The main competition day of the Pillow Sword Club has finally arrived.

The entire city of Salyuhi was packed with people. From Phoenix Street to the competition venue outside the city, the crowd of spectators stretched all the way. In addition, there were many attractions to watch in this competition, including the mysterious Princess Onian and Prince Resa's family.

For the sons and daughters with terrifying strength, everyone had a heated discussion along the way about the final ownership of the championship.

In the annular venue, a lot of people have gathered around the dozen or so entrances to the upper level. Fortunately, there are so many entrances, otherwise the entire venue would have been packed. A lot of people have also gathered around the noble entrance to the south.

Come on, those who came first are all impatient and eager to watch the excitement. Many high-ranking officials from Guizhou will come out of their mansions in carriages just now.

After all, it officially opened at nine o'clock, and then the competition committee made a speech to explain the rules, and then the king spoke. This first game might not start until ten o'clock.

Lai Wu and Alvin directly rented a spacious tent to sleep in the market. These people are used to being lazy. They are not happy to get up early and sleep a little longer. Plus that

After looking at the match list that day, the games between Laiwu and Alvin were scheduled for the afternoon, and they were even more reluctant to get up early.

Last night, Alvin set up a quiet barrier for the tent where several people lived. Now the noise outside can't come in at all. Alvin didn't sleep well last night and woke up before dawn.

, he was bored and flipping through the "Laws of Space and Time" on his bed, complaining constantly about being hungry, but it would be dark and there would be breakfast for sale. Alvin stuck his head out of the tent and felt the cold air coming from

The pain in my nose went straight to my brain, so I covered my forehead and quickly retreated into the warm tent.

Laiwu was in a good mood and slept very well. As for Chenzhu and Kaiba, they didn't come back until very late after drinking. When the two of them lay on the bed, they snored one after another. Alvin couldn't fall asleep until very late.

Now there was a lot of people outside, Alvin thought to himself, and poked his head out to take a look. Sure enough, the whole market was bustling with people, and it was very lively. Alvin looked back, and saw that the three of them were still asleep, and sighed.

After hearing this, he decided to go out to eat something by himself. The smell of barbecue from the dining car not far away had successfully attracted Alvin the moment he opened the tent.

Alvin watched the hanging leg of lamb spinning on the grill. The seven slanted nozzles under the grill spit out flames of various colors at intervals. It looked like a rainbow-colored leg of lamb.

The stall owner was still busy rolling cakes for other customers, and his well-trained cat slaves sprinkled the leg of lamb with cumin, pepper, cinnamon leaves, and occasionally applied a layer of orange honey.

Alvin couldn't help but swallow his saliva and stood in line at the back of the queue outside the dining car.

Just then, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Alvin was staring at the leg of lamb with longing eyes and turned around impatiently.

"It's me!" a young man said excitedly, it was Xia Ye who was beaten a few days ago and had a bruised nose and face.

"Oh, it's you. Are you feeling well?" Alvin smiled.

"No problem at all." Xia Ye patted his chest and said confidently, "By the way, you didn't tell me what your name was last time?"

"Alvin, Alvin Felix." Alvin was a little unaccustomed to self-introducing his family name.

"Fei Lie? Earl Fei Lie? Are you Earl Fei Lie's son?" Xia Ye suddenly widened his eyes and asked.

Alvin nodded, looking at the other person's expression and secretly wondering, wondering if his father was still so famous? He only showed up a few times a year.

"Your Highness Alvin." Xia Ye suddenly clasped his fists and saluted, with a serious look on his face.

Alvin looked confused, "What are you doing?"

"My father was once the leader of the Count's Biao Lie Regiment, and followed the Count in dozens of battles..." Xia Ye said with some excitement.

Alvin had only heard from Laiwu and the others that his father was quite famous in the military. He didn't expect to meet the son of his old army today.

"Yeah." Alvin nodded. He didn't know what attitude to take for a moment. It was mainly because he was too hungry or the smell of the roasted lamb leg was too tempting. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you had breakfast?"

