Chapter 251: Reprimands, Rewards, and the Bavarian Race
Fang Plover’s results caused quite a stir after the game.
The reason is that in the history of the Continental League, there has never been a player with all three basic points. This is an unprecedented first time. It even appeared on the front page of the Empire's highly professional newspaper "Alchemist Weekly".
With the title "Genius boy breaks record", the report contained thousands of words.
As a result, although Fang Plover is not a household name in the empire, at least he is extremely well-known among the group of alchemists.
The reporter of "Alchemist Weekly" also specially intercepted a few pictures of him and placed them next to the accompanying text. That happened to be the moment when the projection screen on the field turned to Fang Plover's face. How should I put it... Fang looked on the screen.
Plover looked very surprised. A reporter from "Alchemist Weekly" wrote:
"The super level performance surprised even Ed himself——"
But I am afraid that only Fang Yu himself understands why he is surprised. Of course, he will never tell anyone the reason.
Later, the organizer also gave a corresponding explanation. Ancient alchemy is particularly good at purifying materials. This is a fact that has been known to everyone since the Southern Territory Competition. Those components with almost flawless quality can be obtained by an alchemist with solid basic skills.
In the hands of a warlock, it is not incomprehensible that the super-level assembly accuracy is achieved.
The Mimenos Craftsmen Association also personally confirmed that it was correct. The young craftsman named Kula also checked it and did not express any objection. In addition, people had preconceived ideas about ancient alchemy, so the final test result was reversed.
It also fits the stereotype in people's minds.
However, the accuracy and material processing skills are not bad. The high level shown by Fang Plover in craftsmanship is still far beyond people's expectations. People seem to realize that this dragon alchemist is not only an ancient alchemist.
It's just alchemy. He is also one of the three main generals of the Kaolin team. He is accomplished in elf messengers, aeroplanes, magic furnaces and dragon knights. How can he win the championship in Elfendor without extraordinary levels?
?
People seem to have just remembered the identity of the former legendary craftsman.
He is such a young legendary craftsman.
Analysts from other teams have also been very busy during this period. While re-evaluating the level of the home team of Kaolin-Ithulian, they added new annotations to Fang Plover’s information:
"The level of alchemy is second only to the master craftsman, and deserves special attention."
"Although Ancient Alchemy is slow, the players themselves have extraordinary skills. In situations where Ancient Alchemy is not applicable, special attention should be paid to the fact that the opponent's own speed is not slow at all."
"Beware of the Corinthians digging holes in this area."
Under those evaluations, most of them are underlined repeatedly to emphasize their importance.
However, Fang Plover himself is also receiving "key attention" from the team.
It's basically a hybrid from Soulprint and Hades.
"What did I tell you?"
"Do you feel that you are not noticeable enough now?"
Ms. Ming added on the side: "The talented boy in triathlon has made another breakthrough in the competition. His super level performance has surprised even Ed player himself——"
She bent over with laughter.
Senior Sister Soul waved his "report card" - the front page of "Alchemist Weekly", just like a parent waving a zero-score test paper. Fang Plover, who was completely afraid to say anything at the side, got a zero score in that test.
of primary school students.
He was so frightened that he trembled like a quail in the storm.
Shui Wuming, Mu Lan and Bai Xue were overjoyed.
Others, including the pushy Xiaoyao, were hunching their necks, pretending not to see anything with MTT, Wucun, and Weiyu, lowering their heads and playing the beast-fighting chess game that is very popular among alchemists.
Guland was still young and could not bear to see such a "bloody" scene, so Virus first asked his guard Kuulhan to take the former away.
Luo Wei sat opposite a group of grown men, looking at them with calm eyes.
"Senior Luo Wei, can you stop looking? It's so uncomfortable," Xiaoyao
In fact, my scalp was a little numb, so I couldn't help but say, "We are different from Ed. He is young and ignorant. Are we still ignorant?"
Luo Wei was a little funny and said softly, "Sister Soul doesn't want you to speak for him. Ed went a little too far this time. It's not a good thing to expose his strength like this before the Twin Towers trial. Senior Sister is also doing it for his own good.
