    "Hey!" I stood on the balcony of the Marquis's mansion and stretched out beautifully.  From this point of view, the royal city "Belistia" is red in the morning, like Xiu Ting's pretty face when she is shy.  (Hey, I thought of Xiu Ting again without realizing it.)

    I¡¯m so hungry!  The habit of skipping breakfast in this place is really destructive.  I really can't figure out whether they are too lazy or too diligent.  Forget it, just be patient.

    I got dressed and walked downstairs (the guest room of the Marquis¡¯s residence is on the second floor in the backyard) and found Asantean and the others already waiting in the yard.

    "Dipor, why do you always get up so late?" Stanton was a little impatient.

    I smiled, ignored this guy, and walked directly to Asantean.

    "Assuntan, can you borrow money for me?" Ever since I knew it would cost a large sum of money, I had long asked Assuntan to help me think of a way to see if I could handle some emergencies.

    "Well, I have borrowed 50 gold coins from the merchant here in Hathvi using the warrant of the Marquis." Asantean proudly handed me a money bag.

    "but,"

    I¡¯ll do it!  I'm most afraid of "but".

    "But you have to return 55 gold coins after the Cavaliers game. Well, 5 of them are interest." Asantean continued.

    What we borrowed was actually a loan shark!  I'm speechless.

    "But where are we going to get so much money?" Bitril said anxiously.

    "Competition! As long as one of us wins the championship in any type of knight competition, half of the bonus can be used to pay off the debt." Asantean said with confidence.

    I am definitely not going to be able to do it myself. It seems that I can only place my hope on the three quasi-knights.  I immediately said to Stanton and the others with a smile on my face:

    "Lord Knight, it's up to you to repay the debt."

    Stanton slapped his nose on his face and threw his coat to me:

    "Here, hold it, and the one in front will lead the way."

    I¡¯ll do it!  The whole "Japanese" style.  Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to put down my fake "noble" airs and ran to the door.

    I was standing in this blacksmith that specializes in knight equipment, and I felt like someone had drilled a hole in the sole of my foot, and my blood was gurgling out from the hole.

    "Dear Lord Knight, the three sets of knight armors you want total 45 gold coins. Including the 15 gold coins for the horses, the total is 60." The owner of the blacksmith shop, a fat man with a black beard, stretched out his fat hands.

    60 gold coins were gone in the blink of an eye.  Seeing the fat man in front of me carefully counting the pile of gold coins on the table, my heart went cold.

    ¡°Hey, boss, I¡¯m going to give you these beautiful signs. Yes, every horse has them.¡± Yifa said happily looking at the decorations on the horse¡¯s headgear.

    I just want to chop this monster into pieces, but luckily I still have some money left, so I¡¯ll just do it.

    ¡°Boss, make it like this for my horse.¡± Stanton drew a mark on a piece of sheepskin.

    I curiously went over to take a look and saw a circle with a personal character drawn inside it. I crossed it!  This guy actually drew a "Mercedes-Benz!" sign!

    Two days later, we picked up our equipment and headed all the way out of the city to the "Queen's Hunting Ground": the venue for the Quasi-Knight Competition.

    According to the prior arrangement, Monteil and I partnered together and served as his attendants; Bitril partnered with Stanton and served as his attendants.  And Asantean has its own soldiers as attendants, so we don¡¯t need to worry about this.

    Like other contestants, we were arranged in the rest area.  The rest area is made up of tents of different colors. The three quasi-knights of Hathway City were arranged into three green tents that are close together. A gold banner representing Hathway City hangs outside each tent.  Lion flag.  The tent has a high roof, so even if you stand all the way in, it doesn't feel too short.  According to my estimation, such a tent can accommodate 7 or 8 people of my size with absolutely no problem.

    King Tetrik's Knight Guard carried the flag on their back (it was two rectangular flags, like two black wings on the back. The infantry guard did not have such flags.) Patrolling the arena all day long  , it seems that the king does not want these energetic guys to fight before the game.

    In order to pass the time, Stanton and I were sparring all the way. Asantean had been sparring, while Monteil and Beatle were busy preparing a drink they called "magic water".

    "Hey, Yifa, it's your turn to come over and try this new drink." Montetier greeted Yifa with a bad smile.  (I guess, because the guy is wearing a mask.)

    I cried and looked sad all the way, and it took me a long time to move over.  (The one sent all the way is the white mouse No. 2, and the No. 1 is the Sri Lankan mouse.???ton)

    "I said, I don't want to drink it. I've been there five times and I don't want to drink it anymore." It turns out that the side effect of this experiment was "frequent urination".

    "Whether you drink or not, you will get sick all the time? If you don't drink, you won't have any wine at night." Why didn't I realize that Beatle had become as good as Montether?

