Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Rumors Are Shattered
A week later, news of the change in the rules of the celebration selection spread throughout Winterfell with the return of the renunciers.
Donch's house.
Today, the porridge shop is not open, and her mother Vanessa is sitting in the living room, holding the letter sent back by Tang Qi and reading it again and again, the thin letter paper is about to be crumpled, her face is difficult to hide her sadness, and her mouth keeps muttering something.
"Didn't the letter say that there was no danger, and my brother would be fine. ”
Louise couldn't bear to see her mother worried, so she comforted.
"Hmm. The mother put her arms around Louise, her face was better, and she complained that the nobles had suddenly changed the rules. Sitting next to her mother, the corner of her eye flashed over the letter, Louise looked complicated, and subconsciously touched the beautiful shell hairpin on her hair......
Stuffed hotel.
There was snow outside the door, and to send off a cook from a town near Winterfell, Lily looked out the window at the snow, stunned, and said to herself:
"The vinegar sells very well, it will definitely make enough money, you don't have to worry, I hope you can all come back safely." ”
The change in the selection of the grand ceremony has touched the hearts of many people.
......
Gravel Plains.
In the conference hall on the top floor of the municipal building, seven nobles sit at a round table, and the conference hall is surrounded by windows on all sides, allowing you to look around the town from the inside. Looking at the front of the town, a team of people dragged a winter wolf into the town, and then the crowd guarding the door surrounded them, buying the materials on the winter wolf, and after a while, the winter wolf was scraped by everyone.
By a week, the town had established a proper order.
"Yes, the selection time was too short in the past, and we did miss out on a lot of talents, but now it seems that many people are very talented in other aspects, although their strength is average. A middle-aged man with a beard haha.
"Well, the score of the score list is also good, the task score has been depressed several times, but there are almost people reaching 100 points. Another nobleman tasted tea elegantly, and he had a score record in his hand.
"Now the first is Hertis, 98 points, I've seen the record, I just came and hunted the Thunderbirds, and the strength is very strong. Wang Du's title on the first day is not exaggerated, and it is very charismatic, and the four people around him are all talented, which is the most important point. The white-haired old man sighed: "It's a pity, why don't we have such a genius in the south." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said dissatisfiedly:
"Who said no, have you forgotten the eldest lady of the Winter family, I remember that the eldest lady broke through the Source Palace at his age, and one person lifted a sword, and beheaded 3 Source Palace evil beasts in front of the city wall, Hetis is still far behind. ”
The following suddenly laughed.
"In addition to Hetties, Natalie's little girl is also doing well, she has organized a team of 300 people, and she sweeps the neighborhood every day, and the rangers say that they have been idle lately. ”
"However, Hertith and Natalie are both nobles, and I wonder why they are participating in this selection?" said the bearded man.
The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone shook their heads.
"It's a matter of the top, so let's not think too much about it. Speaking of the score list, there is a guy named Valen who is so surprising that he is the only one in the top 10 who is not a nobleman, and seems to be a mouse in the dark street. A young nobleman said.
"He's got a solid foundation and he's got a lot of talent, but he's too old. "Some people regret it.
"Speaking of which, there's also a group of people who are interesting, two men leading a child. The bearded man said suddenly.
"What's the fun of a squad that relies on random tasks, and sensationalism. The crowd shook their heads.
Cotton touched his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that you have all been deceived by them, yesterday I went to the canyon where the Moonlight Rose is planted, and found that the Moonlight Rose is gone!"
"Could it have been picked up by an adventurer?" someone frowned.
"I also had this suspicion at the time, so I went to the other two search sites to take a look, and it turned out that the cat's eye grass and the luminous insect were gone, and these three items were exactly the ...... they needed for the mission."
"How is it possible, I have seen them, in the middle of the three source qi accumulations, one of them still forcibly broke through with medicine, it must be a coincidence. Someone asserts.
"Oh, Effie, you're working against me again, and in that case, bet with me that they will not be able to complete these three tasks. Cotton raised an eyebrow: "Bet on the sword you bought last time." ”
Effie's face was gloomy, and Sen Sen smiled, "No problem, you are so old that you can't even tell the difference between a genius and a clown." ”
Cotton snorted, looked at the scores of the three Tang Qi on the score list, and secretly said Don't let me down.
......
The wilderness is dangerous, and Gravel Town is always occupied during the day.
Under the score list, there are always people staring at the score changes.
"Herdes is really good, he can break 100 points today, it would be nice to be in his team. Someone sighed.
"Don't dream, the lowest ranking in the team is 8th, and it is still possible for Miss Natalie's team, it is said that everyone is guaranteed to reach 100 points in the end, and Miss Natalie is still second in the score. ”
"Forget it, I can't stand any rules. ”
There were many conversations like this, and the pressure of the gravel plains made it necessary to mediate in this way, and in fact, while there were no deaths in a week, injuries and attacks abounded, and under the heavy pressure, nearly 200 people gave up and took the train back to Winterfell.
The sun was slowly setting, the town was about to close, and everyone had to get out of town.
Before leaving, someone pointed to the bottom of the score list.
"Look, it's still 0 points today, I haven't seen them for a long time, you say it will be eaten by evil beasts. At the bottom of the list are the names of the three Tang Qi, and the scores are all zero.
"Don't talk nonsense, yesterday I met that guy named William, who borrowed two sets of mining equipment and a few violet berries in the logistics. ”
"No, you're saying that the two of them are mining and one is growing violet fruit? ”
"No wonder I haven't seen them recently, I guess they are hiding from mining and growing vegetables, waiting to surprise us...... Oh, I almost forgot, they will deduct 150 points for failing three missions, and I don't know if they can pay it off in January. ”
His words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and at the end of the crowd, a sneer rolled into the corner of Martha's mouth in blue leather armor. This matter is spread like this, naturally she is behind the trouble, rumors are like wheels, as long as they are gently pushed, the momentum is difficult to contain.
That's what happens when you offend me.
The waiter who replaced the last list of the day came, Martha turned around with a haughty smile, and planned to leave with the things prepared for Miss, there is no need to look at the list, Miss Natalie will break through 100 points, and the three of them will get 1 or 2 points at most by mining, or last.
However, at this moment, an exclamation came:
"Oh my God, did they get the job done?!"
Martha subconsciously turned her head and saw that the last three names on the list were impressively ranked at the top, and her face instantly froze with arrogance......
