，

If it was normal, as long as Char glared, the magician would be frightened and his legs would go limp, and he would be flattering and respectful. But now, Char stared at Tatara with round eyes, but this guy was resolute and did not waver at all.

After a long time, Char sighed: "Okay!"

Dodora was immediately overjoyed, and bowed to Char: "Master, if I can successfully come back this time, I will get back the title of magician, I ...... I'm going to go to you!"

Char laughed out loud and looked at Dodoro: "You guy, you can't lift your hands, you can't carry your shoulders, you eat more than others, and you do less work than others, what's the use of you coming to me?" But then Char went up and hugged Todoro, hugged him fiercely, and whispered in the magician's ear: "Hey, you guy, although Lao Tzu doesn't look down on you very much, and usually bullies you and teases you, but you finally have a meeting, and you are also the one who walked down from the battlefield with me." ”

Although this sentence was said lightly, the sincerity in his tone was rare, and the magician's hands were loosened, and the burden he was carrying also fell to the ground, and his face showed a trace of sluggishness, and then his eyes gradually flashed with emotion: "I...... That, Char, you're ......"

"Stupid, call me master!" Char let go of Dotara and slammed it on his head. Then he took two steps back and squinted: "You don't have to leave now. Anyway, the time limit for that trial is 100 days, how long has it been? Time is still there! What kind of life spell magic you have now, every time you want to use it, it costs your life force, so you haven't tried it, and you don't know how powerful it is. With your current ability, hmph, even if you walk on the wildfire field, you will be eaten by the demonic beast in less than two days. What kind of chaotic realm, the sea of forests inhabited by the jīng spirit clan, I heard that it is more dangerous than the wildfire field, if you go, I am afraid that I don't know when it will become the feces of the demonic beasts. Well-there are still many days of time, you don't have to hurry up first, these days, I will train you well, I will teach you some skills, so that you can learn a little self-defense martial arts. When I get outside, I have a little more confidence in saving my life. ”

Moved to tears, Char tilted his head and shouted, "Sharpa!!!"

Not long after, I heard Char's roar, and saw Sharba and Cato running out of the backyard, holding rice bowls in their hands, Sharba's mouth was greasy, and he didn't know what kind of meat he was stuffing, and said vaguely: "Fuck, you still howl when you eat, let you not live!"

Char smiled and pushed Dodoro: "This guy is going out to do a desperate deal, these days, if you are free, help me teach him some skills." ”

Leaving the magician to two cavalrymen from the ranks, Char walked back to the room on his own.

He has a lot of things in his heart today, and now sitting in the room, many thoughts are surging in his heart, but he suddenly can't help but think of a question.

Before, General Adric or the old demon Jīng of Cavishir...... Both of them seemed to mention one word – faith!

This is probably the first time in his life that the turtle has been so alone and introspective, these serious and profound questions are also the first time in his life that he has been remembered in his heart, the young turtle, at this moment, probably does not understand what the so-called "faith" is.

But...... Even Tadora, a person he looks down on in peace, has faith.

Myself...... If there is no conviction, it seems to be ...... Something seems wrong.

※※※ General Adric's appointment was rejected by the Senate, and such news soon spread throughout the dìdū under the spread of well-intentioned people. The result of this incident was threefold: some people thought that it was a slap in the face of the emperor by the Senate. Some people think that the Senate slapped themselves, while others think that the Senate is not on the side of the warlords.

However, when the news of this disturbance spread in dìdū, a small news came from the court: it is said that the Lancer Emperor himself, after hearing that day that the Senate had rejected Adric's appointment, was not annoyed and angry, but laughed heartily, and drank two more glasses of wine for dinner that day, and that night he was fortunate to have a beautiful newly selected personal maid...... Subsequently, this appointment was re-transmitted by His Majesty to the Council of Nobles, and it was approved on the same day, and when it was submitted to the Military Headquarters, it took effect immediately.

However, General Adric himself did not go to the Council of Nobles to participate in the review process, he was invited to the Imperial Academy that day and gave an impassioned speech to hundreds of students of the Imperial Academy. This famous general of the empire has a lot of prestige among the cadets, a speech made the young cadets enthusiastic, caused a sensation in the academy, and many of them graduated that year, have revised their graduation application for enlistment in the letter of intent, according to later statistics, half of the people will apply for enlistment in the volunteer to fill in the "13th Cavalry Corps", General Adric has served the longest unit.

