The throne was in the center of the VIP table, and when the figure of Empress Catherine appeared on the throne, everyone stood up and bowed to her, which was a spontaneous salute.
At that time, Catherine put down the chaos of the kings with her extraordinary wisdom, courage and skills, and turned the empire from the tide. With painstaking efforts, the Shadow Empire, which was struggling to survive in the cracks, became the second largest empire after the Blood Fiend Empire. , to bring the people back to peace and tranquility from the chaos of war. Whether it is the royal family or the common people, they all awe and respect this ruler from the bottom of their hearts.
Catherine was wearing a robe, a crown on her head, and a veil on her face. She was sitting on the throne. She couldn't see her face clearly, or she could faintly see the number one beauty from the faintly visible perfect figure and hazy and mysterious noble temperament. The peerless style.
More than ten meters around the throne were well-equipped imperial guards, but even without these guards, with Catherine's devil emperor-level strength second only to the strongest in the devil world, Emperor Lei Chan, no youngster would dare to offend her.
The judges of the competition are a group of master craftsmen headed by the number one master craftsman in the empire and the president of the Craftsman Union, Master Anderson. In the center of the arena is the stage for the ten craftsmen who have entered the final stage today.
There are three kinds of workbenches required for mastery around each craftsman. Generally, craftsmen bring their own tools, or they can choose tools provided by the alliance.
The rules of the final are very simple, there is no limit to the material, and there is no limit to the proficiency. Within the specified time, whoever makes the equipment with the highest score will be the champion!
There were originally two favorites in this final, the previous champion Robert and the imperial genius Savage, but Savich fell unexpectedly in the rematch, and the rise of the two dark horses "Arthur" and Horford overwhelmed Robert's limelight. down.
However, it does not rule out the possibility of the players hiding their strength. Now is the final, and everything is possible.
After the craftsmen took their positions, the finals began with the ringing of the countdown magic clock.
Almost everyone moved, including Robert, only two people did not move.
Chen Rui and Horford.
The two didn't talk trash or look at each other sympathetically. After all, this is the arena of making weapons.
Taking a deep breath and closing their eyes, the two of them quickly calmed down in different ways, and then, almost at the same time, they began to move the workbench meticulously, placing every tool and material carefully, and placing each tool and material on the The most suitable position for you. Although the time was limited, the two of them took this "foreplay" leisurely, and there was no time to watch the magic clock at all.
The eyes of several masters on the judging table fell on these two people. Master Anderson in the center nodded slightly, Rummenigge looked surprised and pleased, Master Leo frowned, and only Master Xhosa He murmured: "I didn't expect..."
After making all the preparations, the movements of the two began to change rapidly. They were also hitting metal. Chen Rui's hammering was wide open and closed, as if freehand brushwork with splashed ink; while Horford's movements were smaller and more subtle, like fine brushwork. painted. The eyes of the audience here were involuntarily attracted, and Qi Qi had an illusion, as if there were only two contestants on the stage, and the rest were just the background.
Anderson's eyes lingered on Horford for a while, and finally landed on Chen Rui. As the number one toolmaker who is proficient in metals, he can naturally see that although Horford's forging techniques are precise, accurate and impeccable, they really let him What moved him was Chen Rui's technique. This kind of hammering method was so ingenious and clumsy that it seemed to have broken away from the scope of ordinary demon tool makers. It was able to exert energy to the maximum extent and complete the refining and shaping process.
This method... Is it because of forging the tauren who is the best in the demon world
That's right! This kind of hammering method does have the spirit of the tauren. It is unexpected that someone in the devil world can master the forging technique of the tauren! Due to limited talent, the tauren's forging technique has always had the flaw of enchanting. If you add the enchanting technology mastered by the demons, then...
Anderson's eyes became brighter and brighter, staring closely at each hammer of Chen Rui, for fear of missing it.
