Chapter Ninety-Six: The Third Match
The six members of Lace's team sat around the dining table and slowly enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
In today's match against Simeone, Ryan decided to let Oz be a substitute, after all, as a warrior, he needs too much support from Priest Red in the confrontation with the mage, which is easy to have a situation where the opponent can drag 2 of his own 2 people alone, and this is the reason for winning the last game.
Since Oz didn't need to play, he looked extremely relaxed, and glass after glass of wine kept pouring into his mouth, which made Red's heart itch.
Red forcibly moved his gaze from Oz's body to a large plate of fragrant barbecue Talen beef shank in front of him, he grabbed the still steaming barbecue beef leg, and without cutting it into small pieces with a knife, he directly sent it to his mouth and ate it in a big gulp, although the delicious food was still a little hot.
Faras looked at Red's appearance, pursed her lips and smiled, and then elegantly cut a large piece of steak on the silver plate in front of her into several small pieces, and then forked a piece with a fork, and slowly looked at it in her mouth.
Before the steak could be put into his mouth, he heard the door open, and Faras, according to the etiquette of the nobles, put down the utensils in his hand, and turned his head to see that it was his father Luke walking in.
Faras quickly stood up and said, "Father, why are you here?"
Luke smiled at everyone and said, "You're welcome, don't stand up, keep eating." Then Luke walked to the master of the table and sat down, and the servant next to him hurriedly brought him a set of cutlery and snow-white napkins.
Luke lowered his head and whispered a few words to the servant, then looked up and saw that everyone had stopped eating, looked at himself, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Farasjiao smiled and said, "Father, you usually eat in your own study, why did you come here today?
Luke smiled and said, "What a clever daughter." ”
Faras said slightly coquettishly: "This is natural, you don't look at whose daughter I am!"
Luke laughed and said, "It's good to talk about this kind of thing at home, it's not good for outsiders to hear it." ”
Speaking of this, Luke's tone changed and became serious, and he said, "Are you sure about today's game?"
Faraz smiled and said, "Father, I'm afraid that no one dares to say that they can guarantee a victory, right?" unless there is an absolute gap in the strength of the two sides. ”
Luke said, "Of course I know this, just ask." ”
Ryan interjected, "Could it be that there is something wrong with today's game?"
Luke looked at Ryan, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Your opponent has not changed, but the people watching have changed. ”
Farass rolled her eyes and said, "Is it His ......Majesty the Emperor who can let my father take care of us?"
Luke gently placed his right index finger at his mouth, motioning for Farass not to continue.
The news obviously came a little too suddenly, and Faras turned her head to look at her companion, and the faces of Red and Alina had changed color, and even Oz, who had a relaxed face just now, had become solemn.
Luke waved his hand and said, "Look at your appearance, His Majesty the Emperor is just here to see, not to compete with you. ”
Ryan asked, "I remember Fani said that only the top eight matches will His Majesty the Emperor come to watch in person......?
Luke smiled and said: "It's all because of you, who made you perform too well in the first two games, do you know?Last night, the Imperial Capital Underground Casino has adjusted the odds of your team, from 10 to 50 at the beginning to 10 to 30 to 10 to 10 to 10 to 10 to 10, second to 11 to 10 in the Bailey team......
Faras snatched her father's head over the line and said, "So we've got attention?"
Luke said: "This is also something that can't be helped, although you didn't use your strength in the first two games, but that relaxed expression can't deceive anyone, it is said that a few days ago, someone has begun to press 200,000 gold coins to bet on you to enter the top eight, if you can win today, I am afraid that it is normal to press you to win the championship." ”
Faras quickly turned her head to look at Ryan and asked, "What then, Ryan?
Ryan smiled at Faraz, showing his white teeth, and his smile infected Faraz and everyone in the room.
"Being low-key doesn't mean withdrawing, it's just an attitude towards the world. "As for the exposure of this strength, I believe that the teams that can make it to the top eight have great strength, and as long as we keep winning, sooner or later we will get the attention and attention of our opponents." What we have to do is to keep a low profile and do our best to improve our own strength! In this way, our opponents can only be compared with the strength we have shown, and they will never be able to grasp the real strength that we have. ”
Luke nodded involuntarily, Ryan's words are very reasonable, and the people who can say this will most likely be weathered old men, Ryan can understand and act according to this at a young age, and the future is limitless.
Luke said, "I'm here today just to remind you. Another important reason why His Majesty the Emperor watched the game is that Faraz, you and Simeone are both excellent students of the Royal Academy of Magic, and it is just the right time for the Royal Academy of Magic to evaluate the cultivation of magical talents during this time through the competition between you. ”
"So," Faras continued, "we have to win not only but beautifully." ”
Luke nodded with satisfaction and said, "A thousand kind words are not as good as a beautiful victory, Chad Reeves and I will accompany His Majesty the Emperor, and Victor and Bailey are His Majesty's magical advisors today. If you behave too badly, Victor and I won't have face. ”
Red patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, uncle." I'm here. ”
Faras gave Red a blank look and said, "I'm not at ease even if I have you." ”
Red was depressed for a while, he picked up the unfinished beef leg and took a big bite. As for Faraz's sarcasm, Red now deals with it in a way that he can't afford to hide.
Ryan said, "Uncle Luke, Allendo will do his best today, what if he transforms into a frightening person when the time comes?"
Luke thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I'll have someone call Red's teacher later, and with his status as archbishop, plus the druid has always been our solid ally, there won't be any big problems." Of course, once Allendo's identity is revealed, court entertainment is indispensable. ”
Alendor frowned, this small action was looked at by Luke, he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, then you only need to attend a banquet held by His Majesty the Emperor, after all, 200 years ago, everyone fought side by side, you represent all the Druids, no matter what." ”
"Of course these things are all for nothing now," Luke stressed, "the key is to win, otherwise ......"
Ryan looked at Luke with a determined gaze and said word by word, "Don't worry, I have never doubted victory." ”
