Ander Uriel couldn't help but sneered after hearing what the other party said: "...The young man over there? Could it be that he is a contestant?"
He shook his head: "...Humph, Tongbi Tou, you old guy is still as cunning as expected. You are no match for me when you play chess, so you are trying to find ways to get back face by finding tricks outside the game?"
A deep roar immediately came from the crystal.
The nasal voice yelled angrily: "Don't worry about who the person I find is, old blacksmith, I am the president of the Alchemist Alliance, and my students are all over the world. It's not like you who can't find them by digging.
As an heir, you can’t use this to restrict my students, right?”
"Who can't find an heir?" Ander Uriel was stunned for a moment, and his face darkened. As the saying goes, it's not his fault that he hasn't found a student in these years. Is it because he doesn't like him?
Those rotten wood qualifications.
The successors of the Southern Alchemist Alliance are really inferior to each other.
When the voice in the crystal saw that he was angry, not only was he not afraid at all, but he looked very proud: "So, old blacksmith, where is your student?"
"He" Ander-Uriel stared, and was about to speak when he remembered that the two young men beside him were not his students. However, he looked back at Fang Plover and Sylvide, but his mouth remained silent.
Throwing in the towel: “My students aren’t here?”
Tongbi Tou laughed loudly: "Since you are here, why don't you dare to compete with the people I found?"
He replied in a deliberately shrill voice, "I think you are scared, old blacksmith. After all, I have never heard of you having any students before. Didn't you find someone from somewhere to make up your name? How about I give you a face?"
, help your young man find a weak opponent?"
A deep laughter came from the crystal.
Ander-Uriel took a breath of cold air. Although he knew that this was the opponent's way of provoking the general, he was still almost angry to death. He raised his white eyebrows and became furious: "What, I don't dare? Tongbi Tou,
Did you make something wrong? In the past few decades, which time have you ever won against me?"
This sarcasm obviously touched my heart. He hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and finally said calmly: "...It's just this time."
The laughter coming from the crystal was even louder, almost making everyone laugh. It was obvious that Ander Uriel and Tongbi Tou were not the only two people in the crystal, but there were also many others. The laughter of these people,
Tongbi Tou shouted: "Shut up."
He then turned around and asked angrily: "Old blacksmith, do you want to compete or not?"
Andre Uriel narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in his silver-gray eyes: "Beat, why not, no matter who you are, I will make you lose this time and be convinced!"
There was a disdainful muttering from the other side:...Humph, you damn duck has a tough mouth..."
The old man squinted his eyes again, then turned around and looked at Sylvide and Fang Pliance.
Fang Yu couldn't help but wipe off a cold sweat. He thought to himself that most of the craftsmen in the crystal were also respectable people. Why were they all arguing like children here and comparing everything?
And listening to the other party's name, he finally realized who the 'Copper Nose' on the other end was, the current president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance. The other party seemed to be called Suonan Steel Eyebrow, since he was from the Steel Eyebrow family, of course.
The dwarf clan of Ithurion.
However, dwarves work closely with craftsmen's guilds in various places, and it is not surprising to hold the position of president. Did you know that the president of Elpaxin's craftsmen's guild is also a dwarf, Rogerta, a Stone Mountain dwarf of the Spark Clan.
Sonam Steelbrow's Southern Alchemist Alliance is naturally not as famous as when Ander Uriel was in office, but to be able to become a leader, one must at least be at the level of a great craftsman.
And Mr. Ander Uriel actually asked him to compete with the other party in the first place? This was too disrespectful. No wonder the 'Bronze Nose' didn't want to accept it, and Fang Yu couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
However, instead of feeling uneasy, he was rather eager to try. After all, even standing on the opposite side of a behemoth such as the descendants of Flor and the Dragon Cult did not make him toss and turn and have trouble sleeping and eating.
What's wrong with playing chess with a craftsman guild leader? If it's too big, you'd have to give up, and the other party can follow the network cable to eat you? On the contrary, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. After all, you can experience first-hand what the world's top craftsmen are.
level.
Andre Uriel turned around and saw the little guy's face beaming with joy. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. After all, when the little girl from the Albert family grabbed this dumb-headed green hand, he didn't see him happy either.
It looks like this.
He had watched the little girl of the Albert family grow up, so he naturally knew how outstanding this little girl was. Not to mention her birth and background, she had also grown into a tall and graceful beauty. Just like her mother when she was young, she was taking the exam.
Lin-Ithulian has many suitors.
He originally wanted to cheer up the young man, but when he saw Fang Plover's old-fashioned expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Little guy, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Fang Yu was still stunned for a moment: "...Mr. Ander Uriel, what do you mean?"
Ander Uriel was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong:
He gestured and asked: "...for example, what will I lose?"
When Fang Yu heard this, he scratched his head and smiled shyly.
The legendary alchemist and former president of the Southern Alliance, Ander Uriel, thought that the other party would give him a confident reply: 'Lost, how could you lose?' To be honest, he didn't like it too much.