Master Xhosa was already drinking, and he had a self-deprecating smile on his face. No wonder "Arthur" declined his offer to accept his apprentice, and only said that he would reply after the game. Even he was not as good as he was on the field at the moment , How can I be a teacher? However, in the form that this guy filled out, it seems to be... dual-line proficiency
Rummenigge's expression has changed from surprise to dignified: "It seems that this final has broken away from the category of 'master'..."
As soon as the expert stretched out his hand, he knew whether it was there, and the rest of the masters all showed their approval.
Master to master! And it's not just an ordinary master class!
The final was really unexpected!
Several metal makers who are proficient in metal have stopped forging in their hands, staring at the techniques and movements of the two, showing thoughts or surprises from time to time. The makers who can enter the final are all extraordinary people, so it is natural to see It shows that these two people are proud of their peers.
With these two people around, it is almost impossible to win the competition. It is rare to see a master-level forging. It is better to observe and study carefully, and it is not a "study with the prince" in vain.
After completing the forging, Chen Rui started enchanting. The tauren's forging is perfect, but there has always been a regret of enchanting. Today, he will make up for this regret!
Although there is a mastery of basic knowledge and advanced knowledge, Chen Rui's techniques are more like the shadows of Skye and Data. After completing the final enchantment on the board, this broadsword is finally done.
Around the same time, Horford completed his work, a swarthy dagger.
The upper-level champion Robert was a little faster than both of them and completed the work first.
This is a magic bracelet. Robert is really extraordinary. Once he entered the state, there was nothing foreign in his ears and eyes. All his attention was on the tools and materials in his hands, and he didn't notice the performance of Chen Rui and Horford. Of course, this is also the quality that an excellent instrument maker should possess.
The three works were placed on the judging table at the same time. The first thing to announce was the identification result of Robert's work: unnamed magic bracelet, water-type magic casting speed 10%, water-type magic damage increased by 17%, physical defense increased by 12%, excellent level .
"At Robert's current level, he can freely produce good excellent equipment, which is almost a junior master." Rummenigge said: "After the game, you can come to the league for master certification."
Although there were rumors early in the morning that Robert had already reached the level of a master, now that Rummenigge has officially confirmed it, many people present were still amazed that a master was born in the Toolmaker Competition.
Over the years, Robert has faintly reached the level of a master, but he has never participated in the certification. This time, he participated in the Artisan Master Competition because he wanted to stand out from the crowd and become famous in one fell swoop. Hearing that Rummenigge invited him to participate in the master certification in public, Robert showed a knowing smile, and set his provocative gaze on Chen Rui and Howard's faces.
However, Chen Rui and Howard just looked at each other, and there seemed to be an invisible electric spark in their eyes. They turned a blind eye to the provocation of Robert, a "third party". To be precise, they didn't see Robert at all, only each other is a worthy opponent.
The next thing to identify was Horford's dagger: "Gallery", a magic dagger, with a 22% increase in attack speed, a 20% increase in movement speed, and a 20% increase in tearing damage. Excellence class.
Robert's smile suddenly froze. It is also of the excellent level. The attributes of this dagger are higher than his magic bracelet. The method is engraved on the equipment, which is also a marking method used by the master.
Someone present already planned to buy this magic dagger from Horford with a lot of money after the game.
Then Chen Rui's broad sword was appraised. The level of this weapon was discussed by the masters in the jury for a while, and finally came to a verdict: a quasi-legendary weapon.
The so-called quasi-legendary level is the top-level excellence level weapon, and the enchantment attribute has exceeded the 30% upper limit of the excellence level, but it has not yet reached the level of a true legend level.
The name of the sword is "Blazing Pupil", a magical epee, the attack is increased by 31%, the recovery speed of physical strength is increased by 35%, and the crushing blow is increased by 28%.
Quasi-legendary! This time, there was a sensation in the audience, and quasi-legendary equipment appeared!
At this time, even the unaware tool makers stopped and looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this the tool maker competition? Or the Master Builder
On the throne, Catherine nodded slightly. In this year's finals, three masters were born, and quasi-legendary weapons appeared, which is really good.
