In the middle of speaking, Scape suddenly stopped, with an even weirder look on her face, and she reached out and pointed lightly behind Fang Plover.
Fang Yu didn't understand the meaning of this action at first, and only showed a look of astonishment, but suddenly a chill hit him, making his upper and lower teeth tremble, and he looked behind him with some trembling.
The square is a sea of flags and brightly colored hangings. Citizens gathered around the square. Everyone was dressed up and had feathers on their hats. The colorful feathers gathered together as they walked, which was really charming.
Among the crowd, Fang Plover first saw Dict, who was politely explaining his origins to the guard. His tone was friendly and his temperament was charming. Although the guards were dubious, they did not dare to make mistakes easily.
Behind him were two girls, who were much taller than Fang Plover remembered. One of them had an innocent and inexperienced look on his face, while the other one squinted his eyes and looked directly at him, showing a dangerous look.
This gaze made Fang Plover feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a wave of dizziness struck him. When he secretly contacted the 'snakehead' alone, he should have thought of this day! He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly. He originally thought that it would be delayed for another year and a half.
"But how did she find this place?" Fang Yu thought to himself, "With her shrewd mind, she must have discovered some clues." But he thought a lot, and he didn't expect that everything was just because of Ai Xiaoxiao.
He couldn't help but feel guilty. Although the two of them have been enemies since childhood, he has always been careful not to let the other party take advantage of them - but this time he played too much, and with the devilish temperament of the other party, he will not make it easy for him.
Tang Xin was looking at him with a malicious smile on her face.
Fang Plover was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat——
Sylvide noticed something strange about him, glanced at him curiously, then followed his gaze with confusion, and happened to meet Tang Xin's eyes. That was the first time the two people's eyes met, and Sylvide recognized that it was the girl in the photo, Fang Plover's cousin. She couldn't help but smile in her eyes, which made Tang Xin slightly startled.
But she immediately frowned, the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared, and she pursed her lips tightly in defiance.
When Sylvester saw this, her eyes moved slightly, thinking deeply in her heart.
Fang Yu resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and walked over. "Mr. Dickert," he called, pretending not to look away. When the guard saw his identity as a contestant, he understood and apologized to Dickert and let him go.
Dict walked over with a smile on his face, looked at him and said: "I have never been regarded as a suspicious person since I served as a Lion Knight in Kaolin-Ishulian, but this time I made an exception because of you. , Ed.”
Although Fang Yu knew that the other party was just joking, he still felt ashamed. The Lion Knight is a unique honorary title among the Dawn Guard, and is only awarded by the king himself. It seems that before this old knight went to investigate the Dragon Cult conspiracy and became anonymous, he was also a close minister of the late king and one of the palace knights. Outstanding.
His status is as prominent as that of Sir Robin today.
However, Dict only smiled and said: "But that is all in the past. Let me introduce these two ladies to you."
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously.
But Tang Xin smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Alchemist."
Mr. Alchemist.
Fang Plover's scalp felt numb for a while.
Just hearing this title shows how dissatisfied she is. No matter how they quarreled in the past, she always called him cousin obediently in front of outsiders, and her voice was so sweet that outsiders always thought they had a very good relationship as brother and sister.
Fang Yu didn't know for a moment whether he should reciprocate a wry smile or reply: "Hello." But he also had an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm, and felt that if he really replied like that, he would definitely die. .
So for a while he could only laugh.
Tang Xin's eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them. If eyes could turn into swords, Fang Plover would probably lose one of his claws. But even if he couldn't, the latter felt like he was being stabbed across the body. He couldn't help but tremble, but he still held on to Sylvester's hand.
Sylvide just remained calm, lowered her head and couldn't help but smile.
Only then did Dicker realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Only then did Fang Plover say dryly: "Tang, Tang Xin."
"Hey, why don't you call me Tangtang?" Tang Xin sneered, revealing her pointed canine teeth like a little devil: "Dear cousin?"
"Ah!" Behind Tang Xin, Ai Xiaoxiao shouted in surprise: "Tangtang, do you know each other? Is this the idiot cousin you said?"
