is not easy to achieve in ancient times. ,

And the way is the same as what Odin did, from beginning to end, maintain the choice of an heir, never waver, and tell everyone else that you have no chance.

It sounds a bit cruel and unfair, but it is indeed the best way to resolve the bloodshed in the fight for the throne.

In this matter, giving everyone the same chance means that the fight will not stop until one person wins and the others are all wiped out. It is better to declare the winner early. With the resources of the royal family, it is not easy to support a few idle princes, right?

When the medical conditions of ancient humans were not good enough, it was actually very difficult to implement this approach.

It is not that there are no wise kings who start to train their heirs early, but once the heirs have an accident, they will usher in a complete collapse.

However, Asgard almost does not have this problem. Each of their individuals is strong enough. As Odin's biological son, Thor's talent in strength is no less than his father, and the possibility of an accident is very small.

It can only be said that Odin deserves the title of the father of the gods. As early as when the two brothers were still young, he had found a good way to solve the fight for the throne from the root.

However, this is not unexpected. Odin led the Asgard fleet and dominated the universe for several years, almost undefeated.

If Asgard's population was not too small and it could not take the route of mass expansion, it would be unknown whether the universe would have three or four empires.

Schiller just opened his mouth to ask, and Odin seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "I guess you want to ask why I chose Thor. Is it because Loki is not my biological son?"

"I can tell you, yes."

"I know that you humans may think that it is not important to have a blood relationship, as long as you are close enough, but the premise is that the difference in your human power is very small."

"9The difference between the strongest and the weakest humans, in my opinion, is the difference between an ant and whether it has one leg missing, but Asgard is not like this. The upper limit of our power is determined by talent."

"You may have heard that Asgard People get stronger as they get older, but the speed at which Asgardians accumulate strength depends on their talents. Some people who have lived for a thousand years may not be as strong as those who have lived for two hundred years. This gap is very large. ",

"Although we are all strong as a whole, my bloodline is the strongest in Asgard, so it stands to reason that Thor will also be the strongest among the next generation of Asgardians. "

Odin sighed deeply, and even covered his unhealed eye helplessly. He said: "Loki is a frost giant, but the reason he was abandoned was because he was weak and sickly. "

"Although Asgard also respects strength, But we know very well who we are fighting for. If we cannot protect women, children, the elderly and the young, why should we board the warship? "

"But the Frost Giants are different. The hearts of those blue-skinned people are as cold as their body temperature. The weak do not deserve to live."

"When I picked up Loki, he was almost dead." Odin turned his mouth to one side and said, "You don't know how bad his condition was at that time. Frigga and I didn't think he could survive."

"The strongest of the Aesir and the weakest of the Frost Giants, the difference in power between them is terrible. You may think that Loki's magic is very good and can make up for his lack of power."

"But the problem is that as As time goes by, Thor will accumulate power faster and faster, but Loki's power will stagnate sooner or later.

Odin changed his hand, supported on his knees, and explained to Schiller: "Now, you can't see the difference between Thor and Loki, because at this age, the accumulation of their power has not yet formed a qualitative gap.

"At the same time, Loki's control of power is more precise, so in terms of performance, the difference between the two of them seems not big. '"

"But one day, Thor's power will usher in a qualitative breakthrough. At that time, no matter how fancy Loki uses magic, he can't make up for this gap. That day will come sooner or later. ”

Odin sighed deeply and said, "When I was young, I had many playmates who could fight with me in the arena for hundreds of rounds. We were evenly matched, and sometimes I couldn't even beat them."

"But after my adolescence, the speed at which my strength accumulated began to grow rapidly. Since then, I have not encountered many opponents in the entire universe. Moreover, after I entered old age, the increase in strength became even more terrifying."

"You say, in this situation, how can I choose Loki? What if I help him to the throne and he is beaten to death by others? Even if he is not beaten to death, it is not okay if he is injured!"

Odin touched his beard and said helplessly, "The fleet of Asgard can win every battle, all thanks to a spirit. They firmly believe that their king is invincible, so they will always Will bravely move forward and never retreat. "

"If one day, they find that their king has been defeated, it will not be a matter of one or two defeats. The faith of the entire Asgard may collapse."

