Judging from the current reactions of the people, they all feel that the two young masters of the lord's family are more likely to succeed, but they are not sure which one will be the final one. Few people mention Helen.

When Helen was shopping with Amy, she was not in a hurry when she heard similar discussions, and her mood was very stable.

According to the investigation of Blood Rose's secret agents, in the past two days, many people with suspicious identities have sneaked into the city. Val's two brothers and two sons also kept making small moves, all striving for the ultimate victory.

There were more attacks and assassinations, and Helen was affected a little bit. However, she was quite strong and had guards by her side. The assassinations were all near misses and didn't hurt her at all.

After the mice lurking in the dark took action, they left more traces. Val's people watched secretly, and had already quietly grasped the movements of several people and horses, and secretly laid a net of heaven and earth.

Time passed unsteadily, and finally came the day when the heir to the title was announced.

In the early morning of this day, Helen found Amy and Sirin, explained the arrangements for the day to them, and left Liv by their side, then rushed to the lord's mansion in a hurry.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, some soldiers came to the Golden Rose Square in the city, laid a temporary high platform, placed tables, chairs and benches, and set up the open-air meeting place in less than an hour.

At ten o'clock, Lord Val came to the scene with Helen's support, followed by his two sons and some family members.

Val looked very sick, his complexion was extremely bad, and he was so weak that he had to rely on his daughter's support to walk, as if he would collapse at any time.

The eldest son, Kenchi, is calm and calm, with a steady pace, and seems to have a plan in his mind.

The second son, Lavender, had a slightly anxious expression. When walking behind his father, he often looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

In addition to the lord's family, the witness from the imperial capital also came to the scene. She was dressed in elegant clothes and covered her face with a light veil, but she could still see blond hair and blue eyes, with a noble and domineering temperament. She turned out to be a member of the royal family .

Amy knew that it was Sarina, and according to Val, the princess received a secret order from the emperor on the way back to the imperial capital, and was forced to return to the Golden Rose Territory halfway to be this thankless witness.

Amy could sense that the dragon scale was no longer on Selina's body, and it was probably sent back to Camelot City by the emperor's spies.

A circle of ordinary people gathered around the square to watch the play. Amy and Sirin were not among them. They were in a tricky position. They were in a room facing the street in a small three-story building nearby, and they could have a panoramic view of the scene below. There is no need to squeeze into the crowd, and it is convenient to support in real fights.

Liv served the two next to her, and she acted as a sounding board.She and Helen wear a pair of sound transmission rings, which can communicate remotely through sound transmission within a certain distance.

Everyone who entered the venue sat down one by one, and the affairs officers under the lord also came and took their seats one after another to witness the power handover ceremony.

The gong sounded, and the noise outside the venue gradually calmed down. The guards surrounded the crowd to isolate the people watching the theater.

Val was half-sitting and half-lying on the chair, breathless, and his life was in jeopardy. Even his eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were chaotic.

While drinking tea and watching a play, Amy touched Sirin's arm and complained in a low voice: "Don't tell me, this guy is pretending to be pretty. If you don't know the truth, you will really be bluffed."

Sirin glanced at a man in black robe behind Val, pointed at him, and said, "It's that man's handwriting."

"Is that the high-ranking magician Helen said she had befriended with her father?" Amy glanced at it, but she couldn't see anything unusual through the robe and hood.

"That should be a master of black magic." Sirin whispered, "It may not be the main profession, but it must have been intensively studied in black magic. Look carefully, his hand was secretly on Val's shoulder, and he restrained it with magic power. Vaal's life flow is a life-weary spell in black magic, it is generally used to torture enemies and interrogate intelligence, and it is a very advanced spell."

"So Val's current appearance is not all a disguise, but is he really weak?" Amy laughed. Val is really a ruthless person to achieve this level in order to be realistic in acting.

After the music was over, she found something was wrong again, and muttered: "You know black magic very well, and you can see through the techniques of advanced spells at a glance."

