"Why did you only let me participate in the first-year competition, and could the difference in strength be too great?" the Pope's seventh apprentice stood in the large room of Tavasis with a respectful expression.

Tavasis smiled, stirred the drink called white millet tea in his hand and said, "Under the Great Wizard, there is no difference in strength. And you think the Pope really called you here to participate in this kind of boring competition?"

The young man looked up, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly appeared.

"The Pope has asked me to train you. ”

"Well," Tavasis nodded approvingly, looking at the boy, "the young man is very intelligent, no wonder he can be his best disciple." But...... And that's not all. ”

"Please make it clear to the saints. ”

"The first is of course very simple, in order to provide you with a suitable and appropriate reason to enter the new tower courtyard, and second, to let you live in the warm hinterland of the empire for a longer time, and learn more about the etiquette, culture and traditions here. Whether it is the imperial capital or the west, the South China Sea, where the living environment is relatively harsh, is still different, the people here are used to being comfortable, and the behavior of the world will be different from your habits, if you don't adapt to certain situations, there may be a lot of incidents - and people with special identities can't cause trouble. Tavasis looked kind, but there was a hint of reference in his deep gaze.

"I understand that I won't be playing like that in the future. "The teenager promised.

But Tavasis shook his head unexpectedly, "It's okay, fighting is all about giving it your all." You children are playing, and the tower is sure that nothing will happen. That's not what I mean. ”

"That's ......"

Tavasis took a sip of the sweet tea, and instead of answering his question directly, he asked, "What is the most important thing in your heart?"

"It's faith, my lord. ”

"And what do you believe?"

The young man was a little dumbfounded for a while, feeling that the answer was simple and distinct, but he felt that the words of the tower master should have a deep meaning, so he fell into thought.

"Don't be afraid, child, that's the most common answer. Tabasis smiled and relieved.

"Believe in my gods. ”

Tavasis raised his eyebrows, and his forehead was like a stack of mountains.

"That's the problem," he said, "and at some point, I hope you don't stick too closely to the rules of the city, at least - when dealing with certain people, I want you to learn to give in." ”

"If you are referring to the royal family, then please be relieved, for our canon says that all living beings are treated equally. ”

"But the ocean can also be furious. With your status, the poor will naturally be extremely ashamed of themselves when they see you, and they will always give in to their negotiations with you. But the aristocracy is not. I admit that there are indeed some young people who do not know the height of the sky and the earth and rely on their own blood to do mischief and squander the glory of their ancestors. They hate it, and I know you're at the age of your flesh. But I hope that if you are contaminated with these unpleasant situations by chance, you will still exercise restraint and not unnecessarily influence the Pope, your Master. Tavasis looked kind, and patiently admonished the young man in front of him.

"Then do I have to swallow my anger? ”

Tavasis shook his head, "You can tell your commander, even me, but don't do it yourself. Most of the arrogant people have their backs to the solid but vain walls of the Buddha, so it is necessary to find the right person to crush their illusions. ”

The boy thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"I'll try to get used to it, Lord Tower. ”

"Very good, I'm sure you can adapt. Tavasis nodded, "One last thing, give me back that soul fragment, I don't want you to take him around the ring." ”

"Give it back to you...... Is it a cherub? Will he come to the big competition? What does he look like? What happened to his soul?"

"You're a bit too much of a problem, Mordred. You probably don't have to think so much, I'm sure you'll take every opponent seriously, regardless of who they are. In the future, in school, there will inevitably be people who will compare the two of you, and I hope you don't care about those words. Cultivation is a long expedition, and if you only care about temporary gains and losses, you will be eager for quick success or arrogant. Alright, now give me the soul chips, and you can go about your business. ”

Mordred took a few steps forward after saluting, placed the soul chips on the edge of the tower master's table, and then thanked Tavasis for his teachings and left.

In the outer courtyard not far away, Karna wondered why no one had come to pay her condolences to Muen for so many days.

"Isn't that a clear sign that I have a problem? Muen seemed to be lying by the window with Karna doing nothing, but in fact, he was constantly trying to control his magic, and now he was unable to control his body.

"Then you won't go over and see the tower master?" Karna was really idle, completely out of words.

Mu En didn't bother to answer him.

At this time, Karna saw Mordred from a distance returning from the direction of the inner courtyard to the contestants' unified residence.

"That's the one who grabbed the quota of the empty courtyard this time, the road is very wild, and the attack is very heavy, you must be careful when you encounter it. Karna gestured to Mordred.

"How do you know it's his?"

"Because I talk to people when I'm fine, and chatting with people is the most important source of information. ”

Mu En smiled and teased: "It's a pity that you don't go undercover in Linguo, it's a waste of talent." ”

"Low-key, low-key. ”

Mordred looked up at Muen with a puzzled expression.

Muen frowned, calming the surging magic and turning to look at Karna.

"He's strong. Mu En said in a condensed voice.

Karna smiled unchanged, made an apologetic gesture to the boy, and left the window.

