Chapter 135: The Crow Who Got His Wish
The four-day tournament has eliminated a number of people, including many masters like Ferdinand.
As a result, the remaining contestants are generally stronger, and the discussion about the ownership of the championship has become more and more intense, and people who are fighting for it can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
The happiest are the large and small casinos in the city, because there are more and more gamblers who come to place bets, the casinos are crowded every day, and from time to time you can see some servants of large families coming in and out of them.
And the amount of bets placed by the masters behind them, each one can probably make ordinary people jaw-dropping, as the game progresses, of course, some people are happy and some are worried, and the odds have almost been changing.
At the top of the list is still the Earth Bears, who continue to lead the way with an almost overwhelming strong performance.
But the second place has changed from the Silver Knight to Yin Leia.
This little-known nobleman from the Western Realm was first known for her great achievements in slaying dragons, and this time her performance in the tournament also slapped those doubters in the face.
You must know that when Miss Rabbit first arrived in the royal capital, the voice of doubt about her also reached its peak.
Because everyone found that she didn't have the burly and strong physique in the drama, that small body didn't look like it could withstand a few punches at all, let alone the claws of the dragon, and it was obviously known as Roshan.
Even if she later brought down the three young servant knights of the Royal Knights, which made the doubts less a bit, most people were still not optimistic that she would be able to go too far in this tournament.
But then she won four games in a row, and except for the one that dragged on a little longer with the Golden Fly, she won the remaining three competitions very simply.
Her last opponent, the Sword of Daybreak of the Grafsons, was wounded in her battle and went to seek healing from the Church of Life, where the Priest of Cornelia sent one of his men to stop the bleeding on the spot.
According to the people around the Sword of Daybreak, his stomach was still very painful, and soon after returning to his residence, he died with a whimper.
This incident still caused some sensations, and the opponents who had fought Yin Leiya before also said that it was difficult for them to recover because of bone injuries.
Only then did the big guy realize that the female lord who seemed harmless to humans and animals was actually quite dark, not much worse than the Earth Bear.
This made the hearts of those who were going to fight her next also feel uncomfortable, the pipe that would emit fire and loud noises was difficult enough, let alone the sudden white smoke.
To be sure, the Sword of Daybreak had been prepared sufficiently, but it still cost its life, and the others couldn't think of any clever way to defeat the female lord for a while.
But the problem is that admitting defeat without even fighting is a bit unreasonable.
In addition to the mercenaries who don't care about honor, the nobles who participate in the competition still have to care about face, they can't just think about themselves, but also take care of the family behind them.
Cowardice before a fight is a very shameful act for the aristocracy.
This puts some people in a dilemma, fighting, possibly dying, or crippling. If you don't fight, you can't do it.
The crow is panicking right now.
He used to go with his friends to find trouble with the female lord, but he was attacked by an old comrade who didn't speak of martial virtues, and he was beaten up.
Later, because of the assassins, Yin Leiya simply ignored them, the crow couldn't hold it on his face, and when he left, he put a threatening word.
said that he hoped to learn the martial arts of the female lord again at the martial arts competition.
No, isn't that a wish about to come true, and the crow almost didn't cry when he learned that he would be the opponent of Roshan in the next battle.
It's a pity not tears of excitement.
He was still young, and he didn't want to hang up so early, and he didn't want to suffer any injuries that would be difficult to recover, so he had to leave the Royal Order.
Although it is a little difficult for him to become a regular now, it is impossible for Edward II not to canonize new knights for the rest of his life.
Didn't His Majesty the Emperor still take a fancy to that guy named Ferdinand before, and wanted him to become the head of the sub-group, after the toss, he should always be able to think of them, and even if Edward II planned to continue to lose his memory, other noble families would remind him.
In short, the crow feels that his future is still quite bright, provided that he can get through the current difficulty.
And just when he was worried about the next competition, the thin monkey found him and gave him an idea.
"What, you said I should go and ask Roshan?" The crow's face was a little uncomfortable.
"It's not to beg, it's to discuss with her, let her put some water a little, don't be ruthless, otherwise you will be wasted if you don't die." "You can move out of your family and scare her." ”
"Can this work?"
The crow was skeptical, and if Yin Leia was really afraid of the family behind him like everyone else, she wouldn't be so unkind to them that night.
"Then give some more money, I heard that Roshan likes money a lot, you pay some money, and then pretend to fight with her, and finally lose and be defeated by her, anyway, it will not affect the final result, she will definitely agree."
The crow was a little moved by what he said, "That...... How much do you think it will cost? ”
"Roshan is just a small nobleman in the western realm, and her appetite shouldn't be too big, but she should have received some rewards for her success in slaying dragons before, and she has a bit of a family background, I think that seven or eight hundred golden lions will always be needed, and you can directly give her a thousand for the sake of insurance."
"A thousand golden lions, that's not a small amount." Although the crow was born in a big family, he was not the eldest son, and the amount he could withdraw was limited, plus he usually had a lot of communication and entertainment, and he spent money quickly, and he didn't have much money around.
I can't take that much for a while.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, the thin monkey patted his chest and said, "You don't have to worry about money, if it's not enough, a few brothers will make it up for you, and we've been friends for so long, we can't watch you die." ”
Hearing him say this, the crow was not only not moved, but asked with a sinking face, "Who told you to come to me?" ”
The smile on the thin monkey's face was a little stiff, "No, no one, it's just that we're worried about you." ”
"Huh."
Born in the royal capital, and from a big aristocratic family, the crow knew nothing about the shady means among the nobles, and as soon as the thin monkey opened his mouth, he smelled a smell of conspiracy.
Contacting Mad Dog and Blue Rose before suggesting trouble with Yin Leia and maintaining the honor of the Royal Knights, it is clear that there is an invisible hand behind this that has been secretly pushing things forward.
Seeing that the crow hadn't spoken, the thin monkey urged again, "The competition is about to start, and it won't be too late if you don't go to Roshan." ”
"Bring the money," the crow finally made up his mind, "a thousand golden lions, all from you." ”
