Chapter 158: Opening Ceremony
The three days were long or short, and the teenagers in the training passed without even noticing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the landscape of the registration day as a drill, when I returned to the crowded arena gate, there was no tension at all in the dust. Today's arena and registration day were very different - the platforms used for registration were removed one by one, and there were rows of ironclad guards on the scene to maintain order.
"They don't have the Hunter's Badge on them, they're from the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Jia Xiao said thoughtfully.
"That's right, the order on the periphery of the venue is controlled by the City Lord's Mansion." Luo Pingyang led everyone towards the venue, "The trade union and the City Lord's Mansion will only cooperate in this matter. ”
The Hunting Festival, like the two large buildings standing opposite each other in Golden Feather City, is a symbol of the peaceful coexistence between the Kingdom of Scarlet and the Hunters' Union, and maintaining unity and cooperation in this matter can play a benchmark role for the peace and development of the entire northern region. Therefore, the city lord's mansion will not feel sorry for its samurai, and the union will not spare any resources.
The hunting festival throughout November is divided into smaller festivals, the most notable of which are the opening festival on the first day, the seal festival on the last day of the tournament, and the hunters' festival on the last day of the race. Today was obviously a peak of the atmosphere in Golden Feather City, in the crowd, Feng Chen not only saw an endless stream of hunters, but even ordinary people who did not wear hunter medals were wandering around the square with excitement on their faces. Even though the Golden Feather City has begun to enter winter, and the drop in temperature has made the teenagers add winter linings to their hunting clothes, the enthusiasm of the masses has not diminished at all because of the cold.
Tickets were required to enter the main arena, and no matter how large the arena was, it could not accommodate all the participants and spectators, but Amphinis managed to get seven tickets, which made the teenagers praise the old Ailu in a rare way.
"The festival has already begun, why don't we know what the apprentice hunter competition is?" Feng Chen asked as he walked, and the ironclad warrior in front of him confirmed the identities of several people, removed the spears blocking the way, and motioned for the group to enter.
"The Seal Festival is not something that can be completed in a day. For the sake of the daily tournaments, the tournaments of hunters of different ranks are interspersed with each venue on each day. Anfinis handed out ticket stubs to everyone, and the semi-open-air promenade leading to the interior of the venue was also crowded, "but the first day of the festival was not scheduled for the trainee hunter tournament in order to get enough gimmicks." When this game is over, we will probably know the position and format of the apprentice competition. ”
"So, let's just take it easy and watch the game today." Nie Xiaoyang held his hands behind his head, "After training for half a month, it's time to adjust your state." ”
When they came to the end of the corridor, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. In front of it is a large open-air arena surrounded by towering grandstands on all sides of four main arenas and one central arena. The stands are divided into dozens of areas by railings and steps, each of which can accommodate more than 1,000 people as far as the eye can see. The stands were crowded, and the air was filled with enthusiasm and excitement.
"Hey! Isn't this arena bigger than our training camp? Xiong Fuji exclaimed in amazement, "If you hunt on it, it's no different from hunting in the hunting grounds." ”
"Of course there's a difference." Shentu Miaoling looked around, "There are not so many pairs of eyes watching your every move in the hunting ground. ”
In the arena, the spectator is the biggest factor influencing the hunter. When you're unstoppable, the shouts of the audience can multiply your momentum, and when you're hunting badly, the boos around you can also make your stress and negative emotions grow hundreds of times over. Hunters who can hunt freely in the hunting arena may not be able to perform at the level they should be able to perform at the same level if they are unable to control their emotions and those of the audience in the arena.
"With so many people watching me hunt, I'm too late to be happy." Except for his combat talent, this young man who has a very simple mind is probably unable to appreciate the difference between the arena and the hunting ground. Big Bear smiled and sat down towards the seat that Amphines was pointing to.
As soon as a few people sat down, the surrounding audience rang out a tsunami-like shout, and Feng Chen looked left and right, and found that the audience was looking at the sky overhead. He also looked up, and in the morning light, he could vaguely see a bright orange floating in the sky.
"Color...... Colored birds! When he saw the flying object, the little hunter unconsciously cried out loudly. This shout attracted the attention of the surrounding audience, and a group of men, women, and children watched the nervous dust and whispered uncontrollably.
"Be quiet!" Jia Xiao covered the young man's mouth, "Look clearly, it's not a monster, it's an airship." ”
"I've long heard that the 'Golden Feather', the car of the president of the Golden Feather City Hunter Union, was assembled from the materials of sleeping birds, and I only got what I saw today." Nie Xiaoyang sighed.
The only people who can use the name of the city as the name of their warship are the city lord and the president of the hunter guild in the whole city. However, since the lord of the castle lived in seclusion and did not participate in hunting activities, it was only natural that the president would occupy the title alone.
Flying in the air was a huge airship, mostly orange in hull, with only a golden feather on its tail. Feng Chen remembers it clearly, it was the hair of the golden sleeping bird, which was equivalent to gold, and I don't know how many gold coins such a large cluster would cost the union president. The most conspicuous thing about the entire airship is a lifelike bird's head on the front and huge bird wings spread out on both sides. Although the size of the airship can only be considered medium-sized strictly speaking, with the blessing of the exterior decoration, the whole battleship is like a real sleeping bird monster, with its head held high and its eyes on the sky. This is also the reason why Feng Chen screamed that a monster was attacking at the first moment when he saw the posture of this battleship.
"The president of the Hunter Guild is in there now?" Recognizing the situation in the air, Feng Chen's nervousness suddenly became excitement, and he, like all the spectators around him, leaned his head high and leaned into the battleship in the air, "Where?" ”
"Don't look at it, that old guy is boring." Amphines yawned, "His opening speech hasn't changed much in ten years, and I don't know how he can stand to read the same speech every year." ”
The Golden Feather slowly hovered over the center of the arena, and in a few moments, the voice of an old man came from it, enveloping the entire grandstand and square. Feng Chen made a closer look, only to find that the sound seemed to come from the huge bird's beak. Little Orion was puzzled, and Jia Xiao explained in a low voice in his ear: "The song bags of some monsters can play a role in increasing the volume, if there are enough song bags connected, it is not impossible for the entire Golden Feather City to hear it." ”
Although the leader's voice was a little too sharp under the effect of the speaker, it still couldn't suppress Feng Chen's admiration for this kind of technology that he had never seen before, there were too many things in the hunter's world that he had never been exposed to, and the experience of just two months was already much more exciting than the previous ten years of life.
