"Boss, the game has begun."
"Watching." Su Changfeng replied: "Each group is optimistic about the entrance and exit of the stadium and will take action as soon as the game is over."
"Understood," the rustling voice in the communication crystal stopped for a while, and then said: "Boss, why don't we take action now, anyway, they should stop here."
"You really think so?"
"Boss, you don't think he can win the championship, do you?"
Su Changfeng's tone was very calm: "Didn't you watch the scene in El Paxin?"
"But no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person, and the young man Elfendor is also checking his origins... He and the alchemist Fenris still have goals. If we want to rank them, the goals should be at the bottom. Right?"
"Then who's in first place?"
"Of course it's the alchemist from Fenris, but..."
Su Changfeng couldn't help but smile.
"Just see." He replied calmly.
There is still a quarter of an hour before the start of the game——
The crowd in the square suddenly started to move, like ripples caused by a pebble falling into water, spreading out in circles.
The huge crowd was squeezing to the left and right to separate.
Fang Plover saw a team entering from the north of the square from a distance. He recognized the girl named Vikki from the crowd at the first glance. She seemed a little absent-minded, followed by the squinty-eyed boy wearing glasses. Fang Plover was more impressed by the latter's learning ability than the former. Better yet.
He had met these two people once in El Paxin. As for the others, he didn't remember them so clearly. He could only vaguely see a few familiar faces.
The people from the ancient pagoda have arrived.
In addition to them, the people from the Shadow Throne were also here. Fang Yu glanced in that direction again, but he couldn't see the other party clearly through the crowd. He recalled that he actually didn't have much impression of the contestants of that team.
Before he could see the people from the Shadow Throne, the next team had already entered.
That was Elfendor's team.
The leader is naturally Luo Lin.
This very handsome young man looked up at the field as he entered the field, and this glance aroused a lot of discussion. Even if people didn’t know it before, they now know each other’s deeds through word of mouth:
In the dragon-slaying battle of Idos, he received the dragon shooting spear from the top master craftsman at the critical moment and killed the evil dragon Tolagothos.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, and he was far from completing the dragon slaying alone, there are several dragon-slaying warriors in this era, and this is already a contemporary heroic story. People can't help but think of the deeds of the last dragon-slaying hero Yue Xiude.
And at this time, the local team in Elfendor will certainly be able to get more support.
The atmosphere in the square was high for a while, and many spectators shouted the name Luo Lin enthusiastically.
To be honest, Mu Lan also wanted to join in.
"I bet," said Chickpea, "there's so much shilling here, it's really an IQ tax."
Only to have the former turn back and glare at him with gritted teeth.
Fang Yu looked at his communication crystal.
Before Parker and the box received any news, Tianlan sent him an encouraging message: "Brother Ed, come on, charge the duck!"
It also comes with an exaggerated expression——
He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw it.
He then put away the communication crystal and took another look at the direction of Elfondo's team. Of course, Luo Lin is not the only one on the other side. There are also three equally outstanding young people, two of whom are selectors and one is an aborigine.
The aborigine is called Lin En, who is twenty-one years old. He entered the Hall of Thousand Doors three years ago and now works in the Elfendor Ministry of Magic, but he is really good at the crystal field.
Except for Linn, the two selectors are not top-notch. This is why Earl Xilin-Spika is trying to prevent others from taking the lead. It can be seen that the other party has taken great pains to promote his students.
After Elfendor's team, Grande's team has yet to enter the venue.
Fang Yu turned around and saw Liu Liyue frowning all the time. He couldn't help but said with relief: "Don't worry, you are not the only one from the Silver Forest Spear in this team of the Artisan Association."
This was said so lightly that Liu Liyue was very dissatisfied: "You also said before that you don't need to participate in the main competition."
Fang Yu quickly laughed: "This is not the main game."
Several other people couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Liyue rolled her eyes.
Fang Yu quickly added: "Really, don't you believe we can make a bet?"
Liu Liyue turned around: "What kind of bet?"
Fang Yu suddenly thought of a wonderful prank idea: "Whoever loses will name his work 'I am a pigeon' later."
But he immediately stopped laughing——
…
Ten minutes later.
The three players from Silver Forest Spear looked at Liuliyue with interest and joked: "Liuli, why are you here to participate in this competition?"
"Do you want to change your profession to an alchemist?"
"Liu Li, you are surrendering to the enemy and treason."
Several people burst into laughter.
Liu Liyue only gave these people a standard answer in her heart. Then he turned back with a dark face, looked at Fang Plover expressionlessly and asked:
"...What were you betting on just now?"
Fang Plover was dumbfounded.
What frightened him even more was that a beautiful lady came out from behind the players over there and greeted them with a smile:
"Okay, Ed, and Liu Liyue."
"Ms. Hongye."
"how?"
"You, are you here to participate in this competition too?"
Hongye couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this: "Why are you so afraid?"
"Have it?"
"Oh? You mean you didn't reply to my message before on purpose?"
