In the end, the astonished crowd was shocked by the impact of the magic and saw that among the scattered wreckage of the ring, only Lord von Locle stood proudly with a spear in his hand. Only the cheers of the two girls rang out from the stands, and then the rest of the spectators came to their senses in amazement, cheering the Viscount's victory.

On the other hand, Meier was shaken out of the ring by the powerful shockwave, and no one cared about him anymore, so the poor mercenary had to use the secret control technique to close the hilt of the sword that had struck away, and quietly returned to his girls.

"Your Excellency, how are you, are you hurt?!" asked Countess Grace Don Loni with concern.

"Brother, do you want me to help with water magic?" Yulia's tone was impatient.

"Salian, who is the other party, so strong?" Teresa asked from a slightly different angle.

"Thank you for your concern! I'm fine, in fact, neither of us did our best just now, we were just acting. Because he wanted the 100,000 gold coins to do something good for the empire, I gave it to him. ”

"Who is he?"

"Hehe, don't ask, just a friend. ”

Just as Meyer was about to leave the arena, a chamberlain dressed in court robes handed him a note, which turned out to be something that had been written by Max and invited him to meet him tomorrow at the Duke's palace in Vienria.

At the same time, cheerful music played in the arena, accompanied by loud applause and cheers, and Lord von Locle ascended to the viewing platform, where he received the trophy and the deed of 100,000 gold coins from His Royal Highness the Prince Maximinus and the Duke of Wienria, respectively, which could be exchanged at any Ruger family's bank.

The old duke said to the viscount, "Viscount, please come to the duke's palace tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, the contemptible man is here now. ”

At the same time as the viscount received the trophy, Miss Sorena, the court mage behind Max, gave him a meaningful look, and the down-and-out knight nodded silently. It's just that Miss Jia Luonai, who was also on the viewing platform, is missing at the moment.

That night, a slender figure in a hooded burqa crept into the tavern where the viscount was temporarily staying.

"Dear Miss Sorena, you come from a wealthy family, and it is really difficult for you to come here. Lord von Locle sat in front of the window with a wine glass in one hand and the beauty in the other, and said leisurely.

"Hehe, don't underestimate me! And who the hell are you? I don't want to get along with someone who doesn't know why. Don't think I can't see some kind of transfiguration you're using. ”

"Oh, you're one of the strongest illusionists in the Empire, and you shouldn't have an axe in front of you. ”

Immediately, Sebastian smiled and withdrew the ninjutsu, revealing his true colors.

"I hope this doesn't disappoint you, do you?!"

The beautiful illusionist gazed into the eyes of the young nobleman and said, "Alas, handsome young man from the south, of course I am very satisfied, or too satisfied, I would rather have an ordinary appearance, and now I am not confident that I will be able to attract you for a long time." ”

"How come, how can I not love a beautiful woman like you?" he said and kissed the long eyelashes of the beautiful woman trembling slightly.

"What shall I call you now? ”

"Haha, I am the Inspector of the Central and Southern District of the Empire, the lord of the Bayou fortress Freising, the Count of the Empire, Sebastian von Riedlingen, twenty-three years old. ”

"Hehe, I'm still a kid, I'm three years older than you. Well, I've heard of you in the court. ”

Sebastian knew that the other party cared about age, so he replied.

"You are already a magician now, and becoming a great magician in the future will be a matter of course, and you will maintain your beauty for a long time. ”

"Lend you good words. But why do you, who are the nobles of the Empire, make up a pseudonym to participate in the tournament? I think it's strange. But if you have something unspeakable, you don't need to tell me. Everyone has secrets. ”

They chatted while admiring the moon, and Sebastian told Sorena everything.

"Although you are a powerful court magician, I have never hidden anything from my beauty. ”

"yes, do you say that to every girl?"

"Hehe, that's nature. I have my principles. ”

"Hmph, it's a shame that I'm not your first woman. Well, tell me about your secret. ”

"Because I was tasked with suppressing the recent uprising in the southern part of the Empire, you must have heard of it, right?!"

As an official of the imperial court, Miss Sorena naturally heard of it.

"Well, there are also several commotions in the eastern part of the empire, and the magic corps has been mobilized several times. It's just that I'm not directly involved. ”

"That's right, so according to the rules, of course I can't appear in the martial arts arena, and I won't meet you!"

