"Mr. Ambassador," the staff member came over and handed the communicator into his hand: "There is a reply from Van Rick."
"Sorry to trouble you." Liao Tianhua nodded lightly. The sun's rays came from the direction of the gravity-free corridor and fell on his face, which was white as snow, and his expression was a little tired. He silently stared in the direction of Stargate Port for a moment. The silver building was shrouded in a huge shadow, and the vacuum was silent - like a huge pupil, staring at the blue 40,000 kilometers below. His thoughts were immersed in the past history. How did humans leave this blue home more than a century ago? When they look at their homeland against this dark background, do they feel the same as contemporary people? Some of the ancient spacecraft from the previous era are still in orbit today. Perhaps from those mottled metals, we can get a glimpse of people's thoughts on courage at that time.
Those who go ahead and explore are always the bravest ones. They push open the door of ignorance and unknown with their own hands, without knowing whether there are thorns on the road ahead; they may even pay the price of their lives for it. The heroic souls will rest forever, and it is sad to sing and cry, but Humanity's yearning for distant places and exploration of the truth of the universe have never stopped for a day. But can the spirit of the past inspire successors to move forward? What choices would the pioneers make when faced with the same dilemma? Oh, maybe even the dilemma itself is completely different! Liao Tianhua couldn't help but sigh softly. The universe was reflected in his eyes, only a deep darkness and coldness.
He touched the panel of the communicator lightly and asked, "Old Su, how is the situation?"
"I was just about to ask you," Su Changfeng showed up and replied, "I heard there was some trouble in Stargate Port. How is it?"
The shadow in Liao Tianhua's eyes became darker, and his expression looked a little scary, but he still nodded. "It's temporarily stable."
Su Changfeng looked at his old friend and hesitated to speak: "You'd better not worry too much..."
"That's not what I'm worried about," Liao Tianhua shook his head: "It's that the progress of the C-area plan cannot be kept up. A large number of selected candidates are stranded at the Star Gate, which has aroused a certain degree of suspicion."
"What do you say over there?"
Liao Tianhua shook his head and said: "...I only know that this year's meeting will be moved up two months."
After a period of silence, Su Changfeng took the initiative to break the silence: "Let me talk about the situation here first. I won't briefly describe the situation in the south. It's all a mess. You should know this better than me. As for that' The plan' has also begun to enter the in-depth stage..."
Liao Tianhua couldn't help but think of his old boss. Ever since the turmoil thirteen years ago, he had firmly stood on the opposition side. It's just that there were very few people who held such opinions at that time, but it profoundly affected the two of them. Now there are more and more like-minded people, and the original persistence has finally paid off.
Su Changfeng then replied: "As for the little incident in Fenris, I also made some discoveries. Are you interested in hearing about it?"
"Don't be too pretentious," Liao Tianhua couldn't help complaining: "Of course I'm interested. If that's true, we need a pool of talent reserves right now, and we're already lagging behind." He sighed, otherwise, There will be no redeployment of manpower at the moment.
"Have you found someone?"
"Seventy to eighty percent," Su Changfeng nodded, "but there are some interesting things here."
Liao Tianhua couldn't help but ask: "What's an interesting idea?"
"Do you still remember that incident years ago?" Su Changfeng laughed: "Let me remind you, Talen, the elf ruins -"
Liao Tianhua's eyes flashed, and then he showed a suspicious look: "Of course I remember, but you guy must have some subtext."
Su Changfeng opened his mouth and said something silently.
When the ambassador heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance.
"How?" Su Changfeng smiled mysteriously.
Liao Tianhua glanced at him and only replied: "You are right, let the Star Gate Special Forces go there first——"
…
Ai Xiaoxiao stood in the festive square, looking over the adventurers coming and going. He held up a light page in his hand and pointed it at the balloons and airships in the sky with the background of Elfondo's spire. , taking photos horizontally and vertically, looking excited.
She also poked her friend beside her and screamed: "Look over there."
Tang Xin watched coldly as the huge shadow of the aerospace ship shrouded its head, roaring and slowly sailing into the airport area. Countless flying creatures, large and small, were surrounding it. "Don't be so surprised, my little princess," she sighed: "It's not like you haven't seen it before."
"But I feel shocked every time."
Ai Xiaoxiao muttered and turned around: "I didn't expect that there is such a prosperous technology in other worlds! Have you ever thought about it, Tangtang?"
"That's magic." Tang Xin replied.
"That's right," Ai Xiaoxiao complained, "Tangtang, you are so boring."
"Oh," Tang Xin's eyes wandered among the crowd, and she replied absentmindedly, and reminded: "Pay attention to the road, don't get lost again."
"Then Tangtang, you protect me."
Tang Xin only nodded.
Ai Xiaoxiao was so moved for a moment that she couldn't help but grab the latter's hand, with little stars in her eyes: "Tangtang, you are so warm, can I marry you?"
Tang Xin slapped the disgusting little girl on the head and pushed her away. She asked: “The game is about to start, which one do you plan to watch?
