Chapter 159 True and False Art
But for someone like Feng Qinglang, who can come out of a thousand years in a blink of an eye, the puzzle in front of him is too simple.
"Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, do you remember this pattern?"
"Um."
The old man in red immediately scrambled the puzzle, and with his fingers flying, hundreds of pieces of the puzzle fell scattered on the desk.
"Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, you have one hour. If you feel uncomfortable during the process, you can stop at any time.
Feng Qinglang did not take action immediately. She stared at the fragments for a while, then closed her eyes and simulated the specific steps before opening her eyes and flying her hands, almost without any pause.
In just a few blinks, the puzzle piece has been perfectly restored.
The old man in red opened his mouth slightly, and then closed it again after a while. This guy took no more than two minutes. This time he may have really recruited a master-level illusionist.
You know, although the puzzle in front of you is just a test work, the producer is Liu Duzun, who is famous in the illusion world.
He swallowed and then said: "Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, you did a good job but according to the rules, you have to fight again."
The result was not unexpected. Five minutes later, the old man in red personally sent Feng Qinglang out of the door of the Mercenary Association, as enthusiastically as he was saying goodbye to his immediate boss.
Due to Feng Qinglang's extraordinary level of illusion, the old man in red finally revealed a little more information, which was that his employer had been hit by a terrible illusion that could not be lifted.
Illusionists rarely gather together, but the number of illusionists gathered around him has changed batch after batch, and the amount of remuneration has also increased from the initial one million gold coins to the terrifying four million gold coins now. Naturally
, famous illusionists are gradually joining this problem.
Of course, if you want to see your employer and get paid, you have to pass the second round of selection. The next day, you will compete with other illusionists who have passed the interview to become the employer's royal illusionist.
Still in the Flame Mercenary Association branch, the employer has rented a banquet room on the third floor for a long time to serve as the second round of assessment venue. In addition to showing the employer's wealth, it can also be seen that the employer's illness is definitely not a day or two.
Already.
The banquet room already has the magnetic field of an illusionist, and I don’t know how many illusionists have been tested here before and after, so that the unique psychedelic atmosphere can become the temperament of this place.
The old man in red personally led Feng Qinglang up without any special reservations. He told Feng Qinglang that the team of illusionists used by his employer used an elimination system. Every once in a while, there would be an internal competition within the team to determine the ranking.
The last three people are going to come here to compete with the future preparatory illusionists and new applicants like Feng Qinglang.
If they are still considered outstanding compared to those who come after them, then they can continue to stay; but if they are eliminated, they will be officially removed from the royal team and the people who come after them will take their place.
This elimination system can indeed ensure that the members of the illusionist team will become increasingly outstanding.
However, illusionists are all arrogant, so why should they abide by such elimination rules? That is money. The monthly salary for illusionists who stay in the team is 50,000 gold coins. No matter whether you can cure your employer or not, you will not be able to heal your employer.
The fixed income that can be obtained does not conflict with the four million gold coins as a reward for completing the task.
Such a high reward is enough for the proud illusionist to temporarily put down his pride.
Feng Qinglang commented on this: "Now I completely believe that my employer's condition is indeed very serious.
In the center of the banquet hall is a round table with a diameter of ten meters, full of black matte texture. Feng Qinglang and his new batch of preparatory illusionists have already taken their seats. There are eleven people in total. It was during this period that they passed the first round table.
Illusionists undergoing a round of assessment.
They looked at each other for a while, although it was not excessive, but most of them had arrogant looks in their eyes, and they did not say hello to each other. This was very in line with the style of the illusionist profession, which likes to be independent and do not like to cooperate with others.
The second hand of the wall clock at the end of the hall was ticking. After a while, a hook-nosed illusionist next to Feng Qinglang snorted coldly and said coldly: "Can we start now?"
The old man in red said with a smile: "Please wait a little longer, there are still people who haven't arrived yet." His eyes deliberately looked at the three empty seats. Those who knew the inside story would naturally understand that those were the eliminated ones in the royal team.
location.
The hooked nose glanced at the three seats and snorted disdainfully. Apparently he was also someone who knew the inside story.
After a while, the three illusionists finally arrived.
The leading man is very conspicuous, not because he is too outstanding, but because he is too ordinary. With a kind old man's face and a set of decent but not ostentatious clothes, he looks more like the rich men who can be seen everywhere in Baiyun City, rather than
An illusionist.
