Chapter 407: Countermeasures
When Rhodes finished refining the perfect potion, took the lead in obtaining the gold badge to prove his identity, and left the venue, the competition was still going on as usual, but any mage could feel the abnormal atmosphere at this time.
Although the potions competition is not over yet, even among the participating mages, only a few are still concentrating on refining potions at this time, and the rest of the mages are no longer here.
Although Rhodes is gone, the influence he caused has not been eliminated, and it is gradually spreading as the entire Potions Contest progresses, and even mages who do not pay attention to the Potions Contest can learn about what happened in the Potions Contest through the discussions of other mages.
Due to the strength shown by Rod in the second stage of the rematch, the influence that North had originally created among the mages had been completely overshadowed by Rod at this time. These mages were desperate to learn more about Rhodes, but they couldn't.
When the last mage also completed the refining of the potion, according to the quality of the potion refined by these mages at this stage, their ranking was also counted, and the first one was naturally Rhodes.
Behind the name of each mage, there is also the force they are in. The most striking thing is that the top two on this list are not from the magic academy, but from the lord's power.
In addition to Rod, North also made it to the finals of the Potions Competition. If Rod did not exist, North at this time was undoubtedly the most influential mage, but when Rod appeared, all that changed.
With the emergence of this ranking, the candidates who can make it to the finals have also appeared. The first three will follow Sock to the City of Winter a day later.
For powerful high-level mages, traveling between different towns is not a hassle except for the financial resources that need to be consumed. The convenience of the Gate of Time and Space is most clearly reflected in the high-level mage.
As the journey increases, so does the cost of opening and maintaining the Gate. When the distance reaches a certain level, both the required mana value and the mass of the space calibration will change qualitatively.
Even if it is a high-level mage, the farthest distance that can be reached is only to use the time and space gate in Bracada to travel quickly.
If you want to open the gate of time and space that spans half a continent and reaches places like Diya in the territory of Bracada, the price required will be unimaginable to ordinary mages.
However, for shorter distance travel, the Space-Time Gate does not consume much, similar to the Space-Time Gate that appeared at the beginning of the second stage of the semi-final, due to the extremely short distance, it will only consume some mana for Sock, and will not consume space calibration.
There is still one day left before the Space-Time Gate to the Winter City opens, during which time the mages participating in the finals of the Potions Contest will be able to collect refining materials within the Ice Blue Mage Academy, or participate in the rest of the Academy's extravaganza.
In addition to this Potions Competition, there are also various events within the Ice Blue Spell Academy, where mages from different houses can gather in the same place to discuss their opinions on magic.
In Bracada, the annual academy event is one of the few entertainment activities for mages, and even the instructors in the academy can take this opportunity to break away from the boredom of studying spells.
But this point, naturally, is not applicable to Sock, not to mention Sock's plan all along, just to guide the Potions competition took Sock a lot of energy, making it impossible for him to enjoy this academy event like an ordinary mage.
At this time, Soke was looking gloomy, and it was obvious that something had happened that made him angry.
Shortly after the rematch, when the ranking of mages was just emerging, Thork received a message from Dean Els asking him to turn in the perfect potion that appeared in the second phase of the rematch.
As for Els's plan, Sock knew very well in his heart that after Els got the news about the perfect potion, he would definitely try his best to obtain it and use it to enhance his own strength.
Due to the peculiarity of the Perfect Potion, any mage can use multiple Perfect Potions and get the effect of stacking them, and the only restriction of the Perfect Potion is the main material used in refining.
In Sock's heart, he was reluctant to hand over this perfect potion to Els. Sock predicted that in the future development of Bracada, Potions would definitely occupy an important position, and if this perfect potion was used as a reference, the development of Potions at the Ice Blue Spell Academy would definitely have a great advantage.
However, Els didn't care about all this, all he wanted was to get the perfect potion in Sock's hand and use it to improve his strength.
This is also a point that Sock has always disliked Els. In Sock's view, what Els thinks about is only how to improve his own strength, not how to improve the overall strength of the academy.
For this reason, Sock specially reminded the mage who checked the perfect potion in the rematch not to tell him about the potion, but what Sock didn't expect was that in such a short period of time, Els got the news about the perfect potion and asked for it.
Although Sock was extremely angry in his heart, he did not vent his anger on the rest of the students, not even going to the previous inspector, but thinking about how to deal with Els.
So far, due to the disparity in identity and strength, Sock has not been able to refuse Els's request, and Els has asked for it in the way of the dean, and Sock has no right to refuse.
After thinking about it for a while, Sock still came up with a countermeasure, the bottle of perfect potion in his hand, Sock didn't plan to hand it over, and if he wanted to meet Els's request, he could only rely on the mage who refined the potion, that is, Rod.
When Sock put on the badge for Rod, he deliberately observed Rod's expression.
In Sock's opinion, Rod's expression was very calm, completely different from the previous North, even if he personally put on the badge for him, his expression did not change in any way.
And this just made Sock feel a little unusual, in this situation, no mage could be so calm. Changing to other mages, just refining a perfect potion with a powerful effect will also make you very excited.
Combined with North's unusual attention to Rhodes before, coupled with the fact that they also came from the lord's power, Sock had vaguely guessed Rhodes' identity.
