Chapter 168: The Assembly Begins
On the carriage, Chongyang took out the information of the contestants of the National Assembly and read it again.
This information was sent to the house by Sergeant Caesar five days ago, two days after he left the customs. The twenty-six individual contestants recorded above are all high-level cultivators at the realm level! Five of them are also specially noted that they are likely to break through to the U.S. level or have already broken through to the U.S. level!
There are so many monsters in the world. When Chongyang watched it for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh.
The "quasi-Armagine" player at the top of the list is Antonio @ Rennes. This earth-wind dual-line genius is the only young magician in the Wren Empire who has reached this level. In terms of pure mana level, he is the strongest in the empire.
Then, there are the players of the Shura Alliance, and the whole position is full! Five "quasi-arcane" players, one alliance occupies one, which really makes people feel terrifying.
The players, all from the powerful forces within the Shura Alliance, are all top elites who have entered the battlefield since they were teenagers and survived the life-and-death battle. With bloodstained hands and white bones on their feet, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crawling out of the dead pile.
Chongyang couldn't help but feel a chill just in the face of their past resumes.
Finally, there is a player from the Kingdom United. This player is a little mediocre compared to the other four in all aspects, and he does not have Antonio's outstanding talent or the fierce battle experience of the Shura Alliance. It seems to be the weakest of the five "quasi-Upanishads......
......
When Chongyang finished reading the piece again, the carriage also drove to the Magic Association.In front of the teleportation array, he saw Xia Zuo @ Rand and the others.
In the face of the conference, all the contestants couldn't help but be a little nervous and seemed relatively silent. Chongyang and Xia Zuo talked a few words, and found that the other party was preoccupied and didn't want to speak, so they closed their mouths.
Eighteen contestants arrived one after another, and the last to appear were Her Royal Highness Princess Rosali, dressed in heroic attire, and Antonio, the son of the Prince, dressed in a magnificent robe. The two royal families were indifferent to each other, and they were filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
When the princess walked towards Chongyang, Antonio glanced at her back and the black-haired young man intentionally or unintentionally, his brows were slightly furrowed, and a cold light shot out of his eyes.
When the players arrived, the time was up, and the workers immediately activated the teleportation array and sent the players away.
Chongyang, the princess and Xia Zuo's group, entered the formation, and after being shrouded in white light, when they saw the scene again, they were already in a strange place - the border city of Bighua.
I saw that not far from the teleportation array, there was a tall building similar to the Imperial Capital Grand Arena Yang Duel Arena, which was obviously the final stage of this national conference.
Looking at the newly built dueling arena in that short period of time, Chongyang's eyes flickered. After walking for so long, I have finally come to this point, and what I have in front of me is the peak of the continent!
"What are you in a daze?" Her Royal Highness glanced at him, but she didn't have the usual contempt for God.
Chongyang retracted his gaze, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and followed the team to the temporary player's residence.
The entire town was cleared of its inhabitants and replaced by a team of serious magicians. They wore military robes and armed staffs, and stood guard or patrolled, maintaining a high level of vigilance.
The National Assembly is not a magical Olympics in which leaders from all sides watch the friendly competition of athletes, but a display of strength and diplomatic collision between countries.
Disputes within a country are already very complicated, and the entanglement of interests between countries is even more complicated.
At present, the diplomatic relations between the Wren Empire, the Shura Alliance, and the Kingdom Union are far from harmonious and beautiful. The basic situation is that the empire and the alliance are full of contradictions, and tigers and lions are competing with each other. And the alliance swayed, wanting to seek benefits on both sides, like a wolf who is sinister and greedy.
In such a situation, it is easy to understand that the place where the National Assembly was held looked like a military stronghold.
With Grandmaster Lin Qi in charge, the country will not fight in this place, but no one wants to weaken the situation on the field, and Grandmaster Lin Qi's town is only limited to the period of the National Assembly......
Beneath the seemingly quiet mesa of the small city is a turbulent and stirring undercurrent. There are duels among the players, and there are disputes among the superiors. There are wars where there is, this sentence is a bit of a charlatan, but magic is also the truth.
Chongyang is now participating in a war meeting.
"There is a state banquet tonight, and it is also the lottery of players, and tomorrow the game will officially begin......" Her Royal Highness the princess sat on a seat in the hall and explained the meeting.
