Chapter 179: On the eve of the upheaval
This day will be a day that many people will never forget
However, when the day first arrived, for the residents and visitors of the city of Goloveto and its vicinity, it was only the opening of the Celestial Ball Tournament
The stadium, which was completed yesterday, has already begun to be put into use after full testing, and unlike when Sivi first visited, the stadium at this time is no longer as there were only two spherical fields and a straight column as before
Around the spherical arena, there are many rings around the arena, which are second only to the staterooms for first-class seats, and can also be seen up close......
In addition, the previous columns have also changed, and three huge billboards appear overhead to form a triangular prism, each side is white on a black background, showing the current time, and when the game starts, the pattern on these boards will become the score and basic situation of the two arenas
By the way, these white ones are actually just a lot of squirrels-like monsters, which can be trained to form a variety of neat lines in a short period of time according to the instructions of the trainers, and will stand out against the black billboards
Of course, whether it is the manufacture of floating ring seats, or the hiring of those monster trainers, the price is definitely not cheap
This Celestial Globe Conference is more grand and prosperous than ever
Those chambers of commerce, which span many countries and have a total wealth that has even reached the level of a rich country, have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and in just a few days, with the convenience of the Wizarding World, they have really built a majestic arena out of thin air
Of course, they didn't just burn more money, but used the Celestial Ball Contest as a gimmick to make as much profit as possible to make a name for themselves in the Chamber of Commerce
It is precisely because of this that after the arena was built, they also threw in a large amount of money that could make the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Julian Empire feel ashamed, and advertised not only to the Eulian Empire and its surrounding areas, but to the entire Pan-Human Integration Alliance
This kind of advertising proved to be very effective, and many countries in the Eastern Plains appeared to visit Golovito, and for a while, Golovito, which was originally a commercial city and was not well known, immediately became popular
The large number of tourists, in turn, once again drove Goloveto's already stagnant economy, and the soaring taxes made the lord smile crookedly, and kept bragging about his wise decision to the other lords
In this case, at the same time, Sivi ushered in his fourth month in this world
However, compared to the pointer pointing to 5, there is now something more worthy of his attention
"So I'm just trying to get a little bit of a plan out of the Night Nobles from others," Sivi tried to explain to his three students and one of his teachers, "If you go together, it will only arouse the suspicion of the other party and increase her wariness."
Okay, although Xiwei thinks that a few more people will make Shalan's stupid girl suspicious or something, it's a bit too nonsense, with this IQ, it is estimated that she will not be deceived by herself, but because today is the first day of the Tianqiu Competition, the tickets have long been fired, and even Xiwei has spent a lot of money to entrust the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce to help get two tickets Now if you want to give the four of them supplemental tickets, even if the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce has hoarded some tickets, I am not afraid that there will be no tickets to make up, But if you want to eat so much in one bite, it is estimated that Xiwei has to take out some equipment and put it on first......
"Besides, you have just taken the strange sweets (that is, those few bottles of potions), and the quality and quantity of mana have increased a lot, at this time, you should hurry up and consolidate it, and it is not too late to play when your magic level is stable" Xiwei looked at the girls' faces with a little loose expression, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue...,
"Since the teachers have said that......" Alyssa looked at Xiwei, conflicted for a long time, and then pouted and said unwillingly
Although the girl still has a little bit of a problem with the reason why Xiwei went out, she is still obedient because of the unshakable trust in Xiwei that she has cultivated from the beginning
"It doesn't matter if I don't go," Alice said from the beginning that she had little interest in the Celestial Ball Tournament, and the maid girl seemed to want to sweep the castle more than this
It's just that the little goblin's miraculous cleaning skills are probably going to disappoint her who is full of energy
Theo didn't speak, but one of them was holding Sivi's coat by the horn
Because they had just met again, the little girl didn't seem to want to part with Xiwei
"Theo, obedient" Xiwei touched the little girl's long light blue hair, and persuaded softly: "I'll be back soon"
The girl's bright yellow eyes narrowed, showing a hint of enjoyment, and rubbed her forehead against Sivi's, but when she heard Sivi's words, she immediately shook her head and refused
"Why don't you want us to go with you?" Sophia looked at Sivi's performance, her eyes flashed with a suspicious look, and she asked in a slightly funny tone towards Sivi, "My dean?" β
Although the girl's tone sounded a bit like a joke, Xiwei knew that what the girl was thinking was probably not so simple
You must know that Sophia, who has been soaking in the gallery, already has a scholar-level knowledge reserve, but at that time, because she had hardly been to places other than her home and academy, her experience was almost zero, even if she had a treasure trove, it was useless, and although this experience was not long, as a recognized captain, her experience had grown rapidly, and now she could no longer be the same as her in the era of Julian Academy
