There are leathers like rubber, alchemical materials that are very close to plastic, and the new orphanage children are also skilled in alchemy, and Leon knows some of the characteristics of ball games such as ball, basketball, rugby, table tennis, and badminton, and studying these balls is their first task.I've heard about it, but ball games are too elegant and aristocratic, and the fields required are too big, and it's too difficult for ordinary people to learn.There are also ball games in this world, close to polo, croquet and golf, but these sports have not become more and more simplified after a long period of development, but have become more and more cumbersome.They become a status symbol rather than a joyful game.There are so many rules that even the real nobles can't remember, so the nobles themselves don't like to play.Please rest assured, the sports I have chosen are suitable for civilians.The first thing Leon determined to be able to use was rugby.However, the requirements of rugby are indeed the lowest, the shape of the olive, solid, has a certain elasticity but is not to the extent of being photographed, the surface is not too smooth but not very rough This is the requirement of rugby in Leon's mind, but he feels that this ball, and the rules of rugby he knows, must be different from the real rugby game on the other side of the earth, because this seems to be the group game he is most unfamiliar with.But it doesn't matter, it can be localized!
He summoned Maurifio and the other knights who had taken the lead, and Hogan and Batuthorn, and even Mombe, who had no work, followed.Do you want to let him go?
Eldi asked in a whisper, of course he was Mombe.Although Leon also had some opinions about Montbey, he still didn't chase him: rugby is such a thing, if he learns it, he can learn it.Maybe I will be able to play in the inter-city league in the future.Eldi doesn't understand the inter-city league thing, because there are no large-scale sporting events in this world.But if he doesn't understand something, he won't comment on anything more, and he can ask Leon again in private.Everyone sat down, Leon took out the rugby, and he also drew a diagram of the game on several large pieces of paper, and Leon finished speaking, took a sip of water, and asked: Is there any problem?
Everyone looked at the piece of paper with some dazed faces.Mombe raised his hand first: Why grab that ball?
What does it mean for the ball to look like that?
What does the winning side get?
The ball is made this way to be easy to hold.Leon stood up and held the rugby ball on his arm, just like that, if you are an adult, you can just hold the ball and run.The game itself is for fun, and the winning side is able to get bonuses, prizes, and honors if it is an organized game.Isn't this game about your Dyriel City Retreat?
Rugby represents the head of a demon, with one team being demons and one team being humans.The corners of Leon's mouth twitched, and he felt that this guy was finding fault.However, he found that everyone else was thinking about it seriously.In that case, if the demon team wins, it will be a big blow to the audience, right?
Maurifio said that both teams should represent humanity, right?
Rugby is the hope of survival.The one who wins in the end is the one who survives.I think it's best if both teams are demons, and rugby is the head of a human being, or the city of Dyriel, after all, the city was destroyed in the end.Sven-looking wolf Finon really likes this kind of bloody thing.It's all demons that cause demon worship, and you look like a smart person, so please use your brains more.The dwarf copper hammer is still an urn, and both teams represent human beings, so it is better to rugby than the blessed seed of the god of nature?
It does look like a seed.Moreover, our Church of the God of Nature does lack a game of our own church.That's a good offer, I agree.Seconded.Approve.Hmph, well, agreed.The last one is Finon.After a piece of approval, everyone looked at Leon, and Leon looked at them for a while: And then?
Maurifio: We're fine.Leon: I'm here to ask you to localize the game of rugby.And then the improvement you gave me was to talk about what the two teams stood for for a long time, what did rugby stand for, and then there was no more?
Is it pragmatic to say that a good church of the God of Nature is good?
Leon finally knew why there were so many chaotic rules for ball games in this world, because they were not a sport, but a ritual, or even a religious activity.Alright then, no problem, let's go play.There's no need.We all have jobs.Of course, it was Maurifio who didn't give Leon face like this.It is necessary.Everyone present should pull up a team of twenty people as quickly as possible, fifteen of them are the official players, and five are substitutes.We're going to have a draw competition.Okay, okay.Not giving face is not giving face, but Morifio also knows that when Leon is stubborn, it is better to listen to him.Everyone looked at each other, anyway, they just played with the children for a while, and at most threw in the time of the day today.Even if it wasn't voluntary, but after agreeing to Leon, everyone acted very quickly, and no one dragged it out, but fortunately, there were a lot of people who came one after another recently, otherwise it would be a huge pressure for this small slope village to send out more than a hundred people to play the game.Are you going to find someone?
