Hawke Empire, among the royal palaces of Melindel.

A pound-long steak, two loaves of bread, a dozen slices of bacon meat, plus a chicken thigh and two black pepper sausages. Anne Lot swept everything in front of her, then wiped her mouth gracefully.

To be honest, the food in the palace is indeed very delicious, plus she was not in a very good mood some time ago (she eats extra heavily when she is in a bad mood). Driven by these two factors, Anne Lot's meals have increased dramatically in recent times. This delicate girl now eats enough to compete with a big man like Kordak.

And what makes all women crazy is that Anne Lot not only eats a huge amount of food, but also the type that will not gain weight no matter how much she eats. She'd nearly doubled her meal lately, and she'd only gained a slight amount of weight compared to before, and the extra weight was growing exactly where it was needed. Although the current Annelot is not as tall and plump as Vera, she is definitely bumpy.

"Pack them up. Annelot commanded lightly.

To be honest, the days in the palace were very comfortable and very comfortable compared to the previous life of a mercenary. In terms of eating, the Imperial Kitchen will select the most exquisite ingredients to cook for her every day according to her requirements, and the food she eats when she is a mercenary is almost like dog food compared to these things. In terms of living, she sleeps on a silk soft bed every day, and the servants help her lay the bedding every day, how can this treatment be compared to the original tent sleeping bag?

But even Anne Lott herself had to admit that life was much better now than it had been in the past. But she still misses the mercenary life in the past, and she misses the companions who were born and died with her. Those people were poor and rude, but they were the first friends she knew, and they were far lovelier than the smiling and smiling creatures that surrounded her now.

On several occasions, Annelot regretted that she had followed Mallolet to Melindel. But whenever she thought of that guy, the anger in the girl's heart quickly overshadowed her remorse. She misses her companion, but only that fellow, and he'd better pray that he doesn't run into her again!

But the guy came looking for him like an idiot. Not only that, but he also participated in this competition.

"Is it for me?" Annelot's face flushed slightly every time such a thought came to her, but at the thought of the man's mean expression, Annelot shook her head firmly. Even if it's for me, I've already made up my mind to ignore that guy anyway.

"Annie. "A tall and handsome young man with long golden hair entered, he was the eldest son of Emperor Ralwin, and the man who had placed Annelot here—Joffrey Hawke.

"Your Royal Highness. Anne Lott stood up and saluted, she was haughty and indifferent, but unlike other haughty people.

Perhaps other proud people will resist these worldly rules, and even when they meet the prince, those who are proud will twist their necks and refuse to bow their heads, as a way to show their pride - neither afraid nor concerned about the identity of the other prince.

But Anne Lott doesn't, she doesn't resist these worldly rules, she doesn't follow them. She has always had an attitude of indifference, since saluting can make the other person feel good and can also avoid other people's tongues from causing trouble to herself, then she will do it. In her opinion, it was just an action and had no other meaning. To put it simply, Annelot did not salute as a sign of respect, but only to avoid other troubles.

"Don't bow to me. Joffrey waved his hand very generously: "I have a joust of yours this afternoon." ”

"I know. Anello nodded, she didn't want to participate in the contest, but at Joffrey's insistence, she had to obey. After all, she, the magical advisor named in the Palace Mage Association, has not made any contributions so far, and now many people are a little dissatisfied with her behavior of eating dry food. And although she didn't care about those people, the muttering behind her back made the Frost Maiden feel irritated, so she decided to have a good fight and make those guys shut their mouths.

"Go for it, I'm looking forward to your performance in the arena and I'm sure you won't let me down. Joffrey said with an old-timer tone. It's no wonder that the twenty-six-year-old Joffrey is now a fifteenth-level high-level mage, although such an achievement is not as good as his younger brother Alexander, but in the eyes of the world, anyone who can enter the high level before the age of thirty is a demonic existence.

Therefore, Joffrey, who has always been praised as a genius, will naturally have a sense of superiority in front of Annelot, who is lower than his rank. But he forgot that Anne Lott was almost ten years younger than her, and that she was only one level below him.

"I will. Anne Lot replied lightly, she actually didn't like this Joffrey, but her natural personality made her rarely show her likes and dislikes, except for the three mercenaries, even if she saw people she hated, they were all that cold.

"Okay, I'll watch you play, come on. Joffrey gave a charming smile that caused the maids behind him to look confused, but he was disappointed to find that Annelot's ice-blue eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

......

