By the time it was close to noon, the first half of the game was almost underway. The pen www.biquge.info Rastigne handed the statistics to the rostrum for Queen Margaret and others to see.

"My dear daughter, who are in the lead now?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Margaret handed the parchment to Saugland, who was beside her, and replied, "Let Leuss read it to you." ”

"Willing to serve." Thorgrande took the paper and looked at it carefully.

"Lord Luce, you come and tell me this old woman, who is more likely to be my son-in-law now?"

"Your Royal Highness the Queen Mother, judging from this report, the right half of the district is the Honourable Navisdar and the Honourable Riseddar in the lead; The two princes of Hitarus followed, and the others were left far behind. In the left half, the two princes of Zigner, who are currently in the first place; Pamis' Ziox and Ramos are not far from them, coming in second place. ”

"Except for His Highness Antaras of Hitaros, I don't have much of an impression of the others, Lord Luce, introduce them to me." The Queen Mother made such a request.

"Yes," said Thorgrande, who owed himself to the Queen Mother, "Lord Navidisdal is the Duke of Fakuda, the same age as His Majesty, probably a few months longer, and succeeded his father as the head of Fakuda three years ago. He is a brave, energetic and enthusiastic teenager. And His Excellency Lisedar is the Duke of Mitrajie, known as 'Navi's Brain Trust', and is the most relied on adviser of King Romedal, one or two years younger than Weichen. ”

"Hearing you say that, I have a little impression that I have indeed seen two blonde young men always together."

"Your Highness Antaras of Hitaros has you seen it a few times, and Wechen won't rap."

"That kid looks very thoughtful and knows how to be polite."

"His fourth royal brother is His Highness Nathaniels, who also came with him, and he is also a famous general in the country of Hitaros, and has sent troops with his two brothers, His Highness Minox and His Highness Canites, on many occasions to repel the attacks of Reynolds and Efini."

"Oh, isn't he as good at seducing women as that Canitus? I have heard that he has recently been courting Rabelais Qing's only daughter, the very elegant young lady. The Queen Mother laughed.

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is due to the bloodline of the Landner royal family." Count Ingrid interjected.

"Well, His Highness Antaras is not as well-behaved as their brother." The Queen Mother responded.

"Zigner's Henry Highness only met him for the first time at the end of last year, although he is young, but he has a very clear way of looking at the problem, and he is now in charge of all kinds of affairs on the mainland, and he is a very promising young man. And his elder brother, Prince George, has been leading the royal knights to suppress the rebellion in the Chionz Mountains in the country, and his martial bravery and command ability are recognized by the domestic aristocracy. ”

"As for the two of Pamis, Lord Ziox has heard that they are distant nephews of the present Prime Minister Nazardin, and it is said that His Majesty Arslang intends to make him the post of court secretary in two years, and his age seems to be a few months younger than His Majesty. The other Earl of Ramos is the captain of Princess Parmis's personal guard......"

"Hey, isn't that H.E. Hedena Ramos? Isn't she a woman? Count Ingrid was surprised.

"yes, it's her."

"What's going on? You can't let two girls get married in the end. The Queen Mother also felt strange.

"Count Ramos is only an assistant to His Excellency Ciox, because we don't stipulate that the helper in the party must be male, we only stipulate that the suitor must be male." Saulgrande explained.

"I see, it seems that it is basically a combination of literature and martial arts." The Queen Mother turned to Margaret, who was not very interested on the side, "Mary, among these seven people, who do you have a more favorable opinion of now?" ”

"I don't know, Queen Mother, I've only known them for two months in total, and the number of times I've met each one can be counted on one hand." Margaret complained.

"What's this, when your father saw me for the second time, he asked your great-grandfather to come and propose to my father."

"Mother, the situation of the two of us is not the same."

