Chapter 129: Roy's Royal Road
The soul armor sent by Leon is a medium-grade spiritual weapon, which can reduce the damage of soul attacks below the fifth order, and it is enough to deal with the final of this freshman competition.
These soul armors look like delicate and small jade pendants on the outside, and the four of Roy wear jade pendants on their chests one after another, Leon looked at Roy with blazing eyes, and said:
"Are you really ready to beat Zorn in tomorrow's final?"
Roy heard his overtones, and Leon wasn't just referring to strength.
As one of the "Triple Crowns of the College", the Freshman Competition selects the best talents in this class of freshmen, and history has proven that these people will become the pillars of Sidney in the future.
In order to examine the quality of this freshman and select talents, countless forces will be present to watch the finals, among which there are of course many strong people with excellent eyesight.
And their opponent this time, the Zorn team, is quite strong, if they want to defeat them, I'm afraid Roy needs to use real skills, and someone may see that he is unusual.
Roy replied calmly, "Naturally, I will not only win the freshman competition, but also the "Triple Crown of the Academy", which is a plan we made from the beginning, isn't it? β
If he didn't have the heart of the gods, the identity of the oracles, and the support and approval of the Paladin family, one of the temple families, he would never have revealed his ruling inheritance so easily in front of everyone.
Because if the powerless grassroots genius is focused on by the big forces, the best result is just to be co-opted into thugs.
Although in the process of co-optation, he can also gain some power and benefits, but he is not willing to live a life of losing his freedom and living under the fence.
And after fusing the Heart of God, the situation was reversed, he had the strength and confidence to lift the table, and with the support of the Paladin family, even other temple families could no longer suppress him.
I'm special, why can't you bear me? I'm not rootless now, so either you choose to work with me or you don't work against me.
If you want to stumble on me, first consider whether you can withstand the revenge of the oracles, the lawkeepers, and the knights!
And the new Tabi is just the beginning, and sooner or later, he will come to Sidenia as an oracle.
To this end, he will gradually reveal his strength, and even if others guess his ruling heritage, it will only make himself more powerful and mysterious in the eyes of others.
In the future, when the identity of the oracle is revealed, it will be more logical.
"I see."
Leon nodded, stood up and said, "The armor has been delivered, so I won't disturb your rest."
"I look forward to your performance in the finals, and the Knights will always support you."
Roy and the others bowed slightly, watching Leon and them leave.
It wasn't until the Knights walked away that Harvey straightened up and sighed, "I thought Lord Leon was here to visit Arya this time, but I didn't expect him to attach so much importance to you."
"Roy, you shouldn't be a guest of the Palatin family, are you?"
"Me? When he was a guest in his house? Roy shook his head and smiled.
In fact, for the average inheritor, it is already quite a good choice to become a guest of the temple family and hug the thigh of the temple family.
He didn't want to explain, so he changed the topic and said: "It's not early, let's eat, and we will study the tactics for tomorrow's finals." β
While chatting and coming to the square area, Roy and the others randomly chose a restaurant to sit in, and when they were ordering, there was a sudden greeting from behind them.
"Arya, and Roy!"
Roy turned around and found that it was actually her old classmate Anna waving at him, and on the seat next to her sat Gaia and Kalian, both members of Qin Xiang's team.
It's just that there are only three people at their table, and Qin Xiang, as the captain, doesn't seem to be there.
"What a coincidence, Anna, you are eating here too?" Arya laughed.
"Well, it's time to eat after watching the game." Anna walked over and said.
Roy's heart moved: "If it's convenient, let's share a table and eat together, it just so happens that we also have questions and want to ask you, is it okay?" β
Maybe take this opportunity to talk to Anna and them about tomorrow's tactics against Zorn's team.
After all, Qin Xiang's team had fought head-to-head with Zorn's team, and there was no more powerful information than the person concerned.
"I'll ask them." Anna returned to her seat and spoke to her teammates, Gaia and Kalian.
Everyone graduated from the Kassel Elementary Academy, and they were old classmates, and after a while, Anna and the three came over together.
"Yo, Roy, and Arya and Harvey, I haven't seen each other in a while."
