The entire "Roland Cup" was divided into four divisions, and Ron's 302 dormitory was assigned to the fourth division.
When Ron and Aurora came to the arena, they found that Fatty's group had arrived early. The square of Nuoda University was full of people participating in the competition or waiting for the competition. Most of them were asking for news. They didn't know their own Who is the opponent.
"Hey, you are here, here!" The fat man waved his hands and shouted loudly.
Ron walked over with a smile, "Hey, Second Fifth Brother, it's so early!"
"Of course, we are not the main force, we just come to inquire about news! That's all I can do." Fatty laughed.
Aurora smiled, "How about it, have you heard anything?"
The fat man nodded, "I found out a little bit. We are in the fourth division. Everyone knows that. Highfels' team is in the first cold zone. Merklin's team, which ranked first in the last qualifying tournament, was placed in the first cold zone. The points are in the third division, hehe, at least we should have no chance to meet before qualifying!"
"It's better!" Aurora breathed a sigh of relief.
Ron laughed, "There are only sixteen teams in each competition area. We don't have to fight for the first place, as long as we can qualify!"
Everyone laughed.
Aurora thought for a while, "By the way, did the academy say that there is any reward for winning the Roland Cup?"
"Of course there is, how could it not be?" Fatty said with a smile, "This time the academy is really generous. Every team that wins the competition will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins!"
"10,000 gold coins for qualifying?" Aurora covered her lips exaggeratedly, "There are 64 teams in four divisions, so why not 640,000? There was no reward for qualifying before."
Manny laughed and said, "What is 640,000 yuan? The academy has special funds from the Roland Empire to take care of it, and a few million gold coins are not a problem."
"The next step will be great. On top of that, the teams that enter the 32nd place will receive 20,000 gold coins each, and the teams that enter the 16th place will receive 40,000 gold coins per team. The top eight, 80,000 gold coins, and the top four 160,000, as for the champion, runner-up and third place, this is quite abnormal... "
Fatty put it off on purpose, looked at everyone's expressions of listening, and said proudly, "The champion, second and third runners-up each team has 320,000 gold coins, plus a dark gold-level weapon, among which the champion is the highest attribute." , the runner-up is medium, the third runner-up is low, all of them are of dark gold level, pay attention, one piece per person!"
One piece for each person, and everyone took a deep breath. What is a big deal? This is a real big deal. It seems that the college has indeed spent a lot of money in preparing this "Roland Cup".
Aurora sighed, "The prizes are indeed much richer than before, but the competition has become more intense. This is not a good thing!"
"Don't worry!" Manny was full of confidence, "With the full set of dark gold level weapons in our hands, it shouldn't be difficult to qualify!"
"I hope so!" Aurora was worried, she was far less optimistic than Manny.
Several people were chatting, and the fat man would tell a joke from time to time, which made the whole atmosphere cheerful, and the nervousness before the game was also diluted a lot.
Suddenly, Ron felt something in his heart, and it was a warning sign. People who cultivated soul power were born with extremely sharp tentacles, and he felt that he was locked by a faint murderous intent.
He turned his head to look, and saw that among the densely packed crowd, they consciously gave way, and a team appeared more and more, exuding the domineering aura of the emperor, making people dare not look up.
Ron frowned. In that team, he saw two familiar people, one was Shaar and the other was Kadina. The leader was a man with a scar on his face. It is from him.
"Who is he? Do I know him?" Ron looked carefully at the man with the scar, and confirmed again and again that he did not know him.
The scarred man saw Ron, smiled proudly, and walked straight forward.
"Merkelin, what do you want to do?" The scarred man hadn't approached, but Aurora stopped him loudly, and at the same time called out his name.
Ron was startled. It turned out that he was Merklin, the number one holy knight of the Balovacian Academy, but he didn't know why he wanted to kill me for no reason. Could it be my illusion? He couldn't help but wonder.
Merklin ignored Aurora, he smiled, the scar on his face writhed like a snake, looking extremely hideous and terrifying, "You are Ron?"
"Yes!" Ron took a deep breath and looked at him calmly.
"Hehe!" Merklin smiled slightly, and suddenly, murderous looks flashed in his eyes.
A burst of extremely powerful momentum rushed towards the face, and the surrounding space became extremely oppressive, and the weaker ones actually trembled slightly under the strong pressure of Merklin.
Cardina and Shaar looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, it should be the first time Merklin saw Ron, why did he show such strong hostility? Besides, although Merklin is powerful, he is extremely low-key and does not bully the weak.
"Da... Dean Dabs!" At this moment, Shaar saw Dean Dabs walking slowly, and hurriedly greeted him.
