"Hold the sword in your hand! It's not only your weapon, it's your life, your soul!"

"Don't slash, but stab! Use the tip of your sword to break through the opponent's defense! You're not holding an axe, do you understand?"

"Stick your foot! Don't show any flaws, with a loose pace like yours..." The knight who was being reprimanded stepped forward and knocked the boy down, "The enemy doesn't even need to draw his sword, you killed yourself .”

"Yes Yes!"

"Don't keep saying 'yes', master these!"

"Yes... no, I understand!"

Archie gnawed on the apple in his mouth, and saw two figures, one large and one small, training in the distance, and the mage apprentice couldn't help feeling: "Eddie in training is like two people in peacetime."

Yvonne stood by his side, did not speak, his eyes calmly watched the two people on the training ground.After a while, Yvonne stepped forward to stop them.

"Time is up."

He first said to Eddie, then turned to look at Hani, "You should change your clothes and get ready to go."

Hani was covered in sweat and covered in mud. Hearing this sentence, he struggled to get up from the ground and walked out of the training ground.

Archie looked at his back: "With less than half a day of training, what can be changed?"

"It can change his heart." Yvonne said, "harden his will. He will fail, but he will not be defeated."

Eddie nodded in agreement.

Archie couldn't help but want to roll his eyes to the sky, he really didn't understand what these paladins were thinking.People in the world always say that the masters are delusional, but in fact these priests are the biggest delusional patients.Their theory of spiritual conquest of the world is simply an artifact of brainwashing.

"Actually, Hani has some skills. I heard that he also participated in the training of the Rose Knights when he was a child?" Eddie put away his long sword. swordsman."

"Better than his sister?" Archie asked.

Eddie thought for a while, and said honestly, "That's not comparable. Roni Lisibetan's swordsmanship, even I am amazed."

"That's it. You have an excellent close relative who reminds you all the time how incompetent you are, and you can't keep up with the other half even if you try hard, so no one will have any fighting spirit." Archie as Bailey** The grandson of the teacher deeply felt the same way.

Yvonne interrupted their discussion: "Pack up your things, we should be ready to go."

On this day, when the paladins of Duyi went out, they saw what is called Wangcheng.The streets of the outer city were empty, but the streets of the inner city were crowded with people. The carriages of various noble families were blocked on the narrow stone streets. The smell of horses and crowds was simply daunting.

"It would be great if Teacher Bossian was here at this time." Archie covered his nose while riding behind the paladins. "He just needs to set up a teleportation circle, and we don't have to bother."

"This is the magic of mages. To be honest, we still haven't figured out how a teleportation circle can make people travel thousands of miles." Eddie said curiously, "I heard that this is the mage association's confidential?"

"You ask me, I don't know." Archie said, "I'm a little mage apprentice, and I don't even understand the most basic principle of the magic net."

"arrive."

While the two were chatting, the paladin team slowly moved out of the arena along with the crowd.Because of their special identities, the management staff of the arena arranged an exclusive "horse parking lot" for them.On the other side of this "horsepark" is the parking place for noble carriages.Ladies dressed in fancy dress and colorful bird feather hats walked out of the carriage modestly, holding hands by gentlemen in well-dressed clothes.

The ladies fluttered their slender eyelashes, and their beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and surprise, while the gentlemen wore polite and distant smiles, discussing political topics rigorously with each other.They are like attending a grand ball, rather than a test that will determine the fate of a teenager's life.Or, in their view, this test itself is no different from a game.

Eddie couldn't help turning around to look at Hani.

There was not much expression on the boy's face, he seemed to be in a daze, and after noticing the sight of the paladin, he raised his head and smiled.

"I'm fine," Haney said, as if reassuring himself, "I'll get through."

"Mr. Hani Lisibetan!" A manager of the arena came over, "Your position is not here, please follow me."

Hani followed the other party and left.

"His legs are shaking," Archie said suddenly.

"Yes," Eddie replied, "but he's still going."

……

The Royal Colosseum has never been so full.During this special period, the nobles who were forced to stay dormant due to the change of kingship seemed to finally smell a little free air, and rushed in, crowding the arena like a vegetable market.Every seat was full of people, and Eddie and the others were arranged on the east stand, very close to the rostrum.Eddie tried to look up at the rostrum, but still couldn't see the elf.

