After the first qualifier of the Holy Spirit.

Qiao Xiu was invited by Empress Ekanna to the Iron Nation Embassy for a banquet.

Originally, Qiao Xiu didn't like to go to the banquets of the nobles, but he heard Lady Marlena say, "This may be a good opportunity to find the craftsmen of the Iron Country." ’

Qiao Xiu had no choice but to justifiably pull Ciri to eat with him.

Coincidentally, during this banquet, Qiao Xiu met the enemy that the Iron Caster met in the first game...... Members of Team Crohill.

"Did the queen take you as prisoners and bring them back to the Iron Country?"

Qiao Xiu took a glass of juice and came to the members of the Crohill team, who were also very restrained in this banquet of nobles.

Four of the five members of the team were from civilian backgrounds, and the clothes on these four team members were also Crohill robes, not fancy dresses.

Looking at it this way, their painting style is closest to Qiao Xiu and Ciri at this banquet.

"You're... The guy I've seen in the Magic Arena. ”

Brila, the leader of the group, recognized the stranger who greeted them out of the blue.

"My name is Qiao Xiu, and my identity can only be said to be a person who can help you."

Joshua looked at the three players who followed Brera in turn, and their performance in the first game looked very miserable in the face of the strong strength of the Iron Caster.

But their in-game talent can be seen to be very good just from the ladder score.

"Brera."

She didn't recognize Qiao Xiu's true identity, whether it was the creator of the magic web or the director of the movie, only a few people would remember.

If Terin were standing in front of them, Brilla would probably be the first to ask for an autograph.

"That's all for yourself, can you answer my question just now, were you kidnapped by Empress Yekana? If it's a nod, I can help you. ”

Qiao Xiu glanced left and right when he said this, and many people at the banquet were paying attention to Qiao Xiu.

Because Joshua and Ciri's temperament seemed out of place in this banquet, so did the four members of the Crohill team.

"Kidnapping... We should be kidnapped to... Here's it. ”

Brera is also unsure if the previous situation counts as a kidnapping.

"Isn't this kind of forced recruitment without a full degree of favorability really not capturing slaves?"

Ciri looked at the girl named Brera, who looked like the daughter of a rancher, wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses with flaxen-colored fishbone braids, and a simple temperament.

The rest of Team Crohill are the same... It reminded Ciri of who she used to be, but she doesn't seem to have changed much now.

"Catch the slave, that queen shouldn't be this kind of person, no, she seems to have really done it, can you tell me what happened?" Qiao Xiu asked.

Brilla cooperated with Johew about what had happened after the game.

"I rejected Her Highness Yekana, but my parents happened to find the magic arena, and Her Highness Yekana didn't know what conditions to offer, so my parents agreed..."

Brila's mood now is probably like being sold by her parents.

"Hmm... I can take you back, but you seem to be hesitant to look at your face. Qiao Xiu said.

"Hesitation, this... I just don't think I'm up to the position of this knight. Brera pondered for a moment, but still said what she really thought in her heart.

"The competition for the iron casters must be very fierce, if I am eliminated, I really don't know what to do, it is really difficult to survive in this world if I only play the Holy Spirit, and I can't think of any other way to make money."

"What is the saying you said before, this kid is going to do great things in the future."

Ciri whispered to Qiao Xiu after listening to her narration silently beside her.

She was able to resist the temptation of one step to the sky, and seriously considered the gains and losses, which is indeed a difficult thing for ordinary people to do.

"The three views are so positive that I don't even know how to refute them." Qiao Xiu pondered for a moment, then asked, "I guess you should have a lot of concerns. ”

Joshua in response to Brera's question... An elderly nobleman crept up to the table behind Brilla with a wine glass.

The aristocrat sat in the audience in front of Josiu during the game.

He paid close attention to the conversation between Joshua and Brella, and didn't hide the idea that he was eavesdropping.

"Your concerns and choices are all correct." Qiao Xiu didn't lower his voice, this is not a topic that is not unsightly, "It is indeed difficult for Holy Spirit professional players to survive in this world. ”

Qiao Xiu's affirmative answer made the old nobleman's hand holding the cup tremble, it seemed that he should have an heir who was a member of the Iron Caster, otherwise he would not have appeared on the field of this game.

"With that queen's character, she will not hesitate to eliminate those who are weak."

