Downton appeared on the front pages of major newspapers and magazines and became the hottest topic.
He punched Hasel away with one punch, smashed the trial stand, and made impassioned speeches while standing under the portraits of previous kings. Pictures accompanied by text were published in the most eye-catching positions.
"I am justice! Downton's declaration is so domineering!"
"These nobles, even if they are not colluding, are still trash. How many people has Hassel trafficked over the years? Why couldn't he be brought to justice earlier?"
"After buying newspapers for so many years, I feel that today's one is the most valuable. I want to put it on my bedside as a motivation to motivate me to work hard."
Everywhere and everyone discusses topics related to Downton. Not everyone cares about the kidnapping case. Those young men long to be as majestic as Downton and shake their fists wantonly. Those girls want to
To fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
Many girls cut out the Downton-related pictures from the newspapers and hung them in their bedrooms, and some began to wait at the door of the hotel, hoping for a chance to meet.
Today is definitely a big day for the newspaper industry, because even the marginal newspapers with the lowest sales sold out within one day as long as they published Downton's courtroom pictures.
"Thank you Downton for letting him stay in London for a few more days, right? There are a lot of words on Wucuo Novel Network"
The newspaper bosses prayed while asking their employees to print at full capacity, and then arranged for more reporters to track Downton and even take pictures of what he had for breakfast.
"Since the courts of Britannia cannot administer justice, let me do it!"
Seeing this domineering declaration, the consuls in various embassies laughed crazy. They were so embarrassed by this ugliness. If it was written down in history, it would be a stain that would never be erased in their lifetime.
"Downton's temper is not suitable for being a king. Does he think that the nobles of the empire are like Frankfurt and can find an excuse to clean up at will?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.
Freya shook her head.
"At least you don't have to worry about Downton coveting the throne of the king. He is now the public enemy of the entire aristocratic circle!"
Black Charlie teased.
"From what you're saying, it's already confirmed that he is your brother?"
Freya sarcastically said. Although they are half-siblings, they have no basis for any relationship.
"I just don't know what the mysterious Iron-faced man is thinking about?"
Black Charlie shrugged his shoulders. In his opinion, that brother was his biggest enemy in the fight for the kingship.
"Master, are you back?"
When the little maid saw the young master returning, she smiled happily and said, "I'll prepare the midnight snack!"
"No, go get the housekeeper!"
The young man entered the study and flipped through the newspapers on the desk.
"Master, what are your orders?"
The butler appeared quietly in the study, stroking his chest with one hand, waiting for orders.
"Start planning!"
The young man ordered, touching the words on the newspaper, "Downton, don't let me down!"
Palace, back garden!
Snapped!
Queen Oni smashed the newspaper on the ground.
"Downton? It's as disgusting as that bitch!"
Oni's face was full of disgust, as if mentioning this name would cause some kind of filth.
"The Masked Sword Dance Tournament starts today, do you want me to help you get rid of him?"
A voice suddenly echoed in Oni's ears. It was full of teasing meaning.
"I said, I don't want to see you!"
Oni warned.
"When you become a queen, do you not recognize me as a good friend who has helped me a lot? You are so heartless!"
A woman with waist-length hair sat on the chair next to Oni, but the maids and guards in the back garden didn't notice it at all. This black-haired woman was like air, as if she didn't exist.
"snort!"
Aoni stood up immediately. When she saw her, she would think of the past and the scar left by that stinky woman on her body.
"Don't worry, I will bring Downton's body to you!"
The black-haired woman teased and disappeared into a wisp of smoke.
In the early morning of the third day of the Midsummer Festival, the whole city was already boiling. A large number of adventurers, regardless of gender, formed a surging crowd and rushed towards the Love Song Arena.
Downton finished his morning exercise in the backyard and as soon as he returned to the bedroom, Hu Tao bumped in early.
"Brother, go sign up!"
When Hutao saw that Downton hadn't washed his face, he picked up a towel, wet it, and wiped it on his face a few times, then dragged him out and ran away.
"what happened?"
Downton was confused.
"Let's go to the sword dance competition. With Moria Song, we can take the top three and win all the prizes!"
Hutao waved his little fist excitedly.
