Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trial of the Competition
On this day, the city of San Drawan suddenly came alive. Under the hype of well-intentioned people, this competition, which was originally not suspenseful, suddenly became lively. Yesterday's clash is now known to the whole city, and it is becoming more and more exaggerated, and even many people think that Linton and Baial are really masters at the same level, maybe there will be a fight in this game or something. Originally, the competition only attracted some people who wanted to see the style of the Golden Phoenix Flower Knight, but now, more people want to come and see the excitement.
When it was almost time for the competition, the city was suddenly empty. And the martial arts arena in the north of the city has become crowded at this time. This lively situation was obviously not even expected by the emperor, but he quickly sent more people to maintain law and order. Originally, there was no admission fee to watch the martial arts trial, after all, it was just a public execution, but in the current situation, there are also people who are willing to spend money to buy seats, which shows how many people come.
The time of the contest was at noon, but in the morning, someone came here to occupy a place, and for a while it was like a festival, and it felt like it had lost the original meaning of judgment. Anyway, the time was quickly approaching noon, and with the appearance of a team of royal guards, the originally lively martial arts arena suddenly quieted down, yes, the emperor was about to appear.
Wigley. Luca. Adele Ben. Garson, the twelfth emperor of the Holy Empire of Ilan. This Emperor Wigley is a relatively good emperor in the hearts of the people, so everyone still respects His Majesty very much, so seeing him present, the people also spontaneously quieted down.
In addition to His Majesty the Emperor, there were many other members of the royal family, Empress Antina, the eldest princess Fula, and the third princess Yalan. The people didn't expect that so many members of the royal family would be present at this trial, but it was not surprising to think that this matter involved the injury of the eldest prince after all.
Of course, in addition to the matter of the eldest prince, there is one more thing that the people do not know. The main reason why Emperor Wigley and Empress Antina came was to see Linton, and the reason was naturally the third princess. Yes, according to the agreement, after the third princess went back, she naturally said that she met true love and made a private decision for life or something. Emperor Wigley was unsurprisingly furious, but before he could say anything, the matter of the demonic beast attacking and injuring the eldest prince followed.
In the next few days, Emperor Wigley did not mention Linton, but said that he would attend the competition, and it seems that he also knew about Linton's participation in the competition. Princess Yalan felt that the reason why her father didn't mention this matter was probably because he thought that Linton was half a dead man, and there was no need to mention it if he died in a martial arts trial, right?
In this regard, Princess Arran can only pray that Linton will not make too much of a fuss. Yes, she had a blind premonition, although the opposite side was a very famous knight, but Princess Arran felt that Linton could still win, after all, she knew Linton's actual situation, and she must have confidence in Linton after seeing such a battle. However, this guy always likes to make trouble, and Princess Yalan knows it very well.
"I hope I can listen to my previous advice and don't use psychic magic." Princess Yalan thought to herself, if her identity was revealed in this case, it would be very bad.
"Worried about him?" While Princess Arran was praying, a voice came from beside her. Princess Arlan turned her head, and the person who spoke was her sister, Princess Flora. Princess Fula looks very similar to Yalan, but she inherited her father's golden hair, which is a little different from Yalan's sea blue hair, of course, because she is older, her temperament is also a little different, but both of them are very beautiful. She has a good relationship with Yalan, and she didn't have to come over this time, probably because she also wanted to see her sister's "sweetheart", so she came here on purpose.
"yes." Princess Yalan nodded, indeed worried, but not worried about him.
"This guy you fancy is a troublemaker, he just came here and made such a big deal." Princess Fura said, "But standing on the stage for the sake of her family, she can be regarded as a responsible person, so I hope I can survive." ”
"......" Princess Yalan didn't know what to say.
"Why don't I send someone to secretly say hello to the Golden Phoenix Flower Knight and let him spare his life?" Princess Fura asked.
"Sister, no, I believe him." Princess Arran said.
"Really? The Golden Phoenix Flower Knight is at the peak level of a nine-star swordsman, and he is about to be promoted to the holy level one step, which is no joke. Princess Fura said with some surprise.
"Big ...... Probably. "Princess Yalan doesn't know Linton's true strength very well, but with the phantom beast as a comparison, Princess Yalan thinks it should be fine, but it is mainly a matter of spiritual magic.
"You're a little scared of me, this guy has a nine-star level?" Princess Fura got serious, if Linton really had a nine-star level, it would be a national treasure, after all, where was the age.
