Ermu

Chapter 1065: Champion

"Look, that's Dawn's Morning Light!" someone shouted from the side of the road.

"Where? Where?"

"The one running in first place!"

With the reminder from a sharp-eyed woman, a commotion rippled through the onlookers.

"It really is him! I thought I'd never see him again since he stopped being a teacher."

"Wow, he looked at me!"

"Fellin Teacher, keep going!"

A handsome, tall man appeared at the end of the field of view. Although he looked quite tired, he kept his pace and firmly held onto the first position. What endeared him to everyone even more was that whenever someone cheered him on, he would try his best to return a smile. When he encountered former students, he would even wave, capturing the hearts of all the supporters with this approachable and gentle demeanor.

All of this was observed by Honey accompanying him.

Fellin Hillert, born into a knightly family, a former Education Department teacher, later transferred to the General Staff Department, with the reputation of Dawn's Morning Light. Hmm... if he wins the championship, what should the headline be?

"Shocking! A Man in Neverwinter Captivates Thousands of Women, What Do You Think?"

"Uh... are you asking me?" Wade, pedaling his bicycle, said breathlessly, "Wouldn't thousands be a bit too many?"

Facing this witch, who was no different from a young girl in appearance and temperament, he dared not show the slightest contempt. As a key figure in the Propaganda Department, her superior was none other than His Majesty the King of Graycastle, who had reached the pinnacle of power at a young age. Moreover, he had heard that she had extremely close ties with Wendy, the head of the Witch Union. If someone treated her like a young girl, they would definitely be the ones to suffer in the end.

Wade, who had been struggling in the lower-level patrol team for several years, would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.

Therefore, when she found him and asked for a ride to watch the entire race up close, he agreed without hesitation. Anyway, when Carter wasn't around, he would help deal with police affairs, such as the team leadership work this time - taking one more person along was just a matter of lifting a hand.

Of course, besides Honey's background, there was another reason for his enthusiasm. If the Security Bureau wanted to achieve results and nip all threats to His Majesty and the Kingdom's safety in the bud, it had to grasp sufficiently detailed intelligence, which was exactly what she excelled at.

Therefore, from whatever aspect he looked at it, befriending this witch was a necessary move.

"Don't worry too much about the details," Honey clicked her tongue. "If you saw this headline at first glance, wouldn't you want to read it right away?"

"I would." Wade replied honestly.

"That's settled then." The young girl whistled cheerfully.

At this moment, a different voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.

"Don't you all think that the man behind Fellin Teacher looks very... good too?" A lady covered her mouth and said.

"You noticed it too? I think he's even more handsome than Dawn's Morning Light." Her words immediately caused a heated discussion among the surrounding people.

"I know him! His Majesty the King's Chief Knight, Sir Carter Lannis! You see the royal emblem on the back of his cloak!"

"So that's how it is, no wonder he's the Chief Knight!"

"But his expression is too cold, it's like we owe him money when he looks at us..."

"Alas, you are all too young, this kind of person is even more charming!"

"Look, he's catching up!"

"Go, Knight Sir!"

Carter Lannis, also born into a knightly family, once belonged to the Royal Capital Knights, and later moved to Border Town with the Fourth Prince, can be said to be one of the oldest founding heroes. He is agile, possesses extraordinary martial power, and it is even rumored among the people that he has the ability to compete with extraordinary witches. He is also the most favored candidate to win the championship.

Honey listened to the messages returned by the birds while recording the race conditions in her notebook.

As Carter continued to accelerate, the distance between the two was gradually shortening, and they were soon about to be side by side.

The cheers also changed from being one-sided to mutually supportive.

It seems that the previous headline had to be changed again.

After thinking for a moment, Honey enthusiastically put pen to paper.

—— 《Who Will Win? An Erotic Feud Between Two Men》

...

Carter felt like his lungs were burning.

In order to let May recognize him at first glance, he wore bright ribbons and a cloak. However, the originally light and weightless decorations were now as heavy as a mountain, especially when running against the wind. He even felt like these things were pulling his body.

However, he was still unwilling to take off the decorations.

Because May had woven them for him with her own hands.

Carter hoped to cross the finish line wearing them—before Dawn's Morning Light.

Although May had never mentioned it to him, he had heard some old stories from the theater troupe members—before His Majesty Roland moved to the Western Region, Fellin was already famous in Longsong Stronghold. At that time, Dawn's Morning Light and the Star of the Western Region were almost an enviable couple. Everyone thought that the two would end up together. His wife, seemed to have been infatuated with Fellin for a period of time. However, the final result was a misunderstanding. Fellin's love was always for Aileen, a newcomer to the theater.

Although this matter later ended without a trace, Carter still felt quite resentful in his heart.

So what if he's Dawn's Morning Light?

She will look at him, but only because a more outstanding version of himself hasn't appeared yet.

He wanted to prove to those people that he was the most suitable man for May!

And the first thing to do was to beat Fellin Hillert, also a knight.

Carter mustered all his strength, stared closely at his opponent who was less than half a body away, and accelerated his pace once again.

The viewing platform at the finish line gradually appeared in view.

It was time to decide the winner!

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him—

Could someone else catch up now?

How is that possible! It should be known that an hour after the start of the race, he and Fellin had left everyone far behind. Even if someone wanted to save their strength, they shouldn't wait until this time to exert it.

It should be known that the consumption of sprinting is far greater than running at a constant speed!

Carter looked back in surprise.

Wait... what is that?

A strangely dressed foreign man was rushing towards them at high speed, and the distance between them was rapidly shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Judging from his skin color and tattoos, he should be a Mojin Desert dweller, but... what's with the long ears on his head and the tail wagging behind him?

Could it be that the other party can gain power through imitating the rituals of wild beasts?

This terrifying scene made Carter shudder. He felt like he was being stared at by something terrible, gritted his teeth, and charged towards the finish line!

Amidst the deafening cheers of the audience, the three of them crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.

Did I... win?

The Chief Knight was panting heavily, running for dozens of meters before stopping. He didn't bother to look at his opponents, but instead looked directly at the top floor of the stands.

His Majesty Roland Wimbledon also stood up at this time.

"Congratulations, you have not only successfully completed the race, but also achieved extremely excellent results!" His voice resounded through the Royal Avenue, "Although the race has not yet ended, the top three have been born under everyone's witness! They are—"

Carter couldn't help swallowing.

"Third place, Carter Lannis."

Hearing the announced result, the Chief Knight closed his eyes unwillingly. Damn it, he was still one step too slow in the end...

"Second place, Rohan Firebrand—a Mojin Desert dweller!"

Roland paused for a moment, waiting for the crowd's discussions to subside slightly, and then said loudly.

"And the first to reach the finish line is—Kui from the Longsong District! Let's give them warm applause!"

Uh... who is that?

Amidst the thunderous cheers of everyone, Carter and the other two were stunned in place.

On the other side, Honey closed her notebook and jumped off the back seat of the bicycle, "Today's report is finally completed, thank you for your hard work."

"Has your headline been finalized?" Wade asked curiously.

"Yes, that's right," she smiled slightly, "Just write the result directly in the headline."

Because that was enough to attract attention.
