Chapter 878 - The Second Half of the Competition - Open!
"Okay!"
Arrow shrugged his shoulders, and in order to avoid too many nights, he should step into this corner first, and exchange his outfit as fast as he could into a winter version of the Wald family's fishing costume provided by Viscount Ruichi. It's still the same as before, with a fish hat on his head, and then he comes out smoothly.
After Iero was changed, Margaux, Coco, and Crispa also entered the room, changing their clothes and coming out. In addition to the cheese's resolute refusal to wear it, Cream and Brad are now also in that outfit and ready.
Merely......
Arrow looked at the outfit on his body, and no matter what, he still thought it was ridiculous......
And now it's because you're in the finals, right? Other guilds, even if they wear clothes with sponsor brands, are definitely not as exaggerated as Mermaid Song.
From this point of view, in the sponsorship industry, the Viscount Ruichi is definitely thick-skinned.
"Yo hehe, see who this is? So you managed to get in, didn't you? β
While Arrow was still carefully arranging the hat on his head, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
Turning his head, he saw that it was none other than the president of the Sea Shark Guild who was biting him, the Man-Eater Whale Great Wave.
Arrow exhaled slightly, put down the hand that was adjusting the hat on his head, crossed his hands on his hips, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your Sea Shark Guild would be able to sneak into the finals?" Well...... Could it be that the old gentleman of sugar-coated wine has moved a little? β
The man-eating whale stared at Arrow tightly, and that look looked like it was going to swallow the other party directly in one go! But after a moment, his eyes came to his senses again, and he slowly shook his head, and saidβ
"Elo Garcia, I don't know why my boss is so adamant about disqualifying you. But since it is his old man's will, then I need to carry it out for him. This is the end of your mermaid song, and when we get to the arena, there will be no more intrigue between us, and there will be no restraint! When the time comes, we will speak entirely with the strength of our hands! Tell you, even if you have a vampire in your team, it's useless, your guild will never win this game! β
Who wouldn't say cruel things? If you really want to say cruel words, the cruel words in Arrow's stomach can definitely be said for three days and three nights without repeating!
But in doing so, Arrow at least reaffirmed one thing, and that was that the old man had not disappeared now. He's always paying attention to the Mermaid's Song!
So, since he has been paying attention, does this also represent those other people...... Have you been paying attention to it all the time?
Thinking of this, Arrow suddenly felt a tremor all over his body, and his steps trembled a little.
"It's not certain who wins and who loses."
While Arrow was silent, Margaux walked up to Arrow's side, thrust the staff of light in his hand into the ground, and said lightly-
"Besides, it's unknown if you sea sharks can save your own lives before you meet our guild, and are you still in the mood to take care of us? Hehe, it's a joke. β
The eyes of the man-eating whales widen again! He stared at Arrow viciously, then at Margaux next to him. After a few moments, the staring gaze gradually turned into a confident sneer. He nodded, without saying a word, and silently stepped back. And before he stepped back, Arroult could clearly see the chilling smile on his lips!
"Don't worry, President."
Cheese stepped forward, crossed his arms, and snorted coldlyβ
"The schedule of the game should be the same as it is now, it was all in the evening. By the evening, there were few people here who could beat me. β
Of course, it was a good thing to see Cheese so confident, and now, Arrow could only smile and stop talking.
ββββ
"Ladies and gentlemen! After a month-long competition, let's extend a warm welcome to the 32 guilds that have qualified for the finals from the 108 guilds! Here, they'll spend the remaining month showing off their best fighting skills, using magic and power to show off the blood-pumping art of killing! β
"Now, are you ready not to blink? So, let's give a warm welcome to our finalists! First of all, it was the first ...... to complete the task of exterminating the bandits. Crocodile Guild! β
The sound of gongs and drums began to resound in the sky, and the cheers of the entire arena were deafening, and it was impossible to hear what the people who were close at hand were saying.
Arrow covered his ears and loudly told his guild members what to do, but even then he couldn't hear clearly.
