I'm really a crispy French

A group of people leaned over, looked at them, and started counting subconsciously—although the night school was not opened, the workers in the textile factory slowly learned to count at work.

后来跑来数的人就越来越多,蹲着的，站着的,靠着树的,撑在别人肩膀上的：“45、46……97、98……120四、120五……190八、190九！啊呀！”

It was broken, and regret appeared on everyone's faces.Leon smiled at Eldy, then tossed the rope to the nearest young worker.The worker took the rope, and immediately jumped up amidst the excited laughter of the others: "Look at me jumping a thousand—ah!"

In the first jump, the rope caught his leg. If he hadn't been supported by a friend he knew, he would have fallen face down.

In less than three days, the rope skipping game became popular all over Hope Village. People used various ropes to jump, some were easy to use, and some could only be slowly swayed to the feet and then jumped over. What kind of rope makes everyone play various tricks.

After another three days, the civic square was established—much larger than the small square in front of the village hall, with a big tree planted in the center, flowers planted around it, and many small saplings.In addition, there are places that look a little bald, and they are all ready to build fountains.

On the first day when the square was established, Leon pulled away the main management personnel of Hope Village and pulled them to jump a long rope. The two tentacles were swinging ropes. First, they jumped one by one, and then crossed each other on the left and right. Jump, and then everyone jumps in and everyone jumps together...

The rhythmic cheers of the onlookers never stopped. After Leon and the others finished dancing, they sent out ten long ropes on the spot. Immediately, some people organized and had fun.The whole square is full of people jumping and laughing.

"This game is good, but it's not enough." On the way back, Batu Ton came over and said.

"I know, and there are more." Leon certainly knew that the game of skipping rope was too bland, and they would lose interest in a short time. "I've been letting people do the ball recently."

There are leather that looks like rubber, and alchemy materials that are very close to plastic. The new orphanage children are also good at alchemy. The characteristics of ball games such as football, basketball, rugby, table tennis, and badminton. Ang knew something, and studying these balls was their first task.

"I've heard that, but ball games are too elegant and aristocratic, and require too much space, and it's too difficult for ordinary people to learn." There are also ball games in this world, which are close to polo, croquet and golf , but these movements have not become more and more simplified after a long period of development, but have become more and more cumbersome.They become a status symbol rather than a fun game.There are so many rules that even the real nobles can't remember, so the nobles themselves don't like to play.

"Please rest assured, the sports I choose are all suitable for civilians."

The first thing Leon confirmed to be usable turned out to be rugby.However, the requirements for rugby are indeed the lowest. The shape of the olive is solid, with a certain degree of elasticity but not enough to be patted, and the surface is not too smooth but not very rough—this is the rugby in Leon’s mind. However, he felt that this ball, as well as the rugby rules he knew, must be different from the real rugby game on the other side of the earth, because it seemed to be the group game he was least familiar with.

But that’s okay, it can be localized!He called Morifio and the leading knights over, Hogan, Batu Torn, and even Mombe, who had no job, also followed.

"Are you going to let him go?" Eldy asked in a low voice, of course he was Mombe.

Although Leon also had some complaints about Mombe, he still didn't push him away: "If he learns football, he can learn it. Maybe he can play in inter-city leagues in the future."

Eldi doesn't quite understand the "inter-city league", because there are no large-scale sports events in this world.But if he doesn't understand something, he won't comment on it, and he can ask Leon in private.

Everyone sat down, Leon took out the rugby, and he also used a few large pieces of paper to draw a schematic diagram of the game. After Leon finished speaking, he drank his saliva and asked, "Any questions?"

Everyone looked at the piece of paper with a bit of bewilderment on their faces.Mombe raised his hand first: "Why did you grab that ball? What does it mean when the ball is made like that? What can the winning side get?"

"The ball is made like this for easy handling." Leon stood up and held the rugby on his arm. "As an adult, you can just hold the ball and run like this. This kind of game itself is for entertainment. If the winning side is Organized games so they get money, prizes and honors."

"Isn't this game related to your evacuation in Diller City? Rugby represents the heads of demons, one team is demons, and the other team is humans."

The corner of Leon's mouth twitched, feeling that this guy was finding fault.However, he found that others were seriously thinking about this issue.

