Starting from Jiujie, our next destination is a trading city in the northern region of Ethiopia.
It is called Adulis and is located about six kilometers underground in Eritrea. In 1984, a French archaeological team began to excavate the Adulis site on the surface. Sixty years later, another German archaeological team dug through.
He entered the underground palace three hundred meters below and found this deep cave leading to the underground city.
"Since then, this city, as a settlement of Greenstone people, has also become one of the venues for the Luna Cup every year."
"This piece of land close to the Red Sea is fertile and fertile. It is the granary of the 15th, 16th, and 17th districts. Not only is it rich in materials, there are three salary kings who have devoted themselves here and dedicated everything to this fertile land."
"Adulis is almost the most prosperous place in the entire underground world and the most suitable place for Homo sapiens to survive. There are gold coasts, sunny beaches, and hybrid beasts from all over the world."
"The cities built around the three terminals of Nine Realms, Sky Dome, and Giant Mountain are far inferior to Adulis - so, children."
The boss stood in front of the auditorium of Galahad Academy of Magic and talked about a theme with thousands of teachers and students present.
"This year's Best Luna Cup will be held in Adulis."
"This is your graduation season, and it is also a game for the brave. The young people who win the highest honor of the Luna Cup and finally win the crown are the stars of tomorrow in the underground world."
"I think you have all heard of this grand ceremony more or less. We have to go through layers of selection, starting from the county and town level competition areas, fighting our way through to become regional representatives, and finally 48 teams from 48 regions will go to Afghanistan.
Dulis fights for victory."
"No matter where you come from, whether you come from a poor family or you have been wearing gold and jade since you were a child, for the Luna Cup, it only favors the brave."
"You can call on three or five of your friends to form a team together, find an old senior with coaching qualifications, gather six people and start fighting immediately, or you can go to various cities in the underground world with the graduation certificate awarded to you by Galahad Magic Academy.
Looking for a club.”
"We have major international manufacturers like Rheinmetall as sponsors and reliable Laiyang Steel Pipes."
"We have weapons companies like Mitsubishi Military Industries that are reaping bonuses, and we also have practical Yiwu workshops."
"You have all heard of my name to some extent. There are many nicknames outside. Many historians regard me as Bast, the Egyptian moon god."
The kitten switched to a gentle and friendly female voice——
"——Is it the image of a black-haired, green-eyed cat girl with a clipped sound?"
The teachers and students in the audience were sitting upright, and many teachers began to cough and laugh in embarrassment.
The boss then said——
"——I don't understand, but I also accept this title, because the cat god and moon god in Egyptian mythology were originally gods of war. Later they became gods of family."
"The anonymous war king brought us a valuable era of peace, but peace has never been the theme of this world. After World War II, the mortal world ushered in a long period of peace through nuclear deterrence."
"But there are no large-scale hot wars. Armed conflicts in local areas, friction and bloodshed have always existed."
"Just like there is no crazy butterfly, there will still be fear and violence. We must face our own hearts."
"There are two skills that human beings rely on for a living, which have supported you until today. Almost all soul power is related to them."
"The same is the making and use of tools, which I call intelligence - you love it very much and have sanctified it more than once."
"The other is the use of tools to destroy life. I call it bestiality - you are very afraid of it and have demonized it more than once."
"These two characteristics exist objectively in your hearts and will never be changed by individual will. They are immortal. One determines how we reach the modern age, and the other determines how we go to the future."
"They are equally important, there is absolutely no trade-off or cut-off."
"Without intelligence, science and technology will disappear forever."
"Without the bestiality, romance and art cease to exist."
"It's a bit of a tangent. Let's get back to the topic of the Luna Cup."
Aohun Mingde stood with his legs straight upright on the podium in high spirits.
"Release your violence and passion, rack your brains to defeat your opponent, control your inner desire to kill, and awaken your fighting talent."
"The format of the Best Luna Cup is simple and clear. The rules are written in the brochure. As long as you can get a decent result, your hometown will receive an expensive development fund and your name will become the school.
Turn it into a hospital, turn it into an amusement park.”
