Reject me, you damn woman.

At first, the subjects actively avoided the tests of the first Majesty, but one day later, people discovered that even if they took the initiative to pray, the original Dragon Blood King would no longer respond to his offspring.

He seemed to have disappeared from this world, just like the golden holy dragon that had bestowed protection on him.

Only the purple gold flowers blooming on the map of the continent still retain traces of his existence in this world.

However, it is hard to tell whether this is his disappointment or pity for his descendants.

And today, in front of the "bloodless prince" Lin En and the outsider Mosyati, the head of the Morris family, the door of the test of the first emperor was opened again.

Some of the older ministers with gray hair couldn't help but tremble their lips and their vision became blurred.

Although even the oldest elders had never seen the heroic figure of the legendary emperor, due to the word of mouth of the older generation, almost everyone wanted the glory of the Holy Dragon to burn again in the land of Purple Gold Flower.

The expression of the head of the Morris family also became serious.

Obviously, as one of the eight oldest pillar families of the empire, he was aware of the crisis and danger of the emperor's test.

As a challenger, he had to take the holy test first. After the holy test of the head of the Morris family was over, it would be the turn of Lin En, who was a descendant of Norton and also the challenger.

During this process, Lynn's consciousness will enter a special space, and he can watch the process of the Morris family head being tested at will.

However, no one would think it was inappropriate, because unlike the trials of other previous emperors, the test of the First Emperor was very rigid and harsh. It would erase the subject's original memory and let the subject accept the test from the perspective of the First Emperor with his own consciousness.

In other words, it's like immersive role-playing.

Even if you have all the memories of that majesty, but you have not personally experienced the desperate situations and difficulties that the hero has experienced, how can you overcome the difficulties that only he can overcome?

What's more, some things, even those done by the first emperor, are quite controversial.

For example, the theme of the holy test that the two of them are now going to undergo is [Twilight of the Holy Dragon].

There was a flash of light, and the consciousness of the head of the Morris family had entered the picture, replacing the first emperor whose face was shrouded in light and could not be seen clearly.

At this moment, in the dark void, a girl's voice that sounded a little too serious suddenly rang out in Lin En's ears:

"Sure enough, I was wrong. I should have known long ago that there is no other golden holy dragon in this world."

Lin En turned his head and saw that a girl shrouded in golden light had appeared beside him.

She was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing heavy armor, holding the huge sword blade with both hands, her long platinum hair was neatly tied behind her head, and her face was covered with golden light, making it difficult for Lin En to see her features.

"you are?"

Lynn asked.

"This is the Norton Family's Holy Trial Space. You can call me 'Administrator' or whatever you like. Just know that I have no ill will towards you, and I will not interfere with your Holy Trial."

The girl said calmly, then paused.

"However, as a descendant of Norton, I can still tell you that there is something wrong with the soul of the guy competing with you."

"Ok, I know."

Lynn nodded.

At this time, the head of the Morris family had completely entered the holy test and temporarily became the great king of the past. However, a look of success flashed across his eyes.

Sure enough, his soul, which had been transformed by the great ring in the tower, had been reborn.

The head of the Morris family is very conceited, but he has never arrogantly thought that he has reached the level of the first Purple Gold Flower Emperor.

If it were my past self, after entering the Holy Test, I would definitely be confused and at a loss like the other test subjects, and then mechanically begin to obey the instinct given by the Holy Test, ignore everything, and carry out the trial.

But this transformed soul can ignore the restrictions of the holy test, allowing the head of the Morris family to retain his complete consciousness and memories.

In other words, although Patriarch Morris didn't know how to handle the situation better than the first Majesty, he could completely imitate the first Majesty's behavior and make the same choice as him!

Although, it is generally believed in later generations that it was the beginning of the first emperor’s burial into old age and the fall of the first generation of heroes of the Purple Gold Flower Legend.

But, this is still much better than groping around like a headless fly.

Patriarch Morris began to recall and sort out the memories in his mind.

Although the memories of the first emperor implanted in his mind had large gaps in order to prevent state secrets from being leaked, the part about the holy test was quite detailed.

Looking at the two servants in front of him who were nervous and looking at him anxiously, Master Morris fell into memories.

The beginning of the story seems to be...the queen's betrayal?

