Chapter 170

Although the celestial sphere is very popular, it is not a real national sport.

In fact, there are similar football games in the world, but compared with the fact that it has become similar to earth equestrian. Golf and other recognized noble sports, football's influence is too small.

No matter whether the dignified magicians will put down their bodies and run around the whole field with a group of mud legs, the body materials of magic swordsmen can easily crush some professional football players

Under totally unequal conditions, the fun of basketball, football, table tennis and other sports like the earth in this world will be much less fun - just as no one will particularly like an online game in which no one can recharge, but there is a large group of RMB players who can crush themselves arbitrarily.

So instead of watching boring football games, it's better to watch this kind of civilian play that has been excluded from the beginning - only magical people like swordsmen and magicians can play the celestial sphere. At least the sky ball looks more colorful and interesting than football.

Of course, we can't rule out that there are some people who just want to see a group of people who are originally of noble status flying around on the court, and there are some people who want to fight for a ball. Even in the anonymous survey of some chambers of Commerce, this kind of audience still accounts for a large proportion

The game form of celestial sphere is a little like football played with tennis rackets.

It's a game in which two teams send out eight people, a total of 16 people. The players use the racket to avoid the repulsive ball, and hit the golden ball into the storage bubble protected by the other team to score. A game has only 60 minutes in total. There are two games. The team with high score wins, and the team with the first score wins.

Although the rules are simple, the investment required for this kind of competition is staggering.

First of all, it is the most basic "ascending array" which is based on the huge round stadium. This magic array can form a spherical space with the diameter equal to the magic array at a distance of one meter from the ground. All athletes rely on this magic array to maintain their own suspension in the air and move through it by releasing magic power.

And then there's the ball. There are 13 balls in the game, 12 of which are repulsive balls of different colors. These balls fly irregularly in the spherical space through the magic power provided by the ascending array. Moreover, as long as the distance between them is lower than a certain value, they will be attracted. Of course, the players who don't have the sky ball can fly them. In addition to the repulsion ball, there is a golden ball that looks like a small sun, releasing soft light. This is the scoring ball that the players want to fight for, which is the so-called celestial sphere.

Finally, there's the equipment for the players, a racket and a uniform.

The name of the racket science is the sky ball restraint racket. It looks like a tennis racket without a net. However, there is a layer of special magic film in the original part of the net. This kind of film has a certain attraction for the celestial sphere. As long as you can touch the sky ball, you can stick it on it. However, this kind of adhesion is not strong, strong impact can shake it down from above, at the same time, strong swing can also achieve the effect of flying the sky ball. In addition, this layer of film has a strong repulsion to the repulsive belt, even if it is gently waved, it can fly far away.

The length of the ball suit is very similar to the armor in foil competition, but in fact it is not armor (although it can be regarded as armor in terms of hardness). There are magic arrays that play the role of sensors everywhere in the uniform. As long as the player is hit by the repulsion ball, the signal will be transmitted to the racket in the players' hands through the ball suit, and the magic power of the racket acting as a net will change The gravity of the celestial sphere will directly become repulsive force, which will eject the celestial sphere from the racket.

Therefore, as long as someone grabs the sky ball, the players of the other team will try their best to hit him with the repulsion ball, and he must take the sky ball across a distance under the cover of bullets and teammates, and then, outside the restricted area, under the defense of the opposing goalkeeper, hit the sky ball into a storage bubble similar to the goal.

Although it's a bit boring to say, after the official competition, the colorful repulsive balls and golden sky balls in the background of the flying athletes all over the field are very good both for viewing and for fun. It is because of this that this sport is so popular with magicians, swordsmen and people who can't play it.

When Sylvie followed Elena to the stadium under construction, he was thundered by the scene in front of him.

"What about those two huge metal balls?" Seaver asked Elena, pointing to two prototype balls not far away, surrounded by thick steel bars.

"That's the mark used to indicate the effective range of the sky rising array to the athletes." Elena explained to Sylvia: "because there have been several games in the middle of the game, a few careless players focused on the celestial sphere, and they didn't realize that they flew out of the effective range of the sky array and fell half dead. Therefore, it has been stipulated in recent competitions to make such a mark. Because there are a lot of teams participating in the competition, we golovito is going to build two stadiums. In this way, the competition will be faster and the schedule will not be prolonged Otherwise, even if the sky ball competition can bring a lot of profits, but also consume a lot more. In addition, it is estimated that not many people will come to see it. In general, it is not cost-effective. Of course, the last few games will not be held at the same time, and the time will be well divided so that the fans can enjoy the grand ceremony of the ball gameIt's just to maximize the benefits of the game West Wei Feifei, but did not intend to really say it, after all, to maximize the interests of businessmen is normal.

