Fang Yu's results caused quite a stir after the game.
The reason is that in the history of the mainland league, there has never been a player with all three basic points. This is an unprecedented first. It even appeared on the front page of the Empire's highly professional newspaper "Alchemist Weekly", with a thousand-word report titled "Genius Boy Breaks Record".
As a result, Fang Plover was not a household name in the empire. But at least among the group of alchemists, he is extremely well-known.
The reporter of "Alchemist Weekly" also specially intercepted a few pictures of him and placed them next to the accompanying text. That happened to be the moment when the projected screen on the field turned to Fang Plion's face. How should I put it... Fang Pulong looked very surprised on the screen. A reporter from Alchemist Weekly wrote:
"The super level performance surprised even Ed himself——"
But why he was surprised, I am afraid only Fang Yu himself understands. Of course, he would never tell anyone why.
Later, the organizer also gave a corresponding explanation. Ancient alchemy is particularly good at purifying materials. This is a fact that has been known to everyone since the Southern Region Competition. Those components with almost flawless quality, in the hands of an alchemist with solid basic skills, can achieve a superb level of assembly accuracy. , it’s not something incomprehensible.
The Mimenos Craftsmen Association also personally confirmed that it is correct. The young craftsman named Kula also checked it and did not express any objection. In addition, people have preconceptions about ancient alchemy, so the final test result is in line with this stereotype in people's minds.
However, the accuracy and material handling skills are not bad. The high level of craftsmanship shown by Fang Plover has far exceeded people's expectations. People seemed to realize now that the Dragon Alchemist was not only a master of ancient alchemy, he was also one of the three main generals of the Kaolin team. All have attainments. How can he win the championship in Elfendor without extraordinary level?
People seem to have just remembered the identity of the former legendary craftsman.
Such a young and legendary craftsman.
Analysts from other teams have also been very busy during this period. While re-evaluating the level of the home team Kaolin-Ishulian, I added a new annotation to Fang Plover’s information:
"The level of alchemy second only to the master craftsman deserves special attention."
"Although Ancient Alchemy is slow, the players themselves have extraordinary skills. In situations where Ancient Alchemy is not applicable, special attention should be paid to the fact that the opponent's own speed is not slow at all."
"Beware of the Corinthians digging holes in this."
Under those evaluations, most of them are underlined repeatedly to emphasize their importance.
However, Fang Plover himself is also receiving "key attention" from the team.
Basically a hybrid tag team from Soul Fingerprint and Hades.
"What did I tell you?"
"Do you feel that you are not noticeable enough now?"
Ms. Ming added on the side: "Another breakthrough for the talented boy in the triathlon in the competition. His superb performance surprised even Ed himself——"
She doubled over with laughter.
Senior Sister Soul waved his "report card" - the front page of "Alchemist Weekly", just like a parent waving a zero-score test paper. Fang Plover, who was completely silent at the side, got a zero score in that test. of primary school students.
He was so frightened that he shivered like a quail in the storm.
Shui Wuming, Mu Lan and Bai Xue were overjoyed.
Others, including the pushy Xiaoyao, were hunching their necks. Together with MTT, Wucun, and Weiyu, they pretended not to see anything and played the beast-fighting chess game that is very popular among alchemists.
Guland was still young and could not bear to see such a "bloody" scene, so Virus first asked his guard Kuulhan to take the former away.
Luo Wei sat opposite a group of grown men, looking at them with calm eyes.
"Senior Luo Wei, can you stop looking? It's so uncomfortable," Xiaoyao
In fact, my scalp was a little numb, so I couldn't help but say, "We are different from Ed. He is young and ignorant. Are we still ignorant?"
Luo Wei was a little amused and said softly, "Sister Soul doesn't want you to speak for him. Ed went a little too far this time. It's not a good thing to expose his strength like this before the Twin Towers trial. Senior Sister is also doing it for his own good. "
"I understand the truth," Xiaoyao looked at the shivering Fang Pliance, "but isn't Ed a little too pitiful?"
