End of November.

Not long after the Barrel Festival ended, Toussaint's annual Knights Tournament was about to come.

Perhaps because the war between the Nilfgaard Empire and the northern countries was in full swing, there were fewer knights from other parts of the continent than in previous years.

However, the number of knights who signed up to participate in the tournament was still frightening, and almost half of the archery field was filled.

Several passes leading to Toussaint are covered with heavy snow. However, many knights arrive in Toussaint early in July and August in order to participate in the tournament and win the championship that represents supreme courage and honor.

!

In this world with medieval aristocratic rule as its background, Lu Qi had long understood that no one would be willing to follow a nobody.

Even though this nobody has swordsmanship and powerful magic that can defeat a hundred...

Therefore, in order to make a name for himself, Lu Qi did not hesitate to sign up for this year's knight tournament.

When registering, Lu Qi chose the name "Alex from Zawada" as his participating identity.

After all, Zawada Village is the place where he came to this world, so it has commemorative value.

As for the qualifications for the competition, Lu Qi only had to tell Dandelion and his name would easily appear on the competition list.

Through the scribe responsible for copying, Lu Qi learned about the competition items, rewards and oaths of the Toussaint Knights Tournament.

The competition events are very simple, there are only three, namely archery, equestrian, and fencing.

Archery and equestrianism are one-on-one competitions. Whoever hits the most targets and whoever rides a horse to complete the track first will defeat the opponent and advance to the next round.

The final swordsmanship event is a team battle. Five people form a team, and the two teams fight in the arena. The last person standing is the winner.

However, the conference is not over yet.

The winner of the team will face the previous champion of the tournament. Only by defeating the opponent can he truly win the championship of this year's knight tournament!

The reward for this year’s championship is exactly what Lu Qi values ​​​​—money!

A full two hundred florins!

If you go to the bank and exchange it for Temerian crowns, it will be six hundred crowns.

Six hundred crowns was enough for him to return to Temeria to recruit soldiers and form a small but elite mercenary force.

It is worth mentioning that when the secretary of the conference asked him to take the oath of knighthood based on his most important character and strictly abide by it in the following conference, Lu Qi chose to take the oath in the name of freedom.

In Lu Qi's heart, freedom is what he values ​​and longs for most...

...

The tournament will complete all projects within two days.

The first day is archery and horse riding. The second day is the highlight of the team battle and the championship battle.

Even if he cannot use magic and [Eagle Vision], Lu Qi can crush all opponents simply by relying on his extraordinary physical fitness.

Especially after investigating all his opponents, he became even more calm and composed.

Tsk tsk, no one can fight...

On the day of the conference, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blew on the face, making people squint their eyes comfortably.

The competition ground outside the city of Beauclair was crowded with people, as if the people and nobles of Toussaint had gathered in this area.

The cries of vendors, the sounds of children playing, and the self-bragging of knights filled every corner of the arena.

As a contestant, Lu Qi has a tent of his own for use.

Just as he was sitting on the chair, concentrating on cleaning his "Black Hawk" steel sword, a lively voice sounded from the door of the tent:

"Hey! Alex, we're here to cheer you up!"

Looking up, I saw Angouleme, Milva and Regis slowly walking into the tent.

"Let me guess, Dandelion is accompanying the Duchess, and the witcher is the black-haired sorceress who is accompanying him, right?"

"Yes, but they are all sitting on the stage, ready to enjoy your performance." Regis took a step forward and smiled: "I think we should come over to see how you are preparing, and prepare a preview by the way.

I wish you victory in the tournament."

The other companions in the girl-hunting team have a very intuitive understanding of Lu Qi's combat effectiveness.

A powerful swordsman who could survive the siege of the Nilfgaardian army unscathed, and a powerful swordsman who could single-handedly challenge the notorious "Nightingale" gang. If they could not easily win the championship of the tournament, they would not have thought that the entire Toussaint

Who else can defeat him in a one-on-one challenge?

Perhaps, demon hunters and vampires can fight with it.

However, according to what the demon hunter himself said, even with all his strength, he could not beat Lu Qi, who was much better at swordsmanship.

After all, swordsmanship has never been what Lu Qi is best at...

After staying with his friends in the tent for a while, Lu Qi soon ushered in his first game.

Arriving at the bustling archery range, Lu Qi, who had already changed into a black soft armor, looked up at Dandelion sitting next to the duchess on the high platform, and Geralt sitting next to the sorceress, and then looked up.

He looked away.

"Attention!"

"The next person to compete in archery is from..."

"The game begins!"

Following the order from the messenger, Lu Qi's eyes sharpened, he quickly opened his bow and nocked an arrow!

The moment he let go, the arrow shot out was like a bolt of black lightning, piercing directly into the farthest target!

At this time, the opponent on the side had just drawn an arrow from the quiver...

The [Archery] skill learned from Milva has been upgraded to the [lv2] level in just half a month. Coupled with the terrifying reaction speed, Lu Qi has not even finished shooting half of the target.

They all hit their targets.

Not only did Lu Qi win the archery event, but also the horseback riding event later, of course, Lu Qi won with an overwhelming advantage.

Lu Qi, who had conquered two cities in a row and had a huge advantage, naturally became the captain of one of the teams in the team battle.

Obviously, the other contestants are not fools. They know that Lu Qi, a powerful opponent, is the biggest obstacle on the road to winning the championship.

However, the gap in combat power was too great, and the honor of the knights did not allow them to fight in groups to deal with Lu Qi in public.

What surprised Lu Qi was that after he led his team to kill all the opponents of the other team, the other three members of the same team unanimously surrendered to him without any discussion.

In this way, Lu Qi entered the final championship battle without any suspense amid deafening cheers and applause.

After deliberately letting go, the previous martial arts champion persisted in front of him for more than ten rounds, but still lost sadly.

Later, according to the records of Toussaint's scribes, the knights' tournament in 1267 became the least suspenseful one.
