Another point is that this kind of challenge for the throne is legal and reasonable, and the tribes only need to witness it from the sidelines. Why do they get involved and even turn it into a war?

Could it be that the losing side in the throne challenge refuses to admit their defeat?

However, if that were the case, the losing side would inevitably be rejected by all the tribes and would not be able to gain the support of any one tribe.

How could it possibly escalate into a war?

So what exactly is this war for the throne?

Could it really be a coup in the traditional sense?

Is a certain tribe trying to seize power?

But this was completely unnecessary, because with the tradition of challenging for the throne, each tribe could "legitimately seize power," so there was no need for a coup.

All of this left T'Challa completely baffled.

"T'Challa, we don't know much about Wakanda, so you'll have to analyze this problem yourself."

Captain America's voice rang out as he looked at T'Challa and spoke to him in a serious tone.

“To be honest, my thoughts are a bit jumbled right now,” T’Challa said frankly. “Logically speaking, a ‘war for the throne’ shouldn’t happen in Wakanda.”

"Why? Are you Wakanda people all very loyal?" Scott Lang immediately asked curiously from the side.

"This is a unique aspect of our Wakanda culture."

T'Challa explained to everyone, "Wakanda is made up of five tribes, and each tribe can challenge the king. Whoever defeats the king in the challenge will become the new king!"

“Well, I didn’t expect Wakanda to still maintain such an ancient tradition,” Strange said, somewhat surprised.

It's hard to imagine that in modern society, there are still countries that retain such a simple, crude, and primitive tradition.

"So T'Challa, in your Wakanda, all you need to do to be king is be able to fight?" Tony Stark couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, feeling somewhat incredulous.

This is not ancient times, where a king needs to lead his people to conquer cities and territories, so he needs to have considerable military strength.

This is modern society!

Although there are still localized conflicts in many places, overall it is a peaceful era, and there is no need to charge into battle anymore.

Even if there really is a war to fight, modern warfare and ancient warfare are completely different things. You don't need to fight each other with swords and spears!

What's the use of being able to fight?

What is needed to be a king now is the ability to govern the country, not mere brute force.

“It sounds a bit strange now that you put it that way, but overall… yes.” T’Challa nodded.

Tony Stark was speechless for a moment.

Wakanda truly lives up to its reputation as one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world, seemingly abandoned by society.

"In addition, regardless of who the king is, the major tribes have great power in Wakanda and control many of Wakanda's vital industries."

"It's no exaggeration to say that many times, the king has to be mindful of their opinions. Many decisions require more than just the king's orders; they also require the consent of all the major tribes."

"Therefore, these tribes in Wakanda have absolutely no reason to wage a war for the throne."

After T'Challa's explanation, everyone present gained a basic understanding of Wakanda's cultural heritage and organizational structure.

As T'Challa said, in this situation, the people of Wakanda really had no need to fight for the throne.

Because under this system, the king is really not that appealing.

Firstly, the king's power wasn't that great, and secondly, the king's throne wasn't easy to hold.

If you are strong enough and good at fighting, you can become king through legal means. If you are not strong enough, you can easily be overthrown.

After discussing it for a while, everyone present still couldn't figure it out.

After all, no one knows any details about this "war for the throne," so there is not enough information to conduct any effective analysis.

"How about... we take a look at the options first, and see if we can get anything out of them?" Captain America suggested after a moment of contemplation.

As things stand, this is the only option at the moment.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, T'Challa began to introduce the tribes among the options.

"I already introduced the Jabari tribe in the last round of questions. Although this tribe has not submitted to Wakanda, it has always lived in seclusion in the snowy mountains and has not participated in any Wakanda affairs."

"The Mountain Mining Tribe lives near the mines and is mainly responsible for mining some of Wakanda's minerals. Their physical strength is the best in all of Wakanda."

T'Challa didn't explicitly tell everyone that what he called minerals were actually mainly vibranium!

"The frontier tribes, as we've mentioned before, are Wakanda's first line of defense, and they are also the herders of Wakanda."

"The Merchant Tribe, as you can tell from the name, is responsible for all trade activities in Wakanda and is mainly composed of artisans and merchants."

T'Challa quickly finished introducing the four tribes to everyone.

Of course, it's impossible to draw any conclusions from these basic introductions alone.

There is absolutely no basis for judgment.

