Chapter 324: Three Requirements

Tiger Rose stepped into the door of the hotel with a sad face, he was in a very good mood today, he played nine consecutive victories in the afternoon, won four sets of knightly equipment, four horses and more than 200 gold fords, and sold them to the second dealer outside the competition arena for nearly 200 gold coins. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSo he decided to take a few wandering knight friends he had just met in the tent area of the square to have a good drink at night, and I heard them say that the rose tavern by the square has come to a few very coquettish dancers these days, soft and charming, but the price is too high to feast people's eyes.....

Tiger Rose flipped the money bag in his hand and showed a lewd smile, he could relax at night, anyway, the second round of the duel will be a few days away, but he is not afraid that he will have too much fun and will not have the strength to play...... Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Tagger appear in front of him with a serious face, and when it was over, Tiger Rose lamented, he had bargained with the second-tier dealer just now, and he didn't put down his mask, it would be too late.

Looking at the tiger Ross, who hurriedly lowered his head to avoid his gaze and tried to obfuscate the past, Tugger smiled: "Lord Ross, don't hide, when you show your strength on the field in the afternoon, the Lord will see that it is you, he wants you to appear in front of him before dinner, you know the place, good luck." ”

Now Tiger Rose was standing in front of Lorlist, as if this would reduce his figure from being seen by Lorlist. Looking at his trivial appearance, Lorist was angry: "Stand well, don't cower in the corner like a quail." Rose, you just left your legion behind and went to King Windbury to play. Can you tell me where that regiment you are with right now?"

"My lord, the corps is fine, now it is under the command of Yuri Knight, it is less than fifty miles away from the royal city, once something happens, Yuri Knight will be able to arrive immediately. Rose straightened up.

"So you left the corps and ran to participate in the knight tournament by yourself?"

"My lord, originally Yuri was going to come, but I ......was here if he guessed and lost," Rose was very aggrieved.

"You ...... I'm. Lorist didn't know how to scold for a moment.

It was Baron Philim who rescued Tiger Rose, and he pushed the door in and said, "Yo, Rose, are you here too?"

Then, without waiting for Tiger Ross to answer, he came over to La Lorist: "Locke, let's go, I'll introduce you to a personal acquaintance." Hehehe, I'm so happy today, you know, Bonava has finally agreed to be my family knight. I'll tell you, Bonavata......"

Lorist was dragged out of the room by Baron Philim, and before he even had time to say a word to Tiger Rose, Schward hurriedly followed.

"Uh......" said El, "I'll have to gather the guards to follow you." ”

Tiger Rose looked at the rest of the room, "I should be okay now." ”

"It depends on whether the adults are free for the next few days, or whether they can remember that you haven't accepted the punishment yet," Jost said. ”

Reddy said: "I'm going to rest first, and I'll have to take on the challenge in the ring tomorrow. ”

"I think you have to be a little better in these two days, don't make the adults angry, maybe the adults will let you go," Tagger said. ”

Tiger Rose gave him a blank look: "No matter, I won a lot today, I invited everyone to drink in the evening, it is said that there are a few charming dancers in the tavern, which are very seductive." ”

Jost said: "No, I'll have to play again tomorrow morning. ”

Targar said, "I'll go with you, it's okay to drink, but women don't have to." ”

......

The man Baron Philim wanted to introduce to Lorist was the Knight of Bonahua they had met on their way to King Windbry. According to Baron Philim, after he defected to the second prince, he became the two heroes under the second prince because of his military exploits. It's just that Baron Philim is good at charging into battle, and the more he fights, the better his performance is, unlike the eldest brother who died in the battle of Lorist, Baron Philim's most awesome thing is that he has been in battle for a long time and is unscathed, and the troops assigned to him by the second prince often suffer heavy casualties, while Baron Philim can always achieve victory and return triumphantly with his family's private soldiers.

The Knight of Bonava and Baron Philim were different types of unit commanders, much like the traditional military generals of the former Cresson Empire, focusing on military discipline and combat efficiency, as well as the casualties of soldiers. The most popular commander under the command of the second prince is him. Two of the three battles established by the Kingdom of Iberia were won under the command of the Bonawa Knights.

The first was to wipe out the alliance of eight nobles who had defected to the Great Prince in the southern provinces, and the Knights of Bonavat led a rabble of 10,000 against the 18,000 private soldiers of the noble alliance, which ended with the defeat of the noble alliance and the uprooting of eight noble families three months later. If the war is lost, the Southern Province will become the Grand Prince's sphere of influence, and may threaten the safety of Winston.

