Without waiting for Fan to react, Lily pulled Fan and quickly walked out of the inner hall to a secluded part of the corridor...
"What do you have in mind?" Lily looked at Fan who was covered in cold sweat in a funny way. His face was so pale that he could compete with a vampire like herself. "Are you just simply afraid?"
"Afraid?" Fan wiped the cold sweat from his face and said indignantly: "I'm afraid! I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Blake's city because of what happened today! What on earth are you doing, Lily! Those noble masters
None of us are good!"
Lily raised her eyebrows and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Me? What are you doing? I'm collecting information, idiot! That uncle knight and that scary aunt haven't told us any information about our opponents these days - they probably think we will
Are you going to be eliminated in the first game? But do you really want to be kicked off the ring by your enemy like a lost dog? Do you really want to go up and make a fool of yourself and then come back dejected?"
"No! Of course I don't want to!" Hearing Lily's words, Fan felt a little depressed - he was just an intermediate magician, and except for arcane magic, he could hardly learn elemental magic.
Among the young talents gathered in this competition, Fan actually has no confidence at all. But if he was asked to give up like this, he would also be very unwilling to do so! "But what does this have to do with what you just did?
That woman obviously wants to trap us, right?"
"No, on the contrary." Lily shook her head and looked at Fan with a complex expression of "How can a person be so smart but so stupid?" and explained to her, "She told me a lot of useful information - this
There are four strongest combatants in this selection..."
"Isn't there three?" Although Fan was nervous just now, he also listened to what Lilsi said. Although only one person mentioned his name, he also followed Lilsi's instructions and observed the other two -
Doesn’t that add up to three people?
Lily's expression said "It's hopeless, you really are hopeless", which made Fan look very angry - just say what you have to say! I'm not stupid!
"Do you think that the person who can comment so arbitrarily on the three of them is really just an NPC responsible for commentary?" Lily deliberately sighed, making veins pop out on Fan's forehead! But what the hell is an NPC? "In my case
It seems that the four people, including the woman who claims to be Lilsi, are all powerful enemies of at least a high level! Of course, the existence of other strong people cannot be ruled out. As for Lilsi's last words, it is actually
He saw through our strength and persuaded us to leave - it can be seen that I have the lowest strength among everyone! In other words, the others are at least mid-level!"
Fan was silent - even though he was mentally prepared, Fan still felt uncomfortable when he heard that his strength was ranked last among all the people. But Lily obviously didn't think so. She clapped her hands and rolled her eyes at Fan.
Said: "Don't be so downcast! Is the winning or losing of the game determined by the amount of energy in the body? Then what kind of competition is this? Just go up one by one and compete with whoever has the most fighting spirit and magic power. Whoever wins will win faster. Isn't it faster?"
We must collect intelligence on these four people in a targeted manner to prevent us from losing instantly in the game - even if you lose, you have to lose beautifully, right?"
Listening to Lily's absurd reasoning, Fan felt much better. At least he could hypnotize himself and say that he could at least lose beautifully... What the hell! What is the point of losing beautifully? Isn't that still a loss?!
Fan covered his face and sighed - he and Lily would probably become the same complainers as Xin Ba Ji... Huh? Who is Xin Ba Ji? Don't care, let him go.
Returning to the inner hall again, Lilsey was still sitting there leisurely, but because she had eaten all the grapes on the plate, she asked the waiter to bring another small plate of strawberries... Seeing Lily and Fan walking out of the side door, Li Erxi
Erxi smiled slightly and waved to the two of them. After Lily's explanation, Fan felt that he couldn't look directly at Lierxi, who was probably a high-level powerhouse. However, Lily generously held Fan's arm and walked over and sat down again.
Next to Lilsey: "Sister Lilsey likes to eat fruits~"
Lilsey said jokingly: "My family is poor and we rarely eat such exquisite fruits. Moreover, the taste of the fruits specially provided by the nobles is indeed very unusual. Can you try it?"
Lily did not shirk, she picked up a strawberry and put it into her mouth to taste it - it must be said that it is all natural and pollution-free, and the taste of carefully selected strawberries is simply unparalleled! The sweet and sour taste is as good as the strawberry
The sweet aroma from Lily's tongue and nose constantly stimulates her taste buds! The fruits here are really great!
