Working Prophet.

Chapter 516
It was very difficult for Ferdinand just to hold the weapon in his hand. Even though he had been trying his best to avoid confrontation with the Earth Bear, the sword skills of the Earth Bear were not bad, and it was impossible for him to dodge with just his footsteps. All attacks.

After only parrying two swords, his tiger's mouth was shattered, but Ferdinand still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He looked like a leaf in a torrent, about to be swallowed by the turbulent water at any time, but he could always find a way to float again.

The admiration in Edward II's eyes became stronger, and even Cornelia's gaze at Ferdinand changed.

"It seems that chivalry has not disappeared as people said, but all of them have gone to the western region." His Majesty the Emperor said.

After a pause, he asked the priestess next to him, "Can you tell the Earth Bear to save this young man's life? I quite like him."

"It's late, the Earth Bear is already angry, and he won't listen to me at this time." Cornelia shook his head and said.

"It's a pity." The emperor said with emotion.

Ferdinand had never seen the sense of oppression brought by the Earth Bear in his life. In order to cope with this terrifying pressure, he had to desperately squeeze every bit of potential in his body.

And this also raised his sword skills to a whole new level. At this time, Ferdinand had completely forgotten about everything except fighting, even including life and death.

Just trying his best to think about how to receive the next attack of the Earth Bear, the thorn in the river was waved by him into a ball of silver light.

Even a person like Ilea who doesn't know much about swordsmanship can see that Ferdinand's temperament has changed from before, giving people a chilling feeling.

But the problem is that this fool is about to die, so what's the use of him honing his swordsmanship so well?

Just like those opponents that Ilea used the Hand of Judgment to deal with, which one had worse swordsmanship than her, but in the face of absolute power, all skills were meaningless.

From this point of view, she and the Earth Bear are on the same page.

Sure enough, seeing that the opponent hadn't been defeated until now, the Earth Bear's face was a little bit uneasy, and he started to get serious.

The pressure on Ferdinand also increased, and he seemed to be able to hear the wailing of his own bones in every round of fighting.

Ferdinand clearly realized that he had reached his limit, so he was about to admit defeat, but the next moment something happened that he didn't expect.

His family heirloom sword, River Thorn, couldn't hold it one step ahead of him, and the upper half of the sword broke apart without warning.

Then Ferdinand saw the great sword of the Earth Bear slashing at his chest, and the Patriarch of the Bathory family didn't have time to feel sorry for his sword, so he hurriedly dodged aside.

But when the incident happened suddenly, his reaction was still half a beat behind. Moreover, his physical strength was exhausted during this short battle. At this moment, his body was also very tired, and he was not as flexible as before.

It was about to be slashed by the giant sword, but who knew that it was a coincidence that the Earth Bear stepped on a small stone at this time.

The right foot slipped, and even the movement of the hand shifted a little. The sword almost brushed against Ferdinand's body.

When it landed on the ground, the onlookers felt the ground tremble.

Ferdinand, who escaped from death, said without hesitation, "I admit defeat!"

However, the Earth Bear was obviously quite angry with this result. The friend who was about to kill the enemy, who knew that he was a little short in the end, so he lifted the giant sword in his hand and continued to throw it at Ferdinand.

The referee shouted, "What are you doing? The competition is over. If you try again, you will be disqualified, and the defense team will arrest you for murdering nobles!"

Along with his warning, the guards responsible for maintaining order also rushed over.

Although the giant sword in Earth Bear's hand was still swung down, the target was no longer Ferdinand, and he unleashed more than a dozen swords in a row as if venting his anger.

He mercilessly chopped the war horse that was missing a leg into several pieces, and then let out a loud roar before stopping.

He glared at his opponent again, and walked out of the arena without looking back.

And Ferdinand bent down, searching the ground for fragments of the Thorn in the River.

"A wonderful contest." Edward II commented, "Although the result is not surprising, the process is quite interesting. I can see the shadow of Essos from him.

"I should recruit him to my Royal Knights. He can be used in what we are going to do next, and it would be a waste of his talent to stay in the Western Region."

Edward II said that he had sent someone to find Ferdinand.

And when the young lord came to the stands, the emperor stood up and threw his new sword down without saying a word.

"I see your sword is broken, so use this one."

When Ferdinand caught the sword, he could feel the complicated eyes from around him, including admiration, jealousy and envy.

During this period, Edward II only sent out two swords in total, and they were all given to the lords of the Western Territory.

This makes people from other places more or less dissatisfied.

"But Your Majesty, I don't have any contests anymore."

"It's okay, you will use it later, just accept it."

After Ferdinand finished thanking him, Edward II said directly, "How about it, are you interested in working for me? You don't have to worry about Marquis Cullen, I will tell him in person.

"You can be my squire first, and then I will let you enter the Royal Knights as a branch leader."

As soon as the emperor said this, there was another burst of exclamation.

Especially those nobles who are more familiar with the history of the empire, this promotion route sounds familiar.

The ancestors of the Godwin family, one of the Twelve Great Nobles of the Empire, seemed to have started their business in this way.Is Edward II planning to reproduce the Godwin family again?

Even if it can't be done, it looks like this little-known little family is about to take off.

However, Ferdinand said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to go back to the West."

"Why?" Edward II blurted out as if he didn't expect Ferdinand to refuse.

"Are you so loyal to the Figueirola family? But Cullen doesn't seem to take you very seriously. I heard that there are only a few thousand people in your territory."

Ferdinand didn't answer, just saluted the emperor again.

Edward II also realized that he had made a bit of a slip of the tongue, and seeing Ferdinand's firm attitude, he could only regret, "Well, if you change your mind before leaving the capital, you can come to me at any time."

Ferdinand thanked him again and left the arena.

On the way back, he didn't speak again. Ilea thought he was sad for the previous defeat, and at the same time, she was a little curious why Ferdinand refused the generous terms offered by His Majesty the Emperor.

Revitalizing the Bathory family is his wish, and it has been his goal all along. Now that it can be accomplished, why give up?
Miss Rabbit thought about many possibilities along the way, and wondered if Ferdinand West had someone he liked, which was why he was so reluctant to leave.

After returning to the hotel, the answer to this question was finally revealed.

Ferdinand said seriously to Li Yu, "Prophet Merlin, I am ready to follow you and become a Saturday believer."
