Chapter 190: Again and Again?
After a few hours, the shooting competition came to a successful conclusion. As in the morning race, the winners were rewarded with green-quality equipment amid the smiles of the leaders.
Kelsey and Balot, who were tied for first place, each received a fabric glove that amplified their magic.
Yes, there's only one.
Therefore, people have to think about "the prize for the first place is actually a pair of gloves, but there are two people tied for the championship, so simply split a pair of gloves into two and send them separately to them anyway, it will not affect the use, and there is no extra prize prepared".
Fortunately, after getting the gloves, the two found that the gloves were both right-handed, and the styles and colors were different, so they sincerely accepted the reward.
In order to reward a few people who had worked hard all day, Su Wen took everyone to the small private room of the third canteen and prepared a rich and nutritious meal.
As an audience, Ellie, who had a comfortable day of rest, also came here with Heidi.
Since the three members of the general department also participate in the switchback event of mountaineering in the evening, the types of food are mainly high-energy and easy-to-digest foods.
Everyone was chatting about today's game, and watching them look so bright, Marlena felt a deep sense of frustration.
She is probably the only one who is physically and mentally exhausted.
Even if Su Wen quietly released a fatigue-eliminating magic to Marina, it didn't seem to be able to soothe Marina's mental exhaustion.
"That's right, Su Wen. In between meals, Ellie suddenly said to Su Wen: "I heard some classmates saying that there are rumors of haunting on the mountain again in the night mountaineering switchback race." ”
Ellie looked at Heidi as she spoke, and received a nod from the latter. It seems that Heidi heard similar rumors.
"Yes, yes, I heard that, too!" Roland said.
"What about the specifics?"
Ellie waved her hand, indicating that she didn't sense any of the monster's presence at all. Roland and Shirley, on the other hand, began to relay the rumors.
What volunteers who set up the site have found ghosts, what materials have scratches and tooth marks for no reason, what strange noises have been heard on the mountain, and so on.
From their words, it seems that there is more than one source of this news, that is, there are multiple "real-time observers", and on the other hand, the reliability of this news has also improved a lot.
So are there really monsters lurking in the mountains?
Su Wen pondered.
Not only Su Wen, but even the three members of the comprehensive department who knew the truth, plus Barot, also looked at each other, showing great concern about this.
Could it be that there are still monsters left over from the last incident, or is it that there are monsters lurking again in the mountains of the academy?
"But tonight's game is going on as usual, and we haven't received a notice to cancel the game?
"Actually, I think it's just a rumor. Seeing that the faces of several people were solemn, Shirley enlivened the atmosphere and said: "Where are there any monsters, I don't know how many such rumors there are in the academy, for example, a staff member of the academy is actually a demon hunter who hides his identity, and some people ......actually believe such rumors."
"That's right. Roland nodded in agreement.
Su Wen pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything more.
After eating, everyone went to the foot of the mountain where the race was held.
The Imperial College is located in an excellent location, with mountains to the northwest, water to the south, and direct access to the bustling royal city of Makeno in the east.
The staff and student volunteers have already demarcated the road on the mountain in advance, and arranged for the staff to distribute ribbons as a sign of the summit at the top of the mountain, which is used as a turning point. Only those who return to the starting point with this ribbon will be considered to have completed the race.
It is worth mentioning that the founder of this sport is Edgar, who is the general director.
The Imperial College Games are a centuries-old tradition, and each president invents a project to join the games, and when he leaves, this project is replaced by the next president's project.
In the publicity release and documents above, the purpose of this sport is not only to strengthen the body, but also to pay tribute to the mountains and the land.
In fact, it's just a switchback run.
And the number of participants is not small.
At the foot of the mountain, there have been many students who participated or cheered, and Su Wen found that there were basically only three topics for these students.
The first is about the morning race, the second is about the "haunted mountain", and the third is the place on the mountainside that is not designated as a race area, but there is a fire.
It was the place where Eden had been fought, where he had died, and now, where the Second Training Ground was located.
The students, who had participated in combat practice classes, were already ready to move on to the new training ground. After all, after playing with one map for a long time, you always want to try other maps.
After smiling and watching everyone who was going to participate in the competition go to the check-in office to line up, Su Wen decided to go to the mountain to investigate himself. After all, the safety of students is at stake, and innocent casualties are not a good thing.
"Be careful on the road!" Ellie stood still, smiling and waving to Su Wen.
Su Wen hummed, took two steps, and suddenly stopped again, feeling that something was wrong.
After thinking about it, Su Wen turned around again, walked back, took Ellie's arm, and continued to walk in the direction of the mountain as Ellie cried and struggled with her face.
Seeing that her protest had no effect, Ellie put away her bitter gourd face and honestly followed Su Wen's side.
After walking a few steps, Ellie suddenly spoke: "Su Wen, why do I feel that I am getting lazier and lazier?"
"Can you still realize it?"
"Ahh Ellie admitted, thought about it again, and said, "So I don't think I'm like this, I want to think about it...... By the way, since the resurrection, it seems that after the resurrection, I can't do anything......
It turned out that Ellie, as a peasant girl, was naturally responsible for some of the family's labor, and if she didn't work, she would starve and freeze, so Ellie naturally wouldn't be lazy.
However, after being reincarnated, he inherited the characteristics of the cave worm's "house" due to the use of cave worms as a material, so it is only natural that he became like this.
"Then you're sick. Su Wen said, then bit the heavy words again, and added: "Very serious illness." ”
"Huh?!" Ellie panicked a little and subconsciously asked, "What disease?"
"Lazy cancer. ”
“......”
Ellie didn't know what cancer was, so Su Wen's cold joke didn't poke Ellie's laughter, and she was also a little embarrassed because of the stiff atmosphere she had created......
"How do you cure it?"
Looking at Ellie's serious expression, Su Wen picked her head, even more embarrassed......
