Chapter 252 Preliminaries of the Ancient Magic Tower (one update today, 5000 words)
The location of the first round of preliminaries is the largest arena in the outer city. A total of more than 6,000 people signed up for the competition this time, which is far better than the previous ones.
Due to the large number of people, the first round of preliminaries could only be held in groups and in batches. Each registered participant was given a number. On the stand of the arena, a huge crystal screen appeared, showing the number range of the groups. , Chen Rui is No. 5200, in the last group.
The content of the first round of preliminaries is very simple, that is, three questions will be selected immediately. Within the specified time, the content taken by ōu will be related to the key items filled in in the registration. For example, the metal key is related to metals.
There is a lot of luck involved in this kind of competition. Some people just happen to chōu with difficult or difficult questions, and some people chōu with very time-consuming questions. . However, in general, people with real strength can still pass smoothly.
The competition has begun, and the numbers for elimination and promotion have begun to appear on the crystal screen. These problems are generally difficult, and even many senior contestants feel that this year's difficulty is more difficult than the previous one, which was ten years ago. much bigger. Many unlucky losers burst into tears, but they can only attract contempt and ridicule, and almost no one sympathizes. This is the competition.
Chen Rui filled in the metal essence, and he came to three questions. The first one was to complete the incomplete part of an earth-based enchanting magic circle, the second one was a question and answer about smelting metal, and the third one was to repair a broken 's long sword.
Except for the second one, the first one was more difficult and the third one was more time-consuming, but for Chen Rui, there was no pressure, and he completed all the projects with ease, and the judge beside him announced the promotion.
Dio, who had been uneasy in the stands, saw Chen Rui's promotion, and finally let go of his dangling heart. This dark moon craftsman finally has some real skills, but this is just the beginning, and the difficulty in the future will be difficult. It will only get bigger and bigger, can this guy who only got the title of Maker Master pass the next round of tests?
Ji Ya was also surprised. As far as she knew, the eldest princess did not have a particularly good maker. Where did this Arthur come from? She had a vague premonition in her heart that Arthur's strong self-confidence was by no means fake.
The first round of preliminaries took six days to complete. Nearly 70% of the contestants were eliminated in this round, and nearly 2,000 people remained.
In the past few days, Chen Rui has obtained a lot of materials through Dior, some of which are kept for personal use, and some of which have been converted into spiritual energy.
The second round of preliminaries has begun. From this round, even the candidates recommended by the master must participate.
The location of the second round of preliminaries is the ancient magic tower in the Maker Alliance Building. The ancient magic tower is one of the most mysterious places in the Maker Alliance of the Shadow Emperor Capital. It is said that the magic tower was built very early, and the year is unreliable. , there are precious magic engravings left by master-level and grandmaster-level craftsmen tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer, as well as various magic circles, which are unpredictable, even the current alliance's crafting masters, It's hard to see the mystery behind it.
Usually, the ancient magic tower is not open to the public. Only the masters of the Maker Alliance can enter it with restrictions. This time it was opened to the outside world, which immediately aroused the interest of all the contestants.
The content of the competition is very novel. The contestants enter the magic tower with special magic slate and magic stone. Within two hours, they will use the slate to transcribe a complete magic circle. In addition to the function, it can also reflect the latest integration situation in real time.
Those that have not come out within the specified time will be automatically sent out, and those who have not completed the magic circle will be directly out of the game.
Not only that, this round can only leave the last 200 players to enter the rematch stage. The higher the difficulty of the magic circle, the less time-consuming, the higher the score. 2,000 players will be eliminated 90%, and 2,000 players will only take two. One can imagine the cruelty of the competition among the top 100.
The 2,000 people were divided into 20 groups. By fate, Chen Rui and his old "friend" Saviche were both in the last group.
Saviche saw Chen Rui inadvertently, his eyes froze immediately, and the hatred gleamed out of his teeth. Because of his youth and potential, he has been famous since he became famous, and the humiliation he suffered last time was simply unprecedented.
He will never forget how he limped out of the lounge at that time, and how the pain tormented him in the days that followed. Although the wounds on his body healed, the huge shame and trauma in his heart could never be washed away.
If it weren't for the future of the maker competition, Savage really wanted to do everything possible to get revenge on the Custer family and the Arthur who deserved a thousand cuts.
Unexpectedly, in the Maker Contest, I met this hated enemy, this guy, even passed the first round of preliminaries
"Isn't this Saviche?" Chen Rui also saw this old "friend" with a grudge in his eyes, and greeted him with a familiar face, "The magic item you studied last time is really powerful, and I admire it even more. It's you who are willing to take such a big risk to try it yourself, you are indeed the first genius of the imperial capital"
When the craftsmen in the same group heard it, they all showed admiration. They were talented and diligent. No wonder they were famous in the imperial capital. This praise was heard in Savice's ears, but it was another unceremonious mockery, such as
It was as uncomfortable as being stabbed with the same needle, but in front of so many people, I couldn't reveal that kind of humiliation.
Saviche is just an ant, Chen Rui didn't take him to heart at all, but this kind of horn can barely become a step to be stepped on in the competition.