"You are quite confident!"
Sissi teased and put down the breakfast. This was originally the maid's job, but the princess did it for her. For Downton, she even started to learn to cook herself.
"What sword dance?"
Downton didn't know why.
"It is a fixed program of the Midsummer Festival. On the third day of every year, a sword dance competition will be held in the Love Song Arena. In addition to receiving generous bonuses and prizes, the winner will also have the opportunity to have dinner with the king and queen. If appreciated,
, you will immediately get an official position and a noble title, and become a prosperous person."
Elaine explained.
"Not interested in!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders. With his skills, he would be a bully on the field, and as the owner of Frankfurt, he did not need charity from others.
"Well!"
Hutao pouted, sat on the chair depressedly, snatched the bread from Downton's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and the crumbs fell everywhere.
"Downton, you are too complacent. You should be filled with awe as you climb the martial arts path!"
Moliya Ge walked in and suggested something.
"You don't want to compete with me in the arena, do you? Wucuo Novel Network has a lot of words."
Downton looked at Valkyrie.
"Well!"
Moliya's character was as simple as her sword. When Downton revealed her thoughts, her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"You've been very arrogant lately!"
The Cheap God bluntly accused, "The consecutive victories have made you forget about yourself. Your opponents in the future are no longer miscellaneous fish, but geniuses like Heinrich and the First Rising Star. Do you think you have the ability?"
Are you sure about winning?"
"And then go to the Bullying Arena to bully people?"
Downton pouted.
"Don't underestimate the Sword Dance Competition. Every year, many newcomers emerge, and many strong ones fail!"
Sissi also wanted to see Downton's majestic figure killing everyone.
"The Love Song Arena is blessed with the power of mysterious laws. Anyone who enters will be compressed to the same level and have the same magic energy. Therefore, the competition is about tenacious will, exquisite martial arts, and excellent combat wisdom.
This is the testing ground for verifying genius!”
Moliya Ge is a treasure trove of treasures, and she obviously had a premeditated plan.
"Strengthen the hardware as much as possible, and then test the talent to determine whether it is a genius?" Downton chuckled, "Interesting!"
"Are you going to participate?"
Moliya Ge asked.
"No!"
Downton's answer made Valkyrie's happy expression dim.
"Downton, you must participate. You need to hone your martial arts skills. Only by fighting against opponents of all levels can you get closer to the realm of the God of War."
After the Cheap God became a servant of God, his demands on Downton suddenly increased dozens of times. This was also caused by dignity.
"Come on, do you know why so many adventurers participate in the Sword Dance Conference? In addition to the rewards, it's also because you can encounter love here!"
After Elaine finished speaking, Sissi rolled her eyes.
"The Sword Dance Competition is also called the Love Song Mask Competition. Because the contestants are divided into male and female teams. The opponents are all members of the opposite sex wearing Venetian masks. Think about it, from strangers to acquaintance and love, how romantic it is.
thing?"
As Moliya Ge spoke, her voice suddenly became quieter because she found that several people were staring at her fiercely.
"What's wrong?"
Valkyrie subconsciously touched her face. She had washed herself in the morning.
"I didn't see it. You are still a slut!"
Downton sighed.
"you……"
Moliya pouted and raised her eyebrows angrily.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Downton will participate. I'll leave the registration to you."
Cheap God's decision.
"Oye, we can take the top three!" Hu Tao smiled happily, "I'll clean the weapons!"
Perhaps in order to create an atmosphere and highlight the characteristics of the Love Song Mask Convention, the sword dance competitions are arranged at night. Under the dim street lights and the gentle moonlight, it is simply a holy place for romance.
Pairs of young men and women filled every corner, and from time to time you could see them making some intimate gestures, which simply tortured the singles to death.
"Male, take note of these men's clothes and break their legs later!"
A burly man shouted and entered through the main entrance. Behind him were all senior men, holding a flag with the image of "Left Hand Clenched".
"Boss, we have to go to the fifth round before we can meet a man!"
"You guys said that if I win later, what lines should I say to make my opponent fall in love with me?"
"You traitor!"
A group of men were arguing.
