Miss Rabbit went out in high spirits early in the morning and came to the martial arts arena, but she didn't have her turn after waiting all morning.

Fortunately, at noon, the food was in charge of the meal, and the food was not bad.

The girl cooked a bowl of stewed deer steaks, half a chicken pie, and two pieces of raisin custard, but she didn't touch the beer stewed rabbit.

I felt like my throat was up, so I rested for a while and ate a butter apple before the waiter cleaned up the table.

Ferdinand couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her, "It really doesn't matter if you're like this, don't you have to play in the afternoon?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small scene, I, Hiccup- it won't make a difference, Hiccup-"

“…………”

"I'll go get you something to drink."

"Well, that's fine."

The female lord drank some mead, felt a little smoother, and then sighed with emotion.

"I know why everyone wants to come to the royal capital, Hiccup - there is a lot more to eat than in the West, and there are martial arts tournaments to watch, but ......

"But I don't know why, the big guys I've met these days who live here, hiccup—they don't look very happy."

"It's because they usually think about a lot of things." "They're not like us, they're bigger in territory, they're more populous, and of course they're in more trouble. ”

】

"But that's what it's all about eating, isn't it, it makes you forget about those worries for a while."

Because of the mead, the girl's cheeks were dyed with a surging flush.

"Don't just enjoy the food and forget about the business." The head of the Bathory family reminded.

"You are the dragon slaying hero personally appointed by His Majesty, the fourth female knight of the empire, many pairs of eyes are staring at you, once you perform unsatisfactorily in the martial arts competition, I am afraid that there will be many people waiting to fall into the well."

The female lord was about to speak, when suddenly her eyes darkened.

But the sunlight was blocked by a long-faced man, dressed as a typical knight, wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist, but the most striking thing was the pair of ears on the top of his head.

It's shorter than Miss Rabbit's, and there are black and white patterns at the base of the ears.

"May I ask if you are Sir Yin Leia?" The man spoke.

"You are ......"

"Cautious José, son of Flying Foot Bals, from the Werner family......"

"I know the Werner family, you were originally vassals of the Weting family."

Hearing the female lord mention that name, an unnatural look flashed across José's face, "We now owe allegiance to the Drummond family. ”

"Well, do you have something to do with me? Sir José, hiccup—"

"Just come over and say hello, I'm your next rival." Jose held his head high.

"I've long wanted to learn how powerful the Dragon Slayer Knight is, and I hope you can hold on to my sword for a little longer, so that I can show Your Majesty and the rest of the audience my excellent martial arts."

"Uh...... What's your name? ”

"Jose, remember the name, because this trip to the tournament will stop here."

"No, I mean the nickname you had earlier, everyone calls you cautious Jose, but you don't look cautious at all." Miss Rabbit wondered.

Jose's eyes were cold when he heard this, "You should be glad that you are a woman, otherwise based on what you just said, I will kill you when you compete later." ”

"Wow, are you threatening me?" The female lord's eyes widened.

"So what?" Jose snorted coldly, "I'm waiting for the martial arts arena, but even if the martial arts are up and running, that foreign god of yours can't protect you." ”

"Forget it about offending me, you really should have a little more respect for Saturday." The girl said solemnly.

Jose disagreed, "I will prove to everyone that jousting is a matter between men, and you don't belong here." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the female lord to answer, he turned around and strode away.

Miss Rabbit hiccups again and asks Ferdinand on the side, "Is this pre-match part of the harsh talk that everyone has, or is it just ......?"

"Just for you." The head of the Bathory family said, "That opponent of mine didn't say anything to me before he started. ”

After a pause, he added, "But it can also have something to do with personality." ”

"Good, I'm starting to get angry." The female lord moved her wrist and fingers.

"I'm going to take him in one round."

After a while, when the contest in front of him was over, the referee finally called the girl's name.

Miss Rabbit, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately walked to the center of the venue with Ge Lipeng.

José and his attendant knights soon arrived, and the referee who presided over the contest checked first and confirmed that neither side of the contest was carrying crossbows or poison.

The referee was visibly stunned when he saw the three dueling pistols and a flintlock axe pinned to the female lord's waist, but he didn't say anything when he inquired and learned that there were no missing arrows inside.

After that, Jose and Yin Leia separated again and walked to one end of the arena.

Here Ge Lipeng helped the female lord complete the final firearm check, and loaded the gunpowder and bullets, and after doing all this, he silently stepped aside.

On the other hand, Jose also made all the preparations and turned over.

The referee looked at the girl again, and couldn't help but ask again, "Sir Yin Leia, where is your horse?" ”

"I don't need a horse." Miss Rabbit said confidently.

Although she learned to ride a horse on the way from the green field to the royal capital, she was limited to being able to ride, and she didn't even think about fighting on horseback or something.

Moreover, firing a gun requires the arm to be as stable as possible, and dismounting can be more accurate.

"Are you sure you're just going to meet the enemy on foot?" The referee seemed to have some difficulty understanding the girl's choice, after all, the cavalry still had a great advantage over the infantry.

He had presided over a morning of jousting, and it was the first time he had seen someone put themselves at a disadvantage in the first place.

"I'm sure." The female lord nodded affirmatively.

"Well, I'll announce the ...... of the competition."

"Wait." Then Miss Rabbit spoke again, "Can I say a few more words to Sir Jose before the fight begins?" ”

"If necessary......"

"Yes, yes," the female lord took a few steps forward, put her hands to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted at her opponent on the other side.

"Surrender, while it's still too late, as long as you surrender now, and repent of your previous offense, I'll spare your life, or else there will be divine punishment that awaits you.

"I will use a terrifying force that you have never seen before to defeat you, first your horse will die violently, and then your left leg will be injured and become a cripple.

"At this point, if you are still obsessed, hum, then don't blame me for taking your life. Okay, I'm done. ”

The girl said to the stunned referee.
