Chapter 127: The Semi-Final Begins (2-in-1)

Don't say that, big brother. \*kanshugecom^\ reading ^ pavilion*" Chongyang felt a little astringent. realized that he was in his heart, and he didn't take into account Luo Yang's feelings around him.

Seeing that Chongyang was working hard to protect his family, but he could only take care of the family affairs and take care of the details of food and daily life, Luo Yang actually felt sad. However, he tried not to let this mood show up, which only increased Chongyang's troubles.

It wasn't until Chongyang brought back a figure who had the ability to assist him in the game that Luo Yang's deeply buried emotions were finally drawn out and he said the above words.

I'm sorry, I can only watch you bear everything, I can't really share it for you, it's a useless big brother.

Luo Yang's expression and eyes faintly conveyed such a meaning, and he looked lost.

"Big brother, no matter how far I go, I am the youngest son of the Bright family, your younger brother. Chongyang stroked Luo Yang's shoulder and said, "So don't say that kind of thing...... You know, if it weren't for you and everyone in my family, I wouldn't be standing here right now. ”

When he was at his lowest, when he was the most desperate, his family never gave up on him. If it weren't for that distant and warm and selfless one, Chongyang felt that he would definitely not be able to survive six years of repetition, and he would not have encountered the Flame Demon, let alone everything after birth.

No matter how far you go, no matter how hard you have to work, there is always a home behind you. Whenever he returns, his home will be open and fully embraced.

This is the most fundamental confidence for Chongyang to face any challenge alone.

Luo Yang felt the temperature conveyed by Chongyang's palm, nodded silently, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

"It's been a long time since we've had a drink. Come and drink it tonight. At the same time, it was also regarded as a welcome to Caesar's non-commissioned officer. Chongyang simply gave himself a holiday. Have fun with your brothers.

Luo Yang smiled: "Okay." ”

Behind Chongyang, Caesar's non-commissioned officer begins: Stand upright and look at the temporary boss and his brother in front. Feel the emotional atmosphere in between. A soft look flashed across his grim face.

Night. Luo Yang and Gaiasis jointly cooked a table full of feasts. For four big men and a kitten to feast on.

"Cheers to the third brother's victory in the preliminary round!" Luo Yang shouted. Toast first.

Chongyang gladly agreed. Start with a toast. Then he fought with Luo Yang and Gaiasis successively. In the end, the Caesar non-commissioned officer was also drawn into the battle.

Eat and drink while talking. After the four men were slightly drunk, the atmosphere was extremely warm with each other.

Especially the non-commissioned officer Caesar, who seemed to be very taciturn on the surface, after a few glasses of wine, two ruddy words floated on his pale face, and he gushed endlessly, telling a lot of anecdotes, including gossip among nobles, wonderful rumors in the market, and so on.

Chongyang and the others listened to it with relish, just like listening to a story, and they laughed and even applauded when they encountered wonderful places.

Xiao Jin was dissatisfied with being excluded by several people, and insisted on drinking the wonderful liquid "wine" that seemed to be delicious. As a result, Chongyang gave it a cup, let it play Tai Chi and take the Bagua steps, hit the table legs with dazzles, fell to the ground softly, and fell asleep.

In the end, Luo Yang fell to the ground first, and then Sergeant Caesar finally gave up. The drunken Chongyang only barely remembered that he and Gaiasis had cleaned up the mess and said some more words......

......

The next day, with the sobering elixir of Gaiasis, a room was spared from a hangover.

After breakfast, Yang went to Sergeant Caesar's room and discussed the game with him.

"Before we knew who the opponent would be, we didn't have a specific goal, so we had to sort out all the players in the rematch on the entire No. 3 court and come up with a comprehensive basic information. ”

After discussing with Chongyang, Sergeant Sa touched his chin and said.

"The observation notes, key contents, and key player lists that Mr. himself has made reflect the level of attention and attention trend of Mr. himself, and are very valuable for my work. I'm going to take a closer look at them all and then go out and get moving......"

Chongyang listened to Sergeant Caesar's well-organized analysis and summary, and nodded in his heart, feeling worthy of being a professional.

