Volume 1 Threesome Chapter 111 The Heart of the People
Three days later, when the appointed day came, the arena of Rose Mountain City was already crowded.
Although almost every month in this arena there are more or less competitive events as a common entertainment for nobles and commoners, but compared to the "battle of honor" at this time, they are nothing, not even child's play.
You must know that the two real nobles who will stand on this yellow sand field today are still members of the Hamilton family. Both of them, whether it is Midi or Martin, both of them are burdened with great achievements and fame, and the outcome of this battle of honor will determine the fate of a high-ranking and high-ranking branch leader
Noble identity, powerful strength, unimaginable heavy injection, this is the real blood-boiling battle.
In fact, the Colosseum was originally designed for the Battle of Honor, not for entertainment. But how many years have passed since the Iron Knights ascended the throne?
It was only at this moment that it regained its own light.
When he learned that the two were going to fight for honor, the head of the arena, a named baron, was so excited that he couldn't even sleep, and immediately summoned men to overhaul the arena he had managed for decades. The columns, porches, grandstands, and decorations everywhere have all been replaced by a rugged style close to the common people to a genuine resplendent feel of the Hamilton family.
Even the yellow sand in the field has been replaced with the most expensive and most suitable beach gravel.
At this moment, looking down from the VIP seats, the entire arena looks like a huge and silent lake.
But soon, this calm and neat lake will be turned upside down by two duelists
When Martin Hamilton slowly stepped into the arena of white sand through the southernmost gate carved with a wolf's head, he was greeted with a sea of joy.
As the most martial branch of the family, the fencing branch has a high influence in Rose Mountain City, and Martin, who has the "first fencing man", can be said to be a well-known celebrity in Rose Mountain City. His fame was not obtained through any simple competition or ranking, but was achieved through real play.
The Hamilton family has a vast territory, from the southernmost seaport to the northernmost border, and various forces collide and collide almost every day.
Martin, on the other hand, threw himself into these battles, from pirates, bandits, bandits, to the regular armies of the Councillors, and even fought against the Red Flame Legion. In all these battles, in the end he came out victorious, and always led by example.
On the surface, it is only natural that Martin's actions, and Midi's actions after being reborn, will accumulate huge prestige and popularity.
In fact, if there is a difference, it is that Midi has no choice, he must win, or else he will collapse completely. As for Martin, he can choose the battlefield with an advantage, and try to get the generals to cooperate, and then seize the opportunity to perform.
Therefore, Martin's popularity has risen much faster than that of Midi.
After all, a well-prepared drama is always more appealing than a bloody reality.
In the face of the fanatical supporters, the "first person in the fencing branch" just waved his hand lightly, still maintaining his usual indifferent look, one person, one sword, and slowly walked into the arena elegantly and chicly.
At the same time, when Midi entered through the gate carved with a leopard's head due north, the audience on the field was entangled.
The aristocrats have nothing to dwell on, the ass decides the head.
Or to put it more elegantly, common positions and values are what people want.
Therefore, as soon as the members of the "Golden Branch" saw Midi, who was the guardian knight of Fina, enter, they immediately began to cheer and build momentum with great dignity.
As members of the Golden Branch, they are usually used to running rampant under the protection of the iron-blooded Grand Duke, and there is also friction with the seven branches in the distribution of interests. Now that the Iron Lord is critically ill, these people naturally hope that the newly ascended Fina can be equally strong and continue to maintain the various interests that the Lord should have.
Now that the Queen of Magic Bullets has come up and attacked strongly, she wants to abolish the head of the strongest fencing branch, which is naturally very happy for them. Under Aiya and Wuxia, Midi, as a guardian knight, is of course also sought after.
Many well-intentioned people have even begun to create public opinion in the past three days, and they continue to promote Midi's achievements, not seeking to be comparable to the "first fencing person" who is rooted in the ground, but at least to give the people of Rose Mountain City an impression.
At the time of the Golden Branch, the fencing branch immediately began to cheer, after all, Midi Asrex was not from the Hamilton family, they had no need to have any scruples, on the contrary, all kinds of objections were endless.
But the nobility was a minority after all, even with the addition of the servants who were building momentum.
It is these people who have lived on this land for generations who have really occupied the mainstream.
As subjects of the Hamilton family, they were naturally familiar with the "first man of fencing" and supported this outstanding genius. But if you want to say that the real popularity, compared to the aristocracy, compared to the genius, is still the red-haired little girl.
