Chapter 86: Thunderbolt: New Female Courtier, God's Chosen Knight, and Ascending the Throne
People often say that history is like a winding river. Most of the time, this river is gentle and steady, flowing slowly and calmly through grasslands, plains, and forests. This gives the illusion that the river is unchanging, that it will always flow at that slow, peaceful, and leisurely pace.

Su Li had always thought that life in the pioneer territory would be like the Black Water River flowing through the central plains, calm, peaceful and without any waves.

But suddenly, the turbulent tide of the times unexpectedly broke into the pioneering life of the Hessen Territory. Like the long river of history passing by a cliff, its flow suddenly accelerated in an instant, rushing thousands of miles, surging with unstoppable force.

In the early morning, there was a loud thunder and the first heavy rain of summer poured down. The raindrops as big as beans hit the eaves and leaves with a rustling sound.

Su Li was also awakened from his sweet dream by the thunder. He hugged the two female riders' soft and delicate bodies in his arms, stretched comfortably, and turned to look out the window.

The arrival of this heavy rain marks the arrival of summer.

Summer is the season of Thar, the god of summer and king of nature, ruling over wilderness and wildness.

He has a good relationship with the Goddess of Dawn, and many sacrificial activities are jointly organized by the pastors of their two churches.

But there are also contradictions, a subtle tension between Rhea's domestication of crops and livestock and Tal's dominance over the wilderness.

As summer approaches, the protection of the Goddess of Dawn will become a little weaker.

Although he was unexpectedly awakened on the first day of summer, all this did not affect Su Li's good mood. With the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, he happily kissed the foreheads of the two pretty female riders respectively, then found a comfortable position to lie down and checked today's intelligence updates.

[Your strong will to lie flat is enhanced by the timeline, and you can gain the ability of [Prophet of Destiny] while lying flat.]

[Since you are in a lying state, today's prophetic message has been updated. ]

[1: Grubba Bloodhand, leader of the Bloodhand Tribe, who invaded the territory of Grand Prince Surand, killed Xergoth, leader of the Gaunt Claw Tribe, successfully annexing the Gaunt Claw Tribe. Under his command, the Green Tide is about to form. He is not only a formidable leader, but also one of the most outstanding generals in history (for greenskins), one of the few Orc leaders with true leadership and tactical thinking. The coalition forces of the three Dukes of Surand, underestimating the intelligence of the Orcs, suffered a crushing defeat on the Visen Plains a cycle later. The corpses of the human coalition forces will become the foundation stone for Grubba Bloodhand's fame.]

[2: The intense atmosphere of the ongoing battles within the Black Forest Territory has attracted the attention of the Blazing Sun Goddess. A combat pilgrim group will visit the western territory today. Respect their leader, Ron Esari, and do not pressure them due to their limited strength, as this will incur the wrath of the God. Under the divine grace, Ron will briefly burst forth with the power of a Chosen Knight. This also presents an opportunity to choose a knight of the Blazing Sun Goddess's sect and be interrogated by him on their teachings. Answer: Bravery, you will receive [Divine Baptism]. Your knightly training will be lost, and you will embark on the path of knighthood training again, but your aptitude will be greatly enhanced, and your training speed will be doubled. Answer: Faith, you will gain the divine approval. A brotherhood of the Blazing Sun Knights will arrive in your territory within three months, numbering no fewer than 48.]

[3: A group of cultists will be hiding and flowing down from the Gray Mountains, taking root in the limestone valley northwest of the Jinke Mine. Eliminate them as soon as possible, otherwise they will attract evil monsters and pollute your territory.]

[4: A sinister and despicable wyvern will fly out of the Blood Pine Forest at : PM today to scout nearby territories. It is a sentinel of the Wings of Deceit, and at the turn of each season it flies out of the jungle to seek prey for its mistress after she awakens. You have no choice but to kill it.]

【5:……】

[6: Below the cliffs of Moonlight Highlands in the Green Hills, to the right, there is a narrow area of ​​yellow earth with little life. The reason why vegetation is hard to grow here is because a sacred wisteria seed was blown here seven hundred years ago. It absorbed all the fertility of the nearby soil. If no one digs it out, it will successfully absorb enough energy in three hundred and sixty years to germinate and grow 75 meters underground.]

……

[9: The frenzied fighting atmosphere within the Black Forest has attracted the attention of the Broken Toe Tribe within the Bloodpine Forest. These goblins have happily decided to join the frenzy. Within three days, they will attack your territory. This is a massive army of at least 5000 monsters, and they have successfully bred three Anarric Giant Spiders.]

[10: Use your most beautiful words and love poems to publicly confess your love to the maiden Phyllis of your territory. Tell her that you are deeply in love with her. Despite the vicissitudes of life, your love will remain forever, and will last for eternity until the end of time. Ask her to be your female courtier until you grow gray-haired and sleepy. This will be the most crucial aid in your ascent to the throne.]

