151. Welcome

When the city lord finished dealing with the guests and finally walked slowly towards them, Kevin's basic information about the city lord had already learned almost everything from those people.

Although the fat man called Ruskin had no agreement with the city lord in private, he still did not dare to do anything in public before hugging his other thick thigh. However, this does not prevent him from treating the two differently. He glanced at the expressionless David, and when he looked at the middle-aged man, a flash of admiration and respect flashed in his eyes.

"Lord of the city, Lord Prince, Princess Daili." Ruskin hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and finally glanced at Ringston who was behind the two of them, and hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Lord." ”

Hearing this, Lingerton's face sank. But in public, he only nodded and didn't say anything, only bent down and respectfully introduced the two parties, "Lord City, this is a high-level model master from Lindote Country, Mr. Du Yuhan." ”

Long before the city lord led the crowd over, Du Yuhan had been secretly observing for a long time, especially the "crazy city lord".

But now after a closer look, he didn't find anything wrong with the other party, except for his younger age, he didn't feel any outrageous behavior at all, which was very different from the crazy image in the mouths of others.

Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

"I've seen the lord of the castle." Du Yuhan said with a smile, his tone did not change in the slightest because the other party was a child who only reached his waist, as if he was facing a real city lord.

Seeing this, David's eyes seemed a little surprised, but he quickly changed to a skeptical look. He looked Du Yuhan up and down unceremoniously, as if he was estimating the strength of the other party.

After a while, he looked sideways at Ringston and spoke nonchalantly.

"That's what you call a modeler? It doesn't look like a big deal! ”

Many nobles who secretly paid attention to the situation here, naturally did not miss the city lord's remarks, and seemed to be very surprised by this.

As a third-level small king city, and when the highest professional in the station is only mid-level, daring to ignore a high-level professional in public is simply self-defeating.

Is the city lord crazy?!

Suddenly, the sounds of conversation around him fell silent.

The more capable the professional, the stronger his self-esteem, even the first and second order mercenaries have their own dignity, not to mention that this is still the most arrogant modeler. Not a single high-level professional would choose to remain indifferent after hearing such remarks. If the other side thinks that this is a provocation to their authority, I am afraid that ......

Rington's face was pale, his mouth open, and his palms were sweating coldly.

City Lord, what's going on? I also told me to treat others well, why did I turn my head and embarrass the guests in public?

Compared with the gossip of other nobles in the lobby, he was more worried about Du Yuhan's sudden attack. With only their group of middle-level professionals, it is estimated that they can't survive a single spell trick of others.

With a few embarrassed dry laughs, Lingston racked his brains, "What the city lord means, I didn't expect Your Excellency to look so young and have such a high attainment, it's really surprising." ”

"I understand below." Although he was surprised by David's unpretentious expression, Du Yuhan did not intend to dwell on this matter, but he was a little more curious about the city lord.

Compared with Lingston's nervousness, David seemed to be a nobody, as if he didn't feel that he had just said something terrible, and still looked at Du Yuhan arrogantly.

Looking at the stinky face that looked like the whole world owed him a debt, Du Yuhan couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

Another little kid who doesn't know the height of the sky......

Vic, who was staying at the hotel and preparing to go to bed, sneezed.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little cold, the middle-aged man behind him looked at a few people with a smile, like a kind uncle next door. "Hello Your Excellency, I am Prince Bain Griffin, and I would like to welcome you on behalf of the city of Toba."

"Your enthusiasm has flattered you, Your Majesty." Kevin smiled and saluted, his eyes wandering away for a while on the other side. He paused when his eyes fell on Prince Bain's female companion.

And the glamorous and noble princess, Dai Li, flashed a touch of surprise in her eyes when her eyes came into contact with Kevin's delicate facial features. Then he smiled charmingly, and under the gaze of everyone, he took the initiative to raise his right hand, "Hello, Your Excellency." ”

Kevin gave a kiss and salute, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was meaningful, "You are still shining today, beautiful lady." ”

Hearing this, an unnatural flush appeared on Dai Li's face.

didn't notice his wife's inappropriateness, Bane raised his glass to greet a few people, and deliberately glanced at Du Yuhan deeply, "I hope you will forgive me for the misunderstanding caused by some trivial things before." ”

Du Yuhan couldn't help but be stunned.

He had always been polite about these courtesies, so he only maintained a polite smile and stood beside Kevin as a background board, not thinking that the other party would bring him up. And the smile on the prince's face made him feel a little inexplicably familiar, but before he remembered where he had seen it, he was interrupted by Ringston's words.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Du Yuhan is a model artist highly recommended by the city lord of Long City, and this time I have come to participate in the model artist competition held in the city, and I believe it will bring great help to our model master group." Ringston took two steps forward, trying to win over the relationship between the two.