It seemed that because the first emperor had been away fighting for years, Her Majesty the Queen, who was the product of a political marriage and had been alone in her boudoir for many years, fell uncontrollably in love with the first knight and ally of the first emperor, the so-called "perfect knight", who was also the head of the first Kalenica family, one of the eight major families in the future imperial capital.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? In the eyes of the outside world, His Majesty the Holy Dragon, who is the omnipotent king and relied upon by everyone, was betrayed by his two closest people at the very beginning of the end of his legend."

The girl spoke again, her voice tinged with sarcasm.

"In fact, the queen didn't really have an affair with Kalenica. They didn't even touch each other. It's just that as the perfect queen, the long-term mental pressure made this poor woman need a spiritual sustenance. She just happened to choose Kalenica."

"I know this, a platonic relationship."

Lin En nodded in agreement.

"Bai what?"

The girl was stunned for a moment.

"It's a purely spiritual love that doesn't involve the physical body. It's a new word from later times. It's normal for a dead person like you not to know it."

Lynn explained thoughtfully.

The girl who was affectionately called "dead person" could only say thank you in a stammering voice...

The girl quickly regained her composure and continued:

"But guess what, how did the great Majesty do it?"

There was no need for the girl to narrate, as Master Morris had already made the same decision as the first Majesty according to the records in the main text of history.

The remaining seven of the eight great families united to expose the secret meeting between the queen and the head of the Karenica family. The angry First Majesty set up a purifying stake and burned the queen with the purifying flames in the same way as the punishment for an unfaithful woman.

The queen herself had no complaints, but only thanked the king for his help. The head of the Karenica family stayed indoors and did not go out.

Just when everyone thought that this matter would end with the first emperor killing the queen as an example to scare the monkeys and intimidating the head of the Kalenica family, on the eve of the execution, the head of the Kalenica family rode out of his territory alone, fought with the knights of other families, and kidnapped the queen who was about to be purified by flames. One of the heads of the eight major families was even accidentally killed on the spot.

This was a shame for the kingdom and the Norton family, and it made the already scarce trust between the eight major families become like waste paper. However, the nascent empire could not withstand any more violent shocks.

The first emperor chose to put the overall situation first, swallowed the matter, and did not punish the head of the Kalenica family. However, Kalenica became an outlier among the eight major families from then on, and completely broke with the other seven families, and there would be no way back from that.

The shaky fledgling empire was thus back on track, but what the first emperor did not expect was that while he thought this was the end, it was actually the beginning of turmoil.

The generosity of the First Emperor did not bring about mutual understanding, but only made the hatred more deeply buried.

The Morris family, whose head had died, held a grudge against Kalenica and even the first emperor. The first emperor had no choice but to heal the other party's wounds through a series of conciliatory policies and preferential treatment. As a result, the Morris family became the most powerful of the eight families, and it remains the same to this day.

When the first emperor, who was once ambitious and full of vigor and ambition to expand the territory, actually started to maintain a country, he realized that it was a hundred times more difficult than conquering a country.

He forced himself to change from a ruler who expanded territory to an emperor who carefully maintained a balance among all parties.

But if it were just that, it would seem barely acceptable.

Time is the best medicine. Maurice's hatred, Karenica's pain and unspeakable shame, and even his own regret for the queen, all seem to be diluted by time. Perhaps it will take several generations, or perhaps all the heroes at that time will go to their graves.

"It would be nice if things really turned out that way."

The girl sighed silently.

Suffering did not spare this new country. One day after the accident, the barbarians invaded the north. At that time, there was no lion in the north to suppress everything. The roaring barbarians rushed into the north, robbed food, robbed women, and robbed everything in the north.

Watching a barbarian ostentatiously chop a child in half with a single blow and then burst into laughter, outside the screen, the Duke of the North clenched his iron fist hidden under his cloak.

Fortunately, the pampered imperial life did not make the first emperor weak. When the country needed him, he still led the army in person like a savior.

The barbarians in the north threw away their armor and fled in panic when the emperor took up his sword again. At this time, the envoys from the imperial capital arrived at the emperor's military tent. However, it was not a celebration of triumph, but a new omen.

The Morris family that stayed in the imperial capital split up, and the branch of the family that had been killed by the head of the Kalenica family took advantage of the fact that the first emperor was away from the imperial capital and launched a rebellion.

