Chapter 1670 Stone Pillar
When Kong Zhiying's actions were still full of doubts in the eyes of others, new words appeared on the light screen again.
"No. 99 in the Rising Star Competition, Galaxy Wandering."
After this row of writing appeared, just like the situation with the Shadow of the Sky, ripples appeared in the center of the light screen, and a new card emerged from the light screen. Blown by the noisy wind, the last card fell on a man wearing a starry sky robe.
People around him whispered and soon figured out the man's identity.
It is the true self of Galaxy Wanderer.
After he got the card, he was stunned for a while, and finally, without waiting for what others thought, he rushed out of the square and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Seeing this scene, doubts arose in everyone's hearts——
Could it be that the function of that card is actually a prop that opens the boundary of the square and finally guides people to the top of the mountain?
Because neither Shadow of the Sky nor Wandering Galaxy told the truth, everyone could only guess silently in their hearts.
Nausicaa was also thinking and speculating, but soon, she no longer had these worries. Because, a row of words appeared on the light screen again.
"No. 98 in Rising Star Competition, King of BlackBerry!"
Blackberry means blackberry sea. The Blackberry King is the king who conquered the Blackberry Sea.
The only person present who would take this name and be qualified to be called the King of Blackberries is the great pirate who once roamed the Blackberry Sea—Nausicaa!
Just like before, a new card appeared in the light screen. The last card swayed and was blown down by the wind, drifting towards Nausicaa.
Before actually getting the card, Nausicaa had many guesses and imaginations, but when the card fell into her hands, she realized that the answer was actually very simple.
The card was very thin and had a strange symbol on it. Next to the symbol, Nausicaa's name was written.
Obviously, this card was not blown away randomly by the wind, but was locked on Nausicaa from the beginning.
When Nausicaa held this card, a strange feeling rose from deep inside her heart.
It was as if there was someone in the distance calling to her: "Come to me."
That call is soft and soothing, with a sense of "fate" and "guidance." Nausicaa raised her head and looked at where the feeling came from.
It is the same road that Sora Shadow and Galaxy Wanderer took before.
Nausicaa hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow the call and walk forward.
When Nausicaa made this decision and responded to the call in her heart with action, a sense of excitement arose spontaneously. This excitement made her unable to help but speed up until she broke through the boundaries of the square and flew towards the mountain!
Not only Nausicaa, but also cards on the light screen kept appearing. Almost every two seconds, a card falls.
Under the gentle cold wind, these cards seemed to be careless, but in the end they all fell into the hands of the true owners of the cards.
After the players got the cards, everyone walked out of the square like Nausicaa, following the guidance in their hearts.
For a time, the road leading directly to the top of the mountain was filled with people one after another.
Nausicaä was among the first to climb the mountain. At first she thought the final place would be the top of the mountain. However, when she followed the guidance in her heart and came to the promised land that had been calling her, she discovered that it was not a palace on the top of the mountain, but——
On a tall stone pillar beside the road.
These round stone pillars are scattered everywhere on this road, extending to the top of the mountain. Nausicaa is standing under one of the stone pillars.
"Are you going to climb the stone pillar?" Nausicaa hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the others.
People were already standing on the two stone pillars near her, it was Sora Shadow and Xinghe Wandering. One stood on the top of the stone pillar and looked at the palace in the distance, while the other sat cross-legged on the stone pillar, seeming to be thinking about something silently.
They made no other moves. Obviously, the top of the stone pillar may be their final destination in this Rising Stars game.
Nausicaa looked along this road, and there were stone pillars standing on the side of the road at regular intervals. She silently estimated in her mind that there were probably close to a hundred stone pillars from here to the palace on the mountain. This number corresponded to the contestants of the Rising Star Competition.
In other words, there is actually a person standing on every stone pillar here? The higher the ranking, the closer to the palace at the front?
Nausicaa felt that this might be the answer.
She sighed slightly in her heart. She was only 98, so she was at the bottom. If I could have won a few more games at that time, maybe I would have been further ahead... What a pity.
Nausicaa shook her head, followed the call in her heart, and climbed up the stone pillar.
After standing on the stone pillar, the sense of guidance disappeared.
Nausicaa tried it, wanting to leave the stone pillar and move forward, but found that leaving the stone pillar was no problem, but when she moved forward, a great pressure covered herself, making her have to Return.
Sure enough, as she guessed, this stone pillar was her final destination in this Rising Stars Competition.
More and more people came behind, and these people were not stupid. When they were guided to the stone pillar, they all guessed the ending like Nausicaa.
After finding the stone pillar where they were, each contestant stayed on it. Perhaps some people would be jealous of the ownership of the stone pillars closer to the top of the mountain, but no matter how jealous they were, they also knew that the other party was ranked higher than themselves, which was earned by themselves in the Rising Star Competition, and they were probably well-deserved.
This behavior of dividing people into different levels according to their rankings would make people feel a little uncomfortable at first, but in the end everyone still accepted this setting.
The wizarding world is not a utopia that calls for equality for all. Even if it is a utopia, it is impossible to really achieve classlessness.
In a world where strength is respected, such grading is too normal.
Nausicaa was at the bottom, and except for a slight sigh at the beginning, she quickly accepted it. She has only been in the wizarding world for a few years, and it is good to be able to stand here. You know, many people who have practiced for decades may not be able to enter the top 100 of the Rising Star Competition. This time her goal has been achieved, which is enough.
When Nausicaa thought about this, the figure of Angel would inevitably appear in her mind.
"Ingres, the monster, is not included." Nausicaa shook her head without hesitation, and threw Ingres' figure out of her mind.
When the stone pillars extending to the top of the mountain were almost full of people of all kinds, everyone realized that there were only 90 stone pillars in total.
In other words, there were still ten people who had not climbed the stone pillars.
Seeing this scene, everyone turned their attention back to the square.
Sure enough, there were still ten people in the square, and they did not make any moves. And these ten people were the top ten of the Rising Star Competition, led by Onassis!
