The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Lily muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled, "When Lu Ming came yesterday, he didn't seem to have brought any luggage, did he?"

Thanks to a dinner, Lu Ming was no longer so shy that he couldn't speak in front of Lily, but deep down, he was still a little embarrassed. And he had even dared to call her cute earlier. Although Lily didn't understand, for this guy who hadn't had a boyfriend all college, it was almost enough to make him die of embarrassment.

Back in his room, Lu Ming closed the door, took off his tattered robe, and changed into a suit.

The blue coat was a bit tight, but it wasn't the kind of coat that needed to be buttoned up.

Because there was no mirror, Lu Ming didn't know how he looked in this outfit, but he felt that he was many times better than that tax collector!

Lu Ming lightly kicked his toes, put on his clothes and boots, and went downstairs. He found the village chief already eating the breakfast Lily had prepared for him.

The village chief stuffed the last bite of food into his mouth, raised an eyebrow at Lu Ming in a provocative manner, and laughed, "Young man, your outfit is quite nice! You have a bit of an aristocratic air about you!"

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and sat down opposite the village chief, glaring at him fiercely as if something his girlfriend had made by hand had been stolen.

Seeing this, the village chief smiled and shook his head, ignoring Lu Ming, and turned to Lily, saying, "Lily Helas, the martial arts contest specially prepared for you to choose a husband is about to begin. What are your thoughts?"

Lily smiled as if it had nothing to do with her, ignoring the village chief, and simply placed another breakfast she had prepared in front of Lu Ming.

"Hmph! I knew it!" Seeing that Lily ignored him, the village chief snorted coldly and said, "Do as you please! But after the martial arts contest to choose a husband, please leave Helas Village within five days!"

After saying that, the village chief turned and left.

Confused, Lu Ming blinked and looked at Lily. Lily's surname was the name of the village, so she should have a significant connection with it. Why would the village chief issue such an ultimatum?

Moreover, why would the village chief, who was kind to him and Dex last night, speak coldly to Lily?

Unable to figure it out, he wanted to ask Lily.

But just then, a series of firecrackers suddenly went off outside, startling Lu Ming.

"How come there are firecrackers in this world?" Lu Ming muttered to himself as he and Lily walked out of the house.

Meanwhile, outside, the villagers had built a small arena out of wood, with two pillars on either side and a flag with strange writing on it.

Although he couldn't understand what the words meant, Lu Ming knew it must be something like a martial arts contest to find a husband.

"Hey! You beggar, you look really good dressed up!" Lu Ming followed Lily out of the house, and before he could even see the people around the arena, he heard the taunts of the fat tax collector from yesterday.

"However, a beggar is a beggar! No matter what he wears, he's still a beggar!! Hahahaha~!!" The tax collector pointed at Lu Ming and laughed at the two armored men beside him.

"You fatso! Who are you talking about!" Hearing this, Lu Ming naturally couldn't stand it. He drew the Sage's Candlestick, intending to teach that fatso a lesson, but Lily grabbed him.

Looking back at Lily, Lu Ming saw her shake her head slightly. Not wanting to upset Lily, he had no choice but to hold back for now and teach that fat tax collector a lesson during the martial arts competition later.

Seemingly noticing that Lily had grabbed Lu Ming's hand, the fat tax collector's face instantly darkened, and he gave the village chief a sinister glance not far away.

That one glance surprised Lu Ming, who found that all the villagers, including the village chief and Dex, were glaring angrily at Lily.

That look in his eyes was as if he couldn't wait for Lily to die.

This puzzled Lu Ming. In his opinion, Lily was a very nice girl. Although she might have squinty eyes or be blind, she had a good personality, was very gentle with Lu Ming, and there was nothing wrong with her at all. So what was with the way the villagers were looking at her?

"Hmph!" The village chief seemed to see the confusion on Lu Ming's face, so he stopped glaring at Lily so fiercely.

He stepped onto the arena, opened his arms, and addressed the crowd: "Today, our village of Helas is holding a martial arts contest to find a husband for Lily Helas! Whether you are a merchant, a commoner, or a nobleman, if you wish to marry this woman, simply defeat your opponent and you can take her home!"

"Our rules are very simple: beat your opponent until they surrender or knock them off the ring!"

Those below the arena, some of whom weren't from Helas Village, cheered enthusiastically. The villagers, however, remained indifferent, showing absolutely no interest in the event.

"Now, let's begin the martial arts contest to find a husband! Contestants who wish to win this woman's heart, please step onto the stage!"

