Working Prophet.

Although Ilea has won four rounds of the competition and has become a favorite for the championship, her mentality has not had time to completely change.

Always thinking about how to make a fortune and run away, and unlike the golden fly, the crow is also from a famous family anyway.

If this kind of private transaction broke out, his reputation as the party that paid the money would be completely ruined, and the money was not spent to win the contest, but to buy a less ugly loss.

If this kind of thing is exposed, he will definitely not want to hang out in the capital in the future, and as for the Royal Knights, he will not want such a tainted retinue knight.

So Ilea never thought that the crow would use this method to trick her from the beginning.

Miss Rabbit was shocked immediately, "I don't have any big grudges with him, isn't it just that someone beat him up, so he has to lose his own future and kick me out of the martial arts tournament?
"And this guy hides too deeply. He wanted to frame me with the golden fly before. If it wasn't for my heartache... No, it's his eyes like torches. Wouldn't he be out now?!"

"I think Lord Brian is probably being tricked by someone." Ruby said, "Because, as you said, it's really not good for him if this matter is really exposed."

"So this is another black hand of the Church of Life?"

"This... I'm not sure, but I think Priest Cornelia would prefer you to confront the Earth Bear, so that she can use the Earth Bear's hand to get rid of you directly, once and for all."

The female lord was confused again when she heard the words, "Who else could it be if it wasn't the Church of Life? I didn't offend anyone else in the capital, except Geoff...but that dead liar probably isn't that capable.

"Forget it, the competition is about to start," Ilea said sincerely as she held Ruby's hand and didn't have time to take care of such things for the time being.

"Thanks for reminding me, Charlene. How lucky I am to have you!"

Ruby was a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Because she knew in her heart that she did not meet the female lord "accidentally", she was secretly guarding Ilea under Li Yu's order.

Just last night, Li Yu chatted with her for a while again. There are experts like Jude and Thomas, and powerful foreign aid like Wilder, plus the recent firepower of the motion sensor and the rabbit.

Li Yu is actually not too worried about Ilea's personal safety, but this is Lionheart Castle, the political and power center of the empire, and what is more dangerous is the conspiracy and calculations lurking in the dark.

Faced with this kind of threat, Jude and others together are not as useful as Ruby.

After finishing speaking, the female lord was going to reject Brian's servant who was anxiously waiting for a reply, but was stopped by Ruby again, "Lord Ilea."

"Ok?"

"Actually, there is a way. Even if you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, you can still make them pay a higher price, and you can continue to participate in the tournament."

"any solution?"

"Accept the money and agree to Lord Brian's request." Ruby said.

…………

Seeing that the competition was about to start, the crow was walking around in the tent, looking restless.

From time to time, he would look towards the entrance of the tent, and just when he was about to lose his patience, he finally saw his servant coming back from the outside.

But the expression on the latter's face was a bit weird. Seeing his appearance, Crow's heart sank, "Did she not agree?"

"I promised, I agreed, but..." the servant stammered.

"but what?"

"Mistress Ilea temporarily increased the price by three times."

The crow was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he couldn't help being furious, "Four thousand golden lions, you still buy me to lose?!!! Is she treating me like a fat sheep and slaughtering me to death?"

After speaking, the crow was still angry, but saw that his servant hesitated to speak.

"Why, did she ask for anything else?"

"That's not at all. Lady Ilea just guessed that you might find it too expensive, and said that you don't have to pay the money."

"Is there such a good thing?" For a moment, the crow even felt a little guilty, feeling that he might have wrongly blamed the female lord.

But then I heard the servant say, "If she said something like this, then the competition will be normal. I hope you can admit defeat early, or you may lose your leg."

After hearing this, Crow laughed angrily, "Well, well, she really loves money as much as the rumors say."

"Do you want me to reject her?" The servant also felt that the asking price was too harsh.

But the crow fell into silence when he heard the words. After a while, he said, "Although four thousand golden lions is a lot of money, it is not as important as my legs."

He gritted his teeth, "Promise her, but you tell her that I only have one thousand on hand, and I have to owe the rest first. I will pay her after I raise it in a few days. I can write an IOU first."

The servant nodded, seeing that the crow had made up his mind, he didn't say anything, and hurried to find the female lord with money.

And shortly after the two sides finalized the deal, the contest began.

The crow was a little trembling when he came up. To show his sincerity, he even took off the outer armor and only wore a cloth armor. He would definitely not be able to carry the terrifying weapon that could kill people invisible.

But fortunately, the female lord didn't pull out her flintlock as soon as she came up, but just stood there looking at him with a half-smile.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Crow always felt that the girl's smile seemed to be mocking, and when he thought of being blackmailed by four thousand golden lions, his heart ached even more.

He didn't have much fighting spirit either, so he drew his sword and tried it a few times in a pretentious manner. When he saw the female lord's hand approaching his waist, he couldn't help but shiver, and quickly backed away.

After a few times, the crow probably didn't think it was interesting, so he rushed up and asked Ilea to bring out the artifact that could summon thunder, and knocked him to the ground.

The crow tried to get up several times afterwards, but as soon as he stood up half of his body, he was shocked again, fell to the ground again, and then struggled to stand up again. After a few times, even the onlookers couldn't help admiring the crow .

I feel that although this young man's martial arts are ordinary, his willpower is quite tenacious, and he has the ruthless energy to never admit defeat.

The crow felt that the performance was almost done, so he fell to the ground, pretending to be unconscious, and never got up again.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately declared Ilea the winner.

Afterwards, the crow was carried down for treatment, and when the crowd of onlookers were feeling that the female lord's melee combat was so powerful, there was a discordant voice.

"I want to report that there was a money transaction between Sir Ilea and Bryan before the battle."

Hearing this sentence, the crowd couldn't help being in an uproar.
