640. There is also a gap among seventh-level magicians.
Lu Yu left the field in silence, turning a blind eye to the praise from the stands. When the secretaries of the coalition asked him what he thought of this hearty victory, he replied "boring".
Not to humiliate Theodore again, Lu Yu felt from the bottom of his heart that the intensity of the competition did not meet his expectations.
Since Sarah and Carlton, Lu Yu has not encountered an enemy that can make his nerves tense all the time. He is eager to meet an opponent that can make his blood boil. Only in this way can he verify his own individual state.
, exactly how far we have come.
"If you don't want parallel imports, let's get a more powerful one."
"Where are those who are strong not because of the gifts of the world, but because they are strong themselves?"
Lu Yu's wish was not fulfilled. The six levels he encountered in the next two rounds were equally fragile. The only difference was probably that they had pretty good actual combat experience and were able to fight back.
The process of the four people advancing to the main competition was lackluster. Even Herola seemed to be stumbling, but she broke through with her outstanding performance in Serenity Garden.
What really opened Lu Yu's eyes was off the court.
A competition has a price, and how much you can get depends on how courageous you are and how superb your acting skills are.
Before the third round of Lu Yu's preliminaries, a stranger met him on the street. During a brief conversation, the price he offered Lu Yu was "a complete ocean-going ship that can be directly operated."
The cost of building a ship that can sail under the chaotic sea conditions of the magic tide is staggeringly high, and the accompanying one-year profit share of the route can make countless people's hearts beat faster.
There is no need to deliberately give up or lose the game. All this requires is that Lu Yu slightly delays the game in the third round.
The seventh-level fight against the sixth-level, the first two rounds were perfect, and the amount of money he had bet on himself, Lu Yu could imagine the ocean of wealth formed by all kinds of coins and materials without entering the casino.
The same people also found Lulu, and they set another condition - do not damage the battle field to a high degree.
Lu Lu's simple and crude fighting method made the ground inevitably pitted and covered with lava after the game. The referees were always nervous, fearing that the first "point-to-point failure" in this game would occur in the game they were officiating.
.
The magician who fought with Lu Lu was under great psychological pressure. He watched a huge sun fall from high altitude, but his own magic was perfectly resisted by Lu Lu who was retracted into the fire ball. The suffocation and oppression of the giant thing caused
Opponents who have reached Lulu will not be harsh, but will readily shout to admit defeat, for fear of being half a minute too late.
Gambling is pervasive.
They can place bets from any angle, the most magical attributes used in the game, which player was injured first, whether they surrendered voluntarily, whether the referee intervened in the confrontation, etc.
If the Star Reacher Competition is a continuation of the knightly competition and entertainment for the entire Durderan noble class, and a place of opportunity for countless capable people to change their lives against the will of heaven, then the Star Reacher competition for the people at this time is a cyclical
A gambling spree, and these people also regard it as an important opportunity to change their destiny.
The Duderan Commercial Federation prohibits match-fixing, and the penalties are extremely harsh. However, the huge profits from gambling have made many of them who own casinos choose to turn a blind eye during the preliminaries.
Progressive but short-sighted, greedy yet seemingly restrained, Lu Yu really didn't know how to evaluate the business consortium's practices.
The 60 people who broke through the preliminaries and advanced to the main round were evenly divided into ten groups. Under the single round-robin system, the top two in each group entered the next stage, and the remaining people entered the resurrection round to stand by.
After passing round after round, there are not many six levels left, but just like the sentence Lu Lu saw in the publication before, "When you reach the main competition, the level can no longer explain everything."
During the free time waiting for the group, Lu Yu and others really started to study their opponents. After watching the performances of several favorites, Sera commented that "it was far from being as easy to deal with as imagined". Then her performance in the preliminaries was revealed to the naked eye.
It can be seen that she has become serious, as if she is preparing for rehabilitation for the upcoming confrontation-after being transformed into briquettes, she has not fought as an individual for a long time.
During the chat, she casually asked Lulu about the feasibility of replicating the briquette potion, and seemed to be looking forward to something.
