Chapter 572: Falling and Climbing
The venue of the Trials of the Sages is similar to the Magic Arena of the Higher School of Magic in Rursk.
It's just a version that can only accommodate more than two hundred people.
"Why aren't you allowed to attack others with a staff!"
Ciri was sitting in the audience with her hood around her head, and the spellcaster's lady was in a state of complete indignation.
"Uh... Because this trial is essentially a test of the use of magic, Heri, the battle you just fought can be said to be an understanding of a spear or a sledgehammer? β
Qiao Xiu didn't know what to say about Ciri's duel just now.
Ciri, as the apprentice of the Purple Cloak, was honored to appear as the first tester, and she was faced against an elderly spellcaster of the Scorching System.
Just when people from all walks of life were shocked by what kind of magic the apprentice of the Purple Coatist would use to subdue the other party, Ciri directly proved with his actions that 'simple and rude' is the truth.
While the spellcaster of the Scorching System was still chanting magic, Ciri directly put an 'aggravated' Order System inscription on his staff, and then rushed towards the other party.
The caster quickly chanted defensive magic, and subconsciously dodged Ciri's first attack.
But Heeri used mental magic to disrupt the opponent's senses in that moment, and then directly smashed the opponent's face with a staff in a home run position.
The final result, of course, was that the caster was out of the game with a perfect score, and was directly beaten under the ring unconscious.
At that moment, the audience cheered only Qiao Xiu, and Ciri was directly disqualified from the trial because of a foul.
"So those academic mages! I could stun them more than a dozen times while they were chanting! β
"The final trial begins."
All Joxiu can do is use this method to distract Ciri.
The number of participants in this trial was only sixteen, and the final victory came very quickly.
The two sides of the duel were also the two that Qiao Xiu expected, that is, Prince Kaos and the Thunder Crystal Sophia.
"It feels like you're watching wrestling."
Josiu sat in his seat and watched the scenery below, and when Prince Kaos and Sophia appeared, they could hear cheers from the audience.
This trial is a battle of honor for these caster apprentices alike.
"You bet on where to win?" Qiao Xiu asked suddenly.
"Don't bet."
Ciri reflexively rejected Joshua's offer, and it wasn't the first time she'd suffered a loss.
"Okay......"
While Josiu was talking to Ciri, the battle below had already begun.
This was the first time Qiao Xiu had seen the spellcasters fighting with all their might, and it felt like watching a full-score special effects movie, and Qiao Xiu was just about to find a bucket of popcorn and Coke.
Thunder raged across the field, but was soon consumed by scorching flames and reddened steel.
The fight between Prince Kaos and Sofina was not on the same level as before.
The temperature in the air was rising rapidly, the site was destroyed into debris one by one, and dark clouds quietly gathered in the sky.
After Qiao Xiu enjoyed nearly twelve minutes of special effects battles, this trial finally came to an end.
The air around her had been distorted by the heat, and the playing field had melted into something between lava and rock, and a large amount of reddish steel had emerged from under Sofina's feet.
In an instant, a tower of iron spikes completely surrounded Sofina.
"It's... Enough dead people. Qiao Xiu glanced at the sages who were watching around him, but they were not moved at all.
Until the next second, the thunder in the sky hit the field like a torrential rain, completely destroying everything, and everything was settled.
Miss Thundering Crystal had managed to win her honor, the first of Nolan's young spellcasters.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Empress Ekanna sat in the magic guide car on her way to the embassy of the Iron Nation.
In the passenger seat was the silent Prince Kaos.
"Do you know how many people watched that trial?" Empress Ekanna asked suddenly.
"The second son of Duke Clinton of the Peaks, the eldest daughter of Earl Fossna who pioneered the forestβ" Prince Kaos knew what his mother was asking.
"When you become king, they will all be your courtiers." Empress Ekanna whispered, "You don't just have to learn to enter the Tower of the Sage, you have to be their leader, but as the future leader of the Iron Nation, you have been defeated several times by a little girl from the enemy nation......"
ββ¦β¦β
Prince Kaos did not refute his own mother and was not qualified to refute it.
Nolan was like a small world, and most of the spellcasters who could enter the Tower of the Philosophers had excellent bloodlines, and his mother wanted Kaos to do more than just befriend them.
And be their leader! Let the children of those nobles respect and even worship themselves.
Prince Kaos had indeed done it before, but only in the Mage Tower of the Cardinals.
But this time she was defeated by Sofina of the Thundering Tower, and the Karshilov family, which is equivalent to the world enemies of the Iron Nation, and what is worse is that this is the third defeat!
Prince Kaos could already imagine how demoralizing the casters of the Burning Tower would be, and how much prestige and image he had built up would plummet.
"A leader who has lost his honor will not be followed by anyone." Empress Ekana's voice didn't fluctuate, but it pierced Prince Kaos like a sharp cone, "I'll ask General Fred what you've been doing all this time." β
Prince Kaos clenched his fists at this moment, and a large amount of cold sweat overflowed from his forehead.
He swore that he had never been so flustered in his life, the last time he had defeated Prince Kaos, all he felt was unwillingness, and this time a panic that could not be expressed in words filled his heart.
Prince Kaos looked at the Iron Nation embassy in the distance, which was getting closer and closer, and he felt as if he was on his way to an execution, the embassy in the distance had turned into a guillotine, and the sharp blade stood above his neck.
The speed of the magic guide car was so fast that Prince Kaos's heart palpitated, and the moment the magic guide car stopped in front of the embassy, his body stiffened and he couldn't take a step.
"Kaos?"
Eventually, under the reminder of Empress Ekana, he stepped out of the magic car, straightened his clothes, and followed his mother into it.
"Where's General Fred?"
Empress Ekanna walked into the Iron Nation Embassy and immediately asked about the location of the old general.
"The general just left the embassy." One of the attendants hurriedly walked over and said to Empress Ekana.
"Left? Where did he go? β
"Hearthstone Tavern."
"Tavern?!
Empress Ekanna frowned slightly, she didn't think that the old general was the kind of person who would go to the tavern and degenerate himself.
"I heard from the general that it was to sign up for a certain competition." The attendant immediately told the queen more detailed information.
Kaos...... Do you know what the competition is? β
It was already ridiculous for Empress Ekanna to hear the news that General Fred was going to the tavern, what kind of game was the great general still playing in the tavern? Is he really old?
"Know... Know. Prince Kaos replied under pressure.