"To make the city lord of the first-class royal city praised, I think Your Excellency must have something extraordinary. This place is small and remote, please don't blame you for not being able to use your fists and kicks. Bane chuckled a few times, his eyes showing a bit of anticipation.

"Where, the prince is serious." Although he smiled verbally, Du Yuhan muttered in his heart.

Why does this prince speak so strangely? The mouth is full of admiration and lifting, but the words are driven away.

Is this welcome or not?

However, Du Yuhan didn't care much.

For him, Toba City was destined to be a temporary mission point, and he would leave it as soon as his commission was over. When the time comes, whether the people here welcome him or not has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, he continued to act as Kevin's backdrop, chatting and laughing with these royal relatives.

Seeing that the atmosphere was beginning to familiarize, the unexpected cold scene created by the city lord just now seemed to be just an illusion, and the surrounding nobles found that the good show had come to an end, so they continued their own topic.

Finally, the dinner ended successfully in a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

It's just that after this time, Du Yuhan left a deep psychological shadow on the so-called aristocratic banquet.

*****

After the welcome ceremony, Du Yuhan, with the help of Vice President Saran, officially started the refereeing work of the competition.

In the country of Lindotte, the modeler competition is a national event and a bottom-up way to select talents. However, for the Al Empire, there is no experience in holding such a national-level competition, but many royal cities have been inspired to spontaneously hold similar selection competitions, which can not only find excellent personnel, but also have a certain effect on the tourism economy of the royal city.

Since the highest level in the city is only the intermediate level, the competition held in Toba City this time is only the beginner professional level.

However, despite the fact that its scale is far less than that of Lindotte, it is still well held. And the number of players who came to participate in the competition was quite large, which was comparable to the number of the French division.

The schedule is set according to the competition process of Lindot Country, auditions, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, semi-finals, and finals...... Every match point goes down and doesn't fall. In this way, there are more than 30 big games in total, and more than 80 small games need to be participated.

Du Yuhan originally thought that the so-called competition was nothing more than moving a table and stool in the arena, and the judges commented on the works of the contestants one by one, and finally the highest scorer was promoted.

But after participating in the competition, I found that this was not the case at all.

Du Yuhan looked at the dense scoring options on the parchment with a blank expression.

These include whether the name is atmospheric and deep, whether the modeling structure is beautiful, whether the wiring is average, whether the material is just right, whether the texture can be expressed, and whether the color is matched......

After a cursory count, there were nearly 30 scoring options in a table, all of which were listed in great detail.

If it is just a simple number of scoring criteria, at the end of the work evaluation, there is a clause that requires the judges to make detailed comments and descriptions of the work.

Looking at the large blank space, Du Yuhan felt as if there were millions of winged grass and mud horses galloping by.

Is this a contestant or a referee?!

How can you ask the referee to write an essay after the evaluation?!

I'm illiterate, don't you know?!

Can you still do something practical when you write reports all day long?

Just when Du Yuhan was overwhelmed by those work reports, he was idle and had nothing to do, causing him trouble twice in three days.

In the name of hoping that he could put forward more opinions on modeling techniques, nearly half of the audition works were placed in the category of his responsibility. Looking at the nearly half-meter-high review report, Du Yuhan stubbornly suppressed the urge to burn it down, and sat down to score carefully.

For the next three weeks, he was tormented by all sorts of reports to the point of tears, and in the end, he had to ask Kevin to help with the most damn part of the review, and the damn pile of submissions was settled.

It wasn't until later that he realized that the person who made this suggestion was the damned Ruskin!

Du Yuhan, who learned the truth, immediately ran to the back garden of the guild in a fit of anger and blasted Ruskin's white jade statue into slag with fireball magic.

Ruskin, who rushed to hear the news, was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, but when he saw that the portrait he had carefully built was blown into powder by a spell that was only the size of a fist, his face instantly turned white, and the eyes that looked at Du Yuhan became a little different.

"Ah, I'm sorry. When roasting sweet potatoes in the afternoon, the fire was accidentally turned off. Du Yuhan grinned gloomily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "You don't mind, right?" ”

Ruskin took a few steps back in horror, shook his head vigorously to show that he didn't pay attention at all, and ran away without a trace.

Later, under Saran's euphemistic reminder, he learned that among the only seven or eight mid-level modelers, that Ruskin was actually the highest-ranking among them. And the statue that was not left by him was also a stone statue that Ruskin specially built for himself.

Thinking of that lifelike statue, it is no wonder that he dared to speak wildly to the chairman at the banquet, it turned out that he really had some strength.

But......

Du Yuhan sneered.

A model artist who has not yet broken through the intermediate and advanced level dares to spread wild in front of him, if the other party dares to come to find trouble without knowing whether he is alive or dead, he will definitely give the other party an unforgettable lesson!
