[Chapter 2 today ^_^, today’s mission is completed. There will be another chapter at 12 o’clock in the evening! 】
Chapter 48 [The whole army starts gambling]
In the afternoon, Du Wei came to the military camp next to the castle. Now there were more than three hundred private soldiers guarding the castle in the military camp.
Because of Du Wei's kidnapping by the magician, in order to strengthen the security of the castle, the family has already mobilized a light infantry regiment to this military camp. The Luo Lin family's private army is currently responsible for guarding the security of the castle and surrounding areas.
The number of people has reached one thousand.
Du Wei rode into the military camp in a swaggering manner, and Knight Robert came immediately with his people.
Because of Du Wei's kidnapping, Robert was demoted by half a level after he came back, but it was only a nominal demotion. He still leads the cavalry, and he will find an excuse to be reinstated before the end of the year.
Already.
After Du Wei walked into the military camp, everyone immediately noticed... this young master's horse!
That carefully selected horse is the best in the entire castle... This horse has been coveted by even Robert the Knight for a long time...
But now, this horse with a snow-white mane... its tail is already bald!
Seeing Master Du Wei sitting upright on this bald-tailed horse, but still seeming very happy... Robert suddenly felt his scalp numb: What does this young master want to do?
"Dear Robert Knight, I just came to see what the young men in the family are doing." Du Wei smiled in a harmless manner.
"Master, it's still spring. The spring drill has just ended. Everyone is still repairing work recently. As for the daily patrols, the cavalry is doing it... I wonder what you want to see?" Robert looked at Du Wei's face.
With a smile on his face, his heart suddenly moved, and he tentatively said: "Perhaps you want to go hunting? If so, I will immediately summon a team of cavalry to accompany you."
In Robert's opinion, the young master who was grounded was probably bored and wanted to have some fun.
Hunting is a trivial matter.
"No, it's not hunting." Du Wei smiled happily: "I came here today to play a new trick with you, a new game I just came up with!"
Duwei took something off the saddle, and Robert saw that it was a small cloth bag.
After untying the cloth bag, what Du Wei held in his hand was a rubber ball!
Well, Du Wei spent a lot of money for this ball.
In order to save money, Du Wei didn't have any extra money to buy cowhide, so he simply went back to the room, picked out a leather coat of his own, and asked the old housekeeper to find a maid who knew how to do needlework. Du Wei simply said his
Require……
Just sewing it into a ball shape was not a difficult task. The maid completed it in just a few clicks and the sewing was very strong.
As for the filling in the ball...
There is no rubber in this world, so we can't make a real inflated ball. In order to maintain elasticity, we can only make some soft fillings, preferably some hair...for example, a horse tail!
In this way, Huanxin contributed a leather coat, plus the tail of his horse. A leather ball was ready.
When he was working on this thing, several servants nearby looked at Du Wei with "wasteful" eyes, but Du Wei himself didn't care.
Get some pocket money, but it's up to you.
"Robert, look, this is my new game... I call it... football."
•;
"There are eleven players on each side, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Except for the goalkeeper who can use his hands, any other player is not allowed to touch the ball with any part of his arm, otherwise it is a foul! The purpose of this game is to pass one's own side
With the cooperation of the players, try to kick the ball into the opponent's goal! At the same time, let go of the opponent strictly to prevent the opponent from kicking into your own goal..."
Du Wei briefly explained the basic rules of football. These rules were not complicated, and more than a hundred soldiers quickly understood them.
Just use your feet to kick the ball!
On the training ground used for military training, two saddles were used on both sides to mark a goal frame.
Du Wei personally went on the field and selected Robert Knight and several cavalrymen who had been with him to form a team. He also asked a group of officers to form another team and started playing.
Naturally, there were a lot of jokes at the beginning. The officers of the Luo Lin family who had never played football often committed fouls habitually. Some people tried to pass the ball farther when passing the ball, but in the end, the knights with fighting spirit were lucky enough to kill him with one kick.
The ball exploded.
Fortunately, Du Wei had already made preparations, and the maid he brought with him who knew needlework immediately sewed it on the spot...and the unlucky knight donated the tail of his war horse.
Also, when a knight rushes forward with the ball, the opponent will often make some illegal actions in order to stop him... This is an eye-opener for Du Wei!
