Chapter 112: The Oracle Battlefield
"Has Sumer already left?" said the Marquis, returning to the arena stands, to Lu Sien, who was lazily leaning back in his chair beside him.
"Yes, sir. He had already decided to go back to the principality. Lu Sien's expression was still a little dazed, and the weakness after losing his strength always made it difficult for him to concentrate, so he replied to the marquis's question weakly, "By the way, he also asked me to convey to you that he will find an opportunity to repay you for the favor of that peso." ”
The Marquis's face darkened, but he had already decided that if he chose Lu Sien as his ally, it was not suitable for him to make any radical remarks at this moment. At least after Lu Sien gained his battlefield prestige, the marquis also gained a limited amount of prestige for deeds, not much, about the same as the harvest after two or three battles in which he personally led his troops to clear the mountain people.
Compared to his expectations, it was a far cry. Moreover, the marquis is also very troubled by Lu Sien's temperament, and a lot of the output in Lu Sien's territory is a commodity that he urgently needs, judging from Lu Sien's temperament these days, in the foreseeable future, the marquis will have a very painful life for a long time in the future.
"Hmph, it's just a peso, even if it's Sir yourself, you don't look at it. "The marquis snorted a haha.
"Well, you can't say that, this is the Sumerian knight's life-saving money, and the pesos given by the Marquis is much more than the same price given by ordinary people. "Probably really tired, Lu Sien is now speaking very casually, completely without the idea that he has to go through it in his head several times without saying a word before, who called the Marquis to pull him here to watch the official opening of the athletic conference.
To be honest, Lu Sien is really sleepy now, of course, his stomach is full of resentment, but the marquis doesn't understand this. When he saw Lu Sien again after hearing Barlow's briefing, he was very surprised by the latter's lively appearance, and unconsciously increased the weight of Lu Sien in his heart, or maybe he was afraid of it.
Judging by the big Ben wall clock in the Marquis's castle, the time was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. The duel between Rusin and Sumer began at 10 o'clock in the morning, around that time. It's just that Lu Sien dealt with the injury later, and the marquis also had to send someone to rearrange the arena venue, which delayed a lot of time.
There is no surprise in what happened next, the knights from the knight camps entrenched in various parts of the Bucks Territory, as well as some knights from the surrounding territories who came to try their luck, will continue to compete in the next three days, and after finally deciding a winner, he can choose to keep his runner-up glory or further challenge Lu Sien.
Because after Lu Sien fought with Sumer, he had already become the champion candidate of this athletic tournament by default, and he only needed to win and lose with these knights selected by the sea in the end. If an alien knight wins the championship, he will receive a prize of 2,000 dinars from the Marquis, as well as a low-level weapon of the bronze rank.
This championship is very attractive, because of such and such special reasons (in fact, because of Lu Sien's presence, the marquis's face project), the knights under the marquis did not play, you know, in the past competitions, Sir Barlow generally does not participate in the competition, he has always been the champion candidate of the athletic conference, plus a big knight is always needed to guard the marquis's candle workshop.
So basically, the top six in every athletic conference are the marquis's own people, well, even if an alien wild knight unexpectedly appears in the middle, after the athletic conference is over, he will also become the marquis's own person.
After all, the main purpose of the athletic conference is not to separate a competitive champion. At this time of the year, it was the time when the marquis was to accurately clear the mountain people, and the purpose of the athletic conference was to gather the free forces in the territory, including the surrounding areas, in Law, and select a part of the reserve seeds of his knights, as well as the first wave of cannon fodder to deal with the mountain people.
This year, because of Lu Sien's relationship, the vitality of the tribe on the mountain has been greatly damaged, but there is no need to send troops, but the annual athletic conference has become a tradition in the Bucks territory, and it is impossible to cancel it directly, and even said that when the athletic conference has not been officially determined whether to be held, many knights have already rushed over to prepare early.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of building a knight camp in the wilderness and exercising hard every day, isn't it all to show your face and mix an iron rice bowl at this time.
And after this year's opener, the knights who came here also discovered that Lu Sien is also a knight worth following.
To sum up the above reasons, since Lu Sien has become a champion candidate, he also did not send his knight Ji to participate in ordinary competitions, or that sentence, the girls' combat power is more than his, if you go up, it is too bullying, and the girls are not interested in this kind of weightless competition.
