Chapter 2 Magic Wizard Academy Selection Competition
・・・・・ humanity is in awe of the unknown・・・・・・
Aeoros Continent・・・Holy Empire・・・7:53 p.m., the weather is overcast and cold, and on Saturday, the humidity is 60%. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As the sunset slowly sank to the sea level, the light of the sunset gradually disappeared and faded, and the glow that was originally reflected by the sunset reflecting on the sea, which could make people's spirits become trance, gradually became eclipsed, and finally sprinkled into the ocean: only a faint dark red sadness.
Maybe it's a touch of loneliness that brings people into the night.
Suddenly, a blood-red light sprinkled on the beach, looking up, it turned out to be a round of crescent moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by blood-red clouds, the crescent moon rendered extraordinarily enchanting, as if it happened when the "total lunar eclipse", the thick atmosphere of purple, blue, green, yellow, four colors of light, all absorbed, only red light can penetrate in.
"Have you invaded the periphery of the Holy Empire? There shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?
Such a scorching and dazzling fire of war burned the sky red, without concealing their ferocious and violent aura in the slightest, and everyone in the empire could feel the fierce gaze that spread everywhere.
I'm sure that "monster" has already been unleashed by the enemy, so it seems that it is very tricky now..."
A young woman dressed in ornate royal attire and holding a compass-like object in her hand stands on the roof of the largest "Gothic" cathedral in the Empire, dedicated to the goddess of the night, "Asteria", searching for something according to the red hands on the compass.
Suddenly, as if sensing something from the compass, the man jumped up from the roof of the temple and sped away against the moon. During this period, a faint layer of golden starlight was sprinkled from the red sky, which was originally like a burning cloud, and the cathedral temple was illuminated vividly.
The night should have dimmed, but tonight, the stars failed to break through the original clear atmosphere and sprinkled their own brilliant light on the earth. On the contrary, the sky was covered with a fiery red curtain of mourning, and thousands of fiery meteorites blended with the smoke of death, like a splashed curtain, permeating the entire field.
Above the sky, like a disaster star, it was like a meteor galloping by, constantly raining meteors from space, and the friction between meteorites and the atmosphere generated a large amount of heat, which fell on the vicinity of the castle in a molten state in which solid and liquid coexisted with each other. Suddenly, a wail, a cry, infinite despair, infinite terror・・・・・・
In the year 638 of the ephemeris, the overlord in the western part of the continent of Ionos, the Grace Empire, attempted to dominate the entire continent of Ionos, and then set out to conquer the other twelve continents to unify the planet Chronos.
Therefore, the whole country of the Holy Empire, under the leadership of the goddess of the night "Asteria", fought desperately, and the two armies launched the largest battle in the history of the continent of Ioros in the plain of "Orpots", and the death toll of the armies of both armies reached millions in just a few days.
At the moment when the war was in a stalemate, the Grace Flame Empire launched the "Galaxy Explosion" plan, summoning a dragon with three pairs of wings and wrapped in "Thunder Flame" that only existed in the era of the primeval creation gods, liberated its seal, and used secret techniques to manipulate it, and carried out an unprecedented and tragic massacre of the Shengchen Empire's army, the imperial city and the imperial capital.
When the dragon spreads its wings, the sky falls; The dragon dances its claws, and the mountain collapses; When the dragon roars, the sky changes. The nobles, commoners, and troops of the imperial capital continued to die in panic and despair, so the senate mobilized all their military forces from other city-states in the imperial capital to fight to the death. However, on the battlefield, countless soldiers still fell, with severed arms and limbs, and rivers of blood.
"Until His Holiness the Pope arrives, we must resist! Don't be afraid of life and death, think about the people behind you! ”
A soldier with a bloody face still screaming at the demon dragon in the face of the flames of war.
"Definitely don't let it get close to the imperial capital again, the civilians are moving, we must buy precious time!"
The other sergeant, who was also seriously wounded, said these words directly and rushed towards the demon dragon without fear. In a moment, the sky once again burst with magnificent blood.
However, at this moment, a trace of blue thunder sounded from the sky, and a young woman dressed in a luxurious robe and wearing a red crown immediately appeared in front of the demon dragon, this person was the contemporary pope from the "Star Sanctuary".
・・・・・・ seven years later・・・・・・
In the vicinity of an ancient city with abundant water and beautiful scenery along the seashore, there is a fan-shaped crater that is said to have been formed by the landing of an extraterrestrial comet in the primeval period.
The beach, which was originally connected to the sea level, is also located here, in the form of faults, concave and convex, and where the two layers of terrain meet each other, there is a terrain difference of hundreds of meters, and the sea water takes advantage of the situation to flow down and merge into a majestic waterfall lake.
On both sides of the lake, due to the latitude, there are lush forests that are everypping all year round.
On the east side of the lake, according to historical records, the arrival of a comet caused meteorites from outside the sky to be brought to this land, so the original inhabitants of the Shengchen Empire founded a city based on the rich forest products and high gold content of the mineral resources, and named it "Comtbrais".
