Chapter 551

Lina had listened with interest, but now she looked weird.

"It's dead? Is the crystal core its origin?"

Two blushes appeared on Elise's cheeks and she stretched out her paws.

"After awakening, in addition to having light magic, I also feel much stronger. Now I can throw my sister ten meters away casually."

The corners of Eve's eyes twitched, and she always felt that her seemingly innocent sister seemed to have something to point out.

Lina's head was full of question marks, she wanted to speak but stopped, and she stopped talking but wanted to.

It was rare for Rin to see Lina's cute look, and she thought it was cute, so she couldn't help but put her hand on her head.

Several pairs of eyes immediately focused on his hands.

Ke Lin's face has been strengthened to an epic level in the current version. She is not ashamed at all, and even rubbed it affectionately.

"I know what you are wondering. It was the same when I saw it making no sound and completely turning into stone." Rin said, "How could a World of Warcraft put its original crystal core outside?"

Lina nodded: "It's like hanging your heart outside your body. It's so weird."

To give another example, it's like someone has his life kunzi wrapped around his waist and is still wandering around.

"Haha, it is an unknown monster after all. Who knows, maybe it will give my heart a breather."

Eve clasped her hands together and sighed: "Anyway, this is a close call. Congratulations on becoming a magician. You will definitely come first in this challenge."

"The top priority is to seize the time to rescue. Now that my vision is not restricted by darkness and I am well rested, I can help with the search."

Because she knew that these were all false, Elise was not anxious or nervous, but she was instinctively unwilling to give up these illusions.

In reality, she must not have left the cave yet and is working hard to heal and save other injured people.

Chapter 77 Referee, they are cheating!

Eve and Betty originally thought that out of more than 3,000 challengers, it would be good to have 1,000 people left in the end.

But the situation was much better than they imagined.

The rescue operation lasted for more than 20 days, and it was not over until no one could be found.

The final count showed that more than 870 people died, 321 people were seriously injured, including disabled people, 1,200 people were more or less injured, and hundreds of people abandoned the game.

Overall, more than 870 people were lost, and the impact was not too bad.

This was also thanks to Rin and the others who attracted all the stone monsters and stayed with them for four days.

They either hide or use other monsters to delay, giving other challengers ample opportunity to escape.

More than 50% of the more than 800 people died in the earthquake, and those who lost contact were also counted as dead.

By the way, it is naturally impossible for Elise to spend four days awakening.

The main reason is that you need to focus on sensing the magic ring when awakening, and it is too late to escape.

Only when it was hidden and not found for the time being, the construction was completed intermittently.

Except for those who abandoned the game early, the other teams more or less received compensation.

Then they will be ranked according to the spoils statistics, and the top 100 teams will advance to the next round smoothly.

Among them, Rin's team topped the list with more points than the next 99 teams combined.

Some people think that they are too lucky and have destroyed the balance, but most of them are convinced.

The three of them are discussed in private, just like the children of fate.

If Rin knew this comment, he would doubt his identity as a villain again.

Soon, Betty announced the second round of the challenge.

This time the little girl came forward to announce it in person, not just because she suddenly wanted to express her sincerity, but also because she personally thought this task was the most interesting.

The challengers felt extremely complicated when they saw that the Duke who had given them problems was still such a young child.

There is a feeling of fighting to the death in the arena, only for the amusement of noble gentlemen.

When Betty finished talking about the challenge, the feeling became even stronger.

Because this round of competition is actually a "hide and seek" with a larger venue.

The rules are as follows:

One hundred teams draw lots, and ten of them will draw red lots and become "ghosts" while the rest start to hide.

In the entire Huadu, except for important places such as the Duke's Palace, the military barracks, and the administrative residence, all other places are hiding places, but they cannot leave the city.

Each hide-and-seek person will carry a special stone on his body, which is usually used as a beacon. The signal can be received with special instruments and cannot be blocked.

Moreover, if other materials are added to the signal stone, the display on the instrument will be different, so the organizer has already programmed the serial number in advance.

Every hour during the day, the "ghost" will use the instrument to start searching. It cannot be used from 10pm to 6pm the next day.

Moreover, each "ghost" team can mobilize a team of guards (12 people) to assist in the arrest.

As long as one person in the team is caught, the entire team will become "ghosts" and change their identities with the original "ghosts".

The "ghost" team that cannot catch one person within 24 hours will be eliminated.

In the end, only ten teams will be left to advance to the finals.

In addition, the hide-and-seek team cannot damage or break away from the signal stone. Once discovered, it will be considered as abandoning the game.

During this period, someone will keep observing and supervise whether both parties are in compliance.

There is no restriction on both parties using various methods, including asking acquaintances for help, but all officials in charge of the competition are not allowed to contact them.