After that, Chongyang let go of Sergeant Caesar's wave, stayed back in the room, and continued to study.

The rematch day is approaching, and it will soon be three days before the game.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on Chongyang's door, and he opened the door to see Sergeant Caesar standing upright.

"Sir, this is a summary of the information of the players at the strong level of the third venue, a total of twenty-one people, please take a look. Sergeant Caesar saluted, holding a densely written document in both hands.

Chongyang took it, stood by the door and browsed it roughly, and couldn't help but be shocked by the richness and clarity of the information carried on it!

Name, rank, department, equipment, origin, background, mentor of each player...... Instantaneous magic, Combination Magic Circle, Magic Tactics, Magic Scrolls...... Temperament Analysis, Weakness Analysis, Magic Analysis, Coping Tactics......

God, just looking at this piece of information, it's like seeing everything about the players on it clearly, as if you can grasp it all as long as you stretch out your hand.

"Time was tight and there were a lot of people, so we only had time to collect to this extent. The accuracy is relatively low, the details are very imperfect, and there are too many places that are not specific enough. When Sergeant Caesar was inspecting Chongyang, he whispered to the side.

Less accurate...... This level of accuracy is still called low? So what should it look like if the accuracy is higher? Chongyang was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but think about it.

Looking at the avatar of a beautiful female mage on the page, Chongyang suddenly thought that if he wanted to know the color of her underwear she liked to wear, as a way to explain it to Sergeant Caesar, would he answer "yes"?

In all probability!

This kind of intelligence gathering capability is really terrifying, so how huge and sophisticated should the entire intelligence network that wields this kind of terrorist ability be?

In the end, there is only one sentence that can best express Chongyang's current mood.|-Kanshugecom^Kanshugeka*

Professional, this is called professional.

β€œ...... The task was not completed well, and I hope that Mr. will forgive me. Sergeant Caesar said in a deep voice. It is true that the time is too tight, the number of investigators is so large, and the resources on hand are limited, so this can only be done.

He was a little apprehensive in his heart, the first time he worked, it should have been done beautifully, but the actual result was not satisfactory.

"There is no need to forgive. Chongyang withdrew his gaze from the papers, turned to Caesar, and smiled slightly, "You did a good job, enough, you don't need to ask for any forgiveness." ”

Sergeant Caesar was stunned, his eyes flashed, and his heart settled.

"Thank you for your hard work, and the other partners behind you. It must be very troublesome to collect and aggregate the information of so many people in such a short period of time. Chongyang said as he flipped through it.

"I'll start watching it right away and get the information before the game starts. ”

"That subordinate ......"

"Freedom of movement until the start of the rematch. It can be seen that your face is not very good, and you should not have slept well for a while. Now that you're done, relax, or do what you want to do. Chongyang smiled.

"Understood, sir. Sergeant Caesar nodded, "Well, retire." ”

After seeing Sergeant Caesar walk away, Chongyang returned to his room, closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, and looked at the documents carefully.

As Caesar said earlier, the key to this information is to be "comprehensive" and to include basic information on every aspect of the investigation. But even so, out

and limited resources, there are many places that cannot be identified or confirmed. The higher the level of the hand, the deeper the background, and the more obvious the signs of ominousness.

Intelligence blockade.

Since there is intelligence gathering, there will naturally be an intelligence blockade on the other side. No magician wants the details of his strength to be written into an incomparably detailed report and a sharp analysis to put on someone's desk.

If you don't want to, you should try to prevent this kind of thing and use some means to conceal or falsify your own information, such as paying attention to secrecy when practicing in ordinary times, deliberately using magic that is not your best use in front of others, making people fake rumors, spreading false news, prohibiting the dissemination, and severely cracking down on strangers who deliberately listen to it......

Intelligence warfare has always been a battle in the dark. Sometimes, this kind of combat can be more fierce and brutal than some head-on duels, so intelligence, espionage, and often assassination and assassination are inseparable.

The intelligence blockade makes it impossible for the person who stabs the news to get information or get false information, so when looking at the information of a handsome and beautiful woman with a prominent background and a deep background, you must keep a little more mind and never believe it all.