"You can become a hero in the eyes of your fellow villagers. I will wait for you in Adulis and personally crown you with the crown of bravery."
"Television broadcasts, live broadcasts on online platforms, streaming media and radio, whether in big cities or small villages and towns, 430 million people around the world are watching this duel."
"You are an athlete, but you are also a fighter."
"The club needs you, the advertisers need you, the fair-skinned and beautiful cheerleaders need you, and the strong and fleshy male models who work with brands also need you."
"Look for love, look for friendship, and look for the most important moments of victory and defeat in life!"
"Guangling Zhixi needs you, the Green Gold Guards need you, your big boss is watching you, in the much-anticipated Emerald Stadium in Adulis, the center of the hall that can accommodate 60,000 people, this stadium is always in the hot summer
Cities, they are all calling you."
"And there's more!"
The good cat paused for a moment and waved its little paws.
It waited for a few seconds and carefully observed all the teachers and students on and off the field.
"Get out of campus! You can lose your hat!"
The students who were welcoming the graduation season burst into thunderous cheers and threw their books and bachelor's hats into the sky.
The amiable boss stretched out his arms, and the King Hunter carried him off the stage. When they returned to the background, some unexpected little stories happened.
In the dressing room, the king hunter sat next to the boss, watching the boss put away his dress and change into casual clothes.
The king hunter asked: "You seem to be very happy?"
The boss responded casually: "The Luna Cup is very important. To people, it's like the Chinese New Year - it's the New Year. Of course I'm happy."
King Hunter: "We held this competition a few years ago, but I didn't see you so happy then."
boss: "Times have changed, my waiter."
When it came to this matter, the boss turned away his head and explained patiently and seriously.
"We defeated the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult. Although it was only temporary - it was also a fierce head-on attack. It was a crushing victory and a new beginning."
"The economic base determines the superstructure. For sports competitions like the Luna Cup, if a region cannot afford food, there are man-eating monsters that have been entrenched in the city all year round, lying on people's bodies and grinding their teeth and sucking blood."
"Then the same is true for the young people coming out of this place. They can't even guarantee their survival, so how can they talk about sports competition?"
"Corruption problems in various regions used to be very serious. A governor in a think tank told me clearly - when there is a natural disaster in a local area, the people cry, but the officials smile. Because they can cheat the superiors and conceal the disaster relief funds and donations.
, labor recruitment and reconstruction appropriation, eat as much as you can, with a mouth full of lard.”
"It's different now. From the Luna Cup every year, I can see the spirit in the hearts of young people. The girls and boys who come out of these places, the poorest counties and the richest counties, are crying or crying.
Laugh, they are physically and mentally thin or strong - none of this is deceptive."
"Of course." The boss immediately changed his words, "Except for Chinese football."
"The cherry blossoms are blooming again in my hometown." The king hunter said in Japanese: "It's great to beat Germany in the World Cup."
The boss was hard-fisted after hearing this, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, the King Hunter's eyes changed frequently, scanning from the full-length mirror in the dressing room to the floor, and followed the rustling sound to the fireplace.
The boss changed his clothes and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
The king hunter became alert and took out a cane from his storage bag.
"A little mouse sneaked in. I don't know if it's an assassin. Don't worry, I'll protect you."
She protected the boss behind her and called for the power of her soul.
"cat people·leopard print hottie!"
A humanoid phantom body with eye patterns and spots emerged from the body of the King Hunter. It floated beside the main body. The dense and complex patterns on its body emitted an orange-yellow phantom light, maintaining a fighting posture.
In just a few seconds, a reckless young man fell out of the fireplace, covered in soot and carbon powder.
This black guy seemed to be exhausted. He fell over on the carpet and coughed up thick dust and soot from his mouth. When he opened his eyes, the round brown pupils represented that he was an Asian and an Oriental.
"Boss! Boss! I see the boss!"
Aohun Mingde: "Did I just turn on the stealth mode in the auditorium? You can't see me?"
"No, no, no!" The young man originally looked at the cat with his head turned upside down. Now he turned over and became more energetic. His mouth opened and closed to reveal his white teeth. His hair was still messy. He patted it randomly a few times. The sofa next to the fireplace
It was covered with dust.
