Chapter 77 The Last Struggle
The final of the fencing competition was held on the next morning.
Needless to say, what's going on inside the Seven Star Theater, which serves as the main stage.
A considerable number of the civilians gathered outside the theater have not been allowed to leave since yesterday.
The big bear came here again.
Faced with the few coins in his purse, he didn't know how to place his bet.
After all, he was the Earl of Bear Island. After escaping from Westeros, he worked as a mercenary and a slave trader. He had a very accurate view of some things between people.
For example, Big Bear now believes that there is no room for maneuver between Viserys and the Fregar family.
The Frega family has already paid such a huge price in the previous rounds, it is impossible for them to give in in the finals.
And Viserys could not tolerate what the Fregar family had done to him before.
Relatively speaking, Big Bear is still optimistic about the Frega family.
After all, they have been entrenched in Braavos for hundreds of years and their foundation is extraordinary.
Even if Viserys rose quickly, it would only take half a year.
But so far, he has not seen where Viserys's limits are.
He pulled a silver moon from his pocket.
'Fregar on the front, Viserys on the back.'
Use your thumb to flick up the silver coin, and the bright silver coin will reflect dazzling silver light under the sunlight.
Big Bear opened his hands and looked at the front.
...
Compared with his entanglement, Herbo has been very happy.
There is only one rule, and that is to unconditionally bet on Viserys' victory.
Following this, he has won almost four thousand gold dragons.
Almost equal to the income of the past two years!
And these were two years with relatively good harvests!
Herbo kept the principal and asked his men to bet the winnings separately, so as to prevent others from targeting him.
He had already planned that if Viserys won, he would use the money he earned to prepare two good horses for him.
Since you are going to be a mercenary, a good horse is essential.
In the theater.
Compared to the gamblers outside and the ordinary people who just watch the fun.
The people in the theater are all rich people, and their greatest interest is to witness!
Viserys could very well become the first 'double champion' in over a hundred years.
"They say that Targaryens are either crazy or great. This Viserys must be the latter!"
"Yeah, and he doesn't look crazy at all."
There has never been a shortage of Yan's followers among the masses.
"Humph, governing a country and swordsmanship are two different things. In the past hundred years, haven't there been many Targaryens who have fled to the Free Cities?"
"How can that be the same? Viserys is a true Targaryen, and those are just bastards!"
Overall, Viserys' fans still make up the majority.
"The swordsman participating in the finals this time is from the Frega family again. Don't use any despicable means again."
A young man who looked less than twenty years old spoke.
What happened in the last tournament has begun to backfire on the Frega family.
"Don't talk nonsense!" his companion immediately reminded him in a low voice.
"..."
"Look! It's Miss Moony!"
At this moment, someone suddenly saw Faria appear in a box high up.
Some people turned their heads to look.
As the soap sold and Viserys's songs became known, Faria had earned the title of 'the most beautiful courtesan'.
The so-called beauty pageant is not just about who is the prettiest.
Vision is the most important selection criterion.
She 'discovered' the genius of Viserys and promoted soap to Braavos, making it the next specialty of the city.
The contribution is huge.
Although Faria felt that she had not done anything, she still became extremely wealthy.
She waved to the audience below, and then she saw Miss 'Poet'.
She had no intention of competing, she only came to participate to serve as the face of the Anta Lyon family.
So the atmosphere between the two was quite friendly.
As for Miss Nightingale.
Faria found that Gotavi was wearing a veil today and sitting there motionless.
It looks a little strange.
But she didn't pay too much attention to it. The most important thing today was Viserys's competition.
"It's His Majesty the Sea King!"
As the most important competition in the ten-day celebration, of course Frego has to come.
What happened yesterday was not only a big blow to the Frego family, but also stained the celebration itself.
Fortunately, Viserys's three songs made the 'stain' less noticeable.
There must not be any problems in this final.
Ross and Tormo still accompanied him.
"Quillot, have you dealt with the swordsman's issue yesterday?"
Frego asked directly in front of Tormo.
Even among the three major families now, the Frega family is the most powerful.
But he is the King of the Sea, and if he does such a trick in front of him, he will definitely be punished.
"Your Highness, he has been banished from Braavos."
"Well, that's good. Lord Tormo must distinguish these people clearly in the future."
"I will always remember your highness's kindness," Tormo replied with a stern face.
At this time, Ross, who had been silent, joked:
"I see that Lord Quirrell seems to be very interested in this Viserys?"
"I'm old now, and I can't help myself when I see talented young people, which makes adults laugh."
"Sometimes I even think that my apprentices are not very good. It would be great if Viserys could be the chief swordsman for His Highness."
Quiro patted Frego's horse calmly.
Listen!
I plan to let a prince be your guard~
"Haha, this is indeed an interesting idea, but I heard that this Viserys seems to be preparing to join a sellsword group."
"Join the mercenary group?"
Frego nodded. It seemed that this young man was ready to build an army with his own abilities.
Although he is an excellent martial artist, building an army and swordsmanship are two completely different things.
Before him, 'Cold Iron' Ego did create a golden group.
But he stayed in Essos forever.
In his opinion, Viserys is likely to become the next 'Cold Iron'.
As for Tormo, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"You can't just walk away from me after you've gone against me. It's not that easy."
Ross glanced at the two people's reactions and said again:
"This Viserys seems to be very interested in dragon eggs. If you want him to stay, perhaps you can try using dragon eggs."
"Haha, then he must be the most expensive swordsman in the world."
Frego laughed.
Rumor has it that he owns three dragon eggs.
But Aquaman himself has always denied it.
Even the dragon egg that was given as a prize this time was redeemed through the Iron Bank.
As for whether Frego has dragon eggs, only he himself knows.
Soon, with a short horn sound, the final officially began.
The originally noisy crowd all quieted down, and involuntarily focused their attention on the arena that was temporarily converted from the stage.
