Chapter 445: Go Early and Return Early
The two countries' Void Exploration teams appeared on Blazing Feather Island in almost no particular order.
The cloudy and thunder-shrouded island suddenly glowed with infinite vitality, and the magicians in the camp were like dead trees in spring, and they were full of surprise.
In the past 7 days, the two student teams have gone deep into the Void Realm, while the two Demon Daoists who remained in reality are in a subtle embarrassment.
It stands to reason that they should make full use of this rare opportunity for international exchange to exchange skills and knowledge with foreign magicians...... In fact, in the previous conferences on Blazing Feather Island, most of the parties involved were exchanging and helping each other while tearing apart their interests.
However, this time, due to various reasons, the atmosphere of exchange and mutual assistance could not be condensed, and an invisible ice seemed to be erected between the two countries.
Perhaps it was the serious casualties caused by the chaos of foreign objects outside the sky, which sprouted irrational hatred seeds in people's hearts. Or maybe when a few Shengyuan nobles provoked the Qin people with the confidence of fascination, they were led by the original poem to be hanged, and finally stripped naked and hung on the flagpole of the Shengyuan people...... This incident seriously affected the atmosphere of the venue.
In short, the people left behind in the two countries spent 7 days in a very awkward and delicate situation, and at this time, seeing the return of the exploration team, the Blazing Feather Island Conference was about to come to an end, and everyone felt that the dawn of victory was close at hand, and their hearts were refreshed.
At the same time, Zhou Yu and Zhu Junshen invariably stood out from the crowd.
Zhou Yu was the first to speak: "Next, please submit your own exploration reports on both sides." “
"The audit team is ready to review the report at any time. ”
"Let's get started. ”
The words of the two Demon Dao Grandmasters were understated, as if they had no weight, but when everyone heard it, they all felt their hearts become solemn.
The outcome of this conference is about to be revealed...... The team to be reviewed carefully reviewed the reports of the two parties, and the scores are scored according to the same criteria, and the relationship between victory and defeat is clear at a glance.
Objectively speaking, most people actually have a relatively consistent judgment on the victory or defeat when the two teams come out of the virtual world.
If Yuan Yi can win, there will be ghosts...... If it is said that against the snow mountain trio alone, there are still a few chances of winning, and there is a Bai Wuya in the team, then everyone's expectation of him becomes: It would be good to come back alive.
Now Yuan Yi has indeed brought everyone back to reality alive, but the Saint Yuan people are naturally unable to show the joy of the victor.
Many people looked at Zhou Yu with curiosity and confusion, looking forward to what kind of trick this first person in the world could use to turn the tables.
Although if you think rationally, Shengyuan has almost no chance of winning this game, but it is really difficult for people to accept the defeat of the first person in the world.
Speaker Zhou should be able to create a miracle, right?
Many people are looking forward to it in their hearts.
However, miracles do not come just because people expect them.
It didn't take long for the audit team to complete the review of the two reports, and the results were announced by Chu.
"After a unified formula calculation, the exploration score of the Qin Guo team is 1548 points, and the exploration score of the Shengyuan team is 1472 points. The winner of this Blazing Feather Island Conference is the Qin team. I now invite the representatives of the two countries to sign the confirmation. ”
As soon as the words fell, the hope of the Shengyuan people, Speaker Zhou Yu took the lead in writing his name on the confirmation book held by Zhu Junshen.
The sight of two old men standing side by side is extremely rare - the first in the world and the second in the world, it is impossible to coexist peacefully for a long time - so someone quickly captured the scene in time and preserved it in various ways.
Looking back at this picture, people only feel that there seems to be a mysterious connection that is enough to shake the foundation of the world.
It's a pity that there is no time to continue to study with others in the venue.
As the conclusions were announced, all reacted spontaneously and instinctively.
"Impossible...... Did you really lose?Did you lose like that?" A Saint Yuan nobleman was at a loss.
The person next to him was a little incredulous, and there was a hint of annoyance in his tone: "Did the speaker just let this result go!?"
Someone next to him immediately advised: "No, the speaker should have done his best." Judging from the score, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't lose much, maybe just a little bit of luck, and the final winner was us. Objectively speaking, it is already very unexpected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only lost so little in multiple unfavorable situations. ”
Although this truth is not to be heard, it is pertinent enough.
