The selection competition for Princess Alicia's Guardian Knights was held as scheduled. After a few days of rest, Lily had barely adjusted her biological clock to "normal". Because it was said that this competition was held indoors, and the weather was also cloudy these days, so Lily
I'm not worried about sunlight.
This competition was set up on the west side of the palace area, which was relatively close to where Lily and the others lived, so she was not in too much of a hurry to rush there. Lily sat in front of the mirror and stared blankly at herself in the mirror, wondering what she was thinking.
"Lily!" Fan pushed the door open and came in. He was wearing the same set of equipment that he had spent a lot of money to buy before. He looked very stylish - well, it was much better than the tattered one he wore before, "How about we
Shall we go first? I feel very irritable waiting here..."
Lily glanced at Fan who was sighing, shook her head and said, "Why are you so nervous? The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes... Ha~~~~oooooo~ so sleepy..."
Lily yawned, closed her eyes and lay on the dressing table. With her back to Fan, she waved her hands and said, "Call me when you leave later~"
Fan complained with black lines on his head: "It's only ten minutes at most before departure! How long can you sleep?"
"Since you know there are still ten minutes..." Lily tilted her head, closed her left eye, and said with a smile, "Then why are you in such a hurry?"
Fan suddenly became speechless, scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "Ah... It's only ten minutes anyway. Can't I leave early so I can see the venue?"
Lily sighed and stood up from the dressing table. Fan was stunned - it turned out that Lily was wearing the combat skirt that she had always hated wearing! And she was not wearing a cloak to cover her body!
The reason why Lily is willing to wear this outfit is because in the past few days, she asked Sophia to help her make an artifact that is said to hinder human progress-safety pants! Um... No, it's bloomers! But it's the same
.
Lily, who was originally worried about being exposed, no longer had to worry about this problem at all. She checked the thin sword worn on her waist and the guard sword behind her waist, nodded and said to Fan: "Then let's go quickly ~ Impatient Fan~
"
Van dejectedly followed Lily into the carriage, and this time Aurelia followed. This time Aurelia would follow Vincent and the others into the VIP box to watch the game, so she was not afraid of being discovered.
Freya hired two carriages this time, so she didn’t have to worry about the seats this time. Lily yawned, leaned on Aurelia’s shoulder and closed her eyes to relax - it took an estimated half an hour to get there by carriage.
Around the world, "day and night reversal" will inevitably make people feel weak, so it is better to rest first.
There are a total of twenty-four people participating in this competition. Lots will be drawn before the game, and then No. 1 will vs. No. 24, No. 2 will vs. No. 23, and so on. The winning twelve people will play against each other in order, such as
No. 1 and No. 2 both won, so the next match was No. 1 vs. No. 2. In the end, six people were selected to participate in the finals.
This competition does not allow killing opponents in any way, otherwise they will be immediately disqualified, and their recommenders will also be severely fined! So Fan and Lily are not very worried about their lives. However, Lily doubts that if they meet Niels,
The other party will most likely have many ways to crush him without killing him...then he will have no choice but to hide in the mirror.
The carriage gradually stopped, and Aurelia patted Lily on the head, waking up Lily who had fallen asleep at some point. Lily rubbed her eyes in confusion, and asked blankly: "Are we here?"
"Well, it's already here." Aurelia smiled and touched Lily's head, "You have to work hard in this competition and try to enter the finals~"
Are you striving to enter the finals? Lily couldn't help but murmur in her mind - Do you have so little confidence in yourself? My goal is Pegasus! Not only do I want to enter the finals, I also want to win third place!
Aurelia followed Vincent and the others, while Lily followed Van and was taken into the lounge by the waiter who came to guide them.
The competition takes place in a ring-shaped roofed building. The players' lounge is on the first floor, and each player has his own separate room. The audience usually sits on the second floor, and there are also private boxes for nobles on the third floor. However,
From Lily's observation, this place looked like the Colosseum, and she was exactly where the gladiators and beasts were before they were released.
There is a stone ring in the circular arena that has been enchanted. Four referees are surrounded by the ring and can clearly observe every move in the arena. These specially selected referees are said to have master-level abilities.
Presumably they were the same group of people who pretended to be waiters last time, and they were all people directly loyal to the royal family.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of Lily's room, and a waiter came in with a tray in his hand. There were more than ten fist-sized transparent crystal balls in the tray. Lily asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
What?"
The waiter smiled and said: "Are you Lily N. Toredo? Please choose any number as your number."
Choose one? Mark it? Lily stared at those glass ball-like things... she stretched out her hand and picked one up. Not even a moment after she put it in her hand! A black breath appeared in the crystal ball.
The word Thirteen is formed.
This... this is so amazing! Lily kept turning the crystal ball in surprise. The words inside did not rotate, but stayed fixed there - gravity sensor!
Just when she was about to turn around and ask the waiter if this thing was for sale, the waiter had already left the room with the tray, which made Lily extremely depressed - she should buy more of these fun things for collection!
After figuring out that her number was thirteen, Lily sneaked into Fan's room. Fan was also looking at the crystal ball in his hand in a daze. Lily looked at it and saw that the number in his crystal ball was twenty-four——
Was the first to appear!
"Wow! You actually drew the highest number!" Lily snatched the crystal ball from Fan's hand, but something even more bizarre happened! After falling into Lily's hand, the number twenty-four turned into a stream of black again.