Others, after the speech, stopped General Adric and petitioned him in person, asking to be transferred to his side as a guard or adjutant.

It is said that Adric had tears in his eyes at that time, but he could only refuse the requests of these students one by one.

These news reached the ears of the fat man Ruhr, the rabbit general, who had already asked people to pack up at home and prepare to leave for the 13th Corps to take office, hearing these news, it is said that General Ruhr sighed for a long time at that time, and suddenly seemed depressed, interested in chatting, and scattered the entourage around him, and sat alone for a long time, and was drunk at night. Drunk, the fat man drew his sword and carved a line of words on the wall in one breath.

"There is no way to serve the country!!"

The next day, when the fat man woke up, he saw the words he had carved with his sword on the wall, laughed a few times, and waved his hand to erase the handwriting on the wall.

The fat man didn't even go to say goodbye to Char, but only sent a letter to the turtle, and left Dìdū with a group of escorts and went to the 13th Cavalry Corps to take up his post.

On the same day, Green, a senior instructor in the Imperial Affairs Academy, who was once an imperial general and known as the "mad dog", officially submitted his resignation to the academy, and at the same time submitted an application for transfer to the Imperial Affairs Department.

The petition was hard-lined, stating that if he could not be transferred this time, he would rather retire and return home and give up his status as a soldier.

The application was sent to the military headquarters that day, and in the evening, a copy appeared on the desk of the study in a secluded manor on the southern outskirts of Osgilia.

A gray-haired old man held a magnifying glass, read the application carefully with cloudy old eyes, and then let out a long sigh. The back of the old man's hand was emaciated, his veins burst out, and he finally let out a long sigh.

He lifted it up and looked at the wall, on the wall of the study, where a broken sword hung there, and only a third of the blade remained, and the broken part was like a jagged tooth, and there was a turquoise sèze on the blade...... The old man hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up a pen and wrote his name on the copy of the application: Minas.

Green's application, in the military department, some people sneered after reading it, the fate of the original application must have been thrown into a garbage can. However, at the last moment, a copy of the document signed with the name "Minas" was sent to the military headquarters, and after some people read it, the final result was changed.

On the same day, General Green's application was approved.

"Green, an instructor at the Chadi ** Affairs Academy, has no way to teach, misleads people's children, and is responsible for his dismissal from the post of instructor of the Military Academy, demoting his original military rank, and transferring him to the local garrison flag regiment and battalion officer of Moer County! I hope that this member will take this as a warning, change his past wrongs, make meritorious contributions, serve the empire, and live up to the glory of the imperial eagle banner. This order!"

After Green got the transfer order issued by the military department, he didn't even look at the words like "no way to teach", and only laughed three times when he saw the words "transferred to the local garrison flag regiment and battalion officer of Moore County".

After laughing, the mad dog general tore the order of the military headquarters into pieces and threw it into the trash, and raised a middle finger.

"Cut, stupid!"

Adric was promoted to undersecretary of war, and was immediately assigned to inspect the Southern Military District, Ruhr also left Dìdū, and Green had already left for Moore...... He was left alone, but he was still waiting for the official appointment document from the military department. The review process of the knighthood in the noble council has not yet been completed, which makes the turtle very anxious.

Fortunately, however, news of his promotion to the post of Commander of Armaments of Moore had already spread, and news had spread that he had been summoned by His Majesty, and that the knighthood of the Council of Nobles had also been heard—but there was no more trouble coming to the door.

After all, a helpless turtle is easy to mess with. But wearing the title of baron and a position of chief of armament who controls the real power of tens of thousands of troops in a county, the turtle can be regarded as having his own capital, and those small ones dare not provoke him.

He took advantage of the joy of the past few days, and finally remembered the partner he had met on the way to Dìdū, and sent someone to contact Alfrecat of the Fifty Regiment of the Wolf's Tooth, and naturally Gu Luo, a landian, was also attracted to it. After everyone got together twice and got drunk twice, Char showed a little bit of solicitation, and Alfrecat happily agreed.

Putting aside Char's kindness to Alfrecat, the turtle is about to take over the military and political power of a county and become a powerful party, so following such a boss can also mix an official and a half-position in the future, which is much better than being a nameless and part-time warrior.

