006 Departure, Goodbye, Emerald Forest
At the beginning of October, many people were still silent in the turmoil when the quota for the last Academy Cup was announced, Li Xiang was selected to go to the three main battlefields alone, and Fei Yujing, who did not report any information, appeared in the list of [Dark Whispers].
After discussions between many bigwigs and the Goddess of Calamity system, it was confirmed that these two things were not accidents, but the choices of the Goddess of Calamity system.
As a mysterious super system that assists humans, the Goddess of Calamity has always been the most secret and legendary existence of the Seven Continents, and she has witnessed since the first batch of players, and has experienced countless ups and downs in the human camp, and is the greatest help to mankind.
It is said that she has a high sense of self, and even the five kings cannot interfere with her decisions, and the Duke of Silo has tried to find the body of the goddess of calamity, but has never found anything, she can hack into the system of any human camp at will, attach to everyone's communication device, but no one can find her body according to these clues.
The goddess of calamity confirmed, and no one questioned these two things anymore, compared to Fei Yujing, being able to go to the three main battlefields alone is both an opportunity and a crisis.
Li Xiang didn't care too much, and continued to concentrate on the improvement of strength and the production of twin flowers, with the help of Dean Lei Lin, he finally made the finished product of the twin flowers in early October, plus the special bullets that had been prepared before, and the new gun that he had been thinking about for a long time was finally put on the table.
Naruo's side also replied, she was very satisfied with the heavy sniper silence, and she happened to lack a suitable sniper rifle at hand when she was selected to go to [Dark Whisper].
According to the confidential documents of the Academy Cup, starting on October 10, it will be a seven-day [Emerald Forest] experience, and the participating students will first go to the headquarters of Wessex, located in the City of Machines in the 1st District of the Sea and Land.
From there, the magic circle leads to the area where the Emerald Forest is located.
Wessex has a huge essentia resource in its possession, and has been secretly expanding its territory and subsidiary worlds over the years, and it is currently the one with the most subsidiary worlds among all super powers.
The world in which Twilight and Nasaro live is also the territory of Wessex.
This huge family is not only the mechanical overlord of the Seven Continents, but also the master of countless small worlds.
On the evening of October 9, after saying goodbye to his friends, Li Xiang boarded the floatboat to Wessex alone, holding the basic rules of the Academy Cup that he had read countless times, and Li Xiang's thoughts flew to the endless night scene outside the window.
The Dead Sea that swept below was still rising with a disgusting black fog, and the border area of City 0010 was also fighting to the death with xenomorphs day after day, although there was the support of Li Xiang's Crimson Heavy Industries, the pressure on the border was still huge, and many border soldiers died on the beach every moment, becoming a pile of white bones that no one cared about.
When will such a day end?
After leaving the range of the academy, the communicator can be used normally, and during the same period, Chen Fan and they are all eligible to participate in the academy cup, but the main battlefield in the past is different.
Chen Fan, Ji Wanqing, Yu Bai, and Li Weilan are also [Emerald Forest], Bai Micha, Amakusa Lie, and Yakumo Ai are [Deep Sea Country], and Fei Yujing, Phoenix, and Ji Ruoyu, who give him the most headaches, are all in [Dark Whispering].
I haven't seen him for a year, and Li Xiang is also looking forward to meeting Chen Fan again.
In addition, when he thinks of Wessex, he can't help but think of the mechanical girl he met in the Sky Arena, Cecilia Wessex, the only daughter of Duke Cilo, his cousin.
The two have not been in contact since Pheasant 2-7, but at that time, she should have recognized her identity because of [Gear Pupil], and I don't know if she will participate in this Academy Cup.
The sea and land are in the middle of an ocean, and the ocean in which it is located is different from the Dead Sea, the sea is blue and the scenery is pleasant, which is completely different from the lifeless appearance of the Dead Sea.
Ji Wanqing studied at Hailu No. 1 Player University, no wonder she said that Hailu is the most suitable place for retirement life in the Seven Continents, where is located the Clock Tower Alliance, the Catas Zhaofei Committee and the Wessex Headquarters, the three super forces are managed together, no other throne and family are involved, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the pace of life is slow, mainly engaged in agriculture, fishing and other basic industries.
