Chapter 123: The Competition
Even in the closed base, it is still as bright as day, the lighting equipment is fully turned on, and the light of the mage tower lights up everything around it.
But at this time, on a flat land, something is happening that is very out of line with the background of the times.
"Handball, handball in the box! Referee, it's a penalty, definitely a penalty! Damn, ignore me, did you collect black money again! β
Dill was full of resentment, such an obvious handball in the penalty area was not judged, how could this ball be kicked.
"Ha, you dare to roar at the referee, a red handkerchief (you can't find a substitute for a red card)!"
Triumphantly, Silver Hook pulled an old red-painted handkerchief out of his pocket and waved it at Diel.
"Friendship first, victory second, what a despicable player, what a just verdict. Praise be to you, just goblin judge. Sadness said calmly, but if he wasn't the fouler of handball, it might be more convincing.
Dill was immediately furious, took out his staff and was about to do it, but was quickly stopped by his teammates.
"It's normal for a goblin to collect black money, it's not normal if he doesn't collect black money, and we don't have to worry about being blackmailed again when he collects black money. Moreover, you don't know how dark that kid is in the silver hook, since he has received the money, he has long been shameless, you have trouble with him, maybe he will take the opportunity to punish more of our team members, then it will really be lost. β
"Didn't you say yesterday that we were going to send money too? Why is this whistle darker today? β
"What, we sent 2,000 gold coins, the Gentleman's Country Football Team (referred to as the national football team), directly sent 6,000, what do you say this goblin who sees money will judge?"
"Then why do you want that goblin to be the referee? Not to change the fair one. β
"I asked my lords too. Lord Roland said that the goblins had short legs, and they didn't want teams on either side. Can't kick the ball. It's okay if you want them not to referee. It's enough to be a player, are you willing to accept a player whose ball is higher than your knees? β
"....... can actually try to be a goalkeeper, oh, forget it, it's going to laugh to death."
"Hehe, indeed, that's even more outrageous, you can't even touch the ball when you jump."
It's just entertainment anyway. If you lose, you just help with housework, and the two of them talked about themselves, but they didn't dig deeper, and the more they listened to the silver hook, Kabbalah, and other goblins next to them, the more ugly they became, and the more annoyed they became.
"Insult the referee! Red handkerchief penalty! β
"Red handkerchief, your sister, we are here! Is there a penalty in football where you can get the chat down? β
Well, that's right, this is a football match, played by the Law, the Principality of Tolan United (referred to as the French team), against the Free Gentlemen's Country football team (referred to as the national football team). You read that right, I came up with the abbreviation. I just want to take the opportunity to vent the resentment that has accumulated in my heart for many years.
It's been a month since I've been trapped at the base, and there is enough food and water, but the long indoor confinement life has made everyone who is used to being free and easy very unaccustomed, and morale and spirit are very low.
So, I "invented" football, basketball, badminton and other ball games, but unfortunately, the only one accepted by everyone is this most difficult football, after all, basketball or something, too dependent on talent, and the differences between various races are too big, and they can't play together.
For example, basketball will inevitably have a collision, the advantage of the strong hand-to-hand combat race is too great, and the giant race bows down and slams the dunk, goblins and dwarves can't see the basket when they look up, and the like football can be accepted by everyone, but everyone is not used to kicking their feet, and they are still on the same level.
But even then, the mess keeps happening.
"Damn, sad wind, you're still addicted to playing, you can't play football with your feet obediently!"
The seemingly loyal man smiled.
"But the rules also allow other parts other than the hands to kick the ball, and the tail is completely in line with the rules, or you can use the tail too."
Han smiled and was full of surprise, as if he was still wondering why the other party didn't use his tail.
"I'm human, and I have an X tail! You #%......%Β₯%! "This is the first time that the captain of the national football team has been saddened. HΓ©rault's angry curse unlucky bastard?
Well, it's basically like this, copying the rules of human football is obviously not suitable for different races, and all kinds of bugs emerge in endlessly.
