Layla was panting heavily on the side of the street. She was exhausted from chasing the swift flying butterflies.

On the other side, there is Xingqiu with shining eyes,

Because Chongyun was surrounded by girls and couldn't leave, he was a little idle, but he saw a swift flying butterfly flying over again.

There is no reason not to give up the scores that are delivered to your door.

That's why Xingqiu and Leila shouted at the same time to stop Candice's actions.

"Oh? You two called me, is there something rude on my part?" Candice looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"No, no, ma'am, you misunderstood. It's just that the butterfly on your head is a prop for this competition. It moves very fast. Please wait and don't disturb it. We will catch it soon." Xingqiu explained, and then approached Chongyun, wanting Chongyun to use the group of butterflies to control the swift flying butterfly.

On the other side, Leila was also looking at Candice, but she had an advantage over Xingqiu, that is, she knew Candice.

"Miss Candice, I'm chasing this swift butterfly." Leila shouted.

Candice looked at Xingqiu, then at Leila.

"Oh, it's you, Leila. You didn't sleepwalk this time?"

Said Leila jokingly,

Candice's head swam, and she saw the swift butterfly was startled and was about to fly away.

Unfortunately, someone is faster than it.

Candice's eyes flashed, and she stretched out her right hand, accurately intercepting the swift flying butterfly in its flight path and grabbing it.

"Hiss, so fast~"

Chongyun, who had received the message from Xingqiu and was about to control the swarm of butterflies to score the second point, looked at Candice in surprise.

Based on the other party’s actions just now, Chongyun knew that this was another powerful holder of the Eye of God.

The speed and judgment just now reminded Chongyun of his aunt.

My aunt in the magical state is always so fast and precise.

"Oh, is this the mission butterfly you want?" Candice casually looked at the swift flying butterfly in her hand and didn't see anything special.

He threw the Swift Flying Butterfly to Leila.

As for why it was given to Leila, it was because among the contestants here, she only knew Leila.

There was a hint of regret in his eyes, but although he didn't get the second point, Xingqiu still maintained his etiquette.

"It seems that I am short-sighted. I didn't expect that you, ma'am, are such a powerful warrior." Xingqiu sighed.

"Hahahaha, of course, Candice is the guardian of Aru Village, she's very powerful." Dixia laughed and boasted to everyone about how powerful Candice was.

Candice shook her head slightly, somewhat uncomfortable with Dishia's boasting.

Although most of these boasts are true.

On the other side, on the celebration platform, the scoreboard changed continuously.

[Points ranking list:

First place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

……

Seventh place: Falushan (Sumeru), 1 point.

Eighth place: Leila (Sumeru), 1 point.

...]

Two more places were confirmed, and the discussion among the crowd became more heated. Everyone became more curious about who would get the last two points.

Before the discussion lasted long, the list changed again.

[Points ranking list:

First place: Keli (Mond), 1 point.

Second place: Ah Mao (Xumi), 1 point.

Third place: Ying (traveler), 1 point.

Fourth place: Sainuo (Xumi), 1 point.

Fifth place: Arataki Yidou (Inazuma), 1 point.

Sixth place: Xingqiu (Liyue), 1 point.

Seventh place: Falushan (Sumeru), 1 point.

Eighth place: Leila (Sumeru), 1 point.

Ninth place: Scorpion (Sumeru), 1 point.

Tenth place: Charlotte (Fontaine), 1 point. 】

On the high platform, two light screens were magnified.

It was the scene where the last two Swift Flies were captured.

It is very simple to capture the scorpion. Just find the Swift Flying Butterfly and then use your powerful strength to take it down directly.

The lightning power of the Holy Poison Scorpion only took a moment to knock down the swift flying butterfly in mid-air.

Although he lost a point to Aradaki Ichito, Scorpion still managed to score.

The last one was somewhat unexpected.

It's not Faluzan and Kawi who released a large number of mechanical butterflies, nor is it Tinari who wanted to give a lecture.

But the reporter from Fontaine,

As an international journalist, Charlotte's last desert adventure story was a huge success.

Many Fontaine people are curious about foreign affairs and want to know more.

So when the House of Lords held a celebration and invited representatives from various countries to attend, Charlotte knew that there must be big news.

So she appeared here very naturally.

In order to present more authentic news materials, she even signed up for a competition.

She was just here to take news photos, but as she was taking photos, a swift butterfly landed on her camera.

The female reporter didn't think much about it, she just reached out and grabbed it, and then successfully became the tenth place.

In the judges' box, feeling the gazes of the others, Villette had a calm expression, but there was still a slight movement in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that Fontaine would be involved in this competition.

On this mission, he did not bring any adventurers from Fontaine, nor did he bring any combat-oriented subordinates.

