Three days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
By the time the day of the succession ceremony, Roddy had hardly slept all night, he was just a big boy after all.
Although I have experienced so many strange things these days, and my vision has long been unusual, I still have to be nervous in the end when I encounter such a major event.
Nicole came to Roddy's room early in the morning, opened her personal maid Angel, and dressed Roddy herself.
This time, Nicole carefully selected a special silver samurai costume for him.
The design of this costume is the work of a famous master in the imperial capital, and it is extremely decently cut, and when Roddy wears it, he immediately shows his strong and upright figure, and the whole person looks heroic.
The two of them looked at each other from time to time, and their hearts and minds exchanged, both of them were red-faced and red-eared, and their hearts were fascinated.
After Roddy was dressed, Nicole carefully looked at one of Roddy's ears to make sure that there were no flaws.
Roddy thought of his ears, felt a little lost in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Nicole, when are you going to remove these ears of mine?"
Nicole didn't dare to hide it anymore, but smiled bitterly: "I'm also thinking of a way, but Danton's record is really esoteric and difficult to understand, and when this matter is over, we will study it slowly." ” Roddy opened his mouth, wanting to tell Nicole that he had found a way to use the mask, but he couldn't use it if he wasn't a magician.
Thinking that Nicole is a powerful magician, she should be able to manipulate the mask.
It's just that when the words came to his lips, he remembered Andy's instructions, and knew that Danton's last words couldn't be known to anyone, so he immediately gave up.
Before going out, Nicole gave Roddy a few more words.
Roddy looked at Nicole, who was close at hand, and felt so excited that he couldn't help but want to lean over and kiss her lightly on the cheek.
Nicole was startled, and immediately dodged away, with a strange pleading expression on her face, and whispered, "Roddy, don't do this.
Wait for the future, how do you look now, I really can't look at your face, I always feel that you are my brother."
Roddy sighed, feeling annoyed but didn't dare to show it, so he could only follow Nicole out of the house and get into the carriage.
Fortunately, there were not only Roddy and Nicole in the carriage this time.
Instructor Carter was also dressed in an officer's uniform and sat upright in the carriage.
Nicole has announced that Instructor Carter is Seth's official swordsmanship teacher.
According to imperial tradition, when a nobleman succeeded in inheriting a title, the teacher would also be rewarded by the emperor.
So today, Instructor Carter is dressed in great spirits, and even his beard is meticulously combed.
In the spirit of respecting the teacher, Nicole did not let Instructor Carter ride a horse, but invited him to ride in the carriage with him.
One of the side halls of the palace had already been arranged, and according to imperial tradition, all the royal guards wore the most distinctive armor and stood around the main hall.
There were already many other young nobles waiting in the main hall.
According to the tradition of the empire, succession ceremonies were held several times a year.
Every time, there will be many young nobles to be evaluated, but because this assessment is temporarily decided by His Majesty the Emperor, it is a little less than the normal number of regular assessments.
Some young nobles looked at Luo Di's gaze and seemed to be a little indignant, knowing that because of this young master of the Tulip Family, His Majesty the Emperor would greatly advance the date of the assessment.
Roddy didn't care about so much, and strode into the hall with Nicole with his head held high.
One of them is a charming beauty, and the other is a handsome guy who is heroic and dashing, and as soon as the two of them walked into the hall, they immediately attracted countless eyes.
All the young aristocrats who were ready to participate in the examination were dressed in full costumes, and they tried their best to show their most spiritual side in front of others.
The empire was founded by military force in the past, and although it has declined a lot in the past few hundred years, the martial atmosphere has still been retained.
Each of these young nobles had the title of samurai, and their ranks ranged from high to low, but it is unknown whether there was water in them.
There were already twenty tables in the hall, and Nicole didn't say much, and took Roddy directly to the top table and sat down.
His face was cold, and only occasionally showed some tenderness when his eyes made contact with Roddy.
And Instructor Carter's identity is different, he can't enter the main hall, and can only wait outside.
After a while, I saw that Gordon Commander strode out from behind, shouting, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor of the Bright Empire has arrived."
All the people who were talking to each other were silent and stood up with a snort.
In the silence, a large door opened at the back of the main hall, and Emperor Abbasid XI slowly strode out from the back of the main hall.
Today, the emperor did not wear that white robe again, but wore a gold-colored light armor with a bright red cloak behind him.
The haze between the eyebrows on his face was also swept away, and he looked quite high-spirited.
When everyone in the hall saw the emperor, they all bowed their heads and knelt down, and Luo Di also knelt down on one knee, but when he saw the person behind the emperor, Luo Di couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Not only Luo Di was stunned, but all the nobles in the hall were stunned.