The second time was the first time that the second prince commanded an army to attack the Duchy of Meleain, but was defeated by the Grand Duke of Melain and the Tempest Legion, and the Grand Duke of Melain led the army to chase the second prince to the death, and when the second prince was cornered, the Bonava knights who were sent to escort grain and grass arrived to save the second prince's life. At that time, the second prince was distraught, and under the pretext that he was going to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to borrow troops, he ran away early, and threw the mess to the Bonavat knights. The knights of Bonava were not alarmed, and on the one hand, they ordered the logistics baggage troops to choose a dangerous place to camp, and on the other hand, they collected the scattered rout, and used the Archduke Melain to counterattack into the enemy territory while the victory was in pursuit, cutting off the enemy's way back, turning defeat into victory, destroying more than 8,000 enemies in one fell swoop, and forcing Archduke Melain to flee back to the principality with dozens of horsemen.

Such an excellent military commander has always been hated and suppressed by the second prince because of his military achievements and outspokenness, and he cannot be reused. Even when the Iberian Kingdom was knighted for merit after the establishment of the kingdom, the knight of Bonava should have been at least a real baron, but the second prince demanded that he give a large sum of money as a subsidy for the kingdom's financial poverty in order to obtain the title and land. The knight of Bonavat left in anger and returned to the manor to live in seclusion.

Baron Philim had been searching for his whereabouts in the royal city for the past few days, and finally found him. When asked about his situation, he found that the Ponawar knight was in a very bad situation now, and seriously counted the Philim family and the Ponava family as fellow villagers, the traditional territory of the Philim family was in the Southern Province, and the ancestor of the Bonava Knight was also a baron, and was later deprived of the title and territory due to the riots in Windbury City, leaving only a knight's manor in the Southern Province.

Like Baron Philim, the Knight of Bonavat is also fighting for the revival of the family, but he does not have the martial prowess of Baron Philim. Although he is also a golden one-star knight, the progress of his Dou Qi cultivation does not mean that his skills are outstanding, on the other hand, the Bonava knight is more like a military strategist who is good at planning.

Coming to participate in the knight tournament held by the Fisabrun family, the Bonavat knight was also forced to be helpless, more precisely, he came to sell himself, wanting to find a backer for his family. The knights' estates of the Bonavat family are in the southern provinces, which have long been in ruins by the battle between the Grand Duke of Melain and the second prince, and are desolate, full of robbers, horse bandits, and deserters. The knights' manor of the Bonava family is not large, and the total number of young and strong people is less than fifty, and the defense is not enough. Even if the knight of Bonavat was a military strategist, he was powerless in the face of hundreds or thousands of bandits, and even had to worry about the safety of the women, children, and children in the manor.

So the Bonavat knight moved the mind of migration, but where to move to the safety of the road to ensure how to ensure the safety of the road is a big problem for him, hearing the news of this conference he wanted to try his luck, he knew very well that with his martial arts it was difficult to excel in the conference, but he just wanted to see if there were still people who remembered his past prestige to recruit him.

It is a pity that the knight of Bonava asked to see Her Majesty the Queen on the first day, and Her Majesty did not have time to see a knight. The next day, I didn't see the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, who was very busy. On the third day, the knight of Bonavat learned to meet the nobles of the southern provinces with whom he was acquainted, but he was still disappointed. Those nobles of the southern provinces knew about his talent, but so what, the current situation of the Iberian Kingdom can only be said to be better to die than to live, to have money or not, to have soldiers or not, and there is no room for the knights of Bonava to play.

At this time, Baron Philim came to the door, and he came to the door for several days in a row. When the Bonava knights learned that the Philim family had formed a legion of 46,000 men in the Northlands, he was finally moved. In particular, Baron Philip made it very clear that when he followed the second prince in the past, the troops below were not his own anyway, and it didn't matter how many people died. But now this legion is a family army that has been formed with a lot of effort and cost, and Baron Philim doesn't want to waste it in vain, and commanding the legion to fight is what the Bonawa knights are good at, so Baron Philim is eager to find talent.

Baron Philim was overjoyed to receive the surrender of the Bonavar knights, and held a banquet for three days in a row, Lorist has always been with him, and also agreed to Baron Philim a condition, when the archery and swordsmanship competition is over, he will send Jost and Reddy with a thousand guards and Baron Philim's five hundred cavalry to the southern province to escort all the families of the Bonavar knights.

Because of the holding of the knights' tournament, the royal city of Windbury finally rejuvenated a little bit of life and became lively. The market is also somewhat prosperous, and the nobles have resumed some of their former favorite activities. In the Rose Palace, there is a big banquet for three days, a small banquet for two days, and a dance party is held every night, and the nobles dressed up like people and the ladies and ladies who show off their flowers make the Rose Palace a night sky.

But for Lorlist, it was all extremely boring. He can't compete in martial arts, and he doesn't like to associate with nobles, especially those banquets and balls, where everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy. Just like the ladies and ladies who crowded around him, those who were willing to recommend their own pillows had other requirements. Lorist is not a saint, and he also has lust, but the problem is that he is not suitable for finding a bed partner at the moment, and the purpose of his visit to the royal city this time is to propose to Princess Celivia, but he doesn't want to be debauched and romantic, and as a result, rumors spread all over the royal city, and finally made the little girl angry and angry.

