Chapter 130: A Successful Ending

The Ottomans were coming, and the atmosphere in the stands immediately became tense.

Poland and Hungary have paid a terrible price in their wars against the infidels.

Tsepes's reasons are irrefutable, and even if he announced the cancellation of the 'final', it would be completely understandable, let alone just compressing the schedule.

The guests dispersed, and Easter in Julian 1448 seemed to be overshadowed.

……

The next day, the whole city is immersed in an atmosphere of joy, and Easter symbolizes rebirth and hope.

Civilians who don't know that war is coming, look forward to the future, and their lives can get better and better.

Compared with the enthusiastic smiling faces of the civilians on the streets and alleys, the atmosphere of the Basarab Racecourse is obviously much more depressing.

On the wide track, more than 30 beautiful girls are performing traditional Wallachian dances.

However, the audience's mind is not on them at all, and they are all expressionless like sculptures.

Moreover, in this era of religious pressure, the program is subject to many restrictions, and it is indeed difficult to attract people's attention.

In the afternoon, the 'final' began, which made the guests interested.

Watching the game, it's been a week and everyone wants to know the final result.

Before the horse races, two waiters carry a table to the front of the stands.

On the table, there was an object more than thirty centimeters high, covered with soft red velvet.

Although covered in velvet, it is not difficult for one to guess what is placed on it.

At this moment, Tsepeš came down from the stands and walked to the table.

At the same time, on both sides of the stands, the sound of French horns was heard.

Horses are numbered, 'Crossbow', 'Red Dragon'......

Ten horses in front of Cepes, facing many VIPs, lined up in front of the stands.

Tsepes's eyes swept around, and he did not speak, but with his right hand, he grabbed the corner of the velvet and threw it vigorously into the sky.

The velvet flew to the side, and the 'Grand Duke of the Dragon' Trophy showed its true face, giving everyone present a great sense of impact.

A dragon, a western dragon, with its head high and its gaping mouth, was spewing golden flames outward.

The majesty and tyranny in his eyes make people feel the urge to surrender even if they know it's fake.

"The Grand Duke of the Dragon" will continue to be held, and the scale will become larger and larger, until the influence covers the entire European continent.

To this end, Cepes spent a lot of money to create the Grand Duke of the Dragon Trophy, and judging by the effect on the spot, his strategy was successful.

The 6.7-kilogram pure gold trophy, with the addition of materials and handwork, costs 3,000 gold coins, and the added value will far exceed the cost.

Amid the crowd's exclamations, Cepes lifted the trophy and looked at the crowd of guests in the stands, then turned to Charizard to look coldly at the horses and jockeys.

"Whoever wins the championship, the trophy is his."

Needless to say, people's hot eyes are enough to show their desire for trophies.

Putting the trophy back on the table and turning back to the stands, the restlessness of the guests was not over.

"The trophy is so magnificent, next year, I will buy two good horses and fight for the trophy!"

"Count Mick, if your 'Red Dragon' wins the championship, don't forget our previous agreement."

……

After a while, someone reacted and couldn't help but raise their voices and shouted:

"Why didn't the betting board come up, forgot!?"

At this time, people who were shocked by the trophy realized that the final was missing an important part of betting.

Of course, it was not that Tsepes had forgotten, but that was how it was designed.

The final is a pure competition.

In addition, this can also effectively avoid the excessive concentration of horse racing tickets.

You know, in the final competition, there will be many people, stud lose all the chips in their hands.

It is equivalent to concentrating the amount of chips in the hands of the winner of the last game.

The winner will not leave Wallachia with a race ticket, nor will he accept a debt swap, and the racecourse will have to pay real money.

Over the course of a week, the racecourse issued a total of 1 million gold coins in credit.

Among them, about 100,000 were returned in advance, and nearly 500,000 were obtained by the racecourse.

In other words, there are more than 400,000 horse racing tickets, scattered among the guests.

The more tickets are collected, the more coins will be exchanged at the racecourse.

Conversely, the more spread the chips, the less gold you will cash out, which can be offset with debt.

Tsepes couldn't come up with hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but he planned well enough to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to redeem the horse racing tickets.

In the stands, questions were constantly raised, and it took a while for Cepes to give answers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final of the Grand Duke of the Dragon Cup is in memory of my deceased father.

Out of respect for my father, there is no entertainment in this show, so please be considerate. ”

This reason is enough to gag everyone's mouths, and those who want to pass the last game can only reluctantly put away the horse racing tickets.

There was no betting session, and the race went very fast, about five or six minutes, and the ten horses were ready.

Shots rang out, horses were slaughtered, and the familiar scene was played out again.

After one lap, Little Candy took the lead for the time being, with Red Dragon relegating to second.

The 'Female Knight' didn't get back to her best physical condition, and Amanda couldn't bear to let it get overdrawn, so her results hovered between sixth and seventh place.

As for the fat man and his 'black dragon', he failed to perform a miracle again, and was thrown far behind by the horse in front of him, and he was the first to last.

Two minutes later, the first "Dragon Grand Duke Cup" still has the last 300 meters left.

Because there was no gambling session, the shouting in the stands was not as enthusiastic as the previous two days, but there were still many people shouting for the horses they supported.

"Rose Nightingale! Come on! "Count Sandria, shouted with all the strength of the milk.

"Red Dragon, swallow them!"

"Red Dragon, rush!"

The small group led by the Marquis of Deyo and the Earl of Joe Meek frantically cheered for the 'Red Dragon'.

The last 100 meters, the last 50 meters, the last 20 meters, cross the finish line......

A tall Oldenburg horse, the first to cross the finish line, the first "Dragon Grand Duke Cup" winner, belongs to the 'crossbow', belongs to the cypriot knight.

In an instant, there were countless sighs and insults from the stands, and the Saipu Knight and his beloved horse seemed to have few supporters.

It is not difficult to understand how it is possible for a knight to be just a knight, a high-ranking nobleman who is high.

Similarly, an Oldenburg horse with a mid-range price is nowhere near as sought after by those of the most prestigious breeds.

The dust has settled, and it has been proven that even if the status is not noble enough, there is still a chance and ability to make a splash.

Of course, you don't have to be too harsh, to make it to the finals, ten horses are good enough, even the 'Black Dragon' at the bottom.

"The Dragon's Cup" ended successfully, and Cepes's performance was not over yet.

He had promised Duke Daan that he would cheating Lloyd Dyer hard, and it was time to fulfill his promise.
