Financial reports, to-do lists, results of to-do events, purchasing matters, homework lists, business contacts, soliciting sponsors, etc. These are the things she wants to care about, and all other things should be put aside.

And all this work is to better prepare for this challenge competition between the Princess of the Blue Bay Empire and the Mermaid Song, so that it can be more enthusiastic, more efficient, and more eye-catching!

If there is a huge problem in this Mermaid Song Challenge, it is the problem that Ariel thought of before, that the challenge time is too short.

If you simply fight against the Mermaid Song, each game will be too short, and people will not buy tickets and spend money for this kind of thing. And there is only one challenger, so if there is no way to make it interesting, then it will be the end.

For the decisive battle, the number of people buying tickets is likely to decrease.

So how do you fill the holes?

The answer given by Ariel is... an elemental racing competition that has never appeared in the entire golden continent!

The details of the competition have been distributed, and the five hundred yuan bonus seems to be an eye-catching way now. And with the further announcement of the rules, everyone knows that this is a game that cannot be played against each other.

Crash is a racing competition that purely competes for speed. The contestants are not restricted from where they come from, as long as they have a car.

At present, the attraction of this race is even more eye-catching. Even those who were not very interested in elemental cars before would still want to take a look when they think that this is the first elemental car racing competition. And

Needless to say, the neighboring provinces Tianhong and Diliao Provinces, there are still many people in those places who have not bought elemental cars, so they are naturally very interested in them.

After the publicity went out, the number of people who came to inquire about purchasing element cars naturally increased, which was naturally a good thing for the sales of Ariel's element cars.

If you want to win the race, you need an elemental car and an excellent racer.

Before the race starts, everyone who signs up feels like a good racer.

But apart from being excellent, whether the elemental car under your butt is an excellent elemental car is another question.

And something caught Ariel's attention.

Before the start of the racing competition, the sales volume of various spare parts related to the element car began to increase?

This kind of thing can be understood if you think about it for a moment.

After all, the design draft of the Elemental Car is not limited to Ariel and Tesla. Don’t forget, Pelican City has been teaching children to read, write, and learn knowledge in recent years. And Tesla is also among these excellent

We found several excellent designers among our students and taught them the design ideas of element cars.

If they just sell cars, these designers certainly don't have to go against Ariel's factory. They don't have the strength to open a factory on their own, not to mention that the entire Pelican City is basically Mermaid Song's industry, and it's all her Ariel...

Garcia's private property, even if these designers have good ideas, where will they buy land to open a factory? Where will they recruit skilled workers? Where will they raise funds to compete with the Mermaid Song element car that has already opened up sales?

But now, in order to make their elemental cars faster, some smart people have begun to look for designers to let them use the knowledge they have learned and comprehend to modify these standard elemental cars so that they can

They can run faster!

As a result, the increase in sales of various customized or non-customized parts is naturally an indisputable fact.

Humans~~~ are really very competitive creatures! In order to win this game, some people have even begun to completely ignore whether the bonus and spare parts can balance the budget, and just run

The idea of ​​"must take first place" disappeared.

Of course Ariel is happy to see this~~~

It is precisely because of this that even now, in a tavern in a small border village in that remote province, someone has begun to openly solicit racers to provide vehicle modifications. It is not surprising at all.

Today, August is almost a month away. This period of time is the preparation before the competition.

In this small village tavern at the edge of Tianhong Province and Margin Province, some people could not restrain their excitement and began to talk loudly.

"Hey, you guys are talking about Count Ariel Garcia. How capable is she? Can she actually plan such a racing competition?"

"No! Look, the empire has no intention of stopping her now. Has the empire really decided to let her go and let her do whatever she wants?"

"But this racing competition... I really want to go and see it. I heard that the speed of the elemental car is much faster than that of a horse!"

"Yes, yes, racing at such a fast speed, then... that would be so exciting!"

"I just don't know... how is the recent war situation? Car races are very exciting, but what if I go to watch the race and the exile army invades my city and confiscates my home?"

"The Exile Army? Are the Exile Army very close to here?"

"Well, I heard two days ago that the exile army defeated the multi-arms troops led by Viscount Hilton, penetrated Hilton's territory, and burned down his mansion. Now the exile army has a

He was holding something called an elemental gun, maybe he shot it!"

"Viscount Hilton's territory? Why does it feel like it's getting closer? Then... wouldn't we be in danger?"

"Who knows. Everyone knows that the actual leader of the marginal province is the countess, but we don't know if this exile army will come to provoke the countess."

"By the way, I heard something recently. Do you want to hear it?"

"What's going on? Let's talk about it and don't blame it!"

"Hehe, don't be shocked when you hear this! I heard that a while ago, the Tide Prince of the Empire personally came to Lagoon City! The purpose was to negotiate with the countess and return to the city at the same time.

Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Is this news reliable?"

"Hey, it's up to you to guess whether it's reliable or not! Can I tell you that it's absolutely reliable and I won't lie to you? I can only tell you what I know."

"Hey, keep talking, keep talking! What next?"

