The Hangte Kingdom is known as the country of hunters and the country of warriors. Most of the people in this country are born particularly strong, and there are many craftsmen who are good at forging weapons and armor.
Poluo looked around and thought.
Before coming, he had learned about the Hangate Kingdom. Before the Sri War began, the Hangate Kingdom had the most powerful army on the surface.
But after the war from Sri began to burn and sweep, the Hangte Kingdom unexpectedly did not use the army.
And the Sri Kingdom, which is so close, has not had a confrontation with it.
"There are really a lot of hunters here."
"But it doesn't seem like they are preparing for war, but those soldiers who are really guarding the city, although they are alert, are not very nervous?"
"More like some kind of festival? Or an event?"
Next to the road, there are many hunters wearing different clothes, some wearing iron armor, and some wearing animal skins. Judging from the characteristics, there are even many different races. Obviously, these people do not come from the same place.
There were also many people who were also asking about the location in the city, and it seemed that it was the first time they came.
Under such circumstances, Lake and Polo's carriages did not appear abrupt.
But the more you get to the center, the more people you get.
"These people seem to be heading towards the palace? Is the king trying to summon these hunters?"
Although there were many people, with the help of money, Laike and Polo still saved the carriage smoothly and continued to walk towards the palace.
The palace of the Hangte Kingdom is very high, and the carvings and carvings on it all show a wild style.
And in front of the palace, there is a larger square.
A smell of blood, sweat, and beastly smell mixed together and poured into the nose—
However, for Lake and Polo, they have seen a more terrifying battlefield, so there is nothing more
In the noisy atmosphere, there were men holding swords and crossbows everywhere. Many people were carrying dead or tied prey, and even barking of hunting dogs, which sounded among the crowd.
"The palace of this Hangte Kingdom is indeed extraordinary."
"Just as the book says... Martial style is prevalent?"
The palaces of most kingdoms must not be stopped, but at least they must be clean and tidy, but this is not the case in the Hangte Kingdom.
Compared with these people, as a girl with a delicate figure, Lake seems out of place.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?"
Soon, a hunter noticed Lake, whose bright red cape was indeed very conspicuous in the crowd.
"Sir, can you tell me what you are doing here? Is there any festival today?"
Rake did not respond to the hunter, but asked directly.
"You don't know?"
The hunter was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lake's costume and showed a glimmer of a sense of pride, "It seems that you came from another place, right?"
"Yes, I just arrived here today." Lake did not hide it.
"That's right."
The hunter nodded after hearing this, and showed a proud smile. He even bent his arms and showed his muscles. "The people here are the strongest hunters in the kingdom. His Majesty the King is holding a hunting competition."
"Hunting competition?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is looking for the best hunter and then go to the magic forest in the west to hunt."
After hearing these words, Lake frowned.
After all, next to the Hangate Kingdom, the war was so fierce that the dogs were all out of their minds, but the king of the Hangate Kingdom was...hunting?
"Yes, the king will choose the strongest warrior, and the hunter who is most favored by the king will receive more than a little reward!"
As he spoke, the hunter showed a greedy smile and gestured in his hand, "That's the gold that has never been spent in life. No one will not be moved, right?"
"Thank you, sir, for solving your questions."
Hearing this, Lake nodded, turned his head and walked towards the palace.
The road leading to the palace was already full of hunters or mercenaries. Lake thought for a while, picked up Poluo and prepared to squeeze in.
"Wait a minute, little girl, what have you done in the past? This place is not suitable for a lady like you..."
The hunter was stunned when he saw the direction of Lake's advance, but soon he noticed that the long sword around Lake's waist showed a look of pride, "You also want to see the majesty of our kingdom warriors, right?"
"No, I went to the Kingdom of Hangte, but I just need to discuss with the king of your country."
Lake explained, pushing away the crowd and heading in.
Many hunters were pushed away by Lake, and they seemed a little dissatisfied, but when they looked back, they saw that it was a fair girl, they all looked surprised and moved away from their positions.
