The five-year alliance of the Seven Kingdoms is also an extremely important day for the Empire of Light.

This time, the Emperor of the Alliance was set on the first day of the first month of March, which was the season of early spring when everything recovered.

The early spring is also the time when many creatures on the mainland are in estrus. As the day of the alliance drew closer, more and more people flocked to Arantis.

The teachers and students of each college participating in the elite college competition are only a very small part of them. Officials, guards, and attendants who served the kings of various countries, businessmen and artists who took a fancy to the business opportunities of the alliance, and warriors, scribes, and all kinds of people who wanted to take this opportunity to seek a career for themselves flocked to the imperial capital.

Too many people only saw opportunities in their eyes, but few people smelled a trace of abnormal aura faintly wafting in the imperial capital.

After the conflict with Yeggis, Arthur and the others never left the Kingdom Post House again. It's not that the young people don't want to go to the imperial capital to play, but the Austin Grand Magician has grounded them in the side courtyard of the post house to practice team cooperation.

The Elite Academy Championship has three wins in five games and a single round of elimination, so it can be said that there is no chance of any mistakes. Among the five rounds, in addition to the two single-player duels, there are also two two-player duels and one five-player team duel. Such a competition system arrangement can fully reflect the comprehensive strength of a college, and avoid the result of the whole competition because of the prominence of one or two students.

Except for Arthur and Becky, the eight people participating in the Blood Yao Academy have their own strengths, and some of them have very outstanding strengths and weaknesses. For example, Lugan and Nini are strong in defense and weak in attack, while Werther and Aaron are strong in attack and weak in defense. Therefore, in terms of two-player combination and five-person team combat, Professor Ogu and Professor Elaine have been practicing Arthur these days, and they try different combinations and combat methods.

"Haha, everyone is here today!" As Arthur and the others were sweating profusely as they were being trained, Joan walked in with a smirk.

"You fool still know to come and see us?" Golly wiped the sweat from her head and threw herself straight at Joan, ready to do it.

"Stop, don't hit the smiling man, I'm here to give you a gift. ”

I saw that there were four other attendants who followed Joan into the side courtyard, each holding several boxes in their hands, and bursts of fragrance wafted out of the boxes.

"Knowing that everyone cultivates hard, this is the wine and food I ordered from the most famous restaurant in the imperial capital. ”

"Then we thank His Highness Eleven. Becky smiled and stepped forward to take the box from the attendant's hand.

Everyone has known Joan's identity since the Tianxiang Street fight, but Joan's "loved by everyone" trait makes others feel that he is no different from before.

"The auction is about to start?" Arthur asked in a low voice, pulling Joan aside.

"How can an auction of that scale be so frequent, the most recent one has to wait for more than ten days. I came to you for something else?"

"Oh?"

Qiong Zhi said: "There are three more days of the empire's annual 'royal spring hunt', according to the custom, the adult children of the royal family in the imperial capital must participate, I came to invite you to accompany me to participate in this year's spring hunt, and by the way, go to the royal hunting ground to relax." ”

Joan didn't deliberately keep her voice down, as long as she was careful in the courtyard, both of them could hear clearly, and both Golly and Becky cast curious glances.

Arthur said a little frustratedly: "Hunting is interesting, but you have to ask the Austin Grand Magician for this matter, it is a critical time before the game, and it is estimated that the Great Magician will not let us out." ”

"Who says I don't agree?" said the Austin Archmage pushed the door open from the room and walked out.

Joan immediately bowed to the Austin Archmagician.

"You bastard is talking bad about me behind my back again?" Austin stared at Arthur with raised eyebrows, as if lightning would fall from the sky if he didn't answer correctly.

Arthur laughed and said, "Am I not afraid of delaying the training?

"The 'Royal Spring Hunt' is a famous annual event of the imperial family, so it's good for you to follow along and meet the world. But let you go is not to play, after all, your current training is still far from the actual combat, I hope you will take this spring hunt as a pre-competition training, the prey monster as the opponent in the game, and figure out the best combination and combat method yourself. ”

"There are still monsters among the prey?" Arthur was slightly surprised.

"Joan, explain the rules, you can explain them to them. ”

"The 'Royal Spring Hunt' originated during the reign of the eighth emperor, Leopold, and has a history of more than 200 years. Leopold not only likes to have fun, but also likes to bring his children and close ministers with him when hunting, so that they can compete with each other to hunt, and the winner can also be rewarded by the emperor. After the 'Rebellion of the Thirteen Princes', the new emperor continued this tradition, mainly to have fun with the princes and emperors, and at the same time to examine the ability and character of the princes, and finally the victorious and top-ranked princes could naturally get more favor from the emperor. ”

A father-son hunt was placed in the royal family, and gradually evolved into a secret battle between the princes for the favor and storage of the emperor.

Arthur suddenly realized a question, "So this hunt is not only about the prey, but also about the competition with other princes?"

Joan said with a stern face: "'Royal Spring Hunting' is not an ordinary hunt, in order to increase the challenge, the royal family will buy some magical beasts and put them in the hunting ground every year, and the princes often use some unsavory means in order to compete. In the more than 200-year history of the royal spring hunt, there are more than one or two princes who died in the hunting ground, so the danger of this hunt is indeed not small. ”

Arthur laughed and said, "Don't you just like to take risks, it's interesting when you're in danger!" I only have one question, how do you get from hunting?"

"All the harvest naturally goes to the hunters. ”

"Then I'll be fine. ”

Joan said: "I have one condition, I must not take the results before the top three in this hunt!"

......

In a royal chamber.

Eight men dressed in gray and with murderous faces knelt in a row on one knee.

"I've been raising you for many years, and now it's time to show your value, and I hope you don't let me down. A thin, feminine young man whispered.

"Yes, we will repay the trust of the Seventh Highness with death. The eight of them agreed in unison.

The young man known as the Seventh Highness chuckled, "I don't want you to die, even if someone has a horse stirrup in the hunt, it doesn't matter to me. ”

In a royal garden.

A girl with short blond hair was shooting a sharp arrow at a humanoid target on the garden wall fifty meters away. The eyebrows, throats, and hearts of the three humanoid targets on the opposite side were already full of sharp arrows at this time, and none of them were outside these three vital points.

Every time the girl shot an arrow, there was a burst of cheers behind her. Behind her stood eight or nine well-dressed young men and women armed with various delicate blades.

The girl turned around and smiled at the young men and women behind her, "You guys also train hard, this time Spring Hunt will follow this princess to suppress the prestige of my brothers!"

A similar scene has been repeated in the palaces of the imperial capital, and a "royal spring hunt" has slightly stirred the calm Alantilis......
