Chapter 98 The Princess's Gaze
Actually, Raffi noticed Dorothy when she won the second match.
However, at that time, there were several other apprentices she was paying attention to on other arenas.
They are all candidates who have a chance to compete for the championship in this competition.
After Dorothy won the third match, Raffi's attention was completely drawn to her.
Raffi raised his left hand and beckoned gently.
A well-mannered maid stepped forward and bowed.
Raffi whispered to the maid, "Go and investigate the girl next to Elor."
The maid nodded slightly, took two steps back, and then turned and left.
Raffi glanced at Luffy without making a sound.
Besides paying attention to the apprentices in the City of Apprentices, she also paid close attention to the apprentices in the Kingdom of Cangyan.
There are also several formidable figures among them.
There were even two of them, which Raffi felt were already at the level of novice magicians.
It's just that the other party hasn't taken the magician exam to obtain official magician status yet.
The aim may be to make a splash at this exchange meeting.
Based on the apprentices from the City of Apprentices that Raffi observed yesterday, she felt that none of them would be a match for the two apprentices from the Azure Rock Kingdom.
Although Raffi remained outwardly calm, she was actually a little flustered inside.
After all, losing would be a huge loss of face for Luffy.
It's possible that the two of them will study magic together at the magic university in the future.
Lafi doesn't want to lose to Ruff.
But now, it seems she has found a worthy opponent.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Lafite wanted to know more about this friend's friend.
Dorothy, who had just finished another match, reached out to take the wooden cup that Elor handed her.
"What is this?"
Dorothy looked at the pale green liquid in the glass with some curiosity.
She smelled it and noticed a faint sweetness.
Elor smiled and said, "This is vanilla honey water, specially prepared for you."
Leona isn't here today.
After all, it would be a waste of talent for her, as a high-level mage, to just sit idly in the audience.
So Leon grabbed him and made him help her.
Leona is now acting as a referee on one of the rings below.
Anna was also absent.
However, the reason she wasn't there was that she found the magic apprentice competition yesterday too boring.
So today she went straight to the library.
No matter how much Dorothy tried to pull her, she wouldn't come over.
In fact, Anna was dragged here by Dorothy yesterday.
But she was bored and wanted to sleep.
In order to avoid upsetting Anna, Dorothy had no choice but to give up.
So today it's just her and Elor.
Under Elor's expectant gaze, Dorothy took a sip of the vanilla honey water.
Dorothy's eyes widened slightly in an instant.
A little nervously, Elor asked, "Is it good?"
“Wuwu!”
Dorothy mumbled something, nodded slightly, and soon finished drinking all the water in her glass.
"Ah! Delicious!"
After making a remark, Dorothy seemed a little unsatisfied.
She loves drinking sweet drinks the most.
Upon hearing this, Elor smiled with satisfaction.
She took a sealed bottle directly from the storage space.
"Hehe, there are many more here~"
Elor shook the bottle in her hand, looking at Dorothy with a seductive tone.
Sure enough, it immediately caught Dorothy's attention.
Dorothy immediately held out the cup she was holding.
"Sister Elor, fill my cup!"
Upon hearing the word "sister," Elor naturally nodded in agreement.
Just as she filled Dorothy's vanilla honey water, Elor gently pressed down on Dorothy's wrist.
"Wait a minute."
Then, under Dorothy's questioning gaze, Elor took out two straws.
She put the straw into the cup.
"Well, let's drink together—"
When Elor said this, he subconsciously licked his lips.
Dorothy didn't say anything, but simply took one of the straws and put it in her mouth.
Then he shifted his position slightly, moving closer to Elor's location.
Elordan immediately felt her heart race.
By the third day of the exchange meeting, most of the apprentices had been eliminated.
Walking down the street, almost everyone I met was talking about the competition between the apprentices.
Some merchants even prepared photo stones to capture and sell the images of some of the more outstanding apprentices.
In addition to various business activities.
The most exciting thing is betting.
There are already few forms of entertainment and leisure in this world.
It's not easy to encounter a large-scale event.
Many people are already eager to try it out.
Dorothy shook her head as she looked at the many people clutching money bags in their hands.
Therefore, these people are not allowed to go up to the magic tower in the City of Apprentices.
Otherwise, they would perform a trapeze act that day.
Of course, Dorothy wouldn't miss such a chance to get free money.
She secretly bet on herself to win.
However, this was of course done behind Elor's back.
Dorothy considered herself a good girl.
The first two days were basically a chaotic free-for-all.
No one can figure out who is stronger, so the odds are not high.
However, after two days, the favorites to win the championship have basically emerged.
Just as Dorothy was preparing to find an excuse to leave Elor for a while and bet on herself to win.
Suddenly, a dignified maid appeared before them.
The other person crossed their arms in front of their chest, behaving elegantly.
"Two lovely ladies, are you going the same way?"
The other person's voice was cold and aloof, which perfectly matched her appearance.
When Dorothy was about to refuse the maid who suddenly stopped her, Elor reached out and stopped her.
Dorothy didn't recognize the maid in front of her, but Elor did.
"Annie, did Raffi send you?"
Although it was a question, Elor's tone was full of certainty.
As the princess's personal maid, Raffi was always present wherever Anne appeared.
Anne simply smiled and did not answer.
Elor's gaze swept around and quickly locked onto an ordinary-looking carriage not far away.
After confirming the target, Elor took a deep breath.
"Miss Anne, please take us there."
Anne bowed slightly: "Miss Elor, please bring your companions and come with me."
Then Anne turned around and walked toward the carriage not far away.
Seeing this, Elor reached out and took Dorothy's hand, and followed them.
Anne came to the carriage, took down a small wooden stool from it, and then stood next to the stool to invite the two of them.
Elor took the first step, stepping onto the wooden bench. Anne stepped forward and reached out to help Elor board the carriage.
Then Annie lifted the curtain to let Elor in.
Just as Dorothy was wondering whether she should wait down there...
After all, she wasn't a noblewoman, while Elor did have a noble status.
Suddenly, she felt light as Annie picked her up.
Anne carried Dorothy and placed her on the carriage.
Then she picked up the wooden stool, put it back in its original place, and climbed onto the carriage herself.
"Miss Dorothy, please come in."
Anne lifted the curtain and said softly.
Her series of actions were both gentle and decisive.
