Chapter 689: Martial Arts Competition

On the day of the celebration, the city of Santa was a bustling scene.

The treetops and shop fronts along the roadside are decorated with colorful ribbons, and people are full of well-dressed people.

Today, when the demon plague has lasted for four years, ordinary people really need a reason to lift their spirits, so even civilians wear their best clothes.

And Stan's office has also changed his previous stingy image and become extremely generous.

In the morning, the streets begin to distribute fine food, from white bread to mead and even cakes.

It is conceivable that even the freedmen may not be able to afford such a fine meal.

At the place of gifting, there was inevitably looting, and the chaos would have only widened if it had not been for the immediate maintenance of order by a team of elite soldiers in full armor.

Lu ...... Lune, I'm ...... I'm a little nervous! ”

Baron Timo wore a tuxedo, with a lot of pleated lace next to the collar, which seemed to Fang Yuan to have a samba style, and most importantly, his face was also painted with a layer of white powder - according to the etiquette master who came from the court, this is the dress that an orthodox nobleman should have.

Compared with clothing, the etiquette of various marriages was very cumbersome, so Fang Yuan couldn't help but rejoice that he was just marrying the daughter of a baron, and there were not so many rules.

"Don't worry, no rival in love will dare to come out today, otherwise you will be right with the Grand Duke!"

Fang Yuan smiled and encouraged.

"I ...... I'm not afraid of someone to challenge, but so many etiquettes, I'm afraid I won't remember ......"

Teemo looked like he was about to cry.

"In this regard, the etiquette officer next to you will remind you!"

The former baroness walked in and glanced at Fang Yuan with reproach in her eyes.

Ever since she knew that Fang Yuan had left Tanya in the territory alone and came to Santa City alone, she hadn't given Fang Yuan a good look.

In fact, if she had known about the danger in Santa City next, she would have been the first to escape, right? ’

Fang Yuan watched coldly, knowing that the baroness had changed slightly in her mentality in the past few years in power, and she was thinking about power.

If it was one of those unified feudal dynasties, the queen mother would even poison her own son in order to continue to listen to the government.

Of course, this is not the case, and with the support of the office, the baroness has to leave the scene.

However, her temper is not so good.

Fang Yuan was lucky, those maids and servants, these geniuses were really unlucky, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they would be scolded for being bloody.

"Let's go, it's time for the celebration to begin!"

The Baroness stepped forward, looked at Timo with a critical gaze, and immediately took his hand: "You have a lot to do today!" It's time to go! ”

"Okay!"

Timo moved his lips, still habitually opting to obey.

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and followed.

Today, he is only wearing a white power suit, wearing a noble robe outside, with a long sword at his waist, and he looks very capable and chic.

The group got into the carriage, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the venue of the celebration.

"To celebrate the holiday and the wedding of the princess of Mirilai, Grand Duke Stan has decided to hold a contest!"

Looking at the crowded scene outside, Fang Yuan couldn't help frowning.

At this time, the customs of the Principality of Stan were very similar to those of the ancient West in the previous life, and there were often competitive competitions and performances during major festivals.

For example, this time, the Grand Duke Stan is determined to run a big game, and the competition not only includes archery in the traditional sense, long-distance running, etc., but also joins the martial arts duel that can show personal bravery, and prepares a heavy reward of 300 Stan gold coins for the champion, which is enough for some transcendents to end up desperately.

When Fang Yuan and the others entered, the competition in the venue also reached the final.

The noise converged into a tidal wave that almost toppled the roof.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to the final showdown, and the winner will receive the title of Champion personally canonized by Grand Duke Stan, as well as three hundred Stan Gold Coins!"

In the middle of the arena, one of the emcees roared hysterically: "First of all, the player on my left hand, the 'barbarian' Will from the Beast Wasteland, his hands can strangle the giant bear, and he has solved the battle neatly before!" ”

"And the warrior on my right is Jafa from the Southern Marshes! He is a skilled warrior who excels at taking out opponents with a variety of weapons! ”

"Will, kill him!"

"Jafa, I'll buy what you won!"

……

In the venue, the atmosphere of the audience was ** to the peak, full of a frenzied taste.

Being in such an environment is like being in a furnace.

In the midst of many hot or jealous glances, Fang Yuan and the others went up to the high platform, where they were all nobles from the Duchy of Stan, which was obviously different from the crowded environment around them, everyone had comfortable chairs, and there were servants and maids around them.

"Haha...... Teemo, and Rune, come on! ”

In the center of the aristocracy, there is the star-studded Grand Duke Stan.