"Then, God knows why the eldest princess suddenly went crazy and declared that she wanted to challenge the entire Mermaid Song! But let me tell you, there is no need for Mermaid Song to accept such a challenge. It doesn't matter if you win or lose.

, have no practical significance. But I didn’t expect that the mermaid’s song, that is, the count would actually take it seriously! And he even made a big deal out of it!”

"Ha, a discerning person will know at a glance that he is deliberately playing tricks on the eldest princess! With such a big deal, no matter whether he loses or wins, he is treating the eldest princess as a clown."

"Hehe, this is not the most exciting thing. Do you know what the most exciting thing is? That is, after hearing the news, the prince originally wanted to go and bring the eldest princess back in person. There is no need to go

Such an embarrassment. But! Because of one incident, the prince was unable to set off, so he hurriedly left Lagoon City, the marginal province, and returned to the capital."

"Oh, why is this?"

"Why? Why do you think it is? Because there is news that the exile army is about to attack! After killing Viscount Hilton, the next step is obviously to head to the marginal province! Once the exile army is in the marginal province and Tian

If the traffic artery between Hong and other provinces is blocked, how can our Prince return? Doesn’t this mean he has to flee back immediately with his tail between his legs?"

"Oh oh oh! If you put it this way... Oh my god, Blue Bay Empire, has the empire become like this now?"

"There's one more thing I haven't told you yet!"

"Is there anything else? More exciting?"

"Hey, do you know that the legendary 'brave'... has appeared?"

"Brave???"

"That's right! Brave! Do you know what the appearance of the brave means?"

"Oh my God... According to legend, once a brave man appears, it means that the Demon King will break through the seal again and come to this world! The terrible Demon King will destroy many lives... and bring countless countries into eternity.

In the terrible burning hell!"

"That's right! He is such a brave man. He just accepted the commission from the Emperor of the Blue Bay Empire not long ago and secretly wants to come and take away the eldest princess. Legend has it that wherever a brave man arrives, there will be countless disputes.

And disaster. Alas... I don’t know how long the current Blue Bay Empire can sustain in a world where the Demon King will soon come to the world..."

"It's scary... It's really scary... Come on, drink and drink! After drinking, I'm going back to warm myself up... Damn it, it's such a hot summer, I can feel cold sweat breaking out on my back just listening to your words.

"

In the bustling tavern, noisy noises began to sound again. People were drinking among themselves, singing songs, playing various small instruments, dancing, and enjoying the joy at this time.

After all, the empire seems to be in chaos right now, so maybe it can still appear a little more stable in a place like this, which is close to a border province...

At this time, the man who had just told the "rumor" he swore about was holding his own wine glass and watching the people here drinking with great satisfaction.

Especially, seeing the soldiers who were supposed to be on duty now holding wine glasses and drinking drunkenly, they looked very happy.

This is a man with messy hair, a beard, wearing an ordinary peasant linen coat, his fingers are very rough, and he looks like he is in his early thirties.

Amidst the commotion, he held the wine glass in his hand and silently glanced at the drinkers around him. Then, his eyes fell on a person in the corner of the tavern.

It was a young man, about twenty years old, wearing a very ordinary-looking light armor, with short flaxen hair, and a men's pendant earring under his left ear, with a

ruby.

This young man's figure does not look very tall, but his exposed arms can be seen to be full of strong and tight muscles, full of explosive power. And what attracts the middle-aged man's attention the most is

It was a sword he placed on the table.

It was a one-handed sword with a feather pattern engraved on the hilt. Even when viewed from a distance, it seemed to exude some divine brilliance. Even before it was unsheathed, one could feel the power contained in it.

As for the young man's back, he was carrying something covered with cloth. Judging from its shape, it should be a shield.

At that moment, the middle-aged man held his own wine glass and walked towards the young man who was eating with his head down and seemed indifferent to everything around him. As he passed by, he also took another glass from the tray in the hand of the maid who passed by.

Drinking wine, while giving the maid a bright smile.

Holding the wine glass, the middle-aged man sat down at the young man's table and handed the wine glass in his hand to the young man.

The young man with flaxen hair was obviously stunned for a moment. He raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged man. At the same time, the middle-aged man also saw the young man's slightly childish face and those amber-colored eyes.

Normal pupils.

"I invited you."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, smiled, and clinked the glass in his hand with the wine glass in front of the young man.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then stopped eating in front of him and said slowly: "Excuse me, are you...?"

"Flash, known as the sloppy Flash. Nice to meet you, Lord Brave."

The young man who was called the "brave" did not show any confusion about this title. He just silently lowered his head and glanced at the bread, milk, eggs and meat cakes in his hands, then looked at the bottle of wine and said: "

Mr. Flash, I have no interest in what you just preached."

But Fleish smiled: "Of course you are not interested. According to legend, brave men are generally only interested in the devil. And once the brave appears, the devil will not be far away. As an ordinary person, I just want to get

Some more precise information so that we can make some preparations so as not to be at a loss when the devil comes."

The brave man shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Flash, I think you may have got the most fundamental question wrong."

He took a bite of the bread in his hand and showed no interest in the glass of cider——

"The appearance of a brave man and a demon king together is just a legend."

"The title of brave is not a unique gift from God."
