Chapter Sixty-Eight: Sylvid's Rivals
Listening to the other party's words, Ander-Uriel couldn't help but sneer: "...... Young people over there? Could it be a contestant? “
He shook his head: "...... Hmph, coppernose, you old thing is really just as cunning, you are not my opponent when you play chess, so you find a way to find an off-board move to save face? ”
Immediately, there was a low roar from the crystal.
The nasal voice shouted angrily, "You don't care who I found out, old blacksmith, I am the president of the Alchemist Alliance, and my students are all over the world. It's not like you can't find an heir, so you can't use this to restrict my students, right? ”
"Who can't find an heir?" Ander-Uriel was stunned for a moment, and his face sank. As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap them in the face, is it his fault that he hasn't found a student all these years? It's not because I don't look down on the qualifications of those rotten woods.
The successors of the Southern Alchemist Alliance are really inferior to the next generation.
And the voice in the crystal saw that he was angry, not only was not afraid at all, but was very proud: "What about your students, old blacksmith?" ”
"He-" And-Uriel stared at him and was about to speak when he remembered that the two young men beside him were not his students. However, he glanced back at Fang Yu and Sylvid, and his mouth still refused to admit defeat: "Isn't my student here?" ”
Coppernose laughed: "Since you're here, why don't you dare to compete with the person I found?" ”
He deliberately shrieked his voice and replied, "I think you're afraid, old blacksmith, after all, I haven't heard of any of your students before, so you won't find someone from somewhere to make up for it?" Why don't I give you a face and help that young man find a weak opponent? ”
There was a low laugh from the crystal.
Ander Uriel gasped, although he knew that this was the other party's agitation, he was still almost half angry. His snow-white eyebrows raised, and he was furious: "What, I don't dare? Coppernose, are you mistaken? How many times have you and I won a competition over the past few decades? ”
This sarcasm obviously pierced the heart, and the other side didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said, "...... This is the time. ”
The laughter that came from the crystal was even louder, almost laughing, and it was clear that André-Uriel and Coppernose were not the only ones in the crystal, but there were many others as well. The laughter of these people caused Brass Nose to shout, "Shut up for me." ”
He turned around and asked angrily, "Old blacksmith, are you better or not?" ”
Ander-Uriel's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light flashed in his silver-gray eyes: "Compare, why don't you compare, no matter who you are, this time you will always lose convincingly!" ”
There was a disdainful mutter: ...... Hmph, the dead duck has a hard beak ......"
The old man squinted his eyes again, and then he turned around and looked at Sylvid and Fang Ou—
Fang Yu couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, he thought to himself that most of the craftsmen in this crystal were also figures with heads and faces, why did they argue like children here one by one, and everything had to be compared.
And listening to the other party's name, he finally realized who the 'copper-nosed head' on that end was - it was the current president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance. The other party seems to be called Sonam-Steel Eyebrow, since the people of the Steel Eyebrow family are, of course, from the dwarf clan of Ishurian.
However, the dwarves cooperate closely with the artisan guilds in various places, and it is not surprising that they hold the position of president, and you don't see that the president of the artisan guild of Elpakhin is also a dwarf, Rogerta, the stone mountain dwarf of the Spark Clan.
Sonam-Steelbrow's Southern Alchemist Alliance is naturally not as famous as when Ander Uriel was in office, but to become a long-term leader, at least it must be at the level of a master craftsman.
And this Mr. Ander-Uriel actually asked him to compete against the other in the first place? It's inevitable that he looks down on people too much, and it's no wonder that the 'copper-nosed head' is unwilling to accept it, and Fang Yu can't help but cry and laugh.
However, he didn't feel much uneasiness in his heart, but was a little eager to try, after all, even standing on the opposite side of such a behemoth as the Flor Descendant and the Worship of the Dragons did not make him toss and turn and have trouble sleeping.
What's wrong with playing chess with a craftsman president? If it's big, it's an abandoned son who admits defeat, and the other party can still come along the network cable and eat himself? On the contrary, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, after all, you can experience what the level of the world's top craftsmen is.
André Uriel turned his head and saw the little guy's eyebrows fluttering, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart—after all, when the little girl from Albert's family grabbed this stunned hand before, he didn't see him happy like this.
The little girl of the Albert family was raised by him, and naturally knew how good this little girl was, not to mention her background and background, she was also a slim beauty, and like her mother when she was young, she had many suitors in Kaurin-Ihurian.
He originally wanted to cheer up this young man, but when he saw Fang Yu's old face there, he couldn't help but ask, "Little guy, aren't you worried?" ”
"Worried about what?" Fang Yu also froze: "...... Mr. Ander Uriel, you mean? ”
André Uriel was stunned for a moment, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart:
He gestured and asked, "...... Like what will you lose? ”
Fang Yu scratched his head when he heard this, and smiled shyly.
