Du Yuhan hurriedly let go of his hand and straightened the folds on his clothes, "Please come in." ”

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and a tall man with a hood stood in the doorway. When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he opened his mouth in surprise, "Kared! ”

"Hello." The man took off his hat and smiled his trademark grace.

"Why are you here?"

"I asked the guild people for your address, so I took the liberty to come and visit."

Du Yuhan twitched the corners of his mouth.

Answer the question is not asked, avoid the important and light.

But just think about it. Wagner once said that this competition invited the elite of various countries, so how could he not be on the list as the chief modeler of the Al Empire? No wonder the teacher's face was so ugly before, with such a heavyweight here, if there is really any accident, it is estimated that the entire main city is not enough for him to toss......

The moment he entered the room, Khared hesitated. Du Yuhan thought that he was just polite, and greeted him warmly. I didn't notice anything unusual when I looked up, but finally walked in. He greeted Kevin next to him, "Long time no see, don't come unharmed." ”

Unexpectedly, Kevin didn't reply, only stared at each other in shock, his azure eyes hovering left and right. Stunned, confused, confused, shocked...... There was also an indescribable anger, and finally the black light looming under his eyes was forced down. It wasn't until Kared was stared at a little uncomfortably that he pulled the corners of his lips with difficulty.

“…… Long time no see. ”

Confused and furrowed, but Kareid quickly shifted his attention again, "I came this time to apologize to you. ”

"Apologize?" Du Yuhan seemed a little confused.

"For the sake of the City Lord's Mansion." With that, Khared pursed his lips.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, smiled dryly and waved his hand, "It's okay, that's not a big deal." ”

"As a host, it is incumbent upon us to make every guest feel at home. But I have offended you, and I am remiss in my duty. Kareid sighed lightly, his face full of self-reproach, "Although you have generously chosen not to pursue it, it only makes me feel more guilty." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart."

"Then why don't you say goodbye?"

"Uh......"

Du Yuhan was speechless.

When he left, he had hesitated to say goodbye to Khared, but he immediately stopped thinking about it when he remembered the strange look in his eyes that seemed to owe him millions. It stands to reason that their friendship is still shallow, but they didn't expect the other party to come to the door this time. In the face of this delicate "old friend", I really don't know what to do with him now.

"Isn't that time pressing, you know, I'm going to rush back to report!"

After a long time of talking, Cared reluctantly accepted his clumsy reasoning, even though he complained, and the two chatted and exchanged frank ideas. From the application and development trend of the model, to the cost performance of the famous snack bar nearby, we imagined the future with each other. In fact, the overall chat content is nothing more than two words - ripping.

Emma! He never knew he could blow so well!

It wasn't until the sun went down that the two sides encouraged each other again before they got up and said goodbye.

"It's getting late, so I can't bother. So......" Standing in front of the gate, Careid bowed slightly, "I wish you a good race." ”

"Thank you." Seeing that the other party finally said goodbye, Du Yuhan showed a relieved smile.

It's too stressful to be with this uncle, although the attitude of the people is even kind, but for some reason, he just feels very uncomfortable. He thought, this is probably the "eight characters do not match" in the book of fate.

"Goodbye." But when Cared said goodbye to Kevin as usual, he found that the other party was staring at him fixedly. The gaze was like looking at a dead object, full of provocation, full of hatred.

Kared couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a subtle atmosphere in the room.

"Kevin?" Secretly pulling the corners of the other party's clothes, Du Yuhan was confused.

Having said that, this kind of superficial work of vanity and grievances is usually dealt with by him, but today he is unusual, just sitting quietly next to him without saying a word, what is this......

"Sorry, distracted." Kevin chuckled, and there was a taste of insincerity in his heart, "The happy time with old friends is always short-lived, and I hope to connect more in the future." ”

"I'm looking forward to meeting next time." On the contrary, when Kared returned home, he didn't care about his rude behavior, and after a few polite words, he planned to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Kevin, who had been silent, suddenly opened his lips and called the other party.

"Oh, yes."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"I heard that your chess skills are good."

Chess? What chess skills?

How does he know that people are good at chess?

A sentence came out of nowhere, Du Yuhan said that he was very incomprehensible, he wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at the other party, but Kevin only smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of answering.

