The wandering horse settled the bill and walked briskly into the Elpahin Artisans' Association. There was a thick red carpet and flower petals on the inside of Hall X, which he hadn't seen in such a grand sight the last time he was here.

As soon as he passed through the crowd, the wandering horse heard someone calling his name.

"Mr. Stray Horse, over here! Thank goodness you've finally arrived! A cute dwarven lady was waving at him. She was a little blessed, and the wrinkles on her face were piled together: "Rotas is on board, I heard that your boat is a little late, I should have someone pick you up." But you don't know how many things are busy here, and I've been anxious all morning. ”

"Haven't I come, Lady Elsa," the wandering horse opened his arms and gave a warm hug to the dwarven lady who trotted over, "You haven't changed at all, the last time I saw you was half a year ago." Oh no, if you have to say, you're a lot younger, ma'am. ”

The Dwarven Lady laughed with joy. "Come on, I know, I know, I know my own situation, dear friend. I'm old, I'm not young anymore, I'm one hundred and twenty years old, which is not young among the dwarves, and this may be the last time I'll be on the organizing committee for the Continental League, after which I'll have to retire. How I miss the mountains of Ishurian, and my little warm cave, where the fireplace is lit up in winter, and my knees don't hurt so much. ”

She enthusiastically grabbed the latter's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet those old diehards, they have been busy lately, and they definitely didn't expect you to come over this time to broadcast this competition." Then again, how did you get this opportunity, the last time I met you, you were still a newcomer. ”

The wandering horse smiled slightly: "It's just a coincidence, Ms. Elsa, I didn't expect it either." ”

Before receiving the commission from the military, he really didn't expect that a freelance anchor like himself, who was not in the mainstream vision, would get such an important opportunity.

That's why he immediately interrupted his live broadcast plan in the Giant Tree Hill and hurried back to Aquin.

Although the Continental Alchemy League is only a non-combat-oriented event, in terms of scale, it is only second to the three major super events in the second world. The participating areas cover the four floating continents of Cloud Sea, Arsyria, Giant Tree Hill and Rotao, so there is also a saying of an intercontinental alchemy competition.

It's just that this competition only includes traditional alchemy items, and there are no combat craftsmen to participate, so the attention on the earth will be tepid.

But even such a live broadcast task is a project that major platforms compete for, and the wandering horse doesn't know what medicine the military has taken wrong this time, so he caught the strong man on his head.

Before that, he had signed a long-term contract with Xingmen Port, but that was only a temporary worker at best.

However, he had heard rumors about the shortage of manpower in Xingmen Port in recent times. It seems that most of the internal security forces of Stargate Port have entered Attaria one after another, and some time ago, news about the unstable situation in the second world came, which made people panic for a while, thinking that a world war was about to break out again.

Naturally, he was suspicious of these rumored wandering horses, but fortunately, he finally had some connections in the Elpahim Artisan Association, so he wouldn't be blinded.

I don't know if the military is taking a fancy to this.

The Continental Alchemy League doesn't get much attention on Earth, but in Aitalia, it's the opposite.

The league rotates approximately every two years. In the first year, 22 winning teams from each region will be selected through a round-robin format, and then a six-month off-season will begin. Half a year later, in the second half of the league, the five teams with the highest points were selected from the 22 winning teams to advance to the final stage.

In the final stage, a total of twenty teams from four regions, plus six directly invited teams appointed by the royal families, will compete for the final championship in the Hall of the Holy Kings of the Othello Empire during the hot summer months.

In fact, every two years, many genius alchemists emerge on the mainland because of this event, because most of these genius alchemists will eventually flow to the major forces and the Elector Guild, and because of this, this competition has also become the target of these big forces.

Like the Kaolin Business Alliance, in fact, it is precisely by virtue of the absorption of these excellent alchemists that in recent years, there have been signs of unifying the sea of clouds and even competing with the Kaolin Craftsman Association.

And the two largest guilds in the country, Silver Vislan and Elite Guild, almost a quarter of the master craftsmen are from this group.

In Aitalia, the royal families also saw it as a means of cultivating their own echelon of young alchemists, and saw it as an important way to show off their national power and show off their alchemical development.

