In the second round, Mu Lan faced off against a female alchemist from Noddingsh's Ship.
Mu Lan chose a sword-shaped weapon, while the other party chose a rare category - a crystal lamp. In Aitaria, magic tools are a very broad concept. In theory, all non-disposable magic items created by magic skills and alchemy can be called magic tools.
But generally speaking, in the field of craftsmen, magic craftsmen refer to alchemists who make all magic equipment except plug-ins, crystals (magic furnaces), constructs, and large devices. It has two main categories, one is the war tool craftsmen who can use the war tools only with the corresponding magic aptitude, and the other is the magic tools (or magic tools) that can also be used by ordinary people. Magic craftsman.
The sword-type combat equipment that Mu Lan chose was one of the categories of combat equipment.
Sword-type combat equipment is still one of the most common types of combat equipment in the world. Warrior professionals, including shield guards, berserkers, swordsmen (great swordsmen), magic swordsmen, and even some knights will use this type of weapon.
At the same time, Nightingale and Ranger will also use sword-shaped magic weapons as backup weapons.
Choosing such a type of competition often means that it is not easy to stand out, but it also means stability. The upper limit is not high, but the lower limit is also not low. Judging from her performance in the Southern Border Competition, Mu Lan is not a craftsman who specializes in this field, so her intention in choosing this route is very obvious——
She had no intention of showing her full strength in the first game.
Fang Yu looked at Wu Cun again. It was obvious that the main craftsman of Silver Forest Crown did not give his best in the first game. Of course, the people on the other side of Notting's Ship must be the same.
But the level displayed between the two was already quite high, at least not lower than the main match between the Southern League champions, and this was only the first game of the Mainland League. He looked towards the Notting's Boat again. The female alchemist chose the giraffe lamp that was exactly the opposite of the wooden blue one.
The glow crystal lamp is a magic tool that can be seen everywhere in Aitaria's daily life. But being common in life does not mean that it is common in competitions. It is relatively rare to use such common alchemy items as entries in competitions of the level of the Continental League.
Ming looked at it for a moment and suddenly said: "That little girl is not very good at crystal. You can pay attention to it. But she must be very talented in magic."
Fang Yu looked at Virus on the side in surprise. Ms. Ming always likes to leave half of her words behind, but fortunately Virus doesn't have such a problem.
"There is such a possibility." Virus replied calmly, "When making plug-ins and magic devices, some crystal knowledge is often involved. There are very few craftsmen who are completely incompatible with each other. But the wick crystal of the sphinx lamp can be used Finished crystals often do not involve crystal production in other parts, so the other party may choose this category to capitalize on its strengths and avoid weaknesses."
"...and such a player with obvious flaws in one aspect would be selected to participate in such a competition, then he must have other strengths in other aspects. Considering that the opponent is an alchemist of the White Tree School, then this guess The possibility of establishment is not small.”
Unexpectedly, just by choosing a category, there are so many doorways in it, which is an eye-opener for Fang Yu.
He really didn't understand the part that Virus mentioned. There are thousands of categories of alchemy, and even he had never paid attention to the knowledge in a small glowing crystal lamp.
This is not to say that Virus and Ming Dabo are complicated, but they are rich in experience. They have obviously seen many such tricks in various strange competitions. If you look at other professional analysts who are talented but not as knowledgeable, you may not be able to tell this from this detail.
"Let Bifang and the others write this down first," Soul Fingerprint said, "wait for the game to see if we can confirm this. The opponent is not on the main roster. It seems to be the weakest link of Noddings' Boat. .”
As the women talked, they decided on the subsequent strategy for Notting's Ship.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
The game didn't last long, even faster than the one with Wu Cun.
Different projects naturally have different competition rules. As the smallest component of alchemy products, plug-ins require players to start from the step of material purification and complete the finished product step by step.
However, the magic guide is much more complicated, so players can choose some finished parts as components - such as the wick crystal of the sprite lamp. Otherwise, one hour may not be enough for the players to process the materials and carve the magic circle.
This major test is the player's familiarity with different magic weapons. In this regard, Mu Lan and the female contestant from Notting Ship are on par with each other. The difference in the completion scores of their works is only within 0.3 points.
As expected, the female player showed extraordinary talent in magical power, and was even better than Mu Lan in it. But Mu Lan also used ancient alchemy from the same school as Wu Cun, and finally the degree of completion was not too far behind.
In terms of basic skills, Mulan completely surpasses its opponents - as the data shows, whether it is assembly accuracy, raw material handling level or craftsmanship, Mulan scores higher than its opponents in every aspect.
In the end, she also scored 39.7 points, significantly ahead of her opponent's 35.2 points.