He himself is the most capable fighter in the entire delegation.

However, considering that the other party is a reporter from Steambird Newspaper, it is normal for him to appear here.

Of course, feeling the gazes from all around, Villette knew that everyone was waiting for him to introduce the Fontaine player.

"This Miss Charlotte is a reporter for the famous Fontaine newspaper, the Steambird Newspaper. She is also a very famous reporter in Fontaine and has reported on many major events. Previously, Miss Charlotte followed and reported on the adventure activities held in the Xumi Desert."

After all, Villette was the Supreme Inquisitor, and his mind had a lot of information about Fontaine recorded. It only took him a few breaths to piece together an introduction.

"So there is such a connection. It seems that Miss Charlotte and Xumi are also destined to be together." Elhaisen said with a smile at the referee's seat.

Well, it’s still a standard smile.

People also talked about it, and this kind of story with a long history attracted them the most.

Presumably, it won’t be long before an image of a Fontaine reporter who likes Xumi culture will be created.

Soon,

As the information about the end of the game was sent to the contestants through the void terminal, one by one they gradually returned to the celebration platform.

Nilu, the referee, stood up, stepped forward and announced that the game was temporarily over. It would be best to leave it to someone like her who was like an ambassador.

"The first round of this celebration competition has officially ended. The results will continue to be displayed on the scoreboard. You can check it out. The next round of competition will be held in three days. The location is the desert. The contestants can go there on their own or take the transportation machinery prepared by the Ministry of Justice."

"Of course, the audience doesn't need to worry. Under the mighty power of the Lord of Red Sand, the second round of the competition will also be broadcast live on the high platform. The audience can continue to watch here."

"Okay, finally, I declare that the first round of competition is over. Everyone can go back to rest or enjoy the celebration."

After Nero announced the end,

The contestants gradually left and the crowd gradually dispersed.

The referees and judges were received at the reception desk of the House of Ordinances.

Since they have been sitting here for most of the day, they should be given something in return. At least treating them to dinner is not too much.

Even if Elhaisen didn't want to work overtime and wanted to leave, he couldn't just leave and could only stay with the envoys until the end of the dinner.

……

after dinner,

That Villette returned to the embassy,

In the embassy, ​​Charlotte was already waiting.

Originally, Charlotte's visit to Xumi had nothing to do with Villette.

But since the reporter was lucky enough to get a rank, then Villette naturally had to find out more.

Today's day's competition, introduction and commentary.

That Villette had already figured out that, except for him, the envoy who came here with ulterior motives, the other envoys came here to promote their own countries and to learn about the country of Xumi.

"In this case, Fontaine cannot miss this opportunity." Villette thought to himself.

Soon, he saw Charlotte, who looked a little frightened.

Well, there's a little excitement mixed with the fear.

As a citizen of Fontaine, Charlotte was afraid of being summoned by the Supreme Inquisitor for no reason, especially in a foreign country.

But as a reporter, Charlotte was excited to encounter such things.

"Miss Charlotte, is it okay for me to call you that?" Villette looked at the girl in front of her.

Charlotte nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, of course, of course."

Villette smiled, he could see some worry in Charlotte's heart.

"Don't worry. The main reason we asked you to come here is to encourage you to participate in the competition. Many foreign delegations gathered in Xumi this time, but we didn't have many adventurers from Fontaine. So you can participate in the competition and get a place, which is very good."

"Hey~ Is there any reward?" When Charlotte heard that it was not a bad thing, all her worries disappeared and her boldness as a reporter returned.

"Hmm? Reward? Haha, interesting. What reward does Miss Charlotte want?" Villette didn't expect Charlotte to ask for a reward, but he was not angry. Instead, he was a little happy.

Doing things and asking for rewards is reasonable in Navilet's understanding of human beings.

Charlotte looked at Villette expectantly: "Um, can I do a column about you?"

At this time, Charlotte was very nervous.

Whatever Sumeru celebration or grand event, once it is reported back to Fontaine, can there be anything more influential than the column report of the Supreme Judge?

Charlotte answered this question internally: No.

"Oh, Miss Charlotte is really a professional. How about this, if you can achieve a good result in the next competition, then I will accept your interview."

One party proposes a reward, the other party proposes a request.

This transaction is consistent with Navilight's values.

It also fits his understanding of human groups.

"Okay, it's a deal then." Charlotte said happily.

Although I don't know what kind of good results Villette requires, but judging from the fact that I got the last place today, it's enough to be on the list.

As a transnational journalist, Charlotte believes she has some skills.

"Oh, I will certainly not break my promise." That Villette nodded slightly.

After explaining some more things, Villette let Charlotte leave.

"Fontaine also needs more international voice." Villette thought to herself.
