"Sir, this road is currently blocked." The staff member who stopped Fang Plover was polite but unkind.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be quite disappointed. In fact, he had expected this, but it was just a fluke. Brianne herself was from the elf royal family, and was equivalent to a member of the royal family in the Kingdom of Kaolin. The accompanying Dawn Guards were cautious and experienced, and had experienced hundreds of battles. How could it be
It will give people opportunities to take advantage of.
He stood on tiptoe and looked inside, then looked back angrily. Thinking of the Battle of Bain, he couldn't help but recall what Querod had said to him.
That war seemed to be deeply involved with the Chosen One, but how tragic was it that would make Querod say such a thing? If he had the chance, he planned to ask Miss Scarpet, after all, they had experienced it personally in the past.
Of course, the prerequisite for a big battle is that he can contact the people from Dawn Star.
The Battle of Byrne took place thirteen years ago, but neither the Oshur Empire nor Corin-Ithurion was clear about the cause of the war. The Empire invaded Nosnica and destroyed the border city of Kadoven located there.
Corin-Ithurian immediately retaliated, and the Seven Heroes were portrayed as heroes who resisted the empire, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of doubts.
Kaolin-Ithurian seemed not so weak when facing the Empire that he needed to create a hero to exaggerate the tragedy. With the Chinese competition area of that era, his strength should be at least on par with the Empire.
The participation of the Avenquin elves in the war also seemed a bit rash. The ancient agreement between the sages and kings allowed them to share their fate with the owner of this land, but at that time there was no fear of overthrow of the kingdom, nor was there widespread war.
The seven heroes, except for Sir Stone Wade who died, the other six all went into hiding after the war. The two dwarf heroes Aksu-Spark returned to Steel Mountain and became the king of the White Stone clan. His brother, Ai
Vernorn-Spark went to the depths of Eldron to undergo the trial of earthfire. There has been no news for almost ten years.
Needless to say, there are three elven heroes. Alanya, Elfina, and Xiaoxing are the elf kings of Avenquin. Another elf hero, Curufin, is still following him. Brianne, Caranthil, and Xiaoxing.
As mentioned above, he retreated into seclusion in the mountains and forests, and has only appeared in El Paxin again until now.
The human hero of the Battle of Byrne, the protagonist's aura as jokingly called by the Chosen. The then suave magician Roban now serves as the court wizard advisor of the Kingdom of Kaolin.
Year.
These people should have done greater things, Fang Yu couldn't help but think so. But he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized the change in his mentality. In the past, he had no doubts about the story of the Seven Heroes, but now when he looked back, he found that the past had happened
It doesn't seem that logical and self-consistent.
Maybe this can be considered a kind of growth.
He thought that when he had the opportunity, he should learn about this war, just like a memorial to the lost youth. And it was not like the previous selectors who could only dig out a few words from the pile of old papers about Etalia's past.
Try to figure out the specious era from the ballads.
Modern people have strict recording habits, and there should be a lot of information about that time in the community.
Thinking of this, Fang Plover returned to reality. Brianne Caranthil-Miaoxing was like a figure that was contrary to his childhood, and the heavy construction of craftsmen was his present.
He then said to the staff member: "I am a trainee alchemist registered in Kapka. I want to complete the craftsman's examination here."
The staff member glanced at him suspiciously, but still nodded: "Then you can go through the side door, and someone will receive you there."
So Princess Miaoxing can go through the front door, while others can only go through the side door. Isn't this blatant differential treatment? On Earth, isn't this a typical political incorrectness? I'm afraid it will cause another public uproar, and the friendly countries are shocked. Fang Pulver holds back.
The desire to complain, who called this place Aitaria?
Cultural conflicts exist objectively, just do as the Romans do.
He had to take Red and Parker to the side door. The lion man didn't take it seriously. He was a gentleman, and it was natural for a gentleman to make way for a lady, even if the lady had been there for some time.
Parker complained that he was hungry again. This made Fang Plover very surprised. "Didn't you just have lunch?"
"And an apple," Rhett added.
"I didn't eat much, just a basket of bread. The butter in that store was really bad, the meat was undercooked, and the cheese had a sour taste. I asked them not to put sea buckthorn roe in it. You know the Papal people don't eat it.
That thing.”
"I have no idea."
Fang Yu replied, and the three of them entered the craftsmen's association from the side door at the same time.
