About a moment later. His Majesty the King came to the Royal Arena under the protection of hundreds of guards. The atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic, after all, it was not easy for many people to see the emperor of the empire with their own eyes.

Ryan also took a second look, due to the long distance, and the surroundings of His Majesty the Emperor were heavily protected, he couldn't see it very clearly, but he vaguely saw that His Majesty the Emperor was about a young man about thirty years old.

After His Majesty the Emperor arrived, the lottery ceremony officially began, and everyone suddenly fell silent, after all, drawing a good lot can make their team go farther, and everyone was staring at Archbishop Iberle standing in the center of the venue.

In full view of the crowd, the airtight container filled with the names of the participating teams was opened with a small opening that could fit into an arm, and Archbishop Iberle slowly reached into the seal, and soon, he pulled out the first note.

A cautious note from a bishop in a red cloak next to Archbishop Iber, under the watchful eyes of the two watchmen, read aloud: "The first team is, 'The Gentlemen of the Bay!'" A magician chanted a spell, and on the huge stone tablet behind Archbishop Iber, the words "Gentlemen of the Bay" appeared.

Ryan looked closely at the large stone slab, which seemed to be similar to the one from the Royal Academy of Magic when he listened to Victor's lecture. Faras seemed to have guessed Ryan's thoughts, and she whispered in Ryan's ear, "This slate is indeed the same type as the Royal Academy of Magic. ”

Ryan looked up at Faraz, and the two met in the air, and everyone remembered a casual contact in Victor's class, and their faces couldn't help but be filled with tenderness.

"Second Team, Eastern Wilderness Militia Squad" Third Team, Tithlurak Mercenary Squad"

......

The members of the Lace team were also very nervous, they had already drawn almost thirty teams, and before they could be drawn, Alina leaned on Faraz tightly, grabbed Faraz's arm with her little hand, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Fani, why haven't you arrived with us yet?"

Faras comforted Alina and said: "Don't be afraid of this, the key is not to run into strong teams, as for the order of the draw, it doesn't matter if the order of the draw is first or last." ”

As he spoke, he heard the bishop in the red cloak shouting loudly, "The thirty-third team, the Lace team." ”

Faras said nervously: "Thirty-three, that means that the next seven may be our opponents. ”

"Listen carefully and see if there is a strong team. ”

"The thirty-fourth team, the Giant Mercenary Regiment squad. ”

......

"The thirty-ninth team, the Elkiel Mercenary Corps. ”

Faras was so nervous that she took Ryan's hand and said, "Don't be the Royal Knights, don't be the Royal Knights." ”

"Forty teams, Simeone Squad. ”

When Faras heard this name, she was stunned for a moment, and Red said: "Simone, this name is so familiar, is it ......?"

Faras nodded and said, "It should be them." ”

Ryan asked, "Do you know any of the Simeone team?"

"Simeone is a junior magician studying at the Royal Academy of Magic, and I was promoted with them. They asked me to attend, but I didn't say yes. I can't imagine that I still have to run into them. ”

Alina asked, "Sister Fani, how did you know we were going to run into them?"

"The first one to draw is Team 1, and the second is Team 2, and when all the draws are over, we can figure out what our opponents are," Faras explained. In the first round, the first and second teams faced each other, and the third and fourth teams faced each other...... The second round is played between the winners of the first and second places and the winners of the third and fourth places...... In previous years, no team had more than 64 teams, that is, it continued to compete until the last 8 teams remained, and basically every eight teams with next to each other would go to the final eight finals. ”

Red saw that Faras was talking a lot, and was a little out of breath, so he said for Faras: "We are the thirty-two, as long as there are no more than sixty-four teams participating this time, we will definitely compete with the strong ones in the thirty-third to forty teams to compete for the qualification to enter the top eight." That's why Faraz didn't want us to run into the Golden Knights team, because they had won the championship twenty times in a row. ”

Under the explanation of Faras and Red, everyone immediately understood, and at this moment, only the bishop in the red cloak was heard shouting: "The fifty-seventh team, the Royal Knights squad." ”

This sentence immediately caused a sensation, especially the participating teams that did not read their names, and some people couldn't sit still, shouting loudly: "It's not fair, it's not fair, why did you let us run into the Royal Knights team?"

The sound resonated with the teams that had not yet been drawn.

"Yes, yes. There must be something wrong with this. ”

"We are asking for a redraw. ”

"Let the Royal Knights die, they have won more than 20 championships, and they will come every time, and they will not give others a chance. ”

Archbishop Iberle stopped the ceremony of drawing lots and said softly: "In front of everyone's eyes, there are high-level magicians of the Royal Wizard Legion to supervise, who can cheat, who dares to cheat?"

Archbishop Ibeel's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the Royal Arena, and the noise suddenly became quieter.

Archbishop Iberre continued: "Never give up on anything before it begins. Did you start the game? Do you think you won't win? It's true that the Royal Knights were relatively strong in the past, and they had won the championship twenty times, but the Royal Knights didn't use any unfair means, and their honor was earned by themselves. Every time the members of the Royal Knights squad participate in the Royal Athletic Tournament, it is the first time to participate, and they can only participate this time, isn't that enough to show their attitude? If you don't have confidence in yourself, you can give up now. ”

Archbishop Ibeel's words silenced the entire Royal Arena.

After a short pause, seeing that no one raised any more objections, Archbishop Ibel continued the ceremony of drawing lots, and soon all sixty-two teams were drawn.

Seeing that the stone slab behind Archbishop Ibel was densely filled with words, Ryan took a long breath and said to everyone: "It seems that the opponent of each squad has been decided, and we are also going to practice against the squad called the Giant Mercenary Regiment." ”