There was a 'Pfft', and Tian Lan, who was not sure what was going on in the distance and was about to come over to watch the excitement, heard this and couldn't help laughing. Fang Yu turned around and was so frightened that the little girl ran back quickly. Judging from her appearance, her name was about to spread among the team.
Mulan and others on the side also burst into laughter. Only Cui Yu shook his head, looking disapproving, and turned around to notify Soul Fingerprint.
Fang Yu then turned around, pointed at himself in disbelief, and said to Tang Xin, "Tangtang?"
He never dreamed that his cousin would give him such a title in private.
However, this small episode finally eased the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Tang Xin was also a little embarrassed. After all, she was a model sister in the eyes of outsiders. Although she had some little devilish personality, she only showed it in front of her stupid cousin.
Now that her character had collapsed, she blushed and replied, "Why are you asking? You just heard wrong."
"How could I hear it wrong?"
"I said you heard wrong, you heard wrong." Tang Xin rolled her eyes at him.
"Tangtang, that's not what you said before." Ai Xiaoxiao asked unclearly.
Tang Xin was so angry that she almost threw her harmful friend out.
At this time, Soul Fingerprint finally got the news and rushed over. The senior school leader first looked at the two little girls dressed as tourists curiously, and then asked: "Ed, is this your sister?"
Tang Xin turned her eyes and looked at this woman with some suspicion. However, she felt relieved after learning that she was just the leader of the team.
But she looked at Sylvester beside her, then at her soul fingerprint, and couldn't help but frown, wondering why this stupid cousin came to this world and beautiful women appeared one after another.
Fang Yu nodded.
Soul Fingerprint looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and then answered: "Ed, you don't have to participate in the second round anyway. Since someone from your family is coming, I will give you a holiday. But it's still the same as before, at night I have to return to the team before, is that okay?”
Fang Yu was slightly startled, a little surprised.
The format of this competition is actually divided into three rounds. In the first round of auditions, there is only one competition, and 30 teams are selected from hundreds of teams to enter the second round. The second round begins with the main draw, with two rounds among the thirty teams, and fourteen teams will be eliminated based on total points.
The remaining sixteen teams entered the third round of finals. The final stage is a knockout competition until the final champion is determined, but at the same time, the mainland league's exhibition matches also have a special mechanism. That is, among the three rounds of competition, the competition stipulates that all contestants can only participate in two rounds.
This is probably to test the thickness of each team's bench in order to test the overall strength level of the alchemists in a region, and this is also the true purpose of the exhibition match. Just like this, Soul Fingerprint arranged for him to participate in the first and third rounds. Relatively speaking, he had a bye in the second round.
So it is not wrong to say that he has no competition.
But if it were someone else, the soul fingerprint might not let them leave the field. After all, any accident could happen during the game. But on the one hand, Fang Plover is not from Ragnarok, and on the other hand, she does not want the other party to affect the game itself due to off-field matters. This half-day holiday is actually to let him deal with his own affairs first.
Of course, all this is predicated on Fang Plover's previous stable performance. If Fang Plover's performance was unstable before, Soul Fingerprint would not allow him to leave alone under any circumstances.
But for Fang Plover, it does take half a day now. Tang Xin's sudden appearance completely disrupted his previous plan. He knew his cousin's character very well. If he could not satisfy the other party, this little devil would definitely turn into a snitching robot.
And the next ones who came were his uncle and aunt.
Maybe there are people from the military.
Thinking of this, he was somewhat grateful to this senior from Ragnarok. Soul Fingerprint just nodded slightly to him. She was certainly not an unkind person, but relatively speaking, the competition was above all else.
But Tang Xin still had some lingering anger, so she just gave him a cold look and replied: "Where are you going? I still want to watch the game."
But before she finished speaking, she started to make trouble for her friend.
Ai Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully: "Tangtang, are you stupid? Everyone has been found, why are you watching the game?" She also took out a small notebook that she had prepared and came to Fang Plover with eyes full of stars: "Cousin, cousin, please give me your autograph."
Tang Xin rolled her eyes.
I just wonder if you can get your autograph in Aitalia?
She sighed, always feeling like she was surrounded by some mindless guys.