"You are all here!" Dabs smiled and glanced at Merklin inadvertently.
Merklin frowned, immediately withdrew his momentum, and said respectfully, "Dean Dabs!"
Dabs still smiled, "Merkeling, what are you doing?"
"Nothing!" Merklin smiled slightly, "I'm just saying hello to my future opponent!"
After hearing what he said, the people around didn't take it seriously, they said it nicely, just to say hello, what happened to the monstrous murderous look just now
Dabs let out an "oh" and gave Merklin a meaningful look.
Merklin smiled and bowed lightly, "Dean Dabs, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"
"Okay!" Dabs nodded with a smile.
Merklin turned to Ron and said with a smile, "Although I'm in the third division, I'm looking forward to meeting you in the final! I hope you don't disappoint me. It's not good to be eliminated early!"
"I will!" Ron said calmly. Although he didn't know the reason for this person's visit, he would never back down from the challenge.
When Merklin left, Dabs looked at his back and lightly stroked his gray beard, "Son of the Holy See, you are so majestic..."
"Dean Dabs, what are you talking about?" Ron asked seeing him muttering to himself.
"It's nothing." Dabs smiled, "Ron, this is your first time participating in a ranking battle. Although you are very strong, the ranking battle is about the coordination of the overall strength, so you have to be careful!"
"I will!" Ron nodded.
Dabs smiled, turned and left, Char and the others also greeted Ron and left.
When Dabs walked away, the fat man gave a thumbs up and said, "Ron, you are so awesome, you dare to talk to Merklin like this, I am afraid that you are the only one in the entire academy who dares to be so arrogant in front of him! "
"Arrogance?" Ron took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed, "Is he the academy's number one holy knight Merklin? He is indeed very strong, and I'm afraid I may not be his opponent!"
At this time, Aurora came over and said, "This is weird, Ron, did you know him before? Why does he seem to want to kill you?"
Ron shook his head, "I don't know him, and it's the first time I've met him, and I don't know why he hates me so much!"
"I don't know why, but I feel a familiar smell in him!" At this moment, Homelin's phantom appeared beside Ron.
Ron was a little startled, "What is it?"
"Holy Holy See!" Homelin said firmly, "Although I have no basis, I believe that my feeling is not wrong."
…
"Merkelin, has Ron ever offended you? Why do you seem to want to kill him?" When she came to the first competition area and found a seat to sit down, Shaar couldn't help asking, her tone was a little dissatisfied .
Merklin smiled, "Really? Do I have it? Is it your illusion?"
Illusion? Xiaya didn't really believe it, and from the moment Merklin saw Ron, she knew it was not an illusion.
Ifat kept talking, "Merkelin, why are you becoming more and more useless? The freshman is still a child, and you actually go to bully a child? Do you want to be ashamed?"
Merklin ignored Ifat, smiled and said to Char, "Char, why do I feel that you care about him a lot, does this have anything to do with you?"
"Where do I have it?" Shaar blushed and said.
"No?" Merklin sneered, "I've heard that Highfels is going to trouble him, and you brought a group of people to support him. Is there such a thing?"
Ifat became nervous, "Shaar, is there such a thing?"
"So what?" Xia Ya was also aroused by Merklin's stubbornness, and said loudly, "This is my business, don't worry about it!"
Merklin smiled, "I'm not interested in taking care of your business, but this Ron, I won't let him go."
Shaar sighed, "You can do whatever you want, but I have to remind you that this Ron is not an ordinary necromancer, he is extremely powerful!"
Merklin smiled and didn't speak. He naturally knew how powerful the ancient necromancer was, but Merklin was very confident in his own strength. This was his first mission to become the holy son of the Holy See, and there was no room for failure.
The conversation between the two broke up unhappily like this, Xia Ya took Kadina away, and Ifat wanted to catch up, but Xia Ya gave him a hard look and then retreated.
The qualifiers were held in several large duel arenas of the college. When Ron and the others arrived, the stands were already full of people. Most of them were students from Balovaks College, and some from other colleges. For example, Xianglong Academy, as well as the residents of Balovakia City, during the "Roland Cup" qualifying tournament, Balovakia Academy is open to the public.
In the fourth division, the competition on the field has already started. Ron saw that on the big duel field, a total of sixteen people from both sides fought fiercely. Pushing forward, the priest on the other side is in the rear, and the holy white light that symbolizes healing is lit up from time to time, and the battle is in a stalemate.
Ron was amazed, "Their cooperation is amazing!"
Fatty smiled, "This is nothing, there are more powerful ones, the cooperation and tacit understanding of team battles are very important..."
Ron nodded, for the first time he knew the importance of the group in battle.
