Angusari, in the palace.

Bright light shone through the dome, staining the throne with a holy glow, and two guards in golden armor with sharp blades stood on either side of the throne like two silent statues.

Under the throne, the nobles and ministers of the kingdom were gathering in twos and threes, chatting and exchanging information with each other.

"Huh? That seems to be the Prince of Dorne? ”

"I remember that the relationship between His Majesty and Prince Dorne does not seem to be harmonious, right?"

"Could it be that the rumors are true? Your Majesty is seriously injured and has already begun to arrange the aftermath? ”

"Impossible...... Your Majesty is a master archer, and there is an assassin who can hurt His Majesty so badly? ”

……

There were no secrets in the court, and the assassination of Queen Rhea could not be concealed at all, and it was already spread in the aristocratic circles after only one day.

Just when the nobles were exchanging information privately with all kinds of thoughts, the door of the inner sanctum suddenly opened. Queen Rhea led a group of important ministers of the kingdom out, and the nobles who were originally discussing in a whisper fell silent.

Queen Rhea sat on the throne, and the ministers of the kingdom stood under the throne one after another according to their status.

The former prime minister took the lead and knelt down on one knee: "My king~"

"My king!" All the nobles bowed down one after another.

Queen Rhea: "Get up." ”

The crowd stood up.

"Yesterday I was assassinated by an assassin from the Demon Race, and I was hit by an extremely vicious curse that is difficult to cure, so I decided to abdicate early. According to tradition, the throne is passed to the person who has been recognized by the "Bow of Inheritance". Queen Rhea's voice exploded in the palace like a muffled thunderbolt, and everyone's eyes widened when they heard the news.

The nobles had different expressions when they heard the news, some with worried faces, others with happy faces.

Queen Rhea nodded to the Prime Minister beside her.

The Imperial Prime Minister stepped forward: "Please come forward to those who have participated in the trial." ”

A group of teenagers and girls walked out of the crowd and stood under the throne with a look of nervousness and anticipation. The boys and girls were of different appearances, but they all had one thing in common—black hair and azure pupils.

The former Prime Minister looked at the young faces under the throne and nodded back to the Queen.

"So, let's start the inheritance ceremony!" Queen Rhea stood up and stretched out her hand.

A mechanical pale blue longbow emerges from the Queen's hand and floats in midair.

After summoning the longbow, Queen Rhea sat back on the throne: "According to the order of succession, let's go forward and be assessed separately." Whoever raises the Bow of Inheritance is crowned King! ”

The family heirloom is not only a weapon, but also a heritage, which also embodies the spirit and will of many ancestors! Inheritors who have been recognized as "Inheritance Treasures" will not only be able to use Treasures, but also will be able to inherit the experience of many ancestors! The younger the age, the better the inheritance effect.

The first to step forward was a teenager.

The boy first glanced at his father, who was standing in the middle of the noble pile.

Among the nobles, there was a middle-aged man who was gorgeously dressed but had a somewhat gloomy expression. Noticing the young man's gaze, the middle-aged man nodded lightly at him.

Noticing the middle-aged man's expression, the young man turned his head, took a deep breath, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed the "Inheritance Bow" floating in mid-air.

When the left hand touched the bow, a piercing chill came from the bow! The boy felt like he was clutching an ice spike, and at the same time, he saw an ice dragon lunging towards him!

"Poof! ~" The boy let go of his hand as if he had been hit hard, and stumbled back as a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Queen Rhea frowned slightly: "Next." ”

"No, Your Majesty, he can continue!" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a somewhat gloomy expression walked out of the aristocratic crowd, "Kit is just not ready. After speaking, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the young man, "I'm right, right?" Kit. ”

"Yes, yes, father." The young man nodded weakly, "Your Majesty, I'm not ready yet." ”

"In this world, there is broken ice, there is melted ice, have you ever seen bent ice?" Queen Rhea looked at the young man indifferently, "A weak person cannot gain the approval of the cold bow. ”

"Kit!" The middle-aged man commanded the young man in a serious tone.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man trembled, and desperately stretched out his hand to grab the cold bow floating in mid-air again.

At the same time, a magical glow suddenly flashed across the boy's chest. The biting chill seemed to have become less intense.

The boy clutched the cold bow tightly, gritted his teeth, and tried to pick it up! However, the resistance from his hands grew stronger. Suddenly! A vast breath came from the bow......

"Click! ~" Something seemed to be shattered in the boy's chest. At the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the boy!

I saw that the boy flew out with blood and fell to the ground like a rag......

There was peace in the palace. Looking at the boy who fell to the ground and whose fate was unknown, everyone was stunned.

"My dear brother, even after all these years, you are still so stupid." Queen Rhea looked at the middle-aged man on the side, "You actually tried to use magic props to fight against the inheritance assessment of the Noble Phantasm?" How stupid are you? ”

Hearing Queen Rhea's words, the middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy.

"Humph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and retreated into the crowd, ignoring his son lying on the ground.

Looking at the departing middle-aged man, Queen Rhea's eyes were cold.

"Doctor." The Imperial Prime Minister said to the healer who was waiting on the side.

The therapist nodded and stepped forward to treat the injured teenager.

After examining the boy's body, the therapist's face changed slightly: "No, he is hopeless." The impact of the Noble Phantasm and the backlash of magic turned his spirit and internal organs into a pulp! There is no way to save it. ”

The healer's words were like dropping a stone on the surface of the water, and the other heirs who were waiting to be assessed showed a trace of fear.

"Take him down." Queen Rhea waved her hand faintly.

"Yes."

Soon, the dead teenager was dragged down.

"Go ahead. I hope you don't learn from that idiot who cheated with magic items in the middle of the trial! Queen Rhea looked at the young girls below with sharp eyes, "The Bow of Inheritance tests your hearts and wills!" The moment you choose to cheat, you're completely disqualified! Remember! ”

The assessment continues.

One by one, the boys and girls stepped forward one after another, holding the "Bow of Inheritance" and accepting the test of the "Bow of Inheritance".

One by one, the boys and girls walked up, and then retreated. Although the people who participated in the inheritance assessment were more or less shocked, the situation like the first place has never happened again.

As time passed, a suitable heir remained unavailable, and unease spread among the crowd.

Dozens of minutes later, all the heirs took part in the assessment, however......

No one passed the assessment!

The expression on Queen Rhea's face was a little unpleasant.

"Your Majesty." The Prime Minister looked at the Queen.

Queen Rhea was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "There is no age limit, let all those who have the right to inherit come up for a trial." ”

Prime Minister: "...... Yes, Your Majesty. ”

A middle-aged man with a somewhat gloomy face suddenly appeared in front of the throne: "In other words, is it my turn now?" ”

Queen Rhea looked at the man: "Brother, haven't you given up yet?" ”

"Of course!" The man looked coldly at the woman on the throne, "That position should have belonged to me in the first place!" ”

Queen Rhea stared at the man's double yang, the same blue eyes, but compared to Queen Rhea's clarity, the man's eyes were full of flames of ambition!

"Then please try it, brother." Queen Rhea gestured, "I hope you don't do the same stupid thing." ”

"Humph! I'm not the cowardly me I was five years ago! The middle-aged man stepped forward and stared at the "Bow of Inheritance" that exuded chill in front of him.

Perhaps because it has absorbed a lot of life and spiritual power, the "Bow of Inheritance" has become more and more crystal clear.

Looking at the treasure in front of him, the man's eyes burned with flames: "This time, I won't admit defeat again!" ”

The middle-aged man grabbed the bow!

"Boom!"

A chill spread in an instant, and the entire hall felt like stepping into a cold winter!