It was the turn of this group to start the competition. Saviche sullenly walked at the front of the team and entered the ancient magic tower.
Chen Rui originally thought that the ancient magic tower was a tower with layers of stairs, and the walls were engraved with magic patterns, but as soon as he entered, he realized that it was completely different from what he imagined. It was an independent space, floating and changing. The strange light, colorful. At first glance, it looks colorful, but in the eyes of the maker, these lines faintly reveal a mysterious and deep magic circle.
In addition to the exit light mén, in the distant space, there is a light mén that can reach the upper level. The higher the level, the more profound the magic circle and the greater the difficulty. The ancient magic tower has a total of six floors. It is said that even a master level can only understand the mystery of the first four floors.
There are many arrangements and combinations of magic circles. Everyone's mentality and focus of attention are different, and the magic circles obtained are also different. It is now recorded in the magic slate.
The opportunity to enter the ancient magic tower is rare. Chen Rui has already opened the in-depth analysis and started recording and scanning. In the in-depth analysis, those patterns of arrangement and combination are quickly "copied". Even if the analysis cannot be completed at present, it can be done in the future Parse slowly.
His eyesight has now reached the master level, and he can see more things than ordinary people. Many of the magic circles on this floor have been improved, but the difficulty is not great. Two star. Chen Rui didn't stay too long and walked towards the light mén leading to the upper floor.
Compared with the more than 100 people on the first floor, there were only a dozen people on the second floor, and Savicie was among them. Seeing Chen Rui walking to the second floor, he sneered disdainfully: Due to Master Leo, Saweiqie was among them. It is not the first time that Weiqie has come to the ancient magic tower. The magic circle on the second floor is much more difficult than the first floor. Although it can be recorded and completed, the points will be more, but if it cannot be completed, then it is not as good as the first floor. one layer up.
The difficulty of this layer is indeed greater, the amount of data is much larger, and the scanning speed of in-depth analysis is much slower.
"I don't understand why..." Chen Rui held the magic slate, hesitated for a moment, and deliberately said to himself, "I don't know if it will be better..."
Saviche sneered secretly, the above is a master level to understand, this "Arthur" is just a rookie who has just been promoted to the maker, relying on luck (at least Saviche thinks so) to pass the first round In the preliminaries, if you really go to the third floor, let alone an hour, even if it is a year, you will not be able to record a few.
As a competitor and enemy, Saviche certainly hopes that Chen Rui will go to the third floor to "send death". Just as he had hoped, Chen Rui walked towards the light on the third floor step by step, and soon disappeared. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Saviche's mouth. The array recorded it, then crushed the magician he was carrying, and teleported out of the ancient magic tower.
The third layer is not only light, but also various flames and visions, and even the space has strange distortions. In Chen Rui's eyes, those melodies and colors are strange magic symbols, all kinds of magic symbols. The different arrangements are like complex formulas. Some of them have been taught by Master Tata and Master Skye, and some are even unheard of. With Chen Rui's current state, he can naturally see the mystery of these "calculations". Immerse yourself in it for a while.
Outside the ancient magic tower, many people have completed the records and sent them out. Specialized reviewers began to record and verify the scores. The crystal screen in front of the Alliance Building marked the latest top 200 rankings.
The first place is impressively Saviche. It took 10 minutes to record the magic circle as a quasi-three-star magic-enhanced type, with 170 points.
The second place, Robert, took 15 minutes to record the Magic Array as a quasi-three-star basic enhanced type, with 165 points.
The third place, Southgate, took 16 minutes to record the Magic Array as a quasi-three-star basic enhanced type, with 164 points.
...
The current result of the 200th place is that in one hour, the recorded magic circle is a two-star magic weakening type, and the points are 80.
Chen Rui has reached the fourth floor at this time. Even Chen Rui finds things on the fourth floor difficult and difficult to understand, but he has in-depth analysis. comprehend.
After recording, Chen Rui looked at the timer on the Philosopher's Stone and saw that more than an hour had passed. Looking at the next layer of light in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and tried to walk over.
As soon as he approached the light mén, the space was suddenly distorted, and countless mysterious imprints flashed. A powerful force of repulsion pushed him out. Every time he tried, the arrangement of those imprints was different.
Chen Rui had a feeling that even if he tried his best to use the power of the Dharma Realm to display the Flame Dragon Possession, he would not be able to break through the power of this light mén. Light mén not only contains great power, but is more of a rule. If you can't ignore the rules, even the power of the Demon Emperor may not be able to break through.
In the business center on the fifth floor of the building, a middle-aged man with white hair and white hair frowned. He was the president of the Shadow Empire Makers Alliance, and the first maker of the empire, Master Anderson.
"There is another curious guy who is testing the big mén on the fifth floor. I don't know if it is a wise move to open the ancient magic tower this time."
Master Rummenigge on the side smiled and said: "Even we can't break the seal of that big mén, the president doesn't need to worry, in fact, this time is more about discovering and cultivating potential juniors, so that they can open their eyes, It's good to have more knowledge."