"In that case, if the Demon team wins, it will be a big blow to the audience, right?" Morifio said, "Should both teams represent human beings? Rugby is the hope of survival. The person who wins in the end is Those who survived."

"I think it's best that the two teams are demons. The football is the head of a human, or it represents the city of Dillier. After all, the city was destroyed in the end." The gentle-looking wolf Finon really likes this kind of bloody thing.

"It's all demons that will lead to demon worship. You look like a smart man, Finon, so please use your brain more." The dwarf's copper hammer is still murmuring, "Both teams represent human beings, and football is the god of nature. The seed of blessing? It does look like a seed. Moreover, our Church of the God of Nature really lacks a game of this church."

"That's a good proposal, I agree." "Second." "Agreed." "Hmph, well, I agree."—The last one was Finon.

After agreeing, everyone looked at Leon, and Leon looked at them for a while: "Then?"

Morifio: "We're fine."

Leon: ...

I'm here to ask you to localize and improve rugby.Then the improvement you gave me was to discuss for a long time what the two teams represent and what rugby represents, and then there is no more?Did you say that the Church of the God of Nature is very pragmatic?

Leon finally understands why there are so many messy rules in ball games in this world, because they are not a sport, but a ritual, or even a religious activity.

"Okay then, let's go and play."

"It's not necessary. We all have jobs." Of course it was Morifeo who didn't give Leon face.

"It is necessary. Everyone present, please use the fastest speed to pull up a team of 20 people, 15 people are the official players, and [-] people are substitutes. We are going to draw lots."

"Okay, okay." Not giving face is not giving face, but Morifeo also knew that when Leon became stubborn, it was best to listen to him.Everyone looked at each other. Anyway, they just played with the children for a while, throwing today's time into it at most.

Even if it was not voluntary, but after agreeing to Leon, everyone acted very quickly and no one was procrastinating—thanks to the fact that a lot of people have come here recently, otherwise more than 100 people would have to be drawn to play the game. For this Xiaopo village, the pressure is also huge.

"Are you going to find someone?" They all acted, and Leon asked him when he saw that Eldi was still by his side.

"No." Eldi shook his head, "My prestige is not enough, and I can't pull out a team for the time being." He is still young, although he is working hard to grow up, but it will take at least five or six years before he can truly own himself confidant.

"I can borrow it from you." Leon snapped his fingers, and a group of tentacles jumped out, swaying around him and Eldi "cuckoo cluck".

"Hahaha, the [-] people you promised, the [-] tentacles are also one person." Eldy laughed, and a tentacle came over and rubbed against his cheek - the red sandwiched tentacles looked cold and slippery They are slippery, but only those who touch them know that they are warm, just like human skin, and there is no strange feeling at all.

The two played around for a while, and today they decided to take a vacation. The first batch of orphans can already sit in the village hall. Although they can only hear some civil cases at this stage, it also saves the two of them from having to spend time together. Just sit there for a day.The criminal cases are concentrated, and the main thing is to go to Erdi once a week.

After more than an hour, everyone came back with their teams one after another.Morifeo, Finon, Elvira, and Brass Hammer are from the knights who are on vacation today, Mombe is from the local warriors, and Hogan brought more mixed people. There are knights and orphans. , Batu Ton brought the orphans.

Everyone brought awakened ones, including the orphans in Batu Ton and Hogan's team—although they wanted orphans who had nowhere to go after they reached adulthood, among the first few batches of orphans who came, the awakened The proportion is still quite a lot.

In addition to them, there are also many people who are on vacation. Anyway, they are either sleeping in the dormitory, or training as usual, or eating in restaurants. There is really no entertainment. Why don't you come and see this scene A ball game hosted by the head of their Xiaopo village.

"Originally, the round-robin system is more suitable, but everyone is just to get familiar with the game method, and there is not enough time for the game, so we use the elimination system this time. Is there a problem?" Leon said when he took out the prepared props and asked everyone to draw lots. The captain expressed no opinion.

"Okay, let's start drawing lots."

The result was Elvira vs. Morifio, Finon vs. Mumbe, Batu Tone vs. Brass Hammer, and Hogan got a lucky bye.

