The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Arrogant! Look down on the world!

What a powerful breath! What a domineering tone!

Mr3... No, Galdino is truly a man who can follow the 'Clown King' Bucky and serve as his deputy! !

After a brief moment of exclamation, Kira's face returned to calm, and then he excitedly led Gray and Mr3 to the competition location, and called Erza and others to sit nearby.

"Why did Kira look so surprised just now?"

"I don't know, maybe I just suddenly wanted to act..."

Amid waves of discussion, the sculpture competition began.

"Listen up, there are seven questions in this duel, that is, seven rounds. The two of you have to create wax figures and ice sculptures that correspond to the questions. After each sculpture is completed, there will be a total of ten from here. The three judges will score accordingly.”

"Although 12 of the thirteen judges are from us, as the host, I can be very responsible to assure the two contestants that this competition is absolutely fair and impartial, and there will be no malpractice or bribery of the judges. Something like that happens!”

"The rules of the competition are as follows: the first four questions are worth 10 points and the time is 5 minutes. The last three questions are worth 20 points and the time is 10 minutes. A total of 100 points. 50 minutes. The score obtained by each question is determined by the thirteen judges. The average of the scores is given, and the one with the highest final score wins.”

The rules of the competition are still very simple. Whether it is Gray and Mr3 as contestants, or Erza and others as judges, they can understand it immediately.

"So what's the reward for winning?" Gray asked, raising his hand.

“Good question!!”

Kira shouted loudly, then reached into his pocket and took out a 50×30×10cm photo album with a very exquisite exterior and dazzling golden light. “The prize is this, it contains thirty-six artistic styles, a total of Close-up shots of one hundred and twenty-eight artistic statues!!”

All the magicians looked shocked: "Nani!!"

Mr3 was confused: "Nani??"

Miss Golden Week calmly took a bite of senbei and drank a sip of hot tea.

"No, are you sure you want to take out this useless thing?" Erza and the others were stunned, looking at the exquisite photo album in Kira's hand speechlessly.

Kira raised her head arrogantly and snorted: "What expressions are you looking at? A bunch of ignorant and unartistic guys! This is a collection that took me three years and a lot of money to build!" !”

"As long as a sculptor can learn three of the essence of these sculptures with their own artistic styles, it will be enough to join the ranks of the top sculptors in the world!"

As he said that, Kira couldn't help but gently touch the exquisite cover of the thick photo album in his hand, "The most important thing is that there is also an image in it, which is from the sculpture competition held by Ishgar three years ago. Live instruction videos of engravers from all over the world. I tell you, this video alone is worth at least 30 million J!"

"Nani?!"

The magicians were instantly moved, and they all exclaimed, and even stood up directly from the table, "Real or fake?! One image is worth 30 million J?!"

What is the concept of 30 million J? The total remuneration of at least four or five S-level commissions, or the bonus of a Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Championship. For the magicians of Erza's team, it takes about nearly a year. If you want to save this amount of salary income, you will need to at least double the time.

Not to mention, Macao and Wakaba, who are not S-class wizards and are not led by S-class wizards, may need ten years or more to save 30 million J.

However, if this amount of money is converted into the world of One Piece, it is not enough - 30 million beli... which is the amount of the bounty Luffy received when he completed the East China Sea dungeon.

So at this time, Mr3 had no disturbance in his heart, and his face was as calm as water. Looking at Kira, his eyes gradually became uncomfortable, and he kept complaining in his heart: Where did these guys come from? Could it be that they were all country bumpkins before? Have you never seen big money?

"Hey! What's that look in your eyes?!"

Before Mr3 could finish complaining in his heart, Kira had already turned his face in front of Mr3 and asked with a bad look in his eyes, "Why did I feel that something was wrong with your eyes just now? Are you scolding me in your mind?!!"

"No...no! Absolutely not!!" Mr3 panicked instantly, broke into a cold sweat, and his legs were sore. If Kira hadn't grabbed the '3' on his head, he would have collapsed on the ground at this moment.

But this kind of quibble is useless to Kira, because he has a better way to interrogate: "You said no, then there is no? Eric, does he have it?"

Eric's voice came from behind: "Yes! He said you are a country bumpkin, a country dog ​​who has never seen big money, a self-righteous idiot, a greedy and lustful bastard, an arrogant and vicious pirate, a moth on the sea, and a smelly rich man. , the dirty world nobles, and..."

"That's enough!" Kira yelled, directly hitting Eric's voice.

"Huh?! But I haven't...finished yet..."

At this time, Mr3 was stunned, his eyes widened, like a poor little man who couldn't figure out the situation. He looked at Eric sitting in the judges' seat in disbelief, with a still unfinished expression and a pity on his face. I was confused for a while, wondering why the other party was cheating me so much.

But when he saw Kira getting closer and closer with clenched fists, even if nothing happened, he knew what he might face next, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Don't... don't listen to that person's nonsense! You Calm down, I didn’t say those words at all!!”

"You still dare to quibble?!" Kira was immediately furious. He picked up Mr3's '3' Zixing hair and slapped him hard on the face several times. "You guy, how dare you look down on me?!"

The moment the slap fell, Mr3 had only one thought in his mind: Damn it! ! After all, I still didn’t escape this beating...

Bang bang bang...

Ten minutes later, a bruised and swollen Mr3 stood next to Gray again, ready to start completing the questions given by Kira.

"That's great. The first question is 'The Great Voyage'!"

After Kira finished speaking, he took out a timer and pressed it. Without looking at the actions of the two of them, he turned around and walked to the judges' table, eating breakfast with everyone, and chatting with each other.

"Erza, the sandwich this morning was good, let's keep up the good work tomorrow!"

