Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 160 Celebration Banquet (1)

House of the Imperial Finance Minister Luke

The bright full moon watched the earth quietly in the sky, and the cold wind whistled in the night sky, faintly bringing the sound of the harp.

In the dining room, Luke, Orlando, Lane, Farath, Alina, Reid, Elendo, Oz and others sat around the table, listening intently to Sophie's performance.

Sophie's slender and white fingers gracefully plucked the strings of the harp, and the clear tone intertwined with beautiful music, echoing in the air.Even in restaurants that are not very suitable for performance, even people like Ryan and Allendo who don't understand music at all can appreciate the subtlety of the music.

At the end of the song, the restaurant was quiet. Everyone was reminiscing the wonderful feeling just now, as if the wind was breathing and whispering in his ears.

After a long time, everyone unanimously took a long sigh of relief, and Alina even said with a little regret: "Such a good piece of music, what if I can't hear it in the future?"

Alina's innocence made everyone laugh, and Falash said: "Little fool, if you like, you can let my sister play it for you in the future."

Alina clapped her hands and said, "Really?"

Sophie smiled sweetly and said, "Aren't you my sister? How could my sister lie to you?"

Alina said excitedly: "Awesome!"

Luke smiled slightly, he held up the wine glass and said loudly, "Come on, let's toast to this wonderful music!"

Everyone happily raised the wine glasses in front of them and drank together.

After Luke had everyone drunk the wine, he put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Ryan with a smile: "Ryan, the Rhyth team has successfully entered the top eight. Do you have any plans?"

Ryan thought about it slightly and said, "Let’s tell everyone, my teacher gave me the trial of the coming-of-age ceremony. It’s just'participate in this year's Royal Tournament and achieve a better result.' If I follow this standard, I want to enter The top eight should be considered to have achieved my goal, right?"

Luke nodded and said, "Yes. But Ryan, you guys were able to enter the top eight, and it was also the result of the whole team's hard work. Now the call for the Rise team to win is getting higher and higher. It is said that the odds are already It's 100:50, don't you have the idea of ​​winning the first place?"

Ryan looked at Luke carefully, and then turned to look at everyone. He found that everyone in the room had stopped his actions and was seriously waiting for his answer.Ryan considered the words and said to Luke: "I don't care if I can get the first place. I fully understand the teacher's requirements of me. I come to participate in this kind of competition, and it is more to improve my experience and strength. It’s not a fake name. Of course, we can go to the present, that is the efforts of all the members of the Lace team, I will naturally not give up easily. To be honest, although we have entered the top eight, I am not happy. Because our opponent didn't let us use our best, I would rather go all out and still lose the game; I don't want to easily win the championship."

Orlando smiled and said to Ryan, "Ryan, it's good for you to have this kind of thought. I was worried at first that you would be proud of the success of these three games. Now I am completely relieved."

Ryan nodded at Orlando, thanking him.

Orlando shook his head and continued: "But don't worry, you will achieve your wish. You must know that in the past ten years, I personally selected every Royal Cavaliers team that participated in the competition. Naturally, I know the best of their strength. I believe that as long as you keep going, you will definitely meet them."

Falash took her sister Sophie's hand with a trace of begging on her face, and said to Orlando, "Brother-in-law, can you tell me a little bit of news?"

Orlando was holding the crystal wine glass in one hand, tapping the table lightly with one hand, with a smile on his face, and said to Farath: "Do you really want to know?"

"Don't say it!" Ryan's voice sounded: "Orlando brother, you must not disclose any news."

Faras gave Ryan a white look, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Idiot, I'm all for your good."

Reid clamped the crystal wine glass with two fingers and shook it gently. He said to Farath: "Oh, it turns out that Ryan is an idiot, so why would anyone look at him?"

Faras turned her head and stared at Reid fiercely. Unexpectedly, Reid didn't care at all. Anyway, Faras' father and others were there, and Reid was not afraid that Faras would go wild on the spot.

Sure enough, Faras just glared a few times, and did not move. Suddenly, feeling a little depressed in her heart, she picked up the glass and drank it.

Ryan's expression was naturally looked into by Ryan, Ryan comforted Falasi and said, "Fani, I know you are for my good, and you naturally hope that we can keep winning. But does it make sense to use this method?"

Farasi gave Ryan a blank look and did not speak.In fact, Faras himself knows that this method is not very good, but cares are confused. You must know that the Royal Cavaliers team has won the championship for 20 consecutive years, and the Lace team has only been established for half a year after all, like Ryan and Allendo The main players have joined the team for only a few months, and the strength of the team members is too large. They usually fight against some teams that are not very strong. They naturally play very well. I am afraid that they will be caught by the opponent immediately if they meet the Royal Knights team. Own flaws.

Ryan said sincerely to Faras: "We don't know the true strength of the Golden Knights team, but they don't fully know our true strength. This is fair to both of us. Don't you want to have a close match." Is it a game?"

Farasi waved her hand gently to stop Ryan from continuing.

Faras stared at Ryan with gentle eyes.She said softly: "Needless to say, I understand your intentions. I also know what I did just now is wrong. I promise you that you will no longer win the victory through shameless means, but will work with everyone Go, even if you lose the game."

Ryan smiled and said, "As long as everyone goes all out, how can we lose? Don't you have so much confidence in us?"

Farasi suddenly said seriously: "Ryan, can you promise me one thing?"

Ryan smiled and said, "Of course. You can."

Faras turned her head to look at everyone, and then said: "I know this proposal of mine may not be fair to some people, but I have to make it. There are six members in our team, but the competition can only There are five players on the field because we will have one substitute for each game. But I hope that in the next three games, this rule will not be enforced, and the five most suitable players in the team will be selected!"

As soon as Farasi’s voice fell, Alina immediately continued: “Although I’m a bit unwilling, but I have to admit that my strength is the worst in our Leis team, who is still young? Brother Ryan, you Just agree, so that we can fight our opponents with the strongest strength."

Ryan hesitated and said, "This..."

Reid curled his lips and said, "What are you hesitating about? Don't you want to win?"

Ryan said: "Although I am the captain, since this rule has been formulated, I don't have the right to change it at will..."

Orlando suddenly said: "Ryan, I am not a member of the Lace team, I shouldn't have interrupted. But I want to remind you that if you insist on letting Alina play when playing against the Royal Cavaliers team, then you have no chance to win. With the strength of Christina and the others, it may take Alina out of the game in just 10 seconds. At that time, you will be playing four against five. It is almost impossible to win."
