Chapter 368: The Arrangement of the Spirit Society
Through Reese's story, Rhodes got some extremely useful information.
When the House Festival begins, the mages in the House will choose a theme as the main purpose of the event, and use competitions or other forms to achieve this goal.
Generally speaking, the theme of the event can only be determined when the event officially opens. This is also to ensure the fairness of the event as a whole, so that all mages have the same amount of time to prepare.
However, during the conversation with Rod, Reese directly told Rhodes the theme of this event, which was the Potions Festival.
And this is also in line with the theme of the event in Rhodes' memory.
In the course of the game in his previous life, because Rod had been practicing spells in Bracada, he also participated in the grand event in the academy.
However, Rod's participation was only as a bystander, and he did not do anything commendable in the event. Even so, Rhodes retains a lot of memories of the event.
In Rhodes' mind, in the early middle of the first expansion, the first Wizardry Academy event that players were able to participate in, was all about potions.
During this event, the mages of Bracada tried to discover the various potions of the underworld, and even held a potions competition for this purpose.
Due to the lack of information, Rhodes did not know what role the Spirit Society played in this. Whether the determination of the theme of this event was promoted by the Spirit Society, Rod also did not know.
At one point, Bracada classified potions into hexeldom and forbade any mages to explore them, but after the influence of the mage god subsided, even the Magic Guild no longer controlled potions.
Faced with Bracada at this time, the things that the Magic Guild had to deal with were not easy, so they could only selectively relax some things.
In this case, the study of potions was back on the agenda of mages, and if there was no war to come, when the event was over, potions science would be back in Bracada.
In the game of his previous life, Rhodes had a very clear impression of the events of this event.
In order to restart the study of potions, the academies from all over the world banded together and held a contest on potions.
In Rod's memory, the championship of this competition should have been won by a player. The player had some chance of his own, and he had obtained the recipe for a rare potion from a ruin somewhere, and he had won the championship of the event in one fell swoop.
In his previous life, Rhodes did not have the opportunity to contact the Spirit Society, but according to Rhodes' memory, in this academy event, Rod never heard any news about necromancers, but the reward of the champion of this competition made Rhodes even more concerned.
According to Reese, the Spiritual Society has begun to recruit necromancers with full attainments in potions from all over Bracada in preparation for this event.
If Reese hadn't mentioned it, Rhodes might have forgotten about the academy's event entirely.
Due to the different factions, Rhodes hardly thought of participating in such a grand event in Bracada, but looking at the actions of the Spirit Society, it seems that he has found a way to get the necromancer to join in.
As the expansion progresses backwards, almost all mage players will know about the recipe for potions, but the amount of knowledge will vary.
And Rhodes happened to know several extremely special potion recipes. Previously, due to the unsuitable environment and the lack of required materials, Ruder Finn had not been able to use these formulas.
Because of these advantages, coupled with the realization that the Spirit Society seemed to have a way to conceal the identity of the necromancer, Rhodes was very interested in this grand event in the Magic Academy.
Whenever the academy event in Bracada opens, all the colleges will participate in it, and this is one of the few large-scale events in Bracada, and as long as the mages in the academy are looking forward to this moment every year.
The prizes offered for competitions held at such academy events are often substantial. If he wins the championship, he will naturally be able to have a great influence, and to a certain extent, he will be able to influence all the mages in the academy.
Through Rod's inquiry, Reece also realized that Rhodes seemed to want to get involved, and it happened that Rees was also looking for a suitable candidate, so he told Rod all the information he knew.
In the past, the participants were limited to the members of the academy in various places. As for the lords who have left the academy and established their influence in the territory of Bracada, they are not allowed to join it.
When the lord leaves the academy, his mentality will change dramatically, whether he is lured by forbidden knowledge or something else, he will no longer have the same state as he used to be.
The Academy was well aware of all this, so it forbade the participation of the local lords.
For those lords, unless they can temporarily give up their lordship status and return to the academy where they studied, they can only be allowed to participate in the academy event as a student.
But this time, I don't know how the Spirit Society achieved this, even the lords of various places were able to lead their own forces to participate in this grand event, and this gave the necromancer a lot of opportunities.
According to Reese, there is only so much that the Spirit Club can do, and the rest depends on the efforts of the necromancer himself.
Now, what the Spiritual Guild is looking for is a necromancer who is extremely skilled in potions.
Rhodes knew that this move of the Spirit Society was just for insurance, and the Spirit Society, which had promoted all this, must have mastered the extremely powerful potion formula and handed it over to the necromancer they had chosen.
In the course of the previous life, although the Spirit Society had done so much, this time the champion of the Potions competition still had nothing to do with the necromancer, and was won by a player.
Even so, in the course of the subsequent game, the Guild still achieved its original plan, allowing the necromancer to appear on the battlefield.
It can be said that the Spirit Society has been prepared for many hands from the very beginning, and even if a certain plan fails, it will not affect the overall layout of the Spirit Society.
After learning all about the house's extravaganza from Reese, Rhodes decided to join the team and participate in the potions competition.
The main reason why Rhodes chose to join this potions competition was not only to increase the influence of the necromancer, but also to increase the rewards that the champion could get.
