Section 56 Urgent letter

In the center of the site, a long fence divides the entire runway into left and right sides.

At this moment, two fully armed knights rushed towards each other along one side of the fence. At the moment when the two horses intersected, two wooden matches hit the shield with long spears, and the spear head was shattered into wood.

The audience around were shouting to cheer. Unfortunately, both knights did not make any achievements this time. The servants on the side of their respective runways had taken spare spears and were preparing to start the next round of confrontation.

This is the third day of the Jockey Club in Brassian City. As we all know, although this is an ostensibly a horse race, it is actually a festival, including a variety of contents. Everyone knows that the second day’s horse racing is the focus and the main course, but the third day’s horse gun competition and hunting have also been loved by many people. Especially hunting. Not everyone is willing to risk their own and their horses being injured to participate in off-road horse racing, but spending a few small money to hire a group of people to help themselves hunt is a common choice.

The current horse gun competition is a sports competition. Both parties wear particularly reinforced metal armor, but they hold wooden spears, which makes the sports and performance components of this competition far higher than those of actual combat components.

The two knights have gone through five rounds of competition. It can be seen that the two sides are in equal strength and are in equal terms. They have a total of seven rounds of opportunities to compete. If there is no very clear evidence of victory or defeat - such as hitting the breastplate, hitting the head, shooting down the war horse, etc., then the final result will be the incarnation of the goddess of love and beauty, and the queen of this festival will determine the victory or defeat.

The knights participating in the competition also have corresponding honors and bonuses, so this queen of love and beauty has become an important figure today. All knights will pay tribute to her when entering the venue.

However, this time, the result was in the sixth round. A knight accidentally stabbed the helmet by the opponent. The impact was so strong that he fell off his war horse and couldn't get up for a long time.

In the audience, cheers and boos sounded at the same time.

However, now the competition is mainly about civilians or women. Local squire and nobles have begun to think about the hunting ceremony to be held in the afternoon. In fact, this hunting is simple and simple - it is to put a few wild deer in red and colorful colors in the mountains, people ride horses, dogs, falcons and servants to chase them everywhere. Unlike autumn hunting, this is completely an entertainment and a celebration ending (rather than hunting dangerous prey), so most people have a variety of weapons. Many hunters even carry lassoes. Because if they can catch prey alive, the lucky one can boast about their superb hunting level, as a capital for future gatherings or chatting.

So, although the audience was watching the horse gun competition, a large number of them had changed their clothes. Some people gathered together somewhere to discuss the preparations and strategies to take for hunting in the afternoon.

Ashu Rufate is now able to appreciate the Mazing Guns performance with a very relaxed mood. However, in his opinion, this kind of performance competition is a bit boring. Although there are many techniques in it, it is ultimately sports and performance.

"Hey, young man." Ashurufat turned his head and saw Baron Raoul. The old man was wearing a hunting suit - a leather jacket and trousers, a dagger around his waist, and several servants around him carried crossbows, muskets and bows, and a few spears. In fact, muskets and crossbows are prohibited from being held by ordinary people, but as the saying goes, the city of Brassian is rich in hunting tradition. In such a place, which gentry and nobleman did not hide some of these weapons suitable for hunting at home?

"Baron." Ashu Rufate said hello to the other party.

"You performed great yesterday." The Baron smiled with congratulations. "Good horses and riding skills are good. You know, our Spring Jockey Club champion has been monopolized by outsiders for many years."

Ashu Rufate could only express his gratitude politely.

"Do you want to come with me in the afternoon?" the Baron took the initiative to invite. "Go to hunt together?" he said with a smile. "Actually, the luck factor in this hunt is far greater than the technology. But with the company of a lucky person like you, maybe I, the old man, can also take the lead."

Ashu Rufate already knew the specific situation of this hunt. In fact, this hunting is similar to a "treasure hunting adventure". A limited number of wild beasts will be chased by hundreds or thousands of people, and 99% of them have no chance to use their hunting weapons at all.

However, since the local celebrity, Baron Raoul, took the initiative to show his kindness to him, Ashu Rufate also felt that there was no need to refuse.

"Then, I will wait for you here after lunch..." the Baron said enthusiastically. "Wait, why not let's have lunch together, your fiancée will come together. Speaking of which, this is a good opportunity for me. The Queen of Love and Beauty is going to have lunch with me today."

During these three days of the Jockey Club, most people did not have time to go home for dinner. Usually, servants brought the meals or simply brought their own dry food.

Ashu Rufate did not reject this enthusiastic invitation.

