If they don't go, as long as any of you dare to stand up and sign up immediately, the dean will immediately approve what dean Yali said, which immediately makes everyone blush with embarrassment, all withered heads and heads, and walk away dejectedly.

After that, Dean Yali returned to the office with the three people and introduced to Guan Heng and others the details of participating in this competition. It turned out that the preliminary competition was not held in the capital of the Kingdom of Nili, but the participating teams needed to cross the Nora Mountains.

, and then go alone.

Not only that, when Guan Heng and the three of them reached the top of the mountain range, they had to defeat the challenger sent by the organizer of the conference and obtain three participation tokens before they were eligible to go to the Kingdom of Nili to participate in the secondary competition.

Only then did Guan Heng and others understand that even if they wanted to achieve the preliminaries goal, it would not be so easy. At this moment, Guan Heng thought to himself: I never imagined that a college martial arts competition would be so troublesome.

After discussing the details, Dean Yali said to Guan Heng: Go back and prepare yourself. Norton Yulijia will stay in the college for classes today, and let them get familiar with the environment, teachers and students in the college.

That's it, Dean, I'll leave first. So Guan Heng said goodbye to everyone. After leaving the Magic Martial Arts Academy, he went straight to the library in Baron Plan's house.

When he met Pu Lang's housekeeper in the courtyard, Guan Heng asked: What is Baron Pu Lang doing at this time?

Mr. Guan Heng, my baron is still in the underground laboratory. The housekeeper said: He has locked himself in there for a long time, but his three daily meals are delivered on time.

Guan Heng nodded slightly: I see, I understand.

At this time, Guan Heng thought to himself: Pu Lang must be forgetting sleep and eating in order to arrange the magic circle to promote the hatching of insect eggs. It is better not to disturb Pu Lang in the underground laboratory.

So Guan Heng said: Butler, I'm going to the library first. If anything happens, just go to the library or the guest room and let me know.

Okay, Mr. Guan Heng, please help yourself. After the butler bowed and saluted, he left alone.

Guan Heng himself went to the library of the Baron Mansion. In the library, he began to read various classics, and carefully studied the notes given to him by Mrs. Cyndia, trying to understand the mystery of the Great Healing Technique.

Just like that, half a day passed in the blink of an eye. After that, Guan Heng felt a little sleepy. He stretched and said, "Uh-huh, I'm a little tired. Let's go to the guest room of the Baron Mansion to rest."

Ah, by the way. Guan Heng suddenly remembered something at this moment: Don't be busy resting now, you still have to go out.

A moment later, at the gate of the Baron's Mansion, Guan Heng said to himself: Since he is going to travel with his two children, he must prepare more necessities. These must be purchased on the street, and then he will stop by to see Fatty Hyde.

When he walked out of the door, Guan Heng smiled and greeted the servant guarding the door. He was no different from his master in the baron's mansion because Pu Lang had told him that Guan Heng was his best friend and he should enjoy the same treatment as himself.

When Guan Heng arrived at the central street of Wangdu, he obviously noticed that the market was a little deserted today. He thought to himself: It's really strange. Many shops are closed and locked. I don't know why.

Although he felt confused in his heart, Guan Heng did not stop but continued to move forward.

After searching around for a long time, he finally found a grocery store that was about to close. Guan Heng ran over in a hurry: Hey, boss, wait a minute. I want to

To put it bluntly, Guan Heng spent a lot of effort before the store owner agreed to sell him some of the things he needed to purchase.

After paying the money, Guan Heng asked casually: By the way, boss, it’s daytime now, why do you have to close the door so quickly? Don’t you want to do business?

When you heard this, the color of the grocery store owner's face suddenly changed. He shouted in a low voice: "Don't be wordy, get out of here as soon as you buy something." As he said this, the boss and the clerk were pushing and shoving, and they were rushing to check everything.

He blasted out of the store.

The two shop doors were immediately closed tightly, which made Guan Heng feel confused: something seems wrong, go and see the fat man quickly.

So Guan Heng hurried to Fatty Hyde's magic weapon equipment store. At first glance, he was a little disappointed: Tsk, Fatty's store here is also locked. Since the store has been closed, Guan Heng didn't even think about it.

The only option was to run straight towards Hyde's house.

When he knocked on the door at Fatty's house, he happened to meet the housekeeper first, so Guan Heng asked: How are you doing, Fatty?

Well, the housekeeper looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: Sir, he has been ill recently, so he has been recuperating at home.

So that’s it. When Guan Heng heard the fat man saying he was sick at home, he asked again: Then why did the magic weapons store close down?

The butler said: Following the master's order, it was announced that the store was in short supply and would be closed for a month and a half.

But just as the housekeeper was saying this, Guan Heng had already caught a glimpse of a large number of servants and waiters not far away carrying many goods into the warehouse.

At this moment, Guan Heng was wondering: These goods seemed to have just arrived, but why Haide announced that there was a shortage of goods and closed down his business was really baffling. It seemed that he should ask him for clarification.

Following the housekeeper, he quickly walked to Fatty Hyde's living room, but Guan Heng saw Fatty eating and drinking in front of a table filled with dishes.

Guan Heng frowned as he looked at it: This guy is not sick at all.

Well, when Guan Heng, Fatty Haide saw Guan Heng arriving, he was so surprised that he didn't even notice that the chicken drumstick in his hand fell on the table.

Hey, Fatty. Guan Heng asked Haide: What’s going on with the strange things on the street and the strange scene in your home?

Hey, you don’t know something. Hyde smiled bitterly and said: Now all the shops in the royal capital have secretly reached a tacit agreement to close down together.

Are you all crazy? Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and asked: Why do we have to close the door when we are not doing good business in broad daylight?

It was because he was not crazy that he did this. Hyde shook his big head and replied helplessly: Because of the battle with the orcs at the border, the royal family had temporarily imposed heavy taxes several times, and the merchants in the royal capital were overwhelmed.

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I had to close down.

The fat man sighed again: There is no other way to close down business. If that doesn't work, most of the merchants will have to move away from the capital and flee to make a living elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, even the merchants encountered such difficulties. After hearing this, Guan Heng just sighed secretly: Is the royal family turning a blind eye to all this?