"Yes, yes," the Queen Mother gently brushed the Queen's hair, "and then again, is there no one from our country who can be among the top four?" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Margaret immediately found the material to play on the topic, "How could there be none?" If Leuc is willing to go out in person, I believe he alone will be able to overwhelm all the guys below. ”

"However, Wei Chen knows the answer to the question of the test, and even if he wins, he will not win." Thorgrande touched his nose and replied.

"Lord Luce is right, don't be unconvinced." The Queen Mother said.

Hearing this, Queen Phalensi could only turn her head and sulk alone.

The first half of the tournament ended quickly, and the rankings were as mentioned earlier, and the top few places did not change. It was natural for the host party to serve lunch to all the participants, and due to the fact that it was located in the suburbs, and perhaps on the part of Sogrande, the lunch provided by the organizers was of course quite rudimentary.

During meal time, Sogrend took a loaf of bread and walked around the contestants. As expected, many contestants with status brought their own cooks and servants. He did not arrange any prohibitions in advance for this. Although Saugrand does not object to the fact that the good life brought by material things should be enjoyed to the fullest when conditions permit, he does not agree with this kind of wanton pursuit of enjoyment regardless of the occasion and time. Fortunately, he was pleased that several princes and grandsons in the leading group did not appear in such a pomp.

Sogrande's appearance here naturally attracted the attention of many contestants, who greeted him one after another. Several of Marstar's sons invited him to join them in their private meal, but Thorgrande politely declined. He wanted to talk to the gentlemen who were in the lead.

The first to meet the Navi people. When Sogrend approached, Starr was snoring and drinking broth, and Lisedal was instructing Orm on something.

"Ah, Lord Luce, honorable wolf slayer." Lisedar was the first to see him.

"Lord Liseydar, Lord Starr, Mr. Orm, good afternoon, how is it, are you satisfied with our food?" Thorgrande said with a smile.

"Well, of course satisfied, it tastes good." Starr replied as he put down his bowl and wiped his mouth.

"Yes, although Starr doesn't know how to distinguish between good food." Lisedal did not forget to tease his young companion.

"If Your Majesty's appetite is as good as that of Lord Starr, then we can be more at ease."

"Wolf Slayer, it's time to test your martial arts in the afternoon, I'm going to challenge you. The morning's puzzles were all solved by Liseydar, and I didn't help at all. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to your play."

"Aha, that's naturally up to me, and Lisaidar is only better above the neck." Starr took the opportunity to fight back at the teasing in front of him, and Lisedal only smiled at it.

After saying goodbye to the Navi, Sogre met with the two princes of Hitaros. Prince Antaras is sitting alone on a rock, using bread to blot up the last bit of soup in the bowl and eat it. Seeing Thorgrande approaching, the prince quickly stood up and prepared to salute.

"Good afternoon, His Highness Antaras."

"Good afternoon, Lord Leus."

"I didn't bother you."

"Ah, ah, of course not, I just finished eating."

"It's great that you're in the top four at the moment, and I hope you can pick up the good work in the afternoon." Sogrend saw that the other party was a little cramped, so he encouraged.

"It's nothing, Brother Siwang helped me a lot, so I was barely in a competitive position." Antaras said modestly, then he hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Your Majesty...... I mean, is Her Majesty Margaret okay today? Belch...... Actually, I want to say, it's quite hot today, is she having a good time......"

"Your Majesty has always accompanied the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's interest is very high, and she has mentioned you many times." Sogrerd was a little indifferent, but it was an honest statement to calm Prince Antaras's panic.

It seems that Antaras accepted Sogland's reassurance and blushed and muttered, "Ah, is it? That's good, that's good. ”

Sogrand then met the two princes of Zigner, who were also with Sir Turing, who formed a group with another Zigner nobleman. At this moment, the four Zignans are gathering to discuss the puzzles they encountered in the morning game.

"Ah, Lord Leus, how come you have time to visit us?" Prince Henry greeted.

Sogrend smiled at him and said, "Is the morning game going well, Your Highness Henry?" ”

"It should be said that thanks to your care, it went well." Henry said, "Let me introduce you to these two gentlemen. ”

"That's my pleasure."