"You have too much heart," Sivi replied with a wry smile, and he touched Tio, who still refused to leave him, and said to the girl honestly, "Because I can't buy tickets anymore, I can't sit inside and watch the ball game and let you run around outside, right?" Quite a few words"
"Oh?" Sophia looked at Xiwei for a long time, and then nodded: "That's good"
Anyway, I'm going to explain this kind of thing to you, are you my mother...... Sivi looked at the girl's guardian-like expression, and couldn't help but scold herself
Finally, after giving Theo a lot of snacks and other things, the little girl agreed to leave Sivi for the time being
After Sivi rode the Tassel Falcon towards Golovito, Sophia summoned all the others
"Sister Sophia, is there something wrong?". Alyssa, who had been interrupted from meditation, asked curiously
"Call me Teacher," Sophia emphasized at first, holding her breasts, which were not much bigger than Elisa's, before she said what she really wanted to do: "Let's go and follow Syvi!" β
"Huh? Is Miss Sophia going to stalk the teacher? βγ Alice covered her cherry mouth in surprise: "But it doesn't seem like a good thing to do, right?" Quite a few words"
"I think it is necessary for us to investigate the dean's personal circle and prevent people with unknown motives from approaching the dean," Sophia said with a righteous awe, and asked casually: "What do you say?" β
"IβI think so!" Probably because of Sophia's words, Alyssa also tried to justify her actions: "Never let those who are not inconsistencies approach the teacher!" β
"Aha......" Alice couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the two people who were full of fighting spirit
The person who married Miss Alyssa and Miss Sophia must have a hard time The little maid thought so in her heart, but she still didn't say it after considering her personal safety
"Can't catch up" At this time, Tio suddenly said in a sullen tone: "Can't catch up with Sivi"...,
Teo, who is good at using wind elemental magic and is petite, has the fastest speed of all because of her extremely high affinity for the wind element, and now she can even glide in the air for a short distance without any spells.
But the speed of the swift falcon is not a joke, not to mention that it is just Theo, who has just advanced to become a beginner magician, even if the little girl is promoted to the middle level, if there is no special method, it is far inferior to the swift falcon in terms of linear speed
The others are even worse, not to mention catching up with Sivi without help, they can't even leave the empty island (because the temporary worker leprechaun has been removed, so the airport has not yet been built)!
"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up" Sophia didn't care, and shrugged her shoulders very calmly: "Anyway, the place where Xiwei is going will know from the beginning"
That's right, the reason why Sivi went to Golovetto was just to join up with Elina Sharan, and his final destination was the arena not far from the city, so even if he couldn't catch up at first, it didn't matter, as long as he went to the Celestial Ball Arena and waited, he would definitely be able to wait
"That's not the problem, is it? "A lot of words," Alice held up, and asked Sophia like a schoolboy, "How are we going to get out of here and get to the other side of the arena before this?" β
"That's a good question, Bannings!" Sophia called Alice's last name as usual, and she looked to the side as if she was introducing something: "At this time, we have to invite our Franconia?" Mr. Stan, everyone applauds~"
Because of the number of people, the applause was sparse, but a certain skeleton in a layer of skin still walked out of the hallway
It was expressionless, staring at Sophia with a pair of prosthetic eyes, and staring at the corpse-like Franconian without fear
Franconia sighed at the last moment, and turned the screw on the side of his head on his right hand and twisted it in a click
The other girls except Sophia also took a step back with this movement, swallowed their saliva, and kept a certain distance from Franken
"Is there anything wrong with me coming out?". Franken's tone sounded a little helpless, and its prosthetic eyes swept over the girl in front of him, and said slowly: "Declare in advance, I will never do anything that is unfavorable to the dean."
"Don't worry, we didn't do anything bad to Xiwei" Sophia raised her delicate eyebrows and replied without hesitation: "As long as you can send us to the arena of the Celestial Ball Competition, it should be very easy for you who are already a senior mid-level magician, right?" Quite a few words"
Franken's strength is actually comparable to that of a high-level magician, but like Sivi, it is still only at the mid-level level in terms of energy level
But even if it's only mid-level, no matter what kind of elemental magic you're good at, there's nothing wrong with sending a few girls somewhere
But apparently Franken had no interest in helping
"No," Franconian shook his head and refused without changing his tone, "Regardless of whether this is a disadvantage to the dean, I don't need to help you do this."
Rather than helping these little girls mess around, it is more attractive to be blamed by Xiwei or something, or stay in the laboratory to do a few more experiments
It turned around and tried to get out of here
But Sophia apparently didn't let it go so easily
The girl leaned into Francon's ear and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear, "So how about I keep a secret for you in exchange?" β
Franken paused, turning back to look at Sophia
Even if it didn't ask the girl what the secret was, but nine out of ten of this secret was that Sophia had guessed its body...,
Seeing that Franconia seemed to be intimidated by the threat and was thinking about whether to help, the girl took out another bargaining chip
"So do you still want this?". She took out a blue-covered notebook from her magic guide and waved it towards Francon, "I'll give it back to you if I promise."
