Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu knew in his heart that in this kind of contest, the side making offensive magic weapons would take the initiative, while the side making defensive magic weapons would take the passive role.

If there is really a mechanism here, the opponent will definitely be fully prepared in advance, and the probability of losing will be high. But Zhang Yu never expected that the Royal Manor would do such a thing.

But think about it, this is England, the home stadium of the foreign devils, how could it be possible for the final to be played by two Orientals? In that case, where would they put their face?

Although I have some friendship with Miss Allen, I'm afraid Miss Allen's words don't count for this kind of thing.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know the mechanisms here. Now that you know there are mechanisms inside, if you still suffer the disadvantage of being dumb, you won't be Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu's hand just scratched inside and found the location of the mechanism. There was a small iron piece, but it was remote-controlled, so using his hands would definitely be in vain.

Zhang Yu moved his hand, and a needle fell out of his cuff. He gently hooked the iron piece with his hand, and with a soft "click" sound, the sandwich below flipped up, and there was indeed a small ball inside.

Of course, it is not impossible for Zhang Yu to directly take out all three small balls. However, if he does this, he will break up with the other party. The exchange meeting will definitely be cancelled, and he will offend the English royal family. It is estimated that his Taoism will also be destroyed. No need to hang out in England.

No matter what you do, at least face must be saved for the other party. So, Zhang Yu just grabbed the small ball that he found in his hand, and dropped a ball at random. The mechanism was closed again, and Zhang Yu took out the ball.

Miss Allen didn't seem to notice this, because Zhang Yu's speed was too fast, which was less than ten seconds slower than the little nun just played. To outsiders, Zhang Yu seemed to be making a decision.

"Daozhang Zhang, please stand aside and wait with the ball. Now, please ask Mr. Leonardo to draw the ball." Miss Allen said.

Zhang Yu stood aside and Leonardo walked to the table. At this time, Zhang Yu heard a soft "click" from the silver pot.

He pretended not to know anything and just waited for Leonardo to pull out the ball.

After Leonardo put his hand in, he quickly grabbed a small ball. Miss Allen immediately said: "Please open the small ball."

Zhang Yu and Leonardo unscrewed the ball together, and Zhang Yu unfolded the note, which turned out to be a red circle. He lit up the note and glanced at Miss Allen, wanting to see how Miss Allen would react to this result.

Miss Allen looked normal and said, "There is a red circle on Daozhang Zhang's note."

Seeing her being so calm, Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment and said to himself that it seemed like she really didn't know.

Zhang Yu subconsciously looked back at the notary's seat. Duke Goodson looked expectant and could not see anything else. Archbishop Charles's face was already a little uncertain.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu was immediately sure that this old guy was probably responsible.

Leonardo also unfolded the note, and there was a black circle on it. At this moment, Leonardo's face was also startled, as if he was very surprised by this result.

Just last night, he received an important call. The person on the phone told him that he would draw "offense" tomorrow and make an offensive weapon. So, he started to prepare at night without even sleeping well.

Now let him draw a "Guardian" mark, isn't this a scam? All the hard work I put in last night was in vain.

Leonardo cursed secretly in his heart, who sent this news to me? It’s too deceptive!

Miss Allen also confirmed Leonardo's note and said: "Mr. Leonardo's is a note of protection, making a magical weapon of protection."

Leonardo had no choice. Even though he had prepared in advance, the note he drew was not an offensive weapon. What could he say?

You can't tell me about the phone call you received last night. That would be asking for trouble.

Miss Allen paused, then continued: "Now it has been determined what kind of magical artifacts the two groups of contestants will make. The location of this exchange is on the color stage, and the four guests are making magical artifacts in public!"

At this point, the audience immediately burst into applause, "Pa bang bang bang." "Pa bang bang bang." "Pa bang bang bang."

It is a good opportunity for schools to make magical instruments on the spot and watch them nearby without having to look at the big screen. The eliminated guests and the people they brought were all very interested in this. Hope to get some lessons from it.

You know, it doesn't matter if you are eliminated. What is important is that you can open your eyes and gain insights through this exchange meeting.

In the audience, Che Xinyoumei's face still didn't look very good. Zhang Yu rescued her yesterday, but it didn't mean that the evil spirit in her body was completely resolved. She still needed to do it herself, and it would even take a few days. To be cured.