Often when one person dribbles the ball just past half-court, the opponent comes up and kicks it, not to the ball, but to the person! Then the two of them almost give up the ball, and they start to go back and forth.
All martial arts! The fighting spirit shines here, the body skills are sharp over there, the fight is a joy!
It has to be said that these officers of the Luo Lin family are quite skilled in martial arts, have extraordinary reach, and have excellent physical fitness. On the contrary, after Du Wei ran for a few laps, his physical strength was not enough, so he simply replaced him.
He himself became the referee.
After the merciless red cards were sent off to a few guys whose kicks turned into a jousting match, the rest finally started to play well.
Du Wei also demonstrated several movements of dribbling and bumping the ball, and tried a long-range free kick. In one afternoon, these soldiers finally basically mastered the rules of football.
Even the rules of "offside", "penalty kick for fouls in the penalty area", "direct free kick" and "indirect free kick" are all played in a decent way.
In the evening, the smartest guy has actually learned to dive in the penalty area!
Although this guy's performance was very poor, Duwei had to give him a penalty kick with full respect. Because his favorite star in his previous life was Inzaghi, known as the "King of Diving".
This penalty kick also won the indignation of the soldiers who were watching and shouted "black whistle".
One afternoon, all the officers and soldiers in the military camp fell in love with this man's sport!
The "world's number one sport" in the previous life is indeed not a failure!
In the evening, Du Wei had already discovered that several senior officers had reluctantly found their own leather jackets and gave them to the maids to cut into leather balls. At the same time... they also contributed a few pony tails.
It was almost when the sun went down that the group reluctantly left the training ground. The soldiers who won the ball left cheering as if they had won a battle, while the losing side gritted their teeth and agreed to play again tomorrow.
war.
Du Wei is very satisfied with all this!
•;
At night, Du Wei came to the small building that belonged to him. Solskjaer had already gone back to rest. At night, this building belonged to Du Wei alone.
Several guards were asked to guard the outside and no one was allowed in.
Du Wei went up to the third floor with peace of mind, stood on the terrace, and looked up at the sky.
"What on earth are you doing during the day?" Semel behind him was sitting on the railing, with his white legs raised high, making Du Wei dazzled.
After trying hard to turn his head, Du Wei sighed: "Make money."
"Making money?" Semmel laughed. She had been with Du Wei all day long, but only Du Wei could see her. Semmel laughed for a while, clearly not believing it: "You lost money.
A leather coat, and my own pony tail was cut off. At the end of the day, I was sweating all over, soiled two clothes, and only got dust all over my body... Is this called making money?"
Du Wei simply rolled his eyes: "What do you know? Just wait and see."
It was already midnight, there was no cloud in the sky, and the stars were bright. Du Wei looked at the time and said, "Can we start now?"
"The practice of star magic is actually not difficult... but the most difficult thing is getting started." When it came to star magic, Semmel's attitude became much more serious. It was at this moment that the expression on her face seemed to remind Du Wei of
That great female astrologer.
Duwei followed Semel's instructions and sat down.
"Feel with your heart."
"How do you feel?" Du Wei stared.
"Stars!" Saimel said slowly: "Feel the power of the stars." After a pause, she explained: "Of course, at the beginning, you can't feel the entire starry sky. I ask you to choose one of them.
, then after you sit down, you have to use all your magical powers to feel...feel everything the star gives you in response...This is very difficult, and you can't feel it in one night."
Later, Semmel taught Du Wei a spell. She asked Du Wei to recite this spell silently in his mind and then choose a star as his target.
"Which one should I choose?"
"The biggest and brightest one." Semmel replied.
Du Wei was stunned: "The biggest and brightest? God, there are so many stars in the sky, which one is the biggest and brightest?"
Semmel smiled very mysteriously at this moment. She gently raised her hand and pointed at the sky... Under the moonlight, Semmel's smile was charming, with a hint of mystery, and her eyes were calm and unfathomable!
What she was referring to was... the moon!
Du Wei felt awe-inspiring!
The moon! It’s the moon!
He looked at Semel in front of him in surprise...the great female astrologer...did she even know this? According to Du Wei's previous life, the sun is a star and the moon is a satellite of the earth. They are
It is the largest in the sky because of its size and distance from the earth!
In fact, in this world, even magicians divide the sun, moon, and stars into three different categories!
But no one knows...the sun and the moon are actually a type of stars!
