On the banks of the Silvermoon River, hundreds of tents, stables, and carriages have transformed a vast meadow into a huge camp, where in addition to the knights and nobles and their servants, there are tens of thousands of civilians who have come to watch the jousting tournament. lā..

Soldiers in shiny chain mail, horses dressed in gold and silver, jubilant crowds, children running around the ground, bards in fancy costumes, jugglers performing hard, mercenaries with rude manners, hawkers shouting loudly, and bright banners fluttering in the wind...... Victor almost thought he was in a large playground.

The tournament is a grand event for the lord to select talents, but for the common people, it is a rare entertainment celebration. During the tournament, the boundary between nobles and commoners is no longer clear, and the contest between knights is also a wonderful performance. Now there was a large group of people on tiptoe and neck stretched, watching Victor's procession, mainly the Swift Bird.

The tall swift bird of the divine horse is indeed eye-catching. In normal times, the local residents of the Centaur Hills would have flashed aside when they saw the Swift Bird's light ride, but today, they are also caught among outsiders and judge the Swift Bird. However, after all, the swift bird is a land-walking bird of prey, with sharp eyes, an axe beak and huge claws, and a majestic appearance that looks very difficult to mess with, coupled with the danger of some local residents constantly selling the swift bird to outsiders, the onlookers spontaneously keep a distance from the swift bird, and dare not block Victor's way.

The Swift Bird rode like a pair of scissors to cut through the crowd, and soon arrived at the lord's tent area. The Yorkist guards opened the movable fence, and Victor's personal guards rushed in.

There were dozens of lord families participating in the tournament, and each family had similar tents, and they could only identify themselves by the coats of arms on their flags. Victor glanced over and saw three flags embroidered with the Silver Moon and the Nightingale, which were Wimbledon's family coat of arms.

Victor has no heir, the church cannot record the bloodline of the Randall family, and the Gambis Senate cannot confirm the legitimacy of the Randall family, which means that Victor's siblings have the inheritance of the Randall Domain. Therefore, Victor can only temporarily continue to use the silver moon coat of arms of the patrilineal family.

The other two flags represent the tents of the Marquis of Sophia and the Viscount of Solon, respectively.

Sophia has neither Wimbledon blood nor an heir, and her title is not secure. On the contrary, Sauron already has a territory and an heir, but he has not created a new family, and still retains the Wimbledon surname, which is somewhat intriguing.

The title of marquis of the court is the pinnacle of the nobility of the court, and the family of the marquis of the court has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and can only have hereditary fiefdoms, but cannot have independent fiefdoms. If the children of the family are canonized as lieges, they must renounce their title inheritance and start a new family.

Just imagine, the marquis family of the palace holds great power inside and expands the territory outside. Who's the master of the kingdom hundreds of years later?

Inheritance has never been a trivial issue. Wimbledon of Gambis, as a court marquis, also had to abandon their surnames and start their own new families when they were given fiefdoms. It was not his own will that Sauron could retain the Wimbledon family name, but a royal arrangement, the purpose of which was, of course, for Sauron to take back the title of Marquis of Wimbleton.

The family coats of arms are the same, but their positions are different. Victor was able to tell who was the owner of the tent by its location. The camp next to the Auguste family tent must have belonged to Sauron, the one next to the York family tent was naturally Randall's tent, and the remaining green tent stood alone in the northwest corner, helpless as Sophia was in now.

Victor rode the swift bird to Sophia's camp, and the lords of the House of York did not disturb him, and there were countless pairs of eyes watching his every move secretly.

Anyone who visits Sophia will attract the attention and suspicion of various families, but Victor, as Sophia's husband, goes to his wife's camp as a matter of course, and it is not the turn of others to dictate.

Compared to other forces, Centaur Hills has an unparalleled advantage in wooing Sophia.

More than 300 meters away from Sophia's tent, Victor suddenly grabbed Swiftbird.

