Chapter 505 Sir Ilea, Where's Your Horse?

Miss Rabbit went out in high spirits early in the morning and came to the competition arena, but she waited all morning but it was not her turn.

Fortunately, at noon, the food is in charge here, and the food is not bad.

The girl cooked a bowl of stewed venison steak, half a chicken pie, and ate two pieces of raisin custard, but she didn't touch the beer stewed rabbit.

Feeling stretched to the throat, so I took a rest for a while and ate another butter apple before the waiter cleared the table. I really couldn't eat it anymore, so I hiccupped while holding a flagpole.

Ferdinand couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her, "Is it really okay if you are like this, don't you have to play in the afternoon?"

"It's okay, it's just a small scene, I, hicc—it won't matter, hicc—"

"........."

"Let me get you something to drink."

"Well, that's fine."

The female lord drank some mead, felt a little smoother, and then said with emotion.

"I know why everyone wants to come to the capital, hiccup—the food alone is much more than that in the Western Territory, and there are martial arts tournaments to watch, but...

"But I don't know why, the big shots I've met these days living here, hiccup—feel like they're not very happy."

"It's because they usually think about more things." Ferdinand said, "They are different from us. They have a larger territory to manage and a larger population. Of course, they will encounter more troubles."

"But this is the meaning of enjoying delicious food, isn't it, it can make you forget about those troubles for a while."

Because of the mead, the girl's cheeks were stained with a faint blush.

"Don't just enjoy the delicious food and forget about business." The Patriarch of the Bathory family reminded.

"You are the dragon-slaying hero proclaimed by His Majesty, the fourth female knight of the empire, and many eyes are staring at you. Once you perform unsatisfactory in the martial arts competition, I am afraid that many people will be waiting for you." It’s worse than a well.”

The female lord was about to speak when her eyes suddenly went dark.

But the sun was blocked by a long-faced man. He was dressed in a typical knight's dress, wearing armor and carrying a sword on his waist, but the most eye-catching thing was the pair of ears on the top of his head.

It is shorter than Miss Rabbit's, and there are black and white patterns at the base of the ears.

"Excuse me, are you Sir Ilea?" the man asked.

"you are……"

"José the Prudent, son of Flyfoot Valls, of the House of Villeneuve..."

"I know the Villeneuve family. You were originally vassals of the Wetin family."

Hearing the female lord mention that name, Jose's face flashed an unnatural expression, "We are now loyal to the Drummond family."

"Well, what do you want from me? Sir Jose, hicc—"

"Just came to say hello, I'm your next contestant." Jose said with his head held high.

"I have long wanted to experience the power of the dragon slayer knight. I hope you can hold on under my sword for a long time, so that I can show my outstanding martial arts skills to His Majesty and other audiences."

"Uh... what's your name?"

"Jose, remember this name, because your journey to the martial arts tournament will stop here."

"No, I mean the nickname in front of you. Everyone calls you the cautious Jose, but you don't look cautious at all." Miss Rabbit asked doubtfully.

Jose's eyes turned cold when he heard the words, "You should be glad that you are a woman, otherwise, based on what you said just now, I will kill you later in the martial arts competition."

"Wow, are you threatening me?" The female lord's eyes widened.

"So what?" Jose snorted coldly, "When it comes to the martial arts arena, but even martial arts have the final say, and your foreign god can't protect you."

"It's fine to offend me, you really should have more respect for Saturday." The girl said seriously.

Jose didn't take it seriously, "I will prove to everyone that martial arts competitions are for men, and you don't belong here."

Without waiting for the female lord to reply, he turned around and strode away.

Miss Rabbit hiccupped again, and asked Ferdinand, "Does everyone have this part of talking harshly before the game, or is it just..."

"It's just aimed at you." The Patriarch of the Bathory family said, "My opponent didn't tell me anything before the fight."

After a pause, he added, "But it may also have something to do with personality."

"Very well, I'm already getting angry." The female lord moved her wrist and fingers.

"I'm going to take him down in one round."

After a while, when the contest before him was over, the referee finally called the girl's name.

Miss Rabbit, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked to the center of the venue with Ge Lipeng.

And Jose and his retinue knights soon arrived, and the referee who presided over the contest checked first to confirm that neither side of the contest was carrying hand crossbows or poison.

The referee was obviously stunned when he saw the three dueling pistols and a flintlock ax pinned to the female lord's waist, but he didn't say anything when he asked that there were no arrows hidden in them.

After that, Jose and Ilea separated again, and each went to one end of the arena.

Here, Ge Lipeng helped the female lord complete the final firearm inspection, and filled the gunpowder and bullets. After doing all this, he silently retreated to the side.

On the other side, Jose also made all the preparations and got on the horse.

The referee looked at the girl again, couldn't help but asked again, "Sir Ilea, where is your horse?"

"I don't need a horse." Miss Rabbit said confidently.

Although she learned how to ride a horse during the journey from the green field to the capital, she was only able to ride a horse. As for fighting on horseback, don't even think about it.

Moreover, you need to keep your arms as stable as possible to shoot, and you can aim more accurately when you dismount.

"Are you sure you're going to fight the enemy on foot?" The referee seemed a little hard to understand the girl's choice. After all, cavalry still had a great advantage over infantry.

He has presided over the martial arts competition all morning. Generally, the contestants try to take advantage of it within the rules. This is the first time I have seen someone put themselves at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

"I'm sure." The female lord nodded with certainty.

"Okay then, I'll announce the contest..."

"Wait." Miss Rabbit said again at this time, "Before the fight starts, can I say a few more words to Sir Jose?"

"If necessary..."

"Yes, yes," the female lord took a few steps forward, put her hands next to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted at her opponent on the other side.

"Surrender, before it's too late, as long as you surrender now and repent for your previous words that offended Saturday, I will spare your life, otherwise, God's punishment awaits you.

"I will use a terrifying power that you have never seen before, and I will beat you severely. First, your horse will die suddenly, and then your left leg will be injured and become a cripple.

"At this point, if you are still stubborn, hehe, then don't blame me for taking your life. Well, I'm done."

The girl said to the dumbfounded referee.