"
"I understand the truth," Xiaoyao looked at the shivering Fang Plover, "but isn't Ed a little too pitiful?"
"Don't worry," Luo Wei replied with a smile, "the triathlon has been reported back to the Corin-Ithurian Craftsmen's Association. The association was also very surprised. President Falaise wrote a letter in person.
There will be some commendations for him."
Only then did everyone realize that Soul Fingerprint was so earnest in order to prevent that guy from raising his tail in the sky during the next game.
Sure enough, after a storm of criticism, Soul Fingerprint took out a box, opened it and took out a Morning Star. After she read out the letter of commendation from the Craftsmen Association in public, she awarded it to Fang Plover.
Unlike the worthless medal awarded to him by the Imperial Workshop, this Silver Star came as a surprise to Fang Plover.
He happily wore it under the Hailin Morning Star. The silver star was about two sizes smaller than the Hailin Morning Star, which represented the honor the alchemist had received in the Craftsman Guild.
Everyone congratulated him.
Xiaoyao was still a little envious and jealous, but Fang Pliance's score was indeed an unprecedented one. Not only did it break the record, but it was also featured in the "Alchemist Weekly". This is also a good news for the Kaolin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association.
A great honor.
As everyone knows, awarding a Silver Star is not an exaggeration.
However, Fang Plover protected the glory of the Corrin-Ithurian Craftsmen Guild, but failed to protect the glory of ancient alchemy.
In other words, it was protected, but not completely, only part of it.
On the other hand, it further deepened the stereotype of ancient alchemy among ordinary people.
Even among the alchemists, only a few people fully understand its true meaning. But those people often do not choose to go to the community to refute the rumors flying around, but immediately book a ticket, pack up their things, and go to the empire.
go.
Is——
Alix looked at the calendar, took off his coat from the hanger, put it in his arm, and picked up a top hat. Finally, he looked around his alchemy workshop, confirming that everything was correct, and then picked it up for the trip.
suitcase, and then pushed the door open and walked out.
On the flickering light screen in the pupils, several text messages are popping up:
"Are you planning to go to the Empire?"
"Um."
"Why the sudden sudden impulse?"
"I just wanted to take a look. Aren't Virus and Ming over there?"
"Okay, go early and come back early."
Alix put away his address book, turned his attention to the street, and then walked towards the airport.
Grande——
"Everyone, I have verified it repeatedly," the staff at the airport looked at the alchemists in the hall and couldn't help but spread their hands. "From now until the middle of next month, there are no flights to the Empire.
.You should know very well, right? The north wind is still blowing above the sea of clouds."
"...But you can try your luck at Is. It's further south. Maybe the route to Fasha has been opened earlier."
The alchemists talked a lot and protested loudly, complaining that the services of the Royal Port Authority of Grand Port were not getting better year by year. Last year, the lockdown was lifted in March, but this year it will be postponed to the end of April. If this continues, nothing will happen again.
After ten years, His Majesty the King simply let the Royal Port Authority close down.
Ordinary people really don’t dare to say these words.
But everyone present was a wearer of the Hailin Morning Star, and no one dared to refute it if things went south.
The staff also looked embarrassed. After sending these gentlemen away with kind words, they turned around and complained to their colleagues, "How many batches is this already? If this continues, our Royal Port Authority will not be closed down.
I’ll shut it down first.”
"Just bear with it," the other person replied with a wry smile, "Who told the Dragon Alchemist to make big news in the empire?"
"Isn't it just a victory over the people from the Giant Tree Hill? It's not an empire," the former sneered. "What's more, it's only the first round of the points competition. It's like winning the battle of the Holy King. I think the talents of the Craftsmen Association are
It’s getting worse every year. Didn’t we still have someone in the top ten in the last craftsman competition? In the second world..."
"You don't want your life?" The man was startled, "Your Majesty can't listen to this. Besides, when it comes to the things in the second world, please stop talking."
The former was stunned for a moment, then reacted and closed his mouth.
In Bavalland, there is also an endless stream of people visiting the Grand General Assembly these days. However, among these people, there are few people from the Empire, many people from Kaulin-Ithurians, and even some Guta people. Ordinary people
There are few people, but there are many alchemists.