"My lord, what do you command?" asked the one-eyed dragon Gru, leaning over and cautiously.

The Randall family needs an heir, and if there is no heir, they need a noble mistress, and the vassals of the Randall family are very much looking forward to the return of the viscountess, but Victor's entanglement with Sophia has long been no secret. Lilia didn't want to see Nelson hated by Victor or Sophia for saying the wrong thing, and the little woman's advice to her brother and sister-in-law had spread throughout the families of the members of the system.

Sophia is beautiful, rich and connected, and Victor is quite satisfied with this wife, but he suddenly thought of one thing: he can't beat Sophia at all.

If a man can't beat his beautiful wife, will he still want her? Most men will definitely want her, but if she can stab someone to death with one finger, will any man dare to ask her? Most of them are still not afraid of death...... But you have a lot of lovers outside, why do you dare to ask her? I am afraid that there is no other security except for her to fall in love with you completely.

Victor and Sylvia are together, the Ignorant and Fearless, he and Nicole have a deep emotional foundation, and Gillian has exposed her weakest side to Victor. Sophia is completely different from these women, she is a great knight who has gone through the trials of life and death, and no one can scare her, not even Sylvia. Even if Sophia doesn't kill Victor, if she wants to leave, Victor can't keep her.

If Victor wants to get Sophia, he must capture her heart, but Sophia is not an ignorant girl, she has betrayed the little baron, and she has a sense of guilt for Victor, if Victor is so eager to see her, fools know that he doesn't care.

Victor had just heard Sophia talking to a woman, but now the tent had become silent, and they were clearly aware of it. Victor felt that he should continue to play the role of victim, and he tugged at the reins, urging Swiftbird towards Viscount Negus's camp.

The curtain of the green tent was lifted, and Sophia and a beautiful lady stepped out.

This woman has delicate facial features, tall and fit, and a rare blue hair only reaches her ears, looking heroic and neat, she stared at Victor's back and laughed: "Sophie, is that your husband? ”

"Princess Angel, Victor is not a little man now...... Sophia retracted her complicated gaze, rolled her eyes at her friend, and said angrily: "Moreover, you didn't see his face at all." ”

Princess Angel licked her upper lip and said with a charming smile: "The Moon Elf bloodline nobles have always been known for their beauty, do I still need to doubt his appearance? The most important thing is that the Moon Elf bloodline nobles are not a threat to us, and they are very easy to seduc, so it will be very reassuring to live with such a partner. It's a pity that he doesn't seem to forgive you, and I guess he must have gone to find a lover to demonstrate to you. ”

"Leave him alone. Sophia shook her hair and said, "Angel, what do you think of my proposal just now?"

Angel said: "Dear Sophie, I can guarantee that Halberd City and the Duchy of Teutoni will protect the interests of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, but you should know that the position of the Sassan Empire towards the major chambers of commerce will not change, including the South Wind Chamber of Commerce of the Borui Kingdom, you want us to follow the example of the Kingdom of Duoduo and secretly attack the South Wind Merchant Group, which is almost impossible." ”

Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "Anna, the Kingdom of Duoduo wants to negotiate terms with me, what kind of demands do you think they will make?"

Angel stared at Sophia's eyes, Sophia did not back down, the two looked at each other for a moment, Angel shook her head and said, "Sophie, even if you join the Kingdom of Duoduo, we will not change our position." After a pause, she smiled and said, "Do you know what's the problem?"

"I'm listening. ”

"Because, anyone can become a business aristocrat, and you are too easily replaced. Angel further explained: "Sasan needs the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, but not necessarily Sophia's Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce. If you fall to Dord, we will cut off trade with the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, and in order for the Chamber of Commerce to survive, it must find a new master, who can only be the nobles of the kingdoms of Gambis, Seuss, and Borui, and you will become the lord of Dordor instead. ”

"If I were Friedrich, Your Majesty would not have solicited you. It doesn't make sense to do so, but rather provokes a full-scale war. Barbarians are not fools, they will not easily get involved in the struggle of the human kingdom. Elder Harald had been watching jousting tournaments in the Pope's company these days, and knightly jousting seemed to him child's play, but he still had the patience to visit them, which showed that the barbarians were eager to understand humanity and that they needed allies as well. In that case, why didn't Arret choose to ally with a powerful neighbor and instead choose the remote southern kingdom?"

