The idea of this plan is too out-of-the-box and advanced.
Moreover, there are still many problems in actual implementation.
For example, how should the giant city of Lentax contact the "royalists" and those forces that support the "fifth princess", and how should they persuade the third princess Anna to agree to the conditions of the Lancaster family.
Thinking of this, Marquis Henry frowned and couldn't help but look at his daughter and asked.
"Penny..."
"Did you come up with this plan yourself?"
Marquis Henry had every reason to doubt whether there was someone "higher" guiding Penny behind her.
Hearing this question, Penny grinned.
Suddenly, a white rose flower appeared on his forehead.
"This is the inheritance of the White Rose Sacred Artifact."
"Dear father."
Her tone was still calm and indifferent, but Marquis Henry slowly opened his mouth.
"White...white rose?"
He repeated subconsciously, not sure when Penny got this inheritance.
If it existed a long time ago, then she hid it too deeply.
If it was obtained recently, it means that Penny has had another adventure, maybe some great force has sneaked into the city!
"Yes, father, listen to me..."
Penny nodded gently and began to tell the story of how she received the inheritance of the White Rose Holy Artifact.
…
There are still two or three days before the competition, but the city has already become lively.
There are several large squares on both the first and second circles.
When the competition is held, magic energy will be projected, similar to the live broadcast on Earth.
The handicap of the underground casino has not been released yet, because the entry list for this competition is completely confidential.
Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi both took the time to sign up.
According to the data in the strategy module, more than 900 young talents participated in the competition this time.
The conditions for registration are very simple, that is, you must lift an iron lock weighing approximately 300 kilograms with one hand.
This condition is enough to filter out the miscellaneous fish whose strength attribute is lower than 60 points.
Of course, spell caster contestants have other assessment items.
If it weren't for these limited capabilities, I'm afraid there would be many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
However, even though there are many participants in this conference, the overall process still only lasts for one day, so in order to save time, we may first go to the team battle screening mode, and then one-on-one decisive battle mode.
Many big figures from the giant city will be present at the conference.
As long as you perform well, you will have a chance to be respected and get an official position in the giant city.
Even if we take a step back, those young people who perform well in competitive competitions can still be hired by wealthy businessmen with huge sums of money, even if they are not favored by military officers.
For young people from civilian backgrounds, this is an opportunity that can change their destiny!
Zong Shen doesn't have so many fancy ideas. He doesn't need to think about it to know that this competitive meeting may have changed a lot.
Through the strategy module, he can fully understand the real-time situation.
Nowadays, a magic circle with sealing and isolating properties is being secretly arranged in the venue.
It seems that Marquis Henry has made it clear that he has the idea of "closing the door and beating the dog."
Originally, Zong Shen planned to stay in the manor today.
But after all, he is a guy who can't take any time off.
Thoughts came and went, so I decided to give my name as early as possible.
Given the conditions he and Xiao Heizi were in, he could easily lift a three-ton iron lock with one arm, let alone a three-hundred-kilogram iron lock.
And he also planned to observe the situation while signing up.
The registration point in the city is located near the South Gate No. 7 from the first circle to the second circle.
This is also the only registration point in the city, occupying a large area of empty space.
There are garrisons on duty around it, and the venue can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
There were many civilians nearby who were watching with great interest.
Because occasionally among the applicants there will be outstanding ones with strong physiques, such as the stinky little Heizi.
It casually yawned and lifted the 300 kilogram iron lock, causing the onlookers to exclaim.
You must know that the power levels of the Endless Continent vary greatly.
An ordinary farmer may not be able to break through ten points with the highest four attributes.
As for the highest attribute among the four attributes of a legendary strongman, he should at least start in the thousandth rank.
So for ordinary civilians, watching the selection is almost like watching a strongman competition.
Xiao Heizi is not good at acting, so he unintentionally pretended to be able to lift the iron lock so easily. His [Strength] attribute was at least over 180 points.
This has reached the fifth level, even close to the sixth level.
He is considered a talent with great potential.
