Wei Lan immediately sat back down, quietly raised a big middle finger to the queen, and then said sarcastically:

"I just thought, I was also in the audience here some time ago?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Dailian immediately shut up, and even King William's mouth twitched a few times.

Little Prince William looked at Queen Deleine with dissatisfaction. Queen Deleine glared at him and told him not to make a sound.

Wei Lan was puzzled as to why Louis came here. The gladiators who participated in the activities in the Colosseum were usually slaves, criminals or poor people.

He is already an apprentice knight, why is he here?

Wei Lan saw that red blood was slowly seeping out of his bandaged hand.

I don’t know who hurt this kid’s arm again.

But judging by the way he moved his arm, there shouldn't be any problem, at least it's not dislocated again.

Wei Lan held the armrest of the chair tightly. Louis raised his head slightly and seemed to look in his direction, but quickly turned his head back.

Someone brought him iron coat to protect his knees and chest, and gave him a sword.

Louis seemed to be very familiar with the rules here. He quickly got dressed and prepared for the next activities.

At this time, the MC said:

"In order to make the game more interesting, we will add a betting session. Dear all, please look at the two flags beside you."

Wei Lan listened to his words and glanced over, and indeed there was a small red and white flag on the side of his hand.

"Next, please welcome our undefeated Lion of the Empire."

Oh my god! Wei Lan immediately frowned.

Another door in the venue below slowly opened, revealing a giant lion ready to move.

This plot, damn, why is it so similar to what happened that day?

The lion was much bigger than the one he had faced before, and much more muscular. Its legs were full of muscles, and it was obvious that it ate meat and exercised every day.

Afterwards, two soldiers brought a large cage. Although the cage was hollow, it was very densely packed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a winged-eared snake with a white belly and a black body, and wide and flat areas on both sides of its head like two wings.

It is a very poisonous snake.

Good, good, good. Wei Lan really wanted to faint on the spot. It turned out that the king really spared his life!

The MC continued:

"Now, it's your turn to place your bets. If you bet on the knight below to win, raise the red flag. If you bet on the Lion of the Empire to win, raise the white flag."

At this time, the nobles around began to talk about it, and they were all a little worried, fearing that he was the young master of one of their employers.

"What? There's actually a knight down there?"

"How can this be done? This is simply an insult to the knight!"

“…”

"Don't worry, everyone," the MC said.

"He is just the second son of a gentleman, and his gentleman father has no objection to this. And according to the gentleman, he is just a commoner who adopted him.

If that gentleman hadn't picked him up and made him a knight, he wouldn't have been able to live such a good life."

what?

Wei Lan almost missed Sha Ren. The gentleman he found actually did such a thing. He just asked him to give him an identity so that he could join the Knights Templar, okay?

Did he decide these things for Louis?

The MC continued,

"Now let's start the betting. There are two types of bets. No matter which side wins, the one who pays the most money will get a gift specially made by Duke Stu."

As soon as they heard the identity of the person below, the surrounding nobles began to disregard it, and they could also receive gifts from the most powerful Duke Stu's family.

I guess this gift is not an ordinary one.

People started placing bets, some on red and some on white, and there were quite a few of them.

The people below have completely become commodities.

Wei Lan was already a little angry, and he was about to ask for instructions from His Majesty the King.

Someone walked up to the MC and said something to him. The next second the MC suddenly shouted exaggeratedly,

"Oh! My apologies, everyone. I have to introduce this apprentice knight.

According to insiders, the trainee knight was seen entering and leaving the Colosseum several times a few months ago. At that time, he was still a slave and was said to have won dozens of consecutive victories against gladiators.

What? His winning streak was clearly in street performances, how did it end up in him beating gladiators in the Colosseum?

Wei Lan glanced at Queen Dailian from the side, but she didn't look at him.

Could this be another trick played by the Queen?

“He is so strong that even the Lion of the Empire may find it difficult to resist him, so I propose, are there any knights willing to fight him?

Please rest assured, everyone, we will stop here." The MC said with a smile and looked towards the audience.

Immediately, someone shouted around.

"What's so powerful about a slave?"

"I come!"

"I come!"

Among them, Wei Lan looked familiar with several of them, the most familiar ones were Feidu and Saipa's son, but neither of them had any intention of joining.

Wei Lan was in no mood to pay attention, and said respectfully to His Majesty the King:

"Your Majesty, this show is too cruel. I really can't bear to watch it. I'm afraid I will disappoint Duke Stu's kindness."

King William stared at him, dissatisfied with his words, but he did not shout as usual:

“Stephen, you see how much they are looking forward to it, it’s just a small fight between a few knights.

Shouldn't you let everyone do the same thing just because you don't want to see it? Don't be so willful. "

"Yes," Queen Dailian smiled.

"You don't agree, Stephen, what is your relationship with that knight?"

Wei Lan smiled.

"Queen Delian really likes to joke around. She actually wrongly accused an unmarried princess."

King William gave Delian a fierce look and told her to speak properly.

If any more news like this comes out, there will be no need to hold the banquet in three days.

Queen Dailian tightly grasped the folding fan in her hand, and stared at Wei Lan with a sullen face and gritted teeth.

Wei Lan lowered his eyelids, made a face at her, and said with his lips: "Lulu... old woman."

Ever since he knew that those things were done by the Queen, even though she was beautiful, Wei Lan never had a good face towards her and would get angry whenever he could.

King William stood up and was making an announcement, and did not notice their movements.

"Then, based on what he said, let's see if any of the knights are willing to fight?

As a king, I also add a bet -

Now, we will select three people from the crowd. If this apprentice knight wins the game in a 3:2 manner, I will give him two more levels to his original position.

If the opposite happens, he will have to continue to face this ferocious beast. However, if he defeats the Lion of the Empire, I will also keep my previous promise!

Next, let’s get started——!”

“Oooooohh ...

The people around cheered, and someone immediately came forward with paper and pen to vote.

What is this nonsense!

Wei Lan just felt a rage in his heart with nowhere to vent. This dog king acted as if he was so fair and just?

Let three people play against him. Does he think winning two out of three games is as easy as playing poker?!

Wei Lan glanced at the person below, but because he had his back to him, he didn't know what the other person was thinking. He just felt more worried for him.

But there is no other way.

"Father," Wei Lan stood up and bowed to King William.

"This is my coming-of-age ceremony after all. Can I choose two of them?"

"Hmm..." King William thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

At this time, the venue became quiet.

Wei Lan glanced in the direction of Fei Du and the others:

“I’ve heard that the son of Viscount Vichy was awarded the title of Royal Knight at such a young age. He must be a talented person.

Why not - let him take the first position."

Wei Lan could only think of ways to prevent those nobles from voting for anything particularly powerful.

"What?!" Feidu jumped up immediately.

Wei Lan ignored him, his eyes scanning around him, looking for the other one.

The son of Sepa, Erkang Sepa, but his thoughts are hard to guess. Wei Lan is not sure about his strength, so he did not make a decision.

But Queen Delian did not give him time to think. She also saluted King William.

"Your Majesty, if the princess is the one to choose, it would be boring. How about letting me choose the remaining one?"

She turned her head and looked at Wei Lan, smiling:

"Stephen, you'll let your mother choose, right?"

Choose your mother's head.
