Early in the morning, the Imperial Arena was crowded with people, and everyone wanted to watch the knight joust, but the arena could only accommodate 3,000 spectators. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info gold robes and red robes were dispatched, and they used spears and bodies to form a human wall, driving away the people who surrounded them, in order to clear the road. Sebastian fears this kind of large-scale event the most, and if he wants to attack the emperor and important ministers, this kind of scene is very appropriate. He mobilized two-thirds of the gold-robed guards in the inner city and one-third of the red-robed guards in the outer city to maintain order and vigilance, and to search every spectator who entered the arena.

Last night, he tossed and turned, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered Kasuelon Young surrounded by flames. When the rain stopped, it was the middle of the night, and he fell asleep in a daze. Early in the morning, he was woken up by his attendants, hastily ate fried eggs, ham, bread, and an apple, and hurried to the arena.

Today's sun is not dazzling, the temperature is moderate, and the air is humid because of last night's rain. When Sebastian arrived in the spacious private room of the arena, the members of the Imperial Council, the lords, governors, and generals of the major provinces sat or stood, waiting for the arrival of the emperor's family.

"Prime Minister, your eyes are a little dark, you didn't sleep well last night?" said Winston Groom, who turned his head when he saw Sebastian, and said that he only wore a bachelor's necklace today, and he no longer looked as hunched back as he had been a few days ago.

Sebastian looked at Bill Newton, who was talking to General Schneider, and nodded slightly when he met Sebastian's gaze.

"It rained a lot last night and I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to play today. He prevaricated, "The knightly competition is the climax of the whole celebration, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. ”

The scholar nodded and touched the necklace: "You're right, but I'm more worried about you, you look haggard these days, if necessary, I can concoct a calming potion for you." ”

Worried about the law and order all day long, worried that the food of the celebration was poisoned, and that Governor Yang died, how could I not be haggard. After the celebration, I must quit my job and visit the mountains and rivers of the empire, and give myself a long vacation. Sebastian nodded politely: "Thank you for your concern, I think I will be able to sleep well after the celebration, you are also very tired during this time, pay attention to your body." He saw Olaf, said goodbye to the scholar, and walked over.

Olaf looked unremarkably dressed in a linen-colored coarse cloth blouse. When he saw Sebastian, he smiled back.

"Where did you go last night, I can't think of anyone to drink with. Sebastian looked around, and the master craftsman was whispering to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Last night the shopping street was really lively, and the nobles were making a big move, and I was singing a few songs in the streets, and the Reichmark threw it into my top hat. Olaf smiled, "Your Excellency, I realize that I can start a second career and earn some extra money." ”

"Damn, you should be a bard. Sebastian lowered his voice, exasperation in his tone. Kajielun Young is dead, and you're still having fun.

"No way, who is called the governor, I have the lowest income. Most of the tax revenue of the Sunset Province went to the Emperor. Olaf shrugged.

"Are you questioning the Empire's tax policy, or complaining about the imbalance in the Governor's remuneration system?" said Justice Chancellor Fred Mann, blinking and dumbfounded.

Olaf exhaled and patted Fred Mann on the shoulder: "The Minister of Justice is powerful, and he can associate anything with laws, policies, and systems. I'm complaining about myself, my income is so low, and my expenses are so big. Hey, the girls in Thundercastle are expensive, and the Reichmark spent overnight makes my heart ache faintly. If I don't make some extra money, how can I make the girls happy when I am shy?"

Fred Mann frowned, showing a palpable disgust for Olaf, shrugged his shoulders, pushed Olaf's hand away, and walked towards Baron Wagner.

Olaf tilted his head, approached Sebastian, and said softly: "I gave all the extra money I earned a few days ago to Governor Yang's wife, and that's all I can help." ”

Sebastian's heart moved, his eyes were hot, and he almost screamed, Olaf, this guy looks like a fool, but he is the most trustworthy.

Bill looked at them, then turned to greet Commander Ludwig.

"I really didn't expect ...... last night"

"I know it all. Mrs. Yang said it all. Olaf shook his head slightly, interrupting Sebastian's words, and lowered his voice, "The fat manager's behavior is a bit abnormal, you better be careful." ”

Even Bill himself told me not to trust him. Sebastian nodded.

At this time, the herald's staff struck three times and shouted: "The great Emperor August Rudolph, the rightful heir of the great Kingdom of Gusselwice, the immortal Rhodes Empire, has arrived!"

Everyone turned to the entrance of the private room in unison and knelt on the ground.

Escorted by the knights of the Imperial Guard, the Emperor's family set off from Junshou City and finally arrived at the arena on time. The emperor lifted the crooked crown, and his face was ruddy. After he took his seat, everyone sat down in their seats.

Sebasti was puzzled by the fact that the martial prince would not miss the knight game.

