Demon Laws
Chapter 49: All Soldiers Bet

When Dewey came to the camp next to the castle in the afternoon, there were over three hundred private troops guarding the castle in the camp.

Due to the Dewey incident being held hostage by a witch, the Rollin family strengthened the security of the castle by deploying infantry troops to the camp. Currently the number of the Rollin family's personal forces in charge of guarding the castle and the surrounding area had reached one thousand.

Dewey rode horses into the camp, Knight Robert immediately took people out.

Due to the Dewey incident being held hostage, Knight Robert was demoted to half the rank. But it's just a formality. He still carries a cavalry team. Before the end of the year, he would look for an excuse to restore his rank.

After Dewey entered the camp, everyone immediately noticed the Young Master's mount.

That carefully selected horse was the best horse in the entire castle. This horse had long been coveted by Knight Robert.

Now, this white-haired ponytail was already bald.

Seeing Young Master Dewey riding a bald-tailed horse and looking elated, Robert suddenly felt goosebumps. What does Young Master want to do?

“Knight Robert, I just came to see what you guys are doing.” Dewey smiled innocently.

“Young Master, it's still spring. Spring training has just ended. Everything's still shaving lately. For daily patrol duty, the cavalry did. What do you want to see?” Robert looked at Dewey's smile and thought of something. He tried saying, “Maybe you want to hunt? In that case, I will immediately gather an army of cavalry to accompany you.”

According to Robert, the Caged Young Master might be bored and want to find solace.

Hunting is a small business.

“No, not hunting.” Dewey smiled happily. “I came to invite everyone to play. I just thought of a new game.”

Dewey took something from the saddle. Robert then saw a small cloth bag.

After the cloth bag was opened, Dewey took out a ball.

Hm, Dewey spent a lot of energy on this ball.

Having no more money to buy cowhide, Dewey chose his leather jacket in the room, then asked the old housekeeper to find a waitress who could sew. Dewey then said his request.

Just sewing into a ball shape, not difficult. The waiter finished it quickly, the stitches were strong.

For ball bearings ….

There is no rubber in this world so it cannot make a real ball. In order to be elastic, he could only fill it with soft items, preferably hair or the like. For example, a horse's tail.

So by donating a leather coat, plus a ponytail underneath, it becomes a ball.

When making it, some waiters stared at Dewey with a ‘boring’ gaze. But Dewey doesn't care.

This can help him get pocket money.

“Robert, look. This is my new game, it's called football.”

“Each team consists of eleven players, one of whom becomes a goalkeeper. In addition to the goalkeeper, other players should not touch the ball with the hands, otherwise the name of the offense. The way the game is to work with team members to kick the ball into the opponent's goal. At the same time, prevent the opponent from kicking the ball into our goal.”

Dewey briefly explained the basic rules of football. The rules were not complicated so more than a hundred warriors immediately understood.

Throwing the ball with the foot.

On the military training field, two saddles are used to draw the wicket on either side.

Dewey picked Robert and several cavalrymen to form a team, and had another group of officers form a team, then began to play.

At first it was messed up. Soldiers of the Rollin family who have never played football often break the rules. When passing the ball, in order to pass further, a knight kicked until the ball exploded.

Fortunately Dewey had already made preparations by bringing a waiter who could sew it into the field to sew. The poor knight donated his war ponytail.

And when a knight kicks the ball forward, the opponent usually commits a foul to stop it. That adds to Dewey's knowledge.

Many times when someone dribbles to half the field, the opponent holds and kicks it. Not the ball, but the guy. Then they both forget the ball and fight. Not fun.

It must be admitted that the soldiers of the Rollin family are quite skilled in martial arts. They are amazing, physical fitness is also good. Dewey had run out of steam after running a few rounds. Someone then replaced him, he became the referee.

After the red card continues to take out the person fighting, the remaining players end up playing correctly.

Dewey also demonstrated some movement with the ball and attempted a long-range free-kick. Until the afternoon, the soldiers finally mastered the rules of football.

Even the rules of ‘offside’, ‘penalty kick for violation in penalty area’, ‘free kick direct’, and ‘indirect free kick’ are already well played.

When evening, a smart soldier can already ‘dive’ in the penalty area.

Even if the man's performance was bad, Dewey awarded him a penalty with respect. Because his favorite player in his previous life was Inzaghi, known as ‘King Diving’.

The penalty kick also reaped the anger of the audience soldiers.

In one afternoon, all the soldiers in the camp fell in love with this sport.

The first sport in the world was really not good.

Dewey found that some senior soldiers reluctantly sought out leather jackets and gave their ponytails to servants to make balls.

As the sun was about to set, they left the field reluctantly. The victorious soldiers cheered and left as if winning the battle, while the defeated side gnashed their teeth and promised to play again tomorrow.

All of this made Dewey very satisfied.

Later that night, Dewey comes to his small building. Solskjaer is home. This building belongs to Dewey at night.

Some guards were guarding outside, not allowed in.

Dewey went up to the third floor, stood on the terrace and looked at the sky.

“What do you actually do during the day?” Semel sat on the back fence, raising his legs high, leaving Dewey awestruck.

Dewey tried to turn his face away, then sighed. “Make money.”

“Make money?” Semel laughs. He was on Dewey's side all day, but only Dewey could see him. Semel laughed for a moment. He clearly doesn't believe. “You lose one leather jacket and cut the ponytail yourself, sweat, dirty two shirts and covered in dirt. That's his name make money?”

