Chapter 1879 The Warriors’ Tournament A series of commotions 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. Kella hit him, sending him running away.
Then, Mrs. Kella returned to the yard, grumbling under her breath. She was probably scolding Sodo.
Elisa asked curiously, "Mrs. Kella, what's the warriors’ tournament?” Mrs. Kella'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. Kella grumbled. "Sodo, that br*t, keeps causing trouble. | told them not to let him chere. This is bad..." Her usually rosy face suddenly turned ashen.

Mrs. Kella sighed and looked at them. "Are you sure you want to know?" Gareth turned to Elisa. The latter nodded.
Mrs. Kella 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 glances before following Mrs. Kella.
Once in the house, Mrs. Kella opened three coconuts and poured coconut water into a few cups before serving them to Elisa and Gareth.
Elisa accepted it and took a sip. It felt refreshing.
The weather was hot in the fishing village at this tof 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 village had beautifully tanned skin.
The coconut water was not chilled. In other words, there was not a refrigerator anywhere in this village.
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. Kella hesitated on how she should bring up the matter.
It was only until Elisa finished half a cup of the coconut water that Mrs. Kella said, "Your arrival coincided with the warriors" tournament, an important event held in this village 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Kella 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 village chief, and the village 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 village chief to force Elisa to marry him? What makes him think he can succeed? Gareth said, "Mrs. Kella, does the village chief have to agree to the request even if it's not within his power?" Mrs. Kella 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 village 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. Kella 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. Kella with a confused expression.
Why can't Gareth join the tournament? Didn't Sodo say he's joining it? Mrs. Kella looked into their eyes and knew what they were thinking.