The complainant also had to admit: "Alas, if Bai Wuya hadn't suddenly mixed in, maybe we would have won." After all, the Qin people were despicable and shameless enough to let him in as a student!"
These words were a little louder, and they were naturally said to everyone.
Everyone could hear it, and the parties were no exception, Yuan Yi said quietly: "It's a pity that your guess is diametrically opposed to the facts, if it weren't for Mr. Bai Wuya's most important contribution in the exploration, we would have lost even more." Of the 1,472 points for this Void Exploration, more than 900 points came from Mr. Bai Wuya. ”
"Uh......" The person who questioned it earlier suddenly became dumbfounded, and he only felt a burst of incredulity in his heart.
And Yuan Yi did not want to talk about this in detail: "The specific content will be announced to the world after the conference, and you can check it for yourself." To be honest, I really didn't expect that we would still lose the game after we had dug up the remains of the Flame King. What Bai Xiao and they found in the Flame King Court was really curious. ”
At the same time, Bai Xiao and others, who were the victors, were already wrapped in a sea of cheers.
The Demon Daoists from the Qin Kingdom fell into a carnival - even the Demon Daoists of White Night City, who had always had a delicate relationship with Red Mountain City, let go of their scruples at this time and celebrated their victory to the fullest.
It is a little unpleasant to let the Hongshan people, to be precise, the Snow Mountain people, take the lead, but it seems to be more profitable to see the gray faces of the Shengyuan people.
In the crowd, the most sincerely excited and happy were Zuo Qingsui and others who were following Yuan Yi and the others not long ago.
"Senior Brother Bai Xiao!"
The girl galloped all the way to Bai Xiao, her cheeks flushed: "Congratulations! Senior brother is really amazing." ”
As soon as the words fell, the girl had an extra hand on her shoulder: "It's unfair to say this, just say that Xiaobai is powerful, are the two of us just foils?"
was raised horizontally by Lan Lan, and Zuo Qingsui was suddenly speechless. Fortunately, this embarrassment only lasted for a moment, and the next moment it was broken by Lu Xun and others who followed over.
Lu Xun gave Bai Xiao a big salute: "I am really convinced, such a situation was actually won by Senior Brother Bai." ”
Behind him, the older Ge Cun also sighed: "I saw Mr. Bai Wuya fighting the Flame King in the palace before, and I thought that the winner of this conference was none other than Shengyuan, but I didn't expect that your exploration results would surpass the remains of the Flame King!"
Lan Lan was surprised when he heard this: "You really dug up the coffin of the Flame King?"
After that, Lu Xun simply recounted what Bai Wuya had done in the Flame King's Court, which only caused everyone around him to be amazed.
"Mr. Bai Wuya is really ......" A middle-aged demon Taoist priest wanted to speak several times and then stopped, "It can't be common sense, why does he want to help Shengyuanren!?"
Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "Of course he has no intention of helping Shengyuan, and it is for his personal purpose to enter the Void Ruins with the team...... It can only be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shengyuan still seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation, and restored the process to the report almost perfectly, and converted it into his own score. If you want to say that it can't be calculated by common sense, or is it more common sense on Senior Brother Bai Xiao's side, what kind of discovery can be better than the remains of the Flame King?"
As he spoke, countless pairs of curious eyes focused on Bai Xiao at the same time.
Although the report submitted in two days will be made public in a few days, it is clear that no one present can wait for a few days.
Bai Xiao opened his mouth, still shaking his head a little boredly.
I have a heavy heart, and I'm really not interested in answering questions for these people.
Fortunately, there is finally a professional commentator Qing Yue here, who narrates what the group saw and heard after entering the virtual world, which constantly aroused the exclamations of the audience.
While people were concentrating on the story, Bai Xiao quietly broke away from the crowd and came to a secluded corner on the edge of the venue, where he continued to fall into deep thought.
In my mind, countless mixed thoughts were intertwined.
About the resurrection of Yingxue, about the true face of the guardian saint of the holy mountain, and about the history of the symbiosis of humans and demons in ancient times......
The musings were soon interrupted.
"What are you thinking?"
An old voice suddenly sounded in his ears, making Bai Xiao come back to his senses.
When I looked up, I saw a slightly unfamiliar face.
For the first person in the world, Bai Xiao always felt far away from him...... So when the other party took the initiative to walk in front of him, the unprecedented close contact made Bai Xiao feel a strong sense of disobedience.