When we got ahead, the sound became noisy, and it was filled with some cheers and boos.
Lake and Poluo saw the scene clearly. The armored soldiers guarded several large iron cages, each with a different beast in it.
There are tigers, lions, wild boars, bears and so on.
In one of the cages, a hunter was holding a hunting knife and growling, fighting a scarred lion.
"What are you doing? In front of the palace, is there a Colosseum?"
Lake frowned. She noticed that there were blood stains in many cages. On the other side, there was even a hunter covered in blood lying on a wooden stand.
"There are a few wild beasts every day. Anyone who goes in alone to kill one will be specially summoned by His Majesty the King and receives rewards and rewards."
At the beginning, the hunter who talked to Lake also squeezed in. His figure looked quite strong among the hunters, so when he squeezed over, the other hunters dared not speak out.
"And, only hunters who can defeat those beasts alone can be qualified to enter the magic forest."
"That's it."
Lake nodded, and the curiosity in his heart became much smaller.
These hunters who fight wild beasts don't seem to have very strong skills, at least for Lake and Polo, there is even no place to learn.
"That hunter looks like he's going to lose."
Lake made a judgment just by just glance at the hunter in the beast cage.
Sure enough, the next moment, the knife in the hunter's hand was slapped off by the lion and wanted to retreat, but the lion bit his wrist and tore off a large piece of flesh!
"Ah——"
The hunter screamed and was dragged out of the beast cage. The other hunters present were silent for several seconds and booed neatly.
"The little girl has good eyesight."
The hunter next to Lake was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, but then shook his head regretfully, "However, the lion is injured, it's time to change it - it's a pity that the lion is one of the best beasts to fight."
Sure enough, after this, a Hangte Guard walked forward, took out a blowing arrow, and shot it on the lion.
After the lion was anesthetized, it was dragged away, and a new lion was pulled up in the carriage behind it. "If this continues, will the replacement beasts be enough?"
"This must be enough. Our king himself was once a powerful hunter and he caught many wild animals."
"But so many hunters..."
"But those who want to get into the cage must have some money first - after all, a powerful hunter can always afford to pay."
"That's it."
Lake nodded and lost interest in the fight. He looked away, hugged Poluo and walked towards the direction of the palace.
"Little girl, where are you going?"
"Governor, I really have something to do, and I'm not here to participate in the hunter competition."
When he arrived near the front of the palace, several Hangte soldiers raised their spears and blocked Lek:
"Little girl, you have some faces, and you can't enter the palace by idle people."
An officer who was in charge of the Hunter's Athletics walked forward, frowned and said, "If you are a Hunter, you must pass the test first."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"On behalf of Xingluocheng, I will discuss the alliance. Please report it to Your Majesty on your behalf."
Lake saluted, took out an envelope with the mark of Luoxing City from his arms and handed it to the officer.
"Luxing City?"
Unexpectedly, the officer frowned when he heard this, and did not accept the envelope in Lake's hand, but shook his head directly, "Then you can't go in. Now is the time for the 'hunting ceremony', and Your Majesty has no time to meet you."
"What?"
Lake had never expected such a thing. The messenger arrived at the door of the palace but was stopped by the guards?
No matter which kingdom guard, it shouldn't have done such a thing, right?
However, the officer's expression after hearing the words "Xingluocheng", it shows that he seems to know something.
"This is something that concerns the safety of the country..."
"I know, Xingluo City, right? Want to form an alliance with us?"
But the officer said directly, "You have already had an envoy here before."
"Have you been?"
Lake was even more surprised. She thought that the messenger sent by the Leprosy King was caught by the Kingdom of Sri and did not convey the message. Now it seems that the fact may not be the case. "Then why don't you..."
"We are the kingdom of Aviation, look at those good guys, ladies - how could we be threatened?"
The officer waved his hand, "And we will not form an alliance with the weak."
