"This time our opponent is the Ship of Nordinsh. You should be quite familiar with this opponent."
Although Soul Fingerprint said this, he still looked at Fang Plover. Fortunately, no matter how ignorant Fang Piao is, he has never heard of this guild.
He nodded quickly to the other party.
Everyone knew about his legendary origin as a "stowaway" and couldn't help but laugh at this scene.
Xiaoyao, who has the most lively temperament, can't help but make some strange expressions. But Shui Wuming glared at him so hard that the latter quickly put his expression back and pretended to be serious.
There are many old guilds in Europe, which are powerful in the traditional sense. However, in addition to the well-known twelve-color iris flower, there are four first-line guilds surrounding it.
SK, FNC, Nightcrawler, and Ship of Noddings, the strength of the four major unions seems to be very different. Further down are the Seven Alliances, the Saints of the Branches, and the Knights of the Golden Night.
These four first-line guilds, together with the Wild Knights, a free guild from overseas areas, are the five pillars of the second division and are collectively known as the Five Knights of Europe. The twelve-color iris is the supreme king.
The first opponent they faced this time, the Ship of Notting, was the leader of the Five Knights, the strongest among the top European giants.
"Except for the Empire and Gudasok, all other regions are the same as Kaolin-Ithurian, with four participating places." Luo Wei was afraid that he would not understand, so she explained on the side, "The Empire was the last one. The winner can have five recommendation qualifications, three in Gudasoke, plus four in the offshore area, and the six selection positions, a total of exactly thirty teams."
The outer sea area mentioned by Luo Wei does not refer to a specific area. Rather, it refers to the Imperial Harena Offshore Artisans Association, the Kaolin-Ithulian Gray Whale Offshore Artisans Association, the Giant Tree Hill Silver Island Chain Artisans Association, plus the Lotao Secret of the Stars Artisans Association. Four Guilds of Craftsmen.
These craftsmen's associations are located on the outer edge of the continent and are not governed by the main political power of the continent where they are located. Instead, they are independently governed by the Craftsmen's Federation. They formed a special force in previous mainland leagues and calculated points separately.
However, if the overseas regions are included, then each continent will have exactly five participating places, and the winner of the previous competition will have an extra one.
"Mimenos Craftsmen Association, do you know them?" Shui Wuming also asked him.
Fang Yu nodded, of course he had heard of the White Tree School. That is a rather peculiar branch of alchemy inheritance. Back then, the Numerin elves migrated to the Hill of Giant Trees and communicated with wild elves in the forest there, leaving behind two descendants of elves today.
One group is the Avenquin elves, who have been living in Korin-Ithurion since the Disaster of Itholin. The other branch is the shadow in the forest, the wood elf or tree elf. The people of the Gray Sacred Tree now mainly live in the Silver Tree Sea, Ravenriel and Sandshak.
Legend has it that this group of elves has a weak blood connection with the Numerin elves. Their talents in magic skills are enough to prove this. Wood Elf magicians are mainly divided into two schools, one is the blacksmith and the other is the druid.
Miss Attila is a druid.
Most of the forgers live in the Holy White Tree Palace - the elves build towering white oak houses among the towering giant trees, decorate their window lattice and vaults with exquisite white branches, prune out the palace, and It is called the land of the gods, Nulinari.
The elves of Nulinari master the skills of ancient blessings and fairies, and are especially good at forging magic items. They have created many beautiful and powerful holy objects in history. Jita has a magic ring called the Ring of Jorian, which is the work of the elves.
In addition, Sanshak's famous dagger was also forged in Nulinari three hundred years ago and came from the hands of the Elf King of that generation.
But not every wood elf has magic talent.
Usually only women have druid talents and are chosen as unicorn maidens for the White Tree Temple after reaching adulthood. And forgers are even rarer. In addition to the blood of the Elf King's court passed down from generation to generation, most forgers are also high-level court warlocks.
Ordinary elves are often affected by magical skills.
Enhui used the magic furnace and joined the ranks of contemporary alchemists. Alchemy was rapidly promoted in the Hill of Giant Trees about five hundred years ago and became mainstream, and the first craftsmen's guild was established in 672.
