She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 48: Join the team.

Alice looked at him blankly:

“do not want.”

Obviously, Kent had never thought that he would be rejected. He now looked like he was thrown a bucket of cold water on the head, and he was just stunned on the spot.

“Can you give me a break?” Alice asked.

Kent didn’t go straight back as Alice expected. He froze first, then with tears in his eyes, he took Alice’s hand and shook desperately:

“How can you do this!”

Alice felt that she was going to fall apart by him.

This guy has such a wild personality that Alice could hardly imagine that he was a waiter. It stands to reason, shouldn’t anyone who has been a waiter in a castle be very stable?

Alice had some doubts about the education of the children in the castle. But at this moment the situation is not enough for her to think about it, she must free her arm from Kent’s claws.

Alice took out the knife she had bought on the way back to the capital from the north.

Unexpectedly, this thing could actually come in handy, she raised her knife high and warned in a serious tone:

“I’ll pierce you if you don’t let go.”

Kent let go angrily, turned his head to the side, and complained loudly:

“You indifferent woman.”

Even so, his feet did not move a step.

Seeing Kent didn’t mean to leave at all, Alice sighed and asked him:

“So, what’s going on in a team?”

Kent waited for Alice to ask. With just one question, he could be resurrected from a state of depression, and his eyes became shiny again:

“During dinner the day before yesterday, His Highness said at the table that this time the Cavaliers Tournament is different from the past. It requires a three-person team to participate, saying that it is to strengthen the knights’ sense of unity and cooperation.”

‘so what?”

“You, me, and Father Philo, exactly three people.”

Alice looked at Kent suspiciously:

“Master Philo agrees to team up with you?”

“Not yet.” Kent showed an expression of “you found it”, “I want to come to you first. After you agree, we will go and persuade Mr. Philo to participate!”

“I don’t want to participate.” Alice said, “as if there is not enough work for me.”

Alice is telling the truth. Although the affairs of Ronald Village have been decided temporarily, in fact, she still has to go back often to check the situation. The arrears in the village cannot be paid off in the autumn. Maybe the businessman will have something to say then. After all, the money was mortgaged with the land in the village, and Alice didn’t want to sell the land as soon as he took over. That would make the Duchess think she was incompetent, or at least unreliable.

Otherwise, she was born as a mercenary. Master Roma told her ten thousand times that the Glory thing was useless to them, at least it was far less valuable than life. This teaching took root deeply in Alice’s mind, even if she became a knight now, she couldn’t change it. All in all, no matter what Kent said, she would never go to a knight tournament that required her to risk her life without any money.

Unexpectedly, Kent was actually angry, frowned, his face flushed, and it took a long time to utter this sentence:

“You shouldn’t say such things. You are a knight. Participating in the knight tournament is the best chance to win honor.”

“A knight who was a mercenary one quarter ago.” Alice pointed out, “forgive me for people like me who were still selling their lives for money three months ago. There is nothing to do with the honor game of you noble knight masters. Interest.”

“This is not a game.” Kent’s anger rose visibly with his naked eyes. “When there is no war to fight, the Knight Tournament is the only hope for us to succeed. Moreover. The duke will reward you with the land in your village, I. But there is nothing. The allowance for training soldiers is not enough to even go to the tavern to drink, let alone buy some good equipment. I have to win the Cavaliers Tournament and get the bounty to buy equipment.”

Alice grasped the point very accurately:

“Is there a bounty for winning the Cavaliers Tournament?”

“Of course, what are you thinking about.” Kent gave her a blank look. “The category that wins the championship will receive a medal and bounty granted by the Duchess herself.”

Bounty is much more tempting than honor, but Alice licked her lips, still did not immediately agree to him, but asked another question:

“Speaking of…you are from a noble family, why don’t you have the money to buy equipment?”

Kent looked at Alice’s eyes and understood that if he didn’t say it clearly, she would not agree to team up with him.

“Oh, you don’t understand.” He sighed, “The difference between aristocrats and aristocrats is huge. Although my family is aristocrat, there are only so little things passed down. A title with a fief was given to my elder brother. , A set of full body armor was given to my second brother. It was my turn to go to the temple as a priest, but I hated the virtues of the temple priests since I was a child, so I simply begged them to send me here as a waiter. Finally, I became a knight. I was finally able to exhale, but there was still nothing in my pocket. In short, it’s easier for people like us when we were young than when you were mercenaries. There is no shortage of food and clothing. I can also find a place to be a waiter, but it’s actually not more generous than you.”

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that just now.”

“There is no need to apologize.” Kent waved his hand. “In short, would you like to team up with me?”

“Why do you have to look for me?” Alice had been moved by him a long time ago, but refused to let go, “You are also a knight of noble origin. Those people will not look down on you. There are dozens of knights in the castle, how about you? Just stared at me?”

