The Emperor sat in the middle of the large bed in his pajamas, just as he had before the ritual of the gods, the background of the bed weakened his momentum.

In the past two years, the emperor has aged a lot, and the wrinkles and age spots all over the skin cannot be completely eliminated even after the divine ritual.

Outwardly, he was seventy or eighty years old, but in fact, the emperor was only sixty-three years old this year.

In contrast, the five pentagrams in front of him are each age of the emperor's multiple, but Gucci, who looks the most mature on the outside, is only between thirty and forty, which is the peak of a man's most charm.

So from a third-party point of view, this contrast is a bit odd.

In the past, when Lin An saw the members of the palace mage group, he would not think of so much.

This may have something to do with the fact that the archmages of the court such as Master Rice, except for Master Alberta, did not care about their appearance, and most of them looked middle-aged and elderly, and they did not look much different from the emperor.

But the pentagram maintained a young appearance without exception, which was related to the special secret method of pentagram's cultivation, Lin An secretly thought to herself, if she and the emperor changed places, her heart must be full of complicated feelings at this time.

“…… Have you consulted with Your Majesty about what I told you the other day? ”

When Gucci heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Saxon first.

Compared with several masters of the court mage group, the emperor was obviously more cautious about the pentagram, and said calmly:

"Due to some changes, the Saxon may have taken the throne earlier, and now is the time for him to meet with you."

Saxon, of course, is not the first time to see the pentagram.

But everyone present also understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

Natalie's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, your body ......"

"I probably won't be able to hold it up for long."

The Emperor sighed, "Cousin Natalie, fortunately you are still here, and in the future, the Saxons will be handed over to you." ”

He showed a rare hint of warmth.

Lin An was taken aback.

She didn't expect the emperor and Natalie to be so close.

In this way, when Natalie's grandparents were still alive, she should have been a descendant of the royal family at that time, and it was not until Abraham the Great's father succeeded to the throne that she became a side branch.

It's no surprise that Natalie has become an archmage in her early 100s.

It can be seen from Don Quixote and the old sword saint that the royal lineage is unified and strong, and the inheritance is also complete and orderly.

Under the supply of many favorable conditions and resources, it is no accident that the master-level powerhouses of the royal family have been succeeded from generation to generation.

Obviously, the actual age difference between the emperor and Natalie is dozens of years, but the relationship is really good.

So Natalie agreed without thinking:

"Don't worry, with me here, the Saxon position will not be shaken for a day."

She could already see from the emperor's expression that he was really dying, and there was a faint sadness on his still young and gorgeous face.

Natalie is less than two hundred years old, but many of the relatives closest to her have died of old age and left her.

Now that even the emperor's cousin is about to die, Natalie can't help herself, strides to the bedside, holds the emperor's hand, and her eyes are slightly red.

Therefore, Natalie, who was immersed in pain, naturally did not notice, and after she said those words, Samaranch behind her frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in Victor's blue amorous eyes.

Other than that, Gucci and Enhleko didn't react much.

“…… No, you don't. ”

The emperor shook his head, "The pentagram can't get involved in the internal affairs of the imperial family, let alone meddle in the change of the throne. ”

"If Saxon can't sit in a stable position, it's because he doesn't have the ability to do so."

"As long as the person who replaces him has the blood of the Merlin family in his body, even if he is not my descendant, please don't interfere, my cousin."

"I will be satisfied if you take care of the Saxons and Byron a little more, and don't let my blood be completely cut off."

Saxon bowed slightly, calmly expressing that he would do his best to inherit his grandfather's legacy, but did not take the opportunity to buy Natalie's feelings more.

The other four pentagram looked at it and nodded secretly.

"The first thing I call you to here today is to tell you personally that the Saxons will be the next heirs of the banner of the stars—and this will be your witness."

Gucci's originally stern expression became more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is our duty. ”

The other four, including Natalie, also stood up and said, "We will witness." ”

Under their gaze, the Saxon unfolded a scroll of cloth and handed it into the hands of the emperor.

The Emperor slowly unfolded the scroll, and a banner with a black background and a round sun in the center, surrounded by stars, appeared in everyone's sight.

Lin An couldn't feel the energy on the flag, and the location of the flag in his perception was completely nothing.

She didn't try to detect it with energy, and there was a faint premonition of danger in her intuition, not strong, but clear.

Obviously, this flag is not something that can be snatched and mastered at will.

I saw the emperor pull it out of the bearing, and a short black dagger with a shimmering light was pulled out, the dagger body was jet black, but it gave people the feeling that there was a subtle light being launched, as if the starlight in the sky was fused into the dagger.

