As soon as the protest of the immortal worm came out, there was silence all around. There are very few people who cheat in the Artisan Challenge, but when someone cheats, the Artisan Association is often very strict, ranging from point penalties to expulsion from the ranks of Artisans.

However, since the Tinkerer Challenge itself has no restrictions on equipment, it is rare for anyone to check the equipment of the contestants - there are no taboos, so there is no need to check them.

But the current situation is a bit special, Fang Yuan's clockwork fairy's abnormal performance is obvious to all, and it is completely different from the clumsiness of the first half.

Even if the strength is hidden, it is difficult to explain the unbelievable spin change - it is not something that a second-order combat craftsman can do through 'his own strength' at all.

However, the dwarf referees didn't expect their guesses to be inseparable, and they were still whispering around them:

"Will it be an off-court substitute game?"

"Not that way." The referee stroked his spiky beard and shook his head resolutely: "The clockwork fairy is provided by us, and the link on the core crystal will only be me, you and I have checked it, there is no leak." ”

"What about lying about grades?" The other asked sharply.

"That's not even better, have you forgotten that tonight is special?"

"So, too, those tall people have also tested the level of the contestants, so you can't go wrong-"

"But there has to be an explanation?" All the gnomes frowned.

In the end, it was the experienced referee who put his hand down from his beard and said, "Then ask him for his own opinion?" ”

So all the dwarfs ran to the table together and asked Fang Yu in a gossipy manner: "D12 player, B3 player wants to check your personal tools, what is your opinion?" ”

Needless to ask - what about letting others see what's going on inside the glove? Now there is only one intact silver track left, although there are two more before, but the people who watch the excitement will not care so much.

Using a silver rail to manipulate two clockwork goblins, this is almost like a fantasy, once it is passed out, Fang Yu can understand with his toes that he is here tonight.

So he shook his head decisively. "No, you can't."

The gnome judges had expected this answer, and there was no precedent for checking alchemist tools in the Artisan Challenge, as the tournament itself did not limit what kind of tools the battle craftsmen used, and the argument that Fang Yu used his tools to cheat was untenable.

However, such an answer could not calm the doubts in everyone's hearts, nor was it enough to block the mouths of the people.

So the gnomes turned back to look at the referee.

The referee was also puzzled and hesitated, "Although there is no precedent for inspecting alchemist tools in the Craftsman Challenge, you have to explain the previous situation to the D12 player, right?" ”

Fang Yu scratched his head, how could he explain? He doesn't know the principle himself, and even if he does, he can't match his level and panel. Or is it honestly a dragon knight? A first-order dragon knight? Let's not talk about whether others believe it or not, then he might as well hand over the gloves honestly.

The atmosphere on the field was a little awkward.

At this time, the immortal worm on the side said in a strange voice: "Since the D12 player doesn't want to explain, then I don't force it, but I ask the D12 player to change the control gloves when competing with me, isn't it too much?" ”

The crowd was in an uproar when they heard the proposal - is that not too much?

Even the referee team showed embarrassment on their faces, most of the combat craftsmen's manipulation tools were modified by themselves, which is why the artisan competitions generally do not check the alchemist tools, because of the technical secrecy involved.

With the tools that are handy, once replaced, there is no doubt that the strength of the contestants will be greatly affected. The sinister intentions of the immortal worm are basically Sima Zhao's heart, and they are clearly revealed.

Everyone looked at Fang Yu to see what choice the young man made.

But Fang Yu was different from what they imagined, the former looked at the immortal worm in shock, as if looking at a retarded person: "You really let me change my gloves, are you sure?" ”

Seeing his expression, the immortal worm thought that he had a plan, and sneered: "Haha, scared of losing your biggest support? It's okay, if you're afraid, I'll give you a chance to abstain from voting, so you don't have to be embarrassed on stage. ”

"Player B3, pay attention to your words and deeds," the referee hurriedly said: "It is forbidden to threaten and intimidate contestants." ”

Fang Yu was almost laughed at by this guy.

