Cheng Ke carried his luggage to the door of the White Swan Academy team's room and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened inside.

The person who opened the door was White Swan No. 7. When he saw Cheng Ke, he was a little surprised.

"No. 7, I'm back."

Cheng Ke walked into the room, and everyone happened to be staying here.

"Why are you all here, why don't you go and stop the people from the Thunder Castle Magic Academy team?"

"We take shifts. Now it's No. 1, No. 2, No. 9 and others to carry out the work."

Cheng Ke nodded: "Oh."

"By the way, No. 10?! Where have you been these past few days? We thought you were captured by that group of desperadoes."

Cheng Ke sighed and told a lie: "It's hard to tell. I ran to other towns to track the whereabouts of the human being contaminated by the monster's blood and his descendants. But the tracking still has no effect."

"You'd better be careful. That group of mysterious desperadoes is everywhere asking about your whereabouts, and they are even preparing to question us. Naturally, we fought them off, but someone was also injured, and it was White Swan No. 9. He is really unlucky.

!”

Cheng Ke felt a little ashamed and said, "He also suffered a terrible disaster. It was my fault."

"Oh, it's okay now. By the way, who are those desperadoes?"

Cheng Ke thought for a while and said: "The person who has a grudge against me once placed a high reward on a mission on the mercenary guild's mission list. I guess they are a mercenary group."

"What kind of mercenary group is it?"

"I'm not sure. I'll figure it out later."

"Um."

Half an hour later, White Swan No. 1, No. 2, and No. 9 all returned to the Qiangwei Road Hotel.

Therefore, all members of the White Swan Academy team held an emergency meeting, and the host was White Swan No. 1.

He roughly summarized the comparison of progress between the White Swan Academy team and the Freiburg Magic Academy team in this knockout round.

"As far as the progress of the knockout round is concerned, we have the initiative. As long as we hold back the Freiburg Magic Academy team's investigation progress, we can advance to this knockout round. Our success in progress is due to the efforts of No. 10, who is

His carefulness and professional alchemy knowledge allowed us to find a clue about the warrior assistant Sheriff Hodix. For this, we must admit that if we really enter the next round of elimination, No. 10 will be indispensable.

.”

"Performance should be praised, criticism should still be criticized. No. 10 has been missing this week and has completely lost his discipline. As a result, our manpower is objectively insufficient, which makes us passive in slowing down the investigation progress of the Freiburg Magic Academy team.

Moreover, No. 10's personal grudges also involved us, which led to us being attacked, which also caused us to suffer an unreasonable disaster."

"I have communicated with Master Jay through the magic tower contact message. He will send someone to investigate the mercenary who attacked us and is involved in No. 10's personal grudge, and will also give everyone an explanation."

"However, the Imperial Magic Academy Friendly Competition in the Eastern Region has very strict control over the number of academy members. Applications for temporarily withdrawing members and adding new members will be difficult to pass unless there are special reasons. So No. 10 still needs to be with us.

Continue to work hard and create the history of White Swan Magic Academy. I hope everyone will understand and support us."

After speaking, the number one player of the White Swan team looked at Cheng Ke and said: "No. 10, is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

Cheng Ke nodded, stood up, and said: "First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone. Because my personal grudges have involved everyone. Their purpose is probably to just ask about my whereabouts, or to pretend to attack you.

, making you feel resentful and isolating me personally. I have to say that their goal has been achieved. Even so, I still want to solemnly apologize to you."

"In the past two weeks, I have gone to other cities to track down the whereabouts of the human being contaminated by monster blood and his descendants?! But unfortunately, I still haven't found it. But as long as we try to delay the investigation progress of the Freiburg Magic Academy team, we will

I can advance to the next knockout round. I hope to work with everyone to create the history of White Swan Magic Academy."

At this time, White Swan No. 7 also spoke: "Actually, personal grudges will inevitably involve other people. This is something Cheng Ke and the college tutors did not expect. Therefore, I think everyone should not blame Cheng Ke too much. Cheng Ke

Everyone's ability is obvious to all, and it has created extremely favorable conditions for us to enter the next round of elimination. Therefore, as long as personal grudges no longer involve everyone, we will still unite together and strive for the finals of this Eastern Half Empire Magic Academy Friendly Competition.

.”

White Swan No. 9 snorted coldly, but said nothing. After all, Cheng Ke's achievements were indeed in front of him.

Therefore, the members of the White Swan Team discussed the next actions with each other, and after confirming the next plan, the meeting ended.

Two days passed, and the knockout round time was over.

Even if the Black Swan Magic Team did not complete all the tasks, it could be considered ahead of its opponent Freiburg Magic Academy Team after completing half of the tasks, so it could enter the next round of knockout rounds.

At this time, there will be a rest period of ten and five days, and then the next round of knockout competition will begin.

Like the first round of knockout, the second round of knockout will send the content and rules of the competition to each member's Magic Tower contact account. This will prevent the magic academies from tampering with the members.

Cheng Ke also returned to Miss Daphne and accompanied Miss Daphne to play.

The three of them went to the largest city, the Mughal city.

It is the largest city in the Herland region of the Norda Empire. It is the city where the Duke's palace is located. It has a very developed level of magic machinery and business.

Hundreds of magic towers rising into the sky stand all over Mughal cities, airships of various types pass through them densely, and mechanical vehicles rush like torrents on various urban roads.

As an eleven-year-old boy, Cheng Ke played with childish games such as Ferris wheel, circus, rafting, airship, and bumper cars at the request of Miss Daphne.

In fact, Cheng Ke was also afraid that something would happen to Miss Daphne, and he had made a contract with her.

According to the rules of the contract, Miss Daphne must be protected.

It can be said that his destiny is closely related to Miss Daphne. If Miss Daphne is safe, then he is safe; if something happens to Miss Daphne, then he is in danger.

Stanley, the half-dragon mage, did not play with him, but he was able to clean up most of the food while eating.

After these five days, Miss Daphne had a great time.

Soon it was time to send out the rules for the second round of eliminations. While Miss Daphne and the half-dragon mage Stanley were enjoying exotic food, Cheng Ke went to the nearby Magic Tower Contact Service Station and paid 20

A copper pagoda coin entered a liaison booth.

After closing the door, Cheng Ke selected the partition, entered the account password, and logged in to his personal magic tower contact account.

After browsing through the latest news, there was only one message about Miss Kuili.

Cheng Ke,

Where have you been?

——Kui Li

Cheng Ke responded immediately.

Miss Kuili,

I am still participating in the Eastern Half of the Empire Magic Academy Friendly Competition, and have entered the second round of eliminations. It is currently a rest period, so I took the opportunity to bring Miss Daphne and Master Stanley out. Now everyone is in the Mughal city,

If Miss Kuili is free, you can come over and play together.

——Cheng Ke

After sending the message, Cheng Ke waited boredly for news about the second round of eliminations.

The message icon flashes slightly.

——Here it comes!

Cheng Ke quickly opened it and a message box appeared inside.

Then, the message frame suddenly continued to flash, obviously there were many messages coming in.

"There are so many, wouldn't it be a difficult task?!"

Cheng Ke felt a little nervous, but he still focused on the interface and browsed the messages.
