Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Winner's Medal
After dinner that day, Qiushui happily pulled Lin Lin and Yan Boshu towards the direction of the imperial palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info Imperial Palace is located in the innermost circle of the rain city, next to the most central rain master tower, in a radial shape. There was a parapet wall several meters high on the periphery of the palace, and there were many guards guarding it, but because the order had been issued from above, those guards saw Qiushui and the others swaggering over, so they just stepped forward to make a brief inquiry, and then let them pass.
Located on the southwest side of the Rain Temple, the periphery of the palace complex, the Water Wave Hall is usually used for the convening of various major events and meetings. The canonization conference held here also reflects the importance that Emperor Yu attaches to these players who stood out in the selection competition.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the rectangular and gorgeous palace made of special sea blue materials in front of her. Qiushui looked at the outer wall as if it was made of blisters, and walked forward curiously, stretched out his finger and pressed it, and the blister was concave, and as soon as it was released, it bounced back, and suddenly felt very magical. Relatively speaking, Yan Boshu is much more serious, looking well-informed, looking at Qiushui who is playing with disdain.
"You must be the winners of this selection contest, so please let me show you the way. A black-clothed guard walked over from the side, looked at Qiushui and the others, and said politely. Then, he led the three of them into the Water Wave Temple. I saw that the decoration inside was extremely luxurious, and there were all kinds of precious porcelain on both sides of the aisle, which dazzled Qiushui and others for a while. Passing through a long hallway, and turning a few corners, they came to a place that resembled a conference hall.
"The canonization meeting is being held here, please wait a while, Lord Rain will be here soon. ”
As soon as he entered the hall, Qiushui saw that there were already several people inside, including some old faces. When the Snow Maiden saw Qiushui coming in, she smiled at him and said hello. And the man sitting in the corner snorted coldly and turned his head away. On the contrary, Qiushui took the initiative to step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Shao Yi, we meet again." ”
"You kid is blessed with a great life, and he really survived. Shao Yi raised his eyebrows and said in an arrogant tone. However, Qiu Shui could feel that his hostility towards himself had faded a lot, probably after the battle of the Dark Ancient Forest, he also recognized his strength, but it was only for the sake of face that he behaved like this. However, his two little followers are gone, and it is estimated that they either met Hoshino's killing god, or they failed to survive the ghost and insect plague.
In addition to these two acquaintances, there was also a long-haired man wearing a purple robe and holding a paper folding fan, and a Taoist priest wearing a cyan Taoist robe and holding a dust. The long-haired man was naturally Yun Ze, who almost killed Zhu Jue, and the Taoist priest, with thick eyebrows and a Chinese face, was full of righteousness, but he didn't know which Taoist disciple he was from.
Qiushui stretched his neck and looked out of the hall from time to time, thinking that there were still many people who had not arrived, but after waiting for a long time, no one appeared. Just as he was wondering, suddenly there was a shout from outside the door: "The Rain Emperor has arrived." ”
There was a rush of footsteps, and I saw the members of the escort in blue uniforms entering the hall one after another, walking in orderly steps. Behind them, several ministers slowly walked in with Emperor Yu in their arms.
The six contestants present hurriedly stood up and saluted. Emperor Yu walked to the front of the host and sat down, then looked at them with a smile on his face.
"You may be seated. ”
After the people on the field took their seats one after another, Emperor Yu continued: "This event was originally scheduled to be divided into three stages to select outstanding talents and inject fresh blood into the Rain Country Guard. However, due to our negligence, a huge accident occurred during the selection process, which caused you to be in danger for a while. For this, I would like to express my deep apologies to the players present. After speaking, Emperor Yu stood up and bowed deeply.
"There were 42 contestants in the second round, but when our rescue team arrived, only six survived. After careful thinking and many discussions, I announce that the third link will be waived, and all those present will be directly selected into the escort team, representing the young talents of our rain country, and contributing their own strength to the eradication of the black-clothed organization. ”
Then, a man with a scar stood up, walked up to everyone, and said, "I am the captain of the Rain City Guard, and the chief captain of the Rain Country Guard, Haodong. On behalf of all the members of the Escort Force, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you, and I hope that you will understand the responsibilities on your shoulders and fight with us until you die. His voice had a peculiar persuasiveness, a surging passion, that echoed through the hall for a long time.
