"Sir, this road is currently blocked." The staff who stopped Fang Yu were polite, but not approachable.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be quite disappointed. In fact, he had expected this, but he was just a fluke - Brian herself was an elven royal family, and she was also equivalent to a member of the royal family in the kingdom of Kaorin, and the Dawn Guards who accompanied her were cautious and experienced in many battles, so they would not give people an opportunity to take advantage of.

He looked inside on tiptoe for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze in a daze, remembering the Battle of Byrne, and he couldn't help but remember what Quelod had said to him.

The war seemed to have a lot to do with the Elect, but how tragic would it be for Quelod to say something like that? He was going to ask Miss Scarpe if he could, after all, they had experienced the battle firsthand—if he could contact someone from the Dawn Star, of course.

The Battle of Byrne took place thirteen years earlier, but neither the Assyrian Empire nor the Cowling-Eshurian knew the cause of the war, and the Empire invaded Nosnesica and destroyed the border city of Kadophin there. Kaulin-Ishurian retaliated and returned the favor with the Seven Heroes depicted as heroes of resistance to the Empire, but when you think about it, it is full of suspicion.

Kaulin-Ishurian doesn't seem to be weak enough to create heroes to render pathos in the face of the empire, backed by the Chinese division of that era, and the strength of the empire should at least be in between.

The Elves of Evan Quinn were also a little rash in their participation in the war, and the ancient pact of the sages and kings allowed them to share their fate with the lord of the land, but the kingdom was neither overthrown nor at war.

Seven heroes, except for the sacrifice of Sir Scon Wade, the other six were all retired after the war. Two dwarven heroes, Aksu-Spark, return to Steel Mountain and become the kings of the White Rock Clan. His brother, Evnorn Spark, had gone to the depths of Eldron to be tested by Earthfire, and had not been heard from for almost ten years.

Not to mention the three elven heroes, Alanya Elfina Miaoxing is the Elven King of Evan Quinn, and another elven hero, Kuruffin, still follows him to this day. Brianne Calanhill-Misty Star, as mentioned earlier, retreated to the mountains and forests, and only now reappeared in Al Pahin.

The human hero of the Battle of Byrne, the protagonist halo jokingly called by the Electors - the suave magician Roban is now in the position of the court warlock advisor of the Kaulin Kingdom.

These people should have done more, Fang Yu couldn't help but think so. But after a pause, he suddenly realized that his mentality had changed, in the past he was convinced of the story of the Seven Heroes, but now looking back, he found that the past did not seem to be so logical and self-consistent.

Maybe that's a kind of growth.

He thought that he should learn about the war when he had a chance, like a tribute to the lost youth. And it's not like the predecessors who could only dig out a few words of Aitalia's past from the pile of old papers, and guess the specious era from the ballads.

Modern people have a strict habit of keeping records, and there should be a lot of information about that time in the community.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu returned to reality. Brianne Calanhill Misty Star is like a figure that is the opposite of his childhood, and the craftsman always has a thick building that is what he is now.

He then said to the staff, "I'm a trainee alchemist registered with Kapka, and I want to complete the exam here as a craftsman. ”

The staff member gave him a suspicious look, but still nodded: "Then you can go through the side door, there will be someone there to receive you-"

So Princess Miao Xing can go through the front door, and the others can only go through the side door, isn't this a blatant discrimination? On the earth, isn't this a typical political incorrectness, but I am afraid that it will cause a big uproar in public opinion again, and friends will be shocked - Fang Yu resisted the desire to complain, who called this Aitalia?

The clash of cultures exists objectively, and it is up to the locals to follow the customs.

He had to take Red and Parker to the side door. The lion man was unimpressed, he was a gentleman, and it was a matter of course for a gentleman to give way to a lady, even if it had been some time since the lady.

Parker complained that he was hungry again. This made Fang Yu very surprised when he heard it. "Didn't you just have a lunch?"

"And an apple." Rhett added.

"I didn't eat much, only a basket of bread, the butter in that shop was very poor, the meat was undercooked, the cheese had a rancid smell in it, I told them not to put sea buckthorn roe, you know the Paparrals don't eat that."

"I don't know."

Fang Yu replied, and the three of them entered the Craftsman's Guild through the side door at the same time.