"Don't worry," Luo Wei replied with a smile, "The triathlon has been reported back to the Corin-Ithurian Craftsmen's Association. The association was also very surprised. President Falaise wrote a letter in person. There will be some commendations for him."
Only then did everyone realize that Soul Fingerprint was so earnest in order to prevent that guy from raising his tail in the sky during the next game.
Sure enough, after a storm of criticism, Soul Fingerprint took out a box, opened it and took out a Morning Star. After she read out the letter of commendation from the Craftsmen Association in public, she awarded it to Fang Plover.
Unlike the worthless medal awarded to him by the Imperial Workshop, this Silver Star came as a surprise to Fang Plover.
He happily wore it under the Hailin Morning Star. The silver star was about two sizes smaller than the Hailin Morning Star, which represented the honor the alchemist had received in the Craftsman Guild.
Everyone congratulated him.
Xiaoyao was still a little envious and jealous, but Fang Piao's score was indeed unprecedented. Not only did he break the record, he was also featured in "Alchemist Weekly". This is also a great honor for the Cowling-Ithurian Craftsmen Guild.
Everyone knows that awarding a Silver Star is not an exaggeration.
However, Fang Plover protected the glory of the Corrin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association, but failed to protect the glory of ancient alchemy.
In other words, it was protected, but not completely, only part of it.
The other part, on the other hand, further deepened the stereotype of ancient alchemy among ordinary people.
Even among the alchemists, only a few people fully understand its true meaning. But those people often did not choose to go to the community to refute the rumors that were flying around. Instead, they immediately booked a boat ticket, packed up their things, and headed for the empire.
Is——
Alix looked at the calendar, took off his coat from the hanger, put it in his arm, and picked up a top hat. Finally, he looked around his alchemy workshop, confirming that everything was correct, and then picked it up for the trip. suitcase, and then pushed out the door.
On the flickering light screen in his pupils, several text messages are popping up:
"Are you planning to go to the Empire?"
"Um."
"Why the sudden sudden impulse?"
"I just wanted to take a look. Aren't Virus and Ming over there?"
"Okay, go early and come back early."
Alix put away his address book, turned his attention to the street, and then walked towards the airport.
Grande——
"Everyone, I have verified it repeatedly." The airport staff looked at the alchemists in the hall and couldn't help but spread their hands. "From now until the middle of next month, there are no ships heading to the Empire. . Shouldn’t you be very aware that there is still a north wind blowing above the sea of clouds?"
"...But you can try your luck at Is. It's further south. Maybe the route to Fasha has been unsealed earlier."
The alchemists talked a lot and protested loudly, complaining that the service of the Royal Port Authority of Grand Port was getting worse year by year. Last year, the lockdown was lifted in March, but this year it has been postponed to the end of April. If this continues, in ten years His Majesty the King will simply shut down the Royal Port Authority.
Ordinary people really don’t dare to say these words.
But everyone present was a wearer of the Hailin Morning Star, and no one dared to refute it if things went south.
The staff also looked embarrassed. After sending these gentlemen away with kind words, they turned around and complained to their colleagues, "How many batches is this already? If this continues, our Royal Port Authority will not be closed down. I’ll shut it down first.”
"Bear with it," the other person replied with a wry smile, "Who told the Dragon Alchemist to make big news in the empire?"
"Isn't it just a victory over the people from the Giant Tree Hill? It's not an empire," the former sneered. "What's more, it's only the first round of the points competition. It's like winning the battle of the Holy King. I think the talents of the Craftsmen Association are It’s getting worse every year. Didn’t we still have someone in the top ten in the last craftsman competition? In the second world..."
"You don't want your life?" The man was startled, "Your Majesty can't listen to this. Besides, when it comes to the things in the second world, please stop talking."
The former was stunned for a moment, then reacted and closed his mouth.
And in Bavaria. There is also an endless stream of people visiting the Grand General Assembly these days, but among these people, there are few people from the Empire, many people from Kaolin-Ithurians, and even some Guta people. There are few ordinary people and many alchemists.
