"She" gently repeated the conversation going on in the tent for Shade:
[Eric Folan said: Those people in the Mirror Society are so bold. Are they crazy?]
[Charles Fullan said: Brother, what exactly do they want to do when they attract that relic? Hasn’t the Mirror Society been committed to finding a space suitable for human survival outside the material world? Although it was punished because of its extremely extreme methods.
The church identifies them as an illegal group of magicians, but they are not lunatics who kill people at will.】
[Eric Folan said: Since last spring, the entire material world has become normal. No matter what they want to do, it has nothing to do with us. After today's game, I talked with Delrayon about
The communication on the time, place and venue of the negotiation is almost over. Let’s leave Tobesk City as soon as possible.】
Because "she" was narrating it, Shade could only hear the voice but not the specific tone. "She" paused, and then Shade actually heard the footsteps in the tent.
"The silence spell has been withdrawn, they are coming out!"
He hurriedly retracted his fingers, then turned and left the camp area of the Fulan brothers.
"But what about the Mirror Association? During the Battle of Pantanal, they would cooperate with Pantanal Voodoo. During the Battle of Randall Valley last month, I also heard that they sent people to hinder the activities of the church.
"
On the way back, he was still thinking about whether this organization that he had never had direct contact with would have an impact on his peaceful life when he entered Tobesk. Then he realized that the president of the illegal ring warlock organization [Mirror Association] was this
A rare thirteen-ring warlock "Mirror Hidden Man" in the material world of this era.
Shade wanted to tell Yin Luna about the "Mirror Association", but he could not contact the seventeen-year-old girl directly. Therefore, he could only tell Dorothy and Ti about what he had just heard after returning to his tent.
Fa, let the girls be careful this afternoon and try to stay in the tent and not move around at will.
In this way, the time came to half past one in the afternoon. The writer lady, who had been holding a pocket watch to prevent Shade from missing the time, urged Shade to put on his helmet, and then Tifa and her sent Shade to the arena.
Entrance.
Because this was the last game of this year's event, and it was the first time in recent years that real swords were allowed to be used for fighting, even people who failed to get tickets were very excited and flocked to the fence at the entrance of the arena to try to
Find a good spot with a view of the field.
After Shade, Tifa, and Dorothy temporarily left, Shade's opponent, Sir Hells from Coldwater Port, who was supposed to be entering the scene now, unexpectedly appeared near Shade's camp.
Everyone around him seemed like they couldn't see him, and no one said hello to him. But Sir Hulls, who was expressionless, walked through the crowd heading towards the entrance of the arena to watch the game with a strange walking method.
When they arrived at the entrance of Shade's camp, not even the witch's followers noticed the arrival of a stranger.
"Meow?"
But fortunately, the cat who was taking a nap on the box containing the "Night Watcher", Mimi Huhu felt that the box under him was shaking slightly, so the awakened cat closed his eyes and first tried to shake his body and match its frequency.
Unanimous, to achieve the goal of no longer shaking. After finding that it could not be achieved, he stood up sleepily. Because Tifa and Dorothy only left for a short while and then came back, Shade left it in the tent temporarily.
After all, there were so many maids helping to watch, and he wasn't worried that Mia would wander around and get lost.
The orange-and-white cat stepped on the box and looked around, and then in its big amber eyes, Sir Hells, who no one else could see, was reflected at the entrance of the tent. The small cat didn't pay attention to the stranger and looked around again.
After looking, the cat did not see Shade. So the cat turned its head again and looked at the stranger standing at the door. The man and the cat looked at each other for a few seconds, during which Mia licked her paws.
Finally, the alert cat realized that this was a stranger with malicious intentions, so it instinctively made predatory and threatening movements to protect itself:
"Meow~"
Although the cat's meowing was not very loud, it was enough to alert the maids. They still could not see the person appearing at the door, but Shade had mentioned the magical nature of this cat many times in a boastful tone, so
The sorceresses immediately gathered to prepare to meet the enemy, and soon followed Mia's gaze towards the door of the tent.
Looking carefully, in the midday sun, the air at the entrance of the tent actually twisted unnaturally. But the ice blue light beam emitted from the fingertips of the high-ring warlock passed through the unnatural twisting and left a mark on the ground.
When a small area of ice formed, the writhing mass had disappeared.
"Sir Hulls" turned around and left here, walking very quickly.
