Chapter 41 Take off your mask
Life is like this, and the reason why a blow is called a blow is not only because the force is so heavy that it is almost deadly, but also because it always comes suddenly when people are undefended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shiloh thought his ears must have misheard.
"You...... You say...... What?" he asked again, and then suddenly burst into laughter, "Three, this joke is not funny at all!"
The master blacksmith at the head seemed to sigh and said slowly, "Lord Shiloh, you heard it right, the result of this competition is what we just announced. β
There was silence.
Shiloh suddenly walked straight towards Caesar, and the faces of the three master blacksmiths changed slightly, and they became nervous, thinking that he was going to do something out of the ordinary because he couldn't accept this result because he was too emotional.
Caesar just stood quietly, not even blinking.
He saw Shiloh stride up to him, pick up the work in front of him, and examine it carefully.
Caesar watched quietly as Shiloh looked at his work.
And the guests in the audience were also looking at Shiloh, not because they didn't trust the three senior blacksmiths on Earth Street, but because the reversal of the result was too fast and too sudden.
Shiloh wants to personally verify the quality of Caesar's works, and with his status and strength as a divine craftsman, he will naturally not look away anymore.
As the minutes passed, people saw Shiloh's face change one after another, from anger, to surprise, to shock, to puzzlement, and finally to a trace of confusion.
Shiloh didn't say anything, and slowly put the work down, but his expression and reaction spoke for it all - this competition was really over, and Yi's work was really more than twice as much as he said, and the gap was so real that Shiloh himself had nothing to say.
But how is this possible?
Isn't that piece of material being shattered?
The three blacksmith masters said that Shiloh's work was already quasi-first-class, and this master Yi's work was more than twice as good, perhaps it had reached the real first-class level?
At this time, someone suddenly asked, "Has anyone seen the final process of the work?"
The person who questioned him was one of the school officers sent by the military department.
Several school officials next to him said with strange faces: "You are the most observant among us, you haven't seen it, and neither have we...... Cassadine, what about you?"
Cassadine's still somewhat pale face was filled with shock and bewilderment.
"I didn't notice either. He stared at Caesar in the audience and whispered, "But what is certain is that this Master Yi is not a second person who has never seen the world at all, he ...... It's not easy. β
There are some complicated things in people's hearts.
No one thought that the guy who fell in embarrassment as soon as he entered before, and then all kinds of guys who had no sense of existence, after uttering wild words, really made the wild words come true!
Elaine stood between the people in the military headquarters, and her reaction was much calmer than the others, and she just said in a low voice with indescribable complex emotions: "Fortunately, such a person is on our side......"
Moffett was standing in the crowd at this time, equally surprised and at the same time a little happy.
He looked at Caesar and thought to himself that it was really a real person who did not show his face, who would have thought that this rare public competition between divine craftsmen would divide the outcome with such a huge disparity.
Not far away, Jace's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Moffett, where is Moffett?"
Moffett was stunned, then walked out.
I saw Jace staring deeply at Moffett and said, "You are the head of the masked blacksmith this time, please go and see again, really...... Is it more than twice as much?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three master blacksmiths in charge of the inspection changed.
Jace has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and he can no longer care about the most basic etiquette and shame, and his words are clearly hinting at Moffett to let Moffett overturn the unanimous decision of the three master blacksmiths, which has been tacitly acquiesced by Shiloh himself!
"This ...... No...... Not very well......" Moffett stood still.
Jace's face was flushed with blood, and his throat rolled as if he was about to yell something.
But at this moment, a palm pressed against him, and Bolin's voice rang out: "Okay, old Jace, calm down." β
Jace shook all over, as if realizing his gaffe and the futility of such an act.
His lips moved a few times, and finally slowly pulled out a wry smile, his eyes turned to Caesar in the field, and said, "Master Yi, you are really a good means!"
The agreement before the competition was that if Caesar could beat Shiloh more than twice, then his right to speak would surpass Shiloh and catch up with Nami, who had the strongest voice in the audience.
Therefore, when Jace said this sentence, which was actually a surrender, it meant that he was in the same vein as the Earth Street he represented, admitting that he had lost.
And that's the result.
There was no uproar, no discussion, and the guests remained quiet.
A pair of complicated eyes with different meanings all fell on the master Yi in the middle of the room, who was wearing a gray blacksmith's robe and wearing a mask.
Nono was also looking at Caesar.
"I owe you a favor, Caesar. The girl thought silently in her heart, and a faint smile appeared on Nami's face, which had no smile since she appeared, that the girl herself was not aware of.
