The crowd burst into flames!
Amid the cheers of the onlookers, hundreds of people marched along the Kingdom Avenue towards Changsong Fortress like a surging tide. The police teams serving as referees and rescuers also rode their bicycles and followed closely on both sides of the crowd. These alternative knights in uniform and bright ribbons attracted the attention of many audiences.
The same scene also happened at the starting point of Changge District.
At the same time, with the same purpose, more than a thousand people took their legs to the end, not to escape for their lives, nor to live. They vented their physical strength without any hesitation, and did not need to care about the return after the event. This kind of unconventional spectacle is destined to spread the reputation of Neverwinter to every corner of the continent.
The first organized long-distance running competition in human history kicked off in this new capital.
…
"Sister, why didn't you participate?" On the finish stand, while Lance was leaning on the railing and yelling, Cole turned his head to look at Edith and said, "If it's just a test of endurance, you should be able to get it too. rank?"
Probably because he brought Lance here from his father, the other party has been in a good mood recently. Not only is he always ready to answer his questions, but he also avoids the cost of being teased. Otherwise, he would never dare to use such trivial questions. to disturb the old lady.
"Oh?" Edith glanced at him sideways, "what if you got it?"
"Uh, but weren't you very keen on this kind of competition before?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't get the title of Pearl of the North, Cole thought. In his eyes, the old lady used to be a master with excess energy. During the day, she fought with a group of knights in full swing, and her peers who flipped over with one hand and one sword could line up from the Evernight Castle to the gate of the city. And in the evening, she was the most dazzling flower in the banquet. It was not a problem to fight wine and accompany her. Even after seeing Tifeko once, she was obsessed with her, which shows her charm.
Because she can be seen in most competitions and banquets in the north, she has become a household name in the area. In the past, she would never have missed this kind of celebration hosted by His Majesty the King.
"Because the family needed me to do that in the past." Edith shrugged, "If I don't expand the influence of the Kant family as soon as possible, my father won't be able to get that Duke position, even if I have to be like a clown to attract the attention of those idiots, To please them." At this point she sneered, "You don't think I like it, do you?"
Cole couldn't help feeling a chill hit his face.
"No, I just..."
"But now, I don't need to sweat to get His Majesty Roland's attention." Fortunately, the other party did not pursue his fault. "And... I'm not alone anymore."
Cole couldn't help but froze for a moment, "Not... alone?"
Edith glanced at Lance who was screaming, and then looked at him again, "I still have you guys, don't I?"
The chill dissipated in an instant, and Cole subconsciously raised his chest and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
And Edith just smiled slightly, and then moved her gaze back to the high platform, "It will be the greatest help to me to work hard in the Executive Office."
…
"Whoosh... Whoosh," Goulz slowed down, "we... how many ways do we have to go?"
"The sign we passed just now is fourteen, which means we've only run halfway." Rohan said worriedly, "Father, are you all right? If we're too short of breath, we'll stop and rest for a while. Well, there are so many people behind anyway."
As the game progressed, the crowd that was crowded at the beginning was quickly pulled into the shape of an arrow, and then the arrow turned into a long line, and now the line is no longer visible.
Obviously, there are not many people who can run for more than half an hour in one breath. From the beginning to the present, there are only a handful of runners who have surpassed them. Going on at this pace, not to mention getting the ranking, it should be a sure thing to finish the race smoothly.
Rohan was more worried about his father's body.
In fact, this is more laborious than crossing the desert. At least the former does not limit the time. As long as the route is planned, it is guaranteed to obtain supplies from the oasis, and it is always possible to reach it step by step. But running is different. If you want to maintain a high speed, the physical consumption will continue to increase, and my father has not done such vigorous exercise for a long time.
"You want to give up again?" Goulz glared at him, "Because it's not the last one?"
"I… "
"If it was Lorgar, you wouldn't say such a thing. When can you be like her, do your best for a goal and move forward bravely? Have you never thought about winning everyone?"
If it was in the past, Rohan would only choose to be silent, but for some reason, he felt a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, making his chest feel uncomfortable.
How am I going to win
Poison the third sister's cup, or publish the news of her wolf transformation to the public
Otherwise, how could it be possible to defeat a goddess who had obtained the power of the three gods
He can't even beat the chief guard of the family!
And if you want to hold the position of the number one clan in Iron Sand City, Kuangyan must ensure sufficient combat power. Lorgar later became the best heir in everyone's eyes. There is nothing to say. But he chose to retreat silently and avoid internal disputes. Isn't it an act for the clan
Why have you never noticed me
Perhaps it was because it was far away from the South, or maybe he had held it for too long, or maybe there was a reason why his father was dressed so strangely, Rohan argued loudly for the first time, "I was worried about your condition! You are here, I have already run to the front!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
Such words are simply mocking the other party for dragging him down.
He wriggled his mouth, trying to make amends before his father became furious, but heard Goulz reply, "Then you can run away alone."
"Father, I mean..." Rohan bit his head and turned his head away, expecting to see the other's annoyed face, but unexpectedly there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to reveal your thoughts, right?" Goulz sighed, "Actually, you're right, I'm really old, no matter how powerful I was before, I can't change the influence of time. "He paused. "If that's the case, then leave me alone. You're actually very good at long-distance running, right?"
Rohan froze suddenly.
"There is an old saying in the clan that if you practice anything for ten years, no matter how stupid people are, they will become outstanding." Goulz stopped slowly, "Don't worry about me, I will walk slowly."
He clenched his fists, and after a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice, "Then I'll take a step first."
"Wait," Goulz called to him again just as he turned around, "put those two things on."
"Father"
"Even if Lorgar has left the clan land, she is still a member of Kuangyan and your biological sister. We should do our best to help her in any way." The ear headdress was worn on top of his head, "Go, let the Great Chief see the abilities of the people of Mojin."
Rohan didn't answer, he gave his father a quiet look, then spread his legs.
The wind is flowing again.
His speed was getting faster and faster, and he could hear the exclamations of the roadside audience at first, but it was completely overwhelmed by the wind blowing in the back.
And Rohan didn't feel tired at all, he felt he could go faster.
At this moment, the body seems to be full of power.
His father had been watching him!
In order to make Sanmei's status undisputed, he has endured numerous criticisms, both from outsiders and from within. Whenever it was unbearable, he would quietly leave the Iron Sand City at night and run alone among the small oasis. It is a kind of vent, but also wants to prove himself from another aspect: he is not good at martial arts, but he may be better than Lorgar in other aspects, such as joint hunting. Endurance and persistence are the most important aspects of driving away prey in joint hunting.
Although this idea did not come true in the end.
Rohan had thought that this little attempt would go unnoticed, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
"You're actually good at long-distance running, aren't you?"
"Anything that takes ten years of practice, no matter how stupid people are, will become outstanding."
His father's words lingered in his ears repeatedly.
Yeah? It turns out you found out from the beginning.
Rohan quickened his pace a little more.
From the day he ran in the oasis until now.
Exactly ten years!
