Volume 2 Saving and Walking Chapter 130 The Critical Mountain Peak (II)
Sean was stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng Deng and said, "Is it so fast?" Qi Deng said helplessly, "You really didn't know anything and came here, and the official competition will start tomorrow!"
Sean glared and snorted, and hurriedly ran to Qiu's room to ask Autumn to draw lots.
Luo Mu and the three of them walked on the road to the rest area, Sean folded his hands and closed his eyes and prayed, "God, give me a weakest opponent!"
Autumn glanced at him angrily, Sean seemed to be aware of it, opened his eyes and grabbed Qiu's arm and said, "Qiu, you must draw lots later, your face is white, you must have good luck!"
Qiu didn't even look at him, but a cold air had already begun to emerge from her hands, and she squinted slightly and said, "Let go"
The three of them followed the instructions of the three of them all the way to a wide building, and a sign was erected on the side of the door of the building, which read "Lottery place"
In this college evaluation, because four colleges took the initiative to abandon the competition, the allocation of the competition system avoided the possibility of byes, and everything was arranged according to the draw, and in the evolution of the competition system over the years, Nogris gradually evolved an unwritten rule in order to ensure the results and strength of the inferior colleges, that is, in the first round, the opponent of the inferior colleges can only be one of the middle colleges.
The difference between the colleges is still very large, if the inferior colleges are unlucky, they draw the upper colleges as opponents every year, which is not only unfair to the other superior colleges, but also greatly undermines the enthusiasm of the students of the lower colleges, but this rule is only valid in the first round.
Although there is the protection of such a rule, it does not mean that the lottery is meaningless for the inferior colleges, each college level also has its own ranking, this ranking is based on the results of the annual college evaluation, can effectively and objectively evaluate the overall strength of a college, in this way, draw the first ranked college and draw the bottom of the college, the probability of victory is naturally very different.
I don't know if it's because the organizers are deliberately embarrassed, or because of the particularity of the inferior colleges, even the lottery office of the lower colleges is different from others.
Directly in front of you is a wide round platform with an inclined plane in the center of which is inlaid with a purple crystal ball.
This crystal ball is the lottery bucket of the participants, the material of this crystal ball is extremely special, it can't help but be extremely difficult to damage, and no soul power or spiritual power can penetrate, which fundamentally avoids the possibility of cheating in the lottery.
The light projected in the side window overhead shines on the purple crystal, so that the entire round platform exudes a dazzling brilliance, and even the personnel who come forward to draw lots are covered with a layer of gorgeous halo, full of a gorgeous sense of ceremony before the expedition, and generally the captains of each team who come forward to draw lots are more confident and full of brilliance under the reflection of the crystal light.
And at the edge of the main hall there was a small table, behind which sat a bored staff member, and in front of him lay a cardboard box with several notes scattered around, and under the table hung a slanted sign that read "Inferior College Lottery"
Sean couldn't help but widen his eyes and roared, "Damn, this difference is too big, right?"
Luo Mu was really impatient with the mentality of some of the staff in Nogres, but he also knew that at this moment, they were like a mess of weeds rotting on the ground, everyone wanted to come up and step on a few feet, and for the situation of the inferior college, it was not a day or two to form, freezing three feet was not a day's cold, all of this was the accumulation of cowardice and weakness in the inferior college, and if you want to reverse it, it is naturally not a day or two of effort.
After the three of them walked into the door, they did not immediately go to the lottery office of the inferior academy to draw lots, but looked at it for a while, but after a while, Luo Mu saw a student of the inferior academy bending down and walking into the lottery with his head bowed like a rat crossing the street, and walked quickly towards the lottery bucket that belonged to them.
This student wanted to take a sign while everyone was not paying attention and leave, but the staff member didn't want to let him go at all, he slowly took the sign in his hand, and wrote it down in the notebook one by one, obviously no more than five or six words, the staff member just wrote for more than a few minutes, Luo Mu could clearly see that the student of the inferior college who was still with him in the morning was sweating urgently.
But it was useless for him to be anxious, sure enough, standing in front of the shabby lottery bucket, he was quickly discovered, and the crowd suddenly burst into laughter, even mixed with countless laughter, the student of the inferior academy had red eyes and almost cried, but the staff member finally finished recording the signed information with satisfaction, and waved his hand to let him leave.
Just as the student covered his face and ran out of the hall, Luo Mu heard a person next to him still laughing and saying, "God bless!
Luo Mu sighed in his heart and shook his head slightly, he didn't understand, what did the inferior academy do wrong, to endure such humiliation and torture? They obviously didn't do anything wrong, they were just low in strength, inferior to others.
But Luo Mu has a more thorough understanding of the world of the Soul Master, here, strength is everything to you.
Sean looked at the student who ran out of the door with some sighs, he knew that it was meaningless for him to do anything at the moment, he turned his head to the two and said, "It's really..."
Sean was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Qiu, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, a person standing on the side of the round platform in the middle of the hall looked over as if he was aware of it, and when he saw Qiu's back, he seemed to be a little hesitant, but he quickly walked over to this side, and also called "Qiu!"
Qiu heard this voice, and his body trembled slightly, but he still stopped, but he didn't turn around. Luo Mu and Sean both looked at the man who came in confusion.
