Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

The second type is aimed at those who really have the throne or clan title in their family to inherit. If families of the same size like Ramirez and Viglas want to get married, the first surname of their children is especially important - this Determines which family's genealogy the child's name will appear on.

A very important point is that the offspring obtained through marriage are also qualified to compete for the family heir of the first surname.

Because compared to the illusory blood relationship, the strength of blood is the factor that determines the rise and fall of a family.

The bloodline of an heir born from the union of members of two families with strong bloodlines will obviously be stronger. Which family the first surname of such a child belongs to is often a matter that can lead to fierce disputes between the two parties.

They don't care about blood, they care about strength.

They are strong enough to maintain the family's inheritance and glory. If necessary, they will not even mind letting a street kid become one of them - if that kid's talent is really good.

The competition between the direct line and the collateral line in the family is even more intense. If the descendants of this generation of direct line are not strong enough, then the family will change to a direct line - this is a very common operation among various families.

So in fact, many families can’t tell the similarities and differences between the bloodline of their current generation and the bloodline of the generation a few pages back in the family tree - they don’t care about this. The so-called family is just an interest group composed of powerful people - this This statement only applies to most families.

The "few" families only refer to the four well-known families. This name does not mean that "newspaper editors need to gather four families, so they select the top four families from a group of families to make up the 'four'". "Big families'" is produced in this way, not "if the editor wants to write about five, six, or seven families, then there can be five, six, and seven families."

There will be no fifth family member at the same level.

Their size has far surpassed other families.

The bloodlines of other families are in a mess - but each of the four major families can find the similarities between the bloodline magic of this generation of clan members and the first generation of ancestors, and even set up special genealogy research and explain the continuation of bloodline magic from the first generation of ancestors. changes that have occurred in the process up to now. Apart from these four families, no other family can do this.

As mentioned just now, other families are essentially interest groups, and only the four major families are families in the true sense.

The reason why their bloodline magic inheritance has not changed much so far is closely related to the power of the "bloodline" itself.

When two powerful bloodlines appear in the same person's body, a war for dominance will occur between them. The more powerful bloodline will remain as the main bloodline, and the other bloodline will either be fused or dissolved.

It is worth mentioning that the main bloodline must be exactly the same as the bloodline of the first generation ancestor of the family, and whether the fused bloodline can be passed on depends on whether that bloodline is strong enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that the main bloodline is the foundation of the four major families, which determines their status above ten thousand people today.

As early as when those four couples gave birth to their first children thousands of years ago, today's "Four Families" had already taken shape.

……

Family members who are strong enough can control the amount of blood they leave to their descendants when they marry their spouse. In other words, both parties to the marriage can decide on the first surname of their descendants after consultation.

It is not surprising that the Ramirez family wants a child who is married to the other three families. Such a child will not be inferior in talent and will be a great help to the development of the entire family.

What's more, the marriage partner they proposed is the heir of the family, and the heir cannot have no descendants. This is the consensus of the four major families.

If you want the right to own the child's first surname, you should compensate the "spouse" with other things...

While Ernest was thinking about it, the woman said to him:

"Delineate the scope of the options yourself, and then bring the list to me. If there are no problems, you can play freely according to your list."

This requirement of "freedom of expression" is actually difficult to fulfill. What he has to do is not just simple selection and elimination, but also weighs the interests and gains and losses of the family and other aspects - and of course this step must be done before handing over the list to the woman. After that, the list will be judged by the two family heads again. By the time they can "play freely", there will be very few candidates to choose from.

If the requirements are not so high and the target is found outside the four major families, the range of choices will be very large. However, this is not something he should have any objection to. Anyway, it is the same for him whoever he chooses, and in fact, his personal Willing is not important in this matter.

Ernest almost compiled a list in his mind in a blink of an eye, but he did not intend to say it now, because it would seem impatient, and it would also be suspected of not consulting the information and thinking carefully in advance... Although he had already read the information. Backward and backward.

After this topic ended, they quickly chatted about other things, and Ernest returned to his previous silence.

"I'm not worried about you two. No one in the same generation in the family can shake your status, but..."

In the same family, the competition between the direct line and the direct line, the direct line and the collateral line, and the collateral line and the collateral line will be very fierce before the results come out, and the same is true for the Ramirez family.

The "result" regarding the positions of Ernest and Lucius is already very obvious. No one dares to provoke Ernest, whether in the direct line or the collateral line; between the direct line and the collateral line, Lucius literally In a sense, he has beaten everyone of his generation in the clan, and his level is between Ernest and the collateral clan - he will never dare to offend Ernest, and he will never dare to offend anyone other than Ernest. he.

These two people have divided up most of the resources available to them in this generation. The competition between the direct line has ended, and the rest is the battle between the collateral lines - they have not yet figured out why.

Alexia, who was born directly, is in a very awkward age zone and cannot keep up with the competition of this generation - no one intends to make an eight-year-old girl and a group of big brothers and sisters stare at her in the next generation. In the competition among seniors, uh, she seemed too old again. After all, Lucius's children could already call her aunt at that time.

There is no chance to compete, which means that she cannot go to the core of the family, and at the same time she does not need to bear too many responsibilities. Under the protection of Ernest and Lucius, she can theoretically even compete with those dudes. Just like the disciples, they behave recklessly outside——

But it was obvious that her two good brothers had no intention of letting her go.