"I was once ordered to hunt down a legendary black magician." Sirin said softly, "I learned my tracking spells and the knowledge of the black magic system at that time."

Convinced, Ami gave a thumbs up, "Genius!"

Sirin smiled and rubbed Amy's hair. Friends in the expedition team once said that if she gave up swordsmanship and switched to magic, she could also become a legendary professional.

On the path of cultivation, she is indeed worthy of the evaluation of "genius".

Before the handover ceremony on the high platform officially started, Amy slapped off Sirin's hand and scanned the crowd below.

Amy quickly noticed Sharina's figure. The purple hair of the convict was too conspicuous. She stood with the companion named Beatrice, dressed as a young lady who went out to buy groceries, and held hands , with a basket on the other side, and there are fruits and vegetables in the basket.

They were located on the left side of the entrance and exit of the square, and Sharina's eyes flashed purple streamers from time to time, obviously using her eyes of guilt to search for dissonant voices that might be mixed in the crowd.

On the other side of the venue, Amy saw several mercenaries in leather armor with the badge of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group hanging on their shoulders.

The leader has black medium-length hair and a rough beard, which doesn't look like a good stubble.

"That person's strength is good, a platinum-level professional." Sirin noticed Amy's gaze and said, "Moreover, the fighting spirit is solid, the basic skills are profound, and there is a chance to be promoted to a gem-level professional. It should be a black wolf mercenary." The backbone of the regiment, even the regiment leader."

Amy rolled her eyes and complained, "How can you tell the strength level of others at a glance, but I can't?"

When she concentrated her magic power to her eyes, she could barely see the flow of other people's magic power, but she couldn't judge the opponent's strength based on this, nor could she be sure whether the opponent was hiding something.

Unlike Sirin, who can make a conclusion just by opening her mouth, there are basically no mistakes, and she sounds very handsome.

"This is the difference between fighting professionals and spellcasting professionals." Sirin sensed Amy's little emotions, and explained softly: "Ghost energy and magic are two different energies. In terms of the magic power linked to the hook, grudges are a kind of power that manifests outwards, a collection of physical and blood energy. According to the physical state of a fighter and the degree of grudges, it is easy to judge his approximate strength. strength."

Sirin can see through the strength of that mercenary at a glance, the reason is very simple, she is stronger than that mercenary, she has gone through that stage of strength, and her observation ability is meticulous and keen enough.

"Tsk tsk." Amy shook her head and continued to observe the crowd.

Not long after, she found two men in black robes standing side by side. They were standing behind the crowd of onlookers. Judging from their attire, they should all be magicians, but they seemed to have some very subtle and interesting aura around them. .

Amy thought for a while, and opened the [Eye of Conviction].

A tinge of purple covered Amy's field of vision. Under the special field of vision, many fine black lines spread out from the crowd below. There were more people than others, and it was impossible to generalize.

Amy first looked at her suspects, the two mysterious black-robed mages.

Dense and thick black lines spread out from them, and their mutual sins are entangled, magnified, and amplified, far exceeding the specifications of ordinary sinners, which can be called "heinous crimes".

In addition, the black lines spreading from their bodies are also connected to many people around the square. Amy looked along the line and saw the bearded mercenary again.

The crimes on this mercenary were extremely strong, even stronger than those of the two mages, and the twisted lines of sins spread upwards and broke in mid-air, as if they were connected to some mysterious existence.

And following the black thread on the bearded man's body, the two young masters of the lord's family on the stage were also entangled by the same black thread, and it spread to the three officials!

The magic power flowed away, like opening a gate to release water, and soon came to the warning line. Amy quickly closed the [Eye of Conviction], closed her eyes and rubbed around her eye sockets, to relieve the fatigue of the dyed vision.

[Eye of Conviction] This skill, Amy has not used it a few times since she got it, because of its huge consumption of mana and the burden on her eyes.

