Bella felt a little distressed and wanted to appease her immediately.
โLady Bella, the qualifying match is about to begin. Are you there? If you can hear me, please go to the arena immediately.โ ๐ณ๐ฏ๐e๐e๐๐ฏ๐ฮฝ๐l.๐o๐ข
From outside of the locker room came the voice of the Knightโs Union staff. Bella had been in the locker room for a long time. Martin was a little anxious and afraid of any changes.
โLooks like Iโll have to leave for a bit. Wait here! By the way, Iโve taken away all of your clothes. If you donโt want others to see you naked, wait here till I get back!โ
Bella kissed Aurora and Daphne on their cheek and left the two blushing girls in the locker room. Before leaving, Bella didnโt hesitate to place her precious invisibility cloak on the changing room door, so that even if someone came in, they wouldnโt see this particular changing room.
After hearing the sound of the door being locked, Aurora and Daphne didnโt dare to struggle. If Bella had taken away all their clothes, it would still be perilous for them to escape even if they managed to break free. At present, they only assumed that this was all a wicked prank and that Bella wouldnโt do anything to them. f๐ฏee๐ธ๐ฆ๐๐oัต๐l.c๐๐
Olsylvia City, the First Arena in the Knightโs Union branch.
This arena was similar to the gladiator arena of ancient Rome. There were only a few people in the audience surrounding the stage field. It was a private match. Only Martin, the person in charge from the Knightโs Union, his trusted aides, as well as Dragon Knight Natasha, Dragon Knight Lisha, and Bellaโs knightโs attendant, Shirley were present.
This place was a paradise for knights to compete on horseback because it wasnโt a life-and-death battle. The knights participating in the qualifying match were required to use the training pikes used during the events instead of real ones. These pikes were made of wood and had blunt pike heads, which couldnโt kill anyone.
Aside from having to wear the standard knightโs heavy armor, there werenโt any other requirements. They could even wear the attire of the God Race from head to toe if they wanted to. They werenโt required to use a knightโs shield either. The โMoses Warhorseโ was exclusively used for the match and provided by the Knightโs Union.
Moses Warhorses were raised in the knightโs country. It was Octavia Empireโs best horse breed and one of the three standard components of the knights of Octavia Empire. The other two were the โDuke Pikeโ and the โCecil Shield.โ
This time around, the Dragon Knight qualifying match employed wheel battle. When Bella came to the match field, she looked at the battle scheme. The nine opponents against Bella were all Holy Knights. Martin was not particularly principled. The bribe she had sent was for nothing. After the match, she would make this scoundrel, who didnโt know the rules, spit out all those precious gems!
There were two places on the opponent table that had traces of being modified. Bella could vaguely recognize the names of Aurora and Daphne from the altered words. Fortunately, Bella was lucky and โkilledโ the Dusk Knight and the Thunder Knight in advance. If Bella were to fight against them, she would be a bit reluctant to go all out.
From the refereeโs seat, Martin looked with a sullen expression at Bella. Bella was riding a snow-white horse and wearing Dusk Knight Daphneโs armor, โDarkness Assault Suitโ โ a full set of dark armor with strange decorative patterns carved on it. The visual impact alone was very intimidating.
In Bellaโs left hand was Thunder Knight Auroraโs shield, โLight of Thunderโ โ a dark blue shield with lightning bolts carved on the surface. It was a Holy Weapon ranked equipment, and was said to be able to reflect lightning magic attacks.
โDamn it, where the hell did Aurora and Daphne disappear? The two of them came this morning. Now, theyโre gone, but all their equipment is here. Who can tell me whatโs going on?โ
Martin planned to embezzle the precious gems that Bella had sent but not do anything. What a joke! If Dragon Knight qualifications could be sold, the people in the Knightโs Union headquarters would be the first to get rich. How could the people in the branches have the chance to intervene?
Although Bella had a letter of introduction from the Dragon Princess, her Holy Knight status was fake. Martin didnโt know that Bella was the deceased Princess Felia reported on the data. He was afraid that Bellaโs false Holy Knight identity would be exposed when she went to the Octavia Empire to verify her Dragon Knight identity.
At that time, Bella, as an aristocrat, would have a way out. The unlucky one would be Martin himself. He initially thought that Bella wanted to buy a Holy Knight identity for fun. He never expected that her goal was Dragon Knight. He tried to refuse but couldnโt resist the bribe of those precious gems. Compelled by circumstances, Martin had to make such a move to block Bellaโs Dragon Knight application in the arena.
In the audience, Shirley looked at Bella curiously. She didnโt know why Bella was wearing someone elseโs armor. Dragon Knight Lisha and Dragon Knight Natasha had a subtle expression on their faces. They recognized that Bella was wearing the knight armor of Daphne and Aurora.
From what Lisha and Natasha knew, never mind Aurora, Daphne, the cold knight, would never lend her armor to someone else. Where did Bella get their armor and shield from? How that came about was suspicious. She couldnโt have been up to no good and bullied girls again, could she?
It was a one-on-one match between knights, with the two knights standing at a distance from each other. Then, the two sides charged towards each other, face to face. The knight who fell off their horse after being hit by the wooden pike would be the loser. If it were a draw, the two sides would exchange their starting positions and try again until one side was thrown off their horse.
At present, the highest level of participation in this match was restricted to Holy Knights. The Dragon Knightโs wyvern mounts were too large. If they competed in this manner, the venue was not large enough to accommodate it. Even the headquarters of the Knightโs Union couldnโt house this form of Dragon Knight battles.
Bellaโs first opponent was Holy Knight Pico. Before the hapless fellow could react, Bella had sent him flying into the sky instead of his horse. Bella didnโt even need a pike. She used Auroraโs shield, โLight of Thunderโ to launch the attack.
Martinโs expression changed when he saw that Bella had sent three Holy Knights flying, one after another. This female knight had the strength of a Holy Knight and perhaps even a Dragon Knight. To be able to send three Holy Knights flying in a row without any change in her expression meant that her strength had reached the standard of a high order Holy Knight.
โSomeone, please invite Lord Paul and tell him that I have a favor to ask.โ
Although the Knightโs Union had regulations that stated that Dragon Knights couldnโt take part in such matches if a Dragon Knight didnโt summon his wyvern mount, who could tell that he was a Dragon Knight? Just for those precious gems, Martin planned to use his trump card.
Paul was a quasi-Dragon Knight because he hadnโt yet found a suitable wyvern mount. He had been acting as the underground chief of this Knightโs Union branch. He had many private transactions with Martin, who was in charge.
After winning seven consecutive matches, Bella met quasi-Dragon Knight Paul, her first strong opponent in this arena match. The middle-aged knight was wearing the Dragon Knightโs standard armor. Looking at the dragon patterns on the armor, Bella wanted to complain. Didnโt they say that Dragon Knight couldnโt take part in this match?!
In the audience, Natasha and Lisha seemed to have discovered something. Lisha frowned. After a brief exchange with Natasha, she quietly left the audience section and went out. Although Lisha was the princess of Octavia Empire, she was the kind with no real power and had little control over Martin, so Lisha planned to look for someone to help.
