The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 76 Knight Selection

The Knight Selection will officially begin at 12:00.

Sunlight streamed onto the training field, illuminating the king's tall and majestic figure. Standing in the center of the field, his voice booming like a bell, he announced important news to the people gathered there.

"Today, we will hold a grand selection of knights here!" The king's passionate words echoed in everyone's ears.

The cheers and applause from the crowd rose and fell, seemingly piercing the clouds. The moment they had long awaited had finally arrived, and everyone was filled with dreams and hopes.

Standing to the side, Qiao Xiao had already planned a secret selection event, but due to the requirements of the plot, she had to make the event public.

But this does not affect her plan; she will secretly support Eric and help him become her knight.

However, the selection process must be brought forward, and we absolutely cannot let Spitz know, or he will be furious.

Just then, Shi Bozi's teacher, Hai Rui, came over and pulled Shi Bozi aside. Hai Rui said earnestly, "You must know, Prince, today is a big day."

Schuberts replied expressionlessly, "I know that."

Harry continued with his familiar refrain: "You should know that becoming a knight requires more than just ability; it also requires..."

Sipoz interrupted him and answered firmly, "Teacher, I will definitely become a knight (because I have my own powerful personal teacher)."

Harry was speechless at Shi Bozi's words. He shook his head helplessly and said sarcastically, "I hope you won't participate in the next knight selection."

After a moment of silence, Spitz turned and left, his steps somewhat hurried.

He was secretly annoyed. Why hadn't he kept up with Qiao Xiao earlier? Now, in this vast sea of ​​people, where was he supposed to find her? As he thought this, he weaved through the crowd, searching for her.

If Hai Rui hadn't stopped him, he definitely wouldn't have lost his way.

Where are you, Fali?

He was extremely anxious but didn't know what to do. Just then, he accidentally bumped into someone.

"What a coincidence, Your Highness." A familiar voice rang out.

Spartz looked up and saw it was To. This guy really thinks he's a princess?

Spoelstra gave a wry smile, really not wanting to deal with this idiot.

Seeing that Princess Spartz was not speaking, Toh assumed she was a mute princess and comforted her, "It's alright. Even if the princess can't speak, I will still love you just the same."

Upon hearing this, Spitz flew into a rage. He drew his sword, pressed it against To's chest, shoved him backward, and roared, "Get out of here!"

To was startled by this sudden turn of events, and when he saw the sword in Spartz's hand, he turned pale with fright.

"What? It's a male voice..." He looked at Spoelstra in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He never imagined that the beautiful and charming "princess" in front of him was actually a man.

He immediately knelt down, kowtowed and admitted his mistake, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm sorry." He kowtowed several times on the ground as he spoke.

Spoelstra was absolutely furious; he simply didn't have time to deal with this imposter servant.

Just then, Kaiya shouted, "The Knight Selection is about to begin!" He continued, "Now, register, future knights!"

Spohr thought to himself, "I'll register first, then I'll go find Fali."

Like the other contestants, he had no special privileges and squeezed into the knight registration area with the crowd.

Meanwhile, the Knights selection process has reached its final stage.

After going through layers of tests, three people successfully passed all the previous tests: Eric, Ann A, and Bern B.

Ann A and Bern B couldn't believe that Eric had actually passed the previous tests.

Eric was stunned by this unexpected surprise; he had never dared to hope that he could one day become the queen's knight again.

Because of his appearance, he has always suffered discrimination, to the point that he was often ineligible even to participate in the knighthood advancement. Most people have long forgotten that it was he who defeated Kaeya back then.

However, his knighthood was later revoked for certain special reasons.

Qiao Xiao was equally surprised by Eric's abilities. She did not give Eric any special treatment; he was able to enter the final selection stage entirely due to his outstanding personal abilities.

Qiao Xiao: "Warriors, it is an honor to meet you all in the final stage. The last stage is the Knights' Duel, and you will decide the order yourselves."

