Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

on the arena.

fighting.

Still going on.

……

"Mr. Kress, your previous battle is really impressive..."

In the knight lounge, several paunchy nobles or businessmen had come to try to talk to Kress.

"... I don't know, is Mr. Kress willing to become our family's long-term hedge knight? We are willing to offer three times your current salary as an offering!"

"Mr. Kress!"

Another tall and thin businessman interrupted the nobleman in front of him, and quickly said——

"Mr. Kress, I am willing to pay ten times the salary and hire you to be the lifelong guard captain of our caravan! And, if you want, we very much welcome you to join our chamber of commerce shareholders and become a member of us."

"Everyone!"

A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded, and then a nimble and graceful figure appeared beside Kress from the crowd.

"...Master Kress will not agree to your employment request!"

Rubia stopped everyone arrogantly and domineeringly. With the adventurer's leather armor on his body, he looked a bit like a professional knight attendant.

"What nonsense are you talking about, a servant!"

It seems that someone is dissatisfied.

He was about to forcefully move forward, but stopped in the next moment.

Because Kress moved.

Kress stretched out his hand slightly to hold Rubia's shoulder, signaling him to step back temporarily.

Then he looked at the nobles and wealthy businessmen who were throwing olive branches.

"Gentlemen……"

Kress's words were calm and magnetic, a powerful voice that even aristocrats could hardly learn, like a voice born to belong to a leader.

"...Thank you very much for your kind invitation. However, I have already been employed by another family. During the employment period, I can no longer accept employment that violates it. Farewell."

After saying that, Kress turned and left.

"Master Kress..."

There are still nobles who seem to want to give it a go, and hurriedly shouted——

"...I don't know, can I make an appointment for Mr. Kress's employment contract in advance?"

Kress stopped slightly.

In fact, he was a little annoyed by these people. The so-called employment by other families was just a cover...

But tearing their faces apart and telling them to leave is not what a high-level adventurer should behave.

"Miss Rubia is my companion and one of the people I trust the most. If you want to make an appointment to hire someone, you can talk to her directly..."

After transferring the trouble to Rubia, Kress left the noisy place that made him irritated.

And the group of noble merchants just now flocked to Rubia almost without exception...

"Miss Lubia, please cooperate with our family..."

"Miss Lubia, please take a look at the reward proposed by our Patriarch..."

"Miss Rubia, we will definitely not let you down, Mrs. Lei and Kress..."

"Miss Rubia..."

At this time, the appearance of the nobles flocking to Rubia is really a world of difference from the previous appearance of disdain for Rubia.

And Rubia...

She completely ignored the nobles in front of her who kept fawning on her.

"Master Kress just said that I am the person he trusts the most, hehehe..."

Rubia whispered to himself, and at the same time, the whole person began to laugh unconsciously.

This made the nobles and wealthy businessmen around them puzzled for a while, only thinking that...

Could it be that his proposal is promising?
……

Rubia:
etc!Master Kress hasn't told me yet, when will his employment period end this time? !
Forget it, then reject them all!Hahaha……

……

The Hesmu City Arena is located in the center of the city, covering an extremely large area. It has three large-scale battle arenas and several small and medium-sized battle arenas.

Moreover, funded by the kingdom and nobles, there are members of the Association of Mage to enchant part of the facilities in the arena.

Countless merchant nobles would hire knights and gladiators to participate in competitions and battles, and what they did was not just pure entertainment.

In any case, these series of measures have given Hesmoor City Arena a great reputation, and it has also made the knight competition deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At this moment, Kress, who had just left the noisy knight's lounge, also inadvertently came to the corridor closest to the battle field...

"Empire swordsman - Soshiya, defeated the hedge knight Rando."

The voice of the competition host came, but it was not as full and powerful as before.

The original victory was not cheered by the audience.

Kress felt a little weird, and came to the edge of the corridor, where he happened to be able to see the whole picture of the arena...

He lifted his faceplate slightly, and in the center of the arena, Lando, a famous hedge knight in the kingdom wearing knight armor, fell powerlessly to the ground.

All the audience around fell into a strange silence...

Because, it was a drunkard, a disheveled and sluggish drunkard who defeated the Randyll Knight... Moreover, this drunkard came from the enemy country of the Fritz Kingdom - the Empire.

While Kress was carefully observing the alcoholic swordsman named Soshia in the arena, a participating knight in a silver-white full-body armor was also observing the arena on the opposite seat of the arena.

In a trance, the two seem to have feelings at the same time, and their eyes meet...

Kress and the silver and white knight looked at each other silently, and secretly, they had already remembered each other—except for Soshiya, another threatening and powerful opponent.

……

Hesmoor City.

Jesc Knight Competitive Martial Arts Tournament.

In this grand event of knights and adventurers, Kress has defeated several extremely expensive hired knights in a row, and now he has become one of the most popular players with the most potential to win the championship.

In fact, Kress knew in his heart that there were only two left who could really compete with him...

The free knights from the kingdom - "Silver" Lancer, and the mysterious swordsman from the empire's "Kun Ding" mercenary group - "Drunkard" Soshia, these two potential players are nothing more.

The former is a high-level adventurer whose level is not lower than his own and has the rare profession "Berserker", while the latter...

Is a drunkard from the empire...

A "drunkard" swordsman who can't see his level clearly!
But it shouldn't be caused by the high level of Kieran Vader, because he doesn't feel any strong aura in him, so it's more like it was caused by the use of anti-detection props.

But even so, Soshiya can still easily defeat the kingdom's famous knight Lando, and he is an opponent not to be underestimated.

And at the same time.

Rubia, the little rich man, also made a lot of money by putting all his wealth on Kress.