"Truth be told, you're not as important as you think, at least not to sway the will of the barbarians. Angel sighed and said, "Dear Sophie, I say this, I hope you don't get angry." ”

"No, Angel, you are my true friend, and I appreciate your outspokenness. But I'm really not reconciled......"

Sophia's eyebrows frowned slightly, her sad and beautiful face was heartbreaking, and Angel couldn't help but persuade: "Sophie, staying in the centaur hills is your best choice." You help Sylvia build a port, and with the Borui people in the east to contain the main force of the barbarian kingdom, once Sylvia is ready, the army of Gambis will cross the river and go south, and it is not delusional to occupy a vast land. You can also use Harald's power to help Sylvia expand her territory, and Sylvia's power to help Harald find relics. With such merit, combined with a noble spouse, you and Victor are enough to start a Duke's family. Isn't that as good as a mere chamber of commerce?"

Sophia nodded silently, and said with a smile: "You're right. Therefore, I can still be willful for a while, but if I can't do it, I will be Victor's wife with peace of mind. ”

Angel was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled, "Sophie, you are really stubborn...... Forget it, it's about your knighthood, and no one can twist your will, only you can change your guardian beliefs. ”

Sophia pursed her lips and said disappreciatively: "I didn't think about it that much at all, I just wanted to protect my Chamber of Commerce, if I didn't even have the courage to try, why should I pursue the power of the Elemental Sea?"

"Whatever you want...... Hey, isn't that Lord Tournans?Who is that man beside him?Why is he saluting Victor?" Princess Angel asked abruptly.

Sophia glanced up and said, "That's Lord Nelson, a fierce warrior under Victor, who is said to have the strength of the Silver Rank. As both fierce warriors, it is not surprising that he and Tournans walked together. ”

"So, the Randall family has three silver-rank powerhouses? Sophie, if you complete the barbarian's commission, the Randall family will also have a golden berserker and two silver-rank weapon masters...... This strength is really enviable. Angel said with a smile, and suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't the direction where Victor is going, the camp of Viscount Negus, the archbearer of the Kingdom of Duoduo?"

Sophia saw Victor enter Viscount Negus's tent with Tournans and Nelson, her eyes suddenly froze, and after thinking for a moment, she bowed her head apologetically to Princess Angel: "Angel, I'm sorry, I should take the initiative to accompany my husband and visit the neighbors." I lost my company first. ”

With that, Sophia strode towards Viscount Negus's tent.

"My lord, I'm here, wait for me!"

Victor grabbed Swiftbird and turned his head to see Nelson striding over with a man in a priest's robe.

The man dressed as a priest was bald and browless, his bronzed skin was shiny, and his whole body was as heavy as copper and iron, but his steps were light and vigorous, and his speed was as fast as a galloping horse, but it seemed to be a leisurely stroll. Heavy and light, fast and leisurely, there is a surprising harmony in his body.

Bald and browless?Like to pretend to be a priest?Isn't this the legendary paladin Turnans?

Victor jumped off the swift bird, and Nelson and the paladin were already in front of him.

"My lord, let me introduce you. Nelson patted the paladin on the shoulder and said excitedly: "This is Priest Tournans, he is also a fierce warrior, his strength is much greater than mine, I have never won a wrist break with him!"

The difference in strength between you and him is like the gap between the Silver Knight and Sylvia......

Victor rolled his eyes in his heart and took the initiative to salute the legendary paladin: "Good day, Lord Tournans. ”

Turnans nodded reservedly, with a solemn and sacred expression, and said, "May my lord guide your path." After speaking, he looked at Victor with curious eyes.

