Chapter 1879 The Warriors'' Tournament
A series ofmotions sounded from outside. Suddenly, Sodo stumbled into view and shouted toward
the yard, "Elisa! I''ll marry you after the warriors'' tournament!"
He let out a scream after that.
It was because Mrs. Ke hit him, sending him running away.
Then, Mrs. Ke returned to the yard, grumbling under her breath. She was probably scolding Sodo.
Elisa asked curiously, "Mrs. Ke, what''s the warriors'' tournament?"
Mrs. Ke''s expression turned strange. She looked at them and sighed.
"Did you hear everything?"
Elisa and Gareth stayed silent, amounting to a quiet affirmation.
Mrs. Ke grumbled. "Sodo, that br*t, keeps causing trouble. I told them not to let hime here. This
is bad…"
Her usually rosy face suddenly turned ashen.
Elisa and Gareth were even more confused.
Mrs. Ke sighed and looked at them. "Are you sure you want to know?"
Gareth turned to Elisa. Thetter nodded.
Mrs. Ke closed the gate and locked it before hurrying into the house.
She did not slow down as she said, "Please follow me."
Elisa found the matter suspicious. What is it that we need to talk about it behind closed doors?
She and Gareth exchanged nces before following Mrs. Ke.
Once in the house, Mrs. Ke opened three coconuts and poured coconut water into a few cups before
serving them to Elisa and Gareth.
Elisa epted it and took a sip. It felt refreshing.
The weather was hot in the fishing vige at this time of the year. Furthermore, the sunlight was so
intense that her skin felt in danger of sunburn.
With abundant sunlight and warm temperature, it was no wonder everyone in this vige had beautifully
tanned skin.
The coconut water was not chilled. In other words, there was not a refrigerator anywhere in this vige.
Still, the coconuts were cool when stored indoors. Moreover, the water from the newly opened
coconuts was surprisingly cold and refreshing to drink.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ke hesitated on how she should bring up the matter.
It was only until Elisa finished half a cup of the coconut water that Mrs. Ke said, "Your arrival
coincided with the warriors'' tournament, an important event held in this vige once every three years.
Everyone will take a break from work and gather together on that day."
Elisa nodded to indicate that she understood.
That sounds like a New Year celebration. Perhaps even more significant.
After all, New Year is celebrated yearly, but the warriors'' tournament happens once every three years.
Mrs. Ke continued, "Only men can participate in this warriors'' tournament. They have to go through
three challenges. The final winner gets to request something from the vige chief, and the vige chief
cannot refuse."
Elisa nodded.
Gareth''s expression darkened. He gripped the cup so tightly that he nearly crushed it.
He finally understood what Sodo said.
Will he win the tournament and ask the vige chief to force Elisa to marry him?
What makes him think he can seed?
Gareth said, "Mrs. Ke, does the vige chief have to agree to the request even if it''s not within his
power?"
Mrs. Ke nodded.
That''s why he is so confident about forcing Elisa to marry him.
He is rotten to the core.
Even without considering whether the vige chief can fulfill his wish, what makes him think he can win
the warriors'' tournament?
Gareth considered briefly before asking, "In that case, can an outsider join this tournament?"
Mrs. Ke instantly figured out that Gareth wanted to join.
She waved her hands in protest and shook her head, indicating to Gareth that he should not join the
warriors'' tournament.
"Why not?" Elisa turned to Mrs. Ke with a confused expression.
Why can''t Gareth join the tournament?
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Didn''t Sodo say he''s joining it?
Mrs. Ke looked into their eyes and knew what they were thinking.
