The final wheel

The Alchemy Grand Prix Ring stage reached the third and final round of the group stage.

The Dakko team had done enough to test that the hibernation mixture could release a syncope-causing ingredient that would reach the brain through the bloodstream eight minutes after taking it, causing the orc warrior to faint. It's not uncommon for more powerful and fast stun potions, but the formulas of other types of potions contain certain special magic plants, which are not available in the raw materials provided by the Alchemy Grand Prix. Salver was able to combine a recipe for a syncope-inducing potion from the magic plants provided by the Grand Prix, which was already exhausting, not to mention the need to take care of the 5-10 minute time period.

Eight minutes is not too long or too short, and the Darko team has already made a lot of arrangements for Assiba in these eight minutes of tactics, just waiting to be played on the spot.

At the beginning of Group A of the third round of the match, there was an unexpected situation, when the orc warriors of the Roche Clenmending team appeared in the armed zone, the entire Colosseum gradually erupted into heated discussions. Because the orc warriors used by Roche Clenmendin's team are a little taller, almost catching up with the orc commander of Gafreshak's team. It was clear that the Roche Clenmending team had replaced the orc warriors, which provoked such a heated discussion in the audience.

In fact, in the second round, the Roche Clenmending team had already replaced the orc warriors and was discovered by Otto and others. It's just that it's not too different from the orc warriors in the first round, and only a few people found out about it, and it didn't cause a sensation. However, the orc warriors they used in this round were very different from the previous round, and after the qualifying situation was clear, the audience needed to pay attention to half of the teams, and this was soon discovered.

The Alchemy Grand Prix does not have restrictions on replacing orcs, after all, orcs are easily injured or even killed in the ring competition, and it makes sense to replace them with new ones. But I didn't expect the Roche Clenmending team to do so thoroughly, and no matter whether the orc warriors in the last game were injured or severe, they were all replaced by new orc warriors for the game.

The crowd was shocked by Roche Clenmentin's approach, but did not accuse or insult them, after all, it did not violate the rules of the game. If you want to change an orc warrior every game, you also need strong financial resources to protect it, and having money is also part of your strength. A large part of the spectators in the stands are gamblers, and they agree with that. What's more, compared to the despicable and shameless match-fixing, this simple act of showing off wealth is really irrelevant.

Half an hour later, the Roche Clenmending team and the Fadan team finished arming the orc warriors and began the ring match. The two teams ranked 4th and 5th respectively in the qualifying round, and it is also a strong conversation that is more expected. However, as soon as the fight between the orc warriors was carried out in the 11th minute, the orc warriors of the Faddan team were directly knocked to the ground and could not get up, and the Roche Clonmending team won.

Darko looked at the situation on the field, thought for a while, and said, "In the last match between the Faddan team and the Cynthia team, Cynthia used suicidal tactics, and it seems that the orc warriors of the Faddan team were also injured a lot, and they didn't recover in a week. The Roche Clenmending team is a new healthy orc warrior, and with the advantages of one or the other, this fiasco is also reasonable. ”

Leah shook her head and said, "It's not that simple, St. Yale City is so big, there will be no shortage of healers, even if it is not as good as me, it can at least restore eighty percent of the combat effectiveness of the seriously injured orc warriors." But the performance of the Faidan team was too poor, and in the end he was not attacked, and he suddenly collapsed, obviously deliberately giving up the game. ”

Wendy thought for a moment and said, "It's true that the Fadan team has won two games, and they can qualify anyway." Instead of fighting hard with the Roche Clenmending team to win the group, it is better to recharge and keep the knockout rounds to show off their skills. ”

"I'm afraid there are people behind the scenes, and the Fadan team is also willing to give up this game, so they will go with the flow, otherwise there is no explanation why they waited until the 11th minute to lose. Kevin sneered, "The audience's attention is focused on the local tyrant style of the Roche Clen Mending team changing an orc warrior every game, and knowing that the Foddan team was seriously injured in the last game, I think this result is reasonable." In fact, this seemingly reasonable result is hidden behind the scenes. ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "Sure enough, as George said, in the final round of the game, all teams began to be shameless. ”

Otto nodded solemnly, convinced.

Everyone expected that in the third round of the group stage of the Alchemy Grand Prix, all kinds of fake matches would emerge one after another, and they couldn't be interested in this kind of fake play that seemed reasonable. At least the Faidan team is still worried about face, losing a little better, with the serious injury in the last game as a foreshadowing, and now the performance is understandable.