"He can actually sense your magic fluctuations downstairs. Karna had a ghostly expression on his face, after all, Muen's magic surge was very low-key, and a magician of their level would basically not be able to detect it when he left this room.

"He's a master, what is his identity?" Mu En sat on the bed, caught off guard by this sudden and powerful enemy.

"I don't know, it's like a mysterious person born out of nowhere. ”

"Impossible, such a master must have a teacher. I know...... It should be the apostle of the Pope. You said earlier that the Pope's seventh master and apprentice are likely to enter the new tower to study, and now it seems to be true. ”

"But if he can go directly to the new tower courtyard, shouldn't he go to the second-year big competition? what's the matter with bullying us?" Karna scratched his head, planning to go to the altar to worship the god of the sea and his old man, and he ran into this guy in the first round and was taken away cleanly.

"Don't be so unconfident, you're the No. 2 seed player in the Thunder Academy, the inventor of the kidney hook kick crotch, what are you afraid of. Mu En said as she made that funny gesture.

Karna sighed, "He has such a strong sense of magic that he can directly ignite my circuit, how can there be room for confrontation." ”

"I've never heard of anyone who can ignite someone who doesn't have any magic in the circuit. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just stab him. ”

"What a good idea!"

Both of them knew that the other was joking, so they were happy to follow each other's nonsense. Anyway, trash talk casually, don't die if you don't go to the battlefield.

It stands to reason that the top sixty-four would not be too weak, but because of the vanity of the teenagers, many students from the top academies seemed to scoff at the efforts of those who were slightly less talented than them.

This also caused a lot of disputes and conflicts in just a few days of preparation.

In the end, the students of the ordinary high colleges were all very hostile to the arrogant people of these top colleges.

Mu En sat on the rockery in the garden and looked at the starry sky, enjoying the last quiet night before the game. Behind him, Mordred didn't know when he came.

"My name is Mordred, I'm sixteen years old, what's your name?" he said after standing for an unknown amount of time.

Mu En was a little surprised, he didn't notice the arrival of the apostle at all, and he had been drowsy admiring the moonlight.

"My name is Mu En, and you are the boy who snatched the place in the empty courtyard. They all said you are very strong, I didn't expect you to come to me, is there anything wrong?"

Mordred thought for a moment and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's nothing, it's just that you make me feel familiar inexplicably, have we met before?"

Muen shook her head, "I don't remember where we ever met. ”

"Yes......" Mordred nodded, "I wish you a good race, your aura is strong, but it seems to be a little unstable, as long as you can overcome it, you will definitely be able to get a good place." ”

"Lend you good words. Mu En greeted him, then jumped off the rockery and walked towards the dormitory.

The next day, all the students came to the martial arts arena of the tower courtyard, and the important ministers in charge of the Ministry of Magic came to preside over the opening ceremony, symbolizing that these battles were righteous and symbolic of the royal family's favored martial arts, and symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the empire.

"Standing together at this moment, it is as if I see the future galaxy of the Empire shining brightly in the sky. This is the classic ending that inevitably occurs every year, and countless years have proved that this sentence is not true.

At this time, as long as the teenagers standing in the school field live, most of them can eventually turn into the supreme mages recorded in the Tower of Eternity, and be remembered for eternity.

After entering the round of 16, the single-round elimination system will be transformed into a best-of-three system, with little time in between, which also requires more tactical distribution for the students.

The assignment confrontation is not a direct draw, but an evaluation and matchmaking, in which students from top colleges are paired with ordinary colleges of higher learning with the same attributes.

Hearing the news, several families were happy and some were sad. Many colleges that had already formed a bond with each other before were very happy to hear this, and they wanted to be righteous and reasonable to slap each other. And the empty courtyard is more miserable, because they have no corresponding attributes, and they have to have another infighting, and the result is actually predictable.

But the worst thing this year was the extra ordinary academy student, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

It was rare for the Archbishop of Tanahoo, who had remained in Kyoto, to be present in person, and usually they would only send a bishop who was respectful enough but did not seem to be of such a high position.

The students here have never seen the world, but the teachers are not stupid, and they immediately understood what the teenager who could "forcibly grab" the empty place was.

And the tower was also very thoughtful to arrange Mordred's game in the first game, after all, the Golden Stripe Bishop is busy, and it is very interesting to be able to take time to participate in the opening ceremony of the whole field, and there is no need to deliberately delay people's time.

Mordred stood in the ring, and he looked up at the high platform, and the bishop's face did not reveal any expression, as if he really happened to be free to watch the ceremony today.

Drawing his sword, the magic began to surge in the ring, and on the opposite side of him was a mage who used the wind element, and it seemed that the two were about the same age, and the other party might be slightly older.

The Seventh Apostle took a stance, not having any of the weapons that the Tower had prepared for either side.

At this moment, a violent wind suddenly rose, blowing on his face like a plough and a knife, and not only that, but the distorted air blurred his vision, and the figure of the other party disappeared from Mordred's eyes.

