Out of the castle, Roy and his dog quickly descended the slope of the waterfall, crossed a canyon, and walked left and right in the jungle to walk up a hillside. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

It was noon, and in the warm sun, hundreds of cavalry, infantry, and civilian hunters loomed on the hills, men roared and neighed, and hounds jumped up and down, forming a huge encirclement, driving away wild beasts and demonic beasts.

But Roy turned his head to look to the other side. Over there, apparently, there is also an encirclement. The soldiers and civilians on the hill shouted and beat the drums to make all kinds of noise.

The two encirclements were seen occupying a hill each while driving away their prey. No need to ask Roy to understand, this means that the boring nobles have started to bet on the final competition for prey points in circle hunting.

In the continent of Avalon, hunting was the most common pastime in the life of the nobility.

Unlike mercenaries and hunters, they hunt and kill monsters or beasts for a living, and they don't need the fur magic stones of these low-level monsters to sell for money. Therefore, they will only take it seriously when hunting high-level magical beasts, and when facing low-level prey, the best way to maintain interest is to gamble.

Generally speaking, the gambling amount of the minor nobles is probably between one hundred and five hundred gold lulangs. Gambling among the great nobles, on the other hand, rarely used money. A more common way to bet is to each come up with a precious and rare treasure.

Roy looked into the distance. The dirt road winds from the castle, through a wheat field, into the jungle, and finally turns down the hill and heads east.

And on the flat ground of the mountainside with the corners upward, a large number of servants, commoners and knights and nobles, had already begun to make preparations for hunting.

There, exactly, the confluence of the two encirclements!

Roy scratched his head, a little excited.

Usually in such gambling, the person who takes the most credit is rewarded with one to five percent of the gambling amount.

When I was wandering, I once heard that a hunter had been one of the richest men in the village from a poor man to one of the richest men in the village after his last arrow hit a great spotted elk and was rewarded with three hundred gold coins for helping one of them narrowly defeat his opponent.

And at the moment, judging by the traces left by the berserk bear, it should have entered the encirclement.

Don't think about hunting alone, if you can join in and get a reward, you may be able to buy the [magic camel] skin that you have already helped your grandfather see.

With that baby, grandpa will not have a leg ache when he sits in the cabin.

Roy pondered in his heart.

Although a gamble of tens of thousands of gold coins is unattainable, he can judge that this time will not be too small.

You must know that although Borabel City is not large, it is a port city with prosperous trade, and the baron's family has ruled here for sixty years, so the accumulation is naturally quite rich.

Baron Brian's fortune is about 50,000 gold lolangs. Of course, this includes a large amount of real estate. If you count only cash, it is a total of 16,342 golden langs.

This was the number that Roy had deduced from the ledgers that the Baroness had given him.

And Matthew, the heir of Viscount Wenger, who is far more generous than Baron Brian, and the regional bishops of the three surrounding territories, have more property than a small landowner like Baron Brian, I am afraid that the amount of property is one or two times more.

And Her Royal Highness the princess, not to mention.

Roy's gaze fell on a figure in a coffee-colored leather hunting suit.

The servants with their horses around, the servants who were busy preparing their seats and drinking food, and the knights who were rushing to and fro for a drink all disappeared because of the appearance of this figure.

This time, she didn't carry her veil.

Obviously, when she met her before, she was hanging out in private with the female swordsman, and without the guards of the knights, it was wise to wear a veil.

And when she regains her identity, she naturally doesn't need to hide her face.

Roy took a deep breath. This opportunity cannot be missed.

If the girl is really Princess Eretia, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to touch her if I miss today. The gap in identity, the distance in space, the knights guarding her, the nobles around her, and the deep palace are like moats, blocking between herself and her.

Thinking of the royal coat of arms on the carriage, thinking of the pretty face that turned all beings upside down, and thinking of the genius knight Augustus, who was already destined to become the husband of the princess in everyone's eyes, Roy really hoped that this beautiful girl was just an ordinary commoner who happened to be as beautiful as the princess and happened to borrow the royal carriage.

Roy turned the hill and walked quickly towards the place where the nobles had gathered.

A moment later, he had followed the mountain forest to the edge of the clearing where the knights had gathered

Susan didn't like the city of Porabel at all.

A small town by the sea, humble and chaotic, the whole city is filled with the smell of fish.

However, Her Royal Highness Ellethia listened to the recommendation of Matthew, the heir of the Viscount Wenger family, and regarded this place as the last stop of her trip.

In two days, they will board the three-masted warship sent by the Imperial Southern Fleet from here, and head north along the coastline to return to the imperial capital. Spending two days here before leaving was a source of great frustration for Susan.

In the eyes of these rich landowners in the south, Pollabel may be regarded as a beautiful place. But for Susan, who had already traveled the eastern seas of the empire at the age of eighteen, there was really nothing to see in this small city.

The most beautiful sea in the empire is the province of Corsica.

Compared to there, Bollabel is like a small fishing village that is too dirty to even stick your feet in!

The beautiful swordswoman pulled Princess Eretia to a place far away from the rich people of the south, and every cell in her body felt that this trip was simply terrible!

