Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard Chapter 174: Drawing Ceremony (1)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!

This entire day’s trip to the imperial capital ended perfectly under the guidance of Bud’s guide. The reason why it was almost perfect was mainly because Vivian was very unhappy in her heart, because she really couldn’t figure out Ryan. Why do you want to accept a waste material that is not good at all, and the impression that Bud left on Vivienne before is really bad, and what Vivienne hates most in life is the self-righteous messenger of justice. .com

Waiting late, when Vivienne was alone with him in Ryan’s room, Ryan slowly expressed his thoughts, and Bud’s words of "dreams and reality" really touched Ryan. , Since only one sentence can give others a chance to realize their dreams, then Ryan will not be stingy.

If Bud performs well, then Ryan has picked up a talent for nothing, but in case Bud is useless, Ryan treats Bud the same way, because this is equivalent to giving other people a signal: Ryan Cassano can reuse waste materials like Germany. If you think you are better than Bud, then hurry up.

Vivian suddenly laughed after listening to Ryan's explanation. That Bud thought Ryan gave him a chance to realize his dream, but did Ryan not take advantage of Bud's intentions? In this way, Cassano is not at a disadvantage, and Bard's own strength is irrelevant.

The relieved Vivian returned to her room and had a good night's sleep. By the next day, everyone got up early, because today will be the lottery ceremony for the entire competition. According to the information sent by his staff, the number of people who signed up for the Royal Athletic Competition actually exceeded 7,000. This number has not been reached for nearly 150 years, except for the early days of the establishment of the imperial capital.

Everyone in the imperial capital regards this competitive competition as the beginning of the restoration of the honor of the entire empire, and the reason why the imperial capital wants to re-organize this convention also has this meaning in itself. After the orcs attacked the imperial capital, the vitality of the imperial capital was greatly injured, and the entire empire was naturally greatly unstable. The most annoying thing was that Senat announced his departure from the empire.

Now the imperial capital is slowly regaining its vitality, the training of 500,000 recruits has been completed, and the entire city has been completely renewed. Naturally, the imperial capital's dominance over the entire empire must be restored, so there is also this time the Royal Tournament. Among the 7,000 applicants, although only 300 people came from the imperial capital area, everyone was selected from the army, and they were all recognized strong men in the army.

Because this time the conference was changed back to the original competition mode, Archon Falas also ordered the abolition of the ban on repeated competitions after participating in a competition, allowing everyone to register for the competition, as long as he is a citizen of the empire . Of course, it is obvious that Falas did this. After all, the Emperor tried his best to hold a conference, but let outsiders control the forefront of the entire game. Not only did the Emperor fail to achieve the predetermined effect, but would be greatly embarrassed in front of everyone. .

According to previous game experience, only brave and strong warriors and pious and respectful knights have won the most championship titles, so Farasi will select the best talents from the Imperial Capital Army and the Royal Knights to participate, if not Because Orlando and Victor were so prominent, Faras had the idea of ​​letting them take action.

The whole lottery ceremony was not held in the arena, because there were too many people participating, so Ryan and the others hurried to the lottery location-the central square of the Imperial City after breakfast. Today, Her Majesty Queen Catherine and Grand Archon Falas will participate in the whole lottery ceremony at the Royal Observatory. The reconstructed central square of the Imperial Capital is also named Catherine Square to commemorate the thrilling battle three years ago.

Lane’s position to watch the lottery today is quite good. Of course, this was not occupied by Ryan’s subordinates early, but was specially arranged by the imperial capital. After all, the invitation letter from Farath clearly stated that this time the competition As long as the citizens of the empire can participate in the contest, and the overlord of Cassano personally led the team to the imperial capital, and also signed up for the competition, didn't it show his greatest sincerity to the imperial capital? Then how could the imperial capital not treat me well.

Before setting off, Ryan knew that he couldn't avoid the endless political entertainment. Sure enough, after their party came to Catherine Square, the officials in charge of reception in the imperial capital rushed in. Of course, Ryan's identity is not needed. Be polite with them, that is, Adams came forward, and a few words dismissed them.

Ryan sat on the side of the viewing platform, an area specially arranged by the Imperial Capital for the Cassano Plain. Those who can have this privilege at the Royal Observatory are only a few places in Mochizuki City and Freedom Paradise. Like Mochizuki City, that is, Mayne, who had fought with Ryan, led the team, and as a senior magician, he didn't sign up at all. As for the declaration of a neutral free paradise, it was simply that the Merchants Federation issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild, and then the mercenaries who took over the mission came together. The chubby guy who led the team is said to be a certain member of the Merchants Guild. A steward of the owner of the business group is of the kind who basically doesn't talk, and it doesn't count if he says it.

