As soon as Immortal Worm's protest came out, there was silence all around. It is rare for people to cheat in the Artisan Challenge, but once someone cheats, the Artisans Association will often deal with it very strictly, ranging from a points penalty to being expelled from the ranks of artisans.
However, since the Craftsman Challenge itself has no restrictions on equipment, few people will check the equipment of the contestants - there are no taboos in the first place, so there is no need to check.
But the current situation is somewhat special. Everyone can see the abnormal performance of Fang Plover's clockwork fairy, which is completely different from the clumsiness of the first half.
Even if the strength is hidden, the incredible spin recovery is difficult to explain - it is not something that a second-level combat craftsman can do through his "own strength".
However, the dwarf referees did not expect that their guesses were already close to ten, and they were still gathering around and whispering:
"Will it be an off-site substitute match?"
"That's not possible." The referee stroked his pointed beard and shook his head decisively: "We provide the clockwork goblin, and the linker on the core crystal will only be you. You and I have checked it, and there can be no mistakes.
"
"What about lying about your level?" another asked sharply.
"That's even more impossible. Have you forgotten that tonight is special?"
"That being said, that's right. Those tall men have also tested the contestants' levels, so there can be no mistakes -"
"But there has to be an explanation?" All the dwarfs frowned.
In the end, the referee, who was very experienced, put his hand down from his beard and said, "How about asking him for his opinion?"
So all the dwarfs ran to the table and asked Fang Plover: "Contestant No. D12, Contestant No. B3 wants to inspect your personal tools, what do you think?"
There’s no need to ask—what’s the point of letting other people see what’s going on inside the glove? Now there’s only one intact silver track left inside. Although there were two before, the onlookers wouldn’t care that much.
Using a silver rail to control two clockwork goblins was almost like a fantasy. Once word got out, Fang Yu understood with his toes that he was here to explain tonight.
So he shook his head decisively. "No."
The dwarf judges had actually expected this answer. There was no precedent for inspecting alchemist tools in the Craftsman Challenge, because the competition itself did not limit what kind of tools the combat craftsmen used. The idea that Fang Plover used his tools to cheat actually stood up.
Can't stand still.
However, such an answer could not calm everyone's doubts, nor was it enough to silence everyone.
So the dwarfs turned back to look at the referee.
The referee was also in trouble and hesitated: "Although there is no precedent for inspecting alchemist tools in the Artisan Challenge, contestant D12, you have to explain the previous situation, right?"
Fang Yu scratched his head, how could he explain? He didn't know the principle himself. Even if he knew the principle, it couldn't match his level and panel. Or should he honestly say that he was a dragon knight? A first-level dragon knight? First of all
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he might as well hand over the gloves honestly.
The atmosphere on the court was a little awkward for a while.
At this time, the immortal worm on the side said in a weird voice: "Since player D12 is unwilling to explain, I won't force it, but I ask player D12 to change the control gloves when competing with me on the same stage. Isn't this too much?
"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this proposal - is this not too much?
Even the referee team showed a look of embarrassment on their faces. Most of the battle craftsman's control tools have been modified by themselves. This is why the alchemist's tools are generally not inspected in craftsman competitions because it involves technical confidentiality.
And if you use a tool that is handy, once it is replaced, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the strength of the contestants. The sinister intention of the immortal worm is basically Sima Zhao's intention, and it is obvious.
Everyone looked at Fang Plover, wanting to see what choice this young man would make.
But Fang Yu was different from what they imagined. The former looked at the immortal worm in shock, as if looking at a retarded person: "You really want me to change my gloves, are you sure?"
The Eternal Worm saw his expression, but thought he had a trick, and said sarcastically: "Haha, you are scared after losing your biggest support? It doesn't matter. If you are scared, I will give you a chance to abstain, so you don't have to embarrass yourself on stage."
"Contestant No. B3, pay attention to your words and deeds," the referee said quickly: "It is prohibited to threaten or intimidate contestants."
