After receiving Christie's confirmation, Ye Luan finally decided to carefully confirm the function of the ring.
Judging from the appearance, this pair of rings is made in two copies, and the sizes are not exactly the same. They are all black and have no visible inscriptions on the surface. However, in terms of pure feeling, they seem to be slightly heavier than pure iron. However, compared with what Christie said, The weight of the raw materials used is much lighter.
After observing carefully, Princess Xian reached out and picked up the smaller ring and put it on her right index finger. She slowly poured magic power into it, trying to find out the preset function. However, when the magic power was just introduced, Ye Luan's His expression changed slightly.
"Is it empty here?" Ye Luan couldn't help but ask.
"Why can't it be empty?" Christie replied with a smile.
Ye Luan's expression became more serious. If the inside of the ring was hollow, then the weight would be even more incredible. She subconsciously pushed the magic power in a very rare direction, and in the next moment, she got got the answer.
"Space equipment?"
As soon as Ye Luan spoke these words, Carrots next to him became interested. He reached out and took the larger ring, but he unceremoniously put it on the ring finger of his right hand. He also slowly breathed out his inner breath. Flowed into the ring, with just one breath, Carrotes' eyes lit up: "It is indeed Alaya Consciousness."
Christie looked at Carrots calmly: "The chairman is so complimentary."
"I haven't been chairman for many years." Carrots scratched his head and said with a smile, then gently knocked the ring on his ring finger on the table and made a low hoarse voice, which didn't feel hollow at all: " Princess Xian, how big do you think this built-in space package is?"
"Three feet square." Ye Luan felt the hole in it and spoke slowly but firmly: "But in addition to the part that connects the space fragments, I feel that there is still a part of the magic pattern structure left free, but the structure of that part is very unfamiliar, I don't know Know what it’s for.”
Carotes smiled: "I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen is willing to explain this part to us personally?"
Christie was unfazed and stood below and said calmly: "It seems that you, former chairman, have noticed a little bit. If that's the case, maybe I already value you so much, but it still doesn't seem to be enough."
"Forget it, you'd better call him Chairman." Carotes touched his nose, then raised his right hand, moved his lips close to the ring on his ring finger, and seemed to say something.
Ye Luan, who was beside him, blushed slightly unnoticeably, but there was no sullen look on her face. She quickly took off the ring on her index finger and quickly put it back in the box as if it were a piece of red-hot charcoal. , and then he seemed to take a long breath of relief and said with emotion: "It's really amazing."
Carrots laughed loudly and seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Luan's performance. He also reached out and took off the ring and put it on the table. He said to Christie and the judges beside him: "Black Iron There are countless things inside the ring, and there are countless potentials that can be tapped, but the Queen does not have enough time to perfect it. If I am not wrong, the inspiration for this ring comes from the Queen's exquisite heart."
Christie was noncommittal and looked at Carrots silently without answering.
Carrots was not embarrassed at all and continued: "For the time being, this black iron ring has only two functions. One is the core storage function. As Princess Xian said, this is a three-foot-square space fragment. , is directly connected to the ring and is not affected by most harsh environments. The other function is a seemingly useless but extremely practical communication function. If nothing else, this is a very rare cross-continental communication. Since the communication function of the object is traced back to its spatial properties, it is also not affected by most harsh environments. It only uses iron as a material and can complete such a complete and practical spiritual weapon in such a tiny volume. Her Majesty the Queen’s skill in weapon refining is truly unfathomable.”
"I originally thought it was a bit too fussy for the master to use such a work to perform the imperial oath. Now it seems that the master still knows you better than I do."
Christie smiled and did not explain anything: "But the master is really a master. I originally thought there was a small chance."
Carrots reached out and put the pair of rings back into the wooden box and put them away, then looked at Christie: "Can I ask a personal question?"
Christie didn't hesitate at all: "It's okay to ask, but I won't answer."
Carrots nodded, pointed at the box and said, "Since the core of your work is an exquisite heart-like article that revolves around space, why did you choose the form of a ring to express it? After all, under the premise of not being limited to the shape, There are many better options available, and since time is so tight and it is enough to complete this space function, why would you choose to implant a remote communication capability with a very rare principle?"
