The gatekeeper looked a little bored at the dwarf not far away.

The latter, dressed in a short emerald yellow shirt and holding his fute, plucked the strings from time to time, and wore a bright brass ring on his long beard to reflect the firelight, sang two verses, and took a sip of ale, leaving a light froth on his golden beard.

A few little goblins sat on the silver queen's leaves, dangling their white little feet, curiously listening to the old dwarf tell ancient stories. These little ones are uninvited guests of the inn, curious and lively, and not afraid of people at all.

"Heroes with swords, standing in the flames of the sky."

"In the sky-high firelight, cut off a horn of the evil dragon."

"The dragon's wail, the sword's cold light—"

"The sword is called ......"

"Galapeia!" The goblins sang in unison, and then laughed and laughed, attracting frequent sideways glances from others.

The old dwarf took another sip of wine.

Continue to play and sing:

"O hero with a sword, he has fought off the terrible dragon."

"On that terrible dragon, there are cold scars."

"Time flies, time is no more—"

"Hero's name......"

"It's Huyod," the goblins said in a rambling voice, and asked curiously, "what about then?" ”

The dwarf laughed and told the little things that mortals would eventually grow old and turn to dust.

But the goblins don't understand such transience.

The gatekeeper shook his head, the old songs calloused to his ears, and he vaguely remembered his childhood, with its green trees and a ruined windmill on the nearby farm.

At that time, the teenagers were chasing the same dream.

But now, all that remains is the old man and drowsy. Suddenly, a dark blue robe caught his eye, and the gatekeeper suddenly came to his senses, and looked up to see a young man standing in front of him kindly: "Can you help me open the door?" ”

The gatekeeper felt that he must have seen the young man somewhere, but he did not dare to look more, and hurriedly lowered his head and opened the door for the other party.

It was a heavy, copper-clad wooden door.

The young man smiled and nodded at him, and the gatekeeper saw the badge of the Elpahim Artisan Association on his chest. "Good evening, and I hope you have a nice evening—" the former said.

"Is this really a strange greeting, the Assyrians?" The gatekeeper thought.

But he replied, "May Ori bless you." ”

The young man nodded again and walked out of the gate, and the gatekeeper remembered something.

"Isn't that a player from the Elpahim Artisan Guild, how did he go, isn't there a lower bracket match?"

He subconsciously looked back, the young man had already stepped into the darkness, the corridor behind the door was dark, and a small object was shining at the end.

"Dropped something?" The gatekeeper was stunned, opened the door and walked over.

On the ground was a peculiar brooch. The shield is carved with half a fire-breathing dragon's head, and the convex surface is plated with a layer of silver, and the workmanship is quite exquisite. Greed took over the gatekeeper's mind—it should be worth a lot," he thought, and as soon as he bent down, his fingers touching the surface of the shield, a cloud of black smoke rose from the brooch.

The ground shook slightly.

Not far away, the dwarven poet was still telling his old tales.

There was a commotion in the hall, the other final of the qualifiers had not yet begun, and the Blood Night Demon Moon was waiting for her opponent in the vacant arena, but the gnwarfs searched the whole field and failed to find the number six player.

Although most of the people on the sidelines were still talking about the previous game and relishing Fang's amazing performance, the anxiety spread uncontrollably as time went on.

People are clamoring for the next game to start as soon as possible. In the end, the referees had to announce that the number six player had abstained, which drew boos.

Only the Blood Night Demon Moon had some unexpected surprises.

She probably realized that she might not be the match for the silver-haired boy—

This result also surprised Fang Yuan, he couldn't help but think of those beautiful and indifferent eyes, but what made him remember even more was the faint fragrance of dragon's blood wood lingering on the tip of his nose, which always lingered in his mind.

He couldn't help but think of another figure.

The long silver hair is like the flower under the moon, which is deeply engraved in the heart of the young man for a long time.

There was no award ceremony in the qualifiers, and the competition party directly sent the prize money. Fang Yu excitedly handed over the money to Attila, who looked at him and did not refuse, only letting Tianlan accept the money.

Sky Blue was still basking in the little excitement of making fifty thousand miles, her eyes were full of little stars, and she patted her money bag and made a noise—as if such a large sum of money was really there.

