As the man's voice sounded and the opponent was teleported out of the playing field. Squad Rise wins. Everyone walked slowly out of the Royal Arena, and Alina was already waiting outside, shouting excitedly at her teammates: "Great, we won!"

Faras smiled at Alina and said, "What's there to be happy about, you have to win two more games to get into the top eight." ”

Alina chattered non-stop, although she did not participate in this game, but she was happy to watch it off the court, and she was happier than she was on the court.

Ryan didn't think that kind of victory meant anything, it was too easy, even a little incredible. The opponent was invincible before the game, but he didn't have that kind of strength at all when he played, and Oz and Allendo broke the opponent's defense and even broke the opponent's will with a single attack.

Everyone was lively for a while, and gradually calmed down. Seeing that Ryan was silent on the side, Faras said softly, "Ryan, we won, aren't you happy?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "How can you be unhappy? I just think it's too easy to win, and I don't know if it will make everyone feel underestimated." ”

Faras smiled and said, "We've seen stronger opponents, can an easy victory make everyone proud?"

Ryan smiled at Faras and said, "I don't think so, it's that I'm overthinking." ”

Faras deliberately asked Ryan, "Are we going back?"

Ryan turned his head to look at the arena and said to himself, "Why don't you watch the opponent's game?"

A big smile appeared on Faras's face, and she said to Ryan, "Just like I thought." ”

The other members of Lace's team naturally had no opinion, so everyone turned around and walked into the Royal Arena again, but this time, they were seated in the audience.

The feeling of watching the game from a high altitude was completely different from the feeling of being on the field, and Ryan looked at the empty arena below, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was like at all.

There weren't many people who came to watch the game today, Ryan counted a little, and there were only a few thousand, recalling that when everyone just came back, as a spectator, everyone paid a fee of 10 gold coins. Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but sigh, how can you use money everywhere.

Faras, who was sitting next to Ryan, smiled and said, "What, you feel sorry for money?"

Ryan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no. ”

At this time, Red leaned his head over and said to Ryan and Faras, "Ryan, do you think we should bet?"

Without waiting for Ryan to answer, Faras reprimanded Red, "Don't. ”

Ryan asked curiously, "What bet?"

Faras waved away Red, and then said to Ryan, "It's a bet on the outcome of the game, and someone privately offers odds on the outcome of each game and the team that wins the championship. However, this matter is not allowed in the empire, but there are too many nobles involved, and it is impossible to completely prohibit it. ”

Ryan said, "Aren't you afraid that our people participating in the competition will cheat?"

Faras said regretfully: "There has been such a situation as you said. Because the champions for many years have been royal knight squads, some of the participating squads have no pursuit at all, so some squads deliberately win or lose the game according to the bet in the game to get a huge amount of gold. For this reason, the empire has specially promulgated regulations, and once investigated, the maximum can be the death penalty. ”

Ryan said, "Can't the death penalty be banned?"

Faras sighed and said, "There are too many nobles involved, and if all of them are sentenced to death, I am afraid that the population of the imperial capital will be reduced by half." ”

Ryan was silent, he suddenly understood what he was thinking just now, it turned out that his party was fighting desperately in the arena below, just to please a group of nobles who were high above.

Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly got a little tired in his heart, he quickly dispelled this feeling to the back of his mind, and he said to himself in his heart: "Uncle Luke makes sense, I came to participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament to learn something in the process, not just to win a certain honor, let alone as an entertainment tool for some nobles!"

Faras secretly shook Ryan's hand and gave him an encouraging smile.

Ryan's encouragement perked up, and he smiled back at Faras. What are the regrets of being able to meet a group of friends in your own rite of passage and meet your other half? As for winning, it is just an embellishment to make yourself feel better!

――――――――――*――――――――――*―――――――――― "Toot ~" The horn of the contestants sounded, and the two participants slowly entered the circular arena.

A lady's voice came from outside the field: "In this game, the Grisbi Fire team will play against the Plantagenet family team. ”

Ryan and Faras snuggled together, watching the two squads together. "Plantagenet was the symbol of a nation 200 years ago, but after being destroyed by the Undead Legion, his descendants joined Fernando's army, and later owned a large piece of land and became a lord. However, over the years, they have long since split into many small lords, and only the descendants of the original Plantagenet Dynasty still use this symbol. ”

Ryan nodded and said, "The Plantagenet family team is composed of two warriors, one each of the other priests, mages, and thieves. His opponent, what a blue fire squad......"

Faras added: "It's Grisbi Fire. Gris is a city in the imperial capital, near the fiefdom of the Plantagenet family, and it is said that there is a lot of conflict between them, and it seems that this game is just over. ”

Ryan complimented Faras, saying, "You know so much. ”

Faras smiled and didn't speak. She said in her heart: "In addition to studying magic, the aristocratic etiquette I chose to learn was not in vain, and the book "Family Heraldry" alone took me a whole year. ”

Ryan pointed to the Gris Blue Fire team in the field and said, "Fani, you see that there are one warrior, one priest, one mage, and two thieves on the Blue Fire team. I'm afraid it's a little tricky. ”

Faras followed Ryan's gaze and involuntarily said, "The outcome is basically clear. It's hard for Grisbi to win. ”

Ryan turned his head to look at Farass and whispered, "Fani, are you so sure?"

Faras gave Ryan a confident smile and explained, "Not to mention that the equipment of the members of the Plantagenet side is obviously better than that of the opponent, and the two thieves on Gris's side alone have lost half of the first. ”
