Aitalia has a tradition of holding tournaments and celebrations before the start of the winter hunt, which grew out of the ancient knightly challenge.

And the real rise of the various competitions came after the Chosen came to Aitalia. This novel form of competition on earth aroused the interest of the aristocracy, and then spread from top to bottom.

Today, dozens of tournaments have been formed.

The most authoritative of these are undoubtedly the three major events of the Super Athletic League, including the top Second World Athletic Tournament - which is the only event that most real-life fans pay attention to and know.

But for now, this competition should be a small project in the local area of Elpahin, initiated by the Elpakhin Artisan Association, so that Fang Yu had never heard of it before.

However, he was not very interested in the challenge, only the rewards, and couldn't help asking, "What exactly is the Golden Flame Ring?" ”

"It's a magical ring." Luo Yu replied.

"It's the skill of the Noumerin Elves, Brother Ed," Kita took Luo Yu's words and explained in a low voice, "The Noumerin Elves are very good at fine magic control, and they infuse their weak magic power into the rings through the art of forging, so that they can gain very special powers. This technique is inherited by today's forgers, they are not as powerful as magicians, but the biggest feature is that they can be used by ordinary people without the power of core crystals. ”

"And what kind of power does the Golden Flame Ring have?" It was the first time Fang Yu had heard of the existence of such a thing, and he couldn't help but ask very curiously.

Kita shook her head.

At this time, the voice of Sky Blue came from the side: "No one knows what kind of power the Golden Flame Ring has, only that this ring is one of the most proud works of the owner of this place, and it is said that it is carved from the golden eyes of a dead dragon, and it has great power." ”

Fang Yu turned around, only to see that Tianlan and Attila didn't know when they had returned, and the two separated from the crowd and walked in front of them.

Sky Blue threw a brooch on the table with a 'dang', and the others subconsciously looked and saw that it was a black brooch with half of a fire-breathing dragon's head engraved on it, and the convex surface was plated with a layer of silver, which glittered in the firelight.

"What is this?" Luo Yu couldn't help asking.

And the reason why it is said that the brooch is half the head of the dragon is because it lacks half of the chin and a dragon horn. Fang Yuan's heart palpitated when he saw this emblem, and he subconsciously raised his head, and saw that the huge dragon horn was still hanging on the dome of the hall, and there was nothing abnormal between the swaying firelight.

Attila then replied, "This thing was found by the Black Goat's people at the scene. ”

"They gave this to you?" Fang Yu asked.

"Is that the only one, Sister Attila?" Kita also asked.

The elven girls all nodded, their expressions a little haggard.

Tianlan looked at her worriedly, then turned back and asked, "So do you recognize this thing?" ”

Several people shook their heads.

Only Kita held up the brooch, looked at the light, and then said apologetically, "There are too many organizations with dragons as markers, my level is too low, and my analytical skills are not enough to sift out clues, Sister Attila." ”

"It's okay." The elf girl smiled reluctantly and shook her head to show that she didn't mind.

Kita put down the brooch again, but said seriously: "But, but it's not impossible, fortunately we are near Elpahin, and Elpahim has a large library of the Silver Tower, which may be able to help us." ”

"Then we'll go to Elpahin," Sky Blue immediately decided, "It just so happens that Brother Ed is going over there, isn't it?" She looked back at the latter.

Of course, Fang Yu understood what she meant, and nodded hurriedly—not to mention that he was also going to Elpahin.

Attila couldn't help but be very moved, and looked at the little guys with some embarrassment: "But your trainee assessment? ”

"It's going to be the middle of the moon of the light cage (October), and it's still very early." The little French girl looked indifferent, and Kita and Luo Yu also nodded.

Attila took a soft breath, nodded and said no more, pulling out her chair and taking her seat.

Sky Blue also sat down and asked curiously, "What were you discussing earlier?" "The thick wooden table was a round table, and it didn't look cramped for six people.

The hall is brightly lit and people come and go.

In the distance, a dwarf sang and danced barefoot on a table with a lute in his arms, and the sound of the lyre tinkling, and the adventurers laughed from time to time, drowning out all sounds.

Fang Yuan's attention was irrepressibly attracted and pulled over, looking over there curiously.

Kita replied honestly, "Yes, we're discussing the Challenge, Miss Frey." ”

"Ahh Tianlan's face was abrupt, and he suddenly turned back with great interest: "Speaking of which, Brother Ed, you are also a combat craftsman, don't you plan to try?" ”

When she said this, Luo Yu also looked at the latter with deep understanding. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before turning around and asking, "Didn't you say that it was already the final stage, how could you still participate?" ”

Another cheer came from the distance, overshadowing the French girl's answer.