On her right, there is a race of Xia Zuo @ Rand and Chongyang @ Bright. On the left-hand side, there are Olli @ Nakari, Yarlin @ Merkel, and Andre @ Epp in the team competition.
Even within herself, there are a total of six, which belong to the Wren royal faction. The domestic rival camp, the Prince's faction, led by Antonio, occupies all the remaining twelve places.
In terms of quantity, Antonio is a "quasi-arcane" mage of the earth and wind dual line, and there is only a high-level domain here, and there is also a fire mage who has only just been promoted to the upper level.
“...... Our situation has not been good since the beginning, and it is still bad, but compared to the Imperial Race, our Congress hopes are a little bit greater. ”
Everyone understood what Her Royal Highness meant. The players of the Shura Alliance and the Kingdom Union are not easy to mess with, and if the prince's faction wants to run into them, they will definitely be weakened. Even the strongest Antonio @ Rennes is not impossible to be eliminated.
It's a matter of luck. If you are in a weak position, you are unlucky and may be wiped out. But if you're lucky, you might win. Therefore, tonight's banquet is crucial. As soon as the schedule comes out after the draw, the winner can probably be predicted.
"The rest of the time is up to you, either for meditation or pure relaxation in the room. If you want to go out into the city, bring enough guards. Her Royal Highness finally said, standing up.
"Again, it's important to win, but it's even more important to keep Xing alive. I hope that after the conference, there will be many people sitting here. ”
With that, she walked out of the hall first.
The remaining five were silent for a while, and then Xia Zuo @ Rand lay on his back in the chair and let out a long sigh.
"To be honest, I'm not confident. ”
"We all have the same little faith, Mr. Shazo. Team leader, Oli@Nakari, smiled.
"No, it's different. Xia Zuo frowned deeply, "Your strength has risen, and I was only lucky to get here." Actually, if it weren't for ...... If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have won the Empire Race. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Chongyang, his eyes flickering with a complicated expression.
Yadi @Gates wanted to duel with Chongyang, so he deliberately let the water go and lost the game with Xia Zuo, so that Xia Zuo could be promoted to the National Assembly.
From this point of view, in terms of strength, Xia Zuo cannot sit here. He understands it himself, and so does everything else.
Chongyang faced Xia Zuo's gaze and felt that he had to say something.
"Lucky...... It's also part of the strength. Mr. Xia Zuo, if you want to rely on luck, I am the one who depends on your luck. Chongyang smiled slightly.
"If it weren't for luck, I might still be at Prisland College, and I'd be said to be scrap. ”
"So, what if I'm a hillbilly who is lucky enough to get here? I'm sitting here and I'm going to the convention tomorrow, that's a fact, there's no denying it. ”
"I am who I am, my fortune, and a part of who I am. The success brought by my fortune is also my success. ”
"You too, Mr. Shazo, your luck is yours and nothing else. Maybe you don't have confidence in your future, but you don't have to deny the past. Because that's the truth, and there's nothing that can be denied, including within yourself. ”
Chongyang's sincere words made Xia Zuo's frowning brows gradually soothe. The others also listened thoughtfully.
"I see, thank you, Mr. Chongyang. ”
The five talked for a while, encouraged each other, and then dispersed
"I have a hunch that Chongyang @ Bright is likely to win. ”
"He can beat Yadi @ Gates, he has that quality. ”
"Strength is part of it, my hunch is more due to his 'luck'. Olli@Nakari said to the two companions, "When I heard him just now, I thought he was indeed wonderful...... Anyway, I trust him now, and I don't even understand what is going on. ”
Arrin and Andre looked at each other.
"Leadership?"
"No, Her Royal Highness the princess is the leader, and he ...... It feels more indescribable. ”
Partners from the same team started a discussion about Chongyang @Bright.
Chongyang didn't know what he was talking about himself behind his back, and he didn't sneeze smartly. He entered the luxurious suite that had been assigned to him, walked to the window and looked out, and saw a heavily guarded city.
After watching for a while, Chongyang silently went to the chuang, meditated, and waited for the night to come......
......
............
In the first match of the National Congress, Chongyang met Antonio @ Rennes. In the face of this extremely tough opponent, he unreservedly prepared all his trump cards.