Kareid was stunned for a moment, and he didn't seem to be sure what it meant, so he only smiled modestly, "It's too famous." ”

Glancing behind Carred without a trace, Kevin's smile deepened, "Have a chance for us to have a conversation?" ”

"I'm more than happy to." After performing the standard mage salute, Kared put his hood back on and boarded the carriage behind the gate.

Seeing the carriage gradually disappear at the end of his vision, Du Yuhan poked Kevin's thin waist, "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”

"Nothing." Suddenly, Kevin suddenly realized that he slapped his palms, "Ah, I have something urgent to go out." ”

"Now?"

"Well, I suddenly remembered that something had been bought. By the way, give me the ring. ”

“？ What are you going to buy? ”

After a pause, Kevin smiled meaningfully.

"Swift grass."

Three days later, the final of the model artist competition officially began.

*****

On the day of the competition, the stadium was bustling.

The auditorium was full of people, and some spectators who couldn't buy tickets still waited outside the stadium without giving up, just to receive first-hand information about the event faster.

Although there were many staff members in the stadium to maintain order, the moment the players entered the stadium, there was a small chaos in the crowd, and the frantic noise almost toppled the dome of the arena.

"Damn! It's noisy! Covering his ears hard, Vic was annoyed by the shrill screams of the girl beside him.

Annoyed by the noise around him, Raphael's face turned black as the bottom of a pot.

Originally, he got the position of the aristocratic box, but a certain second goods asked him to change to a standard seat on the grounds of "no atmosphere". Although the "handling fee" is very high, it is another thing to be there in person.

He suddenly felt that his asking price was too low!

"Is it noisy? Pretty good! On the contrary, when Heywood saw such a lively scene, his emotions were also aroused, and he kept looking around. Tsk, it's a pity that Bruno's guy has something important to do, otherwise he would have brought his second brother to watch the game. Even if you can't understand it, it's good to join in the fun.

As time passed, the waiting crowd became more and more impatient, and there were faint restless ups and downs.

"Why hasn't it started yet, how long has it been?"

"Like, when?"

"What's going on?"

The complaints came one after another, and under the guidance of everyone, the honor guard exclusive to the city lord was late.

After a grand welcome ceremony, after the dignitaries and referees from various countries entered the field in turn, a deep voice came from all directions.

"Quiet!" The faint realm fell from the sky like a transparent net, pressing the hearts of the people, and after a while, the originally noisy venue gradually quieted down.

The opening ceremony was presided over by the fat chairman Du Yuhan had seen, and the lengthy speech and unchanged opening remarks made the audience a little bored to listen. But in order to witness this triennial event, everyone had to be patient and listen to the host read out the rules and precautions of the competition.

And Du Yuhan, who was standing at the end of the team, like the other protagonists of this event, stood silently behind the president and lined up, accepting everyone's comments. Although the expression on his face did not change, judging by the tense muscles, his mood did not seem to be as calm as it seemed.

Thinking about it, being stared at by these thousands of eyes, it is estimated that few people can do it without changing their faces.

After adjusting his breath deeply, he felt that the muscles in his shoulders were relaxed, and Du Yuhan moved his fingers and gently rubbed his ring finger. On his knobby fingers, a black ring carved from the scraps of dark marble stone was on his knuckled fingers, and the fingertips depicted deep and shallow notches on the head, and his heart gradually calmed down.

There was a pair of rings, and the owner of the other one, after handing over the ring to him, went out at noon the day before yesterday on the pretext of being in a hurry, and still has not returned, and has not even participated in today's entrance ceremony.

As a mature adult, even if he will not be upset by this, it is too hypocritical to say that there is no dissatisfaction at all.

Depend on! What could be more important than him going to the final!

Even Raphael, the early riser of the Death Star, got up early this day and specially prepared a touching and heartfelt encouragement breakfast for him - but for the sake of his life, Heywood turned it over and threw it away - his lover was actually absent, and he didn't even leave a word of encouragement!

Although he was slandered about this, with the trust between the "old husband and wife", he believed that Kevin must have his reason for leaving at this juncture. Anyway, this is his game, and even if Kevin is there, it probably won't help.

In the long wait, Du Yuhan looked around boredly. The black head in the audience made people nervous again, and in order not to affect his thoughts, he glanced at the only contestant next to him.