Compared to the strife and slaughter of other continents, this place can indeed be regarded as a paradise.
The floatship landed lightly on the outskirts of the City of Machines.
Overlooking from the top, the City of Machinery is full of punk atmosphere and mechanical flavor, it is a highly developed technology city, many high-tech mechanical devices that have not yet been popularized in the Seven Continents have begun to be tried here, and many exquisite machines are eye-opening.
The Duke of Silo not only pushed Wessex to the pinnacle of human machinery, but also raised the entire family and everything around it to a height that others could not reach, where they could get in touch with the most cutting-edge technology, and countless mechanical enthusiasts settled here all year round, happily studying various devices and technologies, and promoting development together.
This is the mecca of machinery.
There is a huge robotic arm working non-stop in the sky, and maybe in the blink of an eye, a skyscraper will be built or renovated.
Even the daily life of residents is full of all kinds of high-tech products, which is surprising.
Li Xiang, who jumped off the floatboat, put on a bracelet that could track his location at any time, and was led to a skyscraper.
The hall is filled with contestants from various universities, who are scattered into small groups and occasionally intersect.
"Li Xiang is here, here!" A loud and powerful voice sounded in the crowd, it was Chen Fan, who was wearing a light yellow military uniform.
Next to him stood Ji Wanqing, who was wearing a bright red cheongsam, with a slender figure and beautiful cheeks that were very conspicuous in a crowd of people.
Seeing Li Xiang coming, Ji Wanqing smiled faintly.
Bang!
The two punched each other hard, and then hugged each other hard.
"You've grown a lot stronger. In Chen Fan's memory, Li Xiang was still the thin boy who had just entered the polar night, and now his height was about the same as himself.
"Each other, are you still good at mixing in the military department?" Li Xiang also sighed for a while, the old enemy in the previous life has become a close friend in this life, and fate is so capricious.
"Generally, after knowing that the Gendarmerie Department is the hometown of the owl, I don't have much passion. Chen Fan learned from Li Xiang that General Ji Clashing Blood turned out to be the boss behind the Owl, which made him completely lose confidence in the military department, and recently he has been thinking about how to transfer to the border support department under the name of Brigadier General Bai, "After this Academy Cup, I may go to the border to serve in advance, and then wait for next year's starry sky turbulence." ”
"Be careful. Li Xiang knew the danger of the border best, but since he had decided, there was no need to admonish.
He turned his head to look at Ji Wanqing, who smiled at him again.
"Long time no see. ”
"Long time no see. ”
"What about sea and land?" Li Xiang said concisely, Ji Wanqing was very smart, and she would definitely understand the meaning of his words.
"Yes, I've already interned in the Players Association, and I do have more access to high-level people here, and you were there when I heard that the tarot cards attacked the demon family?" Ji Wanqing's face only changed when she mentioned the tarot cards, her hatred for this organization was deep-rooted, and this was also a headache for Li Xiang.
It was the Evil Head Sect that slaughtered the Ji family, but how could she pay attention to so much? Besides, even if the Evil Head Sect and the Fool Sect did not use the path, they were all her father's people after all, and these grievances must find an opportunity to communicate with her properly.
"Well, Osiris has brought several large Arcana card holders. Li Xiang nodded.
"I'm going to kill him. Ji Wanqing said word by word.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Chen Fan was about to say something, but the person in charge of Wessex suddenly appeared and gathered all the students in the hall together.
"It's an honor to invite you to participate in the first main battlefield of the Academy Cup hosted by Wessex, [Emerald Forest], and next, please welcome Lord Xiluo with the warmest applause to explain the rules this time!" the person in charge transmitted the sound to every corner through the loudspeaker.
The hall, which was originally a little noisy, fell silent in an instant after hearing Silo's name!
Duke Silo personally explained!
Li Xiang cast his gaze on the mechanical platform, where a tall figure was projected.
The appearance of Duke Xiluo instantly ignited the atmosphere in the hall, as long as he lived in the Seven Continents, no one would not know his name.
His appearance is very ordinary, and he does not have the handsome and handsome face of a European, but those eyes have shocked countless people, as if there is a sea of stars hidden in it, deep and far.