"There should be some kind of isolation spell cast there." The mage apprentice said, "The scene inside cannot be seen from the outside."

There was a lot of noise in their ears, and everyone was excitedly communicating. Their eyes turned to the entrance of the arena below the arena from time to time, guessing what form the test would take.

When the Rose Knights entered the arena, the hustle and bustle reached a small peak.

The cheers and applause of the crowd completely drowned out the hooves of the horses.The rose knights were dressed in formal attire, and marched to the very center of the venue under the curious and expectant eyes of everyone.Victorian took a step forward.

Archie swears that at that moment, he heard a female scream that was many decibels higher than the previous applause.It seems that this acting head of the knight order has a lot of weight in the hearts of noble women.

"If Teacher Bossian is here." Archie was a little unwilling, "Then this little boy would not be complacent."

Eddie said, "Berthian's a lot whiter than Victorian."

Archie glared at him: "What's so good about a strong man with muscles in his head? Don't ladies know how to appreciate the elegance of a man? Knights...huh."

Victorian spoke at the right moment, before the ladies fainted from the soaring of their voices.He first saluted to the rostrum—the royal family and other important figures might be sitting there, and then he looked towards the east of the stand.

"Thank you for your testimony. The Rose Knights will fulfill the sacred promise they made with the Lisibetan family 100 years ago. Today, Roni from the Lisibetan family—"

The head of the delegation raised his right hand, and the gate on the right side of the venue was pulled up, and Roni, who was wearing armor and holding a long sword, walked out heroically.The combination of the sword and the beauty caused the cheers in the arena to pile up again.

"—and Harney." Victorian looked to the left.

The gate on the left was raised, and Hani walked slowly onto the arena holding the sword.The boy's frail body could hardly support the armor on him.

This time, the cheers for him were much smaller.

"The two outstanding descendants of Nanny Knights will take their dignity and pride as their focus and accept this inheritance test! The one who passes the test will become the true owner of our Rose Knights." Victorian said on the horse A bow was made.

"Let's get started!" Someone shouted from the stands, "Let's see who is the real heir, so that we can take the Rose Knight under his command!"

Victorian's eyes quickly swept across a trace of shadow.The two candidates walked up to him at this time.

"As they said." Roni spoke first, "If you want to take a test, please start as soon as possible. No matter what it is, I can accept it." She glanced at Hani, with provocation and contempt in her eyes.

Victorian looked at Haney.

"For example, if it's possible, I hope that the way of the test is not to have me fight sister Ronnie." Hani whispered, and Ronnie's laughing voice next to him made his shoulders tremble, "...I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Coward." Roni looked at him sharply. "A fight is a fight. Protect yourself. Do you think you can hurt me?"

Haney avoided her eyes.

"I hope this will be a fair test, Knight Victorian." The girl looked at the head of the delegation again.

Victorian said, "Don't worry."

There is deep meaning in his eyes.

"This will be the fairest test."

The Rose Knights rode out in single file, leaving only Victoria standing between the two candidates.

The head of the delegation poked the ground with a long sword, and said, "I declare, the test begins!"

The crowd boiled and exploded, and they were extremely looking forward to seeing a wonderful and exciting gladiatorial fight. Nothing can stimulate the nerves of these nobles more than witnessing two candidates of a family fighting each other dripping with blood!

Just as they were about to blurt out their shouts, an unexpected darkness suddenly attacked the entire arena from all directions, as if the night had fallen and the light had fallen.The crowd exclaimed, and Dui paladins reacted the fastest, but even so, when their hands just touched the saber, the darkness faded away as quickly as he appeared.

People regained their vision from the darkness, terrified, only to find that something had changed.In the arena, Victorian was still in the same posture as before, while Hani and Ronnie beside him were in a very different situation.

Roni was stabbed in the chest, and blood was gurgling from the wound.Hani, on the other hand, was unscathed, and his eyes even showed confusion.

"what happened?"

People question each other.

"Who saw it clearly!"

"Coward!" Ronnie said, covering her wound, "Do you think I will be grateful to you?"

Hani looked down at his chest in a daze, and then at the long sword in his hand, which was still stained with blood.

"No... no, how is this possible?"

When all the spectators and the two candidates were puzzled, Victorian spoke calmly.

"The test is over. I declare that the one who passed the test is—"