They were competitors. These guys were late. Most of the people looked slightly hostile. However, a big man sitting next to Feng Qinglang immediately stood up and bowed excitedly: "Teacher Ximu, you...how could you do this?"
Here? I visited you at the beginning of the year, and the boy said that you had gone on a wandering trip."
When Ximu's name came out, Feng Qinglang had no reaction, but he noticed that the faces of everyone around him changed slightly. It seemed that this old man should be a well-known figure in the illusion world.
The rich man named Ximu stopped and smiled at the big man: "It turns out to be Xiaoyaozi. I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown stronger. After a while, show off your full strength and let me see you."
The progress over the years... Sit down, sit down, we will talk about old times later."
Ximu has already answered the big man's question from another angle. Why is he here? Because he is the eliminated member of this round of the employer's royal illusionist team and is here to compete with them for a spot.
This old guy Ximu is considered a famous figure, but he is also ranked at the bottom of that team? The expressions of the illusionists around the round table were a bit ugly, and their arrogant expressions were quietly put away.
Feng Qinglang thinks this is normal, otherwise she would not be able to afford such a high reward.
After Ximu and the other three sat down, the old man in red came to the door and stood respectfully, as if waiting for the arrival of some important person.
The door opened, and a woman in green clothes walked into the banquet living room. She had a rather graceful figure. A veil covered most of her face, and her true appearance could not be seen clearly. However, the old man in red hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "Miss,
You will personally host it this time."
"Yes." The woman responded softly and stepped in. She didn't make any special gestures, but she still had the aura of a superior person.
Feng Qinglang blinked his eyes in surprise. Although the woman covered her face, her exposed eyes, which seemed to fit into the bright autumn eyes of the Luoyun Mountains, made him feel very familiar. What month was she?
Beatrice whom I had never met before... they actually met again on such an occasion.
Beatrice looked around, and when her eyes fell on Feng Qinglang, she stopped in surprise. The bright autumn light in her eyes naturally revealed a smile, but she knew that now was not a good time to recognize each other, so she immediately glanced at Feng Qinglang.
Afterwards, she took a seat in the chairperson's seat one step above the round table and said calmly: "Your Excellencies, I am the representative of the employer and the supervisor of this competition."
After a very brief self-introduction, she nodded to the old man in red, indicating that she could start.
The old man in red cleared his throat, suppressed his usual smile, and said seriously: "Everyone, in a moment, the old man will open up a chaotic space in the spiritual sea as your battlefield. You will enter it with your own spiritual power, and fight with others.
In the competition, the top three with the best scores will be the ones hired for this task..."
When everyone's focus was no longer on herself, Beatrice's eyes naturally returned to Feng Qinglang, and she realized that the other person was also looking at her. There was a smile in her eyes, as if she was asking: How could you do this?
Here, he actually appears with his true colors...
Feng Qinglang could only try hard to let her eyes express the same meaning: You are here too, but your true colors are covered up...
"...Then, let's get started." The old man in red waved his two broad sleeves at the same time, and everything around him seemed to be quickly shrinking. In an endless dark space, the edge of the space could not be sensed, and he could only feel that it was extremely vast.
, it’s all a breath of chaos.
The people who were originally sitting around the table seemed to be extremely far away from each other in this chaos. They could only vaguely feel that their directions to each other were still the same as before.
In such chaotic darkness, the whole person seems to become confused. If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will quickly sink here, thinking that you are also a part of this darkness, and then turn into chaos, living in this chaotic world endlessly.
Drifting in the world.
But no one present was an ordinary person. The three most experienced eliminated people reacted almost immediately. Their continents began to be quickly constructed in the void, some were bright, some were weird and colorful... Three
A vast continent of various shapes was quickly established in the chaos. The crude structure had just been built. The mountains, rivers, trees, rivers, oceans, etc. inside also quickly followed and were outlined on their continent...
Only then did everyone realize that the competition had begun and hurried to follow. So, in this chaos, just like the creation of the world by the gods, various continents and planets were born in the seven-color brilliance, and various geographical construction methods were created.
Build one world after another.
Constructing the details of the world is the most important test of the illusionist's skill. Some people may be rough, but if it looks real, people will believe it is real. Some people may be delicate, but if it is too exaggerated, it will make people think it is false.
