"What?" Bai Xiaobai hurriedly got up, "So fast, he hasn't drawn lots in groups yet, and he hasn't divided the competition area, why did he open it!"

"Heavenly Father is above, have you seen it? The fire and rain have fallen, and the martial arts conference has actually opened!"

Giggs strode in, also with an incredulous expression, "How is this possible, I don't have any news at all, even Archbishop Oda Gen didn't notify me of the opening tonight!"

"That must have been Reinhardt's idea, right?"

Miss Nikolai walked in, smiled elegantly and pushed down the gold wire glasses, and said a little helplessly: "This guy is on a whim again!"

Reinhardt, the name of the pope of the day, but after this woman called the plague god by his name, everyone was used to her not giving anyone honorific titles.

"Miss Nikolai!"

Ye Huan called a few team members over to salute, although this mysterious woman made him feel unsure, but the big war is imminent, tactical guidance must be respected, he asked: "No matter how unreasonable this year's martial arts conference is, but the big war has begun, what about your tactical arrangements?"

"It's ready for you!"

Nikolai smiled and led everyone to the carriage outside.

Xixi is assembling some strange things here, there are canvases, strong metal strips, and flamethrowers, and Ye Huan, who is not at the level of science and technology, can't see what this can compose.

"This is your tactical guidance?" Ye Huan frowned.

"Wait a minute, you'll understand what he's doing!"

Nikolai waved his hand and signaled that everyone could go to the gate of He Lie Mountain to attend the opening ceremony, but just after Ye Huan walked out a few steps, she asked softly: "Ye Huan, have you seen Reinhardt?"

"I am a fanatical believer blessed by His Majesty the Pope, of course I have seen it!" Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, the big war was imminent, what did this woman do when she mentioned the Pope?

"And what do you think of Reinhardt?" Nikolai's smile was a little mysterious.

Ye Huan searched in his mind, and in another Ye Huan's memory, the Pope was young, but he was already one of the Nine Mahatma of the Continent, and he spoke softly and did things well, and he was a very majestic Holy See emperor.

It can even be said that the other Ye Huan admires the Pope very much.

But does this have anything to do with the ensuing battle?

"Confused by my question?" Nikolai smiled, "I don't understand, then forget it, I just want to remind you, it's still February, be careful that Reinhardt will give you a little surprise......"

......

Not long after, Ye Huan vaguely understood Miss Nikolai's 'reminder'.

It was more than an hour later, all the contestants gathered in the square outside the gate, looking at the dress, there were more than 3,000 followers of the Heavenly Father Sect alone, plus the teenagers of other forces, and the accompanying family members, subordinates, tactical guidance, logistics and medical personnel, a huge team of two or three hundred thousand people.

A young man dressed in royal robes stood under the gate, wearing a lion-like mask on his face, and in his left hand held a black misty shrine that was supposed to be a statue of the Heavenly Father.

Ye Huan recognized that this was the Pope's figure, and he was about to walk over to salute, but after taking two or three steps tightly, his feet suddenly stopped.

"Brother Huan, why don't you leave?" Lu Xiu said in surprise in the back: "You are a student blessed by His Majesty, according to the etiquette, you should go up and bow and say hello." ”

"Miss Nikolai is really not wrong...... Ye Huan's eyes widened in shock, "Lu Xiu, you have also seen the Pope, right?"

"Of course I did!"

"Then tell me, what color does the Pope's hair have in your impression?" Ye Huan's tone was very hurried.

"This ......" Lu Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Huan, I'm not like you, I once caused a sensation in He Lieshan, and I am not qualified to meet the Pope at close range, this, I really don't know the Pope's hair color!"

"In my impression, the three times we met, the Pope had long blond hair!" Ye Huan narrowed his eyes, "But now...... He's black-haired!"

"Is this Pope fake?" Lu Xiu was shocked.

"That's not right!" Ye Huan shook his head, "You see that behind the Pope, several cardinal archbishops and several elders have appeared, they have been with the Pope for many years, how can they not tell the truth of the Pope?

"Then ......" Lu Xiu could only think of an impossible possibility, "will the Pope still dye his hair!?"

The Pope's next performance was beyond Ye Huan's expectations!

At this time, seeing that everyone had already gathered, the corners of the Pope's mouth behind the mask outlined a cruel sneer, "Everyone, I am Reinhardt, on behalf of the Heavenly Father, welcome you to this year's martial arts conference!"

"Your Majesty Wan'an!" the contestants saluted back, but a few quick-tempered contestants asked: "Your Majesty, is this the opening of the martial arts tournament? Why is there no pre-match draw, no opening ceremony, and besides, we don't know who our opponent in the first round is!"

"You don't need to know!"

The Pope gently kissed the shrine in his hand, with a solemn atmosphere in his elegance, "Because, you have not yet obtained the qualification to participate in the martial arts conference!"

"We're not qualified yet?" exploded in the square.

