For Veronica, she was also overjoyed after knowing that the Kingdom of Helo had such a huge population. After all, she had been completely integrated into the identity of the Queen. The strength of the Kingdom would make her happy every bit, but Soshiyan saw some other things from it.
The population of the Helo Kingdom is obviously marked by human control, otherwise even the slow fertility rate of Ada would be more than this number after tens of millions of years. There are only two possibilities.
Either the lifespan of the residents here is not particularly long, or the residents here have been reborn in a planned manner, Soshiyan prefers the former because according to the self-introduction of the eighteen hunting kings, none of them are over 20,000 years old, and the largest one is only over 19,000 years old, but they seem to be very old. There is no conclusion on the natural lifespan of Ada after the great fall. Several Phoenix Lords had experienced a long time before the great fall, but their current bodies are no longer in the past, so they cannot be estimated. However, judging from the situation of Eldra and Victor, 10,000 or 20,000 years old should not be Ada's natural lifespan limit.
Therefore, Soshiyang speculated that Enivia might have done something to control the population of this planet, but this is understandable. After all, Ada cannot tolerate too small space, and even if the planet's resources can be regenerated quickly, they are not infinite. If the population is too expanding, then the conflicts between ethnic groups due to space and resource issues will rise, and even trigger fierce struggles. In fact, Soshiyang has also heard of some bloody civil wars in the country of the wild kingdom, and some people even broke the ban and left the world to go to the outside world, resulting in the leak of intelligence in the Helo Kingdom and attracted foreign enemies.
Controlling population in order to control risks may be a must for Enivia.
Even so, the population of 20 million is a terrifyingly large number, and it even directly changed the population structure and political composition of the royal court. There are actually risks. Veronica may not be able to see it, but Soshiyan realized it when she came.
If all the residents here are labeled as the people of Hero and absorbed into the royal court, then they will immediately become the absolute main ethnic group of the royal court. In this case, what political status should they be given?
If it is low, there will be hidden dangers. If it is high, there will be even more hidden dangers. For example, the Ark countries are sparsely populated, but they have always occupied a key political position in the royal court because they are good at fighting and are proficient in ship control. If most of the political and military power is taken away by the superior number of Helo people, they may become centrifugal to the royal court, which will trigger a chain reaction.
Fortunately, their unique system gave Soshiyan a space to operate. The Helo Kingdom did not have a unified regime. The Kunos Sword selected by the Hunter Kings showed more religious significance, mainly to preside over the duel of wild hunting and communicate with the world's souls. The term of office was very short, and the Helo Kingdom was just the name given to the world by the ancestors when they settled.
In fact, according to Doral's investigation, the people here are more likely to be locally recognized and only call themselves people from a certain clan or from a certain city-state.
Therefore, just as the hunting kings met, he quietly communicated with Veronica. Veronica also announced the granting of eighteen members of the hunting kings and Lingshu Parliament according to his ideas. Two of the other female hunting kings were awarded the inner court positions, while three of the male hunting kings were awarded the outer court positions, and the rest also had positions in the Privy Council and other institutions.
The most important point is that those small clans and villages were also granted "autonomy" and voting rights in the Phoenix Council.
This function is to break up the Helo Kingdom as a political entity, it will exist only as a region, and the city-states within will be independent groups, and they will no longer be able to absorb the small forces into themselves.
The hunting kings had no objection to this. After all, they basically knew nothing about the rectification of the royal court, but they were still very satisfied with being granted what sounded great power.
Afterwards, Veronica announced that she would patrol the planet and have fun with the people. The hunting kings all actively expressed their hope to be the first stop of the Queen's inspection, and finally decided the route by drawing lots.
Since it was the Eternal Queen on a tour, it must be quite a bit of a good attitude. It took several days to prepare. In addition to the gorgeous imperial chariot, there were nearly 200 airships of various sizes. In addition, the world's spirit, Envia and its "children" also personally escorted them. When hundreds of frost phoenixes soared in the sky, they drew a glittering ice dust avenue. The Eternal Queen's patrol team slowly flew past this ice dust avenue.
When he arrived at the first city, Veronica was also surprised at its size.
"Oh my God, it's hard to imagine... This is a wild kingdom."
Above the golden throne of the imperial chariot was a huge throne surrounded by curtains. Veronica sat on Soshiyan's thigh and looked curiously at the huge city below. Although this was not very elegant, fortunately outsiders could not see it.
On a coastal peninsula, there is a giant city surrounded by mountains and seas and passed by two rivers. Its scale can be called a small nest. The huge spiritual bone tower stands into the clouds, connected to each other by overpasses that stretch hundreds of meters like streamers. There are various buildings of various shapes in the city, including huge circular hollow squares, open pink shells, and many circular houses like mushroom forests. These buildings are interspersed with a large number of gardens, not only trees, but also lakes and even mountains. They are not piled up randomly, but are maintained by some plan to maintain a unique sense of balance. If it is to be compared, it is very similar to a milky white cake dotted with many fruits and accessories - the main color of this city is milky white.
"Hello has a high level of civilization, and it is more like a living fossil of the ancient Aida society."
Soshiyang nodded when he heard Veronica's amazement.
"This city has more than one.2 million people, and it's not small on the side of the empire. Now, except for Comoros, there are probably no Ada cities that are larger and more populous than it. Maybe only the largest arks may have? I'm not sure... Samhan may have it."
"Iyanden used to be known as one million people, but after the tragic incident of the Battle of Burning Moon, they lost nearly one-fifth of their population..."
As the height of the chariot decreased, cheers like tsunami came from below. Veronica then came down from Soshiyang's legs, walked out of the curtain, and came to the viewing platform of the chariot. Soshiyang also walked out and stood behind Veronica.
I saw that the city's towers and the streets were filled with different clothes. They looked up at the sky, with expectation and fanaticism, and even nervousness on their faces.
