After many years of operation, the jousting tournament held in Fort Veralburg has become one of the most popular competitions in the Empire. Due to the strong support of the local lords (a clever way to find talents), not only did they provide excellent venues, perfect logistics services, but more importantly, the prizes for the competition were provided by the Grand Duke's private ordnance factory, so they attracted a large number www.biquge.info of masters from all over the empire and even the whole continent to participate in the competition. Masters Oswald and Krachner, who were next to Maxinus, were recruited by the Rockenhausen family at the jousting tournament.

This year, in particular, the Grand Duke offered several treasured pieces of armor as a reward for the winners, which, according to Salian, were a harbinger of the fact that Maximinus was about to develop the Pleated Dome Armor, and they no longer needed the plates of the old era. However, for those who don't know this, this prize is really attractive. Therefore, the number of contestants who came to participate in the competition this year has increased a lot, and there are many foreign visitors.

Originally, only Meyer, Anna, and Achelin participated in the competition, but Miss Schönek was infected by their warm atmosphere, and yesterday she saw Salian's skills again, and finally decided to participate. Wizards who think highly of themselves generally disdain to participate in such martial arts competitions, and they have their own way of life.

In this way, the siblings Anna and Acheline entered the competition under their real names, while Salian and Lorana Ise used fake identities. Needless to say, Miss Schönek didn't want to make her magical swordsman known, so she used the name of the female swordsman "Thales" to participate in the competition. Unable to use magic, Salian also gave him his sword, which followed the three generations of the Hohenstlingen family and was a rare sword. But naturally he can't get back what he gave out, let alone a girl, and this girl has to give birth to a child for him.

Then let's introduce the rules of the competition, the competition in Fort Veralburg is very simple, only there can be two kinds of individual riding weapons of choice and individual infantry weapons of choice, men and women are free to participate, using the upper and lower half of the elimination mode, all applicants through the lottery to determine the position, there is no avoidance principle.

While Meyer was completing their registration in the arena, two unidentified men were watching them in a VIP room at the top of the arena.

"Earl, you must kill this mercenary who is causing trouble, the last time was because of your inability to let our plan fail, His Excellency Duke is very dissatisfied!"

"Yes, my lord, I will never fail again this time!"

"That's the best, I didn't expect the Count of the Border of the New Mark Territory to come, take this opportunity to get rid of him together! The Duke's direct subordinates have lost two people before, and your meritorious opportunity has come, understand?"

"Yes, everything will be done according to the wishes of the adults!"

"Well, I'm still very optimistic about you! ”

When Meier signed up, he happened to meet Juan, a Castile sword fighter who he met at the palace of Palettinnay.

"Meyer, don't be defeated until you meet me!"

"Haha, worry about yourself!"

He was accompanied by a young man who was also wearing fat bloomers in the style of Castile. After being introduced, it turned out to be Juan's classmate, called Garcia, who looked taller and stronger than Juan, but his size doesn't tell everything, and he doesn't know what his true level is. Salian, who is full of joy and thought, is unaware of the killer opportunities he will encounter in this match.

After separating from Sallian, Garcia asks Juan about Maier's strength.

"This guy has a solid foundation, a lot of experience, and most importantly, he's very good at using his brain when he fights. By the way, why are you asking this, whether you can meet him or not, wouldn't it be better to ask again when the time comes!?"

"Oh, I recently got a deal and asked me to kill this guy. ”

"So you don't usually participate in the tournament will come this time, so if you win the championship all the way, can you give me the prize?"

After the large-scale festival parade, the tournament officially kicked off. Anna and Achelin were competing in both events, and for Anna, the prize for the riding champion, a set of Rockenhausen's finest knight's armor, was not very attractive, and she only wanted a generous prize money. Echelin, he still lacks a high-quality armor, and at the same time fantasizes about whether he can be favored by a foreign princess who hides his identity and become a colt. The lovers of Meier and Tales, on the other hand, only compete in individual foot battles, and since they are placed in the bottom half together, they are very likely to meet in the semi-finals, and Salian has promised Lorana Ise that she will let her enter the final at that time.

In the stands of the arena, the Count of Hohenstlingen had taken his seat in the company of his maid Yulia, his magical advisor Teresa, and his adopted daughter Hilda, perhaps because he had just been assassinated, and he was dressed all the way today, but we could still see his stunning purple gaze in the grille of his helmet.

