Alvin still got up very early for the next day's game, of course, because he barely slept last night. Laiwu and the others didn't come back all night, and Alvin estimated that they had a great time.
Alvin ate something casually and then went to the player area to look at the day's match list. Now there are only sixteen players left, and there are only eight games in a day. In order to prevent the audience from leaving too early, the competition committee left a long interval between each game.
He looked at it and saw that he was in the penultimate show, scheduled for two in the afternoon. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he could go back and take a nap. He found that the competition committee was also very interesting. Lan Yu's competition was placed in the first group, and O'Ni'an's competition was placed in the last group. Now a lot of spectators can stay at the stadium all day. After all, they have to watch both games, right?
Alvin decided to watch Lan Yu's game before going back to sleep. For some reason, after last night, when he thought of Lan Yu, that smile always appeared in his mind, and he always felt like something was pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe.
"It seems I still can't think too much." Alvin shook his head and sighed to himself.
"Alvin?" A charming voice came from behind him.
"Your Highness?" Alvin said in surprise, "Thanks to your potion a few days ago, otherwise I would have died. I still haven't had the chance to say thank you to Your Highness."
"It doesn't matter. That magic potion is originally used to save people. But you, space magic can easily kill you, so be careful." Onian said with concern.
"I really blamed myself for being too pushy that time. I won't do it again in the future." Alvin explained with a smile.
O'Nian nodded after hearing this, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Lanyin's competition is about to start, aren't you going to watch it?"
"Um... I have to go." Alvin replied hesitantly, "I was about to go in."
He looked at Onian's half-smiling expression, her golden eyes filled with a playful hint, and couldn't help but lose consciousness.
O'Nian looked at the dumb look on his face, covered her mouth and laughed. "Then let's go, I also want to see her play."
"No wonder Lan Yu wants to call the princess a white-haired fox. This appearance that confuses all living beings and is so breathtaking is no joke." Alvin sighed in his heart.
In fact, Alvin has always wanted to ask the princess why she flew to save him in front of so many people that day. Logically speaking, he had only met the princess once and was not even a casual acquaintance. But in the end, he still didn't dare to ask.
The princess and Alvin appeared together, attracting a lot of attention. The audience couldn't help but whisper for a while when they saw it.
Alvin glanced at Onian and saw that she didn't seem to have any reaction, as if she didn't care what the rumors would say. Even the princess didn't care, and a guy like Alvin wouldn't even care.
Alvin looked up at the sky. The early sun was shining straight up, and it was already a bit dazzling. Oddly enough, the weather has been nice this time around, he thought to himself.
Not long after the princess and Alvin stood still, Lan Yu and her opponent also entered the venue.
When Lan Yu took the field, she glanced at the stands and saw Alvin and the princess standing together, her eyes passing by calmly.
Alvin looked at the red-haired figure in the field, feeling disappointed, and the feeling of being out of breath in his chest came again.
O'Nian saw that Alvin's expression was strange and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? You look so bad suddenly?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Please forgive me, Your Highness," Alvin waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday."
Onian glanced at Alvin, "Did you quarrel with her?"
"What? Who?" Alvin looked at Onian in confusion.
"Who else do you think it could be?" O'Nian'an joked, "I saw a few days ago that Miss Lan Yu was very concerned when she saw you were injured. Now you are here pretending to be confused?"
Alvin was embarrassed by what she said, "Your Highness, how dare I pretend to be confused in front of you."
"Then tell me, did you quarrel with her?" Onian asked with a smile, her golden eyes full of curiosity, and she had no intention of letting Alvin go.
"No, he was fine yesterday." Alvin said helplessly. He regretted the words as soon as he said them, feeling like he had jumped into the pit dug by the princess.
"Oh... we were tired of being together yesterday." O'Nian found it interesting to see Alvin's honest answer.
Alvin was noncommittal and did not dare to answer the princess's question anymore.
At this time, the game in the center of the field has begun, but to be honest, there is not much to watch. Even if there are only sixteen players left, there are too few people who have actually played against Lan Yu. The martial arts player opposite her was obviously not used to players like Lan Yu, who used high-level magic as instant magic. He had received several immobilizing and slowing magic spells at the beginning, which caused him to be in a negative state.
