Big single player

The final swordsmanship event is a team battle, five people form a team, two teams fight in the arena, and the last one standing is the winner.

However, the conference is not over yet.

The winner of the team will face the champion of the previous tournament, and only by defeating the opponent can he truly win the championship of this year's knight tournament!

And the reward for this year's champion is exactly what Lu Qi values ​​- money!

A full two hundred florins!

If you go to the bank and exchange it for Temerian kroner, that's six hundred kroner.

Six hundred crowns was enough for him to return to Temeria to recruit soldiers and form a small but elite mercenary army.

It is worth mentioning that when the clerk of the meeting asked him to take the oath of knighthood with the character he valued most and strictly abide by it in the following meeting, Lu Qi chose to take the oath in the name of freedom.

In Lu Qi's heart, freedom is what he values ​​and desires most in his heart...

. . .

In the tournament, all items will be completed within two days.

The first day was archery and horseback riding.The second day is the highlight of the team battle, and the championship battle.

Even if you can't use magic and Lu Qi, you can crush all opponents just by relying on your extraordinary physical fitness.

Especially after investigating all his opponents, he became even more calm.

Tsk tsk, no one can beat...

On the day of the conference, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing on the face, making people squint their eyes comfortably.

The arena on the outskirts of Bauclairn city was crowded with people, as if the people and nobles of the entire Toussaint had gathered in this area.

The cries of peddlers, the frolic of children, and the bragging of knights filled every corner of the arena.

As a contestant, Lu Qi has his own tent for use.

Just as he was sitting on the chair, concentrating on wiping his "Black Eagle" steel sword, a lively voice sounded from the tent door:

"Hey! Alex, we're here to cheer you up!"

Looking up, I saw Angulan, Milva, and Regis slowly walking into the tent.

"Let me guess, Dandelion is with the Duchess, and the witcher is with his dark-haired sorceress, right?"

"Yes, but they are all sitting on the stage, ready to enjoy your performance." Regis stepped forward and smiled: "I think we should come over to see how you are preparing, and by the way I wish you the championship of the tournament."

The other members of the girl-hunting team have a very intuitive understanding of Lu Qi's combat effectiveness.

If a powerful swordsman who can survive the siege of the Nilfgaardian army without any damage, and who can single out the notorious "Nightingale" group, if he can't easily win the championship of the tournament, they can't imagine that the entire Toussaint Among them, who else can challenge his existence with a single challenge.

Perhaps, demon hunters and vampires can fight against it.

However, according to what the demon hunter himself said, even with all his strength, he couldn't defeat Lu Qi, who had improved a lot in swordsmanship.

After all, swordsmanship has never been what Lu Qi is best at...

After staying with his friends in the tent for a while, Lu Qi soon ushered in his first game.

Arriving at the bustling archery range, Lu Qi, who had already changed into black soft armor, looked up at Dandelion sitting next to the duchess and Geralt sitting next to the sorceress on the high platform. His eyes were drawn back.

"Attention!"

"The next archery competition is from..."

"Game start!"

Following the order from the herald, Lu Qi's eyes sharpened, and he drew his bow and nocked the arrow!

The moment he let go, the shot arrow, like a black lightning bolt, directly hit the farthest target!

At this time, the opponent on the side just drew an arrow from the quiver...

Under Milwa's [Archery] skills, in just half a month, he has been promoted to [lv2] level, coupled with the terrible reaction speed, before the opponent has shot half of the target, Lu Qi will All hit their targets.

Not only the complete victory in the archery event, but also the horse riding event later, of course, Lu Qi won with an overwhelming advantage.

Lu Qi, who had won two cities in a row and had a huge advantage, naturally became the captain of one of the teams in the team battle.

Obviously, the other contestants are not fools, knowing that Lu Qi, a formidable opponent, is the biggest obstacle on the way to the championship.

However, the difference in combat power is too great, coupled with the honor of the knights, they are not allowed to resort to gang fights in public to deal with Lu Qi.

What surprised Lu Qi was that after he led his team to kill all the opponents of the other team, the other three members of the same team, without any discussion, unanimously surrendered to him.

In this way, amidst the deafening cheers and applause, Lu Qi entered the final championship battle without any suspense.

In the case of deliberately letting the sea go, the previous champion of the martial arts competition persisted in front of him for more than a dozen rounds, but still lost sadly.

Later, according to Toussaint's scribe records, the 1267 Knight Tournament became the least suspenseful one.

And the name "Alex from Zawada" has left a strong mark in the history of Toussaint...

Chapter 579 Sword of the Knight Wude Lake Girl

To Lu Qi, winning the championship of the Toussaint Knights Tournament was nothing more than the fulfillment of the plan, and there was nothing to brag about.

Even so, the monetary rewards and fame he got were real.

At least, he is now walking on the noisy streets of Toussaint, and he will be recognized quickly; when attending a banquet, there will be an endless stream of noble women who come forward to tease and courteous; even when he goes to the store to buy something, the boss will In his name, give him a good discount.

The benefits brought by his famous reputation made Lu Qi very satisfied with his choice to participate in the martial arts competition.

After gaining a wave of reputation and making a name for himself, Lu Qi continued to serve as Geralt's assistant while collecting any news about the war, waiting for the right time.

During this period, he also made friends with some brave and honorable Toussaint knights, many of whom were nobles of the Principality.

From these knights, Lu Qi heard a legend that spread in Toussaint.

Located in Lake Seravi on the outskirts of the city, there lives a goddess with flawless beauty, known as the fairy of the lake.

