The Return of the King Chapter 196 The Edge of the Heavens
1)
On the morning of January 6, Shecher and the others needed to familiarize themselves with the venue and the entrance to the opening ceremony in the afternoon.
In fact, for many people who have already participated in the Royalty Tournament, the venue is not unfamiliar, but not for the Wizard who is coming to Chagr Island for the first time.
The Chagri Island Arena, called "The Outer Edge", stands in the north of the center of Chagr Island, and the main body is a cylindrical tower with a huge area, and the central arena is about 200 meters high on the top of the tower, which is spread out in the open air, and the audience can be watched by 10,000 people at the same time.
The central arena is generally only used for the opening and closing ceremonies, the third place and championship matches of the Royal Tournament, and the special Battle Dragon Tournament, because the large space allows the mages to have more room to play.
The bowl-shaped arena has a total of eight entrance gates inside, and these entrance gates are also carefully arranged. All non-combat mages can only enter through the east and west gates, and it should be noted here that the rules of the Emperor's Tournament are "all non-combat mages", which means that except for the sixty-four participating mages who go out every year, no one else has the right to pass through the other six gates, including council members and kings!
This is the highest level of respect given to the wizards of the Emperor's Race, and everyone has to abide by it.
The other six entrance doors are one of each of the six kingdoms, and the other kingdoms can't pass through!
At the southern end, the gate is topped with the golden lion, the emblem of Fiore, and the color of the gate is also golden. The southeast gate is sky blue and is marked by a falcon, which represents the kingdom of Raphael. The southwest gate is dedicated to Akapheros, and their emblem is a unicorn with a gray color.
Looking at the northern half, the first is the Northwest Gate, the turquoise color of the Arachis is unique among all the gates, and their symbol is the whale. The north gate is naturally the Kingdom of Seat, which is located in the northernmost part of the Moon Continent, and the symbol is the snow wolf, and the color is naturally white. Finally, there is the northeast gate belonging to Nanling Sabang, which has been repaired, because there was no Nanling Sabang before, and it is also very helpless. In the choice of logo, Nanling Sabang is different from the other five countries, the stars are their constant faith, and the black represents the night sky, mysterious and full of power.
All sixty-four magicians entering the opening ceremony will enter through these six gates, and it can be said that passing through this gate is the best in the continent itself.
There are also four suspended ladders in the southeast, northwest and four directions of the top of the tower, which are symmetrically distributed in the center, and are raised again and lead outward to four small square battle grounds. From a distance, the four small arenas are suspended in the air like towns in the sky, and from the top, they have the artistic conception of being overwhelmed by the cold, which is why it was originally named "The Outer Edge".
These four small arenas are the main venues of the Emperor's Tournament, although they are much smaller in scale than the central arena, but they do not hinder normal battles, and each small arena can accommodate a thousand spectators.
The Outer Ridge also uses a very special high-strength demonized metal in its construction materials, although it is a technology that has been used hundreds of years ago, but it still has not been too depleted.
What's more important is that on the basis of the original creation, many demonic changes have been made, although it cannot be seen clearly on the audience, but when you enter the venue, you can see that there are multiple layers of magic barriers between the arena and the viewing platform, and the magic barrier system of the council, naturally there is no need to worry, the audience sitting on the viewing platform can only feel it visually
to the intensity of the battle, and absolutely not affected by the release of magic power.
With Eric's help, Lanley and Shecher familiarized themselves with the entry process and the general structure of the Outer Edges, and were a little surprised that Eric was also so familiar with it for the first time in the Crown Tournament.
But this is not the first contact, as the prince, Eric, has not come to the scene of the Royal Tournament, and this year is the first time Eric has participated, and Claire must have told him a lot before the competition, so he is still quite familiar with this place.
At noon, Chagr Island was announced to the outside world, and many enthusiastic spectators came to Chaghri Island, of course, it is different from Keberry Island, and there must be many more restrictions.
The Feather of Sin also arrived with the ship, and they felt exactly the same as Lan Li when they arrived on Chagrel Island, full of excitement and excitement, and they couldn't suppress that feeling at all.
Coming to the Outer Ridge was something they could not have imagined before September 634, and now that it had all appeared in front of them, the joy of fulfilling their wishes, which they didn't even know how to share with everyone, had reached the point of incoherence.
It's just that they can't get in touch with Shecher before the opening ceremony, and the relevant management is still extremely strict.
2)
The time is gradually approaching the seventh day, and the Outer Ridge is full, but basically in previous years, the number of people at the opening ceremony will far exceed the number of people during the competition, and even the four small venues in the knockout stage are not full of people.
