116. Officially started
Adam listened to the conversation between the two mages as if he didn't understand, and suddenly the slightly noisy hall fell silent, and all the formal mages bowed to the high platform and left the hall without saying a word.
Adam looked up and found a female mage walking in front of her, she didn't speak or have any expression, ether, magic, and elements surrounded her in an orderly manner, forming a special energy field, Adam only felt that this mage was very harmonious.
She lifted her hand behind her, and a curtain of light hung down, a huge island hanging over the sea.
"I'm the examiner for this war trial, and you can call me Priscia Superdimensional. She didn't open her mouth, and her voice seemed to sound directly from Adam's heart, instantly calming all his thoughts.
After hearing the mage's self-introduction, all the apprentices present bowed respectfully, waiting for the next words of the extradimensional.
"Here," the extradimensional mage pointed to the island, "it is a gathering place of anti-mages in captivity in the Fifth Element Holy Tower, with a total of thirteen anti-mage families, two schools of life, and their magic includes ancient elements, negative energy, curses, mutated creatures, undead, toxins, and so on......"
The apprentices were in a commotion, and they took out all kinds of items to record the words of the extradimensional mage.
"The Holy Tower has imprisoned the island's level 3 and above mages, and the goal of your trial is to destroy all remaining creatures that can communicate magic. The extradimensional mage sentenced the enemy mage to death in a non-fluctuating tone.
With a slight wave of her hand, several elemental creatures appeared beside her, holding unknown alchemy items in their hands and distributing them to everyone in turn.
"This is the Meritorious Bracelet, and all your movements during the trial will be recorded by it and passed on to me. ”
Adam put the bracelet on his hand, feeling a slight tingling in his wrist, he tried to take it off, and found that the bracelet seemed to be tightly connected to his body through some kind of connection.
"Kill a creature of the official level, you can get a hundred points of merit, the second level is two hundred points, the official level below is counted as one point, and the rest of the special tasks will be issued to you through the bracelet from time to time, your task method is completely free, you can choose to perform it in a team, or you can choose to decapitate alone, and the standard for completion is to get a thousand points. ”
Adam calculated, one thousand per person, and the nearly 1,000 people present need a total of one million merits, such a huge number?
Sure enough, the extradimensional mage's next words caused a commotion again: "According to the estimation of the Holy Tower, including the special missions that may be released, there are less than 150,000 points on the entire island. ”
It's the easiest arithmetic problem to be, and less than one in six people can pass the trial, while the rest can only be eliminated.
The extradimensional mage coughed lightly and suppressed all the discussions: "The meaning of the war trial is to select elites, and although you are geniuses of your respective academies, you may not be suitable for the standards of the Holy Tower. Those who die in the trial, or who are eliminated by not completing the goal, I can only say that it is a pity. ”
"The trial is not a game, maybe you have heard that the strength of the anti-mage is very weak, but that is relative to the official level, for you, any anti-mage means great danger, once again remind you, if you don't find your own way, it's still too late to quit, once you enter the trial ground, unless you can survive until others complete the ultimate goal, any apprentice who leaves the trial ground without permission will cause the bracelet to blow itself up. ”
The extradimensional mage's speech was as simple and direct as other mages, without pretense or concealment of facts, and straightforwardly told everyone what was at stake. As soon as this sentence came out, Adam found that many people present were hesitant, and he guessed that this part was probably from a relatively weak and remote academy like him, and participating in the trial was not more about confidence, but about gambling.
But at this time, no one flinched, otherwise the blow to the heart would be enough for them to live forever and not go any further.
Seeing that no one had withdrawn, the extra-dimensional mage nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to the ground, the teleportation light lit up, everyone stepped on the formation, and everyone finally only heard the extra-dimensional mage announce the start of the trial, and then disappeared into the hall.
———
"They're coming!"
"I feel the disgusting aura of the runes!"
"Humiliation after humiliation, we are not livestock!"
"Kill them, kill these betrayers who have deviated from the essence of magic!"
"Kill them, cut off the roots of the betrayers, and let the true magic shine again in the mage world!"
In the depths of each of the well-defended family schools on the island of Anti-Mage, the full-ranking Anti-Mages who exude the smell of decay roared in the sky, and under their orders, the entire island became a war zone, and any unidentified human would be attacked indiscriminately by them.
———
Adam came back to his senses and found himself standing alone in a wilderness, I don't know if all the apprentices were scattered, or if there was a problem with Adam's teleportation alone, but Adam felt that it should be the first case, and surviving and finding a companion in the unknown situation may be the first step in the trial.
The devil had been sullen since he was forcibly pulled out of the slave girl pile by Adam in the morning, and finally regained his mood when he arrived on the island of the Anti-Mage, and appeared in front of Adam with a pop, and breathed in the air of the island with a strange energy breath in exaggerated intoxication: "Oh! I love it here, I smell my hometown." ”
Adam looked at the devil's expression and the negative energy breath that was adjusted into the taste of lust by it and felt a little disgusting, an arc of electricity hit its body mercilessly, the devil's body was disintegrated and reorganized, and said resentfully: "Master......"
"Shut up, go see where there are people around, don't make a move when you encounter someone with energy, wait for me to deal with it. ”
After receiving the order, the devil stopped gagging, and he knew the importance of this trial, not only for Adam, but also for him. It is a devil, an alien creature that cultivates negative energy, and it is impossible for it to complete its transformation in the mage plane without a master who has been promoted to a formal level.
After the devil left, Adam stayed where he was and silently adjusted his energy aura, although the extradimensional mage set up the goal, but the details were too vague, such as whether he could be promoted during the trial process, and what should be done with the ordinary people on the enemy mage island?
Adam felt that the reason why he did not explain this was not the negligence of the extradimensional mages, but the test of the apprentices' ability to adapt to changes, which may be related to the final evaluation of the mission.
While he was thinking, the devil dialed the soul connection: "Master, there is a gathering area here. ”