Since the ranking is based on the height of the players, next door to Du Yuhan, who is standing at the very end, is an old acquaintance who is almost the same height as him-Reilly.

Looking at it without a trace, he was surprised to find that compared to the last time they met, the momentum on Reilly's body was getting stronger and stronger. If it was just cold and detached before, then now it's domineering. And I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that the other party looks darker.

Could it be because there is a breakthrough in the ranks?

But I don't seem to have heard of the skin darkening after upgrading......

Oh, and my face seems to be darker, too.

…… Well?

Suddenly, as if he had already noticed his gaze, Reilly not only did not dodge, but looked at it generously. However, Du Yuhan was caught peeping, and suddenly coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Hello."

Unexpectedly, Rey didn't take the opportunity to talk, only glanced at him lightly, his eyes were full of inquiry, as if he was estimating the value of a commodity, cold.

This calm and seriously provocative gaze made Du Yuhan feel unhappy.

What's the matter with this man?

Greet him and ignore people, forget it, and still have this attitude.

Silence spilled between the two. They stared straight at each other as if they were stronger, not saying a word. It reminded him of the boring little game between boys when he was a kid - whoever blinks first loses.

Suddenly felt that such a move was a bit childish, and just as he scratched the top of his head and wanted to admit defeat, Reilly actually raised a faint smile for the first time.

"Hello."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and the shallow curvature was carried with disdain and contempt, which made people feel a deep chill. Du Yuhan's hair stood on end, feeling like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake, and his innate intuition made him subconsciously take half a step back.

"I've heard a lot about you since Franco, and I'd love to talk to you." Ignoring Du Yuhan's stagnation, Reilly said to himself, "It's a pity that because of various reasons, there was no chance again." ”

"Uh, really? That's a shame. Stiffly laughed a few times, Du Yuhan's eyes were a little wandering.

"I finally have the honor to share the stage with you today, and I hope we will do our best." After that, Reilly's smile deepened, and he slowly leaned over and whispered, "No mercy." ”

There was a pang in his heart, and before Du Yuhan could react, there was a sudden burst of warm applause around him.

He hurriedly looked around, and was shocked to realize that there were four or five high-level magicians standing behind him, as if waiting for some instructions.

"Rise!"

The fat man gave an order, and the mages simultaneously used the magic in their bodies and chanted obscure incantations at the same time. In a short time, a complex circle slowly emerged under his feet, moving slowly from slow to fast like gears.

As time passed, the originally scattered small magic circle became blurred, and gradually merged into one, and when the spell was completed, a huge magic circle was laid out on the stone floor, emitting a blue-white light.

This is a one-way teleportation circle with no exact coordinates.

Once a player enters the circle, they will be teleported to any location in the Erlan Rainforest.

After each player teleports, a spiritual imprint will be attached to their body. Not only does this sigil have the spell of surveillance, but it also has a special energy attached to it. When a contestant defeats an opponent, all the spirit imprints on the opponent's body will be transmitted to him. If defeated, the player's spirit imprint will be seized by the opponent and he will be immediately disqualified.

After reaching a certain level of spiritual energy, the player can activate a special circle and teleport back. As for the location of the return to the city, the players need to find it according to their own ability.

Once someone teleports back, the game is over.

Du Yuhan also asked Wagner about the number of opponents he needed to beat, but was pushed off on the grounds that internal regulations could not be informed. He guessed that there were eight people in total, and with his own energy, he would have to defeat three more opponents before he could win.

He sighed silently.

There's a long way to go......

In the fierce applause of the audience, the players entered the teleportation array at one time. But just before Lei Li stepped in, he suddenly turned his head to look at Du Yuhan, his lips moved, and with a bang, after the white mang, he disappeared.

I'll wait for you.

Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, and his fists tightened and tightened. Although he didn't understand why the other party had his eyes on him before the game began, since he had passed five levels and killed six generals all the way, and had worked hard to get to this point, he had no choice but to face the battle head-on.

After adjusting his breath deeply, he slowly walked in under the referee's urging eyes.

A dazzling white light flashed, and the last player entered the arena. The circle erupted with a blinding light, flickering a few times like a breath, and gradually dimmed.
