Chapter 1569 The Replaced Contestant

"She" gently repeated the ongoing conversation in the tent for Shad:
[Eric Furren said: The group of people in the Mirror Association are really bold, are they crazy? 】

[Charles Furren said: Brother, what do they want to do when they brought in that relic?Hasn’t the Mirror Society been committed to finding a space suitable for human existence beyond the material world?Although the Orthodox Church recognized them as an illegal ring warlock group because of their extreme methods, they were not lunatics who killed people at will. 】

[Eric Furren said: Since last spring, the whole physical world has become abnormal.Whatever they want to do is none of our business.After today's game is over, the communication with De La Rion about the time, place and time of the negotiation is almost over, let's leave Tobesk as soon as possible. 】

[Charles Furren said: That's fine, the negotiations between Green Lake City and Mikaela Blast Furnace City are about to start, I don't know what the result will be, in terms of the family's interests, if there is a local controllable outbreak A small-scale war is a good thing, speaking of it, Green Lake.]

Because it was relayed by "her", Xia De could only hear the voice without knowing the specific tone. "She" paused, and then Xia De actually heard footsteps in the tent.

"The Silence Charm has been withdrawn, they are coming out!"

He hastily withdrew his fingers, then turned and left the camp area of ​​the Fulun brothers.

"However, the Mirror Association? During the Battle of the Pantanal, they cooperated with the Pantanal Voodoo Association. During the Battle of the Randall Valley last month, I heard that they sent people to hinder the church's activities. "

On the way back, he was still thinking about whether the entry of this organization he had never had direct contact with Tobesk would have an impact on his peaceful life.Later, he realized that the president of the illegal ring magician organization [Mirror Association] is a rare thirteen-ring magician "Mirror Hidden Man" in the material world of this era.

Shad wanted to tell Iluna about the "Mirror Association", but he couldn't directly contact the 17-year-old girl.Therefore, after returning to their tent, they could only tell Dorothy and Tifa what they heard just now, and told the girls to be careful this afternoon and try to stay in the tent and not move around at will.

In this way, the time came to 01:30 in the afternoon. Miss Writer, who had been holding a pocket watch to prevent Shad from missing the time, urged Shad to put on the helmet, and then Tifa and her sent Shad to the arena entrance.

Since this was the last match of this year's event, and it was the first time in years that real swords were allowed to be used in combat, even those who couldn't get a ticket were excited and flocked to the fence at the gate of the arena, trying to Find a good spot with a view of the field.

And after Shad, Tifa, and Dorothy left for a while, Sir Hells from Coldwater Harbor, who was supposed to be Shad's opponent who entered now, unexpectedly appeared near Shad's camp.

Everyone around seemed to be unable to see him, and no one greeted him.And when Sir Hells, who was expressionless, walked through the crowd heading towards the entrance of the arena to watch the game in a strange way of walking, and came to the entrance of Shade's camp, even the followers of the witch were unable to notice. Until a stranger arrives.

"Meow?"

But fortunately, the cat who was taking a nap lying on the box containing the [Night Watchman] vaguely sensed the slight shaking of the box below him, so the awakened cat closed its eyes and tried to shake its body in line with its frequency , to achieve the purpose of no longer shaking.After realizing that it could not be achieved, he stood up sleepily.Because Tifa and Dorothy only came back after leaving for a short while, Shad temporarily left it in the tent. After all, there were so many maids helping to watch, and he was not worried that Mia would run around and get lost. .

The orange-and-white cat stepped on the box and looked around, and then in the big amber eyes, Sir Hells, who was invisible to the tent door, was reflected.The little cat didn't care about the stranger, and looked around again, but didn't see Xia De's figure.So the cat turned its head again and looked at the stranger standing at the door. One person and one cat looked at each other for a few seconds, and Mia licked its paw during this time.

Finally, the vigilant cat realized that it was a stranger with malicious intentions, so it instinctively acted as a threat to protect itself:
"Meow~"

Although the meowing was not very loud, it was enough to alert the maids.They still couldn't see the person who appeared at the door, but Xia De mentioned the magic of this cat many times in a showy tone, so the sorceresses immediately gathered to meet the enemy, and soon followed Mia His eyes looked towards the door of the tent.

Looking carefully, in the midday sun, the air at the door of the tent unexpectedly twisted unnaturally.But when the icy blue beam shot from the high ring warlock's fingertip passed through the unnatural twist and left a small area of ​​ice on the ground, the twist had disappeared.

