Chapter 10: The Audience
Time flies, time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the Grells Survival Race has come to an end.
On this day, seven Holy Magisters of different attributes, including Dean Salneo, gathered in the sky above the Gray Plains again, and with a wave of their robes, one after another pure magic power was swayed on the light curtain that enveloped the entire Gray Plains. The light curtain broke open a hole in the dome, and then the hole gradually expanded, as if an unknown energy was eroding the light curtain.
All the surviving contestants in the Plains of Grells looked up at the sky, and a hole in the original colorful sky broke open, revealing a long-lost blue sky. At the same time, a stream of colorful light fell from the sky, enveloping these uneliminated contestants, teleporting them out of this area with variable terrain.
An extremely thick pillar of light also descended from the sky and enveloped the three Dicks. After a whirlwind, the three Dick found that they had all been teleported to the edge of the Gray Plains, where the other non-eliminated contestants had been teleported to the place where they had signed up for the race.
Dick turned and looked around, and there were thousands of people who had signed up for the competition, but now fewer than 100 people had not been eliminated.
"Dick, I'm going back to the Theseus Empire in a moment, and I once again invite you to join us as a prince of the Empire. McFarlane looked at Dick and said, his tone not without sadness.
Sure enough, Dick's answer was not as he expected: "I still say the same thing, unless the Xiusi Empire is willing to send troops to the Faun Empire for me, I will not change my mind, my friend, I understand your kindness." β
Dick turned to Landas again, "Please consider my suggestion, my realm is always open to elves. β
Landas smiled and said, "I'll report to the Elders, and personally, I would love to see our tribe move to your territory. β
At this moment, the voice of Dean Sarneo was heard in the air, which had been transformed by amplification magic: "Young people from all countries, you have proved your strength with your strength! You who can stand here are all survivors of the survival race, leaders of all countries, and the hope of the human race! The future of the human race is on your shoulders!"
"Now, I'm going to announce your results. β
"First place: Dick Hill of the Miro Empire, 20,092 points!"
"Second place: Golder Sara of the Miro Empire, 15,303 points!"
"Third place: McFarlane Hughes of the Theseus Empire, 14,742 points!"
"Fourth place: Landath Streamer, an elven boy from the Streamer Elf Tribe, with 14,554 points!"
......
"Make no mistake, even the runner-up is not mine. McFarlane grumbled dissatisfied.
Because Elizabeth was defeated by Dick alone, and at that time McFarlane and Landas had lost their combat effectiveness, so the points of all three went to Dick, so the difference between Dick and McFarlane was so large.
"Be content, you're still above me" Faced with McFarlane's complaints, Landas shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Dean Salneo had already read out everyone's rankings: "Young people, the above are your points and rankings, and now I declare this year's Grells Survival Tournament officially over!"
As these words fell, the seven Holy Magisters flew to their respective national camps, and Dean Salneo flew to Dick and them.
"Oh, my boy, I am amazed by what you have achieved, you are the pride of our house!" Dean Sarneo's face was flushed, every wrinkle on his face was stretched, he looked more than ten years younger, and his gray beard trembled slightly with excitement.
"Thank you, Lord Dean, for complimenting me, I was able to win the survival match, thanks to my friends. Dick said and stepped out of the way, revealing McFarlane and Landas behind him.
"Oh, I see, you are all excellent children, and you are the future of our human race!" Dean Salneo said with a smile.
At this time, a court envoy wearing a tuxedo came from a distance, and he went straight to Dick and the others, and first saluted Sarneo: "Hello, respected Holy Magister. β
Salneo smiled back: "Hello, what are you here for?" β
"Oh, yes. The palace envoy explained, "It was Emperor Bixia who wanted to summon the two young leaders of our Miro Empire who had won the championship and runner-up in the survival competition. β
"I see, Dick, if you don't have anything else to do, go with this lord to meet Bixia. Salneo said to Dick.
Dick turned to McFarlane and Landas, "Zaijian, my friends, I hope our zaijian days aren't too far away." Dick felt like something was choking in his throat.
At this time, the relevant personnel of the Theseus Empire also arrived, and their task was to escort McFarlane back to the Theseus Empire.
McFarlane wants to go back to the Theseus Empire, and Landas wants to return to his elven tribe, and from then on, the three friends are on different sides, and they don't know when they will be able to zaijian.
"Zaijian, my friend. β
βzaijianγ β
The three of them said goodbye, and Dick walked forward after the court messenger. The two of them came all the way to a teleportation array.
"Where does this teleportation array lead?" Dick asked.
"This is the teleportation array that leads to the Imperial capital of Millrock. The palace envoy replied respectfully, the winners of the survival competition have always been valued and recruited by the monarchs of various countries, and in the face of this future big man, the palace envoy naturally did not dare to slack off.
Hearing the palace envoy's answer, Dick stepped on the teleportation magic array with confidence. A faint blue light flashed, and Dick's figure in the pillar of light blurred for a while. The next moment, Dick was in a strange place.
Stepping out of the magic teleportation array under his feet, Dick glanced around, it was a rather large room, but there were not too many furnishings in the room, only a teleportation magic circle was etched in the center of the room.