Fang Plover quickly shook his head.
"Okay, I won't argue with you," Hongye said with a smile, "See you on the field later."
She raised her hand and made a neck-cutting gesture to Fang Plover - which meant that she would look good on you later.
Since the players from both sides could not communicate too much on the field, the staff there had already walked over and signaled both sides to go away. Fang Yu watched the other party disappear into the crowd, then turned back to Liu Liyue with a bit of embarrassment:
"That...actually, those are not all Silver Forest Spear people."
"Really, look, isn't Hongye your old rival? As long as you think so, your opponent is actually Tapolis..."
Liu Liyue looked at him as if he were an idiot and replied:
"Remember that."
"What?"
"I am a dove."
Fang Yu almost fell to the ground after hearing this.
However, after several teams entered the field one after another, the game finally entered the final preparation stage. The official introduced the personnel of all parties on the stage. When Luo Lin was introduced, there was a roar of cheers in the square.
Then the old speaker came to the stage and introduced the long history of alchemy in the South to everyone in a slow tone, which made everyone feel sleepy. But in the middle of his words, the conversation suddenly changed: "I think you all must be curious, why did Elfendor change the format of this last game?"
"As we all know, in Kaulin-Ishulian, the selection before the main game of the Continental League has a long history. It is used to select talents for the main game and to check for leaks and fill vacancies——"
"And the reason why we let the participating teams from the main competition also participate in this final is to show off the style of the alchemists in the south. At the same time, it is also because the Elfendor Council hopes to show off the alchemy of Corin-Ithurion. The world is doing its best."
"So I declare," he paused before speaking slowly: "The winner of this competition will have the opportunity to enter the heart of the Elffindor Spire."
As soon as the old speaker said this.
It was as if a gentle breeze was blowing across the square, making it quiet.
"what did he say?"
"Elfendor's Spire Heart?"
Everyone was talking about it for a while, and most people had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
However, most of the people discussing it were locals from the south. As for the guests from the north, most of them were confused. Fang Plover couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Who knows what Elffindor's Spire Heart is?"
Everyone shook their heads.
But suddenly, he received a message - it was from Sylvide. There was only one sentence on it: "Ed, you must win and find a way to enter the heart of the spire."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask the noble daughter what the Heart of the Spire was. But it was at this time that the silent soul fingerprint on the side took a breath and said: "The heart of the spire is the core area of Elfendor."
"The core area of Elfendor? Are there any benefits to entering there?" Chickpea asked after hearing this.
"I heard that there is an ice feldspar placed there," Soul Fingerprint replied softly. As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the tall tower at the end of the square, looking straight into the sky: "That's not just Elfendor's. The core of power is also the core of the entire city of Vanrik——"
"Generally speaking, Elfendor's alchemists will never let outsiders enter," she turned back: "The ice feldspar is not only a magic core, but also a storage device, which stores alchemy. The lifetime work and knowledge of the first ten generations of Elfendor founders.”
"It is even said that the knowledge inside is related to the Silver Tower, but no one has confirmed this. But in any case, those who enter it only need to obtain a unique knowledge and skill from the ice feldspar, which is enough. The benefits are endless.”
"With so much knowledge," Chickpea asked, "Won't the alchemist of Elfandor keep it for himself?"
But Soul Fingerprint shook his head: "It is not that easy to open the ice feldspar. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources - and the other party also said that there is only a certain chance of entering it. It is not that easy to get the approval of the Spire Heart." "
After hearing this, Fang Yu finally understood why Sylvester would rush to send him such a message. It was the secret treasure of the Elfendor Council, and it was related to the Silver Tower. Maybe there was something related to the Fairy Dragon hidden in it. Information about knights.
Moreover, the Silver Tower is related to Miss Tata, so he has to fight for it no matter what.
But something suddenly occurred to him and he quietly sent a message back: "Is this also your arrangement?"
The other side immediately replied: "No, I asked Master Ander, this is Pudra's suggestion."
Fang Yu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
After the old speaker made these remarks, he stopped making shocking remarks. He only raised his hand to signal that the game had officially begun.
Then the teams from all sides began to draft topics - the so-called draft, everyone arranged for the chickpea who claimed to be the best character to draw lots, and ended up getting the third-ranked topic order. It was not very good, but it was not bad either. Too bad.
The first pick is the Guta people's team, the second pick is the Grand Craftsmen Association, and the local teams of Shadow Throne and Elfendor seem to be more unlucky, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.
After getting the order, all parties immediately started selecting topics, and without wasting much time, five questions appeared on the projection in the sky.
But as soon as they saw these five questions, there was an uproar in the square.
Among the five questions, Gutaren’s choice was quite satisfactory, plug-in production-all-seeing plug-in.
According to Liu Liyue, the Silver Forest Spear people took their longest item, crystal production-the main core crystal.
After that, everyone from Ragnarok, under the leadership of Fang Plover, once again took out the magic potion - the total solution potion without hesitation. This topic was naturally prepared for Dill.