And the five virtues of chivalry revered by the entire Toussaint people for generations were endowed by this fairy in the lake.

It is said that as long as there is virtue and chivalry, there will be a fairy of the lake.

For this magical world, Lu Qi certainly doesn't think that such things as goddesses are fictional.

This was the first time he heard the legend of the goddess, and his inner curiosity suddenly occupied his entire mind.

Action is not as good as heartbeat, so he directly found a sunny day and went to Lake Sarawi, wanting to find out.

However, to his disappointment, when he came to the shore of Lake Selavi, there was no trace of other goddesses except for the stele engraved with the knight's five virtues.

At this moment, a vicissitudes of voice came to my ears:

"Alex of Zawada, come over here!"

Following the sound, Lu Qi saw an old man in a brown robe kneeling on a rock in the middle of the lake.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

Shrugging, Lu Qi walked towards the lake.

When he stepped on the edge of the lake, a miraculous thing happened: the rippling lake surface supported his whole body like walking on flat ground!

Lu Qi is very sure that the power flowing in his body is magic power, not chakra.

He is also very sure that he does not know some kind of ninjutsu that gathers Chakra to the soles of his feet to achieve such a strange effect.

Then, there is only one person who can answer his doubts

He looked up at the standing old hermit kneeling on a rock in the middle of the lake, and asked:

"Is this magic?"

"This is the extraordinary feature of this lake. Of course, you can also understand it as magic."

"What's so extraordinary about making people walk on water?"

"There is a shocking sword at the bottom of the lake. I will take care of it. Only those who have the five virtues of a knight can hold that sword."

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help looking left and right, and soon with the help of the sun, he saw a long sword lying quietly on the rocks at the bottom of the lake.

It was an extraordinary long sword that could be felt even through the lake water. It had a slightly plain appearance and exuded a faint light, which made people unable to take their eyes off it.

"Knight Wude, I know this, everyone in Toussaint regards it as the standard in their hearts to measure what they do."

"Honor, wisdom, generosity, bravery, mercy" Lu Qi shrugged, "I'm not sure if I meet all the conditions"

"However, I know very well, and I also know who you are."

"you know me?"

"A person who cannot be manipulated by fate." After a pause, the old hermit said lightly: "You have proved that you have compassion and will not abandon your companions; you are a man of honor, and many people can testify; In times of need you showed your generosity; your valor was deeds of adversity; reason guided your actions, as do all wise men"

"You have proven yourself to be a role model with the five virtues of a knight in your heart."

Frowning, Lu Qi was full of doubts and asked: "Does this mean that the sword is mine?"

"Not yet. Only the master's hand is qualified to pick up that sword. You must fight me on the water to prove that your skills are high enough to be recognized by the sword."

Hearing this, Lu Qi became more and more curious about the long sword at the bottom of the lake, and the more he felt an urge to hold it in his hand and try its power, how amazing it was.

"If that's the case, then come on!"

"Very well, draw your sword!"

After all, the old hermit in a brown robe slowly stood up and opened his arms.

In the next second, a powerful wave of magic caused the entire lake to boil.

Immediately afterwards, the lake water began to rise into the air, like a semi-circular vault formed by a water curtain, covering the entire lake.

In the hand of the old hermit, a magic staff with a faint light on the top appeared immediately,

Seeing this, Lu Qi, who had already held the steel sword in his hand, frowned, kicked hard, and suddenly turned into an afterimage, attacking the old hermit!

This battle is much more difficult than imagined.

This unknown old hermit has very high attainments in magic, and he is not far behind Vigfortez, who had completely exploded himself back then.

The hermit used water elemental magic to teleport, and then shot various water arrows and water wave blades for free. From time to time, he used a big move, and the lake turned into a roaring water dragon, biting towards Lu.

In order to catch the opponent's movements, Lu Qi turned on [Eagle Eye Vision] without hesitation from the very beginning!

After experiencing the embarrassment of being hanged and beaten in the early stage and having to dodge everywhere, Lu Qi quickly figured out the opponent's attack pattern with his super learning ability and extraordinary physical fitness, and then began to fight back.

Swish!

The hastily built water wall was sliced ​​open by a sword, and when the water splashed in all directions, the cold blade of the sword had already pierced the old hermit's neck!

Just when the blade was a few centimeters away from the neck, there was a sudden stop, followed by a calm voice:

"So, should I win?"

The corner of the old hermit's mouth curled up, his hands flashed, and the staff disappeared in a flash.

In the next second, the water curtain covering the lake suddenly turned into countless water droplets and fell with a splash.

Looking at Lu Qi who put the sword back into the scabbard, the old hermit said in a deep voice:

"Very well, you have proved that you are a brave man who is qualified to hold that sword, there is no doubt about it"

As soon as the words fell, the old hermit walked slowly into the lake as if walking down the stairs.

The lake surface, which was originally clear to the bottom, was also covered with a layer of faint blue waves, making it difficult to see clearly.

Standing on the surface of the water, waiting for a while, the water surface was slightly rippling, a long sword engraved with magic runes, with the blade upward, slowly crossing the water surface.

And the one holding the long sword tightly is a beautiful woman with naked fruits floating in the lake.

"This is the Sword of the Lake Lady."

Looking at the looming beauty in the water, Lu Qi suddenly understood something, and then said:

"I think you are the goddess of the lake in the population of Toussaint, right?"

"Yes, don't forget that you are a righteous and honorable warrior who is dedicated to doing good, so you can get this sword. Accept it."

After finishing speaking, the goddess of the lake slowly let go of her hand, intending to disappear into the rippling water of the lake.

"Wait a moment!"