The emperor stood up and raised his right hand, and the stands suddenly fell silent: "Knight, it is the pride of the empire." In the south, the province of Menor, where the traditional knights are rich in knights, where the knights are highly skilled, in the east, the province of Orlando, where gold rich mines are blooming everywhere and the golden knights are well-equipped, and the Imperial Royal Knights, the elite of the knights, are powerful. ”

Olaf said softly: "The eloquence of being an emperor is very good. A bonanza of gold everywhere?tsk, I think I should go mining. ”

"Don't get into the rhetoric, Olaf, do you really want to be a miner?" Parker Bloom retorted with a laugh, "Come to me, make sure you're a good digger, thick skin, and no woman likes you for a week." ”

"Oh, forget it, I can't live without beauty. Olaf shrugged.

His Majesty the Emperor's emotions became more and more excited, and his voice became louder and louder: "These knights are the pride of the empire, but who is the elite of the elite? Who is the favorite of the elite? Knights, do you dare to fight?"

There are about 50 knights standing in the venue, and a group of people are full of shiny plate armor, extremely complex patterns, and golden yellow borders, which are from Orlando Province at first glance, and are called "Golden Knights" There were a group of men wearing silver-white chain mail with chain mail helmets, square oak shields and maces, which were the traditional knightly equipment of the province of Meno, a group of men wearing glazed white plate armor with golden lightning bolts engraved on their breastplates, which were Imperial royal knights, and the last group of men came from all over the world, mostly wandering knights, and their equipment was uneven.

"Dare, Your Majesty!" shouted the knights in unison, their voices full of excitement.

"Knightly competitions, a long-standing, glorious tradition of the Empire. On the occasion of the centenary of the Empire, I, the rightful heir of the great Kingdom of Güsselvies, the undefeated Rhodes Empire, the great Emperor Auguste Rudolf, hereby declare: The jackpot of this championship is 1 million Reichsmarks!" As soon as his words fell, the stands exclaimed, "And, the most beautiful Madame Fernand in Thundercastle!"

Olaf slapped his face: "Oh shit, that's the number one for the best brothel in the business district." Why don't I become a knight? Be a champion and get money and a beautiful woman?"

The spectators in the stands, the knights, went crazy, as if everyone could get the reward.

"For the sake of your life, I suggest you come to mine with me. Parker Bloom quipped.

When the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Krauser Wiggins, heard His Majesty the Emperor's words, his face turned pale: "Good boy! 1 million Reichsmarks ......"

The first is a one-on-one game for the Cavaliers, each drawing lots and choosing an opponent.

The first game was a knight in the province of Meno against the Golden Knight, he dodged the opponent's spear, turned his body slightly, after the opponent turned around, a blow knocked him off the horse, the two sides reached the ground, threw down the spear, the Golden Knight took out a blunt sword, the Knight of Meno also took out a blunt sword to find the gap, hit hard, the helmet of the Golden Knight was smashed into a huge pit, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

There was no suspense in the second game, the Imperial Royal Knight dragged an unknown wandering knight from the saddle like a chicken, and the skinny wandering knight threw away his spear and raised his hand in surrender.

In this way, the game continued until the 12th game, and those who were defeated in one-on-one matches were concentrated in the bounty section of the venue, just waiting for the winner to claim the bounty. If the loser has no money, he can only use his weapons and equipment as collateral, but in this way, because he has no equipment, he can only give up the team battle later, and some of those who are injured in the one-on-one competition will be paid by their families and automatically withdraw from the later games.

Olaf said to several ministers: "Hey, today I think I'm lucky, do you want to make a bet and play a few games?"

"Are you sure you can afford to gamble?" Sebastian asked worriedly, "don't lose all of your money for next year." ”

Olaf smiled: "I like to fight big with small the most." I'll just bet on ...... on the man. ”

Sebastian followed the direction of Olaf's finger and saw a tall man, his armor could be described as broken copper and iron, the helmet was round, and there was a small pit in it,

The chain mail on the chest is gray and dark, with only a belt tied around the waist, and the hand guards are brown leather armor, without throat armor and knee guards.

"Hey, hey, I think you're giving up on yourself. Dio Vinscat took out a piece of paper, "I'll bet 100 Reichsmarks on his opponent to win." ”

In the thirteenth game, the Iron Knight rode a brown horse and held a spear, and he fought against the Golden Knight from the Orlando Province.

"Hurry up and place your bets, I can't wait to collect the money. Olaf tugged at his clothes and said, "I should wear a bigger robe, like the fat man's head, or I won't be able to hold the money." ”

"I'm betting 100 Reichsmarks, I'm with Dior. "The master craftsman, Philippe Walzer, put 100 Reichsmarks into a cloth bag and threw them on a silver platter in the middle of the crowd, which was the temporary prize pool.

Vincent von Lübeck walked in unexpectedly and threw out 100 Reichsmarks: "I'm with me, I'm with ...... Olaf. ”