They all acted, and Leon asked him when he saw that Eldi was still with him.No.Eldi shook his head, my prestige is not enough, and I can't pull out a team of people for the time being.is still old, although he is trying to grow up, but it will not be until at least five or six years later that he can really have his own henchmen.I can borrow you.Leon snapped his fingers, and a group of tentacles popped out, swaying around him and Eldy.Hahaha, the twenty people you said were good, and the twenty tentacles were also one person.Eldy laughed, and tentacles approached, and the tentacles that rubbed the red sandwich on his cheeks looked cold and slippery, but only those who touched them knew that they were warm, like human skin, and they didn't feel strange at all.The two of them played around for a while, today is a day off, the first batch of orphans already have someone to sit in the village hall, although they can only hear some civil cases at this stage, but they don't need to sit there for a day.Criminal cases are clustered together, and Elder goes mainly once a week.More than an hour later, everyone came back with their teams one after another.Maurifio, Finon, Elvela, and Copperhammer are the people of the knights who are on leave today, and Montbe is the people of the local warrior Lira, and the people brought by Hogan are more mixed with the children of knights and orphans, and Batuthorn brought the orphans.Everyone brought the Awakened, including the orphans in Batu Thorn and Hogan's team, although they originally said that they wanted orphans who had nowhere to go after they became adults, but in the first few batches of orphans who came, the proportion of the Awakened was still quite large.In addition to them, there are also many people who are on vacation, anyway, they are either sleeping in the dormitory, or training as usual, or eating in the restaurant, there is really no entertainment, it is better to come and see this ball game hosted by the head of their Xiaopo Village.Originally, the round-robin system was more suitable, but everyone was familiar with the way of playing, and the game time was insufficient, so this time we used the elimination system.Is there a problem?
When Leon took out the prepared props for everyone to draw lots, several captains said that they had no opinion.Okay, let's start the draw.The result was Elvira vs.
Morifio, Finon vs.
Mombey, Batutoon vs.
Hammers, and Hogan lucky with a bye.Hogan's Happy Cheers: yes!!
Seeing him like this, everyone who didn't care about it finally raised a little spirit, and the game must be played seriously to be happy.The venue of the competition was not in the civic square, nor was there a martial arts training ground, but in an open space next to the barracks, the tentacles had pulled out the overgrown weeds, cleared the pits dug by dangerous snakes, and wild mice and hares, and drew various symbols.Leon is really the most unfamiliar with the rules of rugby, and he doesn't even know how big the field is, so he can only follow his feelings.And you really can't draw the field too small, otherwise the awakened will score with a throw in the middle line, and it won't be rugby, but a pitching game.The players of the two teams came over to listen to Leon explain the rules: this ball, you can't kick it, but you can throw it.During the game, you must not use vindictiveness, magic, divine power, or any unnatural force, and you must not beat the opposing team or trip the opponent with your feet.It can collide, it can hug the waist or legs, it can hold people down.Whoever brings it to the scoring line first gets a point.That's all Leon knows about rugby, rules that don't know right or wrong, but must be badly missing.He wanted someone else to help him with it, but just play with it.The people on both sides were caught up in the field.The captains of both teams come and guess the coins!
Leon stood on the sidelines, blowing his whistle.Until Morifio and Elvira guessed the coin, neither the people who played, the people who waited to play, or the people who came to see the excitement took the game too seriously.On the court, the knights wore ordinary cotton clothes and wore cotton straps of different colors around their arms to distinguish friend from foe.At first, they all had a relaxed smile on their faces, the ball throwing action was soft, and the collision was only a joke.But after all, it's a competitive game, when Eldi holds the board every five minutes to report, Leon's tentacles twist his body around the field to pose for the score, and there will always be people with a stronger sense of victory and defeat, and they become more and more serious as the score changes.At first, the Alvera team fell behind, so their sense of urgency increased faster and they followed it seriously.The dismissive smile on the faces of the team members turned serious, the throwing action began to become powerful, and the fire of the collision...
The smell of medicine becomes strong.Ah one of the team members was knocked out, and you can see the sweat he was exuding as he flew out.But no one cared about him, and he just rolled and got up and kept running.The increase in the temperature of the game on the pitch brought people off the pitch, and people began to cheer and scream for the people they supported and the teams they supported.The noise began to attract more people, and the area around the stadium became more and more lively, and there were even people who opened the betting market and then the knights on leave took away the final result with the bookmaker with the bet, and the Morifio team lost and the Alvilla team won.Elvira brought in players who were in a state of competition earlier than Morifio's players, and by the time the Cavaliers of Morifio's team were also pressing to catch up, it was too late.As soon as they came down, Finon and Mombe, Batu Thorn and Copper Hammer, needless to say, these four teams took the initiative to run up the field together, and then they were all knocked down by Leon (tentacles) to guess the coin!
If you don't decide to guess the coin, if you don't work once, twice, or three times?
Every time I guessed wrong, I lost twice in a row, and Fei Non and Meng Bei looked at the gold coins and said to Leon: Can you come for the third time?
