The Warrior of Love

Jiang Liu thought about it and tried to speak in a tactful way.

"Besides, everyone just wants to relax during this period, such as the sports meeting..."

"The venue for this competition is in the desert," Ishtar said suddenly, "and there is a sea next to it."

Jiang Liu blinked: "So what?"

"Because the weather is so hot, I added a bathing beach and suggested that female servants wear swimsuits during the competition."

Ishtar said calmly, "Well, Minamoto no Raikou, Martha, Nitocris, Arthur, Helena... they have already agreed."

"what?"

Jiang Liu scratched his head, thought for a moment, turned around and spoke to Lixiang and others with a serious face.

"In fact, everyone has made great efforts to migrate the population of India's Lostbelt, and has accumulated a lot of fatigue. It would be good to hold a sports event for everyone to have some fun and relax."

Everyone: "..."

Chapter 935: Of course I’d choose Ah Fu!

"Welcome to the first Chaldean Games of the Plenty Cup!

I am the host, Ishtar, the goddess of beauty that everyone admires the most! "

On the high platform in the center of the vast open-air stadium, Ishtar, dressed like a racing girl and looking extremely lively, was explaining to the audience around her with a microphone shaped like a Fu Fu doll.

By the way, the scale of this venue is no less than the venues of the real Olympic Games, and may even be larger, and the surrounding audience seats are also full of people - of course, not ordinary people.

The audience included residents from the two major Lostbelts of India and Northern Europe, heroic soldiers under Iskandar, a mysterious black figure from the Hassan sect, employees of Chaldea, and residents of Uruk.

The latter were followers of Ishtar, who were pulled from Mesopotamia by the capricious goddess to show her support. Even Siduri was present and was asked to hold up a sign in support of the goddess in the audience... Although she was wearing a mask, one could still imagine her extremely complicated expression.

"The heroic spirits who transcend the barriers of time and space, connecting the past and the future, standing tall in the tide of human history, are all gathered here!

This Games brings together heroes and great men from different regions, civilizations, and even eras. It is destined to be a super feast that shocks humanity, and I, Ishtar, am a witness of this feast.

Heroes, brave men! Show your courage in front of the goddess of love and beauty, and take the unparalleled crown of the past and present! "

Ishtar pointed to the sky with one hand, and countless roses fell immediately. The bright red petals danced in the wind, making her figure look particularly beautiful. The atmosphere in the venue was also pushed to its peak.

"it is good!"

The goddess secretly clenched her fists: "Perfect! As expected of me, this opening line is so cool!"

Then she waved to the sky and thanked the staff.

In the sky, the black-haired Valkyrie Ortlinde and the pink-haired Hildre looked at each other, stopped scattering petals, collected the flower baskets and flew away from the venue.

——The three Valkyrie sisters were summoned recently, but they probably didn’t expect that their first job in Chaldea would be this.

In fact, it was not just the three Valkyrie sisters. After confirming the threat from the Lostbelt, Chaldea activated the "military expansion" mode. On the one hand, it was to deal with the enemy's attack, and on the other hand, it also received support from Jiang Liu's Temple of the Sun King.

The temple itself is a super-super-super magic furnace core that can absorb energy from the atmosphere, earth veins, and ocean currents. The free energy absorbed is enough to maintain daily consumption, and even have surplus.

Roman made good use of this extra energy, combining it with Chaldea's own Holy Grail and energy supply system to conduct a large-scale summoning of heroic spirits.

There are more and more people in Chaldea, but fewer and fewer rooms. A few days ago, they were discussing whether to convert the pyramid of Ramses II into a new dormitory...

"The winner will not only receive the applause of the crowd, but the audience will also vote for the contestant with the most outstanding performance in the competition and present him with a mysterious grand prize—"

Two petite figures walked up to the platform holding a mahogany box with gold edges. They were little Tiamat and Toosaka Sakura. Both little girls were wearing cute princess dresses, one in black and the other in white, which were very impressive.

Sakura was obviously a little nervous, but luckily, Kotori's mother looked fearless, so Sakura also calmed down and handed the box to Ishtar.

"Clang clang clang!"

Ishtar placed the golden box on the stone platform engraved with a magic circle, and a protective shield suddenly rose up to cover it.

