Chapter 476 What are you looking at
No wonder Miss Rabbit looked like a country bumpkin at this time. In fact, the expression on her face was similar to that of people who saw this city for the first time.
It was now the eve of the tournament, and outside the city gate there were strangers everywhere who were in a daze like the female lord.
It took a while before Ilea came back to her senses and said with emotion, "Is this the royal capital? It turns out that the stories my mothers told me when I was a child are all true. There really is such a majestic city in this world.
"No, the place called Pingdingshan in the moving picture shown by Prophet Merlin seems to be more majestic. I heard Prophet Merlin said that nearly five million people live there.
"I can't imagine what it's like for five million people to live in one city. I heard that there are nearly 400,000 people living in Lionheart Castle, which is already an astronomical number.
"There must be more people inside now." Ferdinand said, "We arrived a few days later than planned, and I don't know if there are any free rooms in the hotel."
"Don't worry, I asked someone to book a room for us in advance, but I didn't expect there would be so many of us at that time."
The female lord said while looking at the group of refugees behind her.
"What did Merlin say?" the head of the Bathory family asked.
"There is probably not much room in the city, so let them stay outside the city first. The monks who are on holiday have already gone into the city to purchase food and tents. Fortunately, it has just entered autumn, and the weather is quite hot. They can live outside for a while. Time shouldn’t be a big problem either.”
In fact, not only the followers of Shuangxiu Cult, but also many tents have been set up outside Lion Heart Castle.
His Majesty the Emperor reopened the tournament. This grand event not only attracted warriors from the empire and many people who came to watch the excitement, but also caused quite a stir among the dwarves and elves.
Especially the current queen herself is from the elf royal family, so the elves also sent a huge mission, making the city even more lively.
Not to mention empty rooms, there are not even many open spaces to sleep on, so some people have to live outside the city.
Ilea then spent some time helping Shuangxiujiao settle down the refugees who followed them.
I just ate some bread and dried meat at noon, and didn’t have time to actually enter Lionheart Castle until the afternoon.
Although Miss Rabbit was full of curiosity, she didn't have time to take a closer look and went straight to the station of the Second Knights.
Ilea told the guard guarding the gate that she wanted to see Torres. Not long after, a man with long ears like her walked out of the camp.
"Uncle Torres." The female lord's ears immediately stood up when she saw the person coming, and she said excitedly.
"Master of the house." The man bowed to the girl before saying, "You are finally here."
His tone was also full of joy, "About the previous votes..."
"It's all over. I know it was great-grandmother Ona who asked you to switch to Blanco. Ona and I have already reconciled, let alone you." Miss Rabbit said generously.
Torres was still full of apologies, "Anyway, my sudden change of heart still caused you a lot of trouble, and almost caused you to lose the election. If that were the case, I'm afraid the Arias family wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. .”
"As I said before, that is already in the past." Ilea, "Instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to look to the future. I heard you say in your letter that you will soon be able to become a knight, uncle?"
"Yes, my teacher said that I have completed almost all training and learned knightly etiquette, but if you want to become a knight in the Royal Knights, you must be taught a sword by His Majesty the Emperor.
"And His Majesty hasn't awarded a sword to anyone for a long time. It's not right to say that. In fact, he has been canonized as a knight recently."
"Which lucky person is this?" Miss Rabbit blurted out, only to react halfway through, "Wait, could it be..."
"Yes, it's you, and His Majesty even gave you his own sword." Torres was happy for Ilea, but there was also a bit of bitterness in his smile.
He was initially spotted by his teacher, and when he was eleven years old, he left his hometown and came to the royal capital with his teacher. He worked at the teacher's house for four years while learning horse riding, swordsmanship, and archery.
He didn't become a squire knight until he was fifteen years old, and he had been a knight for twelve years, during which he never returned home very often.
Seeing that he could finally make it to the end, he unexpectedly caught up with His Majesty the Emperor who believed in the Goddess of Life. He was busy exploring the way of life with the Cornelia Priest every day, and completely forgot about giving him the sword.
Theoretically, everyone from His Majesty the Emperor to small lords like Ilea have the right to canonize knights.
Torres was not so stubborn as to hang himself from a tree, but the problem was that he was now a member of the Royal Knights. As long as he did not leave the Royal Knights for a day, he would not be able to find other lords to canonize him.
I don’t know how long it will take to become a knight.
Torres then remembered something and said to Ilea, "This is not the place to chat. I have already booked a hotel for you. Let's talk about it when we get there."
The female lord didn't say anything after hearing this, and was about to leave with her uncle.
Unexpectedly, several young people walked out of the military camp behind them and came straight towards her.
When Torres saw those people, his face changed slightly, "Freckles, Young Wolf, Hercules, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting," the young man with freckles said with a smile, "I just heard that the dragon-slaying knight is coming, so I came out to admire her heroic appearance."
"She is much more delicate than the rumors say. I can't see how she could kill a black dragon. I bet she couldn't even catch my punch."
The tallest and burliest man among the three also spoke.
"It seems we can go slay the dragon." The man finally answered, "Your Majesty would rather give his sword to such a bitch than use it to canonize us. This is really the tragedy of the empire. .”
"Shut up, you bastards." Torres said angrily, "If I hear you insulting the head of the Arias family again, I will fight you in a duel."
"You can't beat me, Torres. You and I both know this." The young wolf grinned, "Besides, we are not insulting her, we are just stating a fact."
"You can leave here first and go to the Stade Hotel to report my name." Torres lowered his voice and said quickly, "I will go find you after I handle the matter here."
However, he obviously underestimated his niece's temper.
After hearing this, Miss Rabbit not only did not leave, but took half a step forward and glanced at the three people in front of her.
"What are you looking at?" Freckles asked.
"Jealous, arrogant, and pathetic. I see three complete losers. Because they can't become knights, they can only blame everyone here and vent their anger on people who are better than them." The female lord said lightly. (End of chapter)