"Surprised, isn't it?" the Pope sneered, "But you can see for yourself, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand players here, more than four thousand teams, if you want to fight in groups, fight one game a day, and then rest for a few days, when will this be fought? Next year, the year after next, or the second cataclysm?"

"So, I've got you guys in a qualifying tournament!"

As he spoke, the Pope raised the shrine in his hand high, and in an instant, the lights on the gentle slope of the south side of Holie Mountain were extinguished, but the torches were lit on the cliffs of the back mountain, and in the cold wind of early spring, these three cliffs were also condensed with thick ice chips, more than nine thousand meters high, even the most vigorous apes, the best flying goshawks, don't want to go up the mountain from here.

"Now, I'm going to announce the rules of the qualifying tournament!" The Pope didn't give everyone time to reflect, and said coldly: "First, it's six o'clock in the evening, before six o'clock tomorrow morning, you can choose a path from these three ice cliffs, climb to the nine-thousand-meter-high God of War Pavilion, and those who arrive on time will automatically qualify, and the order of arrival will determine your first round of grouping." If you can't make it, sorry, please face the mountain from the south and be a spectator!"

Looking up at the ice cliff more than 9,000 meters high, the faces of the players were a little solemn.

Climbing the cliff is not difficult for the new human beings who have evolved their physical fitness as a whole, and the cliff can be overcome with ice, but the most important thing is that there are no supervisors on this cliff, and more than 20,000 players are climbing on it......

"Are you worried about being attacked while climbing?" the pope laughed even more playfully, "don't worry, because someone will attack you, because ...... The second rule, the core rule of this martial arts conference, is that there are no rules, off-the-field sneak attacks, poisoning on the field, you can do whatever you want, even if you have the ability to assassinate the opponent before the game, then I will sentence you to advance directly, in a word, all for victory!"

"Reinhardt, you're clearly making us kill each other!" one of the players scolded.

"If you want to understand it like this, I can't help it!" the Pope shrugged, "This is the rule this year, if you want to participate, you can do it according to my rules!"

Immediately there was no noise at the bottom of the mountain.

Of course, some left angrily, but they were only a very small minority of the very few.

"Okay, that's all for the rules, oh, there's a little accident, I have to remind you!" the Pope smacked his lips and said regretfully: "Not long ago, a ferocious demon beast suddenly appeared on He Lie Mountain, which has killed hundreds of soldiers and more than twenty masters of the Holy See, and now, this little guy is still wandering in the mountains, if you are unfortunate enough to meet him in the competition......"

Some of the contestants' faces have turned pale!

"Are there any doubts?" the Pope held up a pocket watch, "If not, proofreading time, it's six o'clock in the evening, qualifying...... Go to war!"

So fast?

Many of the players were still immersed in the Pope's bloody rules, and they were stunned until the Pope walked back inside the gate after he finished speaking, and they asked the tactical director and family members blankly, "This is the start of the game?"

"Fool!" The tactical instructors were also not satisfied with the Pope's attitude, but the temptation of the ten artifacts was so great that they didn't have time to think about it, and shouted: "The qualifying tournament is only twelve hours, set off immediately, and anyone who dares to sneak up on you on the cliff will be killed!"

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

In the crowd, watching a team of players rush onto the cliff, Bai Xiaobai timidly asked: "Is this really His Majesty the Pope......?"

Ye Huan was also stunned, today's Pope is completely different from the Emperor of Mercy in his impression, it is simply two people.

"There's no time to be in a daze!"

Seeing that more and more players rushed to the cliff, Ye Huan hurriedly led the team back to Nikolai's side, "Miss Nikolai, the qualification battle has begun, we need you to arrange tactics!"

Nikolai a little Sissi, "Didn't you say it was ready for you?"

It's horrible!

What Xiao Xixi has just assembled is six miniature hot air balloons, sturdy canvas spheres, flamethrowers underneath, and metal guards with strong enough defense at the four corners, and you can see at a glance that with this kind of hot air balloon, you can fly to the top of the mountain in a few hours.

Maybe you can even get the first place!

But the point is, Nikolai started assembling it more than an hour ago, does this woman have inside information, or is her mind really terrifying to such an extent that she suddenly calculates Reinhardt's mentality!?

"I have prepared two ways for you!" Nikolai said softly: "The first method, you have seen, fly directly with a hot air balloon, and arrive at the God of War Pavilion within two hours! However, this is a cowardly behavior, and it will be looked down upon by many players!"

"What about the other way?" Ye Huan narrowed his eyes,

Miss Nikolai took out a deck of playing cards, and a set of tables, on which were placed snacks and drinks, "The second way, sit here, chat, drink tea, play cards, and then set off in six hours!"

"With this method, you only have six hours, and even if you arrive, you will get a very bad grouping order, and there are countless strong enemies on the way!" Nikolai's tone was a little provocative, "However, if you choose this method, you will get the respect of my Nikolai, and I will continue Uzhuo's training and let you make a sensation on the entire continent at the martial arts conference!"

"Two ways, hero, or seed, Ye Huan, I'm waiting for your choice!"
