Chapter 1827 Vicious Rumors

"Guno admired Vulgen very much and cherished his talent. He married his only daughter, Princess Turandot, to Vulgen, who was not from the direct line of the Copper Horn tribe and had an ordinary family background. Warhammer's magic weapon, train your son-in-law as your successor."

"The Great Chief Gouno has no son, so it's understandable to cultivate a son-in-law to inherit his career, but it has also attracted a lot of... well, weird rumors." Evelyn hesitated to speak.

"What rumor?" Joan asked subconsciously.

Evelyn hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Cosette: "Why don't you tell Dr. Vader?"

Cosette shook her head hastily, her cheeks flushed, and she looked embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Qiao An felt even more baffled.

Evelyn shrugged helplessly and spread her hands: "All of you are pretending to be ladies, well, anyway, I have a thick skin, let me tell you! Some time ago, there was a rumor from nowhere that Vulcan and Turandot The princess's marriage is in name only, but in fact the two are not a real couple..."

"Oh! And then?"

Joan became interested, and quickly imagined several possibilities involving family ethics, but the rumors were still beyond his imagination.

"It is rumored that Vulgen is not interested in female cows, and his nominal wife, Princess Turandot, already knew this well, but she still obeyed her father's will and married Vulgen. In fact, it was to cover up her husband and father's Unlucky love, I would rather sacrifice my lifelong happiness than maintain the reputation of these two men..."

"Ah?!" Joan was almost confused, "Evelyn, you must be joking! Son-in-law and father-in-law, how could two men have a so-called 'unrequited love'!"

"sure!!"

The three women refuted in unison, which surprised Qiao An.

It's okay for Evelyn to say so, even Cosette and Patty, who are introverted and shy, have affirmed the existence of this possibility, which really makes him a little confused, unable to understand how they would feel at ease. Unbelievable and outrageous rumors are taken as the truth, and even the words show a strong tendency of "it should be so". What is going on?

Joan suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask too much about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't find an insurmountable conceptual gap between himself and the girls in Huayuan Township.

"Sorry, do you have any basis for making such a judgment?" Qiao An couldn't help but say something more.

"There is no real evidence, I just think this rumor is very interesting." Evelyn put away her smile and analyzed seriously, "Actually, these rumors are more likely to be rumors fabricated by villains to pour dirty water on Gounod and Vulgen. , it is not good for the parties to refute publicly, otherwise it will inevitably leave people with a darker and darker impression."

"Considering the rapid growth of the Copper Horn Tribe in recent years, if this is really a rumor, the fabricator is probably an enemy or potential competitor of the Copper Horn Tribe," Joan said thoughtfully.

"Dr. Vader, rumors are actually a kind of literary creation, which can more or less reflect the style of rumormongers. Gouno has many political enemies in the tauren society, but the tauren who are naturally rude and upright can't make up such vicious rumors. More like... well, drow style."

Evelyn glanced at Claudia intentionally or unintentionally.

Qiao An nodded understandingly.

When it comes to viciousness and slander, the dark elves claim to be the second in the world, and no one dares to say that they are the number one. The sensational gossip of "the infidelity between the husband and the son-in-law" really seems to be the drow's style of spreading rumors.

At this time, Chief Gouno coughed heavily, and the people in the square stopped talking cooperatively, and turned to look at the host of this survival competition.

Chief Gouno looked around the square, confirmed that the contestants had arrived on time, nodded with satisfaction, and then introduced the nine teams participating in this survival competition with a loud voice, including the Rock Essence Camp, Garden Township, the Temple of Silence, and the Abyss Snake Cave , Glastor, Blimir, Oaknir, and representatives of the orc and troglodyte tribes from the Dark Mountains.

Joan and his party were the first to arrive at the assembly point. He had inquired about the teams introduced by Chief Gouno in advance, so he silently listened to the whispered discussions of the surrounding crowd.

By comparing everyone's evaluations of the participating teams, Qiao An found that not all teams came to participate in the survival competition with the confidence to compete for the championship. Successfully complete the schedule, and the ranking is not enough to be at the bottom.

If you exclude your own team and objectively evaluate the competitiveness of other participating teams, then most people think that the drow team led by Claudia has the greatest chance of winning again, followed by the stone giant team led by Gailrod.

Originally, "Abyss Dragon Nest" was also recognized as a favorite to win the championship. However, not long ago, civil strife broke out in Abyss Dragon Nest, and the black dragon father and son died successively.

Snake Queen Camilla usurped power and renamed the Abyss Dragon Nest "Abyss Snake Cave", claiming to restore the ancient glory of the Snake Clan. Camilla is alone, and has lost the possibility of winning the championship.

In addition, the worm master Jules from Huayuan Township and the gray dwarves from Brimir have also been recognized by other participating teams. Although there is still a clear gap in hard power compared with the dark elves and stone giants, if you are lucky enough , does not rule out the possibility of winning the championship.

As for the other participating teams, one is counted as the other, and they all belong to the category of "accompanying the prince to study". Even if they pass the test safely, they perform well, but if they unfortunately fall into the elimination zone, there is no need to complain.

After introducing the participating teams, Chief Gouno then briefly mentioned those "soft persimmons" who paid the ransom for withdrawing from the competition.

Most of the forces are really too weak. Qiao An sounds very unfamiliar, and it is estimated that they are not much stronger than the rock spirits, and they are free to participate.

But he is quite familiar with some forces, such as the mushroom people in the blood tundra, and the abandoned mines in the "Prime Ancient Abyss", who were mopped up by the rookies of Midgard University every two days, as earning internship points Goblins and kobold gangs in the "little coffers".

The Sudri Stone City, the Jotunheim Mining Area of ​​Fizhen and the Midgard Mining Area of ​​the Empire also chose to pay the ransom. It's not bad money, and the style of decision-making is relatively conservative. They don't think it's worth risking their lives for the ransom of 3 pounds of magic crystals, and they would rather spend a small amount of money to buy peace.