Ann A: "I want to duel with Eric, Your Majesty."

Uncle B: "Me too."

Eric, with his stubble and a rough, unrefined look, stood to the side. He claimed he didn't care and was fine with anything, then laughed loudly a few times for no apparent reason.

Qiao Xiao: "Since both Ann A and Bo B want to compete with Eric, then you two go first. The winner can then duel with the person they want to fight—Eric."

Anne A and Boss B thought to themselves, "That's not what we meant, Your Majesty!"

The two had no choice but to draw their swords, point them at each other, and strike a standard knightly duel pose.

As a solemn oath rang out, the two simultaneously swung their swords, the blades clashing together with a crisp clang.

In this fierce battle, both sides went back and forth, neither giving an inch, and neither had a clear advantage.

Finally, after a fierce battle, AnA gradually gained the upper hand. In a decisive attack, AnA successfully struck his opponent's vital point and won the duel.

“Alright, then we’ll start the duel after the AnA Knights have rested,” Qiao Xiao said.

However, to everyone's surprise, An A refused without hesitation.

He confidently stated that he was fully capable of defeating Eric.

Qiao Xiao: "Are you sure? Once you make this decision, you can't go back on it."

An A nodded solemnly, “I swear by the honor of my knighthood.”

Qiao Xiao shook her head helplessly, sighed softly, and announced, "Then you can begin."

She understood that no matter the outcome of this duel, she would not choose AN A as her knight.

Underestimating one's opponent is a major taboo for knights.

With Qiao Xiao's command, the competition officially began.

However, the match didn't last long. Almost instantly, Eric secured a decisive victory.

After just a few moves, An A's sword was mercilessly knocked away and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

An A stood there dumbfounded, never imagining that he would lose so completely.

His pride and confidence vanished at that moment.

Qiao Xiao: "Congratulations, Knight Eric. I hereby appoint you as my knight—Fari's knight. From now on, you will come to my palace and will no longer need to go to the knight training grounds."

Eric knelt on one knee, reverently accepting Qiao Xiao's bestowal, "I will defend you with my life, my queen."

On the other hand, Spitz successfully added his name to the list of contestants.

This was thanks to the ignorance of the imposter who was unaware that the real king had imposed a ban on Spartz, forbidding him from engaging in any knightly activities.

Next, Spitz needs to wait patiently for the bell of fate to ring—Kaiya's announcement, and for the call to battle against an unknown opponent.

Before this, all the warriors who have been favored by fate and qualified for the competition will be led to a unified camp, which will become their stage to hone their skills and prepare for the future.

The duel begins, and they will step into the arena that witnesses glory and courage.

On the sidelines, the stands were bustling with noise, filled with nobles and celebrities of high status. Among them, the most eye-catching were the King and Queen, who sat side by side on the royal viewing platform.

"Next up is the duel between Spitz and XX!" With Kaeya's resounding announcement, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

With his extraordinary insight, Spitz quickly located Qiao Xiao's position and instinctively smiled at her. Qiao Xiao returned his approving gaze.

Schubert's morale soared. He stood tall and calmly gripped the hilt of his sword, appearing completely at ease.

……

"Sipoz has won!" Kaia's voice resounded through the sky, announcing the victor.

Qiao Xiao stood up and applauded enthusiastically for Shi Bozi. Shi Bozi seemed to have barely exerted his full strength, effortlessly forcing his opponent back.

His abilities were far too weak, a world of difference compared to his mother. However, it was precisely this disparity that fueled his even stronger fighting spirit.

In an instant, Shi Bozi's eyes searched for Qiao Xiao. His previously cold gaze vanished, replaced by tenderness.

Spartz was full of fighting spirit and could easily subdue his opponents. He was truly a very talented person and a born knight. In dealing with opponents, he used their moves to counter their moves.

When facing his last opponent, Sporz's eyes showed a calm and composed demeanor that he tried his best to control.