Amy's current magic power is already at the level of a gold-level professional, and she was drawn to almost dryness in less than ten seconds. The consumption is really terrifying.

But its effect is also very obvious, and it can find other sinners related to it according to the thread of guilt entangled in the target!

This is no longer a simple recognition of sins, but an ability close to "fate vision"!

It is indeed a reward given by the system, so powerful that it is unreasonable!

Of course, the guiding ability of the thread of sin seems to have a distance limit. Many lines on these people cannot find the link target and are in a disconnected state.

"Did you see anything?" Sirin asked in a low voice as she stretched out her hands to massage Amy.

Amy opened her eyes and pointed at the two black-robed mages who were in the crowd: "No accident, those two are members of Discord."

She pointed along the line she saw, "That mercenary is also, and the crime is more serious than those two mages. It is basically certain that the Black Wolf mercenary group is colluding with Discord."

"The two stupid sons of the lord's family are both related to the mercenary's crimes. I'm afraid they are accomplices in some things. They also involve three affairs officers. The first from the left, the third from the left, and the first from the right have problems. .”

"Besides, there are also many thugs planted by dissonant voices in the crowd, probably in those places."

Sirin stopped the movement of her hands, and sighed: "What a powerful pupil technique, you can see so much information in just a few seconds! If you were there when the abyss invaded, we would not be affected by those who can deform and mimic The monster deceived."

Amy squinted her eyes, and complained: "The effect is good, but the magic power is consumed too much, and the eyes are very tired."

Her magic power recovers very quickly, like stepping on a blue buff under her feet. After ten seconds, more than half of her almost dry magic power will be recovered.

If you use [Transformation of the power of the leylines], it is estimated that the mana will be full immediately.

But the fatigue of the eyes was not so easy to relieve. She felt that the eye sockets were wet and uncomfortable, so she took out a clean handkerchief and wiped it, wiping away a few tears.

Still have to use with caution.

Amy thought to herself, don't use this pupil technique like sharing sharing eyes, it will blind you if you use it too much.

She is quite satisfied with her eyes, they are beautiful and energetic, and she doesn't want to become blind.

"Liv, pass the news to your lady so that the lord is ready to deal with it." Sirin said to the short-haired female swordsman not far away while continuing to massage Amy.

Liv's expression was shocked, and she regained her composure after hearing Sirin's order. She tapped the ring on her hand and said a few words quickly in a low voice.

Helen's low voice of "understanding" came from the opposite side of the ring, her voice trembling slightly, obviously her mood was not calm.

It is estimated that she did not expect that her two elder brothers were dragged into the thief boat.

At this moment, a voice came from the high platform, and it was Selina who spoke:

"Yu, the seventh imperial daughter of the empire, Selina Arthur Rose, publicly witnessed the selection ceremony of the successor of the title of Golden Rose and the position of local lord today!"

"I swear in the name of His Majesty the Emperor that Yu will ensure that the successor complies with the regulations, and that the territory and titles will be handed over smoothly, in an open and fair manner, and there will be no secrets!"

"Your Excellency Val, please tell me the successor you have chosen! If it is not convenient to explain, you can also give Yu the note with someone's name on it, and Yu will read your decision on the spot!"

Amy pouted secretly, she could never forget the picture of the girl kneeling down and calling her grandma Gao Zu, and she also kept her posture low when she asked for autographs later, she didn't expect that when she said these scene words, she still felt quite emotional.

Tsk tsk, first impressions hurt.

Song of the Traveler: Chapter 20 Ready to go!

Selina's voice kicked off the ceremony, and everyone on the high platform looked at Val involuntarily.

Val, who looked extremely weak, tremblingly took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

This is also the routine operation of most nobles when they notarize their heirs. They write the results on paper and give them to the witnesses to read them out, instead of saying it out of their own mouths.

Selina walked to the table and took the folded paper.

The elder son Kench's face remained calm, but the palms under the sleeves had quietly clenched into fists.

The second son, Lavender, put his hands on his chest, looking determined to win.

