The conversation was almost over, and Benjamin smiled and left, trying to get acquainted with the other mages at the party. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's probably because he really doesn't have much fame here, and it's not easy to say who he is. As a result, not all mages are as talkative as Jack and the "Viper" mercenary group, and Benjamin still finds it a little difficult.

After walking around, he found that battle mages were much easier to talk to than potion mages. Probably because those people huddled in the hut every day to refine medicine, and over time, they didn't bother to talk to others.

However, with his cheeky spirit, coming and going in the crowd, he finally became familiar with the mage circle in Riley City. Most people know that there are some new mages in the city, and the one at the head is called Benjamin.

-- This is the first step to having your own influence.

And this whole mage gathering is not the end of everyone coming to eat, drink and chat, and soon, Benjamin also realized that after a full meal, Master Finch has also prepared a lot of activities.

"I don't know if you're having a good time tonight. He walked up the stairs and addressed the people in the hall, "Now, as the old saying goes, we're recruiting apothecaries, and you're welcome to join us. As long as you can master most of the primary potion refining, we have the best treatment here. ”

Along with his words, some of the mages also had eager expressions on their faces.

Benjamin understood why Mage Finch was so willing to spend money. In a sense, this is a two-in-one advertising fair and a job fair, right? In this way, he can maintain his reputation and keep his potions shop prosperous.

Although it is simple and crude...... However, it is indeed a very effective way.

Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if he released the name of the perpetrator of the water polo in his royal capital, would there be a mage who would come to him?

Unfortunately, before someone defects, it will only be the enemy who will come faster.

"After that, it's our usual activity, and I think all kinds of mages can't wait. At the same time, Finch stood on the stairs and continued his words, "In order to promote the progress of our mages in Riley City, the battle will begin soon, and the winning mage can exchange a silver coin for a spell from the losing mage. Challenge the mage who has won the most battles to get my half-price discount on all potion shops nationwide, which can be enjoyed for half a year, and I hope you will enjoy it more. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin was a little embarrassed.

This business is also done to the extreme.

However, aside from the marketing role of the whole event, he also thinks that the concept of one silver coin for one spell is quite good. Objectively speaking, it can indeed promote the improvement of the overall level of mages. Personally, this rule is exactly what Benjamin wants.

How much money can he save by switching to a few more spells!

Not to mention, he can also show his skills a little and slowly play out his influence, lest he still be like a nobody, and no one will pay attention to talking to people.

And just like that, after the rules were announced, some servants also came out and guided the mages through several corridors to the backyard.

The villa's backyard is also surprisingly large, providing an environment for the mages who are about to fight. The whole decoration has the feeling of a tennis court, with barbed wire fences strengthened by enchantment, separating no less than 20 courts to ensure the safety of the competition.

The mages gathered outside the barbed wire, and several impatient mages had already stepped out and challenged the other mages.

After thinking about it, Benjamin walked over to the "Viper" mercenary group and patted Jack.

"How about it? Would you like to go up and give it a try?"

Jack laughed and said, "Awesome, so bold, although I can't compare with those cows, but I can be regarded as making my own reputation." Come up and challenge me, are you really?"

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll just challenge it, it's about participating." ”

When Jack heard this, he naturally didn't dissuade anything, and agreed to come down.

After reporting to the servant in charge of statistics, the two entered the barbed wire, found a field, closed the door, and stood at each end of the "tennis court".

"After all, it's a new guest, so you should do it first. Jack said.

When Benjamin heard this, he didn't bother to excuse himself, recited the incantation, and began the competition.

The competition between mages is not like a life-and-death struggle, and it will definitely not amplify the moves, and it is generally a shield to bombard, and whoever can't bombard will admit defeat, so no one will be hurt.

Benjamin, however, does not intend to take this approach.

He didn't know how the other people were fighting, they were all on the field, and he definitely didn't plan to challenge just one person, and he definitely had to exchange for a few more spells. Therefore, he didn't want to use magic against the bombardment, which was too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

With a faint fluctuation of mana, he didn't take the shield first, but summoned a few water bombs, threw them with a flick of his hand.

Seeing this, Jack also recited the incantation. Accompanied by the sudden rise of the stone wall, the water bomb hit it and exploded, but it did not destroy the stone wall.

"Don't be tempted, just ......," he began, as if to say something, but was interrupted by the next twist.

I saw that the splash from the water bomb suddenly seemed to be controlled, forming several streams of water, bypassing the stone wall and rushing towards Jack.

Jack's face changed suddenly, and he quickly recited a spell, summoning a circle of sand to form a sand ball, protecting the 360-degree without dead ends, trying to resist the flexible rushing water.

Seeing this, Benjamin also smiled slightly and continued to manipulate the magic. And just like that, despite being kept out, the current formed a large balloon that enveloped Jack and his sand ball.

With that, the entire water balloon spun wildly, forming a water vortex prison.

Looking at this scene, Benjamin suddenly relaxed and regained his calm expression, as if he had foreseen his victory.

As for Jack, who was caught in a water balloon......

"This—This is ......"

At the moment when he was trapped by the water balloon, Jack froze.

In this case, his instinctive reaction was to break through, but when he wanted to continue to use magic and break the water ball, he suddenly found that his sense of the elements seemed to be cut off.

Needless to say, the earth element that he is most familiar with, at this moment, the only element he can sense is water. But out of nowhere, the strong repulsion force made him unable to control those water elements.

That is, this water polo made him almost an ordinary person.

Suddenly, hidden in the sand ball, Jack showed a stunned face.

This...... What kind of magic is this?

After being a mage for so many years, he had never heard of such strange magic in this world.

Of course, at this moment, the result is self-evident.

With the impact of the water flowing back and forth, the sand ball that protected Jack was crumbling, and he couldn't use any magic to protect himself at the moment. So, with a look of disbelief, he shouted surrender in the sandball.

"I ...... I throw in the towel!"

Hearing this, Benjamin also nodded, and the magic was lifted, and the water ball turned into a water element again and dissipated into the air. The sand ball also dissipated, revealing a bewildered Jack in the middle of the clearing.