The King Hunter was relieved when he saw this scene - this was Galahad's student. For some unknown reason, he dug a tunnel leading directly to the dressing room.
"Boss!" The young man stood up carelessly, without being particular at all. He grabbed the carpet and wiped his face, finally looking like a human being: "My name is Shao Jinghao! I just want to meet you! Let's get up close! Take a good look face to face.
!”
This time the boss won't be able to deal with it. It said: "You can become a passenger and come to the cabinet to annoy me to death every day."
Brother Hao has reached the age of twenty. At this moment, he has grown to a height of 188 centimeters, with broad shoulders, muscular muscles, and is strong and strong.
"I won't graduate until next year! Then I'll be bothering you every day!"
The good cat's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't expect that this kid would actually take this joke seriously.
It seemed to have seen another meteor, so it asked.
"Who is your classroom teacher?"
Shao Jinghao replied without thinking: "Teacher Gunsmith! And Teacher Meteor!"
This kid's voice was as loud as thunder, and the boss's teeth were itching to hear it. He understood where Shao Jinghao's master was from, and he was probably a passionate idiot who was obsessed with knight combat skills.
"Boss, I'm here to see you today! Not just to see you!" Xiao Hao turned around and fiddled with the fireplace, finally "taking out" his partner.
He brought a calm young man in neat clothes and clean school uniform to the boss, it was Daniel.
Compared to the fussy Brother Hao, Daniel has become a lot more autistic in the past six years. Just now he was hiding in the fireplace and did not dare to move. When he saw the proud and ruthless Mingde, his expression did not change much.
"Boss, I've been following this idiot all the time, just because I'm afraid he might offend you by contradicting you."
"Hahahahahaha!" Brother Hao didn't mind at all. He patted Daniel's back gently, leaving dark slap marks on the clean school uniform. "Don't worry! There's more! There's more!"
He turned around and grabbed Liu Xiaomin and Kaixi from the fireplace.
The two girls had grown up, and when Kaixi came to the king hunter, she began to explain in a panic.
"Ms. Cat Climbing Frame! We didn't do it on purpose! This guy wanted to dig a tunnel privately. Did he violate the school rules? We just followed him here."
Kaixi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally nothing could be heard.
"I just followed him here. I heard I can see you."
"Hey?!" Brother Hao looked surprised: "So the school doesn't allow people to dig tunnels?"
The boss said in a low voice with an expressionless face: "It seems that this kid has never read the school rules in the past six years."
It looked at Daniel again: "He doesn't read the school rules and you don't read them either, right?"
Daniel's face was cold and he replied seriously: "I am only responsible for criticizing him and never correcting him."
Boss: "It makes sense, you are not his father."
Daniel: "You're right, I can't be his father."
The king hunter saw a familiar person, who was a relative of the nameless housekeeper Hong Jie, so he ran to Xiao Min and patted all the soot off Xiao Min's body.
The boss and Brother Hao asked: "So, what is it that makes you spend so much time and money?"
"Twenty-five days!" Brother Hao looked super proud and danced: "I spent twenty-five days digging from the dormitory to get here! Just to see you!"
The "good boy" boss was surprised. Brother Hao's thinking seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Before it could finish speaking, this guy had already started to answer.
Shao Jinghao squatted in front of the boss and said enthusiastically.
"Boss! Do you think we can participate in the Luna Cup?! Although we will graduate next year! But we want to participate now!"
Daniel explained in a low voice on the side: "You want to go, only you want to go. Not all of us."
"But isn't the same when I am digging the tunnel!?" Brother Hao asked with a smile: "At the beginning, you all said, don't you do it, but then the body is very honest, all of which keep up! Especially the two girls 'houses' house
!”
Xiao Min whistled and looked at the scenery, while Kaixi hid in front of the mirror to touch up her makeup, neither of them answered the question directly.
Brother Hao chased after him fiercely and then asked: "You! And you! I live in the boys' dormitory! You two climbed over the wall and ran under my bed. You want to come with me to see the boss!"