With a quick flash, two retreats, and three strikes, he swiftly found his rhythm on the field, finally defeating all his opponents and becoming a true knight!

Schubert raised his sword high, flaunting his youthful pride and bright arrogance. The sunlight crowned him "Son of Light," and he was full of vigor. His armor gleamed with a dazzling gold leaf as he celebrated his victory. The shouts and cheers were indiscriminate, and the crowd expressed their pride in the prince in a loud and clear voice.

At this moment, the name "Shared Honor" is born, and the joy and pride are absolutely real.

Thus, the first knight prince was born, and he would also be the first knight king.

After the competition, the King personally bestowed crowns upon them, and the Queen placed knighthoods on their heads.

Qiao Xiao smiled and said to Spitz, "Congratulations, Spitz, you have finally become a knight."

Spoelstra straightened her back and answered with pride, "Yes, Mother, I am so excited."

However, while Qiao Xiao appeared happy on the surface, she was actually secretly planning something else.

She pondered to herself: How can I get Spartz to that side hall? Perhaps it's time to seduce the king and make him my blade...

However, to her surprise, she didn't need to plan anything; that very night, the king summoned Qiao Xiao to his palace.

Daisy asked with a worried look, "Your Majesty, it's so late, what does the King want to do?"

Qiao Xiao calmly replied, "Daisy, don't worry, I can handle it."

Daisy: "What are you talking about? How can your frail body possibly defeat the King? I'll go find Marygard and have her help you."

Daisy left in a hurry, while Qiao Xiao was forced to follow the head maid to the palace.

The head maid's eyes gleamed with cunning, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips as she stared at Qiao Xiao and said, "Queen Fali, please come in and enjoy this wonderful evening."

Qiao Xiao frowned, her face showing confusion and bewilderment, and asked in return, "A wonderful night? With you here, how can it be wonderful?" Her voice carried a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Qiao Xiao straightened her noble and proud posture and stepped into the king's bedroom.

The head maid watched Qiao Xiao enter the room, then sneered, her eyes revealing a sinister and terrifying aura.

Meanwhile, Daisy frantically searched everywhere for Marigold. She walked and called out Marigold's name: "Marigrold! Marigold!"

Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness, and she was on the verge of tears.

Just then, Daisy suddenly noticed the prince emerging from the study, his weary figure looking somewhat helpless. Her heart tightened, and she hurried forward to meet him.

“Your Highness…” Daisy called softly.

Schertz looked up at the anxious Daisy and a sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

"What's wrong, Daisy?" Spitz asked, her voice tinged with unease.

Daisy could no longer contain her grief, tears streaming down her face as she said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, you must save the Queen!"

Upon hearing Daisy's words, Spurgeon's expression changed drastically, her body jolted, and she asked urgently, "What happened? Your Majesty! What happened to Fali? Tell me quickly!"

Daisy took a deep breath and told Spartz what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Spartz was filled with pain and anger, and he decided to go to the king's palace immediately.

"I'm going to find my father right now!" With that, Spitz rushed towards the king's palace, running at a speed he had never achieved before.

Daisy watched as Spartz walked away, silently praying: I hope the Queen will be alright!

In the king's palace, Guan Zheng looked at the beautiful young woman before him with a smile and said, "Hello, my queen."

Qiao Xiao stared at him coldly and asked in an icy tone, "Where's your stooge? Why isn't he by your side?"

Guan seemed unfazed by her coldness and replied, "I told him to leave. How could a mere servant disturb us?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao frowned and said rudely, "Is there anything the King needs? If not, I'll head back now."

After saying that, she turned and left without hesitation.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Guan panicked and shouted, "Queen! How dare you leave!"

Qiao Xiao did not stop walking. She simply turned her back to him and firmly replied, "I am the Queen, not your servant. I will not obey your every command. Please understand this, Your Majesty."
