Etalia has a tradition of holding competitions and celebrations before the start of the winter hunt. This competition was born out of the ancient knight's challenge.
The real rise of various competitions came after the Chosen came to Aitaria. This novel form of competition on Earth aroused the interest of the nobles, and then spread from top to bottom.
Today, various competitions have formed dozens of competition leagues, large and small.
The most authoritative among them are undoubtedly the three major competitions of the Super Competitive League, including the top Second World Competition - which is also the only competition that most real-life fans pay attention to and understand.
However, the current competition should be a small project in Elpaxin, initiated by the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association, so that Fang Pulmon had never heard of it before.
However, he was not very interested in the challenge, but was very interested in the rewards. He couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is the Ring of Golden Flame?"
"That's a magic ring." Luo Yu replied.
"It's the skill of the Numelin elves, brother Ed," Jita took over Luo Yu's words and explained in a low voice: "The Numelin elves are very good at fine magic control. They inject weak magic power into the ring through forging skills.
Among them, they gain very special powers. This technique has been inherited by today's blacksmiths. They are not as powerful as magic weapons, but their biggest feature is that ordinary people can use them without resorting to the power of the core crystal."
"Then what kind of power does the Ring of Golden Flame have?" Fang Piao heard about the existence of such a thing for the first time and couldn't help but asked curiously.
Jita shook her head.
At this time, Tianlan's voice came from the side: "No one knows what kind of abilities the Ring of Golden Flame has. They only know that this ring is one of the most proud works of the owner of this place. Legend has it that it uses the golden ring of a dead dragon.
The eyes are carved and have very powerful power."
Fang Yu turned around and saw Tian Lan and Atila coming back at some unknown time. They separated from the crowd and walked up to them.
Tian Lan threw a brooch on the table with a clang. Others looked at it subconsciously and found that it was a black brooch with half a fire-breathing dragon's head engraved on it. The convex surface was plated with a layer of silver.
Glittering in the firelight.
"What is this?" Luo Yu couldn't help but ask.
The reason why the brooch is said to be half of the dragon's head is because it is missing half of its chin and a dragon horn. Fang Plover's heart palpitated when he saw this emblem. He subconsciously raised his head and saw the huge dragon's head.
The dragon horn was still hanging on the dome of the hall, and there was nothing abnormal in the swaying light of the fire.
Attila then replied: "This thing was discovered by the Black Goat people at the scene."
"Did they give this to you?" Fang Yu asked.
"Is this the only one, sister Aitila?" Jita also asked.
The elf girls all nodded, looking a little haggard.
Tian Lan looked at her very worriedly, then turned back and asked, "Then do you recognize this thing?"
Several people shook their heads.
Only Jita raised the brooch, looked at the light, and then said apologetically: "There are too many organizations that use dragons as their logo. My level is too low, and my analytical skills are not enough to filter out the clues. Ai Ti
Pull sister."
"It's okay." The elf girl forced a smile and shook her head to express that she didn't mind.
Jita put down the brooch again, but said seriously: "But, there is nothing we can do. Fortunately, we are near Elpaxin. Elpaxin has a large library in the Silver Tower, which may be able to help us.
"
"Then let's go to El Paxin," Tian Lan immediately decided: "It just so happens that Brother Ed is going there, right?" She turned back and looked at the latter.
Of course Fang Yu understood what she meant and nodded quickly - not to mention that he was going to El Paxin.
Attila couldn't help but be very moved, and looked at the little guys a little embarrassedly: "But your trainee assessment?"
"Then it will be the middle of the Moon of Light (October). It's still very early." The little French girl looked indifferent, and Jita and Luo Yu also nodded.
Attila took a deep breath, nodded, said nothing, pulled out the chair and took a seat.
Tianlan also sat down and asked curiously: "What were you discussing earlier?" The thick wooden table was a round table, and it didn't look crowded when sitting six people.
The hall was brightly lit and people were coming and going.
In the distance, there was a dwarf holding a lute and singing and dancing with his bare feet on a table. The lute was tinkling, and the adventurers laughed from time to time, drowning out all the sounds.
Fang Plover's attention was irresistibly drawn towards it, and he looked over there curiously.
Jita answered honestly from the sidelines: "Here, we are discussing the challenge, Miss Fuli."
"Ah, that!" Tian Lan looked stunned, and suddenly turned around with great interest: "Speaking of which, brother Ed, you are also a combat craftsman, aren't you going to give it a try?"
When she said this, Luo Yu also looked at the latter with deep understanding. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked: "Didn't you say it's already the finals, how can you still participate?"
Another burst of cheers came from the distance, drowning out the little French girl's answer.
She frowned and said loudly: "This kind of private competition is not so strict. In fact, in addition to the finals, there will also be some performance-based peripheral competitions."
"Peripheral competition?" Fang Yu also asked loudly, but the focus of this poor guy was obviously not on the competition: "Are there any rewards?"
