Chapter 440: The Seven Wastes of the Pythias
In the afternoon at the Pythia Stadium, the crowd shouted like a tsunami.
"Runner King!"
"Runner King!"
Where Plato's Academy is located, the blue-eyed girl's smile is warm and sweet, and it quickly converges.
Euclid, who was not far away, frowned.
"This kid is a bit of a demon. Is it possible to become a second Aristotle? What if he is promoted ahead of schedule before I become a Saint Realm? Gotta hurry! I always felt that the two things I forgot could help me advance to Sanctuary or even Legendary! Come to think of it, think about it quickly......"
A handful of teachers, such as Nedern and Gregory, blossomed.
They raised money everywhere before the competition, and all bet on Su Ye to win, but they didn't expect that there would be a huge return so quickly.
"Ahem! Gregory, is the bet full of 50,000? Nedern suddenly raised his voice and asked aloud.
"It's full!" Gregory replied loudly.
The two men straightened their chests and looked off the field.
As long as a very small number of teachers laugh with them, most teachers and students laugh very naturally, and even a little painfully.
Or, some bet too little.
Or, some don't believe in Su Ye at all, and don't bet that Su Ye can become the king of the race.
This is equivalent to the loss of hundreds of thousands of golden eagles!
It's a big loss.
Especially seeing Nedern and Gregory smug in the spring breeze.
The losses are even greater!
The Athenian nobles stared down blankly, mouthfuls of lemon juice bursting.
What a great honor it is!
In the eyes of the Greeks, who advocate sports and fighting, every king of the race is a hero!
The king of the race is recognized by all Greece, as long as he is not convicted of blasphemy, even if he betrays the Athenian city-state, the Athenian city-state must also erect a statue of the champion king for Suye.
The statue of the Champion King is not only erected in the city-state, but also in the temple of Delphi.
Champion is one of the highest honors in Greece.
As for the championship king, there will be one in hundreds of years, or the son of Zeus will get it, and everyone basically does not exist.
In a very ordinary Gentile seat, a middle-aged man who was far taller than everyone around him sat there,
He wore a hat that covered most of his face, his whole body was sallow, his skin was loose, but his muscles were perfectly proportioned, and even if everyone could see that this person seemed to be sick, they could still feel as if there was a volcano hidden in his body, which could erupt at any time.
"This kid, I'm still looking away...... tall middle-aged man shook his head with a smile.
Su Ye walked towards the podium, but after walking for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Looking back, all the players were still running on the field, and occasionally someone looked over, their eyes were extremely complicated, resentment, jealousy, resentment, helplessness, pain, sadness......
It was as if each contestant had been drained of their souls and was running like a walking corpse.
Still fast, still working hard, but without energy.
The vast majority of the audience on the field was discussing.
When the host announced that he was congratulating Okenno for becoming the runner-up in the reloading race, many viewers were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, it turned out that the race was not over!
Eugene followed in third place.
This time, Gerner ran the entire distance in despair, barely making it to the quarterfinals with the blood of the god of the north wind.
At the moment when Gerner crossed the finish line, the host praised him with kindness: "Let's remember Gerner, he is the only runner other than Su Ye to make it to the quarterfinals in all running events!" He showed us what perseverance, hard work, and will are! Let's cheer for this brave teenager! ”
"Gerner ......"
Many people cheered weakly, as if to give the host a face.
Gerner let out a long sigh, and the tears flowed away.
I don't want others to see what to insist on, I just want others to see my victory!
Eugene walked over and patted Gerner on the shoulder.
"Don't be discouraged, you're still a double runner-up, I'm miserable, a double runner-up. I just thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why this is happening. Uncomfortable. Eugene said.
"You have three more martial arts matches tomorrow, boxing, wrestling and grappling are your strengths. You still have a chance to win the championship, I don't have a chance. Gerner said.
"Didn't you make it to the top 64 in boxing and fighting? Your family's Wind Fist has always been very strong, and I only dare to say that it is better than you, and it is not surprising to lose to you in the game. Eugene said.
"It's me who is afraid." A look of pain crossed Gerner's face.
"How so? You are a member of the North Wind family, the God of the North Wind is one of the most arrogant gods, how can you be afraid! Eugene said half-sympatheticly, half-reproachfully.
"Defeated by Su Ye's minions, I was just discouraged. I was continuously crushed by Su Ye in the race, and I was just sad. However, don't forget, Su Ye also entered the round of 64 in the three martial arts competitions! ”
"He's just a magician, and he can't be too strong in martial arts. I wish I could meet him in a fighting match and beat him all over the ground to find his teeth and avenge the race. Eugene pursed his lips, disapproving.
Gerner looked at Eugene deeply and said slowly, "Just before today, I thought the same thing. ”
Eugene's body shook and his face looked shocked, and he lowered his head and looked at his dusty feet.
"yes, I didn't think of that. Before today, I thought that Su Ye's participation in the race was a joke, but now, the reality is like a demon dragon crashing straight into us, and then stepping on our backs and leaving. When you say that, I change my mind! I originally thought that Su Ye won the gladiatorial king in Sparta by virtue of miracle servants, but now, I am not sure. Eugene's face was solemn.
