What makes the commander of the Public Security Department even more troublesome is that many of these troublemakers are not ordinary people. They have some backgrounds, which makes the commander of the Public Security Department also have some headaches and embarrassment.
Not all warriors are poor people in decline!
In fact, these days, many of the contestants are even quite well-connected!
This is mainly because of what Du Wei did!
As a majestic grand duke of the empire, an imperial general, and the minister in charge of military and political affairs in the northwest, Du Wei signed up for the competition... Such behavior not only aroused lively topics, but also aroused the interest of some officials and nobles!
As children of nobles, most of these people have some "knight" titles. Of course, some of them are bought, and it does not rule out that some of them do have real abilities.
At first, everyone regarded this event as a lively event... But even the noble Grand Duke of Tulip participated in the competition! So why don't I go and have fun too!
As for the status of the nobility...even the Tulip Duke doesn't care, so what do we care about!
What's more, some people also participate for other purposes, such as taking the opportunity to make friends with the Duke. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you participate in the same competition together, you might have the opportunity to make friends with the most popular nobleman in the empire.
Woolen cloth!
As a result, many playboys from noble families in the imperial capital signed up one after another.
Many children of local nobles from other places also came to join the fun.
What makes the Public Security Department even more troublesome is... there are many guys who come to the imperial capital to compete, and they are simply lawless guys!
For example, warriors from some mercenary groups from the north!
The legalization of mercenary groups has only been two years, and these mercenary guys have been engaged in illegal smuggling for many years before! They are not afraid when facing the official army! They drink, fight and cause trouble.
Potluck!
Some mercenary groups even sent a dozen or even dozens of people to the imperial capital to compete collectively!
For most people, there is no need to think about being a champion... everyone knows what they are made of. Most people go there for the rewards of "top fifty"!
Even if you can't win the championship, it should be possible to get a spot in the top fifty!
In matters like martial arts competition, whoever has a higher level of knight will definitely win! After all, many so-called high-level knights are bought with money! God knows whether the opponent is a hard nut or a pustule!
Moreover, martial arts competitions depend on courage, the right time and place, and even luck! It is better to improvise on the spot! Although many people practice martial arts well on weekdays, when it comes to fighting with real swords and guns, their legs become weak!
And these mercenaries are all experienced! When they were smuggling in the early years, they all had adventures in the frozen forest! They had seen blood and killed people!
No matter how desperate it is... I still have a glimmer of hope: maybe my opponent will have diarrhea on the day of the competition!
In short, hope still exists!
Moreover, as long as you reach the top fifty, the rewards are really exciting!
Everyone has a set of silver armor and weapons, as well as a reward of 10,000 gold coins!
Ten thousand gold coins!! For most people, ten thousand gold coins are enough to eat and drink for most of their lives!!
You can also join the "Knights of the Sword of Roland". Although that knighthood is no longer in existence, it seems to be rebuilt now! By joining that knighthood, you can also have a stable income...
Why not?!
Relying on this excitement, Du Wei's real estate industry made another windfall!
Little Zach, a black-hearted businessman, had people rush to make a batch of "high-end weapons." Those armors were inlaid with various gold rims and gems and looked gorgeous and majestic, and the bright and dazzling swords also had Du Wei's personal
Designed with the patterns of the elves! There are also shields with wonderful patterns carved by famous painters in the imperial capital...
Putting on such a set of equipment, not to mention doing it, just standing there is enough to make the girls in the audience scream!
How much do you think a set of equipment like this could cost?
One thousand gold coins? That’s the cost! At least it costs five thousand gold coins! You can’t get it in stock yet, you have to make a reservation!! Because now the Tulip family’s workshop is at full capacity working day and night to rush production!
You have to understand the thoughts of those noble children; they will never be willing to wear the same black iron armor and hold the same ugly long sword as those ordinary mud-legged warriors!
In their opinion, if the hilt of a sword is not inlaid with a few gems, can it still be called a "sword"?
And Du Wei, the black-hearted backstage boss, shamelessly gave such a set of armor an extremely shameless name "Paladin Armor"!!
Listen! Paladin armor! It means that such gorgeous and beautiful armor is prepared for the Paladin! Then after I put it on, how can I make the armor more impressive?
What is this called? Decent!!
