Chapter 455: Margaret of Violence

After the bell rang, as in previous days, a large number of people gathered in the clock square. However, unlike a few days ago, people who come to Clock Square today are not here to submit resumes, nor to visit the Clock Tower, or simply to join in the fun - today is the day when the shortlist of the Thousand Riders Audition is announced!

The time for the announcement of the list was nine o'clock in the morning, but before seven o'clock, the entire clock square was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

At nine o'clock, Margaret, the magistrate of the realm, was slowly walking to the bell tower under the escort of four Lyra patrol guards, and in her hand Margaret held a golden cloth scroll—everyone knew that the shortlist was on that golden scroll!

Sure enough, as the golden scroll was hung on the bell tower, everyone's suspicion was confirmed, and it was indeed the shortlist recorded, but what was really shocking was that there were only twenty finalists in the end!

You must know that the Viscount's Mansion had received nearly 10,000 resumes, and the elimination rate had reached 1:500! This made many people very disappointed, after all, they had rushed thousands of miles from all over the Valley of Dawn to the Holy City of Tianqin, and they must have come with the expectation of winning the lottery; now that they learned that they had lost the election, they were inevitably disappointed.

A considerable number of people are still very open to this, after all, they ask themselves whether it is strength, qualifications or wisdom, they are far inferior to Conrad, who was selected a few days ago.

But since there are those who can see it, and of course there are those who can't be seen, many awakened people immediately became indignant when they found out that there was no name on the shortlist, and some people immediately yelled dissatisfied: "Damn, I didn't even choose?!"

"That's right, I said how did you choose it? How did you only have twenty finalists? Is this looking down on us?!" In the midst of the chaos, someone quietly pointed the finger at the Viscount's Mansion, obviously intending to take the opportunity to make things bigger.

"I just want to know why I'm not on the list?!"

"That's right, I hope Lord Viscount can stand up and give us an explanation!"

……

"Quiet. ”

As the situation gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction, Margaret said lightly.

Although many people heard Margaret's voice, they didn't take this female sheriff seriously, even if she was wearing a golden heavy armor - huh, a woman can become a fierce general if she wears heavy armor?

Margaret glanced up at the bell tower on the side, and after finding that the second hand had already turned, Margaret was silent, and slowly approached a very powerful oath who was shouting, clenched her fist, and suddenly smashed her fist into the opponent's right cheek!

"Bang-"

Then, the sworn one immediately flew upside down and knocked down dozens of people in a row!

This scene shocked everyone, as if everyone's throats were suddenly choked, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Margaret in disbelief—how powerful and violent did this woman have to be, and she knocked out dozens of people with a single punch?!

"Well, it's finally quiet now. Margaret clapped her hands as if she had just been blown away by an insignificant fly.

"You, why are you beating people?!" looked like an awakened person who was the same as the sworn one who was sent away, and after recovering his senses, he couldn't help but look at Margaret angrily, but when Margaret turned his head to look at him with a blank expression, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

"Why? Just because I'm the sheriff of the Holy City of Lyra—gathering crowds to make trouble, making noise for no reason, are not allowed here. So, if you don't want to be thrown into prison by me, you'd better be quiet. Margaret said expressionlessly as she looked around at the thousands of people around her.

Seeing that no one refuted herself, Margaret smiled with satisfaction - I have to say that this iron-blooded beauty laughed really with another flavor, and many people who saw it were called a lost soul!

But if Leitch were here, he would definitely express his heartfelt silence for these people, because he remembered that Davis had inadvertently revealed that Margaret, the little girl, seemed to have a special 'sexuality' only for the two sisters......

Afterwards, everyone heard Margaret say coldly: "In addition, I have one more thing to announce - for those of you who are not shortlisted, you can still choose to join the Black Wind Knights, those with third-order strength can become a trainee knight, and those above the fourth-order can sign up to become a trainee Blackwind Knight! As long as the strength meets the conditions, there are no additional conditions!"

"The knight is servant?!"

"Knight?!"

was originally dissatisfied, but now when he heard that he still had the opportunity to become a knight servant, or even a knight, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!

But there was also a sharp voice that asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask what you mean by 'apprenticeship'?"

Hearing someone ask this, those who were in turmoil immediately calmed down a lot - the apprentice knight and the knight are obviously not the same concept!

"Apprenticeship means temporary. Margaret said lightly.

"Temporary, grandma, with Lao Tzu's strength, which territory can't be mixed into a knight? Why come here thousands of miles away to mix such a temporary knight?!" one of the sworn soldiers in the crowd immediately said loudly with great dissatisfaction.

"That's right, if it's just temporary, I won't do it!" someone immediately chimed in.

