With less than half an hour left before the allotted time, "Star Chaser" is about to begin.
It stands to reason that all the participants have already arrived, and now all it takes is the honorary referee's order for the game to officially begin.
But at this moment, the thousands of contestants with varying strengths are still waiting silently.
They had no capital to resist, so they could only stand there and wait for arrangements.
The legends who came to watch the ceremony were also waiting, but the treatment was very different from them.
Although it is said to be on-site, it will not really be a circle of stands around the island, and then each legend will be given a bottle of happy water and a bucket of popcorn.
That's too unreliable.
As the Jia Silin family is famous for its wealth, it is natural that they would not allow outsiders to find omissions like this to attack them.
Cruise ship.
"The Honor of the Nobles" - Super Giant Magic Cruise Ship.
This super cruise ship, powered by magic energy, was parked on the sea outside the island of Star Chaser like a Big Mac.
However, unlike other cruise ships that sink under the water, the huge cruise ship is close to the water and floating above the water.
The bottom and keel are luxuriously inlaid with a large number of floating stones and anti-gravity arrays, which provide buoyancy by burning a large amount of magic raw ore.
It's a pity that the Silin family's strength is not enough to support them in obtaining a better power source. Otherwise, the configuration of this cruise ship can really fly into the sky, instead of barely floating on the water like it is now.
For further energy, it not only requires raw materials, but also requires the use of higher-tech magic energy engines.
And this not only requires money, but also requires even more amazing strength to protect it.
This strength is enough for the Silver Council to unite, but it is not enough for the Jacelin family alone.
As for the legends not urging it to start until now, there are two reasons.
On the one hand, it is because everyone is looking forward to the arrival of Augustus, and on the other hand, it is the question that someone just tried to ask in a joking tone:
Where is the referee?
Where is the honorary referee who should have been on the scene early?
The honorary referee is a tradition in "Star Chaser". One of the invited legends will be invited to serve as a symbolic referee.
Under normal circumstances, honorary referees will not actually participate in the refereeing work of the game. At most, they will only say a few words at the beginning and end.
For this candidate, either the strongest person, the oldest person, or some special status reasons are selected.
However, because the situation this time is different, the choice of honorary referee has become more subtle.
Who is qualified to be this unique "honorary referee"?
Because of the special nature of this event, there were many more legends present than in the past, with a full fifteen legends coming to the scene.
Don't feel like this amount doesn't seem like enough.
You know, before this "Star Chaser" only had at most seven legends present at the same time, which was less than half of the number this time.
Even among those seven, one was invited from other families in the Silver Council to support the scene.
Not to mention anything else, just calculating the legendary power here at this moment is enough to go to some remaining mysterious realm of gods and sweep several times.
And, because of Augustus, half of the legends here are spellcasters!
Even if he is not a spellcaster, he at least has some spell-like abilities.
If they really want to fight a high-end battle at the legendary level, they can blow up the mother on the other side without recognition just by using forbidden spells and long-range attacks.
At this moment, the chatting and laughing legends on the top floor of the noble honor looked towards Keynes.
He looked at the former Silver Council Speaker who made no secret of his second-level strength and frail old age.
As for the old man, after announcing the candidates, he stopped explaining and gently put down the wine glass in his hand.
The scene fell silent for a while, only the orchestral music played by the band echoed on the deck.
The scene was not silent for a long time. Soon Legend came back to his senses and muttered:
"...[Sword Holder]?"
Not all legends have heard of this name. A red-haired legend said subconsciously after being stunned for a moment:
"Uh, who is it? Is it an ancient figure? Why haven't I heard of this name?"
He muttered quietly, and the friend with blue eyes beside him explained:
"No, it's a new person, a new judge of the trial. I heard that he seems to be from the Watch Club."
"As for the title of [Sword Bearer], it is because he pulled out the legendary long sword in the hall of the trial house and is now the holder of the [Word of Judgment]."
Newcomer? Judge? Word of Judgment?
The red-haired legend tilted his head and said curiously:
"Legendary Judge?"
"Well, he has legendary strength, but he seems to be a lonely guy. He had conflicts with other people in the trial court from the beginning. I heard that the relationship has not improved yet."
Blinking his eyes, the red-haired legend became happy and gloated:
"You got offended by everyone when you came up? It's a tough one. What's the result?"
The two legends are indeed friends. The blue-eyed legend shook the wine in the glass and said with a smile:
"He is living a good life, and he even scolded those who tripped him up."
"As for others, they are also living well, but they may feel a little sad after being scolded."
The red-haired legend immediately laughed and patted his thigh hard.
"Okay! Hahahaha..."
The laughter was hearty, and it also put smiles on the faces of other legends.
