Walls performed several movements with difficulty, and each movement caused him great pain, but he endured it. Now he urgently needs to improve his strength. He desperately hopes that he can quickly restore the glory of his family.
This time the training was also in the wild, but no robbers appeared, and no pedestrians came. Only a few wild animals looked curiously at this young man who was sweating profusely and had a painful expression.
Lying on the ground, Walls stared blankly at the blue sky. Occasionally, a few birds flew by. These birds should have come from the south.
Walls suddenly stood up and saw a group of people walking towards him in the distance.
There are ten people in this team. Each one is wearing armor and riding horses of different colors. They have large or small swords on their waists or backs. They may be a group of mercenaries.
It seems that the direction they are heading towards is Wocheze, but apart from this place, is there any other place where they can go?
It's not a robber this time!
This is near Wocheze, and the lord here will not let bandits run rampant here.
As the group slowly approached, Walls could see their attire more clearly, and a man leading the group seemed to be the leader of the group.
He has a long sword on his waist, a two-handed sword on his back, a helmet on his head, and a good hard leather armor on his body, which can provide effective defense.
, the knights of Svadia all wear this kind of armor.
Thinking of this, Walls felt as if he suddenly woke up.
He is a knight of Swadia!
"Hello, soldier over there." A young man's voice came.
At this time, Walls was wearing Geoffrey's long-swing chain mail. This was the request of Wo Zhijinfinger. He said that this was done to make Walls get used to wearing armor and going out to fight. Indeed, because of the decline of his family,
Walls hadn't worn the armor for several days at all.
At this time, it was normal for Walls to wear armor and be regarded as a warrior.
"Hello, sir," Walls replied. He noticed that the person speaking to him was the man at the head. It seemed that he was the captain of this team.
The young man drove his horse to Walls, and his attendants followed one by one.
"I'm curious, what are you doing here?" the young man said, taking off his helmet and revealing his face.
"Can't you introduce yourself when you ask someone a question?" Walls asked rhetorically.
"With all due respect, I am a knight from Swadia. My name is Aisa. I am traveling around the world, and the carriage is where I am about to go." Aisa began to look at the man in front of him who was about the same age as himself.
man.
The armor he was wearing was of extraordinary value, so Aisa thought that he was not an ordinary person and might be able to get some useful information in the process of communicating with him.
"Walls, I am a businessman." Walls introduced himself briefly.
"Businessman?" Aisa looked suspicious. What was a businessman doing alone in the wild?
Aisa is a knight of Swadia. He has a mission to go to the Kingdom of Nord this time. He wants to get some information from the Kingdom of Nord.
There is news that the Kingdom of Vaegia and the Kingdom of Nord are preparing to jointly attack the Kingdom of Swadia, and now the Kingdom of Swadia is at war with the Kingdom of Rhodok to the south.
Once two countries invade Swadia, with the combined efforts of the three countries, I believe that the Kingdom of Swadia will soon be destroyed.
It was precisely because of the fear of something like this happening that a group of people like Aisa appeared.
Yes, it is a group of people who disguise themselves as merchants, travelers, or mercenaries to sneak into the Kingdom of Nord and Vaegia to spy on information. As for how to collect information, there are many methods.
Bribing some officials is a common method, but this requires a lot of money. And there are people like Isa who can communicate with the people in the Kingdom of Nord openly, at least, without spending a lot of dinars.
"Yes, I am a businessman, but at the same time, I am also a warrior." Wall said frankly, saying this also dispelled Aisa's suspicion.
"A warrior? So you also want to participate in the competition here?" Aisa showed an expression ready to fight.
"Sports meet?" Walls didn't know about it.
"Don't you know?" Aisa began to explain the matter. "Every town on the mainland will hold a competitive meeting. The cycle of each holding is similar, and in the past few days, Wo Che is preparing to hold a competition.
A smaller athletics conference.”
Aisa began to kindly explain this competitive meeting. In fact, he wanted to dispel the doubts of people here and let people only know that he came to Wocheze only to participate in the competitive meeting. In fact, he came to inquire.
Informational.
He wants to make a perfect disguise.
Walls knew about this competition. In order for the people in their territory to have a strong body and be able to participate in the war in time, the lords like to hold this competition.
In order to win the competition and get bonuses and honors, there are always people who keep exercising their bodies. This is a good opportunity to get ahead. If you win the competition, you may get a good position in the military.
In this way, it can take a lot less time compared to people who rise through the ranks by accumulating military merit.
Of course, sometimes when the lords get together for a banquet, they will also hold some competitions for entertainment. At the same time, this is also a time for some people to express their love for a certain lady.
At this moment, Wo Zhijinfinger said: "This is a good opportunity that can help you earn a lot of money and fame."
Wo's golden finger is exactly what the Walls thought of. This is a great opportunity.
"I will participate." Walls looked at Aisa, paying attention to the change in expression on his face.
Aisa showed a delighted expression. "I'm looking forward to seeing you on the field." Hearing Walls say this, it means that he has regarded himself as a fighter coming to Wocheze to participate in the competitive meeting.
, rather than a spy.
"Of course, I think so too," Walls said again.
Aisa smiled, then put on his helmet, turned around and left. His followers followed Aisa's steps without saying a word.
"How's his strength?" Walls asked Wo Zhijinfinger.
