The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

From ancient times to the present, there is almost no royal family of any dynasty or generation that can pass on for dozens of generations without any conflicts about the right to succession.

When there is only one throne and many succession candidates, there is almost no possibility of their conflicts being bridged. No matter how much they try to whitewash their ambitions and desires, in the end, everyone wants to be emperor.

Moreover, sometimes, it's not because of your own personality, if you don't pursue power, you don't have to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent. Even if you don't want to participate, some people want you to participate.

What's more, once the battle for the throne breaks out, the fight is no longer for the throne, but for one's own life. As long as there is a little trouble, if you can't win the fight, you will die.

If there is any possibility of a breakthrough in such a dead end that is almost completely unsolvable, Schiller feels that there is, but it is not easy to achieve in ancient times.

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

It sounds cruel and not fair enough, but this is indeed the best way to resolve the bloodshed in the battle for succession.

In this kind of matter, give everyone the same chance. The result is that if one person wins and the others are all wiped out, he will not stop. It is better to announce the winner early and use the resources of the royal family to raise a few idlers. Isn't it easy, my lord?

When human medical conditions were not good enough in ancient times, it was actually very difficult to implement this approach.

It's not that there are no wise kings who start training their own heirs early, but once the heirs have an unexpected accident, they will usher in a complete collapse.

However, this problem hardly exists in Asgard. Each of them is strong enough. As the biological son of Odin, Thor's talent in strength is no less than that of his father, and the possibility of accidents is very small. .

It can only be said that Odin is worthy of the title of the father of the gods. As early as when the two brothers were still young, he had already found a good solution to the root cause of the struggle for succession.

However, this is not unexpected. Odin led the fleet of Asgard and dominated the universe for several years, almost without defeat.

If it weren't for the fact that Asgard's population is too small to take the route of violent soldiers, it is still unknown whether the universe will be the three empires or the four empires.

As soon as Schiller opened his mouth to ask, Odin seemed to see through his thoughts again, and said, I guess, you want to ask, why I chose Thor, is it because Loki is not his own?

I can tell you, yes.

I know, you humans may think that blood relationship is not very important, as long as you are close enough, but the premise is that the power gap between you humans is very small.

The gap between the strongest human being and the weakest human being, in my opinion, is the extent to which an ant has lost a leg, but this is not the case in Asgard. The upper limit of our strength is determined by talent.

You may have heard that Asgardians get stronger as they get older, but the speed at which Asgardians superimpose their power depends on their talents. Some people may live for a thousand years, and some people have not lived for a thousand years. Living two hundred years is more powerful, and the gap is very large.

Although we are all strong as a whole, my blood is the strongest in Asgard, so, as it should be, Thor will also be the strongest in the next generation of Asgardians.

Odin sighed deeply, and even covered his incomplete eye helplessly. He said, It's true that Loki is a frost giant, but the reason why he was abandoned in the first place was because he was weak and sick.

Although Asgard also respects strength, we are deeply aware of who we are fighting for. If we can't protect women, children, old and young, then why should we board a battleship?

But the Frost Giants are different. The hearts of those blue skins are as cold as their body temperature. The weak are not worthy of living.

When I picked up Loki, he was almost dead. Odin turned his mouth aside and said, You don't know how bad he was at that time. Neither Frigga nor I thought that he could die. survive.

The strongest of the Asa clan and the weakest of the Frost Giants, the power gap between the two is terrifying. Maybe you think that Loki's magic is very good and can make up for his lack of strength.

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

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

At the same time, Rocky's control over power is more precise, so in terms of performance, there seems to be little difference between the two of them.

But one day, Thor's power will usher in a qualitative breakthrough. At that time, no matter how fancy Loki uses magic, there is no way to make up for this gap. That day will come sooner or later.

Odin sighed deeply and said: When I was young, I also had quite a few playmates who could fight me hundreds of times in the martial arts arena. We were evenly matched, and sometimes I couldn't beat them. them.

However, after my youth passed, the speed at which my strength accumulated began to increase rapidly. Since then, in the entire universe, I have not encountered many opponents. Moreover, after I entered old age, the speed of my strength The increase is even more terrifying.

