This Viscount Chekhov is also an acquaintance of Shade. When Shade went to Lakeview Manor for the second time to attend the grand wedding banquet early last winter, Shade played cards with him. This Viscount has a rich family fortune and is still somewhat famous.

's poet.

"What will happen if I accidentally injure someone or even kill someone during the race? Although no one is willing to do this, accidents will inevitably happen."

Xia De asked on the side. Everyone knew that he was participating in the competition for the first time, so they were willing to explain the situation to him:

"If it's just a minor injury, no one will pursue it. If it's a major casualty, Rydwich Field will intervene in the investigation, but as long as it's not intentional, it's basically just compensation."

Viscount Chekov said, and then asked Xiang Shade with a smile:

"It will definitely be interesting to have Rejed's Hamilton competing this year. Knight, in whose name will you swear your loyalty later?"

The surrounding gentlemen all laughed in unison, and Shade also smiled:

"You'll know about it in tomorrow's paper."

For such an important event, major newspapers in the city, including the Tobesk Morning News and the Terrarel Evening News, will publish information about the contestants who have signed up for the competition for several days in a row, including their family background and personal privacy, for the public’s benefit.

They talked about it for fun. But the contestants not only didn't mind, but were proud of themselves for receiving more attention.

Generally speaking, there are no more than fifty contestants each year, so it is appropriate to devote a full page to reporting on it.

It was not until 10:30 that morning that it was finally Shade's turn to enter the office with the temporary sign "Registration Office for the 1854 Equestrian Competition."

This is the largest office on the first floor of the city hall. Outside the window is the courtyard of the city hall, and outside is the crowded Silver Cross Avenue. From here, you can even see the corner of the building in Saint Teresa Square in the distance.

The room was now divided into two parts. On the left side was a desk and a bookshelf filled with kraft paper bags. On the desk were piles of forms and registration instructions that smelled of ink. The right side of the room was arranged as

In a place similar to a tailor's shop, an old man with a measuring tape hanging around his neck was bending over and writing something on a table with a piece of cloth on the table.

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."

Mr. Morris, a middle-aged man wearing a black formal uniform at the registration desk, obviously recognized Shade. He stood up from the chair behind the desk, shook hands with Shade, and then introduced the situation. The two reporters sitting on the bench also began to take notes.

Maybe the conversation will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

"Let me confirm first, have you prepared your horses and armor?"

"Yes, Carina has already, I mean Miss Carina has already prepared it for me."

Mr. Morris nodded:

"Then the registration process is very simple for you. You don't need to bother with the registration form. Yesterday the Duke had his servant send you your basic information. What you need to pay attention to is this 'Competition Supplies List'. Please fill it out in the next week. Send it here before get off work at six o'clock in the evening."

The items that need to be filled in on that list are the horse's pedigree, age, color, and the style and size of the stomach.

"You also know the dangers of the city riding competition. Here is an information form. After signing, you are aware of the dangers of participating in the competition."

Another document was handed to Shade, which was a five-page stapled paper that listed accidents that might occur during the competition. Once these dangers were encountered, the contestants could not ask for it from the organizer.

Compensatory.

Shade turned it over a little, then raised his eyebrows:

"Wait a minute, someone really died of kidney failure during a game? What kind of death was that?"

Mr. Morris, who was familiar with the situation of the competition, stood beside the table and supported the table, and explained with a smile:

"That was more than twenty years ago. Count Lucius, who came all the way from Ang County, won the first place in the first equestrian competition. To celebrate that night, he found many beautiful local ladies...

...and then unfortunately died suddenly that night. The count was only 31 years old at the time, which is really regrettable. But this incident also tells us not to challenge the physiological limits of human beings easily."

Shade nodded and continued to flip back, and found more bizarre accidents, such as "unfortunately hitting himself while shooting". He had no idea how a person could do such a thing.

"Oh, the Knight of Laiman seventeen years ago was the first to complete all the targets when shooting fixed targets. Seeing another arrow, for reasons we don't know, he shot the arrow into the sky, and then

When he turned around and waved to his wife, he was hit by the arrow as soon as he took two steps."

Mr. Morris shook his head sadly again:

"The Cavalier's shooting skills were quite good, and people thought he was the favorite to win the championship that year."

Shade continued to flip back. After reading the document and signing his name, Mr. Morris coughed and asked Shade in a formal voice:

"Hamilton of Rejed, please swear that you will display the spirit of chivalry during the game. Defend honor, be brave and fearless, show mercy to the weak, and win the championship for the glory of Delrayon. May I ask what you want to do?

Come and take the oath?"

Shade did not answer immediately, but asked:

"May I know what the previous applicants said?"

The reporter is still recording, because these contents will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, so Mr. Morris will not hide it:

"The eldest son of the Marquis of Lyon from Green Lake City, swears by the honor of the family; Viscount Chris Rendall, who lives in the East District of Tobesk, swears by the name of his new wife; as for the person in front of you from Carson

Sir Groom came from Rick. He swore by the national treasure of Carson Rick, the green-winged egret that lives in the Willendale area. Oh, I almost forgot that early this morning, the first person to sign up was La Nader.

·Earl Baggins, he swore by the garter of our noble Queen Diana...I don’t recommend that you imitate Earl Baggins, he is Queen Diana’s cousin and he dares to say that.”

Shade nodded clearly. He can now swear as a knight of "Hamilton of Rejed", or as a girl around him. Even if he doesn't mind his own reputation, he can swear in the name of Xiao Mia.

of.

But Lesia already told him what to do:

"In the name of Her Royal Highness Princess Lesia Cavendish, I will abide by the five virtues of chivalry, defend honor, and use bravery to win victory."

"Your Highness Lesiya?"

Mr. Morris was a little hesitant, but the reporters taking notes on the side suddenly became interested.

"is it not OK?"

Shade asked, and Mr. Morris shook his head hurriedly:

"Of course, it's just... you do this, oh, I shouldn't say this kind of thing, but you do this, Miss Carina..."

"It's okay, I've already told her."

Mr. Morris showed an expression of awe, and he looked at Shade carefully:

"No problem, Hamilton of Rejed, I swear by Your Highness Lesia. If you win, I think His Majesty the King will definitely let His Highness personally present you with the award."

"The bards in the tavern will definitely be excited to death."

Shade also smiled and said.

After finishing the registration and paying the registration fee of 20 pounds, he went to the tailor on the other side of the room and asked him to measure the size of his clothes. Although the armor was prepared by each applicant, the organizer would

Customized formal attire for the participating "knights" to attend the banquet.

This set of clothes is not mandatory to wear, it just follows the traditional process. Compared with the actual meaning, the symbolic meaning of tailoring is the most important.

After tailoring the suit, Shade was assigned his own camp in the camp outside the "Edward III Arena" where the competition was held. It was a camp consisting of tents and stables, and it belonged entirely to Shade and his servants during the competition.