Yes, Nono recognized Caesar.
It's not like Long Qiqi who heard Caesar's conversation with Russell by chance and saw through Caesar's identity, and it's not like Hughes who recognized Caesar because he saw the little dragon.
Nono recognized Caesar only because when she saw Yi up close, she smelled Caesar's scentβthe smell of dragons that was so strong in Nono's feelings that it could not be concealed!
Nuno didn't expect to see Caesar again when he came to Phoenix City on this trip, and he didn't expect that when they met again, the other party would actually turn into such a great craftsman.
The guests who had been invited to the side room were invited back to the scene.
Wen Yuan's exclamations and angry scoldings rang out in disbelief, and he was quickly suppressed again.
The pit father returned to his mother, hesitated slightly, and finally asked in a low voice: "That Master Yi...... It's true...... Win Shilo?"
Elaine smiled and said, "Yes, that Master Yi is really an amazing person. β
Hongyi pulled Wen Jing and thought for a long time, and finally only said in a daze: "Really...... Won......" Then I don't know what to say.
Hughes stood calmly in the crowd, staring at the slightly tired dragon on Caesar's shoulder.
At this point, the matter is basically over.
The old woman came to the stage with Wen Jing's hand, and called Elaine and the pit father, everyone in the military department, and Caesar.
It's late at night.
The lighting at the banquet site was unprecedentedly brilliant.
Caesar stood in the light, calm and contented. It's not because he defeated Shiloh...... Well, in fact, it's really cool to see Shiloh's face at this time. But more importantly, he has mastered the power of himself and helped his friends, Nuno and the pit father.
"I'm still not very interested in the old guy, but ...... I really want to thank him. Caesar thought to himself.
The eyes of the audience fell on the victor's side on the stage, waiting for the final result that had been decided, from the mouth of the victor, to be announced.
"Everyone. The old woman's old wrinkled face also showed a smile that was finally relaxed, looked at the full audience, and said, "I believe that at this point, there is no objection, the future heir of our Earth Street is the founder and the child of Mrs. Elaine - Xu Keng's father." β
Finally spoke up.
The old woman said this to herself.
That's what it feels like when the dust settles.
She couldn't help but glance at Master Yi who was still wearing a mask - still so nonexistent, so inconspicuous, just like before the competition.
But now, who else dares to look down on this anonymous craftsman who still doesn't know where he came from!
The applause rang out and lasted for a long time.
Someone involuntarily glanced at Her Royal Highness Nami, who had been standing there silently, thinking that this eldest princess of the forest clan was indeed a person, and she was willing to lose the bet.
But at this moment, Nami suddenly moved, and she also walked to the stage. This move immediately made many people's faces change and become nervous. The applause also weakened a lot.
Nami just smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Don't be nervous, I don't have any objections." Congratulations, this boy with a special name. β
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Keng's father.
The pit father was stared at by the eldest princess, and his face was slightly red, but this guy who gave the impression of being honest in ordinary life actually calmed down quickly, and returned a slightly stiff but very serious salute, saying, "Thank you." β
The old woman smiled and said, "Since Her Highness Nami has no objections, then it is best to hope that Earth Street and the Forest Clan will continue to maintain friendly relations in the future." β
Nami nodded and said, "This is natural. β
She took two steps forward and said, "Can I stand with you?" Of course, this does not mean that my position has changed, but after all, we all have a common enemy, and even if we disagree on certain issues, we are still companions, right?"
"It's great if you think so, please come here. Also, Jace, Wenyuan, Shiloh Craftsman, and Mr. Borynn, will you also stand up together?"
The atmosphere was nice and really nice.
Nami's words made the atmosphere at the scene a little warmer, yes, after all, everyone is a companion and has a common enemy, that is, the battle mage of the north!
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was only about half a year left for the opening of the Dragon Dao, and there would be a fierce contest with the Northern Kingdom at that time, there would not be such a huge internal demand for unifying forces on the side of the empire, and there would not be this banquet of great significance.
But Caesar suddenly became nervous.
An inexplicable pressure suddenly came, and then, without saying anything, he firmly grasped his body, his heart, and even his soul.
The little dragon's exclamation rang in his ears, full of panic and anger.
Then Caesar's face appeared in front of his eyes.
Nami still has the polite and polite smile on her face from the previous moment, but her eyes are as cold as frost, Nami at this moment is still like a fox, but she is a domineering fox king who cannot be resisted!
"Take off your mask. She looked at Caesar and said indifferently. The slender fingers were as fast as lightning, and they had already pinched the mask on Caesar's face!
