Although Ireya has won four rounds of competition and is also the favorite to win the championship, she has not yet had time to completely change her mentality. Raccoon

is always thinking about how to make a fortune and run, and unlike gold flies, crows are also from famous families.

If this kind of private transaction breaks out, as the party who pays the money, his reputation will be completely ruined, and the money is not spent to win the competition, but to buy a less ugly result of losing.

When this kind of thing is exposed, he will definitely not want to mix in the royal capital in the future, and as for the Royal Knights, they will not want such a tainted subordinate knight.

So Ilea didn't expect the crow to use this method to trap her in the first place.

Miss Rabbit was immediately shocked, "I don't have a big enmity with him, isn't it just that he was beaten up, and he needs to lose his future and kick me out of the tournament?"

"And this guy is hiding too deeply, and he wanted to frame me through a goldfly before, if it weren't for my distress...... No, it's like a torch, isn't it already out of the game now?!"

"I think Bryan-sama is probably being calculated." Ruby said, "Because like you said, it's not good for him to really get this thing exposed." Raccoon

"So this is the black hand of the Church of Life again?"

"This...... I don't know for sure, but I think Priest Cornelia would prefer you to match the Earth Bear, so that she can get rid of you directly with the Earth Bear's hand, once and for all."

When the female lord heard this, she was blindsided again, "If it's not the Church of Life, who else can it be, I haven't offended anyone else in the royal capital, except for Geoff...... But that dead liar shouldn't be that capable.

"Forget it, the joust is about to begin," Ilea didn't have time to worry about this kind of thing for the time being, and took Ruby's hand sincerely.

"Thank you for reminding me, Charlene. I'm so lucky to have met you!"

Ruby was a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Because she knew in her heart that she did not meet the female lord "by accident", she was secretly guarding Ilea on Li Yu's orders. Raccoon

Just last night, Li Yu chatted with her for a while, with masters like Jude and Thomas, as well as strong foreign aid such as Wilder, plus the recent firepower of motion sensors and rabbits.

Li Yu is actually not too worried about Ilea's personal safety, but this is Lionheart, the political and power center of the empire, and what is more dangerous is the conspiracy and calculations lurking in the shadows.

In the face of this threat, Jude and the others together are not as useful as one Ruby.

The female lord finished speaking, and was about to reject Brian's servant who was anxiously waiting for a reply, but was stopped by Ruby, "Lord Ilea."

"Huh?"

"Actually, there is a way, even if you can't find out who is behind the scenes, you can make them pay a bigger price, and you can continue to participate in the tournament."

"What's the solution?" Raccoon

"Take that money and agree to Lord Brian's request." Ruby said.

…………

Seeing that the contest was about to begin, the crow was walking around in the tent, looking uneasy.

From time to time, he would look into the entrance of the tent, and just as he was about to lose his patience, he finally saw his servant return from outside.

But the latter's face looked a little strange, and when he saw him like this, the crow's heart sank, "Didn't she agree?"

"Yes, yes, but ......" the servant stumbled.

"But what?" Raccoon

"Mistress Ilea has temporarily tripled the price."

The crow was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment, he couldn't help but be furious, "Four thousand golden lions, and I still buy them to lose?!!! Is she a fat sheep to be slaughtered to death?"

After speaking, the crow's anger did not subside, but he saw that his servant wanted to speak and stopped.

"What, did she make any other requests?"

"Not really, Lady Ilea just guessed that you might be too expensive, and said you could

I can't afford to pay for it."

"And this kind of good thing?" For a moment, the crow even felt a hint of guilt, feeling that she might have blamed the female lord.

But then I listened to the servant, "If she says something like this, then it will be normal for the rest of the day, and I hope you can admit defeat sooner, otherwise you may not be able to save one leg." Raccoon

When the crow heard this, she laughed angrily, "Well, well, she really loves money as much as rumored."

"Do you want me to reject her?" The servant also felt that the asking price was too harsh.

But when the crow heard this, he fell silent again, and after a moment he said, "Although four thousand golden lions are not a small amount of money, they are not as important as my legs."

He gritted his teeth, "Promise her, but you tell her that I only have a thousand on hand, and I have to owe the rest of the money first, and I will give it to her when I raise it in a few days, and I can write an IOU first."

The servant nodded, and seeing that the crow had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more, and hurried to the female lord with the money.

And shortly after the two sides finalized the deal, the competition began.

The crow was still a little trembling when he came up, in order to show his sincerity, he even took off the armor outside, and only wore a cloth armor, and he definitely couldn't carry the terrifying weapon that could kill people invisibly on the other side. Raccoon

But fortunately, the female lord did not pull out her flintlock pistol as soon as she came up, but just stood there and looked at him with a smile.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the crow always felt that there seemed to be some sarcasm in the girl's smile, and when he thought that he had been blackmailed with four thousand golden lions, his heart hurt even more.

He didn't have any fighting spirit, he drew his sword and pretended to test a few times, and as soon as he saw the female lord's hand close to his waist, he couldn't help but shiver and quickly retreated.

After a few times, the crow probably didn't think it was interesting, so he took the initiative to rush up, and asked Ilea to ask for the artifact that could summon thunder again, and flipped him to the ground.

The crow tried to get up several times, but as soon as he was halfway up, he was about to be electrocuted again, and fell to the ground again, and then struggled to get up, and after a few times, even the onlookers could not help but be in awe of the crow.

I feel that although this young man's martial arts are ordinary, his willpower is quite tenacious, and he has a ruthlessness that will never admit defeat.

The crow felt that he was almost done, so he fell to the ground, pretended to be unconscious, and never got up again. Raccoon

Seeing this, the referee immediately declared Ilea the winner.

After that, the crow was also carried down for treatment, and just when the onlookers lamented that the female lord's melee combat was so powerful, a discordant voice sounded.

"I would like to report that Sir Ilea and Brian had a monetary transaction before the battle."

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but be in an uproar.
