From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

Another company came to you. Generally, competitive knights who announced their debut as independent knights will face this kind of trouble. Once they make a little name for themselves, these companies will want to put their logos all over your shield.

"No, there's no need to discuss this. I don't accept any sponsorship."

Zofia did not have a good face and spoke to the company's agent in a stern tone.

"Ms. Zofia, don't you want to hear the terms the company offers you? As a popular contestant, you do earn a lot, but according to the company's investigation, your expenses are also very high. How long can you squander the prize money alone?"

The company agent took out a contract and showed the terms to Sofia.

"Alan Select Technology is willing to offer Miss Zofia a generous signing bonus, a stable salary, a high commission, and advanced equipment. Otherwise, Miss Zofia's outdated equipment during the points competition might cause an accident."

“…Are you threatening me?”

Zofia's eyes widened, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.

"I dare not. I'm just a small clerk. I just want to remind Miss Zofia that there are many contestants in the points competition who can't even put together armor. But in the main competition, the star knights sponsored by various companies use the most advanced and powerful weapons and armor. Miss Zofia needs to consider the pros and cons carefully."

Martin walked out from behind the counter, his face full of fierceness, and pointed at the wooden door of the pub: "Get out, the company is not welcome here!"

"Oh, please don't get excited..."

The company agent raised his hands to show that he was harmless, and walked towards the door under the angry shouts of Martin and others. But when he opened the door and left, he turned his head and said

"Please give it some consideration, Miss Zofia..."

"roll!!!"

Koval's voice was so loud that it seemed to shake the dust off the rafters.

"How dare the people from these companies be so arrogant? Will the Supervisory Commission do nothing?"

"If the Supervisory Council had taken action against the Commercial Union, Casimir wouldn't be in this state now."

Martin returned to the counter and refilled everyone's drinks, his tone full of disappointment.

"Hmm? Where are you going, Zofia?"

"Go home and prepare. I'm going to smack their faces in the final tomorrow."

Sofia picked up her sword and hung it around her waist, then walked out of the tavern in a swift and decisive manner.

Chapter 50: First Special Tournament

"Welcome to the 23rd Casimir Knights Tournament. I'm the resident commentator for this Whistling Arena—Mob!"

On the dome of the semi-open arena, the flower balls that had been prepared long ago exploded, and colorful paper floated in the air. The warm atmosphere in the audience seats set off waves of sound.

"Let's get started with the first game of the day,"

The host Mob made exaggerated movements, and the huge screen above the arena flashed. Accompanied by intense music, photos of the two knights appeared on the screen.

"Whiplash Knight vs. Stone Knight!"

Accompanied by fireworks at the entrance of the contestants on both sides of the arena, Zofia walked into the arena. Opposite the ring was the Stone Knight, holding a long shield and with a rounded armor that looked like stone.

"First to enter the battlefield is the Stone Knight! This knight, skilled in defensive counterattacks, wears armor adorned with powerful plates from Brilliant Shield Industries. The Stone Knight is indestructible!!!"

The camera drone on the field zoomed in, presenting the real-time status of Zofia and Stone Knight on the big screen.

"Next up is our much-anticipated independent knight: Whipblade Zofia! As the perennial champion of the points race, can she continue her winning ways in the main event? Let's wait and see! Hmm?"

Mob seemed to have discovered something, and the camera drone's lens zoomed in rapidly.

"Whipblade Zofia's equipment looks a little strange, with some obvious rust. It seems to have been poorly maintained. Speaking of maintenance, Allen has selected high-tech equipment care oil to help your armor and weapons always shine and stay away from rust!"

The weapon in Zofia's hand and the armor on her body had a layer of vague red lines, which did look like rust, but seemed a little different.

"This host makes his living by his eloquence."

Sitting in the VIP box of the arena with Si Ye, Nian ate popcorn in big mouthfuls.

"I was forced to seal the weapons and equipment. Look, they're all considered rust."

"Zofia has wasted so much time and still hasn't fully mastered that sword. What if she doesn't seal it and gets sliced ​​into pieces in the arena?"

Si Ye pinched Nian angrily. Even though knights had certain immunity privileges during the Knights' Tournament, accidentally killing an opponent would definitely result in the disqualification. Si Ye was also planning to use Zofia's participation in the tournament to lure people in, so he couldn't let it go too far.

"Both players have completed their preparations, so—"

Snapped!

The referee's seat fired the opening cannon, and the Stone Knight immediately rushed towards Zofia at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with his body size. With such a charging speed, the shield that was like a door panel became the most powerful weapon.

boom! ! !

Zofia swung the whip blade to release the locking mechanism, and the sword body quickly extended and stretched into a black shadow, violently hitting the front of the Stone Knight. The shield and the whip blade collided, making a huge bang.

"The Stone Knight launched a charge. The Whip Knight tried to stop him, but to little avail! The Stone Knight remains unstoppable!!!"

Zofia's whip blade left marks on the surface of the Stone Knight's armor, which was maintained extremely smoothly, but it failed to cause any effective attack.

Realizing she couldn't stop the opponent's charge, Zofia retracted her whip and nimbly jumped to the side, trying to find a new angle of attack.

But the Stone Knight was like a nimble bird, and inertia seemed to have lost its effect on him. After completing a sharp 90-degree turn on the spot, he swung his shield hard towards Zofia who had just dodged.

boom!

In a hurry, Sofia could only raise the weapon in her hand to block. After a loud bang, she flew backwards uncontrollably.

"Oh! The Stone Knight's charge was very successful. The Whip Knight's attack couldn't break through his defense, and he knocked the Whip Knight away with just one shield strike!!!"