At this time, another palace envoy greeted him, and he asked respectfully, "Is it Lord Viscount Dick?"
"Yes. Dick said lightly.
"Please come with me. The messenger became more respectful when he received an affirmative answer, and he led the way first, and Dick followed him out of the large room. Outside, there is a noisy and bustling street, the street is ten meters wide, and can accommodate three or four horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the street is lined with shops and pedestrians. There are all kinds of vendors on the side of the street, and there are guys at the door of the shops soliciting customers. Just looking at this street, you can see the prosperity of the capital city of Millrock.
Near the doorway, a richly decorated carriage was parked, and two tall horses pulling the cart were boredomically flapping their hooves.
"Your Excellency, please get on the bus. The palace envoy bent down slightly, stretched his right arm forward, and made a "please" motion.
Dick got into the carriage and into the carriage. At this time, he noticed that there was already a person sitting in the carriage. This is a young man in his twenties, his attraction is not limited to the long purple hair of his shawl, his handsome and resolute face and lilac eyes, but the arrogance and confidence in his eyes also make him different, and in his gaze, it seems that there is nothing difficult in this world.
Dick sat down across from the purple-haired man, who was looking at the man in front of him as well.
"Dick Hill?" the purple-haired man asked.
"Yes, is your Excellency Gold?" Dick replied to the other man's question, and asked the other as well.
The purple-haired man nodded, then stopped talking. At this time, the carriage began to move slowly, and it was obvious that the palace envoy was driving the carriage towards the palace.
The two people in the carriage were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, so Dick asked casually: "Why don't Weishenme directly set up the teleportation magic array in the palace?
"This is supposed to be for the safety of Emperor Bixia, and all those who enter the palace must be checked by the guards at the gate. Gold said.
Gold looked at Dick a few more times, and suddenly said, "You are the number one in this competition?"
Dick nodded, "Is there something wrong?"
"Your rank is too low. Gold said mercilessly.
"I have the help of my buddies. Dick smiled.
"But I've heard that you alone defeated Elizabeth, and that woman is not easy to deal with. Gold said again.
"What the hell do you want to say?"
Gold said lightly: "I've never liked to live under people, and I want to prove that I'm the first person of the younger generation in the Miro Empire, so ...... I challenge you!"
"What if I win, what if I lose?" Dick was intrigued, and to be honest, he had always wanted to prove what level of strength he was among the younger generation on the mainland. But unfortunately, it was the trio who defeated Ron, and Elizabeth relied on Liliang who borrowed Dimihera. He had never been able to determine the gap between his strength and the strongest of these younger generations.
"If I win, you have to publicly declare to the whole continent that I am the first person of the younger generation in the mainland, and if I lose, whatever you want. "Gold cut the railroad.
Dick's heart moved, and he said, "As you know, I am a viscount, and there is a shortage of talent in my territory, if you lose, are you willing to come to my territory and serve me for a year?"
"No problem. Gold said lightly.
Dick was holding back to keep himself from laughing, this deal was definitely earned by himself, what "the first person of the younger generation" is nothing to Dick, even if it is given to the other party, it doesn't matter, but if he wins this duel, it is equivalent to recruiting a fierce general for the Demon Hunter Knights. Although it is said that the deadline is only one year, when the time comes, he will know his feelings, move with reason, and lure him to benefit, are you still afraid that he will not be able to keep him?
While we were talking, the carriage had arrived in front of the palace. The respectful voice of the palace envoy came from outside the carriage: "Two lords, please get off the train." Dick and Gold got off the carriage one after another, and Dick was the first time he came to the center of power in the Miro Empire.
The majestic and resplendent palace is like an ancient beast in golden armor crawling in the center of Millrock City. The faΓ§ade of the palace is tall and thick, painted in dark gold. In front of Dick and the others was a vermilion gate, outside which were guarded by two columns of palace guards in gold armor. They held golden halberds in their hands and crossed guards in front of the gates of the palace. Looking through the open door, you can see snow-white stone steps, winding corridors, exquisite and elegant garden meadows, and golden palace buildings.
I saw the palace envoy step forward and whisper a few words to a palace guard, and then the palace guards at the gate let go of the crossed halberds and gave everyone space to pass.
The court envoy led the way, Dick and Gold followed him, and the crowd walked through the floors of buildings, through the twists and turns of the carved balustrades, and finally came to the main hall of the palace.
The two of them followed the palace envoy up the white stone steps to the door of the main hall, which was open, and the three of them walked straight in.
The Great Hall was the place where the emperor and his ministers discussed state affairs. In the main hall, it is extravagant and splendid, with carved balustrades and painted buildings, the dome is painted with gold and painted with the pattern of the flying dragon, and the four walls are carved with reliefs in praise of the god of war, Telancius.
At the very front of the main hall, on the throne high above, sat the supreme ruler of the Miro Empire, Emperor Edward VII. On the right side of the throne, there stood a civil servant in court clothes, and on the left was a military general in armor.
Everyone in the hall looked at the three people who walked into the main hall, and the palace envoy walked to the center of the main hall and bowed down to Edward VII, and said respectfully: "I respectfully follow Bixia's orders, and the minister has brought the champion and runner-up of this survival competition to meet Bixia." β
