Chapter 18: Before the Game
It's finally time to leave, Lila and I took time out of two days to take a month's vacation, and it is estimated that the other contestants are the same as us, and they also take leave for various reasons, although the senior management knows that it is not like that, but it is still okay to deceive ordinary people.
In the morning, after Victoria sent someone to inform her, Lila and I walked to the Imperial Capital Teleportation Array under the pretext of going home to visit relatives. Then we teleported to the Fortress of Cicero, the most seaside fortress of the Empire.
When we arrived, we were immediately led by a soldier. We arrived at a barracks and met Princess Victoria and Tracy in a room, as well as our headmaster, who was said to be a god-like Zedkaia. Derek.
"Ram! Lila! You two are here. When Victoria saw us, she came over with a smile on her face.
"Hello, Princess Leah!" How to say that Victoria is still a princess, just forget it in private, in front of the public here, I still give the princess face, and take my sister to the princess's luggage. "Hello Principal Zedkaia, Tracy!"
"You two came quite early, wait a little longer, no one else has come yet." I glanced at it, and it was like a conference room, and there was no one else here except the five of us. It seems that the two of us were the first.
"Don't stand, please take a seat." Seeing that we were still standing, Victoria invited us to sit down at the conference table.
There was no excuse for that, so Lila sat next to Tracy and I sat next to Lila. After a while, Lila couldn't help but sit silently like this, and began to talk secretly to Victoria and Tracy. The headmaster also turned a blind eye to their actions. I didn't have much to talk to them, so I just took out the recording crystal and started reading the books I had recorded. However, it is really a bit inappropriate to hold a recording crystal on such an occasion, and it seems that I will have to find time to make a magic book.
As time went by, more and more people came, but, uh, 100% I don't know. Does it matter, though? I want them to have something to do with each other.
In the morning, because everyone had to come here separately, everyone came here in the morning.
"Now that everyone has returned it, everyone is familiar with each other, so they must know who is who, right?" As she spoke, Victoria gave me a vague smile. Victoria knows the extent of my house, not even the princess, let alone the others.
I simply ignored Victoria's eyes. However, everyone listened to Victoria, and several of them looked at me.
Victoria also saw everyone's eyes, so she didn't have any estimates, and directly began to introduce me: "This seems to be unfamiliar to everyone, but he is still relatively famous in school." Ram, Ram. Adrian, Lila. Adrian's own brother, a magical warrior. ”
Originally, after hearing the previous words, everyone was a little better, after all, with the strength that everyone usually shows, they are all celebrities of the school, and of course everyone knows very well what famous people the school has. Hearing the latter words, everyone suddenly became foggy, it seems that Lila has a truant king, the news of the dead brother in the library, everyone knows. But then there was a wave of doubt, although it was rumored in the school that I was a magician, but there was completely information that I was a strong person. And Victoria said that I am a magic warrior, so I must be a magic warrior, not a magician, which made everyone even more later, even the principal looked at me a few more times. You must know that apart from me, the other participants here are all saint-level.
"As for Ram's strength, don't worry, I have verified it, and there is no problem at all." Victoria obviously saw everyone's doubts about my strength, but she still used such a simple sentence to cover up the past. Although everyone still has a little doubt, no one is pursuing it.
"Now that everyone knows each other, I'll briefly talk about this competition."
"This competition is divided into individual and team competitions. In the individual competition, eight team members draw lots to determine their opponents, and they play against each other in pairs until the top three are determined. In the team competition, each team chooses three people, and twenty-four people are then teleported to an island, where they fight directly, and the team that persists until the end wins. Remember, this is not a friendly match, and it is possible to be scrapped or not killed on the field, so if you feel that you can't support it, you can just throw in the towel. Speaking of which, Victoria glanced at everyone directly and majestically, and Victoria at this time was a bit of a princess.
"What questions do you have? No problem, everyone will disband now, and then we can move freely, and we will officially leave at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. After waiting for a while, no one spoke, "Since it's okay, everyone disbands." ”
Finally, nothing happened, and the people in the conference room walked out one after another. In the end, there were five of us left. I was about to get up and go out, and Victoria's voice rang in my ears again.
"Don't mind everyone's eyes. There have been times when magic warriors have participated in the past, after all, it is not always possible to find ten saint-level people. This is the most important competition every fifty years, so I tried my best to find it, and in other competitions, there was no such a strong lineup, so it was necessary to send the gold level, and there were also very powerful magic warriors in the gold level. ”
Mind other people's eyes, when have I ever minded theirs. Still, I nodded at Victoria's words. Then he got up and walked out with his sister.
After we went out, I took my sister around the city, asking about places to sell magic materials, and while there was still some time, I planned to buy some magic book materials and make a magic book, and move all the contents of the recorded crystals to the magic book. It's a military fortress, so there's a lot of places to buy materials, and it's very complete, so it didn't take long for me to sell almost everything. Then the two of us found a hotel and planned to stay at this hotel before we left.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of us rushed back to the barracks again and boarded the airship with everyone. As soon as I boarded the airship, I said hello to Victoria and went headlong into the room assigned to me. I'm going to refine my magic book.
At eight o'clock in the evening, my magic book was almost ready, and the contents of the recording crystal were almost moved, so if you want to read it, you can take it out and read it directly, which is much better and more convenient than the recording crystal. Refining this magic book didn't cost me much energy, but it was actually a trouble, after all, the capacity of this magic book refined was not as small as it was on the surface.
But in order to refine this magic book, I even refused dinner. Luckily, I still have food in my spatial ring, otherwise I'd have to go to my sister and ask for it.
For the next four days of the voyage, I went out except when I was eating, and the rest of the time I was in my own house. My sister came twice a day, and everyone else, except Victoria and Tracy twice. So when we stepped off the airship, the rest of the team looked at me with strange eyes. It seems that everyone's understanding of my home level has deepened again. Can it only be said that it is better to be famous than to meet?
Whatever, though. The principal and Victoria, as the leader of our team, led us to our villa. This place is really well equipped. Medical, training, relaxation, and more are all included. None of this seems to concern me, though.
I don't need to talk about it for the rest of the day, but I stayed in my room. This time, even the princesses were impressed with me. Only Lila, who was already very familiar with me, was not surprised.
It wasn't until the day of the race that I walked out of our villa again. However, in just a few days, there are already more people on this island. And it doesn't look like ordinary people, probably some powerful or rich people. It seems that although this kind of competition is important, there are still many spectators.
At nine o'clock, we rushed to the arena, and there was really no race, even the sea tribe came. However, the Sea Clan will not participate in this kind of competition, after all, there are too many races of the Sea Clan, and the personnel are even more terrifying, these Sea Clans are just here to see the fun.
