Chapter 170 (1/2)

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.