The Stone Knight's supporters in the arena cheered enthusiastically, and Mob the Big Mouth timely focused the camera again on Zofia who was knocked away.

After rolling twice on the ground, Zofia finally relieved herself of the huge impact force. Fortunately, the defensive power of the armor made in the year was not reduced by the seal. Apart from being a little embarrassed, Zofia was unharmed.

"Zofia has stood up! It seems that our Whip Knight can't be defeated so easily. So what will the Stone Knight do?!"

Under the almost completely enclosed helmet, the Stone Knight was also breathing rapidly.

He had studied the battle videos of Whipblade Zofia. She was good at medium and long-range combat using the whip blade as a weapon, but her physical fitness was not strong, so he used his best all-out charge at the beginning, hoping to secure victory with one blow, but it seemed that his information was wrong.

It would take some time to gather up the strength to charge and use Originium skills again. The Stone Knight changed his mind, pulled out a dagger from behind his shield, and rushed towards Zofia.

"The Stone Knight has launched an attack. It seems he intends to expand his advantage in close combat, which the Whip Knight is not good at. So how will the Whip Knight respond?"

When the swords clashed, Zofia not only had to block the dagger swung by the Stone Knight, but also had to pay attention to the heavy shield that covered half of the Stone Knight's body, and she fell into a disadvantage for a while.

"If this knight competition wasn't shady, I'd be eating this popcorn bucket. Zofia just entered the main competition and the opponent she met was the one with the worst compatibility. Tsk tsk, the Commercial Federation."

Si Ye curled his lips and complained about the Chamber of Commerce's childish and unpresentable tactics.

"Then Zofia can't lose either. This iron lump on the opposite side is just hard, but the armor doesn't provide much cushioning. As long as Zofia seizes the opportunity and strikes continuously, the Stone Knight will be unable to withstand it."

Nian saw through the flaws in the Stone Knight's heavy defense at a glance.

boom!

Another collision, Zofia seemed to see that the Stone Knight was trying to recover his strength through this close combat, and with another collision, Zofia retreated quickly.

The Stone Knight wanted to keep up, but Zofia had already unleashed her whip blade again. The whip blade swung at high speed formed an endless black shadow, which continuously hit the Stone Knight's shield.

There was no chance for the Stone Knight to charge again and accumulate speed. The continuous attacks forced the Stone Knight to stop and defend. While maintaining the suppression, Zofia retreated to the distance where she was best at fighting.

"The situation has reversed. Whipblade Zofia seized the Stone Knight's weakness and distanced herself from him. Under the Whipblade's relentless attacks, the Stone Knight could only defend!!"

Mob mobilized the atmosphere on the field, and as the situation turned around, Zofia's supporters in the audience could finally cheer loudly.

"Now it's a battle of strength and will. Will the whip blade shatter the stone's defense first, or will the stone exhaust the whip blade's strength first?! Let's wait and see!"

The Stone Knight's face changed drastically. The characteristics of the whip blade meant that Zofia's attack was not limited to the front. Through skillful force techniques, Zofia's whip blade could turn in the air, pass over the shield from the side and directly attack the Stone Knight's body.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

With a roar, the Stone Knight took a step forward despite Zofia's attacks. Zofia's continuous attacks had made him dizzy. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, he decided to fight to the death.

But the Stone Knight's charge speed was greatly reduced by Zofia's attack. Zofia continued to swing her weapon calmly, and the whip blade accurately and powerfully bypassed the shield and hit the Stone Knight's helmet.

"Ohhhh, the Stone Knight has launched another charge. Can he succeed again?!"

boom! !

The whip blade fell again on the Stone Knight's already deformed helmet. Zofia deftly retracted the whip blade and dodged to the side again.

This time, the Stone Knight did not have the chance to activate the Originium skill to turn around. His head was hit again, and his brain was finally overwhelmed by the continuous shock. He only felt a black screen in front of his eyes and completely lost consciousness.

The Stone Knight lost consciousness and rushed uncontrollably to the edge of the venue. After breaking the neon-lit railings outside, he fell to the ground unconscious.

The medical staff on standby nearby rushed forward to check the situation. A moment later, Mob, who received the news, suddenly opened his arms.

"The winner is! Whipblade Zofia!!!! Let's cheer for her!! All the viewers who supported Zofia in this game have the chance to participate in the lucky draw. The winning rate is as high as 0.2%. Who will be the lucky winner!!!"

Colorful confetti fell from the sky again. Amid the cheers from the audience, which grew louder and louder, Sofia wiped the sweat-soaked hair from her forehead and waved her fists happily.

"Then take a short break, the next game will be even more exciting!!!"

Chapter 51 Negotiations break down, prepare to attack

"Looks like it's over. We can still watch the next game."

Nian looked at the empty popcorn in his hand and looked at Si Ye standing beside him.

"Look, I'm here for a trip. Conquering the world is just a side hustle. I can't put the cart before the horse."

Si Ye leaned on Nian's shoulder without any hesitation, his head drooping restlessly.

bang bang bang~

There was a sudden knock on the door of the VIP box.

Nian put his hand on Si Ye's head, making him sit up straighter. "It seems that if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you."

"Maybe Zofia?"

Si Ye smacked his lips with some regret and opened the door of the box. Standing at the door was a man named Kuranta who looked very imposing. He was wearing a decent and luxurious coat, and a buckle of the Chamber of Commerce was hung on the decorative shawl on his right shoulder.

"I'm Charne, the spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce. I heard you were here watching the knight competition, so I came to visit you. I apologize for interrupting you."

"Just visiting?"

Si Ye looked at the spokesperson who had risen from a winery worker in the original story to a high position, but fell into hell because of Margaret, and said with a hint of amusement