Although the boy is a little ignorant, he is not a saint. The dead fat man shook in front of him three times and twice, always targeting him inexplicably, even if it was a clay man, it was inevitable that he would be angry.

He shook his head and reminded kindly, "I just hope you don't regret it." ”

"Me?" The Immortal Worm almost laughed out loud: "Regret? ”

Everyone's glasses shattered, they didn't expect this young man to agree - this is still too young! Even if he was the most skeptical person before, he couldn't help but shake his head, let alone beat his chest on the side

The referee team was also surprised, and couldn't help but confirm repeatedly: "Are you really sure, D12 player?" ”

"I'm sure," but Fang Yu scratched his head, annoyed by another question, "But I don't have any extra tools to manipulate." ”

"Flutter-" the Immortal Worm squirted out a mouthful of water, "Haha, I'm laughing at me, you and Mr. Rag are really like each other." Is it that miserable? Do you want to"

"Hahaha," the immortal worm laughed out of tears on the side: "Laugh at me, you said you don't have extra manipulation tools, do you have that miserable, do you want me to give you one?" ”

Fang Yu looked at this disgusting guy and grinded his teeth.

But everyone couldn't help laughing, although the alchemist didn't say that he was rich enough to rival the country, but as a life profession, they really hadn't seen anyone fall like this.

Only Tianlan was so angry that she clenched her silver teeth, eager to go up and theorize herself, but as soon as she took a step, she was dragged back by the elf girl and glared at her.

So the little French girl could only give up aggrievedly.

The referee team was also a little crying and laughing for a while, and the dwarf referee touched his sharp beard again and said: "Since this is the case, let's be flexible, and our game side will provide tools——"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Immortal Worm: "Wait, Mr. Referee, I remember that the rules of the competition are that contestants are not allowed to use equipment other than themselves. ”

The dwarf referee was stuck all of a sudden, and it was really unpleasant for this dead fat man to stir up the game three times and twice, and he couldn't help but look at the other party angrily: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"It's not that I'm going to do something," the Immortal Worm replied, waiting here, "but that D12 must use his own equipment, that's the rule." ”

"It's the equipment of yourself and your team." At this time, Hu Di came over and corrected him.

The Immortal Worm was not in a hurry, and replied, "Well, I missed it." But Mr. Rag is a teammate of this 'friend' - don't cheat, the eyes of the crowd are bright. ”

Hu Di actually had this idea, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the threat of the dead fat man.

There was a low boo, but this time it was for the Immortal Worm, and they weren't blind, and of course they could see that the dead fat man was messing around.

It's just that the immortal worm has a thick face, doesn't care about it, and looks proud.

Just when the scene was at a stalemate, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded: "I have gloves!" ”

Everyone turned their heads together, especially Fang Yu, who was a little surprised, and he realized that the person who said this was actually Luo Yu who was standing behind Attila. The tall boy walked out and spoke again: "I'm his teammate, and I have been registered before entering the inn, so Ai ...... Can Char use my gear? ”

The referee's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Mazak not far away, and after getting the latter's confirmation, he hurriedly nodded: "If that's the case, it's natural." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at the immortal worm on the side, the fat man's face was a little gloomy, he obviously didn't expect Fang Yu to be so downcast that he really had teammates. But the rules were like this, and he couldn't object, so he had to nod.

Only then did Luo Yu open his backpack in full view of everyone and take out a gorgeous manipulation glove from it.

The glove is made of brass, the upper part is a streamlined metal shield, the lower part is densely covered with pipes and gears, and the shell is painted with gilt engraving of branches and leaves, and the protrusions together defend an empty dial engraved with the words 'XII, Soar, 173, 1, 12' indicating the identity of the craftsman and the date of manufacture.

The whole glove seems to be a handicraft from the Victorian era.

"This is ......," Hu Di's eyes widened.