But should I say that the abbreviation of the national football team is used well, the national football team led by the sad wind is simply a master of finding bugs and loopholes, and there are endless messy tricks, all kinds of brushing the lower limit and playing scoundrels on and off the field.
The two teams have played more than 30 games, and the French team has only won five games, and the rest have been lost by the national football team.
Of course, the bugs that appear in this case will be fixed before the end of the game, but in a sense, it also forces the small number of people to keep finding loopholes in the rules.
"Insult your opponent, red handkerchief!"
The goblin who had collected enough money did his duty and immediately seized the opportunity to send the opponent off.
Well, at least he's the third unlucky guy to be penalized today, and the scene has become 11 to 19.
What, the number of people is wrong? At the beginning, it was still 11 to 11, but this group of gentlemen was too fierce to play without twice the number of people at all, but even so, under all kinds of messy tricks, the French team did not win a few games, and the national football team continued to win big victories.
What? We care. Lewd? For so many years, every time I watch the national football game, it seems to be a crime, now that we have arrived in the other world, we will will. It's okay to have sex for two days.
Hey, that day, the national football team can enter the second World Cup again, and we don't expect to win, let's be happy with a draw.
"Want to win? Let's go in the next life! β
Just as I was about to get into the wrong place, the gruff voice of the dwarf Rommons drove me into a harsh reality.
So, I didn't hesitate to start taking revenge.
"Snow Breath Ice Wall!"
The ice sword slammed into the ground, and as he was running with the ball, there was an extra wall of ice in front of his eyes, and then he hit the wall with a "ping-pong", and the dragon ball smashed directly into his face, and then fell to the ground hard.
The rules I set do prohibit direct attacks and obstruction of opponents, but they don't prohibit building walls on the ground, not to mention that I am not an opponent at all.
"Bastard Roland, we're on one side! What are you doing to me! β
Perhaps it was the dwarf's outrageous sturdy body that allowed Rommons to overcome the disadvantage of the short-legged clan. Be part of the team.
And he shouted. But it's the one that bothers me the most.
Obviously, I want to join the human side. For whatever reason, they all said that I had to join the gentleman's side, and also, in order to restrict my movements, not let me use shady tricks, they forced me to be a goalkeeper who usually can't move casually, does this mean that I am more of a gentleman before I am a human being?
"Well, I didn't do it. You see, Renee of the opposite team is also an Aurora Knight, and she must have done it on the other side. β
"What nonsense! Renee girl is so insidious as you, and she just came to the three-section wall, customizing the shape of the ladder according to her height, hitting her knees first and then her stomach and then her head! Old man's waist, I am ...... when it hurts."
When the national football teammates quarreled directly, the ball had been picked up by Casio as a striker, and then the players of the opposite French team suddenly looked nervous.
Recently, the rules have been constantly revised, and all kinds of supernatural and racially gifted yin methods have been restricted, but there is one thing that cannot be restricted. That's the four-legged Casio.
Centaurs who come and go like the wind are real rangers and ace marksmen, and before in order to limit him. Once again, the French team really went to the Knights, and they turned football into polo.
But apparently this violation of tactics was too unfair to others, so after a victory, the mount tactics were miserably harmonized by the rules.
But alas, absolute balance can never be achieved, and whether or not Casio is faster than a war horse, we can't ask a centaur to walk on two hind legs.
At this time, Casio showed his true colors as a ball king, seeing that he only played a few feints sideways, and completely shook off the opponent's defender through high-speed movement, and was about to enter the shooting range, scoring was simply easy.
"Ahhhh
The young man couldn't help but boast, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"That bastard dug a trap! There are still stumbling horses, you are so vicious! Do you think this is a battlefield? Your sportsmanship? β
I touched my nose and didn't speak, as if I remembered it from the conversation last night, and told Renee to do it, but they didn't expect them to do it.
"It seems that Rule 643 has also been determined, and it is not allowed to tamper with the court beforehand."
There are forty or fifty new ways to play every game, and the rules of football are as thick as a phone book, and I guess they will continue to do so until the final version of the rules is finalized, and the rule book alone will fill a shelf.
