"William from Nia?"

Next to Baron Terry, a noblewoman wearing a veil and covering half of her face with a small fan asked with interest, "Little Terry...... Is he a freeman from your realm? ”

She spoke in a thick, nasal voice, as sweet as if it were filled with honey. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Exactly! Not bad...... I've seen him...... He was also granted the status of a freeman...... Beautiful Lady Serena ......"

Baron Terry said in a trance, with a look of intoxication in his eyes.

"What a funny little one!"

Madame Serena seemed to enjoy Baron Terry's gaze, closed the lady's fan in her hand, and gently slapped her chest twice.

The implicit hint made Baron Terry's breathing heavi.

……

Burst!

Wu Ming stepped forward calmly and drew his sword.

The sharp blade pierced through the armpit, causing the adventurer with the twin blades to scream and fall to the ground.

The angle was tricky, without the protection of leather armor, and the blade was so deep that it almost took a little more force to cut off his entire arm.

Seeing this, the referee immediately declared Wu Ming the winner.

"Next game, 212 vs. 311!"

Two servants came to the stage and carried down the two-swordsman who had fallen to the ground, and the referee did not waste any time and shouted loudly.

"At the end of such a day, at least seven or eight battles have to be fought, and you have to win all the time, and those who are not physically strong really can't support it!"

Wu Ming waited quietly, and half an hour later, it was his turn for the second game.

At this time, the opponent has been replaced by a spearman, and it is the guy who had a bye before.

He looked quite nervous, but with a little confidence, he launched the offensive first, not stinging on his physical strength at all.

It turned out that this was an even easier guy to deal with than the first one, Wu Ming just shook it a few times, and easily tripped him up, and the long sword was on his neck.

The third opponent was a little troublesome, a big man who used a chain flail, dancing a whirlwind meteor hammer, and it took a little effort for Wu Ming to split the chain mail on his body.

……

After several days of fighting, the top eight finalists of this single-person competition were finally decided.

Wu Ming was naturally in it, and after his observation, there were two more noteworthy people, who should be knights.

The first was naturally a knight who had retired from the Church - Adrian, who was a skilled swordsman, tall and strong, and especially good at crushing opponents with one blow.

There is also one, who calls himself Alfred, the leader of a famous mercenary group, Wolfheart.

Their entire team of more than 100 mercenaries had achieved quite good results in this team battle, and it was said that they had been recruited by the Count and were ready to canonize him as a knight.

Of course, he was not satisfied with the honor of commanding the mercenary group on the grounds of honor, but participated in this solo competition - 'I want to be honored with my sword!' These were his exact words.

But Wu Ming felt that Alfred simply wanted more.

And, I don't know why, when he sees this person, he always feels that the other party has a little cold feeling, and has a temperament that he is familiar with.

"According to the rules, the next step is the cavalry battle in the quarterfinals!"

After the final selection, the clerk said to Wu Ming: "You need a set of knight armor, and a war horse, a real war horse!" It's not the kind of person who is scared when he hears the sound of killing, and runs away! ”

Wu Ming touched his nose: "I barely have a horse, if I don't wear armor, will I be directly judged?" ”

The clerk looked at him with a foolish expression: "As long as you like, you can go into battle in a cloth suit!" ”

Obviously, he knew the power and defense of the whole body armor with the charge of the war horse, and in his opinion, although the young man in front of him had good martial arts, he would only be stabbed to death by a shot when he encountered any real knight.

"Oh! William, it's really you! ”

After walking out of the celebration venue, Wu Ming suddenly saw an acquaintance.

"Long time no see, Knight Thakur!"

With a smile on his face, he greeted brightly: "Would you like to find a place to have a drink?" ”

"It's an honor!"

Knight Thakur looked at Wu Ming's gaze now, with a little different taste, it was a sense of appreciation with a little equality: "Your performance has surprised Lord Baron, and he has promised me that if you go back...... The position of captain of the town guard of Nia Town is yours...... After this tournament, of course! ”

There was emotion on his face: "I didn't expect our Lord Earl of Blue Mountain to be so generous...... To be honest, living in the Wind Firefly Plains so far, I can guarantee that there is no better opportunity than this! ”

As the two spoke, they came to a noisy bar, and spent several times the price to get two inferior ales from the fat proprietress .

"Cheers to tomorrow's victory!"

Thakur toasted, and the two drank the ale, the spicy and slightly sour feeling, which made William's body very fresh in his memory.

