Tokyo, one of the most prosperous cities in Asia, has experienced the baptism of World War III, not only did it not disappear in the war, but due to the influx of people who lost their homes around it, the city area has expanded again, and now it has exceeded 3,000 square kilometers, which can be called one of the largest steel forests of modern civilization.

Liu Ye and his entourage arrived in the city on a supersonic passenger plane on this sunny and mild afternoon, the bird-like terminal of Tokyo International Airport was shining in the sun, and many unmanned operation vehicles were running back and forth on the wide runway, some were transporting goods, some were cleaning the road.

The more delicate the machine, the more afraid it is of subtle disturbances, and if a large mechanical bird that can fly at the speed of sound exceeds the speed of sound, if it rolls a small pebble during take-off and landing, it will cause unpredictable consequences.

Liu Ye walked along the pedestrian passage towards the traffic station, Shi Lan followed beside him, and Tang Yin and Ouyang Gu walked side by side in front.

Looking at the dark silver seamless walls made of sound-absorbing materials, Liu Ye inexplicably gave birth to a sense of intimacy in his heart, although this is his first time here, but such a highly technological architectural design has been filling his life in the past ten years, Boyun City's technology is at least twenty years ahead of the outside world, and all kinds of high-tech that have just begun to be popularized in the outside world Alas, Boyun City has long been a ubiquitous existence.

For example, this sound-absorbing material is only used here at the airport, and it is also used in his previous apartment in Boyun City.

Soon, they got into a black high-end car, driven by a bald man in a suit and sunglasses, he is a member of the Arima Consortium, the Arima Consortium is the organizer of this rating conference, and it is also the most important funder, controlling a large number of industries, and its economic strength in the world is slightly inferior to Cheng Wenqiu's high-tech, but it is also an extremely large consortium.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liu Ye really found it hard to believe that such a group was actually controlled by a magician family, of course, the rest of the group didn't know that half of their board of directors were magicians, and they didn't know that one-tenth of their colleagues were magicians.

Ordinary people and magicians coexist under the same roof like this, and I have to say that it is really a strange harmony.

However, the status of the two is completely unequal, magicians know everything about science, but ordinary people don't know anything about magicians. There are so many ways for a magician to want to stay undetected.

As Ouyang Gu said yesterday, situations like the Arima family are not uncommon these days, since modern science has completely changed the way people live. Although there are still many diehards who resist technology among magicians, they are no longer the absolute majority as before, and many magicians have reached into the world of science, but because of the rules of the Magical Association prohibiting the disclosure of their identities, they have not really stepped into the public eye.

After all, who can resist the temptation to buy something in any country without leaving their home.

Gone are the former sorcerers' superiority over ordinary people, and they are seeking a new sense of superiority.

The scenery outside the car window quickly faded, the car drove into a tunnel, the light dimmed for a moment, Liu Ye leaned against the glass and yawned, stopped his boring thinking, and opened the map of Tokyo.

Before today, he thought that the rating conference was held at the headquarters of the Asian Magic Association, until Ouyang Gu told him in the morning that he was going to Tokyo, instead of going to the Asian Magic Federation through the clairvoyant mirror, that he learned that the original location of the annual rating conference was not fixed, but by the regional chapters of the association to compete fairly, this time in Tokyo, and the last one was in Sydney.

The place they were going to was called the Rosewood Realm, in the northwest corner of Tokyo, on the map was a war ruin covering an area of dozens of square kilometers, and the magicians had secretly rebuilt this ruined city, and when it was completed, it was covered with an enchantment, so that it still looked like a ruin from the outside.

The satellite does not take any abnormal pictures, and ordinary people passing by will be guided to other places unconsciously by the perceptual interference technique, and there is no possibility of being discovered here.

The car drove through a small obstacle, Liu Ye saw a faint purple light flashing outside the window, and the scenery outside changed suddenly, which was completely different from the gloomy ruins before, and the sky inside the enchantment was clear and prosperous.

In addition to the main venue in the center of the magnificent dragon, it is also the settlement of several magic families, and the buildings in the city are antique and look quite charming, but compared to the outside city, there are many fewer pedestrians on the road.

This was the first time Liu Ye had come to the city of magicians, and everything was full of novelty for him.

After a while, the car stopped in front of a very classical Japanese-style building, and the house was completely wooden and did not look like a product of this era at all.

"Welcome to the world of rosewood. The door opened automatically, and they were greeted by a woman in a purple kimono, wearing heavy makeup and a traditional bun.

As the Century Dawn, a direct organization of the Asian Council of the Magic Association, Liu Ye and his party have gained enough respect.

"Courteous. The four of them returned the salute one after another.

"This is the residence prepared by the Arima family for Century Dawn," the lady bowed slightly to Tang Yin and Ouyang Gu, "The two of you are already familiar with the road, I won't repeat the superfluous, please feel free." ”

"Ms. Genye, long time no see. Ouyang Gu smiled faintly, "It's been almost two years." ”

"I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same. Arima Xuanye smiled and glanced at Shi Lan and Liu Ye who were standing behind the two, "It seems that there are successors to Century Dawn, I wish you all the best in the rating conference." Ladies and gentlemen, the little woman will retire first. ”

The dark blue magic array under Xuanye's feet unfolded, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

They went to their rooms.

It was night, the moon was clear and the wind was clear, Liu Ye stood in the courtyard and looked at the peach blossoms on the ground, thinking about the rating conference that would start tomorrow.

He didn't worry much about his grades, as a newcomer who participated for the first time, as long as it wasn't too bad, it shouldn't cause any trouble to Century Dawn, not to mention that he had an original book in his hand, and it wouldn't be rotten.

Behind him there was the sound of footsteps.

"Liu Ye. "It's Shilan.

"Can't sleep?"

"Hmm. ”

"Worried about tomorrow's assessment?"

"I don't want to go unrecognized for the results of my efforts during this time. Shilan drew a small circle on the ground on her toes, "Although I know that even if I lose the first game, like I lost to Monica last year, they won't say anything about me, but I don't like that." ”

"Then go and win. ”

"Huh?"

"If you don't want to lose, just win, it's as simple as that. Liu Ye smiled slightly, flipped through his hand, and took out a book with an ice blue cover, "This is for you." ”

"This is ......" Shilan felt the amazing magic contained in the book, "the original text?"

"Yes, "Snow Song", your grandfather has never asked me for it, so he has always put it on me. Liu Ye stuffed the book into Shi Lan's arms, "As the most powerful magic weapon, I believe it will definitely be able to help you." ”

"But don't you need this?"

"I don't need to, being unobtrusive is what I'm looking for. Also, we don't have to be playing at the same time, maybe I'll be in Group B. ”

Shi Lan nodded, and shook her head again, since Liu Ye came back from Europe, the feeling he gave Shi Lan has become much more aggressive, although his tone, personality, and habits have not changed much, but this feeling is real.

Such Liu Ye, after experiencing Ouyang Gu's special training, if she is finally rated as B-level, she will not accept it no matter what.

And as long as he enters the A level, he will definitely compete with himself at the same time, or even compete on the same stage.

At that point, they are opponents.

"Go back and don't think so much. Liu Ye touched Shilan's head and walked towards the house, "Language is a very weak thing, and tomorrow's result will depend on practical actions to strive for, come on." ”

"Come on. Shilan whispered a sentence and walked back to her room.
