On that day, Yan Mo and his group didn't go anywhere, they took a good rest in the courtyard.
After eating and drinking enough, taking a bath and changing clothes, and having a good night's sleep, everyone looked much more energetic the next day than yesterday.
"My lord, we have come in, what should we do next?" Xing Liu asked on behalf of Si Yuan.
Yan Mo withdrew his teasing hand from Jiufeng, turned around and smiled, "First, I'm going to the city's bonesmiths' association to obtain a first-level bonesmith status. Second, sign up for the bonework competition."
To participate in the Bone Artifact Contest, one only needs to have the qualifications of an apprentice bone tool maker. Unfortunately, although he was favored by Master Ivan before, he has not had time to get the apprentice status domino, and now he can only get another domino.
"Mo Wu, why do you want to participate in the bone tool competition? Couldn't you just get the status of a great bone tool maker in that association?" Hou Shi had great confidence in Yan Mo, and felt that as long as Mo Wu wanted to do it, he would definitely be able to do it. He realized that, in his opinion, the big bone craftsman card is considered rare, but Mo Wu can definitely get it if he goes.
The others looked at the rear lion speechlessly.
Yan Mo understood Houshi's thoughts, and replied seriously: "Because participating in the bone tool competition is a shortcut to obtain the status of a great bone tool maker."
"Why is participating in the bone tool competition a shortcut?" Hou Shi scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
Yan Mo chuckled.
Lord Youshangyuan's request was to bring back a bone tooler who had been approved by the horned man, but it was definitely too late to start training at this time, so he had to go into battle in person.
Yan Mo is confident that if he goes to participate in the bone tooler certification, as long as there is no accident, he should be able to get the domino of a senior bone tooler.
But the problem lies in this no accident.
Even if he really has the ability of a high-level bone tooler or even a big bone tooler, due to political reasons, the horned man may not recognize his ability. It is normal for him to silence him.
So he definitely can't pass the exam all the way like this, so how can the horned people recognize his ability, and can't even kill him, at least not in the short term
After comprehensive consideration, the Bone Artifact Contest became a shortcut to pass the level.
Apparently Master Youyuan has also considered this issue, knowing that it is basically impossible for Wujiaoren to become a great bone tool maker through the normal path, so he wants to take advantage of this bone tool competition.
Yan Mo looked at the sunset. Xiyang thought it was a test for himself, and replied instead: "Because according to the normal way, the hornless person will reach the end of the low-level bone tooler. No matter how the horned people's high-level view, those horned bone craftsmen will not be willing. At that time, there will be no need for high-level actions, and only those horned people who can't see that the hornless people are smarter than them will be killed This hornless man."
"But who is Mo Wu? How could he be assassinated by those horned men?" Hou Shi and Xi Yang didn't deal with each other, obviously retorting for the sake of refuting.
Xi Yang said, "Mo Wu is very powerful, but our goal is to get certified by the Great Bonesmith, even if Mo Wu can go all the way to the horned people's high-level, let the previous big bone masters test his bone refining ability, But if they don’t admit it, we can’t achieve our goal. Therefore, if we want to achieve our goal, we must create a form that makes the horned person unable to repent and deny their account. Participating in the Bone Artifact Competition is currently the best way. "
The rear lion still wants to hum.
Xi Yang simply made it clear: "The Bone Artifact Competition is not strict with identity verification, as long as Mo Wu pretends to be the horned man's master to participate in the Bone Artifact Competition, he will probably be able to make it to the end, and if Mo Wu can make it to the end If he wins the first place, he will be exposed as the bone tool refiner, and his identity as a hornless man will attract great attention. At that time, Mo Wu will use words to force the bone tool makers Test his bone-refining level in front of everyone, and then get the title of Great Bone Toolmaker. Even if the horned people are unwilling, but with their self-esteem, they can't openly deny Mo Wu's bone-refining ability in front of the facts, and as long as Mo Wu can With the Horned Man's Great Bonesmith card, our goal has been achieved, and even if they want to persecute us, we can withdraw at any time."
When Xiyang said this, Houshi was convinced, but Xiyang added another sentence at the end: "Do you understand?"
The rear lion felt that his intelligence was being despised, and almost jumped up in anger.
Yan Mo didn't care how Houshi and Xiyang fought, he believed in Xiyang's ability, this man often "teases" Houshi like this, there must be his schemes involved.
Geda deliberately came here after breakfast. Yan Mo made an appointment with him yesterday and asked him to lead the way to the Bonners Association today.
