Before Li Yu could speak, the female lord had already sneered, "What sweet dreams are you doing? Let's not talk about whether we have so much dragon blood. You yourself said that this stuff is very popular in the capital, right?
Why should we pay you such a large sum of money for nothing?"
"Because you will need my friendship." Geoff said confidently.
Miss Rabbit was amused by him, "Have you drunk too much wine and are not clear-headed? You have blackmailed me for money. Why don't you ask around in the West to find out who has taken advantage of me? If not, go and ask.
That cousin of yours, Leo.
"I don't care what your status is in the capital or how big your backers are. This is the Western Region, and all your little tricks won't work."
"You are right, but I can still help you in the capital."
"I'm not going to the royal capital," Miss Rabbit curled her lips, "The Western Region is pretty good."
"This is not necessarily true. As the saying goes, things are unpredictable." Geoff chuckled, "His Majesty plans to hold a martial arts competition in the capital in three months. Everyone can sign up.
People will receive generous rewards, and the champion will get land and a lot of money."
Fausto frowned upon hearing this, "If I remember correctly, the empire has not held a national martial arts tournament for nearly four hundred years."
"Yes, my great-grandfather Andrea the Lion felt that this kind of competition was too bloody, so he ordered it to be stopped. But now His Majesty feels that the noble men of the empire lack blood, so he decided to reopen the competition to select the real ones.
warrior."
"But what does this have to do with me?" Although the female lord is also very tempted by land and money, she is self-aware.
Although the family now has some masters, such as her current guard captain Thomas, and Juan who was given the status of a knight because of his outstanding performance in the dragon hunt, the older generation also includes Miss Rabbit's own guardian knight Alfred, and Alfred.
Fred's nemesis, the hot-tempered Pablo...
But these people are not so outstanding in the entire empire.
Moreover, martial arts competitions are very dangerous. Ilea's father, Blood-Eyed Russ, died in a sparring competition with other people. In the real martial arts competition, everyone used real guys.
Although there is a certain limit rule, in a real fight, unless the strength is very different, it will be difficult to control the strength.
Therefore, there were many accidents in every martial arts tournament in the past. It was common for people to be missing arms or legs after a fight, and many people died directly on the field.
This is also the reason why Renshi has suspended the martial arts tournament.
However, there are many nobles in the empire who are keen on this ancient game. Especially in relatively peaceful times, it seems to be the only place where men can show off their martial prowess and pursue honors.
But the female lord obviously doesn't have such a hobby, and she doesn't want to send her men to die.
However, she later heard Geoff say, "Of course it does matter. After His Majesty made up his mind to hold a martial arts tournament, the first thing he thought of was you.
"He yelled at the imperial meeting, how could the tournament be without that Ilea of the Taglis family (His Majesty the Emperor obviously remembered Miss Rabbit's surname incorrectly), go find me the dragon-slaying heroine!
Let everyone see what a true warrior is! This is why I am here now."
???!!
"Your Majesty wants me to participate in the tournament in person?" the female lord was dumbfounded.
"Obviously our Emperor has some misunderstandings about you." Geoff said, "But this cannot be entirely blamed on Your Majesty, because in the stories and legends of the past, the dragon-slaying heroes should have been the kind of big and round-waisted people who were very capable at first glance.
As if fighting.
"In addition, Love and Mead's new drama "The Death of the Dragon" also played a certain role in promoting it. I heard that the troupe leader Timothy knew you, and the actress he found to play you was very tall and taller than
The average man is a head taller.
"When you stand on the platform, it looks like a small mountain, so everyone affectionately calls her Roshan. When you arrive in the royal capital, please don't be offended if someone calls you that on the road."
"That damn dwarf is definitely taking revenge on me! He forced him to act in a new drama before taking revenge on me!!!" the female lord was furious.
And that Roshan, although the name sounds quite domineering, it is far different from her.
It took Ilea a while to calm down her urge to capture Timothy to stew radishes, and said to Geoff.
"Now that you have seen me, you should know that all the previous rumors about me are untrue. Please go back and tell His Majesty that I will not attend his martial arts tournament."
"It's not that simple." Geoff shook his head and said, "His Majesty is a very face-saving person. He boasted about you in front of many people a few days ago, saying that you are the pillar of the empire and that you have courage that no man can match.
Even though he wanted to recruit you to lead the imperial guards when he was drunk, it is enough to show how much His Majesty likes you."
"Not to mention that when he heard the news that you successfully slayed the dragon, he was so excited that he gave you his sword and claws. If you don't go, he will be unable to get off the stage."
When Geoff said this, there was a faint look of gloating on his face.
"…………"
He deliberately paused for a while to make the female lord fully aware of his situation, and then changed the subject again, "But there is no solution to this matter. My sister has a good relationship with Princess Erani. I
You can persuade the princess to help you."
"How can you help me?"
"Let's just say that your martial arts skills are outstanding. It would be too unfair to other contestants to participate in the martial arts competition. It is better to be a judge instead. Of course, this requires you to pay a small price."
"You are blackmailing!" The female lord gritted her teeth.
Geoff did not deny it, "Compared with life, money is just an external possession. I don't need to tell you how dangerous the tournament is. Besides, because of His Majesty's praise of you and your special status, many players are eyeing you.
"
"No one can accept the humiliation of being defeated by a woman, so they will definitely go all out against you."
"Then I will surrender directly."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you disregard the honor of the Arias family, you cannot embarrass His Majesty."
Miss Rabbit looked very ugly at this time.
At this time, Li Yu, who had been silent before, suddenly said, "I can give you three hundred pieces of dragon's blood, but you must ensure Ilea's safety in the royal capital."
Geoff was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, okay, as long as there is a tide, I will definitely try my best to help you."
"It's not about trying your best. You have to complete your duties as a judge before I will give you the medicine."
