Bang bang...... Suddenly, the sound of a cannon salute caused the people gathered in the square to turn their heads. On both sides of Central Street, between the shops downstairs and the second floor of private houses, figures with excited smiles on their faces poked out.

Each of them held a salute wrapped in red tin foil outside, and during the roar, colorful fireworks rushed out of the salute and floated down like a goddess scattering flowers.

Immediately after, there was a sound of gongs and drums, singing and dancing not far away. The people gathered in the square did not know what was happening for a while, and they all talked to each other and talked about something.

Gradually, at the end of the street, several horses walked ahead, pulling the convoy from far and near, slowly approaching.

In the convoy, there were women dancing with long sleeves, some singing loudly, and clowns performing.

Everyone was happy to see the hunt, and they probed their brains one by one, which was very lively.

The team came to a halt when they came to them. I saw a clown jumping up and down in front of everyone with a somersault, and as if he was doing a trick, he spewed out a big mouthful of fire, which frightened the people standing in front of him to scream again and again. There was even a woman who was frightened and took advantage of the situation to throw herself into the arms of the man beside her.

It's just that Li Yuan and the others stood relatively backward, and the women in their team reacted mediocre and were not overly excited.

At this time, Wu Yun put one hand on Li Yuan's shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows at him and said, "Li Yuan, I regret why I stood so far back, right?" ”

"What?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Well, you don't have to be sad," Wu Yun spread his hands: "Even if she stands in front, my sister won't be so scared that she will throw herself into your arms." Well, I think it's more likely that she took out the iron gun and flipped that person over......"

Just as he was grunting and talking these words with gusto—

Boom! With a muffled sound, Li Yuan could clearly see that Wu Yun's whole person was trembling.

Li Yuan looked up with a smile and saw Wu Zhi's forehead with a fist pressing on his head. Seeing Li Yuan's gaze turning, the corners of her mouth twitched and said, "Don't listen to this stupid boy's nonsense." ”

"Uh, uh-huh......" Li Yuan nodded stunned.

He didn't feel anything, but Lin Yinyin, the little girl, turned her head like a thief and stared at Wu Zhi vigilantly.

This, this, Wu Zhi, the goblin, actually explained, she actually explained...... Is it because of a weak heart? She really likes Brother Li Yuan? Well, it must be like that, otherwise why would she explain? To explain is to disguise......

It's not good, Lin Yinyin, you have to think of a way, you must pull Brother Li Yuan away from this goblin, and you must not let him stay for too long...... Oh, none of these men can resist the temptation of big-breasted women...... My good sister, why don't you have the figure of Wu Zhi or Huo Siqi, and the old sister has to worry about you all the time......

For a while, Lin Yinyin's heart had turned a thousand times, and her thoughts were flying......

Standing behind Li Yuan, she quietly stretched out her hand, ready to pull Li Yuan's grapefruit, and find a reason for him to temporarily get out of Wu Zhi's entanglement, no, when she broke away from the crowd, suddenly there was a huge cannon shot, which scared her.

Everyone's hearts were beating, and they heard the reputation.

The salute flowers in the sky fell from a height of five or six meters, and in the highest part of the procession, a figure in a costume walked out.

When he saw that person, Li Yuandu couldn't help but be stunned: "Old, old mayor? ”

Except for Li Yuan, Fei subconsciously covered his mouth. The old mayor is really dressed like this, and if the children see it, they will be very happy......

"Good morning, everyone!" The old mayor held the microphone in one hand and waved it in the other, laughing loudly. At this moment he looked less like a dying old man and more like a pillar for the finale of a circus.

"Welcome to today's celebration where we will celebrate the successful conquest of the locust army and the rest of the harvest next year. What's more, it's about celebrating our heroes who have returned from victory! Let's give them a round of applause! It is their bravery, their wisdom in exchange for our health in the new year! ”

Thunderous applause rang out, and on the streets on both sides, countless people shouted: "Heroes, hard work!" ”

"Thank you, heroes!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero! ”

…………

For a while, cheers and applause blended with each other, and the atmosphere was instantly warm, and then accompanied by another salute, it was pushed to a climax.

"I'm grieving, old mayor." When his ears were surrounded by a sea of joy, Fei said gloomily.

"Huh?" Li Yuan turned his head.

"The old mayor is actually grieving," Fei quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "grieving for the dead heroes, grieving for the children who may have to live on the streets again...... Maybe at first, they will remember the kindness and give some help, but after a long time, they will ......"

"Hmm! It's okay, those kids are going to be fine. Fei suddenly rubbed his eyes vigorously, forced out a smile, and seemed to say to himself: "And us, as long as our thieves' union is here, we won't let those children be wronged." ”

"We did it before, and now we will definitely be able to do better, after all, Sister Fei, I am now a seventh-level master, well, and Mingming. Well, if you drink an experience potion, it should be level eight, right? Haha, if it's level eight, there won't be many people in the town who are stronger than us......"