Qiao Xiu's words succeeded in scaring Brilla and the children behind her, including the elderly nobleman, who didn't look very good.

"Don't be so nervous, if you succeed as a professional player..."Qiao Xiu said here and did not continue.

For on the stage of the main hall of the banquet, all the musicians who were playing music walked off the stage, and then at the front of the stage were five casters in black armor.

They made their way to the front of the stage, holding their heads high, and then took off their helmets.

The five iron casters were all much younger than the nobles present had imagined......

"All of you here, I know you all have a question in your heart."

Empress Ekanna appeared beside the iron casters, her gaze scanning everyone in turn.

The nobles invited to the dinner are basically the pillars of the Iron Country.

"You're wondering if these young men are qualified to be iron casters."

Empress Ekanna spoke aloud what was going on in their hearts.

"All they did when they came to Nolan was to participate in a few game matches, and it was a virtual game in the magic web."

The queen's voice pierced into the hearts of these nobles like the tip of a needle.

All the nobles present had a basic view of these young iron casters... They do not qualify for such a lofty status.

"But I'll tell you now..."Empress Ekana's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly, "They are not standing on the field today as themselves, but as the Land of Steel... On behalf of our country, we stand on that field! ”

"Your Highness Ekana, it's just a game, why bet on the name of the Iron Country, or even the honor?"

A voice broke Empress Ekana's one-man show, and all the nobles turned back in horror to find out who dared to ask such an ignorant question.

But they didn't find ... Empress Ekanna found it, and it was Josieu Arnorod, who was standing in the back row of the entire dinner.

Qiao Xiu knew the answer to the question he asked, and the reason why he asked this question was purely to give her a step to continue the topic.

"Because the Land of Frost is also in this game." When Empress Yekana said this, her voice carried a killing intent.

"The Silver Frostfox family of the Frost Nation has also formed their own team to represent their country in this match, and you want to play in this match... Let Nolan and the whole world know that our country lost to that bunch of guys? ”

"Silver Frost Fox? This can never be possible, Your Highness! ”

Many of the nobles present had a hatred for this family, and the friction between the Silver Frostfox family and the Iron Nation had risen to the level of a war.

"The Iron Casters are warriors who fight for the honor of the Iron Country, and here... It's a battlefield where you bet on the honor of the Iron Country! ”

After Empress Ekanna said this, the five iron casters beside her straightened their waists, and the eyes of the two iron casters began to redden.

"You can bet on the glory of the country by playing a game, you still think it's ridiculous, right?"

Qiao Xiu took the juice and came to the old nobleman and said.

"Absurd... I can't imagine it. "Count Cruz had expected that Josieu would take the initiative to talk to him.

"At present, there are more than 400,000 players of the Holy Spirit on the Demon Network, and these players come from all over the world, you should check out the game section on the caster forum." Qiao Xiu shook the juice in his hand, and the sound of the ice cubes in it colliding woke up the Count Cruz, who was contemplative.

"You really should see... A group of players from other countries, chanting the name of the Iron Caster and saying cheers on the arena, are now on the caster forums. ”

Joshua glanced at the Spellcaster forum before coming to the party, the entire forum had been detonated by the day's match, and no matter which section was discussing posts related to today's game.

The Iron Caster entered the sight of all Holy Spirit players with absolute power.

Count Cruz didn't say anything more, and Josiu returned to Ciri's side with the juice.

"Healy, do you think I'm not doing my job?"

Josiu leaned back on the table and watched as Briela and the rest of her team discussed whether or not to refuse Empress Ekana's invitation.

"You... Do you have a good job? ”

Ciri thought for a long time before finally saying this, she has been by Qiao Xiu's side for so long, Qiao Xiu was still making movies the day before yesterday, and the day after tomorrow she went to write and make games, and she didn't have any fixed career at all.

"Ahem, well, I don't really have any formal occupation."

Qiao Xiu shifted his gaze to the scene in the distance where the iron casters were toasting in celebration.

This time, the Nolan Open system has been established, and Qiao Xiu is equivalent to cultivating a large group of idols from all over the world.

As for the relationship between esports and cultural invasion...... Qiao Xiu remembered a stalk he encountered when playing games before, that is, when he was hacking with foreign friends, they would use the four letters 'kale' to indicate that their game was stuck and needed to pause the game.
