Chapter 587 That contestant is not simple

The case of the Rey family came to a temporary end with the fake Bili Rey being sentenced to exile. However, not all the parties involved in the murder of the real Bili have been arrested, so the case needs to be dealt with later.

It was not made public that Venice City was the mastermind behind this case, but people at a high enough level knew it clearly.

Ordinary people don't care about what's going on behind the scenes and just struggle to protect their own wallets every day.

There was a group of people in the city. Among them was a bald man who had some friendship with Grand Duke Wessen, who had traveled all the way from the Rhine Alliance to the Kingdom of Sardinia. With some advice, he bet on both players to win the real sword competition.

On the birthday of the Grand Duke of Milan, Stone won the semi-finals, and the cheers of the crowd could be heard across the arena.

The two contestants in the second semi-final are Gresco, the favorite to win the championship, and Tin Can, who is favored by Grand Duke Wesson but whose identity is still unknown.

Baldy and his friends bought tin cans just like Frederick, so the cheers were equally loud when he came on stage.

They placed their bets early, the odds were high, and they won back their capital early, so now every win would be a profit.

If the Stone and the Tin Can met in the final, they would win more.

Although the stakes were small, the incident itself was a great topic of conversation. Twenty or thirty years later, one could still brag about it, saying that he and Grand Duke Wesson had made a big business worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

At this time, Gresco finally knew who the other contestant who the principal was talking about was who had the potential to win the championship.

He said to Tin Can, "Before the competition started, the principal told me that there were two contestants who were better than me."

"Mr. Stone, who won the last game, is very strong, but I don't think I'm weaker than him."

“Now I stand opposite your Excellency, and it seems as if I am facing an entire white mountain range.”

"I was fortunate enough to receive personal instruction from Master Richardnal, and you gave me the same feeling as when I was facing him."

"I admit that I am not as strong as you, but I will still try my best."

His words were carried throughout the arena by the magic of the loudspeaker on the ring, and the entire audience was suddenly in an uproar.

Richardinal had traveled in the Kingdom of Sardinia for many years and was already quite famous. Many people had heard his story. After he went to help Frederick, his fame became even greater.

No one could have imagined that Gresco had received guidance from Richardnal, and everyone was surprised to hear him say that he had not yet used his full strength.

What’s even more surprising is that he believes he is no match for the tin can man.

Today, Frederick's box was no longer as lively as before. The Duke of Milan came to watch the game, and the dignitaries in the city were also in their respective boxes. No girl would look for Frederick to play at this time.

The only guest in the box was Gunnar, who had been collecting, organizing and coordinating cooperation plans for the clothing industry among businessmen. He was so busy that he only decided on the final plan yesterday.

In addition, there was Tony, the captain of Frederick's guard company, and several soldiers who escorted the camera.

After Tony and his team arrived, they were responsible for the security outside the house, while the interior was still under the responsibility of the Freedom Society. At the same time, when Frederick went out, Tony and several soldiers would escort him.

The money he won would be returned today. Frederick was in a good mood and focused on watching the game. Garlic pinched her gluteus maximus when he brought her the iced happy water.

Gunnar pretended not to notice Frederick's actions, looked at the ring and asked, "Did Baron Gresco really receive instruction from Master Richardnar?"

Frederick replied, "Yes, in the martial arts class, all talented and capable students can receive guidance from the master."

Gunnar sighed, "I heard that he taught many students. This is a broad mind that many martial arts masters don't have."

Martial arts is also a skill that can make a living. In the previous master-apprentice system, apprentices were equivalent to half slaves. This was protected by guild rules and regulations and social traditions. If you wanted to learn martial arts, you also had to serve your master as a father.

Masters at the Sword Saint level are no exception, but they are greedy. Firstly, they need the students' families to provide resources, secondly, they can help to solve some problems, and thirdly, they can share what they have with their fellow disciples, and soon they will form an interest group.

Therefore, they select their disciples very carefully. Ordinary people don’t have to think about it unless they are gifted.

Richardnal became an exception after arriving in Weissenburg. He initially recruited students from the University of Weissenburg, taught a group of students, and then sent them to teach beginners. This move was unimaginable to outsiders.

Frederick just smiled. Richardnar just changed from fishing with a fishing rod to fishing with a fishing net, hoping to catch more talented people to inherit his mantle.

In addition, magic education has been declining. Instead of working hard to make money, magicians with low levels might as well come to the Principality of Wessen to be magic teachers. The job is stable, and the income and reputation are not low.

This policy has been in place for nearly ten years. In another ten years, it will see its first boom, and then it will continue to boom.

The Principality of Mainz and the Principality of Bavaria also wanted to learn, but when they calculated the expenses, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Gunnar kept sighing, and the fight had already begun.

Gresco took the initiative to attack, and his speed was two levels higher than in previous games.

But Tin Can responded calmly, and his feet never left the one-meter square stone bricks beneath him.

Frederick asked Tony, "Tony, what do you think of this game?"

Tony said in a deep voice: "I am very familiar with this situation. It is exactly the same as when I was learning from Master Richardnal and his friends."

"Baron Gresco has some loopholes in his martial arts, and the master's attack on the loopholes was just a brief one, more like teaching."

Gunnar asked in confusion: "Loophole? I don't see any loopholes?"

He followed the path of a magic swordsman and believed that he had studied martial arts deeply, but he could not see any loopholes in Gresco's attack, and each of his strikes was flawless.

Tony was too embarrassed to say that you were too inexperienced to notice it, so he thought of a less offensive statement: "Those loopholes only exist for a very short time and are hidden. It's hard to see them from our direction, but it's easier to find them in person."

"More importantly, there were several times when the master had already identified the location of the loophole before Baron Gresco had even completed his moves."

"I can be sure that the master's level is on the same level as Master Richardnal and his group."

Gunnar was about to ask how you could tell, but when he heard the following words, he exclaimed, "You said he is a sword master?"

Tony replied: "That's how he makes me feel."

Frederick just smiled.

Gunnar immediately remembered Frederick's bet and turned to ask, "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Frederick continued to smile.

The semi-final ended with Gresco surrendering after ten minutes. He tried his best, but his opponent found loopholes in every attack and gave him a severe lesson.

In addition to Tony, many experts have seen that the tin can is very powerful.

Next up is the semi-finals of the Magician Competition, and the finalists of the Real Sword Competition will compete after a break.

Gunnar took the opportunity to talk to Frederick about the clothing industry.

The merchants in Milan decided to adopt Frederick's plan of investing 30% of the value of the machines.

This was the plan that Frederick was most happy to see. Apart from anything else, he could buy the machines from the factory at the ex-factory price, and then buy shares at the market price, making a huge profit from the difference.

Then there is the issue of railways. Once the railway is completed, the machines can be shipped over.

Frederick did not show much enthusiasm, but just nodded and said that he would go through the procedures and finalize the matter in two days.
