Chapter XXXV. Drawing of lots
"What a!"
I picked up the ring and was about to throw it when I suddenly stopped and looked.
A silver ring with a blue gemstone on it that appears to be ...... It's a lot of money!
"It seems like a pity to throw it away, why don't you sell it? ”
I scratched my head, I was a little difficult, what should I do? I was really reluctant to throw it away, poor people, I really can't make such a ruthless heart, I can't sell it, this is someone else's, or ...... I will never bring it, forget it, keep it.
Thinking of this, I put away the ring, lay down on the bed, and slept.
The next morning, when all of us gathered, Linda looked at it, nodded, and said, "Everyone is ready, let's go." With that, the two carriages stopped in front of the gate of the arsenal.
It's worth mentioning that I didn't see Allen, so I guess I passed it first.
On the way, Linda, John and Bowen took one car, and Ernst and I took one, and it is said that this was specially instructed by Allen to save us any problems on the road.
"Hey, what's your name. Ernst took the initiative to speak to me, but his tone and expression were haughty.
This guy knows my name, but he's still pretending to be here, hehe.
"My name is Alilujah!"
Ernst was stunned for a moment and asked, "No, I heard others call you Chen Ze!"
"Then you know and ask?"
Ernst: "......"
"Ahem. ”
Ernst coughed a little awkwardly and said, "Do you know the system of the game?"
"One-on-one promotion. I said casually.
After listening, Ernst nodded, and then, with a cold face, said: "It's a one-on-one draw, and in the first round they will avoid a district being divided together, but from the second round, whoever is drawn is whoever is drawn." ”
After listening to this, I laughed and said, "That means that how many of us may become opponents?"
Ernst nodded and said, "If we draw together, I won't keep my hand, so I hope you don't either." ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. ”
With that, I stretched, lifted the curtain, and looked out.
I hope I don't draw together, or I'm really embarrassed to do it.
About half an hour later, we came to the outside of the venue.
The so-called venue is a huge high platform, which is surrounded by iron railings outside, and outside the arena, it has been surrounded by various stalls.
"Come and see! Jerky is cheaper! The best snack to watch the game!"
"I have inside information here, including whoever you buy will win!"
"I have rotten eggs here, and I'll throw him if I don't like it!"
......
This is really selling everything!
"Let's go, I guess they've all arrived. ”
After Linda finished speaking, she led us through the crowd and into the arena, where the venue was still being set up.
"The draw will start in a while, and it will officially start in the afternoon. ”
As soon as Linda finished speaking, I saw a group of people carrying tables, chairs and benches, coming to build a platform, and in less than a minute, an audience seat with an awning was set up, and then, a group of gorgeously dressed people walked into the audience, and I saw that Allen was also among them.
"This group of people is at the heart of the empire. Linda whispered to us.
Everyone sat down, and at this moment, a man in silver armor and white robes, with a heroic face, looked around.
"Are you all here?"
"Hurry up! Let's go!" Linda hurriedly led us to the stage, and after a while, the people from the three districts came to the stage, and I quietly looked at it, this ...... Even if they're mixed up, I seem to be able to tell who's from which districts.
The people in the second district are either dejected or sneering, and in the first district, all nostrils are facing the sky, and you can pretend as much as you want, and as for us in the second district, I looked at John who was smiling at me, Bowen with a wicked smile on his face, and Ernst who was gritting his teeth at John, uh...... Forget it, our district seems to be the best to recognize.
"Introduce myself, my name is Raymond, I am solely responsible for this big competition, if anyone feels unfair, they can come to me at any time. After the man finished speaking, he glanced around, and his momentum was extraordinary.
"The Raymond family is the core family of Congress, and their family's power is second only to the royal family. Linda whispered.
"Alright! Let's start the lottery. ”
After Raymond finished speaking, a soldier walked up and came to Raymond with a black box, and Raymond saw this, took it, then turned around, walked behind him, came to a man, and stopped.
"Your Highness, please. ”
With goose-yellow skin, shriveled cheeks, and sunken eyes, this man is very thin and weak, as if he is a little malnourished, which reminds me of the time when my roommate played in an Internet café for a month in the modern world.
"Haha, okay, then I will exercise this right in my father's place. After the man finished speaking, he put his hand into the alley and began to draw lots.
"This is Carlogus, the eldest prince of the royal family, that is, the next king. ”
The prince, the next king, this ...... It's not that I'm talking ugly, looking at him like this, maybe I have to walk in front of him.
At this time, the first group came out.
Raymond took the note.
"Ernst, against Pultu!" Raymond said as Carlogus continued to draw lots.
When Ernst listened, he looked around, as if looking for his opponent, and looked down at the second district, and no one looked at him, and no one looked at him in the first district.
"Hehe, I don't know which coward didn't even dare to look at me. ”
After Ernst finished speaking, he showed a haughty expression, and I couldn't help but sigh on the side, thinking: "Brother, did you do anything immoral in your previous life?
Pultu, the one with the lowest odds on the casino list at the time.
"In the second group, John played against Finlaisel. ”
When John heard this, he stretched, smiled, and said, "Who was so lucky to draw me?"
John looked around when a man from the second arrondissement looked at him, and then ...... Immediately lowered his head.
"Haha, don't be afraid, I'll be merciful. ”
After John finished speaking, Ernst patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Friend, although I see that you are not happy, I still have to remind you that this is a battle, don't underestimate the enemy." ”
After hearing this, John smiled helplessly and said, "Hehe, you were crazier than me just now." ”
Ernst snorted coldly, smiled disdainfully, and said, "I'm crazy because I have capital." With that, he turned his face and put his hands behind his back.
"Watch my performance in the afternoon!"
Ernst's current appearance is completely like a man of the world, and I really don't know if I should remind him now......
