Chapter 357 1 Game
"Hunting competition?" Lin Tianlang was stunned for a moment.
"Well, that's right!" Alana nodded, and then laughed: "Xuexue, explain it to him~"
Lin Sirius looked at Sherrys. The blush on the blonde girl's face had not completely faded yet. She took a deep breath and then explained.
"The Hunting Competition is a grand event held every year in our Crescent City, usually held in the summer. This competition is open to all residents in the city, and everyone can sign up to participate. The quota is limited to 50 people."
"The content of the competition is to hunt animals within a designated hunting ground. The prey obtained from the hunt will be used for the grand dinner the next day, and everyone can participate."
"The prey in the hunting ground has been caught in advance and put in, so there will not be the problem of over-hunting. In addition, underage animals are prohibited from hunting. Catching the prey in advance and putting it in the hunting ground can also be avoided to a certain extent. Accidental hunting.”
"In addition, those prey will have ribbons tied on them, and the ribbons obtained will be used as proof. Animals without ribbons are not included in the hunting license and are prohibited from hunting."
"Furthermore, for different types of prey, the colors of the ribbons will be different depending on the difficulty of hunting. Different colors correspond to different numbers of points. Statistics will be done after the game, and the top three with the highest points will be the winners."
Sherry looked into Lin Tianlang's eyes and explained for him seriously.
"Oh? What rewards will the winner get?" Lin Tianlang asked curiously.
"There are no rewards. The hunting competition is only to give the royal family and ordinary residents of Crescent City an opportunity to have fun together, and it is not to award any rewards." Sheris replied.
"Oh, I understand, it's just to enjoy the fun of hunting, right?" Lin Tianlang nodded and said.
"Yeah, that's right!" The elf princess raised her head and said with a smile, "How about it, are you interested?"
"Yes, yes, but... I compete with you elves for hunting. Isn't that asking for abuse?" Lin Tianlang said with a wry smile: "You elves are natural archers, and you can also control arrows to turn. Why are we competing on the same stage with you?"
"Student Lin Tianlang is worrying too much." Sheris smiled softly and said: "This issue has actually been considered for a long time. In the hunting competition, elf bows and elf arrows will not be used. All contestants , they can only use ordinary wooden bows."
"Because even if everyone is an elf, different people have different magic abilities and different abilities to control arrows. Some people have relatively high magical talents. Even without much training, they can still have good abilities by controlling arrows. Accurate, this is unfair to those who practice archery hard but have weak magic talent." Alana shook her finger and said.
"But if wooden bows are used uniformly, the arrows cannot be manipulated, so the competition will be much fairer."
"So that's it." Lin Tianlang suddenly realized, and then nodded vigorously.
"By the way, Xuexue is our champion for three consecutive years!" Alana raised her eyebrows, then glanced at Sheris and said.
"So powerful?!" Lin Tianlang opened his eyes wide, and then looked at the blond girl next to him in surprise. He was well aware of Sherry's archery skills, but he didn't know what other elves were like, so he had no way of comparing them.
Now it seems that Sherry's archery skills are among the best even among the elves.
"No." Sherry lowered her head slightly and said a little embarrassedly.
"Harm, if you ask me, Xuexue, you are too modest." Alana said carelessly, and then looked at Lin Tianlang: "How is it? Are you interested in participating now?"
After the princess finished speaking, Sheris also looked up at Lin Tianlang. There was some expectation in the eyes of the blond girl.
"Since you are talking about this, if I don't go, won't I not give you face?" Lin Tianlang said with a smile: "And since there is actually no winner or lose in this so-called competition, that means I It doesn’t matter if you don’t catch a single prey, right?”
"That's what I say, but you have to give yourself some requirements. At least you don't have zero record." Alana said angrily.
"Uh... As for this, I can only say that I will try my best." Lin Tianlang scratched his face and smiled bitterly.
Although he didn't know anything about archery, and he had been taught by Sherry several times when he was in school. But after all, it was just a fixed target in the shooting range. The prey was a living target, and Lin Sirius had not dealt with it yet.
"Haha, let's go back quickly. Registration should have started in the city now. But don't worry, we don't have to compete with ordinary people for places. As royals, we still have this little privilege."
……
Crescent City, Royal Treehouse.
