Chapter Twenty-Four: The Magic Contest
Before dawn, a team of guards had been dispatched from the palace to guard the entrance to the magic trial ground, and their purpose was simple, that is, to collect tickets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only one gold coin per person is eligible to enter the viewing, which is tantamount to bankruptcy for ordinary people, even as a contestant, is not eligible to enter for free.
Lin Qian rushed over when the sun rose, and he seemed to have become a small leader, followed by the maid Xiaoyi, and then there were four magicians including Clausen.
"What the hell is that girl doing?" Lin Qian couldn't help but scold, he was obviously not used to the eyes of passers-by, Elena asked him to take people to the town early in the morning, but he didn't know where to run.
The guards of the trial ground recognized Lin Qian, and when they saw him coming, they cleared the crowd at the door and cleared a way, so that Lin Qian could enter smoothly.
There was no one on the rostrum, so Lin Qian was the first to sit up. There are a total of 7 seats separated from each other, and Lin Qian chose the third from the left. The four magicians sat at the very edge of their seats, with only two empty seats in between.
William, as regent on such an important occasion, must have attended. When the number of people entering the stadium was almost full, William came in a crowd of people. The two worlds still have something in common: the high-ranking people are always the last.
With William's entry, the door to the trial ground was closed. But there are still many people looking at the door, hoping to see through the iron fence-like door.
William sat next to Lin Qian, that is, in the right position, he was proud, but today he was the main one.
"Your Highness, you can begin. A close confidant of William in the back reminded William in his ear.
"Sister...... The princess hasn't come yet. As soon as William mentioned the word sister, he thought of Princess Ante, and couldn't help but shudder.
"But the door is closed. "The cronies should have been instructed by Princess Ante, and this time the competition should try to highlight the status of the prince as much as possible.
William was already determined, so he shouted, "I announce, the game begins." ”
The commotion did not abate in the slightest, and the spectators did not seem to hear the prince's voice.
"Your Highness, your voice is too quiet. Lin Qian reminded beside him.
With thousands of people talking, the prince's voice was indeed not enough to hear.
William scratched his head in embarrassment, and turned to look at the cronie, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.
And the cronie suddenly looked straight in the direction of the palace in front of him, and his mouth was so wide open.
"Wow!" suddenly burst into a cry from the audience.
William looked back, and saw a sedan chair suddenly appear in the sky, and a maid stood in each of the four corners, walking slowly in the sky. However, if you look closely, you can still see that the four maids are silently chanting incantations, and they are four female magicians.
Who is this? The way of appearance is so shocking, it must be a person of extremely high status. Some observant people have noticed that there is one less person on the podium.
From the palace to the trial ground here, it is half a city away, and I don't know how many citizens will be blinded by flying all the way.
"This way of playing is really showy. Lin Qian thought enviously.
Directly above the trial ground, the four female magicians landed safely, and the sedan chair followed to the center of the field. Elena slowly lifted the curtain of the sedan car like a little fairy, and walked to the middle of the field with small steps.
"Let's get started!" Elena's voice wasn't loud, but her crisp voice could be heard throughout the room, as the four sorceresses used wind magic to spread her voice to every corner.
After Elena finished speaking, she set up a posture, and the four magicians behind her silently recited the incantation and sent Elena to the rostrum. Then the four of them also followed and flew up to the rostrum, lined up behind them.
Lin Qian saw it clearly: although her appearance was shocking, she still did not reveal her strength! In the eyes of outsiders, Elena only used four good magicians to achieve this effect.
A group of soldiers immediately appeared in the field and carried the sedan chair away. Several other mages silently chanted spells to activate the magic circle of the entire trial ground, and a transparent barrier immediately appeared in the field.
"William, are you up so early?" said Elena, who turned to speak to William as soon as she sat down.
"Hmm...... Oh, yes. William didn't know how to answer anymore, and he seemed to be overjoyed by his sister's demeanor.
In fact, there are not many rules in this game, that is, the ring is fought until the end, so the first one to stand up will definitely not be cheap. But for the sake of the "right hand of God", or just to show his face and be favored by the big powers, there are still quite a few people who are willing to participate in the competition.
"I'm coming," a black-robed mage slowly walked into the barrier, which did not block people, but only absorbed internal and external magical energy.
He stood on one side of the court and waited quietly for his opponent on the other side.
Another figure flew into the enchantment, apparently at least a sixth-level wind mage. The previous mage was a little worried, he was just a fire mage who had just reached the sixth level, and he basically had no chance of winning against this person.
