C110

In short, some of the most popular contestants were split into different groups, which was a common practice in previous congresses. After all, they still had to ensure that the competition would be entertaining, otherwise, if a few super experts were to fight it out with the remaining Golden Warrior, no one would agree to it.

In short, after about twenty days of screening, it finally produced the top ten rankings of this year's Demon Martial Competition. They were, respectively, Grand Princess Kathleen from the Klein Royal Family, Princess Garner from the Holy See, Vittlan from Klein, Dunstan from the Kaiser Magic Academy, Prince Fitz from the Loke Kingdom, Water Mage Jennifer from the Tollas Neutral Alliance, Summoner Reyktha from the Beast Race, Vivian from Kaiser, and two mysterious competitors. One was the little girl, Mira, and the other was Marlene, who had never revealed her true face.

No matter if you are a Bronze or a Gold Warrior, a Magic Scholar or a Great Magister, all of them were frozen into a block of ice in the blink of an eye. Without exception, they were all tested repeatedly. After dozens of games, none of them lost. Right now, the odds against Mira in the black market had already reached a ratio of one to two hundred. This meant that as long as Mira lost one match, the person who bet on her losing would receive two hundred times the amount of money. But even so, no one was willing to bet that Mila would lose. That was because, until now, no one had been able to threaten the mysterious girl's position.

When Werther found out about this, he smiled wryly. Even if the odds became one or two thousand, he didn't care at all. Right now, all he wanted to do was to win second place and get the Sword of Darkness in his hands. After the top ten appeared, the Great Games arranged themselves for the final battle at the first possible moment and confirmed the contestants' respective opponents. This time, the contestants didn't draw their own lots, but were directly chosen by the host. The top ten were divided into five groups, and the winners would enter the top three.

When the final result was announced, it attracted quite a bit of discussion. The final five groups that the mysterious swordswoman Marlene had to face the kingdom of Loke, Prince Fitz, the Grand Princess Kathleen, and the water mage Jennifer had to face off against the beast summoner Rexar, Werther against the Kaiser and the thunder mage Dunstan, and Vivian against the mysterious girl, Mira. According to the rules of the previous Great Games, the victors of the group five would be split into two groups to fight each other. There would be one empty group, and the final three victors would then be decided by using the roving system to fight for the position of first place.

Werther was very satisfied with this arrangement. In his plan, he originally wanted to meet up with this Lightning Element Mage. He had a bold idea; he needed the assistance of this rare Lightning Element Mage. For this, Werther was very much looking forward to the match between Mira and Vivian. What Mira displayed now were the methods of ice magic, and Vivian happened to be an ice mage as well. Her mentor was also an ice Grand Magus.

Who would've thought that on the day of the finals, a piece of shocking news would suddenly break out? Kaiser's player Vivian actually voluntarily gave up and Mira won without a fight. At this moment, many people were regretting not being able to personally witness a civil war between Ice Mages. On the other hand, the reaction of the black market was relatively flat. No one expected Vivian to be able to defeat Mira in a fit of rage.

Werther also went to the tournament field, but when he received such a news, he could only reply gloomily. However, he did not think highly of Miss Vivian and believed that the final victor would still be Mira. However, he hoped that by relying on a single match, he would be able to understand how Mira fought, how she used her strength, and so on. Who knew that someone would report that Miss Vivian and Miss Sophia had come together to visit the Count as soon as they got home? They were chatting with the Count in the living room. James ordered Werther to attend to him.

Werther was slightly stunned. These two women had come to his home, why would he go to join the liveliness? But since his father was alive, he had no choice but to go. After tidying up his appearance, he walked towards the living room. "Sophia is my best friend. I heard that the Count is also a good friend of hers, so I came to visit her," said Vivian in a gentle voice. I hope the Count doesn't think I'm rude. "

James' slightly magnetic voice rang out, "Where is it? Miss Vivian is willing to come and leave. I'm not happy at all. I admire Mr. Howard for all his life's work for Caesar. " Vivian sighed and said, "What do you mean by 'outstanding contribution'? My grandpa is currently at home and even the Royal Family who has been selling their lives is beginning to suspect him." The old family was very sad, and several times I saw him cry. "Ah, Monsieur le Comte, I am only casually saying these words. Please don't …"

James said, "Don't worry, Miss Vivian. I know my limits. These words will definitely not spread out." Vivian remained silent, as if blaming herself for her recklessness. Sophia's voice rang out, "James, why isn't that little fellow Werther coming over yet?" It was to smooth things over for Vivian. Werther was very depressed outside the door. "How much older are you than me?" and he actually pretends to be a senior. " He coughed lightly, "Father, I'm here." He pushed the door open and entered.