In addition to the direct information, the documents of the Caesar non-commissioned officers are accompanied by various analyses, one of the most important of which is the credibility evaluation, which indicates the degree to which a single piece of information or an entire document can be trusted.

Alex @ Xiao ...... Total credibility rating, 80 percent.

Banat @ Abe Rom ...... Total credible analysis, 71 percent.

Yadi @ Gates...... Overall credibility rating, 44 percent.

Forty-four?only to fifty percent of the credibility?Chongyang looked at Yadi@Gates's avatar and frowned slightly.

It's too low, unusually low, nearly thirty percent lower than his younger brother Ro @ Gates!

Obviously, either his intelligence blockade is particularly strict, or he has been very deliberately hiding his strength, that is, so far, few people have been able to force Yadi @Gates to use all his strength!

Have no bottom.

Chongyang repeatedly read the credibility of only forty and a half, and the whole article was full of ominous personal information, and really felt the meaning of Caesar's "accuracy is too low".

Not enough, far from enough. It's not enough to know Yadi @Gates based on this information.

It is also him alone, and there are several relatively strong high-level players in the field who lack information. However, for some reason, Chongyang always felt that this old friend brother was likely to become his fierce rival.

A mysterious premonition that may not be accurate.

Chongyang looked at it for a long time, his eyes swept over the handsome and deep face, and continued to check the information of other people......

......

The Rematch of the Empire Race has finally begun.

Unlike the preliminary round, you have to buy tickets in advance to enter the audience for the semi-finals. Tickets are divided into several price ranges, with different locations and different treatments, and those related to the runners can purchase tickets first.

The congress gambling system has also entered a high level of operation. Before each match, everyone can place bets on their players, with a maximum and a minimum bet. The more attention and the more intense the match is expected, the higher the bet minimum.

For the reference of gamblers, the organizers of the conference announced the basic information of each player in the rematch process, and listed the list of players who recommend betting. Of course, these recommended bets are strong players, and the **** of the game and even the maximum bet limit are relatively low.

"Magical Fire Mage! Unique fire magic, unusually powerful, defeating two dual-line magicians of the same level in a row! Bet on him to reap the most unexpected surprise of his life!"

The above highly inflammatory introduction, recommended is Chongyang @ Bright, with a portrait of the side head indifferently and coldly, it really makes people take money to gamble.

Luo Yang smiled in front of the bulletin board and shouted that he wanted to find the same portrait for the organizer to treasure, which made Chongyang look embarrassed.

The accompanying non-commissioned officer Caesar disappeared silently for a while, and when he returned, he filled out the form with a bet.

Luo Yang did not hesitate to fill in the form with a pen, and took out a large amount of amethystum coins to bet, all of which he earned from speculative business for a while. As for the amethyst coins given by Chongyang, he didn't move any of them.

Chongyang is not easy to gamble, but look at the cold portrait of himself on the recommended column, and then look at the high and low limits and **** marked with particularly eye-catching handwriting next to the portrait, and after thinking about it, I also filled in the list to bet on the maximum limit.

It changes almost at any time, and it doesn't get until the moment the game starts. The amethyst coin of Chongyang is enough to make the higher **** fluctuate for a while, until it drops to a lower level.

Caesar's non-commissioned officer also bet, and the amount was not small. Chongyang saw that he was also not interested in gambling, and only paid for the bet out of respect for his temporary boss.

After that, the time for the draw is coming, Chongyang bids farewell to Luo Yang, Gaiasis, Caesar Sergeant, and Xiao Jin, and walks into the already familiar area alone.

The last time I saw a smaller number of players on the field, it was even more deserted than it was at the beginning.

Some are dead, some are still alive.

Chongyang thought of this sentence inadvertently, and deeply tasted the cruelty of the duel in the game.

The number of people is smaller, and the hands look more clearly than the other players. Chongyang, who approached the crowd, noticed that some people looked at him very coldly.

These players are all from Prisland's previous Chongyang and student council president Leon @Bicardo battle, and they saw Leon hit hard by repeaters.

