Chapter 8 The Back Garden of the Snowy Land

The Teddy Kingdom was established by the descendants of the ancient VIP Ancient Kingdom, inheriting the wealth and military strength of the VIP Ancient Kingdom, after hundreds of years of development, the Teddy Kingdom has always maintained the top 20 position in the comprehensive strength ranking among the hundreds of countries and thousands of ethnic groups on the continent east of the Labrador Sea. In terms of military and economic aspects, they are ranked fifth and third respectively. If it weren't for the population and territory lowering the average score, the comprehensive national strength of the Teddy Kingdom would definitely rank among the top 10 in the Eastern Earth Continent.

The Duchy of Rainer, to which I belong, is one of the three principalities under the Teddy Kingdom, and is known for its war pets, as well as its steam technology and military power.

The rise of such a powerful principality depended on the wise leadership of the king and the self-improvement of the people. The harsh living environment and inferior political situation have cultivated a belief in the survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, from the nobles to the subjects.

It is precisely because they strictly adhere to such beliefs and beliefs that this principality does not have any shortcomings and loopholes from top to bottom, nor does it have any hamsters and moths. It is this kind of almost stubborn and rigid insistence that allows them to maintain their advantages and unshakable position in an unfavorable environment.

And the existence of me and Luo Fatzi, in Rena's cultural beliefs, is a fatal shortcoming, a hamster moth that is enough to threaten the safety of the principality. They must rid us of hidden threats, and the annual review and exile system is the perfect means to achieve this.

In the annual assessment ceremony, those who pass will be recognized by the public, and if they happen to be adults, they will hold a coming-of-age ceremony, obtain citizenship, as well as a stable job and a good salary. If it is the coming-of-age ceremony of the children of wealthy nobles, they will be appointed to an official position, receive the king's bestow, and be allowed to enter the husky realm and capture their favorite war pets on their own.

As for those who fail to pass the assessment, the minors will be severely reprimanded. All wealth will be confiscated, and even the family lineage and family name will be stripped away, and exiled from the city as an ownerless person, leaving the territory of the Duchy of Rena within a month, or else they will be killed by the ruthless border guards.

The subjects of the Duchy of Rainer are not lazy and cowardly, but every year, there are also a few unfortunate people who are not talented and ill-fated are exiled, they often do not need the harsh weather and border guards to take their lives, and at the moment of exile, they will choose to take the initiative to end their lives in shame.

Such a death is sad, but it is something that the subjects of the Duchy of Rena want to see, and such a death can keep them vigilant against their enemies, maintain reverence for nature, and maintain loyalty to the Duchy.

This year's assessment day was more grand than in previous years, and more patience and resources were spent on everything from attitude to preparation. Because at this year's examination ceremony, the grandsons and granddaughters of the great king will have their own coming-of-age ceremony, oh and the king's right hand, the only son of Lord Count Alps, the patron saint of the principality, will also usher in his own exile.

It's such an environment that no one thinks that the king's grandchildren can't pass the test, and no one thinks that I will.

The assessment site is located in the back garden of Rena Snow Castle, the spacious back garden is protected by protective magic and steam devices, which completely isolates this space from the harsh climate.

In fact, in the culture of the Principality of Rainer, they are very resistant to this comfortable environment, believing that this kind of climate and environment will wear down their will and is a cancer of the Principality's civilization. But there is no way, because at the annual assessment ceremony, the principality will invite the royal representatives of the kingdom to be present, and those pampered royal nobles can't stand the slightest wind and cold.

It is said that those royal families are hypocritical to the level of perversion, and there was an accident at the assessment ceremony one year, and the protective system in the back garden temporarily failed, resulting in a cold snap invasion and freezing flowers and plants. The royal guests refused to come to the scene on the grounds that the environment was harsh and there was no fragrance. In order to make the grand ceremony go smoothly, the nobles of the principality opened their minds and poured several barrels of sesame oil on the ground, which persuaded the royal family to be gracious.

I'm really convinced, can the smell of sesame oil be the same as the fragrance of flowers? This can also be over, and the so-called royal family is not reliable enough.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this year, and I didn't have to endure the greasy smell of sesame oil to accompany them.

When our family arrived, there were already many people in the back garden, standing in layers and laps several times. The outermost part of the country are representatives of the elders of the wealthy families in the counties under the principality, as well as the elders of the families who participate in the assessment of the young people, and there are probably more than 1,000 people.

One level further along, there was a group of two or three hundred envoys from other principalities and friendly neighbors who had come to watch the ceremony.

On the penultimate level were the principality nobility, where the Counts of Alpine and the Alpine duo stopped, but they were of a more special position, and they had their own seats with the few officials of the same noble position and transcendence, and did not have to stand like the others.

At the innermost, there is a beautiful white crystal ball that sits on top of an ornate gold bracket like a giant magic scepter. On the left and right sides of the giant scepter, it is divided into two areas, one area is for the officials who supervise the examination, and the other area is for the principality teenagers to participate in the examination.

I was escorted to the test taker assembly area and stood with other teenagers ranging in age from 10 to 16. The fat man Luo with a blue nose and swollen face arrived before me, and he smirked when he saw me coming.

I observed that my family came relatively late, the scene was almost at the limit of saturation, and the few seats were almost full, except for the two thrones at the front of the aristocratic circle.

The two thrones are obviously different, one is made of ice crystals, shaped like a glacial fault, and exudes cold air.

The other throne is made of solid wood, and the backrest is high, about three meters, full of the majesty of the king. In the crowded back garden, only the back of the throne is empty. Oh, it's not that you can't get close to the majesty of the king, but the back is too high, and your eyes are blocked when you stand there, and you can't see anything.

Luo Fatzi pushed and shoved to my side in the candidate team, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the serious and solemn candidates around, Luo Fatzi was not stunned at all in the face of everyone's disgusted eyes, and scolded in his mouth: "What are you worried about? I pounce on your mother!

None of the others spoke ill of him, only Luo Fatzi and I knew that he was not scolding, what he said was true......
