CHAPTER XXVI
"My first-round opponent was Jack Nieman at No. 258...... A farmer's son ...... "A little child took a sip of pumpkin soup and said very unhappily, "I don't know what to do next......
Jack Nieman...... Rumor says...... No...... Is it strong? Why is it divided into trash fish half area? The two men next to him were surprised, and it seemed to be his parents. They were all dressed in very light gauzy casual clothes.
"I don't know...... Father...... I think that's terrible...... I don't want to be eliminated in the first round. He gulped down the pumpkin soup and touched his stomach.
"There's no way around that...... Today's game is up to you. His father shook his head helplessly and ate the large salad roll in his hand.
"I hope that rumor is false, Jack Nieman is just a relatively weak miscellaneous fish, no, I guess the evaluators will not look away. Otherwise, they will not be assigned to the trash fish group. "His mother didn't eat any of the food on the table, and she didn't seem to have an appetite.
"Okay......" He got out of his chair, a little sullen.
"Locke, you have to have faith, you know? Jack Nieman, that kid was just a very weak child. You have to think so. You know! Locke's mother stood up and looked at Locke with her head bowed with some seriousness.
"But......" Locke didn't look up, he stared at his boots, which were the new ones he had bought for him.
"No, but!" Mother Locke yelled.
"Don't scare the kids!" Papa Locke licked his fingers clean and stood up, his fat body already had a big belly.
"Just beat Jack Nieman down as he usually trains! Locke! Got it! The woman yelled angrily.
"Know...... ......" Locke felt like a tigress behind him. Obviously, everyone said that Jack Nieman was strong...... Why does mom think she can it! It's something that can't be done.
"You give me my head up!" Mother Locke pulled out her wand angrily, and she looked at her son viciously: "Spent so much money on you!" You have to give the old lady a win today! Got it! ”
He hid far away in fear, grabbing his clothes behind Luo Papa, who stood up.
"Locke, I'm going to get it."
"Got it......" Locke cried.
"However, if Jack Nieman is really just a rumor, not as strong as the legend, our son can beat him!" Luo Dad also took out his wand and said, "You can use your wand at a critical moment, anyway, your information also says double cultivation, it's not cheating."
"Okay...... I see......" Locke wiped away the tears that didn't come out.
"Then let's go." Luo's father patted Luo's mother to calm her down. But Luo's mother ignored him, but said equally angrily: "You are like this, your son will be so cowardly!" It's going to be a game today, and I'm still talking about frustration! It's so unbelievable! You're just spoiling him too much! ”
"There's nothing to fear from those who are assigned to the trash fish group, Locke." Dad Luo turned his head to look at Locke, who was grabbing his trouser leg, and said softly, "You have to believe in yourself." They are all trash fish. ”
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this voice, Luo Papa tapped his wand on the family's body, and a flash of light flashed, and it was teleported to the teleportation room in Wenti County.
The green fire rushed under the fireplace, and the Locke family walked out slowly. There are naturally a lot of people here, but Luo's belly is very large, so it is more conspicuous.
It's true that there aren't so many fancy costumes here, but there are more children in formal mage robes, and there are many different styles of armor.
It is worth mentioning that there are more children holding a lot of strange summoned beasts behind them, and they give people a completely different feeling, the strength of the summoners themselves and the strength of the summons are to some extent the same, otherwise, they can only be trampled to death by the summons.
What dogs, what felines, what birds are the first choice for children, they can be used as pets and summons. But there are also peculiar, snakes, rats, bears and other birds of prey.
Special attention is that all humanoid summons are strictly forbidden, at least within the scope of the principality, there must be no humanoid summons, in order to prevent some guys from going to other countries specifically to refer to the elf kingdom to catch elves as summons, disrupting harmony and stability, any humanoid summons are highly prohibited.
There is no difference between these people and traffickers.
Included felonies.
In the same way, elemental mages can use the power of elemental elves and must not allow them to become slaves.
It is even more impossible to treat humans as slaves. These are mandatory laws that are fixed on the pillar of law and cannot be changed or reversed.
