Chapter 1567 The Final Day of the Competition (Seeking Tickets)
Originally, today's final game started at 08 o'clock, but at 30:[-], people were notified that the start of the game was postponed for an hour, which gave Xia De, who was just preparing for the first game, another rest time.

While waiting, Dorothy guessed that the game had been postponed because of new arrangements for the church.And Tifa believes that because of the danger nearby, the royal family should coordinate the selection of the final spectators to prevent the heirs of the Cavendish family from being in danger.

And around 09:30, new visitors entered the tent, and Iluna unexpectedly came to Shade in this early morning.

"Good morning, Shad."

The 17-year-old girl simply tied her long brown hair into a single ponytail and wore a brown slim-fitting lady's coat.One look at this dress can be seen to be at work, and Iluna's appearance at the Edward III Arena at this time may be related to the humanoid relic that has murdered four people nearby.

"Good morning, Iruna."

"Good morning, Miss Bayarth."

Besides Shad, Tifa and Dorothy also greeted Iluna.Although Miss Writer is not very familiar with Iluna, at least the two of them know each other.

"Come here for the guy looking for his brother?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, and Iluna nodded, standing behind Xia De and looking at him in the mirror who was wearing armor:
"Our team received the mission and went to the southeast side of the arena to guard and search. Just now the captain asked us to move freely first, and each went to confirm the situation in the nearby area, so I came directly."

She lowered her voice slightly:
"Have you found anything?"

"not yet."

Xia De shook his head:

"If such humanoid relics want to hide themselves, it will be difficult for us to actively find them. However, I have other sources of information. If you really encounter that relic, don't worry. People in the fifth era actually have ways to deal with them."

He told Iluna, Dorothy, and the maids the information he had received from the Red Butterfly girls that morning, and Iluna shared her news:

"The thirteenth ring of [Creation Church], Mr. 'Steel Right Hand' Sarri Pirot was sent here."

Iluna stuffed a piece of metal into Shad's hand from behind Shad:

"Aiming at this relic, [Church of Creation] made a detection spell. Put it on your body, and when the relic appears two meters away, the spell will heat up. But this is a one-off, once the other party is out of range, this The spell is useless."

This sounds similar to Shad's "Witch Detection Badge".

"I'll bring it with me. However, since the people from the church are showing up around the arena, it seems that I won't be able to win too easily for a while."

Iluna smiled and patted Shad on the shoulder:

"Even if you don't rely on those extraordinary powers, I believe you can win. Besides, based on what I know about you, Xia De, when facing ordinary people, no matter how much you want to win the game, you will never take the initiative to use the ring of the power of a warlock."

"Shad is indeed such a person."

Miss Writer echoed, and then asked an interesting question:

"What if Xia De encounters that humanoid relic head-on in the arena? Fighting back means that his identity as a Ring Warlock will be exposed. If he doesn't fight back, he will definitely be injured."

"Oh, Dorothy, I shouldn't be so unlucky."

Xia De pretended to complain, but Iluna was a little worried:

"Be prepared to deal with this possibility. The information Shade just provided is just a possible solution to the other party. The church's preliminary investigation shows that it is not a coincidence that the relic [Faceless Man] appeared in Tobesk, it is Someone attracted it. This is not a random guess, it is the divination of the [Prophet Association] and the induction of the characteristics of this relic."

"Led the angel-level humanoid relic into the city? Oh, if you are taught who is doing this, no matter how powerful the other party is, it will be bad luck."

Xia De said casually, and handed Tifa the metal charm that had already been punched. After the black-haired maid stringed it with silk thread, she handed it to Xia De so that he could hang it around his neck.

"However, apart from the information I just mentioned, I am not without other preparations."

After putting on the heavy armor, Shade came to the table next to the mirror, and opened the slender wooden box next to Mia.The silver long sword was lying in the box, and the inscription on the sword [My heart is clear, the sword cuts the devil] was not activated, so it only faintly glowed with a strange orange-yellow light.Even if the quaint silver sword has not exerted its great power, just looking at it can feel a sense of security.

"You actually brought this out?"

Iluna was a little surprised.

"Knowing that there may be danger, of course I can't believe that I will not be unlucky. However, I can't take [Night Watchman] into the arena. This sword is left in the camp. Once there is a dangerous situation, Tifa and Doro Akane can also protect herself."

