What made the head of the Public Security Department even more troublesome was that many of these troublemakers were not ordinary ordinary people, and some of them had backgrounds, which made the head of the Public Security Department a little headache and embarrassed.
Not all warriors are down-and-out poor!
In fact, these days, there are a lot of contestants, and even some of them have a lot of background!
This is mainly because of what Du Wei did!
As the dignified grand duke of the empire, general of the empire, and minister in charge of the Northwest Military and Political Affairs, Du Wei has signed up for the competition... Such behavior not only aroused lively topics, but even aroused the interest of some officials and aristocrats!
As the children of nobles, most of these people have some "knight" titles. Of course, some of them were bought, and it is not ruled out that some of them are indeed a little real.
At the beginning, everyone regarded this event as a bustle... But even the distinguished Grand Duke Tulip participated in the competition! Then why don't I go and play together!
As for the aristocratic status... Even Duke Tulip doesn't care, so what do we care about!
What's more, some people participated in the competition with all other purposes, such as: taking the opportunity to make friends with the Duke. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Participate in the same game together, maybe you will have the opportunity to make friends with the most popular nobleman in the empire!
As a result, many dudes from aristocratic families in the imperial capital signed up one after another.
And many children of local nobles from other places also came to catch up with the excitement.
What makes the Public Security Department even more troublesome is... there are still many guys who came to the imperial capital to compete, and they are simply lawless guys!
For example, warriors from some mercenary regiments from the north!
It has only been two years since the legalization of the mercenary group, and these guys who are mercenaries. I have been engaged in illegal smuggling for many years! They are not afraid when facing the officers and soldiers! Drinking and fighting to make trouble is even more commonplace!
Some mercenary groups even sent a dozen or even dozens of people to the imperial capital to participate collectively!
For most people. There is no need to think about the champion... Everyone knows what they are. Most of them went for the reward of "Top 50"!
Even if you can't win the championship, it should be possible to mix up a place in the top fifty!
In things like martial arts competitions, it doesn't depend on who has the highest knight level to win! After all, many so-called high-level knights are bought with money! God knows whether the other party is a bone or a pustule!
Moreover, martial arts competitions depend on courage, the right time and place, and even luck! Still play on the spot! Although many people practice martial arts well on weekdays. But when it comes to fighting with real knives and guns, your legs are weak!
And these mercenaries are all veterans! When I was doing smuggling in the early years, I had adventures in the frozen forest! I've seen blood, I've killed people!
No matter how bad it is... I still have a glimmer of hope: Maybe my opponent has diarrhea on the day of the game!
In short, there is still hope!
and. As long as you get into the top 50, the rewards are really exciting!
Everyone has a set of silver armor and weapons, and a reward of 10,000 gold coins!
Ten thousand gold coins ah "Miscellaneous weeds bran rank dead here, ten thousand gold coins is enough to eat and drink for most of my life!" !
You can also join the "Knights of Roland's Sword". Although the knight order is already empty, it looks like it is going to be rebuilt now! Joining that knight order can also have a stable income...
Why not do it? !
Relying on this excitement. The industry under Du Wei made another windfall!
Little Zack, a black-hearted businessman, had people rush to make a batch of "high-end weapons". Those armors inlaid with various gold rims and precious stones looked gorgeous and dignified, and the bright and eye-catching swords also had Du Wei personally Design the pattern of the elves! There are also shields with beautiful patterns carved by famous painters in the imperial capital...
Putting on such a set of equipment, let alone doing it, just standing there is enough to make the girls in the audience scream!
How much do you think such a set of equipment can sell for
A thousand gold coins? That's the cost! Let alone five thousand gold coins! ! You don't even want to get the stock, you have to pre-order! ! Because now the workshop of the Tulip family has been working day and night at full capacity to rush production!
You have to understand the thoughts of those noble children; they will definitely not be willing to wear the same black iron armor as those ordinary mud-legged warriors. Take the same ugly long sword!
In their opinion, if a sword is not inlaid with a few gems on the hilt - can it still be called a "sword"? !
And Du Wei. This black-hearted backstage boss. It is shameless to give such a set of armor an extremely shameless name "Holy Knight Armor"! !
listen! Paladin armor! It means that such a gorgeous and beautiful armor is prepared for the paladins! Then after I put it on, how can I make Qiyu more dignified!
