165. Quarterfinals

"Huh? Princess Dellie is a witch? Squatting on the chair, Du Yuhan pinched the half-nibbled pastry and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Judging by her abilities, a witch is not a witch, at most a shadow mage." Kevin took an elegant sip of hot tea.

Suddenly, Du Yuhan's expression was grim, and his eyes stared at Kevin a little nervously, "She knows your identity, will she send someone to arrest you?" ”

Kevin chuckled, "If she's not afraid of her identity being revealed." ”

It seems to be right...... Du Yuhan scratched the top of his head.

"Is the princess you call a murderer?" Vic forked a large slice of animal meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Possibly."

"What do you mean?"

"There is no conclusive evidence that she is the murderer." Smeared a layer of shiny meat sauce on the bread, and Kevin sandwiched the tender sliced meat and vegetables and handed it to Du Yuhan. The thought of being able to leave this place soon lightened his mood.

Absentmindedly poking at the food, Du Yuhan fell into deep thought.

After such a series of things, the strange altars outside the city were all caused by her. Although the princess cannot be convicted for the time being, as long as he continues to follow the vine, he will definitely be able to find more clues.

But there are also many things that he can't figure out.

What did the princess go to great lengths to build such a large number of altars?

Why did she want to attack Kevin?

That mysterious high-level modeler, are they accomplices?

And the man in white.

Now that I think about it, the man in white is the most suspicious. Although Kevin's Secret Speech technique submerged into the opponent's body without resistance, it showed that he was not controlled by the power of the Shadow at all. But the man's steps were so strange that he couldn't convince himself that he was a normal person.

However, they didn't see the man's appearance at all, and it was like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea to find someone.

thought that there was an eyebrow case at the beginning, but for a while he fell into a predicament again, and he scratched his head and made it difficult to make a difference. Throwing the rest of the small piece of pastry into his mouth, he carefully savored the delicate taste and squinted his eyes in intoxication.

It's so delicious, the royal pastries can't compare to the inn's.

Seeing his lover's sad face in his eyes, Kevin poked the other party's head with his fingertips, "Eat quickly, or you'll be late again." ”

Suddenly remembering the chattering face of the vice president, Du Yuhan immediately quickly ate Hu Saihai in his mouth.

"You have a game today?" Vic looked up from his plate.

"Well, Haqiang is the next year." Du Yuhan said inarticulately.

Due to a homicide some time ago, the tournament was postponed for a while, and today is the last match of the quarterfinals. After this game, it will be the most intense semi-final.

Coincidentally, today's two players happen to be people Du Yuhan is familiar with.

"Jesse and John? Aren't they locked up? Kevin was a little confused.

"Not long after I came out yesterday, they were also released very quickly." Du Yuhan hiccuped contentedly, "I guess it's an order from the city lord, right?" ”

In fact, it stands to reason that the quarterfinals have long been over, and it is said that this was supplemented by Jesse's strong request.

"I'm going too!" Vic yelled.

"It's just a beginner game, what are you going to do?" Du Yuhan frowned.

"Didn't you say that John was a genius? I want to see what his qualifications are, can't he train if he wants to? Vic straightened his chest.

Cultivate? Look at qualifications?

You still dislike people a few days ago!

Why is it suddenly turning around now?

Du Yuhan twitched his cheeks and did not expose the clumsy excuse, "The competition in the quarterfinals is so intense, and now the tickets are sold out, where do you want me to get you a place?" ”

Vic grinned grinning, "Aren't you one of the referees?" ”

Du Yuhan: ......

Under Vic's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Du Yuhan cheekily asked Lingston for two tickets. When Ringston heard this, he immediately arranged two VIP boxes, which not only had an excellent viewing position, but also had a variety of service functions inside, which was specially designed to receive distinguished guests.

"I wonder if you're happy with this?" Ringston smiled and saluted.

Looking at this luxurious private room, Du Yuhan was covered with cold sweat, in fact, as long as there were two seats, he was satisfied.

"Very satisfied, tired."

"If you have any needs, you can press a button and the waiter will help you as soon as possible."

"Okay."

After sending him away, he had been polite to Rington, looking at the one who was curious in the room, he rolled his eyes angrily, "Satisfied, right?" ”

"It's okay." Vic snorted.

"Not bad." Kevin smiled lightly.

Du Yuhan: ......

Vic, this little kid loves to mess around, Kevin, how old are you, there have been so many games before, and I've never heard that you're going to watch the game, so why come and get a kick?!

No longer bothering with this pair of living treasures, Du Yuhan waved his hand to prepare the information.

With a smile and Du Yuhan leaving the box, the remaining two looked at each other in unison.

"What are you doing here?" Kevin raised half of his eyebrows.

"What are you doing here?" Vic snorted.

After looking at each other silently for a long time, the two retracted their gaze, found a seat with the best view, and sat down leisurely.

This match is far less important than the semi-finals. But if there is a character like "the regent's brother-in-law" among the contestants, the attention will be different.

As a result, there were two more heavyweights in the VIP table - one was Princess Deli, who loved her brother, and the other was Prince Bain, who loved his wife.

As the highest intermediate level in the competition, Du Yuhan became a companion without any suspense.

