Chapter 152: The Nature of the Main Core Crystal
Cui Yu gently put down the work in his hand and blew a breath to wipe off the metal dust on it, but when he looked up, except for the players from the Shadow Throne, everyone else in the arena had already completed the work.
Walking off the field, Fang Yu stretched out his hand to him. Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party, and then hesitated to reach out and touch his fist. "It played well." Fang Yu smiled slightly and encouraged.
Cui Yu didn't say a word after hearing this, and looked back to see that the scoreboard had already lit up the results of each team.
The points of the first round of the game fully show the gap between the teams.
Ragnarok, with a score of 89.5 points and a total of 89.5 points;
General Union of Golander Artisans, with a score of 92 points and a total of 92 points;
Guta Artisan Association, with a score of 93.1 points and a total score of 93.1 points;
Shadow Throne, with a score of 80.1 points and a total of 80.1 points;
Elffindor Council, with a score of 91.3 points and a total of 91.3 points.
The two qualifying teams were paired with real players, and the results were obviously a little unsatisfactory. But if anything, the Shadow Throne is a bit miserable, ranking at the bottom of the table with a score of almost less than eighty points.
In the first round of the competition, the participating teams were clearly divided into three upper, middle and lower levels.
The first team in the upper echelons is the Goland Craftsmen Association, the Ancient Tower Craftsmen Association, and the Elffindor Council, all of which have more than 90 points, while the second level is followed by Ragnarok, and finally the Shadow Throne, which is as many as nine points away from the previous one, hanging far from the end.
As soon as the results of the competition came out, the buzzing in the square became noticeably louder. It has long been known that this year's Guta players are exceptional, so it was not surprising that they won the first round.
And the score of the Elffindor Council is not satisfactory, with 91.3 points, at least in the first echelon. It is well known that the other two teams are the teams participating in the main competition, so this result is quite recognized.
On the contrary, there were viewers who were not familiar with the Southern Alchemist Alliance, and they also asked in the live broadcast room of the wandering horses: Where is this Elffindor Council sacred, and it is still at some level?
The horse explained, glancing at the score. Ragnarok, who he cared about, had a low score from the start, although he was not far behind, less than four points. But he looked at Ragnarok's remaining three players, Cui Yu was obviously not one of the shortcomings, and among Ragnarok's four players, Liuyue was the weakest link.
If too many points are conceded in the second round, it will be quite detrimental to Ragnarok's later matches.
He couldn't help but look at Fang Plover who was standing on the side with some concern, because the perspective given by the race party was relatively far, he couldn't actually see the look on Fang Yuan's face at the moment, and only vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be very calm.
This gave him a slight sigh of relief.
The biggest upset in the first round was obviously the results of the Shadow Throne, and the difference of almost fifteen points surprised everyone: the difference in strength between the two groups in the qualifiers was so big? People can't help but think so.
But as soon as the results of the second round came out, there was an uproar -
The second round is crystal making, the main core crystal is one of the three crowns of contemporary alchemy - the other two are the dragon knight and the airship, although the main crystal has a category, but it is not easy to do one.
Fang Yu could only say to Liuliyue, "Do your best." ”
They didn't have anyone who was good at this, and the other party was almost cannon fodder, which made him a little uncomfortable.
But Liyue walked up without saying a word.
The match lasted about ten minutes, and the contestants, who were also the Shadow Thrones, were the last to turn in their papers, and after the staff checked that they were correct, the scoreboard showed the results again:
Ragnarok, with a score of 85 points and a total of 174.5 points;
General Union of Goland Artisans, with a score of 93.5 points and a total of 185.5 points;
Guta Artisan Association, with a score of 93.5 points and a total score of 186.6 points;
Shadow Throne, with a score of 84 points and a total of 164.1 points;
Elffindor Council, with a score of 91.7 points and a total of 183 points.
Obviously, the Guta Artisans are still in a narrow lead, but instead of being distanced, the Council of Elffindor has even caught up a bit. Fang Yu couldn't help but glance in that direction.
Vikki, the main player on Guta's side, and the glasses guy haven't played yet, and the two are obviously the main force of this team, so they should choose to play in the last two rounds. And the Goland Craftsmen will be tepid on their side, and they will basically miss out on the championship, and if the Elffindor Council doesn't have any moths, they should be trying to keep the second.
After all, the Goland Artisan Guild has not yet completed its team, and there should still be many vacancies in the team.
