Cousin Shirley, on the other hand, is not related to her aunt, but was born to another wife of her uncle.

It's a pity that the woman is blessed, and her health has been poor since she was pregnant with Shirley, and she died of a blood collapse during childbirth.

Because of difficult childbirth, Shirley's body has been very weak since she was born, and she was treated as her own by her aunt and took care of her for more than a month before she came back to life.

After that, he was raised by himself, and the relationship was excellent, even closer than his son Robert, more like a mother and daughter.

"You'll stand in front in a moment, dealing with our cousin. Bruce whispered.

"Huh?" Philip looked at him quizzically, what's the matter.

"You'll know in a moment that you've always had a better way of dealing with women. ”

"......" Philip suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, and had a little ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the ominous premonition was soon fulfilled.

Cousin Robert looks very similar to his uncle, with the same round face, the same elegance and affinity, but those big eyes are very similar to his aunt, and he has a faint sense of righteousness, which is a good material for being an official.

Maybe it's because he's a lot older, he's still a little reserved in front of the brothers, and he's not close enough.

But this cousin, Philip finally understood the meaning of Bruce's words just now, and he was indeed very individual, even if he was difficult to digest for a while.

The Shirley cousin is only a year older than Bruce and three years older than Philip, and is now in her fourth year at the Royal Academy.

It's nothing, but the major she studied is very different, so different that Philip thinks that there is no such sport in this world, women's competitive swimming.

He has short and crisp red hair, angular cheeks, like carvings, broad shoulders and broad back, long hands and feet, muscular, strong and powerful.

If you listen to these descriptions alone, you are likely to confuse her with the gender of that Robert's cousin.

The same is true in terms of personality, Shirley hugged the brothers in her arms as soon as they met, and almost suffocated them to death in that not great but solid chest.

Even through his clothes, Philip could still feel the developed and hard pectoral muscles, which seemed to be no worse than himself and Bruce, and he also smelled the unique smell that belonged to the Awakened.

WHAT MADE THE BROTHERS EVEN MORE STUNNED WAS THAT AFTER THE WARM GREETING GIFT, SHELLY TOOK OUT FOUR BOTTLES OF SPIRITS FROM THE WINE CABINET, AND SLAMMED THEM ON THE TABLE WITH A "DUANG", AND PHILIP FELT THE LIGHTS SHAKE A LITTLE.

She sat there with one bottle in her hand, opened the cap neatly, and said to the brothers, "Come, one bottle per person, it's not enough." I've heard my mother say a long time ago that the men in the south drink a lot, let me see today if it's really a little better than the group of sissies in the imperial capital. ”

Philip shook his head at Bruce secretly, meaning: "You Turner told me this is a woman?

Bruce nodded with a look of generosity, as an elder brother, he had to stand up at this time and be the first to rush forward.

The aunts were not surprised by this, and seemed to have been used to it for a long time.

She just slapped Shirley on the ass and said with a smile, "Naughty." ”

Uncle White and cousin Robert drank low-alcohol ice wine with a relaxed face, ate side dishes, and watched the excitement with relish.

The wine was dry, the only thing the Snape brothers remembered that night.

Eventually, they were carried into the room, and as for how they took a bath and how they got into bed, they had no impression at all.

It seems that Cousin Shirley was dismissive of the brothers' drinking, but she was still very satisfied with their drinking guts, and passionately planned to fight for three days.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, Philip and Bruce were only given four days off to spare, and he and Bruce had to go to the organizing committee the day after tomorrow to report and start familiarizing themselves with the venue and adaptation training.

After saying goodbye to their aunt's family, the brothers fled back to the hotel in embarrassment in the eyes of their uncle White's banter and their cousin Shirley's reluctant admonition.

There are two venues for the competition, one in the championship area and the other in the Dutch area, and the two arenas are large enough to accommodate 40,000 people.

In fact, there are five arenas in the imperial capital, but the other three can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, and they are all located in the lower city, and the surrounding environment is complicated, which will put a lot of pressure on the security work.

The Green Tree Vine Intermediate Military Academy was arranged in the Green Light Arena in the Dutch Division, and on the periphery of the arena were a series of more than a dozen large hotels, which was enough to accommodate dozens of participating teams.

The security of the hotel does not have to worry about Philip, and it can be said that when you get here, it is no different from arriving at your own home.

Because the Gaowei Hotel where they live is a joint venture between several powerful families in Gaokan City, and it has been in operation for decades.

This time, several young masters of the family came, which made the person in charge of the hotel in high spirits as if he were facing a great enemy.

Not only did all the VIP rooms be emptied three days in advance and cleaned spotlessly, but nearly 100 bodyguards were temporarily dispatched to block all the surroundings of the hotel.

I am afraid that this group of delicate and expensive young masters will be a little frightened or wronged here.

At this moment, several teenagers and teachers with the team are sitting in the luxurious conference room of the hotel, and they are making pre-game deployments.