"I don't expect to meet him tomorrow." Gerner whispered.
Eugene glanced at the gloomy Gerner and patted him on the shoulder again, full of sympathy and wanting to comfort, but only sighed.
In the race, losing to Su Ye is just being surpassed, but in the fighting match, losing to Su Ye is likely to mean a blue nose and swollen face.
"Rubbish! It's like the Seven Pythian Wastes! Tomorrow, I will definitely break Su Ye's bones with my own hands! O'Kenno walked by, leaving behind a word.
The two men looked at Okunor's back.
The muscles of the demigod family's silver warrior's back rose and fell, like a mountain range, glowing faintly in the sun's rays.
"After all, he is nourished by the blood of a demigod, and he is still the great-grandson of Pasius, his physical condition is too good, and there is a great possibility of defeating Su Ye. What do you think of Okanno? Gerner said.
Eugene said helplessly: "He has long been promoted to silver, there is a gap in rank, and he has not challenged, but I have challenged his younger brother, with three wins and two defeats." My so-called battle must win, only outside the demigod family, I meet the opponent of the demigod family, still lose more than win. ”
"However, after all, you have defeated the people of the demigod family many times, and for that alone, I especially admire you." Gerner Dao.
"Don't be busy admiring first, wait until I defeat Su Ye in the fighting match, in case I'm like you, and I'm murdered by Su Ye, let's dance the Aegean Sea together." Eugene looked at Su Ye and was stunned.
"Let's go, you're going to claim the prize." Gerner Dao.
Eugene sighed and walked to the podium.
Looking at the three figures on the podium, Gerner suddenly missed the consolation prize a little.
Gerner looked at the three men on the podium.
Su Ye, four champions.
Okenno, double runner-up.
Eugene, double third runner-up.
Gerner secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so it seems that he is not bad, he is a double runner-up plus a consolation prize, and the overall ranking can be regarded as the second in the running event.
Next, as long as you don't run into Su Ye, you may be in the top three in boxing and fighting.
Gerner suddenly fell into deep thought.
Why did he feel that he couldn't win in martial arts just because he lost to Su Ye in the race?
Why is a warrior afraid of hand-to-hand combat with a magician?
No, it's not my fault, it's Su Ye who is too perverted!
He was not alone in being surpassed by Su Ye.
Tomorrow, he will not be the only one who will be beaten by Su Ye with a blue nose and swollen face.
Thinking of this, Gerner breathed a sigh of relief, the sky cleared, and the sun shone brightly.
However, O'Keno and Eugene's faces are a little unpleasant.
Because according to the convention, the final reload race award will allow the runner-up and third runner-up to express their feelings and spread the good name, although it can't be compared with the champion, but after all, it is an all-Greek level competition, and the runner-up and third place are excellent results.
However, the host ignored the two of them at all, and after hastily awarding the two of them garlands and silver divine power equipment, he walked directly to Su Ye and handed out a magic beard.
The host said weakly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's the fourth time, I've already handed out the magic beard to Su Ye for the fourth time, the gods are above, I don't want to continue to hand it to him next!" I should apply to the temples, and in the next ten competitions, let Su Ye wear a magic beard directly. ”
The audience watched this scene with a smile.
The resentment of the Athenian aristocracy was full of resentment, and since they came to Pythia, they have done nothing else, either listening to others cheering for Su Ye, or watching Su Ye's performance, or being framed by Su Ye.
Is it the Pythian Contest or the Suye Contest?
"However, I am very willing to present an award to Su Ye, because this is a teenager who can create miracles!" As the host spoke, he presented Su Ye with the regular champion rewards of the reloading race, garlands and trophies, as well as golden divine power equipment and heroic shoulder pads.
The warriors looked at the pair of shoulder guards with jealousy, like two golden lions lying on their backs, not only with strong protection capabilities, but also at critical moments to form a sacred barrier to block the enemy.
"Then next, it's the most important ceremony of the day, the award ceremony of the king of runners."
The host smiled and glanced at Okeno and Eugene.
A demigod family's heavenly pride, a superstar of a hero family, hid all his resentment and helplessness in his heart, and walked off the podium in disgrace.
Gerner breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he wasn't on stage.
Suddenly, the audience exclaimed, because a pale white light bridge flew out of the VIP stage and connected to the podium.
A white-robed old man holding a simple scepter and a gorgeous golden crown on his head stepped on the white light bridge, took more than ten meters in one step, and walked to the podium in a few steps.
The chief high priest of the temple of the sun, Béingora, a devout disciple of the sun god Apollo.
The moderator immediately bowed his head and stepped back and stood to the side.
The old man's silver-white hair exuded a strong holy light, as if there was an invisible sun behind his head.
Whoever sees this wrinkled old man has a sense of self-shame.
His whole person seemed to be a beam of pure sunshine, and his eyes seemed to be spewing a faint light.
Su Ye bowed slightly.
"You deserve glory for the surprise you have brought to the Pythias."