Outsiders are not surprised by this. After all, the Continental League does not represent the honor of one place or one country, but the entire floating continent. But what the reason is, the soul fingerprint is clear to the mind.
At first, Fang Yu taught all the contestants and alchemists the ancient alchemy skills in the Southern Territory. Later, this skill spread in the Southern Territory and then to the North. The other part was brought back to the Treasure Stick Coast for the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association, and there spread.
She herself has studied ancient alchemy, and as a contestant in the last Continental League, her talent is not much lower than that of these young people present. Nowadays, her level of ancient alchemy can be said to be still intact. Above Mu Lan, she can naturally see the world behind the door at a glance.
The fingerprint of the soul is very clear. People who have received the inheritance of ancient alchemy and have certain attainments in it must have seen something from it. These alchemists from all over the world came here impatiently, naturally to seek the real answer.
But she still blocked everyone from the door.
And only people from the Kapka Craftsmen Association and the Guta Craftsmen Association are allowed in. Soul Fingerprint is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Currently, the mainland league is still in progress, and she will not let any factors outside of the game interfere with her players.
Of course, members of the Kapka Craftsmen Association and the Guta Craftsmen Association are also contestants themselves, so they are not included in this category. Even she herself was very curious about the answer, but she still refrained from asking questions.
She is the team leader, but she is also an off-field factor.
Let the players discuss it themselves first, she can wait until after the game is over.
It is precisely because of such a team leader with a strong sense of responsibility.
Fang Plover could enjoy some quiet time, and was finally free from the harassment of those messy meetings, face-to-face meetings, and interviews from newspapers and magazines in the empire.
Next, he just gathered with the players from the three craftsmen's association teams to discuss ancient alchemy. Everyone on the field has clearly seen the true meaning of the world behind that door, but they still want to get an answer from him personally.
But the answer is actually very simple -
The Numerin elves possess magical power and are in harmony with the elements. They are good at using ether and elements to shape objects. Starting from their own talents, such an alchemy was born.
But the alchemy of mortals found a new way, with the help of external forces, to overcome the gap called "element suitability" that mortals originally could not overcome. With the help of the magic furnace, they surpassed goblins, surpassed elves, and some of them could even stand shoulder to shoulder with giant dragons.
That is the pinnacle of mortal life.
Dragon Knight (Sky Knight).
The ancient alchemy that Anrothe taught to Fang Plover came from the skills of the Numerin elves. Logically speaking, mortals who are not born with magic power cannot use it. But with the help of multiple parallel techniques from the Abyssal Sea Documents, the magic furnace was used to simulate the elves' affinity for magic, and then multiple parallels were used to describe the magic circles and runes they had used.
Thus reviving this ancient skill.
"So the reason why the art of elf creation seems complicated is that it does not belong to the category of modern alchemy, or even the alchemy of mortals," Fang Yu said eloquently. In front of him, there were Shui Wuming, Xiaoyao and others.
also
There were contestants from the Kapka Craftsmen Association, and he knew a few of them and had met them at the Southern Border Competition. There are a few others who originally had dealings with the Kapka Craftsmen Association. It's just that those seniors who met in Kapka may have difficulty remembering that they have met several times.
After all, at that time, although he was deeply loved by the masters of the Kapka Craftsmen Association, he was actually just a little guy with no sense of existence among the selectors.
Vikki and Jung Young-jae are also among them. Soul Fingerprint doesn't like these Koreans very much, but due to the request of the general leader Princess Brianne, he has to let the Guta people come here.
She deliberately suggested that Fang Plover had better have some reservations about the Guta people. However, Fang Yu never saw it that way. He knew very well how the Guta Division viewed Kaolin-Ishulian, but his mentor told him that it was different from the regional differences among animals.
Misunderstandings between people are often artificially shaped due to lack of communication.
But only sincerity can impress people.
He didn't want to change anything.
But the art of alchemy should not be limited to one place in the world after the star gate of Etalia. It was the Empire who brought this art to the entire mortal world. The great alchemist Ed and his students began to He did not keep his alchemy secret because of his personal status.