Someone in the crowd had already taken the lead in shouting out for him: "The fourth-generation gimbal of the Kingfisher Workshop!" The fat on the face of the immortal worm trembled when he saw the glove from the side.

The control gloves have undergone three generations of improvements, the previous generation is the old slide type control gloves, but it has been eliminated for many years. Now the mainstream is the magic buoy-style manipulation glove, among which the Kingfisher workshop products are the most, and the fourth generation gimbal is the latest generation of products, and the price has been high in the market.

This glove is known as the most sensitive, complex and precise glove because the magic buoy can be pointed vectorly, hence the name gimmick.

Luo Yu carefully lifted the glove and handed it over.

Fang Yu looked at him and was a little strange: "Luo Yu, how can you have craftsman gloves?" ”

But Luo Yu didn't answer his question, and only whispered: "Help me teach that annoying dead fat man a good lesson." ”

The two looked like they were biting their ears, but the latter just bit by word, and the words were very clear, so that everyone around them could hear them clearly. The bystanders couldn't help but hear a low laugh, and the immortal worm was half angry to death: "I protested, he insulted me!" ”

But the gnome referee raised an eyebrow. "The protest is invalid, and the other party is not a contestant."

So the laughter was louder.

The immortal worm's face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't speak of Luo Yu, so he couldn't help but glance at Fang Yu gloomily.

Fang Yu also froze, he didn't expect that the serious Luo Yu also had such a side, he couldn't help but glance at the dead fat man, and nodded: "I promise, he will always remember your glove." ”

"Don't be ashamed!" The immortal worm sneered.

Fang Yu took the gloves, turned around, and looked at him.

"I'll ask one last thing, B3, do you really want me to change my gloves to fight you?" When he said this, the aura of a young man on his body disappeared, and the whole person was as calm as a majestic mountain.

If it's Kapka –

The craftsmen will understand at this moment that someone is going to be unlucky.

Everyone was silent.

Luo Yu and Tianlan also looked at him with some surprise.

Not to mention the immortal worm, the latter didn't even answer for the first time, and it was easy to react, wiped a cold sweat and said a little strangely: "Don't bluff here, I'll make you embarrassed later." ”

Fang Yu glanced at him and only nodded to the referees: "I'm ready, gentlemen referees." ”

The gnome referee also nodded to him kindly.

Because so much time was wasted, the competition team stopped working on the formality - let the dwarfs clear an open space with their hands and hands, and after a simple announcement of the rules, let the two contestants enter.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the first group of matches happened to be a duel between the Immortal Worm and the Fang Plover.

The third round is the final round of the qualifiers, which will determine the two final winners from the first two rounds. The two winners will have the privilege of competing against the losers of the official competition, with the winner advancing to the final round of the Artisan Challenge.

However, the hope of winning the official round is too slim, so the third game of the qualifiers is usually the default final round.

There was silence as everyone waited for the showdown, and Fang Yu took the backpack from Miss Atila, nodded to her, and walked onto the field.

And in the vacated arena, the dead fat man of the immortal worm was already waiting for him there.

The Immortal Worm actually faintly felt that something was wrong at this time--but he still held on to his face and said two words: "If I were you, I would abstain from the game and leave, so as not to be embarrassed-"

Fang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, only put down his backpack, untied the knots on it, and released his walker out of it.

The Immortal Worm was curious about what the guy was doing with the backpack, but his eyes widened when he saw the 'walker'. Not only him, but the entire peripheral arena was slightly silent.

Then burst into laughter.

Many people burst into tears and laughed.

"Oh my God!" Although Tianlan didn't know much about the things of the combat craftsman, she could also see the strength and weakness of the flexible construction, she had never paid serious attention to Fang Yuan's 'walker' before, and suddenly she couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Brother Ed, is his brain broken?" ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The Paparals shouted anxiously below, "Which of you will pick me up!?" ”

But no one paid any attention to him.