"Fight side by side, until you die!" Qiushui shouted excitedly, with some tears in his eyes. At this moment, he finally realized his dream since childhood, and the moment he received the Escort Insignia from Haodong's hand, his hands were trembling. And at this moment, in the pocket of Yan Boshu, an orange bead suddenly flew out, burning with a raging fire, and shot directly towards Yun Ze.
"Zhu Jue, what are you doing!" Seeing this situation, Yan Boshu's face changed, and he wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Yun Ze didn't seem to be good, his face turned cold, and he was about to make a move, but he saw that Emperor Yu's sleeve waved slightly, and a water curtain blocked in front of him. At the same time, the beads hit the curtain of water, like a mud cow entering the sea, without stirring up a wave. Taking advantage of this, Yan Boshu stepped forward and grabbed it, took it back into the bag, and at the same time smiled at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Qiushui has also learned about Zhu Jue's experience in the past few days, and now looking at his reaction, he knows that the person in front of him is Yun Ze, who has made him look like this, and his temper immediately came up, and he was about to rush forward, but as soon as he took a step, Lin Lin pulled his sleeve.
"Qiushui, don't look at what kind of place this is!" Lin Lin reprimanded in a low voice. Qiushui reacted, glanced at the Rain Emperor on the stage and Haodong in front of him, and retreated stupidly. At this time, the guards on the field all stood up and watched them vigilantly, and as long as they made the slightest movement, they would face each other.
"Originally, I heard that there was a contestant whose body was destroyed, but the original spirit was well preserved. At the time, I didn't believe it, but what I saw with my own eyes today is really magical. Emperor Yu smiled and motioned for the people of the escort to sit down, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened. Haodong frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. After awarding the escort badges to several people, he returned to his original position and said something to Chen Min beside him.
"There is also the issue of the Order of the Victors, which is awarded to the person who has performed the most in each selection contest and represents the highest honor. Many famous people have received this honor, and I myself am no exception. Although this event was tortuous, we still decided to award the medal to the Snow Maiden with the most bracelets according to the original rules. ”
"Wait. The Snow Maiden said suddenly. She glanced at Qiushui, then stretched out her hand to him and said lightly: "The reason why I was lucky to survive is because he stepped forward at a critical moment, so I hope to bestow honor on him." ”
Qiushui looked around, and it took a long time to come over and the snow girl pointed to herself, and her jaw was about to fall in shock.
"Are you sure?" the Rain Emperor glanced at Qiushui, and when he saw that the Snow Maiden nodded affirmatively, he didn't say anything more. I saw her personally walk off the stage, come to Qiushui, and hang a silver medal on his chest.
"Congratulations. ”
The next moment, there was a warm applause on the field, Qiushui touched the silver medal on his chest, and tears finally couldn't stop flowing. Then, Li Cheng made a long speech to the six people present, the content of which was nothing more than that the escort team had a huge responsibility and must redouble its efforts, but there was nothing worth saying.
After the canonization meeting was over and the people dispersed, Emperor Yu and Haodong were left in the huge water wave hall.
"What do you think about these people?"
"It's all quite interesting, especially that autumn water, which suits my appetite very much. It's just that the origin of Yun Ze is mysterious, and I can't even find out. There is also the Xuanyuan faction of the Taoist Sect, which has always acted alone, and this time he would let his subordinates participate in the selection competition, which was really a bit unexpected. ”
Emperor Yu nodded, suddenly thought of something, and instructed Haodong: "Send a message to the other three countries in my name, just say that it is time to convene the Imperial Conference." ”
Haodong showed a look of surprise on his face, but he didn't say anything, just said "yes", and then stepped back.
Somewhere in the darkness far away from Rain City.
"Lao Jiu, how did you do it this time, I heard that there are six more people who returned to the rain alive? A deep voice came out, with a hint of irritation.
"Don't worry, I did it on purpose, you just wait to see the show"
"Hmph, you'd better not mess with me. The ancestral dragon nedan has arrived, and now there are not many materials left, and in the near future, the world will be ours. ”