"This is Sir Sir Sharpe Turing, a famous mathematician in our country." Turing owes himself to Saugland.

"Ah, I have heard your name from Miss Rabelais, and I have seen it to-day. What are Sir Turing's plans for the future? ”

"The knowledge of Mademoiselle Rabelais, and the richness of the Earl Rabelais's collection of books, made me admire him very much, and if he could, he would like to stay in Farenci for the time being, and discuss his knowledge with many scholars. In addition, we have recently obtained a very valuable manuscript and are working with Miss Rabelais on a new method of calculating pi...... Oh, I'm sorry, look at me, and I'm talking about this irrelevant knowledge again. Sir Turing blushed.

"It's okay, if there is any difficulty at that time, please feel free to come and find me." Sogrend replied.

"And this gentleman is William, Baron of East, the general of the cavalry of our Janissaries, and a good equestrian."

Thorgrande looked at it, and he was indeed a traditional soldier. The two sides saluted each other very formally.

"Oh, by the way, there will be a shooting event in the afternoon tournament, and considering the traditions of your country, our Majesty has prepared the bows and arrows you are accustomed to using, so don't worry. I'll send someone to you later. ”

"Oh, thank you so much." Hearing this, Prince George, who had been silent, came out and thanked him.

"You're welcome, this is what the host should do, so please allow me to miss the company first."

Sogrand ended up in the area where the Parmis gathered, and the Parmis were easy to find, as the Countess of Ramos was a fairly obvious target.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Sogrand greeted them.

"Good afternoon, Lord Leus." As the leader of the mission, Hedna returned the salute on behalf of the people.

"Sir Ziox, it seems that you have also obtained the true inheritance of His Excellency Nazardin." Thorgrande complimented.

Ziox was a good-looking young man, with light-colored curls to shoulder length, slightly taller than Saugland, and a decent and elegant manner.

"Your Excellency Leuss is really a mistake, compared to His Excellency Nazardin, I still have to be tempered. Her Majesty's puzzle was so ingenious that it was an eye-opener for me, and it took me a lot of effort. His Highness Henry of Zigner solved those puzzles more easily than I did. Ziox replied humbly.

"You've done a great job, so let's see the majesty of the Pamis cavalry in the afternoon."

"That's up to Lord Ramos, she'll be able to show off our army's skills." Any Parmis would always be very proud to speak of this.

Thorgrande turned to look at the female thousand horsemen, who had a beautiful face, but the beauty had been ruined by the terrible scar. However, Thorgrande did not think that the female thousand horsemen had lost their beauty because of this, and if they were combined with her spirit and her whole words and deeds, it would have revealed another kind of heroic beauty. Unfortunately, most people are unable to appreciate such beauty, and they are confused by what they see, and they become slaves to the mere visual senses, thus losing the ability to identify something precious.

"I think it's something that a lot of people are looking forward to and want to see." Thorgrande replied.

By about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the contestants had already eaten and drunk, and recuperated. The Falencians came out at the right time to announce the start of the afternoon competition. Although the advantage of the leading group in the morning game was already very obvious, it did not discourage the young nobles from being competitive. What's more, many people think that they can better reflect their own level than trying martial arts.

The first event is the show jumping competition, in which the competitors run a straight course of about 1 centimeter, with many obstacles in between, and the fastest one wins. Of course, if you knock down or break an obstacle in the middle of the process, you will have to deduct some points as appropriate. For the sake of fairness, the horses were uniformly provided by the Falencians.

"Ah, yes, what a difficult project." Lisedar said, touching his head.

"I feel the same way." Nathaniels on the side agreed.

"If I were to use my feet alone, I would be confident that I would be able to outperform everyone here." Starr said.

"If it is changed to a racing car, the four king brothers can also win the ticket." Antaras has a similar idea.