"Tch~ You are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world..." Just as Lily closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweet happiness coming from her mouth, an arrogant and cold voice came from behind Lily. Lily could hear it without looking back.
That person is Niels, the son of Lord Bledino whom Lilsey mentioned before.
Lily was still tasting the strawberries, while Lilsi was staring at the intoxicated Lily with a smile on her face. The two of them didn't take Nils seriously at all. But this frightened Fan - the other party was Bly.
In the Kingdom of Dino, the son of Duke Bledino, who has the most respected status except Bledino IV! Lilsey is obviously confident. Lily, a little girl with no background or support, actually dares to imitate Lilsey
Still ignoring Nils? Could it be that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...
"Lily, Lily..." Fan called Lily in a low voice, signaling her not to go too far. Lily seemed to have just woken up from intoxication, and looked at Fan confusedly: "What's wrong? Dear Fan?"
Who is your dear! Fan roared in his heart - of course it is very touching to be called like this by a pretty and lovely girl, but take a good look at the situation around you!
"Oh? Isn't this the one?" Lily seemed to have just seen Niels, and looked like she was thinking hard, "What's your name? Nios? Oscar? Scanna? Cannavaro
?”
Are you doing word solitaire?! Seeing Niels' face that originally had a arrogant and disdainful smile gradually darken, Fan now wishes he didn't appear in this horrible place at all! God! He can still wait until the competition alive.
The day it started?
"My Excellency, Nils Bledino, is a little famous in Blenno." However, Nils's palace is indeed quite rich, and his expression instantly changed from yin to yang, "It seems that the young lady must be some big shot.
, I’ve never heard of it, so it makes sense.”
In the Kingdom of Bledino, except for Princess Alicia, probably no one of her generation has a higher status than Nils! Because Nils, like Alicia, is also the only son of the Grand Duke of Bledino! Neil
Si's behavior was undoubtedly a mockery of Lily's ignorance, but Lily didn't take it seriously, and said as if she suddenly realized: "Ah! I remembered it! Your name is Nicholas, right? Oops~ I'm so sorry, what did you just say?
?There was a noisy guy before that made me lose a lot of hearing, so I can’t hear what you just said~" Nils himself was the one who made the noise just now. Of course Nils himself knows about it.
Niels could no longer keep the smile on his face, and his expression immediately turned cold: "Send your name! The little one who was recommended by Vincent!"
Lily stood up, looked up...well, looked directly at Nils, still maintaining an elegant smile on her face, raised her skirt and made a salute: "My name is Lily N. Toredo, I am very happy.
See you~Mr. Nicholas~"
"Hey! Little girl! How can Lord Nils be looked at directly by a countryman like you?" the unknown aristocratic child next to Nils immediately scolded him. Originally, he was very worried that Lily would dare to contradict Nils like this, so he said
Maybe it was someone from the princess's side, but she didn't expect that her background was just Vincent. Although Vincent had legendary strength and had the rank of legion commander, he was nothing in the eyes of the nobles.
"Ah~ I'm really sorry~" Lily looked at the young man with a smile and apologized unhurriedly, "In that case, I will just ignore Mr. Nicholas and you~"
"Pfft..." Lilsey, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but laugh, but her face immediately returned to its original calm expression - of course, the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be hidden.
"Why are you laughing?!" The young man saw that Lily really ignored his group of people and sat down, and he was immediately annoyed! At this time, Lilsey's laughter immediately pulled away the hatred, "What are you doing again?
Who is it? Why haven’t I seen you?”
"Me?" Lilsey squinted at the angry young man, but did not answer him directly, "With such poor self-cultivation, you must be from an unknown little noble family, right?"
"You!" The young man's voice suddenly choked up! Lilsey was really right! He is just the second son of a small noble family in Blake City. He can't inherit the family business or the title. It can be said that in the future he will only
Only by relying on the charity of his eldest son or working hard outside can he survive. Because he accidentally became Nils's "friend", Nils suggested that he participate in this competition with him, so that even if he can't win, he can still accumulate fame. So now
The young man fawned over Niels everywhere in the hope that he could go further in the game...