"Asgard needs to change its route, but at least it must ensure that our god king is strong enough, at least stronger than everyone in Asgard."

"What do you think Loki will do if he finds out that ordinary Aesir who are not as strong as him have surpassed him halfway through his reign?"

Odin shook his head slowly and said, "After I learned about the prophecy of Ragnarok, I became more determined in my choice. No matter what, Asgard must fight a real battle. I can't choose a weakling as king, no matter how smart he is, if his fists are not big enough, everything will be in vain."

Schiller had been listening quietly, without giving anyone a chance. He didn't know how to reply, but unexpectedly, Odin's topic surprised him again. Odin said directly:

"In fact, among my children, Hela has the best talent. She is even stronger than her brother, but her brain is not normal, or it is because Frigga and I did not teach her well."

Odin showed a somewhat tangled expression and said, "But you have to understand, this is my first time as a father, how can I know how to teach correctly?"

"I told him that he should be stronger, bolder, and more courageous. I didn't expect that she only learned these in her life."

When he said this, the wrinkles on Odin's face had all been squeezed together, and he sighed again and said:

"You may think that I locked Hela up because she wanted to usurp the throne, but in fact, I wish she would usurp the throne. If she can really beat me head-on, Frigga and I will move immediately. Go back to the World Tree to retire."

"The problem is that the way she wants to overthrow me is not to defeat me head-on, but to be coerced by those warmongers and want to use a method that is not suitable for the King of Asgard to gain power."

"Besides, it's useless to defeat me. She only learned the part of war that is to go forward without hesitation, but she didn't learn to judge the situation, carefully formulate strategies, and retreat when necessary."

"In that case, if I hand Asgard over to her, it will be like letting a powerless child get a naval gun. She will kill everyone."

6In short..."Odin leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and looking at Schiller, and said: ""This is the situation. If you think I have done something wrong, he can point it out directly. I won't be angry. Even if I am angry, I shouldn't be able to do anything to you. "

Then, Schiller sighed deeply.

Objectively speaking, Odin has done almost everything he can do. If you want to give him a score for his life, he must have reached more than 90 points.

He has two roles in his life, one is the God King of Asgard, and the other is the father of the Odin family. Of these two roles, being the God King is indeed more successful, but his score as a father is not low.,

Some people may think that the feud with Hyrule, the relationship between Thor and Loki was not handled well, and finally failed to successfully break through Ragnarok, isn't this enough of a failure?

But in fact, it also depends on the difficulty of his test. The gods, the royal family, the military, many children, and destined to be destroyed are many orders of magnitude more difficult than ordinary human families.

What Odin handed in is even considered relatively Excellent answer sheet. If it were a stupid, short-sighted and hesitant king, Hela would have shaken his prestige and rule first, and then he would have to deal with various unrests in the next few hundred years.

Then, the two brothers were given unrealistic expectations, and they were asked to bring a group of teams to fight each other to the last chess piece. The dynasty would have perished without the Ragnarok.

The disputes over the throne were the most fatal, but in this case, Thor and Loki actually had a sincere brotherhood, and they both loved Asgard and were willing to shed their last drop of blood for their country and hometown.

When Schiller thought of this, he felt that there was no need to adjust the royal disputes. After all, no matter how much he adjusted, he could not get a second throne, and as long as there were no two thrones, he could not be absolutely fair.

Schiller thought for a moment, then looked at Odin and said, "I can't guarantee that I can do better if I were you. However, although the logic and formula are correct, I still want to point out that you are not good enough in some details, such as understanding, companionship and comfort, and these details have accumulated, leading to the current embarrassing situation."

What Schiller didn't expect was that Odin nodded and said, "Indeed."

"But it was because I knew I had to fight outside and had no time to accompany Thor, so I picked up Loki and brought him back. The two of them As long as we have a good relationship, it doesn't matter if they don't like me. Anyway, they can't beat me. "

Schiller opened his mouth, then closed it. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth again. Then, he looked at Odin with a sincere look and said, "Your Majesty, you are not sick. Otherwise, please go back."

"This is definitely not a compliment." Schiller stretched out his hand to stop Odin from speaking. He said, "Of all the people who came to me for help, you are the most open-minded."

"You think too much, even more than me as a doctor."