"Hey, are there many games starting at the same time?" Ai Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised: "Isn't it a competition one after another?"
Tang Xin rolled her eyes and thought that it was indeed the case. Fortunately, she asked in time. "This is the audition, my little princess. There are hundreds of teams from all over the world participating in the first competition. Do you plan to watch here for a year? Have you read the rules?"
"I, I, I probably saw it - right?" Ai Xiaoxiao replied guiltily.
Tang Xin was not surprised by this and only replied: "The competition team divided ten venues on the Minaret Square, and there were five games in each field. It ended in three rounds. The top 30 were counted according to the score and entered the next round. So. In each round, there are fifty games going on at the same time, what venue are you planning to go to?”
Ai Xiaoxiao almost felt dizzy and quickly replied: "How about we go for a walk first?"
"Turn around?" Tang Xin looked at this girl suspiciously - are you really here to watch the game? But this was exactly what she wanted. She wasn't here to watch the game, so she nodded noncommittally.
"Tangtang, you are so kind!" Seeing that her friend could indeed come up with a solution to the problem, Ai Xiaoxiao jumped up and down with excitement. But as soon as she stepped back, she hurriedly bumped into someone behind her. Ai Xiaoxiao was startled and was about to turn around to apologize.
But when she saw that person, she was slightly startled and couldn't help blurting out: "Ah, it's you!"
Dickert also looked at the two little girls with some surprise.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
Tang Xin also nodded to the other party: "Sir, we meet again. Hello."
Ai Xiaoxiao was a little curious and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, have you finally found that person?"
"I found it. I've troubled you before, ladies." Dickert replied with a slight smile. After he left the Elfendor Spire before, he accidentally met the two of them again, and simply asked them for help in contacting Fang Plover, which led to a series of events that followed.
But I didn't expect to meet them here again today.
"It's just a little effort." Tang Xin said politely.
Dick nodded, looked at the two of them again, and asked, "Are you here to watch the game too?"
"Exactly," Ai Xiaoxiao immediately responded, "But we haven't made any plans yet. We're going to take a look around the square first."
"That's not as good as this," Dict smiled: "Actually, my companion is also going to participate in this competition. If you two don't mind, how about I introduce him to you?" It can be seen that he actually likes these two people quite a lot. A little girl.
Especially Ai Xiaoxiao, who treats everyone kindly. As for the girl named 'Tang Xin', she seemed a little more inhumane. But based on Dickert’s experience, he didn’t take it seriously.
"Okay, okay," Ai Xiaoxiao wished someone could guide him, but he was a little strange: "Your companion also wants to participate in this competition?"
"Don't be surprised," Dict explained: "He's just a little guy, he's my best friend."
Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be very curious after hearing this. She knew that this old knight was an aboriginal—and the aboriginal’s old friend was also a Chosen One. What kind of person could he be? She immediately forgot about the competition and quickly agreed:
"Then you must take us to see it, Mr. Dickert."
Dickert only nodded slightly when he heard this.
On the square, Fang Plover naturally had no idea about this.
In fact, he was discovering that he didn't seem to be good at dealing with such a crowded situation.
Soul fingerprints had previously informed them that the competition would arrange their match in the third round, on the seventh field, but Fang Pliance, Dill, and Cui Yu couldn't find their way among the crowd. In addition, under the watchful eyes of a group of alchemists from the Southern Alliance above his head, Fang Plover was unable to blatantly release the Clockwork Goblin.
That would be too disrespectful to the bosses. After all, a no-air order was issued in Elfendo Square today——
Fortunately, Mu Lan, who had competition experience, had expected this and came over first before taking the newcomers out. This made Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh that it was still beneficial to have the guild at his back. If it had been him, he would have been lost until he died and couldn't find the direction of the arena. You must know that every time in such a competition, there is actually a team that loses the qualification for one reason or another——
But when the competition was about to start, everyone seemed very quiet. They only briefly discussed what their opponents would be in the next round - as for the opponents in the audition, each of the three rounds had fifty games starting at the same time, and one hundred and fifty. Among more than ten teams, it is impossible to know the details of everyone.
Under such a competition system, there is no way to target them. The only thing everyone can do is to show their own level, enter the top 30, and then successfully advance to the next round. Discussing the opponents in this round is actually meaningless.
However, the five teams in the same division always have to look at each other. Coincidentally, Fang Yu discovered that in addition to two unknown teams in this competition area, there were actually 'two' old acquaintances of his.
One of them is the team from the Shadow Throne - but he heard that the Shadow Throne sent three teams to compete this time, so it may not be surprising to meet one of them. After all, Shadow Throne is a guild in the south, and it is still more enthusiastic about local competitions than other guild forces.
As for the other team, it is a team of God-killers, led by Virus himself.
Fang Plover was startled when he saw the latter, and the iceberg goddess also looked at Fang Plover suspiciously, probably because she felt that he looked familiar. However, there are rumors that Virus attaches great importance to the Alchemist team of God Killer. Basically, the training of new alchemists in the guild is done personally.
