The full moon of the Imperial Chancellor of Finance, Luke's mansion, watched the earth quietly in the air, and the cold wind whistled in the night sky, faintly bringing the sound of the harp.

In the dining room, Luke, Orlando, Ryan, Faras, Alina, Red, Allendo, Oz and others sat around the table, listening intently to Sophie's performance.

Sophie's slender white fingers gracefully plucked the strings of the harp, and the clear timbre intertwined a beautiful piece that reverberated in the air. Even in a restaurant that is not very suitable for playing, even Ryan, Allendo, and others, who don't know music at all, can appreciate the subtlety of this music.

At the end of the song, the restaurant was silent, and everyone was reminiscing about the wonderful feeling just now, as if the wind was breathing and whispering in their ears.

After a long time, everyone sighed in unison, and Alina even said with a little regret: "What if I can't hear such a beautiful piece of music in the future?"

Alina's innocent words made everyone laugh, and Faras said, "Little fool, if you like it, you can let my sister play it for you again in the future." ”

Alina clapped her hands and said, "Really?"

Sophie smiled and said, "Aren't you also my sister, how could my sister lie to you?"

Alina excitedly said, "Great!"

Luke smiled slightly, he picked up his glass, and said loudly, "Come, let's toast to this beautiful music!"

Everyone happily raised the wine glasses in front of them and drank them together.

Luke waited for everyone to drink the wine, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said to Ryan with a smile: "Ryan, Lace Team has successfully entered the top eight, do you have any plans?"

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I won't tell you that the coming-of-age trial that my teacher gave me at the beginning was just 'to participate in this year's Royal Athletic Tournament and achieve more ideal results." 'By that standard, I think I've achieved my goal by finishing in the top eight, right?'

Luke nodded and said, "That's right. But Ryan, you can get into the top eight, it is also the result of the whole team working together, and now the call for the Lace team to win the championship is getting higher and higher, and it is said that the odds are now 100:50, don't you have the idea of winning the first place?"

Ryan looked at Luke carefully, then turned to look at everyone, and he noticed that everyone in the room had stopped their movements, waiting earnestly for their answer. Ryan pondered his words and said to Luke, "I don't care if I get first place. I fully understand what my teacher asks of me, and I come to participate in this kind of competition more to improve my experience and strength, rather than to be famous. Of course, we have been able to get to this point because of the efforts of all the members of the Lace team, and I naturally will not give up easily. To put it mildly, even though we were in the top eight, I wasn't happy because our opponents didn't give us all and I would rather give it my all and lose than win easily. ”

Orlando smiled and said to Ryan, "It's good that you have this kind of thought, Ryan, I was worried at first that you would be proud of the success of these three games, and now I am completely relieved." ”

Ryan nodded at Orlando in thanks.

Orlando shook his head and continued, "But don't worry, you'll get what you want." You must know that in the past ten years, I have personally selected the Royal Knight squad to participate in every competition, and I naturally know their strength best, and I believe that as long as you keep going, you will definitely run into them. ”

Faras took her sister Sophie's hand, with a hint of begging on her face, and said to Orlando, "Brother-in-law, can you tell me a little bit of news?"

Orlando held a crystal wine glass in one hand, and tapped lightly on the table with the other, and said to Faraz, "Do you really want to know?"

"Don't say it!" Ryan's voice rang out, "Big Brother Orlando, you must not reveal any news. ”

Faras glanced at Ryan, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Idiot, I'm all for your good." ”

Red grabbed the crystal wine glass between his two fingers and shook it gently, and he said to Faraz, "Oh, so Ryan is an idiot, so why would anyone still take a fancy to him?"

Faras turned his head and stared at Red viciously, but Red didn't care at all, anyway, Faraz's father and others were there, and Red was not afraid that Faraz would be mad on the spot.

Faras only glared at her for a few moments, but didn't make any moves, and she suddenly felt a little depressed in her heart, so she took her glass and drank it down.

Farah's expression was naturally looked at by Ryan, who comforted Farath and said, "Fani, I know that you are for my good, and you naturally hope that we can keep winning." But does it make sense to use this method?"

Faras gave Ryan a blank look and didn't speak. In fact, Faras himself knows that this way is not very good, but it is chaotic to care, you must know that the Royal Knight Squad has won the championship for twenty consecutive years, and the Thunder Squad has only been established for half a year after all, and the main players like Ryan and Allendo have only joined the squad for a few months, and the gap in the strength of the team members is too large.

Ryan said to Faras sincerely: "We don't know the true strength of the Golden Knight squad now, but they don't fully know our true strength either, which is very fair to both of us." Don't you want to have a close game?"

Farass waved her hand slightly, stopping Ryan from continuing.

Faras looked at Ryan with a gentle gaze. She said softly, "You don't need to say it, I understand your intentions." I also know that what I just did was wrong, and I promise you that I will no longer win through dishonorable means, but will do my best with everyone, even if you lose this game. ”

Ryan smiled and said, "As long as everyone gives it their all, how can we lose?

Faras suddenly said very seriously, "Ryan, can you promise me one thing?"

Ryan smiled and said, "Of course." You say. ”

Faras turned to look at the group and said, "I know this offer of mine may not be fair to some people, but I have to bring it up. We have a total of six members of the Race team, but we can only play five players in the tournament because we have one substitute for every game. But I hope that for the next three games, I will no longer enforce this rule and choose the most suitable five players in the team to play!"

As soon as Faras's words fell, Alina immediately continued: "Although I am a little unwilling, I have to admit that my strength is the worst in our Lace team, who calls people young? ”

Ryan hesitated and said, "This ......"

Red pursed his lips and said, "What are you hesitating about? Don't you want to win?"

Ryan said: "Although I am the captain, since this rule has been formulated, I have no right to change it at will......

Orlando suddenly spoke: "Ryan, I'm not a member of Ress Squad and shouldn't have interjected. But I want to remind you that if you insist on letting Alina play in the match against the Royal Knights, then you have no chance to win, and with Christina's strength, it may only take 10 seconds to force Alina to leave, and then you will play four against five, and it will be almost impossible to win. ”