"I didn't expect Anne to meet that Negrera in the first game, boss, it's up to Anne to clean up that idiot!" said Regner, who not only came to see the game, but also deliberately spent a lot of money to buy a front seat, and now that he is only two meters away from the edge of the field, it is naturally easy to see Anne Lot.

"It's a pity Vera can't see it. Kordaq shook his head, Vera couldn't move freely because of her injury, so she stayed in the hotel to recuperate, Kordaq wanted to stay with her, but the girl refused.

She knew that Annelot must still be angry with Regnar at this time, and without Kordaq as a buffer at this time, I'm afraid that Ragnar wouldn't even be able to talk to Annelot. Therefore, under Vera's strong request, Kordak could only reluctantly follow.

"But it doesn't matter. Cordak continued: "Anyway, there will be two people in each group, and this kid shouldn't kneel here as long as his strength is not too bad." Lao Tzu will clean him up in the game in the future. ”

"Oh......" Regner covered his face in anguish, he had hoped that Kordaq would be able to dissipate his anger after Anne Lot beat Negrella, but now it seemed that this man still felt that it was a pleasure to do it himself. Just as Regner was struggling to figure out how to persuade Kordak, the arena suddenly became lively.

Regner looked up and saw that the two contestants had already appeared in the arena.

One of them was Negrella, the young Assassin who had attacked and injured Vera a few days earlier. He was dressed in dark red leather armor, with two long swords on his back and two daggers at his waist.

On the other hand, she had long silky blue hair that was mostly tied into a high ponytail and curled at the back of her head, leaving only a few strands of bangs hanging gently in front of her smooth forehead, adding a bit of clarity and charm to her originally beautiful and cold face. She wore a white robe as usual, but this robe had a pale blue tinge to match her ice-blue hair.

There was no doubt that her robe was very precious, because the pale blue color of her robe was not dyed with dye, but because of the enchantment, the pale blue magical radiance that emanated from the enchantment. Look at the turquoise gem set on the chest of the robe, which is the size of a baby's fist.

According to Willless's notes, Regner recognized the gemstone, the Heart of the Ocean, as it could only be found in the depths of the Central Sea. It is a very rare magic storage crystal, which can only store the magic energy of water elements, but its storage capacity is five times that of a normal magic storage crystal in the same volume! According to records, the heart of the ocean the size of a peanut bean is enough to store a third-level water spell. And such a large piece of the Heart of the Ocean is probably enough for Anne Lot to cast an additional three or four seventh-level water spells!

You know, sometimes a high-level spell can even make a difference on the battlefield, but how terrifying would it be to have so many additional high-level spells?

In addition, Annelot also held a fiery red staff in her hand, although she didn't know the specific function, but it was not difficult to guess from Annelot's robe alone that the staff in her hand must not be ordinary.

"Ann...... Anne...... "Regner couldn't help but be a little stunned as he looked at the shadow not far away.

And Erin, who was on the side, couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Annelot, she heard Regner talk about Annelot's beauty. But knowing what she had seen with her own eyes, Erin really understood what Regna meant by the phrase "She is the prettiest girl I have ever seen". Anne Lot's appearance completely exceeded Erin's imagination, not to mention that she was compared to her, even the innocent and lovely Innellis would lose a little color when standing in front of Anne Lot.

Erin looked at the beautiful frost girl not far away with mixed feelings, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself. She touched her furrowed face with some pain, and then pulled the corners of her mouth to reveal a wry smile.

Not only Erin, but also those close to the arena on the field saw the face of the second contestant. The men all let out a frenzied cheer, but no one dared to say anything presumptuous here because of their status as a magical advisor to the Annelot's Court Mage Guild. And many women have been looking at the girl mage in the center of the venue with jealous eyes.

But as the person concerned, Anne Lot didn't care about the emotions of the people around her at all, she just looked coldly at the assassin not far in front of her, and she had heard a lot about the past two days. Especially the guy in front of him, named Negrella, who was very outstanding in the preliminaries. At the last minute, he sneaked up on a Tier 12 Ranger and earned a large number of badges to reach the round of 64 with the first place in the preliminaries, and that Ranger was named Vera Tricker.

"I didn't expect my first show to be with a beautiful lady like you. Negrella bowed gracefully, and then said, "Don't worry, I am very gentle with beautiful ladies, and you will not be hurt too much, this is a gentleman's promise to a beautiful lady." ”

Annelot looked at the smug assassin in front of her in silence, but she was thinking about a question repeatedly: should you completely abolish him?
