The registration address for the 'Sword Fighting Tournament' in South Los is in Piazza del Erta.

The Plaza de la Erta, which had suffered a 'gas explosion' before, had been completely restored on the premise that the Count of South Los had 'paid for it himself', but this explosion caused the Count of South Los to reconsider the safety of the 'gas lamp', and the renovation of the 'gas lamp' that had started in April of the following year was postponed again.

Even the best persuasion and persuasion of several 'gas lighting companies' in Neiwan had no effect.

Rumor has it that these 'gaslighting companies' have begun to look for others to help - the original 100% stake has begun to dwindle.

In particular, with several 'gas lighting companies' competing with each other, this stake is being ceded at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and it is being eaten up by the natives of South Los one after another.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Bourne.

Byrne didn't know any of that either.

As the coach of the 'Joel Chok Sword Club', he is more concerned about this 'Sword Fighting Competition'!

He is 20 years old, but he has not had a 20th birthday.

Therefore, I am still eligible to participate in this 'sword fighting competition'.

In addition to him, there are two other students in the club who are eligible - in addition to their age, they must at least survive ten moves under him.

Otherwise, it's just a waste of registration money.

However, it was not until Bourne had signed up with two trainees that he found out......

I'm afraid he's going to have to waste the registration money.

The contestants of this 'Sword Fighting Competition' are too strong.

Not to mention the tall little giant player who had just passed by and walked to the east corner of the square, the one standing in the west corner of the square was also extremely terrifying, and he felt a tingling sensation in his eyes just by looking at it slightly.

There are also players on both sides of the north and south corners.

Although it doesn't look like a single person standing in the east and west corners, it is a group of three or five.

But every player standing has a unique atmosphere.

The breath ......

Some of them look like the 'medium'!

The thought that these people all had the strength of that 'psychic medium', Bourne couldn't help but smile bitterly.

And, more importantly, these people are strangers.

As a well-known instructor in the South Los sword circles, although Byrne was only twenty years old, he knew most of the sword practitioners.

Unless......

'Aristocrats?

What happened?

Why did all these nobles send people to the competition? ’

Byrne knew something about the aristocratic manners.

It is impossible for the 'Sword Fighting Tournament' to end in person, but the rights of the 'nobles' give them the option to have their own attendants participate in their place.

This kind of thing happened in the previous 'Sword Fighting Tournament'.

But only one or two cases are occasional.

There is no such large-scale participation as in front of me.

This made Byrne very concerned.

But no matter how much the young coach guesses, he has no clue.

The idea that the rewards for the champion of the Sword Tournament include the title of knight are still only circulating among a small number of people who can be known.

Out of this small range?

No one will be told more.

Just like Byrne and civilians like Byrne.

Until the last moment, they simply won't know what's going on.

And at the last moment, no matter how much they knew, everything was already decided, and there would be no chance for any change.

Therefore, for them, or the vast majority of the people of Nanlos, the 'Sword Fighting Tournament' is more of a celebration mixed with performances.

Protagonist?

It will never be them.

Of course, even if it is a supporting role or a trick, there is a 'reward' to be taken in such a celebration.

It's as if the owner of the 'Jolchok Sword Club' is constantly wandering through the crowd.

Todd Jili, the owner of the 'Joel Chok Sword Club', originally wanted to replicate the 'miracle' of the last sword fighting competition.

It's just that after discovering that the people standing at the four corners of the square, south, east, and northwest are extraordinary, he immediately gave up his original plan.

The boss began to show a smile and stepped forward to pull the relationship.

Bourne and the two cadets didn't care.

It's not something they need to worry about.

What they need to worry about is the 'Sword Fighting Tournament' that starts tomorrow.

So, after saying hello to his boss, Byrne left with the two cadets - he needed to sort out the battle plan for himself and the two cadets again while he still had some time.

The appearance of those noble attendants......

Disrupted his original plan.

Obviously, many unwilling civilian players have the same idea as Bourne.

They came in a hurry and hurried away.

Fighting for the only chance to 'get ahead'.

Even if......

There is little hope.

Standing in the shadows above the bell tower, Malinda smoked her pipe, and when her eyes swept over the east and west corners of Elta Square, there was a mockery—

The contestants standing there were the 'family attendants' representing the 'Baron de Collor' and 'Baron Haussmann'.

This is the 'privilege of the nobility', and no one can say anything more.

However, Malinda was still surprised by the shamelessness of the two barons.

The woman knew the two contestants.

Among them, the tall, sturdy and giant-like contestant is the "Whale Slayer" Kang Siang, who has a considerable reputation in the "Offshore Islands".

Another player with a thin body and a sharp aura is the extremely famous relic explorer 'Tempest Sword' Deljo in 'Bet Collar'.

Both are 'Grand Arcana' level fighters.

Each has its own power in its own territory.

The former owns Whale Island, has at least 200 men, and controls various facilities such as docks, taverns, inns, and brothels on the island.

Although the latter is not a large number, a complete 12-person expedition team makes no one dare to underestimate it.

And it is not easy to convince such people.

"Heh, for the title of 'knight', have you taken out some of the core inheritance of the family? ’

Malinda sneered in her heart.

She knew a little about 'Baron Collore' and 'Baron Haussmann'.

I also know that this kind of core inheritance that can touch the 'Ranker', even if it is only partial, will be attractive to the 'Great Arcana-level' powerhouses like Consion and Del Jo.

So much so that these two are willing to appear as the 'family attendants' of the two families - this is to circumvent the 'aristocratic rule' that has been around since the Silver Age: non-nobles are not allowed to touch 'aristocratic knowledge'.

Although with the advent of the Pioneer Era, these 'rules' have been loosened in some places.

But for the most part, it's still indestructible.

At least, that's the case in South Los Angeles.

But this lady knows better that it is not enough to have an inheritance, you also need to have talent, otherwise, the 'Baron Colore' and the 'Baron Haussman' will both be 'Beginners'.

Therefore, the lady's eyes were full of mockery.

Instead of mocking the 'Whale Slayer' and the 'Tempest Sword', it mocks the 'Baron Colore' and 'Baron Haussmann' families.

Sometimes, rules come not to restrain but to protect......

Hope you guys understand what you're doing! ’

Malinda thought to herself, and looked at the north and south corners.

Immediately, his gaze sank slightly.