But Fang Ou's heart was like a mirror - the Elffindor Council would almost certainly have an accident, and that Lynn in the next round would be extraordinary, a native craftsman who had been to the Hall of a Thousand Doors, not to mention Rollin after that.
To put it simply, the Council of Elffindor is in control of the points - Count Cillin Sbicca wants to make the other party the last to play and turn the tide. Such an image is indeed more pleasing to ordinary people, but in Fang Yuan's opinion, it is a little too deliberate.
But at the moment, people are talking more about the Shadow Throne's points.
With a total of 164.1 points in the two rounds, not to mention compared with the main team, even compared with Ragnarok, which is also a qualifying team, it is also a full ten points behind, and it is worthy of the name of the crane tail.
At this level, it's almost impossible for the Shadow Throne to knock out the Rose Crusaders, and the audience isn't stupid, with some voices about match-fixing coming up in the middle of the discussion. However, what made Sky Blue on the sidelines a lot of fire was that the object of suspicion was actually Ragnarok, who was also a qualifier team.
It can't be helped, because if the format doesn't change, Ragnarok will obviously be the biggest beneficiary of the Shadow Throne match-fixing. Not to mention, the cooperation between the Super Athletic League and Ragnarok makes people can't help but wonder if there will be shady scenes here.
The current reputation of the Super Athletic League in the hearts of ordinary viewers has not been much better since the Covenant Mountain.
Tianlan said a few words to defend Ragnarok, but as a result, she was so angry that she opened her teeth and claws, and gave Luo Yu a kick beside her.
Luo Yu looked at her very innocently.
Fang Yu was calm.
He saw that Liuliyue came down without saying a word, and sat down in the corner alone, Mu Lan wanted to go up to comfort him when he saw this, but was pulled by Fang Yuan: "Don't go, let him be alone." He shook his head at Mu Lan.
Just kidding, he didn't think that Liyue was feeling self-pity, mostly out of a prelude to a furious outburst.
He patted Dill on the shoulder again, motioning for her to play.
Although the little girl didn't like to talk, she nodded to him seriously.
The third round was Potions, which was chosen by them, and naturally the main point of taking points. And Dill lived up to expectations, scoring a score of 97 points directly, and then went down very calmly.
However, Ragnarok performed this set in the last round, so it is not surprising. What only surprised them a little was that the Guta Craftsmen Association also scored 97 points in this round, and even Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at the squinting glasses brother.
Awesome, this person, given the results of time, I'm afraid that he won't be under Vikki, maybe even higher.
Fang Yu thought to himself.
After the third round, there were some changes in the total points of each team - the Guta Artisans still dominated the game with 283.6 points, followed by the Golande Artisans with 279.1 points and the Elfondo Council with 280.5 points.
The player named Lynn did not surprise Fang Ou and slashed all the teams with a clean 97.5 points, even giving the Elffindor Council a point ahead of the Goland Craftsman Association.
When the other party was leaving, Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at him - this was the level of the craftsman who had been to the Hall of a Thousand Gates, and even Dill, who had temporarily learned elven alchemy, was not the opponent of the other party.
And once the three rounds are over, the gap between the teams is basically clear.
At least in the eyes of the average person, the champion will be between the Guta and the Elffindor Council, and although the gap between the Golander Artisans is not large, it is necessary to look at the contestants of the final two rounds of the main competition.
On one side is Vikki, the legendary girl of the Guta people, on the other side is the dragon slayer warrior Rollin of the Elfins, and as for the player from the spear of the Silver Forest of the Golander Artisan Association, it can be said to be mediocre compared to the two.
What's more, people have also heard that in the previous training, the craftsmen of the Silver Forest Spear were far from being the opponents of the Guta people.
That's all three teams that have what it takes to compete for the title –
In addition, after three rounds, the points are 270.5 points, not to mention the first place, even compared with the Golander Craftsmen's Association, which is close to 10 points.
Whether it is the audience in the square or in the live broadcast room, as long as they still have the ability to think as a normal person, they will not believe that Ragnarok can catch up.
Of course, the worst thing is the Shadow Throne, the points have not reached two hundred and sixty-five points, and no one pays attention to this team anymore.
However, Fang Yu had fully understood at this moment that for Count Sirin Sbicca, the Shadow Throne had 'glorious' fulfilled his 'historical mission', but few people on the scene saw this clearly-
Dill walked off the stage and whispered to the crowd, "I'm sorry." ”
In her opinion, she could have scored a higher score, she learned the alchemy of the elves from Fang Yuan, but she didn't even get the highest score in this round. Basically, she couldn't get the highest score, so she announced that they had gone far in this game.