And the girl who started the rebellion actually learned a degraded dragon transformation ritual from somewhere, and used the blood of the first emperor to forcibly transform herself into a dragon descendant at the cost of huge side effects!

"People who followed the First Emperor because they believed in him and believed he could give the country and the family a future, rebelled because he could not give them these things."

The girl spoke lightly, with a tone full of disdain and sadness.

"It's almost over."

The girl's voice sounded like she was talking in a dream.

And this is indeed the case. This final trial ended much faster than expected.

In the scene, the tyrannical girl wielded a huge holy sword, roared, and led the cavalry to crush the army of Master Morris. With tears of blood and trembling hands, she chopped off the head of Master Morris, and the trial ended in a manner completely opposite to history.

However, no one would blame the head of the Morris family, and some people in the banquet hall even cheered loudly for him.

Being able to restore such a difficult holy test to such a level, his performance has exceeded everyone's imagination.

It’s not that the head of the Morris family is incompetent, it’s simply because the dragon-blooded barbarian of the Norton family is too outrageous.

In the official history, the first emperor who was bestowed with the golden holy dragon and truly bathed in the holy dragon's protection, marched for thousands of miles and defeated the girl's army, which was three times her own, like a torrent of wind and rain, and once again showed his tolerance.

He only punished Morris's tribe, but pardoned all the rest of the Morris tribe, and treated them the same as before.

However, because of this incident, no matter how the imperial power changes in the future, no matter how talented and ambitious the descendants of the Norton royal family are, the system of the eight major families has been deeply rooted in the bones of this country.

Be it the previous king who ruled with ease, or a ruthless ruler like the current empress, they are no longer able to change the situation.

During this period, a small incident occurred.

Her Majesty the Queen, who should have been burned at the stake, grabbed the hand of the head of the Kalenica family and made him pierce her heart with a sword after learning that the imperial capital had rebelled and the first emperor and the country were in danger. She also asked him to swear that he would be loyal to the Norton family forever.

Thus, among the eight major families, the Kalenica family, known as the "perfect knight family", disappeared from history.

He worked hard in the darkness and served the Norton family, and the prototype of today's "Shadow Knight" came into being.

...............

"How pitiful."

Lynn couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, this is a tragedy with no winners. I have seen many children re-enact this story later. Some of them may be more talented than the original idiot. However, they all failed and did not come up with a better answer."

There was a hint of sadness in the girl's tone, as if mixed with rotten grass and rotten branches.

"I'm talking about you. You're so pitiful."

Lin En held his forehead and sighed, looking askance at the girl who was in a state of sadness and whose temperament was seriously inconsistent with her appearance and age:

"Until the time of death, he didn't even know who his real enemy was. How pitiful!"

"But what's even worse is that after pretending to be a man his whole life, even after his death, the legend he left behind still contained a story that he was cheated on. It's so tragic that I can't bear to watch it."

"I'm not being cheated on!!!"

Under Lin En's steady gaze, the middle part of the girl's face covered by white light gradually became stained with two blushes, and the snow-white neck wrapped in armor also gradually became rosy.

"You, when did you find out?!"

The girl's voice became extremely stiff.

"Let's start with the time when the queen cheated on you, but she remained chaste with the head of the Kalenica family until her death."

Lynn spread his hands.

"Being married to a girl who looks a few years younger than you would be a huge psychological pressure for anyone, especially since dragon blood can bring longevity. She was able to hold it in until the end and still think about you, so she can barely be considered a good woman."

"Um...Guinelle...wait a minute, what are you commenting on, little kid? That's your great-great-great-grandmother!"

"Two women can give birth?!"

Lynn was really shocked this time.

"Because the inheritance ceremony of the Norton family is...well, what nonsense are you and I talking about? But it doesn't matter. After you enter the Holy Trial, you will forget about what happened here."

The girl interrupted the words that were about to slip out in time, and then shook her head dejectedly.

After Lin En pointed out the truth, she actually felt complicated.

I was somewhat shocked, yet also somewhat indescribably happy.

But, it doesn't matter.

After Lin En enters the holy test, this story that was like a flash in the pan in this young man's life will disappear forever.

And I will continue my journey of atonement, staying here forever, until the last dragon-blooded person who is qualified to start the holy test disappears.

"By the way, you just said who my real enemy is. What did you mean?"

the girl asked.
