Chapter 301
“Ah.
Ming Hu could see why the knights had been posted.
“No wonder hostilities are popping up.
Nothing happened as a result, but Baron Saffron’s attack crossed the line. The knights came up to stop the duel.
“Yes, that’s fine.”
Ming Hu smiled and nodded, answering the knight.
“Ah…yes.”
The knight who had asked the question shook his head in disbelief at Ming Hu’s answer. Then the knights who had come up went back down to the bottom of the arena. Of course, not all of them went down. One knight refused to descend and remained on the field.
“Ah, the progress article.
The remaining knight was the one who had been dueling.
Dada!
The announcer rushed to the center of the arena, glanced at Ming Hu in bewilderment, then turned to the front and shouted, “Ming Hu!
“The quarterfinalist is Count Ming Hu of the Helioca Empire!!”
[You have won the dueling competition].
[Gains 100,000 prestige].
[You’re in the quarterfinals].
[Gains only 200k prestige].
[Increased rewards for the quest “For the Honor of the Empire”].
[The royalty and nobility of each country were interested in you].
As the article’s rant ended, a slew of messages popped up.
“…Interested?
As Ming Hu looked at the messages, he couldn’t help but frown for a moment when he saw the last one.
“Interested?
Interest from royalty and nobility, the message clearly stated that royalty and nobility had become interested. In a way, that can be a good thing, because you’ve made yourself known to royalty and nobility.
