The Face Changing Warrior
Chapter 55: 【Riding and shooting assessment】
Three days seemed to pass in an instant. By the day of the inheritance ceremony, Roddy hadn't slept almost all night, after all, he was just a big boy. Although I have experienced so many weird things these days, my vision has long been extraordinary, but I still have to be nervous when encountering such major events.
Nicole came to Roddy's room early in the morning, drove straight to Angel, the maid, 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. The tailoring is extremely decent. Roddy puts on his body and immediately reveals his strong and straight figure. The whole person looks heroic.
The two of them looked at each other from time to time and exchanged thoughts. After Roddy was dressed and dressed, Nicole carefully looked at Roddy's ears again to make sure that no flaws were revealed.
Roddy thought of his ears, feeling a little disappointed, and couldn't help but said: "Nicole, when will you remove my ears?"
Nicole didn't dare to conceal any more, but smiled bitterly: "I am also thinking of a way, but Dandong's record is really difficult to understand. When this matter is over, we will study it slowly."
Roddy opened his mouth. He wanted to tell Nicole that he had found a way to use this mask, but he couldn't use it if he wasn't a magician. Thinking that Nicole is an extraordinary magician, he should be able to manipulate the mask. It was just that when the words came to my lips, I remembered Andy's instructions, knowing that Dandong's last words cannot be known to anyone, and then gave up. Nicole asked Roddy a few more words before leaving.
Roddy looked at Nicole who was close at hand, only feeling excited, and couldn't help but want to leaned in and kissed her gently on the cheek. Nicole was taken aback, and immediately dodged, with a weird pleading expression on her face, and whispered: "Rody, don't be like this. Wait... OK? The way you look now, I really can't... I look at your face and always feel like you are my brother..."
Roddy sighed, feeling annoyed but didn't dare to show it, so he could only sullen his head and let Nicole go out into the carriage.
Fortunately, Roddy and Nicole were not the only two in the carriage this time. Instructor Carter was also sitting in the carriage in an officer uniform. Nicole has announced that Instructor Carter is Set's official swordsmanship teacher. According to the tradition of the empire, after the nobles succeeded in inheriting the title, the teacher will also receive the emperor's award. So today the instructor Carter is wearing extremely spirit, and even the dreaded beard is combed meticulously. In line with the idea of respecting the teacher, Nicole did not let Instructor Carter ride a horse, but asked him to ride in a carriage with him.
A side hall in the palace has long been arranged. According to the tradition of the empire, all the royal guards have put on the most distinctive armor and stand upright around the hall. There are already many other young nobles waiting in the hall.
According to the tradition of the empire, several succession ceremonies are held every year. Every time, many young nobles came to accept the assessment, but because the assessment was made temporarily by His Majesty the Emperor, the number of people was less than the normal regular assessment. Some young aristocrats looked at Roddy with a little resentment. They all knew that because of the young master of the Tulip family, His Majesty the Emperor would greatly advance the day of the assessment.
No matter how much, Roddy walked into the hall with Nicole with his head held high. One of them is a beautiful and charming lady, and the other is a handsome handsome man who walked into the hall. They immediately attracted countless people.
All the young aristocrats who are preparing to participate in the assessment are all dressed up, trying their best to show their most spiritual side in front of others. The empire used military force to establish a country. Although it has declined a lot in the past few hundred years, the atmosphere of admiration of military force has remained somewhat. Each of these young nobles has the title of samurai, and their ranks vary-it's just that it's unclear whether they contain water.
Twenty tables have been guarded in the hall, and Nicole didn't say much, and led Roddy directly to the top table and sat down. His face was indifferent, only a little gentle when he met Rody occasionally. Instructor Carter had a different status and could not enter the hall, so he could only wait outside.
After a while, I saw that Gordon leader strode out from behind, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor of the Bright Empire is here!"
All those who were whispering silenced their voices and stood up. In the silence, a giant door opened behind the hall, and the Emperor Abbas XI slowly walked out from behind the hall. Today the emperor did not wear the white robe anymore, but wore a light gold armor and a big red cloak behind him. The haze between the eyebrows on his face was also swept away, and he looked rather energetic.
When everyone in the hall saw the emperor, they all bowed their heads and knelt down. Roddy also knelt down on one knee. But when he saw the man behind the emperor, Roddy was stunned.
Not only Roddy was stunned, but all the nobles in the hall were stunned.
Because in this kind of formal ceremony, it is the queen who usually comes together with the emperor, but today a woman standing by the side of the emperor is not the queen!
