Su Mo added: "Since it's a sports meet, there will naturally be prizes for those who get a good ranking, but they are basically prizes for the Master, such as a spot as the Master of the next Holy Grail War."
"After dealing with the evils of this world, the next Holy Grail War can be held normally. And if nothing unexpected happens, the interval will not be too long, about a few years, and the longest will only be ten years."
"I have currently integrated the resources of the three great families. In addition to the Tohsaka family, you can take the two places from the Matou family and the Einzbern family if you want."
Then, Su Mo also listed some other prizes, mainly some mysterious materials that are relatively rare in this world.
These things are very valuable in this world, but for Su Mo, it only takes a little magic power to generate them. It can be regarded as a consolation prize for the three people.
When Emiya Kiritsugu heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Then I will participate."
He mainly wants the next Master spot.
"I'll join in too."
Seeing this, Kenneth and Weber also expressed their opinions.
I originally thought that this trip would be in vain, but I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen.
As long as you participate in the so-called sports competition and win the top few places, you can get prizes without taking any risks!
Why not do this?
They have no reason to refuse.
…To be continued….
Chapter 143: The lively Nero Festival begins, contestants enter, competition rules
A beach near the port of Fuyuki City is deserted, overgrown with weeds, and even has some garbage washed up from the sea. Overall, it is a wilderness that no one would want to approach.
but.
It's just an appearance...at least for now.
After passing through a layer of illusion barrier, there was a completely different scene inside.
In the Roman Colosseum-style stadium that was built at some unknown time, the auditorium was packed with people. People were waving their hands, shaking flags and cheering. The sound was endless, like the waves outside, one after another. It was extremely lively with the sound of gongs and drums.
Of course, these audiences were fake, and were just created by Nero to create the atmosphere and background.
If you look closely, you will find that the movements and expressions of these audiences are somewhat mechanical and stiff.
But if you don't care whether it's true or not, this is still a grand scene that makes the participating contestants excited.
At least, Alice Nakiri and the other girls in the field really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
Of course, this is also because some of these fake audiences are real people.
They were all girls who received Su Mo's notification and came from the Dimension City to join in the fun.
At the same time, they also brought photographic equipment to record this unique event and broadcast it to the Dimension City.
As for the method of broadcasting, it is to open and close the dimensional door continuously, pull the optical fiber cable over, and allow the two sides to temporarily form information transmission.
Seeing this, the women decided it was even more impossible for them to embarrass themselves in front of their own people. They all held their heads high and showed high spirits.
As for the remaining three groups, Emiya Kiritsugu's group remained silent and unmoved.
Kayneth also stood proudly, with Diarmuid guarding him loyally.
The reason was simple: his fiancée Sora was invited and was also in the audience.
In addition to Sora, the three members of the Tōsaka family and Kotomine Risei were also there, as well as Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant, Hisau Maiya. Everyone who was related to this Holy Grail War was present.
Iskandar also came out of his depressed mood, and accepted the false cheers with a big smile. When the girls from the Dimension City took pictures of him, he cooperated and posed in a few poses to show off his muscles.
Only Weber felt extremely embarrassed. With his lack of experience and a weak heart, he could not stand such a scene. He wanted to escape, but was held tightly by Iskandar. He could only stay where he was and accept the attention.
At this time, Nero was on a high platform at the edge of the stadium, presiding over the opening ceremony of the Nero Festival with great emotion.
"Welcome everyone to the Nero Festival Holy Grail War Edition. Everyone already knows why there is this Nero Festival, so I will not repeat it. What I want to say is..."
"Tension, excitement, passion, harmony, and happiness are all the tenets of the Nero Festival. Let us forget all worries for a while, put aside our identities and barriers, and have fun to our heart's content!"
"I announce! The Nero Festival is now officially starting!!!"
"Oh!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fake audience cheered in response, and at the same time, exciting music played in the venue.
The atmosphere was created so well that even the few real audience members couldn't help but cheer along.
But after they shouted it out, many people realized it belatedly and became embarrassed.
Nero has a sweet voice and is quite energetic. His body language, strong personal charm and the environment make his speech fully arouse the emotions of most people.
If you are caught off guard and your willpower is not strong enough, it is easy to be emboldened and respond.
All I can say is that Nero was born to do this. She understands the atmosphere so well that her public speaking ability is comparable to that of a failed art student in this respect.
Soon, Nero began to introduce the seven groups of contestants.
"First of all, that's of course Yu, and Yu's Master, Alice Nakiri!"
The girls in the dimensional city also cooperated and turned the camera to Alice Nakiri in the scene.
At the same time, a close-up of Alice Nakiri appeared on the projection screen behind Nero.
Alice Nakiri also looked towards the camera, smiled and waved.
"Contestant Alice is a contestant from the organizer. She is a world-class professional chef, but don't underestimate her just because she is a cook. She is surprisingly strong and is proficient in both magic and martial arts."
"Come on, Alice! Let them see how good we cook!"
After Nero's introduction, Hinata Inui, who happened to be on her day off in the audience, held up a cheering board and cheered him on.
Seeing this, Alice Nakiri smiled and gave a thumbs-up in response.