Even so, Cha Xinyumi also came this morning because she also wanted to learn something from it. Especially Zhang Yu and Kong Yi, both of them came from Eastern China, one a Taoist and the other a Buddhist. The onmyoji of the island country originated from the mystic arts of Eastern China. It has many similarities with Taoism, and later borrowed Buddhist techniques. Therefore, Cha Xinyumi is particularly interested in this.

When the applause stopped, Miss Allen continued: "The time limit is three hours, as you all know. Now please ask the staff to move the tables and chairs, and the exchange is about to begin."

At that moment, more than a dozen staff members came on stage, some moved tables, some moved chairs, and arranged them in front of the stage.

When the staff went down, Miss Allen continued: "To make a magic weapon, you must use some props. These props are provided by our Royal Manor. These props are ordinary objects. After the four guests have chosen, You can check each other. What are the props? Please look at the big screen."

After saying that, Miss Allen turned to look at the big screen, and Zhang Yu and Kong Yi also turned around and looked over.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were also focused on the big screen.

The screen, which was originally off, now lights up, and various objects appear on the screen.

Jewelry, bottles, calligraphy, paintings, musical instruments, everything.

Miss Allen said: "Four guests, you have five minutes to make a choice and pick out a suitable object as a prop."

These props are divided into Eastern and Western colors, and there are all kinds.

Among them is a white jade gourd, which is very beautiful, with green patterns on top of the white color.

Zhang Yu pointed at the white jade gourd and said directly: "I will choose the white jade gourd."

"Okay." Miss Allen nodded.

Seeing Zhang Yu pointing at the white jade gourd, Leonardo thought for a moment, pointed to a golden vase, and said, "Miss Allen, I choose this vase."

"OK." Miss Allen nodded.

The little nun Kong Yi was not in a hurry, admiring it leisurely. She didn't know if she wanted to see what her opponent Rockenwell would choose.

Soon, Rockenwell made his choice, pointed at each of the decorative swords, and said, "I choose this sword."

Miss Allen also nodded, "OK."

Seeing Rockenwell make his choice, Kong Yi looked at it for half a minute before pointing to a silver plate and saying, "I choose this silver plate."

"Okay." Miss Ellen nodded.

She turned around and looked at the audience and said, "The four guests have been selected."

Then, she reported the props chosen by the four people, and finally said: "Please ask the staff to bring up the props."

After waiting for about five minutes, a staff member came to the stage carrying the items chosen by the four people on a tray.

The four tables on the stage were arranged according to serial numbers. No. 1 was empty chess, and the silver plate was placed on her table. Rockenwell is number 2, and the decorative sword is placed on his desk. Next came Zhang Yu’s white jade gourd and Leonardo’s golden vase.

After all the things were placed, Miss Allen asked the four guests to take their seats. After Zhang Yu and the others sat down, she said: "You have five minutes to prepare now. If you have any equipment that you have not brought, please come up immediately. Ask someone to bring it up. There is only one chance. After the timer starts, for the sake of fairness, you can no longer ask for tools from below, you can only use the items you carry."

Zhang Yu took it calmly and took out the items he needed from his arms. There are cinnabar, writing brush, and talisman paper inside, which is very simple.

The things the little nun used for Kong Yi were also very simple, a scripture, a wooden fish, and nothing else.

Rockenwell was also very well prepared. He took off the cross from his neck, took out the Bible from his arms, and ten small silver flowers.

Leonardo's preparations were not that complete, and all the efforts he put in last night were in vain. Leng Buding switches from offense to defense, which is simply fatal. I had prepared some auxiliary materials, but now I couldn't use any of them, so I had to take out some odds and ends and a "Holy Lesson" from my pocket, and rely on improvisation.

Five minutes passed quickly, and no one asked to go to the stage to get something. As soon as the time was up, Miss Allen said directly: "Start the timer!"

As soon as the voice settled, the big screen changed immediately. There were four screens used to film Zhang Yu and the four people, and there was another screen that only showed the time.

The three people are at the same time, and there is no distinction between them. No matter how long it takes you to make the magic weapon, there is only one thing that can determine the outcome. Unless two people are unable to make the magic weapon on time.

