After playing Tarot cards for three full days, Team Leis came to the Royal Arena with a calm heart. Of course, the biggest reason why they can be calm is that the Leis squad is not here to compete, because the draw for the top eight will begin today.
According to the rules of the competition, the top eight draws will be conducted by the captains of each team. Considering that there are likely to be members of the Church of Light, the Guild of Magicians, or the Royal Knights participating in the competition, one person can be selected for a unified draw in normal competitions, but in comparison, the matchup situation for the top eight is even more complicated. It's important, so let them draw lots themselves. If they draw a strong opponent, just blame their own bad luck.
Ryan and the other members of Raisi's team sat quietly in the noble box. At Ryan's request, everyone played tarot cards again.
In Ryan's words: "No matter which opponent you draw, it's the same. If you can beat it, you can beat it. If you really can't win, you can't do anything about it. In this case, why worry about it? I believe Farasi will remember us. Who is your opponent, and then tell us when you get home."
Oz and Red rolled their eyes. They were helpless at Ryan's extremely relaxed mood. They even thought maliciously in their hearts: "Is it that the captain has completed his coming-of-age ceremony trial and is ready to give up on the next game?" .”
Only Alina whispered: "Since you don't care about the lottery, why are you still here?"
Ryan threw out a Tarot card with a great magician on it, defeated the farmer that Allendo had just released, and casually said to Alina: "Should Faras come alone? Besides, don't you think the light here is pretty good?" To be honest, after sitting in Farasi’s study for a long time, it’s really a nice enjoyment to be able to go out for a walk and play Tarot cards in this 100 gold coin box!”
This sentence directly made Alina open her mouth, and she muttered in a lower voice: "Is Ryan so stressed that he has gone crazy?"
Ryan didn't hear Alina's words clearly, so he asked: "Alina, what did you just say?"
Alina was shocked. She couldn't let Ryan know what she said just now, so she quickly squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Ah, by the way, what did I just say? Reid, did you hear it?" No?"
Reid shook his head and said he didn't know.
Alina came to her senses in a hurry and said: "I said Ryan, you and Faras have been together for so long, and you know how to enjoy it more and more."
Ryan said with a half-smile, "Really?"
Alina quickly said: "Yes, yes."
Ryan gave a noncommittal "hmm" and then said, "My card is a great magician? Who will play it?"
Allendo threw out a tarot card with a black dragon on it and said, "A black dragon, you should be able to beat it, right?"
Red said fiercely: "You are so cruel, how come you always get the dragon card? Are you cheating?"
Alina, fearing that the world would be in chaos, echoed loudly: "Absolutely, definitely. How could Allendo often get such good cards if he didn't cheat?"
"You say I cheated?" Allendo said to Red: "You were the one who dealt the cards. Look at the suits on the back. They are all from the same deck of tarot cards. How could you think I could cheat?"
"How do I know? If I knew, it would be my turn to enjoy it. You have got the dragon card eight times in the past three days. Damn it, my biggest card is a holy knight..." Reid said to him full of resentment. Allendo said.
Alina pretended to be enlightened and said: "I understand, Alando, you must have used your speed to secretly change the cards while we were not paying attention!"
Allendo said dumbfounded: "Isn't this too far-fetched? Besides, who can cheat in front of Mr. Reid, a devout believer in the God of Light?"
When Red heard Allen Duo praising him, he said proudly: "Of course!"
Of course Alina was reluctant. She was afraid that Ryan would continue to question what she had just said, so she said to Alando: "I don't care, otherwise, Alando, we can tie your hands..."
Allen looked at Alina speechlessly, held it in for a long time, and then said one sentence: "What a good idea, then how about using the confinement technique to banish me to another dimension?"
————*————*————
While other members of Raith's team were arguing about whether Allendo cheated, Farasi stood in the arena with the captains of the other seven teams who entered the top eight in the Royal Athletic Competition.
Faras looked at the huge slate behind Master Ibel, which clearly showed the matchup methods that the next eight teams would use, but the specific matchup list was still blank. The competition for the top eight is actually no different from the previous games. The winner between the teams with numbers "1" and "2" will compete with the winner between the teams with numbers "3" and "4". Qualifications to enter the role, and the same is true for the next four teams. The team that wins three consecutive games in the end will stabilize this year's Royal Athletic Competition championship.
"Fanny, what a coincidence, I see you again." A voice that made Farasi extremely disgusted sounded in her ears.
Faras didn't even need to look to know who the owner of the voice was. She said coldly: "If you abstain now, you will never see me again. Do you think so, Bailey-Reeves?"
The handsome Bailey pretended not to understand the restraint in Farasi's words. He deliberately took a few steps closer to Farasi, and then continued: "I really look forward to it, if I can compete with your Leisi before the game with the Royal Knights. Playing as a small team, life is so wonderful.”
Farasi sarcastically said: "Do you only say these useless words? Bailey? No matter how passionate your words are, you will not achieve an actual victory."
Bailey shook his head slightly and made an elegant movement that drove thousands of girls in the imperial capital crazy. He said with a smile: "You are right, Fani. I believe I will prove it with practical actions. Only the victors are qualified to speak passionate words.”
"Okay," Faras said with a pun: "Dreams are beautiful, but reality is always contrary to it."
At this moment, Catherine Landi walked past the two of them with a black veil on her face, bringing a gust of fragrance.
Bailey's nose sniffed involuntarily, and said frivolously: "It smells good."
Catherine Landy heard these very disrespectful words. She stopped but then walked away.
Faras looked at Catherine Landy's back. She seemed to have grasped something in her mind, but the specifics were vague.
Master Ibel's voice sounded: "Okay, His Majesty the Emperor is here. Captains, please come to me to draw lots according to your previous numbers."
Farasi's mind was brought back to reality by these words. She arranged her hair with her hands. Since she couldn't think of it, she shouldn't think about it. After the lot was drawn, it was time to go back and prepare for her opponent.
