They don't want me to work harder

Lauren gestured to Catherine next to her and said, "She will participate in the Easter competition next month. In the Empire, the final result of this competition will greatly affect her future. However, the problem is that she still lacks a teammate of sufficient strength."

"teammate?"

Richard, who had been studying quietly and not paying much attention to the Easter competition, was a little confused.

Catherine continued: "The competition is a combination of many different forms of competition, including potion blending and alchemy competitions. It is not just a one-on-one duel... and the most important of all competitions is the team of three. Units, a tactical competition competing for the scepter in a special venue.”

"My own profession is a hospital knight, and my other companion, Sophia, is an ice mage. Currently, I want to find another all-round magic professional..."

After saying this, Richard understood instantly.

Summoners, as long as they let go of contracting summoned objects, they will be very versatile.

He couldn't help laughing at himself.

Before, I lamented that Anton came to compete for the legacy of his ancestors, but he never thought that this fate would befall him today.

However, compared to exchanging other benefits, this matter is more temperamental.

He also remembered what Teacher Megan said in prison: "You can't defeat them in their position..."

Ah.

Since fate has taken the initiative to find me...then I have to give it a try!

"I'm willing to compete."

Chapter 87 As long as you have a broad mind, you can drift around anything.

An hour later, the party ended.

Not long after Richard went out, he was pulled into a carriage on the side of the road.

He was a little panicked at first, but after smelling the familiar aroma, he immediately... became even more panicked.

He quickly said: "Louvia, I'm fine."

Opposite the seat, Luvia nodded, looking quite calm, and asked:

"What conditions did Lauren offer?"

"Better than expected..."

Richard is about to tell the truth about participating in the Easter contest.

Luvia was slightly surprised and asked, "Did he require you to win?"

"That's not true. The original words are that as long as I try my best, no matter success or failure, he will help me rescue Teacher Megan."

Richard shrugged and smiled: "Maybe, it's for your sake that I'm so generous."

However, Luvia was not happy about Richard's praise. She recalled the people from the Tory family who might participate in the Easter competition this year, and her heroic eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

"...Your teammate is Catherine?"

"Well, there is also Sophia from the North. Do you know them?"

"I've seen it, but I'm not familiar with it."

Luvia's tone became noticeably lower.

Richard had to go to a competition with two women... It reminded her of the experience of watching Alice snatch someone away in the simulation, and she felt sour in her heart for no reason, and she became vigilant.

Huh, calm down.

Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

Catherine, a woman who is mediocre and arrogant, is unlikely to attract Richard. As for the one named Sophia, remember she was just a woman whose parents failed in the struggle and came to the empire to seek refuge?That's not even a threat.

Well, that’s right, as long as that woman Alice doesn’t come back, victory will be yours!

Seeing the beauty's eyes changing again and again, Richard's mouth twitched slightly.

Sister, what are you thinking about?

No, we have to change the topic!

"Luvia?"

"Sorry, I was distracted...what did you just say?"

"I just want to ask, have you participated in the Easter competition?" Richard said: "I remember that the conditions for participation are as long as you are under 25 years old."

"Yes."

Luvia slightly puffed up her chest, which is good at gathering people's hearts, and replied: "That time three years ago, I was the champion."

Okay, concise and very powerful.

"Then tell me what preparations I need to make?"

Richard scratched his head and smiled: "I haven't paid much attention to this competition before. Some of the procedures are unclear, and I was embarrassed to ask in front of Lauren."

Luvia nodded: "Other things are fine. As for the latest...the qualifiers are coming next week. You can't miss this."

"Qualifiers?"

"The Easter competition is very grand. It's impossible for anyone to come if they want. Therefore, there will be qualifiers to screen out those who are too weak."

"is it hard?"

"It's a little bit for ordinary people, but it's not a problem for you, but..."

Luvia suddenly came closer: "Just in case, let's practice more these days!"

Seeing the other person's eyes wanting to be together 24 hours a day, Richard couldn't help but shudder.

I always feel like I can't help it...

But what reason is there to refuse?

