Outside the battlefield, in a large room with dim light, this room can be said to be the preliminary judge's seat of the [Inheritor Competition], and the decision of victory or defeat will be decided by the recognized law in this room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Most of the people in the room are the masters or mentors of those who are the inheritors, collectively known as the guides.

Several observers wearing some kind of mechanical blindfold-like VR equipment, and the images they see are being projected on the wall through their equipment, and there are now as many as six at the same time, most of them in the final stages of losing suspense, and a few of them themselves go unnoticed. Today, most of the eyes are focused on the rightmost picture.

In charge of the broadcast on the far right is a young female observer, who observes and explains.

"As scheduled, the Basque squad battle - uh...... The name of the team is TBD. It was the second contact, the latter lengthening the battlefield, and the Basque squad chose to pursue, and it seemed that they would lose the supply advantage that Phoenix already had. ”

A middle-aged man in a suit who looked like Howard was watching the screen closely with a cigar in his mouth.

There are two major traditions in North America, one is [Cross Religion] and the other is [Pantheism], the former is divided into many lines, and the latter is a whole. The Howard family is one of the core members of the [Pantheist] sect in North America.

The two teams on the screen are at the same road rest stop, and it looks like they are about to catch fire.

"Hmph...... This kind of team formed in a hurry, no matter how capable the commander is, cannot exert his full strength, and there is no threat. "Old Howard is confident, after all, his son is the most clever kid, he brought the people personally selected by the family into Phoenix, and he has easily won once, as long as he wins this again, he can qualify for the rematch.

When the members of the opposing team meet for the first time, they don't even know each other's inheritance ability, and they can't understand each other's teams can only fight on their own, and they will never be able to defeat a united and disciplined team. In his opinion, this victory is already a certainty. Glancing to the right, the representative of the Central Plains has arrived.

【Han Xuzi・Zhu Quan】

Zhu Quan is a fashionably dressed flat-headed, square-faced man, and his heir will not arrive in Phoenix until three days later, but as the representative of the Central Plains 21 Jindan, he must be here today.

Old Howard's right leg was not very convenient, and he limped to Zhu Quan's side with a cane to greet him: "The Taoist chief of the East." ”

"Mr. Howard. Zhu Quan smiled kindly, "The first battle is two wins in three games, I heard that Childe has won the next one, as long as this game is passed, you can enter the next round." ”

"Yes, obviously, he was lucky. Although the previous team was very strong, it lacked the sense of teamwork. Old Howard changed his words, took a puff of cigarette, and swallowed the clouds: "At present, this eastern team is the same as the previous team, and it doesn't seem to be much of a threat...... Hey, hey, hey!"

In the smoke and fog, Zhu Quan held his breath and nodded: "However, if there is really no threat, then the real person will be able to walk out of the airport smoothly." However, it is also a blessing in disguise, and the desert scenery is indeed desirable, thanks to this 'accident'. ”

"Hmph......" Old Howard pinched the handle of the crutch with his right hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, why don't you see their [guides] appearing, and only one of Dongfang's friends is Mr. Quan?"

"Master Li Daochang's whereabouts are uncertain, and he is only afraid that he will be present in the finals. Luo Guanzhong was afraid of heights, and hoped that when he took a car and boat to this place, the competition was not over yet. Zhu Quan thought about it and didn't know whether to say the last sentence or not.

"What about that Li Shifu Daoist? Her hood is really impressive. Old Howard dusted off his cigarette ash and said with a smile: "Or did she not have any hope for her heir in the first place?"

"Well, her own attitude seems to me to be very different from Mr. Howard's. Zhu Quan looked at the ceiling and said while thinking: "Her original words were 'there is no need to pay attention to the victory or defeat without suspense', and she said that she would come back in the rematch." ”

Howard Sr. sneered: "This empty self-confidence is really admirable, I hope she will not be disappointed with the result." ”

"Well......" Zhu Quan was noncommittal.

"Mr. Hanxu. ”

On the other side, the two representatives of Ise Jingu and Asama Shrine also appeared, and they were the two shrine maidens that Xiao Yuanyou had seen before: Miyazaki and Murakami.

Zhu Quan hugged the salute: "Two, it seems that I don't see the palace secretary arrive." ”

Miyazaki nodded in return, and the Fujisu of Qingming Shrine next to him was a translator again: "The palace secretary of Ise Jingu and Asama Shrine has changed, and it is the Asama witch who participated in this competition." ”

Miyazaki and Murakami just came over to say hello, but their attention was still on Jun Asama, so they were a little absent-minded during the conversation.

For the shrine maidens of the two shrines, it doesn't matter if they win or lose the competition, and Asama Jun has three long and two short to gain more than he loses, and this 25-year routine is very unreasonable for the 20-year big shrine maiden system, and almost every two sessions will let an alternate great shrine maiden take risks, which is terrifying.

Zhu Quan knew that they were concerned about the safety of the shallow room, and after saying a few words casually, they went to watch the live situation of Xiao Yuanyou's battle together.

Old Howard had been hanging out next to him during the period, quite embarrassed, he snorted and sat aside, no longer accosting the other party, only sneering and watching the live content.

On the screen, Xiao Yuanyou is stepping on a flying sword, flying in the air at a scrap car recycling station to confirm the surrounding environment and the way to advance and retreat of the entire recycling station. Several teammates quickly found their positions under his control, and the overall cooperation was reasonable and calm.

Outside the recycling station, the Howard family's Basque team is also in place, and the two sides are not far apart, and they may meet in five minutes if they find the right direction. One is cautiously exploring, the other is rationally regulated, and they are all busy.

This was Xiao Yuanyou's [inheritor]'s first battle, and he himself would not have thought that before his battle officially began, he had already made the representatives of East Asia and North America start a secret competition.

Stand to reason.

Because each lineage has its own beliefs, their attitude towards each other is one of scruples rather than favor. Cooperation is now a matter of necessity, and once given the opportunity, to help each other, it must be based on the premise of unequal treaties.

The world's overhaul and the hope of the younger generation of [inheritors] have their own intentions. There are those who want to look at the world, such as the Howard family. There are those who only seek self-preservation, such as the two great shrines. There are peaceful coexistences, such as Central Plains Taoism. There are also self-righteous ones, such as the Crucifixion.

And so on.

Thinking of this, Zhu Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If Luo Guanzhong is here, it is estimated that he will sigh 'If you divide for a long time, you will be together, and you will be divided for a long time', hiss-I don't know where he is now?"

Luo Guanzhong, who was watching the sunset and crashing waves on a cruise ship, thought of that apprentice, and felt emotional: "It is estimated that two tigers are fighting, and there must be an injury." ”