Outsiders are not surprised by this. After all, the Continental League does not represent the honor of one place or one country, but the entire floating continent. But what is the reason, Soul Fingerprint knows clearly.
At first, Fang Yu taught all the contestants and alchemists the ancient alchemy skills in the Southern Territory. Later, this skill spread in the Southern Territory and then to the North. Another part was brought back to the Treasure Stick Coast for the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association, and there
spread.
She has also studied ancient alchemy herself, and as a contestant in the last mainland league, her talent is not much lower than that of these young people present. Now her level of ancient alchemy can be said to be non-existent, Mu Lan
Above, one can naturally see the world behind the door at a glance.
The fingerprint of the soul is very clear. People who have received the inheritance of ancient alchemy and have certain attainments in it must have seen something from it. These alchemists from all over the world came here impatiently, naturally to find the real
Answer.
But she still blocked everyone from the door.
And only people from the Kapka Craftsmen Association and the Guta Craftsmen Association are allowed in. Soul Fingerprint is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. At present, the mainland league is still in progress, and she will not let any factors outside the competition interfere with her players.
them.
Of course, the people from the Kapka Craftsmen Association and the Guta Craftsmen Association were also contestants, so they were not included in this category. Even she herself was very curious about the answer, but she still refrained from asking questions.
She is the team leader, but she is also an off-field factor.
Let the players discuss it themselves first, she can wait until after the game is over.
It is precisely because of such a team leader with a strong sense of responsibility.
Fang Plover could enjoy some quiet time, and was finally free from the harassment of random meetings, face-to-face meetings, and interviews from newspapers and magazines in the empire.
Next, he just gathered with the players from the three Craftsmen Association teams to discuss ancient alchemy. Everyone on the field had already seen the true meaning of the world behind that door, but they still wanted to get one from him in person.
Answer.
But the answer is actually very simple -
The Numerin elves possess magical power and are in affinity with the elements. They are good at using ether and elements to shape objects. Starting from their own talents, such an alchemy was born.
But the alchemy of mortals found another way, and with the help of external forces, they transcended the gap called "element suitability" that mortals were originally insurmountable. With the help of the magic furnace, they surpassed goblins, surpassed elves, and some people can even compete with giants.
Dragons stand shoulder to shoulder.
That is the pinnacle of mortal life.
Dragon Knight (Sky Knight).
The ancient alchemy taught by Anrothe to Fang Plover is a skill from the elves of Numelin. Logically speaking, mortals who are not born with magic power cannot use it. But with the help of multiple parallel skills from the Abyssal Sea Document,
Use the magic furnace to simulate the elves' affinity for magic, and then use multiple parallelism to depict the magic circles and runes they have used.
Thus reviving this ancient skill.
"So the reason why the art of elf creation seems complicated is because it does not belong to the category of modern alchemy, or even the alchemy of mortals," Fang Yuan said. In front of him, there were Shui Wuming, Xiaoyao and others.
.
also
There were contestants from the Kapka Craftsmen Association. He knew a few of them and had met them at the Southern Region Competition. There were also a few that he had previously interacted with in the Kapka Craftsmen Association. They only met in Kapka.
Those seniors who have met may have difficulty remembering how many times they have met.
After all, at that time, although he was deeply loved by the masters of the Kapka Craftsmen Association, he was actually just a little guy with no sense of existence among the selectors.
Vikki and Zheng Yongzai were also among them. Soul Fingerprint did not like these Koreans very much, but due to the request of the general leader Princess Brianne, they had to let the Guta people come here.
She deliberately suggested that Fang Pulun should have some reservations about the people from Guta. However, Fang Pulun never saw it that way. He knew very well how the Guta Division viewed Kaolin-Ishulian, but his mentor told him,
Different from regional differences in animals.
Misunderstandings between people are often artificially shaped due to lack of communication.
But only sincerity can impress people.
He didn't want to change anything.