"T'Challa, among these tribes, is there any that has a grudge or enmity with your royal family?"

After some deep thought, Captain America asked T'Challa again with a serious expression.

After a moment of contemplation, T'Challa nodded: "Our royal family has had some friction with several tribes, which is inevitable. However, there is one tribe that has long harbored dissatisfaction with our royal family."

The eyes of everyone present lit up; it seemed like there was something going on.

“The Frontier Tribes,” T’Challa continued, “Their leader’s parents were killed by Klaue, so their leader has always hoped that the King would bring Klaue back to Wakanda, but thirty years have passed and Klaue is still at large.”

“Their tribal chief has expressed his dissatisfaction with my father in public on more than one occasion.”

"but!"

At this point, T'Challa emphasized again, "Even so, I believe that the Frontier Tribes will not betray Wakanda. All the tribes in Wakanda value tradition very much."

“T'Challa, your belief alone is not enough,” Thor said from the side. “Even if you believe them, it doesn’t change the fact that one tribe has betrayed you.”

“Thor, it’s too early to talk about ‘betrayal.’ We don’t know what that war was all about,” T’Challa emphasized again.

"Moreover, it is understandable that the border tribes are dissatisfied with my father. They have not done anything wrong, and we cannot conclude that the border tribes will take action against me because of this."

Tchala then added.

“That’s right!” Thor nodded emphatically, but then immediately changed the subject, “But besides that, do we have any other basis for judgment?”

T'Challa was speechless at Thor's question.

Everyone was completely in the dark about the war that was going to happen in the future; there was no basis for any judgment.

"Now it's my turn to answer this question, T'Challa. For me, this evidence is enough!" Thor then smiled at T'Challa and gave his answer to the big screen.

"I choose the frontier tribes!"

Chapter 272 The magic that made Thanos flee in disarray?

[Correct answer!]

The system immediately emitted such a notification sound.

"YES! Look!"

Thor slapped his thigh excitedly.

Thor is truly brilliant. While others struggled with how to analyze or choose the answer to this problem, he astutely grasped the crucial clue that left them hesitant.

He answered correctly right away.

amazing!

Thor couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

[Congratulations to Thor Odinson for winning the reward skill Magic Dispel!]

[The reward has been issued, please check your account!]

With the system's subsequent notification, Thor completed a transformation in his life: now, Thor is also proficient in magic!

"Magic, ha, that fancy stuff, barely passable." Thor shrugged, looking rather uninterested.

Thor prefers to smash things with his hammer or strike with lightning rather than using magic; that's much more exciting.

"Dispel unwanted visitors? Literally, this magic should be used to expel people?" Strange pondered, speculating. "Why would you need magic to expel others?"

"Doctor, you guessed right, this magic really is used to expel people."

Thor shrugged and explained to Strange, "Once this magic is used, it will make people feel like they don't want to come to this place for some reason, and that person will automatically take a detour."

"That sounds like a pretty good spell!"

Tony Stark's eyes lit up slightly. "This isn't a post-event dispel, but a pre-event prevention! If that's the case, Thor, this magic is still very useful."

“What would happen if this magic were used on Thanos? Would he just leave Earth?” Scott Lang’s eyes lit up.

"This magic shouldn't be effective against someone as powerful as Thanos, right?" Strange guessed.

“That’s right, this magic is basically only effective on ordinary people.” Thor nodded.

"This magic can effectively prevent civilians from being harmed!" Captain America said seriously, his idea being much more reliable.

If this magic is used while carrying out a certain mission, wouldn't it prevent people from accidentally entering the battlefield and getting injured?

This magic can even be used on the battlefield in advance to clear the area ahead of time.

"For truly powerful people, there is no such thing as accidental injury."

Thor, however, said with a smug grin, "But it can't be denied that this magic does have some effect. If you need it, Rogers, I can give you some."

"How did you give it to me?" Captain America asked, somewhat surprised.

He was really curious: how could he give magic?

“This magic is a kind of rune magic,” Thor said smugly to Captain America. “It’s actually just a bunch of little cards that contain magic. You just need to stick those little cards in the appropriate places.”

Rune magic? There's such magic?

Scott Lang clicked his tongue in amazement. "I thought magic was all about waving a wand around... or like Strange, with dazzling, cool golden beams of magic."

Rune magic is a completely new form of magic for everyone.
