Chapter 1063 The Game Begins!
The Neverwinter people soon ushered in the start day.
Although the first Victory Day Games was arranged hastily and crudely, with neither opening ceremony nor on-site commentary, it was undoubtedly another grand celebration for the locals.
No one needs to call or organize. As soon as it gets light, people will spontaneously flock to Kingdom Avenue, trying to get a good seat at the front. Since the snow has not melted yet, almost everyone has a small bench or a leather cushion, and there are many families who come together. This migration-like scene amazed the traveling merchants, and the vendors who had predicted the situation in advance had already carried their bags filled with food and drinks and started selling loudly along with the team.
The center of the avenue where the race ended was already crowded by noon. It was conservatively estimated to be about 10,000 people, and there were still people coming from both places in a steady stream - this allowed Roland to once again appreciate the people's attachment to entertainment in that era. Enthusiasm for activity. You must know that walking twenty-eight kilometers is definitely not an easy task. He deliberately set the competition time at two o'clock in the afternoon to give the people of the country ample preparation time, but he did not expect that everyone's response exceeded his expectations. .
As the King of Graycastle, he naturally does not have to crowd with his subjects. As early as a day ago, the Ministry of Construction built a stepped viewing platform here that can accommodate a hundred people for the use of Neverwinter's high-level officials. Surrounding it is the defense line built by the First Army's human wall, which separates the viewing platform from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of contestants. There are 1,462 people in total." Shujuan came over holding a thick stack of paper, "However, due to the registration time, it only has the simplest classification and statistics. If If you can give me two more days..."
"It doesn't matter," Roland waved his hand, "The purpose of the sports meeting is to strike while the iron is hot. If it is postponed until after the expedition, the original intention of holding it will be lost."
He casually looked through the list and found that the other person was a little humble - the above classification was not only detailed to the residential area, but also attached the simplest summary of his life and work experience. Being able to find out this information in such a short period of time is probably something only Shujuan can do.
In the list, he saw several interesting names.
For example, old buddy Yorko.
Lucia's sister Ling.
As well as the trio of the original Alchemist Association, etc...
There is no doubt that even if there are no witches participating in this game, they have little hope of winning. They are basically going for the "participation is the most important" slogan in the propaganda.
The most promising ones are mostly concentrated on the first page.
Roland set his sights on the two people at the top of the list - Dawn of Dawn Felin Hilt and Chief Knight Carter Lannis, "Do you think the champion will be born between the two of them?"
Shujuan rolled up her hair and smiled, and did not answer directly, but her expression already gave the answer.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time." Barov, who was sitting in the lower seat, reminded.
"Well," Roland put down the list and picked up the phone prepared beside him, "then let the game begin."
…
"Well, I still don't understand one thing," Goulds, wearing a desert-style fighting robe and doing warm-up exercises in the crowd, muttered while jumping, "The chief's city is divided into two regions, right? Since they are running towards the middle together, how can he ensure that everyone starts at the same time? The most important thing in a sacred duel is fairness. If fairness is lost, not only will this honor be impossible, but the great chief's reputation may also be damaged."
Who knows, and that’s not the point at all, okay? "Father..." Rohan said with difficulty, "Can you take off the hairband on your head? And the mink wrapped around your waist..."
He never expected that after spending a huge sum of money to watch "Wolf Heart", his father would become obsessed with him. While repeatedly lamenting his daughter's beauty and beauty, he was also sad that he was afraid of being criticized by everyone in the past and forced his daughter to The practice of covering up lycanthropic parts. According to the other party's original words, he was stupid and cowardly, which caused Luojia to suffer too many undeserved grievances, and also caused her to miss the most dazzling years as a goddess. It can be said that she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a father at all. .
Well, even if these are true, it doesn’t mean that I would wear hand-sewn cloth earbands and tie a piece of fur as a tail!
You are the leader of the Kuangyan Clan! Rohan shouted in his heart, if this image was spread back to Bishui Port, how would he face the leaders of other clans?
"This is my compensation to her, don't say any more." Gulz said seriously, "The fearless courage she showed in the shadow made me really feel ashamed. She didn't care about the eyes of others and insisted on the path she chose. , I taught her this way, but I failed to do it myself. If you want to calm down the dispute, rather than hiding your flaws, it is better to show them openly - if more people can accept this look, then the wolf-turned-Lorja It can’t be called a monster anymore.”
"..." Rohan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to start persuading him.
"I heard you were questioning His Majesty the King's fairness just now?" Someone suddenly spoke to him, "Outlander, you know nothing about His Majesty's talent. The masterpiece he created can instantly connect two places, allowing people to talk on the phone even though they are hundreds of miles apart. It’s like facing each other! Do you see what’s hanging above your head?”
Rohan looked in the direction of his finger and saw two huge tubular objects hanging on the tree trunks by the road. Their dark appearance could not be related to the sound transmission technology.
"That's called a loudspeaker! It can amplify sound dozens of times. When it is connected with a telephone, a magical creature that can communicate between two places, it can ensure that we and the people in Changge District can hear His Majesty's command at the same time. ." The man said proudly.
"Oh! That's it!" Gulz clapped his hands and said, "Since we can ensure fairness, I have to take it seriously!"
"But uncle, your body is really strong... You put on short clothes just after winter, isn't it cold?" He looked at Goulds curiously, "And this pair of pointed ears and headwear-"
It's over, it's coming... Rohan closed his eyes with difficulty, and the other party would definitely sneer at him, and there were only two results: the father would hold back, and the two of them would be embarrassed; or he would get angry and beat the other party. Half dead, it is impossible to predict how bad the impression it will have on the war chief.
"I'm imitating the Ice and Snow Princess, right? It's quite interesting..." The man continued, "Can you tell me where to buy it?"
Eh--! ?
Rohan couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Hahaha, this is..."
Just when Goulds was about to answer, a harsh hissing sound suddenly came from the black tube called a trumpet——
"Hello everyone...Zi...I am His Majesty Roland Wimbledon."
The noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
"I believe you already know the rules of the game clearly, but I still want to reiterate here that the result is not the most important. This will be a challenge to yourself. As long as you try your best, no matter whether you make it to the end or not, you will win. He is a great winner. So don’t focus on taking advantage of others or getting in the way of others. Focus on your feet and win glory on your own."
"I will be waiting for you at the finish line and wish you all a good result."
"Then I declare."
"Game start!"
