Seat 1307 was surprisingly close to the front. Li Huailin was a little puzzled when he saw the seat. If someone was late and wanted to change their seat, such a good spot should not be left at the front. Could it be that someone liked a quieter environment, so they moved to the back?
Indeed, this position was a little noisy. It was right in the middle of the participating teams. Of course, it was surrounded by people. At this moment, all the teams were arranging their tools and the like, so the "ding ding dang dang" sounds were a little annoying.
To be honest, Montaus preferred a quieter place, but he could only choose this one. After all, the middle-aged woman had already shown mercy and let them in, so he couldn't bring himself to ask for a change of location. Montos immediately put down his bag and started to organize his things.
Li Huailin looked around and realized that it was similar to what he expected. Currently, the participants that Li Huailin could see were basically NPCs. He did not see any players. After all, the lowest requirement here was to be a Master Craftsman, and there were probably only a few players who had reached the Master Craftsman level.
There was a higher chance that the followers would see players, just like Li Huailin. However, so far, Li Huailin had not seen him …
"What the f * ck?" Li Huailin was just about to say that he did not see any players, but he saw a guy without a name above his head when he turned around. Of course, NPCs had their names displayed, so those without names were obviously players. Li Huailin quickly looked over and realized that … it was actually a guy that he knew.
"Uh … Nero?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned because the person he saw was the captain of the European Alliance, Nero. The opposite party also saw Li Huailin looking at him, so he smiled, greeted him, and waved his hand.
"Uh?" Li Huailin did not expect Nero to be so calm. Could it be that he saw me? Looking at Nero's current situation, there was also an NPC standing next to him. The NPC looked quite young, and his name was Lutney. Based on his appearance, it was hard to tell whether he was a human or a Protoss. He was wearing a Blacksmith's uniform. It seemed like Nero was also a follower.
"It's Lu Tney," Montos suddenly said as he walked over.
"You know him?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, he's related to me," Montos said. Montos said, "You should say that he's my greatest rival. Among the God Servants, we often compete against each other. He's different from me. After all, I'm a descendant of the Fire God, while he came from the bottom. He seems to dislike me and always targets me. We don't have a good relationship. "
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. It was obvious that Montos came from a better family. Although something happened to his father, he still had a powerful father. He should have inherited most of his forging skills from his father. Lu Tney, on the other hand, should have been a commoner. Montos was a little unhappy with this lonely aristocrat.
"His follower seems to be an adventurer too," Montaus said after taking a look.
"Yes, and he's related to me," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Eh? Someone you know? How's your relationship? "Montos asked.
"Nothing much." Li Huailin spread his hands. "It seems like our enemies have suddenly come together, and they're so close to us."
"Indeed …" Montos nodded. "It's a bit of a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "I don't think it's a coincidence. If Nero isn't here, I might think it's a coincidence. But now that he's here, I think there must be something wrong. He always likes to do strange things …"
"Eh? But we're here because we're late. What's the other party's arrangement? "Montos asked.
Li Huailin looked at Fatien, who was standing there. He was the God's Servant who had asked them to come to position 1307. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think this inspector can be bribed?"
"Eh?" Montos was slightly stunned. Then, he suddenly exclaimed, "You're saying that there's a conspiracy here?"
"If she wanted you to come to this position, she might have planned to send you here with some other reason. She didn't expect us to be late, so she didn't have to use the reason she prepared and sent us here," Li Huailin said.
"This …" Montos scratched his head and suddenly laughed. "That's impossible. After all, this is a Smithing Competition organized by the Temple. Who would dare to do anything here?"
"Hey, hey … forget it. I'm too lazy to talk about it." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Are you ready?"
"Not yet." On Montaus' side, Van had also reacted, and he immediately continued with his preparations.
"Say, have you thought about what to forge?" Li Huailin walked over and asked.
"Erm …" Montos suddenly paused. "I haven't had the time to think about it."
"F * ck, you still haven't thought about what to forge?" Li Huailin was shocked.