Dewey immediately rolled his eyeballs. “What do you know? Just wait.”

It was already night, there were no clouds in the sky. The sky is full of stars. Dewey saw time. “Can we start now?”

“Star magic exercise is actually not difficult, the difficult thing is to start it.” Semel became more serious when discussing star magic. Right now, his expression just reminded Dewey of that great necromancer.

“Feel with heart.”

“Taste what?” Dewey.

“Star.” Semel slowly said, “Feel the power of stars.” He paused for a moment before explaining. “At first you couldn't feel the whole sky. Choose one star, then sit down and feel with all the power to feel your magic. Feel the response given by the star. This is very difficult and cannot be felt in one night.”

Then Semel taught Dewey a spell. He asks Dewey to cast the spell in his heart while choosing a star.

“Which should I choose?”

“The biggest and brightest,” replied Semel.

Dewey. “The biggest and brightest? My God, there are so many stars in the sky. Which is the biggest and brightest?”

Semel smiled mysteriously, then raised his hand and pointed at the sky. Under the moon, Semel's smile was mesmerizing with a mysterious aura, a calm and unfathomable gaze.

He pointed at the moon.

Dewey's surprised.

The moon!

He looked at Semel in surprise. Does any great necromancer know this? According to Dewey in his previous life, the sun is a star, the moon is a satellite of the earth. They are the largest in the sky because of their size and distance from the earth.

In fact, even witches in this world split the sun, moon, and stars into three different categories.

However, no one knows that the sun and moon are also types of stars.

“Feel with heart, feel any wave even if only a little. This process will be very long, maybe one day, maybe one year. If you can get through this process, you only have the opportunity to learn star magic. Otherwise you have no talent.”

Finished speaking, Semel yawned and sat on the side lazily, looking at the meditating Dewey with his eyes closed and head looking up.

At first, Dewey tried to feel the traditional way of magic.

After having ‘antena’ on his head, the power of sensing Dewey was very strong. He could feel the air currents and wind waves in the sky, feel the rivers flowing at a distance of many miles, even hear the gurgling of water.

The stars and moon are too far away.

Too, too far.

Dewey tried to expand his spiritual power, but the further into the sky, the weaker the spiritual power became. Despite his efforts, Dewey could only feel the wind in the sky.

The moons?

Dewey was a person from his previous life, of course he knew how far the moon was from the place where he was. With such a distance, Dewey did not think that his spiritual power could cross astronomical distances.

Dewey obviously failed on the first night.

“I can't give you detailed directions because this you have to feel for yourself.” Semel took a breath. “If you understand, you will understand. If you don't understand, I'm hard to explain.”

Luckily Dewey was not frustrated. After all Semel had already said that this would not be easy. Dewey has plenty of time. Now he had nothing but a lot of time.

Despite not sleeping last night, Dewey who meditated all night was even more excited in the morning. He was full of energy and did not look sleepy at all.

Dewey vaguely felt that the spell Semel had told him seemed to have a great effect on the growth of spiritual power. Much more effective than regular magic meditation.

This increase did not refer to an increase in spiritual power, but rather made him feel spiritual power refined and more refined.

In the morning, Dewey came to camp again. Today Dewey gathered many soldiers. Almost all the soldiers who did not have patrol duties played in the field.

Half a day ago, all the soldiers who played football fell in love with the sport.

Today, Dewey proposed a new way of playing.

“I give you a hundred gold coins.” Dewey smiled as he said, “You are free to decide the team, then sign up for the competition. Teams are formed based on a draw. The loser is eliminated, the winner continues to compete with the other team. The team that wins at the end will receive a prize of one hundred gold coins.”

Robert felt this game of football was a bit unprofessional, but this game was not bad for soldiers. At least running around could increase their physical strength. In addition, the soldiers who had just undergone spring training in the repair period so that the training was not so strict.

Not to mention, Young Master was so excited. He was not happy to refuse it.

The main reason was certainly because Knight Robert himself was quite fond of this game.

 The suggestion put forward by the esteemed Young Master was not opposed by the officer, let alone the soldier.

And more importantly, there is a gift.

In order for this cup game to take place and to keep the physical strength of the soldiers, Dewey deliberately shortened the game time.

The rules of the game in his previous life were 90 minutes. Here, Dewey sets the half.

Some officers in the camp who manage the logistics are responsible for the registration. The soldiers formed a team based on their personal closeness to enlist.

The commotion lasted all morning. Forty teams were listed.

Dewey set up a team of 15 men, 11 players, 4 substitutes.

The number of people participating reached 600. In other words, more than half of the soldiers in the camp came along.

Fortunately the field is quite large. In addition, there are many forests and grass fields here. No need to worry about the place.

Dewey drew the draw and split the group, then the Rollin family's first football cup match began.

Since the knockout system is based on a draw, after the first round, half of the forty teams remain.

Due to the place issue, twenty matches in the first round were unlikely to be played simultaneously. Until the afternoon left the top twenty.

Today, Dewey, who has watched the game a lot, gets a lot of information based on his magician's spiritual powers and super memories.

Which team has better physical strength, which team is better at penalty kicks, which team is more talented, which team is weaker.

All are remembered by Dewey.

Before the next round began, Dewey proposed the suggestion with a smile. “Just watching others play is pretty boring. How about we bet?”