That is the Mimenos Craftsmen Guild.
In other words, the Baiyin Shuhai Chief Craftsmen Association.
The elves combined their own magic forging skills with alchemy to create their own extraordinary alchemy. That school was called the Silver Tree Sea School, or the White Tree School. Nowadays, the alchemists coming out of this school include both natives and chosen ones.
The headquarters of Noddingsh's Ship is located in the Sea of Silver Trees. Although there are some free-chosen alchemists from this craftsmen's guild, most of them come from the Notting Ship Guild.
Especially their opponents this time. Soul Fingerprint has distributed the information in his hand to everyone. The page is filled with information about their opponents, indicating the origin and origin of each player.
Except for one person who comes from the Free Guild, everyone else is from the Nodding Ship. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the team of the Nodding Ship Craftsman Guild.
"The Hill of Giant Trees is different from us," Luo Wei's voice was light and soft, very melodious, which did not match her appearance. "Grand Craftsmen will always be the home team of Corin-Ithulian, so we This team includes top players from various regions and guilds. However, the main team of Giant Tree Hill is not the Silver Tree Sea Chief Craftsmen Association, but the Sanshak Craftsmen Association."
"Why?" Guland couldn't help but asked in a low voice after hearing this.
He is from Istania and is aboriginal. He really doesn't know much about the outside world. In Corrin-Ithurian, the Grande Craftsmen's Guild is the undisputed core of each branch, even the Elfendor Council and the Eldron Craftsmen's Guild are one head behind.
The young man simply couldn't imagine that a continent's craftsmen would always fail to represent this region.
But Fang Plover was not surprised.
"The fairies of Roshiaan are here, and the headquarters of the Twelve-Colored Iris is also there."
In the Seven Seas Brigade.
Tianlan and Parker come from Sangshak, which is also the hometown of the Papalar people. The peculiar terrain there rises and falls like waves, forming a wave-like landscape. It is one of the most magnificent scenery under the sea of clouds. It has always been sung by bards -
That is the hill of floating clouds.
The Quvenral elves, a branch of the tree elves, live here. The Quelraven elves are called the Lightborn, and they are the only elves who participated in the battle with the Dark Dragon. The army they formed in that war had a resounding name in later generations.
The one who leads the light.
The first generation of Elf King Quvenral was the leader of the Light Leaders.
Holding one of the five dragon-slaying holy swords, the Elf King of Quvenral formed an alliance with the elves of Luoxiaan, joined the human alliance, and established legendary achievements in that war.
After the Lightbringers were disbanded, the Quvenral elves still maintained contact with humans. They built a city on the Floating Cloud Hill and mixed with humans. That city was Sanshak. After the goblins returned to Luoxian, a small number of tribesmen settled there.
Nowadays, commerce is flourishing there, it is a gathering place for human beings in the hill of giant trees, and it is also the economic center.
The Silver Tower in the Hill of Giant Trees is guarded by the Keepers of the Light Leader. The skills left by the fairies of Luoxiaan also made the Sandshak School the strongest school in the Hill of Giant Trees.
Many years ago.
The reputation of the Sanshak Craftsmen Association has surpassed that of the Silver Tree Sea Craftsmen Association.
But the key reason is actually the latter——
Because Twelve Color Iris can send the strongest craftsmen representatives from the second division to participate in the war, if other guilds want to achieve better results in the mainland league, they must naturally strive to have their main craftsmen join this home team.
"Some of the elves are born with magical talent. This talent will also appear in the selectors. Therefore, there are many elves selectors in the second division." Soul Fingerprint said this while pasting the information on his hand. Go to the erected whiteboard, "
You may have never experienced fighting against such an opponent before——"
"Six of the eight contestants of Nordingsh's Boat have magic talents. The selector of the Free Guild also has magic talents, and he is also the strongest Word of Nature. He should have squeezed out the talent that originally belonged to Nordingsh. The position of a player in Zhizhou, so the strength should be evident."
The elves applied their magic power to alchemy, and the White Tree School was born. This craft is far superior to other schools in terms of magic tools, plug-ins, purification, and seeking extreme values. It is somewhat similar to ancient alchemy, but it is not exactly the same.