He held the golden wine glass and watched the battle in the audience with interest: "Why don't you guess who will win this time?" ”

"I ...... I think it's Will, who clearly has the upper hand! ”

Timo looked down at the jousting platform, and Will, wielding a huge axe, had forced Jefa into a corner.

"What about you, Knight of Rune?"

Grand Duke Star's gaze at Fang Yuan was a little playful.

"If there's a bet, I'll just press Jayfa!" Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he replied with a smile.

"Haha...... Whoever wins, I have decided to give him the highest honor and let him attend my daughter's wedding! ”

Grand Duke Stan laughed.

At this moment, there were suddenly many exclamations from the audience.

Under Timo's terrifying gaze, the desperate Jafa flew towards Will like a poisonous snake, wrapping his legs around his opponent's neck and twisting it violently.

Click!

The tooth-aching sound of cracking bones could not even suppress the hustle and bustle of the venue.

The referee stepped forward to take a look, shook his head immediately, and loudly announced the result: "Winner...... Jaffa from the swamps of the South! ”

"Jerfa!"

"Jerfa!"

Suddenly, the whole square was boiling, and the spectators shouted Jafa's name, and those who made the wrong bet threw their vouchers into the air with disgusted faces.

"Be quiet!"

Grand Duke Stan stepped forward and pressed his hands slowly.

Click!

Many soldiers moved in unison, with an invisible majesty, and it was even more likely that a transcendent person secretly exerted an influence, causing the entire venue to be quiet.

"My people!"

Grand Duke Stan spoke slowly, his voice amplified by the spell, and became audible from afar: "Today...... Who is the hero in the arena? ”

"Jafa! Jafa! ”

"Yes, Jafa, in the name of Archduke Stan, I canonize you as Lord of Honor, Warrior of the Duchy! You will be rewarded with riches and glory beyond your imagination! ”

Grand Duke Stan's face turned a little red: "I announce that Joffa will be allowed to attend my daughter's wedding and today's court dinner!" Let's cheer for him! ”

"Grand Duke!"

In the midst of the cheers, Jerfa stepped forward crampedly, and it was a black male figure, humbly kneeling.

"Take it, you deserve it!"

Grand Duke Stan nodded, and the attendant next to him immediately threw a bag of bulging gold coins over.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business!"

After Stan's official office finished this, he beckoned to Timo, and among the nobles of the palace, a veiled girl was also surrounded by many maids.

"Go ahead!"

Fang Yuan gave a gentle push from behind, causing Timo to involuntarily step forward.

"Baron Shawshank, your family has been loyal to the office for generations, and has fulfilled the obligations of a Duchy baron, according to the previous sacred agreement, I will give you my favorite pearl, Mireles......"

Grand Duke Stan said with a red face.

At this moment, Fang Yuan turned his head with a sense of consciousness and saw a team of Death Priests slowly stepping forward, led by an old man wearing a golden crown.

"The Death Pope?"

Keen detection, he immediately felt the hostility of the other party.

"Sir Rune!"

When the Pope saw Fang Yuan, his pace slowed down: "I heard that you have inherited Grandon's inheritance?" Inaugurated the legendary class, Scourge Knight? ”

"That's true!"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"So, is that rumor true? The advancement of the Scourge Knight must be necromantic and resentful? ”

While the old man of the Pope was speaking, Fang Yuan frowned, feeling that at least six fluctuations in the magic of detecting lies had fallen on him: "Indeed! ”

"Death is the realm of our Lord!"

The old man of the Pope said proclaimingly, but did not continue to dwell on it, but strode forward to the middle of the hall.

As the officiant today, he has many more important things to do.

On the other hand, a few archbishops stayed around Fang Yuan, and their eyes were all cold.

Daniel was among them.

'Lune, you've made a big mistake! ’

At this time, his heart was full of joy: 'You have blasphemed your soul and offended the realm of my lord, even as an ally, His Majesty the Pope will never let you go!' ’

For the sake of benefit, the Church of the Grim Reaper can cooperate with the principality.

And the Principality of Stan may not be willing to offend a big church for the sake of a quasi-legend! In other words, in the trade-off of interests, it is easy to make a decision!

'In fact, the Pope has already contacted the Grand Duke before, Knight of Rune, do you know that you have been abandoned? And the price paid by the church is only to give away part of the benefits! ’

Daniel let out a silent scoff in his heart: "Of course, you still have a little bit of use, so the Pope has decided to let you use your spare heat and fight for the principality until the last moment, and then judge you!" ’

As a fighter, what would it be like to fight until the last minute and be attacked from behind?

This kind of revenge is really happy and thorough.