The martial arts players couldn't get close to Lan Yu, and their efforts to strengthen their martial arts were constantly interrupted by Lan Yu's high-level magic. They were already in a quagmire. At this moment, with a move of Lan Yu's staff, more than a dozen flame pillars fell from the sky, instantly surrounding the opponent. The martial arts player had a desperate look on his face. He originally wanted to use his last strength to fight back, but now he was directly blocked by Lan Yu's "Fire Sky Prison".
According to common sense, Lan Yu can stop at this time and wait for the deacon to announce the result of the game. But the dozens of flame pillars quickly gathered towards the center full of hostility.
Several deacons at the side of the arena were startled and quickly jumped onto the stage to block the martial arts players. The roaring flame pillars were wrapped in the magic shields of the deacons for a long time before dissipating.
Only then did the deacon think of announcing Lan Yu's victory. The first game ended without any danger. Alvin secretly thought that if someone else had done this, the competition committee would probably have to intervene again to investigate whether there was any suspicion of harming the opponent. With the background of Prince Reza's palace, no one would dare to offend him.
Lan Yu turned around and left the scene indifferently, not looking at the stands again.
Alvin felt lonely and thought to himself, "Why do I feel like a different person after one night?" He stared blankly at the red-haired figure disappearing into the darkness of the contestants' tunnel.
"Come, tell me, what's wrong with you?" The princess came to tease Alvin again at this time, "Why do I think she is so resentful?"
Alvin couldn't help but turn his head and look at the princess with white hair and golden eyes carefully, feeling that she was very interested in the affairs between him and Lan Yu.
When the princess was stared at so unscrupulously by him, she didn't blame Alvin for being rude. Instead, she looked at Alvin with interest.
Alvin didn't say anything. He took out an object from his chest and waved it in front of the princess' eyes.
"Why are you carrying it with you?" O'Nian looked at him with wide eyes, a flash of red on her cheeks. This object is none other than the pot-shaped pendant containing the Harunai Fox potion.
"Otherwise?" Alvin actually said this without thinking, but the princess had a different taste when she heard it.
"What about Miss Lan Yu's potion bottle? Do you carry it with you?" Onian asked meaningfully with a smile.
"Yeah." Alvin blurted out.
"You don't refuse anyone who comes, and your answers are quite cool." Onian glared at Alvin.
Alvin looked at the princess with a cold expression, and then realized that his mind was a little out of shape today. It must be because he didn't sleep well last night, he thought. Of course, it's also possible that he was uneasy because of all the troubles about Lan Marriage.
"Your Highness, both you and Miss Lan Yu ignored the opinions of others and tried their best to save me from life and death. How could I..." Alvin said helplessly.
O'Ni'an saw him lowering his head and saying nothing, feeling funny in her heart, "I'm teasing you, look at how nervous you are."
Alvin raised his head and looked at Onian in surprise. In my heart, I lamented that the princess changed her face too quickly.
"I heard that this girl from Prince Resa's palace is very arrogant. It's impossible for ordinary people to fall in her eyes. Please tell me how you hooked up with her?" Oni An asked, blinking and looking at him with a smile.
Alvin was so shocked that he couldn't speak this time. He never expected that the princess would ask so directly. He looked at Onian intently. What kind of soul was hidden under this immortal appearance with white hair like snow and bright eyes and white teeth?
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the look on O'Nian's face became even more exciting, "Could it be that she hooked up with you?"
Alvin looked at O'Nian's raised eyebrows, and his mind froze, and he sighed to himself, "You can still judge women accurately. No wonder Lan Yu wants to call her a white-haired fox."
Originally Alvin wanted to explain it, but after hugging Lan Yu last night, there was no way to explain it. It's hard to stop calling them ordinary friends, as this would make it difficult for him to deal with his own conscience.
Seeing Alvin's hesitation and silence, Onian felt that teasing the man in front of her was interesting.
Alvin felt like he was being held hostage by the princess, and was being controlled in every way. Unfortunately, he still considered himself a "veteran in love". He was afraid that the princess would not let him go, so he quickly said goodbye to the princess and went out.
Onian looked at Alvin escaping in embarrassment, covered her mouth and chuckled.
Alvin thought about coming out to look for Lan Yu, but he didn't see her at all. She seemed to be hiding from him. In desperation, I had to go back to the tent and sleep.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
After sleeping until noon, which was only a few hours in total, Chen Zhu and Kaiba came and woke Alvin up. Originally, he had no intention of having lunch, but they forced him to get up and eat.
