The God of War
Offers From Emperor Nobuhide
One by one the knights began to head to the arena that had been prepared in turn. This time the arena was open and everyone could see it in person.
One by one the knights began to advance and attempted to take a bow from the Lightning God Takemi that had been provided on a special table that supported each side.
Of the knights who had been given a chance to start the archery, none could take the arrow belonging to the Lightning God Takemi. The bow was so heavy that the knights were not strong enough to lift it.
Even Luoyi was not strong enough to lift it, his body trembled until sweat soaked all over his body as he tried to lift the magic arrow. His breathing was breathless and it felt like Luoyi was already running out of strength at the moment.
"Next!!" the competition organizers began to give orders to the next knight. Now Zhou began to wander closer to the arrow whisper. While Luoyi who had still not retreated from her place, seemed to feel unacceptable and still wanted to try it again.
"I'll try it again!!" loyoyi looked at Zhou intently, so Zhou began to stop his intention to take the magic arrow.
The competition organizer gave the opportunity once again to Luoyi, but the young man still could not lift the magic arrow.
"That's enough! Give it another chance!" said the man in full armor began to allow Zhou to try it.
Despite being heavy-hearted and filled with resentful feelings, Luoyi finally started to retreat back to her seat and gave Zhou a chance.
Zhou started to take a deep breath then took it out slowly. Now Zhou began to explore the magic arrow which is a legacy of the Lightning Dew.
A phenomenon so rare now occurs, after thousands of years no one can lift the heirloom of the magic arrow, he said, now Zhou could lift it so easily and lightly as if he had lifted an ordinary bow.
Everyone who witnessed this was astonished instead of playing. Even the emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide who witnessed all this through a magical fireball was also amazed. Unlike Luoyi who had even increased his level of hatred for Zhou.
After that, Zhou began to hold the bow of magic arrows close to a giant container containing holy water. Through the reflection of the pure bluish water, Zhou now began to observe a movement of the pure white bird of heaven with its beautiful wings.
The bird of paradise flies and moves like a bird in general. Now Zhou began to face his bow up and began to concentrate fully, until finally an arrow he managed to create through his power.
Zhou was still watching every move of the bird of heaven and started to close his eyes. Slowly Zhou began to pull his bow, until his bow began to shoot fiercely into the air.
VUSSHH ...
Everyone who witnessed all of these events felt so tense overwhelmingly. They were silent for a few moments and held their breath so tense.
JPBW ...
The arrow launched by Zhou was now right about the vital part of the bird of paradise. Instantly rain with a fragrance so fragrant flushed this earth as if to welcome the true winner.
Zhou earned quite a lot of gold coins. Moreover, Zhou managed to win a major competition that is archery the bird of heaven.
After the competition, Zhou immediately returned to his village again. She had missed her wife so much and wanted to take her to the market and buy her some new clothes.

"Grandfather. Sorry I just got back. The competition was just finished last night. We got a dinner party. And then I started to rest. And in the early hours of this day I just traveled back." said Zhou who actually felt reluctant because he left Lily.
"It's okay. Congratulations on your victory, Zhou. Grandpa heard it from some of the soldiers that you met in the woods yesterday."
Zhou smiled warmly and began to thrust a bag for Hiroki Feng, "Grandfather, I bought some layer robes for grandfather."
"Hc. Alright. You guys talk first, grandfather will attend a meeting with another elder from White Peaches village" said Hiroki Feng.
"Alright, Grandfather." said Zhou in a low tone as he stared at Hiroki Feng's departure.
"My wife, I won a few competitions and got a lot of prizes. I bought you some clothes." this time Zhou started to approach Lily and gave some souvenirs to her wife.
"Thank you, my husband." Lily said sincerely.
"Either. Tomorrow we go to the market, yes, I will buy whatever you want." Zhou said excitedly.
Lily just smiled warmly and nodded slowly.

Meanwhile, in a main hall of the palace, the emperor Yoahinao Nobuhide was sitting there accompanied by his queen who was still so beautiful.
In front of him were already some of his confidants already sitting together.
"Find and find a young man named Zhouitu! Hire him to be a bodyguard and a palace soldier! Make a good offer for her if she rejects this offer! I can't lose him!" the emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide began giving his edict to some of his confidants in order to quickly find Zhou.
"Okay, Your Majesty Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide!" replied the warlord linking his fist.
...⚜⚜⚜...
Some soldiers still complete with armor are seen starting to enter the countryside Nobuhide. They asked Nobuhide villagers several times, as if they were looking for someone.
Until finally the palace soldiers began to come to a simple house to meet someone.
"Work in the palace! Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide gave this offer only to master. The emperor will pay a great price for the master. And this gold is in addition to the prize of the competition you won yesterday" said one of the palace soldiers began to open a box containing pieces of gold.
Zhou and Lily felt very surprised at this sudden offer. And they would not be able to take it for granted immediately, before Zhou asked permission from Hiroki Feng.
"Master. For now I can't decide."
"Mr Zhou could negotiate it first with the master family. Think carefully because this opportunity is so rare. Then we'll be ready. Immediately go to the palace if you are interested." said the palace guard again and began to say goodbye.