"Oh, when the time comes, before the new players play, they must first test the rules of the court, and they are not allowed to play without taking the 60 points. After the written test, the scene of the test, dribbling, turning, yin, one item to come, if you don't take the test, you will not think about it if you want to kill the instructor. After that, I will send you a C photo, and if you don't die in a ten-year football game, I will transfer you a B photo, and the superstar can turn to a photo. β
Of course, I could have simply and crudely dictated what I could do, but that was no fun. Anyway, it's entertainment, so it's fun to have a lively Hulai.
Moreover, it seems that they have long regarded this football game as a brainstorm, and trying to give the opponent a trick is the way to win, the original pure physical exercise, has now become a comprehensive competition with half physical strength and mental power, and I can't wait to see what this otherworldly football will develop.
"No matter what happens in the end, at least it's better than that murderous tennis ball and murderous soldier."
Thinking of the two failed attempts, I was in a cold sweat again, and I was only allowed to do anything in those two projects, which basically closed most of the loopholes, but the result was that the ball game developed in another weird way.
"Since I can only serve according to the rules, I'll swing the racket with all my might. Look at the moves, people and pets are one, and the beluga whale serves! β
The swing of the girl Aurora Knight is very beautiful, and the swing of the snow giant after transformation is very powerful, but judging from the tennis ball that shattered the steel on the spot, if it is not missed, it will die on the spot.
"Hmph, it's time to show you the real technique, look at the moves, the disappearing magic ball! Only one of those 10 million golden balls is real! β
Golden Ball, your sister! It's obviously a golden bow and multiple arrows, what does it mean that one of them is true, and what is the tennis ball all over the ground after the ball lands! Casio, you make it disappear for me!
"Look at the moves, cut the body with a knife, cut the soul with the heart, and serve with a razor!"
You think you say a razor is a real razor! Your balls? I only see sword qi! Others won't be able to see you because you throw your sword qi with a racket, and I'll do the same with this move, look. Whirlwind slash serve. See if you die!
Fortunately, it is a ball made by Longpi. Otherwise, it would have been crushed by their brute force, and soon, no one will play these two games, after all, except for those few changes. We still cherish our lives.
After that, I learned that because of the prescribed state of death, you can only use the power when serving and receiving. The result is that one goal is heavier than the other, each ball is weirder than the other, and the last goal will end in life sooner or later.
"Murderous tennis or something, forget it. Turning your attention to how to cheat should be a little safer for players and spectators. β
But the facts have proven that security is only relative, and it is urgent, and there are not too many such as Nash's tooth and Marlon's elbow, and Suarez's tooth and Suarez's hand are also more than common. But no matter what happens, at least everyone loves to play. It shows that this weird football game is still promising.
"Maybe in the land of mages, there will be a group of mages playing in the air on brooms, and then there will be someone in charge of hitting the ball to knock the opponent off the broom. Kindness? It seems to be in my impression, it was invented by a wizard from another world, and it seems to be called ...... It's called Quidditch! β
As I was scavenging for memories of the past and was stunned, the French team who had picked up the ball had already passed it in front of me, and then a knight volleyed it hard.
"Snow Breath Ice Wall!"
The ice sword fell, and the entire goal was blocked by the ice wall, and the opponent's shot could not enter the slightest, and it was directly bounced off by the ice wall.
Obviously, this is cheating, and this practice of piling up obstacles in front of the goal will inevitably be harmonized later, and it can only be used this once.
"Article 644, it is not allowed to tamper with the terrain of the stadium during the game. Damn, there's one less hole to drill. β
And when I smiled at the frustrated enemy and broke their confidence, while my heart was frustrated that it was getting harder and harder to find the hole, the next second, suddenly a thunderstorm shattered all my ice walls.
"The Snow Breath Ice Wall is a four-ring spell, he doesn't have much magic power, and he can't release it a few times, don't be discouraged. Go on! β
Kross's shout immediately boosted the morale of the whole team, but I frowned, of course, not because of the group of young men in front of me.
"Article 645, personnel on the field are not allowed to interfere with the situation of the battle. The cheerleaders also came to help, it was too much. β
Coloss, who has a short skirt and a short skirt, was pushed into the position of cheerleader by everyone, but in fact, she always wanted to play.