"If you train hard these days, I believe you can defeat him. He is just a young knight who has just debuted." Wozhi Goldfinger replied.
Walls agreed with Wo Zhi's Golden Finger in his heart. What he needed most now was to improve his strength quickly.
"Not only these, there are also some things that you need to learn." Wo Zhijinfinger continued.
"I understand, but we don't need these things urgently now, do we?"
"It's best to practice this from now on. It will be very important in the future. You should first spend some time learning to see through other people's psychology. This is very important when negotiating.
If you master these, then you can discover the strangeness of the Aisa just now."
"What's strange?"
"This guy should be a spy. He should be a spy sent by the Kingdom of Swadia to spy on the news about the Kingdom of Nord." Wozhi's Golden Finger replied. "But now, don't worry about these things and shape yourself first.
All right."
When Walls heard the news, he was a little shocked. He didn't find out that Aisa was a spy. But he was relieved after hearing what Goldfinger said. Now is not the time to participate in the war.
After understanding my own situation, I encouraged myself secretly.
You must quickly improve your strength.
Walls looked at the sun in the sky. It was now afternoon. After resting, Walls hurriedly ate the bread he had brought with him, drank the water in the water bag, and then started training again.
It was not until dusk that the exhausted Walls began to prepare to return to Wocheze.
Just after Walls left, two knights appeared on horseback in the wilderness as night fell.
"Joels, we are almost there." An older-looking knight said to the young knight next to him.
"I understand, sir," replied Joels.
The older knight's name is Byron, and the young knight next to him is named Joel. The two of them are knights who travel together. They are from Virginia. Unlike Isa, these two people
It is truly traveling.
"There will be a competition here soon, why don't you go and participate," Byron said.
"Of course, of course I am going to participate and beat all my opponents to their knees and beg for mercy." Joels has great confidence. All this confidence comes from the knight beside him, who is his mentor.
, it was he who taught him superb swordsmanship.
"Will you participate?" Joels then asked. If Byron went to participate, Joels believed that his own would not win first place.
"No, I won't participate. I'll leave the opportunity to you young people."
After Byron finished speaking, he warned, "You have only participated in a few competitive competitions, and they were all small-scale competitions. You have not encountered a strong opponent. Don't take it lightly. Maybe you will meet one this time."
A man of great skill.”
"Really? I want to see who is better at his swordsmanship or mine." Joels still did not lose his arrogance.
Night was about to fall, and they arrived at the city gate of Wocheze just at this time.
Walls returned to his residence and told everyone about the athletic conference.
"I know this. I've heard about it on the street a long time ago. The registration ends tomorrow, and the competition will officially start the day after tomorrow." Owens was the first to stand up and say.
"I already know about it, I heard it on the street, and I was planning to attend." Alleyn continued.
"Captain, are you going to participate in this competition?" Jenks responded.
"Yes, of course I want to go." Walls said his thoughts directly.
"If that's the case, then I'm going to go and help you." Owens said with enthusiasm.
Not long after, Alleyne, Owens, Jenks, and several other recruits expressed their willingness to participate in the competition.
After sleeping overnight, Walls and his group started signing up as soon as the arena door opened.
In fact, the prize money for this competition is only 200 dinars, but there is also a gambling game, which is to bet on who will win. The betting amount ranges from 100 dinars to 5 dinars. In this way, you can make thousands by gambling.
dinar.
This is the real way to make money.
Without further ado, Walls quickly found a place to place his bet and immediately placed a bet on himself. He was betting on himself to win. This was the rule. Players could only bet on themselves to avoid deliberately losing on the field.
, so as to extract profits.
This time Walls has invested all his wealth, and now he has no extra money to buy salt. If Walls wins the game.
Then you can get thousands of dinars, but if Vols loses, it means Vols will return to the way it was before.
Time passed quickly, and Walls ran outside the city to start his training again. The day passed like this, and after sleeping one night, it was time for the game to start.
The competition in the competitive competition is divided into groups, and the number of people in each group is evenly distributed. As for who is on which team, it is random. For example, Walls is assigned to the red team now.
Although Alleyn is in the same group as the Vols, Owens is not so lucky. He is assigned to the yellow team, which means that he is the opponent of the Vols, while Jenks is assigned to the yellow team.
Blue team.
In order to make the competition fair, everyone wears competitive armor made of the same material. These competitive armors are of different colors. This is done to distinguish teammates and enemies. If they are the same color as themselves, they are enemies.
The weapons are all issued by the boss of the arena. These weapons are made of wood, which ensures that the participants will not die. Of course, accidents will always happen.
The people of Wocheze are all Nords, and the Nords are good at fighting on foot, which means that no one rides a horse.
The weapons used were either swords or axes, and each person was equipped with a simple wooden shield. This wooden shield did not provide much defense, and it could be chopped down even with this wooden weapon.
The rules of the competition are very simple. Those who fall to the ground or cannot stand up will be eliminated. As long as one person in a team stands at the end, then everyone in this team will advance, and then they will be divided into teams again, and then the competition will begin again.
When there is only one person left at the end, he is the winner of this game.
Walls looked at his teammates around him. In addition to Alleyn, there was another person who looked like a master.
"How strong is this person?" Walls said to Wo Zhijinfinger.
"You ask the system for everything, are you too reliant? I'm not like that." Finally the baron couldn't help but complained in his heart.