Du Wei's "Paladin Armor" was reserved for 500 sets in one go. Of course, the people who reserved it were not all contestants, but more of the playboys of some nobles, who used it to show off their power and dignity on weekdays.
For show.
For a time, the purpose of this martial arts competition to promote the martial arts of the empire was not achieved, but it caused a wave of collecting gorgeous weapons, armors and equipment in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital... All weapons do not need to be sharp or practical.
, that is, the more gorgeous the better!
Anyway, these people bought it back, not expecting to wear it to fight, but just to show off the scene and attract the admiring eyes and screams of some girls.
For a time, in the aristocratic circle of the empire, on many banquet occasions, some young nobles no longer liked to wear those traditional gorgeous attires. Instead, many people liked to attend dinner parties wearing military uniforms and full armor!
Of course... in order to take care of the physical strength of these young nobles who have been drunk by wine and sex, because you can't expect these people to be able to live and dance wearing a suit of armor weighing dozens of kilograms, right? For most nobles,
If you put on a real set of armor, let alone walking, it would be a miracle if you could stand without falling!
So... Du Wei went to an outrageous level in "cutting corners"!
Have you ever heard that a set of armor weighs only a dozen kilograms?
Yes! Du Wei did it!
Because this kind of armor, let alone a sword... a tree stick? No, no, no! You don’t even need a tree stick!
In Du Wei's opinion, the only use of this kind of armor is: it looks good!
As for the ability to protect...
Du Wei remembered something from his previous life: the kind of can that was made after drinking all the drinks inside! If you pinch it hard, it will flatten...
The black-hearted businessman Du Wei looked at the property report sent by little Zac and snickered immeasurably.
Then he threw away the account book in his hand, looked at little Zach, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "By the way. I remembered another good thing. I have almost sold out the weapons... Let's start this competition.
Tickets!"
"Tickets?" Little Zach was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, tickets!" Du Wei exclaimed exaggeratedly: "God, you don't think that such an important 'national' competition can be watched for free!"
Little Zach saw the evil look in the boss's eyes and secretly praised in his heart: How despicable!! He also looked excited: "You mean, it's like watching an opera? Selling tickets to watch the competition in the tournament?"
"
"That's right! That's it." Du Wei smiled.
"But... where is the venue?" Little Zach quickly thought of a key question: "The largest opera house in the imperial capital, the stage is too small for things like martial arts competitions."
Du Wei thought quickly and suddenly smiled: "What do you think of the headquarters of the Knights Association?"
The headquarters of the Knights Association is a patio-style building... Generally speaking, it is similar to the stadium that Du Wei saw in his previous life. Moreover, the flat land in the middle is as big as two football fields, and it is surrounded by three-story high-rise buildings!
Just a little modification...
Du Wei has already thought about it. When the time comes, the tickets will be divided into three categories! The first-class civilian tickets can only watch on the ground floor! This kind of ticket is the most popular! Because the square in the middle is as big as two football fields. The competition is
The arena only needs to be as big as half a football field in the middle! The rest of the free space can be used to sell tickets!
Second-class tickets are more expensive, and you can watch them on the second floor, which is condescending. If you can see more clearly, the price is naturally higher!
As for the third floor... those are VIP boxes! The price is obviously not cheap! VIP boxes are a symbol of status! Those rich and nobles are naturally willing to pay for it! At that time, I and Prince Chen were on the third floor
As soon as we sat down, the other nobles obediently paid and came to join in the fun and watch the game!
Do the math, from the preliminaries to the group stage, then the knockout rounds and finally the finals... how much money can you make from so many games!!
Du Wei probably told little Zach his idea briefly, but before he finished speaking, little Zach's eyes were already filled with greedy light!
"Boss..." Little Zach swallowed hard, and then looked at Du Wei longingly: "Can I say a word of heartfelt praise for you?"
"Uh... tell me."
Little Zach's eyes were extremely sincere. He looked at Du Wei with an expression of admiration: "Boss, if you are more black-hearted and despicable... I'm afraid no one in the entire continent can compare with you!" He paused for a moment. He was excited.
Cheers: "Boss, you are so despicable! So shameless!"
Du Wei "awkward" for a moment. Then he patted little Zach on the shoulder and said warmly: "Okay, you are not Gregory, and I am not that fat Rogge... However, I accept your praise."