Some people made a fuss, but others chose to stand on the side of the Viscount's Palace, only to see a person in the crowd wearing a black leather armor sneering: "I say, can you listen to His Excellency the Sheriff finish his words? ”

This Nightblade may not really be trying to save the face of the Viscount's Mansion or something, but there is no doubt that he is likely to win Margaret's favor and stand out!

However, the sworn fighter who complained was obviously not the type who was good at thinking, and when he saw that the guy in black leather armor not only helped himself to speak, so as to fight for the greater good of everyone, but instead worked against himself, which immediately made him angry, only to see him glaring at the other party viciously, and scolded angrily: "You son of a bitch, you dare to scold Lao Tzu for being an idiot? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu abolished you?!"

Suddenly, out of the corner of the Pledge's eye, the man on his side seemed to be frantically avoiding the sides. What are they doing? No, is it—

Soon, the conjecture in the heart of the sworn warrior was confirmed, and only a "bang-" was heard, and the sworn one, just like the previous one, was blasted out by a punch from Margaret, who suddenly appeared at his side!

With a punch blasting the sworn warrior away, Margaret turned around expressionlessly and said lightly: "The old lady has already said before, when I don't allow you to speak, it's best to be quiet for me." Also, it is a felony to threaten someone with force on my turf. ”

"Gollum—"

Looking at the two unconscious sworn warriors lying on the ground, the corners of their eyes rolled white, many awakened people couldn't help but swallow and spat subconsciously - long ago, they had heard of the name of the Lyra Patrol, after all, it was one of the four corps composed entirely of women in the entire Blanca continent! It was a paradise that all males yearned for! However, most men secretly sneered at the combat power of the Lyra Patrol, and in their opinion, no matter how they could, they were just a group of women after all! But now it seems that their idea is quite dangerous......

However, what these people don't know is that Margaret doesn't actually belong to the Lyra Patrol system, and of course, anyone who dares to underestimate the Lyra Patrol will indeed run into great trouble!

"Although that guy just now seems to me to be an idiot, he is not wrong about one thing, with the strength of the vast majority of you present, even if you go to other territories, you are quite likely to become a knight servant, or even a knight. Hearing Margaret admit the strength of herself and the others, this made many people's faces look a lot better, especially when she understood that Margaret was a strong man and was the sheriff of the Black Wind Territory, it made many people's vanity a little satisfied.

"But," Margaret's tone turned around, causing everyone's ears to prick up at once, "believe me, no matter what territory you are in, you will not get the opportunity to become a knight or a knight as easily as you do today! ”

Hearing this, many people nodded secretly - although they all have the strength of the third order, or even the fourth order, most of them are from ordinary backgrounds, and they have not received orthodox knight training, compared with those knights who have received formal knight training since awakening, compared with the knights who have been promoted from knights to knights after countless battles, it can be said that they are not of the same rank at all!

Therefore, for those powerful knights, they would rather recruit a gifted first order than accept a third and fourth order that is almost fixed, and as for considering ordinary knights and legions, to be honest, the treatment may not be comparable to when they were mercenaries!

Therefore, when it was learned that the Black Wind Territory was openly auditioning for a thousand riders, it attracted countless people!

"Although at the beginning you were only a probationary knight and a probationary knight, but the probationary period was only six months, and after the probationary period, as long as you can pass the examination of the knights, you can be promoted to a full-fledged knight servant and knight!" Hearing that the original probationary period was only six months, many people immediately became excited, and began to be a little eager to try.

At this time, Margaret dropped a bombshell again: "Moreover, even during the probationary period, you can enjoy the same treatment as official knights and official knights!"

"As for the treatment of the Black Wind Knights, although I dare not say that it is comparable to those top knights on the continent, I will definitely not disappoint you, because the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce has gold coins - this sentence was said by the Viscount himself. Seeing Margaret tempting herself and the others with gold coins, most of the people present were not disappointed, but extremely satisfied—for these mercenaries who had long been accustomed to licking blood with knives, only tangible benefits were what they wanted to see the most, and they were by no means some blank knight's creed!

Margaret's words proved to be a great success, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the bell tower rang again, the number of people who had signed up to join the Knights of the Black Wind had reached 7,000 - 5,000 knights and 2,000 knights!

This huge number suddenly made the military strength of Starmist Valley unprecedentedly stronger!

At half past seven in the evening, a dazzling fire suddenly erupted in a room on the third floor of the Temple of Lyra, and at the same time, a large amount of black smoke rose from the room - this was Leqi's alchemy room, and the black smoke just now showed that Leqi's alchemy experiment had failed again.

Feeling a little tired, Leitch sat on the rattan chair next to the alchemy table, and then subconsciously wiped his face that had been smoked just now with his sleeve.

"Poof—"

At this moment, Leitch suddenly heard a slight laugh, and the laughter was funny and surprised.
