Residence of Imperial Finance Minister Luke
The bright full moon stared quietly at the earth in the sky, and the cold wind whistled through the night sky, bringing with it the faint sound of the harp.
In the restaurant, Luke, Orlando, Ryan, Faras, Alina, Red, Ellendo, Oz and others sat around the table, listening intently to Sophie's performance.
Sophie's slender white fingers elegantly plucked the strings of the harp, and the clear tones intertwined into beautiful music that reverberated in the air. Even in a restaurant that is not very suitable for playing, even people such as Ryan and Allendo who do not understand music at all can appreciate the subtleties of this music.
After the song ended, the restaurant became quiet. Everyone was reminiscing about the wonderful feeling just now, as if the wind was breathing and whispering in their ears.
After a long time, everyone let out a long sigh in unison, and Alina even said with a little regret: "Such a beautiful piece of music, what if I can't hear it in the future?"
Alina's innocent words made everyone laugh, and Faras said: "Little fool, if you like it, you can ask your sister to play for you again in the future."
Alina clapped her hands and said, "Really?"
Sophie smiled sweetly and said, "Aren't you my sister too? How could my sister lie to you?"
Alina said excitedly: "That's great!"
Luke smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and said loudly: "Come, let's drink to this wonderful music!"
Everyone happily raised the wine glasses in front of them and drank together.
Luke waited until everyone had finished drinking the wine, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said to Ryan with a smile: "Lian, Team Reis has successfully entered the top eight, what are your plans?"
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, the coming-of-age test my teacher gave me was just to 'participate in this year's Royal Athletic Competition and achieve relatively ideal results.' If according to this standard, I want to enter The top eight should be considered as achieving my goal, right?"
Luke nodded and said, "That's right. But Ryan and you were able to enter the top eight, which is also the result of the joint efforts of the entire team. Now the voice of the Leisi team to win is getting louder and louder. It is said that the odds currently offered have already It’s 100:50, don’t you have any thoughts of winning first place?”
Ryan looked at Luke carefully, then turned to look at everyone. He found that everyone here stopped their movements and were seriously waiting for his answer. Ryan considered the words and said to Luke: "I don't care whether I can get first place. I fully understand what the teacher requires of me. I come to participate in this kind of competition more to improve my experience and strength. It’s not a false name. Of course, the fact that we have been able to reach this point is due to the efforts of all members of the Leisi team. Naturally, I will not give up easily. To put it bluntly, although we entered the top eight, I am not happy. Because our opponents did not allow us to use our best, I would rather go all out and lose the game than win the championship easily."
Orlando smiled and said to Ryan: "Ryan, it's good that you have this idea. At first, I was worried that you would be proud because of the success of these three games. Now I am completely relieved."
Ryan nodded towards Orlando and expressed his gratitude.
Orlando shook his head and continued: "But don't worry, you will achieve your wish. You have to know that in the past ten years, every Royal Knights team that participated in the competition was personally selected by me. Naturally, I know their strength best. I believe that as long as you keep walking, you will definitely encounter them."
Faras took her sister Sophie's hand, with a hint of begging on her face, and said to Orlando: "Brother-in-law, can you reveal a little bit of news?"
Orlando held a crystal wine glass in one hand and tapped it gently on the table with the other. With a half-smile on his face, he said to Farasi, "Do you really want to know?"
"Don't tell!" Ryan's voice sounded: "Brother Orlando, you must not reveal any information."
Faras rolled her eyes at Ryan, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Idiot, I'm doing this all for your own good."
Red held the crystal wine glass between two fingers and shook it gently. He said to Faras: "Oh, it turns out that Ryan is an idiot, so why would anyone like him?"
Farasi turned her head and stared at Red fiercely, but Red did not care at all. Anyway, Farasi's father and others were there, and Red was not afraid that Farasi would go crazy on the spot.
As expected, Faras just stared for a few times and didn't make any move. She suddenly felt a little depressed, so she picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Faras's expression was naturally noticed by Ryan, who comforted Faras and said, "Fani, I know you are doing it for my own good, and you naturally hope that we can keep winning. But does it make sense to use this method?"
Faras rolled his eyes at Ryan and said nothing. In fact, Faras himself knows that this method is not very good, but caring will lead to chaos. You must know that the Royal Knights team has won the championship for twenty consecutive years, and the Leis team has only been established for half a year after all. People like Ryan and Allendo This kind of main player has only been in the team for a few months. The strength gap between the members of the team is too big. Normally, they play very excitingly against some teams that are not very strong. I am afraid that they will be caught by the opponent immediately against the Royal Knights team. own flaws.
Ryan said to Faras sincerely: "We don't know the true strength of the Golden Knights team now, but they don't fully know our true strength. This is very fair to both of us. Don't you want to have a close match? A competition?"
Farasi waved her hand gently to stop Ryan from continuing.
Faras looked at Ryan with tender eyes. She said softly: "You don't need to say anything, I understand what you mean. I also know that what I just did was wrong. I promise you that I will no longer win through dishonorable means, but work with everyone to do my best to win." Go ahead, even if you lose this game.”
Ryan smiled and said: "As long as everyone goes all out, how can we lose? Are you so unsure of us?"
Faras suddenly said seriously: "Ryan, can you promise me something?"
Ryan smiled and said, "Of course. You tell me."
Farasi turned to look at everyone, and then said: "I know my proposal may be unfair to some people, but I have to put it forward. Our Leisi team has a total of six members, but the competition can only Five people play, because we have one substitute in every game. But I hope that in the next three games, we will no longer implement this rule, but choose the most suitable five people in the team to play!"
As soon as Faras finished speaking, Alina immediately continued: "Although I am a little reluctant, I have to admit that my strength is the worst among our Leis team. Who calls me still young? Brother-in-law Ryan, you Just agree, so that we can fight against our opponents with the strongest strength."
Ryan said hesitantly: "This..."
Reid curled his lips and said, "Why are you still hesitating? Don't you want to win?"
Ryan said: "Although I am the captain, since this rule has been formulated, I have no power to change it at will..."
Orlando suddenly spoke: "Ryan, I am not a member of the Leis team, and I should not have interrupted. But I want to remind you that if you insist on letting Alina play during the game against the Royal Knights team, then you have no chance of winning. , with the strength of Christina and the others, it may only take 10 seconds to force Alina to withdraw. By then, you will be four against five, and it will be almost impossible to win."