He is not as impatient as when he first stepped onto the high platform. It seems that his previous search has achieved results, and he has received a signal of assurance from some people.

Only Helen was truly calm. She sat beside her father, her lips trembling invisibly, and some confidential words were sent to Val's ears by means of magical sound transmission.

Amy noticed that the mysterious sorcerer who served as the lord's guard quietly moved his hand on Val's shoulder.

Selina walked to a place far away from the crowd, unfolded the folded paper, with a feigned surprise on her face.

"The acting skills are not good." Amy complained in a low voice.

As a participant in this project, Selina knew Val's intentions a long time ago, and nothing else would appear on the paper except Helen's name.

The blond-haired and blue-eyed princess walked to the place where the affairs officials were, and raised her voice, "I announce that the legal heir to the title of Golden Rose and the local lord is—"

She elongated her voice, as if she was maintaining a sense of solemnity when reading, or as if she was deliberately whetting someone's appetite.

Kench's eyes were burning, and Lavender was so excited that he took a small step forward.

The crowd outside the square was also waiting for the final result, and Selina almost attracted everyone's attention.

The condescending Amy can see that at this moment, some professionals quietly penetrate the crowd and build a secret encirclement network. The positions she previously notified are all focused on.

Val sits on the court and pretends to be sick, and he can direct the actions off the court so quickly, which is really a wonderful person.

After a pause of nearly ten seconds, Selina called out the name on the paper.

"Helen Ross!"

"Okay!"

Liv next to Sirin cried out excitedly, but the cheers she expected did not appear. When everyone on the high platform heard the name, they fell into brief shock and silence.

The affairs officers were relatively close to Selina, and when the princess turned over the paper and showed them the contents, they couldn't help but

look at each other.

There were a total of eight affairs officers. Some had gloomy faces, some were relieved, and some frowned in thought. It seemed that they didn't understand Val's intentions, and some were peeking at other people's reactions.

Selina deliberately didn't continue talking, but looked at the group of affairs officers with a half-smile.

Off the court, the siege net arranged by Val is closing, and there are special markers beside every suspicious person.

"Excellent plan, extremely fast response, and strong execution ability." Sirin commented in a low voice, "Even without us, Val has completely grasped the situation."

"After all, it's the lord of one party." Amy complained, "The face is kind and the heart is dark, but it is the essence."

After a long silence, the first person who couldn't bear it was Lavender, the second young master of the lord's family.

He stepped forward quickly, and after confirming that Helen's name was indeed written on the paper, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Highness, the Golden Rose Territory is located on the border of the empire. Although it is peaceful at the moment, in order to prevent the invasion of hostile forces, it is best for the new lord to be a person with a strong wrist and who knows how to fight. The younger sister is very good, but she does not understand the external and internal troubles of the territory. And it takes a lot of time to practice magic, so I'm afraid I don't have the spare energy to manage the affairs of the territory. Can you discuss with my father and change the successor of the lord?"

These words were extremely bold, but Selina remained expressionless and did not respond.

Seeing this, an office officer immediately echoed: "Your Highness, the Empire has had few wars in recent years, and its military strength has been slack. The Kingdom of Doren Hill in the south has long been eyeing us, waiting for an opportunity to attack, we must guard against it! The safety of the Golden Rose leader , is closely related to the safety of the southern border of the empire, the choice of the lord must be carefully chosen, it is best to be a person who is proficient in war command and can judge the combat situation, so as not to suffer from the border issue!"

The kingdom of Doren Hill borders the southeast border of the empire. It is a kingdom in name, but in fact it is a joint regime formed by the old nobles who were expelled from the empire by Emperor Eltor and colluded with some indigenous forces in the south of the mainland.

Hundreds of years ago, Doren Hill was still a small power that no one valued, but with the development of the rainforest and seaport in the southern part of the Divine Blessed Continent, Doren Hill gradually prospered and became a neighbor in the south that the empire needed to pay attention to.
