"Idolatry" existed in any era and any place. The drivers of the Construct Puppets were one of the most popular targets of the civilians in Lasiman. After all, apart from the "Crown of Late Autumn" event, there were other competitions in Lasiman every year. Many of the Construct Puppets had become "celebrities" due to their impressive achievements and had a large number of fans.
Just like now, in the arena of Moffett Academy, countless spectators were holding wooden signs with the names of their idols, eagerly waiting for the final battle of this triennial competition.
The length of the last three laps of the arena was about five kilometers. It had always been the final sprint of the contestants and the final battle. However, this competition was at least two and a half hours long. Therefore, one and a half hours after the start of the competition, the spectators were divided into different camps, intensely discussing topics such as which contestant would win the championship.
But the sudden appearance of the Floating-Space Tower above everyone's head made the spectators a little confused.
"What's going on? Why is the Floating-Space Tower here? "
"Could it be that someone finished the whole race so quickly?"
"Impossible, no matter how fast he is, it's impossible to be twice as fast. It's already good enough to beat the record by a few minutes. Wait, what's that!?"
When Roddy's "Firebolt" sped up and rushed into the arena, the entire audience was collectively stunned for a few seconds.
The huge body of the "Construct Puppet" had already been deeply engraved in people's hearts. Compared to the "Firebolt", the image of the "Firebolt" was too subversive. So much so that when Roddy finished the first lap skillfully, most of the people in the arena still did not understand what it meant.
Originally, there should have been a real-time commentator in the arena to explain the current "stalemate", but until Roddy finished the second lap, a few halting words of explanation came from the arena.
"Now, erm, I mean, the contestant who is currently in the final sprint is contestant Roddy from the Kingdom of Karen! His "Firebolt" lives up to its name. Currently, erm, he has already started the final sprint of 300 meters … Oh my god, he is still accelerating. Alright, let us congratulate contestant Roddy for winning the "Duriel Ring Rally"! His time is … erm … 1 hour 17 minutes 30 seconds! It's over an hour faster than our previous record! "
The commentating mage simply could not adapt to Roddy's speed. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that the "Fire Arrow" had already crossed the finish line. However, the most embarrassing thing was … after hearing Roddy's final result, not a single cheer could be heard from the audience.
That was because they did not believe that Rody had finished the race. In their eyes, it was more like a mascot that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Contestant Roddy of the Kingdom of Karen is the champion of this year's Duriel Ring Rally. The Lassiman Parliament hereby confirms that the result is valid."
Just when the audience was silent, President Jeremy's voice came from the Floating-Space Tower, and his words directly ignited the entire venue. Almost everyone was loudly asking "what the hell happened", and then it gradually turned into a large number of boos …
Regardless of whether the people of Lassiman believed the results of the competition, the representatives of various countries and the mages of the Parliament on the floating space tower had witnessed the entire competition. They no longer doubted whether Roddy had cheated or not. Right now, they only wanted to leave the floating space tower immediately and rush over to take a closer look at the "Fire Arrow"!
Meanwhile, Doris, who was sitting in the corner, felt extremely complicated. Because when Roddy had won the race with absolute strength, Miranda and Jill almost immediately "congratulated" her —
"Who would've thought, Doris, you're so lucky to be able to settle such a secretive fellow!"
"Yes, yes, when can you ask him out so that we can meet him together?"
The two who had always laughed at her before were now unable to conceal their jealousy. Because even an idiot could see that Roddy had successfully attracted the attention of the entire Parliament through this competition, and his future was limitless.
And Doris, who had "befriended" him in advance, would definitely be the biggest beneficiary!
After all, "icing on the cake" and "providing timely help" could not be mentioned in the same breath. To put it bluntly, as long as Doris put in a little more effort in bed, wouldn't Roddy, who had been seduced, give up everything? Not only would they be able to get their hands on the "Holy Beast", they might even be able to open up a brand new trade route for Eseka and earn more gold coins …
All the credit would go to Doris. Miranda and Jill couldn't help but feel sour just thinking about it. However, they also had some other thoughts in their hearts: Why can't we fight for a fellow like Roddy who gets aroused whenever he sees a woman? When it came to seducing people, none of the Thukk chiefs felt that they were worse than anyone else!
However, Doris was not thinking about this at the moment. She was just staring blankly at Roddy's figure, who was leaning against the back of the chair and drinking water in the distance.
As the Thukk who had the most contact with Roddy, she suddenly felt uncertain — how many things were hidden behind this man? Why did a man who could not wait to boast that he was the number one in the world never mention that he had such a powerful vehicle puppet?
"Doris, what are you waiting for?"
Evelyn's voice interrupted her thoughts. The chief raised her hand and pointed in the air. "Hurry up and deal with him! The entire council has their eyes on him now. If you can't seize the opportunity before those mages throw out all kinds of bait, who knows if you can still ask him out in the future? "
"I … I understand, I'll go now!"
Doris looked at the mages around her who could not wait to fly down right now and instantly felt a lot of pressure. The thoughts in her mind completely disappeared — no matter what Roddy was hiding, it was a sure thing that she could control him anyway. What else was there to worry about?
President Jeremy controlled the floating space tower to descend. After a short tremor, the passage to leave the auditorium was set up. The councilors and deans of the various academies did not care about their image at this moment. One by one, they actually rushed to the only exit. Some even cast the "Levitation Spell" and leaped from the side!
They no longer cared about who would get the second place, because all the vehicle puppets had become trash in front of the "Firebolt".
Seeing this, President Jeremy tried to maintain order. However, before they could rush over to surround the "Firebolt", Roddy, who had just crossed the finish line, started the car again. After saying something to the referee who was recording the result, he directly drove towards the exit of the arena in the distance. As he was too fast, the mages at the back could not even stop him in time. They could only watch helplessly as he disappeared into the alley at the end of their sight along with the dust he kicked up …
"You — Why did you let him go?!"
"Stanley, what did he say to you before he left?"
The crowd of councilors who surrounded him made the referee named Stanley instantly cautious. He wanted to answer this question, but when he thought of Roddy's words, he wanted to say something but hesitated. The councilors who could not get an answer were instantly angry. After a series of threats, they finally understood what Roddy had said.