Li Yuan, Lin Xiaoxin and Lin Yinyin looked at her and muttered to themselves, were silent for a long time, and said seriously: "I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Fei turned his head and was stunned, a sour feeling welled up from his heart, his eyes were slightly moist and red, and he nodded heavily at Li Yuan and the others: "Hmm! ”

The noise gradually subsided, and then only the old town chief announced loudly: "Now, we will give our heroes their rewards, and you can guess which of our hero teams can win the top three and get experience potions!" But no matter what the ranking, as long as there are people involved in this battle, they are all our heroes, so don't forget ......"

For a while, another cheer rang out.

"First of all, the team after the fiftyth ranking, I will report the name of the captain, and ask the captain and the team members to come to the stage, in no particular order......"

The old mayor took out a list and read:

"King Helmet, Nair, Rasdona, Honda Ichiro, Jie Kanorev......"

A series of names were reported, and after a while, there were already many people standing on the high platform in front of the old mayor.

Immediately, the old mayor put away the list and announced, "You will be rewarded with ten gold coins each, and I thank you for your efforts on behalf of the townspeople!" ”

With that, the old mayor bowed deeply to them. The women of the town carry elaborate mahogany trays on a high platform, in which bags of gold coins are neatly placed.

After the group accepted the gold coin, they went down the high platform.

Then, the old mayor picked up the list again and said loudly: "Next, we have invited the teams ranked fifty to thirty-one to come to the stage!" Then he picked up the list and read it aloud: "Arei, Yangfei, Tam ......."

Another group of people came to power, and each of them was rewarded with twenty gold coins.

The next batch to take the stage were ranked thirty to eleven, and they were each rewarded with thirty gold coins.

That's not a low number, at least for novice adventurers. And Li Yuan found that when he and Wu Yun were caught, the thief who liked to use strange things to tie his head was also in this rank.

That guy isn't bad, if you put it a few days ago, it should be the top combat power in the thieves' union...... Li Yuan laughed. Judging from the feeling he gave him, Li Yuan guessed that he should have reached level six, and looking at his points, he could also know that he was not lazy in the original battle.

Next up is 10th place. At the beginning of this ranking, every time you rise in the ranking, you get a lot of gold coins, and the tenth place is already fifty gold coins.

The atmosphere is gradually heating up again. This ranking is starting to stir people's nerves.

"Roland, tenth place, two thousand three hundred and twenty-six points, and a reward of fifty gold coins."

The old mayor's words fell, and not long after, a team of four people stepped forward, this team gave people a completely different sense of oppression from the previous team, Li Yuan estimated that at least two of them had reached the seventh level.

After receiving the gold coins, their team stepped down, and then the old mayor announced: "Li Yu'er, ninth place, two thousand three hundred and seventy-five points, and seventy-five gold coins." ”

This time, the team was led by a woman who looked twenty-five or sixteen years old, and her temperament was cold and arrogant, giving people a feeling of contempt, as if everyone was not in her eyes.

"This is the people of our Thieves' Guild, and it is one of the few of us who has reached level six before, and it is the most powerful combat force. In the past, when someone found out about the gathering place of our thieves' union, and wanted to break down the door, it was the people in Yu'er's team who resisted us and let us escape. Don't look at her with a straight face all day long, but she's actually very enthusiastic......" Fei muttered with some pride.

"Oh?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised. I feel that her temperament is a little inconsistent with her identity......

"White Armor, 8th place ......"

The top 10 gold coins all rose at a rank of fifteen gold coins, and after a while, by the time they reached the fourth place, the gold coins had risen to one hundred and fifty.

"The next exciting moment is here, I'm going to announce the top three teams, can you guess which three teams are the top three?"

"Zhang Li!"

"Wu Zhi!"

"Takumu!"

…………

The people below actively participated in it, shouting the names of the teams they liked.

"You guessed right, among them, Zhang Li did not insult the name of our Carlo Town Warriors, and won the top three in this competition, with 3,688 points, ranking third."

"The second place is a hero from the town of Dom, who plans for the battle, and at the moment of crisis, he sneaks into the locust pile and takes the head of the desert locust leader. It is because of him that we see the dawn of victory! Their team had a total of five thousand three hundred and sixty-two points. And the captain of that heroic team is named Li Yuan! ”

"Wow!" As soon as this number came out, there was an exclamation from below. Because of their numbers, they are too much beyond Zhang Li's team.

However, this did not surprise Li Yuan, you must know that the points of the Desert Locust Leader are no longer on the same level as those ordinary locusts. Not to mention how many Desert Locust Commanders they killed......

"As for the first place, it is the strongest team among novice adventurers, Wu Zhi and their team, with a total of five thousand three hundred and seventy-seven points! Congratulations to Wu Zhi's team for winning the championship of this competition! ”

When the words fell, a thunderous applause rang out.

Li Yuan smiled at Wu Zhi on the side and said, "Congratulations." ”

Wu Zhi and the others were able to defeat Li Yuan and them, mainly because when they went to find Li Yuan and them, they encountered a group of desert locusts that no one controlled, and they got it after killing a bloody path.

At that time, they considered that after meeting Li Yuan and them, they might have a battle, so they didn't use the skills of blending into the environment, but planned to wait until they were closer to Li Yuan and them before using it.

However, at this time, Wu Zhi suddenly raised her hand and said in a loud voice: "I have objections to this ranking!" ”