Vice Chancellor Taryn asked Wesley to distribute the materials to everyone, while he himself stood in front of the whiteboard and gave a detailed introduction.

"In this competition, a total of 239 intermediate military academies nationwide have registered, which is the most in the past 20 years.

But after layers of selection, a total of 48 colleges finally gathered in the imperial capital to compete for the final honor.

It is worth celebrating that all three of our three intermediate colleges in High Cannes City have made it to the finals, which is enough to prove that we are leading the way in teaching military skills. ”

As soon as the voice fell, all the teachers and students burst into warm applause and felt honored.

Although Hanoi Tower Academy is not outstanding this year, it is an old powerhouse after all, with a deep heritage, and the qualification is already between the two.

And the Rackelson Academy, which is composed of civilians, was able to stand out under the encirclement and interception of many strong opponents, which was somewhat unexpected by everyone, and it was definitely a surprise among surprises.

The Wardsman Empire, in addition to the imperial capital, had four major provinces.

According to the comprehensive military strength of the major provinces, the corresponding places were allocated.

Among them, the southeastern province where Gaokan City is located has increased by 2 promotion places this year, with a total of 16.

The Green Tree Vine Academy, where Philip attended, was directly escorted to the finals because of the Awakened in the team, according to custom.

The remaining two colleges in Coccon City, Hanoi Tower and Rankelson, won two of the remaining 13 places through the selection competition in the southeastern provinces.

The other two guaranteed places were divided between the Longdi Intermediate Academy and the Machipu Intermediate Military Academy in Vila Di City, which are across the mountain from Gaokan City.

Among them, the Dragon Flute Academy is the academy of the children of the Dragon Lance Legion stationed in Verdi City among the four major legions of the Empire.

With a total of more than 5,000 teachers and students, it is a huge comprehensive college that offers not only military and martial arts courses, but also cultural, political, scientific and other disciplines.

The Machipu Intermediate Military Academy, on the other hand, is composed of the children of the remaining three masters of Vera Di City, and it is as strong as the Green Tree Vine Academy.

This year, there is an awakened person, 18-year-old Steven de Blazer.

Hearing the name, Philip and Bruce looked at each other and both frowned.

It's really because of this name, they have heard it too many times in the past few days since they came to the imperial capital.

Almost every old friend or ally of their family has mentioned the next generation of the Blazer family's heir who is beginning to show his edge several times.

Although it is not yet known what the specific awakening ability of this teenager is, being able to awaken at this age alone already represents his excellent talent.

And his father was none other than the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Demon Tiger Division in Vila Di City, Viscount William de Blazer.

Compared with Bruce's father, Francis, who is also the commander of the First Brigade of the Wild Lions, he seems to be more respected and recognized by everyone.

It is said that there are already rumors that in a few years, William will be promoted to the earl and gain the power to form a division of titles.

It was a watershed moment, and if that time had come, the Snape family would have been at the bottom of the fight across the board.

The feud between the Blazer family and the Snape family goes back to the old Brad Sr. when he was a teenager and was related to Philip's great-grandfather.

After decades of layout, the Blazer family now has Roland, a senior civilian official under the Ministry of Industry, and a powerful brigade commander in a border city.

In addition, the family is good at management, and it is considered to be the leader of the new aristocratic group, which can be described as a monstrous power, and it is a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Snape family.

Before coming to the imperial capital, Brad explained these situations to the two brothers in detail, and promised that everything would be arranged so that the brothers would not be left alone in danger.

But the young and vigorous brothers are thinking about how to try each other's genius boy's pounds and taels on the field first.

Taryn continued on stage, "Of the 48 teams in this tournament, in addition to 42 from the four major provinces of the Empire, the other 6 are from the Imperial Capital, including the 20th consecutive champion, the Royal Academy.

Due to the large number of teams participating this year, the format and schedule have changed to a certain extent.

Except for the Royal Academy, which directly advanced to the top 6, the remaining 47 teams will be shuffled and divided into upper and lower halves to determine the five winners.

The top six will then be drawn between the upper and lower halves to determine the top three.

In the end, the three teams will play a single round-robin, and if the result of the match is one win and one loss, the small score is calculated, i.e. the team with the fewest points wins. ”

Taryn paused, looked at the group of boys in front of him, and said coldly: "Your task in the first stage is to win two rounds of the group stage in the second half of the region.

If you can make it to the final Triwizard Tournament, it means that you will have to compete in six tournaments in just over a month.

This is a great test of your physical strength.

So, I would like to announce the discipline during the competition.

First, alcohol is not allowed.

Second, I am not allowed to find women, and I am holding them all back. It's you, Randall, and the smile, you know what you've done the first two days.

Third, I am not allowed to eat outside food and water, and even if I am dying of thirst and starvation, I must be rolled back to this hotel and die.

You'd better treat yourself like a three-year-old baby and stay honest in your hotel room.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind kicking your ass, do you understand?"