The legendary alchemist and former president of the Southern Alliance, Ander Uriel, had expected the other party to give him a confident reply: 'Lose, how can you lose?' To be honest, he doesn't really like young people who are too flamboyant.
The alchemist, in André-Uriel's view, should be calm and discreet, cautious and thorough, and enthusiastic about his profession as a craftsman; But in the Southern Union, especially among the Chosen One, there are fewer and fewer such young people.
This is probably the generation gap, he thought; However, when he got older, his temper was not as straightforward as when he was in his prime, and if Fang Yu answered like this, he could actually accept it - young people, it is normal to be arrogant.
As long as he can give 'Coppernose' an unforgettable lesson, he can accept it.
But what this legendary alchemist, the former president of the Southern Alliance, never expected was-
Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "...... If you lose, you lose? ”
With a bang, Parker was looking for something interesting on the bookshelf behind him, when he heard this, he hit his head on the bookshelf, and almost buried the book that fell on it.
Not far away, the dwarfs screamed and ran over before pulling the latter out from underneath.
Sylvid couldn't help but snort when she heard the answer next to her, and rarely laughed directly, the girl's eyes were crooked, and she looked very beautiful.
And Ander Uriel was so angry with this guy that he was speechless, he finally relieved his breath, couldn't help but stare at this guy seriously, and said: "Listen, kid - you can do anything, but you must not lose!" ”
"Huh?"
"Ah what, do you hear that?"
Fang Yu looked at Sylvide who was smiling on the side, and then at the legendary alchemist with a serious face in front of him, probably thinking about why the other party was so stern, so he nodded a little seriously.
However, in his opinion, if the opponent is not the president, he should not lose...... Right?
Seeing him nod, André-Uriel turned away with some reassurance. But after this question and answer, he always felt that this young man was a little unreliable, and he had to admit that he had seen those young generation of craftsmen in the Southern Alliance.
The arrogance is a little arrogant, but at least the ability is still there. He couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his own philosophy, was he mistaken, a young alchemist should be full of confidence?
At least not what this guy looks like.
And over there, the old craftsmen of Yishui in the crystal also quickly rearranged the chessboard.
However, Fang Yu saw that the new chessboard was very different from the original one, and the chessboard was no longer a straight, criss-crossing network of light, and the large and small structures on it had also disappeared.
The new board no longer looked like the second training mode Shana had given him, but more like the one he'd seen above the Continental League.
It was a huge sphere made up of countless points of light.
As soon as Fang Yu saw this thing, he understood.
Obviously, what those old craftsmen used to play chess was obviously a higher-level training mode, and his confrontation with the opposing young people, these craftsmen gave them a much more basic venue.
This is the basic confrontation training of computing power -
Miss Ship Officer stood aside, and this ball of light was also reflected in her light blue eyes, but her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly said to Ander-Uriel: "This is the basic training confrontation of computing power?" ”
André Uriel nodded.
Sylvid thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Can I try it too?" ”
The old man was stunned, the basic training of computing power was actually originally used to select talented newcomers, so it was not necessary for a professional alchemist to participate in this kind of confrontation game.
However, although this little girl of the Albert family is half of the blood of the Sirin-Sibika family, she has hardly shown much interest in alchemy since she was a child.
He watched this little girl grow up, and naturally knew this. Or maybe it was the life of Lady Burrian that made some changes to the other party? However, he also knew that the other party had been precocious since he was a child, and he would never be untargeted: "Little girl, what do you mean?" ”
Sylvid glanced at Fang Ou, then nodded.
Fang Yu was also a little surprised, and looked at the latter in surprise, he had never heard that Miss Ship Officer was also interested in these things.
And-Uriel pondered for a moment, the other party was the granddaughter of his old friend, and he watched her grow up, so naturally he would not even agree to this little thing. Seeing that the other party insisted, he nodded and stopped everyone in the crystal:
"Wait a minute, guys."
"What's wrong again?" The copper nose was obviously a little unhappy because of his previous words: "Old blacksmith, why are you so mother-in-law, this is not like you." ”
"You shut up for me," replied André-Uriel angrily, "nothing, it's just that we need a different person on our side." ”
"Substitution?"
Coppernose scolded and scolded: "Old blacksmith, you don't want to go out in person to save face?"
André Uriel was so angry with this guy that he thought to himself that no matter how shameless he was, he wouldn't go out to deal with a junior himself. "Coppernose, don't talk if you can't spit out ivory in your dog's mouth, can you talk past your already incomplete brain before?"
He said angrily: "It's Albert's little girl, she wants to try it." ”
"Ahh
There was a low cry from the other end of the crystal.
And then there was no follow-up.
……
Coppernose, or the current president of the Confederate Alliance, is walking down from the high platform in a sneering manner. As Fang Ou imagined, Sonam Steelbrow is a standard dwarf with all the characteristics of a dwarf.