They have all had more or less contact with these legends and the Inquisition.
Generally speaking, people don't have a good impression of a group of guys who keep hiding in the dark and are cold and cold every day.
It is really a pleasure to see such a person deflated.
And their laughter also made the aura of the legend who just asked Keynes in a mocking tone become increasingly gloomy.
His expression cannot be seen, because all reactions are blocked by the mask depicting frost and thorns he wears.
And those who would cover themselves up in this situation are 90% from the same place.
Judgment House.
[Grand Duke Cold Thorn], a legend from the Trial House.
He just asked Keynes the question just to guide the topic, hoping to eventually become the honorary referee this time by virtue of his unique background in the trial court.
Although he is not an adjudicator, isn't it more than enough for a legend of the trial court to serve as an honorary judge?
But what he didn't expect was...
The position of this honorary referee was actually decided early...
And it’s the same sword-wielder who insulted him last time!?
The expression under the mask became sinister. He turned back and looked coldly at the red-haired legend who was smiling the same way. Then he turned back to Keynes and said:
"I believe he won't refuse... Could it be that he didn't give you an answer? Do you still want to keep waiting?"
The voice took on a cold color, and Han Qian's disguised politeness disappeared, revealing his original character.
"You can say that."
But Keynes was unaware of the threatening words and nodded understandingly:
"We have sent the invitation letter before, but have not received his reply yet."
I didn’t expect that Keynes would be so disrespectful this time, and he is still pretending to be stupid now!
Grand Duke Hanci also completely gave up the idea of being vain and conciliatory, and asked coldly:
"Since he didn't agree, shouldn't he reject it by default? If you use such an excuse, you are not planning to play tricks on us, are you?"
There was no truly legendary pressure, and it was a bit embarrassing to use it on a second-level old man, but the feeling of being at the top for a long time was indeed not concealed at all.
A cold aura emerged, shrouding Keynes, trying to crush the old man's spirit.
It's a pity that Grand Duke Hanthorn was disappointed, and the backbone of Jia Silin's family did not bend at all.
Keynes sat upright in his seat, spoke calmly, and explained seriously:
"Grand Duke Hanthorn, this is not the Jia Silin family mocking you."
"It's because I think the sword holder is the most suitable candidate, and I believe he will definitely agree to my invitation."
This is the explanation for Grand Duke Hanci, and it is also the explanation for other legends.
"If the sword holder does not show up on time in the end and causes corresponding consequences, then our Jia Silin family will naturally bear your anger."
Standing up from his seat, the old man leaned on crutches and bowed his head slightly towards the legends:
"But please don't forget that even if the Jia Silin family really dares to play tricks on more than a dozen legends, they will not have the guts to disrespect the Archmage."
"Please believe in my respect for Lord Augustus."
Moving the Archmage out made the expression on the face of Grand Duke Cold Thorn change, and in the end he no longer dwelled on the previous issues.
Ah.
With a sneer, Han Ci, who was unable to get off the stage, mocked:
"Then just wait. How will you explain it to the Archmage when you see it?"
"Let me see if the sword holder has the guts to appear in front of us."
Does a guy who may not even be a legend dare to come under the nose of a group of legends?
Regarding the last rudeness, they naturally would not be willing to be scolded in vain, and they went through repeated deliberation and research afterwards.
From every movement, breathing, pause, and change of tone in every sentence of the sword holder entering the door, they tried to find the overlooked details.
As a result, they really found it!
Although the sword holder exudes the aura of a legend, his power control is unqualified, at least not to the level that a legend should have.
It is even said that the guy who only dares to appear in the dream world from beginning to end is not sure whether he has an entity or not.
It’s hard not to think too much about it, and you can’t find any information at all outside!
clatter.
As if on purpose, the sound of metal rubbing and colliding with the ground sounded behind him.
Lord Cold Thorn:!!!
laugh.
Feeling that his neck was penetrated by a sharp blade, the Cold Thorn Archduke's expression changed drastically, and he instantly activated several layers of defense prepared on his body, preparing for the next counterattack.
But his preparations were destined to be wasted, because the attack he feared never came.
The pure white knight appeared silently and stood quietly three meters behind Archduke Hanthorn without taking another half step forward.
"you!?"
When he removed the hand that was holding his neck to stop the bleeding, there was no trace of blood left on his palm.
Everything I felt just now was just an illusion.
Recalling how nervous I was just now, my embarrassment turned into an angry roar:
"Sword Bearer!!?"
A gender-neutral voice with no discernible gender came from under the helmet and said with indifference:
"No need to shout so loudly."
That tone sounded like he was speaking to a child who could only vent his fear by howling in anger.