The man is tall, fair-skinned, wearing a luxurious robe, his medium-length hair is a little more casual at the back of his head, the man's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and there is a warm smile on his slender lips, but Luo Mu always feels that the man's appearance is somewhat similar to Qiu.
Sean also felt that something was wrong, and didn't dare to ask rashly, Qiu finally turned around and looked at the man, the man smiled heartily, and said, "You are really here, you have been away from home for so long, and your mother misses you very much, so she specially sent me to try my luck."
The man's smile was natural and kind, but Luo Mu, who was standing beside him, didn't feel the temperature in the man's smile at all, as if this was a skill that had been practiced countless times, although he smiled, there was no emotion in the man's eyes.
Qiu pursed her lips tightly and looked at the man, but did not speak.
The man tilted his head slightly, looked at Luo Mu and Sean, and asked, "This is your teammate?" Qiu looked at the man's expression, and suddenly said word by word, "The matter between you and me has nothing to do with them"
The man was slightly stunned, then laughed again, and said, "What can happen between you and me? You're my sister, right?" As he spoke, the man was about to reach out and touch Qiu's head, but Autumn took a step back in disgust and flashed away.
The man's hand stopped in mid-air with some stiffness, and at this moment, an old man in a dark robe appeared behind the man and said softly, "Your Excellency, it's time to go back, the lord is waiting for you" The man withdrew his hand a little helplessly, and said, "Okay, I still have work to deal with"
Saying that, the man said to Qiu again, "I'll contact you later, you can't run away this time" After speaking, the man nodded to Sean and Luo Mu again, and left.
As soon as the man left, Sean opened his mouth exaggeratedly, waved his hand and said, "Damn! Autumn! Is this your brother?
Autumn said goodbye, obviously didn't want to answer, and left directly.
Sean also knew that this was someone else's family matter, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to press the gossip and say to Luo Mu, "Big brother, there are only two of us left, I think your luck should be better than mine?"
Luo Mu pursed his lips noncommittally, he really didn't know whether his luck should be good or bad, but he still stepped forward, reached into the cardboard box and pulled out a note.
At this moment, there are many people in the hall, and someone on the central round platform is drawing lots, it seems that it is still an extremely high-ranking academy, and no one even noticed Luo Mu for a while.
The staff didn't do much, unfolded the note, but as soon as he unfolded it, he was stunned, Sean saw the staff's expression and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, what's the number!"
But without the staff opening his mouth, he saw the two numbers "64" clearly on the note, and Luo Mu actually drew the last number.
Sean was speechless, turned his head and silently raised a big finger at Luo Mu, not that the last one must be bad, the result still depends on the opponent decided by everyone after drawing lots, but in any case, they have to wait for a long time before the game, the process of the game is not actually tormenting, and the process of waiting is really tormenting.
Luo Mu and Sean walked around the rest area for a while, and only walked to their remote residence until the sun was west, it was not that the two of them had nothing to do, but the place where they lived was too broken, and even Luo Mu didn't want to stay in that room for a while.
Back in the room, Sean didn't say a word, he saw that Luo Mu had silently started his cultivation, and he closed his mouth boringly, and suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Luo Mu frowned slightly and opened his eyes, and Sean had already stepped forward and opened the door, what neither of them expected was that Qiu was actually standing at the door.
Sean was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned sideways to welcome Qiu in, both of them knew very well that with Qiu's temperament, if something major hadn't happened, she would definitely not take the initiative to find the two.
And Qiu did not disappoint the two, the first sentence made the two of them almost fall to the ground in shock, she stood in the room and said, "My full name is Cho Christian"
Sean's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Wait... Wait! Christian, why is this name so familiar."
Autumn glanced at Sean, and then said, "I'm Suchel's princess, and the one in the morning is my brother, Yao."
Luo Mu was fine, but Sean was completely shocked and speechless, how could he have thought that the classmate he got along with day and night was actually one of the six major countries in the world, a princess who stood tall!
And Sean used to say so many bad things about the nobles in front of Autumn, but Autumn is the biggest noble!
However, Qiu didn't have any other expressions, she looked at the two of them, and said with a very rare positive color, "Yao, you've always wanted to kill me"
Sean was completely confused at the moment, he waved his hand and said loudly, "Wait! Wait!
But Qiu didn't mean to make him react at all, and then said, "I went to see the competition arrangement today, and Yao is the special guest judge of this academy competition."
Luo Mu and Sean finally realized the seriousness of the problem, if it was really as Qiu said, then their road to this competition would never be peaceful.
Just when Luo Mu and Sean were silent, Ji Deng slammed the door open and broke in, his face full of urgency, and he shouted loudly, "The lottery results are out!!"
Sean was completely unfazed when he heard this kind of news again at this moment, and he asked a little numbly, "Come out, come out, what's the panic?" But Ji Deng didn't look relaxed at all, he swallowed his saliva, and shouted, "Panic, panic, you should be panic! The number 63 was drawn by Hoss Academy! It was the number one house among the middle colleges! They were all in the top 20 in the whole school last year!Did you know!!"
Sean was stupid, he sat on the bed, looked at Luo Mu with a wry smile, and said, "This is really a double happiness."