Victor is also curious about Tournans, who is highly regarded by Sylvia as the first paladin and is a strong man alongside the three legendary knights.

What Victor admires most about Tournans is not his strength and divine skills, but his divine martial arts. Sylvia showed Victor the skills of Tournans to exercise the power of the mind - one hand blossoms, and bluntly stated that if Victor could do it, he could reach the realm of legends.

It was only after Victor's own experiments that he realized how great Tournans was. By vibrating the stems to cause the buds to bloom, it is a test of meticulous power control skills. Victor has -3 and can't make the petals bloom continuously, and Tournans is ten times stronger than Victor, but he perfectly harnesses the power of the powerful to reach an unbelievable realm. You must know that Turnans is not an extraordinary knight, in fact, a golden knight who is one body and mind and has insight into elemental changes cannot do this, but a fierce warrior can.

Tournans erected a benchmark: it turns out that mortals can also surpass the level of the Golden Knight in psychic power through training.

Looking at Tournans up close, Victor was surprised to find that his heart rate was very slow, pulsating every .4 seconds, indicating that his physical function and longevity were far beyond that of mortals. Moreover, his breathing was long and thin, and the air between his noses could only enter and exit. Through his keen perception of the breeze, Victor senses that the pores around Tournans are ventilating, which is precisely the appearance of "the unity of heaven and man" described by the golden toad's secret form.

Faced with such a figure, Victor resisted the urge to probe the elemental properties so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and he also counted on Turnans to guide Nelson to complete the fusion of the two secret forms and vibrational secret methods.

"I'm going to visit Viscount Negus, Priest Tournans, do you want to go together?" Victor smiled and invited.

Turnans' eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, what are you going to talk about?"

"It's just a visit to the neighbors, and it's not necessarily about what to talk about. Victor said as he walked.

Tournans followed Victor and nodded to himself: "Well, it's better to talk about the two lords when they meet." I will bear witness for you. ”

Victor laughed and said nothing, who still didn't know Tournans's hobbies.

At this time, Viscount Negus had already come out, and there was a handsome and tall young man with black hair and black eyes beside him.

"Negus has seen Master Tournans. ”

"Sauron has seen Master Turnans. ”

Satisfied, Turnans coughed lightly and said, "May our lord guide you in the right direction." ”

"Victor, I was about to visit you, and it was my honor to have you here. Viscount Negus said with a smile.

"Lord Negus, you are too gracious. Victor nodded, and said to his brother, "Your Excellency Sauron, I didn't expect to see you here. ”

"Victor, the last time we met was at your and Sophia's wedding, almost 8 years ago. Sauron politely put it on.

"8 years, months and 7 days. Victor said lightly.

Sauron choked slightly, nodded with a smile: "Time flies so fast, let's wait for Marquis Sophia." ”

Several people looked to the east at the same time, only to see Sophia wearing a well-fitting hunting suit, purple hair tied into a ponytail, one step across a distance of four meters, light steps, elegant demeanor, and in an instant, approaching. Before she could speak, Tournans preemptively said, "May our lord guide you in the direction." ”

"Uh...... Good day, Lord Tournans. Sophia reluctantly gave a knightly salute to the paladin.

"Nelson has seen Madame. Nelson stepped forward to greet the family's mother.

"Lord Nelson doesn't have to be polite. Sophia nodded, grabbed Victor's arm, and said intimately: "Honey, you visit the neighbors, how can you miss me on this occasion?"

Looking at Sophia's beautiful eyes, Victor squirmed his lips, not knowing what to say. Negus invited with a false hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are a little dazzling outside, so let's go in and talk." ”

Two famous fierce warriors, three peak silver knights, and a rare popular marksman, representing the four major forces, are indeed a bit eye-catching when they come together. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Victor and the others, and it was not until they disappeared behind the curtain that the tent area returned to calm, but secretly there were many speculations and calculations.
