"Help, where is it going?" Pannis, who was doing something stupid, was interrupted by a faint exclamation in the distance, and looked into the distance, rushing to the first little girl in white, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, the horse under him seemed to be overexcited, and turned around himself, and rushed into the depths of the grassland. As a rider, the little white girl screamed in panic on horseback, but she didn't know how to control the horse, and let herself run around with the horse in the midst of laughter.

"You really don't know how to ride a horse. Catherine glanced at Pannis, clapped her hands, and asked loudly, "Is anyone interested in horse racing, can you sign up for the next round." ”

"Not at all. The ladies shook their heads neatly, although everyone can ride horses, but they are all for the adventure of hurrying, no one will go to professional equestrian training, compared to those orcs who have lived on horseback all their lives are not at the same level at all, even if they use professional skills, they may not win, so they are too lazy to join in the fun, after all, not everyone is like the child over there who holds the horse's neck and runs and screams, but can still laugh happily.

"I" Pannis had just raised his hand, but before he could speak, he was forcefully suppressed by Catherine: "You are not allowed to participate. ”

"Why, it's not fair. Pannis protested loudly: "Horse racing, this is a man's dream, and it is also a man's romance, you can't deprive me of my right to pursue my dream." ”

Heh, she looked at the rabbit girl on the high platform who was constantly cheering for the riders of the horse race, and said with a sneer: "You guy has all kinds of weird skills. If you are allowed to play, you may be able to win, but if you do, it will be troublesome, and I am afraid that it will eventually lead to racial disputes. ”

"Huh. Ha, how could it be. Pannis smiled dryly, took two steps back, and said sternly: "I suddenly understood that this kind of simple competition should be left to ordinary people to participate, as a professional in charge." I can't rob ordinary people of fun, so I'd better give up participating, hahahaha. ”

"Bang bang". A flapping sound sounded, and at the other end of the grassland, ten of the most common birds in the grassland flapped their wings and flew into the sky in panic. Ten seconds later. Several arrows were fired from the ground in succession. Three of them caught up with the birds in flight, causing them to fall with a wail, and the other birds, ignoring their companions, escaped faster and faster, and fled far away from this terrifying territory.

"Archery competition. Vivien stood up on horseback and looked over there as best she could: "It seems that there are many people, and they are relatively dense, and even if they participate, they are not as easy to be seen by the people who are hiding here." Do you want to have fun?"

"It's fine. Catherine thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look." It looks like a lot of fun, and you can participate if you are interested, do you want to go?"

"It's going to go, it's going to go. The two little undead were a little impatient here, and immediately responded, "Let's go now." ”

Catherine playfully pressed their heads and carried them onto her horse. Two little undead, the fawn is in a ragdoll bear toy, and Anne is wearing a ragdoll rabbit's coat, and the two little guys with a puppet coat wrapped in their whole bodies are running freely in front of so many people for the first time in decades, and they are extremely excited, constantly shouting and screaming, attracting bursts of good-natured laughter from the people around them. If Catherine hadn't told them many times before not to run around, I'm afraid the two children would have run away by now.

Catherine had just stepped on her horse, and had just stepped on it, when she suddenly felt something, and when she turned her head sharply, she saw in the distance a young girl in a black dress and a mysterious man wrapped in a cloak staring at her from a distance, no, to be exact, the two were staring thoughtfully at the little undead in the two puppets. This reaction of the two made Catherine's heart tighten, and she protected the two children in her arms, cutting off the sight of the two with her own body.

Catherine's heart became very nervous, but she didn't expect that the two people in the distance didn't investigate or probe anything, and the little girl in the black dress even showed her a kind smile, and said hello from afar. Although the reaction of the two in the distance was unexpected, Catherine still felt uneasy, and immediately pulled her companions into the crowd of riders and squeezed into the archery field.

In the traditional horse husbandry festival, horse racing, archery and fighting are the most important competitions and have always been the three most valued activities. Among them, horse racing represents speed, archery represents accuracy, and fighting represents skill, which cannot be crushed by the strength of professionals. In other years, the results of these three competitions are often very surprising, and there are often high-level professionals who are eliminated by low-level professionals, and low-level professionals who are eliminated by ordinary people.

