Lynn crossed his arms on his chest and asked curiously, "Team competition? I thought all events in the competition were individual competitions."
Maksymilian said seriously.
"Although personal bravery is important, war requires not only the personal bravery of knights, but more importantly, the cooperation of knights."
"Back then, the ancestors of the Toussaint people attacked the elves here several times, but they all ended in failure because the knights only knew how to blindly pursue glory and launched a fanatical charge. As a result, they all fell under the rain of arrows from the elves that blocked the sky."
"Later, the first Duke"Lance Duke"Ludovic strictly prohibited the knights from charging without authorization, required them to learn discipline and cooperation, and improved the military system, so that Toussaint won the current territory."
"A knight should pursue glory, but he should also keep pace with the times and adapt to the rules of war. This is one of the purposes of the Knight's Tournament."
Lynn nodded.
Ancient people were not as knowledgeable as modern people just because of the limitations of the times.
How could he be a fool?
Maksymilian asked curiously.
"Master, if you ask these questions, are you planning to participate in this martial arts competition?"
Lynn denied it as a matter of course. "That's not true, I have no interest in the territory."
Maksymilian admired you from the bottom of his heart. "Your attitude towards material things really makes me admire you."
"Speaking of which, will Sir Maksymilian also participate?"
"Of course, I heard that this year's championship prize is Castel Ravello Vineyard... I have a reason to participate and win."
Then Lynn suddenly remembered.
Maksymilian seems to have mentioned it before.
Castel Ravello Vineyard seems to be the ancestral manor of the Macklin Family where Maksymilian is located.
So, when Lynn asked the other party to teach him how to ride, he swallowed it and turned it into "Come on, I wish you success, Sir".
Since Maksymilian has a reason to win, then Lynn naturally has no choice but to waste other people's time.
Since you can't ask someone you know for help, then just ask someone you don't know for help.
So Lynn thought of another way. He directly approached Fringilla and asked her to help him find a riding teacher who could not participate in competitive competitions.
He knows that Fringilla just gave him Glamarye last time, and he has not thanked him yet...
Now I am asking the other party for help, which seems a bit too shameless.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, if you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about it.
Besides, he wouldn't really go to Fringilla for nothing.
In fact, he had already thought of what to give Fringilla as a return gift.
It's just that he hasn't found the right time yet.
When he is free, Fringilla will be given a corresponding thank you gift.
On Fringilla's side, after hearing Lynn's request, he didn't say anything else and readily agreed.
The next day, I found a man for Lynn who had served as an officer in Ducal Guard. Now he has retired and returned to his field.
The other party has also heard about the deeds Lynn has done since he came to Toussaint, and he himself has no prejudice against demon hunters.
Since the witcher is willing to learn, he is also willing to give everything he has to teach.
So in the next half month.
Both of them were practicing riding skills in the wilderness outside Beauclair city.
After half a month of hard practice, Lynn's efforts paid off.
"New skill: Riding (entry level)"
Without any hesitation, he invested all his attribute points.
"Attribute points:8→0"
"Riding (Beginner) → Riding (Master/Extreme)"
The skill levels in the attribute panel took on a new look, and a large number of riding skills and experiences emerged in Lynn's mind.
These contents are not just theoretical knowledge, nor are they meant to be swallowed whole.
Rather, it was as if he had really spent decades on horseback and experienced hundreds or even thousands of extremely dangerous battles.
At the end of the training, Lynn paid the riding teacher a hard fee.
Then it returned Beauclair.
Since the athletic competition is about to be held, Beauclair at this time has an influx of a large number of nobles from all over the world.
This group of people not only came to prove their bravery, but also came for the championship prize.
You know, in the past, championship prizes were usually prizes such as swords and famous horses.
Of course that's not to say it's not good.
But no matter how good the prize is, it can't be greater than the temptation of a fief.
You must know that in this era, even if you are born into a noble family, it does not mean that you will live a luxurious and decadent aristocratic life when you grow up.
If you are unfortunate enough to be the second or third son, you will not be eligible to inherit the noble title and territory.
Therefore, these second and third sons should either establish a good relationship with the eldest son, and after the eldest son inherits the noble title and territory, he can stay to assist and hold some important positions.
But more of the second and third sons were still forced to venture into the vast world outside.
For example, in Ofir on the other side of the sea, there is a mercenary group named Second Sons.
They are all composed of the second sons of nobles who cannot inherit noble titles and territories.
After returning to Beauclair, Lynn first took a shower, then used Glamarye to change his appearance, then put on jet black plate armor, and went to the registration office of the Knight Athletic Conference.
Due to the large number of people coming to participate this time, there was a long queue in front of the registration office.
Lynn waited in line for an hour or two before it was finally his turn.
The secretary is a middle-aged man with thin hair and glasses.
He was sitting behind a table and saw Lynn coming in. He dipped his quill in ink and prepared to fill in the content of Lynn on the parchment.
"Your Excellency, are you here to sign up for the Knights Tournament? Please state your name and family crest."
"My name is Brandon, and I don't have a family crest."
The secretary glanced at Lynn.
But the eyes behind the glasses are not biased at all.
"Commoner origin? Well, it doesn't matter. As long as you can bring your own weapons and horses, even civilians can participate in the knight competition."
The first Duke "Lance Duke" Ludovic, the original intention of establishing the Knights Competition Conference was not only to hope that knights could cooperate with each other and learn to adapt to the rules of the battlefield.
It is also about selecting outstanding talents.
It is said to be a knight's competition, but civilians are not prohibited from participating.
As long as you can prove yourself in the competition, even if you don't win, you still have a chance to be named a knight.
Not to mention anything else, at least during the reign of Duchess Caroberta, many civilians were canonized as knights.
This is why the knights errant of Toussaint always pursue glory, chivalrous spirit and knightly oaths. The people love the duke family and revere the knights.