The player information provided by the official was far less diverse than publications and casinos. Lu Yu, who had never observed other players, took this rare opportunity to examine other ruthless characters who might become his opponents.
"The noble son under the starlight", a patient with severe daydreams, the eldest young man Ricard who wanted to pull the meat from other people's bowls into his own bowl was not in the same group as Lu Yu. This made Lu Yu somewhat regretful. Throughout the preliminaries, he was eager to
When a more powerful opponent appears, he can't help but think of this young man who was born on the referee's bench.
"It would be great fun if we could send him to the playoff group in the preliminaries, right?"
It's a pity that the draw did not side with Lu Yu. Ricard also easily exposed the parallel importers along the way and successfully entered the game. Moreover, he really had a grudge against Lu Yu, and every time Lu Yu's trash talk before the game would
It was copied and adapted.
Lu Yu said, "Friend, what kind of seventh level are you?" Rikar stole it and changed it to "What kind of magician are you?"
Lu Yu said, "There is also a gap at the seventh level", and Ricard also stole it, but this time he seemed to have no idea how to change it, so he had to change it to "There is also a gap among the contestants."
The most outrageous thing is that Lu Yu easily defeated his opponent with summons. The next day, Carl also responded from the air and used a template that Lu Yu was completely unaware of to summon humanoid summons made of flowers to join the battle.
, and defeated the opponent.
Lu Yu, who was belatedly aware of the incident, even found out about it after Sera covered his face with a pillow and woke him up from a lazy nap.
The Star Reacher Competition spans a long time, which means that the magic information that each player is good at will be quickly studied by all walks of life. As the game progresses, weaknesses will gradually be exposed, so almost every player who wants to go far will
There are one or two different special genre techniques. It is obvious that Ricard uses summons to cover up the magic he is really good at.
According to interesting statistics from relevant publications, the number of magicians using summons in this competition has increased sixty times compared to the previous one - there was only one summoner in the previous competition, and he was eliminated in the preliminaries, and Duld appeared on the stage.
Lan summons the peak.
This year, there are four main contestants like Lu Yu who always use summoned objects to fight and are basically known as summoners. This number has been called "irrefutable proof of the revival of summons" by Duldran.
Without exception, these four summoners were not born in academies. Instead, they rose from the bottom. Their backgrounds and resumes were scrawled, as if they were telling about the difficult time they spent learning magic.
There is not much space to introduce the four summoners, but Lu Yu has won the favor of some publications, and they have spent some space analyzing the Shadow Kingdom summons that have appeared.
On a scale of 1 to 5, shadow replacement is given a score of 2. The reason is that after discussion with experts, the editor of the publication feels that the role of shadow replacement seems to be only interference, but cannot provide more threats, which is very useless.
The Headless Horseman has a score of 4. They believe that the Headless Horseman is more of a threat than the shadow substitute and is also very mobile. The only drawback is that they cannot counter the upcoming attack with magic means.
A crude warrior with magical properties.
The Serenity Garden, which appeared briefly, and was the same model as Herola, only scored 3 points. The reason is that experts feel that it is indeed not strong based on the power it has shown so far and the tests it has withstood.
Herola, who was deepening her relationship with the quiet garden in the room, was very unhappy. She felt that these lovely combinations of darkness and morning glory should be perfect.
"Cute." Sera glanced sideways at Lu Yu, "She said it's cute."
"No problem. After watching them for a long time, don't you think that the Flesh Chariot and the Demon-Eating Tree are also cute?"
Serra said helplessly: "Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black."
"Do you still have a chance to stop being close to Mo? You have learned my language, my knowledge, and my ideas. We have become one, and we are connected to each other. Wake up, we are destined to be inseparable."
Sera was stunned for a moment and snorted softly, turned her head, and changed the subject: "What is the way they evaluate summoned objects, experts, what experts?"
"Anyway, this expert is definitely not a summoner. He who truly understands summoning and has watched the whole process of the game may think about whether to communicate with me."
Lu Yu pointed to his page in the publication and said, "Look, they also said that I am already the summoner with the highest ranking and best performance in all previous competitions."
