Chapter 116: The Captain Arrives
Before a small farce was presented, it was strangled in the cradle by Mo Hang's words and deeds.
Master Gale and Jiang Tao haven't seen each other for a few years, so naturally they have endless words. When they saw Jiang Xuewei's dissatisfaction disappear, they began to chat.
Mo Hang and Jiang Xuewei are two juniors who are not easy to interject, and they don't want to stand on the sidelines. So, they talked to each other and got acquainted with each other. Although Mo Hang didn't have the idea of seizing the opportunity, he wouldn't deliberately dodge because of Master Gale's words. Whether it is Jiang Xuewei's appearance or figure, Mo Hang can't have a trace of disgust.
During the conversation, Master Gale told Jiang Tao not to leak the true situation of Mohang, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble. Jiang Tao knew the seriousness of the matter and readily agreed.
Although Mo Hang wants to participate in the forging competition, others can't determine his true age just by looking at his appearance. The end result is just that Mohang is younger and more talented, and that's it.
Since Jiang Tao asked He Xifa about the news of Master Gale, He Xifa arranged his and Jiang Xuewei's accommodation to this inn very kindly.
In the next few days, the four of them lived in that inn, which was relatively more lively than only the two masters and apprentices of Mohang.
In this way, Mo Hang and Jiang Xuewei gradually became familiar. In their weekday conversations, Master Gale and Jiang Tao always joke about Mo Hang and Jiang Xuewei. made the two juniors awkwardly avoid and dodge from afar.
A few days passed quickly, and the blacksmiths who were supposed to participate in the tournament were almost all here, and the forging tournament was about to begin.
On the day the Forge officially began, Vitesse City was even more lively. People rushed to the square where the tournament was to be held, and the town was boiling.
The square was already crowded with people, not only the residents of the city, but also blacksmiths from all over the country and tourists who came to watch the game.
The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the people are excited. Everyone is looking forward to this blacksmith competition.
At some point, cheers rang out from the square. Following everyone's gaze, I saw a figure flying in the sky. The figure flew fast, and in a few breaths, it slid across the square and landed on a high platform.
The cheers became louder, and everyone looked at the high platform, and some even raised their hands and kept waving.
The figure stood on a high platform, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was a well-dressed middle-aged man. The man stopped at the crowd in the square, and the cheers gradually diminished and soon disappeared.
"Thank you all for coming. A loud and majestic voice came from the high platform and spread to every corner of the square.
The square was silent, and there was no noise. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the middle-aged man on the high platform.
"Maybe your friends who have come from afar don't know me yet. I'm the steward of Vites City, Dragon. ”
As soon as these words came out, those who did not know the man understood that he was the lord of the town.
"First of all, I'm here to say 'I'm sorry' to the blacksmiths who came to participate in the competition. In the past few days, there has been a delay in the next place, and I really can't get out. I have not met with you until now, so please forgive me. ”
"The lord of the castle is serious. ”
"It's an honor for us to come forward with the Lord of the Castle. ”
"Lord Castle, your hospitality has been very considerate. ”
......
Many blacksmiths said one after another.
"Thank you for your understanding. You are all here to participate in the Forge Competition, and I wish you the best and the best results. ”
Applause rang out in the square to show respect for the city lord Long Teng.
With a smile on his face, Long Teng stopped again, the applause dispersed, and the square fell silent. He said gently: "Then, we will not hesitate any longer, the audience is afraid that they are already impatient." Dear excellent forges, take your place. ”
The gentle voice with supreme majesty reached the ears of everyone in the square, and this was the embodiment of strength. You don't need to raise your voice to achieve the desired effect.
Now that the lord had spoken, the spectators in the square quickly retreated away from the area designated as a competition venue. They left that area for the forgers who were going to have a game and show off their glory.
Then, He Xifa, who received the blacksmith at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, walked to the center of the square, held a few pages in his hand, and began to read out aloud the rules of the forging competition.
In this competition, the city lord Long Teng and the patriarchs of several major families served as the chief referees, and several deputy referees were also arranged in the competition area, who played the role of nearby supervision.
The competition is divided into three levels, juvenile, middle-aged and elderly. Although there will be a large age gap between the contestants at each level, there is no way. It is impossible to divide the competition of similar ages together, which is too cumbersome and loses the meaning of the competition.
The rules of the tournament are to forge alone within the specified time. You can forge any level and any quality of Orb, but only two chances are given, which is a test of the success rate of forging Orbs. Moreover, the time for the game is almost enough to forge twice, and one failure is allowed.
In addition, it is the evaluation of the results. First of all, compare the level of the Orb that has been successfully forged within the specified time, then the quality of the Orb of the same level, and then the number of times and time it takes to complete the Orb. The various steps of the assessment are clearly defined and no one can be fooled at that time.
In the area of the competition, each blacksmith has a small private space, which is where they forge the orb. In addition, the blacksmiths stand in a higher position than the spectators, making it easier for the spectators to watch the game.
After reading out the rules of the game very skillfully, he left the competition area. Then, the forgers arrived at their respective competition venues, the referees were in place on the high platform, and the deputy referees in the competition area were in place, and the competition was about to start, and the audience burst into warm applause.
Just as the city lord Long Teng was about to announce the official start of the competition, unexpectedly, several figures in the distance flew rapidly in the direction of the square, and finally suspended in the sky above the square.
It was a few middle-aged men dressed in black and wearing black hats, with sturdy bodies. They each wore a large knife around their waists, and they both wore a golden badge engraved with the word "Wei" on their left chest.
Their arrival attracted the attention of everyone in the square, because of them, the upcoming start of the Smith Tournament was postponed.
One of them removed the hat from his head, revealing a bloodthirsty face. He said to the person next to him: "I didn't expect to encounter such a lively thing on this mission, we still have time, stop and take a look at the excitement." ”
He was ostensibly speaking to others, but his voice was loud enough to envelop the entire square.
"Well, it's good to see the excitement. The man next to him replied.
At this time, the city lord Long Teng flew out from the high platform and came to a few people, with a kind face and a little respectful said: "It turned out to be a few court captains, forgive Long for being rude and losing his welcome." ”
"It's fine. "A swaggering look.