Fang Yu almost laughed out of anger at this guy.
Although the young man was a little ignorant, he was not a saint. This damn fat man dangled in front of him again and again, always targeting him inexplicably. Even if he was a clay figure, he would still be a little angry.
He shook his head and said kindly: "I just hope you don't regret it."
"Me?" The immortal worm almost laughed out loud: "Regret?"
Everyone's glasses were shattered. They didn't expect this young man to agree - he was still too young! Even the most skeptical person before could not help but shake his head, let alone Hu Di who was standing aside and beating his chest.
The referee team was also surprised and couldn't help but confirm repeatedly: "Are you really sure, player No. D12?"
"I'm sure," Dan Fang plover scratched his head. What annoyed him was another question: "But I don't have any extra control tools."
"Plop -" the immortal worm spat out a mouthful of water, "Haha, you made me laugh so hard. You and that shabby Mr. Bird are like birds of a feather. Is it that miserable? Do you want it?"
"Hahaha," the Immortal Worm laughed with tears in his eyes: "You made me laugh so hard. You said you don't have any extra control tools. Are you that miserable? Do you want me to give you one?"
Fang Plover gritted his teeth as he looked at this disgusting guy.
But everyone couldn't help but laugh. Although the alchemist was not said to be rich, but as a profession, they had never seen someone in such a state of poverty.
Only Tian Lan was so angry that she clenched her silver teeth, wishing she could go up and argue with her, but as soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back by the elf girl and gave her a fierce look.
So the little French girl could only give up aggrievedly.
The referee team was a little dumbfounded for a moment. The dwarf referee touched his pointed beard again and said: "In this case, let's make a change and let our competition team provide the tools-"
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the immortal worm: "Wait a minute, Mr. Referee, I remember the rules of the competition. Contestants are not allowed to use equipment other than their own."
The dwarf referee was suddenly stuck. It was really unpleasant for this fat guy to disrupt the situation again and again. He couldn't help but look at the opponent angrily: "Then what are you going to do?"
"It's not about my preparations," the Immortal Worm had been waiting here and replied, "it's about player D12 having to use his own equipment. This is the rule."
"It's the equipment for myself and my team." At this time, Hu Di came over and corrected him.
The Immortal Worm was not in a hurry and replied: "Okay, I missed it. But maybe Mr. Rags is the teammate of this 'friend' - don't cheat, the public's eyes are sharp."
Hu Di actually had this idea, but he couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this fat man's threat.
The crowd let out a low boo, but this time it was for the immortal worm. They were not blind, so of course they could see that this damn fat man was messing around.
It's just that the immortal worm is thick-faced and doesn't care about it, and looks proud of it.
Just when the scene reached a deadlock, a sudden voice suddenly rang: "I have gloves!"
Everyone turned around, especially Fang Plover who was a little surprised. Only then did he realize that the person who said this was Luo Yu who was standing behind Aitila. The tall boy came out and said again: "I am
His teammates have been registered before entering the hotel, so Ai...Xia Ya can use my equipment?"
The referee's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at Mazak who was not far away. After receiving confirmation from the latter, he nodded quickly: "If that's true, of course it's okay."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the immortal worm on the side. The fat man's face was a little gloomy. He obviously didn't expect that Fang Plover was so down and out that he actually had teammates. But the rules were like this, so he couldn't object and had no choice but to nod.
Luo Yu then opened his backpack in front of everyone and took out a gorgeous control glove.
The glove is all golden and made of brass. The upper part is a streamlined metal shield, and the lower part is densely covered with pipes and gears. The outer shell is painted with lush branches and leaves using gilt carving technology, and each piece is protruding.
Together, they guard an empty dial, which is engraved with a line of small characters 'XII, Soar, 173, 1, 12' to indicate the identity of the craftsman and the date of manufacture.
