Although he was able to stand out in the competition of hundreds of people, he was only in the top 32 to really enter the palace and be received by His Majesty Ralvin. And not everyone in the top 32 will appear, and strangers like Rego have left long after being eliminated. And the rest of the people are basically talents that the Hawke Empire can accept and absorb.

The MI also put some effort into investigating the backgrounds of these people, but strangely enough, people of mysterious origin like Regner and Kordak were not expelled by MIA. The report that Ralvin received only showed that they were mercenaries who had come to the continent of Chino from Reims, and did not explain their relationship with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild and the Arcane Eyes.

So, the people who entered the palace in Regner's circle this time were Regner, Kordak, Eberun and Goethe. The four of them were ready early in the morning, and then led by their attendants into the palace.

"Oh, is the statue golden? God, aren't they afraid that someone will steal it when they put it out there as a decoration?" Alberon whispered to Regner.

"It's a pity that you won't let me bring it this time, otherwise I'll cut a small piece down, and I don't know it. Regner replied with a look of pity.

"Hmph, idiot, these things are just gilded, if they were really gold, they would have been stolen by those attendants a long time ago, so it would be your turn to do it?!" Kordak had a look on his face, "Big brother, I am a man who has seen the world, you little children really don't understand anything".

"No, those are really gold. But no one will steal it, because this is the palace, and even if those attendants are crazy, they don't dare to make any small moves here. In the end, Goethe could only give a standard answer with a helpless face, and he suddenly found that it was a bit of a shame to come out with these three mountain cannons......

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" asked Kordak, pretending to be annoyed by Goethe's penetration, but with some curiosity. To be honest, since it is pure gold, then he is actually a little moved, if he can bring a piece back, maybe the food expenses will be settled next month.

"See where?" Goethe pointed to a tall building with an imperceptible movement, and continued, "There are all members of the palace guard who keep an eye on us at all times, and maybe members of the court mage association. If they're there, I'm afraid you're sneaking around picking a leaf, and they'll know about it. ”

"......" Cordak was scared into a cold sweat, as a mercenary, he has always had a very sharp intuition, and since he entered the palace, he has always had a strange feeling of being watched, and now after Goethe's guidance, he understands what is going on.

"Dude, how do you know so much?" asked Alberon suddenly.

"I've lived in Melindale for a long time, and I know that. Goethe responded casually, he pulled Alberton, who was still a little reluctant, and said: "Okay, let's go, now it's better to talk less, just do what they say." ”

......

Regner was taken by the guards to a very large hall where there were already a few people sitting here and there, and Regner searched around and found that they were all contestants, but he did not see Annelot.

A few people found a place to do it, and then began to chat with the people around them.

I don't know how long later, the guards came to inform them that Ralvin the Great was coming, and those contestants who had been giggling quickly stood up and put on a serious and respectful appearance.

When they first met the king of the Hawke Empire, the eyes of almost all the contestants flashed with surprise and disappointment, is this the man who rules the northern territory of the Chino continent?

Yes, Ralvin the Great is indeed a little flattering in appearance. He was tall and fat, and his originally golden hair had begun to gradually fall out, leaving behind a thinning Tianling Gai. In appearance, although this guy can be regarded as thick eyebrows and big eyes, the wide cheeks and fat lips completely ruined this big round face. Regner couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw him, if he could lose weight, he might be able to be regarded as a superb middle-aged uncle.

Following Ralvin was Joffrey, the imperial prince who was much better than his father. He inherited Ralvin's length, and was lucky not to inherit Ralvin's width, so he was a tall, handsome blonde youth. He has a smile on his face, and he should be very popular with girls.

Then there is a slightly skinny man, his appearance is so unremarkable that almost no one notices him. But Regner was a little surprised, because the man always gave him a somewhat familiar feeling. But he didn't have time to think about it, because there was another person behind the thin man. She had long, ice-blue hair, and it was none other than Anne Lot.

"Annie......" Regner wanted to take a step forward, but Goethe and Kordak grabbed him from left to right.