Gerda also brought his eldest son, he was in charge of guiding Yan Mo and several boner associations, and his eldest son led others to familiarize themselves with the surrounding area.
"It's really not easy for your master to train two hornless bonesmiths. Your master is really kind to you." Gerda turned to look at the two bonesmiths enviously, and whispered to Yan Mo .
Yan Mo smiled.
Gerda asked again: "Do they want to certify as a fourth-level bone tooler?" Then he was excited, "If one of them can become a fourth-level bone tooler, it will be equivalent to entering the rank of intermediate bone tooler , I heard that there is no hornless person who can become an intermediate bone tooler."
"I don't know if it will work, but let them try anyway." This test is also a real test. Two third-level bone masters have been pondering in the abyss for many years, and they both feel that they should be able to go further. It is a better idea to have the status of a super bone tooler.
"The certification fee is not cheap, your master is really willing." Gerda didn't look down on this pedestrian, but Xing Liu didn't look like a wealthy nobleman, but more like what they called a country boy with a little wealth. .
"What is there?" Yuan Zhan suddenly pointed to a building with guards standing guard.
Gerda said "oh", "there is the city guard station. They are responsible for all security matters in the city. In the future, when you encounter soldiers in bone armor lined up, you'd better stay away. They are probably from the city guard station." , the people in the city defense office are most disgusted with the hornless people, thinking that we will dirty the roads in the city."
Gerda looked at Xiao Jiufeng, who was sitting on Yuan Zhan's shoulder, holding his head, and shook his head in disapproval, "Why did you bring such a small child out? Such a small child should stay at home, right? "
"What? I thought the public security in Xuanyu City was much better than that in our countryside." Yan Mo could hear what the other party meant.
Gerda said vaguely: "You will know in the future." What exactly happened, but he refused to say it now.
Yan Mo looked around at the passers-by, guessing that maybe Gerda was afraid that what he said would be heard by others
Geda didn't want to say it, and Yan Mo and others didn't force him.
Chatting with each other along the way, because the hornless people in the city are not allowed to use any mounts, it took everyone more than an hour to walk to the bonesmiths' association in the center of Xuanyu City.
I didn't take a close look at it yesterday, but today everyone deliberately slowed down and watched the scenery of Xuanyu City with the meaning of sightseeing.
"The horned man's city is well built." Yuan Zhan whispered close to Yan Mo.
"Yes, it's a very beautiful city." Yan Mo sighed sincerely.
"Not only is she beautiful, but her strength and defense are also very strong."
Should it be said that Xuanyu City is worthy of being one of the three son cities of Wangcheng? Bone refinement is brought into full play here.
The street lamps on the side of the road, the vehicles on the street, the flying bones flying in the sky, and the towering large forts on the city walls make this city look like a legendary magical city.
However, the order in the city, the sewers on both sides of the road, the wide main road that can parallel six carriages, the road is still divided into two-way roads for pedestrians and vehicles, and the bone trash cans that can actively pick up and swallow garbage on the roadside. It doesn't mean that the city's level of civilization is no less than that of modern times.
"Those trash cans are pretty good." Yan Mo looked greedy, and wanted to take one back and analyze it.
"Half of those city guards are not alive." What Yuan Zhan saw in his eyes was obviously different from that of Yan Mo. "There is still a lot of space underground in the city, and I suspect that there may be a large number of bone soldiers hidden in it, or powerful menaces." arms."
Yuan Zhan planned to find some time to take a good look.
Xing Liu and the two bonesmiths had been staring blankly for a long time, dazed all the way, and they came back to their senses when Gerda said that the bonesmiths' association had arrived, and when they saw the outline of the boneworkers' association, they became dumbfounded again.
Yan Mo also let out a cry of surprise.
Yuan Zhan and Xiao Jiufeng, who was sitting on his shoulders, looked up together, and Xiao Jiufeng's Danfeng eyes were wide open.
No one thought that the appearance of the Association of Skeletonists would be a bone bird frame covering an area larger than two football fields.
The bone bird is in the shape of spreading its wings, with its head raised high, and its height is no less than 200 meters by visual inspection. One leg, the leg bone is as thick as a giant column. There are actually three pairs of wing bones, spread out in three layers.
Gerda showed pride, "This is our Bonesmiths Association!"
"It's so big... a bone bird." Yan Mo looked sideways at Xiao Jiufeng, wanting to ask him if he recognized him.
Xiao Jiufeng looked at it for a while, and said with disgust: "What an ugly bird, it only has one foot and three pairs of wings."
