He turned around and pointed to the Vielle hanging on the side of the horse, and said politely.

The convening of the athletic conference is also a rare event in the giant city.

Under normal circumstances, it may not be held once every few years.

So in recent months, many young talents have come from all over the world.

There were even young people coming from other giant cities and kingdoms.

In addition to winning the tournament, you will gain the right to attend the noble banquet hosted by Henry, Marquis of Lancaster.

You can also get a sizable bonus.

Of course, the above two items have almost no appeal to the heirs of nobles.

What they care more about is to come out on top in the competition and get a good ranking, because the prestige brought by each competition is huge, especially for those contestants who perform well in the competition.

For the aristocratic children who have enough food and clothing, they care more about their reputation.

Gaining a good reputation will be of great help to their future development in the aristocratic circle.

In addition to the aristocratic children, young people from all over the country are also eager to try.

Prepare to prove yourself in competitive competitions.

Therefore, many young people from all over the country have recently come to Jucheng to participate in competitive competitions.

In particular, England still looked dusty.

Upon hearing his words, the Guards soldier on duty just nodded expressionlessly.

He raised the magic disk in his hand and emitted a white dim light that swept across England's face.

Under this ray of light, his face did not change at all.

At this time, the soldier on duty nodded, put away the long sword in his hand, and turned his head slightly to indicate that he could enter the giant city.

England nodded calmly, turned around and took the reins of the lame white horse.

He actually had some doubts in his heart, but the pass guard didn't want to say much, and he didn't want to get into any trouble. According to England's previous experience, unless there was a war around the giant city, entry and exit from the giant city would usually not be so strict.

Suppressing the confusion in his heart, England mounted his white horse again and walked toward the outskirts of the giant city of Lentax, preparing to find a tavern and cover the news with a few drinks.

As a bard, he often goes to taverns in various places to try his luck.

The pub is a place full of endless possibilities.

Here you may be able to meet horse bandits who enter the city hiding their identities, nobles who go out for training, down-and-out traveling businessmen, and bartenders who are always tipsy.

In addition, the tavern is also a place where street rats gather.

These black street rats are active in the slums, forming a hidden underground network in the city.

They often know a lot of gossip.

Able to keenly capture any disturbance in the giant city.

The rats are not very powerful in terms of force, but they are superior in numbers and good at fanning the flames.

It is said that even the "Shadow Dragon Hunter" who is in charge of intelligence in the Kingdom of Avalon has cultivated underworld forces in some giant cities to find out information about the hidden side of the city.

England knew this very well. After all, bards themselves can be considered a special kind of message transmitters.

After passing through the pass, you can still see groups of well-armed cavalry passing by from time to time on both sides of the straight road of the giant city. These cavalry are so majestic that they attract the attention of civilians and farmers on the road.

"If only it were the games and the Marquess of Lancaster's banquet."

"The giant city shouldn't be so heavily guarded."

He secretly speculated in his heart, and his traveling intuition told him that something must have happened in the giant city of Lentax!

The top priority is to find a hotel to stay immediately, and then go have a drink or two. By then, you should be able to figure out what happened.

England shook his head gently to get rid of all distracting thoughts. While observing the surrounding situation, he walked along the straight road towards the outer city of Lentax.

Viewed from a distance, the entire giant city of Lentax looks like a giant gray beast crawling on the ground.

There is a unique "soul" that belongs to the city itself.

…

At the same time, the third city district of the giant city of Lentax.

This is the third circle among the four major circles in the city, which can be regarded as a circle where the middle class in the city gathers.

Countless stone roads cut the third circle into different areas.

Among them are the houses of small nobles and merchants, as well as the houses of small workshop owners and farmers.

The overall level of orderliness is much better than that of the fourth circle.

In a large commercial street on the north side of the third circle.

The door of Green Field Chaolu Tavern is closed.

The sign on the tavern is engraved with green leaves and vines.

There are also vines planted on the fence outside, with cute little white flowers blooming.

There is a "Closed" tag hanging on the fence outside the tavern, which makes the tavern look a little deserted.

Behind the closed door, every table and chair in the tavern hall was wiped clean.

A small wooden chair with a backrest was placed upside down on the table.

There were wine glasses upside down on the bar.

Since the doors and windows were closed, the hall looked very dark.

There is also a wooden staircase on the side leading to the second floor.

Just looking at the layout, there is not much difference between this place and those common pubs.

But there is a tunnel hidden under the stairs.

This tunnel is entirely made of bluestone, glowing coldly in the dim environment.

The tunnel is very long, and there are even patina on the walls.

It has a quaint feel.

Walking down the steps into the tunnel, you suddenly see the light about thirty or forty meters underground.

Secret passages and stone chambers have been opened here.

The secret passage has many branches, and no one knows where it will lead.

On the bluestone wall of the secret passage, there is a green leaf painted, and there is an eye in the middle of the green leaf.

Every once in a while, a thick branch protrudes from the wall, and a fist-sized fruit hangs on the top of the branch. This fruit is always emitting white light.

This is the lighting in the secret passage.

In one of the stone rooms in the secret passage, a tall man covered in bruises was tied to a wooden stake.

A handsome-looking blond elf man held a blood-stained green vine whip.

Behind him sat two beautiful high elf women.

They wore silver-white light armor, and each held a strange silver-gray mask in their hands.

Her bright yellow hair reaches straight past her shoulders, and her pair of pointed elf ears are particularly eye-catching. One of them has longer hair and looks more dignified, while the other one with shorter hair looks more lively.

The short-haired elf girl looked at the tall man, turned to the long-haired elf woman and said.

"Sister Ella, it's been seven days, and this human still refuses to reveal the location of the slave?"

The dignified elf girl named Ella turned her head calmly.

"I'd rather know how he knew about the Elf Eyes gathering a week ago."

"Perhaps those nobles are involved."

"The most important thing is that the meeting was confidential. I am worried that some compatriots will be corrupted and leak the information."

"By the way, Heya, the giant city has been under martial law recently, have you heard about it?"

Heya shook her head and put on her mask out of boredom.

I saw that she instantly changed from a beautiful high elf woman to a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties.

Both the signature pointed ears and the beautiful blond hair have disappeared.

"According to Brother Kaxiu, it seems that the second prince of the Pendragon royal family has arrived."

"Then the Marquis of Lancaster is the second prince's lackey."

"You must know that the three princesses now control several giant cities on the eastern coast."

"This place is adjacent to the east, so it's probably for the purpose of fighting for power."

Heya adjusted her mask and walked out of the stone room nimbly.

"Then, dear sister Ella, the task of interrogating this slave trader will be left to you and brother Saroyan!"
