King's Landing

King's Landing Second Element Volume 8 Chapter 18 The Youngest Contender

"drive!"

The horse-drawn carriage was speeding down the street, and no one had the guts to stop the horse-drawn carriage from the imperial city.

In this carriage sat only a petite figure, with silver-purple hair, amber eyes, and that perfect look. Yes, he was Ye. In order to pass the third test given by the minister, Was taken to a place outside the imperial city.

The carriage arrived unimpeded at its destination, a large arena in the north of the city.

The arena has been surrounded by fully equipped Imperial Guards.

Seeing the carriage coming, a young man who looked like the captain of the guard came over.

"The arena has been blocked, who are you?"

The driving guard took out a document from his arms and handed it up. As soon as the captain of the guard saw the seal of this document, he leaned on his foot and saluted the guard.

"It's rude, I don't know what the minister has ordered."

The driving guard pointed to the opening of the car.

"The person in the car is arranged by the minister, who will also participate in this competition."

"This……"

Hearing the words of the guards, the captain of the guard suddenly became embarrassed. He didn't want to agree. Since he is a minister, how dare he refuse it, but this competition is a matter of the military. Although the minister is the head of the civil ministers, the military's The matter has always been under the control of General Bud, who is the only person in the entire empire who can sit on an equal footing with the minister.

Although General Bud has never interfered in politics, no one except the emperor in the military can influence his decision, even the minister is no exception. Therefore, the captain of the guard will be embarrassed. After all, the selection of this competition is over. , All the lists have been submitted, but now the minister has sent people over again, which is obviously using private power.

"Asshole, don't you see the dragon seal on the document?"

Seeing the captain of the guard hesitating, the driving guard immediately flicked his whip and screamed.

He doesn't care what happens to this little guard captain, if the minister's affairs are broken, even the king of heaven will die.

After being so frightened, the captain of the guard was about to get angry, but suddenly thought of the content of the guard's words.

Temporarily suppressing his anger, he hurriedly opened the second page of the document. There, an imperial seal representing the supreme power was clearly visible. When the guard saw the imperial seal, he immediately knelt down on one knee in fright.

"Subordinates are clumsy, welcome the emperor's order!"

If the minister's letter is nothing, then after knocking on the emperor's seal, it is the imperial edict.

The captain of the guard was in a cold sweat and scolded himself for his stupidity secretly. The minister was the emperor's confidant. It can be said that he meant what the emperor meant. He was so stupid that he wanted to disobey, and he was really guilty of death.

How could General Budd speak in front of the emperor for his little guard captain?

"Humph!"

The driving guard snorted disdainfully.

In fact, he wanted the captain of the guard to be ignorant of current affairs, so he immediately chopped off his head.

"Get up, this is a secret purpose. It has already been explained above, you just need to bring the people inside."

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

The captain of the guard got up quickly and waited aside with his head down.

The driving escort got out of the car and knocked on the carriage door and said respectfully.

"My lord, the destination is here."

The door opened, and a petite figure with broken silver and purple hair came out of the car.

Wearing a black uniform, he looks less than ten years old, but his perfect little face exudes a heroic spirit that does not fit his age.

The captain of the guard admitted that there were countless people, but he was still deeply shocked.

How could the minister send such a noble young master?

You know, most of the people competing in this competition are three big and five rough men, including soldiers, criminals, boxers, and warriors from the suburbs and countryside of the empire, but no matter where they are from, they are not so young. Participant.

This is not a game, but a real death game. What does it mean that the minister sent this young master?

Just when the captain of the guard was startled, the captain of the guard drank again.

"What are you doing there? How long do you want the adults to wait!"

"Yes, yes! Subordinates understand!"

The awakened captain of the guard nodded hurriedly.

He knew that the idea of ​​the big man above was not something he could guess.

Since the minister had sent the people here, and approved by the emperor, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him.

He only needs to be responsible for bringing people into the venue.

After thinking this way, the captain of the guard stretched out his hand and took the lead to lead the way.

"This way, please."

The boy nodded calmly, and stepped to follow.

The empire respected culture and military, so there were several large arenas in the empire.

The arena built in the north of the city is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. At that time, there was no one on the stand of the arena, only a few people in military uniforms stood proudly on the most central podium. .

On the square of the arena, there were hundreds of people gathered there. Although they looked loose, no one spoke. The whole arena seemed very quiet.

Squeak.

The closed door of the arena suddenly opened, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Especially the soldiers on the rostrum frowned.

In the opening door, two figures appeared, one big and one small. The big one was the captain of the guard, and the small one was a child. Although the beautiful one was a little weird, it seemed that he was less than ten years old.

What does such a kid do in the arena?!

While everyone was puzzled, the captain of the guard ran to the podium quickly, whispered something to the soldier in charge, and also presented a document in his hand.

Hearing the words, the person in charge looked at the documents in his hand again, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his resolute face.

He stared at the child for a long time before reluctantly retracting his gaze, and took the microphone in the hands of the subordinate next to him.

"Well, you have one more competitor. Just now I said that you have a total of 134 contenders here. Now with the new kid, there are a total of 135 people."

"what!?"

As soon as the responsible soldier's voice fell, the entire square exploded.