Beep!
Leon blew his whistle and pointed to the side.Everyone who watched the game for an hour, of course, understood what this meant, Leon remembered that the game time was one hour, and he didn't know that it was a ten-minute quarter, with a break in between, but the physical fitness of the awakened people on the field was enough to cope with this kind of high-intensity hedging game, and even the knights who were off the field looked more like they were not interrupting when they were in the middle of the court.Leon was still trying to use the example of the Morifio team to prevent Batuthorn from playing, but the fifteen people who came out of Batuttoon's team did not have him.It seems that these powerful warriors in the Church of the God of Nature are very measured.In the second game, it was white-hot as soon as it came up.The Knights, who watched the Knights for an hour off the court, not only mastered more rules, but even studied preliminary tactics.Attackers don't rush to catch up, and defenders don't run around and block their own players.Fifteen players on both sides played another role, and the attackers pursued, blocked, and blocked the opposing players.Defenders also run out early to respond, protect the ball carrier, and disrupt the opponent's view.The tactics are there, and the hand-to-hand combat is more intense, with players who crashed into the crowd, ball carriers who were pressed under a group of people and couldn't move, and offensive and defensive players on both sides who fought directly!
The throats were cracking, the feet were hurting, and the hands were red and swollen, but they still couldn't take a look off the court.When one of the teams scored, I don't know who suddenly threw out a handful of flowers, the petals drifted to the court with the wind, and the score of the call for help flew to the field to kiss, but a group of girls rushed into the arena excitedly, scared the handsome knight turned around and ran.More girls, and young people, rushed in, not just to the scoring team, but to their favorite players, because the players have daily duties, so maybe some of them have been planning for a long time.The game had to be suspended for fifteen minutes, and although some people complained, more people were laughing and blessings.Others took advantage of the opportunity to rush to the toilet or buy flowers.When the game started again, the slightly outer part of the field was surrounded by tentacles, and anyone who tried to punch the field would be stopped.In the second game, the Batu Thorn team won.In the third game, the Mombe team won.Fei Nong's team is very individual, but it is very lonely, and even there are people who grab the ball among themselves, the wolf clan should be very cooperative, I don't know why the team led by Fei Nong, the wolf clan, is so different.The game was suspended at noon and resumed at 1 p.m.The people were reluctant to disperse for a long time, and even organized themselves with acquaintances, leaving only a few of them to buy lunch, while most of the others stayed where they were.In the afternoon, the four teams continued to draw lots to decide their opponents, Alvilla vs.
Batutoon, and Mombe vs.
Hogan.In the first game, the Elvira team won.In the second game, it turned out to be the Hogan team winning?
The Batutoon team was completely pressed and beaten by the Alvera team, and the children in the orphanage were too inferior to the knights, and the victory or defeat was obvious.The match between the Mombe team and the Hogan team, everyone thought that it would be a copy of the previous two teams.The soldiers of the Mombe team said to be locals, but in fact, they are all Cavato, an elite mercenary race, and these people have grown up together with a tacit understanding.What about Hogan's?
Not only are they all patchwork, but most of them are civilians who are not good at fighting.Even if you are a merchant who has just arrived in the Ancient City of Hope, a few more glances will tell which side is more like the winner.However, in the latter game, the two teams fell into a stalemate from the beginning, and the Hogan team was a group of improvised motley soldiers, although they were inferior to the Mombe team in terms of teamwork and individual ability, but their tactics were used extremely well, and they even improvised hand gestures to talk in battle.In the end, they narrowly won by two points.In the final battle, the Alvilla team played against the Hogan team, and the Hogan team went through the last fight, and the physical strength decreased significantly, and the upset did not break out again, and the Alvera team won.It's a pity, when you have time, you can compete with us again.Elvera and Hogan shake hands.All right.Hogan scratched his head, although he won second place, luck accounted for a big factor, but this kind of game is really fun for everyone to play together.Let's get it!
Let's get it!
The prize for the champion is here!
Outside the venue, tentacles shook and let out loud shouts.The people are still in a frenzy, no one has moved at all, if it weren't for the tentacles in the middle of the field, with the fanaticism of the people, even if the team members are all awakened, some parts will be torn off.Helplessly, the tentacles could only build a flyover above people's heads and transport the prizes.A gust of wind blows, and the sweet aroma of cake wafts around.Didn't you say there were no prizes?
Maurifio looked at the huge cake and licked his lips, he had the same sweet tooth as his student Eldi.I didn't expect it to be so successful, so I thought I'd better prepare some.I just made it when you were competing, and it was blueberry jam, strawberry jam and rose jam.What was sent steadily was a huge three-tiered cream fruit cake, and when it fell, the cheers that had been thought to be the limit actually rose another level.
