Chapter 789: The True Rules
Bumper ββ!
The crowd parted suddenly, and an adventurer was knocked out of the crowd, rolled on the ground several times in a row, and lay on the ground, only to vomit blood with his mouth open, but not moving.
"Sure enough...... Here we go. β
Arrow muttered softly, also in the surprised expressions of his guild members, a scuffle had already begun in the place where they gathered! Several guild members are now fighting in complete disregard of the "rules"! In just a few minutes, the scene immediately went out of control!
Seeing that the guilds in front of them began to fight, the members of the Mermaid Song were stunned on the spot, and then retreated for fear of being swept in.
Similarly, there are several guilds that see that the state is out of control, and they also push back one after another, leaving an area for those guilds to play.
"They...... What are you doing? β
Coco looked a little incomprehensible, and she carefully hid behind Arrow, frowning at the guild that was fighting each other over thereβ
"Didn't you hear the host just now say that if you use violence, you will be out?"
The other Merfolk Song members were also nodding their heads now, seemingly completely unable to comprehend what the guilds were thinking about right now.
However, as the battle over there unfolded, the hostesses did not throw down the badges or run away in fright, but continued to stand in place with the box in their arms. Even though their legs were shaking, they were still motionless.
"No, they didn't break the rules."
Arrow smiled and raised his hand and gently rubbed his little necromancer.
"Didn't break the rules? But it's ...... Didn't you say that violence is not allowed in the course of this search for objects? β
Coco seemed a little hard to understand, and likewise, Brad and Sutta were a little incomprehensible right now.
Rather jealous, the assassin's mind spun quickly, and after a moment's hesitation, he quickly raised his finger as if he had suddenly thought of somethingβ
"I see! I understand! I can see why it's not breaking the rules now! β
Arrow made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Don't yell. Maybe some guilds haven't understood it yet, let alone say it so loudly. β
Cream quickly covered her mouth and happily stopped talking.
It's just that Coco still doesn't seem to understand now, her eyes are flashing with doubt, but she looks like she wants to ask but doesn't dare to ask.
But the crisp tower on the side now opened his mouth and said, "President, I ...... I don't quite understand it. Can you talk to us about it? β
Arrow smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Actually...... It's also very simple. Crispy, tell me first, what do you think are the rules of this search competition? β
After thinking for a moment, Sutta began to twist his fingers and said, "Hmm...... Rules...... One, it is necessary to find the imperial coat of arms. β
"Second, the game starts at ten o'clock tomorrow, and you have to come to this arena with the imperial emblem before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Three, if you don't get the Imperial Insignia by five o'clock tomorrow afternoon or don't make it to the arena, you will be kicked out."
"Fourth, if the number of guilds that have been eliminated is too large, or even less than 32 guilds, then directly skip the first stage and enter the second stage of the schedule."
"Fifth, violence is not allowed during the game."
Arrow watched the towers count one by one, and when she finished counting, Arrow also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "So, let's listen to the rules I heard now." You guys have to listen up~~~! β
"First of all, the first one. The use of violence will not be punished at any time other than 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. tomorrow, when the time set for the game is set. β
Just the exit of the first one immediately made the crispy, cocoa, bred, and the parfait in bred's pocket all stunned.
But that's not the end of it, Arrow continued to snap his fingers and said with a smile: "Second, as long as you arrive at this arena by five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, just take the Imperial Emblem and arrive at this arena before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, then the twelve Imperial Emblems that are now in front of us will of course also belong to some of the 99." In the absence of violent restrictions, it is natural to fight. β
"Third, the 99 badges are not placed in various places inside Hanhai City, but in various places within the territory of the Blue Bay Empire. So, the number of badges in the city may be far less than we think. β
"Fourth, any additional interpretation of the rules is permissible as long as it does not violate the two rules of carrying the imperial emblem into the arena from ten to five p.m. tomorrow."
