Although I have extremely complicated feelings about the next game, no matter what, it will be held as scheduled.
The top four in the Hawke Empire this time include Bectar, Brie Barnes, Annelotte and Ray. Although the representatives selected by the Hawke Empire are less than a quarter of the total number of participants, it is only now that people have discovered how terrifying the official power of the Hawke Empire is. Two of the top four are from the Hawke Empire. Officially affiliated with the Force, another contestant, Brie Barnes, also has a close relationship with the Hawke Empire. It can be said that the only civilian representative and grassroots hero among the top four in this competition is Regnar.
Perhaps because of this inexplicable sense of identity, the support rates of both sides in this competition are not ridiculously high. According to official statistics from the Hawke Empire, the support rate for the match between Annelotte and Regnar is only three to one. Of course, it's Annelotte three and Regner one.
Such a ratio can be said to be very rare in competitions in which Annelotte participates, because basically whenever she appears, the support rate is completely one-sided. In one of them, Annelotte created a 27-to-1 advantage. popularity.
The reason why Regner's data is not so ugly is, firstly, because he belongs to the grassroots lineup, and secondly, because he defeated Rego. People in the Hawke Empire believe that as long as this barbarian still appears on the field, it is against him. Their kind of insult shows that they have no one in the Hawke Empire. Regnar saved the face of the Hawke Empire and prevented him from entering the semi-finals. Thirdly, it was also because Regnar lost his disguise in the match with Rego. There is no doubt that Regnar's handsome face has a bit of a weak face, just like the boy next door. It's quite endearing when you go up there.
But even if Regnar was the ultimate shota who was so cute that it drove women crazy, he still couldn't compare to Annelotte's fatal attraction to men. Therefore, three to one ratio is already a very gorgeous statistic for Regnar.
Regnar was waiting for the game to start in the lounge, although this was his Nth game. But to him, perhaps only today's event is truly meaningful. Because the reason why he came to participate in this competition was just for this one. He took two deep breaths, and then remembered what Vera had said to him an hour ago in the tavern.
"Nervous?" Vera asked.
"I... I don't know." Regnar smiled bitterly; "I don't care about winning or losing the game, but I'm a little afraid of knowing Annie's attitude."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Vera punched Regnar in the chest: "Don't forget who you are facing? That's Annie! Your companion who has been with you for three years, how could you be with her? Nervous in front of you?”
"I'm just afraid that she will never pay attention to me again..." Regnar said sadly.
"How is that possible?" Vera was full of confidence: "I know Anne's personality very well. Since she is angry with you, it means she still cares about you. Let me tell you, even if she ignores you, it is a good sign. The only problem is How do you calm her down?"
"..." Regnar was silent for a long time, and then nodded: "That's right, didn't I come to the competition just to calm her down?"
"That's it, show some momentum, show some confidence, my little Lei has never been a timid guy!" Vera patted Regna's back hard and encouraged.
…
Regnar couldn't help but smile as he thought about it. What's there to worry about? At least today, I can see your face again, right? What am I worried about!
"Lei, you can play." The staff came over and informed.
"Okay." Regnar took a deep breath, then stood up and walked out of the lounge. Not far from the outside was the portal leading to the arena. Regnar stood in front of the portal and hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.
Deafening cheers rang out, and many spectators roared wildly. In their opinion, this semi-final is much more interesting than the other one.
After all, one of the contestants in that game, Bree Barnes and Bectar, was an old man in his sixties or seventies, and the other was an unshaven middle-aged uncle. How can there be anything interesting about this scene between two boys and girls who are only seventeen or eighteen years old
Besides, the purpose of the Hawke Empire's organization of this competition is to select talents. Annelotte and Lei obviously meet this condition better than those two guys. You must know that the two of them are probably not as old as Bectar together, but their strength is not necessarily weaker than Bectar. A young man with such good looks, talent, and talent is the rising star that everyone is looking forward to. Therefore, many people even think that this semi-final will be more attractive than the finals.
