Competition

Ria went straight to the planting area and picked up all kinds of magic plants that needed to be used. Since the proposal for the competition was made by Liya, the cost of the materials was also borne by her, and the number of magic plants she picked was very large, far more than the amount needed to grind a bottle of ink. When Darko saw so much material, he must have invested a lot of money in Leah, and before he knew it, he was much better for Leah's senses.

At the same time, Simone also took out a bunch of materials from the space ring, among which the fluctuations of the elements were not weak, under the influence of these two piles of materials, in the basement of the tree castle, which was dominated by the green element, various elemental fluctuations became lively.

Leah and Simone glanced at each other, and as if they had a tacit understanding, they started grinding the magic ink at the same time. Although this time it was a contest of inscriptionists, the grinding of ink was actually a contest between two herbalists.

Simone's speed was so fast that she skipped the weighing process, and in a very short time, she had selected the amount of each material and put it together, and under the effect of her magic, the various magic plants gradually turned into a mass of residue, and the juice of the essence part had already merged into a strand, dripping on the mineral powder below. Once the liquid and powder are fused, they quickly form a suspension, and the fluctuations in the mana are much weaker, due to the fact that the magic power is hidden in the magic ink, and the escape is weakened. This is not yet done, and the ink needs to be stirred evenly with water magic, otherwise the uneven distribution of solid particles in it will reduce the effect of copying the glyphs.

Much slower than Simone, Leah sandwiched the plants between her fingers, then forced drops of sap out of them under the influence of green magic. But instead of draining the plant, she released a few drops of sap and replanted it in the soil under the skylight, and the sap was exposed to the sun and spread its branches and leaves again, growing thrivingly.

Seeing this, Arroyo sighed lightly, "The herbalist of the elven clan is really amazing, he doesn't need to buy demon plants every time, how much money can he save in the long run, no wonder the Life Church is so rich." ”

Simone on the side glanced at Arroyo with disgust, she had now entered the final stage of stirring and fusion, and the speed was obviously faster than Leah, but she didn't expect Arroyo to increase the momentum of others and destroy her own prestige. But immediately Simone's eyes saw the situation on Leah's side, and she was immediately stunned. Each drop of magic plant juice that Lea squeezed out was distributed in the shape of a single droplet, and they were like dancing elves under the control of Lia's water magic, and they were dipped into the mineral powder and then returned to the air, and if you looked closely, you could find that each drop of sap contained several grains of mineral powder, like the pupils in the eyeballs. Then, the drops of juice returned to Leah's palm, where they coalesced into a mass of ink. And because each drop of juice is dipped in a little powder, the ink after polymerization is evenly distributed, and the stirring step can be omitted.

With a sound, the mass of liquid controlled by Simone and Lea fell into the inkwell in front of them almost simultaneously. Simone sighed softly, such an operation was also very mentally draining for her. She turned her head to see Leah smiling at her, apparently more comfortable than her. Simone's face suddenly became a little ugly, although the two sides were tied, but she knew that she had actually lost, if she immediately grinded the second bottle of ink, Liya's speed would still be very fast, but her mental power could no longer control the ink perfectly, and it was bound to be much slower.

As they polished the ink, Darko was immersed in thought, pondering how he could rely on the glyphs he had to fight against Arroyo's copy. From the materials Simone had chosen, Darko had already recognized that Arroyo was going to copy a torn glyph, which would make the tearing effect of the snow wolf last longer, and it was also one of the most suitable glyphs to use on the snow wolf.

Darko's level of copying the glyphs is not weak, but he can't think of a better way to do it due to the limitations of the snow wolf's carrier combat method. He pondered for a long time before making a difficult decision, he was going to use the defensive glyph. This kind of glyph can have the effect of increasing the snow wolf's defense, but it does not have the effect of attacking, so Darko also needs to copy a glyph responsible for output, but in this case, it will be necessary to lay two glyphs on the snow wolf's not spacious body appearance, and the restriction on the copying area is much greater. And to transcribe two glyphs in half an hour, with Darko's technique, although barely able to complete, but only if it does not fail, otherwise he will not have time to rework.

Taking the magic ink that Leah had grinded, Darko took out the source liquid and dripped a few drops into it. Seeing Daktro's bottle of blue-gray liquid, several people looked at it curiously, according to common sense, the prepared ink should not be added to other things, which will only reduce the effect of the ink.

"Darko, what are you dripping?" asked Phyllis, asking the crowd's doubts.

Darko handed the flask to Phyllis, "This is the source liquid, I stumbled upon it on the Mercury plane. ”

Hearing Darko's words, everyone was immediately stunned. Compared with Darko, Arroyo and the others know more about the preciousness of the source liquid, which is the liquid formed by the origin of the plane, although it has not yet reached the level of price and no market on the market, but it is also expensive, and only extremely high-grade and important glyphs will use the source liquid, but they did not expect Dakko to use it in this competition.

When Leah grinds the ink, she has added materials that can fit the skin of the snow wolf, but the fit is still not 100%, if you add the source solution to the ink, you can greatly increase the success rate of his copying glyphs, at least not because of the fit. This competition is related to Phyllis's face, and of course Darko can't afford to lose, so he made up his mind to prepare to use the source liquid.

"It's really generous to use the source liquid. Arroyo gave Darko a thumbs up and smiled and pulled out his magic pen, "But we're looking at the final outcome of the battle, and that outcome can't be easily changed by a few drops of source liquid. Arroyo said, and used his magic pen to absorb a full tube of ink, and this time he sucked up a third of the ink in the bottle.

"You think Darko used the source liquid, so you have a reason to lose, right?" Phyllis snorted disdainfully at Arroyo.