It was given to her by Sivi, and the experiment records left by Francon before, which described a lot of alchemy experiments in addition to magic experiments, should be useful to Sophia in Sivi's mind
When Sophia guessed Franken's true identity, she made a copy of the contents of the notebook and used the original manuscript as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Franken
Franken's two prosthetic eyes stared at the shaking notebook in a movement that defied human physiology, and he himself replied without hesitation, "Deal"
ββCatherine Hotelββ
"Well, that should be fine!" Sharan dressed herself up carefully and then walked to the window with a sweet smile, playing with the beautifully wrapped box containing a gift for Sivi, holding her cheeks, and absentmindedly looking at the fine sand falling from the thousand-year-old hourglass on the table
Just as the girl was ready for all the preparations, the change happened when Sivi came
It was as if she had suddenly fallen into a drowsy look, and her whole body lost her balance and leaned forward
When she stabilized her body and raised her head again, there was a faint hint of gold in her pupils
"Kim, what are you doing!" In the floor-to-ceiling mirror not far away, Shalan's reflection was desperately patting the mirror, shouting at her, "Give me back your body!" β
"This can't be done" occupies the gold of Shalan's body? Alucardo's face was proud: "My stupid sister, the reason why I was able to seize control of my body so easily is because you are to blame."
"What......" Sharan stopped looking at the mirror, surprise written all over her face
"To do that kind of chore for the sake of a human being who condescends to be a vampire royalty...... Hmph, forget it, if you hadn't been tired for so long, I wouldn't have been able to gain control of my body so easily, and it's a shame that you could have been vigilant all the time yesterday."
The smug smile on Kim's face turned into a mocking look on his face
"Did you stop moving yesterday just to lower my alert......" Sharan finally understood
She bit her lip, and after a while, she gave in and lowered her head to her younger brother: "You give me back control of your body today, in exchange, how about I let you control my body for a period of time after that?" β
"I refuse" The mocking smile on Kim's face became more unscrupulous: "I didn't come out today to have fun like before"
As he spoke, he picked up the gift box on the table and removed it despite Shalan's loud resistance
Inside was not the pink chain that Sharan had seen since yesterday, but the silver chain with the most pendant of the blue orb that she had seen before that
"Oops~" Jin pinched the chain inside, and the powerful flesh of the vampire's physical strength was instantly like crushing a piece of tofu, crushing the pendant orb, and even the silver chain was broken, and then he said pretendedly: "I accidentally slipped ~ The things made by humans are really fragile, just like themselves~"
"Kim! You guyββ! Sharan was furious, and kept hammering the mirror, obviously it was just a reflection, but it really made the mirror make a slight thump sound!
But that apparently didn't stop Kim's moves
He pulled open the drawer beside him and pulled out a short black dagger from it
It was the dagger, one of the Seven Magic Tools
"What do you want to do, Kim!" Shalan's angry roar echoed through the empty room, causing Kim to frown
If it weren't for the sound insulation of the rooms in Catherine's Hotel, I'm afraid that the neighbors would have to come to the door now...,
"That human mage seems to trust you, what do you think would happen if I used your example to sneak up on him?" Kim swung the dagger in the middle of her right and gave Sharan a wicked smile
A chill rushed down Shalan's back to her brain, and the whole person froze as if she had fallen into an ice cave
"Do you think it's better to stab him in the heart with a dagger and watch the look of fear on his face as his soul is drained little by little, or cut his throat and watch him struggle, but his vitality still flows away little by little like despair?" Seeing Shalan's reaction, Kim smiled even more
"What are you doing for ......" Shalan's voice was low, making Jin a little strange: "Why do you want to do this kind of thing, do you hate humans?" Or is it that I'm afraid I'll fall in love with humans, that the blood of vampire royalty can't be defiled or something? β
"How is it possible, what does that kind of thing have to do with me" The smile on Kim's face was bright, but it was different from Shalan's smile, the latter's smile was able to make people feel happy, while the former was full of malice: "I just want to see you desperate, my sister This is the highest pleasure for me!" β
"I see," Sharan looked up, her eyes already blood-red
"What are you doing, don't ......" Before Kim could finish speaking, he was horrified to find that his right hand holding the dagger had lost control and plunged the dagger into his lower abdomen!
"Uh......h You're up! Feeling the sharp pain coming from his lower abdomen, Jin shouted into the floor mirror in a gaffe: "This thing is uncontrollable, not only me, you may also be sucked away by this!" Do you want to kill yourself! β
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it so much" Although the soul felt the feeling of being pulled by something, there was no wavering expression on the girl's face
"You this!" As a non-native, Jin was even more unbearable, and Sharan could already see that his eyes were a little distracted
"I'm sorry, I'm not" The girl said without remorse: "It's just a fool" Welcome to come, your support is my biggest motivation......,