Are you ready? Do you want to eat something together?"

Alvin felt funny in his heart. Every time he met this Xia Ye, the first thing he said was, have you had breakfast?

Xia Ye originally wanted to say passionate words when he met the Fei Lie family, but was blocked by Alvin's "Have you had breakfast?" He still felt that the person in front of him was very interesting.

The people in front of the queue had finished their purchases, but it was finally Alvin's turn, but Xia Ye was ahead of him. "Oh, how can I let you come every time, Your Highness? This time I will do it, this time I will do it..."

He paid the money first without waiting for Alvin to say anything.

The stall owner showed off his skillful knife skills and neatly sliced ​​off some meat from the outside of the rotating lamb leg. Even the roasted gravy was not wasted and was rolled directly into the naan bread. The two mutton naan bread were wrapped in a short time.

It was finally handed over to Xia Ye and Alvin.

Alvin took a strong sniff of the mutton naan bread that he had been waiting for for a long time, and then took a big bite, thinking that he had indeed not missed it. The lamb leg meat was roasted and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with spices and honey.

, it couldn’t be more delicious. Xia Ye, who was beside him, also praised it.

"What time is your game today?" Alvin took a few bites and felt less dizzy.

"It's past ten o'clock, where are you, Your Highness?" Xia Ye also swallowed heavily.

"It seems to be around two o'clock in the afternoon." Alvin thought about the match list he read that day, "Don't call me Your Highness, where am I?"

I can afford it.”

When he shouted like this, others thought that his title was high, Alvin thought to himself.

"I have to have it, I have to have it," Xia Ye said sternly, "My father told me before he died that he had received a lot of favors from the earl in his life, but he never had the chance to repay him. He said that if there is a chance in the future, he must repay the kindness he gave me back then.

.Besides, if you hadn’t enlightened me last time, I might have gone to that person again to make trouble. In any case, these kindnesses must be repaid.”

Alvin looked at his determined expression, thought for a while and then said: "But what are you going to repay me for? I don't need any help?"

"Your Highness, the present is the present, and the future is the future. How can we say what will happen in the future? Don't worry, Your Highness, you will always be able to use me in the future." Xia Ye finished the meal first and said with a smile.

Alvin nodded helplessly after hearing this. He thought to himself, this man is a man who values ​​friendship.

After breakfast, Alvin planned to go back to the tent and lie down, but Xia Ye dragged him to watch the opening ceremony of the Pillow Sword Club. Besides, Xia Ye's own game was about to start soon, and he had to

He went to the player area to register for a physical examination. Alvin was dragged to the east player area by him. The guard at the door checked their iris sword badges and let them go.

There were already about ten players waiting in the tent hall where the players were waiting. These should be the first batch of players to compete. Alvin glanced at the wall clock in the tent and saw that the time was almost nine o'clock.

Alvin and Xia Ye walked straight into the passage. There were two forked roads in this passage. One sloped upwards, which led to the contestants' stands in the ring. The remaining one was for the contestants to pass directly.

On the way to the competition venue, there are several competition committee staff guarding the door. Players who have passed the physical examination can receive their registered equipment here and then participate in the competition. Players who have completed the competition must return their equipment here.

The two of them came up from the slope and leaned against the hanging lamp at the angle between the bronze pole and the wooden pole. Alvin carefully looked at the construction model of the mixed wood and bronze in the passage, sighing that this method can bear the load and save materials.

, marveled at it.

In the passage, you could already hear the noisy and noisy sound of tens of thousands of people in the venue. When you walked out of the passage and saw the dazzling skylight and the bustling crowd, you could fully feel the atmosphere of the Pillow Sword Club.

The large area is only divided into three rings: upper, middle and lower, but each ring has five or six floors. From top to bottom, there are nearly twenty floors. Looking around, there are so many people, surrounded by mountains and seas, I can't help but sigh.

Watching this unprecedented scene of carnival.

