72.Chapter 72
At night, on the carved bed of the castle, the little tiger burrowed through the silver-gray quilt, and poked out his little head from time to time.
Alan was called out to talk by his father, Prince Salvin, and he waited in bed alone (Tiger) - Alan had to go back to the dormitory later, so he would come over to sleep with him first.
The little tiger got into the bed and felt a little tired, so he crawled to the pillow with a snort, and lay on it without any image, and wagged his little tail behind him.
- Whew...... Whew...... It's boring to wait...... Hey...... Why does it smell so good......
The little guy sniffed his little paw first, then picked up his little fluffy tail, sniffed it carefully, and smelled a familiar milk fragrance!
Brought his little paw in front of him, licked it, licked it again - why is there only the smell of milk, but not the smell of milk?! Whew......
So when Alan walked into the bedroom, he found that the little one was engrossed in licking himself!
When it found that Alan was back, it immediately stood up, and the little short legs were sunk in the bed, and it couldn't be seen, and ran to the side of the bed, whining at Alan.
As soon as Alan walked to the side of the bed, a small hairball bouncing up was thrown in front of him, and when he fell into his arms, he fell a little heavily, and he held the little one's little ass and hugged it up.
The little tiger sat firmly in Alan's arms, and immediately stretched out his little claws in front of him like a treasure, first rubbing them lightly on Alan's face a few times, and then resting on his chin.
Looking at the little guy's sparkling little eyes, Alan held it with one hand and gently pinched its little claws with the other, without having to smell it under his nose, he already felt a trace of light milk fragrance.
When the little tiger saw that the little claw was grabbed by Allen, not only was he not angry, but he also stretched forward excitedly.
- Take a bite! Take a bite! I'm milk-flavored! Whew!
Alan smiled and kissed the little guy the forehead: "The cub is so fragrant, we're going to eat the cub, okay?" ”
The little tiger was kissed, shyly twisted its body, it rubbed the ground and jumped back on the bed, got into the quilt, only showed its little head and secretly looked at Alan, with a small appearance of "Then you come to eat me, sleep with me after eating".
Alan walked over, sat sideways at the head of the bed, put his hand on its head, and soothed: "Okay, it's not early, our cub is going to sleep, now close your eyes." ”
The little tiger obediently leaned his little paw against his head, closed his eyes very obediently, and after a while his breathing became steady and he purred softly.
Glancing at the sleeping little guy, Alan didn't get up immediately, he was waiting for Vincent to fall asleep.
At night in the castle, there is no superfluous sound, and every qiē seems so silent. Alan couldn't help but think of what Prince Salvin had just talked to him about.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"I called you alone to tell you one thing, and by the way, I asked you what you meant."
"What is the matter?"
"During the day, while you and Kyle weren't around, Villanica came over and talked to me for a while, saying that she was going to withdraw from the game and let you take her place."
"How can this be?! Her Royal Highness Villanika has always been an official member! And the mecha master in the team is Antonio's senior, and the two of them are together, and they work together tacitly......"
In the final stage of the cross-country competition, the pharmacist needs to use the specified raw materials to make the mental strength stabilization agent and the mecha booster, and it is even possible to find the materials in the field.
The mental power enhancer is better said to act on the mecha warriors themselves, but the use of mecha enhancers is to communicate closely with the accompanying mecha masters - because the number cannot be large, it can only be used on the blade! Only the Mechmaster knows where the blade is!
"When Villanica came, Antonio was there, and he had no objection to that. In fact, in the game, the tacit understanding is not only between the mecha master and the pharmacist, but also between all the team members, but in the final analysis, it is the strength that is the foundation and support. Although Villanika obtained the third-level pharmacist qualification ahead of you, in terms of the speed of progress, it is still not as fast as yours. ”
Prince Salvin paused and continued: "Maybe you all have a lot of room for improvement, but time and opportunity wait for no one. I kind of understand what Villanika means. Kyle is in the fourth grade this year, but the seven-school joint tournament is held every two years, and the next time you grow up, Kyle has already graduated and can't participate in the competition. ”
This means that if Alan can't accompany Kyle this time, they won't have the opportunity to gather in the grandest, grandest, and most authoritative game in the entire α galaxy at the same time - which will be a big pity for both Kyle and Allen.
"But in that case, wouldn't Her Highness Villanica not be able to compete with Antonio?"
"So you have to remember that this is a sacrifice that Villanika made for you, and there must be a value for the sacrifice!"
This is the first time that Prince Salvin has spoken to Alan so harshly: "If you have the confidence to do better than Villanica, then I agree with this - but if you don't have the will, and you don't have the confidence to do it, then I will advise Villanica to stay in the official team, after all, the pharmacist is not the only one in charge." ”
Alan didn't answer right away, he wanted to tell His Highness Salvin that he needed to think about it......
But it suddenly occurred to me that now that the official competition had begun, and the first round of preliminary rounds was a third of the way through, and soon the list of all the teams that had qualified would be released, and the draw for the next round would begin immediately - so urgent, it seemed that there was no way to give him enough time to think about it in the long run!
But what a big deal to replace the regular team members! It's bound to cause a huge discussion - and most importantly, does he have the confidence to stand by His Highness Kyle?
