She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 52: Tournament Conference (2)…

Alice really came here accidentally.

A few days before the official start of the game, the Philo Cavaliers gave Alice and Kent a vacation, on the one hand to allow them to adjust their state before the game, on the other hand, to avoid being watched by their opponents during training. Level. The Philo knight suggested that they take this opportunity to relax, after all, the nearby villages have never had such a lively time.

Alice and Kent followed their kindness and immediately went to the village together. They stayed together for a while, and soon felt that walking with each other was not as easy as wandering on their own. So they separated amicably at the place where the lottery was purchased. Kent went to the pub to buy a glass of pale ale, and Alice went on to wander around the square.

The previously empty square is now full of various tents and stalls. There are snacks that you can buy for a few copper coins, and other miscellaneous things. Alice wandered from one end to the other, still feeling still. At this time, she saw a black tent a little further away, and walked over.

As soon as she entered the tent, Alice realized that it was not quite right.

There were no smiling and friendly businessmen in this tent. Several people in black robes and masks all looked at her.

You can tell at a glance that the few people standing or sitting here are all “crows”.

This tent is not the kind of ordinary stall, obviously, Alice suddenly broke into the dark night family, especially the dead family’s gathering place.

Alice is not as afraid of death’s relatives as others, at least, not so much after she became a mercenary. She watched too many dead people and too many “crows”. Sometimes, she had to walk through hills full of corpses, and occasionally looked at a “crow”. They would stay opposite each other for a while, and then the “crow” would turn his head and look away, driving the corpse in other directions.

Everyone knows that “crows” generally don’t speak, so looking at each other is the way of communication between them. They usually wear masks, so it is difficult to see their eyes. It’s hard for Alice to tell what the “crow” was thinking when she met her. Perhaps it was because she had seen too many corpses and urgently needed to draw a breath of life from the eyes of a living person. Perhaps she was just assessing how long she could live. When will it become their food.

There are always many legends related to “crow”. Some people say that they can see the death date of the person in front of them. Others say that there is no face behind the mask of “crow”. The thing hidden under their mask is death. “Looking at each other is almost like facing death. But this is nonsense like other “crow” legends, and Alice knows that behind those masks are humans.

Although Alice was not so afraid of “crow”, no matter who it was, the first reaction to entering this tent by mistake was to say an apology and then hurriedly withdrew. But before she quit, Alice saw a small table in the tent that vendors often use.

This may indeed be a gathering place for “crows”, but it is also a small stall selling things at the same time.

It’s so subtle, are there really people here who can buy things at the “crow” stalls?

Alice looked at the things on the table. It seemed to be some handmade small jewelry and crafts. The things sold by the family of the dead looked unexpectedly ordinary.

“You can buy something here.” Cecilian’s voice suddenly rang in her ear, “These items with the blessing of the God of Night may be useful in the future.”

With so many people here, Alice couldn’t directly ask Circelian why. Although Cecilian could see her doubts, he didn’t seem to intend to explain it here.

Alice stood at the table and looked at it carefully. Some things are really ordinary, like the wooden statuette of Bacchus bull head that Lena gave Hewlett back then-after many years, Alice finally understood The meaning of the jokes they made fun of at the beginning, it is a pity that the two of them now don’t know where they are; some things are suspicious. Alice saw some jewelry made of white bones, the material looked a bit like human finger bones.

Alice avoided those that were too scary or too ordinary, and chose a pendant with a black star and moon pattern. It was a bit unclear what material it was made of, but it was definitely not human bones or other parts of the body, at least The color is not the same, and the hand feels not like bones.

The crow on the opposite side glanced at her and gestured a two with his fingers.

Alice took out two silver coins, but when she saw the “crow” opposite she shook her head and let out a short grin.

So it is two gold coins.

So expensive! Alice was taken aback. Just about to put the pendant down, she heard Cecilian say to her in her mind:

“Just buy it, the price is right.”

It’s not wrong to hear what Cecilian said here. Alice put down two gold coins and held the pendant in her hand.

Alice didn’t notice it when she just picked it up. When she held the pendant in her hand, she realized that it looked like a piece of ice, so cold that it caused a headache. A little hiss.

This made Alice a little curious.

Can this thing restrain the flames of the ring of contract? If it really has this effect, let alone two gold coins, even two hundred gold coins probably won’t lose money. But Alice didn’t intend to break her promise to Earl Rachel, so even if it had such an effect, it would be useless for her. I believe Circillian knew this too.