"It all depends on which hero will receive this highest honor!"

Including Jiang Liu, everyone's eyes were focused on the box, and they were somewhat curious about the things on the other side.

However, Ishtar did not keep them waiting for long.

"Okay, now I declare the sports meet officially open! Ready? Start!"

As he finished speaking, the swordsman hiding in a corner also raised his treasure high up.

"【Photon Ray】!"

With a loud bang, three-color aurora rushed into the sky, suddenly exploded in the constant entanglement, and evolved into extremely gorgeous light waves, flickering continuously at an altitude of thousands of meters. The spectacular scene attracted countless spectators to cheer, and Jiang Liu, who was sitting in the exclusive seat, also applauded along with the atmosphere.

I don’t know how Ishtar managed to get so many people to help her... but no matter what, the opening ceremony was indeed grand.

"Follow the landmarks, the winner is the one who completes three weeks along the track first. You are not allowed to use your feet, you can only rely on the horse's legs. You are also not allowed to attack other contestants, otherwise you will be disqualified!"

Taking advantage of the rising popularity, the first competition event started soon.

The content is "Horse Racing" and the contestants include Medusa, Georgos, Wolf King Robert, Aye-Aye, the King of Conquerors, Mary, Martha and others.

——Although some of them are not riding real horses, there is no need to worry too much.

Logically speaking, in terms of speed, no one can be faster than Medusa's Pegasus, so the Gorgon is also full of confidence.

"preparation!"

Before starting, Medusa first had to summon Pegasus, so she took out the nameless dagger and gently placed it on her neck.

"Player No. 3 is out due to foul!"

With a whistle, the blonde referee holding the holy flag took out a red card and threw it to Medusa.

"It is strictly forbidden to harm the contestants - even self-harm is not allowed!"

"what?"

-

"I bet one hundred thousand quanta that No. 13 Sakamoto Ryoma will win!"

Li Xiang spent a huge sum of money and bet on her fellow villager.

After confirming her choice, the Hundred-Faced Hassan clone who was in charge of odd jobs also hurried to the dealer Columbus to place his bet.

Mashu was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Senior, we have accumulated these after conquering so many singularities..."

"Don't be afraid of Mashu, this game is a sure win. Tell me how I can lose if I can get a flying dragon on my face."

Lixiang looked confident, as if he had everything planned out.

Her confidence is not without reason, because among all the contestants, Ryoma Sakamoto does have the highest winning rate.

After all, this is "horse racing", and the quality of the mount will directly determine the final victory or defeat.

Unlike the apparently bulky chariot ridden by the King of Conquerors, or the silver motorcycle modified by Aho-no-Ma, Sakamoto Ryoma's mount stands out from the crowd.

His wife!

It was a fantasy dragon that was disguised as a human. In terms of "mystery" alone, it even surpassed Pegasus, but it was inferior in pure speed.

Now that Medusa is out, the man who can summon a red-eyed black dragon has the greatest chance of winning.

"Oh, brother—"

"Husband, who do you think will win?"

The fox-eared priestess interrupted Ritsuka's words. She was sitting still but still, and leaned her soft and warm body into Jiang Liu's arms.

"I think the queen riding in the bullock cart is very dignified and looks like she is sure of victory."

"No, I choose number 17 - Astolfo."

"Huh? Why?"

"No reason."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly and did not explain.

——Because no man can refuse Ah Fu!

Chapter 936: The Virtuous Fox Wife's Way of Managing the Household with Diligence and Frugality

Jiang Liu's choice of Astolfo was certainly not a casual decision, nor was it for any improper reason. Instead, he came to this conclusion after rigorous and accurate analysis.

Astolfo is considered a newcomer in Chaldea. He has not shown much of his strength since being summoned, and Ritsuka does not know him thoroughly enough. Although he knows that he has a treasure called "Phantom Horse that No Longer Exists in This World", he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Although both are fantasy species, if we compare their levels, Sakamoto Ryoma's wife "Arlong" is higher than Astolfo's Hippogriff and Alexander's Divine Bull.

It was based on this that Ritsuka chose Sakamoto Ryoma.

——But Jiang Liu has a different opinion.

He knew where Astolfo's Hippogriff came from and had even seen it flying in Romania.