The skills of mortals also come from the elves of Numelin.
Anrothe is a dragon whose real name is Myrleuthymis, but its student is still a human being.
Alchemy is vast precisely because it is selfless.
Fang Plover continued, "... Mortals do not have the talent for magic, so we must use multiple parallel techniques to reproduce the skills of elves. With this relationship, ancient alchemy becomes complicated."
"But it itself shows the simple beauty of elven alchemy."
"I understand..." Mu Lan also reacted, "The mottled material comes from the impurities in it, but pure elements do not contain impurities. This is why this alchemy seems so close to purification to outsiders. It’s because of the craftsmanship of the materials.”
"That's right." Fang Plover glanced at her appreciatively. The talented craftsman of Ragnarok showed extraordinary understanding during the Southern Tournament, and it is the same here.
"Elf Creation Technique?" Another person raised his hand to speak.
"That's the name I gave to this alchemy. I believe you can understand what it means. Shaping elements from starlight and using elements to shape the world is the underlying logic of elf creation. .”
"From starlight, to elements, to matter, there is no need to rely on external objects. You can imagine the scene. With such a magic circle, we can no longer be bound by the venue. At any time and in any place, as long as the starlight If it is inexhaustible, material creation will continue."
"Isn't that similar to creating something out of thin air?" Someone whispered.
That's exactly what happened.
That is the most wonderful and charming scenery behind that door.
Create matter, even life.
That is the art of creation belonging to the elves.
"Of course, that is also the highest state they pursue." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heated, Fang Pliance couldn't help pouring cold water on everyone, "Not even the Numelin elves themselves have reached that step. As for us, we have to consider how to recover first. Only when you find the highest level of skill that an elf has ever had can you consider taking a step further..."
Mortals cannot directly use the alchemy of the Numerin elves.
What Anlose taught him was just a theory. But the way mortals use magic furnaces is completely different from the way elves use their magic power. He first transformed the elves' theories into modern alchemy theory step by step, and then put it on paper.
This is why he only came into contact with the essence of ancient alchemy step by step in the sand sea of Istania.
But there are many barriers behind. He went a step further with the Kraken configuration, almost approaching the realm that the elves had touched before, shaping matter from the elements, which looked like a creation out of thin air to outsiders - but after this point, it was difficult to make any further progress.
Even with the help of the Kraken configuration, "creating things out of thin air" requires a huge amount of magic power, swallowing up energy like a black hole. Even with the level of the gamma magic furnace, it cannot sustain it for more than a few seconds. This level is basically impossible to apply in practice.
What's more, most of the alchemical creations generated by the siren configuration are very fragile. Whether it is a clockwork fairy or a lancer configuration, they are many times weaker than the usual ones. They are basically just the same.
Where did the problem lie? Fang Pulmon himself couldn't find out what the problem was.
The reason why he wants to gather these geniuses from all over the world here is because he has this idea. His own wisdom is limited, but with so many outstanding alchemists here, brainstorming, there may always be some breakthrough. .
"Creation out of thin air..."
Everyone was shocked for a moment and couldn't help but murmured in trance.
Even though there are still various limitations in Fang Plover's words, the concept itself is still too shocking. If there is no empirical evidence, or they have not studied this alchemy themselves, then they will definitely regard Fang Plover's words at this moment as nonsense. language.
But at this moment.
The door is clearly right in front of you.
As if within reach——
Behind everyone. Among all the people from Guta, Vikki looked at Fang Plover with very complicated eyes. She actually didn’t like the players from Kaolin-Ishulian. She had previously called them “the shopkeepers”. That was the competition area in Guta. A contemptuous name for this place.
But apart from the craftsman competition, she actually had no conflict with the Kaolin-Ithurians, she just went with the flow. People around her told her how arrogant the players in the third division were, and she had indeed seen some people like that.
But there are always different kinds of people, rude and uneducated people, where are they not?
But what Fang Yu was talking about now, not to mention the selectors, even the craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association were completely shocked.