The two older men pondered the track with their chin propped up for a moment, and seemed to have found a way to crack the project, so it seemed that they didn't have to abstain on the project.

When it was the Navi's turn to play, everyone in the audience was frightened by Starr.

"Your Excellency, where is your horse?" The Praetorian Guard non-commissioned officer, who was the referee, asked.

"Horses? I don't need that animal, I can outdo them on my legs. Starr said confidently.

"Barbarian, don't mess around here, if you don't know how to ride, get out of here!" Little Abertini was annoyed on the sidelines.

"Ah, are you afraid of losing to me?" Starr guessed the general meaning from the tone of the other party's tone, so he shot back.

"Good, good." The Mastar man was even more furious when he heard the translation on the side, "I accept your challenge, barbarian! Get ready to go, referee! ”

The Farencians, having consulted with them, agreed to what seemed a bit absurd.

As a result, after the referee began to wave the flag, since the rider was far less familiar with the horse than Starr was with his own body, it was only natural that the Navi took a considerable advantage at the start. However, this alone will not win. After all, the competitors were all skilled riders, and they quickly drove their horses to catch up, and they were probably able to overtake Starr by the time they crossed the third hurdle. The Navi was clearly prepared, and when he reached the third obstacle, he quickly slammed into it, moving the fence a few inches forward. As a result, little Albertini, who was bent on overtaking him, happened to have already jumped over his horse, and because of the obstacle change position, the horse's front hooves failed to cross the fence, but tripped over the fence. With the neighing of the horses, the Mastar man naturally fell on his back, and the other two runners had to stop their horses. Seeing this, Starr laughed and ran quickly towards the finish line.

"Damn barbarians, it's foul!" Albertini Jr. spat out the mud from his mouth and loudly appealed to the referee next to him.

Redknapp, who was watching the game from the viewing platform, was amused by the sight, but he did not forget to appeal to the Falensi on behalf of his country. After Sogrend checked the rules of the race for him, the Mastars found that the opponent did not commit a foul except that he did not ride a horse, and that the Navi did not have to ride a horse, and the Mastar himself agreed. Therefore, Redknapp can only admit that Albertini Jr. is unlucky.

After the above incident, when Nathaniels said that he could let his opponent go first, it made the participants in the same group extra cautious. As they set out, they carefully crossed the obstacles, and from time to time they looked back to see if Nathaniels had appeared at the starting point. Because until the departure flag was waved, the prince of Hitarus did not appear at the starting point. What kind of medicine did the Hitaros have in their gourds? Everyone was wondering.

"Your Majesty, look there!" Yeft stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky in the direction of the starting point.

"Aha, it's a shame they figured it out, it's a difficult move." Sogrend said.

The audience was amazed at the imagination and audacity of the Hitarus. It turned out that Antaras actually used his flying dragon to hang Nathaniels and the horse, and swept along the track at low altitude. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge knows that doing so is not so much about Nathaniels as it is about showing Antaras's skill in harnessing the dragon.

After overcoming all obstacles and opponents, Nathaniels swung his sword and cut the rope that connected the horse to the dragon, and even though his horse was still a little frightened, he was still the first to cross the finish line.

And after putting down his royal brother, Antaras quickly pulled up his flying dragon, and after a graceful circle, it swept directly over the rostrum. And when all eyes were on him, Queen Margaret found Saugland in front of her.

"What's going on, Ryushing?" The Queen asked.

"His Royal Highness Antaras's gift to you, Wechen is a little puzzled." Thorgrande turned and handed the queen a large bouquet of red roses. "If Weichen didn't move, he should have fallen into His Majesty's arms accurately."

When the Pharians found out about this, they gathered around their king. When Margaret saw this, her face couldn't help but flush, which made people look so shy.

Nathaniels watched the commotion on the rostrum from afar and gave a thumbs up in the direction his brother had flown away.

"Well done, old man, worthy of being my brother and that of Canites." The four princes of Hitarus were very proud.