But then the next game, the second game of the group is the match between the Lai Funing team and the Cynthia team, in the last game, the orc warriors of the Cynthia team have been killed, and many people thought that they would give up the game directly, so most of them bought the Lai Funing team to win. However, what they didn't expect was that the Cynthia team actually got an ordinary orc to play, and it seemed that they were still full of energy. On the contrary, Lai Funing's team was unhurriedly arming the orc warriors, as if they didn't care about the result of the game.

Darko looked at such a strange scene and thought of a possibility in his heart, "Lai Funing's team has lost two games in front of it and lost its qualification, so it seems that they are ready to give up this battle of honor?"

Phyllis sneered and said, "Bullshit battle of honor, in front of money, what is honor?"

Kevin shrugged, "Anyway, I'm not qualified to qualify, and playing a match-fixing match will not only earn back the initial investment, but maybe there will be a surplus, so why not? If I were in that situation, I would also accept the match-fixing." ”

Leah stomped Kevin hard and then said dissatisfiedly, "It looks like there are not a few teams like us who have received behind-the-scenes deals, is the Gafreshak family's hand stretched too long?"

"The Gafreřak family started out as a casino, and no matter how you manipulate the gambling game, it is not overstepping. They will indeed make a windfall in the Alchemy Grand Prix, but this competition is held every four years, and such a large span and long wait are enough for them to manage and plan well. Phyllis paused and continued, "And the interests of a large-scale event like the Alchemy Grand Prix are extremely wide-ranging, and match-fixing may not be the Gafreřak family's troublemaker. ”

At the beginning of the second game of Group A, the orcs of the Cynthia team and the orc warriors of the Lai Funing team fought together, and the orcs of the Cynthia team were completely armed according to the strongest support that the orcs could carry, on the other hand, the orc warriors of the Lai Funing team basically had no magic fluctuations. But even so, the orc was still no match for the orc warriors, and gradually fell behind. However, in the 3rd minute of the game, the orc warriors of Lai Funing's team suddenly fell to the ground and passed out directly. In this game, it was the orcs of the Cynthia team who won!

Even in anticipation of the deep darkness, the audience still found it difficult to accept such a result for a while, and the sound of shouting, whistling, and inverted colors rang out, enveloping the entire Colosseum. If the first game of Group A is at least concerned about face and is reasonable, then this second game is not concerned about face at all, and the fake can be seen through at a glance.

In the main stand, the president of the Alchemy Guild and the four vice presidents also had different expressions and expressions, only Lesotho, who was full of silver hair, sat quietly in his seat, quite a kind of calmness when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Victoria sighed softly, "Lesotho, is this really good?"

Lesotho shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "It's just a fair deal, and it doesn't affect the fairness of the game." ”

"I hope so. ”

At this point, the matches in Group A have all ended, and the ranking of Group A and the order of the knockout rounds have appeared on the water screen. Roche Clenmending have won all three games, Fadan has two wins and one loss, Raifunen has lost all three games, and Cynthia has one win and two losses. Roche Crenmending qualified as 1st in Group A and will face 2nd place in Group C in the knockout round, while Fadan qualified 2nd in Group A and will face 1st place in Group D in the knockout round.

Immediately after that, the Group B match began. The first match in Group B was played by No. 2-ranked Gafreřák and No.7-ranked Diaz, both of whom had a one-win and one-loss record. Gafreshak's team deliberately lost due to a match-fixing in the first round, while Diaz also lost to Tyrone in the first round. As a result, the situation in Group B has become relatively complicated, and who can qualify in the end will depend on the result of the next match between Tyrone and Goode. If Tyrone loses to Goode, then Gafreshak and Diaz will be fighting for top of the group, and if Tyrone wins against Goode, they will be fighting for another place in the group. In either case, there is no room for error, so this one became a rare fair matchup in the third round.

After intense preparations, the orc commanders of Gafreshak's team and the orc warriors of Diaz's team began to face up in the ring. The Diaz team obviously knew that their attack was not as good as the opponent's orc leader, so they made a special fuss about defense, and every time the orc commander attacked, the orc warrior would light up with a defensive light, which was an incidental skill of enchantment and jewelry. And when the two sides attack, although the attack of the orc warriors is at a disadvantage, there is a certain probability that they can interrupt the opponent's attack, which is the function of the glyph.

