Chapter 349: The Wizard's Hand IX.
For Ye Qi's bottom question, even the strange wolf can't give an accurate answer, but one thing, the strange wolf is quite sure.
"He doesn't have anything in him that can cause direct damage to that crazy guy!"
The strange wolf said.
"What is there that can directly hurt you?"
Ye Qi stepped forward slowly, and at the same time continued to ask in his heart.
"A little, very little stuff β and, not all of them work, are very targeted!"
The strange wolf ended Ye Qi's deliberate probe with a burst of laughter, and it was obvious that it would never say anything until it had encountered these so-called 'little, very few things'.
Ye Qi stood near the edge of the center of the field, and opposite him, the young wizard stood there with a hint of nervousness, but Ye Qi could see that in the eyes of the young wizard opposite, in addition to nervousness, there was more excitement; An inexplicable excitement that can only be found when a big event is about to happen.
Everyone has their own nature, some people will be nervous and scared, while some people will be excited, undoubtedly, the latter has a foundation for success; However, at such a time, Ye Qi would definitely not tolerate it because of such a situation.
In addition to the position of being a witcher himself, it is more important that if he loses to a high-ranking wizard who is not even a great wizard at this moment, then such a thing will definitely become a joke, a joke that can be circulated on Lorant for countless years, and he is the best actor in that joke.
"As a true powerhouse, His Excellency the Dragon of Shak is willing to take risks three times. And Peloz's courage led him to choose a fearless challenge β a battle between the two sides. The Lord of the Dragons of Shak is defeated if he is hit any time. Peloz was hit three times after losing ...... Now, do you have any objections? β
The old wizard's assistant personally served as the referee, standing in the middle of the field and asking, and just as the assistant's words fell, the most direct prompt appeared in Ye Qi's system taskbar.
[B-Rank Mission: Special Opponents; Your opponent isn't strong, but he has plenty of potential, but that doesn't justify you from giving up on victory. γ
After glancing at it. Ye Qi nodded that he didn't mean anything, and immediately, the young wizard also said that he didn't mean anything.
"So...... Begin! β
The old wizard's assistant glanced at both sides again and stepped aside.
Suddenly, the atmosphere froze at this moment, and all the onlookers waited with bated breath for the next battle, they were all expecting who would be the first to strike, and this suspense did not last long; After only a few seconds, the young wizard raised the staff in his left hand.
Crunch, crunch, crunch......
A sound originating from the freezing of the air filled the field, and such a freezing sound was heard. The wizards on the sidelines, young with irrepressible surprise. The old ones were also a little surprisedβbecause the speed of such spells was beyond their expectations.
The kind of cold air and ice crystals that appear almost visibly with the naked eye in a state of silence are far beyond the strength of the young wizard at this moment, at least in the eyes of ordinary high-ranking wizards, this is simply unattainable - one of the biggest differences between the great wizard and the high-ranking wizard is the gestures and spells that need to be coordinated when using spells.
If it weren't for the fact that it was manifested from a young superior wizard, all wizards would think that it was a great wizard; The surprise of the crowd was so strange that they stared at the young wizard with a dead gaze.
However, soon, some gray-robed wizards were relieved.
In addition to the speed, the power of this ice arrow technique naturally cannot be concealed from their perception, and at this moment, in their perception, the power of these ice arrows has almost dropped by more than fifty percent; As the gray-robed wizards perceived, the younger wizards also noticed the difference.
However, this did not prevent them from disapproving of this method, on the contrary, many young wizards cheered almost subconsciously; And the old gray robes also nodded slightly.
Because, only as wizards, can understand what this means - it means that Peloz has mastered this spell to the pinnacle, to the point where only the level of a great wizard can achieve it, even if it is not complete, it is commendable.
For these, except for feeling that the other party's spell was faster, Ye Qi didn't have any more thoughts - with the 'support' of the god queen, no matter how powerful the young wizard in front of him was, it was not surprising to Ye Qi, it was all acceptable;
And in those legends, which of these gods is not a well-known big man; Obviously, this young wizard also has the foundation to become such a big man!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......
Under the aura of magic, the ice arrows appeared crystal clear, and more were cold and piercing, at a speed far from being inferior to the crossbow, five ice arrows in a row, in a fan-shape, shot in the direction of Ye Qi from the young wizard's face; Although there is a difference between before and after, at the speed of the rapid casting of the spell, it becomes as if it were instantaneous.