Alfrecat soon said that he would take all the brothers of the Fifty Regiment of Wolf Tooth to take up the post with Char, and in the future, even if it was under the command of the turtle.

As for Gu Luo, the spy leader of the Landis people is naturally even more happy. When he was on the road, he decided that Char was not ordinary, and sure enough, within a few days of coming to Dìdū, he got the news that he had been promoted to the commander of the military of a county, and he was also named a baron - hereditary!!

From this point of view, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire greatly admired this person, and besides, the turtle was less than 20 years old, and with such an emperor's favor, he looked to the future and had a bright future! Such a star of hope was naturally worthy of his own vigorous friendship. After Gu Luo returned, he consulted his superiors, and decided to increase the budget and make friends with the future hope of the political future of the Byzantine Empire at any cost.

Doing what he liked, Gu Luo thought for a long time, thinking that since this guy started with martial arts, then he was naturally born xìng martial arts, what kind of money and wealth to give, but it was vulgar, and he might not be able to get the sincere friendship of the other party, he thought hard for a long time, and finally prepared a special gift and sent it to Char's residence in person.

This gift is not gold and silver jewelry, nor is it a beautiful dancing girl, but a bow!

In addition to being famous for their maritime power, the Landis are also unique in their longbow class. The Landis were good at bows, especially longbows. The bow given to Char is of the highest quality.

The bow horn of the rare white rhinoceros leather bag, jīng steel bow tire, and the bowstring is made of a kind of tendon of a giant snake that grows in the sea, and soaked in whale glue, it took three years to make a hand, it is said that the person who made this bow is a famous bow maker in the Kingdom of Landis, who traveled to the continent when he was young, and he didn't know what method he used to get in touch with the dwarves, learned some dwarven craftsman skills, and became a famous bow maker after returning to Landis. This bow and arrow was made by him in his later years, when he made a total of three, and the other two were owned by famous warriors in the Kingdom of Landis.

The bow that was sent to Char's hand, the bow body was one and a half meters long, almost one person tall, and its name was "Juxiao", and when it was used, the arrow from shè was strong and sharp, with a tsunami-like cry that broke through the air!

It can be seen that Gu Luo really spent a lot of money in order to befriend Char!

Char was very happy to get this bow, which was suitable for a man of his stature and strength. The turtle pulled the big bow away in front of Gu Luo and tried it, but when he started the crane, he felt the power in it!

With the brute strength of a turtle like a monster, it was also a calm breath before pulling this bow full! After a try, the bowstring vibrated and buzzed, like a violent wind! Although no arrow was fired, but only the strength of the bowstring oscillation, a piece of white paper on the table in front of him snorted and split into two!

The turtle was overjoyed and tried again.

Results...... With such strength, the turtle only pulled the bow full three times, and the fourth time, it was not strong!

"Good bow!" Char was very excited, after all, he was young, full of blood and energy, he liked this powerful weapon the most, and this bow was so strong that even he could only pull it three times, it was obviously an extraordinary treasure!

Gu Luo watched Char try the bow and couldn't help but have a different face.

After this bow was delivered, the warrior guards under his command all tried it out of curiosity, and the captain of the guard in the group of warrior guards under his command already had the strength of the intermediate level four, but it took a lot of effort, and even the fighting spirit was used, but he still couldn't fill this gathering bow!

Seeing this Char, he filled it three times at will, but he didn't even use his fighting spirit...... It seems that this guy really deserves to be the strongman who defeated Hastings on the battlefield!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Gu Luo presented another twenty iron-spine armor-piercing arrows, and said with a smile: "Lord Char, although this arrow is not from the hand of that bow master, it is also made by my skilled craftsman in Landis...... Although it's not a toxin, it has a few bonuses for cracking some magical defenses!"

Breaking the Demon Genus xìng?

Char's eyes lit up.

Gu Luo gave the gift, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief—the value of this Gathering Bow was immeasurable, not to mention. And these simple twenty special iron-spine armor-piercing arrows are worth hundreds of gold coins! This generous gift has already made Gu Luo take out all the budget for the whole year, which shows that he has made a lot of money.

After Char got this bow, it was like a child getting a favorite toy, and he couldn't put it down, and even put it next to the bed when he slept. His own shè technique is actually not very good - after all, he was born in the mountains in the past, and he has not practiced bow skills carefully, but after getting this bow, when he has free time during the day, he made his own target in the yard and tried it a few times, and Char's bow skills were really average, fifty steps to try shè, three or four out of ten arrows missed the target, and the arrows that hit the target, the ones that could hit the bull's-eye, were only talking about two.