Seeing Bai Xiao's vigilant face, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, spread out his right hand, and displayed a constantly rolling red vortex in front of Bai Xiao.
"It's your booty...... It should have been handed over to you after the conference, but I think you would have liked to see it sooner. ”
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, realizing that this whirlpool was Zhou Yu's memory, recording all the information of the bloodline amplification test.
The young man's breath became short.
Zhou Yu clenched his palm, pinched the invisible vortex into a crystal clear jade, and then handed it to Bai Xiao.
"Dig deep into the magic and you'll be able to see the whole thing. What I knew, heard, thought and thought about the test of that year is recorded in it. ”
Bai Xiao was stunned when he heard this, pinched the jade, and said slowly: "Thank you." ”
"It's a pre-agreed bet, and I can't thank you. ”
"Well, then no thanks. ”
"Huh. Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, and as the laughter rang out, everything around him seemed to be shrouded in a light veil.
The world is isolated.
Bai Xiao became vigilant, his figure was slightly lowered, ready to attack.
Zhou Yu raised his hand: "Don't be nervous, I don't have any malice, but I don't want the third party to hear some words." For the sake of me not passing the buck to my own defeat, but settling the bet early, listen to my old man's nagging. ”
Bai Xiao said, "If you want me to go to the Shengyuan Continent, then there is no need to say more. ”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
Bai Xiao said again: "Shengyuan Continent, I must go, whether you like it or not." ”
"I'm certainly infinitely welcoming. Zhou Yu smiled with relief, "It seems that my carving insect skills have not been able to hide from the Demon Dao Princess, and I am really laughing and generous." ”
Bai Xiao was not interested in what Yixiao was generous, and asked seriously: "I have two questions, first, I want to resurrect my mother, what help can you provide? Second, how many relics of the ancient era are there in the Eastern Continent?"
Bai Xiao asked solemnly, and Zhou Yu also took advantage of the situation to restrain his smile and respond seriously with the attitude of the first person in the world.
"As for the test of the year, I have reproduced all the test equipment on the Immortal Tree, and I can restart the test at any time...... Let Her Royal Highness Yingxue return to the world. ”
Bai Xiao nodded and didn't speak, because at this time, there were already thousands of words in his heart, but he had nothing to say.
Zhou Yu said: "As for the ancient ruins, the Eastern Continent is the origin of human civilization after all, and all the footprints of human beings from the beginning of ignorance to the present have been left in the Eastern Continent. ”
Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, there was one more person in this separate world.
"Speaker, this is a little inappropriate, isn't it?" Zhu Junshen sighed and joined the conversation: "I lost the Blazing Feather Island Conference, but I want to turn the tables in private, this method is inevitably sorry for the name of the first person in the world." ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "It's just a name, if you care, what's the harm if I give it to you? My suggestion is purely for Bai Xiao's consideration, he is now interested in the secrets of the ancients, and if he wants to explore the secrets of the ancients, is there a more suitable place than the Eastern Continent?"
This correct argument is indeed irrefutable, Zhu Junshen just sneered: "It is indeed unexpected and justifiable, you are so shrewd in your calculations, why do you bother to hold the Blazing Feather Island Conference with great fanfare? Wouldn't it be okay to negotiate the terms with Bai Xiao directly in private? Throw out the right bait, he will always take the bait." ”
Zhou Yu said: "Without experiencing the mysteries in the Flame Royal Court, it is difficult for me to win the trust of people no matter what I say, so a trip to the Flame Royal Court is still necessary, as for the problem of bait and bait...... If you Qin State can't get used to it, you can also throw your own bait, and whether you can attract the interest of the ancient relics depends on your ability. ”
Zhou Yu's remarks are not only high-sounding, but also a little cynical and spicy.
In the final analysis, the Western Continent was only founded independently by the colonies, and it is far from being comparable to Shengyuan in terms of historical background.
Zhu Junshen also knew that he couldn't take advantage of this topic, so he turned his attention to Bai Xiao.
To say a thousand things, the decision of the parties is the most important.
"You want to go to the Eastern Continent?"
Bai Xiao said: "Yes. ”
Zhu Junshen persuaded: "The problem you are facing does not necessarily have to be solved by yourself...... In the Qin Kingdom, in Hongshan City, are there no people and things worthy of your nostalgia? Your studies have just begun. ”
Bai Xiao asked rhetorically: "Can't I continue to study in Shengyuan?"