What is it called? decent! !
The "Paladin Armor" that Du Wei made was pre-ordered 500 sets in one go—of course. Not all the people who made the reservations were contestants, but more of them were sons of aristocrats who used to show their prestige and put on a show.
For a while, the purpose of this martial arts tournament to promote the martial arts of the empire was not achieved. Instead, there was a wave of collecting gorgeous weapons and armor equipment in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital... All weapons don’t need to be sharp or practical. The more gorgeous the better!
Anyway, when these people bought it back, they didn't expect to wear it to go to war. They just wanted to put on a show and attract the admiring eyes and screams of some young girls.
For a time, in the aristocratic circle of the empire, on many banquet occasions, some young nobles did not like to wear those traditional gorgeous costumes, but many people liked to wear military uniforms and full armor to attend dinner parties!
Of course... In order to take care of the physical strength of these young nobles who have been drenched in alcohol - because you can't expect these people to be able to dance around wearing a set of armor weighing tens of kilograms, right? For most nobles, if they put on a set of real armor, let alone walking, it would be a miracle to be able to stand without falling down!
So... Du Wei's "cutting corners" is simply outrageous!
Have you ever heard of a suit of armor that weighs only a dozen kilograms
have! Du Wei did it!
Because of this kind of armor, let alone a sword... a tree stick? no no no! No need for sticks!
In Du Wei's view, the only use of this kind of armor is: it looks good!
As for the ability to defend...
Du Wei remembered something from his previous life: that kind of can after drinking all the drinks in it! You can flatten it with a squeeze...
The unscrupulous businessman Du Wei laughed immeasurably when he saw the property report sent by little Zach.
Then he threw away the account book in his hand, looked at little Zach, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "By the way, I remembered another good thing. The sale of weapons is almost sold out... We started to make this competition." Tickets!"
"Tickets?" Little Zach froze for a moment.
"Yes, tickets!" Du Wei exaggeratedly exclaimed: "God, you don't think that such an important "national level" game can be watched by people for free!"
Little Zach saw the evil look in the boss's eyes, and secretly praised in his heart: It's really despicable. ∷ He also looked excited: "You mean, is it like watching an opera? Selling tickets to watch a tournament game?"
"That's right! That's it." Du Wei laughed.
"But... what about the venue?" Little Zach quickly thought of a key question: "The largest opera house in the imperial capital, the stage is too small for things like martial arts competitions."
Du Wei thought about it quickly, and suddenly smiled: "What do you think of the headquarters of the Knights Association?"
The headquarters of the Knights Association is a courtyard-like building... Overall, it looks similar to the kind of stadium Du Wei saw in his previous life. And the flat land in the middle is as big as two football fields, and it is surrounded by three-story high-rise buildings! Just modify it a bit...
Du Wei has already figured it out, when the time comes, the tickets will be divided into three classes! The first-class civilian ticket can only be seen on the ground floor of the first floor! This kind of ticket is the most! Because the square in the middle is as big as two football fields, it is enough to make the arena half the size of a football field in the middle! The other vacant places can be used to sell tickets!
The second-class tickets are more expensive, and you can watch them on the second floor, condescending, and you can see them more clearly, so the price is naturally higher!
As for the third floor... That's the VIP box! The price, of course it can't be cheap, VIP box, a status symbol! Those wealthy nobles are naturally willing to pay for it! When the time comes, I will sit on the third floor with Prince Chen, and the other big nobles will obediently spend their money and come to join in the fun to watch the game!
Do the math, from the preliminaries to the group stage, then the knockout rounds, and finally the finals... so many games, how much money can you make? After finishing speaking, little Zach's eyes were already full of greedy light!
"Boss..." Little Zach swallowed hard, then looked at Du Wei eagerly: "Can I say a word of sincere praise to you?"
"Uh... let's talk."
Little Zac's eyes were extremely sincere. He looked at Du Wei with an expression of admiration on his face: "Boss, if you are more black-hearted and despicable... I am afraid that no one in the whole continent can compare to you!" Cheers: "Boss, you are so despicable! So shameless!"
Du Wei "囧" for a moment, then patted little Zach on the shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, you're not Gregory, and I'm not that fat Roger...but I accept your compliment."