Because of these reasons, the development of the continental league has gradually been in full swing in recent years.

The two walked down the hall and through the back hallway. The Elpahim Craftsmen's Union has placed the competition venue in the square behind the Craftsmen's Association, which was originally an arena, but it is only used for civic celebrations on weekdays.

The second half of the league has been alternating between several cities, and this is the second time that Al Pakhin has come and today will be the most important one.

The top five places in the final will be determined.

The wandering horse turned around and asked, "Lady Elsa, how are you preparing for the race?" ”

"All is well, but you know those old diehards, holding their breath and wanting to be ashamed. I've seen the young men that Rogetta had chosen from the union, and they were far from it, and they had only figured out what alchemy was. It's hard for me to beat my opponents, especially the Iron Oak Principality."

"Is it really that difficult this year?" The wandering horse himself is just a landscape anchor, and he doesn't know much about this aspect, and he hurriedly did his homework on the way here, knowing that this year's Chinese competition is generally sluggish, but he didn't expect it to be so sluggish.

Aisha shook her head.

Located to the east of the Sea of Clouds and north of Ishurian, the Knights of Guta is a united kingdom of small states with a strong people, and has always had territorial disputes with Ishurian. And because only these two larger national forces belong to the same division, both of them have been particularly fierce in the continental league competition over the years.

It can even be said that there is a feud

After all, in Aitalia, there is no such thing as friendship first, competition second.

It is said that before the new king of Kaolin succeeded to the throne, the previous king Abid'an would let his court alchemists visit the countries of Guta every year, which was actually a naked show off of strength, which made the nobles of the Duchy of Guta itch their teeth.

The continental league has a long history, even before the three major super events, and has been held for 11 sessions today. The one who won the most championships was naturally the undisputed overlord of the alchemy world, the Assyrian Empire. Not to be outdone, Kharin-Ishurian is not to be outdone, with the number of trophies he owns is not far behind.

In the face of such strength, the Guta people naturally have nothing to say.

However, in recent years, the situation has gradually changed, especially with the overall sluggishness of the Chinese competition in the past two years, and Korin Ishurian has also lost in various competitions. Two years ago, Korin Ishurian's four teams were almost wiped out, and it was a mysterious team of unknown origin who managed to retain a second place.

And this year, in the first half of the round, most of the 22 teams from Kaulin Ishurian have sunk. This is still something unprecedented in history, so much so that it alarmed the royal family of Cowling.

"Look at it, it's not just the Kalin royal family, but also the Casting Hall. We need to keep at least three of the five seats, otherwise we won't be able to raise our heads in front of the Guta for the next two years. President Thorne's hair turned gray with worry, and this year, even the team of the Elpahim Artisan Guild did not have an advantage in front of the other side. Aisha replied.

The two of them had already arrived at the square branch.

Today's square is naturally different from usual, with celebratory curtains and banners erected over the sky, and a carpet on the walkway.

The wandering horses looked around, only to see a sea of people in the stands around them, and they were black and oppressive. Not far away was the VIP stand, which was red and the knights stood solemnly, and he recognized them as the Knights of the Dawn from Kaurin. The Red Knight was only guarded by two people, one of whom was the Archon of Elpahim, and the Count of Sandor was a tall mantle, with black hair and a shawl being his distinctive feature.

The other was fat, slightly bald on the top of his head, dressed in a gorgeous robe, and was about forty years old. The Dwarven Lady turned back to him and said, "That's Prince Coleman." ”

The wandering horses are now clear. Prince Coleman is a direct descendant of the royal family of Cowling, the only of the two children of Queen Fossa who did not die young, the younger brother of the former King Abidian, and the fourth son of her husband of a Count who has never been disclosed, and the uncle of the current young king.

It is said that he was born with great intelligence, but he was lame and had rabbit lips, and his ugly appearance was not liked by courtiers.

This was the first time that the wandering horses had seen the long-known prince, and there were not too many rumors about him in Kaurin Ishurian. Some say he was cruel and lustful, while others said he was cold and fair, but it was almost certain that he was not liked by the new king, who was only fourteen years old

But in any case, this prince is enough to be said to be a heavyweight in the arena of Elpahim.