This was actually a small hall that usually issued tasks to adventurers, and the three of them walked through a row of suspended metal bulletin boards, and in front of them was a counter, and Fang Yuan heard a quarrel coming from behind.

"Rotas is on top, can you be quick with your hands and feet, it's about to start!"

"Damn, who do you think broke this thing?"

"That was three months ago, you old bastard. And I said that you can just replace the parts, you have to say that alchemists are not assemblers, and now it seems that assemblers are a little more useful than you. ”

"Don't make any noise, we've missed the opening speech." Another voice spoke loudly.

"Don't rush, it's nothing to see anyway! Old short-legged, have you been here too long, learned the bad things of humanity, when did the upright and simple Isharians care about all the bells and whistles, all we care about is alchemy.

Fang Ou, a few human beings with 'bells and whistles', was standing in front of the counter, watching the old dwarves chatter and fiddle intently with a projection crystal.

They argued so fiercely that they took him completely for air.

Fang Yu was helpless, so he had to knock on the counter vigorously and said loudly: "I am a registered alchemist of Kapka, and I hope to apply to complete the assessment of the official craftsman here!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the small hall.

The dwarves then turned back and looked him up and down.

"Where's the little one?"

"Don't you see we're busy?"

"You say you're a trainee alchemist?"

"Where's your star?"

The dwarves babbled.

Fang Yu was a little helpless, he knew that the dwarves of Ishurian had always been stubborn, and he didn't bother to speak, and pointed to the projection crystal behind the dwarves: "I'm really an alchemist, and maybe I can help you fix that thing." ”

"You, fix this thing?" The dwarves stared in unison.

Especially one of them, Fang Yu recognized the other party as the dwarf who was repairing the crystal before, and the latter blew his beard and glared at him and shouted at him: "Little guy, what are you blowing nonsense!" Do you know what's wrong with this thing, it's a problem for me, and what can you—even if you're telling the truth, just a trainee alchemist, a trainee, a hairy boy? ”

"Arquette is right." Some of the dwarves chimed in.

But before the former could finish speaking, he was dragged back by a white-bearded dwarf, who called out loudly, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, why don't you let him try?" Anyway, Arquette has proven his uselessness, so why not let this little guy try? ”

"What do you say, who do you say is useless?" The hot-tempered dwarf jumped three feet high, and his beard was about to rise in anger.

But the other dwarves nodded their heads when they heard this. "That's right, Arquette." They said: "You have to admit that you are old, old and dizzy, you have wasted too much of our time, too much, and you don't want to miss the best game, why not let this little guy try it, maybe what he said is true?" ”

"That can't be!"

Arquette exclaimed, but he couldn't stand the others, and the dwarves' stubbornness was not only manifested in individuals, but even more so in groups. At last he had to step aside with a grunt, and looked at Fang Plover with squinted eyes, as if he was waiting to see the others make a big joke.

And Fang Yu was still curious about what kind of game they were talking about, but this time he made up his mind that no matter what the game was, he would no longer join in the fun, and the lesson in the traveler's rest was too profound.

The dwarves had already opened the door for him, telling him to go behind the counter and look at the projection crystal.

Fang Yu walked over to the crystal with some curiosity—he placed his hand on the surface of the crystal and examined it carefully. Seeing his movements, Arkent couldn't help but snort from his nose - layman.

"Arquette, shut up!" The white-bearded dwarf was not so much supporting Fang Yu as it was to fight his old friend, and said loudly.

Arquette rolled his eyes.

Fang Yu didn't care, the crystal craftsman was a specialized category of alchemists, and the Electors called him a crystal builder, and he was indeed a layman in this field - except that he had a great teacher.

Hain-Sailm, who designed the Zero Crystal and the One Crystal, is definitely a master in this field.

Fang Yu has been reading the design drawings and experiences of the former these days, and has copied α crystals, and participated in the transformation of β crystals, which can be regarded as having some experience. He had heard these dwarves talk about the problem of replacing parts before, and he faintly thought of a problem he had encountered, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between the two.

He is a doer, he does what he says, and he is also a skill itch, so he makes such a request. But at this moment, as soon as Fang Yu put his hand on the crystal, he was sure in his heart, thinking that this was indeed the case.

It's exactly the same problem he had not long ago.

……

There was a dreary on the field.

Even the wandering horses in the stands couldn't help but feel a little nervous because of this atmosphere.

