Chapter 131: The First Day of the Competition
"Mr. Ambassador," the staff member walked over and handed him the communicator, "there's a reply from Van Rik's side." β
"I'm sorry for you." Liao Tianhua nodded lightly. The sunlight came from the direction of the gravity-free ring corridor and fell on his face, snow-white, with a slight tiredness in his expression. He silently stared in the direction of Xingmen Harbor for a moment, the silver building was shrouded in a huge shadow, and the vacuum was silentβlike a huge pupil, staring at the blue forty thousand kilometers below. His mind was immersed in the history of the past, how did humanity leave this blue homeland more than a century ago? When they look at their homeland against this dark background, will they feel the same as the people of today? Some of the old spacecraft from the last era are still in orbit today, and perhaps from the mottled metal, you can get a glimpse of the people's thoughts on courage at that time.
Pioneers and explorations are always the bravest group of people, pushing open the door of ignorance and the unknown with their own hands, and do not know whether the road ahead is full of thorns; Even at the cost of his life, the soul of the hero sleeps forever, and it can be sung and cried, but mankind's yearning for the distance and the exploration of the truth of the universe have never been cut off one day. But can the spirit of the past inspire future generations to move forward? What are the trade-offs of the forerunners in the face of the same dilemma? Ah, perhaps even the predicament itself is quite different! Liao Tianhua couldn't help but sigh softly. The universe was reflected in his eyes, only a deep darkness and coldness.
He touched the panel of the communicator and asked, "Old Su, how is the situation?" β
"I was just about to ask you," Su Changfeng replied, "I heard that there was some trouble in Xingmen Port, what's wrong?" β
Liao Tianhua's eyes were darker, and his expression looked a little terrifying, but he still nodded. "It's stabilized for the time being."
Su Changfeng looked at his old friend, and stopped talking: "Don't worry too much......
"I'm not worried about this," Liao Tianhua shook his head: "It's that the progress of the Plan for Area C can't catch up, and a large number of Electors are stranded in the Star Gate, which has already aroused a certain degree of suspicion." β
"And what do you say over there?"
Liao Tianhua shook his head and said, "...... All I know is that this year's conference will be two months in advance. β
After a period of silence, Su Changfeng took the initiative to break the silence: "I'll talk about the situation here first, I won't briefly describe the situation in the south one by one, it's a mess, you should know more about these than me." As for that 'plan', it's also starting to enter the advanced stage......"
Liao Tianhua couldn't help but think of his old boss, since the turmoil thirteen years ago, the other party has firmly stood in the opposition faction. It's just that there were still very few people who held such opinions at that time, but it profoundly affected the two of them, and now there are more and more like-minded people, and the original persistence has finally come to the time of harvest.
Su Changfeng replied at this time: "As for the little thing about Fenris, there are also some discoveries, are you interested in hearing about it?" β
"Don't sell it," Liao Tianhua couldn't help but complain: "Of course I'm interested, if that thing is true, we need a group of talent reserves right now, and we're already lagging behind." He sighed, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be pulling people around.
"Found someone?"
"Seventy or eighty," Su Changfeng nodded, "but there are some interesting things here." β
Liao Tianhua couldn't help asking: "What's an interesting method?" β
"Do you remember that incident a year ago?" Su Changfeng laughed: "Let me remind you, Tarun, the elven ruins-"
Liao Tianhua's eyes flashed, and he showed a suspicious look: "Of course I remember, but you must have some subtext." β
Su Changfeng opened his mouth and said something silently.
When the ambassador heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed.
"How?" Su Changfeng smiled mysteriously.
Liao Tianhua glanced at him, and only replied: "You judged correctly, let the Star Gate Special Reserve Team go first-"
β¦β¦
Ai Xiaoxiao stood in the square full of festive atmosphere, looking above the adventurers who came and went, holding a light page in his hand, aiming at the sky under the background of the Elfondo Spire, the balloons and airships, one by one, took pictures horizontally and vertically, looking excited.
She also stabbed her friend next to her and screamed, "Look over there." β
Tang Xin coldly watched as the huge shadow of the floating ship shrouded overhead, roaring slowly into the airport area, countless flying creatures of all sizes were surrounding it. "Don't be surprised, my little princess," she sighed, "it's not like you haven't seen it." β
"But every time I feel shocked."
Ai Xiaoxiao muttered and turned her head: "I didn't expect that the other world also has such a bright technology!" Have you ever thought about it, Sugar Candy? β
"That's magic." Tang Xin replied.
"Almost," Ai Xiaoxiao complained, "Tangtang, you're really boring." β
"Oh," Tang Xin's gaze roamed the crowd, and she only replied absentmindedly, and reminded: "You pay attention to the road, don't get lost again." β
"Then Sugar Candy, you protect me."
Tang Xin only nodded.
Ai Xiaoxiao was very moved for a while, and couldn't help but grab the latter's hand, her eyes were full of little stars: "Tangtang, you're so warm, can I marry you?" β
Tang Xin slapped the disgusting little girl on the head and pushed her away. She asked, "The game is about to start, which one are you going to watch?"
