"Now that you know my past, you know that I have no ill will towards the Holy Empire, on the contrary, in some way, I have helped the Empire a lot. Constantine said calmly.

Morgan said: "These are two different things, I know that the bounty hunters have never had the concept of national interests in their eyes, I don't know why you used to be unable to get along with the dragon lance, but if you came to the imperial capital to provoke a dispute between the two countries, then I regret to tell you that this is not in the current interests of the empire, we are not ready to go to war with the dragon lance dynasty, neither I nor His Majesty the Emperor will allow this kind of thing to happen." ”

"Just because it won't happen now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. "The dynasty was ambitious, and although they were defeated by the Empire ten years ago, their ambitions never went away, and what is more worrying is that they are fully equipped to put this ambition into practice." ”

"I vouch for what I have seen and heard, that the next generation of dragon lances will be far more powerful than the ones you have seen before, as my past experiences in Azeroa and in Caroli can attest. ”

"As you said in the Great Hall, the new generation of Dragonlancers almost all have the potential to grow into the best of the best, and the flames of hatred and lust have tempered them into even more terrifying and ruthless war machines, capable of slaughtering hundreds of captives without changing their faces, sowing the seeds of plague under the pretext of war, or destroying the homes of innocent people with high-level magic that is widespread and destructive. ”

"The same is true of the people of the Dragonlance, who have no mercy, righteousness, and virtue in their eyes, which are familiar to the good people of the Empire, and as far as I have observed in the Empire, for the people of the Empire who have been lying in the hothouses of prosperity for hundreds of years, the Dragonlancers are probably unimaginable to the warlike people, and the nobles of the Holy Empire have no idea what kind of terrible opponents their next generation will face, and they are naively immersed in the songs of the Golden Age. ”

Seeing that Morgan was silent, Constantine added: "I remember that you famously said once upon a time: 'The enemy of our enemy is our friend', and although I am not of the empire, our enemies are the same. ”

"If you're still not sure, I can guarantee that even if the opponent I met in the arena was Rommel Kate, I would abide by the rules of the martial arts tournament and not kill him. ”

After hearing this, Morgan closed his eyes and seemed to be lost in contemplation and weighing.

Constantine was also not in a hurry, and the big man made a decision, of course, after careful consideration.

After a moment, Morgan opened his eyes, "What do you want?"

"A level playing field, that's all. Constantine lifted the mask.

A strange color flashed in Morgan's eyes: "Could it be that you really want to win this championship?"

"Why not? I am also a human being, and a human being who desires glory and power, and what better opportunity than this assembly?" said Constantine.

"Your Majesty and the Pope attach great importance to this competition, this is a great opportunity to awaken the fighting spirit of the people of the Empire, otherwise, why do you think I would let Rommel take the stage in front of tens of thousands of people in the Empire?"

Morgan said lightly, "The meaning of the championship is not as simple as you think, the champion of the previous competitions will become the spiritual leader and pillar of the entire imperial knight class, the knight who undertakes this mission must have both bravery, strategy and glorious chivalry, only a knight with such an image can generate enough appeal at a critical moment, do you think you can do it?"

Constantine said: "The people need heroes, so you create a hero to satisfy their fantasies and stimulate their fighting spirit, which is very old-fashioned, but it really works." ”

"Yes, and the most suitable candidate for this position is already available, although it is suspected of being predetermined to say so, but in the eyes of His Majesty and I, Roland Austin is the most suitable person at present. ”

Constantine nodded: "A knight of noble character, handsome appearance, excellent grades and strength can indeed arouse the passion and desire of the majority of ordinary people to make achievements to the greatest extent, and I think you have also discovered the fact that commoners will play an important role in the development of the empire in the future." ”

Morgan sighed, "You're very good, young man, if you're not a bounty hunter, with your mind, you should really ask the military department to hire you as a senior staff member in the strategy department." ”

"Since it's a competition, after all, it's all about strength, and if I defeat Roland in front of the whole empire, then the champion should be me. Constantine said.

Morgan said: "I admit your strength, little one, but standing in the arena and competing with people in a dignified manner is not the same thing as hiding in the shadows to assassinate, I can kindly warn you in advance, even you, can not defeat Roland, his swordsmanship has reached a very terrible situation, even more than me back then, if the person who comes is the rumored dragon spear princess Kayan, it is estimated that there is still a few chances of winning." ”

"Time will tell, so just focus on the game. Constantine stroked the cracked scabbard, and through the gap, the [Morning Dawn] refracted a crystal streamer, which seemed to mean that the magic flowing in the sword body was no longer pressable, and he wanted to come out of the sheath and compete with the enemy.

Morgan didn't talk too much, and when he was done, he walked towards the gate on the top floor of the tower.

The moment he opened the doorknob, Morgan suddenly turned around: "By the way, bring a message to my old friend Joey, I know that he hates Roland for letting her granddaughter come to Paladin, but it has been more than two years, I hope he can let go of his knot, if Cizerel expects you to help him regain face in the arena, I'm afraid he will be disappointed again." ”

Constantine's body stiffened, and he couldn't understand why Morgan could see how Joey's relationship with him was exposed?

As if he had insight into the young man's thoughts, the old man smiled slightly, " You are wrong that you shouldn't have chosen to use arcane arts against me just now, the kind of multiple spell casting technique invented by Joey's old friend that is almost cheating, I have witnessed it more than once when I was young, except for the descendants of dragon knights who inherit the blood of the dragon clan, no magician in the entire continent can do this before reaching the realm of the Great Magister, so don't think that I was really persuaded by you so easily, if it weren't for Joey, I wouldn't have been able to let you go today, since he is optimistic about you, why not let me give him a face？”

Hearing this, Constantine could only smile bitterly, and sighed in his heart: None of these old monsters of the previous generation of the Holy Empire were fuel-efficient lamps.
