Chapter 1842: I Know You Are Lusting After My Drumstick
The crowd fell into complete silence, and everyone was looking at the king, who was gradually standing up on the screen.
King Andre had been on the throne for decades, and his accomplishments were outstanding. The empire was well-governed and powerful, and its people led a good life, so he was well-loved by his people.
Andre was very satisfied with how the people looked at him. He always enjoyed his people’s loving gaze, which meant he still had everything, and he was still that benevolent ruler loved by all.
Of course, it would be even better if there were all the various races under the stage now.
Andre looked at all the magic casters lining up neatly below the stage, and said in a booming voice, “Magic casters of the empire, I have seen magic casters after magic casters ascend the platform, and become the support of the empire and legends of the magic casters’ world.
“I believe the next legend will be among you all.
“For the glory of the magic casters!
“For the glory of the empire!
“Fight with all your might!
“I will be here to witness your legend!”
“His Majesty, the King!”
“His Majesty, the King!”
“His Majesty, the King!!!”
Loud cheers erupted, and a glow appeared in all the magic casters’ eyes.
“Good luck to all of you.” Andre smiled and sat back down in his seat.
“Now, let’s invite Master Krassu to open the Magic Caster Tournament!” the magic caster who was the emcee loudly declared after waiting for the cheers to die down.
Everyone turned to look at Krassu at the same time.
Krassu—the Lord of Fire, the legend of the magic casters, the founder of the Magus Tower, the guiding light for the rise of the empire’s magic casters, the starter of the Magic Caster Tournament, and the idol of the majority of the Roth Empire’s magic casters!
One could say that he was the one who’d created the current magic casters who were on par with the knights.
Under the heated gazes, Krassu stood up slowly, and went to the stage.
“I’m very gratified to stand here again to look at all of you, young and energetic youngsters, the future pillars of the magic caster world.” Krassu looked at the magic casters under the stage with an emotional smile.
“Krassu!”
“Krassu!!!”
A burst of cheers immediately erupted from the crowd.
While Krassu was speaking in the front, Vanessa inched towards Amy, and whispered, “Little Amy, your pigtails are so pretty today.”
Amy bit into the drumstick, and looked up at Vanessa. “Big Sister Vanessa, I know you are lusting after my drumstick.”
“Erm…” Vanessa gulped with a slightly embarrassed expression. She was the empire’s princess, after all. Although she also had food prepared in front of her, she felt embarrassed to munch on a drumstick in public like Amy.
Although it would definitely taste fantastic, it definitely wouldn’t be graceful enough.
I really miss the time when I was young. People would say that I was cute even when I grabbed a drumstick and munched on it…?Vanessa sighed inwardly. She missed the time when she took part in the Magic Caster Tournament as a young child. She was also munching away the whole time like Amy.
“Big Sister Vanessa, if you are not going to eat the drumstick in front of you, can you pass it to me?” Amy quickly finished her drumstick, and was already after the drumstick in front of Vanessa.
“This…” Vanessa was a little hesitant. Although she couldn’t eat it now, she was saving it for after the tournament. This drumstick looked delicious, and watching Amy eat it made it look even more delicious.
“I’ll return two beggar’s chickens to you when you come to Chaos City again,” Amy said seriously.
“Deal!” Vanessa immediately gave the whole plate of chicken drumsticks to Amy.
No matter how delicious this drumstick was, it would never be as delicious as Boss Mag’s beggar’s chicken. Regardless of how she looked at it, she would have a good deal.
A good chowhound could never stand scrumptious food getting cold in front of her.
Although the queen was maintaining her demure attitude, she smiled when she saw Vanessa and Amy’s interaction. “This little girl is so cute.”
Vanessa had been telling her many things about Chaos City for the past few days, and she talked about Mamy Restaurant the most. This lass seemed to be enchanted by that restaurant. That was why she was nagging about going to Chaos City daily.
And the restaurant’s boss’ daughter, who was also Master Krassu’s disciple, was this adorable little half-elf girl next to her.
“Are you sure that Krassu’s disciple is going to take part in this year’s tournament?” Richard secretly asked Brent with transaudient communication.
“Yes. One of the reasons that he agreed to come to the Magic Caster Tournament was to let his disciple participate in it. Given his showy character, he would definitely let his disciple take part in the youth category to get the top spot.” Brent nodded, and revealed a conniving smile. “But don’t worry, President, I’ve found a young genius, Kassadin, from the Fuller Family. He has just broken through the 7th-tier. He’s been very well-hidden by the Fuller Family, and he intends to set the world on fire at the Magic Caster Tournament. I promised to take him in as my disciple, and lowered his age by five years so that he could take part in the youth category and defeat her.”
“Excellent.” Richard looked at Krassu’s back and smiled.
He was already sick of Krassu’s smug look. He hoped to see disappointment on his face today.
“We, magic casters, should strengthen ourselves to protect our empire, our people, and the weak and defenseless. I hope all of you will remember this after you become the empire’s pillars in the future.
“I declare that this year’s Magic Caster Tournament is officially opened!” Krassu declared loudly.
Claps and cheers erupted instantly.
The magic casters were very enthusiastic. They wanted to prove themselves in the Magic Caster Tournament.
Krassu returned to his seat near Amy, who had just started munching on another little drumstick, and indulgently asked, “Are you full, Little Amy?”
“Yes, almost.” Amy nodded before taking another bite.
“Come, this is your contestant’s identification tag. Whoever draws your number, go fight it out with him or her.” Krassu tied a black wooden tag with a number carved into it onto Amy’s belt.
“Yup.” Amy nodded, not caring at all.
That magic caster in the long black robes levitated again, and loudly said, “The Magic Caster Tournament officially starts now!
“The contestants from both the magic caster category and the youth category will draw lots to decide their opponents. Therefore, all the contestants will partake in eight duels continuously to decide the top 32!
“The numbers before 2050 of the magic caster category, you will remain standing where you are, while the contestants from 2050 onwards will randomly grab the flying balls, and the number shown after the flying ball explodes will be your opponent!
“The numbers before 500 of the youth category, you will remain standing where you are, while you contestants from 500 onwards will randomly grab the flying balls to decide your opponent!”
The atmosphere became tense immediately, and everyone turned to look at that giant ball at the edge of the platform. Thousands of number tags that were engulfed by bubbles were ready to go.