Bang, bang, bang......
Almost as if the previous scene was repeated, on the way to the shooting, these ice arrows burst one after another, becoming smaller ice arrows, and the speed became faster; Everyone was amazed by this speed, but the next moment, their current admiration became a little stingy, and even their faces changed.
Ye Qi's footsteps were crisp, like a dancing dancer, and like a light wind, dodging in these ice arrows again and again, the fast, cold ice arrows, not even Ye Qi's clothes could not touch, Ye Qi's whole person had already shuttled through and appeared in front of the young wizard. The Enma Knife in his hand. With the scabbard, he struck the young wizard in the shoulder with a gentle blow to the shoulder, who couldn't dodge.
As for the long sword in the hands of a young wizard?
I don't even have a chance to wield it!
If yes. The real battle, the young wizard at this moment, I'm afraid that the head has already moved.
Slap, slap, slap......
The ice arrows that were unabated were shattered into ice slag one after another after colliding with the force field shield that had just been specially reinforced, and the people around them didn't pay attention to these at all, they were just looking at Ye Qi who was walking back towards his original position - although he had already known in advance that this was a battle with extreme disparity. There was no expectation of winning such a battle, but once it began, everyone had a different idea in the face of the young people of their own camp.
No one wants to see their own people lose!
This is especially true when the person shows something different; However, things don't change because their minds change, they still go according to their original trajectory, and end at a much faster pace, even so fast that they don't have time to react.
The old wizard's assistant walked to the middle of the field again. He looked at the young man he valued, with concern in his eyes; Peloz took a few quick breaths. He nodded to the assistant with a different identity, signaling that everything was normal and that he didn't have to worry.
After seeing that the young wizard himself said that he was fine, the old wizard's assistant looked at Ye Qi; However, it was obvious that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, and he also expressed his gratitude to Ye Qi with his eyes, and then asked if he would start again.
"...... Two games, start! β
After Ye Qi nodded, the old wizard's assistant shouted after a long note.
At the beginning of the second game, there was basically no difference between the two sides and the first one, and they were still standing in their original positions; This time, though, the young wizard didn't attack right away, as he had done before; Instead, he stood in place, performed a wizarding salute, and said, "Your Excellency the Dragon of Shak, thank you for accepting such an impudent request from me!" β
Ye Qi, who had a little guess, said quietly: "You are not rude, but in my opinion, this is an affirmation of yourself...... In the eyes of others, witchers are always habitually taking risks and reaping considerable profits; But they don't see the determination we need to pay and the pain after defeat when we take this risk! β
"It's really amazing to be able to have that kind of determination!"
Ye Qi seemed to be sure, and nodded with a smile as he spoke.
The young wizard did not agree or directly disagree, but said, "I think there should be a safer and safer way to do it than the determination of the witcher...... I've always believed that prudence is the most necessary quality! β
Ye Qi naturally will not refute this, but this does not mean that he will do nothing.
I saw that Ye Qi moved his body slightly to the side; And the next moment after Ye Qi moved, layers of ice crystals appeared on the ground where Ye Qi was originally standing; And the young wizard who saw this scene couldn't help but change color slightly, but Ye Qi said with a chuckle: "Caution is also one of my favorite qualities!" β
After speaking, Ye Qi's whole person turned into a violent wind and appeared in front of the other party, and the scabbard struck the other party again in the position where it had been struck before.
Around, the people standing outside the reinforced defensive shield couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the second battle, which ended faster than the previous oneβthey didn't complain about Peloz's way of attacking, after all, the previous Vernes had already said the beginning, so such a fight would begin, and the conversation between words after that, even with a hint of stratagem, could be accepted.
It's just that none of them found out when Peloz launched the spell, and even those gray robes frowned slightly at this time; Only the chief wizard still looked at everything with a smile on his face, and nodded at Ye Qi to express his gratitude.
Ye Qi also smiled in return.
"Lord Valles, I want to take a break, I don't know what to do?"
Just as the old wizard's assistant walked into the arena again, the young wizard suddenly spoke; In this regard, although the assistant subconsciously wanted to nod, he still looked at Ye Qi.
