I don’t know whether it was because she tried her best in the quarter-finals, but the popular player Layla, who has attracted much attention, failed to continue to create miracles. Regrettably, she only achieved third place in the selection. However, this result was not good for her.
In fact, it is enough, because she did not step onto the field to attract attention from the beginning. Now, the girl who holds a spot in the main competition is taking advantage of the last moment before the start of the competition in order to perform at a better level.
After a short period of arduous special training, Phyllis, who occasionally came to Chateau to visit Sino, revealed that she broke three rackets in one week, giving George, who was responsible for repairing the props, a headache.
On the other side, Gloria, who also has a spot in the main draw, is also working hard. Although she initially participated in the competition because of the curse, she got in-depth contact with the sport, especially after watching Miss Leila’s wonderful performance in the quarterfinals.
After the game, Gloria had already felt the charm of Fenghuaqiu and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the role she played. She was gearing up, waiting to make a splash in the trials and greet the cheers and cheers from the audience as the winner.
In Alice's words, it "fired up."
Of course, the golden retriever maid also contributed to this. As for what the credit was... Anyway, this is what Gloria said exactly: "I don't want to be eliminated in the first round like Alice. That would be too embarrassing.
Got it!"
For this reason, she borrowed the courts of Chateau Manor for training more frequently, and declined Alice's offer to be her sparring partner, preferring to play ball against the wall alone. Having been rejected by the kindness, the Crimson Final Demon King held a grudge and plotted secretly.
He came up with a vicious revenge plan, determined to make this guy who looked down on him pay a heavy price. As for what the plan was, it is not convenient to reveal it now, but it was so vicious that even Alice would tremble after hearing it.
The shadow from the Crimson Final Demon King is surging under the calm daily life, and a huge conspiracy shrouding the championship is about to unveil... right?
After the trials, instead of getting free time, Xino became even busier. Every morning before dawn, she would ride her beloved horse Brandi and leave the manor, and did not return until the evening. She looked like
He is like a tired traveler returning home, but his eyes are still bright and full of energy. Including the old butler of the manor, Weber, seems to be busy with something unknown to everyone, causing the huge Chateau
Only outsiders like Ringe were active in the manor, and it seemed that they were the owners of the manor.
In addition, Sino's grandfather, Mr. Van Indru, the patriarch of the Costafa family, has become more reclusive. Usually when Ringer and others come to visit Chateau, he can occasionally be seen pushing a wheelchair walking along the tree-lined avenues.
, or looking at the sky from behind in the cypress forest, but I almost never saw him again, except for the one time when he entrusted Lin Ge to bring Rorona to the manor and express his gratitude in person for the potion. After that meeting, Lin Ge
Ge privately asked Rorona if the medicine was really useful? Has Mr. Van Yandru's injury been cured? Why is he still sitting in a wheelchair?
At that time, Rorona said to Ringer in a conclusive tone: The medicine is very effective. Mr. Van Yandru's injuries must have been cured. This is a fact that can be observed with the naked eye. As for why he is still sitting in a wheelchair
Yes, maybe it's because of... psychological factors.
"Psychological factors?"
"Yes, his body has recovered. From a physiological point of view, as long as he does not encounter any serious illness, it should not be a problem to live for another ten years; however, there is a deep twilight in his heart, just like
It is like a withered and decayed dead wood, preventing him from continuing to develop the will to live. To put it in a layman's terms, his body is still alive, but his heart is dead."
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Ringer has heard this saying before, but this is the first time he has seen a real example. Moreover, when he recalled his tone and demeanor when he met the old man, he really couldn't tell that he had been stimulated in any way;
With his current age and physical condition, it would be difficult for him to go to the battlefield and fight with the sealed beast, right? How could he be willing to die if he was like this?
Ringer couldn't figure it out, and it seemed like there was no time for him to figure it out, because before he knew it, time had passed and it was September 20, the day when the main game of the championship started.
Of course, as usual, there will not be any formal competition on the first day of the main competition, but it will be divided into two parts: a lottery ceremony and an exhibition match. The former is to divide the sixty-four main competition players into eight groups to compete.
The latter invites two popular players from among the contestants to play an exhibition match that has nothing to do with results, to heat up the atmosphere for the main event. The player invited to this year's exhibition match is the famous "Caesar" who is no less famous.
Regarding his "Moon Goddess", it is said that taking into account the psychology of some young viewers, the organizer originally wanted to invite Miss Gloria, "the youngest main contestant in history", to play in this exhibition match, but the latter dismissed her as "
I declined on the grounds that I want to focus on the main match. Afterwards, a street newspaper quickly published a headline: "Surprise! A certain player actually commented on Caesar and Luna: third-rate players who only rely on exhibition matches to attract attention..."
…》
This led to another scolding battle, and the three parties were very quarrelsome. I can only say that it really heated up the atmosphere of the main game.
As parents (Fog), Linge and Saint Xalia will accompany Gloria to participate in the lottery ceremony. As for a certain crimson final devil who excitedly shouted that he also wanted to go, they jointly sealed him in the lottery ceremony.
Cloud Whale Sky Island to prevent her from coming out to harm the world. This made the anger in the heart of the Crimson Final Demon King more and more uncontrollable, and secretly decided to carry out the evil conspiracy in advance...
Xino originally wanted to go, but not with Gloria, but with her friend Leila. Although she has been very busy recently, the girl still managed to squeeze in because she had promised her a long time ago.
After a while, she went to the scene in person to accompany her friends to witness the important moments in her life. However, just when she was about to board the carriage and go out, she was stopped by the old housekeeper Weber who came in a hurry.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time, Miss Xino." The old housekeeper, who rarely appears in the manor recently, took a step forward and lowered his voice to avoid being heard by the other three people in the carriage: "Master, please go to his house."
Let’s go to the study, I have something important to say.”
Xino stopped in his tracks, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he asked directly: "Is it about the beast?"
The old butler Weber was startled. He did not expect that the lady would point out this matter in front of the guests, but there was nothing unusual in the carriage, as if the three guests did not hear this sentence. Weber seemed to understand something,
Nodding slightly: "Yes."
"I see."
Xino let out a breath, laughing at himself that he was about to break the appointment again, and then turned back to Linge and others in the carriage and said: "Sorry, it seems that I can't go into the city with you. Please tell Leila,
Just say..."
She thought for a moment and didn't know how to explain it, so she simply shook her head: "Forget it, just say that I have something to do and can't be there. I will explain it to her in person when we meet next time."
Through the car window, Ringer nodded slightly, which was regarded as an agreement, so the girl turned around and left without hesitation, her snow-white ponytail fluttering gently in the wind, and her back showed no trace of nostalgia.
The old butler Weber bowed apologetically to everyone, then turned around and left with Xino.
In the carriage, Gloria looked at this scene and was confused. Saint Xalia whispered: "She seems to be working very hard."
"Yes, but this is her own choice."
Ringer looked at the girl's retreating back, expressionless: "We can't stop it."