As we all know, when a craftsman makes a magic device, plug-in or magic component, the attributes obtained by the finished product are in a floating range. It depends on the level of the maker, the degree of completion, the purity of the materials and even the inspiration during production.
The ancient alchemy of the Hall of Thousand Doors can perfectly circumvent material purification. At Fang Plover's level, he can even stably produce extreme attributes to a certain extent (depending on the complexity of the work).
But the most magical thing about the White Tree School is that it can transcend the extreme value and break through the limitations of the extreme value itself at the cost of giving up one attribute - the method of this breakthrough comes from the magic forging skills of the elves.
Therefore, this craft is also called transcendent craft.
Theoretically speaking, people with higher magical talent will be more proficient in this craft.
The craftsmen of every White Tree School in the Continental League have always been the toughest opponents for the Kaolin-Ithurians and the Imperials. As the second strongest of the Giant Tree Hill, the Guild of the Ship of Notting is certainly not groundless. .
The Grande Craftsmen Association undoubtedly got off to a good start.
The soul fingerprint pointed at the other people on the paper, "But except for the selector of this free guild, the other six people don't need to be so worried. There is no one-in-one magic talent. Since the people of Noddings' Boat have chosen Focusing on magic talent, one must make a trade-off in terms of craftsmanship level.”
"This can also be seen from the data analysis. Their crystal craftsmen are not as good as Silver Vislan's Xiaoyao. The plug-in craftsmen are not as good as Wu Cun, the construction craftsmen are far inferior to MTT, and the magic craftsmen are also slightly inferior to Mulan. Needless to say, potions master and elf user.”
She glanced at Gu Lande and Luo Wei.
The young man was a little introverted and lowered his head.
But Luo Wei seemed very indifferent, which made Fang Yu couldn't help but look at this senior student with admiration. Senior Luo Wei is usually gentle and approachable, but in her own field, she seems to be very confident.
However, the subject of Soul Fingerprint changed.
"These six people are inferior to us in every aspect. But that doesn't mean we can take it lightly. After all, data is dead, but people are alive. We can't rule out the possibility that Nodding's Boat is hiding something. In addition, , these three all-around players..."
She paused for a long moment.
"These three all-around players show no magic talent on the table. It is impossible to determine whether they have not shown it or really do not have it. However, I must remind everyone that players without magic talent can enter this team. It is a silent declaration of strength in itself.”
The soul fingerprint focused on one of them.
"Especially this person, the Time Walker, the commander of the Ship of Nordingsh. He is not from the White Tree School, but he can become the main craftsman of the Ship of Nordingsh and be included in this list. What does it mean, you can decide for yourself Imagine."
"He has participated in two main competitions, showing that he has outstanding talent in the magic furnace classification of large-scale installations and the city barrier classification. As for other aspects, almost nothing is unknown."
"Magic furnace."
Fang Yu thought of his work in the Southern Territory Competition. He was a crystal craftsman and was involved in the field of aerospace ships. He had some knowledge of magic furnaces.
But in terms of city enchantment, he is really a bit numb. City enchantments are the most special type among all large-scale devices. They are not like large-scale magic furnaces. They have some intersections with aerospace ships and crystal craftsmen, and can draw parallels.
As for large city boundaries, it has been a completely independent gate almost since its creation.
kind. It was first developed from the category of war machines, and the "Mobius" Mobile Fortress falls under this category.
But later, war machines have been divided into two categories: large structures and aerospace ships, and urban enchantments have also become a series of their own. Among the alchemists of Aitaria, those who are good at urban enchantment are truly rare, and most of them are indigenous people, and there are even fewer selected ones.
Even Fang Plover was a little surprised to hear that there was an enchantment craftsman among the participating teams of Notting's Boat.
He thought to himself that the world was so big and full of wonders.
But Fang Yu looked at the soul fingerprint again. If the other party had such a barrier craftsman, it would really not be good news for them.
If the other party chooses large-scale installations or city enchantment categories, should they deal with it?
Who will be sent to deal with it?
