This sword competition is no longer a simple competitive competition, but an international political method.

Of course, official Victoria attaches great importance to it.

The special investigation team is still tracking down the murderer, but the official needs double insurance, and the murderer can be caught best, but if it can't be caught in the end, they must also try to have leverage in international negotiations.

For this reason, the official wants to attract enough strong people to participate in the competition to show Victoria's force, which is like a military exercise in disguise.

The condition for registration is a Victorian citizen, and there are students on campus to refer, this rule is not a restriction at all, the students of the Royal College are either rich or expensive, the rules really want to express what it means.

[You students all go back and use the power of your family to find all the ruthless people in Victoria to compete! ] 】

Since it's a competition, there must be prizes.

Originally, Xia Feng was not interested in this kind of political game, but after knowing what the prize was, he was moved.

....

The top 20 finishers in the tournament have different amounts of money prizes, which is a must, and the top 3 have more than 8 figures.

This is a number that ordinary people can't even think of, and it's even more exciting than buying a lottery ticket.

Compared with Ursas, Victoria is not a country that advocates force, on the contrary, the so-called martial arts are not very open in this country, and they want to make money through serious means, at most they will get ahead in the army.

If you are not serious, then you can only go to gangsters and become mercenaries, exchanging your life for money.

This prize money can be described as a big victory for the reckless man, and the Lian family of all Victoria never imagined that one day he would become a multimillionaire by fighting.

....

It's just that Xia Feng will not go to the ring to fight with others for a mere tens of millions of bonuses, and be treated as a monkey by the audience, a civilized person like him will not easily use violence.

What really attracted him was not the prize money, but another reward that the winner of this competition had.

The royal family said in the announcement that the champion of this sword fighting competition, if it is a nobleman, then the noble level will be automatically upgraded by one level, if it is not a noble, then the royal family will officially award the title of level 3 nobleman and give a fief.

This reward is so fragrant for Xia Feng.

In other words, as long as he can win the championship, then he will be a Victorian nobleman from now on, although he is only a level 3 noble, but the real noble privileges are valid.

As for whether he is a fief or not, he doesn't care at all, all he wants is this title, as long as he becomes a nobleman, it is equivalent to breaking into the enemy's army.

It's like their family setting up a stall in the night market, you don't pay the management fee, and you sell the goods carefully every day, for fear of being served.

At this time, you suddenly become a chengguan, even if it is just a temporary worker, it will be very helpful to the family's stall business.

The nobility had the power and responsibility to supervise the place on behalf of the royal family, and in a sense this power was even overshadowed by the local security bureau and the mayor, because the nobles could bypass the administrative system and report directly to the royal family.

In addition, the nobles can also enter the National Yuan Council, of course, no one cares about the opinion of a level 3 nobleman, but this can get information on policy changes in the first place.

......

Standing in front of the bulletin board of the academy, Xia Feng carefully noted the time of the swordsmanship competition, the selection competition officially started next Friday, and there was still plenty of time.

For some reason, he developed a long-lost enthusiasm, just like when he was in elementary school, when he represented the whole class in the sports day.

Xia Feng raised his right hand high and shouted loudly.

"I'm going to be a champion!"

provoked the disdain of the students next to him.

Now that the army has been withdrawn from the academy, although the special investigation team is still secretly tracking down the murder in the academy, his suspicion has been basically cleared, and of course, he can leave the academy now, and there is no need to spend time here before the sword competition starts.

.....

The night before leaving, Xia Feng and Silver Gray gathered again in the tavern in the food street.

"Cheers!"

Including the horn peak, the three cups collided together.

Silver Gray's whole face was full of spring breeze, and those who didn't know the inside story thought he was in love.

"Xia Feng, this thing is beautiful, I am really impressed with you."

Xia Feng picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewing it while replying.

"Generally average, third in the country."

Victoria's investigation team has fully proved that Silver Ash is not suspicious, and on the night of Rich's death, Silver Ash was at a party with Vilisa, a member of the royal family.

However, although the matter has been settled, Silver Ash will still fulfill the official purpose of coming to the Royal Academy, participating in the sword fighting tournament to be held next week, and when everything is settled, he will return to Sherag.

The diner was still as empty as usual, and Silver Ash muffled his voice.

"Xia Feng, how is your companion?"

Summer Breeze knew that Silver Ash was referring to Lapland.

"Rest assured, she has already gone abroad, traveling at public expense, and she must be happy that the big yi bus is swaying in a spiral."

Silver Gray nodded.

"That's good, I will definitely thank her in person if I have the opportunity to meet her in the future."

"It's okay, it's all my own."

Now that the turmoil has not completely passed, Xia Feng has not talked much about this matter with Silver Gray, although outsiders can't understand what they are talking about at all, but it is better to be cautious.

Subsequently, Xia Feng expressed to Silver Gray that he wanted to participate in the sword fighting tournament and was bound to win the championship.

After listening to his words, Silver Ash was a little surprised.

"You still want a bonus? Has the Chamber of Commerce been short of money lately? Why don't I lend you some? ”

Summer breeze waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I'm not short of money, what I lack is identity, this time the champion royal family will grant the title of nobility, to tell you the truth, I cried greedily."

Silver Ash quickly understood the importance of the title of noissage to Summer Breeze.

"I see, but.... It's not me who hits you, I'm afraid this championship is not so easy to win, do you know swordsmanship? ”

"No, but I'm very good at fighting."

Silvergray shook his head.

"No, according to the regulations of previous swordsmanship competitions, no spells and source stone skills are allowed to be used in swordsmanship competitions, and only swords can be used as weapons, and there will be professional supervisors on site."

Xia Feng was stunned, he really didn't expect that the swordsmanship competition could only use swords.

His original idea was to make it all the way from the tryouts to the finals, and at the last moment, he unleashed a black and white twin punch to punch his opponent's head into the crotch of his pants, turning him into a level 3 nobleman.

But if you follow what Silver Ash says, this obviously won't work.

The black and white twins need to be activated with source stone energy, and from an outsider's point of view, this is clearly a kind of source stone technique or spell, and if you don't do it, you will be judged as a violation.

What the official wants to show in the competition is not the destructive power, but the determination and will of the martial arts practitioner to fight.

Of course, it can be seen from the rules that most people don't care if they don't allow the use of source stone skills and spells, because they are not infected, almost ninety-nine percent of people will not use them, and there is simply one in ten thousand wizards like Tianhuo.

He guessed that most of the contestants would come from the military or some civilian organization.

.....

Xia Feng touched his chin and pondered for a long time, and then slapped his thigh.

"It's okay, although I don't know swordsmanship, but some of my companions can, and there is no limit to signing up anyway."

Silver Ash is clearly interested in swordsmanship.

"Oh? Which companion are you talking about, is he very good at swordsmanship? ”

Summer Breeze is full of confidence.

"I think it's okay, but the old man is a little old, and his temper is still very stubborn, he doesn't like to use a sword, he only likes to use an umbrella."