Even after reading the last word in the dazzling golden light, Su Li had no reaction. No fear, no excitement, not even a wide-eyed shock.

He immediately turned off today's intelligence, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered, "I'm still half asleep. How could I have such a bizarre dream? And it's so clear."

He turned over and rubbed Hildurd's head. Hildurd was still asleep. He rubbed his hazy eyes sleepily, then gently slid out of his arms and got into the quilt.

Avril was soon awakened. When she got up and saw Su Li with his eyes closed and a comfortable look on his face, she knew that the knight's morning training had begun again. She took the initiative to hold Su Li's cheek and kissed him gently, helping him relax his body and mind and enjoy the beauty of the morning.

The morning sets the tone for the day, which is something even the goddess of dawn approves of.

Until Su Li enjoyed it to the extreme, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Avril who was so close to him. His pupils trembled violently and his face was full of disbelief. This was not a dream!

Hildur poked his head out from under the quilt, looked up at Su Li in surprise, and asked, "My Lord, what's wrong? You seem to be trembling all over, and your heartbeat is incredibly fast." Su Li hurriedly supported Avril's shoulders and asked her to sit aside. He sat up straight from the pillow, and then excitedly opened the intelligence system for today that he had just closed!
Is this world crazy?

Or is it that he opened it the wrong way?
Why is it that as soon as summer comes, the warmth and brightness of spring suddenly disappears, and violent storms come in an instant?

What kind of bullshit is this in today's intelligence?!
Each and every piece of information was too incredible. Not only did orc warlords and wyverns appear, but even information about the Chosen Knights and the throne appeared.

What the hell are these?

Want to write a love letter to Phyllis? Su Li hasn't done such a stupid thing since he graduated from junior high school.

Only those love-brained little girls would believe this, right?

But this is not a female love story, so why is there a need for confession? The key is that it is related to the throne?

Ascend to the throne!
The empire practices the electoral system, and the emperor's throne is not a unified inheritance. Even if Phyllis is a princess, he will not be able to ascend the throne if he marries her.

Even if she was the empress, there was no way she could guarantee that the throne would be passed on to her.

How could she allow herself to ascend to the throne?!

So Su Li turned around and looked at Hilde and Avril, who were looking at him nervously. Facing the concern in their wide eyes, Su Li paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and asked, "If I say... I can ascend the throne, will you two... believe it?"

The two of them opened their mouths in surprise at the same time. Their beautiful red lips would only react so intensely when serving Su Li.

Avril felt that this was a bit unladylike and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, but her wide eyes still revealed her current mood: "Master...isn't this a big contrast?"

Looking at her expression and reaction, Su Li knew what Xilude's attitude was. They both believed it in their hearts, or at least they believed it at the first moment.

If she didn't believe it at all, she wouldn't have such a strong reaction. After all, even if she was a duchess, if she heard her husband suddenly say that he might ascend the throne, she would just think that he was talking nonsense or trying to make her laugh.

Hildurde immediately grasped the crux of the matter. After calming down a bit, he frowned and asked, "But how do we achieve this? You don't have any legal principles."

There is no legal basis, and this is the crux of the problem.

Even if Phyllis was the Emperor's daughter, marrying her wouldn't have given him a valid claim to the Empire. The legal succession rights she received from the Emperor were merely Electoral propaganda, and would never reach Su Li. According to Imperial succession law, a child born to them would only have the weaker claims of the Electoral Grand Prince and the Bauhinia Earldom.

There is basically no need to think about the Earldom of Bauhinia, unless all the members of the Bauhinia family in Bauhinia Castle are dead, otherwise it will never be the turn of Su Li's son and daughter. What's more, their biological father Su Li is still alive. Even if an accident happens, he will inherit the Earldom of Bauhinia.

Phyllis is obviously not a princess. The current emperor comes from the Grand Princedom of Avalan in the heart of the empire, with its capital at Terrabheim, and the royal family is the Franz family.

Su Li couldn't imagine how he could be involved with the throne!
Unless he unified the border princes and became the Grand Prince of Hesse, he would have the possibility of being voted as emperor.

The Empire does add Elector Counties. From its initial existence as the Bjorn Tribal Alliance, the Empire has grown to twelve Elector Counties, nine of which remain. The remaining three, along with their respected ruling families, have perished. Two were destroyed by monster invasions, their territories annexed by other Elector Counties. One historically rebelled and was abolished by an enraged Emperor.

But the Electoral College has a total of 16 people, including these nine secular electors and several theocratic electors.

For example, the Church of the White Wolf God has two voting qualifications, so Su Li doesn't have to think about it. They will only vote for the Grand Prince of Middenland every time because their base is in Middenland.

The official Redmar Church of the Empire has three electoral votes, but they will only vote for the Grand Princedom of Avalan because Terrabheim is the seat of their church.

Even if Su Li became a secular elector, ascending to the throne would be incredibly difficult. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply let the information slide. Ascending to the throne was only a possibility in the future, while the other crises that could destroy the territory were imminent and real.
