"Still a little reluctant!"

Link couldn't help but shake his head after seeing the results of the second round released, in fact, the result of eliminating two players at once is not unacceptable, three of the ten peak duel participants were finally shortlisted, but at the same time, this is also a lot of pressure!

Because since it is a competition, the final winner has always been the only one who won the top crown, and the rest of the chess opponents, although the defeat is still glorious nonsense to fool outsiders, but it does not play a comforting role for the players who put up the formation, at least the people who can enter the finals will never make this excuse for themselves!

So looking at the results of Heine, Lloyd, and Ramsey in the bottom half of the rankings, knowing that the chances of winning the championship are very slim, so the gimmick of vacating one-third of the places, and finally returning empty-handed, is a blow to the Aishin alchemy world who wants to take this opportunity to revive or these children who are trying to compete.

There is a saying that "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment", and now Link even regrets that his own players rushed too hard in the previous match.

Xiao Yi on the side seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's boring for you to think like this!"

"Why, don't you think it's a pity?" Lin Keqi said, it stands to reason that as the instructor of these children, the results he gets will be marked with a strong personal imprint, so he will naturally care more, but then it becomes clear:

What level is Xiao Yi, and how can he care about using such a way to show himself, if he really has this mind, I believe that as long as he relies on the ability he has shown so far, as long as he shows a slight intention to accept apprentices, including these outstanding children in the guild, it is guaranteed that he will cry and shout and squeeze his head!

Combined with his previous performances in the competition, it is estimated that he didn't even pay attention to the judges in the whole conference!

"Whatever your goal is, the kids have worked hard and definitely improved compared to what we did in the conference, and that's a good thing!

I know that you are worried about the development of the entire domestic industry, so you should focus more on the spirit and meaning that can be unearthed behind the achievements, rather than simply a certain honor.

Don't say that you can't see the future achievements of these children, if you want me to say that you are cheap and good!"

"Hehe, I'm used to worrying, if you really want me to rest assured that when the game is over, you can't just leave them alone!" Link finally smiled.

"After that, the game is not over, I am very confident in them!"

As he was talking, the scene fried again.

"Damn, it's Monin's Box of Horrors!"

"This Nima is simply torturous, okay, don't talk about solving the problem, I haven't seen the real thing!"

Link was also a little stammered, as this particular name represented a legend in the alchemy world.

About a thousand years ago, an alchemist named Monin invented a unique method of life-and-death dueling between alchemists because of a feud with another colleague:

The two men concocted a mixture of potent poisons, then placed the antidote into a special magic box with seven layers that could break seals with specific potions.

After the two of them set the type of seal, they put their own antidote and sealed it, and delivered it to each other along with the poison.

During the duel, the two need to each take the poison provided by the other party, and then quickly break the seal set by the other party to get the antidote within the time when the effect of the drug is deadly!

The creator of this method invited everyone to watch the duel, but both of them and their opponents were tortured by poison and were unable to break the seal in time.

Although the barbaric and cruel elements of it were abandoned, this method could only be seen in the fighting skills between top alchemists, and it became more and more rare with the flow of history, and finally became a sealed legend.

I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see the real thing in this finals, and the format just announced is not as simple as decryption:

The only way to avoid it is to untie the seal box in front of them as soon as possible under the pressure and torture to take out the antidote and take it, and use this as a criterion for passing the score to determine the final champion.

No one can say what kind of competition can be achieved under the strict and cruel rules, but in the face of the medicine bottle in front of him, no one hesitated after giving an order.

All the contestants did not dare to delay for a second after taking the potion, uncovered the cover in front of them, and did not have half of their amazement and appreciation for the beautifully crafted and skilled sealing box, but just picked up a note next to it and carefully observed it repeatedly, there were clues on it of the potion needed to lift the first layer of seal.

Finding the only correct answer based on limited prompts is as elusive as guessing a puzzle.

"Green, wind attributes, decomposition type preparation, unstable, the raw materials are mostly made of chestnut grass and wind vine, 366-1......"

Looking at the words on the note, Pochi just thought for a moment and quickly ran to the spare area next to him to get the materials for making the potion, and after a while, he went into a simple production, a bottle of "Son of the Wind" potion was freshly baked, and without thinking, he poured the potion into the hole above the lid, and with a soft whistling sound of elemental disintegration, the outer layer of the sealing box opened in all directions, revealing the inner box that was one size smaller on the inside.

There was another note that fell out, and it seemed that the first layer of unsealing was obviously successful, and the second layer of seal breaking information was on the new note.

"I don't see that you still have some ability!" the voice in his head remembered again, relying on this foolish unknown existence to survive the second round of problems, and he didn't think there was any element of arrogance in this ridiculous tone.

Of course, when I saw that the other players were still in the different processes of breaking the first layer of seals, I was really lucky that I was obviously doing very well now, because there was actually no way to get the only result in the seemingly enlightening description just now, and what really worked was the strange number that seemed meaningless at the end.

Because it happened that just before leaving the Mainke Empire, the bookmark of the "Common Alchemy Recipe General Solution" in his apprentice's room was exactly at page 366, and he still remembered the "Child of the Wind" potion of the second formula.

While the Sealed Puzzle Box is significantly weaker than the historical duel-only versions, it's still not an easy game to play.

The double test of depth of knowledge and operation technique must have become more and more difficult as the number of sealing layers deepened, and then felt a sudden dizziness in his mind, Poki knew that his remaining time had begun to enter the countdown stage.

So I didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately picked up the second note and reviewed it.