She looked at Fang Plover and lowered her head.
No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to drag the three of them forward alone. Especially in the main competition, there may be a gap between people, but the difference between top craftsmen is often limited.
However, Fang Yu shook his head, and only patted the girl's somewhat thin shoulder.
"It's okay."
The young man replied gently.
Dill and Cui Yu on the side both raised their heads and looked at him when they heard this.
Fang Yu looked at the arena, raised his hand, and gently pushed forward with his left hand, and with a soft 'click', the output mode of the Lone King's Pride was adjusted to the Craftsman mode.
Then he put down the hand that was on the girl's shoulder, and said nothing, only to staggered past the latter.
The alchemist's trench coat was gently raised, but the silhouette of the two of them was left at the corner of their clothes.
It's just that few people are looking in this direction -
As there was a murmur in the middle of the game, Vikki and Rollin were also entering.
And the five main generals of the five teams all separated from the crowd and walked to the stage at this moment.
At this moment, people care more about the stars among those contestants - such as the genius girl from Guta, and Elffindor's own dragon-slaying hero - thousands of eyes in the square and in the live broadcast room are focused on the two.
What might be followed is a battle between the dragon and the tiger.
People thought to themselves.
The sky seems to have darkened somewhat.
A familiar shroud of light was rising from the spire of Eldorphine, the city's defensive barrier, and it was slowly hanging down towards the northern sky, in the direction of Van Rik's harbor area.
But not many people cared about it.
The Elffindor Spire is the invincible guardian of the city, and as long as the alchemists are here, everything will be safe and sound.
At this moment, the people in the square are almost fully focused on these last two games – and maybe even the last one, because the points in the main match are calculated based on the lowest score.
The square was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
Tianlan clenched her fists, so nervous that she didn't dare to take a breath.
In the crowd, Su Changfeng looked at the little monster squeezed beside him, he smiled, didn't speak, only took out a note and put it in the other party's hand, and then pointed to the arena. The latter gestured and patted his chest.
Su Changfeng bowed his head.
It clenched the note, turned around and slipped back into the crowd, disappearing.
Su Changfeng raised his head and glanced at his daughter from a distance.
Sophie was talking to Akane in a low voice, and she didn't know what to say, but the latter listened and only nodded slightly.
And the wandering horse obviously didn't pay attention to the details on the field - his eyes were only on Fang Yuan, and he seemed to be a little nervous, and the speech in the live broadcast room disturbed him a little.
He closed his eyes, took a light breath, opened them again, and thought for a moment before slowly reaching out a little above the screen - closing the barrage in the live broadcast room for the first time.
And in the box, the craftsmen from Alffindor were still whispering:
"That little girl from Ragnarok is using ancient alchemy again."
"But the other player didn't."
"You didn't find that her work is the same as the last time, but that Cui Yu is not."
"You're saying they're only going to do that one thing, how could there be such a thing?"
But the discussion of the craftsmen was suddenly interrupted by a low laugh in the square.
Everyone turned back.
It was the Shadow Throne's team that made people laugh.
The Lord blushed a little and pestled in his place, not moving.
Obviously, he didn't know how to make a dual-purpose magic furnace. This is not surprising, after all, the large magic guide is not a field that ordinary people can touch at this stage.
On the other side, Goland's team was slightly better, and the craftsman of the Spear of the Silver Forest had already built a shelf, but it was also slow.
Even Vikki, the genius girl of the Guta, was in great trouble, frowning, trying little by little to restore the techniques in her impression. Unlike the others, she had learned some experience in making large magic guides.
It's just not skilled.
Sweat quickly trickled down her cheeks.
The five arenas are arranged in a circle, with the statue of Angela in the center of the square, and the Shadow Throne, the Goland, and the Ancient Tower Artisans are located in the northeast, north, and northwest of the square, respectively.
It's just that the five arenas face one side of the Elffindor Spire, but the atmosphere in the square to the east is a little strange at the moment, and there is no sound.
It was the arena of the Elffindor Council.
The sound of inhalation is coming and going.
And in the live broadcast room with a wider field of vision, there was also a voice of shock:
"it!"
"This is a plug-in, right?"
"So fast!?"
"Is this guy a shipwright?"
In the stands, Lord Count was calmly watching one finished part after another, like an assembly line, from the hands of his proud students.
Even if there is a slight complication, the other party only thinks about it for a moment, and then starts to make it. He used a method that was very different from the others, which surprised the craftsmen present:
"This technique ......"
"Wait, this is really the Guta School."
