Although Yin Leiya has won four rounds of competition and has become the favorite to win the championship, her mentality has not yet had time to completely change.
He is always thinking about how to make a fortune and run away, and unlike the golden fly, the crow is also from a famous family.
If this kind of private transaction comes to light, his reputation as the party who paid the money will be completely ruined. Moreover, the money spent is not to win the contest, but to buy a less ugly result of losing.
If this kind of thing is exposed, he will definitely not want to hang out in the royal capital in the future. As for the Royal Knights, they will not want such a tainted retainer knight.
So Yin Leya never expected that Crow would use this method to deceive her from the beginning.
Miss Rabbit was immediately shocked, "I don't have a big grudge against him, right? Just because someone beat him up, does he need to lose his future and kick me out of the martial arts tournament?"
"And this guy is hiding too deep. He wanted to frame me through golden flies before. If I hadn't been distressed... No, he had a sharp gaze, wouldn't he have been out by now?!"
"I do think Master Brian may have been plotted by someone," Ruby said, "Because as you said, it won't do him any good at all if this matter is really exposed."
"So this is another black hand under the Life Church?"
"This... I'm not sure, but I think Priest Cornelia would prefer you to confront the Earth Bear, so that she can directly use the Earth Bear's hand to get rid of you once and for all."
Hearing this, the female lord was confused again, "If it's not the Church of Life, who else could it be? I haven't offended anyone else in the capital, except Geoff... but that damn liar shouldn't be that capable.
"Forget it, the competition is about to begin," Yin Leiya said sincerely as she held Ruby's hand as she had no time to care about such matters.
"Thank you for reminding me, Charlene. I'm so lucky to have met you!"
Ruby felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
Because she knew in her heart that she did not meet the female lord "by chance". She was secretly guarding Yin Leya under Li Yu's order.
Just last night, Li Yu chatted with her for a while. There were experts like Jude and Thomas, as well as strong foreign aid such as Wilder, plus the recent firepower of motion sensors and Rabbit.
Li Yu actually wasn't too worried about Yin Leya's personal safety, but this was Lionheart Castle, the political and power center of the empire, and what was even more dangerous were the conspiracies and calculations lurking in the dark.
Faced with this threat, Jude and others together are not as useful as Ruby alone.
After speaking, the female lord was about to reject Brian's servants who were anxiously waiting for a reply, but she was stopped by Ruby again, "Lord Yin Leia."
"Um?"
"Actually, there is a way. Even if you can't find the mastermind behind it, you can make them pay a bigger price, and you can continue to participate in the martial arts tournament."
"any solution?"
"Accept the money and agree to Lord Brian's request." Ruby said.
…………
Just as the competition was about to begin, the crow was walking around in the tent, looking restless.
From time to time, he would look towards the entrance of the tent. Just when he was about to lose his patience, he finally saw his servant coming back from outside.
But the latter's expression looked a little strange. Seeing his appearance, Crow's heart sank, "Didn't she agree?"
"I promised, but..." the servant hesitated.
"but what?"
"Sir Yin Leya has temporarily increased the price three times."
Crow was dumbfounded after hearing this, and after a moment he couldn't help but became furious, "Four thousand golden lions, you still want me to lose?!"
!Does she think I’m a fat sheep being slaughtered to death?”
After saying this, the crow was still angry, but saw that his servant was about to speak but stopped.
"Why, did she make any other requests?"
"That's not the case. Lady Yin Leya just guessed that you might find it too expensive and said that you don't have to pay for it."
"Is there such a good thing?" For a moment, Crow even felt a little guilty, feeling that he might have wrongly blamed the female lord.
But then I heard the servant say, "If she said this, then the competition will be normal. I hope you can admit defeat soon, otherwise one of your legs may not be saved."
After hearing this, the crow laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, she really loves money as much as her life as the rumors say."
"Do you want me to refuse her?" The servant also felt that the price was too harsh.
But Wu Wu fell into silence again after hearing this. After a moment, he said, "Although four thousand golden lions is a lot of money, it is not as important as my legs."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Promise her, but tell her that I only have one thousand on hand, and I have to owe the rest first. I will give it to her after I raise it in a few days. I can write an IOU first."
The servant nodded. Seeing that Wu Yao had made up his mind, he said nothing more and hurriedly went to find the female lord with the money.
And shortly after the two parties finalized the deal, the competition began.
Crow was a little nervous when he came up. To show his sincerity, he even took off his outer armor and only wore a piece of cloth armor. He definitely couldn't withstand the terrifying weapon on the opposite side that could kill people invisible.
But fortunately, the female lord didn't take out her flintlock as soon as she came up. She just stood there and looked at him with a half-smile.
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Crow always felt that there was some mockery in the girl's smile, and when he thought that he had been blackmailed for four thousand gold lions, his heart ached even more.
He had no fighting spirit, so he drew his sword and pretended to test it a few times. When he saw the female lord's hand approaching her waist, he couldn't help but tremble and quickly retreated.
After a few times, the crow probably felt that it was not interesting, so he rushed up and asked Yin Leya to bring out the artifact that could summon thunder again, and electrocuted him to the ground.
The crow tried to get up several times, but as soon as he was half up, he was shocked again and fell to the ground again. Then he struggled to stand up. After several times, even the onlookers could not help but stand in awe of the crow.
.
I feel that although this young man's martial arts skills are ordinary, his willpower is quite tenacious, and he has a fierce spirit that will never admit defeat.
Crow felt that the performance was almost done, so he fell to the ground, pretended to be unconscious, and never got up again.
Upon seeing this, the referee immediately declared Yin Leiya the winner.
After that, Crow was also carried down for treatment. Just when the onlookers were sighing that the female lord's close combat was so powerful, a discordant voice rang out.
"I want to report that there was a financial transaction between Sir Yinlea and Brian before the battle."
Hearing this sentence, the crowd couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