Gaia patted Roy on the shoulder, "When we were commissioned before, you saved us once in the Giant Tree Forest, and we haven't had time to thank you in person." β
"It's a small thing, and it's right for classmates to help each other." Roy said gently, "By the way, isn't classmate Qin Xiang here?" I thought we were eating together. β
"He's ......" Gaia scratched her head, "Losing the semi-finals hit him so hard that he nested himself in his dorm room, and with his personality, he probably won't go out for a few days."
"He's not that fragile inside, but you know, because of his background, he's been under a lot of pressure, and he needs a little time to digest it all."
Roy comforted: "The strength of the opponent Zorn's team is also very strong, although it is a pity to lose a little, but you have played your own style, not much inferior to them." β
"Haha, we're not that vulnerable, so let's not mention it."
Gaia smiled heartily, "We just watched your game, it's very exciting, especially this sword cultivator, I remember to call it Ye Tianchen, right?" It's not that I'm exaggerating, your swordsmanship is not much better than Qin Xiang! β
"It's over." Ye Tianchen showed a polite smile.
Roy made a brief introduction to Ye Tianchen and Gaia on the side, and they knew each other, and then everyone found a large box and sat down together.
"To tell you the truth, we're preparing to discuss tomorrow's countermeasures against Zorn's team."
After ordering, Roy cut to the chase and asked, "You guys just fought them this morning, what do you think of Zorn's team?" β
Gaia thought for a moment and said, "In the lineup of Zorn's team, there are no support inheritors who can continuously restore the combat ability of their teammates, so each of them has a strong ability to fight alone.
"Including our matchup, the best way for the Zorn team to play is to quickly cut the opponent's formation at the beginning and develop the game into a heads-up situation, so as to break the opponent individually.
"The core of this style of play is Zorn, and for the verdict, I don't think anyone among the freshmen will be his opponent in heads-up.
"Zorn's teammates only need to hold down their opponents and create a heads-up opportunity for Zorn, and he can quickly get rid of the opponents who are opposite him, create a situation where he plays more and play less, and then win the match."
Roy nodded slightly, Gaia's analysis was consistent with what he thought.
"So, don't let Zorn's team break up your formation."
Anna also said with a serious expression, "If we can gather our strength and let Roy and Arya join forces to resist Zorn, I think even the verdict will not be able to defeat the two of you combined!" β
Karen, who usually seems to be taciturn, also offered her own advice at this time: "How to knock out Zorn is the key to victory, maybe you should gather Zorn at the beginning of the game, even if it is a change of life, you must fight to knock him down quickly."
"As long as one of Roy and Arya can survive when he falls, the one who survives can use the strength of the fourth order to turn the tide and win the game."
As soon as these words came out, Harvey's eyes suddenly lit up, and he agreed: "Yes, the advantage of our team is that there are two fourth-order inheritors, as long as one of them can be replaced with Zorn, the remaining fourth-order can take over the game!" β
"That ......," Arya raised her hand weakly, "I asked the referee, and if I fall, I won't be able to provide Joyeus with shelter for my teammates." β
"Then you can only grieve Roy."
Gaia looked at Roy with a smile, "As long as you can fight to die with Zorn, I believe Arya can take care of the aftermath well." β
"Why do you want to use my death as a premise!" Roy complained.
"It's a necessary sacrifice." Harvey said solemnly, "Being able to exchange one with the ruling is in itself a recognition of your strength, and if necessary, I can also go up and sacrifice myself to block the fatal blow for you." β
Roy snorted, "Isn't that a bit of a hero......
"That's what I realized!"
Harvey is ambitious, "After years of penance, I am only for this decisive battle tomorrow, where I will complete my mission as a man, and I will prove to everyone that I am not a waste!"
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor! I want to let that day no longer cover my eyes, I want to let that place no longer bury my heart! I want all living beings to understand my intentions! I'm going to ......"
"I said stop." Roy interrupted his chanting, "So many people are watching, can you not make a mistake, and you've only been practicing penance for half a year in total, right?" β
"If only you knew what I meant." Harvey snorted twice, "Anyway...... I can't let that chick look flat. β
The "girl" he was referring to was naturally his fiancΓ©e Panna, Roy knew that they had a bet in the final, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I already know it in my heart, and thank you for your suggestions." β
Gaia smiled: "Didn't you say it, we are all old classmates, we should help each other, and our suggestions will help you." β
The discussion of tactics came to an end, everyone gathered together to finish eating, and Gaia and the others took their leave.
