Chapter 40 391

Claude drove the carriage and walked to the venue of the knight's competition. In this era of precariousness, the knightly class, which is the main military support of the empire, will always be a respected profession, so every knight competition has always been one of the important programs in the autumn harvest festival.

The unwilling wandering knight showed his strength and courage in the competition, in order to be favored by a certain adult, so as to truly enter the aristocratic class. And in Britannia, where martial arts are prevalent, civilians can also get great spiritual satisfaction in the bloody battles of the knights.

For these reasons, such a well-regarded event could not accommodate enthusiastic people, even in the wide streets of Rennes. As a last resort, Rennes' knightly competitions have always been chosen outside the city.

The horses' hooves trampled on the bluestone-paved pavement, making a brisk clattering sound. Sinloth and Mariana leaned together and whispered, Nanorka looked at her magic notes in a daze, and only the brave Miss Ellie wrinkled her bun face, looking extremely distressed.

Wow, you can't beat it......

……

Although he had arrived in a carriage, Sinlos had clearly underestimated the enthusiasm of the people who had come to watch the knights' tournament. When the carriage arrived at the venue, Sinlos was surprised to find that the perimeter of the venue had been surrounded by enthusiastic people.

As far as the earl could see, he could only vaguely see a dozen knights galloping on horseback. From time to time, the knights will also perform superb equestrian skills, which attracts bursts of cheers from onlookers.

"They're inspecting the venue...... It's really hilarious. ”

Mariana sighed softly, if she hadn't chosen to marry Sinloth, then she would have been a member of the knights' gallop in the arena, and with her strength as a sunday knight, she should easily become the champion knight of this class - but then again, if she hadn't come to Sinloth's side and filled that empty heart. How can the realm that has been trapped for many years be directly promoted from starlight to sunshine?

Between a drink and a peck, even Mariana herself couldn't say that she should feel happy and regretful. She got the man she loved the most in her life, but she abandoned her ideals because of it...... No, she is happy.

Being by Xinluos's side is already the greatest happiness in her life. Mariana stroked her belly, her eyes becoming more and more tender.

Lelouch, my dreams will be handed over to you in the future.

"Well, it's really lively." Sinloth echoed his wife, and then instructed Claude outside the carriage, "There are too many people, so we won't go out." Claude, you go and sign up. ”

"Yes, sir."

The calm butler replied softly, and then jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the registration office. Hearing the housekeeper's voice, the distressed little girl held her two golden ponytails, and the girl puffed up her bun face, and her small mouth was raised high.

"Ellie hates her dad the most!"

Xinluos, who was showing affection to his wife, was suddenly hit by a critical blow, and the earl, who was inexplicably lying on the gun, really didn't know where he had made his daughter angry. Xinluos, whose heart was like a knife, covered his chest, and only felt that the world was spinning in front of him.

Hated by Ellie, hated by Ellie, hated by Ellie......

……

It's all Dad's fault!

If he hadn't bought maltose to feed Ellie, poor maltose wouldn't have been snatched away by that woman. If it weren't for the event he proposed, Ellie would have been happy at home with Christina...... Even if Christina is dragged out by Madame Rosa, she can still play with Tirpitz!

It's all Daddy's fault!

The arrogant and unreasonable little girl blamed all the mistakes on her father's head, but the same bitter father didn't know what was wrong - to no avail of hard thinking, Cynroth touched his pocket, pulled out a few honey candy, and wanted to touch and pat and feed his daughter as before.

I don't know what went wrong, but I think it can be deflated, right?

Who knew that the tried and tested trick didn't work this time, Ellie looked at the honey candy in her father's hand and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. However, instead of being hit directly like before, she made a big grimace at Daddy, and then turned her head away, leaving only a golden back of his head for Daddy.

"Huhu, it's like this again, Ellie is not a child!"

"Huh."

Cynroth grimaced, his hand holding the honey candy dangling in the air. Looking at the funny performance of the father and daughter, Mariana couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

Nanoka raised her head and looked at the strange three people in front of her in confusion.

……

Claude's movements were fast, and after a short time, the black-clad butler returned with a wooden sign representing the number.

"No. 682...... There are a lot of people. ”

For some reason, Sinloth instantly remembered the lazy little lizard at home. Speaking of which, it's a bit weird to give a lizard such a name, but ......

Xinlos shook his head, throwing away the distractions in his heart, he looked over and over again, and found that it was really just an ordinary wooden sign, which was only hung on Ellie's snow-white neck - it was supposed to be hung on his hand, but there was no way, Ellie Girl's body was too small compared to those five big and three thick strong men.

Ellie lowered her head and poked the sign around her neck curiously. The size of the sign was a bit large, and it even squeezed aside the apostolic cross on the side. Fortunately, the sign itself is not heavy, but it does not affect her actions.

"This time, because of the Norman invasion, many wandering knights felt that this was a good opportunity to show their talents, so they all signed up. Even if a batch of obviously unqualified ones were eliminated in advance, the number of people was still close to 700, which was already the largest number in the past years. One day is never enough, and the tournament will take about three days...... As for Miss's opponent, I have already discussed it with the organizers. ”

"Hmm."

For an event like the Knight Tournament that can be in the limelight, in addition to those down-and-out wandering knights, there are also many gentlemen who will also be mixed in - although because of the social circle, Xinluo has never seen the legendary rich second generation and the second generation of the right who are specially used to slap the face of the protagonist, but in every slightly older family, there is actually no shortage of them.