And it seems that Elena has also spent a lot of thought on the sky ball competition, and knows more about some things.

"And what about the stout metal pillar?" Asked seavy again.

"It's not finished yet. It's said that there will be a huge scoreboard on it after that, so that even those fans who don't get tickets can immediately know how the war is going." Elena also continued to reply without hesitation: "in fact, at the beginning, some of the largest chambers of Commerce planned to broadcast the whole process of those competitions, but because this magic imaging technology is not mature, the cost is huge, and there may be problems at any time, so the atmosphere can only be set off through the scoreboard and some text live instructions."

Although it's a bit of a cliche, Sylvie has to admit that it's a very good technique. It allows some people who are interested in the game to stay near the stadium and watch the score and the text. At this time, some associations selling drinks, snacks or other souvenirs can make a lot of money. Even if the chambers of Commerce don't plan to spend their time in such small places, it's a good choice to divide the stalls and charge the vendors who come in to sell these things.

In addition, it is estimated that there will be gambling and other things.

In a word, it's just that we didn't miss any chance to maximize the value of the sky ball competition

But that's not what Sylvie is struggling with.

"That Is there anything strange to you, Mr. Aldrich? " Elena looked at the strange looking Seaver and asked cautiously.

"It should be said, is there nothing strange about you?"

Seaver looked at the two iron balls not far away, and the black thick iron bar that rose from the sky between the two iron balls, and asked Elena.

"What?" The silver haired girl followed SIVI's eyes and looked at the court with a puzzled look on her face.

"No, nothing." Sylvie shook his head.

I didn't expect that the girl who had been wearing rabbit girl's clothes was so pure, or was it that he was too evil?

SIVI looked at the court, a distant expression on his face, ha ha: "isn't this Armstrong gyratory acceleration jet Armstrong gun? What a high degree of reduction... "

Elena was still puzzled.

It's time for Simone to show up in the past.

"Ah, find uncle!"

Because it's cloudy today, saranlia didn't go out with her parasol, or because it was cloudy today, she would go out at this time as a vampire.

When the blue haired girl saw Seaver, she ran towards him without hesitation.

So Seaver immediately pretended to be surprised and ignored Elena, who was still thinking. He said to saranlia, "Oh, saran. Did you come out so early today

"Well, because I can't sleep." The blue haired girl nodded and said, not believing that there was anything wrong with sleeping during the day.

Although she didn't feel much at first, she suddenly thought of her own words in the mirror after a few conversations.

Many people should have had the experience of reminding themselves not to think about something, but the more reminders, the more difficult it is to drive them out of their minds.

It's the same with saranlia now. She never cared about Sylvie before, or didn't look at him as a man at all, but now she can't help but begin to care about it. Even if I try to stop thinking about this, I can't help but pay more and more attention to SIVI.

"What's the matter?" Sylvia noticed that saranya was staring straight into her face and reached out to touch her face. "Is there anything on my face?"

"No, nothing." The girl flurried away from her eyes. Then she found herself standing behind SIVI, looking at her curiously. So she quickly changed the topic: "are you two dating?"

Although she didn't pay attention at the beginning, the girl felt that her chest suddenly became stuffy, and an unknown feeling overflowed in her chest.

It may be that saranya's expression was too obvious. Eleanor showed a clear smile like a little fox, and extended her rough but white hand to her: "my name is Elena, Eleanor simag. Just call me my first name. In addition, don't worry, Mr. Aldrich and I are just business relations ~ "

" why should I worry? " Saran blushed and murmured in a low voice, but she reached out and shook Eleanor honestly. "My name is saran chekovia. Just call me saran."

"Yes, Miss saran." Elena's standard of dealing with people is obviously much better than that of saranlia. Even though the other party is reluctant to do so, she still said with a gentle smile, "I'm visiting the sky ball stadium with Mr. alidirk. Would you like to join us?"In the face of Elena's invitation, saranlia seemed hesitant.

But SIVI was curious to ask: "the stadium has not been completed, you now invite us such as irrelevant people to go really no problem?"

After all, she is a client of her chamber of Commerce, and has a similar alliance relationship to a certain extent, so it is quite famous to take her to go there. However, saran is just the type of person who has no relationship. It is not a good thing to take strangers into the unfinished stadium.

"Would miss saran spoil the court?" Elena asked.

"How can it be?" Saranlia immediately denied.

Although she does have the strength to destroy the court, even she would not do such meaningless things.