"Are you jealous of his many wings?" Yuan Zhan ruthlessly exposed him.
Jiufeng was annoyed, and grabbed his hair and pulled it wildly.
"If you pull my hair again, I won't let you sit on my shoulder!" Yuan Zhan was not afraid of pain, but the naughty child still had to be taught a lesson.
Jiu Feng was satisfied with the mount, so he couldn't bear to get off it, so he stopped pulling after two more tugs. But he wasn't happy about being threatened, so he covered Yuan Zhan's eyes with his two little paws.
Yuan Zhan's eyes were covered, but he still walked steadily.
According to Gerda, the Bonesmiths Association is one of the symbols in Xuanyu City, and there are many people who come to visit it, especially when there are so many foreigners in the city.
Yan Mo and his party didn't pay much attention to these tourists until they were about to enter the Bonesmiths Association.
"Look, hornless bonesmith." Someone noticed them.
Those who want to enter the Bonesmiths Association have to queue up, and the bonesmiths who rushed over probably want to take this opportunity to show off in Wangcheng, and there are many more people queuing up than in the past.
Some of these people are purely incidental, some think that the name certified by Wangcheng is better, and some people have a general fluke mentality, that is, if they are lucky enough, maybe they will have the opportunity to be recognized by some high-level bone tools. If this is the case, their lives will be different immediately.
Although encountering this kind of lucky thing is as rare as being hit by a meteor, people are more motivated by holding on to hope.
Because people without horns can't sign up alone, they need someone with a horn to guarantee them, so Xing Liu took two bonesmiths and Yan Mo to line up. Yuan Zhan and Jiu Feng followed.
Gerda still needs to do business, so it is impossible to stay here to accompany them all the time. Besides, he cannot enter the Bonesmiths Association, and it is useless to stay. He left after talking about some points that need attention.
"Heh, there are actually two. Although there are only three levels, this is the highest level among the hornless bonesmiths, isn't it?" Another person commented superiorly.
"The White-horned clan just likes to mess around, and even one family has trained two hornless bonesmiths. Tsk, where did the country people come from? I really don't understand the rules!"
"It's three. Although the young one doesn't have a domino, he is obviously following in line."
Someone was surprised: "The three hornless people who want to be certified as bone toolers are all slaves of that white-horned boy? What does he mean? He has trained so many hornless bone toolers? Does his family know?"
"Forget it, the Baijiao clan is like this. But why didn't the Baijiao clan and his slaves go to Luolan City, but come to our Xuanyu City?"
"Maybe he has been to Lorraine City before, and this time he wants to visit other cities."
He didn't pay any special attention to the fact that the white-horned youth who had transformed into a six-shaped man led the slaves into Xuanyu City. People from different clans were always mixed in each city at this time, and the less the city was from his own clan, the more he wanted to see what happened.
There were also people who paid attention to Jiu Feng who was sitting on Yuan Zhan's shoulders, not sure if it was because of his cuteness or for other reasons.
Xing Liu, Fei Zhang and Stu who were bonesmiths were very disturbed, too many people were watching them.
A man with horns in the queue in front wanted to talk to Xing Liu, but Xing Liu's answer was incoherent, and he was in no mood to continue chatting with him.
Seeing that the people in front stopped talking to him, Xing Liu was greatly relieved. God knows, he might be the most nervous of all, for fear that someone would see his disguise.
Yan Mo was still there, chatting and laughing in low voices with Jiu Feng and Yuan Zhan.
The three hornless people who want to be certified bonesmiths are too eye-catching, because they are the only three hornless people in the whole team.
Yan Mo was also worried about encountering horned people who jumped in line or provoked, but it turned out that Xuanyu City's security was too good, or that no one wanted to lose face in public, and it was their turn after less than half an hour of queuing.
Yuan Zhan and Jiu Feng cannot enter without certification.
After entering, you can only see an entrance, which is quite spacious, with a table in the middle, and behind the table is a middle-aged man with horns.
Yan Mo saw that there were two doors on both sides of the entrance, and those who wanted to sign up would enter behind those two doors.
"Do you want to be certified as a bone tooler?" The middle-aged man at the reception asked Xing Liu who came in without raising his eyes.
"No, it's not me. I came as a guarantee for our family's bone maker." Xing Liu weaved words according to the situation Gerda introduced to them.
"Your family?" The middle-aged man raised his head and saw three hornless people lined up in front of him.
"These three hornless people belong to your family?" The middle-aged man was surprised and a little unhappy.
"Yes." Xing Liu nodded nervously.
