Chapter 6 What is the Gold Academy Competition?
The three young people in front of him all looked about the same age as Latis next to her, but they were all older than Yu Youzi's appearance.
Yu Youzi introduced himself first: "Hello everyone, I am the Purple Crest of the Royal Guards Armored Brigade of the Karelian Kingdom, and I am currently holding a substitute teaching position in Gonzalez, and I will live in the old capital of the Golden Lane for a while. ”
The emaciated young man at a glance spoke: "Hello, my name is Dunley, I am mainly engaged in the power part of the armored warrior, and at the same time I am taking an expert-level magic course, I am the head of the four-battle chess club of the Holdhorn Academy, and there is no stronger chess player than me in the academy at present." ”
The other two also introduced themselves. He is very tall and has thick eyebrows, and he is quite a handsome man with a smile: "Lord Purple Crest, my name is Rushida, the climber, and I am taking an expert driving course for armored warriors. ”
A woman with a very toned body: "Hello, my name is Hoshina, I specialize in the synchronization system of armored warriors, and the theory of magic circuits is also my strength......"
Yu Youzi has seen the rites one by one, and he can be regarded as acquaintance. Ratis, the little man at the next table, had been making strange gestures out of the corner of his eye, as if inviting him to their all-girls table, but the waiter finally added a chair to his table at Thornfrey's request. Latith seemed a little dissatisfied.
Yavic and Nebuan, who were at the same table, got up slightly to greet Yu Youzi, and after sitting down, they felt that the atmosphere at this table was a little restrained, thinking that His Royal Highness the prince of their country was at the same table, they could understand the caution of the two young people. After Yu Youzi joined in, the other tables began to continue the topic just now, and there were also people walking around the tables and chatting with each other.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Yu Youzi began: "What were you talking about before I came?"
Javic: "We're talking about the entries that we're going to put forward for this gold competition. ”
Sanfrie: "It's an elegant topic to discuss before you know it......
Yu Youzi: "Take this opportunity...... Actually, I've always wanted to ask - what is the competition of the Golden Academy?"
The three people present looked at each other, and Sanfret finally laughed and said, "Indeed, this is a matter of common sense to us, you don't know it, Nibuan, you can talk about it......"
After agreeing, Nebuan said, "Actually, each academy organizes its own people to participate in the Ring Tower Competition...... Since each college has a different specialty, there is really no competition that can be generalized, and if there is a committee to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, it will be a duplicate of the selection of the 'Top Ten Colleges'......"
Sanfrea: "It's like Gonzalez Academy, which focuses on adventure, and Holdshorn focuses on armored warriors. It is a prestigious college in the world, and it is very elegant in terms of humanities......"
Avic: "The Golden Academy Competition, our students have always felt that it is actually a kind of propaganda...... Promote your own college at the Ring Tower Competition. ”
Sanfret nodded: "It does mean a little bit like that. ”
Yu Youzi: "Ahem, then what is the competition of the ring tower......
Nibuan: "When the sunny season is over, but when it's the warm season for adventure, all the nations of the world send their teams to race in the City of the End. ”
"Race?" Yu Youzi repeated in a questioning tone, remembering that he had heard and read in books, the Ring Tower Contest was a commemoration of the victory of the expedition against the tower and the successful construction of a defensive city at the entrance of the Tower of Babel. It's a bit of a marathon on earth. But I didn't expect it to be a race.
"Nebuan wasn't quite right. "If it's a simple race, it will misunderstand Lord Purple Crest...... The main events of the Tour of Towers are two types of racing competitions. ”
Nibuan: "Yes, yes, I'll tell you - there are two kinds of races, one is the most famous of the Ring Towers, and the whole event is called after this race...... To put it simply, you can run around the Tower of Babel, and you can use any means of transportation except airships, and of course you can just run on your feet. ”
Aviz: "This competition is open to everyone because it is held outside the Tower of Babel, there are national teams, but there are more private teams, and the first competition of our Golden Academy Competition is this Ring Tower Competition. ”
You can actually use all kinds of transportation, which is really different from a marathon, Yu Youzi: "What else is there in the Tour Tower Race besides the Tour Tower Competition?" This statement is really awkward.