"Sir Hells" turned and left here, walking quite quickly.

"Meow~"

Seeing that the malicious guy had already left, Mia lay down again.The body was lying on the heated box, the kitten's head was hanging down at one end of the box, and the amber eyes were staring at the entrance of the tent, looking forward to when Shad would come back.

The maids didn't know what this meant, but they gathered around the cat in a way that didn't affect the cat's vision. Fortunately, the danger was over.

And Xia De, who was missed by Mia, had already bid farewell to Dorothy and Tifa at the entrance of the arena, and then led his horse into the arena.

Sir Hells hadn't arrived yet, and the audience who saw Shad stepping into the stage first shouted his name with the greatest enthusiasm.Xia De squinted his eyes and looked at the high auditorium, then waved to the people according to the etiquette.

The heavy armor made the movement of raising his legs slow, and the warm sunlight made Shad in the armor feel tightness in his chest.In the final double duel, although horse riding was allowed at the beginning, in fact, even if the horse fell, the game was allowed to continue.The game will end after one party loses consciousness or takes the initiative to admit defeat. Of course, out of chivalry, there is no need to worry about someone taking advantage of the rule of not killing people.

The long sword used in the competition was provided by the royal family. It was a steel sword with a length slightly longer than that of the [Night Watchman], and it was forged from the same material as the core furnace cabin of the military steam engine.Both the hilt and the scabbard are engraved with the coat of arms of the Cavendish royal family. When the long sword is pulled out, the blade has just been maintained with sword oil. The oil smells strong, but it can also shine in the sun.

It's a pretty good steel sword.

"I wonder if I can ask to take this sword back if I win."

While Shard swung his longsword to adjust to its length and weight, Sir Hells also led his horse into the arena from the other direction.His way of walking has become normal now, but he didn't talk to Xia De, nor approached Xia De, but took his weapon, stood aside quietly holding the sword and waiting.

Xia De, who was dancing the sword, looked at him in surprise, and felt that this old knight from Coldwater Harbor seemed a little different from the morning.He believed in his own inspiration and wanted to find out what was going on, but when he wanted to walk over, he was stopped by the servants who were arranged nearby to help the players prepare their horses and replace their weapons.

"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry, according to the regulations of the competition, before the start of the competition, in order to prevent accidents, the two contestants cannot have direct contact."

"There is a feeling that I am going to be unlucky."

Xia De murmured in his heart, and glanced at the Jazz who didn't look at him at all, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger:
"Does the method given by Helen and Grace work?"

At the same time, Tifa and Dorothy did not go to the auditorium as they did a few days ago, but returned to the camp according to Shade's instructions.They noticed the nervous expressions of the maids as soon as they entered the camp, but before the remaining maids finished talking about Mia's strange behavior just now, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

Miss Writer and the head maid looked at the door of the tent together, and Iluna hurried in with three ring warlocks:
"Where's Shad?"

The 17-year-old girl actually asked in panic, and Dorothy frowned slightly:
"There are still 2 minutes to start the game. Of course he has already entered the field. Miss Bayas, has something happened?"

"Ladies, may I ask if a stranger came here just now?"

Captain Moody Robinson beside Iluna asked in a deep voice, Tifa and Dorothy almost immediately realized the reason for Mia's abnormal behavior just now.And Iluna saw something from Mia's expression standing on the [Night Watchman] sword box and looking around.

"should not."

The blond writer shook his head and lied, then asked:
"Excuse me, what happened?"

The identity of the Ring Warlock cannot be revealed, and Iluna pursed her lips and said uncomfortably:
"The higher-level cooperation department of our security company discovered Jazz's body 5 minutes ago, but it was reported just now that Jazz had entered the arena. Therefore, someone replaced Sir Hells and entered the arena pretending to be him. The other party The intention was to win the game as Sir Hells, and then, when the title was bestowed on him by the King and Queen, say something that was not conducive to the unity of the kingdom."

"Yes, the other party is a spy of the Carson Rick Gray Gloves organization. We are worried that he will attack Mr. Hamilton in advance."

Mr Robinson, the squad leader, added.

According to the characteristics of "Faceless Man", both Dorothy and Tifa understood that the purpose of the other party should be to ask everyone about the whereabouts of their brother when they spoke, and then forcefully trigger their own curse characteristics.

Dorothy took a deep breath to normalize her tone:
"We watched Xia De enter the arena. No one outside the arena attacked Xia De in advance. Since someone participated in violation of the rules, stop the game now!"