Lin An's eyelids jumped.

Star Iron.

The characteristics of this rare mineral extracted from extraterrestrial meteorites are simply too obvious.

Star iron is difficult to build—in the words of the previous life, it needs at least two thousand degrees or more;

Scarce - the atmosphere over the Muse is thicker than Earth's, and meteors that have not burned up before reaching the ground are very rare;

Strong magic conductivity - the loss rate is infinitely close to zero, in modern terms, it is a natural superconductor of magic and vindictiveness;

In addition, it also has the advantages of stable physical properties, low density, light weight, etc., and is born with armor-piercing and demon-breaking effects.

As long as one thousandth of the star iron is integrated into the building process, it is built into a burning stick, which is also a burning stick with the qualification of a divine weapon, and the rich and handsome among the burning sticks.

And judging from the dense astral rays on this sick dagger, its raw material is not an ordinary meteorite, but the core of the middle part of a large meteorite.

Judging from the length of this short dagger, the star core that is used as a raw material can at least be exchanged for a medium-sized city.

And now it's just a tyrannical thing buried in a scroll, and it hasn't seen the light of day for thousands of years.

What a luxury it is to use a dagger made entirely of star iron extracted from the star core as a knife!

The Emperor slashed the Saxon's palm with this starry dagger.

The blood did not gush out, but only formed a line of blood that was slightly thicker than the wound near the wound.

Saxon clenched his fist hard, and the blood dripped down and landed on the seemingly ordinary flag, rolling a little, until it came to the center of the sun in the middle of the flag, and then slowly penetrated in.

The Star Banner glowed and slowly floated.

In the center of the emperor's wrinkled forehead, a substantial sun mark appeared.

The pentagram was also in a regular pentagram formation at some point, surrounding the emperor in the center, and a clear pentagram mark appeared on the back of their right hand.

"From this day onwards, I am the ninety-seventh descendant of Merlin, the Saxon. Rhine. Sandras........ Abraham. Enlais. Merlin, the ninety-seventh 'Rising Sun' of the Star Banner, is evidenced by blood and the stars. ”

The Emperor's voice resonated with the flag, and a faint golden light hit the Saxon's forehead, forming a virtual sun mark.

"I testify." Gucci said immediately.

"I testify." Victor.

"I testify." Enleko.

"I testify." Samaranch.

"I testify." Natalie.

The light on the pentagram on the right hand intertwined, and a larger pentagram appeared on the ground.

At the same time, the round sun on the star banner and the five stars near the round sun were also lit up one by one.

With the witness of the pentagram, the imaginary circle of Saxon's forehead gradually became clearer, and the light was slightly inferior to that of the emperor, and it looked like a pale golden yellow, slowly disappearing and disappearing in the middle of his forehead.

A faint shadow also appeared inside the round sun on the star flag, and then the flag also lost its buoyancy and rolled up automatically.

The Emperor inserts the Star Dagger back into the scroll, and the ceremony ends.

"Thank you very much for witnessing."

As if to let go of a matter of heart, the emperor's face was a little rosy.

"As for the next 'Comet'."

He paused.

"My fifth son, Yokjadan, is gifted but poorly qualified. If you see that he can still be edified in the future, please give me some advice; If he is not able to take on the heavy responsibility, then he will bother you to select suitable candidates from among the side branches that are close to his lineage, and train those who will inherit the position of 'Comet'. ”

"It's a duty."

Gucci immediately agreed, and the rest of the people had no objections.

Lin An was in a daze.

The Merlin royal family is worthy of being a royal family that has been inherited for nearly 2,000 years, and the water inside is extremely deep.

Many of their secrets may only be mastered by contemporary emperors and a very small number of people, and even the princes who are above 10,000 people under one outsider cannot know it.

Except for a few great aristocratic families that have been like the royal family for thousands of years and may be able to see part of the royal family, outsiders can't peek into the true full picture of the Merlin royal family.

A literal analysis of the "pentagram", "comet" and "star flag" shows that there is a clear connection.

Among them, the "pentagram" is widely known, similar to the general worship of the royal family.

They probably do not intervene in the internal struggles of the royal family and the succession to the throne, but only as external deterrence and bloodline protectors.

The existence of "comet" is semi-public and semi-secret.

Judging from the scope of the successor candidates, as well as the few words revealed by the emperor, the "Comet" has some kind of supervisory role, so the candidates must also be selected in the Merlin bloodline, which is similar to the contemporary royal lineage.

The emperor's favorite candidate for the next "comet" is obviously Yorkiadan.