"The Guta School is a very ancient school, isn't it lost?"
"I remember that the Guta School had a knack for large magicians."
"No wonder he uses a dragon gun."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Count Sirin Sibika on the side.
And the latter just narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled with satisfaction, how could the students he chose be idle?
It was clear that there were more than just the great craftsmen in the stands, and the voices in the square were getting louder and louder - so much so that Vikki could faintly hear the discussion below. She was stunned for a moment, raised her head - and didn't wipe the sweat on her forehead, just silently looked in that direction and subconsciously bit her lip.
To this extent, it is almost her limit.
And the words 'Guta School' stung her even more deeply - as a Guta born conscriptor, she had certainly heard of this school. More than 100 years ago, it was the pride of the Guta people.
If it weren't for the Dragon Witch disaster.
Perhaps the alchemy of the Guta people today will not be what it is now.
She lowered her head again, sweat still sliding down her cheeks.
But the moment she lowered her head, her gaze suddenly froze in one direction—
That's to the southwest of the square.
Vikki almost dropped his work to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.
She looked at the face in a daze:
“…… How could it be him? ”
Vikki saw a nightmare.
In the live broadcast room——
The eyes of the wandering horses froze at the same time.
Unlike the others, he had only focused on Fang Plover and Aldorphine's Rollin from the beginning, but when he saw Rollin in action, he was only a little surprised - only waiting for Fang Plover to start making.
His gaze was completely glazed.
Unlike the others, the first thing Fang Ou made was the main core crystal of the magic furnace.
Its raw material is a rather large piece of cobalt-blue calcite.
However, Fang Yuan did not ask the staff to put the calcite into the magic furnace like the others.
He didn't even carve a formation in the calcite first, like Rollin did.
In fact, the other party just walked up to the calcite, then looked left and right, and pressed it on the calcite casually—the next moment, seven shallow silver lights flashed out on the calcite in an instant.
Seven parallels.
Fang Yu calculated in his heart, it should be enough, and he still has to save some computing power to modify the structure of the crystal. Regarding the marine magic furnace, he learned a lot of relevant knowledge in the Hall of a Thousand Doors and from Ender.
And more importantly, he knows crystals very well -
At this level, I'm afraid no one understands the nature of the main core crystal better than him.
……
"?"
For a moment, I don't know who suddenly let out an exclamation.
And the wandering horse also subconsciously rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken-
In the southeast square, many spectators with a craftsman base have squeezed from the back to the front at the moment. In the midst of the tumultuous crowd, many people were watching in amazement at the scene unfolding in front of them.
On the field, Cui Yu, Mu Lan, Dill and even the soul fingerprint stood up from their positions almost at the same time. Only Chickpea slowed down for a moment, knocking over his chair as he got up.
He opened his mouth wide and watched in disbelief at the movements of Fang Yuan's hand:
"This ......?"
"I seem to have seen it somewhere," Mu Lan turned on his Elector system as if he had been electrified, "Wait, this is ......"
"Multiple parallel ......," the soul fingerprint replied in a low voice.
"Ah, I remember!" Mu Lan's voice trembled a little: "I finally know why it's so familiar, we really watched Ed's game before......"
"He's ......"
In the midst of the crowd.
The artisans of Al Pakhin are jumping and dancing with excitement.
"It's really him!"
Not far away, Su Changfeng, who was watching this scene, just shook his head. He put away his communication crystal, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at them lightly.
There seems to be a calm indifference in his eyes.
The strange movement that gradually spread in the square even attracted the attention of the alchemists in the stands. The Masters of the Elffindor Council looked in this direction with some confusion, and for a moment they could not figure out what was happening.
It wasn't until a moment later that a staff member came running over like a ghost.
"...... over there"
"It's ...... over there"
The staff opened their mouths wide and didn't know how to describe it for a while.
The noisy sound finally caught the attention of Luo Lin on the field. However, the young man only glanced at it with the rest of his eyes, and then withdrew his gaze, he had already finished the general structure of the dual-purpose magic furnace.
For now, you only need to deal with the main core crystal again, and then this work is done.
He evaluated it in his heart, and estimated that he could give himself a score of 97.
Perfect.
However, this achievement is no longer in his heart. He was about to gently shake the bell on the table to signal that the staff was ready to move on to the next stage. But at this time, he suddenly heard a somewhat calm voice coming from the other side of the arena:
"Referee, I'm done."
It wasn't loud, but it was articulate.
It came from the southeast side.
Rollin almost shook his hands.
……