Robert, who had protested against Chen Rui before, was already pale, and now he understood why the two of them didn't even bother to look at him. Before, he was proud of being invited to participate in the master certification, but now that little pride has been shattered by this epee. With this weapon, "Arthur" has already passed through without any certification procedures. He is a recognized master maker!
The Faramos in the stands were already pale. Dio clenched his fists and swung them vigorously a few times. Only Celine remained expressionless, with splendor in her eyes.
"Interesting! It seems that I still underestimated you! It's just that the game has just begun..." Horford's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He can also manufacture quasi-legendary equipment. The quality of equipment is related to factors such as state and material, and It doesn't mean that Chen Rui's level is better than him, but he has a more secure way to win.
Horford raised his voice, bowed to the VIP seats, and said: "Her Majesty the Queen, masters, since Arthur and I are both masters, then for the sake of fairness, I propose to use the one hundred years ago Masters The method decides the outcome."
The Masters Tournament a hundred years ago? The audience showed anticipation.
Since the equipment maker also has limitations in terms of status and inspiration, the rule of the Masters is to make three pieces of equipment and get the total score. If the three pieces of equipment are proficient in different types, there will be high bonus points.
Nate, the president of the Blood Fiend Empire's Toolmaker Alliance, is a rare top-level master who is proficient in two systems. A hundred years ago, he used this rule to defeat Master Anderson and became the number one toolmaker in the devil world.
There was a gap between Master Leo and Chen Rui, and he was the first to speak in agreement. Leo was the master of the Artisan Alliance. He was the first to agree, which made the audience applaud enthusiastically. Master Anderson frowned and asked Chen Rui: "Do you want Agree with Horford's suggestion?"
After listening to the requirements of the rules, Chen Rui shrugged: "I have no objection."
A real master race! The audience in the arena was so excited that their hands were clapped red. This final was so worth it!
Leo didn't count Robert, but Robert knew that his skills were not as good as others, so he didn't protest aloud. Similarly, he also had the intention of observing and studying at a close distance, so he stepped aside immediately.
After a burst of noise, the entire audience fell silent, waiting for the next round of contest between the two masters.
Horford did not choose to forge, and went straight to the armor making table, took out a large piece of animal hide from the space ring, and began to skillfully cut it.
Master Anderson's pupils shrank suddenly, he really is proficient in dual systems! Moreover, the dual mastery of metal and leather, including those familiar techniques, was possessed by his old opponent Nate. Is this Horford... a disciple of Nate
Nate is from the Samael royal family, and so is Horford. The more Anderson thinks about it, the more he thinks it's possible—it's been a hundred years, and Nate has actually trained such a genius disciple! The key now depends on whether Horford's leather proficiency has reached the master level. Otherwise, with the addition of dual-system proficiency points, even if "Arthur"'s metal proficiency is higher than the opponent's, there is no possibility of winning.
Many people guessed that Horford might be proficient in both systems, and the arena was boiling. Could it be that he wanted to witness the birth of a dual-system master
Celine in the stands showed a determined smile. This was her final ultimate move. According to the rules of the Masters Tournament, dual-line masters are invincible. Even if the opponent's single-line strength surpasses Horford, it is impossible to win.
At this time, there were more exclamations in the boiling sound. It turned out that Chen Rui also came to the production stage and took out a roll of fabric, which he "blackmailed" from Dio, which originated from death The crocodile skin of Zhihai and the leather cloth made by the secret method of the yarn it spit out, and it is also a crocodile beast of the demon emperor level.
Qiqi, the master at the VIP seat, gasped: Could it be...
The one who was most excited was Master Xhosa. The wine bottle was accidentally crushed, and the sharp fragments cut blood in his extremely unstable hand, and he still didn't know it.
The veteran demon master shouted in his heart: What this guy wants to show now is actually proficient in leather! This is not filled in that form! In addition to the metal mastery that has been revealed and the leather mastery that will be seen soon, there is another kind of mastery on that form!
Isn't it a miracle that two master craftsmen who are proficient in both systems? Could it be that the biggest miracle in the world of tool making in the past ten thousand years will come