The two rounds of knockout matches held in the morning were uneventful, and there were no upsets, but in the afternoon, Meyer watched Miss Tales's match first because of the schedule, and the beautiful swordsman in a beautiful cut-out suit and bell-bottoms had gorgeous tricks, because she borrowed her mother's appearance when she was young, so no one recognized her, and she was free to play her swordsmanship. Salian, who watched closely, estimated that her skill was even better than that of Estherfaria.

At this time, Salian noticed that the eldest son of the Grand Duke, Markminus, had also arrived in the stands, and after greeting the people around him, he went to his private room, and Salian also saw Count Redhoff, who accompanied him with the organizer of the tournament. The strange gaze he once had impressed Salian.

Miss Tales' match ended in a complete victory, and then the mercenary Meier came into the field, and his opponent was Garcia, the Castile sword fighter. This man was holding two cup-shaped gauntlet swords, and Salian knew that anyone who could hold a weapon in each hand was either an idiot or a master, and it seemed that he had probably met a master. I thought that the luck of the draw was really bad, and I had to do my best so early.

The sword fighter had a cold gaze and a haughty expression. There is no greeting, when the battle begins, he uses the swift "Supreme Technique" swordsmanship to directly take the vital point of Meier, two more than 1.5 meters, the weight of the stabbing sword can dance so skillfully, the power is indeed amazing. In the face of such a powerful opponent, of course, Meier did not dare to hold it up, and he used the "Imperial Sword Divine Flow" with a sawtooth two-handed sword to take over Garcia's attack.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting each other with their own stunts, and swapped positions many times in the sword and sword shadows, which dazzled the surrounding audience and cheered again and again.

"It doesn't seem easy for my brother to win today, his opponent is so powerful!"

"Yes, and this man has a very murderous aura!" Teresa, an expert in spiritual magic, found the atmosphere on the field a little unusual.

While the girls were expressing their opinions on the battle, a senior attendant of the Rockenhausen family sent a letter to the Count of Hohenstelingen, who was sitting in the stands, saying that the situation was urgent.

Since Salian was still in the game, the task of reading the letter would have to be left to his cronies. The Earl of the Border, who was under the armor, asked Yulia to open the letter for her, and Yulia was immediately taken aback by the content on it, it turned out that the letter said that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Meier and Salian, and Makminus himself was still investigating, and Yulia, who did not dare to assert herself, immediately asked Teresa to pass the news to Meier on the field.

Salian was not surprised at all when he heard the news, he now finally understood why this unknown Castia sword fighter in front of him would summon him to death, it seems that the lottery or something was deliberately arranged, so he didn't have to be polite. The situation on the field changed abruptly, and the mercenary Meier, who seemed to be at the bottom just now, suddenly used exquisite skills to turn the situation around.

He pondered as he attacked. Since receiving the order of the current emperor to enter the court, it shows that the competition for the throne has also entered a white-hot stage, and all forces must seize the time to start. It's just that I don't know who is behind this incident, and it will be necessary to ask Max later, since the son of the Grand Duke knows that someone wants to move him, then there must be a source of intelligence. Salian had to get all the clues in his hands and analyze them carefully. And in the future, it is necessary to strengthen the collection of intelligence, and it was the same not long ago when I was in Vienria, but fortunately, I still have some self-protection ability, otherwise I can only rely on the old duke to rescue. The intelligence network of these veteran princes is really not comparable to him.

Annoyed by the weakness of his own strength, Salian forced his opponent back, glanced towards the box of Makminus, and found that this little prince was really a great lord of love and righteousness, whether it was to Nmeier, who had a life-saving relationship, or Salian, who had only one side.

He turned back to his opponent in front of him.

"It's almost over, I still have a lot of work to do! I don't want to dwell on you any longer. ”

"I was about to say this, if I kill you, there will be money and beautiful women waiting for me!" said the man, who took a proud Castia step and launched a decisive attack.

However, Meier doesn't want to play anymore, and the recent fights have made him improve a lot. The killers who wanted to deal with him, according to the earlier estimation of his strength, could no longer pose a threat to him. Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on their incompetence, because whether it was against the Crystal Dragon, or when Vinria was attacked, Salian didn't leave anything alive. His opponents are understandably ignorant of his progress.

Karakuri mercenary Mileloi used a terrifying secret technique of control to take Garcia's bayonet attack away from the original line of attack, and then blasted his opponent's brain with a soul whip, severing Garcia's tendons and hamstrings with his serrated two-handed sword before the ordinary audience could see the way, causing him to let out a desperate wail. Dealing with a person who wants to kill him, Salian is also merciful. He didn't even have the memory of spying on Garcia, and this kind of paid mercenary wouldn't know any important information, not to mention the fact that the people who hired him might tell him false information to deceive Meier.
