Chapter 327 Preparations
Regarding the competition, Liang En was actually most worried that Joan of Arc's actual combat experience was too strong to control, and then she used certain techniques that were suitable for actual combat but violated the rules in the competition.
However, during the practice, Liang En discovered that Joan of Arc adapted to these rules very quickly, and after only playing five or six rounds, she was able to ensure that every move that followed was within the scope of the rules.
"Actually, our time was not only about wars, there were also many interesting activities." Knowing what Liang En was worried about before, Joan showed a smile.
"For example, there were many knightly tournaments in our time. At first, blunt swords were used, but later on, various wooden swords were used for safety."
"There are no uniform regulations for this kind of competition, so the tips of this kind of weapon must be ground into a circular arc, and the use of stabbing attack methods is not allowed, and I have seen restrictions."
"To be honest, the request here is only for reasonable reasons such as competition safety, which is completely acceptable, unlike when we didn't even allow people with blue badges to participate, because the organizers didn't like such a bad reason. "
After lunch, Liang En and the others drove to Dublin to participate in the selection work related to the competition. Because the time was close to the competition, those people were practicing in a fighting club. Liang En and the others happened to go to the fighting club to meet them and complete the assessment .
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liang, and Ms. Jeanne." After asking at the front desk, they quickly came to the room, and a bald young man in plate armor received them.
"I'm John, and I'm the captain of the Irish full-time fighting team. I'm in charge of the next match. Besides me, there are four other members of our team—"
John, the self-proclaimed captain, quickly introduced the identities of the participating players to Liang En. Unlike some professional full-armed fighting teams in Eastern Europe, the Irish team is a team purely for love. Because of this, the entire team only has five people .
And this is why they are willing to accept Liang En and the others when the competition is approaching. This is not only because Liang En's reputation has a lot of appeal, but also because of the 20000 euro sponsorship fee that Joan of Arc paid out.
According to John, the largest sponsorship fee they received before was only 5000 euros other than buying personal equipment.
Of course, this sponsorship fee is not limited to Liang En and Joan of Arc's quota, but also the advertisements for the emerald thrift store, Fan Meng's restaurant, Liang's Farm and Liang's Ranch for the next whole year.
I have to say that although these people look like a grass-roots team, they are very serious in doing things. For example, there are billboards for these four stores hanging on the venue now.
This was also reflected in the subsequent tests. Several people played one-on-one or even two-on-two with Liang En and the others very seriously for half an hour.
I have to say that these people are really good. According to Joan of Arc, their combat proficiency can be regarded as elite in terms of combat skills alone on the battlefield of her era.
However, because Liang En's body has been strengthened many times and Joan of Arc is carrying the cross today, both Liang En and the others have an absolute advantage over these players in terms of skills and strength.
"It's still too late for you two to sign up. If you sign up two months in advance, I will definitely let you join our home team to participate in the 5v5 match." After finishing the test, John said with regret.
"It's a pity that there is not enough time now, and there is no way for the whole team to run in, so you can only sign up for the solo competition. I have signed up for you according to your requirements."
The single-player competition is divided into long pole, long sword, sword and shield fighting and professional competition rules sword and shield. Except for the last event, the rest of the competition is divided into two groups according to gender.
Liang En only signed up for a one-man pole competition. After all, he doesn't know how to use either a long sword or a sword shield, so there's no need to do the kind of work that takes the initiative to give away heads.
Joan of Arc signed up for the long sword, sword shield, and professional competition rules sword shield. For him, operating these weapons is obviously not a difficult task. With the addition of the cross, she thinks she should be able to win.
That's right, Joan of Arc will wear the cross during the competition, and the reason is that she believes that the cross is related to the gods she believes in, so out of faith, she doesn't think wearing the cross violates the principle of fairness.
Although this sounds a bit weird, it is also a European tradition.Whether it was the Crusades or the colonial era, these Europeans have been doing all kinds of evil, but they can always absolve themselves from the perspective of faith.
For the next period of time, Liang En and Joan of Arc would go to this fighting club for pre-match practice every day, and deal with various affairs at the same time.
The most important of these things are two things, one of which is about the previous solar cave, and the scientific research work about the solar cave is finally completed, and it is time to consider the issue of business.
Another thing is that with the serialization of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" on the Internet, some publishing houses gradually began to contact him, hoping to obtain authorization.
For the first matter, Liang En chose the National Museum of Scotland as the partner, and then entrusted his lawyer with the content of the specific negotiations.
After all, this kind of business negotiation is a very professional job, so for Liang En, entrusting this job to professionals is obviously much better than doing it shirtless by himself.
As for the authorization of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", Liang En decided to wait for a while after asking his lawyer and several professionals in this field.
Because now the door-to-door talks are all publishing houses that hope to pick up leaks at a low price, and there are even many middlemen who hope to make a lot of money by hoarding copyrights.
For Liang En, he is not the kind of person who depends on this industry for a living, so he can completely wait for a suitable publisher to find him.
According to the results of consulting several lawyers before, the best suitable publishers are those established small and medium-sized publishers, because these publishers have certain strengths, and at the same time, they give more profits to authors due to the problem of scale.
In addition to these works, he also took the opportunity of compiling the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic dictionary to find a new perspective and write a new paper, and helped the Louvre translate several carved texts.
Although these tasks are very routine and simple for him, they can help him improve his prestige and sense of presence from time to time, and establish the image of a good scholar.
This is mainly because one of the important reasons why Liang En can have so many opportunities and benefits now is his status as a scholar, so he naturally attaches great importance to this foundation.
Soon it was two days before the competition day. Liang En and the others gathered together and drove to the venue of the competition. Fort William in Scotland was going to get used to the venue in advance.
The reason for driving instead of flying is also very simple, because it is not cheap to carry this pile of equipment, and many of these team members are not well-off.
In addition to the team members preparing to participate in the competition, Fan Meng and Pierce also drove a truck to follow them, hoping to take advantage of this competition to do business and promote themselves.