Two wind blades flew from the opposite side, forming a scissor shape, and the fire mage hurriedly sought a gap to dodge. This is just the other party's preliminary temptation, and it is already a level 5 wind shear technique. Therefore, you can't expose your strength too early, and you should look for opportunities to win with one blow.
The fire mage looked a little embarrassed, and the sight of him rolling on the ground made the spectators in the stands laugh. The wind mage slowly landed, silently chanting the incantation, and a transparent net gradually appeared in the air.
This is the sixth-level magic wind net strangulation of the wind system, and there is basically no hope of dodging, so you can only fight hard. The fire mage gritted his teeth and summoned a wall of fire around him, firmly blocking the strangulation of the wind net.
The two sides also probably knew each other's strength this time, they were both sixth-level magicians, and now the competition was spiritual power and control of magic, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.
"It's so boring!" Elena shook her head, not in the slightest interest in this level of magic, she turned her head to see Lin Qian watching intently, her eyes lit up.
"Brother Lin, shall we play a game?" Elena completely ignored William in the middle.
"What game?"
"Guess who's going to win?"
"The one from the end. ”
"Then I guess the one from earlier. ”
The two of you said one by one, but it seemed that William was quite embarrassed in the middle.
Lin Qian saw William's embarrassment and took the initiative to speak to him: "Your Royal Highness, what do you think?"
"Uh...... I think my sister guessed right. He couldn't see the result, so he had to guess with her sister.
As soon as the words fell, the fire magician in the field suddenly raised his hand to signal surrender, he had been fighting for a long time, his spiritual power had been exhausted, and he had no capital to continue fighting.
"It's not interesting to guess that, why don't we raise the ante?" Elena suggested.
"I don't have anything. Lin Qian said helplessly.
"Don't you have more than a thousand gold coins?" Elena had already rummaged through Lin Qian's family.
Gambling money? This girl, if she gives birth to a man, she is not allowed to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, and smoke all five drugs!
"Another one comes up, I bet 100 gold coins and he will go straight down. Elena saw another person in the field and hurriedly placed a bet. It's 100 at a time, and after a few handfuls, Lin Qian can't be lost immediately.
"Then I'll bet he'll win. Lin Qian saw that she was bored, and he couldn't bear to give her heart.
"Regent, don't you have 100 gold?" Elena seduced William.
"Yes...... I didn't have it with me. William whispered. As a prince, he must not have any money on him.
"I owe it first. "Elena managed to pull William into the fire pit.
Lin Qian was really speechless, a twelve-year-old girl actually managed to take a ten-year-old child under her nose.
The magicians in the other four seats on the rostrum watched the room silently, as if what was happening around them had nothing to do with them. The cronies behind the prince couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly pulled William's clothes, signaling him to pay attention to the effects, but the little guy ignored him at this time.
Not far from the rostrum, the patriarchs of the seven major families were all sitting together, and there was a lot of space around them, but only Benjamin of the Light Department was missing.
"The little princess is still playful. Mugis had been keeping his eyes closed, but he paid a little attention when he heard the sound of talking.
"When are we going to send someone up?" the anxious Andre had long wanted to open his mouth when he saw the slightly low-level fight between the two in the field.
"The little princess is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Mugis looked at the rostrum meaningfully.
"A yellow-haired girl, what are you afraid of?" Andre was visibly dissatisfied.
"Yellow-haired girl?" said Mugis smirked. Thinking of Benjamin's tired appearance last night, Mugis no longer dared to despise anyone. The Azure Continent is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and until the end, it is not a good phenomenon to easily expose your hole cards.
"Wait slowly, when there is a chance to play, I'm afraid of ....... Once again, the Water Supreme Lambert stopped in the middle of his sentence.
Calvin, the summoning archmage, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Lambert suspiciously, and then closed his eyes again.
The second battle ended just in time, and the final result was in line with Elena's guess: the later magicians were defeated not long after.
"Yay, I won. Elena shouted excitedly, like a silly girl. Then Elena seemed to remember something, and turned her head to stare at Lin Qian, this was asking for an account.
"Princess, for 100 gold? Oh, the prince is right, each person only wins 50. Lin Qian said in his heart, but seeing that William was also looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but swallow his throat and swallowed the thought suddenly.
"I didn't bring any money either, I owe it first. Faced with the eyes of the two of them who wanted to swallow themselves alive, Lin Qian had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly.