"Look at the occasion, this is not the place for the two of you to catch up. Kordak reminded in a low voice, and Goethe shook his head seriously at him.

Regner looked at the two of them, and finally had to give up. Yes, she is the pride of the Empire, a supernova of the Court Mage Guild. And what about himself? It's just a wild way to reach the top four by luck. Now you want to talk to Annelot in front of the king and the prince?

It's obviously a very good relationship, and it's obviously a very familiar friend, but because of the presence of some people, he doesn't even have the qualifications to step forward and say a word, is this the status gap between people?

Regner stared at Joffrey, who had been whispering to her around Annelot, and he clenched his fists tightly, and before he knew it, an emotion was brewing in his heart. If you really need it, then come!

Ralvin and the others sat in the highest position in the center of the hall, with Joffrey sitting next to him, followed by the thin man. Annelot, on the other hand, resumed her identity as a contestant, and she walked to the sides of the hall and found a random open spot. I don't know if she did it intentionally, but the position was directly opposite Regner.

The Frost Maiden raised her head and glanced at Regner faintly, then looked at Ralvin the Great in silence.

"Okay, don't stand, sit down. Ralvin's tone was very easy-going.

"I'm sure you're all amazed at how the king of the empire could be such a fat-brained guy. Ralvin started with a self-deprecation.

But no one dared to laugh at Ralvin's self-deprecation, and the king looked at the crowd and said, "Well, you don't have to be too nervous. Although I have read your information, it is still difficult for me to match the face to the name, so please introduce yourself again, starting from left to right. ”

"Goethe Müller, the chief coach of Melindel's Black Steel Martial Arts Gym, a fourteenth-level warrior, is in the top thirty-two of this competition. Goethe, who was the first man on the left, stood up calmly, bowed respectfully to Ralvin, and then gave a brief introduction.

"Oh, I can't imagine that the dragon and the crouching tiger can be hidden in the martial arts hall, you are a bit condescending as the head of the martial arts hall. Ralvin said with a smile.

Then there was Regner, who knew that Goethe was taking the initiative to set an example for himself. So he also learned from Goethe's appearance and introduced: "Lei, the former mercenary of the Reims Continent, a fourteenth-level assassin, the top four in this competition." ”

"You can have such skills at such a young age, and your potential is unfathomable. I think the second day of this competition, apart from our champion Anne, should be you. Ralvin looked at Regner and said with a deep meaning.

When Regner and the fat man looked at each other, they realized the momentum of this emperor's unangry and self-imposing, and those eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, which made Regner's heart skip a beat. He answered, and sat down quickly.

"Kordak, the former mercenary of the Reims Continent, a fifteenth-level warrior, the top sixteen in this competition. Cordak was also very powerful, and he knew that Ralvin was trying to show them off, so he worked very hard.

"I didn't go to see it, but I heard about your game, your spirit is respectable, and you played very well. Ralvin the Great looked at Kordaq with some appreciation: "I remember that you were only level thirteen when you competed before, and now you are level fifteen, have you broken through?"

"Yes. Kordak nodded: "I broke through after that serious injury, and I was very lucky to step into the advanced rank." ”

"Very good, great strength, and great leadership...... If you wish, the Empire will be more than welcoming to people like you. Ralvin sent out the invitation, but he didn't rush to get Cordak to reply, and continued, "Next." ”

"Ai ...... Alberon ......" Alberon received the achievement "First Man of Stage Fright", and he stammered, "Twelfth level Ranger...... Top 8 finalists. ”

"It looks like our lads are getting a little nervous. Ralvin laughed and teased: "You are also great, I remember that you are the only one in the top eight who is not level fourteen, which is also very rare." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" said Albert loudly, straightening up, while Regner, Kordak, and Goethe covered their faces silently.

In this way, whenever a person introduces himself, Ralvin will say a word or two to him. Or praise or comment on his game. To everyone's surprise, although Ralvin didn't say much, none of his comments were very clear and accurate. This made everyone a little more cautious and in awe of him, because Ralvin seemed to convey to them, consciously or unconsciously, that is: I know you well, each and every one of you.
