Yard lay in his chair and lit a cigar worth two gold dragons.

"Actually, His Majesty has his own plan, and we nobles have already guessed it. At the beginning, many people thought that this tournament was a game of His Majesty Rennes. But now, His Majesty's attitude has become more and more obvious. ”

"Magic Tide! In fact, the nine nobles basically already knew about it. At such a time, no one can do without his own calculations. Even our family has its own ideas. I am not surprised that His Majesty will do anything. But what the old prime minister thinks, I'm curious! ”

Yard took a hard puff of his thick handmade cigar and exhaled his smoke, as if sighing at the impending turmoil.

In the past few days, although the vicinity of Ecstasy City has been boiling because of the martial arts competition, it looks like a blooming flower. But Charlotte found many times that a small group of soldiers had been sent out, and every day a large number of messengers rushed into Ecstasy City to Dun Krod Fort, where the king was located.

It seems that when the grand martial arts tournament was held in Ecstasy City, other places did not stop.

Charlotte had just been in contact with the old brother and the great poet of the Black Iron Castle. Now in the entire Daxing'an Mountain Range, all kinds of demonic beasts have frequently appeared. There are even some that the old hunters have never seen or heard of.

Some wild goblins, kobolds, ogres, trolls, gnolls and other races have also suddenly increased in strength, rapidly expanding their power in the mountains and wilderness. Hit every day!

It's even more chaotic on the other side of the realm of freedom. The Freedom Resistance Army led by the three Guo brothers has completely occupied the towns in the countryside, but because of the sudden appearance of all kinds of chaos and monsters, they have temporarily talked to the slave owners and big merchants in Budapest, and turned the focus of operations to protect more civilians.

Charlotte also heard that the Iron Throne in King's Landing had stabilized the situation, and began to test the surrounding cities.

Now several small towns around it have formed an alliance under the mediation of the church of the platinum dragon god Bahamut. They have small-scale encounters every day. The five-headed dragon queen is a menopausal shrew, so if you sprinkle it, it can't be done in one or two clicks! And his old nemesis, Bahamut, certainly couldn't see it.

The world is starting to mess up!

On the day of the harvest festival, the king of the northernmost kingdom of Fennar, the northernmost of the Three Northlanders, was assassinated during the festival, Yard said. And there was a rebellion at random.

I heard that a prince actually colluded with a cult organization and participated in the rebellion! Unlike King Wren, there are six kings in Fenner alone! It can be said that there are many children and grandchildren.

Although the usurpation plot never succeeded, the kingdom of Fenner was still in chaos.

……

It's an eventful time, and everyone wants to save themselves.

Ordinary people want to survive this great turmoil and protect their families at most. But those big aristocratic families may think more and want more.

The nobility was to be allied with each other, and His Majesty wanted to unite all the forces of the kingdom in the face of the great upheaval.

The fundamental contradiction between them lies in rights and interests......

As the spokesperson of the aristocracy, what choice should the old prime minister make at such a time?

……

There is no doubt that under the guidance of some invisible force, people's eyes are firmly locked on the foot combat competition.

For example, bows and arrows are more niche, and they are not as confrontational as foot combat, and they are very hot-blooded.

And the cavalry is even more high-end. Many people have only ridden a donkey in their lives, so they don't want to watch the game of the noble master!

The top 10 have already been selected for all three competitions.

In cavalry warfare, there is no doubt that the top ten are basically from the nobility. There is even one for each of the nine major families. The last knight was a descendant of a lonely nobleman.

There were several civilians and adventurers on the bow side. There were even people from the Ten Towns of the Northlands further north. But if you shoot around, the audience will be able to watch it strangely.

Now it seems that foot combat is more attractive.

The top 10 infantry battles are all silver-level, and they are all very strong. (Gold or something doesn't have the face to participate in such a competition, except for Charlotte)

What makes Charlotte feel very happy is that his combat power in that "Martial Arts Conference Raiders" has been mentioned to 390! And the odds have risen dramatically!

But when he bought a copy and looked at it, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet!

"What about the cheater!" Charlotte slammed the pamphlet onto the table!