Aohen Mingde covered her stomach and laughed, not knowing what to say——
——It likes children, likes these young people, and likes every moment full of vitality in them.
Daniel: "I am responsible for severely criticizing you before you get scolded. I share a dormitory with you and as the dormitory leader, this is my responsibility."
"Hahahahaha!" The boss finally couldn't stand it any longer: "These two guys are a perfect match."
"So! Boss! I want to ask you for help!" Shao Jinghao brought the topic back: "Can we go to the Luna Cup? Let's start from the area where the Nine Realms Station is located! Fight all the way up!"
Aohen Mingde thought for a while and shook his head.
“It’s best not to”
Shao Jinghao grabbed his hair in frustration: "Why?!"
Aohun Mingde’s kind advice.
"If you want to start from the first area, your opponent in the qualifiers will be a green-gold half-wolf, and there will be all kinds of monsters and ghosts - you will probably drown in the hell area where there are so many masters."
Daniel: "I don't even bother to explain this common sense mistake, Shao Jinghao, one point will be deducted."
Brother Hao then said: "Only strong opponents are worth defeating! We have to be strong when we encounter them! Shao Jinghao! Add one point!"
"Don't worry, kids, don't worry yet." Aohui Mingde raised his head and looked at these children. They have all grown up. The shortest one, Xiao Min, is 168 centimeters tall. He has to raise his head to do it.
Seeing the essence of these young people clearly: "You are still short of two people. The main competition team must have five players, and there must be a coach with a knight competition qualification certificate."
"Oh! That's right!" Brother Hao slapped his head and suddenly woke up: "Boss! I have a candidate! I have a candidate!"
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and talked about the details with Ao Mingde.
"This guy! This guy is not a student of Galahad, can he be our comrade in arms!?"
Aohen Mingde couldn't understand. He didn't recognize the people in the photos and had never seen them before.
But there is no threshold for the Best Luna Cup. All residents of the underground world, even ordinary people, can participate - because of the characteristics of Homo sapiens with high attack power and low health, ordinary people also have the opportunity to defeat Morpho.
Brother Hao shouted——
"——This guy plays games with me! He's my online friend! I think he's very good! Although he doesn't like to talk, I think all the masters are like this. They don't like to talk and just show off in silence."
"His name is Qi Ji! He is in District 41! I want to bring him here! Can it be done?"
Aohun Mingde: "Are you sure you want to choose someone you have never met before as your comrade in the Luna Cup?"
"He must be reliable!" Brother Hao pulled Daniel over and pointed at Daniel's chin: "Qi Ji won't criticize me! He will also guide me!"
There was another black mark on Daniel's delicate and delicate face, but he was not angry, and just continued to talk coldly: "I think it is feasible, because the opponents in the qualifiers in District 41 are weak, and I have done enough homework - very
It’s easy to get a regional representative and become the 41st district representative team.”
The boss then asked——
"——What about the coach? You have to find a reliable coach."
"Can Teacher Meteor do it?" Brother Hao asked.
The boss shook his head: "No, he doesn't have the qualifications. Although the exam is very simple, this guy has never thought about becoming a coach. Moreover, he is on his honeymoon and has no chance to guide you."
Brother Hao: "Where's the gunsmith teacher?"
Boss: "This kid has a lot of certificates. You can ask him, but don't expect him to be of much use. You must know that the coach is the person sitting under the ring and will not make you stronger."
Brother Hao immediately pulled Daniel and ran out the door.
"Let's go! Let's go! Thank you boss!"
Daniel asked Brother Hao to pull his collar and say goodbye to the boss.
"Don't worry! I will definitely continue to criticize him! I won't let him get into more trouble! Boss!"
Wait until these little guys skipped out of the dressing room——
——The king hunter asked curiously.
"Is it really appropriate to let them act like this?"
Aohun Mingde: "It's a good thing. Young people should go to distant places to explore. At their age, the anonymous warriors are already beating up the Skull and Bones Society. And ah."
"The Lunar Cup is not as simple as they think. The journey itself is a valuable treasure."