A flamboyant young man.
In Ander-Uriel's view, alchemists should be calm and low-key, cautious and thoughtful, and passionate about their craftsmanship; but in the Southern Alliance, especially among the Chosen Ones, such young people have become increasingly
Come less and less.
This is probably the generation gap, he thought to himself; but after getting older, his temper is not as direct as in his prime. If Fang Plover answers like this, he can actually accept young people. It is normal to be arrogant.
.
As long as 'Tongbi Tou' can be given an unforgettable lesson, he will accept it.
But what this legendary alchemist and former president of the Confederacy never expected was that
Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied: "...If you lose, you lose?"
There was a "clang" sound. Parker was looking for something interesting on the bookshelf at the back. Hearing this sentence, he bumped into the bookshelf and was almost buried alive by the books that fell from it.
Not far away, the little monsters saw this and ran over screaming, and then pulled the latter out from underneath.
Sylvide listened to the answer and couldn't help but let out a sigh, and laughed out loud rarely. The girl's eyes were crooked, and she looked extremely beautiful.
Ander Uriel was so angry with this guy that he was speechless. He finally regained his breath, couldn't help but glared, stared at this guy seriously and said: "Listen up, kid, you can do anything, but
Absolutely can’t lose!”
"ah?"
"Ah what, did you hear that?"
Fang Plover looked at the smiling Sylvester beside him, and then at the serious-looking legendary alchemist in front of him. He probably thought about why the other party looked so stern, and then nodded seriously.
But in his opinion, if the opponent is not the president, he will not lose...right?
Seeing him nod, Andre Uriel turned around with some uneasiness. But after asking and answering these questions, he always felt that this young man was a bit unreliable. He had to admit that in the Southern Alliance,
I have met the young generation of craftsmen.
He was arrogant and arrogant, but at least he still had some basic skills. He couldn't help but have a doubt in his mind about his ideas. Did he make a mistake? A young alchemist should be full of confidence.
?
At least not like this guy.
Over there, the old craftsmen of Crystal Water quickly rearranged the chessboard.
However, Fang Yu saw that the new chessboard was very different from the original one. There was no longer a straight, criss-crossing network of light on the chessboard, and the large and small structures on it also disappeared.
The new chessboard no longer looked similar to the second training mode Shana gave him, but more like what he had seen in the Continental League.
It was a huge sphere composed of countless light points connected together.
As soon as Fang Plover saw this thing, he understood.
It was obvious that the old craftsmen used to play chess in a higher-level training mode, and for his confrontation with the young opponent, these craftsmen changed them to a much more basic venue.
This is basic adversarial training for computing power
The ship officer lady stood aside, her light blue eyes also reflected the ball of light, but her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly said to Ander Uriel: "Is this a basic computing power training confrontation?"
Ander-Uriel nodded.
Sylvide thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Can I try it too?"
The old man was stunned. Basic computing training was actually used to select talented newcomers. Therefore, a professional alchemist was not necessarily required to participate in this kind of confrontational game.
However, although this little girl from the Albert family is half of the Xilin-Spica family, she has hardly shown much interest in alchemy since she was a child.
He watched the little girl grow up, and he naturally knew this. Maybe it was the life at Mrs. Burler's house that made her have some changes? But he also knew that she had been precocious since she was a child, and would never make a blind move: "Little girl,
Girl, what do you mean?"
Sylvide glanced at Fang Plover, then nodded.
Fang Yu was also a little surprised and looked at the latter in surprise. He had never heard that the ship officer was also interested in these things.
Ander-Uriel pondered for a moment. The other party was the granddaughter of his old friend, and he had watched her grow up. Naturally, he would not refuse to agree to even this little thing. Seeing that the other party insisted, he nodded and stopped the crystal.
People among them:
"Wait a minute, everyone."
"What's wrong?" Tongbi Tou was obviously a little unhappy because of what he said before: "Old blacksmith, why are you so mother-in-law? This is not like you."
"Shut up," Andre Uriel replied angrily: "It's nothing, it's just that we need to change someone here."
"Substitution?"
Tongbi Tou cursed: "Old blacksmith, are you going to take action personally just to save face?"
Ander-Uriel was so angry that he didn't get mad at this guy. He thought to himself that no matter how shameless he was, he wouldn't go out to deal with a junior himself. "Tongbi Tou, if you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, don't talk.
Can you please speak to your underdeveloped brain?"
He said angrily: "It's the little girl from the Albert family. She wants to give it a try."
"ah"
A low cry came from the other end of the crystal.
Then there was no further text.
…
Tongbi Tou, or the current president of the Southern Alliance, was walking down from the high platform. Just as Fang Plover imagined, Suonan Steelbrow was a standard dwarf, possessing all the characteristics of a dwarf.