Christie tilted her head, raised her hand to tangle her hair, and then said with a smile, "Please forgive me for having no comment."
Carrots was not surprised at all, and then reinstalled the two people's works and pushed them in front of Lin Xi: "The detailed functions and values have been explained to the princess, and I think you all have made your own decisions in mind. Can we announce the results then?”
Lin Xi nodded with a serious smile. To his left was an old man who was as old as him with only a skeleton left, and the other was a man wearing a mask like a statue. He was really not the type to talk, so he made a decision when he spoke.
"Hunan Ruby, Christie's Basket Jewel, give up if you give up."
The dean of Ye Ye said this, and then pushed a black glazed jar in front of Carrots in front of Carrots. Carrots smiled, stretched out his hand and wiped the mouth of the pot, and then pushed it to Ye Luan. Ye Luan didn't show any signs of it. After hesitation, the second gem fell into the jar with a jingle, followed by Lin Xi, Lan Ying, and Yi Lanshan.
After a moment, the glaze jar turned around in front of the five people and returned to Lin Xi. Lin Xi looked at the audience, stretched out his hand to grasp the jar body, and turned it over quietly: "As you all can witness, the winner will be announced in the first round."
Xiang remained calm while Christie remained unfazed. It seemed that before voting, they already had the expected results in mind.
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby.
Five rubies were shining brightly on the table. Carrots stretched helplessly: "There is really no surprise at all."
Saying this, the former chairman of the college reached out to grab the sealed carton and pulled out a piece of paper. He took a look at it for himself first, slowly raised his eyebrows, and then thought about everyone's formula with a gloating expression: "Emperor The second oath, Ming’s topic is this.”
"No fire."
When Carrots finished announcing the topic, just like yesterday, the crowd slowly dispersed in an orderly manner. The Snow Burial Society and the Croft family worked together to maintain order, so nothing unexpected happened.
As for the candidate to participate in this second oath, there is no doubt that it is His Highness the Third Prince. Although he is helpless, he has no choice.
Due to various concerns, Ye Qing decided to provide emergency extra tutoring to His Highness, unlike yesterday's indifferent attitude towards Xiang. Otherwise, it would be no surprise that His Highness would make any jokes on the field tomorrow.
"Can you understand what Fireless Tea is?" Ao Xuehua asked the girl in black who was sitting there calmly.
His Highness the Third Prince blinked his eyelashes and seemed to be thinking a little: "Is this tea made without fire?"
Ye Qing next to him shook his head: "In a sense, it can indeed be understood this way, but it is not entirely like this."
Saying this, Ye Qing poured out different drinks on the table one by one, then pointed at them and explained: "Although tea in the current context refers to tea made from tea leaves and derivatives, in the Emperor's Oath, Ming is much more than that."
"The so-called literature, utensils, tea, martial arts, food, medicine, and jade cover far more than what they literally represent. Just as simple utensils, placed in the hands of monsters like that guy in Xianghe, can turn into craftsmanship. A work that can represent the pinnacle of his field, in fact, Ming refers to all drinks."
“Whether it’s pure water without any added substances that only relies on pure taste, or tea that is refreshing with the fragrance of vegetation, or milk syrup with sweet and rich animal fragrance, or various different flavors brought by grinding the fruits of plants, All liquid drinks that can be consumed alone can be classified into the category of Ming.”
"So the competition between Emperor Oath Zhongming is far from a competition between tea and water, but a competition using all beverages to compete."
"Of course, because the scope of such a comparison is too broad, the title is often stipulated in the Emperor's Oath, and Tea without Fire is a very rare, but at the same time very famous title."
"Simply put, it requires that the drinks being made must not be allowed to boil at any time, because many people firmly believe that boiling water will destroy many of the flavors of the original drink."
"Yes." His Royal Highness responded gently. "I will remember."