After hearing this introduction, the three outsiders on the other side couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
What the hell? There is actually a master who was originally a cook?
It seems that the organizers are not serious at all.
All of a sudden, the three of them gained confidence.
What? You said Nero told us not to underestimate Alice Nakiri?
The organizers are just bragging, do you think they really believe it?
In their opinion, even if Alice Nakiri really had some skills, she was not that strong. The so-called strong was probably only compared with the chefs.
After all, human energy is limited. After mastering a skill and then developing across fields, the achievements you can make are also very limited.
Well, unless you are not doing your main job and just change your career.
At this time, Nero also introduced the next one.
"Next is the Archer team. This Master is still the organizer, a great magician with explosive strength and hobbies, Megumin!"
"And her Servant, the legendary hero, Arash!"
The camera also turned to Huihui at the same time, and this time she appeared with Arash.
However, since the members of the clan team did not come, no one supported her.
However, in the dimensional city, Darkness watched the broadcast and cheered for Huihui. After all, Huihui was from the same world as her, and Huihui was fighting on behalf of their world.
But unfortunately, Huihui is destined not to be able to see Darkness’s encouragement.
But this does not hinder Huihui's performance, that is, posing in front of the camera.
You know what, her posture is quite intimidating.
At least, the trio, whose confidence had just been boosted by Alice Nakiri, couldn't help but look a little serious when they saw this, and they all secretly wondered how powerful Huihui was.
But soon, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the introduction continues.
"Next is the Saber team, Yuuki Asuna and her Servant, Okita Souji!"
"Yuuki Asuna is an apprentice of Alice Nakiri, a dual disciple of cooking and martial arts. Her servant is a Heroic Spirit with a local bonus, so she should not be underestimated either."
"Damn it! Asuna-chan! You can do it!"
Hinatako Inui changed the cheering board and continued to cheer crazily for Asuna Yuuki.
Yuuki Asuna responded by waving her hand with a slightly awkward look.
Well, another cook, and even just an apprentice cook.
But before the trio thought that Su Mo had given up on treatment, they heard Nero continue to introduce.
"Next up is the organizer's favorite to win, the Berserker team, contestant Flora! And her Servant, Vlad III!"
"Flora is a True Ancestor-level vampire. She has been devoted to the study of magic and potions for many years. Her strength is not much worse than most Heroic Spirits. In addition, she has a vampire archduke with a very high affinity as a Servant. She is the strongest contender for the championship this time."
"Come on, Miss Second!" X4
Under the order of the maid Chang'an, the four ghost maids who had specially taken time out to come here also began to cheer for them.
When the trio heard this, their mood was like riding a roller coaster, and then it sank again in an instant.
Damn! No wonder the other three are a bit wet, it turns out they are lying in ambush here!
Grass! (a plant)
A true ancestor-level blood-sucking species, this is too much of a cheat!
As for the True Ancestors, each of them requires at least a team of hundreds of elite magicians from the top fighting faction to barely deal with them.
Putting this kind of monster into this game and letting it compete with them, isn't this too much of an honor for them?
Brother, that’s not necessary!
Kenneth, Weber, and even Emiya Kiritsugu, all looked at Flora, the seemingly harmless little loli, with horror.
Depend on!
This is even allowed to be played!
The other side has two heroes in one group. The difference in overall combat power is too big!
"Wait, isn't this unfair? She's so strong, how can we compete with her?"
Weber couldn't help but raise his hand in protest.
"Hey! You kid."
Iskandar couldn't stop him in time and could only shake his head helplessly.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, there wasn't much fairness in the world.
Moreover, if you are not happy with someone because he is strong and want to exclude him from the competition or restrict him, isn't this truly unfair to the strong?
Nero also replied: "Please rest assured, contestant. Although being strong is an advantage, it does not mean that you have to fight her. Strength cannot completely determine the outcome."
Seeing this, Weber didn't know what to say.
"Humph, what a disgrace."
Kenneth snorted coldly and gave Weber a look of contempt.
Although Weber was very dissatisfied with this, he dared not say anything. He turned his head away silently and ignored it.
Immediately, Nero continued to introduce the remaining trio.
"The next three contestants are the lucky ones chosen by the Greater Holy Grail. They have different backgrounds, come from different places, and have different wishes."
"Let us welcome the Lancer team, the genius professor from the Clock Tower, an outstanding representative of the new generation of magicians who has attracted much attention since childhood, and one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, Lord Kenneth."
"And his Servant, the chief warrior of the Irish Fianna Knights, who is praised as "unparalleled in the world" in Celtic mythology - "The Glorious Face" Diarmuid Odinar."
Kenneth immediately raised his head and chest, ready to accept everyone's admiration.
Well, mainly the gaze of his fiancée in the audience.
But unfortunately, Sora just glanced at him and stopped paying attention to him. Instead, he looked at Su Mo who was sitting in the special seat in the distance and was attracted by someone's damn charm.
· ·········Request flowers···· ·
But Kenneth was not discouraged, because Sora at least looked at him, which was a great encouragement to him.
I can only say that people who are infatuated to a certain extent are really no different from licking dogs...