"Meow~"
Seeing that the malicious guy had left, Mia lay down again. Her body was lying on the warm box, and the little cat's head hung down from one end of the box. Her amber eyes stared at the tent entrance, looking forward to Shade.
When can I come back?
The maids were not sure what this meant, but they still gathered around the cat in a way that did not affect the cat's field of vision. Fortunately, the danger had passed.
Shade, who was missed by Mia, had already said goodbye to Dorothy and Tifa at the entrance of the arena, and then led his horse into the arena.
Sir Hulls had not arrived yet, but the audience who saw Shade entering the room first shouted his name with the greatest enthusiasm. Shade squinted his eyes and looked at the high auditorium, and then waved to people according to etiquette.
.
The heavy armor made the movement of raising his legs slow, and the warm sunlight made Shade feel tight in his chest in the armor. Although the final duel was allowed to be mounted on horseback at the beginning, in fact, the game was allowed to continue even if the horse fell off the horse.
It will end when one party loses consciousness or voluntarily admits defeat. Of course, out of chivalry, there is no need to worry about someone taking advantage of the rule of not killing people to mess around.
The long sword used in the competition was provided by the royal family. It was a steel sword slightly longer than the "Night Watch". It was forged from Litrux steel, the same material as the core furnace cabin of military steam engines. The hilt and scabbard were both Cavendish.
The royal emblem is withered, and the sword is drawn out. The sword has just been maintained with sword oil. The oil has a strong smell, but it can still shine in the sunlight.
This is a pretty good steel sword.
"I wonder if I can ask to take this sword back if I win."
While Shade was wielding the long sword to adapt to the length and weight of the blade, Sir Hells also led the horse into the arena from the other direction. His walking method at this time had become normal, but he did not interact with Shade.
When De spoke, he did not approach Sha De. Instead, he took his weapon and stood aside quietly, holding his sword and waiting.
Shade, who was dancing the sword, glanced at him in surprise, feeling that this old knight from Coldwater Port seemed a little different from what he had been in the morning. He believed in his inspiration and wanted to find out what was going on, but he wanted to
As he walked past, he was stopped by servants who were arranged nearby to help the players prepare their horses and replace their weapons.
"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry. According to the regulations of the competition, before the start of the competition, in order to prevent accidents, the two contestants cannot have direct contact."
"I feel like I'm going to be in bad luck."
Shade groaned in his heart and glanced at Sir, who was not looking at him at all. The uneasiness in his heart became stronger:
"Does the method given by Helen and Grace work?"
At the same time, Tifa and Dorothy did not go to the auditorium like they did a few days ago, but returned to the camp according to Shade's instructions. They had just entered the camp and noticed the nervous expressions of the maids, but before they could wait,
After the maids left behind talked about Mia's strange behavior just now, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from outside.
Miss Writer and the head maid looked at the tent door together. Yin Luna hurried in with three ring warlocks:
"Where's Shade?"
The seventeen-year-old girl actually asked in a panic. Dorothy frowned slightly:
"There are still two minutes until the game starts. Of course he has already entered. Miss Bayas, what happened?"
"Ladies, did any stranger come here just now?"
Captain Moody Robinson next to Yin Luna asked in a deep voice. Tifa and Dorothy almost immediately realized the reason for Mia's abnormal behavior just now. And Yin Luna stood on the [Night Watch] sword box from Mia.
The expression on his face as he looked around revealed something.
"should not."
The blond writer shook his head and told lies, and then asked:
"Excuse me, what happened?"
The identity of the ring warlock cannot be exposed. Yin Luna pursed her lips and said uneasily:
"The superior cooperation department of our security company discovered Jazz's body five minutes ago, but there was a report just now that Jazz had entered the arena. Therefore, someone replaced Sir Huls and entered the arena pretending to be him. The other party
The purpose was to win the competition as Lord Hulls and then make some remarks that were detrimental to the unity of the kingdom when he was awarded the title by the King and Queen."
"Yes, the other party is a spy from the Carsonrick Gray Gloves organization. We are worried that he will take action against Mr. Hamilton in advance."
Team leader Mr Robinson added.
According to the characteristics of the "faceless man", both Dorothy and Tifa understood that the other party's purpose should be to ask everyone about the whereabouts of their brother when speaking, and then forcibly trigger their own curse characteristics.
Dorothy took a deep breath to make her tone normal:
"We watched Shad enter the arena, and no one took action against Shad outside the arena in advance. Since someone is participating in violation of regulations, let's terminate the game now!"