"The fifth, and most important, rule is that if a strong guild wants to avoid too many surprises, then the best thing to do is to reduce the number of participating guilds to less than 32 as soon as possible. Because in the first half of the tournament, which can produce all sorts of weird formats, powerful guilds can also fail because they roll over. β
The above five rules are the real rules of this search race. Actually, there are many things that can be said if we really want to add, but in fact, it is enough to remember that we cannot use violence after 10 o'clock until 5 o'clock tomorrow, and enter the arena with a badge before 5 o'clock. Any other behavior can be considered in accordance with the rules. β
While the other members of Mermaid Song were all stunned now, Cream had already left the crowd and walked around the hostesses holding the badges over there. Then, the guy immediately ran back again, and at the same time took out the small notebook and sketched the general appearance of a badge with a pen.
"I've seen it, the style of the badge is not complicated, it's just such a thing. What's the size...... It's about the size of my fingernails. β
Arrow looked down and saw a small octagonal object painted on it, with a black background, and then a shield made of water waves on the surface.
It turns out that the design of this badge is indeed not complicated, especially the pattern on it, which is exactly the same as the flag of the Blue Bay Empire, without any difference. So I believe that just a little glance will be able to understand what this thing is.
Arrow stared at the badge for a long time, and it was while Arrow was observing, the two guilds that were fighting there seemed to have divided the winners.
The defeated guild was full of hatred, but it seemed a little reluctant. The winner's guild didn't look so happy, and after glancing at the people around them, they reached out and took a badge from the hostess's box, and then immediately left the arena together.
However, after such a case, there was no other guild that began to compete for grabbing here. Each guild began to constantly observe the actions of the other guilds, and did not seem to be in a hurry to make the first move.
In this regard, Eero expressed understanding.
Let's ignore the guilds that haven't guessed the trick yet, let's just say that those guilds that have already understood the true rules of this so-called Seeker Tournament should not want to do it directly like the guild just now.
Because in this way, it is equivalent to telling everyone that they already have a badge in their hands. For other guilds that don't have badges yet, tomorrow morning before ten o'clock is the equivalent of being stared at by many pairs of eyes!
So, instead of snatching the badge openly now, it would be more convenient to wait for all these hostesses to retire and then sneak in or steal.
Seeing that the environment at the scene had calmed down a little, Cream turned his head to see that his president was still observing the pattern of this badge, and said, "President, I have an idea...... Don't know if it's feasible or not? β
Arrow raised his head, looked at him with a smile, and nodded, "Tell me about it?" β
Cream exhaled and said slowly, "If the real rules are really as we understand them...... So can we just fake these badges? I've seen the quality of these badges, it's not complicated, and the pattern is quite simple. As long as we find a qualified workshop...... For example, the GWINT Hearthstone workshop should be able to craft a badge in one night, right? β
Arrow thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right...... What the moderator announced was only 'rules that cannot be violated', not 'rules that must be followed'. In this case, the default forged badge should also be considered valid...... Well, especially since this is a 'commission', it's easier to think about it. β
Brad seemed a little confused, he scratched the back of his head, and said, "President, this ...... What do you mean that since it is a commission, then it is simple and clear? Aren't we in a game? Can I still forge badges during competitions? β
Arrow smiled and pointed to the cream in front of him.
Seeing that the guild leader had given him the opportunity to explain, the assassin naturally cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I said Brad, don't keep thinking about the game. As the president has just said, we are not in a competition, but in a 'commission'. Think about it, what should we do if a customer comes to us on a daily basis to make a commission to find the subject matter? β
Brad was slightly stunned, but Coco next to him suddenly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I know, I know!" There's more than one way to complete a delegate! β
"If it's a finding request, we can go and get it back. But you can also buy another one and hand it over to the consignor when the value of the item and the manufacturer are determined, which is considered to be a complete commission! We can even convince the client to accept a better, more interesting item to complete the commission! β