But the art of alchemy should not be limited to one place in the world after the star gate of Etalia. It was the Empire who brought this art to the entire mortal world. The great alchemist Ed and his students have since
He did not keep his alchemy secret because of his personal identity.
The skills of mortals also come from the elves of Numerin.
Anrothe is a dragon, its real name is Myrleuthymis, but its student is still a human being.
Alchemy is vast precisely because it is selfless.
Fang Yu continued, "... Mortals do not have the talent for magic, so we must use multiple parallel techniques to reproduce the skills of elves. With this relationship, ancient alchemy becomes complicated."
"But it itself shows the simple beauty of elven alchemy."
"I understand..." Mu Lan also reacted, "The mottled material comes from the impurities in it, but pure elements do not contain impurities. This is why this alchemy seems so close to purification to outsiders.
It’s because of the craftsmanship of the materials.”
"That's right." Fang Plover glanced at her appreciatively. This talented craftsman from Ragnarok showed extraordinary understanding during the Southern Competition, and it's the same here.
"Elf Creation Technique?" Another person raised his hand to speak.
"That's the name I gave to this alchemy. I believe you can understand what it means. Shaping elements from the starlight and using elements to shape the world is the underlying logic of elf creation.
.”
"From starlight, to elements, to matter, there is no need to rely on external objects. You can imagine the scene. With such a magic circle, we can no longer be bound by the venue. At any time and in any place, as long as the starlight
If it is inexhaustible, the creation of matter will continue."
"Isn't that similar to creating something out of thin air?" Someone whispered.
This is exactly what happened.
That is the most wonderful and charming scenery behind that door.
Create matter, even life.
That is the art of creation belonging to the elves.
"Of course, that is the highest state they pursue." Seeing the heated atmosphere, Fang Pliant couldn't help pouring cold water on everyone, "Not even the Numelin elves themselves have reached that step. As for us, we have to consider how to recover first.
Only when you find the highest level of skill that an elf has ever had can you consider taking a step further..."
Mortals cannot directly use the alchemy of the Numerin elves.
What Anloser taught him at the beginning was just a theory. But the way mortals use magic furnaces is very different from the way elves use their own magic. He first turned the elves' theory into the theory of modern alchemy step by step, and then
Only then did it appear on paper.
This is why he came into contact with the essence of ancient alchemy step by step in the sand sea of Istania.
But there are many obstacles behind. He went one step further with the Siren configuration, almost approaching the realm that the elves had touched before, shaping matter from elements, which looked like a creation out of thin air to outsiders - but after that,
It's hard to make any progress.
Even with the help of the Kraken configuration, "creating things out of thin air" requires a huge amount of magic power, swallowing up energy like a black hole. Even at the level of the gamma magic furnace, it cannot last for more than a few seconds. This level is basically impossible to apply.
in reality.
What's more, most of the alchemical creations generated by the Siren configuration are very fragile. Whether it is a clockwork fairy or a lancer configuration, they are many times weaker than the usual ones. They are basically just the same thing.
Where did the problem lie? Fang Pulmon himself couldn't find out what the problem was.
The reason why he wants to gather these geniuses from all over the world here is because he has this idea. His own wisdom is limited, but with so many outstanding alchemists here, brainstorming, there may always be some breakthrough.
.
"Creation out of thin air..."
Everyone was shocked for a moment and couldn't help but murmured in trance.
Even though there are still various limitations in Fang Plover's words, the concept itself is still too shocking. If there is no empirical evidence, or they have not studied this alchemy themselves, then they will definitely regard Fang Plover's words at this moment as nonsense.
language.
But at this moment.
The door is clearly right in front of you.
As if within reach——
Behind the crowd and among the people from Guta, Vikki looked at Fang Plover with a very complicated look. She actually didn’t like the players from Kaolin-Ithurian. She had previously called them "the shopkeepers", but that was Guta.
It’s a contemptuous name given to this team by the competition area there.
But apart from the Craftsman Competition, she actually had no conflict with the Kaolin-Ithurians, she just went with the flow. People around her told her how arrogant the players in the third division were, and she had indeed seen some of them.
people.
But there are always different kinds of people, rude and uneducated people, where are they?