Following the village chief's words, two men dressed in ordinary clothes, who appeared to be passing merchants, stepped onto the arena.

"The duel begins!" the village chief shouted, then ran off the stage as if fleeing, leaving the two merchants to begin what was called a duel, but in reality a farce of wrestling and grappling.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ming couldn't bear to watch any longer and covered his eyes, refusing to look at the two middle-aged men fighting on the ground like children.

"What kind of martial arts competition is this?! Get out of here!"

------------------------------

Please pay attention, please, please give me guidance.

Chapter Four - Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage (Part 1) (Seeking Recommendations)

"What kind of martial arts competition is this?! Get out of here!" Like Lu Ming, a knight in armor couldn't tolerate the two middle-aged men fighting like children on the stage. He roared, scaring the two merchants into stopping.

Seeing that the man's single roar had sent the two contestants tumbling off the stage in terror, Lu Ming frowned slightly. Even though the man was wearing armor, was this really necessary? He didn't even look half the size of the two merchants, so how could he...?

"My name is Fren Sachs, the third son of the lord of Niflheim! Anyone among you who is not afraid of death, come up here!" Before Lu Ming could ask who the man was, he stepped onto the arena and arrogantly declared his challenge.

"Damn it, you're nothing but a guy who can't inherit any territory!"

"Yeah, what are you being so arrogant about!?"

As soon as Fren finished speaking, the two knights beside the fat tax collector roared angrily and climbed onto the arena at the same time.

It was clear that they and the fat tax collector were not afraid of the lord's third son.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming was completely bewildered as he watched two knights, wearing armor with the exact same emblems as Fren's armor, engage in a three-knight battle with Fren.

Two knights, whose armor was inferior to Frenko's and whose status was not as high, actually started fighting with the lord's son. Did these two guys have a death wish?

"Is this strange?" At this moment, Dex, who had somehow appeared behind Lu Ming, suddenly asked.

Lu Ming was startled by Dex's sudden outburst and immediately turned around, looking at the Nezha-like sprite with great vigilance: "Damn! When did you get here? And didn't you say yesterday..."

"Judging from your clothes, they don't look like ordinary stuff; they should be enough to cover me, so I came over. Besides, the tax collector said he has no intention of retaliating against me. He only hates you!"

"Hehehe, he really has a compassionate heart~"

Dex ignored Lu Ming's sarcasm and looked at the two knights fighting with Fren with admiration. He said to Lu Ming, "The two knights fighting Lord Fren are the knights of the lord's eldest son and second daughter. In their eyes, Lord Fren has always been a target, so it's not surprising that they're acting this way. But what's strange is, how did you end up hanging out with that woman?"

"What did Lily do? Why are you hostile towards her?" Although Dex answered Lu Ming's question, the disgusted tone in his voice when he mentioned Lily made Lu Ming very uncomfortable.

"Hehe! It's best if you don't know." Dex kept Lu Ming in suspense, only smiling slightly without answering him.

"..." Seeing that Dexter remained silent, Lu Ming stopped asking questions and began to watch the show on the stage.

It must be said that Fren Sachs was quite skilled in martial arts. Even when surrounded and attacked by two knights, he was still able to fight them off with ease.

Furen used two short, one-handed swords, which allowed him to parry the attacks of the two knights and launch counterattacks.

The two knights were armed with a relatively long one-handed sword and a small shield. Although their martial arts skills were inferior to Fren's, the fact that there were two of them and they had the advantage of their shields meant they were not at a disadvantage.

Watching Furen slash left and right, while the two knights parried and countered, Dex exclaimed with admiration, "As expected of the knights of Niflheim, they actually managed to force Lord Furen into this situation! I wish I could join them in their departure someday."

"You want to be a knight? Don't elves like playing with bows and arrows?" Lu Ming glanced at Dex with some curiosity.

"What do you know? Elves aren't just sharpshooters, we're also sword masters!" Dex gave Lu Ming a disdainful look and said.

"I've never heard of a sword master charging on horseback!" Lu Ming's counterattack was simple, but it left Dex speechless.

"You...you...you're ruthless!"

"Hehehe!" Seeing that Dex was half-dead with anger, Lu Ming chuckled, took out three cans of apple soda, gave one to Dex and one to Lily, and then drank some himself.

"Isn't this an alchemical potion? Why are you drinking it for no reason?" Dex stared blankly at the apple soda in his hand and asked Lu Ming.

