When the lights in the venue hall suddenly went out, countless flight attendants in the entire venue were startled and reacted subconsciously, condensing their magic power.
Especially Kanata, Chloe, Yuri and Mina, who had just learned that Jess's humanoid magic armored insect existed here, were more vigilant than anyone else and wanted to take action immediately.
However, before that, Luo Zhen spoke to stop everyone.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay."
Luo Zhenyan's concise and concise words made everyone stop moving.
At this moment, a spotlight shot down from the ceiling and shone on a high platform in the venue hall.
There, there was the master of ceremonies for this pre-game dinner.
"Please pay attention, let's start the pre-game speech now."
The master of ceremonies said this while comforting the flight attendants in the venue.
"Please invite the representatives of the organizer "Floating Cities Alliance" Council to come to the stage."
As soon as these words came out, another spotlight was cast on the ceiling, shining on a young man who slowly walked onto the stage.
The other party wore a dark gray dress and came to the stage. After taking the microphone, he immediately showed a hearty smile to everyone present.
"I am the chairman of the Council of the Floating Cities Alliance, Jess Weigert."
The person who appeared was none other than Jace.
"Is he Jace?"
Kanata, Chloe, Yuri, and Mina opened their eyes wide, and immediately stared at Jace.
Luo Zhen also stared at the other party, but looked away disapprovingly.
"Really cautious."
No wonder Luo Zhen said that.
Because the Jace on the stage was the same as when he met Luo Zhen yesterday. He was not himself, but a puppet who was a clone.
Obviously, at the moment, Jess doesn't plan to show up in person in front of Luo Zhen.
One can imagine how afraid Jess was of Luo Zhen.
Yomiel and his party seemed to have discovered this, looking at Jace on the stage with calm eyes.
Other than that, no one in the venue seemed to notice this, and all their eyes were attracted to Jace.
And with all the attention in the venue, Jess spoke calmly.
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here to express our gratitude to the Floating Cities Alliance."
With that said, Jess began to speak a long speech.
At first glance, you can tell that the speech is the same thing. It is nothing more than for world peace and resistance to the magic armored insects. Humanity is prospering, and everyone is the hope of the future of mankind. Therefore, I am looking forward to the performance of the air warriors in this "Aerial Combat Martial Arts Festival" Performance in it and so on.
However, everyone present listened with gusto, and one had to admire Jess's strong speaking skills, which made the originally boring speech become intoxicating. If Jess's true identity had not been known in advance, perhaps, even Kou Everyone will be confused.
Then, Jess finished his speech in five minutes and came down from the stage with a very calm expression, as if what happened yesterday had never happened at all.
At this time, the emcee's voice sounded again.
"Next, Speaker Haldeman Endikes, the vicar of His Majesty the Pope, will address you."
So, instead of Jess, an older gentleman wearing a monocle came on stage.
"President of the Council..."
"Halderman Endikes..."
"His Majesty the Pope's Vicar"
"This is a character I've never seen before."
Kanata, Chloe, Yuri and Mina whispered to each other.
"Is it him?"
Luo Zhen also looked at Haldeman a few more times.
It is said that Haldeman is not only the speaker of the Council, but his family has been serving the Pope since ancient times, and he has more trust from the Pope than the president who controls the Council.
Therefore, Haldemann not only has the right to meet the Pope directly, but is also the Pope's agent outside, responsible for conveying the hidden Pope's will to everyone.
However, Haldemann has controlled the actual power of "Weibel" as the Pope's agent for many years, because he is the only one who has the power to meet the Pope. He has used this power to forcefully promote many policies. , even the "Air Combat Martial Arts Festival" was pushed forward by him relying on the authority of the Pope, which led to a poor reputation outside. Some people even thought that he killed the Pope and used the Pope's name to do mischief.
Of course, Luo Zhen and others all knew the clues to the "Aerial Battle Martial Arts Festival".
Thinking that the "Air Combat Martial Arts Festival" was probably an excuse for the Pope to gather air warriors from all over the world into "Weibel" and then launch a resistance against Jace, Haldeman pushed forward this resolution and let the "Air Combat" If the Martial Arts Festival can be held, then he should be a person sent by the Pope and an agent who has the true trust of the Pope.
Therefore, Luo Zhen looked at Haldeman a few more times.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Haldeman also glanced at Luo Zhen when he came on stage, with a glint in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Immediately afterwards, Haldeman withdrew his gaze without any trace and began to speak.
This time, the content of Haldeman's speech was not the same.
As the Pope's agent and the sole promoter of the "Aerial Combat Martial Arts Festival", Haldeman took the stage to talk about the competition methods and rules of the "Aerial Combat Martial Arts Festival".
Yes.
The competition methods and rules are finally announced.
And, again, in surprising ways.
"For this "Aerial Combat Martial Arts Festival" competition, first of all, we are going to let the representative teams from each academy's floating city compete in a melee."
Haldeman said this without joy or sorrow.
"Melee?"
Everyone present looked at each other.
"That's right."
Haldeman nodded.
"Starting tomorrow, the representative teams from each school's floating city will compete for survival on the ninth artificial sky island for three days and two nights."
"At that time, each team will be able to obtain an orb and compete with each other for the orbs in each other's hands. The team that captures three orbs will win this survival competition."
"After the survival competition, all winning teams will directly engage in simulated battles to compete with each other to determine the winner."
This is the competition format and rules of the "Aerial Combat Martial Arts Festival".
"His Majesty the Pope is also looking forward to your performance. I hope that you will do your best, risk your honor as an aerial combat magician, and win this competition for survival."
Haldeman said this as if there was something in his words.
"I believe that after getting through this difficulty, you will see a broader sky."
With these words, Haldeman stepped down.
All the pilots present immediately started talking, expressing their opinions on tomorrow's competition for survival.
Only Luo Zhen and his party remained silent.
"Competition for survival?"
The other side's murmur made everyone feel heavy in their hearts.
This may really turn into a cruel competition for survival.
Haldeman seemed to know something inside, but he didn't intend to announce it.
Jace still looked calm, in agreement with Yomiel and others.
No one thinks that this competition for survival will be completed smoothly.
Kanata, Chloe, Yuri and Mina were ready to wake up.
And Luo Zhen...
"Um?"
Luo Zhen suddenly raised his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, behind Luo Zhen, a voice came without warning.
"Warehouse Street, Outer Rim District, I'll wait for you there."
Whispers that no one but Luo Zhen could hear floated into Luo Zhen's ears.
After that, the aura of the owner of the voice disappeared.
Luo Zhen didn't look back, just smiled, and then left quietly.
