At the entrance to the ring area, there was a staff member who sealed the space equipment of the four people, and Otto had already understood the rules of the game, so he didn't wear that space belt, otherwise his pants would have fallen off if he was taken away.

You are not allowed to use your own items during the competition, and everything must use the raw materials provided by the Alchemy Guild. That's why Wendy can't use the magic essence she carries, and she needs to disassemble it by herself.

It is called the ring, but it is actually a circular area with a radius of 100 meters, in which are paved with bluestone floor tiles that are one meter square. The circular ring is surrounded by a five-metre-high iron wall, and the stepped stands are above the walls to ensure the absolute safety of the spectators. At this time, the ring was already full of spectators making noisy noises, and there was a prominent area in the center of the west stand, which was the main stand for the high-level leaders of the Alchemy Guild, and at the front of the main stand were six wide seats, all of which were still empty at this time.

Liya and the other four walked around the ring and found their own area, which was already stacked with various magical materials and tools. Along the way they saw a lot of players from other teams, and it seemed that they were the last to enter. The orcs of each team have been tethered to their respective positions and waited, and signs have been hung to prevent confusion, and the entire ring has been divided into seventy-two areas, corresponding to seventy-two teams. This ring could have been a huge ring that could support a hundred people in a melee battle, and even if it was divided into more than seventy areas, it would be more than enough. There are more than twenty orc warriors in these areas, and it seems that these are also powerful teams, and being able to get warriors from various ways is a reflection of their strength.

After some searching, several people finally found their team of orcs, and the ground in that area was marked with the words "Team Darko". Wendy felt a little strange, she noticed that all the eyes and chatters seemed to be focused in a certain direction, Wendy raised a little height, looked in that direction, and then exclaimed, "It's the orc commanders!

At the slave market, in order to refuse the orc warriors presented by Adam, Phyllis lied that she had bought the orc commander. But no one expected that a team would actually get the orc leader.

"That's Milley and Joyas, the team of the Gafreshak family. Liya also stood on tiptoe to look over, and said to herself suspiciously, "It's really strange, the Gafreshak family is of the precept priest bloodline, and they don't have any advantages in auxiliary professions, and there are only these two people in their family who have the strength to participate in the Alchemy Grand Prix, they have never participated in the previous years, why did they come to join in the fun this time?"

Although the Gafreshak family is also a family of legendary blood, their bloodline abilities are focused on enhancing the various skills of the priest, and have little to do with the auxiliary profession in alchemy. In a similar situation, there are also major families of the Holy Beast bloodline, which focus on enhancing their physique and strength, and have no advantage in magic. Families like Phoenix, Stuart, Cappadocia and other families have taken the route of war and have never participated in the Alchemy Grand Prix. Although there is no advantage in blood, personal talent is not necessarily inferior, and Milley and Joyas are two of the heirs of the Anjou family with strong magical talents.

Kevin also looked at the direction of the orc leader, his face was slightly solemn, "There are only two of them in the Gafreshak family who have the strength to participate in the competition, then the other three people must not be members of their family, but helpers from outside! They must want to rely on the advantage of the orc leader to win the championship." ”

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, so instead of coming to the competition, it's better to sell the orc commander for a good price. Otto also agreed, he has been working as a sparring partner for the orc warriors for the past month, and he also knows a lot about the combat effectiveness of the orcs.

Wendy agreed, and made a mechanical hoarse male voice with a blast bomb, "Those two are only at a high-level level, even if they have a leader, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to advance in the knockout round." ”

The Alchemy Grand Prix itself is to reflect the role of alchemy in improving combat effectiveness, and for such a competition, the technology embodied by the armed orcs is the main thing, and the gap in the strength of the orcs themselves is not obvious. The reason why you want to buy orc warriors is actually because of the carrying capacity, not for the combat effectiveness of the orcs themselves. However, although the orc commander has a stronger carrying capacity than the orc warrior, the large glyph that a master inscription master can copy, the carrying capacity of the orc warrior is enough, and the actual role of the orc commander in the game is not as great as it seems on the surface.