“Do you think this matter is only related to birth?”

Kent looked at her like an idiot:

“Of the knights in the castle, only three of us are the Duchess faction, and everyone else has other factions. It is impossible to be willing to team up with us. In short, for your Highness, as long as the final winner is the knight of Yunji Castle, She will not lose face in front of other lords, but if the three of us win in the end, she will definitely be very happy.”

Winning the Knight Tournament can make the Duchess happy.

Alice has never thought about it from this angle. But Kent was clearly right. The duke definitely hopes that the knight who is loyal to her is the strongest in the entire West Felix.

Alice didn’t plan to toss Kent anymore, she nodded happily:

“Okay, then I will participate.”

Kent breathed a sigh of relief:

“I knew you were an idiot who couldn’t even think of this kind of thing, so I’ll analyze the situation for you sooner.”

Alice smiled, did not take Kent’s statement to heart, just asked him:

“Do you think we can win?”

Just look at Kent’s obsession with the Knight Tournament. In the past few days when Alice was not in the castle, Kent did not go to the old knight Philo, and it was absolutely impossible to be idle. He must have already planned.

“I have already thought about it.” Kent was enthusiastic. “There are three basic items in the Knight Tournament, archery, sword fighting, and horse racing. In the past, one winner was selected for each of the three items, but now it is Team competition depends on the number of wins that everyone in the group wins, and the final score. Although the judgment of victory is a bit different from the original method, as long as the members of our group can win the championship in three games, the other two Individuals who do not particularly drag their feet are equivalent to winning the entire conference.”

Kent’s plan seems too idealistic, no matter how you look at it, it is unreliable. Alice looked at Kent with a distrustful look:

“That’s it?”

Alice’s eyes hurt Kent a bit:

“Don’t look at me that way, I’ve thought it through.”

Alice put her hands on her chest, waiting to hear Kent talk about his thoughtfulness. Kent cleared his throat:

“You have seen my archery skills, how do you feel?”

Alice once went to an archery range with him, knowing that he has everything to do and is very accomplished in archery.

“Although I don’t understand that much, I can see that you are really good at this.”

Kent curled up his mouth and smiled triumphantly:

“It’s not that I’m boasting, at least no one in the castle of Yunqi can beat me now, not to mention the country knights in other parts of West Felix. Don’t look at the appearance of Old Philo, he is an expert in the battle right away. , I won the Immediate Tournament in the capital that year. You are a mercenary, and swordsmanship will not be bad. As long as the three of us form a team. It is guaranteed that no one of the other knights can beat us.”

Kent was full of confidence, but Alice felt that everything could not be as easy as he imagined, so she decided to pour some cold water on him first:

“You think it’s good, but the Philo knights have to agree to team up with you. The Philo knights are not young anymore, maybe they don’t want to be fully armed to compete immediately.”

Kent’s expression suddenly became pitiful:

“Master Philo is very nice. If Alice asked him to help join him, he would definitely not disagree.”

Therefore, the reason why Kent did not go to invite Philo Knight, but waited for Alice to come back, is here-he thinks Alice is more talkative than Philo Knight. Or, he felt that if Alice, a girl, begged Philo Knight, he was more likely to agree.

“Do you want me to find Philo Cavaliers and invite him to join the team?”

Kent nodded quickly and looked at Alice with expectant eyes.

Obviously, this guy talked about the political turmoil in Yunji Castle, and he was able to make a point, but he was like a child at this time. Alice sighed:

“Well, I’ll go to Philo Knight with you after dinner, let me rest now, okay?”

Kent finally let go of Alice and went back to his room with a sigh of relief. Alice threw herself back on the bed again, but couldn’t rest as contemptuously as before.

The Philo knight is not young, but he is not old enough to lift a spear and swing a sword. He came from the royal capital to West Felix when the duchess got married when the duchess got married. It was a complete duchess party. He is extremely loyal to the Duchess, and the Duchess seems to regard him as her elder brother, as a person to rely on.

When Alice was made a knight before, only he and Kent were present. In this regard, Alice is grateful, but Alice has not spoken to him yet, and it is not clear what his temperament is. But since Kent is so serious, he must still feel that there is a chance to win him over and let him join the team.

Kent seemed confident in his plan, but Alice was not as optimistic as him. Most of the knights in Yunji Castle are in their prime. Both experience and physical stamina are at their peak, and they are definitely not opponents that can be underestimated. What is going on between Philo Knight and Kent, Alice doesn’t know much about it, but although Alice herself is very good at close combat, she has never tried to compete with a spear immediately, and she is just new to archery. .

Even if they can successfully pull the Philo Knights over to join, is it really possible for a team like this to win?