Tian Lan couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Of course, there are three peripheral competitions, and the final winner will receive 50,000 Rissels. And the final winner will also have the opportunity to be selected by the final seed players and become a challenge
If you are lucky, you can also enter the finals."
"Of course," she shook her head, as if she knew the inside story very well. "Just think about this opportunity. The seed players who can enter the finals are all future stars trained by the Grand Guild. The so-called challenge is actually just
It’s just a disguised exhibition match——”
But Fang Yu only listened to the first half of the sentence: "How much is the bonus?"
Tian Lan spread her fingers and shook her head at him: "Fifty thousand, Risel."
"Then where should I go to sign up?" Fang Yu asked immediately.
The little French girl couldn't stand his money-obsessed look and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "We haven't started yet, let's wait for the meal. I'm almost hungry."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be convinced by this wise suggestion.
Attila then pressed the bell on the table, and the ringing sound was transmitted along the thin wire and the pipe buried underground to another hall. There, a dwarf with a beard dragging to the ground looked at the densely hung hangings on the wall.
bell, lowered his head and shouted at the long scroll in his hand:
"Table No. 17, third row."
Behind him was a huge kitchen, which was in full swing. Immediately, a group of brown-skinned little monsters came out from behind and filed out carrying silver dinner plates.
Gremlins are ugly-looking creatures, but they are not bad at heart. Some people think that they have purgatory blood from their brown-red skin. In fact, this is not the case. This skin color is just a protective color for them living in the brown desert of the Oshur Empire.
This is a hard-working race. They were originally slaves of the Oshur Empire. However, after the Battle of Bairn, a large number of dwarves fled into the territory of Kaolin-Ithurion and lived a contented life here.
.
At least that's what they think.
The intelligence of little monsters is generally not high, so they often make mistakes when doing things. For example, a little guy carrying a soup basin bumped into his companion in the rush, making the scene a mess and almost getting dirty.
Jieta's robe.
The dwarf who was supervising their work scolded loudly when he saw this, making the former tremble with fear. But the other adventurers in the hall had long been accustomed to this and couldn't help laughing. Tianlan also giggled when he saw this scene.
It was as if the spilled soup was not what she ordered——
Only Aitila walked over and patted the little guy on the shoulder, telling him not to worry. She also gently told the dwarf that it would be fine if there was no soup, and they didn't care about this little thing.
The dwarf bowed to her.
When an adventurer saw this scene, he stood up and raised his glass: "Salute to you, kind-hearted elf lady!"
Attila also raised her glass in response: "To the owner of the forest, the protector of nature, Ms. Amaya, may she stay young forever -" Rumor has it that Amaya is a lady who loves beauty, and that is her favorite prayer.
one.
Then Aitila picked up the ale in her hand, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, then put down the empty glass and showed it to everyone.
People in the hall who saw this scene couldn't help but applaud loudly, and the cheers were like a sea.
It is rare to see such a generous lady.
Tian Lan couldn't help but clap along, her palms turning red.
Fang Yu sometimes feels that Etila and Miss Scarpe are very similar. Both of them have very angry personalities, but Etila is obviously more gentle. Miss Scarpe can really hit people when she is angry.
of.
People say that the forest elves who follow the teachings of the goddess Aimea are warm and friendly, and the elf girl is a living example.
Today's main dishes at 'Traveler's Rest' are two famous dishes of Talen. Among them, smoked silver trout is a method discovered by sailors in the air and sea of the Cloud Sea - because sailors discovered that the fish meat was salted during long voyages.
It can be preserved for a long time after being pickled and smoked, thus the smoked silver trout was born.
To this day, smoked silver trout has become an important first dish in Kaolin-Ishulian. Tallen silver trout is very different from the silver trout on earth. Their meat is a rare silver color, as if it is thin.
of moonlight.
After being smoked and marinated, the fish is stuck on a snow-white porcelain plate like layers of silver foil, and is decorated with horseradish leaves and celery. The dwarf chefs of "Traveler's Rest" creatively garnished the black olives with
On the silvery flesh, black and white contrast with each other, making it extremely beautiful.
Roast venison is another rugged style.
After being cut open, the tender red steaks are layered like a tower. The oily golden gravy is brushed with a layer of honey, which is fragrant. There are grill marks on the rich meat, and the oil is like pineapple. From the crispy yellow skin,
The top is slowly hanging down, the silver plate below is specially heated, and the juice falls on it and makes a sizzling sound.
The heavy flavor of spices hits your face.
Atila took the initiative to stand up and cut meat for everyone, but Tianlan was very picky about food, picking a little here and there like a precious little princess, and didn't eat much at all.
As a result, Etila received a light blow on the head. The latter frowned and said, "Don't be picky about food."
"But it's far inferior to Miss Atila's craftsmanship." Tian Lan then begged the elf girl to open a small stove for her.
