Arthur stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, looking nonchalant.
Just as Scarlett was about to lift her skirt and go on stage, the elf spoke.
He looked at Scarlett's petite and delicate appearance, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, a trace of disgust appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "I don't want to bully children, nor do I want to bully weak women."
When Scarlett heard the word "child", she subconsciously looked down at her figure. She suddenly felt bad and her lips pouted.
Chris also widened her eyes and looked at the elf in astonishment. Especially when she heard him say "weak woman" and looked at her, she suddenly became furious: "Weak woman? Are you referring to me?"
The elf seemed not to hear and continued doing its own thing.
His finger passed over Scarlett and Chris, and pointed directly at Arthur, who was standing behind them and eating happily, and shouted arrogantly: "Hey, the one hiding behind the woman, come up!"
When Arthur heard the shout, he was stunned at first. He was still holding a half-eaten skewer of meat in his hand. He looked around blankly, as if he couldn't believe that the elf was calling him.
Seeing Arthur like this, the elf felt even more contemptuous and raised his voice impatiently: "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, why are you still looking?"
Arthur pointed at himself and confirmed again: "Are you talking about me?"
"Yes, it's you. Who else could it be but you?" the elf repeated impatiently, his tone full of arrogance and disdain.
Scarlett and Chris looked at each other with shock in their eyes. This guy is really brave. He actually dares to challenge Arthur. Isn't this overestimating his own abilities?
Arthur sighed helplessly, put down the skewer of meat in his hand, took out a silk scarf from his arms, wiped his hands slowly, then put his hand on the hilt of the sword, took steady steps, and slowly walked onto the ring.
Alicia was sitting in the audience, her eyes fixed on Arthur.
Seeing how handsome he was, she couldn't help but be surprised: I didn't expect that there are so many handsome guys in the human race. Merlin is one thing, but here comes another one.
However, looking at the way this human was hiding behind the woman to avoid the challenge just now, it seems that he is just a useless vase. How capable can he be?
Arthur stood on the ring and looked up at Merlin.
Merlin understood what he meant and gave him a look without any expression, which clearly meant that he should relax, not win too quickly, and not make things too awkward.
Arthur saw Merlin's eye signal and seemed to understand something. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he made an OK gesture. He thought to himself: Well, the president should let me teach this ignorant elf a lesson, right?
On the ring, Arthur was about to reveal his identity, but the elf on the other side took the lead and said even more arrogantly: "Weakling hiding behind a woman, I don't want to know your name. Anyway, no one cares about a loser."
As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and assumed an attacking stance, as if he was already sure of victory.
Seeing this, Arthur was not angry. He bowed slightly with great dignity, drew out his sword, and gracefully saluted the elf to show that he was ready.
As the sword was unsheathed, a cold light shone everywhere, and runes flickered faintly on the sword body. It was obviously not an ordinary item. Seeing this, the people in the audience couldn't help but let out a low cry...
At this time, many guests present were whispering to each other and had already recognized Arthur's identity.
After all, the third prince of the Dawn Empire, a man favored by the gods, is extremely famous on the continent, and his legendary story has spread everywhere like wildfire.
"Look, this is Arthur Pendragon, the third prince of the Dawn Empire! I heard that when he was born, the sky was full of rosy clouds, and the light of gods penetrated through the clouds and fell directly on his cradle. He is truly blessed by God." A noble guest in gorgeous brocade robes was shaking an exquisite crystal glass in his hand. The wine in it reflected colorful light under the light. He squinted his eyes slightly and said with emotion.
"That's right! I heard that he has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. Whether it is studying magic or practicing martial arts, he is far beyond ordinary people. He can be called a genius! Now he is making a name for himself in the Arcane Academy. His future is limitless." An old man next to him stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, his eyes full of admiration.
Some people also turned their eyes to the arena and talked about the students of World Tree Academy: "This student of World Tree Academy is really amazing. He actually dared to speak to His Majesty Arthur in this way. He must be very confident and powerful! However, he dared to provoke someone favored by the gods. This is too bold."
"Yes, but it's normal for powerful people to be a little arrogant. After all, the World Tree Academy is the elite academy of the elves. It was established longer than the Arcane Academy and has cultivated many outstanding talents. Maybe this elf boy is also a god-favored one."
His words showed both admiration for the elf student and a hint of anticipation for a good show.
Alicia sat aside, listening to the discussions of the guests. She didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing it many times, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she realized something was wrong.
"Arthur? Why does this name sound so familiar?" She frowned and thought to herself.
Suddenly, Alicia's face changed suddenly, and a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind. She widened her eyes and said in a lost voice: "Arthur? Could it be that Arthur?"
She turned her head sharply and looked at Merlin, anxiously asking about the identity of Arthur on the ring: "Sir Merlin, who is Arthur on the ring?"
Merlin looked at Alicia with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Hey, Miss Alicia, don't you know him? He is the third prince of the Dawn Empire, Arthur Pendragon!"
Merlin's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in Alicia's ears.
"Arthur Pendragon!" When Alicia heard this name, her face turned pale as paper.
Although she had never seen Arthur in person, she had heard this famous name countless times.
The legend goes that the man who was blessed by the gods since birth, when he was born, not only did the gods of the human race bestow auspicious signs, but even the sun god and star gods of the elves made an exception and gave him blessings. There is no other person in the entire continent who has such an honor.
"What kind of fight is this!" Alicia felt dizzy, and the arrogant words said by the students of World Tree Academy on the ring kept echoing in her mind. Her face was hot and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, she already knew in her heart that she was going to lose this competition miserably.
Just as Alicia was panicking, the battle had already begun on the ring.