For example, they are petty, bad-tempered, loud-voiced, and stubborn. However, the stubbornness and concentration of dwarves also allow them to go further and further in the process of alchemy. Dwarf craftsmen like Sonan Steelbrow often have unique skills.
In fact, that's what he is.
In his early years, when he served in the Grand Craftsmen's Association, he was one of the authorities in Corin-Ithurian alchemy and medicine. After coming to the south, he was also a top master in potions, and he served as three
The Vice President of Alchemy and Pharmacy of the Artisans Association.
According to his own words, he is a well-known figure in the alchemical circles of Kaulin-Ithurion.
Of course, Ander Uriel scoffed at this.
The dwarves of Eldron live in high mountains and cold areas, and their big noses often turn red in the severe cold. However, Sonam-Steelbrow is an exception. His nose was damaged due to the experiments of alchemists in the early years.
It's yellowish, more like metal.
Therefore, he got the nickname "Bronze Nose".
Like most dwarves, he himself didn't mind the nickname too much. After all, it would be a shame for a dwarf to not have a resounding nickname.
The hall is bustling with people
Just as Ander-Uriel guessed, the Fenrik region is preparing for the final finals of the upcoming Kaulin-Ithurian Continental League. From Talen, Guta, Ithurian and
Teams from all over the Baozhang Coast have arrived at this place one after another in the past few days.
Many of these people are electors.
Or should I say, most of them are.
At this time of the year, it can be said that the best young generation of alchemists in the Kaolin-Ithulian Division gather here. In the early years, the finals were usually held in Grande.
However, the choice of the southern border this time was obviously to ease the tension between the north and the south and to show goodwill from the Craftsmen's Association.
But I am afraid only God knows how effective it can be.
Suonan Gangmei's old face turned red. He didn't expect that the person who asked to participate would actually be Arecio Xilin Spica's precious little princess. He also received favors from his grandfather in his early years. Although the dwarf
He has a bad temper, but at least he won't betray his trust.
What's more, how influential was the previous head of the Xilin-Spica family in the Southern Territory?
Even a legendary alchemist like Ander Uriel, who was famous for his reputation, was once just one of the opponent's assistants.
So as soon as the latter opened his mouth, the crystal fell silent.
Some people were even a little surprised: "Our little princess is back?"
"Shut up and keep your voice down!"
Suonan Gangmei didn't bother to listen to the discussions of these old guys. He had been in the south for fifteen years and had already regarded it as his second home. Moreover, the south was as warm as spring. Compared with the severe cold in Eldron, it was...
So much better.
He put down the crystal, walked off the high platform, and said to a middle-aged man on the side: "Did you hear that? There is a new person coming up over there. The other party has a high status. You should also change someone and find a less powerful opponent.
Come."
The middle-aged man was slightly startled: "Who is the other party?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Suonan Gangmei replied: "This is an opportunity for you. Take advantage of it. If it weren't for the young people in your team who I am most optimistic about, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you Guta people."
The middle-aged man shrugged.
Corrin-Ithurion, both dwarves and humans, looked down upon the ‘barbarians’ of the Knights of the Ancient Tower.
However, he was just an Earthling, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the 'chain of discrimination' between these aborigines. He nodded after hearing this, bowed politely, and then separated from the crowd and walked out.
The middle-aged man walked through the hall and came to the side of the hall door. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. There was a thick circle of people surrounding him. Among the crowd was a smaller magic training engine, which looked the same as the one in the center of the hall.
There is almost no difference between that one, except that it is not connected to the magic network.
A light net is projected above the magic training engine.
A boy and a girl are each holding a resonance crystal, located at both ends of the light network.
However, compared with the girl's calm face, the boy was obviously sweating profusely and looked nervous. When the middle-aged man separated from the crowd and walked in, the latter finally couldn't help but let go of the crystal in his hand and shook his head dejectedly:
"I lost... Damn it, I almost lost."
"Almost?" The girl raised her head, a little aggressively: "I'm not serious, you're much worse." She snorted softly again: "The Crown of the Silver Forest is nothing more than that."
The young man said something to her that made her face turn red and she couldn't say a word.
An angry curse came from the crowd: "What are you talking about, you stinky woman!?"
The girl turned around and saw only a group of members of the Silver Forest Spear stopping a cursing young man. If Fang Plover were here, he would definitely recognize this man's ID as Liu Liyue. And beside him, there was a Qi
The little girl who was shouting: "You damn stick, what's there to be proud of!? Do you have the ability to compete with me?"
Vikki only shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention to these boring people.
It was at this time that a voice came from behind her: "vikki, come here."
The girl fiddled with her hair, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong, coach, are you ready over there?"
"No," it was the middle-aged man who spoke. He shook his head: "The other party is planning to replace someone. He is an aborigine. I heard that he has a high status..." The middle-aged man looked at the girl and narrowed his eyes.
The boy with glasses: "Yuhao, you do this."
The young man nodded somewhat dullly.
"It's so troublesome." The girl couldn't help but complain.
