Chapter 687 Provocation

The Royal Knights were attacked by assassins. The news spread very quickly. The guards of the whole city began to search for criminals. Anthony, who was in the palace, of course knew the news, but he heard that Li Huailin was not in danger. Anthony was also loose. Take a breath.

"I really didn't expect that the other party would dare to carry out an assassination in the city. This simply doesn't take me seriously." Anthony said.

"It's a little strange, this assassination plan." After reading the report, Queen Marina said, "The number of people is too small. Is it possible for such an assassination plan to succeed?"

Since none of the people below knew about the letter from the rebels, they did not report Romerig's matter to them. Neither Anthony nor Marina could deduce what was going on.

"Dernate, send another team of Royal Cavaliers to protect the Duke of Aquitaine no matter what happens, understand?" Anthony thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Ternate replied.

Of course, it's not just King Anthony's side, the Athletic Conference also received the news immediately. Of course, their focus is not whether the King's Guard was attacked, but the people who came.

His Royal Highness is sick and unable to come, which somewhat disappoints these knights who are going to show off their talents. After all, they come to participate in the competition for the purpose of attracting attention. The best thing in this is naturally to be favored by the king. Even if they reach the sky in one step, if the king does not come, their hard work will be useless.

But soon another astonishing news came. The person who came instead of His Royal Highness was Li Huailin, the Duke of Millions. All the players were boiling in an instant. For them, Li Huailin's attraction was more attractive than that of the king. The strength is still strong.

These knights who are waiting to apply for a job naturally know Li Huailin's situation. Li Huailin, the powerful man in the empire who covers the sky with his hands, has not had a real knight under his command, which means that he is definitely looking for some Going back personally, compared to the Royal Knights Guards, if Li Huailin takes a fancy to it, it will definitely be a more refreshing step to the sky. Of course, the reason is not limited to this. The so-called knights naturally want to participate in the battle. After becoming a knight, their goal is to gain military exploits, and Li Huailin's current situation, the imperial marshal and military god, how comfortable it is to fight under his hands Ah, compared to the Royal Knights, which are difficult to enter the battlefield, it is obvious that Li Huailin's side is a good choice.

After the news spread, some knights who didn't intend to participate in the competitive competition also rushed over. Even if they don't have the strength, it's good to get to know the Duke of the Empire.

In a small bar called Black Hat in the slums of God's Bless City,

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a long sword on his back rushed into the bar while shouting: "Leader, head, big event, big event."

"What's the matter, Rui Tan?" On the bar, a female knight stood up and said to this young man named Rui Tan.

"Gina, where's the leader?" Rui Tan asked immediately.

"Over there..." Gina pointed to an uncle in his thirties who was lying on the floor next to him and said, "I've been drinking all night and I'm sleeping now."

"Leader, head." Rui Tan immediately woke up the head and said, "It's a big event."

"What's the big deal?" The leader slowly woke up, and said very unhappy, "What's more important than my sleep."

"Captain, I just heard that the million-dollar duke is going to watch the knight competition instead of the king." Rui Tan said immediately.

"What is a million-dollar duke... Wait, a million-dollar duke? Aquitaine duke?" The head of the group woke up a little and asked.

"That's right, it's the Millionaire Duke." Ritan said.

"According to the rumors, the Duke of Aquitaine doesn't seem to have any knights of his own. Could it be that the purpose of going to the knight competition this time is to choose suitable knights?" Gina walked over and said.

"Yes, yes, I think so too. Didn't you always say that the millionaire duke is the owner of your imagination? Now that he chooses knights, shouldn't we go and see?" Rui here Said frankly.

"Yeah, it's a pity not to see our Millionaire Duke's demeanor, but I don't know how tolerant he is, will he dare to accept us?" The head of the group said with a smile.

"Finally able to fight. I haven't fought for more than three months. It's great!" said St. Regis here.

"Captain, are you sure that this millionaire duke is the one we're looking for?" Gina asked.

"I don't know, but for now, there is no one better than him, so let's go and have a look first." The leader got up after speaking, and adjusted his clothes a little, "Really, yesterday I just used my sword for drinking, so today it seems that I can only fight empty-handed."

