"Puff!"
Steve's body twitched when he fell to the ground. The battle ring was so high that Steve's blood was one meter high.
Castellan Will's face changed. He immediately asked someone to check Steve's condition and got the answer that Steve was dead. It was not a small matter. After all, the competition would be held soon.
"What..."
Allen stepped forward.
Before the competition started, Allen wanted to kill Steve.
But it was just an instinctive attack.
It could be regarded as manslaughter.
Allen reached out to touch Steve. After all, he had so many talents, and with the help of the system, which might be devoted to the effect on the current situation.
"Ding Dong. The system has detected corpses. Host, shall we start to collect corpse data?"
"Collect!"
"Ding Dong. The data has been collected successfully."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the premium Agility talent."
Before Allen could be happy, the castellan group got angry and Francis also frowned. Although the problem seemed to be solved this time, it also caused more trouble.
"Steve, even if he is wrong, you just need to defeat him in the duel. Why did you kill him? The competition is about to begin. Where can we find the right person?"
As soon as someone spoke, the others immediately expressed their opinions.
"Exactly, Mr. Castellan. What Allen has gone too far. It's obvious that he wants to make you unhappy..."
Francis couldn't help but speak for Allen.
"Before the competition, the two of them have signed a life and death agreement. If someone dies, the other party will not be held accountable."
It was true that the one who won the support of the people won the world.
Castellan had been full of appreciation for Allen. Because of Steve's death, the position of Earth Knight would be vacant in a few days.
After listening to those people's words, he began to have grudge against Allen.
"What should we do now? What should we do with the competition a few days later?"
It was clear that Will was aiming at Allen.
When Allen was about to say something, Kenan stepped forward and said, "The previous thing has been settled. If we really want to punish Allen for the people's suggestion, please postpone it. Now we need a knight. If Allen is punished and our city really wants to win the competition, it's nearly impossible to win."
Seeing that Kenan was so partial to Allen, Will threw the problem to Kenan and asked, "What do you think we should do to solve it?"
"Let me replace Steve."
Will looked at Kenan quietly for a while. Finally, he nodded and asked another question.
"Do you know the gap between your strength and theirs?"
The question was very embarrassing.
After these days' understanding, Allen certainly knew that Kenan's strength was not as good as Steve's. But the current situation could only be like this.
"It's really easy for me to become the breakthrough of the other party. If I don't do it well, I will die..."
The atmosphere at the scene fell into silence. The people who had been criticizing Allen before naturally wanted their own city, and the honor of the city was naturally more important than anything else.
"I can guarantee that we will win."
Hearing Allen's words, Will looked at Allen with scrutiny.
"Don't eat or talk nonsense. Only when you issue a military order can I believe you."
Even if Will was being aggressive, Allen thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.
"I have a request. I can be trained freely, not the same as others."
Everyone went to Egleson to train to improve their abilities faster.
Allen's words were undoubtedly self-depraved.
"I have my own ideas. I can issue a military order."
All the people were in an uproar.
"Allen is so young and simple-minded. How could castellan find such a person to join them?"
"It will be a shame for the whole city."
Will finally chose to believe Allen.
"Just do as you said."
On the way back home, Allen felt a little relaxed.
Allen was a responsible woman. He would keep his word.
He couldn't help but feel happy that an extremely annoying person was finally dead.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Kenan caught up with him and patted him on the shoulder, hoping that Allen wouldn't make things difficult for him.
"Don't worry. I will try my best to win the final victory for our city."
Allen stayed at home for a few days and studied the medicine to improve his strength quickly.
The pot was on fire. Allen put the equipment and plants into the pot bit by bit. After failing many times, he finally refined some blue liquid.
Allen collected the liquid. After all, sometimes it would take some experiments to prove its power.
In addition to the liquid, what Allen needed was magic potions.
The blue liquid he had just refined was an excellent strength potion.
"Damn it..."
A few hours later, Allen couldn't help cursing.
The medicinal materials Allen needed were very precious.
"What's wrong? I just came back."
It was Kenan who said this. At Allen's request, Kenan would provide Allen with the materials needed to refine the medicine these days.
"How's your research going?"
"I almost succeeded just now. Damn it! I was wrong for one step and had to start over again."
Each bottle of medicine took more than two hours, which was extremely time-consuming.
During the days when Allen was refining elixirs and thinking hard in his room, rumors kept going around in the city.
"Allen killed Steve under the city gate, which is enough to prove Allen's strength."
"Even if he is powerful, he is just a little stronger than Steve."
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit."
Everyone was talking about it.
But the general meaning was that they believed Allen was a capable man.
"Everyone says so. You are famous now."
Kenan told Allen these words as a joke. Allen smiled and shook his head.
"How's practice going in Egleson recently? Do you think it's not enough for a breakthrough?"
Although he didn't want to show his strength, the competition would be held in a few days. He couldn't put Kenan in danger, so Allen hoped that he would try his best.
"It's rare for you to pay so much attention to me. Can you refine those medicines?"
After all, Allen had promised Will that he would win the competition, which was related to his own life. Kenan didn't think it was not the most important thing.
"I've almost finished the refinement. I'll make some preparations tomorrow, and then I promise that nothing unexpected will happen to us."
Allen also planned to refine some medicine for treatment. Allen didn't tell anyone about the effect of those medicines. Allen only told the cat ear woman about his ability.
"I hope everything will go well then."
Time passed quickly and the day of the competition came.
Those commoners came more often than the day when Steve and Allen fought.
"I guess everyone is here to see the fun,"
"We are going to Egleson later. They can't see us."
The knight in front of them began to discuss. He was very unfriendly to the people in the city.
"If it weren't for the suppression of some people, I would have killed them."
Those who had the ability would definitely have pressure. With their own honor, they would also be inferior to beasts.
Some people began to be afraid of discrimination.
"What are their eyes? Why are they looking at us like this?"
The city was much more secure under Wills rule than anywhere else, the knights were simply superior to the common people, and could not kill the common people at will, but the other territories were different, like the castellan next door, he and his men were known for their brutality, so they didn't pay much attention to the people.
In their eyes, these commoners were just prey to please them.
Allen saw everything.
