People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Chapter 370: Chongyue: This question is a bit beyond the scope

Casimir, Grand Knight of Kavaleriaki.

"Good morning, Grand Knight Leader! Today is another brand new day! In the final Knight Competition Qualifiers held at the Howling Arena last night, Whip Blade Knight Zofia defeated her opponent and got the last ticket to the Special Championship! Oh, ladies and gentlemen, let me correct you, it should now be called the Casimir International Competition!"

The noisy sound had not stopped since early morning, and it made Zhongyue's ears hurt a little.

He was somewhat surprised. In Yumen, except for the soldiers guarding the border, most businesses would not be open at this time. And he got up so early because he didn't really need sleep and had the habit of getting up early for morning exercises.

But after traveling thousands of miles to Casimir, he found that the people in this country and this city were so terribly self-disciplined.

The big screen in the CBD lights up at 6 a.m., and the host's loud voice greets all the residents of Kavaleraki with a good morning. News about knight competitions is played around the clock, working harder than the sand valves in Yumen. The streets are already crowded in the morning, and office workers carrying briefcases yawn as they rush on their way, and they can also put on makeup by the way. There are no people doing morning exercises in the city park, but drunks sleeping with their bare butts can be seen one after another in the bushes.

What kind of country is this?

At least, in Yumen, such a situation will never happen.

Zhongyue thought jokingly, if such a self-disciplined country were to attack Dayan, would Dayan be able to resist?

Of course, it was just a joke. Zhongyue had been to Baizao, the capital of Da Yan. That city was not as ostentatious and prosperous as Cavalleriachi, but the combination of ancient charm and modernity was a completely different flavor.

That was equally haunting.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, the scenery is poetic, and these are what Chongyue has been protecting all his life. However, the people in these paintings and poems do not really believe him.

Chongyue still remembered the day in Yumen City when he was invited to the City Lord's Mansion by City Lord Zuo Xuanliao.

There were two things in Zuo Xuanliao's hands: a letter in his left hand and an imperial edict in his right hand.

The letter in the left hand came from the current Taifu. Chongyue still remembered that young man... Oh, maybe he is a white-haired old man now.

The order on the right hand came from the person who sat facing south in the court. Chongyue did not have a deep impression of him, only knowing that he was also a pitiful person.

poor person must have something mean.

At that time, Zuo Xuanliao had a gloomy expression, as if he had a thousand words to say, but couldn't say them out loud. Zhongyue knew very well that he was always like this, just like after he sealed his true form [Shuo], he had also mentioned to him vaguely that he wanted to take care of the sealed sword.

He always didn't like to explain things clearly, so Zhongyue simply pretended not to understand.

This is good for everyone. Otherwise, a provincial governor who holds the power of the year may not cause any major incidents in the short term, but in the long run, it is difficult for the court not to be wary of him.

He knew his friend's temperament very well. He certainly had no ill will towards Dayan. If he was suspected and feared by the real dragon because of [Shuo], that was something Chongyue did not want to see.

Therefore, this sword can be given to anyone for safekeeping, except him, Zuo Xuanliao.

And it's the same this time.

Zuo Xuanliao said to him: "This is an opportunity that the Grand Tutor has fought for you, the Grandmaster, and for your brothers and sisters!"

"You and them have done so much for Da Yan. Da Yan is grateful to you, but also wary of you, especially your brother Wang. Ever since he escaped from the capital, the debate about the Sui Beast issue in the Da Yan court has intensified."

"This time, the Grand Tutor went against all odds and gave you the opportunity to leave. He wanted to prove to the court that you can do it!"

Yes? What?

Chongyue knew it clearly. He could not stay in Dayan, could not care about Dayan's affairs, and could avoid Dayan's people.

Yan does not need the Sui Beast’s agents to do anything for Yan, nor does Yan need the Sui Beast’s agents to support Yan or oppose Yan.

Yan only needs the beast to act as a proxy for people to do nothing. It is best to stay far away and never approach this land.

But Zhongyue just pretended not to understand.

Sometimes, he really wanted to sneer.

Some of his brothers and sisters defended the country and guarded the borders, some taught and educated people, and some guarded a piece of land for a thousand years, never leaving its side and always worrying about it.

