"Look, that's The Light Of Dawn!" someone shouted from the side of the road.
"Where? Where?"
"The one running in the first place!"
With the reminder of a sharp-eyed girl, a commotion broke out among the onlookers.
"It's really him! I thought I'd never see him again after I quit teaching. "
"Wow, he's looking at me!"
"Teacher Filin, come on!"
A tall, handsome man appeared at the end of the field of view. Although he looked a little tired, he still kept walking and firmly held the first place. What made everyone fall in love with him even more was that whenever someone cheered for him, he would try his best to smile back. When he met his former students, he would even wave at them. This amiable and gentle demeanor instantly captured the hearts of all his supporters.
Honey, who was also in the same line of work, saw all of this.
Filin Eltek, born in the Knight family, used to be an intermediate teacher in the Ministry of Education, and later transferred to the General Staff. He was known as The Light Of Dawn. "Hmm … If he wins the championship, what should I write?"
"Shocking! A man in Neverwinter makes thousands of women fall in love with him. What do you think? "
"Uh … are you asking me?" Vader, who was pedaling his bicycle, panted. "Isn't thousands a little too much?"
Facing this witch who looked and behaved like a little girl, he did not dare to look down on her. As a key figure in the Publicity Department, her immediate superior was the King of Graycastle, who had reached the peak of power at a young age. Moreover, it was said that she had a very close relationship with Her Excellency Vendy, the head of the Witch Union. If he treated such a witch like a little girl, he would definitely suffer in the end.
Vader, who had been in the low-level patrol team for several years, naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.
Therefore, when Honey came to him and asked for a ride to watch the whole competition from a close distance, he agreed without hesitation. Anyway, when Carter was not around, he would help with the police affairs, such as leading the team this time. It was no trouble at all for one more person.
Of course, other than Honey's background, there was another reason why he was so enthusiastic. If the Security Bureau wanted to achieve results and nip all the hidden dangers that threatened the safety of His Majesty and the kingdom in the bud, they had to obtain as much detailed information as possible, which was exactly what the other party was good at.
Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, it was necessary to befriend this witch.
"Don't worry too much about the details." Honey smacked her lips. "If you saw this title for the first time, would you want to read it immediately?"
"Yes," Vader replied honestly.
"That's good." The little girl whistled cheerfully.
At this moment, a different voice sounded from the crowd.
"Don't you think that the man behind Teacher Filin is also very … not bad?" A noblewoman covered her mouth and said.
"You noticed it too? I think he's much better looking than The Light Of Dawn. "Her words immediately caused a heated discussion among the people around her.
"I know him! The King's Chief Knight, Sir Carter Lannis! Look at the cloak on his back. There's the royal emblem on it! "
"I see. No wonder he's the Chief Knight!"
"But his expression is too cold. When he stares at us, it's like we owe him money …"
"Alas, you're still too young. This kind of talent is more charming!"
"Look, he's catching up!"
"Come on, Sir Knight —"
Carter Lannis was also born in the Knight Family. He used to belong to the Knight Regiment in King's City and later moved to Border Town with Prince Roland. He could be said to be one of the oldest founding heroes. He was agile and powerful. It was even said that he had the ability to compete with Extraordinary witches. He was also Scroll's favorite candidate for the championship.
Honey listened to the messages sent back by the birds while recording the game in her notebook.
As Carter continued to accelerate, the distance between the two gradually shortened, and soon they were running side by side.
The cheers had also turned from one-sided to mutual support.
It seemed that the previous title had to be changed again.
After thinking for a moment, Honey put down her pen in high spirits.
— "Whose Family Will the Flower Fall? The Love and Hatred Between Two Men."
…
Carter felt as if his lungs were burning.
In order to let May recognize him at first glance, he put on a bright ribbon and a cloak. However, at this moment, the originally incomparably light adornment was as heavy as a mountain. Especially when he was running against the wind, he even felt as if these things were pulling his body.
But he still did not want to take off the ornaments.
Because May had knitted it for him with her own hands.
Carter hoped to wear them to cross the finish line — before The Light Of Dawn.
Although Mey had never mentioned it to him, he had heard some old stories from the members of the troupe — before His Majesty moved to the Western Region, Filin had already been famous in Longsong. At that time, The Light Of Dawn and the Star of the Western Region were almost the envy of everyone. Everyone thought that they would be together, and his wife seemed to have fallen in love with Filin for a period of time. However, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Filin always liked Irene, a newcomer in the theater.
Although the matter was left unsettled in the end, Carter still had some resentment in his heart.
So what if he was The Light Of Dawn?
She only liked him because a better version of himself had not appeared yet.
He wanted to prove to those people that he was the most suitable person for Mey!
And the first thing he had to do was to beat Filin Eltek, who was also a Knight.
Carter gathered his strength, stared at the opponent who was less than half a body's length away, and quickened his pace again.
The viewing platform at the finish line gradually appeared in his field of vision.
It was time to decide the winner!
At this moment, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him —
Could someone catch up with him now?
How was that possible! After all, an hour after the start of the competition, he and Ferlin had already left everyone else far behind. Even if they wanted to save their strength, they should not have waited until now to exert their strength.
After all, sprinting consumed much more strength than running at a constant speed!
Carter looked back in surprise.
Wait … What was that?
They saw a strangely dressed man of a different race rushing towards them, and the distance between them was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Judging from his skin color and tattoos, he should be a Mojin Sand Man, but … what was up with the long ears on top of his head and the wagging tail behind him?
Could it be that he had obtained strength by imitating a beast's ritual?
This horrifying scene made Carter shiver all over. He felt as if he was being targeted by something terrible. He clenched his teeth and dashed toward the finish line!
Amid the thunderous cheers of the audience, the three of them crossed the finish line almost at the same time.
Did they … win?
Chief Knight panted and stopped after running for dozens of meters. He did not look at his opponent but looked straight at the top of the viewing platform.
King Roland Wimbledon also stood up at this time.
"Congratulations! Not only did you successfully complete the race, but you also achieved an excellent result!" His voice suddenly resounded over the Kingdom Avenue. "Although the race is not over yet, the top three have been born in front of everyone! They are — "
Carter could not help but swallow his saliva.
"The third place is Carter Lannis."
Hearing the result of the announcement, the Chief Knight closed his eyes unwillingly. Damn it, I'm still one step too late …
"The second place is Rohan Burnfire, a Mojin Sand Man!"
Roland paused for a moment. When the crowd quieted down, he continued loudly.
"The first one to reach the finish line is Sunflower from the Longsong Area! Give them a warm round of applause! "
"Uh … Who's that?"
Carter and the other two were stunned by the thunderous cheers of the audience.
On the other side, Honey had closed her notebook and jumped off the back seat of the bicycle. "Today's report is finally done. Thank you for your hard work."
"Have you decided on the title?" Vader asked curiously.
"Yes, that's right." Honey smiled. "Just write the result."
That was enough to attract attention.