Wenti County's summoning team is not bad, but most of them are strong and middle-class, and Erica, who has been dealing with cattle and sheep since she was a child, has an advantage in her own right.
If she was simply commanding Elaine, she wouldn't have to worry about it, because Elaine herself would fight.
Fighting refers to Elaine's physical combat against the other side.
Then again, it's really a narrow road. As soon as Locke goes out, he meets the Jack family.
They even took a picture and came out of the two fireplaces face to face.
"Daddy!" Locke pointed to Chang Yu Feng, who was dressed in coarse white clothes, and exclaimed in a low voice, and he quickly pulled at his father's clothes.
He looked panicked.
The opponent he faced in the first round was a rumored and powerful person, and that was deep in the dense forests of Wenti County, if the rumored person was really him, then he would be dead.
But actually...... This rumor is not as exaggerated as I thought, it is all chasing after the wind, the guide has the disadvantage of being well-informed and open-mouthed, and there will not be so many people who come out of the guide's mouth, after all, it can't be confirmed at all.
It can only be said that this tuyere just met a pig, and the pig flew up.
"You coward! I don't know who it's like! Stand up for me! "Luo Ma's wand struck Locke's head in one fell swoop.
"Ahh Locke's scream only caught Rajer's attention, and he saw the beaten child and his parents.
"Sir Neymar, I didn't expect to meet you here." Rajel took the initiative to greet him, but Neymar was a little unappreciative.
They walked side by side, the family staring at the family opposite. Erica held Elaine and stared at Neymar's big belly, probably he had never seen such a terrifying thing in his life! A man's belly can be that big! Long Yu Feng carried a cylinder on his back, emerald green, like an umbrella, but the folded lines were more like a lotus leaf-like umbrella.
"Mr. Nieman." Neymar lifted his big belly and didn't look at Rajer. He walked very fast, and Rajer naturally slowed down when he heard this.
Rajer looked at Emina behind him, Amina smiled meaningfully, and Rajer shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Locke followed closely behind his father and looked back at the Changyu Feng family. Especially the long-feathered maple.
When Chang Yu Feng noticed that he was also looking at him, he immediately turned around.
Nagawa Kaede felt the child's fear in his eyes. After all, it's really a child playing against it, nothing unusual. But this child is still too ...... Timid?
"Locke, kid...... Like a mouse...... I don't know how I grew up...... "Alan also came, Serena stood beside Eren in a white robe, she tied a beautiful ponytail, with many layers of patterns, giving people a very dignified feeling. Serena actually had her mother's composure, standing there quietly like her mother who hadn't come.
"It's just a child, and it will be much better when you grow up," Rajel laughed again.
"Jack will definitely beat this stinky fat pig who looks down on people to the ground." Allen threw punches in the air at Neymar who was moving away. But Neymar glanced back as if he had eyes, and Allen quickly put away his hand and inserted it into his pocket.
"Forget it, a knighthood is also a knighthood. Can't afford to mess with. Rajer glanced at Neymar's family and said, "However, as far as Locke's strength is concerned...... It's unlikely that he will be able to beat my boy. ”
"I also think that Locke has no confidence in himself at all." Alan looked at Chang Yu Feng next to him and suddenly said very seriously: "Jack, you have to be careful of that guy's sudden change of way to fight you, maybe he will take out a flame bomb, and he can't be guarded against."
"Well, thank you Uncle Alan for the reminder."
The two families traveled in the teleportation room, which was very close to the arena, so it was not long before they reached the lifting carpet.
There are so many people that the lifting blanket rises very slowly to the top.
"Also, although Locke is timid, he should still have the strength, otherwise it is unlikely to be so high, you better be careful. He cheats, and you don't have to show mercy. Alan still told Chang Yu Feng what to do: "The best way is not to give him a chance to breathe." Kicked him off the stage at once. ”
"Hey, what should I do if I teach my boy?" Rajel and Amina wave goodbye, and Amina and Erica Elaine go to summon the group.