The shame of the repeater Reslan, who made a big fuss at the student union reassembly in order to compete for a place, mercilessly injured the student council president, and completely trampled the "pride of Prisland" under his feet, obviously slapping the first magic academy of the empire in the face.

Now, the news has gradually spread, the black young man who is fighting in the name of shame, as a pure fire mage who is recognized as declining, has an extremely powerful fire magic taught by the mysterious magic master, and has blasted the strongest proud son of the academy who once regarded himself as a shame to the point of crippling......

All the deeds of Chongyang @ Bright will show his waste material, which is a shame for the academy, but his genius has become a shame for the academy!

In the past, the contempt, insults, contempt, and ridicule inflicted on him by the academy, and he was retorting with strength step by step, slapping back one slap after another, and the slap was extremely loud.

The glory of Prisland is a very ironic challenge, a threat that is so absurd that it is unbelievable.

A person, just a person, a former student, now revenge.

Freya @ Howason is just the beginning, and Leon @ Bicardo is not the end either. The convention continues, and his footsteps continue.

The farther he went, the heavier the slap in the face of Prisland became, and the harder the blow to the dignity of all the magicians who were proud of Prisland.

Stop him, in the name of honor and pride of the Academy.

Chongyang looked indifferent. He could naturally understand the cold gaze of the Prisland players, after all, it was strange to beat the current student council president into such a miserable situation without arousing the emotions of the other party's hatred.

But he won't regret it, and he won't be afraid to meet the Prisland. Leon, the strongest in the current class, has been defeated by his staff, and the only threats he can possibility to him are the elite mages of the previous years, including his old friends Philley @ Armstrong and Yarrow @ Gates.

The two sides are already in flames, and there is no possibility of reconciliation, only until one side is defeated.

The unspoken thanks seemed to be saved.

The draw begins

In an open environment, players are given number balls and registered. In the rematch stage, the original plan was to play four rounds, but after the start of the tournament, the situation was much more intense and brutal than expected, and the organizers finally decided to adopt a further response plan and reduce the four rounds to three rounds.

This means that the two draws originally planned for the draw have been reduced to one, and the number of players placed in the same group has doubled.

Soon, the lottery registration ended, and when the schedule was confirmed, Chongyang was now in the same big group as his two old friends, and they were competing for the same promotion place!

Fate is a wonderful thing, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

Chongyang looked at the schedule and was speechless for a long time, all kinds of pictures and thoughts flashed in his mind, and finally fixed on the silent farewell to the two after the duel with Freya that day.

"Chongyang ......" Philly muttered, her eyes a little sloppy, and then she turned her head to look at her with a slightly dazed look, her beautiful eyes recondensed, locking on the side face of the black young man.

On the other side, Yarrow also turned his head and looked at Phillip and Chongyang, his brows furrowed so tightly that his eyebrows were almost twisted together, and his eyes flashed with jealousy, resentment, hatred, sorrow, pain and other complex colors, and his handsome face showed a trace of hideousness.

It's been years, it's been years.

Chongyang, Fairly, Yarrow, said this sentence at the same time in their hearts with very different attitudes, and placed very different meanings.

I used to think it was my best friend.

I used to think it was a lover in a dream.

I used to think it was a best friend's brother.

Once, after all, became once.

Gathered, separated, and now the three trajectories collide again by chance, or is it the end of fate?

Chongyang retracted his eyes and turned his back, without giving anyone a second look.

Philley withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, her upper eyes gloomy.

Yarrow withdrew his gaze and turned away, his gloomy gaze cold and fierce.

Surreptitiously.

"Looking at this, Yarrow shouldn't keep his hand, but Philley is not easy to say. A female priest of Priestland, a dark blue color, whispered to the handsome man beside her.

Yadi @Gates stood with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were deep, and his gaze was slightly cold.

"He's going to lose. ”

"Hmm, are you so sure? I think Chongyang @ Bright is a bit mysterious, and the outcome with Yarrow is unpredictable. The beautiful female mage said, her eyes twinkling.

"Unless...... Did your brother make a breakthrough during this time and be promoted to the top of the realm?"

Yadi was silent.

The female mage thought he was acquiescing, and looked approving.