"I don't think you're famous for this, but for your weird pre-game remarks that made you famous." She recalled as she swayed her feet and read a book, "I went out to buy ingredients a few days ago, and there were a lot of them.
People are saying weird things about you."
"ah?"
"Don't you know?" Lu Lu patted the soft bed, and his whole body bounced up like a kitten. When he fell down, he was already sitting in a duck sitting position. "It seems that it was first passed on by the dignitaries to each other, and then it became common among the people.
, now everyone is learning from Rikar, modifying your sentence patterns to express various expressions."
Lulu thought for a while: "For example, if two chefs have a dispute over cooking skills, the one with the endorsement of a noble will be confident enough to say, 'What kind of chef are you?'"
"For example, if there are two blacksmiths, the one who has forged better equipment can proudly ask, 'What is your craft?'"
"Didn't you say in the first match of the preliminaries, 'I'm studying my opponent for the main match?' A player with a well-known noble background also imitated what you said. As a result, he unfortunately overturned in the hands of a sixth-level magician.
Now that sentence has become a weapon to ridicule him, and ordinary people who feel that it has offended the nobles have said, 'I decided not to go after studying it.' It is full of irony."
In today's Star Reacher competition, everyone from dignitaries to common people are saying strange things. Not only Lu Yu's, but the effective trash talk of other contestants has also entered the stage of repeated tasting, and the level of discussion has never been higher.
While almost everyone has adapted to the trash talk session and is enjoying it, there is one person whose pre-game interactions are always silent.
The most eye-catching star of this Star Reacher competition is still Black Flash Ellegre. This girl who has never taken off her veil used terrifying consecutive kills to push through the entire preliminaries, leaving every spectator behind.
What is most striking is the residual magic power that is still so strong that it cannot be dispelled even after the game is over, as well as her straight and slender thighs when wearing a corset skirt, and her graceful figure that attracts people's imagination.
Like a walking advertisement, Dashwood's house has never been more lively, and everyone who comes to the door has surprisingly the same purpose, which also gives this year's off-site news a flavor that the public likes to hear.
Sera watched one of Elleg's games because the occasion was suitable.
"Maybe, it's almost the same as me."
Coming from Serra, this is extremely high praise.
Allegor has used dark attribute magic so far, and her strength is very precise. Every player she sends out is only in a coma, but not seriously injured.
The ability to move and retract freely, such strength, and such actions quickly gained praise from the nobles and old-school knights.
No one said that Ellegor couldn't play. They seemed to like Elleger's cold and silent characteristics. Many contestants who were aroused to conquer, as well as the dignitaries in the stands, were all fascinated by her temperament.
From time to time, you can hear their voices longing for someone to knock off Elleger's veil.
The group draw results were communicated to the area where each main draw player stayed through the video provided by the magic circle.
Lu Yu, Sera, Lu Lu, and Herola were divided into groups two, five, seven, and ten respectively. Not being in the same group made the three people who had already started fighting together a little disappointed.
Elleger, who had been crowned the number one demon king, was divided into ten groups. Herola drooped her face and sighed: "Have you run out of luck when you meet the teacher?"
As the players were drawn one after another, a familiar name fell into the second group of Lu Yu.
"Great!"
The same "yes" also sounded in Rikar's room. Even though he was staying in a separate courtyard provided by the government, he still followed Laman and waved his fist heartlessly in front of all the servants.
"I asked you to abuse your food all the way to the main game. If you follow those wild words, you are lucky. Now, the game is over."
"I didn't meet Ellegor, but I met you. It's good luck. Next, it's time for everyone to see the true power of me, Corvo Ricard. I can do what you can, and I can do it."
, how do you respond?”
At the same time, three of the four summoners who advanced to the main stage frowned.
For no other reason than that, they were divided into nine groups and were about to face a brutal summoning civil war.
Lu Yu, who was excited to defeat the people who coveted his treasure, looked at the lottery results and smiled bitterly. Even if he included the quota for the resurrection match, the number of people summoned in this Star Reacher competition would be greatly reduced.
It seems that few of the summoners I met along the way were lucky.