"This is really important, please let me see your Majesty..."
"I said, Your Majesty is very busy and has no time!"
As the officer said, he looked at Lake contemptuously and shook his head, "You go, wherever you come from, little girl, I won't make things difficult for you-"
"But your king even has time to meet those hunters!"
"If you can defeat the beast, you can do the same, little girl, can you? Your waist looks thinner than the bear's arms!"
The officer laughed sarcastically, "Our Majesty only admires soldiers, not girls like you!"
After hearing this, Lake took a deep breath, glanced at the officer deeply, then stopped talking, and turned around and left.
I vaguely heard the officer behind me talking and laughing with the others beside me.
"Xingluo City? All small places have been beaten to the capital!"
"Yes, such a weak place cannot win wars. If a miracle is destroyed, you still want to form an alliance? The weak are not worthy of forming an alliance with us!"
"Yes, the last time I sent a man, this time? Send a little girl?"
Lake returned to the cage surrounded by the hunters again. At this time, there seemed to be a... bear fighting in the cage containing a tiger?
"Huh? Little girl, why are you back?"
Seeing Lake come back, the hunter who had just watched the fun asked in confusion.
"Your king will not see me."
Lake replied concisely, "I have to find another way."
"Oh, that's a pity. Maybe in a while, Your Majesty will have time."
The hunter stared at the duel in the cage and said casually, "But you are lucky. You can't see such a grand event as hunter competition before. You can enjoy the joy of watching it for a few days..."
"Who is the one fighting with the tiger?"
Rake asked without replying, pointing at the beast cage that was fighting.
After a little observation, Lake and Poluo discovered that it was not a bear who fought with the tiger in the cage, but a man wearing a complete bear skin?
The man had only a head, showing the human characteristics of half a face, and the human face was even covered by a large piece of dirty beard.
His fighting weapons, even a few sharp claws connected to his hands!
However, he moved left and right. Although he was tall, he seemed extremely flexible. The tiger's multiple attacks did not fall on him.
"I don't know, a weird guy who didn't know where he came from. Several hunters thought that guy was a bear at first."
The hunter next to him said, then took out a gold coin from his arms and shook it in front of Lake's face, "But that guy is so generous. Did you see this gold coin? He threw it casually as if he wasn't his gold coin - I also picked up one, and it's a big deal now!"
But Poluo in Lake's arms did not care about the gold coins in the hunter's hand at this time. He frowned and looked at the bearskin hunter.
For some reason, he felt a strange aura from the bearskin man.
And in such a situation, such a breath - it will never be an illusion!
"The magic of the devil from hell."
Poluo said to Lake through spiritual communication, "That bear skin man may not be a devil, but he must be inseparable from the devil!"
"That guy looks amazing and should win."
Lake frowned and pressed his hand on the hilt of the Star Killing Sword, but did not act rashly.
The bear skin man was indeed powerful. At this time, his burly body strode forward, lifted his knee and hit the tiger's waist, which could not dodge. Taking advantage of the pain of the tiger's attack, he waved his claws one after another and stabbed into the tiger's throat!
In an instant, blood gushed like a fountain, and under suppression, the tiger gradually stopped moving.
The bearskin man stood up straight and didn't care about the blood spilled on his body - his bearskin looked so dirty that he couldn't see the original color, and his hair was stuck together.
He threw down the tiger's body and slowly walked out of the beast cage.
Outside the beast cage, all the hunters shouted excitedly, but the bearskin man didn't say anything. He just put his hand into the pocket on the waist of the bearskin, and when he stretched out, there was a golden light in it-
A whole handful of money!
"Friends, pray to God for me."
After he finished speaking in a rough and dull voice, he threw coins into the crowd, everyone screamed excitedly, bowing their heads to fight for the money on the ground.
"Thank you, the hero!"
"God will bless you!"
The bearskin man did not respond, and continued to turn around without saying a word, and walked into the palace with the officer. (This chapter ends)