    Along the way, the knight drank a large glass of "Experiment No. 6" with difficulty. Before he could say his thoughts after drinking, Stanton over there was already running towards the woods like a hot wheel.  .  .  .  .  .  .

    I was afraid that these two guys would burp before the game, so I quickly stopped the two Frankensteins.  Fortunately, the two guys recovered the next day, and we did not continue to practice. We all slept in, and started discussing the game after lunch.

    There are a total of 144 contestants in the quasi-knight competition. The first competition is swordsmanship (including broadsword).  Since the lottery system is used, there is no way to know the opponent's situation in advance.  We think that Stanton and Asantean's sword and shield skills are very good, so the discussion is mainly about the two-handed broadsword strategy.

    The biggest advantage of Yifa is strength, but the same weakness is also strength. If Yifa¡¯s opponent is an Asantean-type technical stream, Yifa will suffer a lot.

    In the competition, each sword strike against the opponent is worth 1 point. The first to score 5 points or to knock down the opponent first wins.  Limited to a quarter of an hour.  The power of the attack is very powerful, but if you continue to chop for several minutes, you must have time to relax, which also gives the opponent a chance to gain points.  After sparring with Stanton, Asantean, and myself, we agreed that Yifa must adopt a one-hit kill tactic to win. However, Yifa's size is too large and is too fast compared to the flexible Sword and Shield Knight.  Slow, one-hit kill is unlikely to be successfully implemented.

    In order to solve this problem, we took turns to practice with sword and shield and all the way. (At this time, the "Magic Water N" studied by Montetier and Beatle played a key role.) Finally, I made a bold suggestion: all the way  Fa gave up all protection, wore no armor, and went into battle shirtless.  Because only in this way can the speed of firing all the way be increased, so that it is easier to complete the "one-hit kill".

    On January 16, amid the deep roar of a string of wooden horns, the Holy Malaga Empire Quasi-Knight Competition officially began.

    A team of Royal Knights lined up to enter the competition venue, followed closely by 16 competition referees.  After paying tribute to Duke "Enrique Clembasa", the competition chairman on the rostrum, 16 referees entered the 8 competition areas.

    The competition venue is surrounded by an auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people. There is a safety zone between the auditorium and the arena. Royal knights and guards are neatly arranged around it.  In the center of the venue is a rectangular competition area, consisting of 8 round wooden platforms with fences, painted in 8 different colors.  The referees work in groups of two and are accompanied by two assistants, either standing or sitting, inspecting the wooden platform.  After a while, the referees raised their hands to indicate that the inspection was completed and the players could enter.  The wooden horn sounded again, and the prospective knights in the first round entered the venue one by one.

    Spectators from all over the empire were excited, waving and screaming to the players from their hometowns.  And those spectators who had not yet entered the arena of their own players applauded enthusiastically without hesitation.  In an instant, the entire competition venue was filled with thunder and excitement.

    The prospective knights entered the prescribed competition venues in the order drawn in advance.  After greeting the audience, Duke "Enrique Clembasa" rang the silver bell of the Quasi-Knight Competition (the Knight Competition is the golden bell, which is rung by the king), and the first round of the competition began.

    The prospective knights from all over the country began to compete, and the sound of swords and shields clashing fiercely sounded in the huge venue.  Most of the would-be knights use swords and shields, except for two people: one is holding a huge broadsword and is competing on the blue stage, "Will Cremo" who comes to Lingcas City, Santa Barbara County.  "Knight; the other is, alas!  No introduction is needed, this knight has already lost.  The one who knocked him down was the knight "John Chicobol" who came from Bodie Newland, Lequemaraka County, and was the first winner of this competition.

    After a while, Will Klimo Knight also knocked down his opponent and advanced to the next round with Chicobol and other 7 winners.

    After a short break, the shirtless Yifa and 15 other quasi-knights entered the arena one after another, and the second round of competition was about to begin!

    When all the knights were concentrating on waiting for the bell, a referee raised a red flag on the black competition stage to signal a timeout.  My heart suddenly rose to my throat: Is it illegal to go shirtless all the way?  !

    Indeed!  The referee who raised the flag believed that it was an insult to the dignity of the knight to be exposed all the way, so he recommended that the rider be disqualified from the competition.  I originally thought that the referee would be worried about the safety of the referee, but I didn't expect that he actually protested that it was "insulting to politeness".

    I immediately took out my certificate of noble knighthood and ran up to the podium to discuss with Duke "Enrique Clement Barca"Come.  After a while, Monteil and Beatle appeared on the black playing stage. They surrounded him and kept smearing his hair.

    When the two Montetiers left, thunderous applause erupted from the audience: the Hameti-Irufa knight who came to Hathvi City was covered with lifelike flames, standing majestically in the competition stage!

    "Flame Knight! Flame Knight! Flame Knight!" The audience was excited.
