Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

This whole day’s trip to the imperial capital ended almost perfectly under the guidance of Bud’s guide. The reason why it was said to be almost perfect was mainly because Vivian was very unhappy, because she really couldn’t figure out why Ryan wanted to Accepting a waste material that is not good at anything, and the impression that Bud left on Vivienne before is really bad. What Vivienne hates most in life is the self-righteous messenger of justice.

At night, when Vivian was alone with him in Ryan’s room, Ryan slowly expressed his thoughts. Bud’s words of "dreams and reality" really moved Ryan, since only Saying the last sentence can give others a chance to realize their dreams, so Ryan would 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: even Bard. Scrap materials, Cassano can be reused, 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 use Bud's intention?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 for the entire competition.According to the information sent by his staff, the number of people who signed up for the Royal Athletic Competition unexpectedly 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 regarded this competitive competition as the beginning of the restoration of honor for the entire empire, and the reason why the imperial capital wanted to reorganize this convention also had the same meaning.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 competition.Among those 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 convention was changed back to the original competition mode, Archon Falasi also ordered the abolition of the ban on repeated competitions after participating in a competitive 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 organize 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. .

Based on previous experience in competitions, 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 Army and the Royal Knights to participate, if not because of Orlando and Victor's status is so prominent, Faras has 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 place, the central square of the Imperial City after breakfast.Today, Her Majesty Queen Catherine and Grand Archon Falas will participate in the lottery at the Royal Observatory, and the reconstructed central square of the Imperial Capital is also named Catherine Square to commemorate the thrilling battle three years ago.

Ryan’s position to watch the lottery today is quite good. Of course, it wasn’t Ryan’s subordinates who came to occupy it early, but the imperial capital made such an arrangement. After all, Falasi’s invitation letter made it clear that this time as long as the competition is The people of the empire can participate, and the overlord of Cassano personally led the team to the imperial capital and also signed up for the competition. Doesn't it show his greatest sincerity to the imperial capital?Then how could the imperial capital not treat me well.

Before leaving, 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 crowded them. As Ryan, he certainly didn't need to be polite , That is, Adams came forward, and a few words dismissed them.

Ryan sat on the side of the viewing platform, which was an area specially arranged by the Imperial Capital for the Cassano Plain.Only Mochizuki City and Freedom Paradise can have this privilege on the royal viewing platform.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 someone from the Merchants Federation. 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.

After all, the highest status of the guests who can sit on the viewing platform this time is Ryan. Although the overlord of Cassano, who is alias Fabia, occupies a small territory and does not rule a large population. But it occupies a very important position. From the map, if the city of Seck in Senat 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 link between the north and the south. .

Especially after the orcs occupied the Sunrise City, the imperial capital could no longer contact the southern sea breeze city, lost sea traffic, and was firmly controlled by the eastern part of the mainland by Senat. The emperor wanted to restore to the southern lord. The rule can only pass through Cassano.

If the emperor now has the enclave of Cassano, the royal knights of the imperial capital can come to watch Moon City or the city of Liberty Paradise within 2 days, creating maximum pressure on the southern lords, and losing this place, then the imperial capital The control over the south of the mainland completely disappeared.

Therefore, 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 come to the door.Ryan declined the banquets of the three political factions that night, which also caused the three parties to misunderstand his intentions and think Ryan was waiting for the price.

Therefore, Orlando did not contact Ryan again in order to avoid suspicion. As a soldier, he would not get involved in the political struggle. The dinner invited Ryan only because of curiosity. After all, a magician unified Cassano alone. The above is a glorious deed. Although Orlando, as a soldier, learned the whole story through scouts, after all, the retelling of the parties is more true.

Falas naturally had to worry about Catherine's methods, and 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.And Catherine, she didn't plan to win over Ryan at all. Cassano's independence or falling to the south would make the capital city 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 Falash's hand.If Ryan killed innocent civilians, Falas would never sit idly by, but Ryan killed a group of guys who did all the bad things in the ordinary time and are still provoking, so Falas would selectively ignore it.

Now Ryan was sitting in his seat, looking bored at the crowds below. It was not the first time he saw this kind of scene. When he attacked the Beast King with all his strength, Ryan also witnessed a similar scene. But the people in the audience were fighting in blood, and the ground was full of corpses.If he can choose, Ryan hopes that he will 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, and she was naturally amazed from time to time. At least 600,000 people came to Catherine Square today. This number has surpassed the entire population of Cassano. Sum.Even the well-informed Adams kept sighing. After coming to the imperial capital, he also experienced the smallness 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 Bard can only stand behind them. Even Julia, who is depressed all day long, is magnificent. The scene attracts, not to mention the entourage who has never left Cassano.

The lottery ceremony finally began. Accompanied by eight senior magicians, Archbishop Reid came to a big wooden barrel full of folded pieces of paper. Here, a total of 7672 participants’ names were put in. De, on the other hand, draws out the little notes with names one by one in order to determine the venue and opponent for their game.

Due to 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 128 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, which is the final, 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 in 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 they were divided into a group with a strong enemy. As for Ryan, he has been with Vivi beside him. Ann 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 draw.

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