“...... That's a good question. Zhu Junshen reluctantly gave up persuasion.
If you want to objectively and fairly evaluate the teaching strength of Shengyuan and Qin, then Shengyuan will undoubtedly win.
Whether it is the number one person in the world who is high in the world, or the pure knowledge reserve of the Demon Dao, the Shengyuan Empire has more advantages.
However, it is unfair to judge the merits of the two countries in an "objective and fair" way.
After all, Qin Guo and Bai Xiao were in contact a year earlier, so could the deep relationship cultivated in the past year be lost?
Of course, Zhu Junshen knew that Bai Xiao was not a merciless person, on the contrary, he valued feelings more than most southerners, so when Bai Xiao was desperate, Zhu Junshen really had nothing to persuade.
can only say that the first person in the world is awesome.
"In that case, I won't stop you, and I'll prepare for the study abroad procedures when I go back...... You're still a student at the Red Mountain Academy, and it's only a temporary expediency to go to the Shengyuan Continent, not a permanent settlement. ”
Zhu Junshen said in the end, and his tone couldn't help but be a little generous and sad.
As soon as the words fell, a young girl's voice joined in.
"Of course it won't be a permanent settlement, our home is still in the Western Continent...... Unless the Shengyuan Empire shows enough hospitality for us to see enough sincerity. ”
Qingyue's words directly made Zhu Junshen's eyes jump: "What does this mean? As long as the conditions given by the people of the Western Continent are good enough, you will stay there forever and not come back!? Wait, Bai Xiao studying abroad, what are you messing with?"
Qingyue said as a matter of course: "Xiaobai is going east, of course I have to follow...... Ancient ruins are actually more important to me than to Xiaobai. ”
Without waiting for Zhu Junshen to persuade again, Qingyue threw out a royal argument that made Zhu Junshen grit two lines of teeth and couldn't refute it.
"Teacher, you've already broken us up once, you won't want to split it a second time, right?"
Zhu Junshen almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard this.
Is it really necessary?!Is it really necessary to keep mentioning people's black history?!I also decided to erase your memories out of a lot of considerations...... Didn't you erase the results? Your memory recovered faster than anyone else, and you split up many sisters of the same position because of the blessing of misfortune, which made me a double headache as a teacher!"
Qing Yue smiled and said: "Just kidding, but I don't want to go, and I ask the teacher to be able to fulfill it seriously." ”
Zhu Junshen had nothing to say about this, so he could only complain to Zhou Yu: "Don't you feel ashamed that this isolation array can't even stop a newcomer to the Demon Dao?"
On the one hand, Zhou Yu was certainly surprised that Qing Yue was able to break the barrier so lightly and join the Grandmaster dialogue, but on the other hand, he responded: "It is also thanks to not blocking this Demon Dao newcomer that our Saint Yuan Empire can welcome two outstanding international students. ”
This kind of pure words that add to people's blockage also makes Zhu Junshen angry and funny.
You are also the first person in the world, and you actually pulled your face down to say such things?!
But when the first person in the world is shameless, the second person in the world is really helpless...... And in the final analysis, it was because he didn't see the other party's "conspiracy trap" from the beginning. When Bai Xiao and the others stepped into the Flame Palace, the follow-up could be said to be destined to happen.
Of course, this is not a parting of life and death, it is common for the Demon Daoists of the Western Continent to go to the Eastern Continent for further study, and Zhu Junshen also traveled to study in Shengyuan for a long time when he was young...... In fact, even if there is no Yang Mou of Zhou Amnesty, Zhu Junshen also plans to send all the tribesmen to the Eastern Continent to study in a few years.
It's just that Zhou Yu has advanced this plan for a long time.
"Now that you've made your decision, I won't say more. I will let people deal with the issue of student status as soon as possible, and it is okay for you to leave for Shengyuan directly after the conference. ”
Qingyue smiled: "Teacher, if you don't have to be so considerate, we won't forget you." ”
Zhu Junshen sneered: "I'm afraid that if I am not considerate, you will only be in a hurry for me...... Say goodbye to your classmates and teachers, and get ready to go, go early and return early. ”
"Well, go early and come back early. ”