The entire glove looks like a handicraft from the Victorian era.
"This is..." Hu Di's eyes widened.
Someone in the crowd had already shouted out for him: "The fourth generation gimbal from Kingfisher Workshop!" When the immortal worm saw the gloves from the side, the fat on his face shook.
Control gloves have gone through three generations of improvements. The previous generation was the ancient slide-rail control gloves, but they have been eliminated for many years. The current mainstream is magic buoy-type control gloves, among which the products of Kingfisher Workshop are the most popular, and the third generation is the ancient slide-rail control gloves.
The fourth generation gimbal is the latest generation product, and its price has always been high on the market.
This kind of control glove controls the posture of the flexible structure through the pointing of the magic buoy. It is known as the most sensitive, complex and precise control glove. Because the magic buoy can point in a vector, the gimbal is also named after it.
Luo Yu carefully picked up the glove and handed it over.
Fang Yu looked at him, a little strange: "Luo Yu, why do you have craftsman gloves?"
But Luo Yu did not answer his question, and only whispered: "Help me teach that annoying fat man a lesson."
The two looked like they were biting their ears, but the latter insisted on speaking clearly and clearly, so that everyone around could hear it clearly. A low laugh could not help but come from the bystanders, and the immortal worm was half-dead with anger: "I protest
, he insulted me!”
But the dwarf referee raised his eyebrows. "The protest is invalid, the opponent is not a contestant."
So the laughter became even louder.
Immortal Worm's face turned green and white. He couldn't help but look at Luo Yu, and he couldn't help but cast a gloomy look at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the serious Luo Yu to have such a side. He couldn't help but glance at the fat man and nodded: "I promise, he will always remember your glove."
"What a shame!" the immortal worm sneered.
Fang Yu took the gloves, turned around, and looked at him.
"Let me ask you one last time, B3 player, do you really want me to change my gloves to fight you?" When he said this, the aura of a young boy disappeared from his body, and his whole person was as calm as a towering mountain peak.
If it's Capka——
Those craftsmen will understand at this moment that someone is going to be unlucky.
Everyone is silent.
Luo Yu and Tian Lan also looked at him with some surprise.
Not to mention the Immortal Worm, who didn't even answer at the first time. It took him a long time to react. He wiped a cold sweat and said strangely: "Don't bluff here, I will make you embarrassed later."
Fang Yu glanced at him and nodded to the referees: "I'm ready, gentlemen referees."
The dwarf referee also nodded to him in good faith.
Because too much time was wasted, the competition team stopped doing formal things - let the little monsters clear an open space in a hurry, and after briefly announcing the rules, let the two contestants enter
field.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the first match happened to be a showdown between the Immortal Worm and the Fang Plover.
The third round is the last round of the qualifying round. This round will determine the two final winners from the first two rounds. These two winners will have the honor to compete with the losers in the official competition.
Competition, the winner of the latter can enter the final round of the Craftsman Challenge.
However, the hope of winning the official match is too slim, so the third game of the qualifying round is usually the default final round.
The scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for this grudge showdown. Fang Yu took the backpack from Miss Attila, nodded to the latter and walked onto the field.
And on the vacant playing field, that damn fat guy Eternal Worm was already waiting for him there.
The Immortal Worm actually felt something was wrong at this time - but he still managed to maintain his dignity and said two words: "If I were you, I would give up and leave immediately to avoid embarrassment later -"
Fang Piao was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so he just put down his backpack, untied the knot on it, and released his walker from it.
The Immortal Worm was still curious about what this guy was doing with a backpack, but when he saw the 'walker', his eyes widened. Not only him, but the entire peripheral arena was slightly silent.
Then he burst out laughing in an instant.
Many people burst into tears laughing.
"Sky!" Although Tianlan didn't know much about combat craftsmen, she could still see the strength and weakness of flexible structures. She had never paid serious attention to Fang Plover's 'walker' before, but now she suddenly saw
I couldn't help but hold my forehead: "Brother Ed, is his brain broken?"
