Chapter 1171: Selection in the Ring (2)
Chapter 1171 Selection in the Ring (2)
"I'm coming." The Fish-Man Prince's voice came from the deck. When everyone looked up, Tristan had already jumped off the deck, and landed smoothly with a click. This guy looks very bright, a far cry from the way he was so badly injured and almost dead yesterday. Seeing the fish-man prince's energetic appearance, Bediwell also let go of his heart.
Ignoring the exclamations of the other candidates, Tristan strode to the box where the draw had been drawn, grabbed a note from it, and handed it to the Knight of the Round Table.
"Prince Tristan, fourth column of the seventh group!" said Cador aloud as he read the note. Tristan's name was also played on the big screen, filling in the fourth space in the seventh group of the promotion table.
Many of the candidates present began to pray that they would not be assigned to the seventh group. Encountering a strong opponent like Tristan in the initial knockout round would be a disaster for many people.
"I heard about last night. Ignoring the reactions of the other candidates, Tristan walked over to Bedwell and muttered, "I have a lot of things to ask you, but I know you won't answer truthfully, so I don't ask." But you saved me, that's true, and I have to thank you politely. "I don't need to, it's just a favor for you." Bediwell was not at all unfamiliar with Tristan's heartless thanks, and replied coldly.
"Second place, [Hawkeye] Prince Evan, come up and draw lots!" shouted Kador not far away.
Ivan silently walked up and drew a lot. The first column of the fourth group.
"Hmph. The half-dragon youth walked back and stopped beside Tristan: "It's a pity that I can't be in the same group as you." "It's a pity. See you in the final. Tristan gave Evan a blank look, although the two of them were brothers, they didn't like each other very much. Maybe they've been looking for a chance to have a big fight.
"Third place, Rogan the Great!" continued to shout Kador.
An old man dressed as a mage walked up to draw lots. Outwardly, although the old man was over fifty years old, his body was very strong, and the muscles of his whole body were like iron, even the low-key black mage robe could not hide it. It's easy to believe such a person to say that he is a martial artist, but his title is indeed a mage.
"The second column of the first group. Logan's name appears on the schedule.
"Is the old man the third?" Albert muttered as he leaned over to Bediwell.
"No one is allowed to look like a person. Bediwell whispered. When he entered Mount Jilimanjaro, Logan's ranking was already very high, and the three-person team he was in was also the first team to enter the Volcano Palace. It's no surprise that Logan has been able to maintain his current ranking. Beddivi remembered the conversation he had with King Arthur in the battleship warehouse of Great Britain two days earlier, and Arthur had mentioned the mage who could use [Time Magic]. Looks like we're going to have to pay special attention to Logan.
"Fourth place, Silver Wolf Bediville. Kador read the material on the electronic notepad without emotion.
"Hmph" Bediwell didn't realize for a while that this silver wolf Bediwell was talking about himself, waiting for other candidates to go up and draw lots.
"Uh, Bedi?" Albert nudged the werewolf shoulder.
"Fourth place, Silver Wolf Bediwell!, do you want to come up and draw lots?!" Cador repeated irritably.
"Wait for me?!" the werewolf struck a wraith. When he noticed that the large group of candidates present were all looking at him with the same gaze, a chill spread from Bediwell's spine to the tip of his tail.
"Why would I?" Bediville, despite his doubts, stubbornly walked up and pulled the note from the lottery box. He was obviously at the bottom of the first stage exam, and he didn't participate in the elimination of the Purple Flame Dragon in the second stage exam, but his ranking unexpectedly soared to the fourth place?
"Your Majesty did it. As Bedwell passed Tristan, the Fish-Man Prince whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Is it Arthur. Bedeville finally got it. The Knight King was afraid that yesterday's adventure into the [City of the Dead] would also be counted in the points, so Bediwell added a lot of points out of thin air. However, it doesn't make much sense. The sudden spike in the werewolf's ranking will only attract the hostility and jealousy of a large number of candidates. I'm afraid the battle will be even more difficult after that.
"The first column of the first group. "The draw results for Bediwell are out.
"Damn. The werewolf cursed to himself. The first column of the first group. And the second column in the same group is none other than the Grand Master Logan. Werewolves met a very strong opponent in the first game!
The corners of the mouths of many candidates present involuntarily turned up, revealing malicious sneers. Let Bediwell, the fourth, and Logan, the third, kill each other, at least one of them can be eliminated and the other will be severely damaged.