Wearing the "Thunderbolt Fire" robe, it contains the "Brilliant Flame Xuanlong" combination summoning scroll and two carefully prepared high-grade potions. In his right hand, he wears the "Scorching Master" glove and the "Tiger Wing Spirit Ring", and holds the "Scepter of Glory". In his left hand, he holds the long knife that "Red Dust Shines Brightly" and transforms after devouring the magic weapon "Green Fang".
After everything was ready, Chongyang handed over the rest of the things and the space ring to Her Royal Highness the princess for safekeeping.
Then, Chongyang walked to the arena, but suddenly, the light flashed in front of him, and he was completely enveloped in whiteness.
In a trance, vaguely, he seemed to hear the voice of the fire demon.
He woke up and opened his eyes!
"This is ......"
The arena is gone, Antonio @ Wren, who was sneering opposite, is gone, and the audience is gone. All and everything is gone, replaced by a large dreamlike multicolored hedron!
Chongyang's eyes widened, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he slowly looked around, feeling more and more shocked.
In front of me, the ground seems to be paved with spars, and the ground is also a cluster of crystals, showing all kinds of strange postures, teeth and claws, hideous and prominent, sharp and bright, stabbing towards the void...... The light shimmers brightly, reflecting a rainbow of light and deep colors.
When you look up, you can see the vast blue sky, and there are also huge crystals suspended, some of which are still and some of which are moving. From time to time, you can also see some strange birds flying by.
In addition to the endless crystals, you can also see subtle rays of light, scattered and arranged in the distance.
What is this place?
Chongyang's first feeling was that he was dreaming, but this dream felt too real. In addition to the incredible scene, the sense of existence and flesh and blood are very solid.
The equipment on his body is exactly the same as the one he brought before.
Wait, before ...... Chongyang frowned, thought about it carefully, and gradually realized something.
"Attention to all the young magicians from the Rennes Empire, the Shura Alliance, and the Kingdom Union, I am Lin Qi. ”
As he pondered, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the sky, shaking the entire void at once.
Grandmaster Lin Qi!?
Chongyang Huo Ran looked up, but he couldn't see any figure.
"The conference has begun, and it is going on here, in the room I have opened. Young and excellent magicians, go to the bright distance, obtain the 'Heavenly Gift', or defeat your opponent and win. ”
Lang Lang's voice shook the sky and the earth, spreading to every corner and ringing clearly in everyone's ears.
Grandmaster Lin Qi's God-level Mage's Magic!?
Chongyang was shocked at first, then calmed down and quickly resumed thinking.
"Whatever the reason...... In short, there is no draw, no field, no referee...... There is only one god-level ......"
"'All the young magicians', I mean all here, all the players are just like me, they are controlled in some way, they prepare everything on their own, and then they are absorbed into this ......"
"'Towards the distance of light', 'light' should mean those rays of light that shine. The first priority here is to move in the direction of the light. ”
"'Obtain the Heavenly Gift or Defeat the Opponent', that is, the Heavenly Gift Elixir is somewhere, in order to win, you have to win the Elixir! or the contestants participating in the tournament are only one of the ...... No, six!
"There is no difference between the individual competition and the team competition, and all the players fight in the same place. And until it's over, you can't leave!"
Chongyang thought about it and drew some inferences, roughly understood the current shape, and took a deep breath.
The space ring was handed over, and only the things on the face remained, and the other ......
"Firedemons, are you?"
There was no answer, and sure enough, the elemental elves didn't get in together.
God-level, such a conference stage is really gorgeous enough. But why did Grandmaster Lin Qi do this?
Chongyang had all kinds of speculations, but the mind of this god-level mage was not something he could know after all. After a long silence, he began to stride in the direction of the distant light.
Chongyang did not use magic to rush, did not rush forward, and acted cautiously. Because he felt in his heart that deliberately involving the contestants in such a huge god could not just be a race here, it must have a ......
There was a loud bang in the distance on the left, followed by a fierce roar.
“...... Dangerous. Chongyang clenched his staff and long knife, his eyes sharpened.
At this time, behind him, several dark red vine-like objects shuttled through the spar, silently approaching his feet, like a poisonous snake, suddenly sprang up!
