Chapter 178: A Lively Day

This year's heavyweight individual bout was far more intense than previous quarterly bouts.

Liana, who was the only female heavyweight who was originally very popular and favored, and who was also not dominant in weight and strength in heavyweight events, and relied on continuous attacks, dexterous speed and powerful explosiveness to defeat her opponents to achieve a landslide victory, was stopped in the quarterfinals by facing Passas, who is also a technical player with her, but has obvious advantages in strength and endurance.

Berion, who is closer to the traditional demon warfare method and relies on strength and oppression to take countermeasures, was unexpectedly defeated by Marcel, the former captain of the city gate guard who had studied in Valhalla for a year. Berion undoubtedly has no advantage against Marcel, who has learned the dragon's breath and can cast buff spells on himself, and his "wound for injury" style of play may have the opportunity to kill his evenly matched opponent in actual combat. But in the game where the score was decided, Marcel, who had a degree of advance and retreat, always held the initiative in the game, which made the impatient Berrion finally lose by a big score, and he didn't even play all five games.

If there is one of the most surprising "dark horses" in this heavyweight event, it is Lucien, who has always been on the edge of people's vision as a temple guard. Originally, most people were not optimistic about Lucian, after all, he had not even participated in the training of the Andrarui Guard, and had been living a quiet and boring life in the Dark Temple. Unexpectedly, the "Dark Templars", who devoutly fulfilled their vows, were like those who served the goddesses, and during these two years, they had accumulated a deep blood-colored mixed magic by "spending time and night" with artificial blood pools. In addition, he has never let go of his requirements for himself on weekdays, and he will do non-stop physical exercise every morning and evening. Although he lacked actual combat experience because of his solo practice, the "Crimson Touch" that he used with his blood-colored magic power defeated many powerful opponents with dragon breath skills along the way, making up for his lack of experience in the opponent little by little during the competition, and finally unexpectedly reached the semi-finals!

"After seven rounds of intense competition, the five judges discussed and came up with the result of our best match today - Lucien scored a total of 122 points and Passas scored ...... 147 points!" The young dwarf who was the host held the resonant amber in his hand, and the two gray eyes that looked at the result of the match in his hand widened, "Let's congratulate the Passas players on qualifying for the finals! and thank Lucien for the wonderful match! Then the annual heavyweight championship of the Andrarui region will be decided between the Passas and Marcel tomorrow afternoon, let's all look forward to the exciting matches to come!!"

......

Goliath distracted herself from the bowl of fish, and even her partner, the big-headed bird of prey named Abion, ate her share of food and stuck her head into Eric's bowl to grab it.

"What are you thinking, Golia, are you supposed to take care of it? This guy is getting more and more unruly now!" Seeing the braised pork in his bowl being picked out and swallowed by the sharp-eyed flat-haired beast one by one, Eric seemed to have lost his enthusiasm for lunch.

"Who are you going to vote for tomorrow's game?...... It's extremely rare for me to bet on all of them from the top 16, and Your Highness promises that those who win all the bets from the top 16 onwards will get a mysterious prize!!"

The so-called competition guessing is just an entertainment method set by Andre in his spare time, including the top 16 competitions of lightweight, special weight, and weight, and one silver leaf corresponds to one weight event, and each person is limited to one guessing card. The reward for guessing a single game is just a snack provided by Andrarui during the match, but the more times you guess the outcome of the match, the richer the final reward will be. Because the benefits of betting and payouts are nothing more than a joke, this lottery-like gadget is at best a game-fueling entertainment.

"You've already won the Grand Prix of the Lightweight Tournament of the Year, so why do you care about these gadgets?" The prize for the winner of the Lightweight Ranger event will be a magical longbow made from the branches of the Specialized World Tree and crafted by the masters of Garlanord, which may seem inferior to a relic like Garlanord's seed, but it is definitely a coveted piece of equipment for a Ranger...... Although the masters expect the completion time to be about half a year away.

"Manna who only guessed one wrong game in the lightweight tournament has won an infinitely surprising prize!" At the mention of the lucky little goblin, the distress in Golia's eyes instantly turned into envy, as if compared to the prize of the little goblin, the magic longbow made from the branches of the sacred tree was nothing more than that.

"That's Andrarui's new dessert workshop, the amount of crystal fruit juice candy is one kilogram a week, a whole year!!" Miss Ranger's eyes were full of irrepressible yearning, "Honey, if I guess the result of the finals, do you think you will get two kilograms of free quota per week as a reward!?"

Eric sensibly did not respond to his lover's expectations, and he expected that all kisses would probably turn into sweet and sour fruity flavors from now on......