The focus is nothing more than the beginning and the end, especially in the process, especially those battles that don't have any explosive points, it is difficult to make people interested.
Everyone was excitedly and anxiously waiting for the opening ceremony to officially begin, but there seemed to be no movement in the central venue, as if nothing was going to happen.
But that's what creates a sense of mystery.
When the time came, I saw four people descending from the sky, they were riding on a special small Demon Royal Sky, as long as they had enough training, they could move freely in the air, a bit similar to the kind of Pontedi, but this kind of device was still very rare and could not be touched by ordinary people.
These four people are still very promising, complete quadruplets brothers, and they can't notice any difference if they don't look closely. And their task is still extremely important, not only as the host of the opening ceremony, but also by them in the subsequent games, this "too perfect" cooperation has lasted for six years in the Royal Competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Outer Edge!"
"We're meeting again! We're the four Kaiga brothers!"
"Roar!" cheers and shouts erupted from the audience, and the atmosphere was ignited at the beginning of the opening ceremony.
"After a year, we gathered here at Chagr Island, and the audience was full of seats, and everyone's enthusiasm was still very high!"
"Indeed, this is our big annual show!"
"That's not right, have you considered the thoughts of the protagonists of the Outer Edge?"
"Of course they won't mind waiting behind the gate!"
The four Kaiga brothers shuttled through the sky and took turns talking, as if they were performing a show, which also consumed everyone's patience.
......
After a flamboyant meal, the main topic that everyone is looking forward to is coming.
"Without further ado, before the 97th Royal Tournament officially begins, we have to announce the rules of this Royal Tournament. ”
"The official competition of this year's Royal Tournament will be divided into two parts: the knockout round and the ranking match, and the rules will all be one-on-one competitions, and strive to eliminate all accidental factors. The final eight will be selected through three rounds of elimination over eight days, and the top eight magicians will be ranked in three rounds of ranking matches, and the top eight will receive the corresponding title and prize money for one year, and finally rank the six kingdoms through the new points rules. ”
"The official knockout round will be divided into eight groups, each group of 8 people, the 96th Royal Tournament quarterfinals will also be divided into eight different groups, and the preliminary semi-finals will be divided into four different groups. ”
"The remaining 52 people will be randomly divided into groups according to the principle that each group contains six members and no more than two people from each kingdom, and the winner of each group will advance to the quarterfinals of the official tournament by drawing lots, and the winner of each group will advance to the quarterfinals of the official round. ”
"The quarterfinals will first be determined by the lottery of the top eight players to determine the first round of opponents, the loser four will play five to eight ranking matches, and the top four winners will have the final battle of glory on January 21 to determine the champion of the 97th Royal Championship!"
"In terms of the rules of the kingdom's point ranking, there will also be changes from the past, and the cumulative loser point system will no longer be used, and the step-by-step point system will be replaced to eliminate the situation that the point gap is too large and unrepresentative. ”
"The tiered point system will be based on the number of wins, each person will have 1 base point, each win will get 1 point, and the final four will get an additional point. ”
After listening to this point rule, the audience was still a little confused, because they almost didn't understand how the points were made.
"You may not understand this point system for the first time, so you can explain it again in layman's terms. ”
"Specifically, the top sixty-four magicians will earn 1 point for the kingdom, 2 points for the top 32, 3 points for the top 16 losers, 4 points for the eighth place, 5 points for the sixth and seventh places, 6 points for the fourth and fifth places, 7 points for the runner-up and third place, and 8 points for the champions. ”
In this case, it is probably understandable that the new points rules are based on the original winners and losers' points rules, and the new rules will be adopted for a period of time, in fact, it is not very difficult to understand. ”
"According to the past situation, after the championship is over, the Atlantans will decide whether the First Kingdom is eligible for the War Dragon, and then decide whether to open the exhibition tournament - the War Dragon Match, the War Dragon Match adopts a four-on-one format, and the First Emperor of the First Kingdom decides the list of four people, and at most one non-First Kingdom member can be invited to participate in the battle. ”
"It should be mentioned here that the last Battle Dragon Tournament was started 7 years ago, and in the end, the Fiore Kingdom failed to win the Battle Dragon Tournament. ”
This is probably not very good news, compared to other kingdoms will sigh about this, and the kingdom of Fiore will be quieter. But this is nothing, after all, the other five countries do not even get this qualification.
"Next, I would like to invite the rotating President of the Council of Fourteen of the United House of the Kingdom - Speaker Brian Troy!"
The audience burst into applause again, the rules or something, not many people cared, the announcement of the opening and the entrance of the magicians were the most expected.
