Hockenheim's main city, Wolfsburg, is brightly lit up for the upcoming festival.

Knightly jousting tournaments, the most popular pastime of the Western Continents, in this barren and boring land, what could be more exciting than noble knights putting down their bodies and fighting like barbarians?

The competition is divided into two kinds, namely horse battles and foot battles, and the number of participants in the battle is also not fixed, which is formulated by the organizers, and can be heads-up, teamwork, and chaotic battles.

There are no restrictions on the number of knights who can participate, either voluntarily or assigned by a higher-ranking lord to participate in the battle.

And the reason why countless knights fought here is because of the supreme glory, the winner will be famous overnight, and the loser will never be known.

Stannis rode into the midst of the crowd, Wolfsburg had never been so lively in his memory, as a child, the former owner of this body had been brought by his father, the old Earl of Justin, a few times, when it was still a bitter cold place, except for the endless snow that shrouded the seasons, only this lonely castle on the mountain, standing like a wolf's tooth in the endless mountains of the north.

However, these memories were in stark contrast to the scene in front of him, and the once sparse village at the foot of the mountain had now developed into a large and prosperous town, which puzzled Stannis, and he turned to Robert and asked, "Why has it changed so much?"

Robert and Korodov looked at each other strangely, but still replied: "Boss, you have forgotten that since Marquis Wolff married his third daughter to the fourth son of His Majesty the Emperor a year ago, it was really a step to the sky, plus several of his sons are very good, so now the entire White Wolf family is thriving." ”

It turned out that he became a relative, no wonder he could hold a martial arts tournament, Stannis thought to himself.

The roads were full of heavily armed knights and their attendants, with family coats of arms tattooed on their shields and armor, and without these marks were some chivalrous knights without a crown.

"So many people?" Stannis was already blocked and couldn't walk.

"Yes, Boss, I guess all the famous knights in the East are here, because the prize for the champion is the legendary sword - Fire Kiss. Robert said, his eyes shining with longing.

This is completely different from his own focus, Stannis is still thinking about getting the 500 gold coins to fulfill his dream of infrastructure madness.

At this time, Korodov also spoke: "The old marquis is even willing to take out this sword, it seems that he wants to have a good time." ”

A broken sword, what is there to fight for, low-level fun is low-level fun. Stannis despised them again, and a sense of superiority arose.

"Boss, do you want to find a place to stay, there are so many people now, I'm afraid there will be no place to settle down at night. Robert said worriedly.

Stannis glared at him, "What kind of hotel do you stay in, don't spend money!

"But......," Robert wanted to argue.

But the lord waved his hand and vetoed it directly, "It's nothing, in order to save money, I decided to go directly to the people of the Wolf family and ask them to arrange food and lodging." ”

"Boss, you're crazy! Those guys want to kill you before it's too late, and you still take the initiative to send it to the door!"

Stannis smiled slightly, how can these Western barbarians understand their wisdom from the East? The most dangerous place is the safest place, not to mention, this dangerous place can save money!

Despite extreme reluctance, his two men followed him to the main castle of the Wolf family, but halfway up the hill they were stopped by the walls that surrounded the mountain.

Radish nodded meaningfully, "Their family is really developed, and they can build such an imposing wall along the mountain." ”

However, Stannis was more concerned with how to get through the guards, and although there were many people gathered on the periphery of the walls, it seemed that very few could make it to the other side.

"How do we get through?" Stanis scratched his cheeks, "Hey, look at some familiar faces around here, so I can get close and take us in." ”

Robert stood on the stirrup and looked back and forth, but there were no familiar faces around him, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted as if he had found a savior, "Boss, I have found an acquaintance." ”

Stannis followed his fingers, and of course, with severe face blindness, he still couldn't recognize the difference between the white-skinned, long-bearded men in front of him.

"Look where! Isn't Robinsey the one under the gate bandaging the wounds of the guards!"

[Robin Sai], the only black wolf in the White Wolf family, he is the illegitimate son of the old Earl Wolf, so according to the laws of the Western Continent, he is not eligible to have the surname of Wolf, but he is better than any descendant of the Wolf family, and even the eldest son Patkins is slightly inferior to him by three points.

What's even more impressive is that among the Wolf family, who are generally hostile to them, Robinsey is one of the few who are kind to him.

Stannis rode along, and in front of him, a tall lanky man with black hair and black eyes, dressed patiently and carefully wounds for an ordinary soldier.

"Robinsy?" Stannis cautiously called out his name.