The strong sunlight at noon made Regnar, who was in a dark lounge, a little uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes, and then saw an icy blue figure not far away in his trance.
"Annie..." Regnar was overjoyed that she was here after all. In fact, what Regnar was most afraid of was not that Annelotte ignored him, but that she would not come to participate in the competition at all. If he fought so hard to get here and Annelotte didn't even fight him, then the ending would be too bloody.
"Listen to the cheers of the audience! The two contestants are already in place!" The host seemed to be particularly enthusiastic today: "Okay, audience friends, although the two of them are now in Melinder, they can They are said to be household names, but according to the rules, I still have to introduce them again.”
The whole audience burst into boos. They couldn't wait to see this game. As a result, this stubborn host is still chattering here, as if he would make the game more exciting by saying a few more words.
"First of all, it's the handsome and mysterious young assassin!" The host showed his professionalism over the years. He completely ignored the boos from the audience and just introduced the two people according to the procedure. He first pointed his finger at Lei Gerner: "He can be said to be the most low-key and mysterious contestant in this competition, but he is also one of the strongest contestants. Maybe his previous record will make us think that he is just a very lucky kid. But in the last game, he made all the voices of doubt and disdain disappear. Because he defeated the unstoppable Rego and expelled this barbarian from the top four of the game! He restored the dignity of the northerners and used his own This action gave those self-righteous barbarians a resounding slap in the face!"
"Barbarians are so hated... Can this guy Rego return to his hometown alive?" Regnar said dumbfounded. Although Rego severely injured himself, after that game, he Inexplicably, he felt less hostile towards the barbarian. After all, although this guy is a bit arrogant and rude, he is also an upright man. This kind of person looks like a porcupine with thorns from a distance, but if you get close to him, you will also find his cuteness.
But no one cares about Rego's life or death now. They all focus on Regnar. Just listen to the host say: "Although he is only a young man, he has the strength to be proud of most people present. His name is, Lei!!!"
When the host said Regna's name, one-third of the women present cheered. When Regnar's true identity was revealed, it caused quite a stir in Melinder, and then various voices denounced Regnar. Many women said that it was a pity that such a handsome young man was turned into a pig head by that foot-picking man. And now when Regnar appeared again, they were surprised to find that Regnar's face seemed to have recovered under the priest's treatment.
If it was Kordak, this guy would have been elated if he heard such loud cheers. But Regner didn't dare, because these women were all cheering for him. He thought that Annelotte, who was as arrogant as ice, and Irene, who was as gentle as water, would not say anything because of this, but he was not sure whether Inelise would choke him with something sour because of it. And this little girl's words were indeed very sharp sometimes, and Regnar had been choked by her many times and couldn't breathe.
But fortunately, the woman's scream didn't last long and was covered up by a stronger cheer, because the host began to introduce Annelotte.
"The next one, oh~~~!" the host said in a pretentious manner: "She is the most dazzling pearl of the Imperial Court Mage Association. At the same time, I believe she will also become a bright star in the entire human magic world. Rising Star! She is the biological daughter of the Imperial Sword Spirit, the great Swift Wind Sword Master Mr. Malolite, the youngest magic consultant in the history of the Court Mage Association, and the most popular contestant in this competition, no one! She is a collection of talents , a legendary girl who is beautiful, wise, rational, mysterious, and noble, tell me, her name is!!!"
"Annelotte!!!" Ninety percent of the men on the field roared out Annelotte's name in an almost wolf-like manner. Then there were waves of cheers. Listening to the sound, which was like a landslide and a tsunami, Regnar couldn't help but sigh that his popularity was only irritating compared to Annie...
"Oh! It seems that our Miss Annelotte's popularity is really not that high!" The host said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, I am also one of Miss Annelotte's fans. Okay, don't talk too much. . Of the two of them, one is a low-key and mysterious genius young assassin, and the other is a beautiful and powerful genius girl mage. Who among these two is the first person of the younger generation in this competition in the Hawke Empire? Let’s just say Let’s wait and see! Now, let’s start the game!”
