Chapter 1566 Entrustment and New Victims

Wednesday's event is the most important and most entertaining "horse duel". The 36 people were divided into 18 groups for a duel, and the winners advanced to the next round until the final winner was determined.

Of course, because some of the contestants had already passed away one step earlier, the lucky one had a direct bye in the first round.Everyone who heard the news of the death during the lottery hoped for a bye. Even Shade felt that it would be best if he could save some effort, but it was a pity that he didn't have that kind of luck this time.

Because it is an armored duel, all contestants arrive in advance to prepare their armor and horses.Because Dorothy was away, Tifa led the maids to put on the armor for Shad, and then watched him ride into the arena.

Shad's first opponent was his "teammate" Mr. Dunn Wisworth in the first two rounds.This gentleman rode a purebred Myrtilis grassland black horse. In addition to his own armor, he also prepared a metal eye mask and a rather beautiful horse coat for his horse.

The two gentlemen stepped on the pedals, held the sword in one hand and manipulated the rein in the other. They made a few simple touches and tried a few times, and then they had their first confrontation.Then, while clenching his wooden sword with numb hands, Mr. Dunn Wisworth came to a terrible conclusion:

"My speed and strength are far behind him."

So Xia De won the first game without any surprise.

The 35 contestants will have 5 rounds in total, which makes the competition start at [-]:[-] in the morning and continue until the sunset, and it has just reached the end of the third round. The four contestants who have advanced to the semi-finals, including Xia De And Mr. Eric Furlan, whose younger brother was unfortunately defeated by his own hands.

During the whole day of the game, the shouts from the audience in the arena were uninterrupted.The horrific accident that happened around the arena last night didn't affect the lively atmosphere at all.And every time a player came out, the audience would shout their names loudly.

For a foreigner, when the name "Shad Hamilton" is called out, his feeling is quite subtle.Although he has never liked being the center of attention, he is not averse to chasing honors and awards in this festive atmosphere.

The rest of the races will be held on Thursday, which will also be the last day of the 1854 Tobeysk Rider.Therefore, when the sun went down, all the "knights" gathered in the arena with their horses, and after expressing their gratitude to Queen Diana who had been present for three consecutive days, they left from different exits of the arena.

"Shad!"

The blond writer who came over in the afternoon excitedly waved a handkerchief to welcome Xia De's return.Tifa hugged Mia, stood beside her with a smile and nodded to Shade.

Xia De wore this set of armor for almost a whole day. Although it was not a big deal in terms of his physical strength, he was relieved when he took it off.

Just when Dorothy and the maids were helping Shade change clothes, as Dorothy said yesterday, the handkerchiefs, letters expressing admiration and even garters sent by the servants were already piled up in the nearest The table at the exit of the tent.

"You're probably the most popular player this year."

While straightening Xia De's collar in front of the mirror, the blonde girl smiled and said:

"Handsome, young, with strong waist and arms, although the family property is not much, but there is a house in the Saint Teresa Square, and there is almost no negative news about you except for the scandal with Galina Cavendish, and you Unmarried. Shade, you have no idea how popular you are in town."

"I think I'm not as popular as Leiziya. Tomorrow is the last day of the competition. I think Leiziya should be ready for the event at the banquet tomorrow, right?"

asked Shad, and Dorothy in the mirror winked at Shad:

"Of course I'm ready, but you can only get rewards if you win the championship. This is what we agreed from the beginning."

Before returning to Galina Manor this evening, there was a small episode. The Marquis Ensis, who was defeated by Shad in the afternoon, came to entrust Shad with the introduction of Shad's friend, the Baron Rwanda. Help find lost items.

During the game, the Marquis' servants remained in the tent.But when the Marquis returned to the camp in the evening, he found that his favorite gilt tobacco box was missing from the cabinet next to the mirror.

For the Marquis of Ensis, the tobacco box itself is not very valuable, but he just likes what he has used for a long time, and he very much suspects that someone among the servants stole his things, which is unacceptable. Forgive.

Because it wasn't long before the incident happened, the Marquis came to Xia De with a mentality of giving it a try, and Xia De readily agreed.

It was not difficult to find the thief who stole things. When Shade entered the Marquis' camp with Dorothy, who wanted to collect information, he closed his eyes and heard the most abnormal heartbeat among dozens of sounds.

