Chapter 373: Els
In the days since Rhodes and his party arrived, more and more mages have gathered at the Ice Blue Spell Academy.
If the Magic Academy was a little empty when Rhodes first arrived here, by now, the entire Academy of Spells was filled with all kinds of creatures, whether it was the mages who had come to participate in the event, or the rest of the elemental creatures who had learned the news and had come here with the mages.
On the nearby streets, you can see strange-looking elemental creatures everywhere, and even some gods and monsters, because of the large number of mages, they also took the initiative to appear here at this time.
The Faculty Festival divides the territory of Bracada into districts, and selects one of the districts as a gathering place for members of the other Colleges.
The annual house event is held in this format, not only to facilitate the competition, but also to bring a period of prosperity to the selected college.
With the academy event as the foundation, the impact it brings, even if this academy event ends, will not disappear in a short time.
It is foreseeable that even if the academy event is over, the Ice Blue Spell Academy will enter a period of prosperity due to the impact of the academy event, until the next academy event arrives.
For the mages of Bracada, the annual academy event is their only celebration, and when the academy event is over, they will have to devote themselves to the long process of studying spells, so they naturally cherish the opportunity of the academy event.
Of course, even in this vicinity, not all mages have the opportunity to come to the Ice Blue Spell Academy, although the academy event does not limit the number of places in each academy, but in each academy, only a part of the mages with great potential will be selected to participate in the academy event.
Even so, more and more mages are gathering here.
With the large number of mages gathered, the original magic elements here were much thinner than at the beginning, and instead of them, there were frequent outbreaks of mana fluctuations.
While waiting, Rhodes even met with several academies and directly chose to open the door of time and space, bringing a large number of mages from within the academy to participate in the academy's grand event.
Due to the large increase in the number of people, the number of intact rooms provided by the Ice Blue Spell Academy at the beginning also decreased dramatically, and in the end, only the simplest rooms similar to the Silent Room were provided for the mages who arrived here.
Rhodes was still extremely fortunate to be able to arrive early, if he didn't arrive early, whether it was to deal with things or anything else, it would be a lot of trouble.
After this period of gathering, the mage has almost arrived, and finally came to the day of the opening of the academy grand event.
Under Elon's guidance, Rod took Rowling to a wide field together.
At this time, within this piece of ground, a large number of mages had gathered, and these mages were scattered in different areas, as if waiting for something.
These mages did not seem to be as harmonious with each other as Rhodes had seen at first, both in their eyes and in their expressions, they were full of vigilance.
According to what Elon learned, after the simple opening ceremony, this college event officially began.
Prior to this, the mages who had come to the Ice Blue Spell Academy may have already exchanged resources, including the acquisition of spell knowledge, but some truly valuable things still need to wait until the academy event officially opens before they appear.
Elon told Rhodes that with the opening of the academy event, the first test of the Potions competition would also be held here, and the mages gathered here at this time were all here for the Potions competition.
The potions competition held in the Ice Blue Spell Academy will eliminate most of the mages here, leaving only the top few and sending them to the heart of this academy event for the final competition.
This also explains why these mages are wary of each other, and in the eyes of these mages, the mages around them are already considered their opponents.
Even before the Potions competition began, the struggle between these mages began, and even within the Academy, mages who were also contestants would be wary of each other.
Although the competition between mages is not like what Rhodes saw in Diya, where necromancers compete for their lives, it is not much better, as long as there is interest, this competition will not disappear.
As the mages arrived, Rhodes noticed that a person dressed as an orthodox mage appeared out of thin air in the venue.
This person is wearing an ice blue robe, the edge of the robe has a little silver edge, due to the similar color, the silver edge is not particularly conspicuous, what makes Rod pay attention is that his face is relatively old, from the sight of the people around him looking at him, Rod can vaguely see a trace of respect.
Through Elon's introduction on the side, Rod also had a general understanding of the identity of this mage, who was the dean of the Ice Blue Spell Academy, Els.
From Els' body, Rod could sense a clear threat. Els's strength surpassed all the mages Rhodes had seen before.
As soon as Els appeared, the originally noisy venue instantly fell silent, and even if the mages needed to talk, they only did so in a very small voice.
It stands to reason that mages of Els's rank rarely come out to do so, but only concentrate on studying spells, hoping that their spell-casting ability can reach a new level.
However, since the chapter of the academy event was chosen at the Ice Blue Spell Academy, as the head of the academy, Els had to step forward.
When a mage has passed the accumulation period of strength, he will fall into a long bottleneck period, during which no matter how many spells he masters, his own essence will not improve.
Els was in this state, and he was not as enthusiastic about the academy extravaganza as an ordinary mage. Having seen too many of these situations, it seems that it is difficult to cause Els's mood to fluctuate in ordinary situations.
Seeing that the attention of all the mages around him had turned to him, Els said a few words about the situation of this academy event.
Els' voice wasn't loud, but to Rhodes, Els's voice could pass through the large area and reach his ears clearly.
Looking at the situation of the other mages around, it was obviously the same, and many knowledgeable mages could understand what kind of means Els used, but the remaining mages looked extremely puzzled.
Els didn't say much, just briefly mentioned the upcoming Potions Race, and once again used teleportation to leave the field.
