Chapter 66: The Magic Vortex
The Magic Conference took place as scheduled.
The so-called magic conference is actually just an exchange meeting of the major magic guilds once every twelve years. The major wizards are invited to the conference to give magic lectures, recognize magicians who have contributed to the wizarding world, and finally have a magic apprenticeship competition.
However, the magic conference has changed from the original communication-based form to the current confrontation-based, basically all the magic guides explain the magic is a formality, and there is no substantive content, therefore, the first two days of the magic conference exchange, basically no magic apprentices are interested, they are interested in the last competition to enter the magic vortex, although this competition is risky, but the harvest is huge, and the results of the competition will also determine the number of magic apprentices in the next magic conference in the country you represent.
The last magic apprentices to enter the forbidden area of the magic vortex came from seven countries and regions, and three hundred elite magic apprentices. The number of magical apprentices in its host country is as many as a hundred, followed by the Alchemy Country and Rainbow Island, both of which are more numerous than the Erathians, and even split into the Elven King and the Forest Country under the Druids, which together are more than the Erathians.
The magic vortex contains a great deal of magical energy, and although there is a certain amount of risk in cultivating in it, it will allow magic apprentices to gain many benefits, especially a large increase in mana value, which will pave the way for them to become magicians in the future. The rules are very simple, the longer anyone can practice in the forbidden area of the Magic Vortex, the stronger the ability and the higher the grade. Three days after entering the Magic Vortex Forbidden Zone, the Magic Vortex will be closed, and all living people will be squeezed out of the Magic Vortex. Apprentices who enter the Magic Vortex will be given a Magic Rune, and if they are unable to hold on, the Magic Vortex will automatically send themselves out of the Magic Vortex by driving the Magic Rune.
The Magic Guild recruits magic apprentices every three years, and the magic conference is only held once every twelve years, so relatively speaking, Higg, Daniel and Nicole, who have just entered the Magic Guild as magic apprentices, are more disadvantaged, and the relative number is better, but these people can participate in the magic conference through layers of selection, which in itself shows their magical talent, and their future achievements will be very high. Higg, Daniel, and Nicole were jointly recommended by Rainbow Island and the Elasia Magic Guild to directly get a place in the magic convention, and although it was very dissatisfying, no one would underestimate them.
Higg, Daniel, and Nicole received the magic talisman and entered the Magical Vortex Forbidden Zone through a one-way portal with thirty apprentices from the Magical Guild of Allasia.
As soon as they exited the portal, everyone immediately felt a powerful magical power, which overwhelmed everyone. The mid-air was shrouded in black and oppressive demon clouds, which formed a whirlpool with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, slowly rotating in mid-air, which was daunting. The center of the demon cloud flickered like lightning due to its powerful magical power, making people feel fear and awe.
Although the representative team of each country's magic guild enters through the same portal, they will be randomly teleported to different portal exits, each exit is tens of kilometers apart, and this portal is one-way and cannot be teleported back.
As soon as they came in, they were very unwell under the pressure of the magic vortex, so they immediately meditated and mobilized their magic power to fight against the power of the magic vortex. The magic apprentice in the magic vortex must always use his magic power to fight against the magic vortex, how to reasonably distribute his magic power, how to fight it correctly, this is a certain skill, this skill is a comprehensive test of the magic apprentice's innate ability and acquired efforts. When the magic apprentice's mana is exhausted, he must go out, otherwise, without mana to fight against the magic vortex, he will be swallowed by the magic vortex and become part of the power of the magic vortex.
It should be said that the people who can enter the magic vortex are extremely talented magic apprentices, and they will not consume their magic power to consume in infighting. So Higg wasn't too worried about PΓΌrster finding trouble for himself, and it was very unwise to spend mana in the magic vortex to fight. Even if Firstrate wanted to do this, he would have to find himself under this whirlpool of hundreds of kilometers.
Higg slowly ran his mana against the power of the magic vortex, which was not too powerful for Higg, and the same was true for most magic apprentices. Even so, the continuous consumption of mana for three days is difficult for anyone to persevere. While the power of the magic vortex confronted the magic running in Higg's body, it also resonated, washing every part of his body.
Slowly, as everyone adjusted their magic power, they gradually adapted to this uncomfortable feeling, and everyone was experiencing this power and slowly transforming it into their own magic space.
Higg and Daniel did not separate, discussing their experiences with each other. For Daniel and Nicole, although their strength is considered first-class in their class, and their talents are also outstanding, after all, the time to learn magic is much less than that of other magic apprentices, and they can have their current achievements thanks to the demon Higg. Higg has never kept a secret from these two people, from learning to opinions, to verification, to induction, he has always been a teacher and a friend.