This is actually a small hall where adventurers are usually issued tasks. The three of them passed through a row of suspended metal bulletin boards. Directly in front of them was a counter. Fang Plover heard a dispute coming from behind.
"Lotas, can you be more agile? It's about to start!"
"Damn it, who do you think broke this thing?"
"That was three months ago, you old fool. And I said you only need to replace the parts. You insist on saying that the alchemist is not an assembler. Now it seems that the assembler is more useful than you."
a little."
"Stop making noise, we have already missed the opening speech." Another voice said loudly.
"Don't rush, it's nothing to see anyway! Old Short Legs, have you stayed here for too long and learned the bad habits of humans? When did the upright and simple Ithurians care about those fancy things?
All we care about is alchemy.
The human Fang Plover, whom a few people called 'fancy', was standing in front of the counter, watching these old dwarves chattering and concentrating on playing with a projection crystal.
They argued so fiercely that he was completely ignored.
Fang Yu had no choice but to knock on the counter hard and said loudly: "I am a registered alchemist from Kapka. I hope to apply to complete the official craftsman assessment here!"
There was a sudden silence in the small hall.
The dwarves then turned around and looked him up and down.
"Where did the little one come from?"
"Don't you see we're busy?"
"You said you were an apprentice alchemist?"
"Where is your leader?"
The dwarves said all at once.
Fang Yu was a little helpless. He knew that the dwarves of Ithurian were always stubborn, so he didn't bother to talk. He pointed to the projection crystal behind the dwarves: "I am really an alchemist, and maybe I can help you fix that thing."
.”
"You, repair this thing?" The dwarves all stared with wide eyes.
Especially when one of the dwarves, Fang Plover, recognized him as the dwarf who was repairing the crystal before. The latter shouted at him with his beard and eyes wide open: "Little guy, what are you talking about! You know what's wrong with this thing?"
Well, even I find it difficult. Even if what you say is true, you are just a trainee alchemist. What can a trainee or a young boy do?"
"Aquette is right." Some dwarves agreed.
But before the former finished speaking, he was pulled back by a white-bearded dwarf. The white-bearded dwarf shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, why don't you let him give it a try? Anyway, Arquette has proven that he is
It’s useless, why not let this little guy try it?”
"What are you talking about? Who are you calling useless?" The hot-tempered dwarf jumped three feet high, his beard almost standing up with anger.
But other dwarves nodded after hearing this. "That's right, Arquette." They said one after another: "You have to admit that you are old and your eyes are dim. You have wasted too much of our time, too much."
, you don’t want to miss the most exciting game, why not let this little guy give it a try, maybe what he said is true?”
"That's impossible!"
Arquette said loudly, but he couldn't defeat the others. The stubbornness of dwarves is not only reflected in individuals, but also in groups. In the end, he had to walk aside angrily and looked at Fang Plover with squinting eyes, as if he wanted to
Waiting to see other people make a big joke.
Fang Yu was still curious about what kind of game they were talking about, but this time he made up his mind not to join in the fun no matter what kind of game it was. The lesson he learned at Traveler's Rest was too profound.
The dwarves had already opened the door for him and asked him to go behind the counter to see the projection crystal.
Fang Yu walked to the crystal with some curiosity. He put his hand on the surface of the crystal and inspected it carefully. Akent couldn't help but snorted from his nose when he saw his actions.
"Aquette, shut up!" The white-bearded dwarf said loudly not so much to support Fang Plover, but to attack his old friend.
Arquette rolled her eyes.
But Fang Yu didn't take it seriously. Crystal craftsmen are a specialized category among alchemists. The selectors call them crystal architects. He is indeed an outsider in this field. However, he has a great teacher.
.
Hayne Camp, who designed the Type Zero Crystal and Type One Crystal, is definitely a master in this field.
Fang Yu has been reading the former's design drawings and experiences these days, copied the A crystal, and participated in the transformation of the β crystal. He has gained some experience in this. He had heard these dwarves talk about the problem of replacing accessories before, and was vaguely aware of the problem.
Thinking of a problem I encountered, I couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between the two.
He is a practical person who does what he says, but he is also very technical, so he made such a request. But at this moment, Fang Pliance put his hand on the crystal, and he made up his mind, thinking that it was indeed the case.
It was exactly the same problem he encountered not long ago.
…
It was dull on the field.
Even the stray horses in the stands couldn't help but be affected by this atmosphere and felt a little nervous.