"That's enough, step back." Niels said slowly without even looking at the follower, "I apologize for my friend and I's recklessness...two ladies..."
Lily was surprised that Niels would apologize, but she didn't believe that Niels would bow down so easily.
"I really hope to compete with you two in the ring... If you can hold on until then..." The last sinister words in a deliberately lowered voice made Lily breathe a sigh of relief - this is right~
If she really apologized, Lily might still be afraid. After all, people who can tolerate it will definitely not be provoked by themselves. But now this reaction gives Lily an opportunity - it is far easier to deal with an angry opponent than to
It's much easier to deal with a calm beast!
The reason why Lily is so confident actually comes from a certain girl who has been standing quietly in an inconspicuous corner just now - Lily noticed that after Nils finished saying that he was a bumpkin, he obviously wanted to continue talking.
, but suddenly stopped! Lily quietly glanced at several directions that Nils might have noticed, and suddenly discovered a girl she had never seen before. She deliberately stood in the shadow of the corner, unless someone was very familiar with her, otherwise
Standing in that place, it would be difficult for others to recognize her appearance.
Thinking about Nils's identity, apart from the great nobles of the previous generation, the only person who can scare Nils is his sister Alicia, right? It's really interesting... the princess actually ran to
Are you here to take a peek in this kind of place? It seems that this banquet is not as simple as imagined.
Then in order to verify the true purpose of the banquet, Lily wanted to continuously provoke Niels to observe his reaction, but unfortunately a troublemaker jumped out. However, Lily also roughly came to the main purpose of the banquet-knight selection...
It's already started!
According to Lily's guess, this banquet will be the first competition, which is a literary competition! Although she doesn't know what the criteria for qualifying are, Lily guesses that the candidates are likely to be required to maintain their grace at all times - after all, it is etiquette in the royal family
Losing one's mind because of trivial things is not the quality that the future queen's guardian knight should have. Lily looked around carefully and found that many people here have realized this. Because they don't want to offend Niels, they have already
Quietly left here.
But think about it, there are many smart people in this world, and those big nobles will definitely get useful information before me. At this time, I have to complain about Vincent... That knight uncle should be completely excluded from the nobles.
Out of the circle! The waiter who brought him and others in just now didn't take the majestic Kingdom Legion Commander seriously at all! He just casually let Vincent stay in the outer hall with a calm and arrogant expression, as if...
No! That guy is definitely not an ordinary waiter!
Lily frowned and looked at the waiters walking around... Most of them were the same as the waiters who led the way before, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions, and they didn't take everyone present seriously at all! Including Nils! Lily
I don’t believe that a waiter in the palace would be such a famous person! It’s understandable to be indifferent, this is an essential quality for an excellent waiter! But as for arrogance... why would a waiter dare to be so arrogant in front of nobles?
Lily noticed that a waitress accidentally spilled a cup of wine and spilled it on the clothes of the two people who were talking. One of them became furious! Just when he was about to scold her, his companion stopped him.
, gently asked the waitress if she was hurt... Such a gentleman's behavior was completely different from his stern companion! Lily didn't believe that two people with completely different personalities could have such a friendly conversation...
In other words, is the waiter who came this time the inspector? Lily nodded thoughtfully - this makes it easier to understand. All the waiters are pretending to be an organization directly affiliated with the king, and their purpose is to screen out
Qualified candidates. However, Lily does not know the screening conditions and whether she has been excluded, but so far she can only take one step at a time...
Nils led his friends away from Lily and Fan. Lily calmly pulled Fan's right hand under the table and quickly wrote a few words. Fan, who seemed a little panicked at first, was stunned, and then frowned.
Thinking deeply - has the game actually started?
"It seems you have realized it too..." Lilsey shook her wine glass casually and laughed in a low voice, "Not bad, not bad, at least you are qualified to participate in next month's competition."
"Qualification? I already have it?" Lily was a little stunned - was she saying that she had already qualified? She hadn't done anything, right?
Lilsey smiled and said nothing - this kind of thing...who knows? Haha~