At this point, Renee with the ball was already in front of me, but I still didn't mean to stop me.
"Oops! It hurts! My tail is bent! β
Yes, the reason why I'm not worried is my gold medal defender - Sadness. HΓ©rault.
With him, breaking through the goal is really not a personal job, and the first thing you have to deal with is the endless tricks under his cheeky skin.
This time, just stepping on his tail (I found out he was deliberately sticking his tail under someone's feet), the guy just lay on the court and pretended, and then ......
"Red handkerchief!" It has long been bought, how could Silver Hook miss this opportunity. A red handkerchief turned the tide again.
The referee's presence was too strong, and the boos on the sidelines resounded in the sky.
"Article 646, if one party strongly opposes, the referee is allowed to change through the vote of the audience."
At the time of Hu Lai, who was back and forth between the two sides, the ball game was coming to an end, and the national football team was leading 30-9 (you read that right, so Hu Lai's goal was much easier than in a normal ball game.) οΌγ
"It's over, it's not over, and the French team will reach double figures."
"Referee, let's make a substitution! I'm down, let Green on! β
As soon as the words fell, the on-field and off-the-field, which was still boiling just now, became quiet, and then a tall figure just stepped into the court, and the surrounding audience collectively took a few steps back.
After all, the time he appeared a week ago was too shocking.
At that time, I shouted, "It's a critical moment, let's go up and kill them", and the guy actually pressed a button immediately, and then "boom", "boom", and the whole stadium flew away with all the players on it.
Although he controlled the gunpowder so well that almost no one was injured as a result, the paprika and pepper in it were not pleasant.
After the smoke, many people's eyes were red and swollen and coughed for two or three days, when Green was beaten into a pig's head and suddenly reduced from the main force to a substitute.
It was only in hindsight that I had to prepare in advance because I mentioned that the stadium was like a battlefield. This guy actually really prepared it as a battlefield.
He dug a hole in the pitch the night before. It was hard to evenly arrange nine hundred low-power goblin thunderstorms on the field. As a result, the explosion was cleverly designed, although no one was seriously injured, but the collective suspension for three days was indispensable, and even many spectators were involved.
Although it is now forbidden to use explosives on the court, seeing his majestic figure, everyone remembers the previous tragedy and remembers it vividly.
"Green, I'll leave it to you. Kill them! β
Green replaced me, and his huge body may be very suitable for the goalkeeper position, but in fact, Green will not be a goalkeeper at all, and he is not looking for him to be a goalkeeper, at this time, it is my main purpose to find a safe place to escape.
"Don't worry, everyone, I didn't bring explosives this time......."
"Boom!"
The lie lasted only two seconds, and the hapless Dill was blown up.
"Boom!"
The second bomb was actually in the audience, this time. The audience still had the intention of watching the ball, and immediately scattered in all directions. And the players will not be stunned, in the rumbling explosion, in the background of the players flying around, the game ended early as always.
The next day, this dramatic ending of the ball game was still a hot topic in everyone's mouth, and the figure of the sinner hanging upside down on the court became the object of everyone's spit.
"Hmph, it's all that bastard, and I'm losing everything."
"What did you bet on? France wins? Then you really deserve to lose. β
"No, the national football team is too shameless, as long as it is allowed to play tricks, even if the French team doubles the number of people, it is still impossible to win, I just bet that the French team will score more than ten goals in the future."
"I'm also the one who gambled, almost, just one goal less, what a pity! But it seems that many people are the one who chooses, and they are all angry to death. β
"Hmph, you don't understand, the goal of my bet this time is to be blown up by Green, and the result is to win! 10x odds. β
"Damn, you can guess it, you're too good. However, can such bets be placed? β
"Not to mention, there's also the 'Tooth of Suarez' bet, which wins as long as someone bites on the pitch. Someone hit it last time. I pressed that one this time, but unfortunately I didn't hit it. β
"Awesome, you dare to read such a small chance, and you won the bet. However, this time the stadium explosion is only a tenfold return, and the accident is a bit low. β
"Yes, it seems that there is a guy who has made a big bet on this option, he seems to be pressed together with 'the French team with ten goals plus an explosion ending', and one person swept ninety percent of the bet to lower the odds......"