However, Mu Lan, who came off the stage, had no expression on his face. Instead, he was a little annoyed. He bit his lip and complained: "It's not more than forty points. I should have known better that I shouldn't have kept so many hands."
"Don't pay so much attention to the score in the first game," Virus comforted her, "Well done."
Mu Lan looked at the iceberg goddess in surprise, perhaps because she didn't expect that she had such a side.
"You are my people now."
Virus looked at her and replied calmly, "I'm satisfied with beating my opponent, and I don't want any extra burden."
Mu Lan was a little excited.
"I feel so safe with Senior Virus," she said quietly to the others after coming down, "Wu Ming, are you usually like this?"
Shui Wuming looked at her and smiled, "What, if you are envious, you can jump here? Ragnarok's main craftsman, Sister Virus, is so excited. Why are you worried that Elite can't afford the transfer fee?"
Mu Lanlian glanced at the soul fingerprint in shock, stuck out her tongue and said, "That's fine." She just said that Ragnarok treated her well, and she had no dissatisfaction.
Grande will always win two games in a row here. Although the outcome is just a statement, and in the end it depends on the total points from the main round, the Notting Ship still called a timeout for a few minutes.
However, the leader of the Notting Ship did not panic much, and the current situation was quite expected. The average level of the home team of Cowlin-Ithurians is not weak. From the data point of view, Fanner and Eve It’s not a surprise that Rei didn’t win the first two games.
The performance of both sides is still within the standard.
"The points difference is 7.5 points, which is a bit too much," the leader of the Notting Boat said to the others: "Time, then you go ahead. I don't ask you to get the points back in one game, but try to narrow the point difference." Closer."
He looked in the direction behind him and added: "Your opponent is most likely the Dragon Alchemist. According to the information we have shown, he should not be good at city enchantment. You have a great chance. The more you grasp, the better Big, Kula has a chance to help us win this game."
Time Walker nodded.
He is a person who likes to be in the limelight. He comes to such an arena just for this moment. As for the team leader, he doesn't care at all. It is good that the opponent does not know the field that he is good at, but even if he does, so what?
The situation on the field did not affect his mentality at all. He simply liked the thunderous cheers for himself. The atmosphere of the competition made him excited. It seemed that such an occasion was born for a competition type like him. Players are prepared the same way.
He walked up to the stage, looked at the Grand Club, took the initiative to hook his finger at Fang Plover, and said provocatively: "Hey, it's your turn."
Many people on the field noticed this.
The audience in the stands liked this kind of occasion, and they immediately burst into cheers and whistles.
The media from the other side of the Star Gate also heard the news and asked what the competition needed - although the excitement of the competition was one aspect, topicality was also essential. Their favorite was a player like Time Walker.
But Fang Yu looked at the guy with a bit of sympathy.
I always feel that the other person's mind may be a little unclear.
He actually wanted to speak and tell this guy that your opponent is not me. But before that, Weiyu had finished communicating with Ms. Ming, got up and walked out of the players' rest area, walking towards the Time Walker.
Time Walker looked at the strange young man walking up and was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wei Yu, then at Fang Plover, and finally at Wei Yu. His mind seemed to have been distracted for a moment, and he blurted out: "Who are you?"
"As you can see, your opponent." Weiyu replied.
"Wait a minute," Time Walker opened his mouth, pointed at Fang Plover and said, "You are my opponent, then who is he?"
Weiyu looked back and didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but she still answered truthfully:
"As you can see, he is my teammate."
"Don't talk nonsense," but Time Walker always felt that the other party was making fun of him, and said angrily: "Of course I know, but why is it you...?"
Ah this?
Weiyu probably felt that the other party's brain was not working well at this time, but he still replied politely: "...I don't know very well. Maybe the coaching staff thinks I can beat you, but if you are interested in this, maybe Should I go for consultation?”
What a waste of time for him to consult!
Will Cowling-Ithurian's men inform him of their tactical arrangements?
Time Walker always feels like he has been fooled for once.
At this moment, the media's guns and recording crystals were all swept towards this side. At the same time, the picture in the projection crystal on the field also changed, and the figures of the two people just appeared on the screen. A completely nonsensical conversation.
There was silence in the audience at first, and then bursts of laughter broke out.
Weiyu also frowned and spoke proactively for the first time: "Enough time has been wasted. If you don't plan to compete, why don't you go to the referee's bench over there and declare a forfeit?"
Time Walker's face was a little confused, and he immediately protested to the referee team on the side: "The contestants from the Grande General League spoke inappropriately, and I want to appeal!"
The referee looked at Weiyu and warned: "Competitors from the Grande General League, please be careful not to induce the other players to give up the game. This is a warning."