Now it seems that the rumors are true.
Fortunately, the other party only glanced at him twice. Apparently he didn't care about him, the little alchemist of Ragnarok, and quickly turned around.
On the other hand, the Shadow Throne team was talking a lot on the side, pointing fingers at their two teams. After all, for Shadow Throne, Ragnarok and Godslayer are the top ten guilds, and their teams are naturally the strongest opponents in this competition.
However, the leader of Shadow Throne is mainly focused on Ragnarok.
After all, since the God Killer had Virus, the alchemist team has become more and more prosperous, and almost all of its backbones were built by the iceberg beauty. As for the other party's strength level, they naturally know it well.
At the level of Throne of Shadows, challenging the Godslayer's team is basically asking for trouble. But Ragnarok is different. It is well known that Ragnarok's craftsmen are traditionally weak, and this is also well-known in the circle.
If these people enter the second round, they are likely to encounter teams from the top ten guilds, and among the top ten guilds, Ragnarok is probably the only one where they have a chance to score points.
So the young man focused on introducing Ragnarok's team. He had obviously done enough homework. He pointed at MTT in front of Fang Pliance and said, "That's MTT. He should be regarded as Ragnarok's coach. It is said that his level has improved a lot this year. However, his results must have been invalidated, so just pay a little attention." That’s it.”
He looked at the others again: "You should pay more attention to those young people in Ragnarok. Especially the alchemist named Cui Yu, who is a rising star in Ragnarok recently. You can observe what he is good at. , to facilitate our response later.”
"As for the little girl named Dill, there is not much information about her, but it seems that she is not the main player in the team." The young man looked at his team at this time and said: "She doesn't seem to be playing this round, otherwise you can Pay attention to her and see what kind of level she is."
"As for the remaining chickpeas and mulan, they are all old faces. They are strong but can be expected."
When he said this, his eyes fell on the last person - that person was naturally Fang Plover. The young man couldn't help but pause.
After confirming again and again, he turned back to the deputy beside him and said, "That young man, is it in the information?"
The deputy took out his notebook, compared it, and then shook his head: "No."
"Are you sure?"
"Not really."
When the young man heard this, his heart thumped and he immediately frowned.
He knew that a large guild like Ragnarok had a profound background. Although it was short in training alchemists, there was no telling when a monster would emerge from the training camp. In fact, the Rose Crusaders and Silver Vislan have all had such examples.
The opponent dared to bring such a new face to the competition, so he must have something to rely on. Or was it that he had been wrong all along? Isn't the young man named Cui Ning the trump card arranged by Ragnarok this time?
But this person?
Thinking of this, the team leader immediately turned around, picked out a tall girl from the crowd, and said to her: "Qin Yu, you are the most talented in single words and engraving speed. You will be in the first round. If the competition After that, you are the first to finish, and you should pay attention to the young man opposite."
The girl glanced at Fang Plover when she heard this, and then nodded lightly.
…
"They are looking at you." Mu Lan suddenly said to Fang Plover.
Everyone in Ragnarok naturally noticed the attention of the people from the Throne of Shadows to them. It's just that except for Fang Plover, no one else actually pays much attention to these 'small guilds'.
Mu Lan actually knew the reason why the opponent paid attention to Fang Plover. Anyone who was pursuing the results of the competition would definitely pay attention to the opponent in the next round. In this case, unfamiliar faces are obviously an unstable factor.
Especially a team as famous as theirs.
But she was actually just joking. After all, Mu Lan cared more about the God Killer on the other side than the Shadow Throne. In the last competition, the team she and MTT were in actually lost to the God Killer.
It's just that they are looking at each other, and the God Killer is obviously paying attention to them. Both sides regard the other as a potential opponent in the next round. But in comparison, after all, the latter has more psychological advantages.
The first round of competition quickly entered the preparation stage.
Since this round of competition is actually not critical for Ragnarok, Soul Fingerprint has not changed much from the original plan. It's just that the original double insurance of Mulan and MTT was changed to be led by Mulan and Fang Pulver, supplemented by Hummus and Cui Yu.
In this way, Mu Lan, who is relatively average in strength, serves as insurance, and Fang Plover, who is a surprise soldier, is not too exposed. Both Chickpea and Cui Yu are relatively stable players, and ranking in the top 30 with the average score of this combination should be more than enough in the eyes of Soul Fingerprint.
In the first single-word engraving match, Fang Plover was the first to appear on Ragnarok's side. Hearing only a whistle from the referee, the match officially began.
In fact, it is similar to the assessment in the Hall of Thousand Doors. This competition also compares the accuracy and speed of carving. Of course, to get high scores, there are still certain requirements for personal strength. But for Fang Plover, who has experienced the Hall of Thousand Doors, it is hard to say that there is any challenge——
It's just that he expected that his results would be invalid, so he had no intention of doing anything fancy. He only waited for a moment before gently picking up the carving knife...