Mordred closed her eyes and took a deep breath, but the strong wind didn't feel good in her mouth and nose.

In the stands, the audience could still barely see the young man who used wind magic. At this moment, he was approaching quickly with his sword, and in just an instant, he was already at Mordred's side!

But the apostle, known as the most mysterious and powerful, was unfazed, and he moved suddenly, ignoring the small wounds cut through his body by the increasingly sharp wind as the caster advanced.

Suddenly, the turbid qi was exhaled, and the magic within a radius of two meters around him was disintegrated, but he still closed his eyes, and suddenly lowered his head and threw a punch into the space diagonally above him.

The blade of the sword was dodged, and the young man who showed his form seemed to send his face to Mordred's fist.

But that's not all, such a thorough activation of magic will show your own circuit in front of the opponent in detail, and unfortunately, although Mordred is not a spiritual circuit, but among the apostles of my Abyss Pope, there is no one with low mental control.

At the moment of the collision of fists and flesh, Mordred injected his magic power into the opponent's circuit in reverse, igniting it.

Then, a huge shock separated the two, and the riot of magical power was suppressed by the referee's tower mage.

The referee in the snow robe gave Mordred a calm look, calm but also indifferent, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his heavy hand.

The Minister of Magic was a man who always smiled, and as the battle was over quickly, he turned to talk to the golden-striped archbishop who was revered as the Sultan.

"The elders rarely come to Dabi, I don't know what they think, but can they still be happy with these young people?"

The words are very skillful, neither plain, neither cold, nor lukewarm, but also seem to be welcoming and sarcastic.

Bishop Golden-veined smiled: "It's all very good, the future is promising, but the gap between geniuses is a chasm." ”

Hey, you Tower students are all rubbish!

This is what the archbishop's words translate into readable.

"I wonder when the Tower Master's apostle will come to this big competition?" asked the bishop after a few seconds of silence.

"The mind of the saint, where do I have to figure it out, even if he doesn't tell me when he comes, then I don't know at all. The Minister of Magic still chuckled.

"I heard that when you entered the tower to study, the saint taught you the magic circle science?"

"Yes, but it's been nearly a hundred years. After all, even the grandmaster had to take on the teaching work, and at that time, the saint was even hovering at the peak of the senior magister, saying that he had been taught by the saint, but in fact, he was putting gold on his face. ”

"Since he is a saint today, he must have been talented at that time. I think I was driving the Deep Sea Clan off the western coast a hundred years ago, but even the young Lord Tavasis at that time would have spoken very subtlely. ”

While the two bigwigs were talking, Mu En stepped into the ring in the second game.

"What the hell did he do, he didn't even reveal the circuit attribute after the first game. "At the table, Dan and Karna were scratching each other's heads, like two monkeys.

"What's the matter?" said Dan to Karna, shocked.

"The last one of the Seven Stars of the Poseidon. ”

"Bless me don't run into him too soon, or it will be too embarrassing. ”

Mu En shook his head as he stepped into the ring, he also felt very powerless because of the battle just now.

But in this case, the other party mistakenly thinks that he is not strong enough, so he looks a little angry.

Mu En lifted the spear and hung the sword on his left, just like the dress of the academy qualifiers.

There has been friction between the ordinary academy and the top academy recently, so the teenager on the other side of the ring also took a sip on the spot, wanting to teach this guy who looks down on people a good lesson.

can come to Dabi's ring, will there be such a huge gap between the two sides?

Except, of course, for the number one seed in each college.

When the bell rang, Mu En concocted and threw out the spear, but the other party did not hold it up as big as Caesar, and flashed the blow in the shining thunder.

But Mu En didn't care, chanted a spell, grabbed the bright silver light gun in the air and teleported, and instantly narrowed the distance.

Before the other party could react, he was rewarded with a light gun again.

But how can there be such a simple victory, the other party also recited the language of the elves, and created a thick ice barrier out of thin air in the air.

Mu En shouted angrily, and the light gun exploded in an instant with his magic power.

For a while, it was bright and prosperous, Mu En had already closed his eyes and gathered all his magic power, drew his sword, and rushed over.

It's much simpler to stick to the body, and at the moment when the opponent makes the first move, Mu En seems to have returned to the forest of Avalon, the muscle memory is triggered, and a set of interlocking combos directly sanction the opponent.

"Ah...... It's not early, I have to go back to Mass for the believers, and I can see that the gold content of Dabi is really high, and the empire has this genius, and the country is worry-free, and I will take my leave. After watching the second scene, the Sultan got up and said goodbye to the people on his left and right.

Naturally, the Minister of Magic also stood up and said some polite words to him, and the words were also thought of when he saw him.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for an elder to stay for too long, and it is undignified to leave just after watching a game, so it is appropriate to resign at this time.

The big guys seem to be obsessed with these meaningless things every day.

Maybe this is "civilization".