"I'm not sure, but I believe him." That's all Princess Arlan can say.
"That's it." Fura probably understood, is there something in this lover's eyes? I didn't expect my sister to like this guy quite deeply, she really didn't believe that Linton really had a nine-star level.
"That kid, it's really weird." At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind them, and the two princesses turned their heads and found that it was their master, the court mage chief Lifa, who had come over.
"Teacher, you're also coming to see the competition?" Princess Fura said in surprise.
"Come and see this kid." Lifa said.
"Teacher, do you know him?" Fura asked.
"This kid deceived my master for a while." Lifa gritted her teeth and said, "Now I live in my master's mansion, and I say that I am teaching my master strange magic." This guy hates hatefully, and my teeth itch every time. ”
"Strange magic?" Princess Arlan was startled, could it be spiritual magic.
"What kind of doppelganger technique or something, anyway, my master thinks it's interesting." Lifa said.
"Archmage Kotviko?" Fura was a little surprised, "That's a bit of a curiosity. ”
"I always think it's crooked." Lifa said, "I'm not interested in it anyway, as my disciples, don't care about those strange magic, just learn what I teach." ”
"Yes, Master." The two princesses both nodded, and Yalan also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not spiritual magic.
While a few people were talking, the trial below officially began. First of all, a jury led by a bishop took their seats in a makeshift courtroom set up next to the jousting arena, and soon the plaintiff and the defendant were brought out. The plaintiff is naturally Klose, and this trial is still conducted in his name, although the trial knight is not appointed by him, but it still has nothing to do with the royal family. And the defendant, naturally, is Gasein.
"Holy Spirit above, I, Cardinal Duma of the Holy Empire of Ilan. In the name of the Holy Church, Meglion presided over this holy judgment. The bishop on the throne stood up and read the scriptures, and then announced the beginning of the judgment. First, a priest next to him briefly recounted the crimes of which Gaseen was charged, and then began to question the accused.
"Garsein. Merlowe, do you admit to these crimes? Meghrien asked.
"I deny it, I'm not guilty, I have nothing to do with this incident." "I am applying for a sacred jousting trial. ”
"Hmm." In fact, this matter has been decided a long time ago, and the on-site inquiry is just a formality. Megrien also nodded after hearing this, "In that case, in the name of the Holy Church, I implore the Holy Spirit to adjudicate on this crime and agree to a trial by force. ”
After the announcement of Bishop Megrien, the trial of the joust was conducted in the presence of the Church, which was considered to have legal effect. In short, after the general opening of the ceremony, the staff of the martial arts arena also took over the situation, and a host quickly came to the stage and said: "There are two agents invited to the stage." First of all, this one in the East District, this time as the agent of the Holy Spirit, the trial knight of the trial, the Golden Phoenix Flower Knight Xiao. Baial. ”
The stadium erupted in amazing cheers, and most of the crowd came to see the legendary knight. And Byaal's appearance did not disappoint them, as the agent of the Holy Spirit, today's Byaal is not only wearing his very beautiful armor, but also wrapped in a layer of white and gold silk robes, and the whole person feels like exuding a holy radiance. This is probably the first image that comes to mind when everyone mentions the word "knight".
"The West Side, who is the defendant's agent, is from the Merlowe family, Linton. Merlowe. The moderator continued.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, a young man less than twenty years old walked out with the steps of his six relatives who did not recognize him, what does this say...... Why does it feel like he has the word "arrogant" written on his head?
"Hey, why don't you give me my nickname." Linton came up and yelled at the host.
"Nickname? This ......" The host was also stunned, "Then Your Excellency's nickname is ......"
"I am Linton, who is known as 'Killing Marco with one punch', this kind of well-known nickname, I will remember it in the future." Linton said.
The corners of the host's mouth twitched directly, what the hell is a nickname, who is this Marko, why is it so miserable, and he is still being used as a nickname.
In the stands, Princess Yalan covered her face directly, although she also knew what kind of urine Linton was, but don't come like this at the beginning. looked at Princess Fula next to her, and sure enough, she was looking at herself with a smile on her face.
"Sister, your tastes are getting more and more special." Princess Fura said.
"Let me be quiet."
On the martial arts field, the host seemed to be a little unbearable with Linton, so he hurriedly said: "Anyway, both of you are ready, without further ado......"
"Wait." Linton suddenly shouted, "Can I say a few words?" ”