Because of the long-term existence of these gentlemen, the officials of the Governor's Mansion have accumulated countless experience in how to deal with them. The daughter of the Earl's family wants to participate in the competition, and her father is a friend of Prince Lou, so the officials of the Doge's Palace will know what to do.

Ellie will defeat a few weak opponents, and then there will be a knight who looks strong and defeats her in the gentlest and decent way. For the little young master who has read too many knight novels and wants to participate in this kind of event as soon as his head is hot, they have dealt with too much, but it is very rare for a young lady like Ellie to be seen.

But it's not a big deal, at most it's lighter.

Uh-huh, Sinloth's script is like that.

As for the question of whether Ellie can successfully advance on her own - this is not a very funny joke, although Ellie's magic power has indeed reached the level of a high-level magician, but now it is a knight competition. And even if she disguised herself with a power guide, the little fool's tragic magic control power ......

In this knight competition, it made Xinluo very satisfied that she could gain some knowledge, after all, the feelings of the in-person participants and the onlookers were not the same.

Thinking of this, Xinluo habitually touched her daughter's head, but the ignorant little fool seemed to be angry, she stuck out her tongue at her father, and turned her little head again.

Oops, it looks like I'm really angry this time.

……

Ellie signed up late, so correspondingly, there was still a long time for her turn - Xinloth looked up at the sky, which was enough for Xinlos to equip his daughter with a whole outfit.

The Count took off his Soundnest robe and draped it over his daughter. Although this magical item was damaged in every battle, and it was torn into strips of cloth during the battle with Scourge Dream, it took Mariana and Andiel a lot of effort to put it back together.

But this does not mean that the defense of the Sound Nest Robe is weak, but it reflects the strength of the Sound Nest Robe - the opponents of Sinloth have never been normal.

To survive such an extreme battle is enough to see how extraordinary this battle suit is. Although it appears to be cloth, it provides its owner with heavy armor defenses. Having worn it for so long, no one knows its power better than Sinloth.

And after being repaired by Madame Van Zhuo and re-enchanted by Andiel, this magical equipment has finally regained its former brilliance.

Let's hope it will continue to shelter his daughter as it did when it sheltered him.

With a smirk, Cynroth fetched a few ropes and tightened the robes that were too wide for Ellie. Under the Count's repeated actions, the originally wide robe has completely turned into a tight-fitting battle robe, and there is no obstacle between Ellie's actions.

The little one's anger seemed to have almost disappeared, and after putting aside the initial irritation, the little girl, who was naturally fond of boisterousness, had fallen into a wonderful excitement and nervousness. She clasped her hands to her chest and looked at her parents with little stars twinkling in her big eyes.

"In that case, is Ellie already a powerful knight?"

"Hmm...... Not almost. ”

Because of the special nature of the Legendary Whip, Ellie can condense it into a knight's spear and use it, but she doesn't have to look for another spear. And with Ellie's strength, she probably couldn't lift the knight's shield, so she simply gave up, and handed it all over to the sound nest robe that wrapped her whole body to defend - because of the existence of the sound nest robe, even the armor could be omitted.

The experienced knights, coupled with the protection of the Sound Nest robes, are enough to give Ellie peace of mind. But as if it wasn't enough, Mariana actually put the shadowless sword in Ellie's waist. Although Ellie is not the owner of the Shadowless Sword, she is not able to exert its true power. But when it matters most, Mariana can also protect her stepdaughter by remotely controlling the small amount of rage stored in the Shadowless Sword.

"Where's your mount, Ellie Knight?"

Mariana dragged out her voice, looked at the little guy in front of her, who was fully armed and eager to try, and made a little joke on her stepdaughter.

As the capital of Britannia, Rennes' knightly tournaments are more expensive, but the restrictions are far stricter than in other regions.

Although iron weapon heads are still not allowed, knights are not forced to use lances and full-body armor to engage in the purest knightly duels. But Wren stipulates that all knights must fight on mounts!

At least until the battle heats up, it must be on the mount - not that foot combat is not allowed, but that the knight must be allowed to show off his riding skills in front of everyone.

As a young man, Governor Allen seemed to be so obsessed with the might of the heavy cavalry that he made this rule - the governor did not want his knights to be mere warriors on foot. And even now, this rule is still in place.

Anyway, looking at Ellie's ten-year-old size, it is estimated that no one will expect her to win. If you lose, you lose, but if you don't even have a mount...... But there's still plenty of time, and there's still time for Sinloth to get a docile pony.

It's just that Ellie seems to have a better idea than a strange pony. I saw Ellie stuff her little paw into her mouth and whistle loudly.

Soon after, a husky with a thick silly aura emerged from the crowd. The husky stuck out his tongue, skillfully lay down in front of Ellie, turned out his belly, and sold cuteness familiarly.

"Hehe, Cai Te, don't make trouble...... Daddy, I'll just ride Zet! ”

“……”

Sinloth looked at Zeat's attributes, and then at his smiling daughter. In the end, he still didn't refuse, he weakly held his forehead and waved his hand.

“…… Whatever you want. ”

Since coming to this world, Sinloth's already low discipline value has been declining. It's not that he's ashamed of his daughter's dog-riding, but because of the camel rider and elephant cavalry, knighthood isn't limited to mount races. But......

[Primate Killer (Juvenile): A fierce beast in Chaos, a juvenile body of a primate killer. Even in the chaotic age of the former, its power and madness were equally formidable. Because it deals lethal crushing damage to humanoids and primates when fighting, any primate must be extremely cautious when fighting it. 】

Although the husky has known for a long time that it has this trait, when it really awakens, Cynroth is still a little surprised.

I always feel like something is going to happen in this knight competition.
