The joyful festival flies by quickly, and the autumn festival is over in the blink of an eye, and while the festive atmosphere is still in Winterfell, it's time for families to get ready.

Such a festival celebrated in the city was only one day off, which made Tang Qi very unaccustomed, but considering the pressure of life, it didn't seem strange. Before dawn in the morning, Tang Qi packed his bags, said goodbye to his mother who wanted to see him off, and left home alone.

Louise didn't show up, Tang Qi was slightly disappointed, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with yesterday's plan, even if she wasn't grateful, there was no reason to worsen the relationship.

The grand ceremony selection is on the first day of the grand ceremony, and the selection itself is also part of the aristocratic festival carnival......

Those who signed up for the festival gathered in the center of the city, took a horse-drawn carriage, and when they arrived in the middle of the city, the sun was just in full bloom, and the cold light illuminated the silent streets.

At this time, there were already many people in the square, everyone wearing thick clothes, covering their heads in fur hats, and carrying large and small bags. Tang Qi originally thought that his equipment was good, dressed in snow-white leather armor changed from Ranger leather armor, with crossbows, short swords, and sharp swords, but when he saw the crowd, he couldn't help but sigh that there were so many rich people.

A fat man walked by, carrying a one-person-high bag, wearing bearskin armor, and a long sword at his waist was blue, presumably a sharp weapon. A woman surrounded by the crowd, wearing an exaggerated fiery red scale armor, carrying a blood-red spear, the tip of the spear seemed to be burning with flames, coincidentally, Tang Qi had seen this gun in the journal "Forging", which was known as the best weapon in the Source Point Realm, and the price was staggering. In addition to this, more than 2,000 people are scattered into large and small circles, each of which has more or less well-equipped people.

The upper age of the grand ceremony selection is 30 years old, Tang Qi's age is considered small, looking at it, the vast majority of people are in the middle stage of source qi, a few are in the late stage, and there are only 5 people at the peak. People who can reach the peak of source qi before the age of 30 are not bad, and they may not all be willing to do things for the nobles, of course, some people are directly recruited by the nobles.

Tang Qi looked in the crowd, and sure enough, he saw Valen, there were 5 people around him, all of whom should be members of the Reynolds gang, seeing this, Tang Qi stood in the crowd, and it was not suitable to conflict with him before he found out the assessment situation.

Suddenly, there was a tap on the shoulder, and then a familiar voice came: "Xiaoqi, brother, I'm here to accompany you." William's smirk popped up.

"Why are you here!" Tang Qi was surprised, he remembered that William had said before that he would not participate in the grand ceremony.

"Don't say it, the old man forced me to come, it seems that the family business offended people, and the old man gave an order, saying that either he would marry the eighth lady of the Anders family, or he would participate in the grand ceremony and climb a good backer. You said that my brother can get any good results in this ability, and I didn't want to participate in it. William sighed and stretched out three fingers: "But I secretly glanced at the eighth lady, there are three of them that I weigh, for the sake of my life, I can only choose to come here." ”

Tang Qi glanced William up and down, he didn't see him all night, he actually broke through to the middle stage of the source qi, but the source qi fluctuated sluggishly, and he should have forcibly broken through by taking medicine. William smiled without hesitation: "Don't look at my weak strength, but I came prepared." As he spoke, he pulled Tang Qi aside and slightly opened his trench coat, which had a hand crossbow and a full load of crossbow arrows hanging from the inside of the trench coat.

"Gale crossbow. Tang Qi gasped, this is a famous hand crossbow, according to legend, it is made by imitating the elf clan's wind crossbow, even if it does not bless the source qi, it can also cause a fatal blow to the middle stage of the source qi, and after blessing the source qi, it can pose a threat to the peak of the source qi.

"I don't know where the old man stole it, but he said that if the crossbow is lost, no one will come back. William smiled wryly.

In this regard, Tang Qi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, with the temper of old William, he could imagine how much pressure he was under. However, with a weapon like the Gale Crossbow, the strength of his two-person squad has also been greatly improved.

"Even if there is a gale crossbow, the two of you can only be at the bottom......" A crisp voice came, this highly recognizable voice, Tang Qi didn't turn his head to know that it was a thief girl, so he dragged William away without looking back.

"Hey, listen to me!" Fuyana dodged in front of Tang Qi.

"Did you just crawl out of the garbage heap, why are you so dirty. Tang Qi frowned, he had long been immune to her dirty and pitiful image, but today's style was a little too exaggerated, and the cute facial features could still be seen on the little face that was originally painted with gray, and now ...... It's a piece of black charcoal.

Fuyana covered her face and said embarrassedly, "It's a dog hole." ”

"Next time, it's more like shyness to cover your eyes together. Tang Qi said.

Being debunked, Fuyana was not a little shy, and pointed to the slap-sized bag behind her back: "Let's team up, you provide food, I promise you to get good grades." ”

"William, let's go. ”

Tang Qi showed no mercy and turned around to leave. Fuyana followed unhurriedly, and Cheng Zhu whispered two words to Tang Qi in her chest, no one could hear them clearly, and then like a kitten who had succeeded in stealing, she looked at Tang Qi with her jaw.

After looking at her silently for a while, Tang Qi finally sighed: "If you are lying to me, when the selection starts, I will throw you into the ice river to feed the fish." ”

"Take her. ”

......

The noise in the square did not last long, and thousands of people followed the knight to the station.

The steam spewed out with a shrill whistle, a train stopped at the station, and the crowd suddenly boiled a little, in previous years, they had gone to the field on foot, but this time they actually took the train. You must know that the train has just entered the southern border, and tickets can only be obtained by nobles and wealthy merchants. Like Tang Qi is a pure minority, and he knows this, so when he saw William's gaffe, he didn't show disdain at all...... Not really.

To his surprise, Lori, the thief, appears calm, as if she is not interested in the train at all.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is, so I can't keep calling you a thief. Tang Qi suddenly asked.

"Eve. ”

Fuyana thought for a moment and said.

"Have you ever been on a train?"

“...... No, but I'm not at all interested in what you've ever sat on. Fuyana sensed Tang Qi's doubts, and secretly said that something was wrong, but she still answered calmly. Tang Qi is full of black lines, this guy is really not likable at all, just because I have been on the train, is it classified as garbage?

Everyone got on the train under the command of the waiter, the carriage is a cabin, each room can sit 6 people, but obviously in the case of the same competitors, it is troublesome to let different teams squeeze together, just get on the train, the train is noisy, if it is not for the guards to maintain order, maybe someone will do it.

Grabbing a back compartment, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down, the whistle sounded, and the train slowly accelerated out of the city.