"How about I borrow it from you, Captain?" Gina said with a smile.

"No need, I don't care about your rapier." The leader shook his hand, "Empty hands are enough."

Back to Li Huailin, at this time the convoy has arrived at the gate of the arena. At this time, the nobles who have heard the news of the arrival of the Duke of Aquitaine are already waiting at the gate of the arena. Li Huailin's face They didn't dare not give it, and they all waited in line. Many passers-by and knights who were going to participate in the competition were also watching Li Huailin at the door, but the guards had already pulled up the protective line to prevent anyone from approaching.

"Master Duke!" Seeing Li Huailin getting off the car, all the nobles rushed to say hello to Li Huailin.

"Oh? Hello, everyone." Li Huailin waved his hand casually, "Anthony accidentally caught a cold. Today, I'll take a look on his behalf. I'll find out if there's anyone who can beat me. Let's do what we want."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone quickly replied.

Looking up at the arena, isn't it the place where the players used to PK? It looks like it was reserved by an NPC today. Under the leadership of the waiter, Li Huailin and his party moved towards the prepared box. Of course, there are hundreds of people from the Royal Knights, so it is impossible to all come in, so they can go to the control position first, and only a few dozen people are still guarding. By Li Huailin's side, it also includes Romerig who is following behind.

Walking into the lobby, Romerig here suddenly took a step forward and said to Li Huailin, "My lord, I'm going to the player area, so I'll take my leave first."

"Oh, that's right, then play well, I look forward to your performance." Li Huailin said.

"Please don't worry, my lord." Romerig nodded gracefully, without being too entangled.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait! Stop!"

Everyone was immediately attracted, and of course Li Huailin also looked over, and found that it was a soldier of his own guard who suddenly stopped an unusually tall knight in heavy armor next to him.

Li Huailin recognized it. This guard should be one of the several skilled candidates brought by Reg to be nominated as his own knight. The name is Rixon, and the man in heavy armor does not seem to be the Royal Knights. The person who should be one of the players participating in the competition. The whole body of this person is covered in heavy armor, making him invisible at all, but the height of the opponent is very obvious, because he is at least 2 meters tall, and he has to lower his head to see the opponent when he stands in front of Rixon, and The body is so strong that standing there is like a wall.

"What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked lightly.

"My lord, this man just hit my scabbard with his scabbard." Rixon replied immediately, "This is an obvious provocative act."

"Oh? Provocative?" Li Huailin turned to the man in heavy armor, looked at the name displayed on the other side's head, and it showed Leidnor, "Rednor? He said you were provocative? What do you say? "

"My lord duke, of course I dare not and cannot provoke you, but I admit that I am provoking this knight." Raidenor pointed to Rixon and said, he did not know that Rixon has not yet To carry out the ordination ceremony is only a knight candidate.

"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled, "Why are you provoking my people?"

"Because I think the knights around you are too weak, and they are not worthy to stand beside a great person like you. I think a weak person like this should give up his position quickly..."

"What did you say!" Rickson directly interrupted Leidnor, "Are you going to challenge me?"

"Of course, isn't what I said obvious enough?" Leidnor spread his hands and said.

"Stop, what do you look like!" Reg on the side stepped forward and said, "Rickson, you know what's going on now. The assassin just came to attack, and now you're out of personal grievances..."

"Regg..." He was teaching his subordinates, but Li Huailin suddenly stopped him, and then turned to Leidenor, "Are you confident in your own strength?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, I think I'm better than these people." Radnor said.

"You!" All the knights present burst into anger, including those from the Royal Knights.

"That's all right. I came here to see if there is anyone who can fight. If you can do it, I welcome you very much." Li Huailin said.

"Hahahahaha..." Leidnor laughed loudly, it seems that his method really succeeded, "Don't worry, I will never let you down."

After finishing speaking, Radnor turned to Rickson, lowered his head and said, "Little one, come and try, my uncle will let you."

"My lord." Rixon turned to Li Huailin and said in a questioning tone.

"I also want to see the strength of the so-called candidate selected by Reg, Rickson, fight hard." Li Huailin said.

"Yes, my lord." Rixon was already eager to try, and nodded immediately when he heard the order.