"Is that all right?" Elena showed a sweet smile and her eyes were bent like crescent moon. Even Sylvie could not tell whether her smile was from the heart or just a fake smile for the purpose of work: "although it is not finished, the stadium is originally for the audience to see. As long as it is not damaged, it doesn't matter if we take you there."

Although Sylvie is still a little difficult to let go, but he has no reason to refute. Anyway, people took him to the stadium out of good intentions. There is no need for him to refute each other in such a place, so as to disappoint Eleanor.

Even if it's a competition of this level, it's impossible to build the stadium in the city. It's a waste to build such a huge one-off building in a city with an inch of land and an inch of gold. Naturally, smart businessmen would not do such a thing.

So the sky ball stadium is actually built outside the city.

However, because it is not far away from the city, and even some places in the city can see the stadium, it will not let the fans give up watching the game because of the distance. Some scholars also believe that after the end of the sky ball competition, the Lord is likely to take the sky ball stadium as a central point and start to expand the city of golovito outward, so as to solve the problems of insufficient living area and rising house prices in the city.

After some inspection, the party left the city of golovito and arrived at the sky ball stadium under construction.

In addition to the two huge iron balls and the pillar that can be seen in the distance, there are actually two buildings under the iron ball, which are just like the ancient Roman Colosseum. That is where the audience can watch the game.

Different from SIVI at the beginning, he underestimated the enthusiasm of those sky ball fans. Now the sky ball field has become very busy.

In addition to the enthusiastic construction workers, there are many tourists around, just want to enter the stadium still need to produce identification.

In addition, some smart stalls have also been placed from the city to the stadium outside the city.

After all, in order to prevent the construction from being interfered by the demons in the wild, the Lord stationed an army with excellent fighting power here, and the chamber of commerce also employed a lot of magic swordsmen to clean up the surrounding area. In addition, some defensive magic was specially set up by the Qiyao mage Association. Now the defense capacity here is only a few walls less than the city, unless it is too strong to be suppressed by manpower If not, it will not threaten the safety of the game.

Therefore, if you set up a stall here, you don't have to be afraid of getting hurt, but the tax will be a little heavier than that in the city, because the troops stationed will collect a certain amount of money from the stall owners as the official protection fee.

SIVI even saw that some stall owners with strong hands-on skills were about to build a small house

"That's amazing. I thought this side would be blocked before it was built." Looking at the bustling scene around him, SIVI couldn't help exclaiming: "after all, it's more common to use hunger marketing to increase the sense of expectation at this time."

"Although it is good to block the news and increase the public's sense of expectation, several big chambers of Commerce decided to develop the right to visit the periphery after discussion. Because our guests are not only the residents of golovito, instead of using that hunger marketing method to increase the desire of a city audience, we should open the peripheral tour to let more people know about the competition. Moreover, because ordinary people are not allowed to enter it, there is a certain concept of hunger marketing in it. " Alina replied that it was the first time she had heard the word hunger marketing, but because she had been in the business world, she soon understood the meaning of the word and seemed to be interested in it.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I feel terrible..." Saranlia looked surprised.

Just as the three of them were talking about the game, there was a commotion among the tourists nearby.

They all looked at the place and saw a man in a very heavy tuxedo on a hot summer day. He led a huge black wolfhound to the field.

The black wolfhound was still burning a blue flame, looking very powerful.

Strange is that the people around not only were not frightened by the wolf dog, but most people want to surround and greet the man with the wolf dog."Who's that guy?" Sylvia asked Elena, who was next to him.

"Ronald Shao, a famous celestial ball player, is also a middle-level magician who has passed the magic Jinkao." Elena didn't disappoint Sylvia, and immediately gave the answer: "the technology of celestial sphere is very good, and it's very popular for celestial lovers. I guess I came here to get familiar with the game

"I don't like him." Saranlia said with a straight face, giving people a feeling of being angry as a child.

"Me too." Sylvie rarely agreed.

Although he said hello to Fang Zheng with a smile, the contempt for others in his eyes made SIVI feel uncomfortable.

"Shall we advance to the arena?" "Then you don't have to meet him," Eleanor suggested

Just as Sylvie and they were going to listen to Elena's proposal to advance to the stadium, the riot nearby suddenly became serious.

Unlike before, it was people who wanted to squeeze there, but now people want to run out.

"What's the matter?" Elena looked nervously over there.

"It seems that the devil led by that guy has gone wild." SIVI squinted in the direction of the riot.

"It's coming towards us!" As a vampire, saranya immediately mastered the whereabouts of the demon, and exclaimed. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start（ qidian.com ）Your support is my biggest motivation to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. )