The title of "little princess" did not come from within the family, but gradually formed in the days when Fina thought she was impartial in Rose Hill City, but in fact she was tyrannical.
People watched as the red-haired little girl beat up one by one to uphold justice for the common people. watched her boldly argue with the iron-blooded Grand Duke from time to time, and even resist hard. I also watched her grow up, become slim, beautiful, and powerful, until she became the pearl of everyone's palm
If the first person in fencing gives everyone the feeling of being a "genius and capable aristocratic young master", then Fina gives people the feeling that she is "the most suitable person to be a lord".
The former is nothing but admiration and awe, while the latter is the real desire of the human heart.
Even after all these years of Fina being far away from the political center of Rose Hill, people have never forgotten her, but only buried it deep in their hearts.
A few days ago, when Fina entered the city, the spontaneous welcome of the people spoke for itself.
And at this moment, when everyone is ready, it will be easier to see the popularity of the Magic Bullet Queen here
The only problem is that it is not their little princess who is on the scene, but a stranger, an outright outsider who has stepped into the Hamilton family territory for the first time and entered the city of Mount Rose for the first time.
Do you want to stand in solidarity with such an outsider?
People suddenly ran out of ideas.
At this time, a crisp voice rang out and reached everyone's ears
"Midi, come on and win the battle of honor"
In the high stands, in the VIP seat, Fina Hamilton did not care about the reserve and image of the acting head of the house, just stood up and leaned against the railing, surrounded his hands into a horn, and shouted loudly. There was a hint of blush on the girl's fair face, and I don't know if it was because of force or shyness.
Although she has long been accustomed to the little princess's unreasonable personality, at this moment, there is still an uproar.
She actually personally supported her guardian knight?
This guy ......
Midi's heart felt a soft warmth, and the little solemnity after the most difficult battle against a strong opponent also dissipated like melting snow in Fina's voice, and all that was left was an unprecedented high mood.
By the way, in this life, with her by her side, how could she fail?
Thinking like this, Midi reluctantly drew his dark and dull long sword, the sharp blade pointing straight to the sky, dividing the golden sunlight into thousands of slender rays of light.
"For Fina Hamilton"
When this natural phrase came out of the mouth of Midi, people no longer had to dwell on it.
Yes, although he is an outsider, although he does not have the blood of the Hamilton family in his body, but speaking of Midi, this is a rising star recently, and he is Fina's guardian knight, the one handpicked by the little princess. If you don't support him, who are you going to support?
"For our little princess"
"For Fina"
The people shouted one after another, and joined in with the support of the Lord Yu "Golden Branch", which instantly overshadowed the inverted color of the fencing branch, forming the only chorus in the entire arena.
"Miss Fina, in the old man's opinion, it seems that she has condescended a little to let this Mister Midi serve as a guardian knight. Listening to the one-sided shouts on the field, the old butler Piping said with a smile.
"Midi's center of gravity is the Falcon Regiment, and the Guardian Knights are just incidental. Fina replied, then muttered in a low voice, "And not my exclusive Guardian Knight......"
In the heart of the red-haired girl, she couldn't help but think of the black-haired girl who was still guarding the eagle's nest - Midi probably didn't know that his "ownership" had actually been divided between these two a long time ago, and she thought that the idea of the guardian knight was specially proposed in response to the family meeting.
I wonder what kind of expression this guy will have when he knows the truth about Lu Dao?
Looking at the calm back of the black-haired man on the white sand, Fina thought secretly.
And when the invisible momentum continues to clash and people's hearts are tilted, Midi and Martin, the real protagonists of the battle of honor, have finally come to a face-to-face position.
"Do you think you can win by shouting louder?" Martin sneered.
In his opinion, Midi was bluffing at all. During these three days, he pondered the earth-shattering sword at the family meeting, and finally came to the conclusion that Midi must have spent a great deal of effort on this sword, so it was impossible to reproduce it in the battle of honor.
Even if it reappears, as long as you are prepared, you will definitely be able to hide from it.
At that time, if the full force misses, Midi will definitely be greatly weakened in terms of momentum and physical strength.
And if he didn't use the killer move, he didn't believe that a newcomer who had been a gentleman, who had been practicing for many years, and who had only recently been upgraded by virtue of his recent quick upgrade, could be his opponent. To know the way, Martin is most proud of his solid foundation.
However, in the face of Martin's aggressiveness, Midi only shrugged his shoulders.
"You're really strong, but you grew up with something very important. The black-haired boy said quietly, "That's failure." ”