Weiyu shrugged.
This farce came to an end. Naturally, there was no friendly interaction between the two parties. They passed each other and walked to their own workbench.
Time Walker stood still in front of his workbench, looked at Weiyu again, and mocked: "I hope your hands are as tough as your mouth."
You can't help but ridicule on the field, as long as it doesn't distract the opponent. In fact, the organizers hope that the competition will be more topical. Only with topics can it be spread more widely to achieve the purpose of promoting the event.
Coming from the Grand Guild of Time Walkers, he is naturally familiar with this. He is not really on top, but is just the habit of players in the first and second divisions.
However, Weiyu was not affected at all. He didn't even look at the other person. He just immersed himself in his own world. He lowered his head and spread out the components on the workbench one by one, and then selected the part he needed.
The two sides have already decided on the topic——
Protective barrier, air-forbidden device.
heard this question.
The time traveler suddenly raised his head and felt something was wrong.
He was originally focused on Fang Plover. Although he also knew that there were one or two powerful characters on the Kaolin-Ithulian home team, he preconceptionally thought that his opponent was the Dragon Alchemist, so he ignored the others.
When the whisper comes out. He also once thought that the other party was using a strategy of lowering the enemy's strength to defeat the upper group's intelligence, and planned to use a 'cannon fodder' to match his own.
But it wasn’t until this moment that the time traveler became alert——
The three categories of large devices, aerostats and fairies are considered to be the weakest in ordinary craftsman competitions, but in the main stage of the Continental League, they can only be regarded as strange moves. The city barrier is a strange move among strange moves.
But within this weird trick within a weird trick, there are a few more idiosyncratic things. The first is the three forbidden areas, the forbidden air area, the forbidden magic area, and the forbidden teleportation area. Together with identifying the mystery, the self-healing array, and the sanctuary, they are recognized in the alchemy world as the four major problems in the enchantment.
The core of the forbidden air field among the three restricted areas is the forbidden air device. It is actually an anti-Gay device. Its function is to exclude the wind element in the area and reduce it from the normal level to the level where it cannot be gathered. degree.
In this area, all means of floating and flying that use the wind element are invalid. It is usually used to defend the outer and inner city walls of the city, so it is called the forbidden air area.
Barrier craftsmen are rare.
The craftsmen trained by the guild generally only specialize in protective barriers, because these large-scale urban shields can generally be used for the guild's resident protection. Therefore, some large guilds will more or less train several protective barrier craftsmen.
Such is the case with the Time Walkers themselves.
However, the barrier craftsmen who understand the forbidden air device are rare among the rare ones.
It is a well-known fact that in craftsman competitions, the more unconventional a project is, the more difficult it is for its opponents.
Time Walker took a breath, finally paid attention, raised his head and asked:
"What's your guild?"
Weiyu didn't mind answering this question.
This was not a secret. He simply replied: "Silver Vislan."
In fact, the former's look of not taking him seriously had already made Weiyu very unhappy. Weiyu thinks he has a pretty good personality, but as a genius from a top guild like Silver Vislan, how can he not have any pride of his own?
"Silver Vislan?"
The moment he heard this name, the time traveler's heart rang with alarm bells.
The current number one guild in the third division is Elite, but that is a new guild after all. Although it is as unique as guilds like Silver Forest Crown in cultivating craftsmen, it is far inferior to Silver Weiss in terms of foundation. A traditional wealthy family like Lan.
What it means to be the main craftsman of Silver Wisland is self-explanatory.
Time Walker finally remembered who the other party was, "You are Weiyu! Wait, aren't you a constructor? I remember you were in Sangshak..."
"I could be the one."
"So you still know about forbidden air devices?" Time Walker was a little unbelievable. Is this guy lying to him? He remembered that not long ago, the other party won the first prize in an exhibition competition in Sanshak as a constructor.
It was precisely because the opponent had not shown any talent for large-scale equipment in that competition that the analysts in the team thought he would face the Dragon Alchemist.
Because Fang Plover is accomplished in large magic furnaces, aerospace ships and dragon knights, even if he doesn't understand city wards, he is at least better than others.
Weiyu raised her head for the first time, looked at the other person, and nodded:
"Understand a little bit."
Time Walker took a deep breath and took a deep look at the other party, "Okay, let's see the real seal in our hands."
Since they were determined to be opponents of the same level, both sides stopped talking nonsense and started to complete their respective works. Large-scale installations are often long-term projects, but during competitions, the construction period must be compressed to less than an hour, so except for a small part of the materials, most of them are finished components.
