As the names were revealed one by one, Ryan's men also slowly determined their opponents. The few fighters who were sent to the imperial capital by Adams in advance also spent a lot of money to investigate the popular candidates to participate in this year's competition. It happened to be At this time, slowly report to Ryan and others,
"Sir, this guy named Kailan is an elite selected from the imperial army. However, he is really unlucky and was assigned to a group with another comrade of his."
"Yes, that's him. It turns out that Master Fabia has also heard of the name Dulu. Oh, Mr. Bard told you about it. Well, this man has very good martial arts skills. We have seen him compete with others before. The attack is fierce and powerful, and the defense is calm. It is a formidable enemy."
"Ah, that's him, Eugene. There were very few magicians who signed up this year, so I was very impressed by him. I remember that the information said that he was from Moon Moon City, but Eugene came in his own name. It is said that he was a student at the Moon Moon City Magic Academy."
"Angelo is the bastard who challenged our Lady Vivian. Hmm, but the guys in the Royal Knights are not bad at all. Fortunately, none of the captain-level ones participated this year, otherwise it would have been a very difficult one to meet. Big trouble."
"Ah, my lord, your name has been called. Hey, Mr. Bud, why are you looking so pale? Isn't it just that you were assigned to the same group as the lord? You may not be able to meet the lord. It's your first time. The opponent in the competition is named Gotha, and he is a very powerful mercenary. According to the information I bought, his double-headed battle ax weighs 80 kilograms. Ah, Mr. Bud, why did you faint?"
After hurriedly waking up the unconscious Bud, Ryan suppressed his laughter and asked his entourage to take him aside. Bud looked at Ryan with a pale face, suddenly knelt down in front of Ryan, and hugged Ryan's thigh tightly. Said: "I abstain, Mr. Fabia, I won't compete, okay? 80 kilograms, how many kilograms do I have?"
Ryan stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Bud on the face. The latter immediately twitched all over. Although Ryan deliberately controlled the intensity of the current in his hand, Bud still couldn't bear the pain. He screamed. He released his hands holding Ryan's thighs, and sat back on the ground.
"If you feel that you are not qualified to follow me, then please go ahead." Ryan's voice was very calm, but when it came to Bud's ears, it sounded like a devil from hell: "Giving up before the game starts, I don't need to do this You can lose the game, but you can't lose your confidence. Otherwise, you won't win at all, because your momentum is no longer as good as your opponent. On the battlefield, such people are called deserters. Vivian's men The law enforcement team likes to kill people like this the most."
Ryan's words made Bud tremble all over, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground: "Who said I have no confidence? I'm just afraid of hurting him. I'm sorry. Huh, who am I? I'm magical." Bud, one punch can kill a wind wolf. When I go crazy, I even scare myself..."
"If you don't shut up, I will let you know what it means to be crazy." Vivian stretched out her finger and tapped lightly on the table, while Bud immediately closed his mouth tightly, and then used Holding her hands firmly, Vivian turned her head and looked at the other guests on the auditorium who were looking this way. She was very dissatisfied with Bud's cowardice. Wasn't this exposing Cassano's ugliness in public? ,
The lottery ceremony was not affected by Bard's episode. Red, who had lost most of his memory, was still busy. After spending almost 3 and a half hours, Red finally read out the last name of the entire Royal Athletic Competition. The matchup situation was completely revealed.
Everyone present was waiting with their backs and legs aching. When Red read out the last name, many people cheered loudly. Just when everyone was about to leave, Catherine, the nominal ruler of the empire, He stood up from his position and walked slowly towards the amplification magic circle.
"People of the Empire, I am your Majesty the Queen Catherine." Catherine's familiar voice sounded in Ryan's ears again. His hand under the table shook slightly. It was the owner of this voice who was guarding the imperial capital. During the battle, he kept inspiring the morale of the human defenders, but it was the owner of this voice who imprisoned Luke's soul in front of Ryan.
Ryan lowered his head slightly and bit his lip hard. He was afraid that he could not help but have a conflict with Catherine on the spot, but Ryan himself also knew that, let alone whether he could win the opponent, Catherine's title as queen was enough. , is enough to make Ryan completely defeated before the war begins.
Seeing Ryan's look, Vivian knew Ryan's current mood. She stretched out her hand without hesitation and held Ryan's slightly trembling hand tightly. Ryan raised his head and gave Vivian A grateful look, and the latter gave Ryan a sincere smile,
Vivian's smile made Ryan feel much calmer. The magic mask Delanai gave to Ryan could change a person's appearance and voice, but it could still reflect Ryan's mood normally. Ryan was angry, and the magic mask transformed into There was also an angry expression on his face, but after Ryan slowly took a few deep breaths, he regained control of his emotions.