It's a pity that the people around him, Cato and Sharba, are both from cavalry, and the cavalry skills of riding and charging are skilled, and their archery skills are average. Alfrecat is a serious samurai, and he has also dabbled in archery, but he is only skilled, far from a jīng tong, and after trying it, he is only stronger than Char.

"It's not enough to have a good bow, Lao Tzu has to find someone to practice this archery well, otherwise, no matter how good the bow and arrow are, it will be in vain if you don't hit it. ”

Char sighed.

Hearing this, Alfrecat's eyes lit up: "Char-sama, I have a solution...... The tournament has begun, and this time the samurai from all over the empire have gathered in dìdū, and some of them are masters of archery. ”

Athletic tournaments?

Char also patted his head.

Such a big and lively thing, I have been busy these days but I almost forgot about it! This is a big lively scene! How can I not take a good look at Char's xìngzi?

The turtle is a xìng who immediately does what he thinks, and he doesn't wait for the moment, and directly drags Alfrecat out of the door and goes to the vicinity of the arena.

※※※The annual Byzantine samurai tournament has begun, but there are still some rìzi before the main competition, and these rìzi have only started some preliminary rounds.

Alfrecat knew that Char didn't understand these rules, so he gave a general introduction on the way:

"This athletic tournament is the best way for the Byzantine warriors to stand out, if they can stand out in the tournament and win fame and fortune, not only the rich prize money, but also the fame, the future samurai regiment to recruit new people to expand the scale, it is also very beneficial-if you can be valued by some nobles and magnates, you can jump into the wealthy family and enter the upper echelons of the empire...... The tournament is held every year, but the process is becoming more and more complicated, and generally speaking, samurai who have achieved a certain number of good results in last year's competitive tournament can directly register for the main stage without passing the preliminaries. But if some new samurai debuted, or those who had dismal results in the previous year's competition, they had to fight from the preliminaries. The rules are roughly as follows: after registering for the preliminary round, according to the rules of the competition, when the samurai who registers can draw their opponents when they are rì, they will be arranged to appear on the same day, and the winner will get one point, and the loser will get one point. The preliminaries have ten days, and each samurai is not limited to the number of entries, and after the end of the ten days of preliminaries, each person's points are calculated, and the highest 100 people can enter the main competition.

However, there is another rule in the game, which is that if you win in a row, you will be doubled in points! You will get one point for the first game on the spot, two points for the second game in a row, and four points for the third game in a row! The more you win in a row, the more points you will score!"

Speaking of which, Afrecart is a little proud: "Two years ago I won four games in a row in the preliminaries, which was a rarity at the time. However, I heard that only one of the previous tournaments has won all the way from the preliminaries without a single defeat!"

"Yi, winning streak...... Char frowned and said, "What you said, the opponents are all decided by temporary draw, so it will inevitably be unfair." Wouldn't it be bad if a low-level samurai drew a high-level opponent?"

Alfrecat smiled faintly: "This is resigned to fate! If your strength is not good, even if you draw a good lottery and get lucky to enter the main competition, you will lose in the end." ”

After a pause, he added: "However, there are also some guys who are not strong, knowing that they have no hope of achieving results in the main competition, and some people are opportunistic, hoping to draw weaker opponents in the preliminaries, mix a few wins, and take the opportunity to become famous." However, these people are a minority after all. ”

"When it comes to the main competition, you can't mix it up if you want to. The main stage is still a draw, but everyone is only allowed to lose three times, and after losing three times, they will be eliminated directly. And in the main competition, if you want to win in a row, it will be even more difficult!"

The two walked and talked, and after a while, they came to the arena located in the city of Dìdū!

From a distance, at the end of this road, a tall building is horizontally there, more than ten meters high, like a city wall, with huge stones built on, flags fluttering on it, looking at it, the road is crowded with people, pedestrians come and go, all wearing all kinds of leather armor and armor, carrying long knives, long swords, iron hammers, battle axes and other weapons.

Under that huge building, several doors were wide open, and dozens of top-body-worn wrestlers stood there, but the warriors who came and went still surrounded the road!

In the distance, behind the walls of the arena, a thunderous cry was heard......
