After dinner, Jude and Alyssa sat down at a table in the tavern hall to discuss tactics.

"The Sword and Rose Tournament is a five-person squad competition. Lucius introduced the rules of the game, "Admit defeat, lose the ability to resist, or leave the specified range of the court is regarded as a game, and you must withdraw from the competition venue and cannot participate in the battle again." If all members of one team are out, the opposing team wins. ”

"The competition is a single-elimination format...... Jude, to be honest, we actually made it all the way to the finals, and there was a lot of luck involved. "In the first few rounds, we were lucky to play against weaker teams, but in the semi-finals, our opponents didn't come to the tournament for some reason, and it was considered a waiver, so our team was able to advance to the finals." ”

"In the final, however, we will face the famous 'Radiant Oath (Shining_Oath), an elite team that has made a name for itself in the past two years. Unlike us, they beat the big teams all the way to the finals. Luczes continued, "We've been hiding it from you, Jude, and our hopes of defeating them are slim. That's why Ulrik decided to quit and go home, of course, because he was a dutiful son......"

After stepping into the world of adventurers, Jude realized that his knowledge was completely insufficient, and he had never heard of this "Radiant Oath" team: "Do you know what kind of lineup the other team is?"

"We've watched them play. Alyssa hastened to reply, "There are four men and a girl in their ranks. ”

Is there any special meaning for four men and one woman, Jude was momentarily confused.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. "The captain of the 'Radiant Oath' is B Dawn_Knight ern, the Knight of the Dawn, and the members include Nosain, Georgi, Iere, and the priestess Eris. ”

Knight of the Dawn, which sounds like a pretty powerful title, the boy asked tentatively, "This Bourne is a knight of the kingdom?"

"That's right. The son of Monel Luttesis (Mourie_Lotucis), lord of Euchedant, Berne Luttesis (Bern_Lotucis) was a young man who was knighted by the old Duke of Norberis himself at the age of eighteen. Byrne has been close to the Church of Light over the years, having been baptized by Archbishop Alphonsos Tao, whose armor and sword are bright white, and his young talent earns him the title of 'Knight of the Dawn (Dawn_Knight)'. ”

"Bourne and Elise are rumored to be lovers. Alyssa suddenly interjected, "They are said to have met in church. ”

actually knows other people's love history so well, in short, this "Dawn Knight" is very powerful and famous, Jude summed it up, and then asked: "What about the rest of the members?"

"Nosein is a seasoned swordsman, this man is very experienced, and his two-handed long knife is very aggressive and versatile, and it is difficult to parry. Armed with a short sword and a dagger, Joki is agile and adept at hand-to-hand grappling to find opportunities, surprise the enemy and win the battle. Luczes continued, "Eri is a servant of Byrne, also from an aristocratic family, with a gentle temperament, and a preference for the use of both offensive and defensive swords. Elise is the priest of the Church of Light, and is mainly responsible for healing and supporting in their team, and has no ability to fight head-on. ”

Unexpectedly, Lucius and they knew this team so thoroughly, and the young man was a little surprised: "You guys are very knowledgeable about them?"

"Marshal Hadleine Birch (Hadrine_Burch) famously said, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" I think it makes a lot of sense. Lucius responded.

But Alyssa stuck out her tongue: "Actually, it's because the difference in strength is too great, so I think about studying the opponent all day long to see if there is a clever way to win." ”

"Speaking of which, they're called 'Radiant Oath,' so what's the name of our team?" said Jude.

"'Flowers'Edge!'" Alyssa replied proudly, attracting many of the customers around her. Seeing this, the girl quickly shrank her body and lowered her head as if she had made a mistake.

The name of the team was chosen after discussion between Alyssa and Cathy. We have no problem with that. Lucius added.

-

After that, Jude talked a lot with his teammates.

The boy learns that one of the reasons the team is named is that everyone is good at using swords.

Alyssa claimed to be a ranger, skilled in both bows and swords, and swift as the wind, but her brother took this with a grain of salt.

Rowan's weapon is a two-handed broadsword, and his fighting style is as calm as his character. According to Lucius, Rowan had served in the army and was the most experienced in combat in the "Flower Blade" squad.

Cathy, who is currently absent, is a master of using the rapian, and just as Lucius is introduced, a girl with straight black hair comes to their table.

"Cathy, you're here, and I just happened to be talking about you. Alyssa quickly pulled Cathy to her side and sat down.

Jude took the opportunity to observe the girl, and found that she was silent the whole time, and her face was very poor, and she seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

Alyssa then introduced the boy to her best friend: "This is Jude, our new teammate. You don't know yet, Cathy, Jude is a mage!"

Hearing this, Cathy cast a look at Jude and tried to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Mage, my name is Cathy. ”

"Nice to meet you, Cathy. Just call me Jude. Jude greeted her, "I'm just an apprentice. ”

"Then the members of the 'Flower Blade' have gathered here. Lucius looked around at everyone, "Tomorrow is the final, let's work together to win the championship in one fell swoop!"

"Oh!" everyone applauded and celebrated in laughter.

After the applause stopped, Rowan suddenly spoke, he looked at the young man and asked, "Jude, what spells do you know?"

"yes, what spells does Jude know, can you show us?" Alyssa seemed to be interested in magic.

"Hmm......" The young man thought for a moment, then picked up the empty wine glass in front of him and whispered to it: "Ins_teron." ”

Jude lifted the glass and let it go, and the wooden glass floated down like a feather before landing smoothly on the table.

"Wow!" exclaimed Alyssa, "it's amazing!"

Lucius and Cathy also stared intently at the cup, but Rowan then asked, "What about the actual spells?"

"Combat spells aren't easy to demonstrate in the halls," Jude scratched his head, "Let's go outside?"

"There is a small garden next to the tavern, which goes out through the side door. Luchester pointed to the small door on the west side of the hall, "Why don't you go into the garden and let Jude show us?"

"Okay. The boy stood up first, "Then let's go?"