She frowned and said loudly: "This kind of private competition is not so strict, in fact, in addition to the finals, there will be some performance side competitions. ”

"Side matches?" Fang Yu also asked loudly, but the focus of this poor jingle guy was obviously not on the game: "Is there a reward too?" ”

Seeing this, Tianlan couldn't help but laugh: "Of course there is, there are three peripheral competitions, and the final winner will get 50,000 lissell." In addition, the final winner will have a chance to be seeded in the finals and become a challenger, and if you are lucky, you can also enter the finals. ”

"Of course," she shook her head, as if she knew the inside story very well. "Just think about this kind of opportunity, the seeded players who can enter the finals are all future stars cultivated by the Grand Guild, and the so-called challenge is actually just a disguised exhibition match-"

But Fang Yu only listened to the first half of the sentence at all: "How much is the bonus?" ”

Sky Blue opened her five fingers and shook at him: "Fifty thousand, Riesel." ”

"So where should I sign up?" Fang Yu immediately asked.

The little French girl also couldn't stand his money-obsessed appearance, and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I haven't started yet, let's wait for the meal to start, I'm almost hungry." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be convinced by this wise proposal.

Attila then rang the bell on the table, and the bell was carried down a thin line along a tube buried in the ground to another hall. There, a dwarf with a beard dragging to the ground looked at the bells that hung densely on the wall, looked down at the long scroll in his hand, and shouted:

"Table 17, third row."

Behind him was a huge kitchen, and it was in full swing, when a group of brown-skinned dwarfs came out from behind, carrying silver plates.

The gnwarfs are ugly-looking creatures, but they don't have a bad heart, and some people think that they have purgatory-blooded from their brown-red skin, but this skin color is just the protective color of their lives in the brown deserts of the Othello Empire.

They were a hard-working race that had previously been slaves of the Otsyrian Empire, but after the Battle of Byrne, a large number of dwarfs fled into the realm of Kaurin-Ishurian, where they lived a comfortable life.

At least that's what they think.

The intelligence of the dwarfs is generally not high, so they often make mistakes in their work, such as a little guy with a soup pot on his head bumping into his companion in a hurry, making a mess of the scene and almost staining Kita's robes.

The dwarf who supervised their work scolded loudly, causing the former to tremble. But the other adventurers in the hall were so accustomed to it that they couldn't help but laugh, and Sky Blue giggled when she saw this.

It's like she didn't order the spilled soup—

Only Attila walked over and patted the little fellow on the shoulder, signaling that it didn't have to worry, and she said to the dwarf that they didn't care about the little thing if there was no soup.

The dwarf bowed to her.

Seeing this, an adventurer stood up and raised her glass: "Salute to you, good fairy lady!" ”

Attila also raised her glass in response: "To Lady Amea, Master of the Forest, Refuge of Nature, May she be forever young—" It is rumored that Améa is a beauty-loving lady, and that is one of her favorite prayers.

Then Attila picked up the ale in her hand, drank it up, and then put down the empty glass and showed it to everyone.

The people in the hall who saw this scene couldn't help but applaud loudly, and the cheers were like a sea of cheers.

It's rare to see such a bold lady.

Tianlan couldn't help but applaud and slapped her palms red.

Fang Ou sometimes thinks that Attila and Miss Scarpe are very similar, both of them are very angry personalities, but Attila is obviously more gentle, and Miss Scarpe can really beat people when she gets angry.

It is said that the forest elves who follow the teachings of the goddess Ameya are warm and friendly, and the elven maiden is a living example.

Today's Traveler's Rest serves two of Talon's signature dishes, with the smoked silver trout discovered by the air-sea sailors of the Cloud Sea – the smoked silver trout was born after the sailors discovered that the fish could be preserved after being salted and smoked during long voyages.

Today, smoked silver trout is an important first dish in Kaulin-Ishurian, and the Talen silver trout is very different from the silver trout on Earth, and their flesh is a rare silver color, like a thin moonshine.

After being smoked and marinated, the fish is attached to a snow-white porcelain plate like layers of silver foil, and then decorated with horseradish leaves and celery. The dwarven chefs of Traveler's Rest have decorated black olives on the silver flesh, which is a beautiful contrast between black and white.

Roast venison is another rugged style.

After cutting, the tender red meat chops are layered like a tower, and the oily golden gravy is brushed with a layer of honey, which is fragrant; The thick meat has the scorch of the grill, and the fat is like a pine pod, slowly falling from the crisp yellow skin, and the silver plate underneath is specially heated, and the juice falls on it and makes a sizzling sound.

A heavy smell of spices hits the face.

Attila took the initiative to stand up and cut meat for everyone, but Sky Blue was a very picky eater, picking a little bit from east to west like a precious little princess, and she didn't eat much at all.

As a result, he received a light blow on the head from Attila, who frowned and said, "Don't be a picky eater. ”

"But it's far worse than Miss Attila's craftsmanship." Sky Blue turned to beg the elf girl to open a small stove for her.

The latter couldn't stand it, so he could only nod and agree.

"Sister Attila just spoils Miss Frey too much." Kita looked a little unhappy and said with a frown.