Therefore, his name was specially registered by the garrison officer in charge of the registration level, and he was issued an information plate, indicating that the garrison was willing to give him the opportunity to enter the Lieutenant Camp for further training.
The nature of the Lieutenant Camp is similar to that of a military academy on Earth. It is a place designed to train lieutenant officers for the garrison.
This high regard aroused the envy of the applicants around him.
Xiao Heizi lazily put away the information card without explicitly agreeing.
Zong Shen watched the pretense with great interest. It felt like a high school student entering kindergarten. He could attract attention by showing off casually, and even received "candy" to appease him.
Compared to Xiao Heizi, Zong Shen's own acting skills are much better.
At least he pretended to be struggling to lift the iron lock. Although the thing was as light as an egg in his hand, he still acted very hard.
Finally, Xiao Heizi got rid of the garrison officer's warm welcome and returned to his master. More applicants came from all over the city, and the scene suddenly became more lively.
…
Just when Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi were having fun at the registration site.
Core area, the entrance to the Marquis Castle Garden.
A knight wearing heavy knight armor and two redbud flowers on his chest came to the guard at the door and dismounted, then reached out and pulled open the movable visor.
Revealing a face with slightly white temples and slight forehead wrinkles.
His expression is calm, with a brown beard on his lips. His temperament is calm and elegant, but his eyebrows are tough, with a kind of power that comes from fighting between iron and fire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The guards were very polite to him, but they still set up their halberds as usual.
"Good day, Lord Quinnir!"
"Ahead is the Marquis Castle. If you don't have orders, please stop."
"If anything happens to you, we can notify you."
As the core of the giant city, not everyone can enter the Marquis Castle.
Even Kunir, the squadron leader of the Dragonborn Knights, is like this.
The sergeant in charge of guarding here obviously recognized Quinnier, but he still had to follow procedures.
In this regard, Quinnier acted very calmly, which was the rule.
The castle belongs to the private property of the Marquis, and outsiders must be notified when entering, unless they are invited by him or summoned temporarily, otherwise this is an essential process.
So he nodded slowly and said calmly.
"I'm here to see His Highness the Prince."
"Please inform me."
"Also, please give me Calus some water and alfalfa fodder with egg white."
He maintained the demeanor of an officer and asked the guards to inform him, while taking the horses to feed and water him.
This is the privilege of the Dragonborn Knights, and they can ask for water and fodder at any institution in the giant city.
For the giant city of Lentax, which has a large number of mules, horses and cattle, there are stables and feeding grounds of varying sizes almost everywhere, including the entrance point outside the Marquis Castle.
There is a small stable just a few dozen meters away.
At his order, one of the guards took away the war horse, and the other guard took out the magic horn to conduct short-distance communication and contact the guards in the castle.
The prince that Quinnier talks about is Carter.
And he came to the castle specifically this time to discuss in detail the exploration of the demonic ruins.
Originally, this task would not be carried out until another month.
For this reason, he also attracted many good guys to join him.
But I don’t know who leaked the news. Prince Carter knew about it and insisted on joining in.
They agreed some time ago to have a detailed discussion today (Chapter 618).
In fact, Kunir didn't want the prince to get involved.
The demonic ruins have nothing to do with the blood-burning demons. They are mainly the ruins left by the demon hunters among the elves who voluntarily degenerated in exchange for demonic power.
According to the information he read in the classics, there might be a way to control the power of demons hidden in it.
If the prince gets involved, it will be a big trouble.
After all, the power of demons is a forbidden power in the Endless Continent.
And the characters he originally attracted were all little Karamies who could be discarded at any time.
But if the prince goes, the situation will be different.
Even if he really found a way to control the power of demons by then, Kunir would not be able to openly use it on himself.
However, no matter how reluctant he was, after the prince spoke, he had to come.
Therefore, he is actually not in a good mood today, but as a lord and an officer of the Knights, he has long been accustomed to a life of keeping his emotions and anger to himself, and he always looks calm.
After the guard made the announcement, it took about five or six minutes for the results to be available.