Nebuan: "The other is the Tower Climbing Competition, where the team can reach the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel the fastest way. The main participating teams were each national team and the climbers. Although our academy does not participate, it does not prevent students from participating, and if they get the ranking, the academy will give rewards...... There are many other events held together......"
Yavic: "There is also a Tiantu in the Golden Academy Competition...... The four-war chess tournament is also quite popular. ”
Yu Youzi looked at Sanfrei: "Then the Holzhhorn Academy is going to select a group of people to drive the armored warriors to participate in the Ring Tower Competition?"
Sanfret looked at Nebuan, and the young man who was dressed very formally immediately said, "No, our Holzhhorn Academy has always used magic horses to compete in transportation...... Well, all sorts of improved magic horses. There have been ...... that exploded directly at the starting line."
Avish: "The explosion is too exaggerated, but it's really ...... the Magic Stone Crystal to explode directly"
Sanfrey: "You know these things very well. ”
Yavic: "Yes, Your Highness, since we are learning and training for the purpose of participating in the competition, it is naturally necessary to study and learn from the experience of past failures. ”
Sanfret nodded in agreement with Yavic's statement, which made the young man excited.
Yu Youzi was curious: "Will there be such an accident?
"The gold competition is more about teaching ability, not the ability of teachers! Everyone is looking at it, well, your teacher can come to guide, but if people know that things are made by teachers, it is a small matter to lose the qualification, well, being used as a laughing stock, the problem will be a big problem for you!"
Latith shook her ponytail, her face was red, and she patted Yu Youzi on the shoulder and said with a big grin: "We have the driving staff here, Hoshina and the others are out of machinery, we have to get the general text of the academy, and we can assemble our own magic horse to compete!! hey, or let Yu Youzi drive!" The girl patted Yu Youzi vigorously, as if the black-haired boy ignored her before venting.
Kenanel and Imahas followed, looking embarrassed, and pushed Ratis back to the shelf, sorry for his companion's drunkenness.
After the women's group left, Yu Youzi brought the topic back to the previous topic and said, "Just now, the Ring Tower Competition seems to be an event in the Golden Academy Competition?"
Nebuan: "Yes, there are two other projects, both of which test the students' ability, one is to discuss the hottest events of the time in the square, in fact, there is not much to see......"
Sanfrie: "I can't say that, whether or not a discourse can attract an audience is a great test of a person's wit, adaptability, and knowledge, and it is elegant. ”
Nebuan hurriedly said, "Your Highness is right. ”
Yavich laughed, "You've only heard of it, and you haven't really seen the square discourse, it's not that you don't think it's interesting. ”
Nibuan: "I've seen it in the square, no, it's a speech, it's an old man talking about some kind of religious thing......"
Feeling that the topic was gradually about to deviate to the point where he didn't know where, Yu Youzi hurriedly opened his mouth to guide the topic again: "Then what other projects are there in the Golden Academy Competition?"
Nibuan: "That's the last one, and that's where the name of the competition comes from." Yavic nodded his head to say that it was the case.
"Oh?" this Yu wanderer was even more curious, and Sanfret seemed to know the answer to the riddle, and he didn't urge the other two to say it quickly.
Nebuan seemed to feel that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and was about to speak, but Yavic, who had finished drinking tea, took the lead and said: "It is to choose the gold trophy, which symbolizes the symbol of the Golden Academy competition." ”
Nebuan glanced at Avich dissatisfied, and continued: "The golden trophy is hidden from the winning academy of the last major competition to a certain location, covering the entire territory of the Hero Country, and all the students who have won the first two competitions will use all their knowledge to solve various puzzles and finally find the trophy. ”
Avic: "Although the trophies and puzzles were designed by the winning colleges of the previous year, they all need to be supervised and reviewed by the committee, so there is no bias towards their own colleges......
"Is it a treasure hunt?" Yu Youzi concluded.
Sanfrey: "It's a very interesting thing, if no student can find it after a certain period of time, then the puzzle will be open to the whole country, published in the newspaper, and everyone can look for it, and if you find it, you will get a reward." ”
Yu Youzi said strangely: "In this case, is that academy the winner?
Nibuan: "No, there was no winner in that big competition. ”
Javich further explained: "The big competition is a competition of students' ability, not a comparison of the ability of the faculty members of the college......