The draw was still going on quietly and orderly, and Segrade was holding a small notepad to record the results. The results of the lottery were actually quite even, and the noteworthy powerhouses were assigned to each group - the results were so average that people felt that they were cheating, although it was obviously a note drawn by everyone's hands, so it couldn't be faked, right?
The results of the draw are as follows. Segrade only marked a few particularly powerful candidates, and the nobodies, who didn't look very good, didn't write down their names, only replaced them with ???.
Group 1:
Match 1: Silver Wolf Bediwell vs. Arch Rogan Match 2: ??? vs. Gladiator Bereld Match 3: ??? vs. ("-" means empty seats. Group 2:
Match 1: Palamides vs. ???、 Match 2: - vs. Poison Potency Beit, Match 3: ??? vs. Zhalfir Group 3:
Match 1: Sharpshooter Fharis vs. ???、 Match 2: ??? vs. Segrade, Match 3: ??? vs. Group 4:
Match 1: Evan Eagle-Eye???、 Match 2: ??? vs. Mordred, Match 3: ??? vs. Group 5:
Match 1: ??? vs. Solar, Demon Swordsman, Match 2: ??? vs. Match, Match 3: ???vs. ???
Group 6:
Match 1: Dragon Knight Doha vs. ???、 Match 2: Monster Hunter Albert vs. Giant Nimitz, Match 3: - vs. Beast Messenger Descartes Group 7:
Match 1: Monk Jodar vs. ???、 Match 2: ??? vs. Prince Tristan, Match 3: - vs. ???
Group 8:
Match 1: Viking Warrior Hillhardt vs. ???、 Match 2: Cutlass Moron vs. White Bears, Match 3: Strategist Lawrence vs. Group 9:
Match 1: Dark Elf Chanel vs. ???、 Match 2: ??? vs. ???、 3: ??? vs. ???
There were no particular opponents in groups 10 to 12, and Segrade could not recognize the names of these candidates, so they had to wait for the final results.
When all the draw results came out, not only Bediwell, but even Albert wondered. The tiger couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Elaine, the white bear. There are a total of three groups in the "Group of Death" this time, which are contracted by Bediwell, Albert and Elaine.
In addition to facing off against the Grand Mage Logan (third), Bedwell (fourth) had to defeat gladiator Bereld (seventh) to advance;
Albert (64th) was even worse, with a total of three strong opponents standing in front of the tigers, Nimitz the Giant (6th), Doha the Dragon Knight (10th), and Descartes the Monster (12th). Regardless of the order of the battle, to advance to the final, this Albert must defeat these three;
Elaine (14th) wasn't much better. First the scimitar Moren (13th), then the Viking Hilhardt (5th), and finally the intelligent opponent, Lawrence the Strategist (ninth). For Elaine, a little fool, even if he can defeat the first two opponents with brute force, the final opponent, Strategist Lawrence, is estimated to make the White Bears suffer a lot;
Palamides (fifteenth) and his son Zhalfir (twenty-second) were also frowning. They were put into the same group, which meant that they had to fight each other in the end - father and son;
Evan (second place) observed the white-haired boy named Mordred (eighth place) from a distance, and his heart was full of inexplicable unease;
Solal (11th) also appeared dissatisfied. He was looking forward to playing against the strong, but the draw placed him in a group full of weak dishes. His qualification was almost a certainty, but it also meant that he couldn't play against any strong opponents until the final [big scuffle] began.
Seeing that the candidates had already drawn lots, Kador continued: "The first round of the knockout round will start at two o'clock this afternoon, and we will bring the candidates participating in the battle to a suitable venue, so please do not leave the battleship before noon.
There are not many fixed rules for the knockout round, as long as you kick the opponent out of the ring, or make the opponent lose the will to fight and automatically admit defeat, or beat the opponent unconscious and unable to fight again, it is considered a victory.
In addition, the [――] in the event flow chart indicates that the seats are empty. Candidates who play against empty seats will win without a fight and will automatically advance to the next knockout match. Therefore, if any of you have an empty seat for the next match, you can go back to your hotel to rest after you have finished taking the exam.
Oh, and one more thing. Please take a look at the [Demon Sealing Bracelet] in your hand. Bediwell did as prompted. Only then did he realize that there was a small signal light on his bracelet, and there was a very hidden button next to the pale green signal light.
Some candidates with itchy hands can't wait to press the button.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Portals have opened one after another around the candidates!