Even those who are slightly worse off live in seclusion, cooking and playing chess. Has he ever really done anything to let Dayan down?

But once they were suspected, they were suspected for thousands of years. When the court had problems, they would raise the issue of the beast. When there was a disaster in the local area, they would raise the issue of the beast. Even if the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the officials had nothing to do, they would still raise the issue of the beast to kill the overabundant energy of the octogenarians.

Where do all these beast problems come from? It's just your internal fighting!

But he couldn't say these words. In fact, he usually wouldn't even think about them.

You can call this great wisdom appearing foolish, or something else.

Because he is the most human-like, yet the least human-like character in all the movies.

He is like a human because he can disguise himself as a human. But he is the least like a human because human disguises can have flaws, but as a giant beast, his understanding of disguising himself as a human is beyond compare and is seamless.

As a result, there are so many people on Terra who are born as human beings but are not considered as individuals. On the contrary, he, who is not an individual, can be said to be the most anthropomorphic!

However, seeing through something but not saying it out loud is one thing, but he was genuinely surprised that the Grand Tutor was able to go against everyone's opinion and give himself and his brothers and sisters the opportunity to leave Yantu.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Wearing leather pants over cotton pants, there must be a reason!

Letting himself participate in the competition must be just a cover, an excuse. As for his real purpose...

Chongyue thought of the handwritten letter from the Grand Tutor that Zuo Xuanliao had shown him.

That was sent from Kjerag when the Grand Tutor visited Kjerag. And Kjerag was mentioned in many places. If nothing unexpected happened, the Grand Tutor's arrangement must be related to Kjerag.

Should he use the opportunity of the International Games to test Kjerag's attitude? Or should he use Kjerag to test my attitude?

Zhongyue couldn't figure it out for the time being, because the place name Kjerag was too unfamiliar even to him.

How far is this place from Da Yan? Is it familiar to Yumen?

He had no idea.

So, with a lot of doubts in his mind, he left Yumen with these words: "The court trusts me, the Grand Tutor values ​​me and thinks highly of my abilities, so I will naturally do my best."

He was too lazy to think about all the twists and turns in the political struggle. Instead of thinking about those things, it would be better to focus on the present.

International Games, International Games, competitions on the field.

what is this?

This is the world's number one martial arts competition!

Zhongyue didn't like fighting. As the embodiment of the concept of "Wu", a master who was proficient in all martial arts, the so-called masters in the martial arts world were more or less insignificant in his eyes.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't like to exchange martial arts.

He maintained a positive attitude towards any exchange of martial arts, and was willing to learn from all kinds of talented people. Of course, the premise was that the person who came met the most basic threshold of being a talented person. He even took in two little apprentices and taught them martial arts.

If he doesn't like martial arts and communication, how could he do these things?

And this International Games is a great opportunity for him.

Meeting friends from all over the world and appreciating martial arts from all over the world, if it weren't for such a gimmick, he would not have agreed so readily to temporarily leave Yumen and come to such a foreign country thousands of miles away.

"Master, are you going to do morning exercises today as well?"

The voice of his disciple and military officer asking questions came from behind him, and Zhongyue shook his head:

"No, today, we are going to watch the knight competition."

"Knightly competition?" The recording officer was stunned.

He thought that the Grandmaster was not interested in such competitions. This was because it was not their first day in Casimir, but before this, the Grandmaster had never asked to watch a competition.

Why did you suddenly want to go? Why today?

As if he had seen through the military officer's doubts, Zhongyue put on his brown jacket and smiled gently:

"Didn't you hear what was said on the news just now?"

"The preliminaries are over. Next up is the main competition."

If the preliminaries were a mixed bag and a gathering of all kinds of people, then the start of the main competition would be the stage where all the best people would gather.

Because this special championship is compatible with the Universal Games and the Universal Games, the original main competition has become the qualifying round of the Universal Games.

A group of people who are not representatives of a certain national force, nor do they represent a certain capital or force (such as an independent city-state), can complete a triple jump and officially participate in this event by participating in the special championship qualifiers, entering the special championship, reaching the semi-finals of the special championship, and entering the International Competition.