Strangely, after more than twenty days have passed, Princess Silvia has not returned to the royal city of Windbrie, and Archduke Fisabrun has been angry about this matter, which makes it impossible for Lorist to meet Archduke Fisabrun and propose to Princess Silivia. Now this situation also made Lorist very irritable, and the only thing that pleased him was that the prestige of the Norton family became more and more prominent in this knightly tournament. Jost won the archery event, and Reddy surprised people even more, he took the title of Silver Sword Rank to challenge for Gold Sword Rank 1st place, and it only took ten minutes to win.

In the biggest event of the Instant Showdown, the second round of the competition has ended, and two of the ten winners are the Knights of the Norton family, known as the most champion Tiger Ross, which is why Lorist gave up the punishment of him. And then there's El. Both of them passed five hurdles and six generals, successfully advanced to the third round, becoming one of the ten winners. In a few days, the third round will start to decide who will be the champion and runner-up.

In the second round of the matchup, Tiger Ross faced Count Dalek of the Duchy of Sabaji, and the two exchanged nearly 100 moves, and finally Count Dalek gave up and admitted defeat and was eliminated. In the evening of the same day, Lorist received a report from Targar that the Earl of Dallek and the Earl of Churchwick of the Duchy of Handra had packed their bags and announced with Fisabrun that they had left for the journey home.

Lorist touched his chin and wondered, could it be that his hunch was wrong? It's really strange, these two people seem to really come to participate in the knights' tournament, and after being eliminated, Lima will go back, and it will be neat. But let's go back, maybe my hunch is really wrong, maybe it's because I care too much about Princess Celivia, so I look at everyone like a competitor.

Just as he was waiting for the third round of the duel to end the meeting, Tagger appeared in front of Lorlist: "My lord, early this morning, Grand Duke Fisabrun returned to the Eastern Wilderness Province with a team of guards, and we estimate that he may be bringing Princess Celivia back. After all, many nobles and knights who came to participate in the knight tournament wanted to see the princess's face, and after not seeing the princess back for a long time, they had already complained in the royal city, and there were rumors that the princess left the royal city because she was scolded by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke can no longer bear the pressure, so he will go back and bring back the princess......"

But six days later, Grand Duke Fisabrun finally returned at the end of the third round of the showdown, just in time to award the prize money and prizes to the first-placed Tiger Ross. When the award was presented, the face of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was not good-looking, and it can be said that he forced a smile. Everyone knew why, because Princess Celivia didn't come back with him.

As soon as he stepped out of the gates of the arena, Lorist met one of the guards of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. The guard said that the Grand Duke had invited Lorist to meet him in the main hall of the palace.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know if there is anything I need to do to bring me here?"

In the main hall of the royal palace, Lorist met the slightly tired Grand Duke of Fisabrun.

"Alas......" Grand Duke Fisabrun let out a long sigh: "Locke, I know the purpose of your visit this time, do you want to marry our Fisabrun family and ask to marry Celevia?"

"Yes, His Highness the Grand Duke. Lorist replied bluntly.

"Time flies so fast, and the little girl at the beginning has reached the age of marriage. Grand Duke Fisabrun said faintly: "I spoiled her too much when I was a child, so much so that when I grew up, I lost my temper when I disobeyed a little, which made my grandfather lose face and make everyone laugh." ”

"......" Lorist was speechless.

"I have no objection to marrying the Norton family, and I am even happy to see it happen. Said Grand Duke Fisabrun.

"Uh......" Lorist was surprised: "Your Royal Highness, you agreed?"

"Yes, I'm optimistic about you too, Locke, and you'll have to call me grandpa after you've decided on your family. Ha ha. Grand Duke Fisabrun laughed, "However, I'm curious, what price are the Norton family willing to pay to marry Celivia, the most precious pearl of our Fisabrun family?"

"Your Highness, please make it clear what you need, as long as we in the Norton family can do it, there is no ambiguity. Lorist slapped his chest.

"Okay, simply. I only have three requests. One, I ask the Norton family to assist our Fisabrun family in opening ten workshops in Makinoha Province, so that we can achieve self-sufficiency in daily necessities in the Fisabrun family's territory within two years, rest assured, we will not force you to open an ironworks, only daily necessities workshops, can you do it?"

Lorist nodded, "Yes." ”

Grand Duke Fisabrun's eagle-like eyes stared at Lorist tightly, and he stretched out his second finger: "Second, I want the standard equipment on your guards, ten thousand sets, without discounting." ”

Lorist smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness, even our own family has only produced three thousand sets of this set of standard equipment, and you will ask for ten thousand sets when you open your mouth, adding up to nearly two million gold fords, which is very troublesome." But for Princess Celevia's sake, I promise you!"

"Haha! Fisabrun laughed openly: "The last request is insignificant, Celivia is the treasure of our family, and I don't want her to be wronged a little bit in your family." In this case, you can drive away your original concubines and illegitimate children and let them leave the Norton family, lest Cilivia feel uncomfortable when she sees it. ”

...... (To be continued.) )