Except for Higg and the other three, everyone else began to enter a meditative state, so that they could maintain the best state of confrontation, so that their magic power could recover slightly, so that they could hold on for a long time before the mana consumption was completed.
Therefore, the three people who discussed while resisting became outliers in the team. Night and day are not too noticeable in the dungeon, especially under the black pressure of the magic vortex, where the sky is always dark.
"I don't think I should have gone anywhere else!" Higg said.
"Isn't there any danger?" Nicole said worriedly.
"I don't know!" "I feel like there's a limit to what you can get out of being in one place all the time. The direction of power in a fixed place in this magic vortex is constant, and we need to experience the magic of different places and different directions of power. β
"I'm worried that if there really is some conspiracy on Shenlong Island!" Nicole said.
"It's useless to worry, we're already in the whirlpool, I've been bored here for a long time!" Daniel echoed Higg and said.
"Let's just pay attention to vigilance, if we want to have a harvest, how can we do it without taking risks, hehe!" Higg laughed.
The three Higgs said hello to the rest of the group, then left the group and walked deeper into the whirlpool!
With the difference in depth, the experience is really different, the magic power from different directions, pressed to Higg, Daniel and Nicole, and the three of them also had to run magic resistance in the opposite direction, although it consumes more magic than meditation, but Higg believes that this comprehensive tempering will inevitably make his magic worthy of a greater improvement.
The magic forbidden area is part of the day and night, so Higg doesn't know how long he has been gone, he only feels that he still has more than half of his magic power left, but Daniel and Nicole don't have much left, and it is estimated that it won't be long before they should drive the magic runes to teleport themselves out!
The three of Higg, who were discussing while walking, suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind them, and Higg, who didn't have time to dodge, didn't think much about it, and directly drew his sword and slashed over! With a bang, a ring of ice exploded between the three of them, hitting Higg, Daniel, and Nicole, and several people were swept to the ground by the ice ring, Daniel and Nicole almost fainted, and Higg shivered from the cold.
"Hahaha! Forbidden martial arts in the magic vortex, don't you know? You actually used a sword in the magic vortex force, hahaha! First walked out from behind, followed by at least thirty magic apprentices, and a group of people also laughed, "Boy, I've checked, your name is Higg, I didn't expect you to be quite bold, offended me, and dared to come to the magic conference, hahaha!" β
Higg stood up, adjusted his body, didn't care about Daniel and Nicole, and said, "First, I didn't expect you to be able to cast the third-order ice ring, I underestimate you!" β
"You're not bad, I didn't expect an ice ring to help you, it seems that it will take some effort!" Firste laughed.
"The things in the tavern won't let you chase after you like this, hahaha!" Higg also laughed and said, "I didn't believe it before, but it turns out that the magic conference on Shenlong Island is really a conspiracy!" β
"Yes, you're smart!" Firste smiled, "I won't hide it from you about a dying person, my mission is to strangle the genius magicians of all races, hahaha!" You are so young that you can fight me in the tavern without defeat, and the wizards of the Magic Guild are very unhappy when they hear about it, and they want me to get rid of you in order to prevent future troubles, you can't blame me, it was decided by the old men of the Magic Guild. β
Higg secretly glanced at Daniel and Nicole on the ground, asking them to drive the magic rune out first and break it themselves, but this could not escape First's eyes
"Higg, don't bother!" Firste laughed, "Since the Magic Guild of Moros wants to get rid of you, how can it give you real magic runes, hahaha!" β
"What do you say? What you sent us was fake? Higg was shocked, he thought that even if he encountered danger and had a magic talisman in his hand, he didn't have to worry, it was a big deal to leave this ghost place, but he didn't expect to get a fake magic talisman.
"It's not all, only the top people in each team will get fakes, hahaha, otherwise, there are too many dead people, and we can't explain it!" Firster laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a fake talisman, it's just that it can't drive them away, it's a tracking charm for you!" Hahaha, otherwise, we are within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, how can we find you so easily! β
At this time, Daniel and Nicole also slowly stood up, although the damage of ordinary magicians hit by the ice ring is not great, it makes people's bodies freeze, unbearable, and causes slowness in movement. Higg quietly cast an acceleration magic skill, and now that he has comprehended the origin of the qi system, the acceleration magic skill can already be accelerated in groups. Higg whispered to the two: "When the time comes, you withdraw first, and I will hold them back!" β
The two were about to speak, when Higg waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, do as I say, or I will be distracted to protect you!" β
Daniel and Nicole knew that Higg was telling the truth, and that the two of them were no longer capable of fighting, and if they didn't withdraw first, they would definitely drag Higg back. But Higg is certain to die against so many people with himself.
"There's no time to hesitate, you have to trust me!" Higg looked at the two of them and hesitated, and hurriedly said.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go together, destroy them, and save them from playing any small tricks!" Firste said to the people around him.