"Natsu, your performance just now has made our magicians look bad! As the captain, I must give you a reward. Well... when I get back, I will tie up the person with the ability to burn the fruit and let you suck him hard." Like? Don't worry, he's not a woman! Don't worry about Lucy being jealous..."

"Lucy, what are you writing? A different world adventure diary... Hey, aren't you? You are actually writing a diary?? You let me down so much! I didn't expect you to be such an irregular person!"

"Urutiya, do you still need to put on makeup at this time? Let me tell you, no matter how good the makeup is, you can't reapply it with a good night's sleep... What?! You ask who woke you up early this morning? ? How do I know? It’s definitely not me anyway!!”

"Eric, don't eat! Come on, come on, I have a few sweet words to say to you...get over here!!"

If someone asks, what can you do with five minutes?

Eric's answer was that he could soak the originally delicious Cup Noodles, or he could let Kira beat him from a handsome boy to a bloated face.

The first question is about the great voyage, which is undoubtedly more beneficial to Mr3, a local.

During the stage of displaying his works, he showed the judges numerous wax figures of ships sailing on the sea. The water was turbulent and hundreds of boats competed with each other, which vividly displayed the flavor of the "Great Navigation". On the contrary, Gray's ice sculptures were much inferior. He only built one sea-going ship, which was based on the ship of Crick. Although the details were exquisite enough, the words "Great Navigation" were not displayed.

So in the first game, Mr3's wax figure got 7.7 points, a good score, but Gray only got 3.5 points. If it weren't for the reputation of the same guild, Erza and others would even lower Gray's score to 3 points below.

"The title of the second game is, Navy!!"

navy?

Mr.3 narrowed his eyes and immediately felt confident. He has stayed in Baroque Studio for so many years and has dealt with the navy more than once. He basically knows what those navy are like.

But Gray was miserable. He had never seen a few marines until now. All his information about this came from Kira's intelligence and newspapers. Moreover, out of the stereotype of 'justice', in his eyes The navy is the kind of people who are like the Senate. The result is as expected. In the end, Gray created a faceless man wearing a cape that said "Justice", a navy uniform, and a military cap.

Mr3 is completely different. His works are much richer than Gray's. There are a total of three people in it, one is a ferocious pirate, one is a civilian who is harmed by pirates, and finally the navy protects civilians.

The navy is unremarkable, without uniforms, hats, or capes, but its actions are consistent with the concept of the "navy". The entire work seems to have separated from the individual and risen to the level of a concept.

This surprised the judges present, including Kira. He didn't expect that Mr.3 was so talented in creation and could make ordinary naval statues to this extent. With this kind of longing, I don't know how much more. How much stronger are colonels and brigadiers!

No wonder he can become the deputy of the Clown Emperor, as expected, he has such a great reputation!

In this game, Mr3's score reached 8.8 points, while Gray only had 6.5. There is still a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.

"The third round, the topic is 'Technology'!!"

Why is this?

When Kira chose the topic, everyone was stunned.

Originally, they thought Kira was from the 'Great Navigation' and the 'Navy', so they thought the next question would be 'Pirates', 'Revolutionary Army' or simply 'Sorcerer', but who knew it would come up? This happened.

However, he was surprised and the game continued.

Five minutes later, the two completed the statue, but this time the result was different from before:

Although Mr3 is a secret agent, he has been performing missions in the first half of the Grand Line and back and forth across the world, and his knowledge is not extensive, so in the end he only made a simple musket; while Gray had some skills when he was in Aslant. After a rich cultural influence, he had a deeper understanding of this aspect and directly created an ice mecha. Although it has its own style, its technological style is completely different from the ordinary muskets of Mr3.

Then the two ended the game with 9.0 and 4.7 respectively.

From this game on, Gray's score gradually came back. Although it was occasionally inferior to Mr3, the final scores of the two continued to get closer.

The judges did not engage in favoritism as Kira said. They used their sharp eyes and fair judgment to score these two people.

"For the last question, 'Love,' Gray's average score is 18, and Gardino's average score is 3!"

Some of the judges who finally finished their scoring breathed a sigh of relief, fell back on their chairs, and communicated loudly at the same time.

"That uncle is so pitiful! He actually completed the last question like that..."

"That's right, I heard that he is already 35 years old..."

"Yeah, I'm 35 years old!!"

"But his scores in front are very high, so he should be able to win the sculpture album, right? Come on, come on, calculate their scores!"

Mr3: "..."

Could you guys, you brats, stop saying a few words? ! I never wanted to participate in this bullshit sculpture competition from the beginning, okay? ! And the score for this kind of question already makes me very unhappy! ! Besides, I don’t like those sculpture albums at all, okay? ! Finally, can you please stop using my age as an excuse? ! ! Don’t you know that this is a deep harm to an older single young man? ! !

Even though he was roaring crazily in his heart, Mr3 did not dare to say it out loud in the end. After all, the situation was stronger than the people. He did not dare to be disrespectful to these 'magicians', otherwise, by then, even Miss Golden Week would not be able to do it. Help yourself…

"Then the final scores of the two contestants in this game are: Gray 75 points and Gardino 76 points!"

"Let us congratulate Galdino for winning the title of No. 1 sculptor!!"

"Who wants that kind of name, you idiot!!"

"Nani?!!"

Kira was shocked, then seemed to think of something, and finally realized it. With great reluctance, he took out the sculpture photo album that he had just agreed to give as a prize from his portable space. His eyes showed deep nostalgia, and he said in a lonely tone: "I know. This is what you want, right? Really, you are such a anxious guy..."

"I don't want that kind of damn thing either!!!"