"It's just a drink with a slight therapeutic effect." Lu Ming took a swig of soda before answering Dex. But he soon saw Dex blush and silently put the soda away.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I only drank half of the can you gave me yesterday, and my wife drank the rest. So I..."

"So you hit him?"

"No. We just had a fight... I think I'll leave this jar to my wife. That way she won't get angry with me and make me sleep on the floor again..."

"hehe."

Listening to Lu Ming and Dex chatting casually, treating the fight between Fren and the two knights as a farce, Lily couldn't help but smile. She imitated Lu Ming, opened an apple soda, and began to sip it slowly.

Fren and the two knights fought fiercely, so fiercely that even after Lu Ming and Lily finished their sodas, more than ten minutes later, they were still fighting back and forth.

"What's going on? When will those three ever stop? They've been fighting for half an hour!" Like the others, Lu Ming, who was tired of standing, sat on the grass and complained impatiently.

Dex, equally impatient, followed Lu Ming and complained, "Yeah! What are they doing? Aren't knight battles usually over quickly?"

No sooner had the two finished speaking than Fren, as if he had heard their complaints, burst out with a loud roar: "Bernicassoya!!"

Then, blue fluorescence appeared on Fren's two one-handed swords, as if they were covered with something unknown.

With these two one-handed swords gleaming with blue fluorescence, he utterly overwhelmed the two knights, leaving them utterly defenseless. The once ordinary swords became exceptionally sharp, and the small shields that had been able to parry Fren's slashes were riddled with holes, while the swords in the knights' hands were also chipped and dented.

"Wow! A magical weapon!!" Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the blue glow emanating from Furen's one-handed sword.

Having transmigrated through Dark Souls, how could he not recognize the enhancement magic 'spell weapons' from Dark Souls?

With a single sword stroke, he cut one of the two knights off the stage. Furen glanced at Lu Ming, who was sitting on the grass not far away, and smiled grimly. He then continued fighting the remaining knight.

"Do you know what kind of magic Lord Fren uses?" Dex asked immediately when he saw that Lu Ming knew the magic Fren used on his one-handed sword.

"That's magic from the Dragon Academy, called Spell Weapons. It's a magic that adds magical damage to weapons by attaching a soul to them!" Lu Ming revealed the information about Spell Weapons without hesitation.

"Dragon Academy? Is that a magic academy? But souls and stuff... that sounds so evil!"

"Forehead......"

While Lu Ming and Dex were discussing magical weapons, the Dragon Academy, and souls, the village chief, who wasn't far from them, overheard their conversation. Without a word, he relayed all the information he had gathered to the fat tax collector.

"Because it's spell damage, the shield can't block it?" The fat tax collector, who had received the information from the village chief, looked at the two one-handed swords in Furen's hand that were glowing with a fluorescent light, and pondered how to deal with this kind of magic that could almost be called heresy.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dex was also asking Lu Ming about the weaknesses of 'magical weapons'.

"Spell weapons have two drawbacks: one is their short duration, and the other is that their effectiveness against monsters with high magic power or people wearing magic resistance gear is not as good as when they are not equipped."

As someone with poor dexterity, without the enhancement magic of spell weapons, it would be highly unlikely that Lu Ming could have dragged his corpse to the Twin Princes amidst a horde of monsters. Therefore, Lu Ming's understanding of spell weapons, one of his favorite magical abilities, is naturally very profound!

As they were talking, a flash of blue light appeared on Fren's one-handed sword and vanished without a trace. But the last of the two knights was kicked off the stage by him.

Watching the knight tumble around outside the arena before finally managing to get up, the fat tax collector's face turned grim. However, thanks to the village chief's errands, he had already learned quite a bit about magical weapons from Lu Ming. In his opinion, dealing with Furen, this half-baked mage and knight, was more than enough!

"Lord Furen's martial arts are quite good, but I wonder if he can defeat me!" The tax collector walked step by step toward the arena under Furen's arrogant gaze, and said with a sneer.

"Whether it's possible or not, we'll only know after we try! Isn't that right, Lord Amani?"

“That’s right!” The fat tax collector climbed onto the arena with some difficulty, then smiled slightly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fren disregarded aristocratic etiquette and launched a preemptive attack on the tax collector!

Seeing this, the tax collector sneered, drew a short sword from its scabbard, and engaged in battle with Furen.

However, to everyone's surprise, the tax collector, who was as fat as a pig, actually fought to a draw with Fren!

While everyone mistakenly believed that the tax collector was hiding his true abilities, only Dex and Lu Ming realized that the tax collector had no martial arts skills at all; he was merely relying on his fancy clothes to fight.