For Zhongyue, the previous special tournament qualifiers were really nothing to watch, but the main tournament was worth watching.

It is possible that there are some strong Mavericks who can surprise people?

Zhongyue said that if he was not also on the national team, he would have wanted to go down to the field to test whether his punches were rusty.

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the military officer again.

"Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The military officer complained with a bitter face.

Zhongyue blinked in confusion:

"What? What's the problem?"

"You also know that today is the first day of the competition. The Casimir Business Association also knows it, and all the residents of Kavaleraki know it!"

The military officer sighed.

"The opening match is already full of hype, with the Candle Knight vs. the Flat Knight. Where can I go to get tickets for us?"

Zhongyue was stunned.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

He has lived for more than a thousand years. In theory, what kind of scenes has he not seen?

But this question is really beyond the scope!

Chapter 371 Zhongyue: This Jeston must be an expert!

Casimir, Grand Knight Leader, at the qualifying round.

Zhongyue finally entered the competition venue.

He is the representative of the Yan Country team. Although the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Council are not good people, they are not willing to offend those players who can represent a big country for such a small profit.

After asking the military officer to call the organizing committee of the knight competition, Zhongyue received a reply from the organizing committee:

[In order to better promote the knight competition culture of Casimir and promote knight competition to the entire land, athletes participating in this and future International Games can watch the current knight competition for free. ]

When he walked into the stadium's auditorium holding the ticket with the "Representative" pattern printed on it, the entire arena was already filled with noise.

Rose Arena, a modern knight arena funded by Rose Newspaper, one of the giants of Casimir Business Federation. It has a competition field that is as big as a modern football field, more than 20,000 seats for spectators, and four large display screens hanging from the dome. Nearly 100 cameras are shooting all-round without blind spots in the entire arena, broadcasting every detail of the knight competition live.

Such a huge investment naturally means greater profits!

The 20,000 seats were packed, more than a dozen large companies placed advertisements, and "Exciting" drones flew back and forth in the sky, distributing souvenirs purchased by every audience member. The prize pool on the big screen continued to accumulate, gradually reaching a number that even Chongyue was shocked.

"Master, I now understand why the people of Casimir place so much importance on knightly competitions."

The military officer opened his mouth wide, looking at the prize pool that was still rising, no, soaring, and his inner surprise was hard to contain.

Zhongyue nodded slightly, his face somewhat serious:

"Yeah, maybe we are all wrong."

"This is not a martial arts tournament where martial artists from all over the world exchange their martial arts skills, but an oversized wishing well."

The wishing well, that's the only way Chongyue could describe it.

After all, he had only seen so many people throwing so much money into one place in the donation boxes of Buddhist temples and the wishing pools of Taoist temples.

The believers who throw money into the wishing well seek to have their dreams come true and to feel psychologically comforted. So what are the people of Casimir seeking?

"The Knight's Tournament is a commercial event. If you simply view it as a martial arts tournament, you may be disappointed."

An unfamiliar voice came from his ear. Zhongyue turned around and looked at the silver-haired film boy who was three rows taller than him.

He spoke the Yan language, and although his accent leaned a bit towards the Shangshu dialect, and there was always a sense of confusion, Chongyue could still understand it.

After all, he also has two younger sisters. One likes to eat Shangshu hotpot and speaks Shangshu dialect, while the other, although she does not speak Shangshu dialect, lives in seclusion in the mountains of Shangshu, dreaming her Spring and Autumn dream, a dream that lasts for a hundred years.

Zhongyue nodded politely to the young man:

"You look unfamiliar, are you also from Yan country?"

“Not really.” Ernst shook his head. “I’m from Kjerag.”

He paused and waved to Zhongyue:

"You'd better come up first and stop standing there. If you keep going like this, the gentleman you're blocking will get angry."

Zhongyue looked at Kuranta, who was holding the Candle Knight's refueling lamp sign in front of him, with sudden realization, and quickly bowed, called out to the military officer, and walked up.

He was next to the silver-haired boy. If he guessed correctly, this area should be the [International Games Athletes Viewing Area] arranged by the Business Federation.
