Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 602 The Priceless Treasure
The swordsmanship competition this time is no longer a pure competitive competition, but an international political means.

Of course, Victorian officials attach great importance to it.

The special investigation team is still continuing to track down the murderer, but the authorities need double insurance, the best way to catch the murderer, but if they really can't be caught in the end, they also have to try their best to have leverage in international negotiations.

For this reason, the official wants to attract enough strong players to participate in the competition to show Victoria's force, which is like a military exercise in disguise.

The requirement for registration is to be a Victorian citizen and be recommended by a student on campus. This rule is not a restriction at all. The students of the Royal Academy are either rich or expensive. What the rule really wants to express is.

[All of you students go back and use your family power to recruit all the ruthless people you can find in Victoria to compete! 】

Since it is a competition, there must be prizes.

Originally, Xia Feng had no interest in this kind of political game, but after knowing what the prize was, he was moved.

The top 20 in the competition all have different amounts of money rewards, this is a must, and the top 3 prizes exceed 8 figures.

This is a number that ordinary people dare not even imagine, and it is more exciting than buying a lottery ticket.

Compared to Ursus, Victoria is not a country that advocates force. On the contrary, the so-called warriors are not very popular in this country. If they want to make money through serious means, the most they can do is to get ahead in the army.

If you are not serious, you can only join gangs and become mercenaries, and exchange your life for money.

The bonus this time can be said to be a big victory for the reckless. The Lian family in Victoria never thought that one day they could become multi-millionaires by fighting.

However, Xia Feng would not go to the arena to fight with others for a mere tens of millions of bonuses, and be treated like a monkey by the audience. A civilized person like him would not easily use violence.

What really attracted him was not the bonus, but another reward for the champion of this competition.

The royal family said in the announcement that if the champion of this swordsmanship competition is a nobleman, then the noble rank will be automatically promoted by one level. If he is not a nobleman, the royal family will officially award the title of nobleman of the third level and grant him a fiefdom.

This reward is really sweet for Xia Feng.

In other words, as long as he can win the championship, he will be a Victorian nobleman from now on. Although he is only a third-level nobleman, the genuine noble privileges are still valid.

He didn't care at all whether the land was sealed or not, all he wanted was this title, as long as he became a nobleman, it was equivalent to breaking into the enemy's interior.

It's like their family is setting up a street stall in the night market. You don't pay the management fee, and you sell the goods carefully every day, for fear of being taken away.

At this time, you suddenly become an urban management, even if it is just a temporary worker, it will be of great help to the family's street stall business.

The nobles have the power and responsibility to supervise the place instead of the royal family. In a sense, this power even overrides the local security bureau and the mayor, because the nobles can bypass the administrative system and report directly to the royal family.

In addition, nobles can also enter the National Yuan Council. Of course, no one cares about the opinions of a level 3 noble, but this can obtain information on policy changes in the first place.

Standing in front of the college's bulletin board, Xia Feng carefully wrote down the time of the swordsmanship competition. The selection competition will officially start next Friday, and there is still plenty of time.

For some reason, he developed a long-lost passion, just like when he was in elementary school and represented the whole class in the sports meeting.

Xia Feng raised his right hand high and shouted loudly.

"I want to be a champion!"

It provoked the contempt of the students next to him.

Now that the army has withdrawn from the academy, although the special investigation team is still secretly investigating the murder in the academy, his suspicions have been basically cleared. Of course, he can now ask for leave to leave the academy. There is no need to be here before the swordsmanship competition begins. Dry consumption.

The night before leaving, Xia Feng and Yin Hui met again in the tavern in the food street.

"cheers!"

Including Jiaofeng, the three cups collided.

Yinhui's whole face was full of joy, and those who didn't know the inside story thought he was in love.

"Xia Feng, you did this beautifully. I really admire you."

Xia Feng picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewing while replying.

"Average, the third in the country."

Victoria's investigation team has fully proved that Silver Gray has no suspicions. On the night of Ricky's death, Silver Gray was attending a party with royal member Verisa.

However, although the matter has been settled, Yinhui will still fulfill the official purpose of coming to the Royal Academy this time, and participate in the swordsmanship competition held next week. After everything subsides, he will return to Kjerag.

As usual, there were no customers in this small restaurant, Yin Hui lowered his voice.

"Xia Feng, how is your companion?"

Xia Feng knew that Yinhui was referring to Laplande.

"Don't worry, she's already gone abroad. She's traveling at public expense. The big bus must be swaying happily."

Silver Gray nodded.

"That's good. If I have a chance to meet her in the future, I will definitely thank her in person."

"It's okay, it's all our own people."

Now the turmoil has not completely passed, and Xia Feng has not talked with Yin Hui about this matter. Although outsiders can't understand what they are talking about, it is better to be cautious.

Afterwards, Xia Feng expressed to Yin Hui that he wanted to participate in the swordsmanship competition, and that he was bound to win the championship.

After hearing his words, Yinhui was a little surprised.

"You still want a bonus? Is the Chamber of Commerce short of money recently? How about I lend you some?"

Xia Feng waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I'm not short of money. What I lack is status. This time, the champion royal family will grant you the title of nobility. To tell you the truth, I'm crying."

Yin Hui quickly understood the importance of the title of nobility to Xia Feng.

"I understand, but... I didn't hit you. I'm afraid this championship is not so easy to win. Do you know swordsmanship?"

"No, but I fight really hard."

Silver Gray shook his head.

"No, according to the regulations of the previous swordsmanship competitions, no spells or origin stone skills are allowed in the swordsmanship competitions, only swords can be used as weapons, and there will be professional supervisors on site."

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the swordsmanship competition could only use swords.

His original idea was to go all the way from the trials to the finals, and at the last moment, he would draw out a black and white pair of punches to hit the opponent's head in his crotch, turning him into a third-level nobleman.

But according to what Yin Hui said, this obviously won't work.

Black and white twins need to be activated with the energy of Origin Stones. From the perspective of outsiders, this is clearly a type of Origin Stone skill or spell, and if it is not done well, it will be judged as a violation.

What the official wants to show in the competition is not destructive power, but the determination and will of martial arts practitioners to fight.

Of course, it can be seen from the rules that the use of origin stone skills and spells is not allowed, and most people don't care, because they are not infected, and almost 90.00% of people can't use them. Wizards like Tianhuo are simply rare .

He guessed that most of the contestants would come from the military or some civil organizations.

Xia Feng stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, then slapped his thigh.

"It's okay. Although I don't know swordsmanship, some of my companions can. Anyway, there is no limit to sign up."

Yinhui is obviously very interested in swordsmanship.

"Oh? Which companion you mentioned is very good at swordsmanship?"

Xia Feng is full of confidence.

"I think it's okay, but the old man is a bit old and has a stubborn temper. He doesn't like to use swords, but only likes to use umbrellas."
