"The first game of the team battle will be held in two days. You use this time to take good care of yourself. This is the list of survivors from each family. Take a look." Niya handed a detailed list of information to Tang Yan and showed her face.
Yixiao: "Do you still need a massage?"
"You're welcome!" Tang Yan smiled coquettishly, but immediately retorted: "Men and women are not intimate, we haven't had sex yet, people's words are scary, please bear with it first."
Odin and others couldn't help but smile, there was really nothing they could do about this little guy.
Niya was speechless and glanced at him bitterly. However, compared to the previous indifference, there was a slight smile on her lips now that she was not even aware of.
In short... although this kid deserves a beating, he is quite interesting to get along with.
Odin coughed a few times and looked at Tang Yan with a smile: "There are no outsiders now. Do you have anything to say to us?"
Tang Yan was looking at the detailed information sheet, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "What are you saying? No. Oh, are you suggesting that I prepare a betrothal gift? Are you too anxious? I am still young and not fully developed yet.
"
"Go to hell!!" Niya almost spit out a mouthful of red wine.
All the elders raised their hands to their foreheads, dumbfounded, this girl is really the best!
Odin was also shocked by these words. He coughed heavily and said: "We are all a family now. There is no need to keep secrets. Let me tell you straight, what happened in the wilderness? What did you do?
To help Ahn'Qiraj and the others break through?"
On the way back, they took turns interrogating Ahn'Qiraj, but the girls were quite 'loyal' and refused to reveal anything, saying they had promised Tang Yan to keep the secret for a lifetime.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Hei Niu has made friends with the Demon King of the Wild Forest, the Violent Demon Dog King. They have voluntarily guarded us for more than twenty days. Ahn'Qiraj and the others are already on the verge of a breakthrough. With a little experience, they can break through.
It is reasonable. You must not think that I am so complicated. It is simple. I am a mortal, but I am not a courageous pervert. Occasionally, if I have any special performance, it is just luck." Tang Yan grinned and continued to read.
Detailed information sheet.
Odin and others looked at each other, 100% sure that these words were unbelievable, but they couldn't force him, right?
They looked at each other and didn't ask any further questions.
Maybe when Tang Yan really becomes the son-in-law of the Rao family in the future, Tang Yan will tell the truth.
Odin said: "Anyway, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, they call me uncle, and I have to fulfill my responsibilities as uncle." Tang Yan expressed his attitude seriously, but before anyone could show their pleased expressions, the boy said in a blink of an eye: "Hey, I said so, are you right?
Are you very touched? The winnings from this gambling...can you share it with me?"
"After you go home, you can go to the accounting room and take whatever you want." Everyone smiled and shook their heads. There was nothing they could do to him. However, Tang Yan's cheerfulness kept the relationship close to each other, and it did not change due to excessive politeness.
of birth.
Odin said seriously: "Let's get down to business. The rules of the second stage of the team battle have been changed. First of all, the families that were completely wiped out in the first stage and the families with less than two survivors, a total of seven
, will not participate in team battles, nor will they participate in the final ranking.
In other words, including the royal family, there are a total of twenty-four teams participating in the team competition.
In the first round, lots will be drawn to compete against each other. The twelve losing teams will fight again in order to rank their strength. The last three teams will be selected as the bottom three in the final overall ranking.
In the second round, the twelve winning teams draw lots to determine their opponents and compete in a life-and-death duel in turn. The six losing teams will no longer compete, but they need to select the worst team based on the votes of all families and become the bottom of the overall ranking.
four.
In the third round, the six teams that have persisted through two rounds will determine their opponents through drawing lots, and then engage in life-and-death duels. The three victorious parties will compete in a melee, that is, the three parties will compete on the same stage. The rankings of the top three will be determined based on the order in which they fell. Those who are eliminated will
The three parties compete in a melee match, and they are also competing on the same stage. The first one to fall will be deemed the loser and will be ranked fifth from the bottom in the overall ranking, while the other two teams will be ranked fourth and fifth respectively."
"Wait! Why am I so confused? Why don't those seven families participate in the overall ranking? And... the determination of the fourth and fifth from the bottom is a bit unfair, isn't it?"