Fang Yu was very curious about Attila's cooking skills, and wiped the grease from his mouth.

At this moment, a fierce argument came from behind him—he was stunned for a moment, only to realize that someone in that direction was actually discussing the conflict between the Jeffrey Redcoats and the Spears of the Silver Forest.

Fang Yu turned his head with some curiosity, because the other party was discussing what happened in the elven ruins the day before.

Since he hadn't been in the community to follow the events for the time being, the discussion was quite new to him. It turned out that the Jeffrey Redcoats and the Spear of the Silver Forest had returned to the ruins shortly after, and there had been a small clash.

The reason for this is to compete for the giant structure called 'Kerta'.

While the Megastructure is a product of a bygone era with its flaws, it's at least powerful enough - and the feldspar inside it is a real goodie.

But what Fang Yu really cared about was the name that was occasionally mentioned between the discussions.

Mia.

She snatched the Hailin crown under the noses of the two guilds, and naturally became the focus of people's attention. It's a pity that at this time the dwarf poet sang to a wonderful point again, and the applause in the distance continued, once again overpowering the voice of discussion.

Fang Yu only vaguely heard the words 'witch', 'covenant' and 'wanted warrant' in the noisy voice.

When the applause passed, the discussion shifted to Dawnstar—but mostly to him. People were talking about the genius boy who appeared in the community.

Some people swear that Fang Yu is actually a stowaway, so it has attracted the attention of the military.

Hearing this, Fang Yu broke out in a cold sweat, and almost let the fork in his hand fall to the ground. Attila grabbed the fork and asked him with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing," Fang Yu replied very humbly, "...... Yes, I choked a little. ”

"Slow down," Attila looked at him gently, handing the fork over, "no one is robbing you." ”

But Fang Yu was about to cry.

However, he was still quietly following the discussion over there, and fortunately there were not many people who believed that person. Because someone is refuting the other side's 'ridiculous statements', his argument is very tenable - smugglers are not systematic.

If a person without a system can be dual-controlled, then he can't go to heaven if he has a system?

The man said stiffly that it was because of this that the military attached so much importance to it.

But there was a burst of ridicule.

Fang Yu wanted to shut up this person, but on the one hand, it was inevitable that some teenagers would show their desires, and they couldn't wait to stand up and tell these people that that person was him, and his thoughts were very complicated for a while.

But at this time, Luo Yu suddenly spoke, and he seemed to have heard the other party's discussion: "Speaking of which, I also watched that video, whether he is a stowaway or not, but it is really powerful." ”

"Oh?" Tianlan raised the bar and said: "Isn't it just dual control, at most, it's just a bit of a combat craftsman's talent, maybe it's not as powerful as Brother Ed." ”

"Really, Brother Ed?" She looked over this way.

Fang Yu nodded without knowing what mood he was in.

But Luo Yu shook his head: "It's not that simple, I went to check the information of the Dawn Star afterwards." ”

Fang Yu's heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The boy gave him a strange look before replying, "They left a personnel registration form when they were hired by the descendants of Flor, but there was no combat craftsman on it, but an alchemist who accompanied the team. ”

Fang Yu sighed in his heart.

"It's over." He thought, he had forgotten about it. He was just a little transparent at the time, how could he have thought that so many things would happen later? So what was left on the registration form at that time was the real ID.

Fang Yu only felt that his hair was about to stand on end.

But Luo Yu continued: "That alchemist, both in age and origin, is very close, but there is only one thing that is very strange, he is only a second-level trainee alchemist. ”

"You're not bragging, are you, Luo Yu?" Sky Blue said incredulously: "A second-level trainee alchemist, isn't that a little lower than our level, how can he dual-control the clockwork goblin?" ”

"I'm just saying it's a possibility."

Tianlan frowned: "Okay then, what's the name of this weird guy?" I'll go find someone to check it out for you. ”

"Don't answer!" Fang Yu shouted in his heart: "Here are the three-body people!" Don't answer! ”

At that moment, he only felt that he was a condemned prisoner, the gallows was in front of him, and there were at most three steps to live in front of him.

But unexpectedly, Luo Yuque shook his head: "It's not clear, the descendants of Flor have not announced the names of the personnel." ”

"Hmph," the little French girl snorted lightly, "It stands to reason that they suspect that the Helin Crown may also be in the hands of the Dawn Star survivors, so naturally they won't hand over the list." ”

Fang Yu let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of his life.

But the ups and downs of life are sometimes so sudden.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the hall, and everyone involuntarily stopped talking and subconsciously looked in that direction, and then saw a group of people in black coats walking in from there in unison.

Fang Yu was still a little dizzy in his mind at that time, and he didn't react for a while, and thought to himself: "These people's uniforms are quite familiar!" ”

But the words of a person next to him almost blew him up from his chair: "Isn't that someone from the Stargate Special Operations Team, how did you get here?" ”

Fang Yu almost ran away at that time.