In such a noise, only the loud voice of the host can penetrate the noise and reach everyone's ears.
"So, let's welcome the 30th and last guild to successfully pass the Guild Championship Battle! Originally from the remote town of Pelican, and pioneered the placement of several female members in the guild...... Merfolk Song Guild !! β
Since you can't say anything, let's just go straight to action.
With a wave of his hand, all the members of Mermaid Song stretched out their hands, formed a circle to the cheers of the people, cheered up, and immediately trotted all the way into the arena!
By this time, it was completely dark.
But the hundreds of large balls of light lit up around the arena illuminate the place as if it were daylight!
The audience cheered loudly, and even though Ero couldn't hear what they were shouting, they waved as they walked over to where the other guilds were standing, taking their positions in front of the thirtieth queue.
"Wow! Mermaid Song! Ha ha! Mermaid Song! β
As the small guild stood in the queue, Viscount Ruichi in the spectator seat now immediately raised his hands and cheered loudly.
It's just that it is impossible for his cheers to be heard by the guild members on the field.
But I can't hear it, but in some ways, Iroh really admires the kind of lust and courage of this viscount.
It's like the song of the mermaid, and now all the personnel are wearing a set of aquatic costumes to swagger, if you encounter an ordinary situation, it is strange that the people next to you don't laugh to death this team. Not really! Look at it now, it's the finals! The guilds in the finals are all wearing costumes that match the characteristics of their guilds, even if they are not ceremonial costumes for battle, they are all very serious and decent, where will it be the clothes like the song of the mermaid?
But...... It's because the other members of the Mermaid's Song are all wearing such a terrible and funny costume, which just sets off the figure and beauty of Margaux, who is wearing a long gauze goddess dress.
Under the backdrop of so many "ugly fish" around him, the eyes of everyone in the entire arena immediately converged on the priest holding the staff of light at that moment.
Such a strong publicity scene is naturally the most joyful moment for the Viscount Ruichi.
In this regard, Arrow could only swing the fish hat on his head slightly, wrap the leather jacket on his body a little tighter, and deal with the temperature that is now getting colder and colder, turning a blind eye to it.
"That's it! A total of thirty guilds have now successfully passed the challenge, and all of them have appeared here! Once again, let's congratulate all the guilds who have passed the guild! β
As the arena erupted in applause again, the host, dressed like a parrot, cleared his throat slightly, spread his hands sharply, and continuedβ
"But I'm sure you must be wondering, why thirty? Didn't you just say that it was the thirty-two guilds? β
"Haha! Let me tell you the answer! After the fierce competition in the first half, only 30 guilds in total successfully passed all the competitions and successfully entered the finals. However, because the number of guilds participating in the finals is not symmetrical, we need to select two more guilds from the guilds that have already been eliminated to join our final finals! Now, let's warmly welcome the remaining ten guilds that didn't make it through the third round, but have already made a decent amount of loot! β
At the edge of the arena, drums sounded. With the sound of war drums, one after another eliminated guilds began to slowly walk out of the passage next to them.
Compared to the relaxed expressions on the faces of the thirty guilds that had already won the finals here, the faces of the members of these ten guilds were obviously full of solemnity. And unlike Arrow's side, who were dressed in non-combat attire, these guilds had obviously been notified in advance, and everyone was ready to go, and everyone was fully equipped, as if the next moment the war was about to start.
Once the candidates had settled on the other side of the arena, the host began to read the names of the guilds one by one in quick speech.
Then, he turned to the side of the thirty guilds that had already passed, and his face was full of smiles.
"Next, let me talk about the competition schedule and rules for the second half of the entire guild championship battle!"
As he spoke, behind this parrot man, a huge scroll was unfolded-
"There are 32 teams in total, and they will be divided into eight divisions, with four teams in each division. These four teams will play a five-on-five official battle against each other. Each battle is limited to one hour, and if both sides cannot defeat all the opponents within an hour, the winner will be determined by which side has the upper number at the end of the day. β