Alice carefully picked it up and looked at it, "No. 66 player Charlotte, her personal strength is not very good, but she is very good at provoking her opponent, and let her use her physical strength and weapon advantage to defeat the opponent. At this time, the character is clumsy, but the weapon is very powerful, and now it has been discovered that this weapon called the shark muscle broadsword has the following abilities...... So be careful, other runners! Please also ask all of you to defeat this Northland Shame and maintain the glory of Nonaway! Poof~~~"

At the end of the reading, Alice burst out laughing!

The author of this pamphlet hated Charlotte very much, carried out all kinds of "smears", and claimed: Charlotte himself has 100 combat strength, and the rest is in weapons and mouths! He also said that Charlotte was a shame in the Northland, and called on other players to defeat Charlotte!

Charlotte was so angry that she vomited blood!

Made, I mock with my ability, why do you say that I am the tooth of the Northland? Have I eaten your rice? Return the shame of the Northland! Don't get close to me, I'm not from the Northland! The most you call me a human disgrace...... Eh, something doesn't seem right!

You'd better not let me catch you, or you'll have to taste what it's like to be a big man!"

……

Today there will be a top five match, and five winners will be selected out of 10 people. Then continue to compete until the final two are decided for tomorrow's finals!

What the? How do five people decide two winners, you ask? It's very simple, King Rennes said: one person is chosen by lot out of five, and that person must choose one of the remaining four to play, and the winner is the semi-final.

Charlotte: Why do I have a bad feeling?

The top 10 matches are no longer the kind of makeshift rings, and they are no longer five fights together. It has to be done one by one in a very solid stone ring.

Charlotte looked at the ground that had been temporarily reinforced with large bluestone, and felt that she was being targeted! At least the possibility of smashing the ring and then using the weapon advantage to win is gone!

Charlotte: Why? Why is the whole world targeting me?

Obviously, King Wren also wants to get rid of this "Shame of the Northlands"!

Charlotte walked into the ring triumphantly to the cheers of the fans, completely ignoring the raised middle fingers of the other spectators.

Later, a painter, in his later years, recalled this grand event and created a three-meter-long oil painting "The Proud Lord of Chang'an".

But then I heard that the painter was beaten on the head, and the painting was mysteriously stolen.

Charlotte's opponent is a warrior monk who uses his fists as a weapon!

There are also warrior monks who pursue secular power or power, and it is not surprising that in the Northland, the birthplace of warrior monks, there will be warrior monks participating in martial arts competitions.

"I'm sorry, I have to win this fight." The warrior monk Chachai said solemnly after saluting.

He was probably in his thirties, with a round stubble on his head and no beard. The body is a very simple cloth coat, and the straw sandals under his feet are badly worn.

Chachai was an orphan who ate hundreds of meals when he was a child, and was later accepted as a disciple by a warrior monk and taken to study in a monastery. This year, he traveled and when he returned to his hometown, he found that his hometown was attacked by many wild goblin tribes.

Although he later helped repel the wild goblins, the village's grain harvest this year was ruined, and there was almost no harvest. In this case, the villagers will not be able to survive this winter.

Chachai came to Ecstasy City to try to find a way to rescue the village. It just so happened to be a jousting tournament! The prize money in the tournament is very generous, but you have to make it to the semi-finals at least to get the money! So Chachai must beat Charlotte and advance to the semi-finals.

The Lotus Monastery, where Chachai is located, attaches great importance to the spiritual practice of the warrior monks. Obviously, Chachai's spiritual cultivation is very powerful.

Charlotte had already felt very clearly the importance of the other party's victory. The belief that "I have to win" is awe-inspiring.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that my faith would have been defeated, right?

But Charlotte was aroused!

His communication ability can feel the other party's belief very keenly, but it is precisely because of this that Charlotte does not want to admit defeat more and more.

If you are an ordinary person, you don't know why you have been affected, and your heart is weak. But since Charlotte knows the other party's firm beliefs, she will never allow her heart to be defeated without a fight!

He pulled out the shark muscle broadsword and said, "In that case, let's fight!" ”