A large section of Catherine's speech was skipped by Ryan, but before Ryan could ask his entourage what was important about that part, he heard Catherine say: "As we all know, every time the Royal Athletic Competition can enter the finals, All personnel will be reused by the empire, and this time is no exception. However, this year's competitive competition has another reward that is more worthy of everyone's striving for, and that is the great consul of our empire, Ms. Faras, who will choose this competitive competition. the champion as a lifelong companion.”
"Lifelong partner~mate~mate~" Ryan almost jumped up when he heard this sentence: "Farasi, why do you suddenly want to choose a lifelong partner? Did she abandon me? It's impossible. We were..." Just as Ryan was thinking wildly. At the same time, the entire Catherine Square was in chaos. As the actual ruler of the imperial capital, Faras had long received marriage proposals from various powers, but Faras directly refused any party, and behind Faras Victor also made no one dare to touch Farasi’s crooked ideas,
Now Queen Catherine has announced that Faras will choose her husband. Isn't this huge news? For ordinary people, the beautiful and noble Faras is naturally an ideal lifelong partner. For other forces, Being able to marry Farasi is equivalent to forming an unbreakable alliance with the Imperial Capital.
Suddenly the whole Catherine Square was in chaos. No one thought that Rose of the Imperial City was going to get married, so no one saw that a young man from Cassano looked wrong at the side of the viewing platform. No one discovered that the protagonist of the matter, Grand Archon Faras, was already livid. The anger reflected in Faras's eyes was enough to melt the hardest metal in this plane. Catherine's words just now were not discussed with Faras at all. Of course, Even if we discuss it, Farasi will never agree.
But now trouble is coming. Between the status of Catherine and Faras, Faras cannot deny or refute Catherine's words in public, because in terms of rank, the Grand Consul is only an official appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, although everyone knows that there is nothing Catherine can do about it. Faras, but Faras will still have problems if she commits a crime in public. After all, through the defense battle of the imperial capital that year, Catherine's reputation among the civilians of the imperial capital was very high.
And Faras also knows that once she is impulsive, it will inevitably cause more and bigger problems. This is not only an internal matter of the Imperial Capital, but also involves the diplomatic affairs of the Imperial Capital in the entire continent. Representatives of Mochizuki City and Liberty Paradise are all here. At the scene, even the overlord Cassano, whom Farasi was preparing to fight for, was sitting on the viewing platform. How could an imperial capital that was not even united with itself gain the trust of others
In fact, even if Faras wanted to clarify this matter immediately, it was useless. After Catherine threw out those shocking words, she immediately went to the palace with her entourage, and hundreds of thousands of people in Catherine Square were in chaos. The whole scene was in chaos. No matter how powerful Faras was, it would be difficult for her to regain control of the situation.
"Asshole." The first thing Faras did when she returned to her study was to slam the crystal cup brought by the maid to the ground, and the few cronies who followed her in even buried their heads in fear. Go on, the reasonable Faras is usually easy to talk to, but when it comes to her marriage, Faras immediately turns into the former Imperial City Rose, a figure who makes countless magisters of the entire Imperial City Royal Academy of Magic tremble.
"What's there to be angry about?" Victor's sudden appearance made Farasi's subordinates breathe a sigh of relief. After asking everyone else to retreat, Farasi said angrily: "Katherine, she really chose a good one. What a time."
"It's nothing. She has no military power now, and she doesn't have any specific strength. She is just using her reputation to do something behind the scenes with the royal family and nobles who are not yet dead." Victor said with a smile: "Today Things like this only show that she doesn’t have the strength to confront you head-on, so she has no choice but to play tricks on these trivial matters.”
"It's a trivial matter, how can this be a trivial matter." Faras stamped her foot angrily and said to Victor: "My father has been unconscious all this time, and Ryan's life and death are unknown. I, how can I..."
"Okay, you are just such a weak point. With your age and location, many people will indeed be concerned about your marriage. Even if Catherine doesn't say anything today, someone else will jump out sooner or later." Wei Ke Duo said: "Now that things have reached this point, getting angry is of no use anymore. It's better to think of some countermeasures."
"Countermeasure, anyway, it is impossible for me to marry anyone else." Farasi said decisively: "Except Ryan."
Looking at Farasi's appearance, Victor suddenly remembered the person who sneaked into the Royal Academy of Magic that night. Looking at his back, he really looked like Ryan. Could it be that he was dazzled