It wasn't until she squeezed into the crowd and couldn't see the two strange strangers that Catherine grabbed Pannis's arm and whispered, "It's a bit bad, those two people have been staring at Anne and Xiaolu just now, have you already discovered their identities?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry so much. The identity of Annie and the others is certain, but they will not interfere. Pannis reassured: "Have you forgotten what I said before? Most of those people have an observant attitude, and will not meddle until the conclusion is reached." Not to mention"

"What's more?" asked Catherine, slightly relieved.

"Besides, I don't know them at all. Pannis said, "There's no need to bother with a few people you don't know. ”

"You guys are so nasty. Catherine rolled her eyes wide, ignored the troubles, and asked in a loud voice, "Who wants to sign up?" ”

"I'll be here too. Seeing that Lina and Vivian both shook their heads, they indulged and said, "I still have some experience in archery." ”

"Count me in. Pannis also leaned over and said, "I can win without skills." ”

"Okay, then let's have a try. Catherine lifted her spirits and said with her chest straight: "Although I have seen your archery skills many times, I will not admit defeat lightly, I must defeat you." ”

"It's useless to beat me. Pannis said helplessly: "Maybe there are a few archery skills hidden in that corner that can crush me, especially the elves, some of whom can shoot down those ten birds with only bows and arrows." ”

"Isn't it said that the elves don't like such a noisy environment?" Catherine asked suspiciously, "And the goddess of life and the god of war are hostile, and the elves refuse to participate in the celebrations held for the god of war, let alone sign up for archery." ”

"You underestimate the elves, they often participate in disguise. They're not as rigid as you think, think about Moore you knew before. Pannis shook his head: "Go and sign up, maybe there are really disguised elves who will sign up later, and then we won't even be able to win the group stage." ”

Archery competitions are not as boring as a group of people standing still and shooting at a target, but much more exciting. Competitors must use bows and arrows provided by the organizer and ride their horses slowly back and forth on the playground. After the contestants start their cane on horseback, the organizers will choose a random time to release ten birds from different directions, and the contestants will shoot as quickly as possible, shooting as many birds down as possible before they are out of range. This way of playing not only tests the players' archery skills, but also tests their control and reflexes, and those who can only shoot at the target are unlikely to win in this kind of competition.

As time passed, the contestants went to the mall one after another, and soon, the stadium was constantly filled with the sound of cheers from the audience. The audience of all ethnic groups who came to join in the excitement continued to applaud the wonderful contestants, and did not discriminate because the contestants did not use their race. In such a large festival, whether it is a human or an orc, whether it is a lizardman or an elf, it will be treated the same by all the spectators, just to make the festival more joyful and lively.

"Whoosh", the arrows continue to fly into the air, the birds continue to fall to the ground, the ladies are also infected by the atmosphere of the arena, every time the birds fly, the arrows break through the air, they will follow the audience to continue to applaud and cheer. Only Lina didn't get excited with the atmosphere, but waited aside in a low mood.

Vivien was sensitive to Lina's depression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly upset?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I don't like this kind of activity. For this kind of recreational killing, no priest of the life god line would like it. Lina sighed, a hint of displeasure on her expressionless face: "And I don't think what Pannis just said is wrong, the elves will not participate in this kind of archery competition, which is contrary to the teachings of their gods." ”

"Maybe you're right. Vivien was influenced by Lina, and also lost interest in cheering and applauding, and waited with Lina: "Think about those birds, they are indeed quite pitiful, and the reason why they were killed was not because they were hungry, nor because they would pose a threat to other people's jobs, they were killed purely for entertainment." I'm a little dissatisfied with what you're saying. ”

At the same time, when ten arrows flew into the sky at the same time, a smile appeared on the small face of the little girl in a black dress in the distance: "This is your archery skill, hehe, let Brother Kyle use it." Do you want to join in and teach Brother Kyle a lesson? ”

"It's really my archery, he learned it secretly. The cloaked man chuckled lightly, his voice elegant and noble, "But I don't go to this kind of competition, killing for fun, it's not our habit." ”

"Ah, I almost forgot. The little girl patted her head: "You still haven't changed." ”

"Heh, it's only been a few years, and of course it won't change. The cloaked man whispered, "Let's go, and meet him in the evening." ”

The girl nodded vigorously and turned after the cloaked man to leave.