After the start of the main competition, seven teams have taken the stage to complete the competition. At the moment, the team of the Principality of Iron Oak is in first place, and the second team is the Cowlin-Ishurian Craftsmen Association, and these two teams are almost ironclad.

From third to fifth, there is a fierce battle going on, with almost every team that has the potential to make it to the top five come on and refresh the rankings in between.

However, to the dismay of the Kaulin-Ishurian crowd, the Elpahim Artisan Association, on which they had high hopes, made a mistake in such an important part of the competition.

After that, the results plummeted, and it was almost impossible to make it into the top five again.

For this reason, there is silence around the stands, which are the home of the Elpahim Artisan Association, and the atmosphere can be imagined to be oppressive.

Ms. Aisha beside her also clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and she was almost crying.

The wandering horse couldn't help but look around a little crampedly, and while adjusting the perspective of the shooting system, he saw that through the official drainage, the number of people in his live broadcast room had increased several times compared with the past.

But most of the audience was asking what was going on – while not many people knew about the Continental League, people at least knew that Kaulin-Ishurian represented the Chinese division, but something was not quite right at the moment.

The audience at Elpahim was lifeless, and the representatives of the knightly kingdoms of Guta not far away had smug smiles on their faces. As for the underside of the stands, the leaders of the Elpahim Artisans' Association once again quarreled with the tournament organizers of the Knights of Guta.

The fierce argument even reached the stands.

"What's wrong?" After hearing this, the wandering horse couldn't help but look back and ask.

The old dwarven lady rubbed her red eyes and said with some anger: "The airship on which the Kapka Artisans Association team is riding has encountered a storm, and according to the rules, the game time can be adjusted, but the people of Guta do not agree, they are only allowed to adjust the order of the Kapka Artisans Association to the end. ”

The wandering horses knew that it was completely unpredictable whether there would be a sudden storm on the air and sea, and that no one dared to easily pass through the turbulent clouds, let alone the possibility of lightning and thunderstorms, and that it was normal for the ship to stop and wait for the storm to pass.

"If it's a rule, why ask their opinions?" He asked, a little incomprehensibly.

"It's just conventional," Lady Aisha replied a little embarrassed, but her voice became a little angry, "It's a tacit understanding in the world of alchemy, at least people don't want to see the game dominated by something other than the player's own play." This kind of thing happens a lot, and just in the last round, we also accommodated the third-ranked team of the Guta people, but I didn't expect these people to be so despicable and so calculating. ”

She gritted her teeth in anger.

The stray horse also frowned: "What will happen if it is overdue?" ”

"If it is not overdue, it will be regarded as a waiver. If the Guta people don't pursue it, they can continue to participate in the next round, and if they do, they can't participate in the next round. But even if you don't pursue it, you will lose the points of one round of games, and you will basically say goodbye to the top five. ”

The wandering horse realized the seriousness of the problem, and he had done his homework before, and the three strongest teams in the Kaulin-Ishurian were the Kaulin-Ishurian Artisans, the Elpahim Artisans, and the Kapka Artisans.

In previous years, these three teams have also represented Kaulin-Ishurian on the Orsian Empire for a long time, and all three teams have won the Continental League in their history.

Now that the Elpahim Artisans Guild is basically hopeless, if the team of the Kapuka Artisans Guild abstains again, then there may only be two teams in the Kalin Kingdom this year on the final stage of the Osyrian Empire.

Ms. Dwarf's words also made the live broadcast room explode, and I have to say that the domestic audience still has a sense of justice, and they hate betrayal the most. The Kaurin-Ishurian accommodated the third-ranked team of the Guta in the last round, so it was thought that the Guta people should be courteous in this round, but they didn't expect the other party to turn their faces and deny people, and this despicable behavior immediately angered the audience.

The audience scolded angrily in the live broadcast room, and the wandering horses smiled bitterly when they saw it, and they didn't dare to speak, the knights of Guta also have the power of the Electors, except for the descendants of Flor, the biggest Elector forces are actually Koreans.

And what is the performance of Koreans in international competitions, although the wandering horse is just a landscape anchor, but it has long been heard of.

However, there are some things that the audience can say, but he can't speak easily, after all, some things he says are politically incorrect.

So the wandering horses could only pretend not to see it.