Leah was still a little worried, "Anyway, it's also an orc commander who is one level higher than the orc warriors, and it may become a fierce rival for us, so let's be careful." ”

Wendy lowered her height again, "There are three other people on the Anjou team, two of whom I know, namely Master Herbalists and Master Enchanters, but the other one is a bit strange. ”

"I don't know him, but I saw him yesterday at the casino. His luck is good, but he doesn't see any technical content, and it is likely that he has prophetic abilities. As soon as Kevin said this, he suddenly remembered Dacko again, and he was silent.

Wendy hesitated for a moment, then hesitated, "I didn't mean that, I always felt like I had seen him somewhere, but I didn't have a clue. ”

Leah looked at it for a moment, then turned her head, "It's unlikely, the man's features are so obvious, if you've seen it before, you'll definitely remember it." ”

Wendy fell silent, dispersing the sonic bombs in her cloak and saying no more. Kevin's gaze looked in one direction consciously, and he saw that there was also a gaze in that direction, it was Android! There was also an orc warrior standing in the center of Android's team, and it looked more robust than an ordinary orc warrior. Android was also a little surprised to see that there were only four people on Kevin's side, but he immediately laughed and pondered thoughtfully.

At this time, two rows of guards lined up into the entrance, all of them dressed in shiny enchanted full-body armor, looking very powerful, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the field. Five people then walked in the direction of the main stand, and the eight gates around the Colosseum gradually closed.

"Behold, the upper echelons of the Alchemy Guild have entered. Leah's eyes narrowed, and she sighed again, "The venue is closed, and they still haven't made it back in the end. ”

After the door closed, an amplified magic array took shape above the Colosseum, and an old but mellow voice came from inside, and it could be seen that this was the voice of the old man in the center of the five people who had just entered.

"Hello to the players and everyone who came to watch the game. I'm the president of the Alchemy Guild, Maxi Stuart, and I'm glad to see another Alchemy Grand Prix taking place, and this is the 751st edition. Time flies, I still remember the year I won the championship, it was the 740th Grand Prix, and when I realized the change of numbers, I realized that I was already an old man in his seventies, haha. ”

Maxi's words amused the audience and eased the tense atmosphere between the various teams in the venue. Maxi then began to talk about the origin, development, and change of the Alchemy Grand Prix, as well as the important role it played.

"Are those five people all grandmaster-level bigwigs, and what professions do they have?" Otto, who was not very familiar with the Alchemy Guild, asked Kevin in a low voice.

"The bald old man sitting in the center is the president of the Alchemy Guild, Maxi Stuart, a grandmaster-level inscriptionist, and the other four are all vice presidents, although it seems that the vice presidents are not valuable, but in fact, they are also the best among the corresponding auxiliary professions. The silver-haired man was Lesotho Gafreshak, a master enchanter, the expressionless dead face was Walker Nikecumens, a master disintegrator, the half-closed old woman was Victoria Phoenix, a master herbalist, and the middle-aged man with a monocle was Raymond Roche Clonmentin, a master apothecary. Originally, there was also a Thor, Cappadocia, who was a master jeweler, but it is said that he has not been in good health in recent years and has not been seen for a long time. Kevin pointed to a few people on the stage and then said, "For a support class, as long as you have enough talent and hard work, it is possible to reach the master level." However, it is extremely difficult to go from the master level to the grandmaster level, because it involves the understanding and application of the law, and it is impossible to become a grandmaster without reaching the holy level. ”

"Oh. Otto sighed, "It turns out that they are all members of several large families." ”

Liya walked up to Otto and shook her finger, "That's not the case, the selection and appointment model within the Alchemy Guild has always been capable, and there are many people outside the nine major families in the high-level of the Alchemy Guild in history, and even people without any family background have sat in the position of president." But after all, it is only a few, and with the help of bloodline talents, they will be stronger than those who do not have it in all aspects, including the auxiliary professions, so the current situation of the six high-level people are all from big families. ”

Otto asked, "The person you said who has no background but sits in the chairman's position is the legendary powerhouse Maurice, right?"