"This rule is obviously unfair, but it is reasonable. This ranking method can keep the participating teams vigilant and high-spirited at all times, allowing them to understand that victory is not achieved by moving all the way, and maybe they can persist until the last step.
The second point is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience, increase the excitement and uncertainty of major casinos, and attract more people to bet; the third point is to serve the competition.
Yes, if the rankings are determined step by step according to ordinary rules, the five at the end must be the relatively weak five among the thirty major families. The prizes they can offer will hardly arouse the interest of families such as Rubin Kimi.
To a certain extent, it will reduce the enthusiasm of the participating teams. But if one or two of the bottom five are like our family, the major participating teams will definitely try their best."
Odin spoke calmly, as if explaining the meaning of this rule, but Tang Yan felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened.
"anything else?"
"There is a fourth point, can you tell me?" Odin looked at Tang Yan with a smile.
"You want to test me?"
Odin smiled and said nothing.
Tang Yan leaned on his seat and said: "What you said makes sense, but from our point of view, the royal family is setting a trap! Whether it is the first round, the second round, or the third round
, we are all in danger of being classified as being at the bottom. If they do anything they want, we will be at the bottom. Even if we persist until the top six compete for hegemony and the royal family cheats a little bit, we will still lose miserably.
I say you, the royal family of the Delos Empire, are so shameless. You just frame them up, and you find so many high-sounding reasons and go to great lengths to manipulate the rules."
Odin nodded with a smile and said: "Your analysis is correct. Not only us, but also all the major families are being plotted. Having said so much, do you have any good solution?"
"No, these three rounds are interlocking. Even if I can persist until the last round, the royal family will definitely arrange a strong opponent for me, an opponent who has the ability to kill us. Unless I can turn things around, I can't break it.
Start this game. Huh? You don't seem worried?" Tang Yan looked at Odin and others strangely.
Odin smiled and said: "We have already figured it out. As long as nothing happens to you, it doesn't matter if you lose this game. The big deal is to pay something."
"ah?"
Niya said angrily: "Ah, what, aren't you very smart? Can't you understand what my father means?"
"Not really understand……"
"Father is willing to pay any price, and I hope you will be well."
Odin looked at Tang Yan with a kind of loving look in his eyes: "If you can really persist to the top six, it is enough to win face for me, Odin, and I am satisfied!"
Tang Yan shook his head and smiled, and continued: "We have calculated that if the Royal Family takes action in the last round, they will choose Matthews or Kane."
"Yes, you have the greatest chance of facing them in the third round. Once we meet, our defeat is almost a foregone conclusion. These two are very different from De Niro. Kane is a pure melee warrior.
Suitable for fighting in the ring, Matthews is known as the strongest genius of the new generation of the empire. If he is not two years younger than the Ninth Prince, he can definitely bully any young genius."
Tang Yan rubbed his swollen forehead and fell into deep thought.
Odin said: "You don't have to be embarrassed. It would be great to enter the top six. Once we face Kane or Matthews, we will admit defeat immediately."
"Admit defeat? How can you admit defeat so easily?"
Niya said angrily: "What else can you do if you don't admit defeat? I have told you many times that Kahn and Matthews are too strong and are far from the opponents you can challenge now. Even if they kill them on the field
You have not violated the rules of life and death, so we can find no excuse to punish them."
Tang Yan blinked and smiled: "Are you worried about me, or are you worried about being a widow?"
"Tang Yan! This is not a joke!"
Odin advised: "I used to really hope that you could get a good ranking, but now I just hope that you will be safe and sound. In the future of martial arts, you must also know how to retreat when difficulties arise, and not be too paranoid and persistent."
impossible things……"
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart. I can lose, but I can't retreat without a fight. If it doesn't work out, I will kneel down and beg for mercy. A man can bend and stretch, and I won't stick to those small details."
Niya was a little surprised: "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Just this time, it won't happen again. Give me as much detailed information on Matthews and Kane as you can. I don't want a situation like De Niro to happen again, where he almost killed me."
