"The people from the Public Security Department, um... their uniforms look much better than before." Regnar lowered his voice and said to Kordak and Vera. Although the uniforms had changed, Regnar still recognized them at a glance. The badge hanging on the chest of the middle-aged man is very obvious. It is the badge of the Merindl Public Security Department.
"What should I do?" Vera asked. It was her first time coming to the Chino Continent, and she was not very familiar with the empire's civilization and various laws, so she knew it was better to listen to Regnar at this time.
"I'll negotiate." Regnar whispered, then he raised his head and smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Sir, are you from the Public Security Department?"
"Sir, I can't talk about that. I'm just a small patrolman of the Public Security Department." The middle-aged man spoke tepidly, and he didn't have much arrogance: "Are the three of you from out of town?"
"Oh? Why do you say that, sir?" Regnar asked.
"Recently, many out-of-towners have come to sign up for the martial arts competition. Judging from the outfits of the three of them, they must all be warriors with some strength. That's why I guessed this." The patrolman also smiled, but then his tone became a little colder. Fen: "But why did they come here? They even had conflicts with people from the Wind Mansion?"
"Please forgive me, we are definitely not here to cause trouble." Regnar bowed to apologize, and then said: "I came here to look for someone, but because I was too anxious, I may have acted out of line just now. I think the people from the Wind Mansion can also testify to this matter, and I hope you can understand clearly."
As Regnar spoke, he quietly approached the patrolman and put a gold coin into his hand.
The patrolman was very happy when he got the gold coin. He saw that these three people were extraordinary in strength, so when he came here, he didn't even think about making things difficult for them. And now this half-grown young man is so generous, which naturally makes the patrolman smile.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't pursue it any further." The patrolman pinched the gold coin and then quietly put it into his pocket.
"Thank you, sir." Regnar called the patrolman in high spirits. Of course, this kid with such a sweet mouth naturally wanted something from him, so Regnar then asked: "By the way, I wonder if I can ask you something, sir?" matter?"
"What's the matter? Tell me." After the patrolman collected the money, he naturally became more enthusiastic about the three people.
"I am somewhat interested in the tournament. I wonder if you can explain it to us in detail." Regnar asked.
"Of course." The patrolman nodded. Then he spent about five minutes explaining the events of the tournament to the three of them.
The war between the Hawke Empire and the Stoke Empire has entered a stalemate, but there is no doubt that the current situation in the southern battlefield is not optimistic. In the early stages of the war, the Hawke Empire had great morale and had gained a huge advantage on the battlefield. They even fought all the way into the Stoke Empire and reached near the provincial capital of a province north of Stoke.
But in the past year, the Stoke Empire launched a strong counterattack. The Hawke Empire's defense quickly collapsed under Stoker's rapid offensive. Stoker not only regained his lost territory, but also pressed forward step by step. Now he has almost pressed the battlefield into the Hawke Empire.
The successive defeats not only made the morale of the front line extremely low, but also caused a negative sentiment to spread among the people of the Hawke Empire. If it is allowed to develop, senior officials are worried that the situation will continue to deteriorate and even get out of hand.
Therefore, Emperor Larvin decided to hold a big competition in the Hawke Empire. Firstly, it would boost the momentum of the empire by showing off its military force. Secondly, Emperor Larvin also wanted to recruit some talented people through this competition. The addition of these new blood must also have a certain impact on the battlefield situation of the empire. .
The competition is divided into two levels: low-level and mid-level. Adventurers of any profession from level one to level seven can sign up for the low-level competition, while adventurers of any profession from level eight to fourteen can sign up for the mid-level competition.
As for high-level warriors... there are probably only about a hundred high-level warriors in the entire empire, and there are even fewer high-level mages. These strong men who have entered the high-level field are rare resources of the empire. They have probably been conquered by the Hawke Empire with a lot of money, so there is no need for high-level competitions.
In addition to those adventurers who are not loyal to any force, the Hawke Empire also selected several representatives from the army, city defense team, palace mage guards, and palace guards to participate in this competition.
In addition, there is an additional restriction on martial arts competition, and that is age. The age limit for low-level competitions is under twenty years old, while for mid-level competitions it is fifty years old.
The purpose of the Hawke Empire in doing this is obvious. The purpose of low-level competitions is to select talented young talents, so they deliberately lowered their age. If a person is still wandering around in a low-level field when he is thirty or forty years old, then this kind of person has no future no matter how strong he is in the low-level field. Low level, after all, it is low level!
The middle level is different. It can be said that the high-level middle level already belongs to the upper-level force of this world. As long as such people are not too old, they will be very useful to the Hawke Empire. Therefore, they raised the age limit for mid-level to fifty years old, which gave many middle-aged mid-level experts a chance to show their strength.
After hearing this, Regnar thought about it silently in his mind, then thanked the patrolman and left with Kordak and others.
…
"What are you going to do next?" Kordak asked after returning to the hotel: "Continue to find ways to find Annie?"
Regnar thought for a moment and then said, "Of course I'll look for it."
"So you are going to participate in the martial arts competition?" Kordak guessed Regner's thoughts.
"Yes." Regnar nodded. The martial arts competition will be held in half a month. It's still too late to register, although this decision is a bit hasty. But if he wants to find Annelotte, he has no choice but to participate in the competition. Although there are many servants in Malolite's house, judging from the current situation, they don't know where Annelotte has gone, and Regnar can't expect to wait and wait for Annelotte to die. The only way is to participate in the martial arts tournament and try your luck there.
Regnar was extremely convinced that with Annelotte's strength, she would definitely shine in this competition. Therefore, as long as she competes, it shouldn't be difficult to find her.
Kordak grinned, he and Vera looked at each other, and then said: "Okay, we will fight with you."
"Ah?" Regnar was stunned.
Kordak shrugged and said: "Anyway, such a thing is rare. Vera and I have nothing to do in the past two days anyway. We played two games in the past just to stretch our muscles. I heard that the bonus is very attractive. Yes, even the top thirty-two will each receive a reward of one thousand gold coins."
"Sister Vera, do you think so too?" Regna turned to look at Vera.
Wei stretched her waist, exposing her perfect curves. She smiled and said, "Yes, sister hasn't touched her hands in several days. She has already had time to do something."
"Okay, let's sign up this afternoon!" Regnar also made a decision.
