The bright moonlight looked down on the earth from the cold night sky, and a breeze blew by, rolling up the sparse dead leaves on the ground, as if to remind people that the cold winter has come.
Ryan sat under the big tree in the yard, leaning against the thick trunk, looking up at the night sky.
Tomorrow is the day for the match between the Leisi team and the Royal Knights team. During these few days, the Royal Athletic Competition is running normally. The Leisi team defeated the Xiurei team, and the Royal Knights team easily defeated the Northland Herdsmen team.
The ashamed members of the Northland Herdsmen team left the imperial capital overnight, which became a topic of conversation for many people in their spare time.
It is not surprising that the Whispering Hunters from the south were able to defeat their opponents. After all, the Offalia mercenary team entered the top eight by luck. Now they have lost the game, but
It shows that the goddess of luck no longer sets her sights on them.
The fact that the Goddess Team was able to defeat the Gulf Gentlemen Team surprised many people. However, both sides fought hard in that game. Although the Gulf Gentlemen Team lost, three members of the Goddess Team also came off due to injuries. It is said that they may not be able to win.
Off to the next game.
Of course, these are not within the scope of concern of those nobles. The most talked about in the imperial capital now is the captain of the goddess team, the beautiful girl Catherine Landy. During the game against the Gulf Gentlemen, her veil was pulled down by her opponent. As a result
His peerless appearance shocked the opponent, and only then did her companion, the magician named Karhit, succeed in a sneak attack.
From the moment the Goddess Team stumbled into the top four, almost everyone had a conclusion for the next three games. It was basically impossible for the Goddess Team to defeat the Silent Hunters, unless there was a God of Light.
asylum, but obviously this is impossible.
As for Leisi and the Royal Knights, there is not much suspense at all. How could the Royal Knights, who have dominated the Royal Athletic Competition for twenty years, lose to an adventure team of varying strengths that was only formed for half a year?
Although this team of adventurers called "Leis" defeated the magic genius Bailey-Reeves, the strength of the Royal Knights was not something they could compete with. The "Northland Herdsmen" composed of brave and skilled Clay warriors
The team only supported the Royal Knights for a few minutes, not to mention that this team of adventurers called "Leisi" had only been formed for half a year. In the previous games, they relied entirely on a few teammates in the team.
It is only through his personal strength that he has achieved his current record.
Ryan sighed softly. Indeed, Raisi Team still needs time. If Raisi Team is given another half year, Ryan will be very sure to compete with the Royal Knights. But now, he can only do his best.
, but this is not a bad thing. Without such experience, how can you improve your own strength?
"Lian, haven't you rested yet?" Allendo's voice appeared in Ryan's ears.
Ryan put away his thoughts, lowered his head and looked at Allendo who was walking towards him, nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm thinking about something."
Allen raised his hand, threw a large ball of stuff in his hand towards Ryan, and said, "Go on."
Ryan casually grabbed the thing Allendo threw over and looked at it in the moonlight. It turned out to be a roast beef leg. Ryan said with a smile: "It seems that we haven't sat together eating meat and chatting like this for a long time?"
"Yeah." Allendo agreed to Ryan, walked to Ryan's side, and sat down slowly.
"Here." Allendo took off a big bag from his waist, handed it to Ryan and said, "Drink."
Ryan took the bag, opened it and smelled it. It turned out to be clear water. He was overjoyed and said, "It's really great, Alando."
Ryan raised his neck and took a sip of water, then wiped the water around his mouth with his sleeve, and said happily: "It's still more comfortable to drink water. Ever since I came to the imperial capital, Fanny always wants me to learn to drink, ugh!"
Allendo put the roasted beef shank with the knife in his other hand to his mouth, bit off a large piece of meat, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Ryan, what are your plans?"
?”
Ryan was stunned. He turned his head to look at Alando and asked, "Why did you ask about this?"
Allendo chewed the beef slowly, swallowed it, and then said to Ryan: "I'm not referring to tomorrow's game. In fact, this kind of game does not fully reflect the strength of each team."
"Yeah." Ryan replied while eating beef.
Allendo continued: "It's been a long time since I came to the Imperial City. Don't you miss nature?"
Ryan said with emotion: "To be honest, when I first came to the Imperial City, I was full of excitement. This is the largest city on the mainland. I only knew a little bit about it from other people's narratives. Although I told you
The person I described has only been as far as Alfa City, and everything he did was based on other people's descriptions."
"But after staying for so long, I feel a little confused. Maybe I don't like this kind of life in my heart? Although I don't have to worry about food and drink every day, and I don't have to think about spending gold coins, but I still miss the people I just met you.
During that time, we took risks together, struggled together, and grew up together."
"Yes!" Alan nodded and said, "The days are so comfortable now, so comfortable that people feel lazy and don't want to move. I remember that you used to compete with me every morning to see who got up earlier, and then we practiced together until
Everyone was sweating profusely, and then they were so tired that they lay on the ground and didn’t want to get up.”
"Yes," Ryan said, "Now that I think about it, it is the life in the imperial capital that has restricted us. The comfortable days make people corrupt. What Teacher Ghalib said at the time was really correct. Unfortunately, I did not understand what he meant at the time.
, but now I understand.”
"oh?"
"Ellendo, do you know? When Teacher Ghalib taught me martial arts, he once said to me, 'When you reach the top of the mountain, you find that there is a higher mountain ahead, and this one is invisible at the bottom of the mountain.
.’ I finally understand this sentence now.”
Allen nodded.
"I promise you, Alando." Ryan raised his head and took a sip of water, and then said: "Everything must have a beginning and an end. When the Royal Athletic Competition is over, no matter what the result is, we will leave the Imperial Capital together and return to where we came from.
Let’s live a life of adventurers. The Royal Tournament is a high mountain, but it is not the end of our journey!”
Having said this, Ryan stretched out his right fist and lightly touched Alando's right fist. Then Ryan turned his wrist and held Alando's right hand tightly.
The two of them said a word that made people's blood boil at the same time: "Good brothers!"