"Stop dreaming. You are obviously single, so just concentrate on masturbating." The boss said, "How could a woman fall in love with you?"
Watching a group of people rushing past, Downton and his party had yet to recover when another group of feminists passed by.
"You can live happily without a man!"
“Women have the final say here!”
"Women can also be ministers and kings!"
Various slogans emerged in an endless stream, especially one banner that read, "The middle finger is better than a man's", which was simply eye-catching.
"What is this mess?"
Downton squeezed it carelessly, feeling a little headache.
"This is a festival, let go and enjoy it!"
Homer is more like a mentor. Downton has been too tired recently and just took the opportunity to relax.
"With so many people looking at us, do they already know that we are the favorites to win the competition?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip the words.
Walnut's eyes are shining and she walks proudly, just like a big white goose.
"No, that's just because Downton and Sissy are so famous!"
Elaine teased, in fact, except for the reporters following them, many adventurers here didn't know Downton and the princess at all, because their social circle was too low. The reason why they cast their eyes on them was because they were three beauties.
Even the cute walnuts have attracted the attention of many Lolicons.
The tickets for the Love Song Arena were sold out a month ago. In addition to the civilians watching the excitement, most of them were adventurers and nobles.
Nobles always enjoy this kind of fighting game. If they can recruit followers from it, that would be even better.
"This way, please!"
No need to show tickets, when Sissi arrived, there was already a steward waiting for her, respectfully leading everyone to the VIP seats.
“How spectacular!”
After boarding the stands, Hu Tao couldn't help but sigh.
This is a square arena that can accommodate 100,000 spectators. The surrounding walls are covered with magic crystal screens that can be projected to amplify live competitions.
It was only ten minutes before the start of the game, and the entire venue was already packed, with huge noises flowing under the night sky. Some people were looking at the VIP seats, thinking about which noble to recommend themselves to.
The emphasis of the Midsummer Night Festival is to have fun with the people, so there are no private rooms to block the performance, and the distinguished guests can only watch the performance in the open air.
When Sissi and her entourage walked out of the passage, the audience around them fell silent and paid attention.
"I had sex with a dancer yesterday, and that feeling... oh, why are you pinching me?"
An adventurer was bragging, but was pinched severely by his companion. When he was about to question him, he looked in the direction of his finger, and then fell silent.
"It's the Bavarian Rose!"
“And Princess Elaine of Saint Laurent!”
"The girl carrying the sword box is the Valkyrie. Now she is following Downton. Has she been defeated?"
At the beginning, there were still a lot of whispers, but as the appearance and figure of the three girls came into more people's view, the audience of the blockbuster became quiet, and seemed to breathe louder, which was a blasphemy against them.
I don't know if he took the lead, but he stood up first, and then more people stood up.
"Duke Downton, you are justice, you are the hero of us civilians!"
A young man with freckles who was obviously a fan of Downton suddenly rushed out, knelt on one knee, hit his chest with his right fist, and paid him the greatest respect.
"That's ridiculous."
Downton helped the young man up.
"No, only you can speak for us civilians!"
The young man's eyes are wild.
"hero!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
The cheers rang out, and after a moment, they became uniform, and the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
The reporters hurriedly recorded all this and followed Downton. Sure enough, wherever he went, there were big headlines.
"Damn, what kind of bullshit hero? A country clown, how can he be so virtuous?"
Charles and his aristocratic friends looked at this scene with jealous eyes turning red. They also wanted this kind of popularity and the pleasure of being in the spotlight.
Soon, the referee announced the start of the first game.
Because there were so many people who signed up to participate, the first game was a melee of 100 people, in which a hundred people were thrown into the arena and fought. The last ten people standing entered the next round, and then there was a draw to determine whether they could advance.
, in addition to strength, you also need some luck.
There are twelve fences in the arena. After they are raised, the contestants file in and grab the favorable terrain as soon as possible.
Buzz!
As an oval-shaped light curtain rose and enveloped the arena, the referee announced that the game had begun.
"here we go!"
Hutao held the huge popcorn bucket in his left hand, twisted his butt, adjusted his posture, grabbed a handful with his right hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and made a clicking sound when he bit it. (To be continued...)
