The crowd was in a roar!

Hundreds of people marched along the Kingdom Avenue towards the Changge Fortress amid the cheers of onlookers, like a surging tide. The police team, who acted as referees and rescuers, also mounted bicycles and followed closely on both sides of the crowd. These alternative knights, dressed in uniform and wearing bright ribbons, attracted the attention of many audiences.

The same scene also happened at the start of the Changge District.

More than a thousand people at the same time, with the same purpose, stretched their legs towards the finish line - not to escape for their lives, not to live, they vented their physical strength without worry, without thinking about the aftermath of the reward, this perverse spectacle was destined to spread the reputation of Neverwinter to every corner of the continent.

The first organized long-distance running race in the history of mankind kicked off in this new royal capital.

......

"Sister, why don't you participate?" In the finish stand, while Lance was lying on the railing and yelling, Cole turned his head to look at Edith and said, "If it's just a test of endurance, you should be able to get a place, right?"

Probably because he brought Lance over from his father, the other party has always been in a good mood recently, not only does he usually answer questions, but also avoids the price of being teased, otherwise he would never dare to disturb the old lady with such trivial questions.

"Oh?" Edith squinted at him, "What if you got it?"

"Uh-, weren't you very keen on this kind of competition?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of Northland Pearl, Cole thought to himself. In his eyes, the old lady used to be a master with excess energy, fighting with a group of knights during the day, and her peers who overturned with one hand and one sword could line up from the castle of eternal night to the city gate. And in the evening, she was the most dazzling flower at the banquet, and she was not a problem for drinking and talking, and even Tifeko remembered her after seeing her once, and her charm was evident.

Because she can be seen in most competitions and banquets in the north, she has become a household name in the local area. In the past, she would never have missed such a celebration presided over by His Majesty the King.

"Because the family used to need me to do that. Edith shrugged, "If I don't expand the influence of the Kant family soon, my father won't be able to get the duke's title—even if I have to be like a clown to attract the attention of those fools and please them." She sneered, "You don't think I like that, do you?"

Cole couldn't help but feel a chill hit his face.

"No, I'm just ......"

"But now, I don't need to sweat in exchange for His Majesty Roland's attention," fortunately, the other party did not hold him accountable for his wrongdoing, "and...... I'm not alone anymore. ”

Cole couldn't help but be stunned, "No...... Alone?"

Edith glanced at Lance, who was babbling, and then looked at him again, "I still have you, don't I?"

The chill dissipated instantly, and Cole subconsciously puffed up his chest, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Edith just smiled slightly, and then moved her gaze back to the high platform, "If you work well in the Executive Hall, that will be the greatest help to me." ”

......

"Whew...... Whoop," Gultz slowed down, "we...... How many miles do you have to run?"

"The sign we passed just now is fourteen, which means that we are only halfway there. Rohan looked worried, "Father, are you alright? If it's too much of a pant, let's stop and rest for a while, there are so many people behind anyway." ”

As the race progressed, the crowd at first was quickly drawn into the shape of an arrow, and then from an arrow to a long line, which is now no longer visible.

Obviously, there are not many people who can run for more than half an hour in one go, and from the beginning to the present, there are only a handful of runners who have surpassed them. At this pace, not to mention getting the rankings, a smooth finish should be a sure thing.

Rohan was more worried about his father's health.

In fact, it's more strenuous than crossing the desert - at least the former has no time limit, as long as you plan your route and make sure you get supplies from the oasis, you can always get there step by step. But running is different, if you want to maintain a high speed, the physical exertion will continue to increase, and my father has not done such a strenuous exercise for a long time.

"You want to give up again?" Gulz glared at him, "just because it's not the last?"

"I ......"

"If it were Luo Jia, you would never say such a thing, when will you be able to do your best for a goal like her?

If it had been in the past, Rohan would have chosen to remain silent, but for some reason, he felt a wave of depression rush from the bottom of his heart, making his chest swell uncomfortably.

How do I win?

Is it to poison the third sister's cup, or to make the news of her wolfing public?

Otherwise, how could he defeat a goddess who had gained the power of the three gods?

He can't even beat the head of the family's guard!

And if you want to sit firmly in the position of the number one clan in Iron Sand City, Rag must ensure sufficient combat power, and Luo Jia will become the best heir in everyone's eyes, which is nothing to say. But his choice to retreat silently and avoid internal strife is not an act for the sake of the clan?

Why have you never paid attention to me?

Perhaps because it was far from the South, or maybe he had been holding back too long, or perhaps because his father's dress was too weird, Rohan argued aloud for the first time, "I'm worried about your condition! If you weren't here, I'd have run to the front!"

But as soon as he said that, he regretted it.

Such words are simply laughing at the other party for dragging themselves down.

He squirmed, trying to make amends before his father became angry, but heard Gulz reply, "Then you can run alone." ”

"Father, I mean ......" Rohan tilted his head stiffly, expecting to see the other party's annoyed face, but there was a smile on his lips.

"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to reveal your thoughts, right?" Gultz sighed, "Actually, you're right, I'm really old, and no matter how majestic I was before, I can't change the effects of time." He paused, "In that case, leave me alone - you're actually good at long-distance running, aren't you?"

Rohan froze.

"There is an old saying in the clan that if you practice anything for ten years, no matter how stupid you are, you will become outstanding. Gulz paused slowly, "Don't worry about me, I'll walk slowly." ”

He clenched his fists and was silent for a moment before whispering, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Wait," Gulz called to him again as he turned, "put these two things on." ”

"Father—"

"Even if Loga leaves the Land of the Clan, she is still a part of the Furious Flame, your own sister, and we should all do our part to help her in any way. Gultz personally put the Bu'er headdress on the top of his head, "Go, let the Great Chief see what the people of Mojinsha are capable of." ”

Rohan didn't answer, he gave his father a quiet look, and then stepped away.

The wind began to flow again.

His speed was getting faster and faster, and at first he could hear the exclamations of the spectators on the side of the road, but then he was completely overwhelmed by the sound of the wind rushing in his face.

Rohan didn't feel tired at all, he felt like he could go faster.

At this moment, the body seems to be full of strength.

Father had been watching him!

In order to make the third sister's status indisputable, he endured countless criticisms - some from outside and some from within. Whenever he couldn't bear it, he would quietly leave Iron Sand City at night and run alone between the small oases. It's a vent, but he also wants to prove himself in another way: he is really not good at martial arts, but he may be able to outperform Luo Jia in other aspects, such as joint hunting. Endurance and persistence are the most important parts of joint hunting to drive away prey.

Although this idea did not come to fruition in the end, it was just that.

Rohan had thought that no one would notice this small attempt, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"You're actually pretty good at long-distance running, aren't you?"

"If you practice anything for ten years, no matter how stupid you are, you will become outstanding. 」

My father's words lingered in my ears repeatedly.

Turns out you've found out from the beginning.

Rohan sped his pace a few more times.

From the day he traveled to the oasis to the present.

Exactly ten years!
