Chapter 1493: Chaos (1)
"Is he the Third Prince, one of the leaders of the three factions you mentioned?"
"That's him. I don't have much contact with the members of the royal family of the Chili Tribe. I usually face the leader of the Chili Tribe directly. This time, the Third Prince came with me. I told him a lot and learned a lot. He seems to be trying to rope me in, so he's quite close to me."
Yun Feng frowned. She didn't want Ze Ran to be involved in the royal family's conflict. The reason why the leader of the Chili Royal Family valued him was because he was neutral. The leader of the Chili Royal Family was truly relieved. Once Ze Ran had a relationship with one of the factions, it would definitely make the leader of the Chili Royal Family vigilant. However, if he wanted to understand the conflicts between the factions of the royal family, he had to be close to one of them.
"Ze Ran, it's been hard on you. You're in danger because of me."
Ze Ran was stunned for a moment after hearing that. Then, he smiled. "What are you talking about? Are you treating me like an outsider? You're my... best friend, the person I care about the most! It's what I should do for my friend!"
Yun Feng chuckled. "I know. I know everything."
Ze Ran smiled. "It's fine. I know what I'm doing."
Yun Feng nodded and Ze Ran continued, "The Chili Tribe has a special rule. The person who can get the throne isn't determined by the leader of the Chili Tribe himself, but by who has the purest dragon bloodline in the royal family."
"Dragon bloodline? You can ascend to the throne with the most Dragon bloodline?" Yun Feng was quite surprised. The relationship between the Chili Tribe and the Dragons was so close. The succession of the throne depended on the Dragon bloodline in their bodies.
"Hm, it seems that since ancient times, the Chili has already been a branch of the Dragons. There's indeed the bloodline of the Dragons in their bodies. It's said that the bloodline of the Dragons in the body of the current Chili King takes up half of the total!"
Half... No wonder the Chili was different from the Chiwen and the Chiyuan. In comparison, the Chiwen and the Chiyuan were simply child's play. No wonder the Chili Tribe was so proud. They indeed had the capital.
"Then there shouldn't be any dispute. Wouldn't whoever has the most dragon bloodline be able to inherit the throne?"
Ze Ran chuckled. "That's the difficulty. Among the Chili Tribe, only the members of the royal family have the bloodline of the Dragons. The purity of the bloodline of the Dragons among the members of the royal family is different. The difficulty is that in the current royal family, there is not one but three people whose bloodline of the Dragons has the highest ratio!"
Yun Feng raised her brows. Three? In other words, there were three people with the same ratio of bloodline in the royal family, so they could be divided into three factions? "The Third Prince of the Chili Tribe is one of these three, right?"
Ze Ran nodded. "One of them is the Third Prince of the Chili Tribe, another is the brother of the current leader of the Chili Tribe, and the last one is the son of one of the relatives."
After Yun Feng heard that, the kid among the three of them who had the least competitive power should be the son of the relatives. He wasn't a direct descendant. Those relatives couldn't beat the Third Prince and the brother of the King with their strength. There was probably a reason why this kid could become a faction.
"The Third Prince and the King's brother were originally competing. The third person, whom nobody cared about, rose quietly. It seems that he rose powerfully in an instant with an unknown power behind him. I suspect that the power behind him is the Blood Souls you mentioned."
Yun Feng raised her brows. Why would the Blood Souls participate in the contest for the throne of the Chili Tribe? Were they interested in the bloodline of the Chili Tribe, or were they interested in something else? The bloodline of the ancient Dragons should be inherited in the bodies of the Chili Tribe. The Red Dragons betrayed and became the dependents of the Blood Souls. The Blood Souls certainly noticed this. Among the Dragons, Ao Jin, the Golden Dragon, was probably the only one who could interest the Blood Souls, followed by the ancient Dragon bloodline in the bodies of the Chili Tribe.
"This son of the relatives who rose in an instant must have some means. It's possible that he's attached to the Blood Souls. However, the leader of the Chili Tribe allows others to interfere with the matters of his race?"
"Of course not. It's fine to fight within the clan, but the Chili King won't allow outsiders to interfere. The son of the relatives always does things in secret. Even the Third Prince and the brother of the King are just guessing. There's no concrete evidence."
They were so careful... It was indeed the style of the Blood Souls. Then, the map fragment... shouldn't be in the hands of this son of the relatives, or the Blood Souls would have already taken action. "That map fragment should be in the hands of the Chili King. The Third Prince told me that the three factions don't just want the throne, but also this map fragment."
"So, the Third Prince and the King's brother seem to have a reason to work together." Yun Feng smiled. Ze Ran raised the corners of his mouth. "I've seen the King's brother. He's too cunning and vicious. The Third Prince once suffered a huge loss from him. It's impossible for the two of them to work together. Most of the power in the royal family is in the hands of the Third Prince and the King's brother. The son of the relatives can only rely on the Blood Souls. After all, he's not a direct descendant."
Yun Feng finally had a thorough understanding of the situation of the Chili Royal Family. It was indeed extremely complicated. There were as many schemes among the Magic Beasts as there were among humans. It turned out that the world was the same everywhere.
"The proportion of the dragon bloodline is the same. How can they determine who will inherit the throne in the end?" Yun Feng was puzzled. Ze Ran said, "When the members of the royal family of the Chili Tribe are born, they measure the proportion of the dragon bloodline in their bodies. As time passes, for various complicated reasons, the proportion of the bloodline will change subtly until they become adults. After that, they'll be measured again. Before the king ascends to the throne, they'll take a third measurement to ensure the final value."
"The key to everything is the third measurement, but the amount will be fixed at adulthood. It's meaningless."
"No, it's different this time. The son of the relatives seems to have changed a bit. The dragon bloodline in his body changed after he became an adult!"
Yun Feng was surprised. It must be the Blood Souls! They must have used some special method. It seemed that they were determined to get this throne. "It seems that the Third Prince and the King's brother are both very anxious."
"That's right. The change in the son of the relatives has completely stirred the other two factions. Once the third measurement of the son of the relatives is higher, the throne will definitely fall into his hands. The Third Prince and the brother of the king seem to be looking for a way to change the ratio of the dragon bloodline in their bodies."