"Feel with your heart, feel any fluctuations! Even if it is just a slight shock to the soul. This process will be very long, maybe a day, maybe even a year... If you can take this step, you will have the opportunity to learn star magic... Otherwise
...I can only say that you don’t have the talent anymore.”
After Saimel finished speaking, he yawned and sat lazily aside, looking at Du Wei who was meditating with his eyes closed and facing the sky...
At the beginning, Du Wei tried to use traditional magic methods to sense...
With an "antenna" on his head, Du Wei's sensitivity is very strong. He can even feel the airflow and wind fluctuations in the sky. He can feel the river flowing several miles away... He can even
You can hear the sound of running water...
But, the stars, the moon...
The distance is too far!
Too far, too far!
Du Wei tried his best to spread out his mental power, but the tentacles of his mental power became weaker the further toward the sky... Even if Du Wei tried his best, he could feel the sound of wind in the sky... This was already the limit!
moon?
Du Wei is a reincarnated person, so of course he knows how far away the moon is from the ground where he is! With such a distance, Du Weike doesn't think that his mental power can travel through that astronomical distance!
Obviously, Du Wei failed on the first night.
"I can't give you specific guidance, because you have to understand these things by yourself." Saimel sighed: "If you understand these things, you understand them. If you don't understand, I can't tell you.
clear."
Fortunately, Du Wei did not feel any frustration. Anyway, Semel also said that things would not be that simple. And Du Wei...he has a lot of time! He has nothing else now, but he has a lot of free time.
of.
In the morning, although he didn't sleep all night, Du Wei's mental power became stronger and stronger after meditating all night. He was full of energy and did not look sleepy at all.
Du Wei vaguely felt that the spell that Semel told him seemed to have a huge effect on the growth of mental power! It was far more effective than ordinary magic meditation!
This increase does not refer to an increase in the total amount of mental power...but...it feels like my mental power has undergone some kind of refinement and has become more pure...
•;
In the morning, Du Wei came to the military camp again. Today Du Wei summoned more troops... Almost all the soldiers who were not on patrol came to the drill ground.
During half a day yesterday, all the soldiers who participated in the football game fell in love with this sport.
Today, Du Wei proposed a new way to play.
"I'll give you a hundred gold coins." Du Wei said with a smile: "You can form any team and sign up to participate! You will be divided into groups according to the drawing method... The losers will be eliminated, and the winners will continue to compete with other teams! In the end
The winning team will receive a bonus of one hundred gold coins."
Although Robert feels that this kind of football game is a bit unprofessional... But this kind of game is not harmful to the soldiers. At least running around can improve their physical strength. Moreover, after just experiencing the spring drill, the current soldiers
They are also in the training period, and the training is not so strict.
In addition, this young master is so interested, it is difficult to refute his face...
Of course, the deeper reason is that Robert Knight himself also likes this game.
The officers did not object to the suggestion put forward by the most distinguished young master. Of course, the soldiers would not object.
What's more... there are bonuses to be won!
In order to ensure that this "cup match" continues and maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, Du Wei deliberately shortened the duration of a game.
The regular game in the previous life lasted ninety minutes, but the time Du Wei set here was only half.
Soon, several logistics clerks in the military camp were responsible for registration, and the eager soldiers signed up according to their personal relationships, and some even formed a team from their own squad to sign up for the competition.
The chaotic scene lasted all morning, and finally a total of forty teams were registered!
Calculated based on a team with fifteen players (customized by Du Wei, eleven players on the roster and four substitutes).
The number of participants reached 600! In other words, more than half of the 1,000 soldiers in the entire military camp participated.
Fortunately, the playground is big enough, and... here, there are large woods and lawns outside, so there is no need to worry about the venue.
Du Wei personally drew lots to divide the groups, and thus, the Luo Lin family's first football cup began...
Because it is based on a draw and knockout system, after the first round, only half of the forty teams are left.
Due to the venue, it was impossible for the twenty games in the first round to be played at the same time. So by the afternoon, the top twenty games were born!
At this time, Du Wei, who had watched most of the games, had obtained enough information by relying on his magician's super mental power and memory!
Which teams have better physical strength, whose players are better at diving, which teams have more talented players, which teams have weaker strength...
Du Wei remembered these details firmly.
Then, before the next round of competition started, Du Wei smiled and made a suggestion:
"It's boring to just watch other people play... let's bet on something!" -
