This full-day trip to the imperial capital came to an almost perfect end under the guidance of Bud. The reason why it is said to be almost perfect is mainly because Vivienne is very unhappy in her heart, because she really can't figure out why Ryan wants to Accept a waste material that is not refined, and Bard's previous impression of Vivienne is really bad. The most annoying thing in Vivienne's life is the self-righteous messenger of justice. .com
Later, when Vivienne was alone with him in Ryan's room, Ryan slowly expressed his thoughts. Bud's words of "dream and reality" really moved Ryan, since only One word can give others the chance to realize their dreams, then Ryan will not be stingy.
If Bard performed well, Ryan would have picked up a talent in vain, but in the event that Bard was useless, Ryan would treat Bud as well, because this would give a signal to others: even Bud did Cassano can reuse the waste material, if you think you are better than Bud, hurry up.
Vivienne laughed suddenly after listening to Ryan's explanation. The Bud thought Ryan gave him a chance to realize his dream, but why didn't Ryan use Bud's intention? Calculating in this way, Cassano is not at a disadvantage here, and Bud's own strength is no longer important.
After lifting her mind, Vivian returned to her room and slept beautifully. On the next day, everyone got up early because today will be the lottery ceremony for the entire competition. According to the information sent by his men, the number of people who registered for the Royal Athletic Competition actually exceeded 7,000. This number has not been reached for nearly 150 years, except for the initial appearance in the establishment of the Imperial Capital.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital regards this competition as the beginning of the restoration of honor for the entire empire, and the reason why the Imperial Capital wants to re-organize this conference also has its own meaning. After the orcs attacked the imperial capital, the imperial capital's vitality was severely damaged, and the entire empire was naturally greatly unstable. The most annoying thing was that Senat announced that he had left the empire's rule.
Now that the imperial capital has slowly recovered its strength, 500,000 new recruits have been trained, and the entire city has been renewed. Naturally, it is necessary to restore the imperial capital's dominance over the entire empire, so there is this Royal Athletic Competition. Of the 7,000 applicants, although there are only 300 people from the Imperial Capital area, everyone is selected from the army and they are all recognized as strong in the army.
Because this time the conference changed back to the original game mode, the Archbishop Faras also ordered the abolition of the prohibition of repeated participation after participating in a competitive competition, allowing everyone to register for the competition, as long as he is a empire. Of course, it is obvious that Faras did this. After all, the emperor tried his best to hold a conference, but let the outsiders control the whole game. The emperor not only failed to achieve the predetermined effect, but also greatly lost face in front of everyone. .
According to past competition experience, only brave and strong warriors and pious knights have won the most titles, so Faras will select the best talents from the Royal Army and the Royal Knights, if not because of Orlando and Victor has a distinguished identity, and Faras had the idea of ​​letting them go.
The whole lottery ceremony was not conducted in the arena, because there were too many people to participate, so Ryan hurried to the lottery location-Royal Plaza Center after breakfast. Today, Her Majesty Queen Catherine and Archbishop Faras will participate in the entire lottery ceremony at the Royal Observation Deck, and the rebuilt Royal Central Plaza is also named Catherine Square to commemorate the thrilling battle three years ago.
Ryan ’s position to watch the draw today is quite good. Of course, this is not due to the early arrival of Ryan ’s men, but it is specifically arranged by the Royal Capital. After all, Faras ’invitation letter clearly stated that as long as this competition is The people of the empire can participate, and the overlord of Cassano personally led the team to the imperial capital, and also signed up for the competition. Didn't he show the greatest sincerity to the imperial capital? How could the imperial capital not treat well.
Before leaving, Ryan knew that he could not escape the endless political entertainment. Sure enough, after their party came to Catherine Square, the emperor responsible for the reception received them. Of course, as Ryan, there is no need to be polite to them. , That is, Adams came forward and sent them off in a few words.
Ryan sat on the side of the observation deck, which is an area specially laid out by the Imperial Capital for the Cassano Plain. Those who can enjoy this privilege at the Royal Observatory are only a few places in Mochizuki City and Freedom Paradise. Like Mochizuki City, Mayn, who played a fight with Ryan in the past, led him, and as a senior magician, he didn't sign up at all. As for the declaration of neutral freedom paradise, it was simply that the Merchants Union issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild, and then the mercenaries who took over the mission came together. The chubby guy who led the team is said to be one of the Merchants Union. A butler of the owner of the business group is basically the kind who does not speak, and what he says is not counted.
