Chapter Seventy-Five: The Preliminary Contest (I)
The area of Water Spirit City is huge, covering a total area of several thousand square kilometers, it is a large city with a large population, there are high city walls built on all sides, and the whole city is shrouded in an enchantment, this enchantment is one year old with Water Spirit City, it is said that it has existed for thousands of years, but in the past few thousand years, there has been almost no war in the Demon God Continent, like this kind of enchantment, it is more like a decoration, and it has never played any role.
At this time, in the center of the Water Spirit City, there is a large altar suspended in the air, the altar is about 50 meters from the ground, and directly below the altar is a circular open space, which is the venue for the selection competition.
The selection tournament of the Demon God Palace,Held every ten years,The organizer is the three countries in turn,It is said that this is at the beginning of human history,After the three countries stood on their feet,It has been a continuous competition,If you want to enter the Demon God Palace, you can only participate in the competition through guò to have a chance。
Each Demon God Palace will send a representative to watch the whole game, and will select the best players from the competition to enter the Demon God Palace, and after they have been selected, the royal families of each country are allowed to choose from the rest of the people.
Therefore, this competition every ten years is particularly important for young talents who want to get ahead, and the Demon God Palace and the royal families of various countries that need talent input also attach great importance to it, and every time the competition has become an opportunity for various countries and various Demon God Palaces to compete.
The General Palace of the Demon God Palace, located on the ethereal Demon God Island, has never appeared in front of people, but there are two decrees that have been passed down to the world, the first is not to allow war on the mainland, and the second is to respect the Demon God Palace.
For thousands of years, it is not that there has been no war, but every time the power of war arises, it has been wiped out overnight, and the national royal family is no exception.
But it is human nature to be aggressive, and people who have been in a state of peace for a long time and still have power have changed the way of fighting, and various competitions have arisen since then, and this Demon God Palace selection tournament, which is held every ten years, has become the most advanced way to compete.
The sun was slowly rising, and it was close to noon at this time, and representatives of the royal family and the Demon God Palace from all over the world arrived one after another, sitting in the VIP seats and referee seats in the first row.
As the organizer of this selection competition, Lingxi Holy Maiden and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Water Spirit Country were present together, Lingxi was still wearing a white veil to cover her face, and as soon as she entered the table, the other two Holy Maidens and the princes of the Firmament Country and the Longao Ancient Kingdom also entered one after another.
The three saints looked at each other with subtle eyes, and Lingxi spoke first, indicating that the time had come, and then asked for the holy weapon to open the enchantment.
The holy weapon held by Lingxi is a mirror, when there is no urging, the mirror is simple and unpretentious, and there is nothing special to see, while what Su Su is holding is a feather spear, the red feather is full of luster, elegant and supple, but the tip of the spear is extremely sharp, and the reflected light pierces people's tears, and another saint took out a small gourd from the sleeve, the body of the gourd is dark yellow, without a trace of superfluous texture, it is natural, the gourd has no cover, and there is nothing special from the appearance.
I saw that the three of them all solemnly held the holy weapon in the palm of their hands, flew into the sky, and went straight to the altar floating in the air.
The countless spectators at the scene all stood up automatically, pressed their right hands on their left chests, bowed their heads to the central altar, and silently recited prayers in their hearts.
The three holy women held three holy objects and landed on the altar, and there were three grooves on the altar, which was exactly the appearance of the three holy weapons.
The three holy artifacts first emitted a faint light, but as everyone prayed for a long time, the more holy the light became, and finally as if gathering countless energy, a burst of strong light suddenly erupted above the altar, and then a colorful light curtain tilted down in an arc, just enveloping the entire competition field inside.
It was not until this time that the competition venue was officially arranged, and the supreme priest of the Demon God Palace of the Water Spirit Country recited the blessing and took the lead in praying to the demon god, and the opening ceremony was officially over and the game was announced.
The crowd who had been in a state of tension and strictness finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they all sat down one after another, all of them in groups of three or five to turn their heads and ears to each other.
"Is that the legendary Hallows?"
"Yes, it was all given to the Demon God Palace by the Demon God, and it was the first time I saw it, the last time I held the selection competition in the Firmament Country, I didn't save enough spirit stones, and I didn't make it, and this time I finally grabbed it, and there are a lot of spirit stones behind me who haven't come in." ”
It is said that the holy weapons are usually placed in the hands of the most sacred demon god stone statue in the Demon God Palace, absorbing the beliefs of all living beings, and they are all psychic. ”
"That's it, if there is no holy weapon for this kind of altar now, who can open it, after all, the martial saints are legends, I heard that these altars were built by the demon gods themselves, this time I was fortunate to see it, go home and brag to my wife, she can serve me well at night, hehe." ”
In the audience at the top, this kind of conversation is everywhere, for ordinary people, being able to admire the great demon god's handiwork, and being able to participate in the grand event held in the Demon God Palace, is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, even if it is spent on half a lifetime of savings, it is worth it, and no one will think that there is anything wrong with ruining their family for this, but they are all proud.
The further down, the better the position, the nobles, the status, the strength, are all in the lower position, in comparison, those areas are very quiet.
The three saints and the royal representatives of the three countries all sat in the referee's bench in the first row, without a word of dialogue, not even eye contact, and at this time they all did not squint at the first wave of opponents who came up to the playing field.
The contestants are all in each country, in fact, they all participate in various selection and promotion tournaments in each country, and all of them are all cleared in order to appear in the field of the selection competition, of course, there are some exceptions, that is, the escort list of each country and the escort list of the Demon God Palace.
There are a total of 600 people from each country who participate in the competition according to the normal procedures, and each country has a quota of 200 people, and each country has a quota of 10 people, and each Demon God Palace, there are only 2 escort places, respectively, it is said that there is a Demon God Palace Master and a Holy Maiden.
There are a total of 30 players in each wave of competition, 10 people from each country, and the melee mode is implemented, so that a total of 20 games will be experienced, which is considered the preliminary round of the selection round, and finally 5 people will be promoted to each game, and a total of 100 people can be promoted to participate in the semi-finals.
The first wave of contestants entered one after another after the supreme priest prayed and announced the start of the game, because it was the first wave of contestants, so it attracted the most attention, and when it was ready, 30 contestants released their martial spirits one after another, and the enthusiasm of the audience was completely mobilized at this time.