"This is called improvisation, the enemy is not benevolent, and I am naturally unjust." Eren also waved goodbye to Rajer, and he was going to take Serena to the mage group.
"Don't listen to your Uncle Allen's nonsense, what enemies are unkind to me and unjust, children's competitions are the same as competitions, it's a bit too much to kill them, but it's better to be careful, after all, some children don't have light or heavy hands." Rajer walked in front, and Chang Yufeng followed: "You can't be the one who doesn't have a light or heavy hand, you know?" It's good to use the rules wisely, novice swords won't hurt people, but it's important to guard against close-quarters magic. Locke's parents are both mages with some strength, and it is impossible not to teach Locke magic. ”
"Hmm" Nagayu Kaede walked in front, the passage here led to the audience of the swordsman group, his game was not so early, so it was necessary to wait. There were also a lot of people in the passage, and the audience was definitely crowded.
A weasel stood on the shoulders of a short-haired woman and looked left and right, as if it was a novelty, the short-haired woman was very capable of wearing fancy casual clothes, without so many hem folds, and the biggest difference between the Duchy clothes may be the difference between the collar and the interlocking, and there was a mask hanging lightly around her waist, the mask was like a fox, purple and white, very beautiful.
She walked beside Chang Yu Feng, and her steps were windy. There was also a woman beside this woman in a green dress, which stuck to her body like a light veil, but her green skin appeared like a shadow, and she smiled happily, as if she was amusing each other with the woman with the purple mask around her waist. The weasel laughed heartily and almost slipped off the woman's shoulder.
Both women are very tall, and their legs are also slender, and the two women like this seem to be immortals, and the others follow them. The clothes of the empire, coupled with the makeup of the empire, no matter what country the woman is, will have a unique flavor.
The woman in green clothes lowered her head and winked at Chang Yu Feng, who was looking at her, and her smile trembled even more, and the short-haired woman also looked at Chang Yu Feng, it was obvious that she didn't know the boy who was blinking at the woman in green, but she was still very happy to see him look at herself stupidly.
Changyu Feng was a little stunned.
Of course, I will be stunned.
Tsubaki and Dawang are here, although there is still rhubarb to be ignored. How did they hook up......
They must have come to see the game, after all, it was a different kind of event in Wenti County.
"Don't stare at other people's big sisters, it's rude." Rajel turned Chang Yu Feng's head around, and it was funny, and Raj knocked Long Yu Feng's head on the head, and the knock was just right.
When the two women saw this, they covered their mouths and laughed, and their laughter trembled even more. The weasel carefully hugged his belly and smiled this time, which was very funny.
"I didn't stare at them." Chang Yufeng touched his head and said a little unwillingly: "Really, everyone is looking at them...... Just knock them all over. ”
There was a cough and a slight breathing sound in the hallway.
"No, I can only care about you...... Respect girls and ignore indecency. Rajer touched the place where Chang Yufeng was beaten: "No matter what, you can't stare at the girl's house for so long, and the boy must be responsible for his every action."
"Got it." Chang Yu Feng responded, and when he looked again, the two women had already disappeared into the crowd.
"Your match is the third, right?" Rajer continued to walk ahead, and Long Feather Kaede followed.
Rajer basically didn't hold Chang Yu Kaede's hand when he could walk.
"yes, against Locke."
After saying that, they walked through the passage and came to the bright spectator seat, the crowded swordsman group, the noisy extraordinary, except for the fixed positions and accompanying seats of the participants, it was basically difficult to find a place.
The two women just now sat in the upper seats, while Changyu Feng and Rajer sat in the special seats given.
This large "silver cup" is divided into six areas: Swordsman, Mage, Summon, Archery, Fighting, and Miscellaneous. The miscellaneous category also includes miscellaneous items of other nature, such as astronomical instruments, architecture and literature. Together, these six areas are like a flower in the sky above Wenti County, and there is a green meadow inside. In the silver cup, there is like a bay of duckweed.
