The Whispering Verses Chapter 1565: Delegation and new victims

Wednesday’s competition is the most important and most entertaining “Equestrian Duel”. 36 people were divided into 18 groups for a duel, and the winner advanced to the next round until the final winner was determined.

Of course, because one of the contestants had already passed away early, the lucky ones got a bye in the first round. Everyone who heard the news of death during the lottery hoped that they would have a bye. Even Shade felt that it would be best if he could save some energy, but it was a pity that he did not have that kind of luck this time.

Because it is a duel in armor, all contestants arrive in advance to prepare their armor and horses. Since Dorothy was away, Tifa led the maids to put on Shad's armor, and then watched him ride into the arena.

Shad's first opponent was his "teammate" in the first two rounds, Mr. Duane Wiswo. This gentleman was riding a purebred Myrtilis steppe black horse. In addition to his own armor, he also prepared a metal goggles and a pretty-looking riding jacket for his horse.

The two gentlemen stepped on the pedals, held the sword in one hand and controlled the reins in the other. They made simple contact and tested it for a few times, and then had their first confrontation. Then, while holding his wooden sword tightly with numb hands, Mr. Duane Wiswer came to a terrible conclusion:

"My speed and strength are far inferior to his."

So Xade won the first game without any surprise.

The competition among 35 players will last for a total of 5 rounds, which means that the competition will start at 9 a.m. and last until sunset. It has just reached the end of the third round, and the four players who advanced to the semi-finals, Including Mr. Shade and Eric Foran, his younger brother was unfortunately defeated by him.

Throughout the whole day of the game, the shouts from the arena auditorium never stopped. The horrific incidents that occurred around the arena last night did nothing to dampen the lively atmosphere. Whenever a player appears on the stage, the audience will shout their name loudly.

For outsiders, when the name "Shad Hamilton" is shouted out, his feeling is quite subtle. Although he never likes to be the focus of too many people's attention, he is not averse to chasing honors and awards in this festive atmosphere.

The remaining competitions will be held on Thursday, which will also be the last day of the 1854 Tobesk City Tour. Therefore, when the sun went down, all the "knights" gathered in the arena with their horses, and after expressing their gratitude to Queen Diana who had been present for three consecutive days, they left from different exits of the arena.

"Shad!"

The blond writer lady, who came only in the afternoon, excitedly waved her handkerchief to welcome Shade's return. Tifa hugged Mia, stood beside her with a smile and nodded to Shade.

Shad wore this armor for almost a whole day. Although it was nothing based on his physical strength, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he took it off.

Just when Dorothy and the maids were helping Shade change his clothes, just as Dorothy said yesterday, the handkerchiefs, letters expressing love and even garters sent by the servants were already piled up. took the table closest to the tent exit.

"You are probably the most popular player this year."

While adjusting Shade’s collar in front of the mirror, the blonde girl smiled and said:

"Handsome, young, with a strong waist and arms. Although his property is not much, he has a house in Saint Teresa Square. Apart from the scandal with Carina Cavendish, there is almost no negative news about you. , and you are still unmarried. Shade, you have no idea how popular you are in the city."

"I think I'm not as popular as Lesia. Tomorrow is the last day of the competition. I think Lesia should be ready for the dinner party, right?"

Shad asked, Dorothy in the mirror winked at Shad:

"Of course I'm ready, but you can only get rewards if you win the championship. This is what we agreed on from the beginning."

There was a small interlude before returning to Carina Manor that evening. The local Marquis Ensis of Tobesk, who was defeated by Shad in the afternoon, came here after being introduced by Shad’s friend Baron Rwanda. Entrust Shade to help find the lost items.

The Marquis's servants remained in the tent during the games. But when the Marquis returned to the camp in the evening, he found that his favorite gold-plated tobacco box on the cabinet next to the mirror was missing.

For the Marquis of Ensis, the tobacco box itself was not very valuable, but he just liked the things he had used for a long time, and he suspected that someone among the servants had stolen his things. This is inexcusable.

Since the incident happened not long ago, the Marquis came to Shade for help with a try mentality, and Shade readily agreed.

It is actually not difficult to find the thief who stole things. When Shade entered the Marquis' camp with Dorothy who wanted to collect materials, he closed his eyes and heard the most abnormal one among dozens of heartbeats.