Hu Di also watched this scene dumbfounded, but they were okay.

After the immortal worm was stunned for a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so much that he almost rolled on the ground with tears and snot in his eyes.

He clutched his stomach and laughed, and said to the other plover breathlessly, "This is ...... Is this your combat flexible build? Ha ha...... Hahaha, wooden...... Pedestrian...... Still so small? Ha ha...... Hahaha, you're not kidding...... Ouch, my stomach hurts to death...... Are you trying to laugh at me so you can win the game? Hahaha! ”

People laughed even louder, and while most people didn't approve of the Immortal Worm, the Owl's walker was just too hilarious.

Really, they've never seen such a 'cute' combat craftsman.

"This little guy is so cute." Several female adventurers even laughed back and forth.

But only Fang Yu didn't laugh.

And Mazak, who was watching this scene from afar, didn't laugh -

The former adjusted his walker and stood up.

He looked at the immortal worm not far away, and said lightly: "I hope you can still laugh for a while." ”

Of course, the immortal worm could laugh, and when he saw that Fang Yu didn't even bring the magic guide furnace, his heart was even more relieved. I was about to sneer two more sentences, but suddenly I swallowed my words back into my stomach.

Because he saw Fang Yu stretching out his right hand diagonally downward, on the shell of Jin Cheng's control glove, the dial lit up slightly, and the magic buoy lit up in turn, one, two, three...... Up to twenty-four, they rotate in unison clockwise, and then return to their proper positions with each other.

The whole process is extremely smooth.

Then the twenty-four magic buoys disappeared one after another, and finally only six were left pointing in different directions.

The immortal worm swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rubbed its eyes, almost thinking that it had seen it wrong—but Fang Plover had already raised his hand and whispered, "Sword Plover, attack!" ”

Two silver flowers.

The Immortal Worm hurriedly retreated in horror, and then remembered that the rules of the game did not allow attacking him, so he stood in shock. But for a moment, the sword plover was already winding around the back of his shield defender like a silver light.

He'd never seen a flexible build that flexible to this extent—

Shocked, he hurriedly let his shield defender fight back, and the spear stabbed out from behind the big shield, seeing that it was about to hit the flexible structure of the Chinese plover.

But it's the moment.

The Immortal Worm's mouth suddenly opened wide, and there was a look of extreme horror in its eyes.

Not only him, but everyone on the periphery of the entire arena held their breath in unison.

Fang Yu raised his hand, and the six magic powers on the dial pointed to the buoy from bottom to top, and then shifted left and right, making seventeen or eighteen changes at the same time in an instant, almost dazzling.

I saw that the 'sword plover' seemed to come to life, and gently circled around to avoid the spear. Then he leaped forward, lifted his six legs off the ground in turn, and flew like an octopus in mid-air.

Grabbed the shield guard's spear and climbed up.

"Not good!" The Immortal Worm reacted and flicked it with his hand, and the Shield Defender raised his spear and swung it, trying to throw it out.

But it's too late -

Fang Ou's walk was like a tarantula ready to attack, leaping forward, and it had already landed on the head of the shield defender. "It's simpler than the eldest sister's head." He shook his head, then raised his right hand, put his fingers together, and gently swiped from left to right.

The Shield Guardian is a special type of heavy structure, and the Giant Shield is its primary means of protection.

But the ontology, too.

A silver line crosses it.

The Shield Defender sank down, landing on both knees at the same time, kneeling on top of the arena. A head spun and flew high, and fell to the ground with a 'bang' in the eyes of everyone.

Dusty.

The construct's headless body leaned forward and fell heavily.

So on the field.

Only immortal worms, walkers, and plovers remain.

The boy raised his head, his hands still in the air, looking at the other man.

There was calm in the dark eyes, only the pupils dilated outward like flames.

"You've lost."

From the first blow to the last.

It lasts nine seconds –

There was a dead silence in the audience.

……