Calculating, the highest status of the guests who can sit at the viewing platform this time is Ryan. Although the overlord of Cassano, who is alias Fabia, occupies a small territory and does not count as a ruling population. There are many, but they occupy a very important position. From the map, if the Seck city of Senate is the main traffic link between the north and the south on the east of the mainland, then the Cassano Plain on the west of the mainland is also the main traffic link between the north and the south. road.

Especially after the orcs occupied the Sunrise City, it was difficult for the imperial capital to communicate with the southern sea breeze city. After losing the sea traffic, Senat firmly controlled the traffic on the eastern part of the mainland. The emperor wanted to restore it again. The rule of the southern lord can only be through Cassano.

If the emperor now has the enclave of Cassano, the royal knights of the imperial capital can come to the city of Mochizuki or Freedom Paradise within 2 days, creating maximum pressure on the southern lords, and losing this place. , Then the imperial capital's control over the south of the mainland completely disappeared.

So it is not surprising that Ryan and his party received preferential treatment in the imperial capital. If the imperial capital had not been divided into three factions, Catherine, Farath, and Orlando, I am afraid that there would have been enough officials to find the door. And Ryan declined the banquets of the three political factions that night, which also caused the three parties to misunderstand his intentions, thinking Ryan was waiting for the price.

So Orlando didn’t come into contact with Ryan again to avoid suspicion. As a soldier, he would not get involved in political struggles. Ryan was invited to the dinner party only because of curiosity. After all, a magician unified Cassano. , This was considered a glorious deed. Although Orlando, as a soldier, had learned all about it through scouts, after all, the retelling by the parties was more real.

Faras naturally had to worry about Catherine's methods. At the same time, in order to succeed in World War I, she and her subordinates urgently negotiated to come up with a condition sufficient to attract Ryan. As for Catherine, she didn't plan to win over Ryan at all. Cassano's independence or falling to the south would make the imperial capital even worse, and it was more in line with Catherine's plan.

Ryan could not have imagined that various things had happened in the imperial capital because of his arrival. As for the murder in the street on the first day, it had been suppressed by the power of Falash. If Ryan killed innocent civilians, Falas would never sit idly by, but Ryan killed a group of guys who did all the bad things at ordinary times and are still provocative, so Falasi chose to ignore it.

Now Ryan is sitting in his seat, looking boringly at the crowds below. This is not the first time he has seen this kind of scene. When he attacked the Beast King with all his strength, Ryan also witnessed a similar scene. , It's just that the people in the audience are fighting in blood, and the ground is full of corpses. If he had a choice, Ryan hoped that he would never see that scene again for the rest of his life.

But for Vivienne, it was the first time she saw such a spectacular sight. Naturally, she was amazed from time to time. At least 600,000 people came to Catherine Square today, and this number has surpassed the entire Casa The sum of Nuo Zimin. Even the well-informed Adams kept sighing. After coming to the imperial capital, he also experienced the insignificance of Cassano firsthand, and his heart was full of feelings.

Only Vivienne and Adams can sit in the first row with Ryan. Entourages like Barbara, Sophie, and Bud can only stand behind them. Even Julia, who is depressed all day The magnificent scene in front of me attracted, not to mention the entourage who had never left Cassano.

The lottery ceremony finally began. Archbishop Reid, accompanied by eight senior magicians, came to a large wooden barrel full of folded pieces of paper. Here, a total of 7672 participants’ names were put in. , And Reid had to draw out these little notes with names one by one in order to determine the venue and opponent for their game.

Because of the large number of participants, the Imperial Capital adopted the method of dividing the competition venues. A total of 16 competition venues were arranged at different locations in the Imperial Capital for the participants to participate in the elimination competition. Every 12 people are a group, and each match is one-on-one. If you defeat your opponent, you can advance, and the final winner of the group can advance to the next round.

In this way, there are about 60 people who will advance to the next round, that is, about 60 people in the finals, and they will re-draw lots to compete for the final championship. Of course, in accordance with the usual rules of the Imperial Capital, anyone who can enter the second round can be reused by the Imperial Capital or receive a generous bonus.

The whole lottery process is boring, and it is worth looking forward to. Many people burst into tears after they got a good lottery, but some people yelled after being divided into a group with a strong enemy. As for Ryan, he has been with him all the time. Vivian joked, and occasionally listened to the entourage behind him talking about some fairly good players, and even randomly commented on the names of those people, as if he didn't care about the lottery.

In fact, Ryan now prefers to see Faras after three years of separation, but he was afraid that he could not help but recognize Faras on the spot, so he controlled his hope with great willpower. During the three-and-a-half hours of the whole lottery ceremony, he didn't even look at Farasi at the top of the viewing platform.