That was a speech that could change the future of alchemy, but the other party had no intention of hiding anything. Kapka and Grand Craftsmen would be fine with it, but they were from Guta——
People of the mountains.
Are the Corinthians crazy?
But they are the Chosen Ones, the ones blessed by the Stargate. The first thought that came to the minds of these mountain people was that this was a lie. But Fang Plover's frankness is obvious. The alchemy knowledge they have learned prevents them from setting aside the facts to refute.
Then there is only one possibility left.
The craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association, including several high-level alchemists, looked at Fang Plover somewhat differently. It was pure respect and shock without reservation, just like it was many, many years ago.
When the first generation of alchemists——
It is the same as bringing knowledge to the world of mortals who are still in the wilderness.
They were students of the Númerin elves.
He is also the founder of the Aitalian civilization.
Nine hundred years ago, the Guild of Kaulin-Ithurian Craftsmen was founded. Seven hundred years ago, the Guta Craftsmen Association was established. It was an era of nascent ignorance, and alchemists spread knowledge to every inch of the world regardless of each other.
Let the fire of civilization illuminate the wilderness and wild forests, and let the light of the flame dispel ignorance and fog.
Maybe their generation was wrong after all.
Maybe some people are wrong after all.
But the mistake was never corrected and instead stubbornly took root.
It casts prejudice into hatred, and hatred into war, making men bleed and women and children shed tears. Let life be buried under the tombstone, and bright thorny flowers bloom on the tombstone.
The exchange meeting was held several times later.
But Fang Plover was no longer the only one to speak. The alchemists all came up with their own treasured experiences and exchanged them with each other.
The door-to-door view was only briefly broken.
The dismantling of regional stereotypes was only temporary, but it was enough to benefit everyone. Fang Yu also obtained a skill about heavenly knowledge from Weiyu. That skill was very important to Delan.
The research on mana recovery helps a lot.
Fang Plover estimates that the progress can be improved by at least 10%.
Zheng Yongzai also gave him a crystal, which contained a technique that could temporarily improve computing power. It's just that all of Fang Yu's thoughts are on Delan's magic recovery at the moment, and he doesn't have more experience to learn other knowledge for the time being.
Unlike Vikki, who has complicated views on the Kaolin-Ithurians, this young man from the Ancient Tower Craftsmen Association has a pure admiration for him.
This has been the case since the Southern Realm Competition, and after experiencing this incident, the latter has already regarded Fang Plover as a mentor.
But the biggest surprise for Fang Yu was that after several exchange meetings, he gained a lot of experience. He jumped directly from level 25 to level 1, and after the Northern War, he finally upgraded again and reached level 26.
He didn't expect that communicating with peers would have this benefit. He had communicated with many aboriginal craftsmen before, but unfortunately his gains were limited. It seems that at this stage, the chosen ones are far more knowledgeable than the aboriginal alchemists.
Just whispering about craftsmen of Shui Wuming and Vikki's level, Fang Yu expected that he would not be able to meet more craftsmen in the first world. Of course there are people from other craftsmen's associations, but whether they will sincerely communicate with me about alchemy is still a matter of debate.
He could only set his sights on something more realistic.
Other than that, the first half of the first round was almost topical.
The only game worthy of attention was the one between Fang Pilgrim and the Mimenos Craftsmen Association, but it couldn't be said to be an upset. The outside world's handicap for the outcome of the two is about 50-50. Because of the reputation of the Dragon Alchemist, the odds of the Kaolin-Ithurian Association are even lower.
What follows is the second half of the first round. The opponent in the second half of the round has already been determined. It is one of the teams selected from the audition. Judging from the first half of the round, it is a weak team.
This game is far from an upset.
The other party chose the two categories of plug-ins and magic guides for the items that the Grand Association had missed. Soul Fingerprint also showed respect and chose the crystal and flexible construction categories that the other party was missing, and returned the favor.