"Lord Bane, Lady Deli, please look at this curtain of light." Du Yuhan smiled and pointed to the snow-white tablet, "We have arranged peep spells all over the venue, and after the game starts, you will be able to watch the highest-definition game screen here." Not only that, but it also switches seamlessly between multiple angles, providing an all-round view with no dead ends. ”

"Well, that's good." The middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume in front of him bowed his head slightly, his meticulous hair was dark and shiny, and his eyes showed a look of appreciation, "Your monitoring is so well done, it will definitely bring a fair and fierce high-level competition." ”

Du Yuhan twitched, "This is nature." ”

In fact, it's just looking at the two hairy boys, their eyes glaring at each other, scolding each other, and their hands are not stopping to make a model, and there is nothing exciting to talk about......

"I'm looking forward to it." Bane smiled warmly, turned his head to look, but found that his beloved wife's spirit was a little depressed, "Huh? Honey, what's wrong with you? ”

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, revealing a soft smile, although the makeup was delicate and moving, but the bottom layer still faintly revealed a pale face, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." ”

Du Yuhan secretly laughed, "Madame, you have to take good care of your body." ”

Raising her head to meet Du Yuhan's intriguing gaze, Dai Li's whole body suddenly stiffened, and she barely pulled out an ugly smile, and then quickly lowered her head again, "Your Excellency Xie cares." ”

Looking down at the slightly trembling fingertips, Du Yuhan hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile instead of a smile.

Yesterday I was tossed like this by Kevin, and I was already very strong if I wasn't scared to death.

Although he was a little puzzled by Dai Li's behavior, Bane still smiled and played a round, "I'm sorry, maybe Dai Li was too nervous about this game, so she didn't rest well." I've said a long time ago that she dotes on Jesse too much, and a man should go out and hone himself in order to stand up to the sky. ”

At this time, the modeler next to him flattered, "Young Master Jesse has excellent basic skills and is diligent and studious, so there will definitely be no problem in this game." ”

"That's it, in my opinion, this champion must be Master Jesse."

"Haha, then I'll take your good words." Bane had a few more polite conversations with a few people before leading Dai Li to sit in the chairman's seat.

Seeing that Bane has been talking and laughing with the people around him, his temperament has an indescribable elegance and humility, which is very different from the cheerful and bold general image in David's mouth.

Du Yuhan was very confused.

According to David, it has become a little weird since Bane married Deli back. Although people's way of doing things will change with more experience, there will always be such a big difference in personality, right?

Could it really be that this witch did it?

His gaze wandered behind the two of them, and suddenly, he stared at the back of Bane's neck in surprise.

As a result of years of fighting, his skin was a healthy malt color, and there were several deep and shallow scars left on it. Even though the marks are very faint, you can still see a palm-sized reddish mark on the skin near the collar, which contrasts sharply with the skin next to it.

At first glance, it looks exactly like the mark I saw on John that day......

Du Yuhan tightened his brows.

What the hell is this-

Just as he was thinking, a melodious bell sounded in the distance. The atmosphere in the audience was boiling again, and everyone's faces were filled with impatient excitement.

"It's going to be, it's going to be

"God of Light, please bless Master Jesseβ€”"

"Eh, bless what, Lao Tzu bought John on the other side!"

"John, he's been participating for more than ten years, do you think there's any hope?"

"you! If you don't know how to win this one! ”

"Hahaha, don't expose him, he won't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin."

"Hahaha......"

The players sitting in the preparation room did not feel the warm atmosphere outside the stadium at all. The two people, who usually start arguing as soon as they meet, only sit upright on the chair and are uncharacteristically silent.

The thick chime echoed in his ears, and John looked down at his fingertips, which were clenched white.

It's started, it's time to begin.

A win would give him access to the semi-finals, his best result in 15 years of competition.

In the past 15 years, he has been working frugally, cutting out his meager living expenses little by little, in order to extract more and better materials.

For his behavior, others felt very puzzled. As an orphan himself, he should not have chosen such a costly profession because he had no money or power, and even President Ringston had advised him several times.

But each time John only smiled slightly, and then turned back to study the modeling technique.

He still vividly remembers the day when he followed the priest to visit the modelers' guild as a young man.

This was the first time he saw the process of making a model.

Those dots and lines emitted a white glow, dancing with their fingertips, like mischievous and active elves. At the moment of condensing into a white mold, he personally felt the magic of the modeler and was deeply fascinated by it.

It's as if I'm creating a world.

Since then, he has been determined to become a good modeler, and he has been stuck in it.

In fact, he has participated in the event for so many years, and he has also been confused. But whenever he was about to give up, he would always recall the excitement and surprise when he saw the modeling process for the first time, and finally gritted his teeth and continued to study it.

Just as he was pondering, an arrogant male voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Heh, it's finally begun."

John looked up and faced a handsome face full of vindictiveness. opened his mouth and before he could say anything, he was intercepted by the other party.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and today, I want you to lose convincingly!"

With that, Jesse didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and walked out of the arena without looking back.

The enthusiastic cheers from the door made John a little startled, his eyes darkened, his fists clenched, and he walked out of the room.