After that, the game begins.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am your old friend, the master of ceremonies Carl! There should be no audience who is not familiar with me, right? If there is, then please hurry up and withdraw from the table and exchange your ticket, because you must have gone to the wrong venue!"

A small joke provoked laughter from the audience, and the voice of the emcee Carl reverberated as loud as ever over the third field.

"Now it's the first round of the much-anticipated Imperial Elite Magician Contest semi-finals! The players who are about to play are all promoted from the preliminary stage through life-and-death duels! Their competition will be more intense, exciting, and shocking!"

"And in order to ensure that the audience is not affected by the excessively fierce battle situation, our organizers specially hired a large number of excellent magicians to jointly cast a powerful enchantment to isolate the arena and the audience. ”

"Don't worry about enchantments getting in the way of watching the battle, because the magic enchantments that will be cast are transparent, just like the very hard glass, and will only block the magic attack and not the human gaze.

”

"Let's all say hello to the enchantment mages who have already lined up to enter the arena, you guys are all right, that's the end of the nonsense, and we will introduce the players of both sides of the first match right away......"

......

Even when it turned into having to pay for tickets to enter the stadium, the enthusiasm of the audience continued unabated, and the attendance rate of the first game exceeded 90%, and after two games, it was completely full, and standing tickets began to be sold.

However, compared to the amount of gambling per game, the ticket sales revenue can only be regarded as a drizzle. The big game is a big gamble, and almost everyone participates in the gambling game, but the level of gambling is different.

The shouts and cheers in the venue were as high as a wave, and the spectators of the two contestants were more-for-tat, and there was little need for the emcee Carl's provocation. When it comes to gambling interests, sometimes the audience seems to be more nervous and excited than the players on the field, blushing and cursing in support.

"It's so miserable, the much-anticipated Auston player before the fight was defeated! Alva's complete victory made his audience feel like they were having a carnival!"

The winner is decided, one side is happy, the other side is scolding and red-eyed, and the atmosphere of the collision scene is full of gunpowder. But at the beginning of the next game, the smell of gunpowder will be replaced by new opposing expectations, and the sound will not stop, and the flood will continue.

That's the magic of gambling.

No matter how noble the player's background is, how strong his background is, he goes to the battlefield and puts the game on the table, that is, he is a chess piece. Won, applause reverence. Lost, the dog is bloody. Cruel and fair.

Here, just look at the strength!

"In the next game, oh~~ I saw an impressive name, Chongyang @ Bright! A unique magical fire mage in this arena and even in the entire arena! And his opponent turned out to be half a fire mage Thunder and Fire dual lineage of Jarvis @Andrew!"

"Jarvis player comes from a wealthy family, and his dual-system magic attack power is extremely terrifying, and the previous two battles were easily won, and one of them even killed the opponent in seconds!

There was a resurgence of uproar on the field. On the surface, most viewers tend to believe in the thunder and fire dual system, and feel that the so-called "magical fire mage" has a limit no matter how magical it is. And a small part of the audience, especially the few viewers who were deeply impressed by the battle between Chongyang and Leon, faintly became the hardcore of the magical fire mage, and insisted on being optimistic about the black youth.

The emcee Carl continued to provoke publicly, because of YΓ‘rvis's obvious advantage, he won two games lightly before, and his record surpassed Chongyang by more than a point and a half, so his prestige grew and the bets increased, which led to the **** of Chongyang's side rising.

Chongyang entered the player's seat and sat upright, still alone. On the other side, a purple young man named Jarvis was watching him with his companions, and from time to time he was talking to his companions, looking very interested.

"Chongyang @ Bright, a pure fire magician who is currently attracting the attention of the Imperial Fire Wizard ......"

"Senior Brother Yalvis, is he really powerful?"

"I've read his information, and I'm really a little surprised, I didn't expect a pure fire mage to be able to do this. A smile tugged at the corner of Jarvis' mouth, and his long, narrow eyes glittered with MSG on his handsome face.

"However, if it's just that level, it's not my opponent, and it's impossible for me to continue to play in the tournament. Therefore...... Let me see if he has the strength to surpass me, and whether he is worthy of Master Baird's attention and expectations. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more chapters!)