Master Anderson nodded slightly and said nothing.
After trying and recording the magic symbol a few times, seeing that there was not much time left, Chen Rui looked at the latest rankings, knowing what he knew, recorded a magic circle on the second floor, crushed the magic stone, and teleported it out. .
On the VIP seat set up outside the Alliance Building, seeing that the name of "Arthur" had not appeared within two hundred years, Dio's face, who had been watching the crystal screen, looked very ugly, and Ji Ya also seemed a little nervous.
At this time, a beautiful boy, holding a man's arm, came over, and gloated: "Isn't this our eldest brother Dio? It's the last time, why haven't you? See that Arthur you support in the rankings? Faramo, where are our supporters now?"
The man on the side is Dio's younger brother Faramo, and he sighed deliberately: "Robert seems to be in second place. Although he is currently behind Savice, this kind of points ranking will not be brought into the semi-finals. The real contest is still there. Behind."
"As far as I know, the latter competitions are Robert's strengths, and he was the champion of the previous session." His son-in-law is Faramo's wife, Marlene Asmode, and the younger sister of Warren, the second general of the Shadow Empire. This nv person is very strong, Faramo was eaten to death, and even a side room has not dared to accept it.
Dio was very annoyed, but he couldn't find the words to fight back.
"Look at the screen!" Jiya suddenly called out excitedly, Dio looked at it quickly, and suddenly became excited.
Arthur's name finally appeared within two hundred, and it took 1 hour and 25 minutes to record the Magic Array as a quasi-three-star basic enhancement. With 95 points, he is currently ranked 192.
Since it is the last group, there are not many people left in the magic tower. This ranking is basically stable, and it should be able to enter the next rematch stage.
Sawie looked at Arthur's name on the screen, and sneered fiercely: That's fine, just to continue stepping on top of this enemy's head in the next game, not only the game, but at the end of the game, "Ah" When Se” was smashed to pieces
Dio in the VIP seat let out a sigh of relief, and 192 people, no matter what, finally escaped death.
"Shouting, it's a rude country nv person." Marlene mocked Ji Ya dissatisfiedly, and then said to Dio with a look of disdain: "Forgot to tell you, the Horford supported by Celine's girl is all in line. In the top 50, although the final victory must belong to Faramo, but what surprised me is that the person you chose is even worse than Lin, no wonder you can't even keep the position of the first heir."
Dio snorted coldly and ignored the two. At this time, Chen Rui came to Dio, nodded to Jiya, and said with a smile: "It seems that luck is good, within two hundred, you can enter the next round steadily. ."
"I'll be eliminated immediately in the next round." Marlene chuckled, holding a fan, elegantly blocking the contemptuous smile.
"Dio, who is this pretentious ugly man?" Chen Rui asked deliberately after hearing Marlene's ridicule to Jiya.
Marlene's face changed, Dio heard it in his heart, and replied: "This is my younger brother Faramo, who I want to be superior... and his nv people."
In revenge for the irony just now, Dio deliberately did not mention Marian's name, and Chen Rui suddenly said: "I heard that your brother has several nv people outside, do you know which one it is?"
This time, it was Faramo who changed his face. Seeing Marlene's icy gaze, Faramo's expression became quite bright. In fact, Chen Rui was hitting right. Lian is too powerful and has a strong background, so she has been hiding it from this fierce wife.
Dio secretly gave Chen Rui a thumbs up, but Chen Rui is currently ranked in more than 190. I am afraid that the rematch stage will not be optimistic. He asked worriedly: "The next round is the rematch, and the final round will be decided. How sure are you that you will be the final candidate for the finals?"
Chen Rui shook his head, this guy is too impatient, how could he ask such a thing in front of his competitors?
"Big brother, second brother and sister Marlene are also here." A young boy came over. The boy was dressed in a short skirt. He looked beautiful and looked green. Judging from the title, it should be the youngest sister of Dio, Celine. .
Celine is the least "threat", and usually has a good relationship with her two brothers. Dio squeezed a smile and nodded, and Marlene relaxed her tense face.
"Is this the supporter you chose, Arthur?" Celine looked at Chen Rui curiously, "I actually made it to the top two hundred at the end. But this time, I had better luck and found a maker named Horford. , Although not famous, but it is amazing, this time I got the 47th place."
Dio nodded with a wry smile, Chen Rui looked relaxed, and said indifferently: "Actually, I'm just keeping my strength."
Dio sighed secretly, the ranking of this competition is there, it can only be regarded as a fluke at best, no matter how you look at this "retention of strength" seems reluctant.
"I hope your strength is as sharp as your mouth." Marlene pulled Faramo and dropped a sentence and walked away.
"Poor brother Faramo, you will definitely become a gas bag when you go back." Celine smiled cutely and sweetly, said hello to Dio, and turned to leave.
"The rematch will start tomorrow, let's go back to rest first.
By the way, you have to help me with more materials, the sooner the better, I need more insights. "Chen Rui's last sentence is purely a fake publicity sī, now is the time to be beaten and willing to suffer, if you don't kill it, you won't kill it.