The extremely fast heartbeat belonged to a seemingly ordinary manservant. When he asked everyone about their whereabouts in the afternoon, Shade carefully asked him a few more questions. On the contrary, the manservant himself was frightened by the "famous detective" Hamilton" reputation, he couldn't resist his intimidating eyes and cross-examination, and he was the first to cry and confess:

"I stole it. My wife took away all my money. My daughter is now seriously ill and has no money for treatment. I need this money."

Shad looked at Dorothy and shook his head helplessly, while Miss Writer was still recording the situation at the scene quickly.

Shad thought that this simple commission would end like this. The police who patrolled the camp more frequently because of the "assassination" of Earl Lewis would soon arrive. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Ensis actually showed up. Said to the weeping servant:

"I sympathize with your situation, but you shouldn't steal my things for this. No matter what the reason is, you can't take the initiative to do bad things."

The emotional manservant was obviously irritated by this sentence, and he said something that was beyond the expectations of everyone present:

"Last night, didn't you also say that in order for you to achieve military success, it would be best for the negotiations between Delarion and Kasonrik to break down and allow the war to break out? Don't you also expect it for your own sake? Something worse?"

The Marquis's face changed from red to white, and from white to black. Shade and Dorothy, who looked up in surprise, were politely invited out of the camp and received a "hush fee" that was ten times more than the originally agreed upon commission fee.

While walking towards Shade’s tent under the setting sun, the blonde girl said to Shade beside her:

"Although there are many people who have heard Lesia say that they hope that the negotiations will break down and a full-scale war will resume in the Old Continent, this is the first time we have seen it."

"What else did Lesia say?"

"Peace has lasted too long, and there have been too many conflicts. This negotiation is definitely not just about border lines and trade routes. If you are not careful, war may really come again."

Xia De held her hand and said after a long time:

"Civilization has reached an important event node?"

"You can say this. Not everyone is looking forward to peace. After all, peace has been too long."

On the two nights before the competition, someone accompanied Shade to spend the night at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square every night. However, after the third day, the girls were unable to stay overnight due to their own affairs. Miss Carina seemed to be Not wanting to be laughed at by Lesia, she did not come to see Shade again, so Shade and Mia spent a peaceful night as usual.

On Thursday morning, Shade deliberately got up very early. He first went to Fort Midhill to find out about the [Faceless Man] from Grace and Helen, and then returned home with his glass slipper to prepare breakfast.

When Shade was at the dinner table looking at the boasts about "Shade Hamilton" in the newspapers, and even he felt a little embarrassed, Dorothy came in a hurry and told him a big news:

"Lecia received the news from Yoder Palace. Last night, another victim appeared in the Edward III Arena. This time it was not a contestant, but three drunkards who drank in the market at night. The manner of death was Enhor Seric was exactly the same yesterday. The church is discussing with Lesia's father whether to terminate the competition."

"That humanoid relic is still around the arena?"

Xia De was also very surprised:

"I didn't feel any elemental reaction all day yesterday. Will today's game be terminated?"

"Most likely not."

Dorothy shook her head:

"There needs to be a proper reason to terminate the competition. This kind of competition, which is watched by the entire Old Continent, will definitely cause unnecessary trouble if it is stopped suddenly on the last day. Moreover, the victims so far are all killed at night. , so Lecia thinks that today's game will continue, but the church will send more people around the arena. She asked me to remind you not to use all your strength during the game, just give the opponent a little advantage. ”

"I understand that you cannot show too much power beyond normal. In this case, Dorothy, do you still want to go with me today?"

If it was really that dangerous near the arena, Shade actually didn't want Dorothy to follow him.

"Of course we go together. If you don't want to go out if you feel a little bit dangerous, then I might as well stay at home every day."

What she said made sense, so when Shade went out, he took the lazy cat out with him. Although the cat was very reluctant when he went out on Monday, since he knew that there would be delicious food in that tent, his resistance to Shade's forced taking him out became much weaker.

Take a carriage out of the city with Dorothy, and then meet up with the maids directly in the tent outside the arena. Of course, Tifa already knew about the appearance of three more victims last night. Among the maids who came with her today, two of them were actually high-level warlocks. Even though Miss Carina could only come over in the afternoon, she still did not forget to ensure Shade's safety.