Just as Ye Qing was about to say something, he was interrupted by Ao Xuehua: "Senior sister, your wisdom does contain incredible insights about all kinds of tea, but now in your hands, there are more or less deviations, just like you did back then. The earliest teas were made because they were overconfident and always let the tea boil in an instant so that all the tea leaves were crushed into tea powder. Although this method released all the aroma of the tea leaves in the shortest time, at the same time, we all tasted it. After passing it, the taste is still unforgettable.”
"Even today, you can make quite delicious tea, but it is far from enough compared to Imperial Oath's standards, or to put it more bluntly, compared to Christie's."
Ao Xuehua supported her chin and said seriously: "So, we jointly hope that senior sister can try to make the best tea in her memory, and it will meet the requirements of the Imperial Oath question."
"Of course, we all understand that there will be many failures during the practice, so we are now accompanying the seniors to practice on this tea, providing trial services and giving suggestions for improvement."
His Highness tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and then replied very sincerely: "I suggest not."
"We have nothing to fear." Zhou Yan said with his arms folded on his chest, looking intoxicated and infatuated: "Being able to personally taste the new tea handmade by my senior sister, there is nothing more beautiful in this world. No matter how dangerous and difficult it is, I will never take a step back. This is my belief and my persistence."
Ao Xuehua glanced at Senior Zhou Yan angrily, and then said without even thinking, "First, please ask senior to make a pot of tea like the one we had when we first met."
The Third Highness is such an innocent child. She never refuses advice that seems to be harmless. So when she raised her left hand, the small purple sand teapot that she once called cute appeared in her hand. Then she opened her right hand. Another bag of tea leaves appeared. After pouring the tea leaves into the teapot, water from unknown sources poured into the pot. Then His Highness raised the tea leaves with his right hand and disappeared again. Then he put the water into the small purple sand pot with tea leaves and poured it into the teapot. This natural posture was placed in the void, with his right hand resting on the bottom of the teapot, and a dazzling red flame grew from the palm of his hand.
Just like what Ge Sheng had seen before, the teapot boiled almost instantly, and then the charming and refreshing fragrance filled the whole room. Just smelling this aroma, you can almost confirm that this is a delicious cup. As long as you drink it, your mouth will be in your mouth. The fragrant worldly tea.
However, some people present had shuddering expressions on their faces.
On that day, mankind finally recalled the horror of being once dominated by it, and the shame of being wantonly flattered against one's conscience.
However, some people did not include Senior Zhou Xing after all. Zhou Xing was very happy: "Senior, it turns out that you still have such a great tea, why have you never been willing to make it? Could it be that this time is the best way to win the prize? One blow The trump card that must win, is it ready, is it ready? I can’t wait to taste it.”
Ye Qing smiled slightly and showed the expression of a little devil: "Since it's rare that my senior sister has made such tea again, then we'd better taste it together, appreciate the wonderful articles together, and analyze the doubts."
Although Ge Sheng wanted to stop him at that moment, he saw the blazing eyes of Ye Qing and Ao Xuehua.
Yes, you have to fall into all the pits I have fallen into.
Even if Ge Sheng couldn't read minds, he could clearly see such thoughts in their eyes.
However, all ten members of the Late Summer Friends Club were present at this time, so His Highness the Third Prince skillfully took out ten cups of different styles, and filled each cup with tea in an elegant manner. Senior Zhou Yan looked at the cups. The rippling blue-green tea in the cup made me so happy that I wanted to worship it immediately but couldn't bear to drink any trace of it.
The ten members of the Friends Club at the end of summer are Ao Xuehua, Ye Qing, Ge Sheng, Zhou Yan, Qi Xia, His Highness the Third Prince, Mo Xiaojing, Lan Che, Shi Feng, and Zi Quan.
Although there was an illusion that they were all familiar, in fact, there were only four people who had the honor to taste the Third Highness's tea under the ice house on Ye Qing's birthday that day, and one of them was the Third Highness himself.
"Come on." Ye Qing invited warmly, and then took the lead in raising a toast: "For tomorrow's imperial oath, this is the first trial product we have tried, cheers."
Following the example of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, the others raised their glasses one after another, and then drank from their glasses without any doubt.
I think that from that day on, everyone in the Friends Club at the end of summer will recall the fear of being dominated by His Highness the Third.