Even whether the people from the Ship of Notting will send time walkers to play is a headache for everyone in the Grand Craftsmen Association.
The mainland league main game is very different from the southern competition. First of all, there are no prohibited categories in the competition. Instead, the participating teams each choose two items, and the craftsmen in the designated categories participate.
Each team has nine contestants, and each contestant can only participate in one event. There are four events in each game, and every two games are one round. One person can have a bye, but the two rounds of byes cannot be for the same person.
In addition, there are three free positions in each team, that is, the leader. The leader can participate in any category of projects, but is still subject to the restriction that each craftsman can only participate in one project.
In other words, in the fifteen rounds of competition with twenty-nine teams, each team has to consider not only the outcome of the first half, but more importantly, the strategy of the second half.
If you use up all the libero positions in the first half, then your opponent in the next game will naturally designate you for the corresponding vacant positions. Although most alchemists specialize in one category, they can also master many other categories by analogy, just like crystal craftsmen are not completely incapable of flexible construction.
But in the Mainland China League, the opponents you compete with are all the top players in this field. A slightly inferior team on weekdays will show a huge points difference here.
The twenty-nine games are cumulative points.
If the strategy is wrong in too many games, it will drag down the team points and even affect the personal results of the craftsmen who rush to play. Although in the final stage of the Continental League, the Battle of the Holy King almost entirely depends on the personal level of the craftsmen.
But in the previous knockout rounds, team points and individual points were eliminated in both directions. In other words, although the probability is very low, it is still possible for a top craftsman to leave the field early because the team is lagging behind.
In Fang Plover's view, the average level of the Grande Craftsman Association team is online, and there is no concern that it will be eliminated due to insufficient team points. However, if the points obtained in the second round are too low, you will be very passive after the Twin Towers Trial.
This time, the third division assigned so many top analysts to come here with this in mind.
But what surprised him was that Soul Fingerprint seemed to have not thought of this at all and directly ignored the topic.
She commented on every player in the Nordings' Boat, and after Bi Fang's additions, she directly made a conclusion. The top analyst from Ragnarok stopped to look at everyone and said:
"But after all, the second round is just an appetizer for the Continental League. The Twin Towers Trial is the key. The final battle of the Holy King can only depend on your own luck. In this round of competition, the Ship of Nordinsh I shouldn’t try my best, and the same goes for you.”
Soul Fingerprint glanced at Fang Plover emphatically: "Especially you, Ed, don't be so stupid as to reveal your background. And -"
Something suddenly occurred to her.
"...Stop treating everyone like fools."
This statement elicited a low chuckle.
Fang Plover's face was as red as a monkey's butt. His behavior of "hiding clumsiness" to control points in the Southern League had obviously spread throughout the entire Cowling-Ithurian community.
He once thought he
It was a genius design. Looking back now, I just wish I could stab myself to death.
…
"Everyone! Gentlemen and ladies! Our opponent is out," Karl pushed open the door to the hall and shouted excitedly inside, causing everyone to turn around and look at him.
The young man shook a piece of paper in his hand excitedly and made a clattering sound.
"It's the Craftsmen's Guild from Lotao. It's pretty strong. We're lucky."
The tall African-American young man looked at him and shook his head, "The opponent is very strong, what are you happy about?"
"Of course I'm happy," Carl replied, "Didn't Trish say that this is the first game, and it affects our attention in this competition. What's the point of being a one-sided abuser? Besides, there is The boss is here, what are you afraid of..."
He paused, "By the way, where is Trish?"
The African-American young man took a step back, and then Karl saw the brown-haired girl with a sulky expression among the crowd.
Cui Xisi crumpled a piece of paper in her hand into a ball and threw it aside angrily.
When Karl saw that the piece of paper was clearly the same as the one in his hand, he realized that it was because he was late with the news. He couldn't help but ask, "So you already knew this, so what happened?"
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you," the African-American young man replied, "The people Trixis is angry with are Prometheus people."
"Prometheus?" Carl was stunned, "What happened to them?"
The African-American young man sighed.
