Wizard Immortal

Chapter 469 Selection

"The bloodline of the Soon royal family should have originally been consistent with the bloodline power contained in this black jade. However, later, the source of the Soon royal family's bloodline perished, causing the bloodline power to begin to decline. Although it can still give the descendants extraordinary power, it no longer has the great power it once had."

"Based on the surrounding history, this period should be the time when the former Kingdom of Soon began to decline, its territory began to shrink, and it gradually became a small duchy."

Standing there, Adir pondered: "And after that, the bloodline of the Soon royal family began to become impure, and the power contained in their bloodline began to decline, which is why they gradually became what they are today."

As a fourth-level being who advanced through the power of bloodline, Adir naturally had a deep understanding of this kind of power.

Although there is no clear record, according to Adir's understanding, if the source of a bloodline is cut off, the descendants of that bloodline will also be affected in some way, eventually manifesting in various forms.

Just like the Moon Elf bloodline. In ancient times, the Moon Elf bloodline was incredibly powerful, and the Moon Elf King's fame spread far and wide across many worlds, enjoying widespread renown.

At that time, the number of pure-blooded moon elves was unimaginable to wizards today. There were even more than one or two elves who broke through the bloodline limit and became emperors. Their power was at its peak.

However, after the fall of the Emerald Mother, the Moon Elf bloodline began to decline, and now, there are very few pure-blooded Moon Elves left.

Adir even suspected that the natural curses that existed in the bloodline of the moon elves, as well as the extinction of the elves in the Emerald World, were related to the fall of the Emerald Mother.

The terrifying consequences made Adir shudder even at the thought of them.

Similarly, if the ancient king who is the source of the bloodline falls, it is normal for the descendants of the Soon royal family to be affected, and even for their bloodline power to begin to decline.

As for the other bloodlines that exist within the royal bloodline of Soang, that's perfectly normal.

After all, as the absolute nobility of this world, it is perfectly normal for people of different bloodlines to intermarry.

According to the history that Adir knows, there were more than one princess of the Kadra royal family who married the Marquis of Soon in the centuries before that, not to mention other times.

After such a long historical transformation, the ancient bloodline to which the Soon royal family originally belonged gradually became thinner, and even the bloodline inheritance they originally possessed gradually disappeared. Their power also continued to decline. First, they went from being a huge kingdom to a small vassal principality. Then, hundreds of years ago, they were conquered by the Calard Empire and became its subjects, the so-called Marquis of Soon.

Now, this last territory of the bloodline has been seized by Adir, and the entire family will soon lose all its glory and disappear into the long river of history.

Of course, in reality, although the territory was forcibly seized by Adir, Marquis Soon was, after all, a marquis recognized by the Calad Empire. Not only did he possess the various privileges promised by the empire, but he also naturally had a huge influence and right of succession over the state of Elka, so he was still worth some money.

Now, the entire territory of the Marquis of Soon has been annexed by Adir, and the entire Soon royal family has been wiped out by Adir. If nothing unexpected happens, after a while, a large number of so-called descendants of Soon will probably emerge and fight tooth and nail for the title and privileges of that marquis.

Of course, as the de facto lord of the entire Elka state, Adir, while not afraid of trouble, also did not want to be entangled in it.

Therefore, he was already prepared in this regard.

The bottle of bloodline extracted from the Soon royal family in front of me was prepared for this purpose.

With that thought, he calmly got up, put away the bottle of blood that was locked inside the witch array, and then walked out the door.

"Is there another recruitment notice?"

On the bustling street, groups of people swayed about.

As a messenger appeared on the high platform ahead, the players immediately erupted in excitement.

"What are you recruiting for? A village chief or a sheriff? Even a patrol team would be fine!"

Looking at the messenger standing on the high platform ahead, a group of players had burning eyes, the light in their eyes almost tangible, engulfing the messenger standing on the platform.

"Everyone, don't rush, don't rush!"

Looking ahead at the dense crowd below, the messenger's voice was a little hoarse, but seeing the scene before him, he was still somewhat relieved and happy that he didn't have to stand below the stage to get there.

Unsurprisingly, this messenger was also a player, and one of Lera's subordinates, a member of the so-called Founding Association.

As founding members of the association, after Lera and Slim rose to prominence, they naturally promoted their own members, giving priority to their friends and subordinates for opportunities and positions that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

The messenger before us was just like that. As a core member of the founding association, he was both lucky and capable, which enabled him to stand out from the crowd of players and obtain this rare opportunity.

Keep in mind that after more than half a year of game progress, finding a job under Prince Hisoka at this point is extremely difficult.

Nowadays, as long as you can join Prince Hisoka's ranks, even if you are just an ordinary soldier or a maid, you will instantly become a highly sought-after figure. Major investment institutions and famous player guilds will immediately come to you, promising you all sorts of conditions, just to win you over.

One reason for this is that they are by Prince Hisoka's side, but more importantly, Prince Hisoka's subordinates often receive various benefits that cannot be obtained elsewhere.

Whether it's the various incredible potions, or the items and knight seeds with magical powers, they are all sought after by countless players. If you manage to get your hands on one, you can immediately become a millionaire by reselling it.

These items are only available to those under Prince Hisoka's command; others can only watch with envy, unable to gain any benefit whatsoever.

Especially recently, news has circulated that Prince Hisoka, in order to make up for the lack of strength among his subordinates, has opened a knight course to his players. As long as they have enough merit, even a lowly servant can attend.

These various preferential conditions are the reasons why Prince Hisoka has attracted so many players. As a result, there are always a large number of players waiting in Sisley City for the opportunity to join Prince Hisoka's ranks.

And recently, it has become clear that this is a very good time.

With the annexation of Soang territory by Prince Xisuo, theoretically, the entire province of Elka became Prince Xisuo's domain.

This territory is many times larger than Sisley City, and naturally, a large number of people are needed to govern it.

Therefore, during this period, local magistrates and soldiers needed to be re-conscripted, creating numerous opportunities.

As a result, during this period, whenever a messenger appeared on the high platform, a group of players would gather around, waiting for him to announce the recruitment.

"Forget about it, this isn't a recruitment drive for sheriffs."

Seeing the expectant expressions on the faces of the many players below, the messenger announced the news expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the many players below remained unchanged. Apart from a few who showed disappointment, the expectation in the eyes of the rest did not diminish at all.

"Only one person will be recruited this time, and the recruitment conditions are very strict."

Looking at the large group of players gathered below, the messenger tried to lower his voice, creating a tense atmosphere: "First of all, you must be tall enough and handsome enough!"

"Those who are under 1.8 meters tall can take a break."

Upon hearing this, many players below twitched at the corners of their mouths, feeling a deep sense of malice coming their way.

"Does this requirement mean they're going to directly recruit officers? Or perhaps the kind of ceremonial guards?"

Below, some quick-thinking players made their guesses, and some people's eyes lit up immediately.

Officers, especially those in the guards, have always enjoyed good treatment; their status and benefits are certainly much higher than those of ordinary officers.

"The second condition, besides being handsome and tall, is that one must be fluent in Kara German and Soang, and also be able to write."

"In addition, one must be proficient in aristocratic etiquette, have a good understanding of Elka State and the entire Calard Empire, and even have a grasp of the history of the Calard Empire over the past few hundred years."

The messenger continued, looking at the many players below with deep sympathy in his eyes.
