Since Tom the Flying Fish did not have any bad habits, and he had good abilities, Sui Xiong would not object to letting him be the lord.
After getting the approval of Wall and Sui Xiong, his succession was almost settled.
However, there were still a lot of things to be done from the decision to the official handover. Olian needed to let Tom learn politics from her first, and gradually hand over the main tasks of the Geerteng Territory to him. In particular, she needed to let him have a good relationship with the main officials of the territory, so that the officials could gradually get familiar with the various tasks that he would be in charge of … This could not be rushed. Even if Olian had enough authority and could say whatever she wanted, for the sake of the territory, she still needed to let Tom have the authority.
According to Olian's plan, it would take two or three years to complete the work. At that time, Tom would be 35 or 36 years old, and he could be the lord for 10 to 15 years, which was enough for most of the territories.
Of course, Tom also had a child. Although his child was not old, he was quite smart. He believed that as long as he was taught well, he would definitely become a good heir after 20 years.
Even if his child was not good enough to inherit the territory, there were still many close relatives and direct descendants in the Geerteng Family. Even if Olian Geerteng was not willing to be the mastermind behind the scenes, it was not impossible to ask Steele Geerteng or Romon Geerteng to temporarily act as the lord for a while.
But thinking about it carefully, their generation was really powerful. The two people who competed for the inheritance, and Olian who finally won the inheritance, all three of them eventually became legendary strongmen. If this kind of success rate was placed in any family, it would be enough to make people envious to the point that their eyes would turn red like rabbits.
Although the Geerteng Family was declining in that generation, one of the two direct heirs had a questionable character, and the other had a questionable background, and the final heir was actually a collateral relative, compared to the glorious event of having three legendary strongmen in one generation, the decline of the family was nothing.
Any lord on the continent, as long as he could guarantee that his descendants would have three legendary strongmen in one generation, he would definitely be willing to let his family wither.
"Wither" three legendary strongmen, such a good thing, he would even wake up laughing in his sleep!
Although there were still a few demigod strongmen in the human world, almost all demigod strongmen lived in seclusion. Those who really lived in the human world, who could lead and protect the continuation of the family, mostly depended on the legendary strongmen.
A Legendary Master could protect a family for thousands of years. If there were two Legendary powerhouses in the same generation, then the prosperity of the family would be set in stone. There were three legendary strongmen in the same generation of the Geerteng Family, which not only made the family prosperous, but also made all those who harbored evil intentions withdraw their claws and not dare to do anything to them.
Of course, because Olian Geerteng was supported by Wor, the God of Knowledge and Culture, no one dared to provoke her.
Provoking a Chosen of a True God was a suicidal thing that most people would never do.
Even if Tang Geerteng took over in the future, Olian Geerteng would still be living here, and so would the headquarters of the Church of the God of Knowledge. Whoever dared to make trouble would still have to be mentally prepared to be struck by lightning by His Majesty, the God of Knowledge.
With this confidence to support him, Tom's position in the future would be very stable. Except for the fact that he might be a little uncomfortable because of Olian's existence and couldn't completely control the power, there was probably no lord in the world who could be more comfortable than him.
Sui Xiong stayed in the Geerteng Territory for two or three days. After watching Olian talk with Tang Geerteng in detail, he adjusted Tang's work to become his assistant, and then left.
He flew to the Grey Tower City.
The Grey Tower City was the foundation of the Void God System in the Commonwealth of Mifata. With it as the core, four cities formed a small alliance and joined the Republic of Northwest together.
Of course, their name couldn't be "Republic of Northwest" — after all, it was located in the south of the mainland. The official name of this small alliance was "North-South Alliance."
"South" referred to both the Southern Plateau and the south of the mainland.
"North" referred to both the Republic of Northwest and the northern part of the Southern Plateau where their small alliance was located.
In fact, the original leader of the alliance, Master Hart, the owner of the Grey Tower City, intended to name the alliance "South-North-South Alliance" — naturally to correspond with the "Republic of Northwest." But the four-city alliance was not located in the northwest of the Southern Plateau. In fact, they were located slightly southwest.
Of course, they couldn't lie through their teeth. So in the end, this alliance could only be called "North-South Alliance."
To be honest, this name was a little arrogant. It sounded as if the alliance of their four cities could be on an equal footing with the Republic of Northwest. But many people also felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
The Republic of Northwest had a total of five cities. From the north to the south, they were Void City, Dragon's Roar City, Gold Rush City, Pyroxene City, and Rye City. In addition, there were some villages, but so far, no village had been upgraded to a town. So in general, there were still only five cities in the northwest region.
And the North-South Alliance had four cities. Four against five, the gap didn't seem to be so big.
But those who were really knowledgeable knew that just one Void City was more valuable than the four cities of the North-South Alliance combined! In addition to having a relatively large population, their four-city alliance was only equivalent to Pyroxene City in terms of economic strength. At most, it was equivalent to Pyroxene City plus Gold Rush City.
As for military strength, it was needless to say. There were five or six Legendary Masters stationed in Pyroxene City. In the other cities, there was at least one Legendary Master, and Void City was even guarded by a true god. In contrast, their small alliance of Grey Tower City only had one Legendary Master, and strictly speaking, he was a fake "pseudo-legendary."
This Legendary Master was a predecessor of the Hart family. In terms of seniority, even Wizard Hart had to respectfully call him "great-grandfather." That Legendary Master was the ancestor of the Hart family. He had lived for almost 300 years this year. In terms of professional levels, there were probably Level-13 or Level-14 Mages, Level-7 or 8 Scholars, Level-2 or 3 Nobles, Level-2 or 3 Saint Samurai, and Level-2 or 3 Priests.
Of course, combat power couldn't be increased by such a messy way of piling up levels, but at least the advancement of life forms could. This Old Mr. Hart might not be able to defeat most Legendary Masters, but he could at least live for a thousand years, which was enough to protect his family.
And in the entire four-city alliance, there was no second Legendary Master except Old Mr. Hart.
Such an organization naturally didn't have much confidence in their words and actions.
