"Everyone!"

The host of the competition sent by the Luo family is a middle-aged man with a red face, Ye Li knows the other party, he is a figure of Luo Kui's uncle, named Luo Lishi.

Loris greeted the crowd and made a "quiet" gesture to signal the onlookers to calm down.

After the voice in the venue was quieter, he said to everyone with a smile on his face: "I think everyone knows that Qishan Town has been a place of concentration of casting shops since twenty years ago.

In the past 20 years, the competition between the casting shops in Qishan Town has been very fierce.

The shops that are not good enough and the prices are not affordable enough, in the past 20 years, they have almost been eliminated, and now there are only six time-honored shops left.

And our Luo family and Ye family in the Great Wilderness City are the two new competitors who have joined now.

Originally, we were supposed to wait for time to test each other's strength, but my Luo family has always liked to overcome obstacles and take the initiative, and we don't have the patience to slow down.

That's why we're holding this casting competition here today to challenge seven other new and old shops to prove our ......."

Hearing Luo Lishi's words on the stage, Ye Li couldn't help but snort coldly, and Ye Huaicang next to him also said angrily: "Damn the Luo family, when we sent us an invitation to the competition, we didn't say that we would challenge each other, but that we hoped that all families would communicate and go hand in hand."

Although everyone knows their purpose, there are some things that must be said politely, and when they say this now, it is clear that they do not take everyone into account at all. ”

Ye Li nodded and said, "Uncle Huaicang, they have already tied up the Panshan family in the casting business, so they naturally feel that their strength is far superior to that of other shops here.

After all, the other shops are all opened by small families in the three counties, as well as small chambers of commerce, and their background and strength are indeed far worse than the Panshan family, a four-grade casting family.

I guess their purpose is also to promote themselves through this casting competition, and they have not officially acknowledged their partnership with the Panshan family until now.

They must also plan to wait for the end of the competition and win the first place, and then take the opportunity to announce their cooperation with the Panshan family, so as to greatly increase the weight of their signboard. ”

Ye Huaicang also nodded in agreement, and then showed a mocking face, although the Luo family's wishful thinking played well, but after all, he didn't expect Ye Li to become Ou Qianxi's disciple, and his Ye family's cooperation object was compared with the Panshan family, like the difference between adults and babies.

After speaking a lot on stage, Loris began to introduce: "Now we have the representatives of the casters from the eight shops participating in the competition.

First of all, the representatives of the casters from the Treasure Refining Pavilion opened by the Huangji Chamber of Commerce in Night Rain City, their position is the number one ......"

Eight areas have already been fenced off on the platform, and there are number plates hanging next to them, and the names of the shops to which they belong are written.

After all, none of the contestants are newcomers, so they don't care too much about the surrounding environment, even if they are in the square and there are onlookers around, they will not fail to cast.

On the stage, Luo Lishi first arranged the positions of the six old shops, and finally it was the turn of the Ye family and themselves.

"Next to the stage are the representatives of the casters of the Ye Family's Forging Golden Pavilion in the Great Wilderness City, and their position is No. 7. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Li saw Niu Qianjin walking calmly to the fence in the No. 7 area.

After Niu Qianjin stood still, he glanced at Ye Li and smiled at him.

Immediately after, it was the turn of the Luo family's caster.

Luo Lishi's face suddenly changed to a respectful look, and said: "The next person to come on the field is the representative of the caster of my Luo family's Baolai Xuan, Panshan Qingsong, and his position is in the eighth. ”

After finishing speaking, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a long face walked up with a smile on his face.

He also looked confident, as if he didn't take this competition seriously at all.

Although his position was number eight, it was not in the far corner, but in the center near the platform.

The stage pattern deliberately built by the Luo family, from the first to the seventh, all surround the stage, but the eighth position is in the center of this circle, as if there is a kind of stars and moons.

This arrangement naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the casters of the old shops, and their faces showed more or less indignant expressions.

However, when they heard the name of Panshan Qingsong, there were doubts in their eyes, obviously they all knew about the Panshan family, but they were not sure if the person in front of them was from the Panshan family thousands of miles away.

After all the casters had entered their area, Loris said, "I will announce the rules of this competition, and in order to ensure the true fairness of the casters, all the participants will use the furnaces and materials we have prepared.

The materials we prepared for this competition are all Xuan-level, and there is a time limit, and all casters must forge their runes within three hours. ”

Hearing his words, the faces of the people present did not change much, ordinary people did not understand how much time it took for casters to cast rune treasures, and the casters who participated in the competition were all proficient, and it was not impossible for them to complete the casting of a Xuan-level rune treasure in three hours.

However, Ye Li knew that this time arrangement was very ingenious, and this kind of long time would bring some problems to the contestants.

Contestants will hesitate to focus on the quality of the runes, or choose a more secure way to ensure that the runes are minted within the time frame.

The contestants also seemed to gradually start to think about this question, and some of their expressions changed slightly and hesitated.

Three hours seemed to be just the right step, and the weaker the person, the more obvious the hesitation on his face, because they didn't dare to guarantee that they would be able to perform at their best level in time.

On the other hand, Niu Qianjin and Panshan Qingsong, as well as the two old men, looked completely indifferent.

After explaining the rules, Loris said: "In order to ensure the fairness of the results of the competition, we have specially invited three judges.

They are the predecessors of Yuan Bugui who returned to the villa, the predecessors of Wang Yuezhi of the Wang family of Pinghu City, and the predecessors of Dashu Mountain Jin Tianyajin.

The three seniors are all old-timers who are proficient in casting, and they are also highly respected and famous in our three counties.

They don't run a casting shop, and they have no interests with the shops present, so it should be a perfect judge for this competition. ”

As he spoke, Luo Lishi nodded to the audience, and the three old men slowly walked up from the side.