But what Fang Yu was talking about now, not to mention the selectors, even the craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association were completely shocked.
That was a speech that could change the future of alchemy, but the other party had no intention of hiding anything. Kapka and the Grand Craftsman Association were fine with it, but they were from Guta——
People of the mountains.
Are the Corinthians crazy?
But they were the Holy Chosen Ones, those blessed by the Star Gate. The first thought that came to the minds of these mountain people was that this was a lie. But Fang Plover's honesty was obvious. The alchemy they learned
Knowledge makes it impossible for them to refute without facts.
Then there is only one possibility left.
The craftsmen of the Ancient Pagoda Craftsmen Association, including several high-level alchemists, looked at Fang Plover with a somewhat different look. It was pure respect and shock without reservation, just like many, many years ago.
When the first generation of alchemists——
It's like bringing knowledge to the still barbaric world of mortals.
They are students of the Númerin elves.
He is also the founder of the Aitalian civilization.
Nine hundred years ago, the Kaolin-Ithurian Craftsmen's Association was established. Seven hundred years ago, the Ancient Tower Craftsmen's Association was established. It was an era of nascent ignorance, and alchemists spread knowledge to everyone in the world regardless of each other.
An inch of land.
Let the fire of civilization illuminate the wilderness and wild forests, and let the light of the flame dispel ignorance and fog.
Maybe their generation was wrong after all.
Maybe some people are wrong after all.
But the mistakes were never corrected and instead stubbornly took root.
It casts prejudice into hatred and hatred into war, causing men to bleed and women and children to shed tears. It buries lives under tombstones and makes bright, thorny flowers bloom on tombstones.
The exchange meeting was held several times later.
But Fang Pliance was no longer the only one to speak. The alchemists all brought out their own treasured experiences and exchanged them with each other.
The door-to-door view was only briefly broken.
Although the prejudices between regions were only briefly eliminated, it was enough to benefit everyone greatly. Fang Pultru also obtained a skill about heavenly knowledge from Weiyu, which was very important to Delan.
The research on magic recovery is of great help.
Fang Plover estimates that it can increase the progress by at least 10%.
Zheng Yongzai also gave him a crystal, which contained a technique that could temporarily improve his computing power. However, Fang Yu was currently focused on Delan's magic recovery and did not have any more experience to learn other knowledge.
Unlike Vikki, who has complicated views on the Kaolin-Ithurians, this young man from the Ancient Tower Craftsmen Association has a pure admiration for him.
This has been the case since the Southern Realm Competition, and after experiencing this incident, the latter has already regarded Fang Plover as a mentor.
But the biggest surprise for Fang Yu was that after several exchange meetings, he gained a lot of experience. He jumped directly from level 25 to level 1, and after the battle in the north, he finally upgraded again and reached level 2.
This is the stage of level 16.
He did not expect that communicating with his peers would have this benefit. He had communicated with many aboriginal craftsmen before, but unfortunately the results were limited. It seemed that at this stage, the selectors were far more knowledgeable than the aboriginal alchemists.
Just Weiyu, Shui Wuming and Vikki, craftsmen of this level, Fang Yu expected that he would not be able to meet more craftsmen in the first world. Of course, there are people from other craftsmen associations, but will the other party be sincere and sincere to him?
There are still two theories about the alchemy of communication.
He can only set his sights on more realistic things.
Other than that, the first half of the first round was almost without topic.
The only game worth paying attention to was the one between Fang Pliong and the Mimenos Craftsmen Association, but it couldn't be said to be an upset. According to the outside world, the odds of the outcome of the two were about 50-50, because
The reputation of the Dragon Alchemist, the odds of the Corin-Ithurian Association are even lower.
Next is the second half of the first round. The opponent in the second half of the round has already been determined. It is one of the teams selected from the audition. Judging from the first half of the round, it is a weak team.
This game is far from an upset.
The other party selected the two categories of plug-ins and magic tools in a targeted manner for the projects that were missing from the Grand Association. Soul Fingerprint also showed respect and chose the crystal and flexible construction categories that the other party was missing, and returned the favor.