The prince almost forgot about this matter.
After experiencing these twists and turns in the city, he had long lost interest in exploration.
After all, it was just a temporary idea at the time, and I thought it was fun, so I contacted Quinnier.
But now he just wants to take Penny away from here immediately after the competition.
But since Quinnier came here specially, he would not turn others away.
At least I have to call him into the castle to meet him.
The prince who lives temporarily in the castle is equivalent to half the owner here.
There are many people who ask to meet with the prince every day.
So Marquis Henry divided the reception room on the second floor for Prince Carter's use.
At this time, Prince Carter had just finished communicating with Archduke Jonathan.
After receiving the Grand Duke's new commitment and complete follow-up plan, his original anxiety was relieved a lot.
In the past two days, we only need to wait for the arrival of the legendary strong men from the giant city of Dabos.
The Storm Knight and the high-level Dragon Shadow Knight who had been staying outside the city beforehand also moved according to his instructions.
He was not prepared to inform Marquis Henry of this matter.
Instead, they plan to use high-end storage items that can hold living creatures, so that these empty knights can first transfer their mounts to the storage space, and then quietly enter the city.
With clear arrangements in place, his mood improved a lot.
Just as he was about to invite Penny out of town to ride horses and enjoy the flowers, Quinnier came.
Prince Carter, who was in a good mood, decided to meet him, and then politely told him about his change of mind.
Breaking an appointment is a very shameless thing among nobles.
The old aristocrats never break their promises, and even tie the promise to family honor.
But Prince Carter obviously did not have this awareness.
When he put on a decent dress and came to the living room on the second floor.
Quinnier was already sitting stiffly at the table, and the maid was pouring tea for him.
Seeing the prince arriving, Kunir quickly stood up, his armor clanging against each other.
"Salute to you, your great prince."
Quinnier bowed and saluted.
Prince Carter was seen looking at Quinnir, who was wearing full armor, with great interest.
The Dragonborn Knights belong to the National Knights Order and have branches in all the major cities in the Kingdom of Avalon.
The knights of each major city were independent of the garrison system.
He has a separate set of military ranks and accepts orders from the Archon of the Giant City and the headquarters of the Knights.
The sizes of knights in giant cities vary from place to place, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.
The required funds are jointly handled by the Knights Headquarters and the Giant City Finance Department.
For example, armor equipment and exotic war horses are uniformly distributed by the kingdom, while expenses such as venues, training, logistics, etc. are borne by Jucheng.
As a rapid response force, the Knights adopted a rotation system.
During the duty period, knights must wear full armor to ensure that they are ready for combat at any time.
The rights of various institutions in the city to feed war horses are also to ensure one thing.
The punitive force sent by the giant city of Lentax to occupy Odo Village was led by Kunir.
After some rigid etiquette and greetings, Quinnier took his seat again.
Prince Carter pretended to be dignified and calmly picked up the tea cup.
He has long been accustomed to putting on airs in front of outsiders to maintain the dignity of the prince.
One of the required courses for the royal family is to learn how to "put on airs".
Quinnier didn't find this surprising.
He waited until the prince put down the tea cup before speaking slowly.
"Your Highness the Prince."
"I'm here today to discuss with you the exploration of demonic ruins."
"That ruins are not far from Lentax."
"There is a powerful magic restriction on the periphery."
"Forcibly breaking it will cause violent mountain collapse."
"According to calculations based on magic power, the ban will remain in place for at most one month."
"We can officially start exploring after the ban is lifted."
Quinnier shared the information he had, which was considered "routine".
"hehe…"
Prince Carter listened to him patiently and chuckled slightly awkwardly.
Then he raised his hand and touched the hair on his forehead to cover up his embarrassment.
"Well..."
"Sorry, Ser Quenir."
"I have to leave the giant city of Lentax after the tournament."
"So this prince has no chance to participate in this exploration."
"I wish you good luck in martial arts, Sir."
He said apologetically that breaking an appointment was not something he could do with confidence.