Since the princess set off from the imperial capital, the Pope of the St. Solan Empire has sent five knights of the Knights of the Zentang Church and a priest of the [Deacon] rank to follow her in the name of protecting the princess.

In addition, Augustus, the genius knight who was regarded as the future heir of the Templar Order, also sent two three-star [armed knights] and a four-star [brave knight] to protect Princess Eretia as his fiancé.

Along the way, he and the princess were bound by these nasty guys.

The old deacon, with a floppy hat and a black, silver-rimmed robe, had a straight face, and the mantra in his mouth was that he could not go except here, that is, he could not go there.

The itinerary was completely under their control, and even the captain of the princess's guard, [Hugo], was excluded by these people.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a third-level [Langxing Mage] Lady Ellen beside the princess who made the old nun and a few maids who were sent to "serve" the princess a little jealous, I'm afraid that they would even ask what the princess eats and what time she goes to bed.

Susan puffed up. The undulating chest makes her look even hotter and more charming in a tight swordsman suit.

The eyes of many soldiers and knights involuntarily swirled up and down her slender and powerful waist, straight buttocks, and slender and straight legs.

Among them, the most blazing is Lord Matthew of Wenger.

Deliberately ignoring the gazes of Matthew and the other young knights, Susan turned to look at Elethea.

Wearing a hunting suit, Eretia was watching the scenery in the distance with her beautiful eyes. From time to time, look at the people on both sides of the hills who are driving away the wild beasts.

Susan was a little discouraged for a moment.

Compared to this girl who is seven years younger than herself, she seems to be even more composed.

Along the way, several times, I saw Eretia hiding alone in the room, hugging her knees and wiping her tears. But in front of people, she is always so calm, elegant, and gentle.

If she had changed her identity, she wouldn't have been so submissive, and she would have already "clicked" those damn nuns and lowly maids who dared to ignore her face-to-face and cold-eyed and bitterly said that the princess had "frivolous manners and no princess appearance"!

Even if the royal power is sluggish now, it will not be the turn of these cheap things to abuse.

was indignant, but saw Hugo, the captain of the princess's bodyguard, coming over.

Although Susan had little contact with the little flag commander of the Royal Knights, who was also a three-star [Brave Knight], she knew that Hugo had a calm and thick personality, gentle and polite, and never blushed with people.

And now Susan saw that Hugo, who was striding forward, had a face full of anger.

What's wrong, didn't he negotiate a hunting bet with those guys?

The princess was not interested in such a thing, but she was forced by the strong advice of those guys and was unwilling to spoil the fun, so she agreed to come down and let Hugo discuss it with them.

Seeing Hugo coming over, Susan asked with a sloppy face, "Did they ask for something excessive?"

Hugo looked at Eretia, who also turned her head, and the princess's personal maid, who came up from the side, Lady Ellen, and sighed for a long time before saying, "They want my horse!"

"Xiongshan?"

Susan and Lady Ellen sank their faces at once, and even Eretia frowned.

Hugo's status in the Royal Knights was not high.

As the squad flag leader of the Royal Knights, Hugo's squad consisted of only eight knights.

Although the number of such knights is already about the same as that of a relatively wealthy baron, Hugo himself is not a baron and does not have a fief. On weekdays in the imperial capital, he lives only on his salary.

However, when it comes to martial arts, Hugo is not lost to anyone.

He and Susan are also three-star [Brave Knights]. But Susan couldn't even take his ten moves.

Because Hugo was sincere and responsible, the princess gave him a good horse named [Xiongshan] during the journey.

Hugo, who has long wanted to save money to buy a good mount, can't put down Xiongshan, who has black fur and a strong physique, and whose impact is comparable to that of a Warcraft. I take care of my beloved horses every day, and I can't wait to eat and sleep with Xiongshan in the stable.

For this, everyone laughed at him for several days.

In terms of price, a BMW like Xiongshan is worth about 3,000 gold coins, but it is not possible to buy the same horse with money.

Besides, it's not about money.

In the east of the Avalon continent, there is a saying that a gentleman does not take the favor of others.

For a knight, there is nothing more important than his mount. A knight who loses his mount is like an eagle that loses its wings!

Mrs. Ellen said with a displeased face, "How can they make such a bet?"

Hugo gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

As the head of the princess's bodyguard, he defends not only the princess's safety, but also the royal decency.

This bet would have been made by someone else, but it was the knights of the [Knights of the Good Hall] and the four-star [Brave Knight] George of the [Knights Templar] who was domineering from the beginning!

That guy, who was here to protect the princess, was simply here to spy on the fiancée of their genius knight Augustus.

Not to mention the knightly jousting tournament that determines the fate of the princess, it is still three years later, even if Augustus has been engaged to the princess, there is no such thing.

But to these arrogant fellows of the Templar Order, no one paid attention to them except the Holy Church and themselves.

Perhaps, in George's view, the noble Augustus married a princess of the royal family who was always against the Holy See and was already crumbling, which was already a big face.

Seeing that George seemed to have won the game, Yuguo couldn't swallow this breath. As soon as my brain was hot, I agreed to it......