"Although I haven't had time to ask yet, I believe that Kyle's meaning must be that he wants you to go," Prince Salvin saw Allen's embarrassed face, knowing what he was hesitating, so he added: "The venue of the final round of the competition is in the Fifth Star Zone, and the participating teams will definitely pass through Ebubi, if you can go and participate in the competition together, I believe your grandfather, Duke Tang, will be very pleased." ”
Patting Allen on the shoulder, he slowed down his tone and said to Allen: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you only have to think about two questions, one is, can you go; The second is, do you want to go. ”
Can you go?
Aside from anything else, because of the existence of systematic skills, in fact, Alan Tong guò third-level pharmacist qualification is not as much luck as he conveyed to the outside world, it is more luck than strength.
In fact, in terms of practice, it is estimated that the time he took to start dealing with the third-level medicinal plants was not much shorter than that of His Highness Villanica.
Later, after three or four months of practice, coupled with the fact that the camouflage gene completely fell off during the holiday, he recovered his original genetic level, and he made a great leap in the growth of mental power, so the speed of progress was amazing!
Even if it is a more complex medicinal plant purification, he can complete it very well - however, Allen, who does not have a special mental power, has a big problem, that is, he can only complete the purification of a single medicinal plant, but he can't make a more complex synthetic agent!
It's not that non-synthetic agents can't be used at all, in fact, many single medicinal plants have the effect of stabilizing dìng, stimulating mental power or strengthening mechas, and then synthesize them through guò, and the effect is added, which can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, which is more advantageous.
Moreover, the preparation of synthetics is not only difficult, but also at the risk of failure in synthesis, and even Villanica decided to start research in this area after trying for a while and deciding to become a fourth-level pharmacist.
For the competition process of lack of materials, if you are not completely sure and barely make a synthetic, it is not as convenient and safe as a single purifier.
Among the twenty-one teams in the Seven Schools Competition, only four teams have members who have passed the qualifying qualification of level 4 pharmacists, and among them, only one or two people can successfully complete the basic synthetic.
So in terms of ability, Allen's addition will not hold back Kyle's team.
As for whether Alan wants to go - then the answer is even more yes!
Watching His Highness Kyle's first official match today, Alan was excited in his heart.
This is very different from looking at their usual practice state, he just watched the mecha battle on the screen, and he couldn't help but imagine in his mind what it would be like for them to drive a real mecha and fight freely under the blue sky!
He envied every teammate who could fight alongside Kyle - and fantasized about the day when he could protect and help his Highness in his own way.
Now this opportunity is in front of him, and he wants to seize it no matter what!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Within a week, the preliminary round of the seven-school joint competition was over.
The team led by Kyle and Chen Xu invariably chose to forfeit the second game after winning Carter's second-ranked team. As a result, both teams entered the semi-finals with one win and one forfeit.
At this point, Samuel broke the previous record because of Allen's "upper draw" and the excellent performance of the participating teams, and began to prepare for the second stage of the competition with the results of five teams being promoted.
With two-thirds of the Federation's nine teams remaining, they still have a slight advantage over Samuel in terms of total.
And this time, the most tragic Carter empire, in the end, "as expected", was eliminated by half of the players, and in the end, only three teams advanced.
Before the week-long break began, the fourteen teams had to go to the second round of draws.
Compared with the first time, the result of this draw is naturally more important!
Prince Salvin doesn't allow Kyle to keep Alan under the pressure, so Kyle goes to the draw himself, and Samuel's other captains ask His Highness to do it for him.
As a result, as the object of the "Wang" of Allen's "Wangfu", His Royal Highness Kyle once again received the cheers of the Samuel crowd - none of the five teams were grouped together, and the history of the last competition "Playing in the same room" was not staged!
However, the next news shocked everyone - His Royal Highness Villanica Samuel retired and was replaced by substitute Alan Adrington!
Although Her Highness Veranika and Salvin claimed that it was an internal adjustment of the team and that there were no personal issues involved, it caused an uproar on campus and throughout Samue! All of a sudden, the whole country was talking about it!
Some people say that Her Royal Highness Villanika is the eldest princess and should not suffer in the fifth star area......
It is also said that there is a dark curtain, and it is even said that it is a sign of discord within the royal family......
Of course, more people are questioning whether Alan Adrington is qualified to be a full-fledged player?!
Without waiting for further criticism, Prince Salvin asked Mr. Edward, President of the Royal Academy, to arrange a public class in the Department of Pharmacy, and made Allen one of the assistants to the professor.
Sensing that important information had been announced at this open class, many media outlets flocked to the meeting, and the 20,000-strong hall was overcrowded.
Private sales were strictly forbidden to the public at random, so many people were able to enter the halls of the Royal Academy and see for themselves the talent of Alan Adrington!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Alan stood next to the professor in the department, looking at the black crowd in front of him, and was about to demonstrate how to process a third-level material and make a purifier in front of 20,000 people, his heart went from apprehension to calm, and it only took more than ten seconds.
Perhaps from this day on, people will remember how the gifted teenager of the Adrington family grew up rapidly in more than two months, and soon became one of the strong supports of His Highness Kyle.
But they don't know how much effort and sweat Alan has put in for this moment today!
Seriously handling the medicinal plant in his hand, the young man's focused side face was projected on the big screen.
The hustle and bustle of the voices gradually subsided, and the people slowly integrated into a very stable atmosphere, as if it was a pleasure to hold their breath and watch his fingers roll.
When the extremely pure purifier appeared in the vessel under the medicinal plant, everyone dared not make a sound, quietly waiting for the young man on the stage to complete the first work he had completed in front of everyone!