This project considers both players’ understanding of the chosen project itself and their assembly level. But as soon as Weiyu came into play, the people in the audience who were paying attention to the game couldn't help but let out waves of low cheers.
too fast.
Even Fang Plover couldn't help but blink. He had heard of this senior's name at the Kapka Society, and knew that the other person must be very capable, whether it was as a well-known genius of the Kapka Society or as the leader of Silver Vislan's generation of craftsmen.
But I didn't expect that the other party would be so powerful.
On the field, Weiyu was simply assembling with his eyes closed. His movements were so smooth that he almost didn’t need to pause. Every component and plug-in passed through his hands and was placed on the machine without stopping, gradually forming a frame and becoming fuller bit by bit. Above the magical core of the forbidden air device.
"Senior Weiyu is so awesome," Mu Lan couldn't help but be speechless when she saw this scene, "He is indeed a talented craftsman of Silver Vislan's generation. I have heard of his name in the Elfendor Council. "
"How is Mr. Beat?" Bai Xue asked from the side.
She met Fang Yu later than Mu Lan, and she had not seen the southern competition with her own eyes.
Mu Lan thought about it carefully and shook her head: "I can't say, Ed didn't seem to show anything particularly good in that game... but he knows too many things, some weird fields. He seems to know a little bit, and no one can compare with him. But in this regard..."
She wanted to talk about the techniques, skills and precision of alchemy. In Mu Lan's own impression, apart from his proficient multi-parallel skills, Fang Yu didn't show anything too outrageous in other aspects.
"Probably between brothers," she thought about it, "Ade and Senior Weiyu each have their own strengths."
Bai Xue narrowed her eyes.
But that's not what Sophie told her.
However, Weiyu's skill is amazing, and the time walker over there is also not slow. If the other party dares to boast about Haikou, he is naturally somewhat capable. In terms of speed, the latter may be slightly slower than Weiyu. But in other respects, the two are superior to each other.
People who are slightly less skilled in craftsmanship may not even notice the difference.
The commentary desk was also anxious for a moment.
The commentators knew a little bit about alchemy, but they were not up to the level of the two of them.
Fortunately, time flies by——
Whispering and Time Walker quickly stopped one after the other. It's just that one of them made a large shield, and the other made a forbidden air device. Outsiders couldn't see any clues, and they couldn't compare the two completely different types of magic devices, so they had to wait for the judges to give their scores.
Because this game was so exciting that it attracted the attention of many people, the stadium was silent for a while.
moment.
The referee held up his sign.
Whisper: 45.3 points, Time Walker: 45.3 points.
There was an uproar in the audience. Even Tianlan was shouting about whether the jury had some inside story. It was obvious that the whispering time was much less, and the assembly level was much higher than that of the Time Walker, but the final score was actually a tie?
Others have more or less similar opinions.
However, the referee confirmed again and again that the score did not change.
In fact, Fang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this score. It is impossible to complete a large-scale installation within an hour, so what both parties ended up with was a semi-finished product, but it is indeed obvious that Weiyu's degree of completion is much higher.
Moreover, the air-denying device is more difficult than the large shield, so in theory it should get a high score. However, Weiyu's loss was mainly in assembly accuracy and craftsmanship. In these two aspects, he could tell at a glance that Time Walker was far superior to the former.
He could see it, and so could others.
"It would be nice if you slowed down a bit," Xiaoyao watched Weiyu coming down and complained - they were from the same guild, so they didn't have so many scruples when talking, "Your completion level is so much higher than him, slow down and improve. Accuracy, the final score will definitely be ahead of his."
Weiyu smiled but didn't answer.
Originally, Fang Yu wanted to say something, but when he saw the other party giving him a wink, he immediately stopped talking.
"Thank you." Weiyu smiled when she saw that he understood.
"So you kept your hand?" Fang Piao asked with an expression.
Weiyu nodded.
"We're all going to win anyway. If you can hide as much as you can, hide as much as you can."
"But I have one more show here."
Weiyu looked at him speechlessly: "Is there anyone else who can beat you by 7.5 points?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
He scratched his hair and thought that there really wasn't.
No matter how unconfident he was, he didn't think anyone could beat him by 7.5 points, so why would he make it into the top ten?
Weiyu reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's your turn, go quickly. Be careful about the remaining general of the opponent. I remember that the opponent's ID is Kula. There is not much information about him in the information, but as the finale, he should not be better than That time traveler was even worse."
Fang Yu nodded seriously.
He actually had another headache, but now he seemed to have some clues.
At this moment, the referee team has given out the contestants and event information for the next group of competitions between the two sides, and announced it on the projection crystal screen——
There was a hustle and bustle on the field.
The sound got louder and louder.
