Ireya didn't sleep well all night, and from time to time she wanted to reach out to touch the bloody scab on her neck, and kept paying attention to the movement outside the room with one ear, worried that Li Yu would come back halfway, but she was half-asleep until dawn.

The female lord had just begun to feel a little sleepy when she was awakened by a knock at the door.

"Are you up?" Li Yu's voice came from outside the door.

Miss Rabbit held her breath and did not answer.

"The Watt servant has made a new artifact for you, and while there is still some time, let's go find a forest outside the city and test it."

Hearing this, the female lord was embarrassed to pretend to be asleep again, yawned, and pretended to have just woken up, "Hmm, let me put on my clothes first." ”

About ten minutes passed, and the girl came out of the house.

After seeing her dress, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh softly, Miss Rabbit was quite normal below her neck, that is, she was wearing the robe and cloak that she would wear when she went out every day.

But she had an iron helmet on her head, covering her neck up.

"Tournament...... It's going to take a while to start. Li Yu reminded.

"I know, but I want to get used to it a little bit earlier." The female lord forced herself to compose.

"Okay." Li Yu didn't say anything when he heard this, and went downstairs with Miss Rabbit, called Ge Lipeng, Jude and the two teams of black dog guards, and came to the place where the gun was practiced before.

The girl took the thunder canister, and the first feeling was that it was big, and the other was sinking, and it was very important to hold in her hand, but what really shocked her was after the shot.

The female lord had become accustomed to the "roar" of the dueling pistol, and to her, and most of the onlookers, the sound and the glow of the muzzle of the gun were the turmoil caused by the gods as they unleashed their miracles.

And after changing to a thunder barrel, the roar was even louder, It was deafening, and at the same time, the strong recoil made the girl couldn't help but take half a step back, and even the head was off when she shot it.

However, the bullet still hit the target in front of it, leaving a scattered bullet hole in it.

"No aiming?" The female lord quickly figured out the difference in this gun, and it seemed that it could deal with several enemies at once, if they happened to be standing in dense groups on the opposite side.

After Miss Rabbit had reloaded the bullet herself, she discovered the magic of the flare, which could greatly shorten the time it took for her to reload again, and also load gunpowder and bullets while moving.

Good baby, really good baby!!

Ilea's eyes lit up, and as the first person to shoot in actual combat on the Brattis continent today, she immediately realized that this hand of judgment was extraordinary.

After that, the female lord tried firing a few more times, fully experiencing the joy brought by the caliber, and she wanted to study this thunder barrel more, but it was not too early.

The contest was about to start, and Miss Rabbit could only reluctantly put away the new gun.

The group did not go back to the hotel, but came directly to the Arc de Triomphe, and bumped into a group of people when they were about to reach the outside of the martial arts arena.

Those people were all believers in the Church of Life, and they hurried past the female lord in a carriage.

Ilea didn't have time to think about it, for the cheers around her were already ringing out.

As the only female contestant in this competition, Miss Rabbit has always received a lot of attention, but in the first half of the competition, most of them questioned and ridiculed her.

However, as she passed all the way, won one competition after another, and used her strength to shatter those doubts, in exchange for more praise and applause.

It wasn't until she defeated the Earth Bear that her personal popularity reached its zenith, and she became a household name in the royal capital overnight, and those who witnessed the battle did not hesitate to send every compliment they could think of.

Now she'll represent the Red Lion Empire against the pesky Gentiles, and the onlookers hope that she will defeat the camel and avenge the Silver Knight to defend the Empire's glory.

The approval rating for Miss Bunny was almost overwhelming, and the female lord dismounted and waved in thanks to the cheerers around her.

Then he heard the call of His Majesty the Emperor and came to the stands.

Edward II's expression looked a little tired, but when he saw the girl, he was still uplifted, and said, "How is it, are you sure that you will win this battle?" ”

"Of course, Your Majesty." The female lord said without hesitation.

"Good." Edward II was very satisfied with this answer, "If you can win the final championship, then I will reward you with 30,000 golden lions, and I will also give you crab horns." ”

Miss Rabbit didn't react at first, why did His Majesty the Emperor give her a crab leg, but when she noticed that the nobles around her had changed color, she finally remembered something.

blurted out, "Cape Crab, isn't that the territory of the Wettin family?" Ah, shouldn't I mention that name?! ”

Edward II laughed, "It's okay, their families have been wiped out by me, and there is nothing else to mention." ”

The Emperor looked at the female lord's gaze burningly, "Since you know the Wei Ting family, you should also know the special political significance of Crab Horn to the entire New Land.

"It is said that the ancestors of our three clans landed on the continent of Brattis from there more than 10,000 years ago, and Cape Crab was the first place they established to settle down, and it slowly developed into a town.

"There has always been a saying in Shinriku that if you want to rule that land, you must conquer Cape Crab, which has been in the hands of the Wettin family for thousands of years.

"And when they're done, I'll let the Drummonds take care of Cape Crab for the time being, but I've been looking for a suitable person to be the new owner there."

Edward II said that someone finally couldn't help it, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Sylon spoke.

"Your Majesty, I know you value Sir Ilea very much, and we all admire her martial prowess, but it would be too much of an exaggeration to hand over the new land to her."

The Minister of War also said, "The Arias family is only a small nobleman in the West, even if Sir Ilea wins the tournament, it will be difficult for the nobles of the new land to convince her, not to mention the Drummond family."

"They were originally crushed by the Wettin family, but now that the Wettin family is gone, they have always regarded themselves as the rulers of the new land, and if you let Sir Ilea take over the crab horns at this time, I am afraid they will also be unwilling."

Edward II's face remained unchanged, "I know your concerns are valid, but I've made up my mind, and I have a way of convincing those guys to Irea. ”

The Minister of War and the Minister of Finance exchanged glances, and then they all thought of a recent rumor, their eyes couldn't help but widen, and then they peeked at the third prince who was talking and laughing with his brother not far away.

Edward II didn't go any further, but said to Ilea, "Okay, you can hurry up and get ready." ”