"What's going on?" The Papalar man shouted anxiously below: "Would one of you pick me up!?"
But no one paid him any attention.
Hu Di also stared at this scene dumbfounded, but they were still doing well.
After the immortal worm was stunned for a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing. He laughed so much that tears and snot flowed from his nose, and he almost rolled on the ground.
He held his stomach, laughed, and said breathlessly to Fang Plover, "This...is this your combat flexibility? Haha...hahaha, wooden...walker...still so small?"
Haha... Hahaha, don't be joking... Ouch, my stomach hurts so much... Do you want to laugh me to death so you can win the game? Hahaha!"
People laughed louder. Although most people didn't agree with the immortal worm, Fang Plover's walker was so funny.
Really, they have never seen such a 'cute' battle craftsman.
"This little guy is so cute." Several female adventurers even laughed so hard.
But only Fang Plover didn't smile.
And Mazak, who was watching this scene from a distance, didn’t smile either——
The former adjusted his walker and stood up.
He looked at the immortal worm not far away and said lightly: "I hope you can still laugh after a while."
Of course the immortal worm could laugh. He saw that Fang Plover didn't even bring the magic furnace, and he was even more determined. He was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but suddenly he swallowed his own words back in his stomach.
.
Because he saw Fang Yue extending his right hand diagonally downwards, the dial on Jin Cheng's control glove shell lit up slightly, and the magic buoys lit up one after another, one, two, three... until twenty-four, they
They rotate together in a clockwise direction, and then return to their respective positions.
The whole process was extremely smooth.
Then the twenty-four magic buoys disappeared one after another, and finally only six were left pointing in different directions.
The Eternal Worm swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rubbed his eyes, and almost thought he had seen it wrong - but Fang Plover had already raised his hand and whispered: "Sword Plover, attack!"
Two rays of silver.
The immortal worm quickly retreated in horror, and then remembered that the rules of the game did not allow him to attack himself, and then he stood still in shock. But at that moment, the sword plover had already circled around the back of his shield guardian like a ray of silver light.
He has never seen a flexible structure that is so flexible——
In shock, he quickly asked his shield defenders to counterattack, thrust out the spear from behind the big shield, and saw that it was about to hit Fang Plover's flexible structure.
But this is the moment.
The immortal worm suddenly opened its mouth wide, with a look of extreme shock in its eyes.
It wasn't just him, everyone around the entire arena held their breath in unison.
Fang Plover raised his hand, and the six magic pointing buoys on the dial rotated from bottom to top, and then moved left and right. Seventeen or eight changes were made at the same time in an instant, which was almost dazzling.
I saw the 'Sword Plover' seemed to come alive, swaying slightly to avoid the spear. Then it jumped forward, its six legs lifted off the ground one after another, and actually started to fly in mid-air like an octopus.
He grabbed the shield guard's spear and climbed up.
"Not good!" The immortal worm then reacted and flicked it with his hand. The shield guard also raised his spear and waved it, trying to throw it out.
But it's too late——
Fang Plover's walking was like a tarantula ready to go. He jumped forward and landed on the shield guardian's head. "It's easier than the elder sister's head." He shook his head, then raised his right hand and five fingers.
Close together and stroke gently from left to right.
Shield defenders are a special type of heavy-duty equipment, and their giant shields are their main means of protection.
But the body is nothing more than that.
A silver line crossed.
The shield guardian sank down, his knees landed on the ground at the same time, and he knelt on the field. A head spun and flew high, and fell to the ground with a 'bang' in the eyes of everyone.
dusty.
The construct's headless body leaned forward and fell heavily.
So on the field.
Only the immortal worm, the walker and the square plover remain.
The young man raised his head, still raising his hands in the air, looking at the other person.
The dark eyes were calm, only the pupils expanded outward like flames.