Aside from the three of them, Hobbes was in the living room. Sophia sat with Vivian. James sat on the main seat and smiled when he saw his son, "Werther is here." Miss Vivian came to see you. " Vivian sat with her head down, looking as ladylike as she could ever be. The muscles on Werther's face twitched. He reluctantly said, "Hello, Miss Vivian." Vivian covered her lips with a small fan and smiled. "Hello, Werther. I saw you at Sophia's house last time. My guards seem to be very interested in you." It just so happens that my matches are all over today, so I came with your Aunt Sofia to visit you. " Sophia hit her lightly and said, "He calls you 'Miss' and me 'Auntie'. Do you look younger than me? "

Vivian glanced at James and smiled, "Who told you to fall in love with her? Isn't there nothing that can be done about that child?" Sophia blushed deeply when she said that. James felt extremely awkward. Luckily, Vivian changed the topic. "Werther, I heard your garden is very beautiful, why don't you accompany me for a walk?" Without waiting for Werther's reply, she stood up, grabbed his arm, and gave Sophia a a look of effort. She almost forcefully pulled him out of the living room.

Werther was depressed, but he didn't dare disobey, and led Vivian into the garden. Vivian smiled and said, "Look, the reason I specially pulled you out is to create a chance for Sophia and the others. Don't put on a face, alright?" Werther forced a smile and said, "Miss Vivian, why are you acting so ladylike in front of others? Aren't you afraid that I'll spread these flaws of yours?" Vivian pursed her lips and chuckled, revealing two rows of teeth that resembled braids. "I'm not afraid!" You've already said it before, I'm such a lady in front of others. Am I really not good enough to be casual in front of you? Besides, if you go out and speak ill of me, I'll be glad to hear it! "

Werther blurted out, "Is it because of that Karov?" Vivian was stunned. "You know about it too?" He nodded, "That's right, it's because of that wise crown prince!" Vivian's face darkened. "Do you know that I am the granddaughter of Prime Minister Kaiser? I am a daughter born to be." Apart from the royal family, I am of noble birth. "My clan has existed in the Kaiser Empire for more than seven hundred years, and all of my ancestors were pillars of the Kaiser Empire. It can be said that without the tremendous support of our Howard clan, Kaiser would never have reached his current state."

"In order to maintain the prosperity of our family, each generation must have a boy to inherit the title, but unfortunately. My father was an infatuated person. After he married my mother, he refused to marry again. Even if my grandfather used all sorts of methods to force him, he still didn't succeed. After that, my birth temporarily resolved the conflict between father and son. However, something even more unfortunate happened. My mother lost her life in an accident, and what followed was my father's increasingly depressed state. Grandfather used countless methods to save his father from the shadow of his mother's death, but none of them succeeded. Finally, three years after his mother's death, his father ended his own life. "

When talking about her parents' death, Vivian's exquisite face showed traces of helplessness and hesitation. There was also an unforgettable sadness, causing Werther's heart to ache inexplicably. Vivian took a breath and continued, "After his parents died, his grandfather suffered a huge blow and almost collapsed. During that time, he stopped all his government activities and shut himself up at home all day. He didn't even bother to pay attention to his Majesty's summons. If he didn't have to take care of me, I'm afraid he would have taken the same route, right? "

"Ever since I was young, I knew that the Howard family had no male heirs, and could only rely on me to support them. Thus, I forced myself to constantly study all kinds of knowledge, including government affairs, economy, finance, etiquette, as well as magic and qi. Did you know that from the age of seven until now, I was only able to sleep for three hours every day? The rest of the time was spent in constant study and magical meditation. Because I know that if I am unable to support the Howard family, then this ancient family that has existed for seven hundred years will be completely removed from the Grace Mainland and Kaiser! "