The gun competition has almost ended. After a simple award to all the participating knights, a ceremonial officer came to the high place and announced to everyone that the gun competition will end soon. The last activity of this spring ceremony will be held in the afternoon, namely hunting. In previous years, they were riding horses and hunting, but this year it was changed to walking in the mountains and forests.

In this way, at noon, Ashurufat and the two sisters had lunch with Baron Raoul's family.

As mentioned earlier, Baron Raoul is a local famous family, and he is first-class in both identity and property. Moreover, according to a deep-rooted prejudice, Baron Raoul is still a "real noble" and has his own fief (although the squire all consider themselves to be nobles, they still respect these real nobles). So it is a bit flattering to be invited by him.

In addition, his lunch was prepared very richly. Baron Raoul's son and daughter-in-law were not there, only his newly-grown grandson was present. However, the young man was too young, and his mind was attracted by the upcoming hunting (no doubt, this was his first time participating), and spent most of his time fiddling with the hunting weapons.

So during the whole meal, the Baron chatted with Ashu Rufate alone. Their topics ranged from yesterday's horse racing performance to the blessings after this year's festival. In addition, they also talked about various interesting things about this ancient tradition, including the story of someone making a fortune within a year after "winning the prize" in spring hunting. Of course, during the meal, Baron Raoul praised Ashu Rufate well, but cleverly did not mention the matter of Dix.

"...By the way, Baron," Ashu Rufate finally found an opportunity after talking for a long time. "I mean, I mean, are there any ancient legends of treasures around the city of Brassian?"

"Ancient treasure?" The Baron thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed. "Young man, don't you want to go hunting for treasures, right?"

"If I can get some hunting in the afternoon, I really plan to try my luck," Ash Rufate replied. "It would be a pity to have such good luck, not to use it."

"Haha, that's great." The Baron laughed. "It's a pity that our place is really a small place, and there is no such legend at all. There is not even a legend that is slightly closer. There is nothing in the forest here except beasts. If you really plan to use this method to detect your luck, I suggest you go to the northwest border to try it."

"Sure enough...thing is not that simple..." Ashu Rufate said to himself in a voice that he could only hear.

While speaking, a loud horn sound came from afar.

"Oh, the hunting has begun," said the Baron. "Let's go. As for your fiancées, let's wait for good news here. This is a man's exercise."

Only then did Ashu Rufat realize that during the meal just now, the two sisters were very well-behaved, and Xingjian was still very intimate to him. Even Xingke was not as cold as before.

A little while later, Ashu Rufate carried his spear and entered the selected hunting ground together.

This hunting ground is actually a whole forest nearby. The place is really big, even if even a hundred thousand troops are unable to check this place, the hunters of such a thousand numbers don’t even have a sound. From this point of view, the luck required to find prey in this forest within half a day is not a little bit. Although the prey is covered with red color for the hunters to find it, it is normal to be unable to find it. At least for a long time, they haven’t even touched a beast hair.

From time to time, you can hear the gunshots of muskets, reminding all contestants of the progress of the competition. However, these gunshots are mainly to scare prey and make it easier to find, and they are not really targeted. As mentioned earlier, hunters’ first option is to capture prey alive, and they will only choose to kill prey if they cannot be captured alive.

Baron Raoul was obviously a veteran. He calmly led the team forward and separated the team by a certain distance to expand the reconnaissance range. However, his grandson, the young man, was a little impatient. He held his musket from time to time and rushed to the first place in the team.

The forests are actually quite complicated, and they quickly enter the dense forests. These trees are evergreen trees, so they can no longer see other hunter teams. But this is nothing, because everyone knows that there are no dangerous animals in this forest, and there are not even large animals, so some prey is needed to be put in for hunters to hunt. It is easier to hunt together into a team of multiple people, but it doesn't matter if you actually act alone.

Suddenly, Ashu Rufate heard footsteps coming from behind. Then he saw a stranger dressed in a civilian appeared from behind.

"Mr. Ashu Rufate?" the man shouted from a distance.

"I'm here." Ashu Rufat replied, looking at the stranger.

"Mr. Eshurufat," the stranger came to him, "Mr. Eo and Katyuya have something urgent to come to you."

"Oh, urgent matter? What urgent matter?"

"It is said that it is the matter of the Sheriff, and it seems to be the inheritance right or something. In short, Miss Kaqiuya said that this matter is urgent and you will be able to go there immediately."

"You go over." Baron Raoul was right there, hearing the strange messenger's words clearly. "After all, this is just entertainment, and it's more important to do the business."

"Sorry, Lord Baron," said Ashurufate. He handed the spear in his hand to a servant on the side and left with the messenger.
