Neverwinter soon ushered in the day of the start of the game.
Although the inaugural Victory Day Games was extremely hasty and rudimentary, with neither an opening ceremony nor a live commentary, it was undoubtedly another grand celebration for the locals.
There was no need for anyone to call or organize. As soon as the sky turned bright, people spontaneously flocked to the Kingdom Avenue, striving for a good seat at the front. Since the snow has not yet melted away, almost everyone has a small bench or a leather felt cushion, and there are not a few people who are dispatched together by the whole family. This migration-like scene amazed the traveling merchants, and the hawkers who predicted the situation in advance had already carried bags full of food and drinks, and followed the team to sell loudly.
The center of the avenue, where the end of the game was located, was already surrounded by water by noon. It is conservatively estimated that there were about 10,000 people, and there were still people coming from the two places. enthusiasm. You must know that walking 28 kilometers on your feet is definitely not an easy job. He deliberately set the game time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to leave enough time for the people to prepare, but he did not expect that everyone's response still exceeded his expectations. .
As the King of Greycastle, he naturally didn't have to crowd with the people. As early as a day ago, the Ministry of Construction had set up a stepped viewing platform that could accommodate a hundred people for the use of senior officials of Neverwinter. Surrounded by the defense line built by the First Army's human wall, which separated the viewing platform from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of contestants, there are a total of 1,462 people." Scroll came over with a thick stack of paper, "But limited by the registration time, there are only the simplest classifications and statistics. If If you can give me two more days..."
"It doesn't matter," Roland waved his hand. "The Games themselves are meant to strike while the iron is hot. If it is delayed until after the expedition, it will lose its original intention."
He flipped through the list and found that the other party was a little modest. The above classification was not only refined to residential areas, but also attached the simplest life summary and work experience. To find out this information in such a short period of time, probably only the book can do it.
In the list, he saw several interesting names.
For example, old man Yorko.
Lucia's sister Ling.
And the trio of the original Alchemist Association, etc...
Undoubtedly, even if there are no witches involved in this game, they have little hope of winning, and they basically go for the slogan of "focus on participation" in the propaganda.
And most hope to win the ranking, mostly concentrated on the first page.
Roland set his sights on the two people who were in the first place. Dawn Morning Light Philyn Hilt and chief knight Carter Lannis said, "Do you think the champion will be born between them?"
Scroll rolled up her hair and smiled and did not answer directly, but her expression already gave the answer.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time." Barov, who was sitting in the lower seat, reminded.
"Well," Roland put down the list and picked up the telephone set beside him, "then let the game begin."
…
"Well, I've always been puzzled by something," Goulz, who was wearing a desert-style fighting robe and doing warm-up moves in the crowd, pondered while jumping, "The city of the Great Chief is divided into two regions, right? Since they are running towards the middle together, how can he ensure that everyone starts at the same time? The most important thing in a sacred duel is fairness.
Who knows, and that's not the point at all, okay? "Father..." Rohan said with difficulty, "could you take that headband off your head? And the mink around your waist..."
He never imagined that after spending a huge sum of money to watch "Wolfheart", his father would be like a demon. While repeatedly sighing at his daughter's bright and moving beauty, he was distressed that he was afraid of being criticized by everyone in the past, and forced his daughter to let her The practice of covering up the wolf-like parts. According to the other party's original words, she was both stupid and cowardly, which caused Lorgar to suffer too many grievances that she should not have, and also made her miss the most dazzling years as a goddess. It can be said that she has not fulfilled the responsibility of a father at all. .
Well, even if these are the facts, it wouldn't mean to wear a hand-sewn cloth ear band and tie a piece of fur as a tail!
You are the patriarch of the Wild Flame Clan! Rohan shouted in his heart, if this image was passed back to Clearwater Harbor, how would he face the leaders of other clans
"This is my compensation to her, don't say more." Goulz said sternly, "I feel really ashamed for the fearless courage she showed in the shadow, and I don't care about other people's eyes and insist on the path I choose. , I taught her this, but I failed to do it myself. If you want to quell disputes, rather than hide your flaws, it is better to show it generously. If more people can accept this look, then the wolf-like Lorgar also called Not a monster anymore."
"..." Rohan opened his mouth, but for a while he didn't know where to persuade him.
"I heard you questioning His Majesty's fairness just now?" Someone suddenly said, "Outlanders, you all know nothing about His Majesty's talents, and the masterpiece he created can instantly connect two places, making it possible to make phone calls a hundred miles apart. Like face to face! Did you see the thing hanging above your head?"
Rohan looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw two huge cylindrical objects hanging from the tree trunks by the roadside. No matter how dark the appearance was, it could not be connected with the sound transmission technique.
"That's called a loudspeaker! It can amplify the sound dozens of times. When it is connected to a telephone, a magical creation that can communicate between two places, it can ensure that we and the people in the Changge District can hear His Majesty's password at the same time." The man said proudly.
"Oh! So it is!" Goulz clapped his hands and said, "Since we can ensure fairness, then I have to take it seriously!"
"But this uncle, your body is really strong... You put on a short coat just after winter, isn't it cold?" He looked at Goulz curiously, "And the pair of pointed ear headdresses."
It's over, it's coming... Rohan closed his eyes with difficulty, and the other party would definitely sneer and sneer, but the results were nothing more than two: the father resisted, and the two were disgraced; , it would be unpredictable how bad an impression it would make on the warchief.
"It's imitating the Snow Princess, right? It's quite interesting..." The man continued, "Can you tell me where you bought it?"
Eh!
Rohan couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Hahaha, this is..."
Just as Gulz was about to answer, a harsh sizzling sound came from the black tube called the horn.
"Hello everyone... Zi... I am His Majesty Roland Wimbledon."
The noisy crowd at the scene suddenly quieted down.
"You must have been clear about the rules of the game, but I still want to reiterate here, the result is not the most important thing. This will be a challenge to yourself, as long as you do your best, whether you run to the end or not, you will be Terrific winner. So don't focus on being opportunistic or getting in the way of others, focus on your feet and go for the glory on your own."
"I'll be waiting for you at the finish line and wishing you all the best of luck."
"Then I declare."
"Game start!"