"Oh my God," Azure said exaggeratedly, "we didn't have that much money for the last time we found that treasure chest in the Temple of the Sleeper, Brother Ed, you're amazing—"

"I found the box." The Paparal sat down in a chair with his legs straight, sucking on the juice left on his chubby fingers and protesting loudly: "If it weren't for the fact that you're up to 44, you wouldn't have noticed something underneath the water." ”

"But I went into the water to catch it." Tianlan wrinkled her little nose: "That water stinks to death, I wish you hadn't found that box." ”

"You didn't go down alone."

"Luo Yu won't take credit from me, of course I'm alone." Azure replied as a matter of course.

The Paparals were dumbfounded by this logic.

Finally Attila gently ended the argument: "Ed is indeed very powerful. ”

Fang Yu was very embarrassed to be praised, but with the vanity peculiar to a young man, he replied shyly: "It's, in fact, it's nothing. "If Scapet is here, he will surely tear down his little tail, which is almost up to the sky.

However, the elf girl just smiled slightly, and Sky Blue was even more convinced.

Hu Di was a little envious of the good relationship between these people, many adventure teams were actually full of deceit, and only the kind of people who were truly like-minded would stay together to form a fixed adventure group.

And he faintly saw the prototype of that kind of adventure group in these people.

"Hudi," Fang Yu turned around and asked him, "Are you taking risks alone, why does that dead fat man call you that?" ”

"Ah," Hu Di pushed his glasses, looking a little cramped: "It's not really, in fact, I have a cat, and I will definitely introduce it to you if I have the chance." ”

"A cat?" Fang Yu was shocked, cats are also teammates?

Hu Di nodded earnestly: "Of course, I live with it in Elpahin, and there is an inn there near the shallow waterport, do you know?" I rented a room there for him, and everyone knew him, and he was called Miss Spoon respectfully—for he was a very spirited and respectable cat, and I would occasionally go back to Elpahim to visit him when I had some free time. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this answer.

Sky Blue looked quite surprised: "Wow, that sounds great!" Do we also have a chance to visit Miss Spoon? ”

"Of course," replied Hudi, "if you return to Elpahin, you may come to me in the shallow waterport, and I think Miss Spoon will welcome you as a guest." ”

"We'll definitely go," Sky Blue said with an excited expression, "Actually, I've always wanted to have a cat, but before that I decided to visit Miss Spoon first." ”

Kita on the side was also very interested, nodded her head, and asked weakly, "Why don't you take Miss Spoon on an adventure with you?" ”

"Ah, what is this......" Hu Di thought for a moment, "I used to take it on adventures, we used to go to the bay and valley west of Elpahim, you know there are places where only it can go up, Miss Spoon is very clever and knows how to open the mechanism, and it was my best friend at that time." ”

"And then?" Azure asked.

"Well, as Miss Spoon got to like a more relaxed life, and as she got older, I stopped running around with her. You know that older people always like to stay in their own warm nests, and it is better for them to read a book and bask in the sun than to take risks. ”

"That's true." The little French girl was stunned.

Everyone was chattering, but Fang Yu saw the dwarf referee with the sharp beard walking over from the crowd. The other party came to them, rubbed his hands very embarrassed, and said, "Ah, sorry, something went wrong." ”

"Something went wrong?"

Fang Yu was startled, and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that something went wrong with the bonus?" ”

The question was so stupid that Attila couldn't help but cough lightly.

"That's not going to happen," the gnome referee shook his head, "you can rest assured that the Kalin Business Alliance will never have any problems with the amount of money." ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's about the game," the gnome referee replied with a sad face, "We haven't found the contestant sent by the Elpahim Artisans for the time being, so the final may have to be postponed for a while." ”

"Can't find a player again?" Hu Di was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself what was going on tonight, there were problems one after another, which was not the case in the previous games.

The dwarf referee couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, but God knows why there were so many situations today.

"Then you don't have to inform us first," Fang Yu replied, "Because I don't plan to continue to participate in the main competition, Mr. Referee, I definitely won't mind." ”

"What?" The dwarf referee was taken aback and said, "Are you going to retire too, Mr. Char?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, he was also going for the prize money of the qualifiers, and only the first place in the main competition could get the reward of the Golden Flame Ring, although he was also interested in the Golden Flame Ring, but he was still self-aware.

He heard that the two players who entered the lower bracket in the main match were above level 10, and one of them was even a level 14 combat craftsman of the Elpahin Craftsman Association, so it was better not to think too much about a third-level player like him.

No matter how outstanding and excellent the level of flexible manipulation and construction is, it can't make up for the level gap between the seventh and eighth levels, not to mention the players who can enter this stage of the Dao official competition, where will their own level be worse?

