Earnings...... Could it be that someone from a gambling organization came to find himself to make a profit in the competition?

"Thanks for the compliment. "Rhodes has heard a lot www.biquge.info of people praise himself for being handsome and praising his skills, but few people praise him for being smart, although he doesn't know how the other party came to a conclusion, but his face is still slightly better: "How to get the most benefits?"

"Can't we get straight to the point, we're busy. Ciri was still immersed in the unhappiness of being interrupted by a hand with great advantages, and when he saw that the comer still wanted to sell the pass, there was a slight unfriendliness in his words.

"Miss Liannon is really cheerful, so I'll be straight to the point. The mystery visitor complimented against his will, but there was a wave of disdain in his heart. "The champion of a jousting tournament is of no use to you, but in the hands of a certain person, it can play a huge role. The two are already in the top eight, and they will be able to get the glory of the knights, and further on, it is nothing more than to get a higher prize money and be more in front of the audience. Without a backstage and background, it is impossible to rely on this short-term glory to climb up smoothly, and in the struggle between the various factions in the kingdom, ordinary people without a position can only be a small chess piece, to be kneaded by others. ”

"So what?"

"Now, I offer you a chance. Join my faction, just give up this title that is useless to you, and the forces behind me can give you some easy and promising positions, and if you take the time to prove your loyalty and talent, you will definitely come out on top. ”

Ciri and Rod let out a neat breath through their nostrils, their disdain overflowing.

The visitor sighed in his heart, the current afterlife is really not easy to fool, and he will not take the bait at all if he does not show the benefits of reality. He took out two pieces of paper and placed them in front of the young girl: "Two checks, each of which can be used to withdraw a hundred gold dragons in cash from any bank in Antaili." You don't have to do anything, you get two championship prizes, and the top eight prizes are yours too, that's good enough. ”

Ciri was still holding her chest, looking at the ceiling without even looking at the check. Rod glanced at the two pieces of paper and looked up at the unknown visitor: "This is the quarterfinals, and the game has not been arranged yet." Even if I say yes, there's no guarantee that your people will win the championship, right?"

"You don't have to worry about that, I've seen more than two. ”

I see, could it be that he swam away seven players, and I don't know how many to convince?

"To whom. ”

"Son of Duke Tully. The task was finally completed, and the visitor breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope that today's meeting will not be known by anyone, and the two of them should try to fake and do it as much as possible during the game, there are not many masters who are present to watch the game, if you can suffer a little injury or something......

Rod was silent for a moment, he was a little eager to make some money for himself...... But it's just thinking about it, compared to the limelight that can be won the championship, this money that is a huge amount of money for ordinary people is really nothing.

He took out the shrinkage bag his mother had given him and pulled out a handful of gold coins from it.

The Midland Empire's newly minted Mild, not even a human fingerprint and fingerprint, is new, cold, and clean. Perfectly round, the size of the same, the thickness of the millimeter, so that this handful of gold coins are folded into a dazzling little cylinder, and on the front of the top one, the side face of the Emperor Kyle is like a smug and confident expression as if he is mocking the comer: You, you also know what wealth is?

The visitor's face sank and he realized that the situation was not good.

Rhodes took out the gold coins from his pouch one by one, and with both hands, he slowly and smoothly folded them into one small cylinder after another. As he moved, the oily-faced man's face became worse and worse...... Dozens of Milds were stacked on top of each other to form several small golden pillars, which dazzled people. After the coin was taken out, he grabbed out a handful of top-grade magic crystals, the abundant energy fluctuations in the blue crystals were so strong that even ordinary people could sense them, and this high-grade magic crystal was worth at least five or six golden dragons.

"If I give your master three times the championship bounty and make him give up the game, will he agree?"

"Mr. Hart, please forgive me for insulting you with money. Realizing that it might not be Midland's casual two civilians sitting across from him, the visitor could only change his tactics and quickly put away two checks: "The duke's son wants to propose to the princess of the kingdom, the daughter of King Elite, after winning the championship." If you are willing to give him a chance - I guarantee you will gain the friendship of the Duke's entire family. ”

"I don't want to get the friendship of the guy who can win by such inferior means. Rod also leaned back in his chair as Ciri did: "Let's go, go back and tell him that I am bound to win the championship, and I wish him to hold his weapon tightly in front of me." ”

The visitor was silent for a moment and sighed: "Your Excellency's words, I will convey them, I hope you will not regret your decision." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. ”

When the lobbyist left, Ciri regained his vitality and praised Rhodes with a smile: "You were so handsome just now, even I was bluffed by you." ”

"yes, that's kind of confidence. Rod also put away his serious face, it seems that his ability to pretend is already a little hot.

"Cut, say you're fat and you're panting. ”

When Dieter heard this, he frowned, and ordered the caravan guards to keep an eye on the inn and not let any strangers enter or leave, and sent additional men on duty. His arrangement did come in handy - someone tried to sneak into the inn stables in the middle of the night to manipulate everyone's mounts, but fortunately they were discovered and driven away by the guards on night duty, and if everyone's mounts had an accident and they didn't get horses nearby in time to wake up in the morning, it was likely to delay their arrival at the jousting arena outside the city, thus disqualifying both Rhodes and Ciri.

The identity of the main messenger was obvious, which made Rod very angry, and he decided that if he was to give him a good look at the golden boy of the Tali family.

Eight into four he did not face the expected opponent, to this step of the contestants have no leisure, in the case of having seen several battles of Rod, this time the opponent adopted targeted tactics, holding the weapon to defend with all his might, a weapon collision successfully broke the legend of Rod's "fourth encounter will inevitably shoot down the opponent's weapon", so that a large number of bets on the audience disappointed.

His victory was no doubt about him, and the audience reacted even more strongly because the only two women in the quarterfinals defeated their opponents to advance, and the eldest son of the Tully family also defeated his opponent to reach the semi-finals.

There were more spectators in the four-in-two, and the organizers had to expand the audience seats again, and the noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere shook the insects in the trees outside the stadium. In the end, several young people made it to the top four were all present: a duke heir to the kingdom of Antelli, a Midland nobleman with a hidden identity, an ambassador sent by the Church of Light, and a young witch from another world.

The arrangement of the competition has been decided, male-to-male, female-to-female, which means that the first Anteli Youth Tournament will have a woman in the final anyway - a symbol of great progress for gender equality and civility. Young, handsome, extraordinary, and most importantly, his ordinary background with most of the audience has earned him the support of most of his followers, which can also be seen from the betting odds, his odds of winning are only a fraction of that of his opponent, the son of Duke Tully, and as a rule of thumb, this is the odds that the betting agency believes that Rhodes must win.

Rod was determined and confident to achieve this victory.

In addition to the turmoil on the eve of the invasion of the stables, he also encountered some trouble on the way to the jousting arena this morning, and if Grom had not intervened to take him over the congested section, he was afraid that he would still be on the road at the moment - it was unbelievable that the main road in the city would be congested when a small half of the residents went out to watch the game, and it was self-evident who was behind it.
