Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 81 81. Nebbiolo Festival (17)

From the second half of the first round of competition, it has been carried out in a dark place.Came to the third round, finally back in the sun again.

The contestants who were stunned by the strong light had a city wall behind them and a city wall a little further in front of them.

As seen from the starting point at the beginning, the circular city wall divides the city of trials into several parts.The central area is the majestic castle, which is the venue for the finals.

It's just that I don't know how many walls I have to go through to get there.

In the third circular area, there are no longer all kinds of buildings, but it is full of plants, herbaceous plants, and the tallest is nothing but reeds.

In front of everyone, a person who was obviously the examiner of this round stood with his hands behind his back.Behind him, twenty fine horses were lined up one by one, and a majestic knight was riding on them, holding his helmet in his hand.

Are you going to fight these knights?
Did the examiner go to the wrong venue?It seems that such a project should be on the side of the martial arts competition.

Thinking of this, I don't know what happened to Hayward.

"I am the third-round examiner, Chandor. Those whose names are called come up to draw lots."

I really want to play... The first player whose name was read showed obvious hesitation, looked around, and then reluctantly stepped forward and pulled out a numbered ball from the box in Mr. Chandor's hand.

While waiting, Emma began to look at the knights, most of them looked serious, except...

Cass? !
Why is it him again!Do ghosts linger?
So good, Emma started praying for her to smoke the goddamn filth, and then she was going to fight him hysterically.

Inadvertently, facing Emma's "hot eyes", Cass, who was already smiling, widened his eyes and became happier.

He opened his mouth and made a mouth shape.

【witch】

Hmph, just laugh, I will let you know how scary witches are later.

"Emma Green."

Emma was so busy staring at Cass that she didn't hear him for a while.

"Emma Green! Asleep!"

Avril Lavigne elbowed Emma to bring her back to life.

Emma trotted forward and drew her number ball from the displeased Mr. Chandor.

"Everyone is optimistic about the number, from left to right, follow the corresponding knight in turn."

Damn it, it happened to be one size short... Emma stood behind the knight she had drawn, glaring fiercely at Cass' back from behind.

"In combat, warlocks should play more of an auxiliary role."

Mr. Chandor spoke.This doesn't sound right, could it be...

"The next thing you have to do is to assist your knights to win the final victory. The competition will be held simultaneously in groups, and someone will take you to the divided venues."

Great, did prayer do the trick?Emma was overjoyed, she really got the chance to confront Cass in an upright manner.

Since it is in the Southern Islands, it should be the Seven Gods who are "in charge" here, it must be the God of War, thank the God of War Potos for his blessing.

"Tsk, why are you fighting me! It's boring."

Cass didn't say this to Emma, ​​but he glanced at her quietly when he said it.

He was speaking to the knight Emma had drawn. He was handsome, with thick curly black hair, delicate black eyes, and... olive skin.

Why does it feel familiar.

"I think it's very interesting, we haven't played against each other for a long time!"

The knight laughed. He had a nice smile, and the smile looked even more familiar.

He turned to Emma and said, "Lovely lady, you have to support me later."

"Okay... did we meet somewhere?"

"I think should not be……"

The knight looked surprised. Isn't this line usually used by men when they strike up a girl?This little girl is so active?

"Ahem! Louis, this is your sister's best friend."

"Ah! You are Angelina's friend! Great, what a special fate!"

Louis Harold, Angelina Harold, is the elder brother of Hayward with whom Emma gets along day and night.Originally, he came to surprise his sister, but because the original "tool man" was injured in an exhibition match, he was temporarily called to make up for the magic match, but he happened to be selected by Emma.

"Ah... Hayward's brother! Please... please take care of me!"

Emma's face became hot, and she saluted at a loss.I am more and more convinced that I have been blessed by the God of War, this is simply a lottery!
When you go back, you must offer tribute to Potos.

……

Considering the intensity of the competition venue, each piece is far apart, let alone interacting with each other, it is difficult to even see the figure of the battle.

There is no limit to the fighting methods among knights, because the battlefield is inherently unpredictable.It is up to them to decide how to compete.

Emma's real opponent was an apprentice from Wowa Daos College. She forgot his name. Although it seemed a bit impolite, it must be emphasized again that the apprentices in that college all looked... about the same!Being able to remember the appearance of the last round champion Konrad Alger is already the limit.

"Don't ride a horse, what do you think?"

"up to you."

Louie was very easygoing and seemed like a nice guy.But as a comrade-in-arms, this may not be an advantage.

"With a real weapon?"

"Of course, I don't like wooden swords either."

With just a few simple sentences, it seemed that the entire content of the competition had been finalized.

"This is... the beginning?"

Emma looked at Louis inquiringly.

"Ah, sorry! Do you have any tactics to deploy?"

Knights are not real players, but just "tools". The competition system allows participating apprentices to discuss the battle plan with them in advance.

"Don't do these things, okay? If you want to fight, just be quicker!"

Cass had already pulled out his giant sword from the storage device on his belt, picked it up and knocked it on his shoulder twice, causing a piece of the armor to be dented.

"Shut up! Dirty thing! I'll kill you later!"

Cass laughed, and Louis raised his eyebrows with interest.

At first, I thought she was a weak future female sorceress, but I didn't expect her acting style to be so hot, she deserved to be my sister's best friend.

"That... I'm not very good at using halo spells."

Emma whispered to Louis.Halo-type spells are spells that are only taught in senior grades. They can be superimposed on fighters to enhance their speed and strength, and can also add more magical effects to attacks.

This type of spell, which requires delicate control of range and direction, may be a little too difficult for a second grader.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll use some myself. Wait a minute...how about you fight that magic apprentice with all your strength? Just make sure that my battle with Cass won't be disturbed by him."

This... seems a bit too incompetent.Emma smiled dryly and reluctantly agreed to the plan.What she thought in her heart was that as long as she aimed at the timing, she must hit Cass hard a few times.

In the opposite group, the apprentices of Vovados Academy were chattering endlessly, as if they had a lot of ideas about tactics, while Cass looked absent-minded, and impolitely picked his ears and eyes halfway.

Emma was worried that before the competition started, the Vervados man would be so angry that he couldn't help casting a few curses on his partner.