"Do you know the regulations of our Xuanyu City Bonesmiths Association?"
"What rules?"
"I don't know which rural area you are from, but our Xuanyu City stipulates that a person with horns can only sponsor a person without horns to become a bone crafter, and he must be a noble with horns. Are you a noble? "The eyes of the middle-aged man are very disdainful.
Xing Liu swallowed his saliva and puffed out his chest: "Of course I am a nobleman!"
"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked up and down Xingliu with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Where do you come from? Who is your father? What kind of noble is your family? Where is your father or your fief? Why is there no domino with the identity of the noble?"
Xing Liu wanted to wipe off his sweat. He didn't expect the guarantee inquiry to be so strict, so he replied with a bit of a stutter: "I, I come from a town near Mingyue City. My father is..."
Seeing that Xing Liu was getting more and more nervous, Yan Mo opened his lips slightly and said softly, "May Xing Liu pass the test smoothly."
Xing Liuhangchi finished speaking: "My father's name is Xing. We are the last baron. Our fief is just outside Mingyue City. It was granted to us by the lord of Mingyue City a long, long time ago."
The middle-aged man tapped the table with a bone pen, "Then show your identity dominoes. Again, you can only guarantee one. You should first decide who you want to guarantee!"
"Okay, I'll think about it." Xing Liu took out a domino, his back was soaked. This domino was drawn from a man after they defeated the horned men who attacked them.
According to Fei Zhang, a low-level bonesmith who had lived with the bonesmith in the horned city for many years, this domino represented the identity of a baron's son.
Yan Mo suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, and immediately grabbed Xing Liu's hand, "Young master, have you forgotten the master's order?"
Xing Liu was unclear, so he turned his head to look at him.
The middle-aged horned man also looked at him.
Yan Mo pressed Xing Liu's hand with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out the domino that Bu Hua had presented to him, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said lightly: "This is our guarantee. If you have any questions, You can find the owner of this domino."
The middle-aged man didn't like Yan Mo's attitude. He felt that Yan Mo was too disrespectful to him. He didn't want to take the domino and wanted to drive him out, but when he was about to speak, his eyes swept over the domino. , This sweep was incredible, he thought he had misread it, so he grabbed the domino and watched it carefully.
Xing Liu hissed and put away his domino.
After the middle-aged man finished watching the dominoes, he looked at Yan Mo in doubt and surprise, and then at Xing Liu.
Yan Mo showed him a kind smile this time.
The unhappiness of the middle-aged man disappeared a little, "You wait."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man put the dominoes into a frog-like bone vessel on the table.
The bone frog opened its mouth wide, and the domino was put in its mouth.
A second later, a light and shadow appeared above the bone frog, and the light and shadow was a portrait. Not only that, it also spoke!
"The origin of the dominoes is from the Morton family of the Black Horn tribe. The original holder of the dominoes is the son of Bouhua Morton. The recipient of the dominoes is a young man without horns. The role of the dominoes is to protect the man without horns from others."
The face of the middle-aged man changed when he heard about the Morton family. As long as there are people with horns, who doesn't know that Morton is the most noble princely family of the contemporary Black Horn clan besides the current patriarch's family
Besides the eldest son of the Duke of Morton, there is no one who can be called the eldest son.
As we all know, the Duke of Morton is also the most powerful contender for the next generation of patriarchs, not one of them.
Looking at the image in the light and shadow displayed by the bone frog, although it is a bit blurry, it looks very similar to the hornless youth in front of him, except that the person in the image looks a little younger.
The middle-aged man was greatly shocked, and so was Yan Mo.
It turns out that this domino contains so much information, can it be read out with tools? You can still see the portrait of the recipient!
This is really an advanced and practical anti-theft and anti-loss technology.
At the same time, Xing Liu and the two bonesmiths were also wiping sweat in secret, and Xing Liu shouted that it was a fluke, if he took out the captured domino just now, wouldn't their identities be exposed immediately
This domino contains so much information, maybe it can still leave the original owner's last words and last scene. If that's the case, they're screwed!
so far so good!
In fact, there are six things to worry about. Dominoes are also classified into grades. Not all dominoes can record information such as pictures. Dominoes for nobles below the viscount can at most contain an identity information, such as indicating who the recipient is and who the gift is. function, and even the function of displaying images is absent.
But even if the domino in his hand can only show identity information, it is enough to expose them. At least the place names, people's names, and especially the race they said will be different from the information contained in the domino.
Yan Mo also shouted in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately he made a wish first, otherwise he would not feel wrong, and stopped Xing Liu in time.
