The capital of Star Antimony is called Lionheart City.
The most central building in Lionheart City is the castle and Triumphal Palace built by Bashir Valentine, the greatest monarch of Star Antimony.
According to the rules of Avalon, Iris, and the Herasl Empire, such a monarch should be called "Bashir I", and only the monarch with the same name as him in the future can be called "Bashir II"
", just like the Hanged King of Avalon "Tudor III".
But only Star Antimony in the world has different rules.
Because as a civilian-born alchemist, the romantic and free Bashir Valentine had a special idea——
The surname "Valentin" means "powerful", which is what Bashir's grandfather told him. It is also a wish for him.
For civilians, their surnames are not important, and they can even change or replace themselves at any time. For example, the surnames of Bashir's father and grandfather are "Fabe", which indicates that their ancestors were a blacksmith. And his grandfather
I hope that he will not inherit his family business in the future, but will get another possibility, so I changed his surname.
His family starts from here.
——In other words, the first "Valentine" in this world is indeed Valentine I.
It is precisely because this surname itself gave Bashir some divine inspiration that he was able to write the occult book "The Triumph of Antimony".
This book pointed out another path for alchemists - that is, the possibility that "the most wild antimony can be sublimated into the most holy star antimony".
As long as the method is right, anyone can become a god.
And if this theory continues to be extended, another possibility can be extended.
That is "everyone can be a king".
Because Bashir himself was born as a civilian, he took a group of followers from the chaotic last Herasl Empire and established his own country. He knew the power and possibilities of civilians, and he valued the survival of Star Antimony more than anything else.
The survival of one's own bloodline.
Therefore, the first king left behind a rule that was unbelievable to people at the time, would cause great chaos, and has not yet been used...
——The person who inherits the throne does not necessarily have to have the blood of Valentine.
Because "Valentine" is a surname passed down by virtue of strength - the real name of the Star Antimony Monarch is "the powerful one", or "Valentine" or "Lion King". Each generation of Valentin
Lundin is the "Lion King of several generations."
As long as the red phase and the black phase are jointly recognized, even people outside of Star Antimony can inherit the surname "Valentine". No matter what the previous surname was, you can abandon the past surname and get Valentine
surname.
Because of this, the most fundamental principle of Xing Antimony is to promote talents.
——Theoretically, anyone can become the monarch of Star Antimony and become a "Valentine". In the same way, if an heir is too incompetent, he may be deprived of his "Valentine" by the red phase and the black phase.
Lundin's surname was also deprived of his inheritance rights.
And this also makes all Valentine dare not relax.
They have to compete with their brothers and sisters, as well as with particularly outstanding people with foreign surnames.
If no heir can be recognized by the two ancient prime ministers, and the previous king did not decide on a heir before his death...then it is very likely that someone with a foreign surname will get the throne.
As the "Valentines" of the same generation, they are destined to bear the title of "unprecedented incompetent" in the future history books of Star Antimony.
This is why the tremendous pressure on Sijardo Valentin comes from this.
At this moment, his father was asking another person in the Triumph Palace.
"——So, what do you think of Szijjártó?"
The white-haired old man sat in his dark golden study, frowning.
He held the pen and wrote on a piece of white paper.
And standing in front of him was a jester who looked like a clown.
There was thick white paint on his face, exaggerated red eyeliner under his eyes, and his hair was dyed olive green and fluffy like a broccoli. He was wearing the royal aristocratic attire.
It's a costume that can be worn, but it has colorful patches on it, and the word "genius" is written on the back in child-like handwriting.
"Oh, my dear Majesty."
The Fool replied with a smile, his voice rising and falling, like reciting poetry or singing: "Then it depends on your evaluation standards;
"If you want to ask about his muscles, then he is not a qualified man. Even a female hyena can pin him to the ground.
"But if you ask about his level of alchemy - oh, with all due respect, he can't be called a genius in any way;
"But if you talk about his level as a king, then I think he might be a good king, because he is compassionate and nostalgic, and he might give Lao Lalo a good job to support him in his old age... Oh, wait for Lao Lalo
When he gets so old that he can no longer stand up, he may still be a slave to some of the slaves who wait on Lalo to poop and wipe his urine."