"The effect of the source liquid can only increase the success rate, and my brother's success rate in copying small glyphs is close to 100%, so what you said is too ignorant! This kind of simple competition, my brother has never ......" Simone was scornfully retorting at Phyllis's words, but suddenly saw the set of magic pens that the other party had taken out, "Ah! this is ...... Apoptotic clouds!"

"What?" Arroyo didn't care about what he was doing, and hurriedly turned his head to look at it, and then said in a trembling voice, "Sure enough, it's Apoptotic Cloud Silence! I didn't expect that the eleventh of the top ten famous pens is actually in your hand! You must have spent a lot of money for this set of pens." ”

"I was lucky enough to come across this set of pens. However, because it was on the Mercury plane at the time, it only used a little force and didn't spend any money. Dakko took out seven pens one by one, each of which only sucked up half a tube of ink, and placed it beside him.

Listening to Darko's words, everyone was speechless for a while, envy, jealousy and hatred. Only Phyllis clapped her hand and said, "Darko, that's good! I forgot to teach you how to rob, I didn't expect you to be self-taught." ”

Leah opened her mouth to look at Darko and then at Phyllis before shaking her head silently. Seeing the source liquid and the apoptosis cloud silence successively, let her know that Daktronics' copying level must not be bad, so her mentality gradually calmed down, and the purpose of watching this competition changed from testing Daktronics' level to appreciating the copying skills of both sides. If a person is willing to spend his heart and soul to find the source liquid and snatch the famous pen, it means that he has put a lot of effort into this auxiliary profession, and in this case, his level will not be bad. Attitude is everything, that's Leah's credo. Although she proposed the competition, now she has made up her mind that no matter whether Dakko wins or loses, she will accept him as the team's inscriptionist.

Arroyo's eyes narrowed when he saw Darko's pen. Simone was shocked when she saw Arroyo's reaction, this is the expression that Arroyo only appears when he meets his opponent, which means that he has to give his best to work or fight! Only a few people know Arroyo's strength when he goes all out, and Simone is one of them. She blushed a little, excited about Arroyo's upcoming performance.

As the countdown sound sounded on the magic clock, Arroyo moved. He directly clicked on the snow wolf's front paws for the first time, which is the key part of the snow wolf's attack power, and also the output end of the glyph. However, due to the small epidermal area of the forepaw position, it is also difficult to start writing from here, and it requires an excellent overall view in the later stage to perfectly connect with the main body of the glyph on the wolf's body. As long as one of the circuits on the wolf's leg has a problem, it will affect the glyph. Arroyo writes on the snow wolf's front paws, showing his strong self-confidence.

As the position of the scribe changes, Ria will also drive the vine to change the position of the snow wolf at the end of each loop, so that both inscriptionists can always face the part they are copying. Arroyo's movements are not very fast, but they are very precise and elegant, and it seems that the glyphs copied in such movements must be the most perfect. The crimson lines of the ink stretched like overflowing magma on the snow wolf's forelimbs. From the front paws to the legs to the body, it gradually covers the entire front half of the snow wolf's body like an abstract painting. The dark red extension of the two front paws joined the periphery of the chest and abdomen, forming a complete outer magic ring, and it was only at this point that the first tube of ink was about to be drained.

Arroyo re-absorbed the gap between the ink, turned his head and glanced at the glyph that Darko was copying, unlike him, Darko's output position was at the mouth of the snow wolf, and the half-formed glyph could not fully control the mana output, and the magic power that escaped was very messy, and being able to make the mana escape meant that the glyph was almost complete. Arroyo looked at the magic clock beside him, the time had just passed a quarter of an hour, and he smiled slightly, Darko was faster than him, but he was in too much of a hurry. In fifteen minutes, Darko had completed the transcription of the glyphs, and if he was fast, he would have been flawed, but Arroyo had calculated the time accurately, and had completed half the progress in half the time, and the details were bound to be better than Darko's, and the odds of victory were accumulated by this little detail. Arroyo was even more relaxed, and continued to copy the second half of the text, and his relaxed state of mind made his articulation of many key circuits achieve better results than usual practice.

The dark red lines are connected in the wolf's belly to form the center of the array, and although the glyphs are not completely symmetrical, they are more beautiful than symmetry. When Arroyo put pen to paper, the five inscriptions intersected in the inner ring, and the self-examination was quickly completed. Looking up at the 28-minute time of the magic clock, Arroyo laughed, satisfied with his time allocation.

Every time he completed a new glyph, the dark red glow made him feel like it was an extension of his body, and he felt like he was connected by blood. Not to mention the completion of this one glyph, which allowed him to defeat Phyllis's Lich Inscriptionist in this competition, although it was not a real Alchemy Grand Prix, but he believed that it was each such small victory that strengthened his inner self-confidence, and then won the greater challenge, and finally won the Grand Prix, reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Although Arroyo is very concerned about the final result, he is never in a hurry, but he is step-by-step to achieve victory and self-confidence, which is his greatest strength - he himself thinks so. When Arroyo confidently turned his head to look at Darko, he found that Darko was still copying.

"Wasn't it almost finished just now?Why hasn't it been finished yet?Did you fail the first time and re-copy it?" Arroyo's mind was the first to think of this, but instead of feeling happy, he felt a sense of loss. Under the constraints of time, the first failure will inevitably affect the state of mind when copying the second time. The incompetence of his opponent made the excellent glyph he copied not reflect the value it deserved, and his snow wolf won easily, which was simply a victory.

But when Arroyo saw the glyph on the snow wolf's body, he was immediately stunned.