"Nana, how are you getting along with that child?" At the table, Atras asked his wife Esta next to him while looking at a document in his hand.
"They get along very well, I believe they are already friends." Asta said with a smile.
"That's good." Atlas nodded.
"Thanks to the arrival of Lin Tianlang's child, Nana has been smiling a lot more recently than before, and so is Sherry's child. I heard that the three of them are often together. Lin Tianlang... is also trying to adapt. The environment of our Crescent City. Nana should have told him about tomorrow’s hunting competition, and the child seems to be planning to participate."
"That's good. I feel relieved when I hear you say that." Atras said, but the look on his face was still a little solemn.
"My dear, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Esta noticed her husband's strangeness and asked softly. She stood up slowly, came behind her husband, and then gently hugged her man.
"I just received a report from the people below, saying that there is some movement in the west. In the monster's lair, the activities of monsters are unusually frequent." Atlas gently held his wife's hand, then kissed the back of the hand, and then sighed Take a breath.
"Monster activity?"
"Yes. For so many years, the monsters in the west have always been at peace with us, but recently they have been extremely active, and something feels wrong." Atlas said seriously.
"Could it be... that reason? After all, monsters and demons..." Esta pursed her lips and said.
"This reason cannot be ruled out." Atlas nodded and said: "The seal of the Demon King is looser than before. The overflowing demon energy may indeed affect the habits of the monsters."
"The Demon Lord... is what that child has to face..." Esta bit her lip lightly, feeling a little unbearable.
"No way, this is his mission." Aitras put down the document in his hand.
"No, in other words, this is our mission in the entire magic world. Demons can be killed by everyone in the magic world. Although the child is the only one who will face the Demon Lord in the end, before that, we have to fight for He has paved the way and cannot let other things hurt him in advance.”
Atlas turned around and hugged his wife.
"That's what Vincent said in his letter. He represents the attitude of the gods to a certain extent. Although the nominal leadership organization of the magic world is the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic cannot represent everyone. Besides, I don't trust magic. Ministry." Atlas said.
"Compared with leadership, the Ministry of Magic only facilitates communication among our various races."
"And you, my Majesty, the leader of the elves, what's your attitude?" Esta buried her head in her husband's arms.
"Vincent is my best friend, and my attitude is naturally consistent with his. Besides, it is our elves' duty to fight against the demons."
"Tomorrow's hunting competition will be held normally, right?"
"This is natural, but the soldiers must be prepared. If those monsters really make moves, we cannot fight an unprepared battle."
"..."
……
Time soon came to the day when the hunting competition was held. On this day, Lin Tianlang woke up neither naturally nor by the chirping of birds, but by the lively cheers of the whole city.
After getting up, Lin Tianlang found that the atmosphere in the entire Crescent City was quite lively. It can be seen that this hunting competition is indeed a grand event here, both in terms of atmosphere and scale.
After sorting himself out, Sirius Lin left the tree house room. Under the tree, a blond girl was already waiting for me.
"Good morning, classmate Lin Tianlang." Sherry said softly with a smile.
Next to Shiris, there was the elf princess with blond hair and twin tails. But the princess' face was a little dissatisfied, and she curled her lips and said, "Are you humans so sleepy? You actually want me to wait for you."
"Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting for so long." Lin Tianlang said with a dry smile. The elves' schedules are indeed very early. They usually get up with the sun, probably around six o'clock in the morning. Lin Tianlang usually sleeps until eight in the morning when he has nothing to do. This is considered a normal time in the human world, but for the elves, it is quite late.
"Actually, we didn't wait long." Sherry said with an understanding smile.
"You should be lucky that you didn't keep us waiting too long, otherwise I would have gone straight up and demolished the house." Alana said.
"Yes, yes, let's go?" Lin Tianlang laughed and said. After getting along with her for the past four days, he has become accustomed to the princess's personality, and has also adapted to the princess's explosive remarks from time to time.
"Your Highness the Princess, Sir Sherliss, and Mr. Lin Tianlang, let us send you there." Four guards said respectfully beside them.
"Okay, take us there, I can't wait!" Alana said with excitement, seemingly looking forward to the next hunting contest.
Lin Tianlang was actually looking forward to it. After all, this was his first time hunting! I hope that the next game can be spent happily...
