Chapter 244: It Turned Out to Be a Set
The guest house in Γle de France is actually an in-house inn built by the island's administration. The guest house was built very close to the island administration and was an enclosed courtyard with guards guarding the door.
All people staying in the hostel must have the relevant official certificate and introduction. Upon check-in, you will be issued a key card that will be verified upon re-entry.
The location of the accommodation is specified by the guest house, and the individual basically has no choice, which is relatively different from ordinary inns.
When Ding Qin went over, he was brought over by this so-called adult. Her status seems to be very high, and from the time she enters the door to the time she picks up her card, those people show her extreme respect. And in the process of taking the card, the guest house also provided all the vacant housing distribution maps for the first time for Ding Qin to see for himself.
Ding Qin chose a room that was relatively close to the door. He didn't like the feeling of living in a deep compound, close to the gate, at least he could get in and out easily. After getting the room card, the woman left on her own, leaving Ding Qin to go to the room with the waiter.
The room is not big, there are two rooms inside and outside, but it is enough for Ding Qin's temporary stay. After resting on the bed for a while, Ding Qin got up and left the guest house to learn the basic situation of Γle Francis.
Although the size and population of the two islands of Great Britain and Francis Island are basically the same, there are still great differences between the two islands in the construction of the whole island.
The British Isle is more natural, with a slightly looser architecture and a more obvious sense of adaptation, while the Isle of France is more artificial, with heavy traces of planning and layout, horizontal and vertical buildings, and carefully carved streets, and the idea of transforming the environment is more prominent.
Walking through the streets here, you feel like you're back in the big city. Unconsciously, Ding Qin actually missed his hometown.
Two days went by in a flash.
During this period, Ding Qin found that quite a few people from Francie Island had come to try to pass the so-called three passes. Unfortunately, it seems that very few people can actually pass the second level.
As for whether those people have passed the third level, Ding Qin doesn't know. However, he probably counted, and after him, there were only six people living in the guest house.
Early on the morning of the third day, when people had just gotten up, they heard a gong in the guest house. Someone shouted, "All those who have passed the three levels of assessment are gathered and ready to meet the island owner." β
Ding Qin came out in response and saw that nearly twenty people had gathered here. Among the twenty people, most of them are young, generally looking no more than thirty years old, but there are also relatively old ones, and the oldest one must be about fifty years old.
The man who came to lead the way, "Everyone, stand in two columns, follow me." β
With that, he went out first.
Since there was no one to organize, the people behind were also a little chaotic for a while, and after walking out of the gate for nearly a hundred meters, they lined up.
Along the way, there was hardly anyone to talk to. Walking all the way to the outside of the big wall of the administrative office, the leader said, "Everyone, all the way, enter the administrative office, and you must not speak casually." β
With this man, the procession passed through the door of the administration office and stopped at the edge of the central square.
The central plaza is not large because it is built in the courtyard of the administrative office. Now, in the middle of the square, there is a square ring about 10 meters on the side, which is covered with a layer of red cloth.
The leader took them to a side house, whispered a few words to some people at the door, and then let them in one by one. When they came out again, the people split into two parts, one part returned to the edge of the ring, and the other part was taken through the back door.
When Ding Qin entered, he found that the furnishings in the house were simple, but there were many people. He was asked to stand in a fixed position and turn from side to side a few times, until a man behind a drape said "yes" and he was brought out again.
Ding Qin also returned to the edge of the ring. Now there are only eight people left, all of them about their own age. He was curious as to where the others had gone.
After all, the older one who also walked through the back door was most likely the age and seniority of taking care of him, right?
After everyone came out, they only listened to the original leader of the humanitarian, "After the three-layer checkpoint assessment, plus the island owner's personal determination, there are eight people who can participate in the competition and recruit relatives." Eight people lined up in a team, divided into groups of twos and twos, and then the four groups competed on stage, and the winner advanced. β
What, what?
Ding Qin couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong.
What did you just say, a contest to recruit relatives? Where did you come from?
He raised his hand directly, "I have a problem. β
Seeing him speak at this time, not only the other seven people in the team, but also some people on the sidelines also cast surprised looks.
The host who took the lead probably didn't expect anyone to ask questions, so he was stunned for a moment, and then walked over, "What's the situation?"
Ding Qin said calmly, "I'm here to see the island owner, not to compete and recruit relatives." You guys are mistaken. β
"Wrong?" The host looked Ding Qin up and down, "I'm not here to recruit relatives, why did you sign up for customs clearance?"
