Chapter 397: The Racecourse
The royal racecourse is located in the southern suburbs of the royal capital, occupying at least tens of thousands of acres of land, and the surrounding area has been arranged by Mario to build layers of stands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After His Majesty's luncheon, thousands of nobles are led to the stands, where a variety of small entertainment competitions such as wrestling, fighting, archery, etc., will be held for three days.
This is the best time for the nobles to compete for wealth and make friends, and for a time it is crowded and the atmosphere is high. The most lively is the gambling game opened by His Majesty the King himself, and the victory or defeat of each game will be clearly manifested in the gambling game, and then millions or even tens of millions of gold coins will flow from the pockets of some to the pockets of others with the end of the game.
Renault was not interested in these races, he was more concerned with the venue, so he and Mia conducted a field survey of the track that would be used in a few days.
Motorcycles do not have high requirements for the road surface, and even motorcycle races require some complicated roads to be interesting, and there are even motorcycle races held in muddy and mountainous areas.
But the car is not good, if the road is too potholed and soft, it will naturally not be able to run the desired effect.
Fortunately, after a long time at the racecourse, the trampling of countless horses has basically allowed cars to drive, but it is still far from the real track.
"Lord Renault," the guards came looking for him, "His Majesty the King asked why you didn't send someone to the game. ”
"We'll be right away. ”
Mia replied on her behalf, according to the custom, every nobleman at the celebration must send one or two people out to participate in the competition, win or lose, just want to be lively, otherwise how can the celebration be held for three days.
"I really don't have anything to attend. Renault shrugged helplessly, as he didn't have the right people to send out. Forget about the Black Iron Army, their profession is to kill people and set fires, and they may surprise everyone's eyes when they are used for wrestling races.
"I'm still going," Mia tugged at her arm and left, "Your Father's Majesty has named you, and it will make him unhappy not to go." ”
Renault was helpless, and when he came to the King's stand, there was a horse contest going on on the field.
This style of jousting Renault has seen on television before, two knights in heavy armor and helmets, riding horses with wooden spears to hedge, and trying to knock each other down the moment they meet.
This is a test of the knight's overall quality, and observation, speed, strength, and control of the horse are all indispensable.
Now on the field is a knight of a nobleman in the south, and a knight in the north who has won more than a dozen games in a row.
The Knight of the North is tall and burly, wearing black armor like a moving mountain. The war horse under his crotch is also a divine horse, and there are more than a dozen spare war horses waiting behind, it seems that Yale, the great lord of the north, is determined to win the first place in this year's horse competition.
"Renault, you now own the Western Prairie, why don't you send two knights out to try?" His Majesty said with a smile, "In the past horse competitions, the final victor belonged to the Western Prairie. ”
Renaud was helpless, he didn't know about this before, and he didn't have any preparations. Now the nobles who have been lost by the southern realm are looking at them eagerly, and they don't know whether to shirk or just pull two people to mean it.
"We'll arrange for someone to come right away. ”
In fact, Mia's mind has already flown here, she was only a few years old at the last celebration, and she may already be a mother at the next celebration, so only this celebration can she enjoy it and play crazy to her heart's content, so she did not hesitate to answer for Renault.
Seeing that the two of them were so close, His Majesty the King smiled and said nothing, causing the surrounding nobles to immediately catch an astonishing signal.
This Renault, I'm afraid he will soon join the royal family!
Mia suddenly realized that what she said just now had caused a big misunderstanding, and she blushed and dragged Renault and ran away.
"Where can I find the knight?" asked Renault as he ran.
"Just find two people," Mia's heart fluttered, her mind a little messed up, "or let Kevin go, I think he is more agile and powerful, and he will definitely be able to defeat that big guy." ”
"Kevin is practicing and Lauren is working on it. ”
"What then?" Mia became distressed, she was familiar with these two people in the Black Iron Army, and she was not at ease with the others, because the knights of the North looked very powerful, and I heard that they had not been defeated until now.
"Do you have to participate?" Renault puzzled, "or shall we wait for another competition?"
"No, the Horse Tournament is the most traditional competition, one of the highest honors of the celebration. ”
I didn't want any glory, Renault thought, and it could be seen that Mia really wanted to participate, so he casually called two Black Iron Army soldiers over.
"Lord Renault, do you want us to go to a martial arts competition?"
The two of them, one named Oba and the other named Prang, had been eager to try it for a long time, and now that they were pumped out, their faces were almost red with excitement.
"Are you two sure?" Although Renault didn't care about the game, he participated, and of course he could only win and not lose.
"Don't worry, Lord Renault, just now more than a dozen of our brothers who came with us have seen what we have to compare in the past few days, and the two of us are guaranteed to win all the games!"
"Hehe," Mia laughed at Oba's words, "Tomorrow we're going to fight the beasts, and you're going to take part too?"
Oba scratched his head a little embarrassed: "We have also studied this, it is okay to let the walking bird go on, and let Prang pretend to be a beast." ”
Renault was speechless, what kind of nonsense is this, the walking bird has a peaceful nature, and lacks a "weapon" for fighting, and let Prang pretend to be a beast? Do you think everyone is blind, although Prang himself is a little ugly, but it is still worse than a beast.
"You don't have to worry about the fighting beasts, I'll find a way. ”
So Mia led Oba and Prang to the king with joy, and when she saw that Renaud had sent out, all the nobles began to talk about it. These two black guys don't look big and belong to an extremely ordinary type, so many people are not optimistic.
"Come here," the king said, "the celebration is all about having fun, come and gamble with the nobles." ”
The king sits on the bank to gamble, which is probably only encountered at the ten-year celebration.
Renaud was not polite, and sat down beside the king with a big sting, and when he looked at the gold coins in the gambling game, he couldn't help but be speechless.
These nobles are so rich that they can drop millions of gold coins in a random victory or defeat field, and it is estimated that they are not ruthless in the face of His Majesty the King. If he had changed to another bookmaker, with the undefeated record of fifteen consecutive wins of the Northern Knights, I am afraid that he would have been accompanied by pants long ago.
"You have to think of a way for me in this one," then Mario on the side came over, "I have already lost eighteen million gold coins, although it is His Majesty's money, it is not good to lose too ugly." ”
Renault was stunned, it turned out that even if Mario was secretly manipulating, he couldn't stop the momentum of the Northern Knights, it seemed that this person was really violent.
"Don't worry, it's all my people who win next, you just have to give the odds boldly. ”