In a dark house, the lucky man who had won the big bet looked at the mountain of gold coins in front of him and was laughing proudly.
"Don't laugh, it's time to divide the spoils!"
I looked around, and as partners, Silverhook, Sorrowful, and Renee were all there, and their eyes were full of hunger and thirst for the harvest.
"Silver Hook, yours, one fifth, the explosion preparation and referee work hard."
Silver Hook Leha put away the money bag, and for the goblins, there is nothing more pleasant than counting gold coins.
"Next time we continue to work together, we will make a lot of money together!"
I smiled and nodded, but I didn't plan to tell him that because he had gone too far on the field, he had been disqualified from refereeing, and the referee who would sit with me next time to share the spoils would be the goblin prince Kabbalah.
"Sad wind, yours, one fifth, well done on the field, but ......"
"I know the truth, I won't forget the Brothers Grimm who carried the black cauldron, to be the boss, you have to be righteous, otherwise how can you convince the public, leave the rest to me, I will satisfy Brother Grimm."
Although I don't know when I became the recognized boss of gentlemen, I still nodded, as long as I don't touch my hobbies, in a sense, the extremely cunning tragic wind is reliable, and the wrist is flexible, and he is more trustworthy than anyone else.
"Renee, one in twenty, take it seriously next time you play match-fixing, that expression and action are too fake, and you almost have to go to the gang?"
"Brother Roland, didn't you say that you should make a fifth?"
"Stupid, how good is it for children to take too much money, I will keep it for you, and I will give it to you together when you grow up."
"Oh, that's good."
Maybe Her Royal Highness the princess was trying to have fun, but she was obviously blackened but she wasn't angry at all.
"By the way, Brother Roland, Sister Kelly also made a bet with me?"
"Huh?"
"He's betting you're going to confiscate my share, or in the name that children can't spend money indiscriminately."
"Heh, I really know me...... Oh no, is that the kind of person you Brother Roland is? β
Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, how can Kelly know the truth?"
"Huh. You've said it all, the expression is too fake, and it's been discovered. The little hand hammered her head, and Renee playfully stuck out her tongue.
As soon as the words fell, at the same time, Sad Wind and Silver Hook grabbed their gold coins and tried to slip away, but the door to the room opened by itself.
"Sure enough! Your Excellency, you, you are unbelievable! When I first heard it, I thought someone was slandering you. You are like a fair and just oracle! β
Coloss's face was full of frustration and shock, as if she had seen her unsuccessful child go down the wrong path.
"Momo's hard-won belongings...... It's you bad Roland again! But as long as Momo is allowed to sleep with little Luo Luo in his arms tonight, forget it. Hehe, Momo promises to do nothing. It's true! At most, just take off his little clothes......."
That Momo, wipe your saliva first and then say this, don't do anything? I'm so stupid if I believe you.
"Little Roland, hehe, you dare to take Renee badly, have you forgotten your sister Kelly's methods? Sister Kelly is definitely not angry for losing money. β
That, Sister Kelly, I'll make up for you how much you lost, don't smile at me like this, it's scary.
"My armor, the Misilol Mithril alloy full-body armor that I almost got when I died, my lord, can you give it back to me?"
The door has been blocked by the angry debt collector, and on the familiar face, there is also a familiar angry face, and after thinking for a long time with his head down, I said.
"Watching football needs to be rational, gambling on football ruins your life, sincerely! Also, people die for money, birds die for food, and they want me to return the money, but there is no door. By the way, Silver Hook and Sad Wind are about to run away, so please don't let them go. Finally, don't slap your face, I'll see someone tomorrow. β
[Article 647: Relevant personnel of the ball game are not allowed to participate in the organization of gambling; Article 648, never let the money-greedy goblins be the referees, let alone the cunning Roland to participate in organizing the competition! Goblins and Roland are never allowed to participate in gambling tournaments! (To be continued......)