The aerial platform built by magic is really supported by wood and iron pillars, and it is difficult to succeed without a high-level architectural mage, this is all a matter of the Raven Organization, which used to be contracted by the Dragon Heart Society.
As the president of the Raven Language, Lorf was already sitting in the guest seat at this time, and the people next to him were all members of the evaluation team, and their name plates came from Lorph's side one by one, and they were Ao Chen, Isabella, Taylor, Longxu, Emperor Taylor, Philip Dumbledore, Harry Wesley, Granger, Shore, Mahon, Marlene, Elizabeth, Pyros I, Flandor IV, Kurosawa, Yaguang, Anoma, Bacon, eleven seats, but their seats were basically empty, except for the first three special guests from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who sat next to Lorf.
I thought that everyone would be here when the opening ceremony was coming, who knew that seven different types of cats and dogs all walked to their positions in a dignified manner, a man wearing a cowboy hat and a mountaineering suit was sandwiched between different kinds of cats and dogs and slowly advanced, he sat in the position of Pyros I, a slender black cat stood in front of her, slapped his face heavily, he did not dodge, and after being patted, he smiled and showed his big white teeth. The black cat stood in front of the sign of Flandor IV. A gray cat touched its belly as if it were smiling, and it covered its face with its hands and smiled, like a beautiful woman who smiled toothlessly. The other cats and dogs were in different postures, some stretched their fat waists lazily, some rested with their eyes closed, but interestingly, a large dog with white wizard fur sat next to Philip Dumbledore's sign, his gray fluff and a pair of long ears.
When these "people" took their seats, the atmosphere in the venue was obviously hot, but they were suppressed by the big dog waving his hand, which was signaling everyone to be quiet, and everyone listened to it.
"Thank you very much to all the friends who can come to this grand event, in this hard-won peace, we at the Royal Academy of Flandall will carry out the selection of the Wenti County Dragon Conference on the same day every year, although it has been delayed this year, but it can still be held perfectly, as the president, I sincerely thank the staff on behalf of the team of Professor Flandor."
With that, the big white dog bowed, and the other dogs bowed their heads along with Pyros, who needed to stand and put his cowboy hat aside.
"Now! I announce! The opening ceremony of the 153rd Dragon Conference! Start now! ”
Tong! As soon as the fireworks burst into the sky, everyone in the silver cup began to boil, and the fireworks exploded, like a bright visible star in the white night sky.
All eyes followed the star. If you look far away, you need to cover it with your hands.
The star vanished and turned into a purple dot that shone brightly in the sky.
The music sounded suddenly, the magnificent drums rained down, the strings sounded harmoniously, as if slowly rising in the whole silver cup, from the purple stars slowly flew one after another girls riding brooms, they wore uniform clothes, black robes inlaid with flowers representing blessings, they flew from the sky, like geese flying around the silver cup, they lined up in the lower part of the silver cup, dancing happily with the change of music, they danced in the air, Relying on the magic of the broom to perform on the broom repeatedly and horizontally changing the materials, the "stage" made of the broom seems to be more able to match their sunny and healthy posture, every movement is uniform, spinning, the robe is flying and spinning, the ties decorated with the robe also rotate, jumping, those light little guys also jumping, and then looking at their young and sunny faces, the mood is ten times better.
The audience also had a variety of postures, clapping, fascinated, and applauded, and even some viewers said that this was the performance they wanted to see the most. These smiling and sunny girls can really infect others and laugh along.
When they had finished jumping, they still followed the purple-haired girl in the lead and flew quickly on broomsticks to the purple stars in the sky.
When everyone was still reminiscing, Long Xugong's start of the game brought people to reality regrettably.
Among the six petals of the silver cup, there are already six groups of contestants standing steadily.
They are the first battle of the Izuri Conference.
Whoever is eliminated will have their color image removed, and the rules are simple, fight until you are "unable to fight back" or admit defeat.
"Powerlessness" is simply powerlessness to fight back.
In other words, in order for them to reach the Royal Academy of Flandor, the highest institution in the principality, every child will need to try to fight hard.
If nothing else, it is only regret, and it must not be regretted.