Unlike a certain ranger who is deeply trapped in the longing for candy, Mana, who has already received her lucky prize, has begun to get a little tired of candy, and the colorful crystal candy in the workshop is the size of her little face! Although it is a very happy thing to lick the candy in the beginning, if you make your whole body sticky every time you eat a snack, even the greedy goblin will inevitably slowly turn cold in her enthusiasm.

In order to make himself and his companions look more ladylike, the goblin chooses to smash the "huge" fruit candy with a carpenter's hammer, and then share the "sweet pieces" with his companions - the only problem in this wonderful process is that although each elven carpenter in Andrari, the carpenter's hammer has at least one. These delicate tools are ubiquitous, and wielding them effectively is still a burden for elves, who usually have to rely on the power of others at this time.

Having a "big man" share candy with them is actually a very happy thing for the elves, because for the elves, enjoying the delicious food is just a way to make the mood happy, and sharing the happiness with friends is what really keeps them enthusiastic. It's just that this kind of beauty of the goblins may cause irreparable serious consequences due to carelessness when they actually choose the object to share......

"Strange good Samaritan, can you break this candy for me?" Wandering around with her friends, Vana who didn't find much fun pulled out a crystal clear candy ball from her green lace waist bag, ready to motivate her lazy companions with material rewards, but there were no idle "big men" nearby to help.

A very young human tourist, who looked a little sloppy and dusty, looked left and right in surprise, and saw that there seemed to be no one else nearby, and then asked with a stupid face, "Are you talking about me?"

"Of course it's you, young human, you've been sneaking this way many times when you first came over there!" Mana could tell from her little face that she was a little annoyed, "Isn't it because you're hungry for sneaky looks?

"......" Chris wanted to refute that he looked at it more than one more time, not because of the sugar ball in your hand, but because he was born in a human city-state and had never seen such a wonderful life as a fairy that only appeared in rumors, and considering that telling the truth would make him look very impolite and as if he had bad intentions, so the young human adventurer had to be reluctantly labeled as a "glutton".

"Is that just going to knock it down?" Hiro asked, holding a small hammer, uncertain to the elves with anticipating faces.

"Please wave this hammer of fate firmly!~" The elves proclaimed loudly with extremely reverent expressions, "What wonderful pieces this sacred food will break into are all from the will of the goddess!!"

The young man giggled awkwardly, and only seeing it with his own eyes made him sure what was different from the rumors - the elves were rare creatures of cautious and shy nature, and it was said that those who were lucky enough to see them would be surrounded by good fortune for a while!

Twittering and distributing pieces of candy, Manna suddenly became interested in the strange human in front of her, "Have you just arrived in Andrarui?

"Yes, Lovely Miss Leprechaun. I'm Hiro Clemmonson, and I've heard of the bustling Andrari's adventurous adventurers, and I'm looking for a suitable job here, I wonder if you fairy elves have any good advice?" Hiro introduced himself generously, ignoring his slightly embarrassed dress, and from the perspective of bearing, he didn't feel very much like those ordinary adventurers who relied on swords to make a living.

"I'm Mana. The cute fairy lady took the candy shards from her companion's hands and stuffed them into her mouth, causing her already round little face to bulge suddenly, "Andrari's job is much older! Why don't I take you around the city?"

For Miss Fairy, who has a happy life every day, introducing the prosperity of Andrari to outsiders is like sharing her most precious treasures with them. His Royal Highness André is her best friend, and his town is as if it were her own, and Manna sincerely hopes that others will feel as much about this wonderful and happy city as she does.

The elves giggled and flew up and down the young human adventurers, and even the residents of Andrarui, who were a street away and had long been accustomed to the noise of the elves, couldn't help but put down their work and smiled at their fancy "dance".

Hiro, who was in the center of people's attention, had an inexplicable wonderful feeling in his heart...... Maybe luck is really about to start taking care of you?

"Open your mouth, Hiro. Manna was almost touching the young human's face, the buzzing of her transparent wings gently blowing on his face.

"Hmm?...... Ahh......h Sweet and sour, like the taste of golden oranges in autumn in my hometown.

"Is it delicious?" Mana's shy expression made it seem as if she was looking forward to the other person's answer.

“...... Delicious!"

"So are you mentally ready to visit every wonder of the city?"

"It would be great if I could get my companions along. Hiro felt that he must have the blessing of the goddess in the journey he chose for this adventure, and that there must be something good waiting for him not far ahead.

"Then what are you waiting for, go gather your companions!" the enthusiastic goblins can't wait to lead the way.

- Even many years later, when young human adventurers recall this wonderful encounter, they still smile wryly and sigh that fate has made a difference.