Counting the guests who can sit at the viewing platform this time, the highest status is Ryan. Although the Cassano overlord of the pseudonym Fabia occupies a small territory and does not have a large population, but But it occupies a very important position. From the map, if the city of Seque in Senate is the main road connecting the north and south of the mainland, then the Cassano Plain on the west of the mainland is also the main road connecting the north and south.
Especially after the orcs occupied the sunrise city, it was difficult for the emperor to contact the sea breeze city in the south, lost the sea traffic, and was firmly held by Senet to the east part of the mainland. The emperor wanted to regain the lord of the south. The rule can only pass Cassano.
If the emperor now has the enclave of Cassano, the royal knights of the imperial capital can be in the city of Wangyue City or the city of freedom paradise within 2 days, to maximize the pressure on the southern lords, and lose this place, then the imperial Control over the southern part of the mainland disappeared completely.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Ryan and his party received preferential treatment in the imperial capital. If the imperial capital is now divided into three factions, Catherine, Faras and Orlando, I am afraid that there will be enough officials to find the door. Ryan declined the banquets of the three political factions that night, and the three parties misunderstood his intentions, thinking Ryan was selling at a price.
So Orlando did n’t contact Ryan anymore in order to avoid suspicion. As a soldier, he would not be involved in the political struggle. The dinner at the dinner was only because of curiosity. After all, a magician unified Cassano alone, which counts It's a glorious deed. Although Orlando, as a soldier, learned all the process through scouting, after all, the person's retelling is more true.
Faras naturally had to worry about Catherine's methods. At the same time, in order to succeed in the First World War, she and her subordinates urgently negotiated and prepared to come up with a condition sufficient to attract Ryan. As for Catherine, she had no plans to win Ryan at all. Cassano's independence or falling to the south would make the imperial capital even worse, and more in line with Catherine's plan.
Ryan couldn't imagine that the Emperor Capital had all sorts of things happening because of his arrival. As for the murder on the first day on that street, Farah had been crushed by the power of Faraday's hand. If Ryan kills innocent civilians, Faras will never sit idly by, but Ryan kills a group of people who usually do bad things and are now actively provoking, so Faras chose to ignore Xing.
Now Ryan is sitting in his seat, looking bored at the crowds below. This is not the first time he has seen this kind of scene. When he tried to attack the Beast Emperor here, Ryan also witnessed a similar scene, only The people in the audience were fighting in blood, and the ground was covered with corpses. If he could choose, Ryan even hoped that he would never see that scene again in his life.
But for Vivienne, for the first time she saw such a magnificent scene, it is natural to amaze from time to time, there are at least 600,000 people who came to Catherine Square today, this number has exceeded the entire Cassano people Sum. Even the well-informed Adams kept sighing. After coming to the Imperial Capital, he realized the smallness of Cassano and his heart was full of feelings.
Only Vivienne and Adams can sit in the first row with Ryan. Followers like Barbara, Sophie, and Bard can only stand behind them. Even the unhappy Julia all day long is magnificent. The scene attracted, not to mention those who never left Cassano.
The drawing ceremony finally began. Archbishop Reed accompanied by eight senior magicians to a large wooden bucket full of folded paper. Here, a total of 7672 contestants were put in the name, and Lei In order to determine their venues and opponents, Germany must draw out the small pieces of paper with the names in order.
Due to the large number of participants, the emperor has adopted the method of dividing the field, and arranged a full of 16 competition fields in different locations of the emperor for the participants to conduct the knockout. Every 12 people is a group, and each game is one-on-one. You can be promoted by defeating your opponent, and the final winner of the group can be advanced to the next round.
This eventually advanced to the next round, that is, about 60 people in the finals, and they re-drawn the lottery to compete for the final championship. Of course, according to the usual rules of the Imperial City, anyone who can enter the second round can get the reuse of the Imperial City or receive a generous bonus.
The whole lottery process is boring and worth looking forward to. Many people burst into tears after drawing a good lottery, but some people screamed after being grouped with a strong enemy, and as for Ryan, he was always with Weiwei Ann laughed, and occasionally listened to the entourage behind him talking about some players with good strength, and even casually commented on the names of those people, as if he did not care about the lottery.
In fact, Ryan now hopes to look at Faras, which has been separated for three years, but he is afraid that he ca n’t help but recognize Faras on the spot, so he controls his hope with great willpower and draws throughout the whole lot. During the three and a half hours of the ceremony, Farath, who was just at the top of the viewing platform, didn't even look at it.