Ding Qin frowned, "I didn't sign up." I came to see the island owner, and then I was taken by one of your adults to go through the three levels. β
The host looked displeased, "Then you mean, our adults are mistaken?"
Ding Qin nodded, "That's right, it's just a mistake." β
"Jokes. The host looked disdainful, "During this period, how can you make mistakes in so many links?"
Ding Qin listened to his tone and knew that emphasizing his intention might not bring any benefit, so he thought for a while and said, "Then, what if I withdraw from the competition now and apply to see the island owner directly?"
"Cut, is it possible?" said the host, "before that, we made an announcement on the whole island, and before the tournament was recruited, the owner of the island did not see any guests. Don't you see? And, I can tell you explicitly. If you quit now, we won't stop you. However, in that case, you will not have a chance to meet the owner. β
He tilted his neck suddenly, "You don't want to give up because you think that several people here are better than you, and you are afraid of getting hurt, right?"
As soon as the host said this, the people in the team who were in the same group as Ding Qin were the first to laugh. The remaining six people also laughed deliberately.
Ding Qin didn't even glance at them. He knew that he had come to this point, maybe it was a misunderstanding of that adult, or it could be deliberate.
If the woman is there......
His gaze quickly searched around, and soon settled on the other corner of the ring.
"It's the Lord. She brought me here. Ding Qin pointed his finger at her, "If you don't believe me, you can ask her." β
The host looked at Ding Qin's hand, and his face changed slightly. The woman had obviously heard what Ding Qin had said, and was walking towards this side at this time.
When it was approaching, the host saluted first, "Third aunt." Just now he said that he didn't come to recruit relatives in martial arts, but just to see the island owner, and then you brought him here, saying that it was a misunderstanding. β
The so-called third aunt smiled and squinted at Ding Qin. There was an incomprehensible feeling in her smile, "That's right, he's not here to sign up for a marriage." He had come to see the owner of the island. It's just that,"
She still looked at Ding Qin with that smile, "When this kid came, I saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and I thought it was a good material." In particular, although he is young, his speech and demeanor are extremely steady. That's why I wanted to give it a try with these three levels. I didn't expect him to pass the test, and he had just been initially recognized by the owner. β
Ding Qin was a little dissatisfied with what she said, "Why didn't you tell me directly that the three levels were the preliminary preparations for the martial arts competition?"
The third aunt said, "If I told you, would you try it? Actually, if you pass the three levels, it doesn't mean that you can win the fight." If you win the fight, it is only one of the basic conditions for the island owner to recruit relatives, and whether the island owner wants you in the end is not necessarily. β
Ding Qin took a deep breath, "Third aunt, I want to explain two things. First, I just want to see the owner, I don't want to marry the owner. Second, I'm not interested in your martial arts competition. This matter is your own decision, and it is not too much for me to ask for withdrawal now. β
"Bold!" The host shouted beside him, "You dare to say that the third aunt is making her own opinion, ......what do you think you are?"
Before he finished his words, the third aunt waved her hand, "That's it." Let him say it. However, "
She looked at Ding Qin, "What the host said before was right. Now, unless you win the ring, you won't have a chance to meet the owner. This is true for both public and private. β
"You're a bit overbearing. Ding Qin snorted lightly, "I've grown so big, and I've never seen someone forced to beat people like this." β
The third aunt smiled, "I'll force it, what can you do? I also reported your matter to the island owner, and she agreed, what can you do? If you want to see the island owner, there is only one way, beat these people." This is our Γle Francisco territory, and the rules are set by us, what's the matter?"
She was a completely scoundrel at this time, and the tone of her voice was extremely inconsistent with her status.
Ding Qin is now extremely angry, "I can't do anything." Big deal, I've set off your ring and ruined this invitation!"
"Yo Yo Yo," the third aunt pouted a few times, "Look at this child, what a big breath." Do you think that if you can lift the stone ball, you will be able to lift the ring? Do you think that if you can pass the three levels, you will be able to destroy the recruitment of relatives?"
Her expression suddenly became cold, her tone became serious, and she raised her arm and pointed around the outer edge of the ring, "Come on, take a look." Keep your eyes open and see. There are a hundred elite soldiers here, how capable can you be to ruin the recruitment of relatives? joke. I'm telling you,"
One of her fingers lifted Ding Qin's chin, "Don't lose your life in the end just for the sake of being in the limelight." β