The result was basically a one-sided massacre. Shui Wuming of the Grand Club will be in charge of the magic weapon category, while the plug-ins are handed over to Luo Wei. The crystals and flexible structures are naturally handled by Xiaoyao and MTT.
As a result, Luo Wei, who replaced Wu Cun as the plug-in craftsman, also surpassed his opponent in total points. Shui Wuming himself is an all-around player, and he can crush his opponents with magic weapons. Needless to say, the latter is Xiaoyao and MTT.
After one round, he defeated his opponent by a huge margin of 192 points to 173 points.
On the other side, Mulan and others also went to find out that the Mimenos Craftsmen Association also won a big victory in the second game. In the end, they scored 194 points, which was 2 points higher than the Grand Association, which was regarded as a comeback.
There are a total of five first rounds played in Bavaria.
The next round of competition was scheduled to take place three days later. This time, Grande Club did not continue its "good luck" and faced an overseas team from Lotao. The opponent was not strong, and Soul Fingerprint and Bai Xue were there. In the first round, Zhongzhi Wucun, Xiaoyao, MTT and Weiyu came on the field and defeated their opponents with a slight score advantage.
In the second half of the round, they also encountered an audition team. The Chinese Plover didn't even play in this round. Soul Fingerprint used the excuse of letting Guland get familiar with the atmosphere of the competition and let the young man go up and try his hand. However, it was not the magic potion project that he was familiar with, but the magic weapon project that he swapped with Mu Lan.
Although this young man from Istania is considered a new player, his performance on the field is quite satisfactory, defeating his opponent with a score advantage of 0.1 points and winning a city. However, considering that the opponent is only an audition team, Goland seems to be the weakest link of the Goland Association in the eyes of the outside world.
And this is exactly what soul fingerprints want to achieve.
No matter how Fang Yu thought about it, he felt that his soul just didn't want him to play.
Of course, this guess collapsed in the third round.
In the third round, he was once again designated by the soul fingerprint as @
Fa, together with Shui Wuming, defeated another team from the Hill of Giant Trees with a big score. Then in the second half, they lost by three points to a crafts association supported by the Imperial Brotherhood.
The three pillars of the empire's selector forces, in addition to the D Alliance and Gray Field, are the famous Brotherhood. The latter originally originated from the First Free Chosen Guild in the First Division. Later, after being incorporated into a super club, it was transformed into today's Third Guild of the Empire.
The largest free-chosen guild in the first division has now fallen on Prometheus.
According to Virus and Ming's analysis, this team is not that strong, at least not as good as the Ayinbrok Craftsmen's Association with the Empire's twin stars, nor the Imperial City Craftsmen's Association supported by GrayField, or even the Mimenos Craftsmen's Association. Still a little off.
However, the team from Giant Tree Hill they met in the first round was considered a strong enemy. To ensure a stable score, they used all their best in the first half of the round. In the second half of the round, it is normal to lose to the opponent if you rely on a whisper to lead the team.
After three rounds of competition, the Grand Craftsman Association has accumulated 576 points, ranking sixth in the standings. Followed closely by the Mimenos Craftsmen Association, ranking seventh with 574 points.
It is no surprise that the first and second ranked ones are the Ayinbrok Craftsmen Association, which owns the Empire's twin stars, and the Imperial City Craftsmen Association. The Oshu people have always been ahead of other countries in alchemy, so this result is not surprising. .
But the third place, Sanshak Artisan Association from the Hill of Giant Trees, was a bit unexpected.
According to the data collected by Bi Fang, this team seems to have been smooth and steady, defeating its opponents without any surprises, surpassing the Empire's Craftsmen Association, and trailing behind the first and second.
But it is often this smooth opponent that is the most troublesome.
Afterwards, the fourth and fifth places are both regulars in the previous rankings, but that does not mean that their level should be at this position, or that they are better than the home team of Kaulin-Ithurians.
It is also possible that these teams have encountered weak opponents in the previous rounds and have room for formation, so they will naturally score higher points.
Ultimately, the first few rounds of the points race don't really tell much from it.
Time passed smoothly in each game.
…