"I'm Silo, welcome to Wessex. The concise sentence and low voice are actually a little similar to Li Xiang.
He had seen a picture of his father in Lancelot's manor, which was five points similar to the Silo in front of him.
"The Emerald Forest is inhabited by dragons and elves all year round, as well as many ancient races that you don't know exist. Remember, the owners of the Emerald Forest are dragons and goblins, not us humans, and you must not have too much friction with the natives while inside, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get you back from their hands. ”
Being able to dare to resist the rule of humans, and make Duke Xiluo helpless, shows how powerful the dragons and goblins are, they live in seclusion in the Emerald Forest, but ask about the situation of the Seven Continents, and do not allow other races to enter their territory at will.
can make these old monsters agree to set the main battlefield of the Academy Cup in the Emerald Forest, which shows that the name of Duke Xiluo is still very big.
"The rules this time are simple, October is the breeding season for dragons and elves, when there will be countless dragon eggs and elf eggs scattered all over the Emerald Forest, you need to find all kinds of treasures in the Emerald Forest, and use them to exchange with dragons and elves to get their dragon eggs and elf eggs. ”
"Dragons and goblins have rarity divisions, there will be a copy of the information sent to you, the rarer the variety, the more difficult it is to obtain, and the final judgment will be based on the dragon eggs or goblin eggs you hatch, remember, each person can only exchange for one. ”
"May I ask Lord Xiluo, can the hatched dragons or elves follow us in the future?" one student asked eagerly.
This is also one of the criteria, the first step is to acquire, the second step is to incubate, and the third step is to contract. Only when you complete it is qualified, of course, if you die halfway, you will fail. Siloh said in a cold voice, "Once again, the master of the Emerald Forest is not us humans. ”
With that, Silo's projection vanished.
His vigorous and resolute personality made Li Xiang quite impressed, and after the rules were finished, Wessex arranged for the contestants to enter the magic array in batches.
The magic circle was developed by the magicians of Wessex together, and it can only transmit people to the Emerald Forest in one direction, and when the time comes, the dragons and goblins of the Emerald Forest will need to teleport the contestants back in another way, and if the relationship with them is stiff and they are unwilling to help return, they may be forced to stay in the Emerald Forest permanently.
Duke Xiluo repeatedly emphasized that they had a correct mentality, that is, they were afraid that some students with monstrous family backgrounds would be too arrogant and arouse the disgust of dragons and goblins, after all, human beings have always regarded themselves as rulers for so many years, and rarely treat other races equally.
Li Xiang approached the magic array, the magic particles on it fluctuated very clearly, the magician deserved to be the profession with the highest affinity for magic particles among the players, just from the magic array, he could feel that their control of the magic particles and the magician were completely two levels.
Stepping into the magic array, a huge whirlpool of will appeared above his head, Li Xiang closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let the surrounding magic particles invade his body.
That will scanned Li Xiang's body from beginning to end, as if it was testing something, fortunately, the original array had completely transformed the calamity heart, and the examination ended quickly, with a burst of mental trance, when he opened his eyes again, Li Xiang was already in a world of turquoise jade.
The breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but from the view, it is undoubtedly a paradise that is rarely seen on earth.
Li Xiang did not let his guard down, if you don't take the initiative to provoke the natives of the Emerald Forest, it doesn't mean that they will definitely treat you, there are several dangerous races mentioned in the manual, they are naturally hostile to humans, and if they are too relaxed, they are likely to be in a different place in an instant.
There are no maps, no hints, and you can only rely on your own abilities and luck to find treasures.
Li Xiang didn't rush to find something, but found a towering ancient tree, and chose the commanding height to conduct a topographic observation first.
Trained as an excellent assassin, Li Xiang strives to be familiar with his surroundings before he acts, no matter what environment he finds himself in.
He doesn't like to move in very unfamiliar environments.
"I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. Li Xiang's eyesight was amazing, and everywhere he looked, except for all kinds of vegetation and strange flowers and trees, he didn't see a single living thing.
This indicates that the area where he was born is likely to be a very remote place.
This will avoid the initial danger, but it will also cause a lot of trouble for his search, this experience is only seven days, the Emerald Forest is huge, no smaller than a continent, if you are unlucky, you may not find anything.