The extremely fast heart rate belonged to an ordinary-looking manservant, and when he asked everyone about their whereabouts in the afternoon, Xia De asked him a few more questions carefully. Instead, it was the manservant who was frightened by "Detective Hamilton" Fame, he couldn't help his menacing eyes and cross-examination, and he took the lead in crying and confessing:

"I stole it. My wife took all my money. My daughter is seriously ill and has no money for treatment. I need the money."

Xia De looked at Dorothy and shook his head helplessly, while Miss Writer was still quickly recording the situation at the scene.

Xia De originally thought that this simple entrustment case would end like this, because the police who patrolled the camp more frequently because of the "assassination" of Earl Lewis would arrive soon, but he did not expect that the Marquis of Ensis would respond to the crying The servant said:

"I sympathize with what happened to you, but you shouldn't steal my things for it. No matter what the reason is, you can't take the initiative to do bad things."

The emotional manservant was obviously irritated by this sentence, and he said something that was beyond the expectations of everyone present:

"Last night, didn't you also say that in order for you to make military achievements, it is best to break up the negotiations between Delarion and Carson Rico and let the war break out? Didn't you also expect worse for yourself? thing?"

The Marquis' face turned from red to white, from white to black.Xia De and Dorothy, who looked up in surprise, were politely invited out of the camp, and received a fee that was ten times higher than the originally agreed commission fee as a "hush fee".

Together in the setting sun, when walking towards Xia De's camp, the blonde girl said to Xia De beside him:

"Although I heard from Leiziya that there are many people who hope that the negotiations will break down and the all-out war in the old continent will be restarted, but this is the first time I have seen it."

"What else did Rezia say?"

"Peace has lasted too long, and there are too many conflicts. This negotiation is definitely not just a negotiation on borders and trade routes. If you are not careful, war may really come again."

Xia De took her hand and said after a long time:

"Civilization has come to an important event node?"

"It's fair to say. Not everyone is looking forward to peace, after all, it's been too long."

Two nights before the competition, every night someone stayed with Xia De at No. [-] Saint Teresa Square, but after the end of the third day, the girls were unable to stay overnight due to their own affairs. Xi Ya laughed and didn't come to Xia De again, so Xia De and Mia spent a peaceful night as usual.

And on Thursday morning, Xia De deliberately got up very early.He first went to Midhill Castle, asked Grace and Helen about the [Faceless Man] news, and then returned home with the glass slipper to prepare breakfast.

When Shad was at the dinner table reading the newspaper boasting about "Shad Hamilton", and even himself was a little embarrassed, Dorothy, who came in a hurry, told him the big news:

"Resia got the news from the Yordle Palace. Last night, there was another victim in the Edward III Arena. This time it was not a player in the game, but three drunks who were drinking in the market at night. The way of death is the same as yesterday's grace. Hall Serich is exactly the same, and the church is discussing with her father, Rezia's father, whether to terminate the game."

"That humanoid relic, is it still around the arena?"

Xia De was also very surprised:
"I didn't feel any elemental reaction all day yesterday. Will today's game be terminated?"

"Probably not."

Dorothy shook her head:

"A proper reason is needed to terminate the competition. If this kind of competition that the whole Old Continent pays attention to suddenly stops on the last day, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, the victims so far have all been killed at night, so Lei Xi Ya thinks that today's game will continue, but the church will send more people around the arena. She asked me to remind you not to use your full strength during the game, just let the opponent have a little upper hand."

"I understand that too much power beyond normal cannot be displayed. In that case, Dorothy, will you come with me today?"

If the vicinity of the arena was really that dangerous, Shade actually didn't want Dorothy to follow him.

"Of course we go together. If you feel a little dangerous and don't want to go out, then I might as well stay at home every day."

It made sense for her to say so, so when Xia De went out, he took the lazy cat with him.Although the cat was very reluctant when it went out on Monday, since it knew that going to the tent would definitely have something to eat, its resistance to Xia De's force to take it out was much weaker.

Take the carriage ride out of town with Dorothy, and join the maids in the tent directly outside the arena.Of course, Tifa already knew about the three more victims last night. Among the maids who came with her today, two of them were high-ring warlocks.Even though Miss Galina could only come here in the afternoon, she still did not forget to ensure Xia De's safety.
