After that, three or four more challengers appeared one after another, but most of these people were very limited in strength, and they were all mid- and low-level warriors and mages. Xiao Chen estimated that if he himself, Luo Ling and any one of Ye Zi or Li Jia, would have a good chance of winning.

The Marquis Francisco said: "If there is no one else on the scene who wants to join the challenge of questioning, then we are going to start a formal duel." ”

"Wait. A cold female voice spoke.

"Layla?" even Master Kona was a little surprised this time, and it was Master Layla from the Tower of Ice who spoke.

"I'm sorry, I didn't greet you beforehand about this. Layla bowed slightly to Master Korna and Master Gordon.

"But your hurt ......," Master Kona said again.

"It's been two months, I've gotten a lot better, do I still need to care about that when I fight with a high-level mage?"

"Why, Layla, what does this have to do with the Tower of Ice?" asked Master Gordon.

"It has nothing to do with the Tower of Ice. This is my private matter. She said.

Master Gordon wanted to say something, but Master Kona pulled Master Gordon and shook his head slightly.

Master Layla pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward. A Grand Magician joins the challenge, much to the delight of the guests.

"Master Layla, are you going to participate in the Questioning Challenge?" Marquis Francisco was very calm, although it had been five years since Layla had become a great mage, and Xiao Chen and the others had not even been a high-level mage for five months, so it seemed a bit like the big was bullying the small. But questioning the challenge has always been a real battle of interests, and even the Sages have been killed.

Layla glanced at the king, who was sitting high above, and replied, "That's right. ”

————————————————

Xiao Chen glanced at his companions around him, Luo Ling's expression was calm, and he couldn't see his thoughts, Ye Zi was eager to try, Li Jia frowned, and most of the others also looked solemn.

After he was promoted to the higher ranks, he had a deeper understanding of the magical path behind him. Before, I only knew that the Great Magician was very powerful, but now that it was still a realm away from them, I really realized where their strength was.

Although Layla is not a first-class level among the great mages, there is still a big difference between the high level and the master level, the realm of the high mage is spiritual resonance, and she can begin to analyze the structure of matter through spiritual power, which is still at the stage of touching objects. And a master-level magician can already be able to open his mind and influence his surroundings with his thoughts, emotions and will, a powerful mage like Master Kona, as long as he has a thought, he can influence the emotions of a room of ordinary people, he infects them with sad emotions, they will cry, he inspires them with happy emotions, they will laugh. The archmages have begun to move from touching objects to touching the rules.

And the female mage in front of her, who exudes a chill all over her body, doesn't know how strong she can be?

"She was injured that night, and it is said that her mind was polluted by magic, and she is not in good shape. Garno came over at some point and whispered to Xiao Chen.

"Oh, are you saying that she was injured when her mind was released?" The so-called mind is polluted by magic power, according to Xiao Chen's understanding, it is very similar to the invasion of the heart demon in Xianxia. When the Great Magician fights with all his might, he uses his mind to interfere with the surrounding world and opponents, and naturally he is in a more dangerous situation, and if his mind is disturbed by the surrounding forces, he will be injured.

"Well, this kind of injury is very difficult to deal with. Maybe...... Now she's only half as strong as she was in her heyday. ”

—————————————————

The white-haired archmage walked up to the challengers who were already in the ranks, and everyone saluted her. Arus of the Tower of a Thousand Thoughts said respectfully, "Master Layla, we are all at your command. ”

"Good. Let's get started. ”

Marquis Francisco said: "According to the rules of questioning challenges, His Majesty decides the way of the competition, and then the challenger will first arrange the candidates for the duel, and then the recipient will send the personnel to deal with it." He turned to the king and asked, "May I ask how Your Majesty intends to arrange the duel, whether it is a duel of life and death, a duel of actual combat, or a duel of skill?"

The so-called life-and-death duel is naturally the goal of both sides to kill each other. Actual combat duels are not allowed to injure the opponent's life, but all combat methods can be used, including various equipment items. Skill duels are contested according to the individual requirements specified by the kingdom. Both sides are only more than one skill, and there will be many limitations.

"Duel of skills. Neither side is allowed to use magic items and equipment. For each duel, according to the situation of the two sides, I will arrange the content of the competition. The king said that in his opinion, Master Layla would definitely be able to win a game, but the other two high-level players might not be able to win against the two high-level Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, after all, these two guys showed a lot of skills in the New Year's event, and they still had the strange book of Demian in their hands.

On the challenger side, the order of the lineup is Arus of the Tower of a Thousand Thoughts, Layla of the Tower of Ice, and Savah of the Legaretta family.

Xiao Chen and the others gathered together to discuss.

Li Jia said: "Do we want to use the method of Tian Ji horse racing? I'm going to fight against that Leila, it's a big deal to surrender." Xiao Chen, the two of you high-level each dealt with one of the opponent's high-level. This will be a bit bigger. ”

Xiao Chen said: "Li Jia, your idea was wrong from the beginning. Do you think that the other side is using this funny duel just to prevent us from obtaining a fief? Isn't it true that we will not be able to survive if the king does not have a fief? Today Count Carlos said to me that whether we are canonized or not, we will survive in that land, and there is nothing wrong with that!

The purpose of our coming here is to find a stage for us Chinese to appear! to gain attention, gain fame, and finally get various opportunities for exchange and trade. Therefore, we must win beautifully when we win, and we must lose hard when we lose, so that others can see that our strength and value are more important than winning or losing. So, never think about flattering things. ”

"Well, I see, it's my little family who is angry. Li Jia nodded in agreement.

"I'll deal with Layla. Priest Garneau had just told me that she had suffered mental damage and that perhaps I could play to my advantage. Arus will be handed over to Luo Ling, this way of competition may be smaller than direct combat counterattack, but if your magic counterattack is too strong, don't hold it hard. The last person ......" Xiao Chen's gaze circled around Li Jia, Liu Pengfei, Xiao Dui and Ye Zi, and finally stopped at Ye Zi, who was full of fighting spirit, "It's still Ye Zi, you are a real demonic and martial arts double cultivator, a middle-level warrior and a low-level mage, you may not be able to fight with the high-level, but if you need to fight directly, don't use that gun, there are many people here, and it's easy to get into trouble." ”

"Okay, senior, I've got some experience in using magic to assist in combat, so it's up to me when the time comes. ”

"Good. Then you don't have any opinions, right?" asked Xiao Chen.

"I have an opinion. Luo Ling said.
