Chapter Twenty-Six: Before the Game
Ever since Jonathan's night out, Lucia had been staying in her room to replenish her strength.
During this period, Sophia often took the female guard named Mingshang Agni out to investigate, and Einstein also hunted some magical beasts from time to time to make clothes for Lucia.
By the time she walked out of the room a few days later, Lucia had gotten rid of the occasional drowsiness.
Discounting and yawning lazily, Lucia made her way down the stairs. Maybe it's because the lustful dream has done too much, she always feels that the whole person is not motivated, at this time she should feel the benefits of another world, if it is on the earth, no matter how much energy she has, she can only drag her lazy body to work.
I don't realize it, Miss Lucia. Those who don't work can't eat, no matter what world they are in, Lucia can live a squatting life at home thanks to a capable housekeeper.
In the hall on the first floor, Einstein was reading a book, Jonathan was bored playing with the small crafts on the table, Sophia was sorting out the information he had collected, and Agni was sitting beside Sophia meticulously.
This is what Lucia saw when she went down the hall.
The hall on the first floor has everything you need for a living room, and I don't know if it's for this reason, but the four of them always like to spend their time here. Of course, Lucia liked it too.
"My lord. β
Albert Einstein, who was the first to spot Lucia, immediately stood up and saluted, and the others followed suit.
"Speaking of which, it's the official match of the Great Martial Arts Festival today. β
Lucia remembers hearing Einstein mention that it seemed to be the start of the preliminaries, but Lucia happened to be very sleepy that day and didn't go, and it was only the preliminaries anyway.
"Yes, the official competition will start at noon today, and the two hundred people screened from the preliminaries will be screened out half more today. β
The answer was Sophia, who put down the information in her hand.
"But you're really concerned, there are very few girls your age who like this kind of fighting. β
Lucia rolled her eyes in her heart, she originally wanted to participate in it, of course. However, she wasn't going to tell Sophia about it, so Lucia found a different reason.
"That's because I'm not ordinary, and I'm not 'this age', I'm an adult for a long time. β
Sophia opened her mouth in surprise.
"yes, I can't tell you at all, how old are you this year?"
How old is it?
Lucia opened her mouth and didn't say it, she didn't know about it. Maybe a few dozens, maybe a few hundred, even tens of thousands, it's not impossible, God knows how long she stayed at the bottom of that frozen lake.
β...... Several years old. β
With one last sentence, Lucia walked towards Einstein.
"Let's go, let's go to the arena and find a good spot. β
Seeing that Lucia obviously didn't want to answer the question of age, Sophia didn't think much about it, girls don't like to talk about age, the young don't want to be treated as children, and the older don't want to be treated as old women, which is also common sense. Sophia had other important things to say to Lucia than this.
"I'm with you, okay? Lucia. β
Sophia calls Lucia by her first name is Lucia's own request, and Lucia thinks it's better to call Lucia by name than to be called Miss Leviathan or Miss Lucia, and as for whether the name is too intimate, this is of course the prerogative of the beautiful girl.
"But it's okay, why so suddenly. β
"There will be a lot of people in the arena, and high-level officials from our country and other countries will come to watch the game, so there is no better opportunity for those who have a plan. β
Without excuses or perfunctory, Sophia simply stated her purpose.
ββDon't be so honest? Being bothered by the honest Lucia is almost like pulling Lucia into her camp.
But Lucia doesn't want to get into this kind of trouble at all, it's not interesting at all to affect people's lives and even the country's big tricks, this is different from the big martial arts festival, which is close to the memorial competition, there is no room for entertainment, this kind of serious trouble and lifeless thing is what Lucia hates the most.
"Well, I'm not going to get involved in these troubles. β
Whether it was useful or not, in short, the words were said first, and Lucia felt that she should at least make her position clear, so as not to have to talk endlessly after it happened.
"Of course, I still have this level of consciousness to do my own thing. β
As if she wasn't surprised by Lucia's explanation, Sophia replied with a smile.
Since Sophia has said so, Lucia will no longer shirk, and the reason why Sophia is with herself will always be understood.
The arena, the last time Lucia came, she only thought that this building was not only big but also wanted to be the Roman goods on the earth, and this time she came again, and the impression was refreshed again.
It's obviously not time for the game yet, the outside of the arena is already full of people, and the arena is about to be full, obviously it's so much bigger than the arena in Rome, I really don't know where so many people come from, it's hard to imagine that this cold city will have such a hot crowd.
Of course, Lucia couldn't have been huddled with those people, she was in a small room separated by a wall on the high platform with Sophia, Agni, and Jonathan.
The small single room is not luxurious or empty, but it is many times better than the circular staircase seat full of people underneath, and the most important thing is that it is not so crowded. As for the origin of the small single room? All people are born unequal, the privileged class always exists, as long as it exists, it is easy to do, and most things can be bought with money.
"Not only the people of the royal capital, but also people from the surrounding cities and other countries have come. β
Seeing Lucia's thoughts, Sophia, who was hidden under a black cloak, took the initiative to take over the narration.
"After all, it is a great martial arts festival, and there are not a few people who do not hesitate to trek through mountains and rivers for this grand event. β
β......β
Lucia answered, just staring at Sophia.
β...... What's wrong? You don't believe me?"
Sophia was inexplicably looked at by Lucia and could only try to ask.
"No, I was just thinking that you were so conspicuous. β
Lucia remembers that the secret agents in the Earth movie will also use cross-dressing to hide their identities, but those are all to make them look ordinary, and a more conspicuous disguise like Sophia can really play a role in concealment?
"No, it won't. β
Sophia tugged at her cloak, making it more tightly covered.
"I'm going to hide the identity of Princess Sophia Lilbourne, not the presence, so no problem. β
I said that there was no problem, so let's take it as no problem, and Lucia didn't care about putting this question aside. After that, there was some small talk around the Great Martial Arts Festival, most of which were introduced by Sophia, Agni rarely spoke, Jonathan would interject, Lucia almost the whole process of soy sauce, after all, Lucia didn't have so much knowledge of another world in her head, and even common sense knew very little.
The four of them passed the time like this until the start of the game.