Sanfrey: "I remember a time when no one found it, and our kingdom got the newspaper, and I wanted to find it...... How many years ago did that. ”
Yu Youzi picked up a biscuit on the table and ate it, sorted out his thoughts and said, "In other words, there are a total of three projects in the Gold Academy Competition, and the one of the three projects has more winning projects, even if that academy wins?"
Nebuan shook his head: "The first two events are the knockout rounds, and the last remaining houses will participate in the final gold trophy match. ”
"Hmm, what's the elimination, do the top players advance to the next event?"
Yavic: "That's not the case...... The Tour of the Tower is an individual race that anyone can sign up for...... How to say it, the method of elimination is not to enter the top 500. ”
Yu Youzi exclaimed: "Top five hundred?!"
Sanfret said as he made a full tasting of tea, "I know the reason is that there are too many people participating, and this is a big event open to the whole world......
Javic: "Yes, it's like a holiday. Not to mention more than 100,000 people participated......"
Nibuan: "And because there are so many unexpected circumstances, it's good to be in the top 500." ”
This is even more surprising: "Ahem, more than 100,000 people...... Can you ask how long the Tour of Towers track is?"
Nebuan snorted, "The track? ”
"Yes, yes! One lap is considered a victory! Many means of transportation, that is, they lose because of lack of stamina! I have a design plan! Here, when the time comes, let Hoshina see that it will definitely work!"
A female voice sounded in Yu Youzi's ears, this bumpy way of speaking, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Latis on the back of his chair chattering. Kennan stood helplessly beside him, looking up at the table by the window, where Imahas seemed to have given up on the matter, and sat peacefully eating his refreshments.
Kenaner said with a helpless smile on his face: "I'm sorry Your Highness, Purple Crest, Latisi has a poor amount of wine, and it's like this with just one glass." ”
Sanfret waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and Yu Youzi got up and put Latis in his place, and said, "Since she likes this table, let her stay here......"
Kennanl: "I'll go get another chair and ......"
Yu Youzi said to the big girl: "I'll take it myself, why don't you sit here too?" Yu Youzi, who was about to go to the wall to move the spare chair, felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone, and when he looked down, it turned out to be Latisi.
The little girl pulled Yu Youzi by the sleeve, pulled him in front of her, and said, "Ahem, Yu Youzi, you are very powerful! I know, you can actually defeat that Tommy ......."
Latis's big eyes seemed to be unable to focus, and she looked watery and hazy, and she sprayed the wine on Yu Youzi's face one by one in her small mouth, making the black-haired boy complain in his heart: This is the situation of a cup?
Kennan let out a breath and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Latis's little hand, trying to make the girl let go of Yu Youzi's sleeve, but the girl grabbed it so hard that she was worried that it would hurt her, and she was very embarrassed for a while.
Yu Youzi patted Kenaner's arm: "Just let her do this, I'll stand here for a while." ”
"But......" Kenaner was about to say something, but he followed Yu Youzi's gestured eyes to Sanfrie, and His Royal Highness the Prince was looking at this side with an interesting expression. Now this kind of occasion is really not suitable for entanglement, so he sighed, no longer cared about Ladis, let her pull Yu Youzi's sleeve, and didn't move the chair, just stood aside, ready to clean up the mess at any time.
The scene was a little awkward, so Yu Youzi started the topic again: "Where did we talk about just now? How many days does it take to circle the Tower of Babel?"
Since it was someone on his side who was making trouble, it would be good to be able to alleviate the embarrassment, and Nibuan hurriedly said: "If it's fast, it's four cycles, and if it's slow, it's more than a year." ”
Yu Youzi didn't have any concept of this statement, so he changed his theory and asked, "How long does it take to circle the Hero Country?"
Nebuan hesitated a little, and Yavic hadn't thought about this question so he couldn't answer, and in the end, it was Sanfrey who opened his mouth after thinking: "It's almost such a long time, you drive the magic horse without sleeping, and if you maintain an average speed, you should be able to run in four cycles...... Of course, this is a case that does not take into account road conditions. No one can say how big the hero country is, and there is no road, but in a year, it will definitely be able to complete a circle. ”
