Chapter 403: This was also a business opportunity
The noble young masters and ladies stood by the playground for a few minutes and immediately became interested in this kind of exercise.
"What's this?" a noble asked.
A student from a technical school replied, "this is called football. It was invented by Godfather."
The noble young masters said, "I've watched it for a while and found that this kind of game can only be done by kicking with your feet?"
"Yes!" the student replied. "You can touch the ball with your feet, head, and body, but you can't touch it with your hands, magic, fighting skills, etc. you can get a score by making the ball enter the goal."
"It seems to be very interesting!" the noble young masters were looking for fun. When they encountered something interesting, of course they wanted to get involved. "Can we join them?"
The students from the technical school smiled and said, "they are about to finish this round. After that, they will go to class. When the playground is free, you can play. But there should be eleven people in a team. Do you have so many people?"
"Of course!" several noble young masters started to prepare their team immediately. Not long after, the two teams consisted of twenty-two people. Several smart young masters knew at a glance that it was a game of physical fitness. They secretly mixed several strong guards in their own team, ready to ride on their coattails.
However, the men on the other side was not stupid. He immediately picked out the guards and said, "Hey, this is a competition between the nobles. Don't lower your identity by sending some guards in."
The ladies frowned in disgust and said, "you bad boys, what's the fun of this game of crawling and rolling on the mud?"
"What the hell do you women know? This game is obviously much more interesting than fencing and riding a horse."
"That's right. You just stand aside and watch."
"Hey, there's a man over there whose figure is obviously supermodel. Did he get a bodyguard in again?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Look at his face clearly. This supermodel is Kante!"
"It's Kante?" the students suddenly found that in this kind of game, Kante was a golden leg.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
Kante chuckled and said, "I'm a little brother in playing magic, but you are both younger brothers playing football."
Marian suddenly woke up. "Gambling!"
"Yes," Robb said with a smile. "Once a gamble is formed, what will happen next?"
Marian thought for a while and said, "then someone will sit in his seat while spreading to the general public, and the audience will soar."
"Haha, you're so smart. No wonder you're the daughter of a merchant," Robb said with a smile. "I think you already known how to do business next."
Marian certainly had some clues. In her opinion, this matter might develop into a large-scale entertainment project like a "duel".
In ancient times, the duel was basically like this. First, the nobles prepared powerful warriors to fight with each other. The winner would get money and reputation. The organizers of the competition attracted a large number of nobles and even ordinary people to watch the competition. They collected ticket money from them, opened the stock market and made huge profits from it.
The only thing Marian didn't know was whether the project called football could attract people's attention like a duel.
Robb smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that it won't be popular, right?"
Marian nodded and said, "after all, though this is very interesting, it seems to be a little less exciting."
Robb smiled and said, "although duels are wonderful, it is too ferocious. It should be prohibited now, right?"
Marian nodded and said, "according to the magic calendar, battles have been prohibited for more than 500 years. Because of bloodiness and cruelty, the arena has been abandoned for eight hundred years."
"Eight hundred years? It's really been a long time," Robb said with a smile. "But this football is not cruel at all. It can only be regarded as sports. I think the queen will not forbid it, and even promote it. As long as the upper-class members like it, there is no reason for the lower-class people not to follow it. At that time, it will be very popular."
Marian was interested in the game.
The other girls had gone to the playground to have a rest, but she stood there watching the boys' competition with interest. She saw the noble young masters playing around. Sure enough, they kept changing nobility and guards. Not long after, even Kante had volunteered to leave. After all, he was also a noble, and didn't want to play with a group of guards.
Eleven guards VS eleven guards!
At this moment, the competition became more intense, and the physical confrontation became more intense. The atmosphere of the battle spread, and the ball was kicked fiercely.