It means "et's---blessing".
The western part of the city is the inland area connecting the continent of Ioros, and the central entrance to the hinterland of the Holy Empire.
On the east and west sides, a suspension bridge with a diameter of about 5,000 meters and a width of about 5 meters is made of rosewood, which is abundant in the local forest.
In the two sections of the suspension bridge, which are connected like buttons, are two temples like the Yama temple, and tourists and merchants who enter the "Comtbrai" from the outside every year, as well as young people who go out from the inside to explore the empire and even the mainland, must regard this suspension bridge as a necessary way・・・・・・
Today, people still come and go on the suspension bridge, cars are like flowing water, and horses are like dragons.
Some horses, camels, carrying cloth of various colors on their backs, and refreshing tea leaves, were driven by their respective masters, leisurely across the suspension bridge, and from time to time they were animals, and they lowered their heads, stared at the beautiful waterfall lake below, and were quietly in a daze;
At this time, the owner gently pulls the horse bolt to help them wake up from the state of "distraction"; Some vendors carry eggs, vegetables and fruits on their shoulders and walk through the suspension bridges.
Mixed in with the crowd was a young man with blonde hair. The boy's blonde hair is like the rising sun after half a dark night in the polar regions: soft, warm, and full of hope.
On his back, he was supposed to be a sword, about 130 cm in length, but both the blade and the scabbard were wrapped in brown coarse cloth, and it was impossible to see the specific situation. The eyes of the teenager are like the turquoise water of the lake, containing a deep, clear beauty like a starry sky!
"Everyone, buy some fruit, bananas, grapes, apples!"
"Tomatoes from Comt Brest have plenty of sunshine and sugar!"
"The celebration is about to start, everyone hurry up and hurry up!"
Boom... Boom...
At the moment when the roar of a string of salutes just played, the young man opened his lips slightly, gently bit down on the corner of a raw tomato, and at the same time reflexively raised his head, staring at the magnificent, a hundred feet high, the color like a raging fire "triangular pyramidal temple".
The more than a dozen salutes with classical characteristics on the temple show a more solemn and enthusiastic atmosphere under the dazzling Tai Temple.
In an immensely magnificent arena temple, many people gathered to watch the games, including battle-hardened soldiers, merchants selling various goods in the bazaar, bishops and priests of various cathedrals, priests of ancient temples with a long history, and some nobles in the upper echelons of the empire who sat in special seats in the front row of the arena.
Even more dazzling, however, is an old man wearing a golden crown with a gold background at the top of the crown, and seven aquamarine pearls set on the cross, modeled after the Big Dipper.
The outside of the crown is also embedded with a ruby like a pomegranate, a sapphire that is as warm as the sea, a crystal that is as clear as diamond stardust, and the largest jade jasper in the center of the forehead, which is as cool as ice and emerald green.
At a glance, the robes he wore were the "vestments" that he was qualified to wear only by the supreme ruler and godmaster of the "Comtbreth" city-state.
Its textures, colors, patterns, fabrics, the grace and luxury of the jewels, as well as the magnificence of its delicate carvings, can no longer be described in any language in the world, only those who have come to this stage in person, immersed in the scene, and looked up, can imagine how this costume blooms in the end: the light of sacredness and inviolability.
At this moment, the Sect King stood up from his special seat, dragged his robe like a beautiful meteor across the sky, causing infinite reverie, and walked to the chief stage.
He spoke to the two contestants located below the arena.
At this moment, when the competition was approaching, the crowd was full of voices and cheers resounded throughout the audience, and the tide gradually quieted down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, under the impartial and strict gaze of the elders of the Council in the mighty city-state of Comtbreeth, all warriors, listen, the long-awaited "Emperor'Swings" Magic Academy Trials has finally arrived, once every four years!
Every year, thousands of magicians (martial artists) from all over the city-state participate in this tournament and become the strongest in the tournament! If you do get a certain amount of excellent results, you will be eligible to be recommended to enter the "Emperor's Swings" Wizard Academy and become a true magician!
This is the crowning glory of the royal city "Comt Brace"!
As we all know, before entering the finals, the previous fixed lottery mode is adopted, and the top players are selected through the preliminaries outside the field in a two-on-two elimination method!
In the past three days, several strong players have come to the fore; And now, two more contestants have been born, and they are about to enter the showdown between each other.
In addition, the victors among you will not only receive a certificate of admission. Your names will forever be imprinted on the glorious stone tablet of "Comt Brace"!
The old man's sincere blessing will one day in the future be under the command of Lord Astria, the goddess of the night, and become one of the twelve most powerful "golden magicians" who protect the whole continent.
For the prosperity and rejuvenation of the world in the future, soldiers, please give your blood to the fullest on this sacred stage! ”
・・・Wow・・
The King gave a simple but inspiring speech, and the silent arena was once again filled with cheers.