Alvin walked out of the passage and walked into the contestants' stands. He saw a white-haired figure leaning against the railing. The abrupt cold wind blew up the waterfall of snow, just like rolling up the colorful Milky Way. He looked at her white neck with freehand brushwork.

Showing off his neck and shoulders, Alvin lost his mind for a moment.

Perhaps sensing the gaze behind her, the woman turned around. Her golden eyes were like the vast ocean, and her gentle smile seemed to be the return of spring. Last time, Alvin was surprised by the princess's grace, but seeing her again today, he was stunned.

He couldn't speak, he was stuck there, not moving forward or retreating, and he was dumbfounded. He didn't look like he was "hardened in the battlefield".

Xia Ye, who was nearby, was startled by Alvin's boldness and rudeness. He tugged on Alvin's sleeve and signaled him to quickly salute the princess. A few days ago, he had breakfast and saw him joking with the prince's daughter.

, this person showed no aristocratic etiquette when meeting the princess. Xia Ye was sweating, but he still admired Alvin's courage in his heart. The other contestants who came to watch the opening ceremony deliberately kept a distance from the princess.

With awe and scruples, Alvin walked up casually.

"Um... Alvin, I have met... met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Alvin only remembered to salute when Xia Ye reminded him, and he blushed and stuttered nervously.

When Princess Onian saw his stupid look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She was used to seeing those sanctimonious gentlemen, but she rarely saw someone as "reserved and shy" as Alvin.

Xia Ye admired Alvin even more in his heart. The uneasiness and youthfulness on his face were so lifelike that others would have thought he was a young man who was inexperienced in the world. If he hadn't seen him put it in his eyes two days ago,

The "Lan Yu Reza" was so amused that it was difficult to connect him with the man in front of him who stuttered even when talking to the princess.

Alvin himself was still cursing in his mind. The appearance of this man who brought disaster to the country and the people was breathtakingly beautiful. Even though he was "experienced in hundreds of battles", he still behaved like a young man who had just started to fall in love.

"Alvin, from Earl Philip's family?" Onian asked with a smile.

Alvin nodded with his eyes widened, wondering how the other party knew about him.

Seeing him nodding, Onian's eyes suddenly lit up and she became interested.

"I heard people say that you almost lost your life when you teased the girl from Prince Reza's family?" Onian joked.

Alvin's first reaction was very surprised. He almost choked on his own saliva. He didn't expect the princess to talk about this when she came up. He quickly explained awkwardly: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Your Highness, this is a typical misunderstanding."

Make bad friends, get beaten out of nowhere, and misfortunes will happen, it’s terrible to see.”

Onian smiled, as if she didn't care about Alvin's explanation. In her heart, she felt that this person was funny. She was still making love a moment ago, but now she was talking eloquently.

Alvin smiled bitterly, thinking that no explanation would be useful.

"Are you here to see the opening ceremony too?" O'Nian asked with a smile.

"Reporting to your highness, I was dragged here by this little brother next to me. It's still early in my game." Alvin said helplessly.

The princess always smiled politely and nodded without saying anything.

asked, and turned around.

Alvin looked at the beautiful figure with a sense of independence and pride, and a tender feeling of compassion. He seemed not to see the noisy tens of thousands of people in his eyes, as if they were standing on a distant mountain.

In the cold pavilion, I looked at a beautiful lady in a white fur coat and a silver coat, with a broad heart, overlooking the snow on thousands of mountains, feeling the desolation of the eternity.

While Alvin was still reminiscing about the conversation with the princess, Xia Ye pulled his sleeve again and motioned him to look at the stands opposite with a strange expression.

Alvin followed his line of sight, looking across the entire circular stadium, and saw a familiar figure in the stands opposite, wearing a bright red dress and a signature wool cloak. If it wasn't Lan Yu, who else could it be? A few doors away.

Alvin could feel the other person's glance towards him intentionally or unintentionally from 100 meters away, and the look in his eyes was half-smiling, which made him break into a cold sweat. Alvin thought to himself, if they weren't so far apart, his skin would probably be damaged again.

suffered abuse from her.
