The bright moonlight looked down on the earth from the icy night sky, and a breeze blew over, rolling up the sparse dead leaves on the ground, as if it had been reminding people that the cold winter had 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 when the Leis team competes with the Royal Knights team. In these few days, the Royal Tournament is running normally. The Leis team defeated the Thunder repair team, and the Royal Knights team easily defeated the Northland Herders team. The shameful members of the Northland herders team left the imperial capital overnight, which has become a conversational resource for many people in their leisure time.

It’s not surprising that the Silent Hunters from the south can defeat their opponents. After all, the Ophalia mercenary team made it into the top eight by luck. Now they have lost the game, just It shows that the goddess of luck is not putting her eyes on them.

Many people were surprised that the Goddess Team was able to defeat the Gulf Gentlemen. However, the two sides were both lost and injured. The Gulf Gentlemen team lost, but the three members of the Goddess Team also ended due to injuries. Participate in the next game.

Of course, these are not in the scope of the nobles' concern. The most talked about in the Imperial City is the captain of the Goddess Team, the glamorous girl Catherine Randy. During the game against the Gulf Gentlemen, her veil was picked off by her opponents. His peerless appearance shocked the opponent, and this allowed her companion, the magician named Karl Sit, to sneak attack.

From the moment the Goddess Squad stumbled into the top four, almost everyone had a conclusion in their hearts for the next three games. It is basically impossible for the Goddess Squad to defeat the Silent Hunters unless there is a light god. Asylum, but obviously this is impossible.

But there is not much suspense between Reth and the Royal Knights. How could the Royal Knights who have dominated the Royal Tournament for 20 years lose to an adventurous team of uneven strength that has only been formed for half a year?

Although this adventurer squad called "Lace" defeated the magical genius Bere Reeves, the strength of the Royal Knights is not what they can contend. The "Northland Herders" squad composed of brave and capable Clay fighters It was just a few minutes of support under the sword of the Royal Knights, not to mention that this adventurer squad called "Race" was only formed for half a year. In the previous game, it was completely dependent on a few teammates in the team. Personal strength only achieved the current record.

Ryan sighed softly.Indeed, the Reth team still needs time. If the Reth team is given another half a year, Ryan has a lot of confidence to compete with the Royal Knights, and now, he can only do his best, but this is not a bad thing. Without such experience, how can you improve your own strength?

"Ryan, haven't you rested yet?" Allendor's voice appeared in Ryan's ear.

Ryan put away his thoughts, lowered his head and looked at Ellendor who was oncoming, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm thinking about things."

Allen raised his hand, threw a large mass of things in his hand to Ryan, and said, "Next."

Ryan grabbed what Ellendor had thrown away, and looked at the moonlight, it turned out to be a roast beef leg.Ryan smiled and said, "It seems that we haven't been sitting together eating meat and chatting in a long time?"

"Yeah." Allendo agreed to Ryan, walked to Ryan's side and sat down slowly.

"Here." Allendo took a big bag from his waist and handed it to Ryan, "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, Allen."

Ryan took a sip of water on his back, then wiped the water from his mouth with his sleeve, and said happily, "It's better to drink water. Since I came to the imperial capital, Fanny always wants me to learn to drink, alas!"

Elendo placed the roasted beef leg with a knife in his other hand, bit a large piece of meat, chewed slowly in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Ryan, what are your plans? ?"

Ryan was taken aback, he turned his head to look at Ellendor and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Allendor slowly chewed the beef and swallowed it, and then said to Ryan: "I am not a game that points to the sky. In fact, this kind of game does not fully reflect the strength of the teams."

"Yes." Ryan replied while eating beef.

Allendo continued: "It's been a long time since I came to the emperor, don't you miss nature?"

Ryan said with emotion: "To be honest, when I first came to the imperial capital, my heart was full of excitement. This is the largest city on the mainland. I only knew a little bit from the narratives of others. The person I described was the furthest away from Alfa City, and everything he told was listening to other people's accounts."

"But after staying for so long, I feel a little at a loss. Maybe I don't like this kind of life in my heart? Although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, I don't have to think about spending gold coins, but I still miss the person I just met you During that time, adventure together, struggle together, and grow together."

"Yes!" Allen nodded and said: "The days are too easy now, and it makes people lazily not want to move. I remember you used to get up earlier than me every morning, and then practice together until Everyone was sweating profusely, and then they were so tired that they didn't want to get up."

"Yes," Ryan said, "I think about it now, it is the life of the imperial capital that fetters us, and the ease of life makes us degenerate. Teacher Jialibo's words at the time were really correct. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what he meant. , But now I understand."

"Oh?"

"Ellendo, do you know? When Teacher Caleb was teaching me martial arts, he once said to me,'When you climbed to the top of the mountain, you discovered that there is a higher mountain ahead, and this is invisible at the foot of the mountain. .'This sentence, I finally understand now."

Allen nodded more.

"I promise you, Ellendor" Ryan raised his head and drank a sip of water, and then said, "Everything must have a beginning and an end. When the Royal Tournament is over, no matter what the result is, we will leave the capital together and return to the original place. This is the life of an adventurer. The Royal Tournament is a mountain, but it is not the end of our journey!"

Speaking of this, Ryan stretched out his right fist and gently touched Allendor's right fist, then Ryan flipped his wrist and held Allendor's right hand tightly.

The two of them uttered a passionate sentence: "Good brother!"