After the start of the main competition, seven teams have already taken the stage to complete the competition. Currently, the team from the Iron Oak Principality ranks first in total points, and the second is the Kaolin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association. These two teams
The team is basically determined to qualify.
From third to fifth, there is a fierce competition. Almost every team that is likely to enter the top five will refresh the rankings after taking the field.
However, what made the Kaolin-Ithurian audience feel even more depressed was that the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association, which they had placed high hopes on, actually made a mistake in such an important part of the competition.
After that, my performance plummeted, and it was basically impossible to enter the top five again.
For this reason, there was silence around the stands. This is the home court of the El Pashin Craftsmen Association, and one can imagine how depressing the atmosphere was.
Ms. Aisha next to her also clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and she was almost crying.
Wandering Ma couldn't help but look around awkwardly, and while adjusting the viewing angle of the shooting system, he saw that through official traffic diversion, the number of people in his live broadcast room had increased several times compared to the past.
However, most of the spectators were asking what happened. Although not many people knew about the Continental League, people at least knew that Kaulin-Ishulian represented the Chinese Division, but something was not quite right about the current situation.
The audience in Elpaxin was lifeless, and not far away, the faces of the representatives of the Kingdom of Knights of Ancient Towers were filled with proud smiles. As for below the stands, the heads of the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association once again met with the Kingdom of Knights of Ancient Towers.
There was a dispute between the organizers of the competition.
The fierce arguments even reached the stands.
"What's wrong?" After hearing this, the wandering horse couldn't help but turn around and ask.
The old dwarf lady rubbed her red eyes and said angrily: "The airship riding on behalf of the Kapka Craftsmen Federation encountered a storm. According to the rules, the game time can be adjusted, but the people in the ancient tower did not
Agreed, they are only allowed to adjust the competition order of the Kapka Artisans Association until the end."
Wandering horses know that it is completely unpredictable whether they will encounter a sudden storm on the open sea. No one dares to easily pass through the turbulent clouds, not to mention that there may be lightning and thunderstorms. It is normal for the ship to stop and wait for the storm to pass.
matter.
"Since it's a rule, why do you need to ask for their opinions?" he asked, a little confused.
"Because it's just an established rule," Ms. Aisha replied a little embarrassed, but her voice became a little angry: "This is a tacit understanding in the alchemy world. At least people don't want to see the competition being changed by the contestants.
This kind of thing often happens. In the last round of competition, we even accommodated the third-ranked Guta team. I didn’t expect these people to be so despicable and calculating.”
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
The wandering horse also frowned: "What will happen if it is overdue?"
"If the time limit is not reached, it will be considered as a waiver. If the Guta people do not pursue the case, they can continue to participate in the next round of competition. If they do, they will not be able to participate in the subsequent games. But even if they do not pursue the case, there will be one less round of competition.
With points, we are basically out of the top five.”
Only then did the wandering horse realize the seriousness of the problem. He had done his homework before. The three strongest teams in Kaolin-Ithulian were the Kaolin-Ithulian Craftsmen Association and Elpa.
Xin Artisan Association and Kapka Artisan Association.
In previous years, these three teams have also long represented Kaolin-Ithulian in the Oshur Empire. All three teams have won the Continental League championship in history.
Now the Elpaxin Artisan Association has basically no hope of qualifying. If the Kapka Artisan Association team abstains again, then there may be only two teams from the Kaolin Kingdom appearing in the Oshur Empire finals this year.
The words of the dwarf lady also caused the live broadcast room to explode. I have to say that the domestic viewers still have a sense of justice, and they hate betrayal the most. The Kaolin-Ithurians accommodated the Guta people in the last round.
The third team, in people's minds, the Guta people should be polite to each other in this round of competition, but they didn't expect that the other team would turn their backs on each other. This despicable behavior immediately angered the audience.
The gentlemen in the audience yelled and cursed in the live broadcast room, and the stray horses smiled bitterly and did not dare to speak out. The Kingdom of the Ancient Tower Knights also has the power of the Chosen. Apart from the descendants of Flor, it is the largest power of the Chosen.
Actually, he is Korean.
As for the performance of Koreans in international competitions, although Wandering Ma is just a scenery anchor, he has already heard about it.
However, there are some things that the audience members can say, but he cannot speak easily. After all, some of the things he says are politically incorrect.
So the stray horse could only pretend not to see it.
