Chapter XVII

"Guys from the Ministry of Security, huh...... Their uniforms look a lot better than the original. Regner lowered his voice and said to Cordak and Vera, although the uniform had changed, Regner still recognized the badge on the middle-aged man's chest at a glance, it was very obvious, this was the badge of the Ministry of Justice of Melindel.

"What should I do?" asked Vera, who was not too familiar with the Imperial Civilization and various laws when she first came to the Chino Continent, so she knew that it was better to listen to Regner at this time.

"I'll negotiate. Regner whispered, then he raised his head and smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "My lord, are you from the Ministry of Security?"

"Not an adult, I'm just a little patrolman in the Ministry of Public Security. The middle-aged man spoke tepidly, and he didn't have much arrogance: "The three are from other places?"

"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Regner.

"Recently, a lot of outsiders have come to sign up for the martial arts competition, and looking at the three of them, they must all be fighters with some strength, so I guess so. The patrolman also smiled, but then his tone became a little colder: "But, why did a few people come here?

"I beg your pardon, we're definitely not here to make trouble. Regner bowed in apology, and he continued: "I came here to look for someone, but because I was too anxious, I may have acted out of line just now, and I think the people from the Wind Mansion can also testify to this matter, I hope you can be aware of it." ”

Regner said as he quietly approached the patrolman before shoving a gold coin into his hand.

When the patrol officer got the gold coin, he was also happy. He saw that these three people were extraordinary, so when he came here, he didn't think about making it difficult for them. And now this half-grown young man is still so generous, which naturally makes the patrol officer smile.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, then I won't pursue it any more. The patrolman pinched the gold coin, then quietly slipped it into his pocket.

"Thank you, sir. Regner called the patrol officer one by one, of course, this kid's mouth is so sweet, naturally he also has a request for him, so Ragner then asked: "By the way, I don't know if I can ask the adult about something?"

"Something, you say. The patrol officer took the money, and naturally became more enthusiastic about these three people.

"I'm a little interested in the tournament, and I wonder if you can explain it to us in detail. Regner asked.

"Of course. The Ranger nodded. Then he spent about five minutes explaining the tournament to the three of them.

The war between the Hawk Empire and the Stoke Empire has entered a stalemate, but there is no doubt that the current situation in the southern theater is not optimistic. In the early stage of the war, the Hawk Empire had a strong morale all the way, and once achieved a huge advantage on the battlefield, and they even fought all the way into the Stoke Empire, near the capital of a province north of Stoke.

But in the recent year, the Stoke Empire has launched a strong counterattack. The Hawke Empire's defenses quickly collapsed under Stoker's swift onslaught. Stoke not only regained his lost territory, but also pressed forward step by step, and now he has almost pressed the battlefield into the territory of the Hawk Empire.

The successive defeats not only made the morale of the front extremely low, but also caused a negative mood to spread among the people of the Hawke Empire. If it is allowed to develop, the top management is worried that the situation will continue to deteriorate, even to the point of being out of control.

Therefore, Ralvin the Great decided to hold a great tournament within the Hawke Empire. First, to boost the momentum of the empire by showing the strength of the empire, and secondly, Ralvin the Great also wanted to recruit some capable people through this competition, and the addition of these new blood must also have a certain impact on the battlefield situation of the empire.

There are two levels of martial arts, low-level and intermediate-level, adventurers of any profession from level one to seven can sign up for low-level martial arts, and adventurers of any profession from level eight to fourteen can sign up for intermediate competitions.

As for the high-level ...... Even if it is a high-level warrior, I am afraid that there are only about a hundred in the entire empire, and there are even fewer high-level mages and the like. These powerhouses who have stepped into the high-level realm are all rare resources of the empire, and they are afraid that they have already been subdued by the Hawke Empire for a long time, so there is no need to engage in high-level competitions.

In addition to the adventurers who did not pledge allegiance to any power, the Hawke Empire also drew several representatives from the army, the city guards, the court mage guards, and the court guards to participate in the tournament.

In addition to this, there is an additional restriction on the competition, and that is age. The age limit for low-level martial arts is under 20 years old, while the age limit for intermediate martial arts is 50 years old.

The Hawke Empire's intention in doing this was obvious, the purpose of the low-level competition was to select talented young talents, so they deliberately kept their age low. If a person is still wandering around the low-level realm at the age of thirty or forty, then this kind of person has no future even if he is strong in the low-level realm. Low-level, after all, low-level!

The middle level is different, it can be said that the high-level middle level already belongs to the upper level of the world's armed forces. As long as this kind of person is not too old, then he is a very useful person for the Hawke Empire. Therefore, they raised the age limit of the middle level to fifty years old, which gave many middle-aged middle-level powerhouses the opportunity to show their strength.

After hearing this, Regner silently pondered in his heart, then thanked the patrolman and left with Kordak and the others.

......

"What are you going to do next?" asked Kordak when he returned to the hotel, "Go ahead and find Anne?"

Regner thought for a moment, then said, "Of course you have to look for it." ”

"So you're going to the jousting tournament?" Cordak guessed Regner's idea.

"Yes. Regner nodded, this tournament will be held in half a month, and it is still too late to register, although this decision was hasty. But if he wants to find Annelot, he has to participate in the competition. Although there were many servants in Malolet's house, they did not know where Annelot had gone, and Regner could not expect to wait for Annelot to die there. The only way to do this is to go there and try your luck at the tournament.

Regna is extremely confident that with the strength of Annielot, he will definitely shine in this match. So, as long as she competes, it shouldn't be difficult to find her.

Kordak grinned, he and Vera looked at each other, and then said, "Alright, we'll fight with you." ”

"Huh?" Regner was stunned.

Kordak shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, this kind of thing is rare, Vera and I have nothing to do in the past two days anyway, and the past two fights are just a good time to move our muscles." I've heard that the prize money is very attractive, even the top 32 are rewarded with 1,000 gold coins each. ”

"Sister Vera, do you think so?" Regner turned to look at Vera.

Wei stretched her waist, exposing her perfect curves, and said with a smile: "Yes, sister, I haven't moved my hand for many days, and I've been idle for a long time." ”

"Alright, this afternoon, let's sign up!" Regna also decided.