It took three hours, so the four people started making the magic weapon right away.

The prop used by the little nun Kong Yi was a silver plate. She placed the sutra book on the silver plate, then picked up the wooden stick and began to hit the wooden fish in front of her.

"Dong dong dong"

As she knocked, she muttered softly, seemingly chanting sutras.

Good guy, it's really easy for her to make magic weapons.

Not far from her is Rockenwell No. 2. The prop chosen by Rockenwell is a European-style long sword. This sword is relatively wide and is used for decoration.

Rockenwell placed the Bible under the blade of the sword, the cross on the sword's jaw, ten small silver flowers surrounding the long sword, and began to chant plausibly.

His approach is quite similar to Kong Yi.

Leonardo, in the 4th position, placed the "Holy Lesson" flat, and placed the gold vase as the prop he chose on top of the "Holy Lesson". Among the bits and pieces he took out, there were small silver balls, small crystal balls, and a crystal ball as big as a fist.

Leonardo placed the crystal ball as big as his fist at the mouth of the golden bottle. The mouth of the bottle was not as big as the crystal ball, so that the crystal ball appeared outside. Other crystal balls and silver balls surrounded the gold vase. Immediately afterwards, he also began to talk plausibly.

What these three people did was not surprising, as they were blessing magic weapons.

The so-called blessing requires incantations and mana, and such incantations are often written in chapters, just like scriptures.

Zhang Yu's approach was completely different from theirs. This was not because Taoists did not recite sutras, but because Zhang Yu did not know many sutras. Also, most of the Taoist magic weapons are refined and have little to do with chanting sutras.

Zhang Yu took out and opened the cinnabar box, then scratched the palm of his left hand, dripped blood into the box, then picked up the brush and mixed the cinnabar. After mixing the cinnabar and blood evenly, Zhang Yu began to draw on the white jade gourd with a brush.

What he drew on it were runes, and cinnabar with blood was painted on it. The red was bright, and there was a hint of gold hidden in the red.

The runes Zhang Yu drew at the lower part of the gourd were "Eight and Nine Gathering Evils", and then the four symbols above produced "Yin". This is a formation he is familiar with. Just drawing runes on the gourd takes a lot of time. After all, drawing on the gourd and drawing on the rune paper are two different things. The most important thing is that it also needs the blessing of true energy. Otherwise, how can the gourd have powerful magic power.

After almost two hours, Zhang Yu finished drawing the runes. Then, he took the prepared blank talisman paper, which was a bright yellow talisman paper, and he drew a water and thunder talisman on the talisman paper.

With a "pop" sound, the talisman paper ignited, and Zhang Yu threw the talisman ashes into the mouth of the gourd. He turned the gourd upside down, and the mouth of the gourd rushed down, emptying out the talisman ashes poured into it.

It seems that the talisman ashes have come out, but the power on the talisman paper has been left in the gourd.

Zhang Yu could completely feel that the gourd was full of spiritual energy. Although it was a one-time magic weapon, its power was extraordinary. The only flaw is that this thing is not as good as the magical weapon I refined using the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Even so, Zhang Yu was already very satisfied. This was much stronger than the Shanhai Zhenke he had refined in the White Eyebrow Palace.

If it were before, Zhang Yu would never have the strength to create such a powerful magic weapon in less than three hours.

However, Zhang Yu's face is not very good-looking now, a little pale.

The consumption has been constant in the past two days. The suction method the day before yesterday was counterattacked, and yesterday was another war of attrition. Now, he doesn't have much energy left in his body.

After making his magical weapon, he could only wait. Zhang Yu looked left and right. Kong Yi at position 1 was still chanting, and Rockenwell at position 2 had stopped. It seemed that he was done. , Leonardo in position 4 is still talking about it.

Time was running out, so Zhang Yu could only wait quietly, but people in the audience were already talking quietly.

The audience can completely see the process of the four of them making the magic weapon. Even those in the back can see it clearly through the big screen.

The props chosen by others looked the same as before, so there was nothing strange about them.

Zhang Yu’s white jade gourd has undergone the greatest change. The blood-colored runes on the gourd also have a touch of gold, which is beautiful. The white jade gourd has green patterns on it, and when paired with blood, it becomes even more beautiful. It gives people a pleasant and mysterious feeling.