"Can't you just let me sleep a little longer?" Alvin felt that his eyelids were too heavy.
"Get up soon, Lai Wu will have dinner with Miss Juan Yun later, let's follow him." Chen Zhu said with a wink.
"Yes, get up quickly. We will sit at the table next to them and listen to what they say." Kaiba smiled lustfully.
"Keba, you are such a serious person, why do you like to do this kind of thing?" Alvin said scornfully.
"How serious is he? Kaiba is the most versatile among us." Chen Zhu felt that Alvin was very naive.
"Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly." Kaiba urged Alvin.
Alvin was dizzy, so he was pulled by Kaiba and Chen Zhu. We arrived at the door of a restaurant called "Gushi". There were several sturdy guards guarding the door. Generally speaking, unless it is a particularly lively pub, a few guards will be asked to stand at the door to prevent anyone from drinking too much and causing trouble. However, it is rare to see a restaurant employ so many guards, and all of them look like they have extraordinary skills.
Alvin felt strange when he saw Chen Zhu and Kaiba in front being blocked by several guards.
"Show them the sword medal." Chen Zhu turned back to Alvin and said, "It's the iris sword medal you brought when you entered the venue."
Alvin looked puzzled and took out the iris sword badge from his pocket. The number surrounding the purple thin sword on the iris leaf was already 16.
When the guards saw Alvin's sword badge, they immediately showed admiration and made way for the three of them.
"What exactly is this place?" Alvin couldn't help but ask, "Why do you need to bring a sword badge to enter?"
"It's just a mystery. It is said that only players from the Pillow Sword Club can enter here, or players can bring their friends." Kaiba explained.
"We thought we were bluffing, but we didn't expect the investigation to be so strict. Fortunately, we brought you along." Chen Zhu said with a smile.
After what they said, Alvin became quite interested in the restaurant. As soon as they entered the store, several people couldn't help but take a deep breath. It looks like an ordinary tent from the outside, but I didn't expect that there is something special inside. The entire ground below was hollowed out. When you walked in, you realized that it was a three-story luxury tavern that gradually deepened downwards.
Alvin looked around. The wall was made of cut cylindrical rough wood, and then was delicately covered with a layer of dark vines, coupled with orange-yellow magic raw stone lamps. Every few Stepping up there is an oil painting with thick brush strokes, which is quite atmospheric.
The lighting in the store is also very good. Giant chandeliers go from the top of the tent to the three underground floors. Floor lamps are embedded on the wooden floors of each floor, and corridor lights are also embedded on the downward escalators. Looking at the entire third floor, it can be said that it is majestic yet quiet. I guess the owner of this store put a lot of thought into it.
Seeing the grandeur of this restaurant, Chen Zhu and Kaiba were secretly amazed.
"Tsk, tsk, the consumption in this kind of place must be appalling." Alvin sighed, "Laiwu still spent a lot of money."
"Who says it's not?" Kaiba nodded, "Look quickly and see where he is sitting."
So a few people began to search for Laiwu's figure among the three floors. Unexpectedly, the three of them standing at the top of the stairs were too conspicuous, but many people recognized Alvin. There were already many in the bustling place. Look here with your eyes.
Alvin himself could not have imagined that he was now the most popular player besides Princess Onian and the Resa brothers and sisters.
But what surprised Alvin was that Lan Yu and Gafo happened to be having lunch here. Of course, the most amazing thing was that the princess was also there. And these three people are still sitting on the bottom floor.
"Well, this is such a coincidence." Alvin thought awkwardly, having the urge to eat Chen Zhu and Kaiba alive.
So under the guidance of everyone's gaze, Lan Yu saw Alvin, and Onian also saw Alvin. However, Lan Yu glanced at him coldly and lowered her head, as if she didn't recognize Alvin.
Princess Onian, on the other hand, waved to Alvin without any scruples, asking him to sit over. Alvin thought to himself, "If I sit here, others will think that she and I have an appointment to meet here. This is in front of Lan Yu, so she may misunderstand again. Hey." Alvin couldn't help but feel sigh.
"Hey, the princess seems to be waving to you?" Chen Zhu reminded in a low voice from behind, but his eyes were looking at Kaiba next to him, which meant that there was something good to watch.
"Yes, Alvin, if you don't go over there, that's the princess." Kaiba said in a low voice while suppressing a smile.
