Chapter 125: Promise
The bright moonlight looked down on the earth from the cold night sky, and a breeze blew, rolling up the sparse dead leaves on the ground, as if to remind people that the cold winter had come.
Ryan sat under the big tree in the yard, his back against the thick trunk, looking up at the night sky.
Tomorrow, it is the day of the match between the Thunder team and the Royal Knight Squad, in the past few days, the Royal Athletic Tournament is running normally, the Thunder team defeated the Xiulei team, and the Royal Knights team easily defeated the Northland herdsman team, so that the ashamed members of the Northland herdsman team left the imperial capital overnight, which has also become a topic of conversation for many people in their spare time.
It was not surprising that the Silent Hunters who had come south were able to defeat their opponents, after all, the Ofaria mercenary team had relied on luck to get into the top eight, and now they lost the game, which just showed that Lady Luck was not looking at them.
The Goddess Squad's victory over the Gulf Gentlemen made many people feel a little surprised, but the two sides fought for both sides in that game, and the Gulf Gentlemen team certainly lost, but the three members of the Goddess Squad also went down due to injuries, and it is said that they may not be able to participate in the next game.
Of course, these are not within the scope of those nobles' concerns, and the most talked about in the imperial capital now is the captain of the goddess squad, the beautiful girl Catherine Landy, who was picked off by her opponent during the match against the Gulf Gentlemen, and his peerless appearance shocked the opponent, which allowed her companion, the magician named Karhit, to sneak up on her.
From the moment the Goddess Squad stumbled into the top four, almost everyone's minds had a decision on the next three games, and it was basically impossible for the Goddess Squad to defeat the Silent Hunters, unless they had the protection of the God of Light, but it was obvious that this was impossible.
And Lace and the Royal Knights, there is not much suspense at all, how can the Royal Knights, who have dominated the Atletico Royale for twenty years, lose to an adventure team with uneven strength that has only been formed for half a year?
Although this adventurer team called "Lace" defeated the magical genius Bere-Reeves, the strength of the royal knights is not something they can compete with, and the "Northland Herdsmen" team composed of brave and warlike Clay warriors has only been supported by the sword of the royal knight for a few minutes, not to mention that this adventurer team called "Lace" has only been formed for half a year, and in the previous competition, it completely relied on the personal strength of several teammates in the team to achieve the current results.
Ryan sighed softly. Indeed, the Lace team still needs time, if the Lace team is given another half a year, Ryan has a great confidence to compete with the royal knights, and now, he can only do his best, but this is not a bad thing, without such an experience, how can he improve his strength?
"Ryan, haven't you rested yet?" Allendo's voice appeared in Ryan's ears.
Ryan put away his thoughts, looked down at the oncoming Elendo, nodded and said, "yes, I'm thinking about things." ”
Alan raised his hand and threw a large mass of things in his hand at Ryan, saying, "Go on." ”
Ryan grabbed what Allendo had thrown over, and when he looked through the moonlight, it turned out to be a roast corbel. Ryan smiled and said, "It seems like it's been a long time since we've sat together like this, eating meat and chatting?"
"Hmm. Alendor promised Ryan as he walked over to Ryan and sat down slowly.
"Give. Alendor took a large bag from his waist, handed it to Ryan, and said, "Drink." ”
Ryan took the bag, opened it and smelled it, it turned out to be clear water, and suddenly said with great joy in his heart: "It's amazing, Allendo." ”
Ryan leaned his neck and took a sip of water, then wiped the water traces from the side of his mouth with his sleeve, and said happily: "It's still comfortable to drink water, since I came to the imperial capital, Fani always wants me to learn to drink, alas!"
Alendor put the roasted beef leg with a knife in his other hand to his mouth, bit down a large piece of meat, and chewed slowly in his mouth, while muttering, "Ryan, what are your plans?"
Ryan was stunned, he turned his head to look at Allendo, and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Alendor slowly chewed the beef, swallowed it, and then said to Ryan, "I'm not referring to tomorrow's game, in fact, this kind of game doesn't fully reflect the strength of the teams. ”
"yes. Ryan replied as he ate the beef.
"It's been a long time since you came to the Imperial Capital, don't you miss nature?"
Ryan said with emotion: "To be honest, when I first came to the imperial capital, my heart was full of excitement, this is the largest city on the mainland, I only knew a little bit about it in other people's narratives before, although the person who narrated to me was no longer than Elfa City, and everything he did was to listen to other people's narrations." ”
"But after staying for so long, I feel a little dazed. Maybe I don't like this kind of life in my heart, right? Although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, and I don't have to think about spending gold coins at all, but I still miss the time when I first met you, adventuring together, working hard together, and growing together. ”
"Yes!" said Alendor with a nod, "It's so comfortable now, so comfortable that people don't want to move." I remember you used to get up earlier than me every morning, and then we practiced together until we were all sweating profusely, and then we were so tired that we didn't want to get up. ”
"Yes," said Ryan, "now that I think about it, it is the life of the imperial capital that has restrained us, and the comfortable days have made people depraved, and what Mr. Galib said at that time was really right." Unfortunately, I didn't understand what he meant at the time, but now I do. ”
"Oh?"
"Elendo, do you know that when Mr. Galib was teaching me martial arts, he once said to me, 'When you reach the top of the mountain, you realize that there is a higher mountain ahead, and this is not visible at the bottom of the mountain. I finally understand this sentence now. ”
Alendor nodded.
"I promise you, Elendo," Ryan said, looking up and taking a long sip of water, "There must always be a beginning and an end to things." When the Atlético Royal is over, no matter what the outcome is, we will leave the imperial capital together and return to the original life of adventurers. Atlético Royal is a mountain, but it's not the end of our journey!"
Speaking of this, Ryan stretched out his right fist and lightly touched Ellendo's right fist, and then Ryan flipped his wrist and held Elendo's right hand tightly.
The two of them unanimously said a sentence that made people's blood boil: "Good brother!"
