Chapter 1063: The Game Began!
Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
Neverwinter held the first National Sports Meeting on the Victory Day.
Roland had simplified the process of the game, so there was neither an opening ceremony nor a running mentary on the match. However, this could not stop it from being a major event in the city.
Early in the morning, everyone spontaneously rushed to the Kingdom Main Street with a little stool or a felt-padded cushion in hand, since they all wanted to grab a nice position to watch the game. Most of them went out with all of their family members. Such a huge stream of people attracted lots of peddlers. They carried snacks and beverages on their backs, peddling along the way.
Considering that most people in the city needed to walk at least 28 kilometers to the middle section of the Kingdom Main Street, where the finish line was located, Roland decided to start the race at 2:00 pm. By doing so, he could allow more time for the spectators to get ready. Still, beyond his expectations, he soon found out that he had underestimated their enthusiasm for this game. By noon, this place had already been tightly surrounded by about 10,000 enthusiastic spectators, and more people were still ing here.
As the king of Graycastle, he did not have to huddle together with the mon people. The Ministry of Construction had built a stand next to the street a day before. There were around 100 seats on its platform, which were reserved for the senior officials of Neverwinter. Some soldiers of the First Army also were placed around the stand to ensure their safety.
"Your Majesty, here's the roster of the 1,462 participants." Scroll came up with a thick stack of papers in hand. "But due to the limited registration time, I only categorized the information and analyzed the data rudimentarily. If I had two more days..."
"That's alright." Roland waved his hand to stop Scroll. "We are holding this sports meeting to boost people's morale for the expedition. We can't afford any delay."
When he glanced through the roster, he found out that Scroll was just being modest. In such a short time, she found out every participant's address and resume and recorded all the information in an orderly way. Roland believed no one else could do a better job.
In the roster, he came across some familiar names.
One was his old buddy, Yorko.
Another one was Lucia's younger sister, Ring.
He also saw the three alchemists from the former capital city's Alchemist Workshop.
He was happy to see them approve the sports meeting's proverb, "the most important thing is to participate