"Hey, are there a lot of starts together?" Ai Xiaoxiao was very surprised: "Isn't it a competition?" β
Tang Xin rolled her eyes, thinking that this was the case, but fortunately she asked in time. "This is the audition, my little princess, the first game has hundreds of teams from all over the world, you plan to watch it here for a year? Have you read the rules? β
"I, I've probably seen it, right?" Ai replied cautiously.
Tang Xin was not surprised by this, and only replied: "The competition party divides ten venues on the spire square, each game is played in five games, and it is divided into three rounds, and the top 30 will be counted according to the score to enter the next round. So in each round, there are fifty matches going on at the same time, what exactly are you going to do? β
Ai Xiaoxiao's head was about to dizzy, and he hurriedly replied, "Why don't we turn around first?" β
"Turn?" Tang Xinhu looked at this girl suspiciously-are you really here to watch the game? However, this was exactly what she wanted, and she was not here to watch the game, so she nodded noncommittally.
"Sugar Candy, you're so nice!" Seeing that his friend could really come up with a solution to the problem, Ai Xiaoxiao was so excited that she jumped three feet high. But as soon as she retreated, she hurriedly bumped into a person behind her, Ai Xiaoxiao was startled and was about to turn around and apologize.
But as soon as she saw the man, she was slightly stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Ah, it's you!" β
Dictor also looked at the two little girls with some surprise.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "What a coincidence, we met again." β
Tang Xin also nodded to the other party: "This gentleman, meet again, hello." β
Ai Xiaoxiao was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask: "This gentleman, did you find that person in the end?" β
"Found it, I bothered you before, two ladies." Dictor replied with a slight smile. After he left the Elffindor Spire before, he accidentally met the two of them, and simply asked them to help contact Fang Yuan, so there was a series of things after that.
But I didn't expect to meet them here again today.
"It's just a matter of effort." Tang Xin only said politely.
Dickert nodded, looked at the two of them again, and asked, "Are you also here to watch the game?" β
"Exactly," Ai Xiaoxiao immediately said, "But we haven't made any plans yet, and we're going to take a look around the square first." β
"That's how it works," Dirkt laughed, "Actually, it just so happens that my companion is going to participate in this game, if you don't mind, how about I introduce him to you?" It can be seen that he actually likes these two little girls.
Especially Ai Xiaoxiao, who treats people kindly. As for the girl called 'Tang Xin', it seems to be less approachable. However, with Dirkt's experience, he didn't care about it.
"Okay, okay," Ai Xiaoxiao wished that someone would lead the way, but it was a little strange: "Your companion is also going to participate in this competition?" β
"Don't be surprised," Dicht explained, "he's just a little guy, and he's kind of a year-old friend." βγ
Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be very curious when she heard it. She knew that the older knight was a nativeβand what kind of person would the native's old friend be a drafter? She threw the game out of the clouds at once, and hurriedly agreed:
"Then you'll have to show us, Mr. Dickert."
Dickett only nodded slightly.
And above the square, Fang Yu naturally had no idea about it.
In fact, he was discovering that he didn't seem to be good at dealing with such a crowded situation.
Previously, the soul fingerprints informed them that the race party had scheduled their game in the third round and the seventh arena, but Fang Yuan, Dill, and Cui Yu couldn't find a direction in the crowd at all. Coupled with the gaze of the alchemist of the Southern Alliance above his head, Fang Yu couldn't blatantly release the clockwork goblin.
That's too bad for the bigwigs, after all, there was a ban on the air on Alfindor Square today-
Fortunately, Mu Lan, who had experience in the competition, had expected this, and came over first before bringing a few of them out. This made Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh that it was still beneficial to have his back to the guild, but in other words, he was afraid that he would get lost to death and would not be able to find the direction of the arena. You must know that every time in such a competition, there are actually teams that are disqualified for one reason or another-
However, when the game was about to start, everyone seemed very calm, and they only briefly discussed what their opponents would be in the next round - as for the opponents in the audition, each of the three rounds of matches had fifty games at the same time, and among the more than 150 teams, it was impossible to know the details of each one.
There is no way to target it in this format, and the only thing everyone can do is to perform at their own level, enter the top 30, and then successfully advance to the next round. It is actually pointless to discuss the opponents of this round.
However, the five teams in the same division always have to look at each other. Coincidentally, Fang Yu found that in addition to the two unknown teams in this competition area, there were actually 'two' of his old acquaintances.
One of them was none other than the Shadow Throne's teamβthough he had heard that the Shadow Throne had sent three teams to the tournament this time, so it might not be surprising to meet one of them. After all, the Shadow Throne is a guild in the south, and it is still more enthusiastic about local events than other guild forces.
As for the other team, the team of godkillers is led by Virus himself.
Fang Yu was also startled when he saw the latter, and the iceberg goddess also looked at Fang Yu suspiciously, probably because she felt that he was a little familiar. However, it is rumored that Virus attaches great importance to the alchemist team of god killers, and basically the training of new alchemists in the guild is done by himself.
Now it seems that the rumors are true.