Forget it... let Dahei help take on half of it when the time comes!

The seven days filled with sweat, passion, bruises, a big head and the coach's sister "mobbed oil" passed quickly.

Next Monday morning.

Richard came to the large square on the central axis of Idaril, preparing to participate in the qualifiers for the Easter Games.

Zoe and Katyusha also followed - as for Luvia, due to a very urgent mission from the border army, even if she had the privilege, she could only interrupt her vacation unwillingly and leave temporarily.

"A lot of people!"

As soon as they arrived at the square, Zoe looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "There are three or four thousand at least."

"For ordinary people, even the qualifiers are a great deal of excitement."

Li checked and saw that the audience was isolated from the outside of the square by the guards. Only those professionals with weapons entered the center and gathered near a light door that was obviously the entrance to the illusion world.

Well, most professionals... only have bronze.

There is also a lot of black iron.

Richard felt a lot more relaxed instantly. After all, the strength of these competitors could not reach the average level of Saint Goethe.

Zoe clapped her hands: "Richard, you must be fine!"

Katyusha also clenched her fists and said, "Your Highness, come on!"

"okay!"

With the smiles of the girls on his back, he walked into the center of the square. After going through a series of identity checks and handing in illegal items, he stood in front of the gate of the fantasy world.

At this time, a steward came to the crowd and said loudly:

"Welcome everyone to participate in the preliminaries of the competition. The rules of this competition are very simple. If you can persist in this illusion for five hours within three days, you will pass..."

The rest of the words were nothing more than emphasizing that you shouldn't cheat, that there were protection measures in the fantasy world and you didn't have to worry about your life, etc. Richard didn't pay attention to it anymore.

He was just surprised by the free format of the qualifiers.

And soon, a bell rang, and after Richard and a large group of people stepped into the fantasy world together, they immediately understood why the competition system was like this...

"Ouch!"

"We were transported to the sky!"

As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, Richard found himself floating in the air, with sparse white clouds above his head, and the sea more than a few thousand meters below his feet. The water was pitch black, and there were not even half an island nearby.

And around the crowd, there are countless bubbles floating, the diameter of the small one is tens of centimeters, the diameter of the large one is five or six meters, crystal clear, the smooth surface reflects the rainbow color in the sun, it is very beautiful.

Seeing this, Richard subconsciously summoned the wind element to give him a lift, but as soon as the wind element came out, he couldn't stand and fell with him.

Others nearby also shouted: "Flying and floating techniques don't work!"

I see. Is it forbidden to fly here?

Well, it looks like weak water in the Legend of Nezha.

While he was thinking about it, many people had already fallen to the sea. Then their bodies lit up and they were teleported out.

In other words, if you encounter the sea test, you will fail...

Richard was so excited that he immediately adjusted his posture while falling, summoned an earth element out of thin air under his feet, stepped on its back, and jumped onto the huge bubble next to him.

The bubble was slippery, and it took him some effort to stand still, but at least he didn't fall any further.

Looking up again, many professionals around me also made the same choice. Some directly adjusted their direction and smashed into the bubble, some used the hands of the mage to pull people over, and some simply took out their swords, inserted them into the bubble, and fixed themselves. ——Obviously, the bubbles here are not as fragile as they look. It’s no problem to eat at least one or two.

A few minutes later, the first group of people who came in, except for dozens of unlucky guys with poor reflexes and abilities, all found their own bubbles.

Just when the remaining people thought that this test was very simple...

Overhead, countless seagulls swooped down.

"Fries! Fries! Fries!"

I don’t know who designed it. While making incomprehensible cries, these seagulls pointed their sharp beaks at the bubbles at everyone’s feet and flew towards them!

"What the hell!"

"Go away!"

Everyone immediately used their methods, some slashed with swords and others shot with guns, but there were too many seagulls and many people couldn't take care of them at all.

Soon, a black iron-level mage ran out of magic power, and the bubbles were penetrated by more than a dozen seagulls one after another, and finally exploded with a bang. The man lost his fulcrum and fell into the sea with a scream.