Ye Qi agreed: "Yes! β
Seeing Ye Qi nodding, the assistant immediately walked towards the young wizard. Ask how long you need to take a break; Ye Qi turned and walked towards the old wizard; When passing through the crowd surrounding the arena. Onlookers of wizards. Regardless of age, they all retreat slightly to the sides, like a receding tide.
Moreover, all of them expressed their respect to Ye Qi; The younger ones directly indicated the wizarding ceremony, and the older ones nodded their heads; And Ye Qi also responded with a smile one by one, but in his heart, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "At any time, you always have to show it." Enough strength to be able to gain true respect! β
Although the previous wizards were very polite, Ye Qi could see that that politeness appeared on the surface, more because of the old wizard, and it was more than a little bit worse than the real respect; And it wasn't until just now, after he left the arena, that such respect began to appear.
The old wizard looked at Ye Qi who walked to the chair next to him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Facing an opponent who is not as good as himself, but he must show seriousness. I admire what you do! β
After sitting down, Ye Qi looked at the old wizard helplessly. "Your words make it difficult for me to have any joy at all...... Although I don't know why you want to do this, and I agree with you to do this, it is really uncomfortable for me to pull me into it as an outsider! β
The old wizard smiled and said, "Ye, you are not an outsider...... After learning of my request and coming to the Hand of the Wizard, you will be in a way a special being who is more intimate with the Hand of the Wizard than the average wizard - just like the regent of the past, and when the prince is young, he must assist them in their growth and take care of everything in the country! β
Ye Qi spread his hands straightly: "There is really nothing in my favor of such a metaphor of yours; After all, as far as I know, none of the regent in history have ended well...... Moreover, compared to those regent who have extraordinary abilities, I can't compare to anything other than my strength! β
The old wizard waved his hand, admitting his mistake, and said, "This is just a metaphor for me, a very simple metaphor, without any implication...... In the same way, just as I apologize at this moment, my faith in you is also very abundant. I'm sure you do better than anyone else! β
Ye Qi pointed to the young wizard who was talking to his assistant and asked, "In the face of such a young man, I'm afraid I will be more than capable of strength!" β
If a figure like Peloz appeared among those in need of asylum, Ye Qi would definitely reconsider the agreement he made with the old wizard.
It's not about credibility, it's just a complete re-examination of his own abilities - Ye Qi doesn't think he can bargain with that god queen in his current state; Unless you want to be directly shot to death by the other party, even if you add a strange wolf, it's just one more death.
And in this regard, the strange wolf naturally expressed his dissatisfaction: "I'm not afraid of that crazy guy, you have to know that I ...... in my heyday"
However, the voice of such words is getting quieter and quieter.
Obviously, even the strange wolf is a little lacking in confidence at this time.
The old wizard quickly lowered his voice and said, "Peloz is a very special case, one that is so special that we have not expected it; To this, I can assure you that there is only one; And promise, Peloz will not be in our agreement. β
Ye Qi nodded slightly, and quickly thought in his heart: "There is definitely more than one back road left......
For such a practice, Ye Qi did not have any anger, nor did he have any anger, he did not put his eggs in one basket, he was very recognized, and under such recognition, it was naturally logical.
At this time, the old wizard's assistant began to announce in a loud voice: "The third game will be held in half an hour!" β
In such a shout, the people around dispersed one after another, and the gray-robed people saluted the old wizard and Ye Qi one after another and returned to the front hall, while the young wizards simply walked to the corner to the side, and several people gathered around and whispered about the two battles that had occurred before, which combined for less than a minute, and their eyebrows fluttered, with indescribable excitement and excitement; Obviously, the young wizard's magical abilities and Ye Qi's wind-like stride opened their eyes and gave them an extraordinary understanding of combat.
Sitting on the chair and watching the crowd disperse around him, Ye Qi turned his head to look at the old wizard and said, "Any power and individual has its own secrets, and in the face of such secrets, we don't want to be discovered by other forces and individuals; So, we stick to our own bottom line! β
Ye Qi expressed his stance to the old wizard again, stating his position.
The old wizard smiled and said, "There are some secrets that must be shared, because that will be the best chance for our friendship to be sublimated...... However, this is not the time, we need to wait again; At the very least, it needs to be after this competition to be able to tell in detail. β
Ye Qi nodded and said, "I will be looking forward to such a conversation!" β
