"Competition?"
Zong Shen heard what England said and subconsciously repeated it.
England nodded, feeling a little proud when he saw Zong Shen's confused expression.
As a bard, they always know a lot of news.
He is especially proficient in news among the kingdom's nobles.
This is true whether it is this kind of external news or that kind of gossip.
For example, the daughter of a certain count eloped with a certain poor boy.
Another example is that a certain noble was suppressed, and there were all kinds of noble gossip involved.
In addition, they also know which noble's daughter is to be married and which noble's son is to be married.
At the same time, they will also praise the outstanding figures among the young nobles and their travel experiences.
England paused for a moment, sorted out the information about the competition, and then said softly.
"That's right, it's a competition!"
"Every great city has its own arena."
"There are no restrictions on your profession, background, or identity. Anyone can participate except prisoners and heretics."
"This is a non-lethal fighting competition, and the weapons used will be provided by Jucheng."
"They are all wooden weapons. There are no specific rules for competition. Just knock down your opponent."
"Each game will involve 6 to 12 people competing on the same field, and the one standing at the end will be the winner."
"The top three in the final ranking will receive generous bonuses and the qualification to participate in the banquet."
Zong Shen was very excited at this moment. This was a banquet for aboriginal nobles. If he could attend, it would definitely be of great benefit to the contacts he would accumulate among the aborigines in the future.
Zong Shen stretched out his right hand and shook the bard England's hand.
"Thank you Engham, that's really good news."
"I will go to the great city of Lentax within a month."
"We will meet again in the great city of Lentax then."
When England heard this, he took off his hat and put it on his chest, doing the courtesy of a bard.
"I wish you good luck, dear Zong Shen."
"I'm going to continue on my way."
As he spoke, he stood up straight, then took out a pair of parchment rolls from his arms and unfolded them.
"Um…"
“Sitano Village…”
"Definitely on the route."
"According to the speed of my travels, I will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon."
"I will wait for you in your territory for a day."
"Then I need to speed up my journey, otherwise I may not be able to arrive before the banquet starts."
This parchment scroll was a map. Zong Shen glanced at it briefly and found that the place he pointed at was Oka Village and Lurlu River.
At present, he has left the territory for more than 200 kilometers, passing through several forests along the way.
However, the terrain is generally flat, and heading east, it is basically an open grassland area.
If you keep walking in this direction, you will reach the East China Sea of ​​the mainland.
Bospan is just one of many cities in the kingdom's territory in this direction.
It is a fringe city under the jurisdiction of the giant city of Lentax.
If you continue eastward through Bospan, you will reach the giant city of Galisni, as well as the giant city of The Hague and the Port of Ellaraia on the eastern coast of the kingdom.
The plain terrain will also end after Bosbon and enter the Tarlu Basin.
Because the world is so vast, it creates diverse terrain conditions.
Coupled with the fact that all kinds of incredibly destructive wars in history have changed the terrain, the entire continent is filled with all kinds of strange and dangerous places.
This is a colorful world, and the bard Ingram will be Zong Shen's key to opening this world.
He has rich experience and can tell Zong Shen a lot about the world.
"Then dear England."
"I will handle Bosibon's affairs as soon as possible and rush back to the territory."
The two shook hands again, and England mounted his white prairie horse.
He placed his beloved Vielle on a backrest on the side of the horse.
He waved goodbye to Zong Shen and the others.
"Goodbye, my friend."
"Goodbye!"
After England and Zong Shen said goodbye to each other, he rode his white horse in the direction where Zong Shen came from, maintaining a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour and moving forward at a constant speed.
"Let's go too."
They also rested for a while in the village, giving Bajie, the Sentinel Black Panther and the Andalusian horses a good meal.
Bajie himself ate a basket of apples with just one pig, while the horses ate eggs mixed with hay.
The sentinel panther's diet is the simplest, just eating beef jerky.
While purchasing supplies, they also solved personal problems in the village.
Now that everything is settled, it's time to continue setting off.
The hunger and satiety levels of Zong Shen, Luna, and the Immortal Lancers are all around 80.
The hardest part of this long journey is the mount.
As a passenger, the most bumpy ride will hurt your butt.
In terms of physical energy and hunger and satiety consumption alone, it is not worth a battle to clean up the monster group.
Zong Shen put the uneaten apples and hay into the storage compartment and rode directly on Bajie.
He reached out and pulled Vereesa behind him.
Luna was also riding gracefully on the special saddle held by the Sentinel Black Panther.
As a fourth-level war horse, the Sentinel Panther's attributes are not weaker than those of the Andalusian war horse, which is also a fourth-level horse, except for endurance.
It is even more flexible than a war horse, has stronger instantaneous explosive power, and also has certain attack capabilities.
It can be said that beast-type war horses and professional war horses each have their own advantages.
There is no doubt about the endurance of the war horse, just like now Bajie needs to rest after running for more than two hours.
The Andalusian warhorse of the Immortal Lancers actually still has a lot of stamina to spare.
Because Bajie’s top speed is 80 to 90 kilometers per hour.
The top speed of Andalusian war horses can reach 100~110 kilometers per hour.
Of course, this data is based on relatively good road conditions.
Under different terrain conditions, warriors still perform differently.
For example, when entering the rugged terrain of mountains, Bajie and Black Panther will be more flexible than war horses.
At least for now, the Andalusian war horse can easily keep up with Bajie's full speed, and its stamina can still be maintained very well.
Zong Shen moved very quickly. After everyone was ready, he left the village entrance and returned to the dirt road.
Continue to move at full speed in the direction of Bosbon.
This made the surrounding lords who originally wanted to wait until the bard left before striking up a conversation came to nothing.
…
At 5:27 in the evening.