Xia De paused:
"The premise is that the angel-level relic will really appear."

"If the information provided by Miss Bayas is accurate, and the relic was lured here by a human call, then there is a high probability that he will appear. After all, today is the last day of the spring equestrian competition around the city."

Tifa said softly at the side, Xia De nodded, looking at himself in the mirror with a serious expression.

At [-]:[-], Shade bid farewell to the girls in the tent, rode on a horse and met Mr. Eric Furren, and then went to the entrance of the arena together.

Because there are only the last two rounds of competition left, the victory can be decided this morning, and the following afternoon will be a real cold weapon duel.The four "knights" gathered at the gate of the arena and waited. They could hear the horns inside the arena, and they could hear the words written by the bards and praised by the palace guards through simple loudspeaker equipment. The verses of a game full of chivalrous tradition.

Finally, the names of four individuals are mentioned separately.The "knights" whose names are mentioned will ride into the arena, and their origins and deeds will be read out as they circle the arena.Shad was the third to enter the venue, and when introducing him, he emphasized the many cases he solved as Tobesk's famous detective, as well as his heroic rescue of the assassinated Queen Diana last summer.

After all four people entered the arena, they got off their horses and climbed to the top of the auditorium, and then Queen Diana and Princess Jasmine Cavendish, Prince Austin Cavendish and Karistov Cavendish The drawing of lots took place in the presence of the Prince.

Shad's opponent is the 25-year-old son of the Marquis of Dullahan. This is what Agelina told Shad in advance, and he may be the king's favorite marriage partner.And Mr. Eric Furren's opponent was the previous champion, Sir Hells from Coldwater Port.

Although the 37-year-old jazz is the older of the 36 players, his years of going to sea make him look more energetic than most young people who enjoy life in the capital.

So the three Delariones and one Carsonric shook hands in a show of friendship and grace.It was Mr. Foran and Sir Hells who raced first, while Shad and Mr. Durlahan Jr. returned to the rest area to tend their horses.

When leaving the auditorium along the iron-framed stairs, Mr. Dullahan, whom Shade met for the first time, approached him suddenly, and said softly:

"Mr. Hamilton, I know that saying this may give you a bad impression of me, but if possible, can you take the initiative to lose to me? I can give you compensation, two thousand pounds compensation."

He tried to keep his voice down as much as possible, and his tone was rather embarrassing.

Xia De slowed down and looked at him in surprise, then asked:
"Can I understand what you are doing this for?"

"For my beloved Clara, of course."

said Mr. Dullahan Jr., with a twinkle in his eyes:
"I promised her that after this competition, no matter what the result is, I will tell my father and mother about our affairs. I thought, if I can win. I have seen your first two games, I am very self-aware, There is a high probability that I am not your opponent."

Xia De didn't know what to say. Those marriage targets that the king preferred seemed to have their own lovers in advance.

"I appreciate your commitment to your lover, but I'm sorry, I also have a reason to win. I swear in the name of Her Royal Highness Rezia Cavendish, I will follow the spirit of chivalry to complete the game, and"

He lowered his voice, and said in the ear of Mr. Dullahan, who was also holding the helmet:

"Miss Galina told me to win, this is an order."

So the young son of the marquis showed a pitiful expression, and he didn't know what he thought of.But the good news is that until Sir Hells defeated Mr. Eric Furren, the Warlock of the Five Rings, and it was Shad's turn to play with him, Mr. Dullahan Jr. never mentioned the matter of trading with Shad again.

Although Mr. Dullahan claimed that he would definitely not be able to defeat Shad, Shad could still feel that he would win when the two rode into the field from the east side and the west side respectively amidst the sound of horns and cheers. Determination.

Of course, when they charged at each other on horseback and had their first tentative fight, Xia De knew that the young gentleman's evaluation of himself was still very accurate.His mount was no better than Xia De's, and his strength and speed were completely inferior to Xia De's.When it comes to sword skills, his disadvantage is even greater.

But Xia De still remembers that he said that it is not too easy to win today, so he deliberately kept his hand, and the performance of chasing, confronting and fighting in the arena with the little Dulahan made the game more enjoyable. better.

Little Dulla Khan could obviously feel that Xia De was giving way to him, and Xia De thought of the time when Sister Divelin and him practiced swordsmanship, it was probably the same feeling he felt at this time.