It was highlighted that Eve would not protect her sister and brother-in-law, and would resolutely maintain the fairness and justice of the referee.

After hearing this emphasis, the contestants felt balanced, and the secret passage was still fair.

It wasn't until the lottery was drawn and the game officially started that everyone eagerly saw Elise flying up with a teammate in one hand, and then they all fell into disgrace.

"Fuck! This is so unfair! The referee should at least ban her from flying!"

"That's right. If they keep flying into the sky, how can we catch them!"

Betty was very impatient in her heart, but she still maintained a quiet look on the outside.

"This is someone else's talent. According to what you said, I can prohibit wealthy businessmen from using gold coins to buy information, and I can also prohibit nobles from using guards to resist arrest."

Speaking of this, Betty emphasized her tone.

"People who are incompetent will always ask to lower the standards of others and drag others along the same line, euphemistically called equality and fairness."

Glancing at Eve who was watching the excitement, she added another sentence.

"Think about it with your brains. If you can't reach it, don't you know how to use bows and arrows, magic, cannons and firecrackers?"

The corners of Eve's mouth twitched, and it was difficult to hold back.

Is this damn girl trying to kill my baby sister and dear brother-in-law? !

She stood up and pointed toward the distance with a majestic look on her face.

"What are you doing standing still? Will time stop if you stay here? How far can you run in one hour?"

Everyone who was scolded hurriedly fled in all directions, while the ghosts asked for an hour before they could set off.

…

At this time, Elise landed on the highest point of Huadu City, above the memorial statue of the first Duke.

It is fifty-eight meters high and offers a complete panoramic view.

Rin stretched out and looked at the entire Huadu City.

Emilia swung her tail and curiously studied the stone hanging on her waist.

"What to do next?" she asked softly.

Elise was so confident that she even learned to answer questions quickly.

"It's definitely no problem as long as I'm here. If someone finds you, all you have to do is fly high!"

"That would be too tiring, and what if someone uses a long-range weapon? You can't fly very fast with me and Emilia."

"Then what should we do? Xiao Lin must have a way, right?"

"Of course, there are easy ways."

Rin touched his chin and played with the stone in his hand.

"The rules only say that it cannot be detached or damaged, but they do not say that other means cannot be used."

The silly roe deer was confused after hearing this, blinking his big eyes with a look of cuteness on his face.

"so what?"

Rin grabbed her stupid hair.

"You little idiot, use your head more."

"o(>﹏<)oXiao Lin, stop picking on other people's stupid hair, you will become more and more stupid!"

"I'm stupid to begin with, but all the nutrients for my brain have gone to the front."

Emilia patted her big, elastic bear and looked at it DuangDuang with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Damn it, I heard that this roe deer is just a C in reality, but he has grown a lot bigger when he comes here!

Elise, who was "bullied" by the two of them, screamed and hid in Rin's arms to act coquettishly.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble now. We have to find someone now. You will know what to do soon."

After saying that, Rin took out a notebook with an address written on it.

This is the address of the alchemist that Lina asked for before the game. She originally planned to make a magic book for herself to increase her magic power, but unexpectedly the mission came in handy.

Chapter 78: Chip Witch, do you really dare to speak?

The alchemist lives in a secluded back alley in a civilian area.

When Elise fell, there was no one around.

Rin opened his pocket watch and looked at the time. There were still forty minutes left in one hour, so there was still plenty of time.

When they arrived at No. 24, the door was open. To show courtesy, Rin knocked on the door.

After walking in, an indescribable complex smell hit my nostrils, including fragrance, medicine, rot and engine oil.

There were bottles and cans piled up in the outer hall, as well as a row of simple window display cabinets, and there was a door inside that was separated by a curtain.

"Is anyone here?"

Elise shouted inside.

A lazy voice came from inside.

"Coming, coming."

While talking, a red-haired woman opened the curtain and walked out.

She wore a pure black cheongsam embroidered with bamboo leaves and black high heels. The strangest thing was that she wore a half-length cloak outside the cheongsam, which was neither fish nor fowl.

She is very beautiful, but her age is uncertain, maybe twenty or thirty.

When she saw Rin and the others, she clicked her tongue, and her beautiful face showed a bit of impatience.

"What are you three brats? Tell me, who told you my address."

Rin felt that this woman was somewhat familiar, and after a moment's thought, she made the right choice.

This reality is his teacher, Star Weaver Witch Angela.

Lina only wrote the address but not her name. Rin really didn't expect it to be her.

"Angela?"

When the other party heard his address, he was obviously surprised, and his carelessness turned into scrutiny.

"You actually know my nickname? It's interesting, so who gave you the address?"

"Scribe Lina."