Hogan cheered happily: "Yeah!!!" Seeing him like this, everyone who had been indifferent before finally raised their spirits. The game is to be played seriously to be happy.

The venue of the competition was not in the Civic Square, nor in the martial arts field, but in an open space next to the barracks. The tentacles had already pulled out the overgrown weeds, cleared away the dangerous snakes, and the voles and hares had dug them up. The pit, and various symbols have been drawn.Leon is really the least familiar with the rules of rugby. He doesn't even know how big the field is, so he can only follow his feeling.

And really can't draw the field too small, otherwise the Awakened will score with a throw at the center line, then it's not rugby, but a pitching game.

Players from the two teams came over to listen to Leon's rules: "You cannot kick the ball with your feet, but you can throw it. During the game, you cannot use grudges, magic, divine power or any unnatural power. You cannot beat the opposing player, and you cannot use your feet." Tripping each other. You can collide, you can hug your waist or legs, you can pin people down. Whoever brings the ball to the scoring line first gets a point."

This is all the rules Leon knows about rugby. He doesn't know right or wrong, but the rules must be seriously lacking.He wanted someone else to complete it for him, but... let's just play it.

People on both sides were caught up in a daze.

"The captains of the two teams come to guess coins!" Leon stood on the sidelines, blowing his whistle.

Until Morifio and Elvira guessed the coin, no matter the players, those waiting to play, or the people watching the excitement, they didn't take this game too seriously.

On the court, the knights wore ordinary cotton clothes, with cotton belts of different colors on their arms to distinguish friend from foe.At the beginning, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces, their tossing movements were soft, and their collisions were just playful.But after all, it is a competitive game. Eldy will hold the board to report the time every 5 minutes, and Leon's tentacles will twist his body around the field to set up the score. The changes in the score became more serious each time.

In the beginning, the Elvira team was behind, so their sense of urgency increased faster and they followed up seriously.

The indifferent smiles on the faces of the team members turned serious, the throwing movements became more powerful, and the gunpowder smell of the collision became stronger.

"Ah—" A team member was knocked and flew out, and he could see the sweat he shed when he flew out.But no one cared about him, and he just rolled over and stood up, continuing to run.

The increase in the temperature of the game on the court drove the people off the court, and people began to cheer for the people and teams they supported.The chaotic voices here also began to attract more people, and the surroundings of the stadium became more and more lively, and some people even set up a gambling table—then they were taken away by the vacationing knights with the dealer's bet...

In the final result, the Morifio team lost and the Elvira team won.The players recruited by Elvira entered the state of competition earlier than the players of Morifio, and when the Cavaliers of the Morifio team also became urgent and wanted to catch up, it was already too late.

As soon as they came down, Finon and Mombe, Batu Torn and Tonghammer, needless to say, these four teams went to the running field very actively, and then they were all blasted down by Leon (tentacles)...

"Guess the coin!" Guess the coin if something is unresolved, if it fails once, it will be twice, or three times?

Guessed wrong every time and lost twice in a row Finon and Mombe looked at the gold coin and said to Leon, "Can you come for the third time?"

"Beep beep!" Leon blew his whistle and pointed to the side.

Everyone who watched the game for an hour, of course understood what this meant - Leon remembered that the game time was one hour, and he didn't even know that it was a 10-minute quarter with a break in between, but the physical fitness of the awakened players on the field was enough to deal with it. It was a high-intensity hedging game, and even those knights who were off the field looked more like they were in high gear, and they looked uncomfortable when they didn't interrupt.

Leon originally wanted to use the Morifio team as an example, so as not to let Batu Ton play, but the fifteen people who came out of Batu Ton's team did not have him.It seems that these powerful fighters in the Church of the God of Nature are very measured.

In the second game, it entered into a fever as soon as it came up.After watching the Cavaliers off the court for an hour, they not only mastered more rules, but even developed preliminary tactics.Attackers will not swarm to catch up, and defenders will not run around and block their own players.Both sides played with fifteen players. The attackers were chasing, besieging, or blocking the opponent's players.Defenders also ran out early to respond, protected players with the ball, and disrupted the opponent's line of sight.

With the tactics in hand, the melee combat became more intense. Players who flew into the crowd, ball holders who were pinned down by a group of people, and offensive and defensive players who fought directly!