So, when Sir Barlow offered his advice to Lusen, Lusin just tilted his head and replied like this.
"Hmm, in that case, wouldn't it give people a sense of admiration?"
Sir Barlow shook his head and left speechlessly, since it was Lu Sien's will, he had nothing to say, and he also had no position to express Lu Sien's idea, it was really too young, too simple.
Because in the case of the Marquis Knight's non-play, for the remaining players, the champion of the game is completely hand-to-hand, and there is no need to arrange those routines. By the way, there are a total of 64 knights who have obtained official quotas through auditions, and they are knights of the same age.
However, there is still a team competition on the second day, and Lu Sien will still lead the knight Ji to beat the children, because the champion of the team competition will also have 20 points of deeds and prestige.
Because of a peso, the marquis didn't have any desire to talk to Lu Sien at the moment, and watched these knights come on the field with a blank face, ready to announce the official start of the game.
The Marquis was now complaining in his own heart, and he regretted a little that he had called this little bastard to sit with him.
However, Lu Sien really had his reason for agreeing to the marquis to come, otherwise, no matter what, he would have to go back to the inn to rest, since the marquis had already warmed up, he himself would not open his mouth politely, but in his heart, there were still a lot of questions.
"That's right, sir. Lu Sien suddenly spoke, as if he had just remembered. "One more thing, I have some questions. ”
"Hmm?" the corner of the marquis's eyes jumped, and he couldn't understand Lu Sien's thoughts.
"When Sumer was leaving, he told me that when he returned, he would set foot on the oracle battlefield. Lu Sien said casually on the surface, "It seems like this is the first time I've heard this. Can you tell me more about that?"
"Uh~" The marquis hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, before he slowly spoke. "Well, you didn't have enough information to get these things, but now that the Sumerians have recognized that you have the potential to become a nobleman, I'll sell you a favor. ”
"I want to hear about it. Lu Sien looked very interested.
"But before that. The Marquis stared at Lu Sien's eyes with a serious face, looked at Lu Sien with a hairy face, and said word by word, "You must swear under your banner that you will not hear the slightest news about this matter from your mouth from any civilian!"
"Well, I swear!" Lu Sien swore very cheerfully, and his expression was very serious, although he looked very casual on the surface, but Lu Sien couldn't help but pay attention to it, after all, his father and brother were still there.
"It's a marginal place in this world. "Seeing that Lu Sien made a valid oath, and the marquis did not sell it, these things, as long as Lu Sien reached that level, it was only a matter of time before he understood these things, "There is a constant struggle all day long, and the fighting between the warriors and the invading alien races has never stopped for a moment. ”
"Alien?" Lu Sien obviously grasped the key word, but he still couldn't figure it out for a while.
"You've heard those third-rate tavern tales," the Marquis continued, "orcs, dwarves, elves, dragons......
"Damn!" Lu Sien was dumbfounded, unable to describe the power of the desolation in his heart, and almost bounced off the chair.
"Of course, it's not as exaggerated as the story. The Marquis couldn't help but smile, very satisfied with Lu Sien's reaction, "But our enemies, mainly orcs, are right, occasionally encounter scattered pointed ears, well, if you can capture them, it is worth a lot of money, in many places of the empire, an elf can be exchanged for a small manor." The Marquis's smile was a little strange.
"Is my father in danger?"
"Well, yes, it seems that your father and brother did join the Grand Duke's army. The marquis suddenly realized, and then his expression changed, "Well, about the mines above your territory, I know you have some speculation now, before that, the Grand Duke needs to control your father's inheritance, it is estimated that the old Cabas has no chance to go to war, but after Sumer returns, everything will be uncertain." "The marquis's heart is silent, yes, there is also the oracle battlefield, I am still here with this little bastard, it is estimated that it will not be long before this little bastard will also set foot on the oracle battlefield.
Seeing that Lu Sien fell into deep thought, the marquis continued to speak, "Alas, this is the obligation of every continent noble, to tell you, my brother, he is also stationed on that battlefield, and when the athletic conference is over, I will ask him to take care of your father, but well, you should also understand these things, some things, it is better to prepare in advance." ”
"Hmm~" Lu Sien nodded, he didn't say anything more, the marquis's words were a bit informative, and he still had to take a good look at it.