However, the Gafreshak team did not fall behind because they were tactically targeted, and instead the orcs led each attack to leave their opponents with minor or severe injuries. Even if the orc warriors have a strong defense and interruption effect, the attack of the orc commander is to rely on force to crush the opponent, and I can only break it with one force. Such a powerful attack power is not only the power of the orc commander itself, but also a large part of the glyphs, potions, fists, and enchantments. The tactics of Gafreshak's team are already obvious, their orc commanders have an advantage in attack power, so all the support means are used to continue to strengthen the attack and make the strength stronger.

Leah looked at the battle on the field solemnly, and said slowly, "In the previous two games of Gafreshak's team, the first round was a fake game and deliberately lost, and the opponent in the second round was too weak to see the real strength, I always thought that they only relied on the orc commander to get the second place in the qualifying round, but now it seems that the six auxiliary professions of their team are not weak." ”

Darko kept looking at the white-eyed man in the hat on Gafreshak's team, "Especially their inscriptionist, judging from this game, he also has a pretty deep understanding of offensive glyphs." ”

Kevin suddenly asked, "How does it compare to you?"

Darko was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "I'm not as good as him in attacking glyphs, but a sustained game can't just look at attacks, overall, it's evenly divided." ”

Phyllis grinned and patted Darko on the shoulder, "That's fine, what are you worried about, even if we meet Gafreřak in the knockout round, we will definitely win." ”

While a few people were talking, the situation on the field changed again, and the orc warriors of the Diaz team were gradually beaten to the point that they could only parry, and had no power to fight back, and the game had lost its suspense here, even if the orc warriors of the Diaz team had a high defense, it was impossible to defeat the other party without fighting back. When the time of the magic clock jumped to 22 minutes, the orc commander slammed his fist directly into the face of the orc warrior through the layers of defense, and the orc warrior of the Diaz team stumbled under his feet and finally lay on his back. Team Gafreřak wins!

Many of the matches in the third round were rigged by the Gafreshak family's casinos to play match-fixing, but it was their own family's representative team and opponent who won the battle in a dignified manner, and it has to be said that things always developed full of drama.

The second game of Group B was supposed to be a battle between Team Tyrone and Team Good, but the audience did not wait for the players of the two teams to appear, but the chief referee walked up to the stage and announced, "Because the orc warriors of Team Goode were injured too much in the last game, which made this game unplayable, Team Goode announced that they abstained, and Team Tyrone won." ”

As soon as the chief referee finished speaking, there were calls for match-fixing from the stands. Darko and the others glanced at each other, Kevin shrugged and said, "I don't think this game is necessarily a fake game, after all, what the orc warriors of the Goode team were injured in the last game are obvious to all, and they are not as shady as the Cynthia team, even if they are replaced by ordinary orcs, it is a shame to participate, it is better to abstain." ”

Darko also agreed with Kevin's statement, "In the last game, the Goode team used savage tearing glyphs on their orc warriors, and the lacerations and physical exhaustion caused by such glyphs were greater than the damage caused by attacks, and it is normal that they cannot recover." ”

Wendy sighed lightly, "I wanted to see the game of Team Tyrone again, but I didn't expect Team Goode to abstain." ”

Otto scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Why are you watching their game?" Team Tyrone is only ranked 9th in qualifying, so it's not very strong at all. ”

Wendy shook her head and said, "The Tyrone team has beaten the Diaz team who are higher in the ranking than them before, which shows that they have a lot of potential. And if we qualify as the second in Group D, we will meet the first in Group B, and now it seems that it will be Tyrone, so we can't take our opponents too seriously. ”

Several people heard Wendy say this, only to realize that the situation in Group B had become clear, and looked at the order of the elimination rounds in the water curtain on the ring. In Group B, Gafreshak won two and lost one, Diaz won one and lost two, Tyrone won two and lost one, and Goode lost one win and two losses. Gafreshak and Tyrone have the same winning situation, and need to compare the goal difference time in the number of wins and losses, and the winner with the less goal difference time.

Gafreshak, defeated Goode in 5 minutes in the first round, -5, beat Tyrone in 0 minutes in the second round, +0, and beat Diaz in 22 minutes in the third round, +22, and the total score is 17 after adding up. Tyrone, defeated Diaz in 16 minutes in the first round, +16, lost to Gafreshak in 0 minutes in the second round, recorded -0, and Gude abstained in the third round, adding up to a total of 16. In terms of goal difference, Tyrone won by one minute and finished first in the group, while Gafreshak could only settle for second in the group, which was unexpected by many.

In this way, Tyrone successfully counterattacked and qualified as the first place in Group B, and will face the second place in Group D in the knockout round, while the Gafreshak team qualified in the second place in Group B, and the knockout round will face the first place in Group C.