"I shouldn't have come. I was really killed by you two." Alvin whispered, only moving his lips a little, without affecting the smile on his face.
"Okay, you go quickly. I found where Lai Wu is." Chen Zhu took Kaiba away.
Alvin followed their direction and found Lai Wu and Juan Yun on the second floor. Unexpectedly, these two people were also looking at him. "Originally, I came to catch Laiwu, a man who was having an affair, but now I have been caught. What the hell is this?..." Alvin sighed helplessly, "The key is that I didn't become an adulterer."
In order not to offend the princess, Alvin "bitten the bullet" and walked to the princess.
After reaching the bottom floor, Alvin discovered that there were two other people at Lan Yu's table, and they were sitting in a blind spot that was not visible from upstairs. One of them was Bai Chen. Alvin didn't recognize the man sitting next to Bai Chen. He only thought that the man's face looked like a baguette, and his two small eyes looked like two raisins that accidentally fell on the bread. . The man's skin was not very good either, so he smeared his face with oil to cover it up. From a distance, he thought he was eating an oiled baguette, which startled Alvin.
When Alvin passed Lan Yu's table, Lan Yu didn't look up at him from beginning to end. On the other hand, Gafo looked at Alvin with a mocking expression, while Bai Chen was quite proud. The "baguette" also raised his head and glanced at Alvin. Alvin felt like he was being scrutinized by a piece of bread. He couldn't help it anymore. He looked at the two raisins and burst out laughing.
Hearing Alvin's laughter, Lan Yu lowered her head and glanced at his expression, then looked at the man next to Bai Chen, and the corners of her mouth curved upward slightly. Apparently she also realized what Alvin was laughing about.
"Baguette" is a very sensitive person, and he couldn't help but feel resentful when he saw Alvin's expression. Of course, the smile on Lan Yu's lips did not escape his eyes.
Alvin knew that he was a little rude, so he quickly walked past Lan Yu's table and sat across from Onian.
Now the rumors about the marriage between Lan, Alvin, and Onian are more inclined to be between Alvin and Onian. Lan Yu is more like a self-indulgent victim.
"What were you laughing at just now?" Onian asked curiously.
"Look at that man over there, does he look like a baguette?" Alvin pointed in the direction of Bai Chen's table with his eyes.
Onian looked over there and couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter.
"Look at his eyes again. Do they look like the two raisins that the master of the bakery accidentally threw in?" Alvin lowered his head and said with a suppressed smile, glancing there from time to time. .
When he said this, Onian took another look, and couldn't bear it anymore, so she could only lie in her arms and laugh silently. She laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, and her ears turned red.
"Okay, okay, it's very vulgar to make fun of other people's looks." Alvin put away his smile and said seriously.
Onian looked up and found that she was laughing with tears. She smoothed her messy hair, glared at Alvin angrily, and finally calmed down.
Alvin looked at her eyes, which were watery and still flushed. He was speechless for a moment, unable to look away, and his mind was completely absorbed.
O'Nian didn't react at the first moment, and looked at Alvin a little naively. Seeing Alvin's increasingly demented appearance, she finally couldn't help it, and coughed twice.
Alvin only woke up after being reminded by Onian. He shook his head, knowing that he was quite rude, and secretly exclaimed, "You really can't stare at this face that is bringing disaster to the country and the people."
"Do you stare at Miss Lan Yu like this on weekdays?" O'Nian looked at Alvin curiously, "No wonder she wants to beat you to death..."
"No, no." Alvin said with shame, and quickly called the waiter to take orders to relieve the embarrassment.
At this time, the group over there finished their meal and were about to leave. Lan Yu still didn't glance at Alvin. Alvin felt puzzled that this girl was really too elusive.
The "baguette" didn't forget to give Alvin a quick look before he left. Alvin felt that this person was too narrow-minded and was just joking.
As a regular customer of this restaurant, Onian recommended several dishes to Alvin. After tasting them, Alvin secretly sighed, "I didn't expect the princess to be quite knowledgeable about eating."
The two of them had eaten until almost one o'clock before they got up and went to the venue. During this period, when Lai Wu and Juan Yun finished eating, Lai Wu didn't forget to give Alvin a wink before leaving, and Alvin also sent one back, saying, "Brother, you can't be more generous." Kaiba and Chen Zhu, who followed Lai Wu, did not forget to whistle meaningfully at him before leaving. Alvin thought to himself that the princess didn't care about this.