"Hehe, that's true. My little friend. So how are you going to spend the 100,000 gold coins? I can feel your strong desire to survive after working so hard to win the championship. ”

"That's the point, and I'm one of the funders of the uprising. That's my secret. ”

"What! my little friend still has such a secret!" Miss Sorena was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Hehe, I'm actually a mastermind behind the scenes, and I love to play with intrigues. ”

"Haha, my little friend still has this hobby! Can I participate? ”

"Oh, sister, you're also interested in these tricks!"

"I'm the one who likes the mystery the most. The court magician said with a glint in her eyes, she is also an unwilling ordinary character, otherwise she would not have been driven out by the Seven Towers Magic Academy.

"Gee, it's a real boost to have your help. ”

"I don't think you're trying to have fun on a whim, are you?!What exactly is your purpose?? Tell me!"

"Well, please listen to me, my real purpose is like this......"

After saying this, Sebastian thought that Sorena, who served in the imperial court, would feel unwell, but she said excitedly.

"I see, then I have to participate even more, and when our children grow up, I will tell the little one what earth-shattering things his father has done for the Empire. ”

"Wowhaha, everything listens to your arrangement. ”

"By the way, I have a great idea that I can help you, huh?"

"Sister, do you have your own ideas in such a short time?"

"Awesome, I'm also very good at playing tricks, you see how ...... like this."

The next morning, the two lingered for a long time, but because Sebastian needed to go to the Duke's Palace, they had to say goodbye.

"My dear friend, for the sake of our cause, my sister is leaving you for the time being, you can use this thing!"

Sorena removed a ruby ring from her slender finger and placed it in Sebastian's palm.

"This is a space ring, which I usually use for pocket money, and there are five thousand gold coins in cash. Now that you have a deed of 100,000 guilders, it must not be easy to use, because you are dealing with poor people and mercenaries who only recognize cash. ”

"Thank you, my favorite sister. It really solved my urgent need, and after I won, I was thinking about how to use this deed, knowing that 100,000 gold coins weigh a ton! ”

"Haha, don't praise me anymore. Go find your other girls, and don't forget about me. My younger sister, who is also a little girl, also has a good eye for you, and you will meet her later. ”

That's how the two broke up. On the way to the Duke's Palace, Lord von Locle happened to meet Meyer, and the two friends traveled together.

"Sebastian, you've got 100,000 gold coins, what are you going to do with it!?" Duke New Mark asked curiously in a magical voice.

"With this money, you can wipe out a large number of separatists within the empire, and you can see if you can do it! ”

"Yes. ”

Sebastian's words were so shocking that Salian didn't take them to heart.

In the Duke's Palace, the prince Max and the Duchess Lola of Grande received the mercenary Meier warmly. As soon as they met, the honorable heir of the empire embraced his brother-in-law.

"Brother Meyer, it's been a long time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Oh no, little Max. ”

"Haha, big brother doesn't have to be polite, in fact, I came to you because I need your help with something?"

"Well, as long as you can use it. ”

"I want you to organize a mercenary army for me to serve the Empire. I've seen many examples over the years, so I decided to build such a team for the Empire after consulting with my father. As you know, the empire is now slack, and the problem of depleting troops is very serious. ”

"Oh, Brother Max can see it very clearly! In general, he also understands the current situation of the Empire's original main armed force, that is, the knight class under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor. Because there is a lot of contact with them below. These people are too divided, a few have become favored courtiers like the Duke of New Mark or the Count of the Reedlingen Empire, while most of the rest are poor or even bankrupt, and many have become the same mercenaries as the next ones. ”

"Yes, so I must rebuild the empire, on the one hand, there is a shortage of troops at home, and there are strong enemies abroad. Max said worriedly.

Meyer admired Max's proposal so much, why should the empire have such an heir. He once again made up his mind to assist the future Ming Jun well.

"Brother Meier, this is 100,000 florin gold coins in cash, for you to initially build an army. ”

Max also handed Myer a spatial ring and continued.

"I know that cash is much more useful to mercenaries than anything else. ”

"Haha, I lost the 100,000 gold coins in the lower place, but I got the 100,000 gold coins again!"

"Hehe, that seems to be the case, Brother Meyer. Also, these gold coins were made by Miss Lola. ”

"Yes, future queen, dear Miss Lola. You really care about the Empire!"

"Hey, Brother Meyer doesn't want you to make fun of me!"