The air flow then condensed into the words Thirteen...
Lily looked at the Thirteen with black lines on her head - Is this bound to me?! How to do it? Is the number recognized?! Is the account bound?! This is unscientific!
Fan smiled bitterly and took back the crystal ball. The number in the ball changed back to twenty-four: "These crystal balls are magic items. It should be possible to change the number in each crystal ball according to each person's soul. But how to do it specifically?
I don’t know exactly what happened, so don’t look at me like that..."
"Tch~" Lily retracted her excited expression of "What's going on, what's going on?" and said with a look of disgust: "It's really boring~ I hope you don't get beaten in the first round."
Fan responded with a black line on his head: "You should be worried! Your strength is lower than mine!"
Lily held her head high and said triumphantly: "Then every time we compete in the hotel, don't I win? So what if your rank is high?"
"It's not like I kept my hand..." Fan muttered in a low voice, and then said as if he remembered something, "By the way, everyone's serial numbers will be announced outside in a while, why don't you go and see who your opponent is?
?”
"Eh? Is there such a thing?" Lily hurriedly ran back to the room and looked out through the window - she saw that the huge crystal ball suspended above the arena really showed everyone's serial number.
!Lily's opponent - the name of No. 12 is Will Delino, and he is not one of the strongest four. After looking at the other people's serial numbers, Lily's expression changed a little - Ni
Ersi is in second place, Lilsey is in ninth place, Long is in eighteen, and Lucica is in twenty-one... Long is the long-haired handsome man who had been eating snacks at the banquet, and Lucica is
He was the young man who looked very introverted. That night at the banquet, Lily found out their names from Princess Alicia.
If you take a closer look, you will find that you cannot meet the four strongest people in the first round, and you may not even meet them in the second round! Is this a secret operation? Why is it such a coincidence?! I still expect these four
One or two people can be eliminated! It must be a secret operation!
However, Lily knew that it would be useless even if she complained, so she could only wait for the broadcast of the first game.
Soon, when it was time for the game, Fan walked out of the room and came to the arena. Fan's opponent was an unattractive freckle-faced boy who looked a little younger than Fan. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and looked like he was a mage.
.
"Hello, Mr. Van Genos." The young man greeted Van politely, and Van returned the greeting: "Hello, Mr. Guise Ernier."
Fan noticed that Gith's equipment is a relatively mainstream magician set - a staff and a magic book. The staff can increase the power of magic, and the magic book can quickly extract the required magic. They are both very practical magic tools.
device.
However, although he is also a magician, he only knows some arcane magic and has no talent at all for elemental spells. Coupled with the influence of his enlightenment teacher Sophia, Fan should now be considered a melee-style mage.
After saluting each other, the two came to the arena and stood at the prescribed positions - in order to prevent the warriors or mages from being at a disadvantage due to being too close or too far apart, the arena specifically stipulated the positions of the initial players.
"Both parties are asked to choose the venue and weather." A referee who looked like he must be a magician looked at Van and Guis and said, "Please choose Mr. Guis Elnier first."
Magic has been applied to the arena, which can simulate various venues and weather. Each player can choose and specify the weather and venue. Favorable weather or venues can double their strength!
"I choose sunny weather." Giese smiled at Fan and told the referee his choice.
Is it a sunny day? Fan Ruo nodded thoughtfully: "As for the venue, let it be plain."
Sunny Day and Plains are both venues that have little impact on strength, so the choice between the two is equivalent to giving in.
After the referee announced the start of the game, the entire arena began to slowly change. A false sun appeared in mid-air, and at the same time, the arena originally made of stone also turned into dirt and grass!
Fan and Gith began to chant at the same time! Fan could tell that what Gith had prepared was Pyroblast, which was a powerful spell with relatively simple spells, but Fan was faster, and before the Pyroblast was ready,
When it's done, Brahman's magic is complete!
A stream of light blue arcane magic burst out from Van's gloved right hand! It flew straight towards Gith! This magic is exactly [Arcane Impact], attacking the opponent with pure arcane energy! If you are lucky
, and may also interrupt the opponent's spellcasting due to the explosion of arcane energy!
Logically speaking, mages should apply magic shields for themselves as soon as possible in battles, but Gith and Van both chose to use offensive magic! Just as Van was preparing the next spell, something unexpected happened.
! Gith completely ignored the [Arcane Impact] and was still immersed in chanting the curse! Just as the light blue arcane flow was about to approach Gith, a sphere covered with light green magic patterns appeared around Gith.
Magic shield! Fan screamed in his heart that it was not good - he was used to being poor and had forgotten that there was something called "magic jewelry"! It is not uncommon to find jewelry that can generate magic shields! But because of the exorbitant price,
Often left out of shopping lists!
Realizing that something was wrong, Fan immediately stopped chanting and directly activated the [Meteor Explosion] in his gloves! The blue arcane energy hit Gith like a thunderstorm! Under the impact of the intermediate arcane spell, the magic protection on Gith's body
Although the shield blocked the attack, it had become shaky!
Gith's Pyroblast Technique has been completed! The huge fireball flew towards Fan! At the same time, it suddenly exploded in front of Fan! The terrifying flames instantly engulfed Fan's body! The strong explosive force caused the turf and soil on the plain to scatter.
Come on! This made Lily outside the court couldn't help but sweat for Fan - he wouldn't just die like that, would he?