"Since the quarterfinals, it has shifted from foot fighting to cavalry fighting, and I have to admit that although Lord Blue Mountain has opened an opening for the freedmen, the rules of the competition are still biased in favor of the nobles and the wealthy......"

Thakur looked at Wu Ming and said sincerely, "Do you need armor and war horses?" You can use mine directly, and I'll figure out how to use the armor...... Here are a few of my familiar knight friends, and although their armor doesn't fit, it's better than nothing! ”

He looked around and lowered his voice: "Remember! Don't choose to rent armor and horses, it's too easy to be targeted, and don't overestimate the character of your opponent...... After all, this is a major event that will change the fate of a lifetime and affect several generations! ”

"Thank you again! But I'm ready! ”

Wu Ming politely declined Knight Thakur's kindness, and the two drank a few more drinks, and for the sake of his game tomorrow, Thakur kindly asked him to go back early and rest more.

……

On the day of the quarterfinals.

After the square was renovated, the rest of the ring was removed, and colorful flags and ribbons fluttered all around, and the loud voices of drummers and musicians lingered around the arena.

"Thakur, you met William yesterday, what did he say?"

Baron Terry's face was a little pale, his eyes were sunken, and it was obvious that he had not slept well last night and had consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.

"He's grateful for the kindness of the adults!"

Thakull bowed slightly: "And promised to wait until the end of the game, if there is no other responsibility, I will definitely come to serve the Baron!" ”

Thakur naturally said that Wu Ming was as good as possible.

"This is really good news!" Baron Terry sighed: "I don't even know now whether I should expect William to win or lose next!" ”

"It is an honor to serve a baron!"

Tax Officer Fed hurriedly said.

To be honest, seeing William's performance yesterday really frightened him, and now he has no doubt that the disappearance of Arthur is definitely from William's handwriting.

The only thing he was glad about was that he stopped as soon as possible after being slightly hostile to William, even though the suppression of Aunt Luo Ya was within the rules and did not involve him in a deeper whirlpool.

"I remember, William was just an ordinary farmer, right?"

Baron Terry watched the railings on both sides open, and a team of knights who were purely performing came to the field to show off their might, and his voice was a little unconfident: "Even if you can rent armor and war horses, is he familiar with the skills of armor-piercing combat and controlling horses?" ”

Only nobles, or the sons of knights, could hone their skills wholeheartedly without worrying about rations at an early age, without worrying about rations.

Only this kind of family can support the consumption of war horses and armor.

Such conditions are naturally very unfavorable for civilians.

But out of self-interest, even Baron Terry did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, at most he only lamented William's misfortune.

As for Field? I'm afraid that William will be defeated, not only defeated, but it is better to die directly, so that he will no longer have to worry about the future.

"The first one!"

The referee's voice was loud.

The surrounding audience was getting more and more noisy, and there were even more people than at the beginning.

They were always full of a fiery interest in the battles between knights, the clashes between spears and horses.

Maybe...... It is extremely rare to see the high-ranking knights killing each other on weekdays to entertain them as civilians, and it can satisfy some dark psychology.

"By Bert Tarr, a wandering knight from Coldwind Castle, to William the Freeman from Nia!"

Bang dang!

The original show knight withdrew, the railing fell, and an ironclad knight rushed into the square.

He was dressed in the most orthodox knight's plate armor, and the whole person seemed to be in an iron can, and the horse under the seat was almost two or three meters high, covered with cloth armor sewn with iron sheets for defense, and the knight's spear fifteen feet long and four or five meters long shone sharply in the sun, and the whole person looked like a moving steel fortress.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The knight circled the field, suddenly opened the mask on his helmet, and let out a long roar like a wolf's howl.

Looking at his dazzling riding movements, as well as his strength, Thakur's face also became solemn, and his rich experience made him know that this Bert was quite close to a real knight, even if he was in full armor and played in person, he didn't dare to say how sure he was.

"Hmm...... This Bert, the second son of Sir Elie, was sent to the knight for training at his own time! ”

Baron Terry said with some surprise when he heard the news.

At this time, the top eight that can break through, naturally there is no simple goods, it is not that there has been a war, most of the freelancers choose to be loyal to Viscount Garcia, maybe there will be more powerful guys coming out.

"Ritsu!"

On the other side, Wu Ming also rode a black horse into the field, which made Thakur's face change greatly: "What? ”