The result was basically a one-sided massacre. Shui Wuming from the Grand Club was in charge of the magic weapon category, while the plug-ins were handed over to Luo Wei. The crystals and flexible structures were naturally handled by Xiaoyao and MTT.
As a result, Luo Wei, who replaced Wu Cun as the plug-in craftsman, also surpassed his opponents in total points. Shui Wuming himself is an all-round player, and he also crushed his opponents in magic tools. The latter's Xiaoyao and MTT, not to mention.
After one round, he defeated his opponent by a huge margin of 192 points to 173 points.
On the other side, Mulan and others also went to find out that the Mimenos Craftsmen Association also won a big victory in the second game. In the end, it scored 194 points, which was 2 points higher than the Grand Association. It was regarded as a comeback.
There are a total of five first rounds of competition in Bavaria.
The next round of competition was scheduled to take place three days later. This time, Grande Club did not continue its "good luck" and faced an overseas team from Lotao. The opponent was not strong, and Soul Fingerprint and Bai Xue were there.
In the first round, Zhongzhi Wucun, Xiaoyao, MTT and Weiyu came on stage and defeated their opponents with a slight score advantage.
In the second half of the round, they also encountered an audition team. The Chinese Plover didn't even play in this round. Soul Fingerprint used the excuse of letting Guland get familiar with the atmosphere of the competition and asked the young man to come up and try his hand. But that was not the case.
The familiar magic potion project was replaced by the magic weapon project with Mu Lan.
Although this young man from Istania is considered a new player, his performance on the field is quite satisfactory. He defeated his opponent with a score advantage of 0.1 points and won a city. However, considering that the opponent was only an audition team
team, so in the eyes of the outside world, Gulland has become the weakest link of the Gulland Association.
And this is exactly what soul fingerprints want to achieve.
No matter how he thought about it, Fang Yu felt that his soul just didn't want him to play.
Of course, this guess was shattered in the third round.
In the third round, he was once again designated by the soul fingerprint as @
Fa, together with Shui Wuming, defeated another team from the Hill of Giant Trees by a large score. Then in the second half of the game, they lost by three points to a craftsmen's association supported by the Imperial Brotherhood.
The three pillars of the Empire's Chosen forces, in addition to the D Alliance and Gray Field, are the famous Brotherhood. The latter was originally originated from the First Free Chosen Guild in the First Division, and later became the
After being incorporated into a super club, it was transformed into today's Third Guild of the Empire.
The largest free-chosen guild in the first division has now fallen on Prometheus.
According to Virus and Ming's analysis, this team is not that strong, at least not as good as the Ayinbrok Craftsmen's Association with the Empire's twin stars, nor the Imperial City Craftsmen's Association supported by GrayField, or even the Mimenos Craftsmen's Association.
Still a little off.
However, the team from Giant Tree Hill they met in the first round was considered a strong enemy. In order to ensure stable points, they used all their best in the first half of the round. In the second half of the round, they relied on a whisper to lead the team and lost to
The situation on the other side is also normal.
After three rounds of competition, the Grand Craftsmen Association has accumulated 576 points, ranking sixth in the standings. Followed by the Mimenos Craftsmen Association, with 574 points, ranking seventh.
It is no surprise that the first and second ranked ones are the Ayinbrok Craftsmen Association and the Imperial City Craftsmen Association, which have the twin stars of the Empire. The Oshu people have always led the other countries in alchemy. This result is not surprising.
.
But the third place, Sanshak Artisan Association from the Hill of Giant Trees, was a bit unexpected.
According to the data collected by Bi Fang, this team seems to have always been smooth and steady, defeating its opponents without any surprises, surpassing the Empire's Craftsmen Association, and trailing behind the first and second.
However, it is often such a smooth and stable opponent that makes people feel the most troublesome.
Afterwards, the fourth and fifth places are both regulars in the previous rankings, but that does not mean that their level should be at this position, or that they are better than the home team of Kaulin-Ithurians.
It is also possible that these teams have encountered weak opponents in the previous rounds and have room for formation, so they will naturally gain higher points.
Ultimately, the first few rounds of the points race don't really tell much from it.
