Chapter 1064: Ten Years of Persistence
Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
In Border District, hundreds of race participants started to run!
They were greeted by cheers all along the Kingdom Main Street as they were running toward Longsong Stronghold . Some police officers who wore uniforms and bright ribbons, bicycled on both sides of the street, following the participants all the way . They worked as judges and relief workers for this long-distance race .
The same situation occurred in Longsong District .
For the first time in this world, more than a thousand people were running toward the same place at the same time . Not out of fear for their lives but to show their strength without any concerns . Undoubtedly, Neverwinter would gain a worldwide reputation for such an unprecedented event .
Soon, everyone on the continent would know that the new king's city of Graycaslte organized the first long-distance race in the world .
. . .
At the finish line, on the grandstand, Lance was bending over the handrails, shouting and cheering . Cole turned toward Edith and asked, "Sister, why didn't you join the race? If it's just about endurance, shouldn't you also be able to win a prize?"
Cole noticed that after Lance came to Neverwinter, Edith seemed to be in a better mood and became much more talkative . Most of the time, she would not even tease him in front of their youngest brother . Otherwise, he would never dare to disturb Edith with such a trivial question .
"Oh?" Edith glanced sideways at him . "Why do I have to win such a prize?"
"Uhm— Didn't you really like this kind of competition before?"
"If you hadn't stood out from the competition, you would've never become the Pearl of the Northern Region," Cole thought . In his view, Edith was a super competitive person . Back in the Northern Region, she practiced fencing with knights in the daytime and shone brightly at banquets in the evening . She defeated countless knights single-handedly and attracted lots of admirers on social occasions . Even Timothy was attracted to her .
After winning many fencing matches and outshining numerous ladies at banquets, she finally became a well-known figure in the Northern Region . Cole really could not understand why she suddenly started to keep a low profile and refused to join this long-distance race held by His Majesty .
"Because our family needed me to do that . " Edith shrugged . "If I hadn't tried my best to increase the influence of the Kant family as quickly as possible, our father would've never got the duke title . I had to do that, even if I needed to act like a clown in front of those idiots to win their favor . " She sneered before adding, "Do you think I enjoyed it?"
Cole could tell it was a threatening tone .
"No, I just . . . "
"But now, I don't have to rely on this kind of competition to grab the king's attention," Edith continued, seemingly not minding what Cold previously said, which made the boy feel quite relieved . "And . . . I'm not alone anymore . "
Cole was stunned . "What do you mean by that?"
Edith looked at Lance and Cole . "I now have you guys, don't I?"
Hearing that, Cole immediately thrust out his chest . He felt that he should say something at this moment, but he did not know what to say .
Edith smiled at him and then turned her gaze toward the upper part of the grandstand . "Do your job well . That'll be the greatest help to me . "
. . .
Guelz wheezed violently and began to slow down . "How long . . . do we still have to run?"
"The sign that we've just passed reads fourteen . That is to say, we've only run half the distance . " Rohan felt worried and asked . "Father, are you alright? You're panting heavily . How about we stop here and rest for a while . Anyway, there are many people behind us now . "
As Rohan had expected, not many people could keep running for more than an hour . The participants started running as a crowd, and then the crowd gradually turned into a line . At this moment, it was probably a dotted line .
Guelz and Rohan were among the leading runners . Since the beginning of the game, only several participants had surpassed them . Given that, Rohan thought even if they were to take some rest here, they could still do well in the race . He did not care much about the prize .
He was more worried about his father's health .
Guelz had not taken any strenuous exercise for a long time, and this long-distance race turned out to be even more consuming than traveling across a desert . In a desert, they did not need to run very fast . They just followed a planned route and could get food and water from the oases along the way . In this race, however, they needed to use lots of energy to keep a certain speed .
"You want to give up again?" Guelz glared at Rohan . "Because you're not the last one?"
"I . . . "