…
In the hall on the sixth floor of Elfendor, the little monster was carefully moving stacks of red gold sculptures to the center of the hall.
The southern alchemists in the hall were talking a lot. However, only a few well-known craftsmen could inspect the selected 'works' one by one at the long table in the center - a total of seventy-seven red gold plates. As Qin Yu expected, these were all the first round The 'answer sheets' with the highest scores were screened out during the competition.
Ander was using the light of the crystal chandelier to examine each red gold plate carefully with great interest. He nodded from time to time, as if he was deliberately making his old friend angry, and made some clumsy comments: "This is not bad..."
"This person's methods are also very unique."
"This is a good seedling."
Falaise threw the red gold plate in his hand back on the table with a soft sound. "The foundation is not enough, the heat is a little lacking... As for this one, it is more than exquisite, regardless of its importance." At a glance, he saw that they were all mediocre people, with almost no eye-catching works.
He understood that Ender's eyes were far above his own, and the other party's pretense was just to change the subject. He put down the last red gold plate and couldn't help but sigh. As he expected, there were no impressive young people in this year's performance arena.
The alchemy industry has developed to this day. Alchemy federations and branches have sprung up all over the country, and the system for selecting talents is becoming increasingly perfect. Nowadays, it is far more difficult to find and fill vacancies than it was more than ten years ago.
Among the seventy-seven red gold plates, the one he rated the most was just mediocre. It was just a skilled technique and didn't look like a newcomer. He looks like a veteran, but even so he still lacks some firepower.
On the other hand, Ander picked up the red gold plate, brushed it with his hand, and then showed a look of surprise: "This one is good, the technique is quite sophisticated, and the foundation is incredibly solid. But..."
"but?"
Falaise looked at the other party in surprise.
"It seems that something is missing," Ander narrowed his eyes: "But I can't tell what is missing at the moment."
Falaise couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Could it be seen from the other person's eyes that he was deliberately trying to bluff him? "Show me again," he couldn't help but say. But Ender held up the red gold plate like an old naughty boy and replied, "That won't work. Haven't you already seen it?"
"You can't watch it again after you've seen it?" Falaise was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
Ander laughed, and then handed him the red gold plate: "To be honest, the formation on this plate is somewhat interesting." He said while stroking his beard. Somehow, it reminds me of my student who became a monk halfway.
He couldn't help but think to himself that with the other person's spirituality, if he trained for a year and a half in advance, he wouldn't be unable to recommend him to his old friend. It's a pity that although his student can do multiple parallels, he is only a combat craftsman after all.
He shook his head.
At this time, Falaise inspected the red gold plate and frowned. But he couldn't tell what was wrong with the red gold plate. He only felt a little awkward. Could it be that Ander was really joking?
At this moment, Ander suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I understand."
His voice startled Falaise. The latter couldn't help but tremble, and almost couldn't hold the red gold plate in his hand firmly. He turned back a little annoyed and asked, "What did you understand again?"
"It seems that the little guy who made this red gold plate still has some reservations." Ander's eyes changed and he answered confidently.
"Reserve?" Falaise didn't see it at all, but after all, he was not a professional formation mage, but he always felt that he could only listen to half of what his old friend said. Who would retain it in the competition? Either he is extremely confident, or he is extremely arrogant.
He doubtfully picked up the red gold plate. But at this moment, a waiter hurried over and handed a letter into Ander's hand.
When Ander looked at the letter, his thick eyebrows slightly raised, his smile faded, and his face turned serious.
Falaise looked at him and was about to ask. But Ander turned around and answered first: "Don't you want to meet that person?" He clapped the letter in his hand: "He came to Vanrick, and the letter said that he had selected an heir - old man. If you want to get the support of Rose Workshop, now is the best opportunity."
Although he said this, his snow-white eyebrows gathered together, looking thoughtful.
After hearing this, Falaise subconsciously put down the red gold plate in his hand. He knew that the person the other party was talking about was the current head of the Xilin-Spica family. Although he had been labeled as a traitor by the Prime Minister, he was actually still a member of the Rose Workshop.
While he was deep in thought, his mind no longer seemed to be focused on this game.