The latter couldn't bear it and could only nod in agreement.
"Sister Atila is too doting on Miss Fuli." Jita looked a little unhappy and said with a frown.
Fang Yu was very curious about Atila's cooking skills, and wiped the grease from his mouth.
At this time, a fierce argument came from behind - he was startled, and then he realized that someone in the original direction was actually discussing the conflict between the Jefflite Red Team and the Silver Forest Spear.
Fang Yu turned around curiously, because the other party was discussing what happened in the elf ruins the day before.
Since he hasn't been on the community yet to follow the follow-up development of that incident, these people's discussions are quite new to him. It turns out that the Jefflite Red Team and the Silver Forest Spear returned to the ruins not long after,
There was a minor conflict.
The reason is to compete for the giant costume called 'Certa'.
Although the giant structure is a product of the previous era and has various flaws, it is at least powerful enough - and the adolite in its body is also a real good thing.
But what Fang Yu really cared about was the name that was mentioned occasionally during discussions.
Miya.
She snatched away the Hailin Crown under the noses of the two major guilds, and naturally became the focus of people's attention. Unfortunately, at this time, the dwarf poet sang something wonderful again, and the cheers from the distance continued, once again overwhelming the discussion.
.
Fang Plover could only vaguely hear the words "witch", "covenant" and "wanted order" amidst the noise of people.
After the applause passed, the discussion among those people turned to the Dawn Star - but mainly on him. People discussed the talented boy who appeared in the community.
Someone swore that Fang Plover was actually a stowaway, so it had attracted the attention of the military.
Hearing this statement, Fang Yu broke into a cold sweat and almost dropped the fork in his hand to the ground. Aitila caught the fork at the side and asked him with concern: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Fang Yu replied with a guilty conscience: "...Yes, I'm a little choked."
"Slow down," Aitila looked at him gently and handed the fork over: "No one will compete with you."
But Fang Plover almost cried.
However, he was still quietly paying attention to the discussion there. Fortunately, not many people believed that person. Because someone was refuting the other party's "ridiculous remarks", his argument was very tenable - stowaways have no system.
If a person without a system can have dual control, then if he has a system, he cannot go to heaven?
The man said harshly that that was why the military took it so seriously.
But it attracted a burst of ridicule.
Fang Yu really wanted to shut up this person, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but have some boyish desire to express himself. He wanted to stand up and tell these people that that person was him, and his thoughts were very complicated for a while.
But then Luo Yu suddenly spoke, and he seemed to have heard the other party's discussion: "Speaking of which, I also watched that video. Regardless of whether he is a stowaway or not, he is really awesome."
"Oh?" Tian Lan argued: "Isn't it just dual control? At most, it has some talent as a combat craftsman, maybe not as good as Brother Ed."
"Really, brother Ed?" She also looked over here.
Fang Yu nodded without knowing what he was feeling.
But Luo Yu shook his head: "It's not that simple. I checked the information about Dawn Star afterwards."
Fang Yu felt something in his heart and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
The young man looked at him strangely, and then replied: "They left a personnel registration form when they accepted the employment of the descendants of Flor, but there was no combat craftsman on it, but there was an alchemist accompanying the team."
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"It's over." He thought, he actually forgot about this. He was just a little transparent at the time, how could he have thought that so many things would happen later? So what was left on the registration form at that time was the real ID.
Fang Plover felt as if his hair was standing on end.
But Luo Yu continued: "That alchemist is very close in terms of age and origin, but there is only one strange thing. He is only a second-level trainee alchemist."
"You're not bragging, are you, Luo Yu?" Tianlan said incredulously: "A second-level trainee alchemist is not a little lower than our level. How can he dual-control clockwork fairies?"
"I'm just saying it's a possibility."
Tianlan frowned: "Okay, what's the name of this weird guy? I'll find someone to check it out for you."
"Don't answer!" Fang Plover shouted in his heart: "Three-body people here! Don't answer!"
At that moment, he only felt that he was a death row prisoner, with the gallows right in front of him and at most three steps to live in front of him.
But unexpectedly, Luo Yuque shook his head: "That's not clear. The descendants of Flor have not announced the names of the personnel."
"Hmph," the little French girl snorted softly: "It is reasonable that they suspect that the Hailin Crown may still be in the hands of the Dawn Star survivors, so naturally they will not hand over the list."
Fang Yu took a deep breath and suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster.
But sometimes the ups and downs in life are so sudden.
There was a commotion in the direction of the entrance of the hall. Everyone stopped talking involuntarily and subconsciously looked in that direction. Then they saw a group of people in black coats walking in neatly from there.
Fang Yu was still a little dizzy at the time, and he didn't react for a while. He thought to himself: "These people's uniforms look familiar!"
But the words of a person next to him almost blew him up from his chair: "Isn't that a member of the Stargate Special Operations Team? Why are you here?"