"Okay, Lalo. All right. I understand what you mean."
The old king sighed and put down the pen in his hand: "Weak, silent, soft-tempered, and most importantly, lacks the talent for alchemy... Sure enough, he can't do it either."
The paper in front of him was still blank, with no writing on it.
Because the pen in the king's hand was not dipped in any ink at all.
"No need for additional tests, Your Majesty?"
"Well, no need. A mediocre person is a mediocre person no matter what, and what Xing Antimony needs is a genius who can solve all problems. But the girl he knows..."
The old king thought seriously: "Listen to that description, it is exactly the same as the 'Aleister' we fabricated before. She can't be His Majesty the Pope's glove, right?"
"It's possible, maybe the rumors have come true! It's so scary. The devil that only exists in rumors pops up and wants to kill people, wuwuwu..."
Lalo, the jester, was crying, dancing and acting funny.
The corners of the old king's mouth rose slightly, but soon became calm again.
"Go and reveal this news to Rosicrucian. Tell them that Aleister appeared in Leipzig and see how they react - my intuition tells me that she completed the ceremony that promoted the host of the banquet."
"You mean, there is a traitor inside Rosicrucian? That's terrible, hee hee hee..."
The Fool couldn't help but laugh: "Ms. Kingsford, I presume?"
"Probably. Otherwise, how could that 'Aleister' know that the 'liver' left alive by 'The Fool' Dionysus is stored in the hands of Earl Daun? Apart from me, the principal and Jacob, there are only those who have learned
Some high-level officials knew where it was - it had been alive for less than twenty years, and it was Jacob who took it out after forcibly opening an imperial secret in order to thank Rosicrucian for his help.
"As far as I know, Pomponazzi has wanted that liver for a long time...he originally sent Heinrich to Rosicrucian just to get it.
"——After all, without the liver that can be used to 'hangover', the 'Fool' will never become a complete 'Bacchus'; and Zagreus, who is two-in-one with the God of Dionysus, will always be '
The master of the banquet cannot become the Tiansi of Banquets or the Tiansi of Wine..."
When the old king said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly with satisfaction, and he had an uncontrollable smile.
Although the power of the Banquet Master has long surpassed that of Ying Tiansi... But if he wants to upgrade with Dionysus, he must let this liver be released from the seal.
Although the Fool failed to challenge the Beast Master in the past and his body was torn into pieces, his heart was still preserved as a gift by the Beast Master.
The feaster stole and ate the Fool's heart, allowing Dionysus to be resurrected in his body... However, there is no doubt that Dionysus, who once refused to become the apostle of the Pillar God, did not want to use this method.
There was no other way to survive. Therefore, he hid the location of his last body parts and forced the host, who was promoted to an apostle, to spit them out.
——That was originally the Fool’s last prank.
Long before the decisive battle, he cut out his liver in the elf state, preserved it, and threw it into the sea.
The deep sea is a secret realm that even the Nine Pillars cannot see.
If he loses - and of course he will - and the beast master attempts to devour him, he will find that he cannot find his most delicious liver, and his soul will always be missing a vital piece, which may anger him.
Beast master...
This is the "last joke and resistance" he prepared.
In fact, even if Dionysus didn't hide his body parts, he would have no idea where it drifted to.
"Peng Bonaqi was originally a believer of the banquet master. As the first son of the moon, Xue Tiansi is also the son of the banquet master. If he can break the seal, he can let the banquet master sense the location of the liver, so that the banquet master can
Seize the last piece of the fool's soul left in the world, and completely upgrade it to Yantiansi.
"There is no doubt that this achievement is enough to elevate him to an apostle. But... hahahaha..."
The old king laughed loudly, obviously in a happy mood: "Hmm... Although I don't know what ritual Earl Daun planned to use to steal its power, he is dead now.
"That Aleister completely ruined Pomponazzi's plan - I think this may also be the lady's plan. Since Earl Daun has been exposed, it is better to destroy it directly.
"——Based on what I know about Peng Bonazi, I'm afraid he's already smashing things and cursing at the same time."