At that time, this phantom horse was still in the hands of its original owner "Bradamante", carrying the golden-haired female knight to fight on the battlefields in Romania and established great military exploits.

Therefore, Jiang Liu knew very well that the physical destructive power of the Phantom Horse might not be very high, and at best it was only at the anti-military level, but the value of the Phantom Horse did not lie in this. Its strongest point was mobility!

Its burst and sprint may not be as good as Pegasus, but its flexibility is comparable or even better.

And this thing has an overwhelming advantage over Pegasus: it can "teleport"!

To be precise, it is to enter the gap between the surface of the world, travel through space through the portal in the inner sea of ​​the star, and when you return to reality, it will naturally create an effect similar to teleportation.

In other words, in terms of mobility, none of the vehicles present can match the Hippogriff except the Pegasus!

"Although Astolfo doesn't look intimidating, he is still qualified to be a Rider. Hippogriff is one of the most mobile fantasy species, so his chances of winning are quite good." Jiang Liu nodded.

“By the way, it was Astolfo who was summoned, not the others among the Twelve Warriors… In a certain version, Bradamante was also among the Twelve Warriors of Charlemagne. It’s a pity that she was not summoned.

That butt... no, that heroic figure is impressive. Although she is a woman, her heroic spirit is superior to that of Astolfo, a man."

"Bradamante... How come my husband knows so many girls? Hey? By the way, is Astolfo actually a boy?!"

Xiaoyu stared at the pink-haired beautiful boy (?) with wide eyes, a shocked expression as if she had seen something incomprehensible.

Jiang Liu and Li Xiang were not surprised by this. After all, Astolfo's appearance, manners, and voice were all signs of a beautiful girl, so it was normal even if they made a mistake.

In fact, for Ritsuka, who was born in the Far East, she even felt that for the gentlemen in her hometown, if they looked like Ah Fu, even men would... wouldn't it be better?

Of course, Jiang Liu had no such interest, so he could look at this game with a normal mind.

"Since my husband has chosen this, I will bet on Astolfo... one million quanta." Xiaoyu casually said a number that made Ritsuka look sideways.

"One, one million?"

Mashu opened her mouth and asked in surprise: "Why does Miss Fox...Yu have so many quantums?"

"Did you miss something just now... Never mind..."

Xiaoyu played with a strand of her hair with her left hand, and slowly touched Jiang Liu's face with her right hand, looking so intimate that Lixiang hated her so much.

"To put it bluntly, your 'quantum' is just a form of existence of magic resources. As long as they master the basic structure, any qualified magician can transform magic into quantum. And it just so happens that I know a thing or two about magic."

"Uh..." Xiaoyu said lightly, but Ritsuka and Mashu both knew that this was not something that could be done with just "a little knowledge".

In theory, magicians can indeed create quantum directly, but in reality this requires long-term precise operations and some understanding of the nature of magic, which is basically impossible for modern magicians to do.

However, even though we cannot create quantum, we can create machines that can generate quantum... This is the job of Chaldea's technicians.

As for the witches of the Age of Gods, such as Medea, Semiramis, and Xiaoyu, their hands are more precise than any machine. They can skip those tedious processes and rub quantum directly with their hands!

"That's not right. Even if you have the "skills", how did you get such a huge amount of magic power?" Ritsuka looked at Xiaoyu suspiciously.

Xiaoyu suddenly became quiet, and even moved away from Jiang Liu, responding to Lixiang's question with silence.

Seeing this, Ritsuka became even more concerned: "Why did your attitude suddenly change... What are you hiding from us?"

When she said the latter part, her tone was even a little harsh.

"Brother, I've told you before that women out there can't be trusted. The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. She must be hiding something from you!"

Jiang Liu touched his cheek, where the touch of Xiaoyu's fingertips was still there, and then he looked at the fox-eared witch.

He didn't suspect Xiaoyu of doing anything shameful; he was just simply curious.

"Well..."

Xiaoyu fiddled with her hair with one hand while her eyes wandered, revealing a rare guilty look.

Lixiang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had finally caught the handle of this vixen and could take the opportunity to persuade Jiang Liu, so he took advantage of the victory and said:

"There's nothing you can't tell me, right? Don't you call my brother your husband? Is there anything you would hide from your lover? Unless you have something to hide..."