For example, they are cautious, have a bad temper and a loud voice, and are also stubborn, but the stubbornness and concentration of dwarves also make them go further and further on the road of alchemy, and dwarven craftsmen like Sonam Steel Eyebrow often have a good hand.
In fact, he was.
In his early years as a member of the General Council of Goland Artisans, he was one of the authorities on the alchemical medicine of Kaulin-Ishurian. After coming to the south, he was also a top master of potions, and served as the vice president of alchemy and pharmacy of the three artisan associations.
In his own words, he was a well-known figure in the world of Kaulin-Ishurian alchemy.
Ander-Uriel, of course, scoffs at this.
The dwarves of Eldron live in the alpine and cold regions, and their large noses tend to be red from the cold, but Sonam-Steelbrow is an exception, his nose is yellow and more like metal due to the experiments of the alchemists in his early years.
Hence the nickname of a copper-nosed tip.
Like most dwarves, he didn't really care about the nickname - after all, what a shame it would be for a dwarf not to have a loud nickname.
The hall was full of people—
As Ander Uriel had guessed, the Burnrik region is preparing for the final match of the upcoming Cowlin-Ihurian Continental League. Teams from all over the Tarun, Guta, Ishurian, and the Coast of the Scepter have arrived in this place over the course of these days.
Many of these people are electees.
Or should I say, most of them.
At this time of year, arguably the best young generation of alchemists in the Kaulin-Ishurian region converge in this place. In the early years, the finals were usually held in Golland.
However, this time the choice was made in the south, apparently to ease the tension between the north and the south, and the goodwill of the artisan association.
But how much effect it can have, I'm afraid only God knows.
Sonam Steelbrow's face flushed, he didn't expect that the person who offered to participate would be the precious little princess of Arecio Sirin Sibica. He had also been favored by his maternal grandfather in his early years, and the dwarves were a little bad-tempered, but at least they were not treacherous.
Not to mention how influential was the former head of the Sirin-Sibika family in the South?
Even a legendary alchemist with a prominent reputation, Ander Uriel, was once only one of the other party's assistants.
So as soon as the latter spoke, there was silence in the crystal.
Some even had some surprises: "Our little princess is back?" ”
"Shut up and be quiet!"
Sonam Gangmei didn't bother to listen to these old guys' discussions, he had been in the south for fifteen years, and he had already regarded this place as his second home. And the south is as warm as spring, much better than the bitter cold of Eldron.
He put down the crystal and walked down the high platform before saying to a middle-aged man on the side, "Did you hear that?" There's going to be another person over there, and the other party's status is very high, so you should also go and change someone and find a less powerful opponent. ”
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned: "Who is the other party?" ”
"Less nonsense," Sonam replied with Steeleyebrow, "This is an opportunity for you, take advantage of it yourself—hmph, if it weren't for the young people in your team that I like best, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you Guta people." ”
The middle-aged man shrugged.
Kaurin-Ishurian, whether dwarves or humans, look down on the 'barbarians' of the Knights of the Ancient Towers.
However, he is only an earthling, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to the 'chain of discrimination' between these aborigines. He nodded and bowed politely before parting the crowd and walking out.
The middle-aged man walked through the hall and came to the side of the hall gate, where there was a thick circle of people on the inside and outside of the three floors. In the middle of the crowd was a smaller magic training engine, which looked almost indistinguishable from the one in the center of the hall, except that it was not connected to the magic network.
A web of light is projecting above the Wizard Training Engine.
A teenager and a teenage girl are each holding a resonance crystal, located at each end of the light net.
However, compared to the girl's calm face, the young man was obviously sweating profusely and looked nervous. When the middle-aged man walked in separately from the crowd, the latter finally couldn't help but let go of the crystal in his hand and shook his head dejectedly:
"I lost...... Damn, almost. ”
"Almost?" The girl raised her head, a little aggressive: "I'm not serious, you're much worse." She snorted softly again: "The crown of the silver forest is nothing more than that. ”
The young man gave her a word that turned red and couldn't say a word.
An angry scold came from the crowd: "What are you talking about, stinky woman!? ”
The girl turned around and saw a group of members of the Silver Forest Spear holding back a scolding young man, who would have recognized his ID if Fang Yu had been here—Liuyue. And beside the other party, there was a little girl who was shouting angrily: "Dead stick, what's there to be proud of!?" Do you have the ability to compete with this girl? ”
Vikki only shook his head, not bothering to pay attention to these boring people.
And it was at this time that a voice came from behind her: "Vikki, come here." ”
The girl ruffled her hair, turned around, and asked, "What's the matter, coach, is it ready over there?" ”
"No," it was the middle-aged man who spoke, he shook his head: "The other party is going to change people, he is an aborigine, I heard that his status is very high......" The middle-aged man looked at a squinting and glassed teenager on the side of the girl: "Yu Hao, you are on this scene." ”
The boy nodded a little sneeringly.
"It's a nuisance." The girl couldn't help but complain.