Fortunately, the other party only looked at him twice, obviously not paying attention to him, the little alchemist of Ragnarok, and quickly turned around.
However, the team of the Shadow Throne was talking on the side, pointing fingers at the two teams. After all, for the Shadow Throne, Ragnarok and the Godslayer are the top ten guilds, and their teams are naturally the strongest opponents in this competition.
However, the leader of the Shadow Throne is primarily concerned with Ragnarok.
After all, since the Godslayer had the Virus, the alchemist team has become more and more prosperous, and its backbone is almost all created by that iceberg beauty. And what level of strength the other party has, they naturally know in their hearts.
At the level of the Shadow Throne, to challenge the team of the God Slayer is basically asking for hardship. But Ragnarok is different, and it is well known that Ragnarok's craftsmen are traditional weaknesses, which is also a well-known thing in circles.
If they make it to the second round, they will most likely meet the teams of the Ten Guilds, and among the Ten Guilds, Ragnarok is probably the only one who has a chance to score points.
So the young man focused on Ragnarok's team. He obviously had already done his homework, first pointed to the MTT in front of Fang Yu and said: "That's MTT, it should be regarded as the coach of Ragnarok, it is said that his level has improved a lot this year." However, his results will definitely be invalidated, so just pay a little attention. β
His gaze turned to the others: "Those young people of Ragnarok, you need to pay more attention. In particular, the alchemist named Choi Woo is a rookie who has recently emerged in Ragnarok, so you can observe what he is good at so that we can deal with it later. β
"As for the little girl named Dill, there is not much information about her, but it seems that she is not the main force in the team," the young man looked at his team at this time and said, "She doesn't seem to be going to play in this round, otherwise you can pay attention to her and see what the other party's level is." β
"As for the remaining chickpeas and wood blue, they are all old faces, and they have strength, but they can be expected."
When he said this, his eyes fell on the last personβthat person was naturally Fang Yuan. The young man couldn't help but pause.
After he confirmed it again and again, he turned back to the deputy beside him and said, "That young man, is there any information on it?" β
The deputy took out the notebook, compared it with it, and then shook his head: "No." β
"Confirmed?"
"Not really."
When the young man heard this, he immediately frowned.
He knew that a big guild like Ragnarok had a deep background behind it, and although it was a shortcoming in the cultivation of alchemists, he couldn't say when a demon would emerge from the training camp. In fact, examples such as the Rosary Crusaders and Silver Vislan have all been seen in this way.
The other party dared to bring such a fresh face to participate in the competition, presumably there must be something to rely on. Or had he been thinking wrong all along? That young man named Cui Ning wasn't the killer feature arranged by Ragnarok this time?
But this person?
Thinking of this, the team leader immediately turned around, picked out a tall girl from the crowd, and said to her: "Qin Yu, you are the most talented in speed in single words and carving formations, you are on the first round." If you're the first to finish after the race, keep an eye out for the young man on the other side. β
The girl glanced at Fang Yu when she heard this, and then nodded lightly.
β¦β¦
"They're looking at you." Mu Lan suddenly said to Fang Yu at this time.
Naturally, the people of Ragnarok also noticed the attention of the people of the Shadow Throne about themselves. It's just that except for Fang Yuan, everyone else actually doesn't care much about these 'small guilds'.
Mu Lan actually knew the reason why the other party paid attention to Fang Yuan, but if he pursued the results of the game, he would definitely pay attention to the opponent in the next round. And in such a situation, the raw face is clearly an unstable factor.
Especially with a team as famous as them.
However, she was actually just joking, after all, Mu Lan cared more about the godkiller on the other side than the Shadow Throne. In the last match, she and MTT's team were actually defeated by the Godslayer.
It's just that they're looking at each other, and the Godslayer is clearly paying attention to them, and both sides see each other as potential opponents for the next round. It's just that in comparison, after all, the latter has more psychological advantages.
The first round of the tournament quickly entered the preparation stage.
Since this round wasn't really crucial for Ragnarok, the Soul Fingerprint didn't change much from the original plan. It's just that the original double insurance of Mu Lan and MTT has been changed to be led by Mu Lan and Fang Yuan, supplemented by chickpeas and Cui Yu.
In this way, Mu Lan, who is relatively average in strength, is used as insurance, and it will not be too exposed to Fang Yuan, who is a strange soldier. And Chickpea and Cui Yu are both players who have played more consistently, and entering the top 30 with the average score of this combination should be more than enough in the eyes of soul fingerprints.
In the first single-word engraving game, Ragnarok's side was the first to appear by Fang Yuan, and only to hear a whistle from the referee's mouth, the game officially began.
In fact, similar to the assessment in the hall of a thousand doors, this game is also a comparison of the accuracy and speed of lettering, although to get a high score, there are still considerable requirements for personal strength level. It's just that for Fang Yuan, who has experienced the Hall of a Thousand Doors, it is really difficult to say that there is any challenge-
It's just that he expected that his results should be invalid, so he didn't bother to make any tricks, and only waited for a moment before gently picking up the carving knife......