It's no wonder that the Dwarven Lady would say how stressed the Elpahim Artisans would be.

However, as the Elector, he had little interest in the political structure of the Kaulin Kingdom, and only turned his gaze to the side. Next to the crimson knight was a deep black, and there were rows of Ihurian dwarves seated neatly, mainly the two clans of Steel Eyebrows and the Dwarfs, and this time the wandering horses recognized the origin of these dwarves without need to be reminded by Elsa.

The dwarves were silent and silent, and their expressions were solemn, and these underground peoples of Eldron were skilled in metallurgy and alchemy, and the shaking of Kaulin Ishurian's position in the alchemical world had a much deeper impact on them.

His gaze passed over the dwarves, and further east, he saw the representatives of the knightly kingdoms of the ancient towers. In that direction, the staff of the Artisan Guild were adjusting the last set of projection crystals, and not far away, several dwarves wearing the alchemist robes of the Elpahin Artisan Guild were fiercely arguing with each other over something.

The wandering horse was slightly stunned. "What are they doing, those are the people of the Guta Artisans?"

"Who's to say it isn't." The dwarf lady said with a frown. "Those people are the electors of the General Guild of Guta Artisans, they"

She was about to say something more, when a shocking cheer suddenly erupted from outside the field, attracting the attention of the two.

The wandering horses and Elsa both turned their heads in that direction. The dwarf lady's eyes widened when she saw the crowd entering the hall in that direction. And the former had already shouted before her.

"Elf Queen, why are they here too?!"

"Brianne Calanhill!"

Outside the gates of the General Association of Craftsmen.

Fang looked at the carriage on the other side of the street in disbelief, and the elf lady who stepped down from the carriage. He was a little unfamiliar with many things in the First World, but the pair of silver-clad elven guards were very familiar with the Guardian of Dawn, the guards of the Elven Court of Agnor.

And that elegant lady, he also happened to know.

"How did the hero of the Battle of Byrne, the daughter of Alanya, the unicorn ranger, and the mistress of the bow of the Far Star get here?" Red also straightened up, looked at this scene curiously, and scratched the mane on his chin with his paws: "Elpahim is really strange today, it seems that the harvest celebration is not yet time, and the elves of Aquinn are also here, they have not appeared in the public eye for a long time since they lived in seclusion in the summer end forest. ”

The three of them silently watched the elf princess disappear into the artisans' guild, and it took a while for them to come back to their senses.

Fang and Red glanced at each other, each a little confused.

The Elves of Aquinn are the remnants of the Noumerin Elves who have been allied with Kaurin Ishurian since the War of the Giants, and they have maintained a good relationship with the humans until the loss of the Dawning Sword, but have since drifted apart.

It wasn't until the Battle of Byrne more than a decade ago that the Orsians invaded the southern borders of the kingdom, when the Elves of Aquiin also sent an army to help the Korin people resist the Imperial army. Brianne Calanhill also participated in that war as the daughter of the Elven King Alanya, and became one of the Seven Heroes and the most legendary female ranger after the war.

Her battle to kill the Floating Island Whale with an arrow from the Far Star Bow on the battlefield was recorded on video by the Do-Good Guys, and is still widely circulated among communities and is one of the most iconic examples of Aitalia's battle.

It's just that after that, the princess of the Far Star returned to the summer end forest, lived in seclusion, and has not appeared in front of the world for at least thirteen years so far.

In fact, if it weren't for her trademark long white hair, Fang would have almost not recognized this hero who appeared on the posters of the China competition many times.

"How did she end up here?"

Fang was also puzzled in his heart.

As the 'caller' of the China Division, he can be regarded as growing up listening to the legend of this elf princess. The Seven Heroes of Kaulin Ishurian didn't know how many Chinese teenagers dreamed of, but now that they had finally seen it with their own eyes, Fang almost didn't want to subconsciously chase those elven guards and followed.

But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped

He was stopped by the staff of the General Craftsmen's Association.