He explained the situation, and then said: "And you can see my situation, Mr. Referee, how can my Pacer, who is not even a Type I, be the opponent of those people?" ”

The dwarf referee was also a little distressed when he heard this.

He was the one who presided over the match between Fang Yu and the Immortal Worm, and of course he knew what Fang Yuan's equipment was, and in his opinion, this young man's understanding of flexible construction was more than enough to compete with those players in the official tournament - but the other party did have a point.

The young man's equipment was so poor, and his own rank was excessively low—unknown to others, but as the organizer of the tournament that shared information with the military, he knew exactly what the other would-be was really graded with.

He couldn't help but scratch his sharp beard and sighed: "There have already been two players who have abandoned the tournament, including one seeded player in the main event. If you give up the game again, it will be difficult to hold the game today. ”

Fang Yu understood his distress very well, but there was nothing he could do.

He was just about to open his mouth to comfort the other party, when a somewhat abrupt voice suddenly interjected:

"Yo, isn't this the previous group of blind people?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, turned around, and just saw two 'old acquaintances' walking from the direction of the main competition arena - the other party was the young man and Wu Di who had hit Ji Ta earlier. And the former greeted them with a grin:

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

Tianlan was already extremely dissatisfied with these two guys, and when she heard this, she was almost half angry, and slapped the table and said loudly: "Who do you say is blind?" ”

She slapped the soup pot on the side, and the mashed potatoes in it suddenly confused the face of the Paparal crossbowman, and the latter, who was patting his stomach on the chair, did not expect this blow at all, and planted an upside-down onion from the chair with the basin.

The young man looked taken for granted: "Hey, what is it that you don't walk long and your eyes are not blind?" ”

"You said who doesn't have long eyes when he walks, it's obviously -"

"Of course it's you, do you understand the truth that a good dog shouldn't tell me?" The young man interrupted her playfully: "Oh my God, take a kingfisher α be like a baby, a group of turtles, remember the next time you want to sigh about some 'rare treasure', don't get in the way of the middle of the road." ”

He deliberately said the words rare treasure very seriously, which almost made Tianlan explode his lungs, and he couldn't wait to rush up and fight these two bastards on the spot. But Atila grabbed her and said lightly to the other party: "Both, there is no point in making these senseless arguments, let's talk in the way of adventurers-"

The young man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "You want to duel with me?" ”

He looked Etilla up and down, and shook his head: "Madam, your battle equipment is a Hailin spear, I think you are only seven or eight levels of the appearance of it is impossible for me to be my opponent, forget it, I don't bully women, please go back." ”

Attila was about to say something, but a voice came from behind her.

"I'll fight you."

The young man was slightly stunned, he just wanted to say who are you, and what qualifications do you have to fight me? But when he looked up, all he saw was two silver rays rushing across his face.

"!"

He was in a cold sweat, and quickly rolled back, his heart full of incredulity. Is this still a traveler's rest? Why are there still two stunned people here who don't agree with each other and do it?

Is the other party too floating, or is Mazak unable to hold the knife?

Thinking about it, he rolled along the table in such a way that the dishes fell to the ground with a thud, and even knocked down the candlestick before he could dodge the blow of the 'sword plover'.

But the boy was not happy at all.

He was covered in grease and soup, and there were a few vegetable leaves hanging on his head, and he almost went crazy: "You, you actually sneak attack here?!" ”

He has always been unreasonable in this Rainbow Bay area, and he never dreamed that there would be an even more impulsive brain-type player than himself. Angry, he immediately put on the control gloves and prepared to counterattack, the magic buoy moved in the direction of Fang Yuan, and a huge Type III walker behind him had already 'banged' a table and rushed between him and Fang Yuan.

However, he didn't have the next move, because the dwarven guards not far away had already reacted and pounced on the two of them.

"Let go of me!" The boy screamed in anger. "He was the one who attacked first!"

And the dwarf referee finally ran out at this time, shouting: "Stop, stop, no attacking players and attacking each other outside the field!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yu and the young man stopped at the same time.

"What, he's a contestant?" The two asked the question almost in unison.

The gnome referee looked at the two of them and nodded a little helplessly.

"Good, you're dead!" The boy immediately said loudly.

And Fang Yu didn't say a word, and immediately said to the dwarf referee: "Mr. Referee, I take back my words, I want to continue to participate in this competition!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

Only Ji Ta seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, holding her forehead like a little adult.