The black-haired man heard someone shouting at him, so he turned and stood up, and a heroic air came over him, his face was cleanly shaved, in contrast to the scruffy soldiers and knights around him, and two black swords hung from the armed belt around his waist.

"Oh, it's Lord Stennis who hasn't seen you in a long time. Just as in the impression, the other party greeted him warmly.

Stannis also felt very warm in his heart, he didn't expect this guy to look more open than his three subordinates, and he naturally wanted to make friends with him.

"Brother Robin, what are you doing here?" Stannis began to close.

"I'll make you laugh, Lord Stennis, one of his men has been bitten by a wolf in the mountains, and there is no doctor in the castle, so I have to take my role. ”

Oh, I see! This guy is still as warm as he remembers.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Stan. ”

"So, Stan, what are you doing here? Some people here aren't always so hospitable. Robinsey reminded meaningfully.

After he said this, Stannis realized that the eyes of some people around him were very unfriendly, these were the lords under the Marquis of Wolf, and they also recognized the last descendant of the Red Dragon family.

No matter how you think about it, it's really too much to show off your might in front of the enemy's territory.

However, in order to save money, he gave up, and Stannis looked at Robinsey and said in a low voice, "Brother Robin, I won't tell you, it was Patkins in your house who invited me to be a guest, isn't he there?"

"My brother is out, but I do hear that my father has invited you to the Knights' Conference. ”

Stennis snickered, since the main party was not there, wouldn't he be talking as much as he wanted, "Then can we arrange accommodation?" Patkins promised me to feel at home, but no one seemed to receive me since I came in, you see that I and my two men have been on the road for a day, tired and hungry, don't you ......?"

Robinsey hurriedly showed an apologetic look, "It's me who didn't think it through, please come in quickly, I'll take you to the guest room to rest." ”

With that, he hurriedly said a few words to the guards, and Stannis and his party easily passed through the handle of the city wall.

What an honest man, he was fooled after a few casual flickers. Stannis admired himself again.

Soon, the three of them were placed in a comfortable room near the castle, and the soft bed made of velvet mattresses made Stannis, who had suffered from the hard bed, almost faint with excitement, and he rolled on it unbridled and cheerful despite his status as a lord.

Robert and Korodov were feasting around the table, and Robinsey sent someone to cook a feast for them.

"Is this the life of a lord!" Stannis longed to be one with Mr. Quilt, and really wanted to hold the soft one and go on like this.

"It's still the boss who is wise, and knowing that lord-level hospitality is called hospitality, and spending money to stay in those black-hearted hotels is really the stupidest thing. Robert slapped his ass again.

"Gollum. The big knight, with the food in his mouth, seemed to want to echo the remarks.

Stannis sat up, the fire in the fireplace making him feel the warmth of spring.

"But we'll have to be careful!" said Robert, who turned to the point of being extremely serious again.

Stannis wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Now we're still in the most dangerous places, like sticking our heads into the mouths of wolves. I noticed a few people around me sharpening their swords with bad intentions. ”

Stannis's heart fluttered when he said this, but he still pretended to be strong, "They must be preparing for the tournament!

"But I saw the fourth son of the Wolf family standing on the steps with a spear in his hand, sneering at you. ”

"Huh?"

"The seventh and eighth sons of their family were chopping wood with axes, as if they were practicing beheading. ”

"Huh!?"

"And the thirteenth son hid in the shadows, and judging by the fine light that came out, it should be a bowstring. ”

“Shit！！？”

"And fourteen, sixteen, nineteen......"

"Shut up, don't say any more!"

"Anyway, boss, you're in a very dangerous situation right now, there are not hundreds of people here who want to kill you, but there are dozens, of course, I agree with your saying 'the most dangerous place is the safest place', but I still hope to apply for another room to move next door...... "Robert finished speaking, and he got up and walked towards the door.

Stannis hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't go! ”

Radish hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down.

However, his situation is indeed very dangerous, and he knew that he would not listen to the crooked theory of impermanence in the art of war, and the impermanence of water would come over and send people to their heads.

"Okay, in order to ensure safety, we have to be fully prepared, from now on, we have to arrange people to stand guard in a cycle, alternate once every three hours, radish, you are in charge of the first shift, stupid big one, you are the second shift, and then it will continue to alternate, perfect!"

Robert half-squinted his eyes and looked unpleasant, "What about you, boss?"

"I'm in charge of sleeping! Don't call me if there's no emergency, I'm going to have a good chat with Mr. Quilt about life. ”

With that, Stannis jumped out of his clothes and into the covers, and a few seconds later, the sound of snoring filled the room.