"Uh … I have a lot of ideas, but I haven't decided on a theme yet. I feel like I'm lacking some inspiration …" Montos said. "I know how to forge vibranium now, but … the specifics …"
"Then why aren't you thinking about it?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"This …" Montos frowned and didn't know how to answer. It was obvious that Li Huailin didn't know how to forge either. He was really lacking that little bit of inspiration. Of course, if you asked him to make any armor now, he would be able to make it. However, Montos felt that this kind of armor was enough to deal with the qualifiers, but this was the finals. He had to make something that he was satisfied with in order to have a chance of winning.
"Anyway, let's get things ready first." There was really nothing one could do about inspiration. Sometimes, it would appear suddenly. When it couldn't be found, it would be useless. Montos could only prepare now. After all, he was already late, and the competition was about to start.
In terms of forging, Li Huailin really couldn't help much. He was only here to check on the situation just in case. Now, it was obvious that he had to pay attention to Nero's situation. While Montos was preparing the equipment, Li Huailin was also looking at Nero.
Nero didn't do anything special. He was still helping Lu Tney organize his things. However, he didn't come over to greet him, which made Li Huailin feel even more strange.
After a while, it was almost 10 o 'clock. Montos had only just finished organizing the things in his bag. After all, he was the only one doing it. Also, he had left in a hurry just now. His things were very messy, so he needed some time to organize them. Now, Montos was looking at the supplementary materials that Li Huailin and the rest had helped him collect. He hadn't seen those supplementary materials yet. Now that he saw them, he was slightly surprised.
"What a big Firestone." Montos picked up a yellow stone and said, "This … Oh right, maybe … No, no, no …"
"This is a Moonstone … Eh, this can be …" The material was very complicated, but it seemed to be able to help Montos find some inspiration. Li Huailin didn't disturb him. He let him organize his thoughts slowly. He could only rely on this guy in this aspect.
Just as Montos was sorting out his thoughts, a crisp sound of a bell rang out. Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Of course, Li Huailin looked in the direction of the sound. Then, he saw that the previous supervisor, Fatien, and a few other supervisors had already arrived at the high platform in the middle. As mentioned before, position 1307 was in the middle, so it was still very close to the high platform.
Looking at the time, it was almost 10 o 'clock. Li Huailin was probably going to announce the start of the competition.
As expected, Fatien, who was in the middle, cleared his throat and said to everyone, "The main purpose of this Forging Trial is to determine the successor of the God of Forging. Of course, he must be the most outstanding blacksmith. You are all blacksmiths who passed the preliminary round, so you can be said to be outstanding blacksmiths. However, we need the most outstanding blacksmiths, so only one of you can inherit the God's Position in the end.
"Now, let us invite the high-ranking governor of the Temple of Gods, the great Saint Lofrey, to be the supervisor of this trial. He will supervise the entire process." After saying that, Fatien pointed to the sky, and at the same time, a beam of light descended from the sky.
Li Huailin facepalmed. Yes, when he heard the name Saint Lofrey, Li Huailin roughly knew what was going on. As expected, a beam of light appeared in the sky, and in the middle, a person slowly floated down from the sky. He had all sorts of lighting effects and such. This wasn't the first time Li Huailin had seen such an entrance, alright? However, after thinking about it, it made sense. The previous supervisor of the Divine Trial was Saint Lofrey, so it wasn't strange for this guy to be in charge of this competition. It was just that this guy couldn't be so pretentious every time he appeared.
Of course, many blacksmiths who saw Saint Lofrey for the first time were still shocked by this scene. They all revealed very sincere expressions. Many blacksmiths who came from the lower realm probably saw a god for the first time, and a few of them directly knelt on the ground.
Saint Ilofrey floated to the top of the platform, looking down at everyone below with a solemn expression. After pausing for a while, Saint Lofrey raised his hand and said, "It's about time. You can begin."
"Dong." Another bell rang. Along with Saint Lofrey's words, the competition officially began.