"That's right, it's Inyu Morris, who became a legendary magister, and he's my idol. Leah said excitedly, "His deeds show that even if you don't have any background and bloodline, you can become a legend just by your own efforts! In fact, there are many such examples, after Thor of the vice presidents became seriously ill, there were rumors that the next vice president was likely to be the unknown ......" Liya said that she suddenly realized something, glanced at Kevin next to her with her spare eyes, and let go when she saw that he didn't react.

Perhaps Maxi's speech was too boring, Wendy turned around and explained, "That's the relationship between the churches, the guilds, and the families. Churches, guilds and other forces monopolize all kinds of resources, but they need the strong to join in to strengthen their own power. The major families have infinite potential, and there may be geniuses with strong bloodline talents at any time, and their development also needs a platform. Because of this, the two have reached a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. At the same time, the two sides are also in a relationship of equal trade, and there may be members of the same family in both a power and its hostile forces. Of course, this kind of equal trading is limited to the privilege of the nine major families, and if it is those small families, they can only choose to be attached to a certain force. ”

Kevin added, "It's also a privilege of the big family, and each faction has its own people, just like not putting your eggs in one basket." For example, when the Grim Reaper was destroyed by the gods, the Nike Remones family was able to stay out of the matter, which is the best example, and the small families that attached to the Church of Death were all wiped out without exception. ”

After all, Otto came out of the Venus plane, and he was not very clear about the pattern of the churches in Amecia, and after digesting the information Wendy said for a while, he asked again, "But now in the Alchemy Guild, it is the Stuart family who is the president, and the other families are only deputies, can these people serve Maxi?"

"That's a good question!" Kevin seemed to be very interested in this matter, "Several big families actually fight each other openly and secretly, and the six high-level families are all from major families, and they are grandmasters of different auxiliary professions, so they can't compare who is strong and who is weak. Who will be the president has become a big question. Seeing that Wendy and Leah's attention also turned, Kevin cleared his throat and continued, "Among the thirteen churches at that time, the popes of six of the churches were saint-level powerhouses, so they also had a greater right to speak, compared to the other seven churches, they were inferior, and the interests of various places would be slightly inferior. At that time, the presidents of the Mercenary Guild and the Magic Guild were also saint-level, so the president of the Alchemy Guild also needed a person of the same level to sit in charge, and Maxi successfully sat on the position of president. In fact, Maxi can become the president mainly because he is a saint-level powerhouse, and it has little to do with his inscription master skills. ”

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, his neck suddenly shrank, and out of thin air he felt like he was being watched, as if a pair of eyes emitting strong light were shining on him. Kevin jerked his head back just in time to see Maxi in the main stand still speaking, and his gaze turned away, but Kevin knew that the feeling just now must have come from him.

Leah noticed Kevin's abnormality and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Kevin shook his head, and then thought to himself, "The saint-level powerhouse really didn't give it for nothing, but fortunately he didn't speak ill of him behind his back." ”

In the meantime, Maxi's speech was also nearing its end," ...... Next, we will leave time for our contestants to interpret the excitement of alchemy with wonderful competitions. ”

Then came the chief referee of the Alchemy Grand Prix, who briefly explained the rules and precautions of each stage of the Grand Prix, and then shifted the topic to the upcoming qualifying round.

“…… The purpose of qualifying is to make a preliminary arrangement of the strength of the players, which will be directly linked to the subsequent group stage groupings, and it is also the time for each team to show their strength. The rules of the ranked match are very simple, each team has half an hour to arm the orc warriors, and then their attack power is measured, and they are ranked according to the strength of their attack......"

These rules are already familiar to every team, and the chief referee is actually explaining to the audience, and when he finally finishes the explanation, the players of each team are already ready to go, and the Colosseum is all silent for a while, and even the spectators in the stands are infected by the atmosphere and become silent.

The chief referee began to break the suffocating silence, and then the brilliance of magic instantly filled the ring, and the contestants showed their abilities and began to race against the clock.