Because in this kind of formal ceremony, it should be Her Majesty the Empress who usually comes with the emperor, but today a woman standing beside Her Majesty the Emperor is not the queen Qiao Qiao was wearing a bright red robe, and his whole person seemed to be in a raging fire.
The gorgeous face was unusually calm at the moment, but a pair of flashing eyes showed an excited gaze, constantly looking for it in the crowd below.

"Get up."
The characteristic clear voice of Abbasid XI sounded, and he said lightly: "Don't have so many rules, let's get started."
Speaking of this, his gaze swept over Roddy's face, intentionally or unintentionally, and Roddy immediately took his eyes off Jojo.
Gordon immediately stepped forward and loudly announced the start of the assessment.
With Gordon's order.
All the young nobles came out of their places.
Concentrated in the center of the main hall, Luo Di naturally stood at the front.
The emperor nodded, and said some reluctant words, these high-sounding words, Luo Di naturally did not listen to a word, although he did not look up, he already felt that Qiao Qiao's gaze was rolling on him.
He felt awkward, but he didn't dare to look up.
The first test is riding.
There were already more than 20 royal horses on the square in front of the main hall, and each horse was snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and it looked very handsome.
The young nobles all walked out of the hall and listened to Gordon announce the content of the assessment.
The square had long been decorated in the shape of an army school, with a bow and arrow hanging on each horse, and each man with ten arrows.
There was also a cavalry spear hanging from his horse, but the head had been removed.
In the distance, three targets more than two people tall were placed The Empire of Light was founded on martial arts, and every nobleman must practice martial arts, and those who inherit the title must have the title of samurai.
Therefore, most of the assessments are mainly martial arts.
This assessment is not simply mounted archery, but also completely illuminates the pattern on the battlefield.
After all the people get on the horse, the arrow target is too far away, and they must ride their horses to the range of the bow and arrow to shoot the arrow, in this distance, the knights can attack each other, find a way to shoot down the other knights off the horse, everyone is attacking others, everyone must protect themselves, after all, the arrow target is only three in the melee to shoot the arrow on the arrow target, it is considered half of the success, if someone is knocked off the horse halfway, then it is eliminated.
Of course, for the sake of fairness, this assessment is carried out in batches.
A samurai of the same level can only be assessed together with a samurai of the same level, otherwise, according to the normal competition, a first-level samurai will naturally not be able to beat a third-level samurai.
The young nobles were immediately divided into three groups.
Among them, the first-class samurai of Luo Di are the most numerous.
Just because many nobles in order to inherit the title, they obviously have more than the strength of the first-level samurai, and they hide their strength before inheriting the title, just so that they can stay in the queue of the first-level samurai during the assessment.
Only a few people who are fully confident in their own strength will raise their samurai level early.
The first to compete were the third-level samurai, and there were no more than the third-level samurai among the young nobles.
Gordon gave the order, and only four knights mounted their horses.
It is said that four people shoot three arrow targets, which is more than enough, even if they don't attack each other and honestly shoot arrows, they can pass.
But the four men seemed to have gone mad, and as soon as they got on their horses, none of them went to get their bows and arrows, but they all raised their bayonet spears and rushed over like their opponents These young nobles are young people who are fully confident in their own strength, and those straw bale nobles are different, they are all bloody guys, who want to fully show their martial arts in front of the emperor in the assessment, in their arrogance, simple archery can not satisfy their honor, only to knock down the opponent in a dignified manner, is the symbol of the real warrior The four of them immediately ping-pong and pong.
Luo Di was fascinated by it, he was originally a real samurai, and these four people did have real talents.
Dare to behave on this occasion, there are indeed two things to know, for most nobles, the future of a lifetime, may be today, if you show bravery, then His Majesty the Emperor is happy, maybe in the future.
The four third-level samurai fought for a long time to decide the winner, and in the end, the stout fellow was shot down by the other two people.
And the thinnest of them was also the first to be beaten off his horse.
The other two people glanced at each other and stopped very tacitly.
They all opened their bows and arrows, and hit the red heart of the arrow target.
There was thunderous cheering from the sidelines, and Abbas XI also seemed to be happy, and also stood up and slapped his face.
The competition of the second-level samurai below, there is nothing exciting.
There were seven people in total, some of them rushed out to shoot arrows after getting on their horses, some attacked others with fierce faces, and some hesitated, not knowing whether to get a spear or a bow and arrow.
With Luo Di's strength today, the fight of the second-level samurai has long been unwatchable.
He yawned and simply closed his eyes and rested.
Unknowingly, Qiao Qiao, who was beside the emperor, saw Luo Di's appearance, and a hint of strange color flashed in his beautiful eyes