Tell me, in this situation, how should I choose Loki? If I put him on the throne, what should I do if he is killed by others? Even if he is not killed, he will not be able to do if he is injured!

Odin stroked his beard and said helplessly: Asgard's fleet is able to win every battle, all because of their vigor. They firmly believe that their king is invincible, so they will always move forward bravely, never Back off.

If one day, they find that their king has been defeated, it will not be a matter of defeat in one or two battles. The entire belief in Asgard may collapse.

Asgard wants to change course, but at least we must ensure that our God King is strong enough, at least stronger than everyone in Asgard.

You said, if Loki is halfway through his reign and finds out that the ordinary Asa protoss who are not as strong as him have surpassed him, what will he do?

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 has to fight with a sword and a gun. I can't Choose a weak person to be the king, no matter how smart he is, but his fists are not big enough, everything is useless.

Schiller has been listening quietly without any reply, but unexpectedly, Odin's topic surprised him again, and Odin said directly:

Actually, among my children, Hela's talent is the best. She is even stronger than his younger brother, but her mind is not normal, or it's because Frigga and I didn't teach it well.

Odin showed a somewhat tangled expression, and said, But you have to understand, I am a father for the first time, how do I know how to teach is right?

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

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

You may think that I locked up Hela because she wanted to usurp the throne, but in fact, I wish she could usurp the throne. If she really wins me head-on, Frigga and I will immediately move back under 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 militant factions, and she wants to use a method that is not suitable for the king of Asgard to gain power.

Besides, it's useless to win me. She only learned the part of the war that goes forward, but didn't learn the part of judging the situation, carefully formulating strategies, and withdrawing when it should be withdrawn.

In that case, I handed Asgard into her hands, that is, let a child with no strength get a naval gun, and she would kill everyone.

In short... Odin leaned forward, looked at Schiller with his elbows on his knees, and said, This is the situation. If you think I did something wrong, he can point it out directly. I won't be angry. Yes, even if I am angry, there should be nothing I can do about you.

Then, Schiller sighed deeply.

From an objective point of view, Odin has done almost everything he can do. If one were to rate his life, he must have achieved a score of over 90.

He has assumed 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, it is true that being a god king is more successful, but his father's score is actually Not low either.

Some people may think that the relationship between Thor and Loki has not been handled well, and the relationship between Thor and Loki has not been handled well, and in the end they failed to break through the dusk of the gods. Isn't this not enough failure?

But in fact, it also depends on the difficulty of his exam. Protoss, royal family, military country, many children, and doomed to destruction, this is more difficult than ordinary human families, I don’t know how many orders of magnitude.

What Odin handed over was even considered a relatively good answer sheet, but if it was a foolish, short-sighted and hesitant king, he would definitely have to be shaken by Hella first, and then in the next few hundred years, Coping with turmoil of all kinds.

Then, give the two brothers unrealistic expectations, let them each pull up a group of teams, and fight against each other until the last chess piece. Without Ragnarok, the dynasty will perish.

The conflict of interests in the struggle for the throne is the deadliest, but in this case, Thor and Loki really have a sincere brotherhood, and at the same time they both love Asgard and are willing to fight for their own. The country and hometown shed the last drop of blood.

When thinking of this, Schiller felt that there was no need to adjust the part about the royal disputes. After all, no matter how much adjustments were made, the second throne could not be adjusted, and as long as there are no two thrones, absolute fairness cannot be achieved. .

Schiller thought for a while, then looked at Odin, and said, I can't guarantee that if I were you, I could do better. However, although the logic and formula are correct, I still want to point out that you Some details are not good enough, such as understanding, companionship and comfort, and the accumulation of these details has led to a somewhat embarrassing situation now...

To Schiller's surprise, Odin nodded directly and said, Indeed.

But it's because I knew I was going to fight outside and didn't have much time to accompany Thor, so I picked Loki back. As long as the two of them 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, and after a few seconds of silence, opened his mouth again. Then, he looked at Odin with a sincere look and said: Your Majesty, you are not sick, why don't you You should come back, please.

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

You think too openly, even more openly than me, a doctor.