Qiaoqiao was wearing a bright red robe, as if he was in a fire. The gorgeous face was very calm at the moment, but a pair of flashing eyes showed excitement, and kept searching in the crowd below.
"Get up all." Abbas XI's unique clear voice sounded, and said lightly: "Don't be so rules, let's start." At this point, his eyes swept over Roddy's intentionally or unintentionally. Face-Roddy immediately looked away from Jojo.
Gordon immediately stood up and announced the start of the assessment loudly.
With Gordon's order. All the young aristocrats walked out of their positions. Concentrated in the center of the hall, Roddy was naturally standing in the front.
The emperor nodded and said some reluctant words-these high-sounding words were naturally not heard by Roddy. Although he did not look up, he already felt Jojo's eyes rolling on him. He felt awkward, but he dared not look up.
The first test is riding skills. There were already more than twenty imperial horses on the square in front of the main hall, and each horse was white all over, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and looked very handsome.
The young nobles all walked out of the hall and listened to Gordon's announcement of the assessment content. The square has long been set up as an army school field. Each horse has a bow and arrow, and each horse is equipped with ten arrows. There is also a cavalry spear hung on the horse, but the head of the spear has been removed. Three archery targets as high as two persons were placed in the distance!
The Guangming Empire was founded by military, every nobleman must practice martial arts, and those who inherit the title must have the title of samurai. So the assessment is mostly based on martial arts.
This assessment is not simple about riding and shooting, it is completely based on the battlefield model. After all the people mounted their horses, the target distance was too far, and they had to ride to within the range of the bow and arrow to shoot—During this distance, the knights could attack each other and try to shoot down other knights. Everyone was attacking others. Everyone must protect themselves, after all, there are only three archery targets! Shooting the arrow on the target in the melee is only half of the success-if the horse is shot off halfway, it is considered eliminated.
Of course, for the sake of fairness, this assessment is conducted in batches. The samurai of the same level can only be tested together with the samurai of the same level! Otherwise, according to the normal competition, a first-level warrior can't beat a third-level warrior.
The young nobles immediately divided into three groups. Among them, Roddy's first-class warrior has the most people. Just because many nobles, in order to inherit the title, clearly have more than the strength of the first-class warrior, they all conceal their strength before inheriting the title, so that they can stay in the queue of the first-class warrior during the assessment! In this case, although there are many opponents around, relying on his strength to exceed the first-class samurai, the odds of winning are also great. Only a few people who are fully confident of their own strength will raise their samurai level early.
The first to compete is the third-level warrior (these young nobles do not exceed the third-level warrior). Gordon gave an order, and only four knights got on the horse. Ordinarily, if four people shoot three target targets, that is more than enough. Even if they don't attack each other and honestly shoot the arrows out, they can still pass. But these four people seemed to be crazy. They just got on the horse, and none of them went to take the bows and arrows. Instead, they raised their spears in unison, rushing over like the opponent next to them...
These young aristocrats are young people who are fully confident in their own strength. Unlike those straw-bag aristocrats, they are all **** guys who want to fully show their martial arts in front of the emperor during the assessment, and in their arrogance. , Simple archery is not enough to satisfy their honor, only to shoot down the opponent uprightly, is the symbol of the true warrior!
The four people immediately became a team. Roddy was fascinated by it-he was a real samurai, and all four of them did have real talents. There are indeed two ways to dare to perform on this occasion-you know, for most nobles, the future of a lifetime may be today! If you act bravely, then His Majesty the Emperor is happy, and he might be soaring in the future.
It took a long time for the four third-level warriors to decide the victory or defeat, and in the end the strongest one was shot down by the other two. And the thinnest of them was also beaten off immediately. The remaining two people glanced at each other, and stopped their hands very tacitly. Many bows and arrows were shot, hitting the heart of the target.
The sidelines cheered and thunderous, and Abbas XI seemed very happy, and stood up and slapped his hands.
There is nothing exciting about the second-level samurai competition below. There were a total of seven people. Some of them rushed out to shoot arrows after they got on the horse, some of them attacked others with fierce faces, and some hesitated, not knowing whether to get a spear or a bow and arrow.
With Roddy's strength today, the fighting of the second-class samurai has long been insignificant. He yawned again and again, and simply closed his eyes and closed his eyes.
Unconsciously, Jojo, who was next to the emperor, saw Roddy's appearance, and a strange color flashed through his beautiful eyes.
