It was clearly just after lunch, and the stands on both sides of the conference venue, which could accommodate a thousand people, were already packed.
Everyone is excitedly talking about the upcoming match - the 99th-placed Eastern International Student vs. the 6th-placed "Tyrant of King's Landing" Charlotte Birao.
Not only on campus, as a grand event in the magic world held every four years, underground gambling houses in London, large and small, have also opened odds for the "Night Party" event.
Especially the competition involving the "Thirteen People on the Home Page" is the focus of major gambling houses...
One pays twenty.
These are the odds offered to Luo Jie by outside gambling houses.
Although it is not very high, it is obviously not optimistic that he can win.
Luo Jie didn't agree with this. Anyway, the more the outside world badmouthed him, the more it would paralyze his opponent "Charlotte Bilau" this time, and the easier it would be for him to win when the actual competition came.
As for the gambling... To be honest, if he hadn't known that in more than a month, all the gold pounds would be turned into waste paper, he would have really wanted to borrow some loan sharks on the black market to force himself to win.
As a contestant, Luo Jie naturally did not need to go to the venue in advance to reserve a seat, so he did not slowly enter the venue through the dedicated channel for contestants until ten minutes before the official start of the game.
Among the crowded crowd in the auditorium, Luo Jie saw "Akaha Raijin" with a bitter and hateful face from a distance.
To be fair, the character of this son of the plane is really inconspicuous. It almost seems to have a "presence-50%" attribute. Even if he is alone, he can easily be ignored at a glance.
But somehow, the dolls beside him have too much presence.
The girl with long straight black hair, who was dressed as gorgeously as an oiran and full of exotic sentiments, among a bunch of weird self-propelled boilers and extraterrestrial creatures, was simply an existence from another dimension.
The puppet technology tree of Japan is indeed a bit crooked... Well, it seems that the same is true in modern society.
Feeling the gaze falling on him, "Red Feather Raijin" suddenly turned his head alertly. When he saw it was Luo Jie, he lowered his guard and raised his hand to say hello.
Although the relationship between the two is far from close friends, the same black hair and black eyes make "Akaban Raijin" who is drifting alone in a foreign country very close to him.
"Night Dire, you came quite late. I thought you were going to give up the challenge."
Luo Jie smiled disapprovingly: "Why should I give up when I'm certain to win the game?"
"You are so confident? Is it because Miss Glass helped you transform the doll?" Akabane Lei's expression showed a little regret, "Originally, I wanted to have a fight with you before, but I didn't expect you to be in the 99th place.
The position was suspended for a month.”
The rule of "Night Club" is that high-ranked players cannot challenge low-ranked players. "Akaban Raijin" has already reached the 15th place, so naturally it cannot turn around and challenge the 99th-ranked Luo Jie.
"It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities after this competition."
"It seems like you really think you're going to win... huh?"
Akabane Lei suddenly paused when he said this. Following his line of sight, he saw a beautiful blond girl with a cold and inviolable look on her eyebrows, standing on the high steps and looking towards this person.
Look over here.
Seeing "Akaban Raijin", the girl seemed to be interested, but when she saw other strangers present, she immediately retracted the steps she was about to take and shook her long curly hair as bright as gold threads.
, walking straight towards the bow of the ship with a pocket-sized gray four-winged flying dragon.
Luo Jie withdrew his eyes from the slender figure, smiled slightly and said: "Charlotte Biraud, the "Tyrant of King's Landing", apart from having a bad temper, she is actually a very beautiful girl..."
Akabane Lei explained kindly: "Actually, she's quite a nice person, but she's just not good at communicating with others."
"You really don't have a long memory, Lei Zhen."
Luo Jie raised his eyebrows meaningfully at Akabane Leizhen and made a "have a good trip" expression.
"Eh? Damn it - Nightmare, you tricked me again!"
The puppet girl who was filled with vinegar in a certain magic circuit cried and rushed forward, grabbed "Akaban Raijin" by the neck, lifted her feet off the ground and shook her back and forth desperately.
"Lei Zhen! You scumbag! You've already been together for a long time, but you still think other girls are good? And you have the kind of figure that sticks to thumbtacks on the door! Is it possible that just a human female can make you -
Love?"
Luo Jie calmly took a few steps back, avoiding the perverted looks from around him.
A few seconds later, "Akaban Raijin" skillfully escaped the chokehold attack again with veins popping on his forehead. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath, forcing a weird smile on his face.
"Yeye...guess what the dirty emotions swirling in my Yue Xiong's mouth are right now?"
"Aren't you satisfied with your desires?" "Yeye" said awkwardly, crossing her arms.
"It's anger! Anger!"
"Tch! It's all Lei Zhen's fault anyway! He obviously has a capable doll like Ye Ye, but he still wants to find another woman..."
"Don't use adjectives that are easily misunderstood!"
…
The daily jealousy between Lei Zhen and Ye Ye also temporarily came to an end when the game bell rang.
As the host announced the entrance of both contestants, a huge shadow passed over the audience, and the giant dragon-shaped doll "Sigmund" descended from the sky carrying the blond Charlotte Biraud, with four dragon wings.
The strong wind stirred up dust and sand all over the sky.
"It's the dragon-shaped doll "Sigmund"! It is said that this is the evil dragon that the first Marquis Lauby personally defeated a hundred and twenty years ago, and made its body into a taboo doll. It can be said that Lauby is
The most powerful doll that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family! Although this is not the first time I have seen it, whenever I see this huge body, it will make people feel the trembling of the soul..."
"Don't say it so literary! This is the Dragon Clan's own dragon power, which has a deterrent effect on most taboo puppets and puppet users... In other words, puppet users who are not strong enough will be in "Charlotte"
It’s hard for him to show his full strength in front of "Lauby", otherwise how can he be called a "tyrant"?"
"Is it because of "Sigmund"'s dragon power? I thought this login code was because of her bad temper..."
"Uh... no, you are right, "Charlotte Lauby's" temper is much scarier than Long Wei's."
Compared to "Charlotte Lauby's" debut, which was full of strength and shock, Luo Jie's debut was much more low-key.
He walked up directly from the steps outside the playing field.
This inconspicuous appearance immediately attracted boos from the stands. If no one still remembered the wonderful match between Luo Jie and Death Wolf Spider, some people would have thrown bottles on the ring.