But these three questions are nothing.
What really stunned all the spectators in the square was the question presented by the teams of Throne of Shadows and Elfendor:
The Shadow Throne, a large magic weapon, and a dual-purpose magic furnace.
Elfendor, the elf user, has a flame-type structure.
As soon as the two questions came out, the teams from the Guta people and the Grande Craftsmen Association stood up from their seats at the same time, looking at the scene in the air with a somewhat serious expression.
The live broadcast room was even more excited:
"The big move is coming!"
"Holy crap, a large magic device!"
"Fairy Envoy!"
The wandering horse felt a thump in his heart.
Generally speaking, in the Continental League, the contestants on both sides are basically young people, so the competition rarely involves the three very special fields of goblins, dragon knights and large magic tools.
Participants generally compete on basic skills in other more common fields, such as crystals, magic tools, potions, plug-ins and flexible construction, but there is no precedent for this.
There have been several situations like this in history, which are called "big moves" because they are used only if they are not used, and they are fatal when used. Because teams that are good at any one of the three fields of 'Dragon Knight', 'Fairy User' and 'Large Magic Weapon' have probably worked hard in this area. Once they are taken out, they will be subject to the ban rules of the main game. Next time, you probably won’t be able to see it.
Therefore, such games usually occur in the finals. But looking at the history of the mainland league, apart from those cases of fraud, real "big moves" are actually rare. After all, these three fields are too difficult. It is not an ordinary team and it is impossible to make achievements in these three fields.
In history, most of the teams that have used the 'ultimate move' are also top teams themselves. The last time Cowling-Ishulian made a big move in the Continental League was at least ten years ago.
The team with the most big recruits in history is actually the team from the Oshu Empire. Often there will be such a top team every two or three times, sweeping the competition and winning the championship with an attitude of crushing all living beings.
Including the stray horses, people never expected to see the emergence of big recruits in the finals of such a selection competition.
And two at a time.
Fairy user and large magic weapon.
People almost instinctively realized that if the teams of Shadow Throne and Elfendor were not cheating, the remaining three teams would basically be in danger in such a game. At this moment, most people in the live broadcast room had this thought in their minds almost immediately:
"Is the team actually going to lose in the main draw...?"
"No way?"
The expressions on everyone's faces in Ragnarok's team were even more ugly.
The so-called dual-purpose magic furnace type VII is actually the abbreviation of the magic furnace for ship/large equipment, and this large equipment magic furnace actually refers to a very special type of magic weapon - the dragon gun.
Dual-purpose magic furnace type VII is actually one of the magic furnaces specially designed for dragon strike guns. Except for a small amount of use on seventh-level aerial ships, its only use is to make dragon strike guns.
And for alchemists like them, who has the chance to touch something like a dragon shooting gun? Not to mention touching, I have never seen it.
Everyone thought of one person almost at the same time.
That was the genius alchemist of Elfendor, the dragon-slaying hero passed down from word to mouth, Luo Lin.
"There is definitely something wrong with the Throne of Shadows," Chickpea said with a gloomy face: "We met this team in the qualifiers, and they knew nothing about the Dragon Shooter. This topic was basically chosen for Elfendor's gang. .”
Soul Fingerprint said nothing, only looking at Fang Plover with some concern.
Fang Yu just looked at the arena silently, and he was almost certain in his heart that his teacher's judgment was accurate, and that the Shadow Throne and Luo Lin were from the same group. Seeing him deep in thought, everyone thought that he didn't know how to make such a magic furnace, and their hearts sank even more.
But they don't blame Fang Plover. After all, the teams in the main competition won't be able to pick anyone who can do this.
However, Mu Lan still had a bit of optimism and comforted everyone: "Forget it, let alone the magic furnace of the dragon gun, no one knows how to use the fairy. If the other party dares to ask these two questions, they must have it. 100% sure.”
After hearing her words, everyone felt a little dissatisfied, but they still had to admit that this was indeed the case.
Flame-type constructions are considered to be a more complex type of fairy constructions. The other party can make such constructions, which means that at least they are not ignorant in the field of fairy craftsmanship. They can even be called relatively professional fairy craftsmen.
"I heard that Count Xilin Spica planned to let Luo Lin be his student," Mulan couldn't help but add: "No wonder, the Rose Workshop is famous for being a fairy user. If I have this ability, I can do it too." Become the Earl’s student.”
But before she could finish her words, she saw Fang Yu walking up to Cui Yu and gently patted the latter's shoulder:
"Cui Yu, you go first for the first round of plug-in production."
"The second round, Liuliyue."
"Round three, Dill."
After that, he turned back to look at everyone and said word by word: "Try to bring out your best—I will do the fourth and fifth rounds."
Fang Yu paused slightly and then said: "Don't be discouraged, we have a great chance of winning."
Mu Lan looked at him with her mouth wide open.
There is only one thought in my mind:
How to win?