But it must have some other purpose, otherwise Cecilian would not let her pay for it. Alice grabbed the pendant and got out of the tent, only to hear Cecilian tell her:

“The pendant made by the family members of the dark night can exude the atmosphere of the dark night.”

“and then?”

“The God of Light most hates the God of Dark Night. If he feels the breath of the dark night on your body, he won’t have time to find out if there is a’dangerous future God’s breath’ in your body. The pendant of the Dark Night God will be a wonderful thing. Disguise, so I suggest you wear it all the time.”

Okay, so I bought this thing for the safety of her own life.

Useful is very useful, but this use is still a bit boring.

“It’s not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the’crows’,” Cecilian said. “Sooner or later we will see their master.”

Alice didn’t know whether the “master” Cecilian was referring to here meant those real necromancers or the gods in charge of the kingdom of death. Even for a person like Alice who is used to seeing death, thinking of these people will feel a bit cold in his back, but it is probably a necessary process to wake Circillian.

“How’s the matter on the farmer’s side?” Alice deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to mention those terrifying dead relatives. “Did you get the prayers of the farmers?”

“Got it.” Somehow, he didn’t seem very happy.

“what happened?”

“Let’s put it this way, the prayers of the faithful of Faun and Faun have added some mana that I hadn’t anticipated before. The direction is a little different from what I expected… The breath of Faun and Faun is too heavy.”

Cecilian’s tone was subtle, but the content of his words didn’t sound particularly strange. Alice asked a little uncertainly:

“This sounds like… a good thing?”

“It’s a good thing.” He confessed reluctantly, “In any case, the strength has always been strengthened. I just need to adapt a little…Before I really wake up, there are too many restrictions.”

It’s rare for gods to show people’s similar emotions, and they seem a little cute.

This idea is really disrespectful, but the impression of “cute” does not disappear so easily in my mind. Cecilian said nothing, obviously pretending not to notice her thoughts.

Oops, it makes people think that he is even cuter.

During the tournament, the castle is not closed even at night, so Alice can go back a little later. She hung the pendant around her neck and went to the tavern to find Kent. Kent drank a few cups without knowing it, and was already a little bit drunk. Seeing her coming, he raised the glass in her hand:

“Come for a drink?”

Alice glanced at him:

“How much did you drink? No problem for tomorrow’s game?”

Kent reached out and made a gesture:

“It’s the last one, it doesn’t matter.”

Pale ale has basically no degree, and Alice is not worried about Kent drinking too much, so she has a glass of it herself. Tomorrow is the day of the archery competition, and both of them need to relax.

Kent’s archery skills are naturally not mentioned, but he has never participated in this kind of activity, and he must feel nervous. Alice’s archery skills should have been said to have just entered the door recently, and she is in a period of “novice luck”, but who knows if this kind of extra luck value for novices will suddenly disappear when the game comes? But Alice is always pretending to have all kinds of things in her heart, and she won’t take the game as seriously as Kent.

She accompany Kent to finish the last glass of pale ale, and the two returned to the castle together.

There was not much to say about the second day of the game. Forty-five people who participated in the game each had to shoot ten arrows. All ten shots shot by Kent hit the bullseye and became the player of the day. Philo Knight hit the bullseye nine. Alice shot six, and one of the other four missed the target. This was her best result. Although she was not out of the blue, it was not much worse than the other knights.

The archery competition is the most difficult one among the three games. Except for such outstanding archers like Kent, most of the Cavaliers are not far behind. Thanks to the wonderful performances of the Kent and Philo Cavaliers, they are now in the first place in the total score. On the prediction list on the square, their rankings have also risen by two to sixth place, although they still seem to be the champions. Missing, at least has entered the first half of the list; in the Cavaliers’ personal list, Alice’s ranking dropped by two, but Kent jumped to ninth, becoming a popular candidate for the Cavaliers Tournament.

This victory gave Kent, who has been very nervous, a lot of confidence. Although the next game is his worst swordsmanship, he still yelled passionately:

“Let them come!”

Philo Knight and Alice were much calmer than Kent. The old knight looked at Kent who was in a state of excitement, then turned his head to look at Alice:

“Tomorrow depends on you.”

Alice nodded:

“Do not worry.”