"Trish planned to sow discord between them and the Corin-Ithurians and cause some trouble for Mr. Dragon Alchemist. You should still remember this, right?"
"Remember," Carl replied, "What's wrong, the people in Prometheus were also educated by that guy?"
"It would be great if that were the case," Trish replied angrily, "Compared to that guy, I wish the people of Prometheus would suffer a little bit, but those cowards don't dare to accept the challenge!"
"ah?"
The African-American young man winked at Karl and told him not to get into trouble at this time.
He changed the subject and said, "Trish, I think this matter may not be that simple."
The brown-haired girl was angry, but she calmed down after hearing these words, and her eyebrows were drawn together, as if she was thinking. She turned back and looked at the other party, "I seem to have remembered it too. Irs of Prometheus went to Corrin-Ishulian and went with the Marines to perform a mission. After he came back, he With a mysterious look——"
"In terms of time, that guy happened to be in Istania at that time. Did something happen in the meantime?"
Trixis tapped her chin with her finger, "No wonder those guys in Prometheus look timid. They don't usually look like this. Irs have met that person? But it doesn't make sense. ..."
She suddenly thought of a possibility that seemed incredible to her, and her eyes widened.
Karl and the tall African-American young man obviously thought of this at the same time, and they couldn't help blurting out: "No way?"
"Will the dragon knight suffer in the hands of a high-level combat craftsman?" Trixis reacted immediately and glanced at the two of them with disdain, "Can you have some knowledge, but something extremely interesting must have happened in Istania... "
She looked interested, "We have to find a way to find someone to find out what Irs did in Istania."
The young African-American man hesitated to speak.
Karl couldn't help shouting, "Trish, you're crazy, that was an action by the military!"
This is a problem.
The brown-haired girl's thin eyebrows wrinkled.
…
Bavaland.
This is a legendary city famous for its production of a special fluorescent agave. The Oshu people extracted a fluorescent ink from it, this magical ink
Water has now been widely circulated among alchemists in various continents, and is one of the most important foreign trade commodities of the Oshur Empire.
Bavaria is located on the southern border of the empire, next to the agave forest. Passing through that forest is the famous Sintaan Fault Zone - the Great Rift Valley.
Further south, there is a wild land outside the empire's rule.
But this city is not unknown at all because it is located on the border. On the contrary, it is the busiest trade node in the southern part of the empire - one of the terminal points of the route from Xinta'an to Gudasok.
This is usually one of the areas where you can see the most Saurus people in the entire empire.
At this moment, Bavalan is a different scene. The entire city has been decorated with curtains like clouds, and long promotional banners are hung on the huge magic airship.
On one side is the silver lily logo of the Grand Craftsmen Association, and on the other side is the sacred white giant tree from the sea of trees.
The cheers on the square even faintly reached the players' lounge.
The leader of the Notting Ship looked at his team members, and finally set his sights on the young man sitting at the end of the lounge.
"Let's go," he said, "This is your first game, and you already know the characteristics of your opponent. Whether you can win or not depends on your performance on the field."
"Kula," a young man standing next to him suddenly said, "Which side do you think the Imperial people outside are more optimistic about?"
The young man who spoke is the time traveler.
The person he was talking to was not their team leader, but also the young man sitting in the lounge.
The young man lowered his head to check the elastic band on his magic gloves. After listening to Time Walker's words, he raised his head and looked at him, "Maybe they are all the same."
He thought for a moment and replied.
The young man's reaction seemed to be very slow, and he spoke carefully, "People in the empire may not have heard of the Dragon Alchemist, especially in the southern border of the empire... Didn't you also hear about it before coming to Xinta'an? ?」
"As for us," the young man thought for a moment, "they probably have never heard of us. I wonder if that guy Forin has any reputation here."
"Pity."
The time traveler looked in the direction of the door.
"If this was the second half of the first round," he said, "maybe we could give each other a surprise. Unfortunately, it's the first half, so we don't need to give latecomers a chance."
The boy didn't answer.
Clearly not interested in the topic.
The time traveler had already taken a deep breath and put his hand on the doorknob under the gaze of the leader.
Then he pushed open the door and walked out——
The sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came towards my face.
…