People's throats were howled, their feet hurt from stomping, and their hands were red and swollen, but they still couldn't bear to move away from the court.When one of the teams scored, someone suddenly threw out a handful of flowers, and the petals floated onto the court with the wind. The scorers asked for help and blew kisses off the court. As a result, a group of girls rushed into the court excitedly, scaring this handsome man. The knight turned and ran.

More girls, and young people rushed in, not just to the scoring team, they rushed to their favorite players-because the players have daily duties, so it is also possible that some of them were "premeditated". old.

The game had to be suspended for 15 minutes. Although some people complained, more people were laughing and blessing.Others took the opportunity to make a quick trip to the bathroom, or to buy flowers too.When the game resumed, the area slightly outside the field was surrounded by tentacles, and anyone who wanted to charge into the field would be stopped.

In the second game, the Batu Ton team won.

Game [-] Mombe wins.Finon's team has strong individual abilities, but they are very lonely. There are even people fighting among themselves. The wolves should be very united. I don't know why the team led by Finon, the wolf clan, is so unique. different.

The game was suspended at noon and resumed at [-]:[-] pm.However, people were reluctant to leave for a long time, and even organized with acquaintances. Only a few of them were asked to buy lunch, and most of the others stayed where they were.

In the afternoon, the four teams continued to draw lots to determine their opponents, Elvira vs Batu Ton, Mombe vs Hogan.In the first game, the Elvira team won.The second game turned out to be... the Hogan team won?

The Batu Ton team was completely overwhelmed by the Elvira team. The children in the orphanage were far behind the Cavaliers, and the outcome was obvious.Everyone thought that the game between the Mombe team and the Hogan team would be a copy of the previous two teams.

The fighters of the Mombai team said they were locals, but they were actually all Kavato tribe, an elite mercenary race, and these people grew up together with a tacit understanding.What about Team Hogan?Not only are they all patchwork, but most of them are civilians who are not good at fighting.Even a businessman who has just come to the ancient city of hope can see which side is more likely to be the winner by taking a few more glances.

But in the end, the two teams fell into a stalemate from the very beginning. The Hogan team was a group of improvised motley crew. Although they were inferior to the Mombe team in terms of teamwork and individual ability, they used their tactics very well. Hand gestures were even improvised to allow conversation in combat.In the end, they narrowly won by two points.

In the final decisive battle, Team Elvira played against Team Hogan, and after Team Hogan fought hard in the previous game, their physical strength dropped sharply. The upset did not break out again, and Team Elvira won.

"It's a pity. When you have time, you can compete with us again." Elvira shook hands with Hogan.

"Okay." Hogan scratched his head. Although he got No.2, luck played a big role, but this kind of game is really fun for everyone to play together.

"Let's go! Let's go! The champion's prize is here!" Outside the arena, the tentacles shook and shouted loudly.The crowd is still in a frenzy, and no one moves at all. If it weren't for the tentacles in the middle of the field, with the frenzy of the crowd, even if the team members are all awakened, some parts will be torn off.

Helpless, the tentacles can only build a bridge over people's high heads to transport the prizes.A gust of wind blows, and the sweet cake aroma wafts around.

"Didn't you say there are no prizes?" Morifio looked at the huge cake and licked his lips. Like his student Eldi, he had a sweet tooth.

"I didn't expect it to be so successful, so I think it's better to prepare some. When you were competing, I just made it. It contained blueberry jam, strawberry jam and rose jam." What was delivered steadily was a huge three-layer cream Fruit cake, when it fell, the cheers that were originally thought to be the limit rose to another level.

In this world, a small honey cake the size of half a palm can be paid to a first-order awakened person as a reward for a month's work. There are still many people who think that a small honey cake is the most delicious food in the world. One can imagine the diet How lacking is the culture.

Even for the excellent workers who are the first to serve meals every day, the cupcakes in the cafeteria are always in the middle of having or not—maybe you can see them on the counter when you first enter the cafeteria, but after running past them at the fastest speed, no more.That's the internal diet, which outsiders don't know about, let alone outside restaurants.

This huge cake was made by Leon himself (tentacle), and it should be enough to move it out as a prize.
