Chapter 171: Drawing lots
At the beginning of the first day of the magic competition, the magicians and dignitaries of various countries gathered in the auditorium early in the morning, but the dignitaries here did not have a president, after all, the presidents and prime ministers controlled the first world, but as the most powerful heads of state, they were allowed to know some mysterious things in the second world, and he only heard that when the finals, those top leaders would come to watch.
It's not so much a magic competition, it's more like a beauty contest, most of these young magicians are beautiful and handsome guys, which makes Yang Bing, a non-handsome guy, embarrassed, but the magicians who come are not only young handsome guys and beauties, but also gray-haired old men, such as the British Fram and the Italian Caesar, every time they attend the magic competition as the final referee, and they don't even look at the messy magicians in the peripheral competition"
Yang Bing glanced at the phalanx where Italy was located with a little hatred, to be exact, it was more Caesar and Nia, at least Ston and Sander were not bad to him, and finally saw the whole picture of all the magicians in this magical country at one time, in addition to those amazing old guys who cultivated and Niya Yang Jiangqi who Yang Bing knew, there were also many young faces, and the number reached more than ten.
In addition to Fram, there are also a few old guys in the British magicians here, Yang Bing doesn't know them, the main force that sealed him last time was mainly Italy, the old magicians in Britain are fewer than Italy, but there are more young faces than Italy, his gaze stayed on Zhuge Yun for a few seconds, this handsome guy with a handsome face, his face is still that handsome guy with a polite quality, and anyone who doesn't know him will be deceived by his false appearance.
Britain and Italy use the words of martial arts novels to describe that the wizarding world is well-deserved Taishan Beidou, this status is unshakable no matter what, and Yang Bing of other countries don't look at it, except for Germany, which has four magicians, and the other countries are almost all in groups of threes and twos. If it weren't for Yang Bing on the Danish side to make up the numbers, it would be a shadow, not to mention Iceland as the host, there would be no shadow of Root and Sophie at all, it seems that this Iceland can only silently bear the oolong of being the host but there are no players.
The number of magicians is really scarce and pitiful. There are only a few hundred magicians in all European countries combined, and after removing the old guys who are over your age limit, there are about sixty magicians left who are qualified for the competition.
In the center of the auditorium is a large cardboard box with the names of all the participating magicians, somewhat similar to the draw for the World Cup, except that the draw is not presided over by some beautiful and handsome hosts, but by two respected veterans, Fram and Caesar.
There are also big drawbacks to this way of drawing, for example, there are so many English and Italian magicians that it is very likely that they will meet their own people in the qualifiers. This has happened quite a few times in the past, but the usual solution is for the weaker party in their internal arrangements to abstain.
Some people are obviously very strong, but when they meet a magician who is stronger than themselves or on their side, then they can only obediently flash away. The magic tournament has adopted a knockout system, as long as you lose a game, it is equivalent to losing everything, and there will be no chance to play again, unless you wait another four years, of course, there are also those who are particularly lucky, and they are all weak people in a row. In the past, there was a magician who was only the second year of junior high school who had an upset, and he was not eliminated in the preliminary round with such weak strength, and met a bunch of opponents who were worse than him in a row, and finally reached the finals, although he did not win the championship, but he also got valuable prizes. This matter has always been talked about in the mouths of magicians.
As Fram and Caesar walked to the central lottery box, the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet, and everyone became dumb for a moment, so silent that even a pin could be heard falling on the ground, and the fate of the participating magicians was in the hands of the two of them.
Everyone present held their breath. Their eyes were all focused on the two veterans, of course, Yang Bing, who was disqualified, was not interested in looking at the two gray-haired old men, his eyes scanned the audience, and finally the German team caught his attention.
I was attracted by Italy and England just now and didn't notice them, one of them Crow Yang Bing knew, the other three didn't know, but last time in Germany, the pigeon fake Crow once mentioned the names of the three of them Roclay and Daisy, rock (rock) means stone, it looks like he should be forty years old, just like his name, this powerful earth magician has no expression, like a rock.
Rain means rain, an ordinary-looking man, who looks about twenty years old, but in fact Europeans look mature, so Rain's real age should be ten years, and you don't need to look at it to know that he is a water magician.
The last one is naturally Daisy death, which is translated by Yang Bing himself, maybe this translation is not correct, the meaning of death is transliterated into such a beautiful woman's name, different from others, she has gray-brown hair and gray eyes, I have to say that she is a beauty, but, it is definitely not that amazing type, her beauty can only be reflected after a period of careful viewing, from the name, there is no way to judge her magic attributes, Yang Bing's sharp eyes pierced the other party's gray eyes, soon, He understood why she was called death, there were bursts of lightning and thunder in the depths of her soul, Yang Bing was shocked, seeing that this girl was only twenty years old, and she was able to cultivate the most difficult thunder magic to such a point, definitely above the level of the first year of high school.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his gaze broke away from the German team and returned to the British phalanx, this time he did not look at Zhuge Yun's ugly face, but looked for another yellow-skinned and black-haired face, and his eyes swept but he did not find her.
"Ace, what do you seem to be looking for?" Yang Bing's every move fell in Lan Ling's eyes.
"Wendy, she's just as disqualified as I am?" Yang Bing felt incredible about Liang Peishi's absence, Liang Peishi is a powerful magician, with her ability, not to mention winning the championship, it should not be a problem to enter the finals.
"I don't think you need to look for it, I heard from my wife that Wendy's sister's teacher, Lady Green, did not allow her to compete, and besides, many young magicians from England and Italy have come here, and like you, they are just spectators, and do not participate in the competition. ”
"Hmph" Yang Bing sneered, "Italy and Britain are acting correctly, they can't expose their strength too much, if all their real strength is known by others, then it is not a good thing for them." ”
During this time, Yang Bing was fighting endlessly, and he was in a state of ignorance about a lot of information about the magic competition, according to what Lan Ling said, there were actually only forty contestants.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the magicians of the younger generation. Caesar spoke, he was wearing a red clergyman's dress today, don't underestimate this dress, the cross on his chest represents his absolute authority, the cardinal who has supreme power in the Holy See.
The exuberance of Italian magic is closely related to a small country, that is, the Vatican, a country within a country, speaking of the Vatican, most Chinese will be very disgusted, due to some complex historical reasons, the relationship between the Vatican and China has always been cold.
Another reason why the Vatican is famous in the world is the size of the country, the Vatican's religious reputation is inversely proportional to the area, in fact, this small country with rich magic information in the second world in Europe has an influence comparable to the United States in the first time, Italy because of the proximity to the water.
Caesar himself was a very good friend of the Pope in private, and in order to show his closeness to the Vatican, all Italian magicians were baptized by Catholicism to show respect for the Vatican Holy See. :。