Looking at their departing backs, Arya asked, "Anna, they have a point, should we do this?" β
"Nope." Roy shook his head slowly, "I said I wanted our team to maintain a record of no one being knocked out and win.
"So, it's not on my radar to swap lives with the other side, and a Zon doesn't need us to go through so much trouble."
What kind of treatment is it to have the whole team go against Zorn?
Even if he really wins, it will be a failure, which proves in disguise that Zorn's strength is still the strongest in the freshmen.
He doesn't need this kind of half-baked victory, what he is after is a big win.
"Ah, Roy, don't be rash."
Harvey was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dissuaded, "There is no need to fight him alone with this unreasonable inheritance, even if we use tricks to besiege him to win, that is also our ability, and no one will say that we are invincible." β
"I have a reason why I have to beat him head-on."
Roy's eyes were deep, "Trust me, I'm not a strong person, I'll take care of it." β
If it weren't for the sake of showing his strength, in fact, he didn't even need to shoot in the first few knockout matches, even if he stroked, only the three of Arya would be enough to advance.
In order to pave the way for the royal journey as a divine messenger in the future, he not only has to lead the team to win the freshman competition, but also win the MVP of the freshman competition, becoming a well-deserved first among the freshmen.
For this reason, he wants to defeat Zorn in the final to draw a perfect end to this year's freshman competition.
"Teacher Ye, what do you think?"
Seeing that Roy had made up his mind, Harvey looked at Ye Tianchen helplessly, the title "Teacher Ye" was something he learned from Roy.
"What do you think?" Ye Tianchen blinked, "I'll stand and watch." β
ββ¦β¦ Have you started to learn to tell bad jokes, Mr. Ye? β
"I'm sorry, but recently my article was criticized by the editor for being too dry and boring, so I decided to try to add some jokes to my writing, which inevitably went a little crazy."
Ye Tianchen coughed lightly, "Regarding the tactics of the game, I trust Roy's judgment, since he is the captain, we just follow his command." β
"I said it as if I didn't believe him."
Harvey raised his forehead and sighed, "That's it, I'm also concerned about it, and I'm a little nervous." Now that Roy has vetoed this tactic, you should already have the answer in mind, right? β
Roy nodded: "Tomorrow in the final, we will play like this......"
β¦β¦
The day passed quickly, and the next morning, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Inheritor Academy ushered in the finals of this year's freshman competition.
The stands in the main competition area were crowded with people, and at the door of the VIP box next to the rostrum, there were also many big people in gorgeous costumes walking back and forth.
At this time, Leon was sitting in a VIP box. He held his wine glass, waiting for the start of the finals, and chatted with Deputy Head Cynthia beside him:
"How far do you think Roy will go in this game?"
"It's hard to say." Cynthia shook her head and replied sternly, "I have to admit that we don't know much about him and the heart of God.
"Manifest golden pupils, strengthen your body, strengthen your resilience, and even kill the demon lord by leaping through the ranks...... That's what he's shown so far.
"But what about the conditions under which these abilities are activated? Could he still have more hidden abilities? After all, he is a once-in-a-millennium oracle, and no matter what means he uses, I won't think it's an exaggeration. β
Leon gently shook the wine in the wine glass: "Actually, what I care more about is how other families and forces will treat him after he shows something unusual?" β
"For thousands of years, Sidney has been controlled by eighteen temple families, and the appearance of the oracle has broken this situation, and the pattern of Sidenia will be greatly changed because of the appearance of the oracle.
"But the unknown brings fear, and if this change is too drastic and swift, the other temple families will inevitably accept the new oracle with good intentions."
"So it's going to take a step-by-step process, and that's what Roy is doing right now."
Cynthia said, "Roy should control his power and only reveal himself as an ordinary genius for the time being, so that everyone will gradually accept his existence."
"That way, when the time comes, reveal his identity, and they will not be afraid and resistant to strange and unheard-of oracles."
"Not bad."
Leon nodded, "Hopefully he can win this game smoothly and without being too exaggerated."
"At least, don't let the audience hear that terrifying heartbeat right now......"
