36. The first round of planning
On the first day of the Crown Cup, all classes at the Crown Flower Magic Academy were suspended.
Everyone, including the teachers, is watching the progress of the crown cup.
The first round of eliminations officially begins at the eighth magic hour. After receiving the notice of the start of the competition, Zhang Xuan immediately contacted Mira and agreed to meet at the gate of the teaching building.
Then, Zhang Xuan left the dormitory and quickly went to the gate of the teaching building.
However, when he stepped out of the dormitory and had not yet left the school building area, there was a sudden vibration from the magic array on the back of his hand, reminding Zhang Xuan that there were other contestants nearby.
Zhang Xuan glanced at it, his eyes locked on the direction of eight o'clock, and a man with long hair and a first-year uniform walked out of another dormitory.
The two suddenly met unexpectedly.
This is the true meaning of the first round of the Crown Cup, as long as the contestants are within 100 meters of each other, the magic array will automatically alert the contestants and tell them that the enemy has appeared.
Zhang Xuan didn't rush up to fight the other party at the first time, because he still had to meet up with Mira now, so he didn't plan to waste time here.
So Zhang Xuan took the initiative to avoid the other party.
However, to Zhang Xuan's surprise, the long-haired man saw Zhang Xuan take the initiative to avoid it, and thought that Zhang Xuan was weak and could be bullied, so he suddenly roared angrily: "Don't run." ”
Then he strode away and quickly chased after him.
Act recklessly.
Zhang Xuan scolded angrily, and at the same time, with a flick of his right hand, a piece of freezing gas was thrown out by Zhang Xuan, and the light blue freezing gas slashed across the void, and everywhere he passed, the air was frozen, forming a layer of light blue thin ice.
The long-haired man was taken aback, his figure flashed, and he avoided the freezing air.
The cold air hit the big tree behind him, instantly freezing the big tree into ice, turning into an ice sculpture, emitting a terrifying cold air, and the air around him instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.
"If you're not afraid of death, catch up. Zhang Xuan snorted coldly and quickened his pace to leave here.
The long-haired man hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't catch up, because he had already seen that Zhang Xuan's freezing gas was so terrifying, and he was obviously not a simple character.
He didn't want to die.
Zhang Xuan walked out of the school building area and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the long-haired man hadn't caught up, in fact, the frozen gas he got just now was not his real strength at all, but it was made by using the Frost Ring.
It consumes about five scales of his own magic power, and the power is naturally extraordinary.
Even with Zhang Xuan's current strength, he has only used it dozens of times, and there is no need to consume this precious power on an unknown enemy.
Speeding up all the way, Zhang Xuan soon arrived at the gate of the teaching building.
After a while, the back of his hand vibrate, and the magic array prompted the appearance of an enemy, and when he looked up, Mira was walking towards here, and the two of them met safely.
"Are you alright, did you encounter enemies on the way? ”
"No, you. ”
Mira shook her head and asked rhetorically.
Zhang Xuan said: "I met an enemy but I got rid of it, first the price contract, this guy in the province has been shaking." ”
He waved his arm.
Mira nodded, holding up the back of her slender hand.
Zhang Xuan hit the opponent's magic array with the magic array, and the vibration stopped immediately, which meant that the two of them became allies in the first round, and even if they met, they would not shake.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Mira.
"Hide. Zhang Xuan already has a plan, "Our purpose is to help Hongyin win this game, of course, if the little lion is eliminated, it can be fine, but with the strength of the two of us, it should not be his opponent, so we have to hide now and survive the first round safely." ”
"Then, in the second round, we snatch a magic treasure and use it to deal with the lion cub and eliminate him. ”
"If it doesn't work, we'll give that little lion more trouble in the third round of the ring, drain his mana, force him out of his turf, and let Hongyin have enough strength to deal with him. ”
After listening to Zhang Xuan's analysis, Mira couldn't help but look at him in surprise, "These are all you came up with." ”
"That's right. Zhang Xuan nodded. "What do you think? ”
"Very well, I agree, so where are we hiding now? ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Don't worry, I have already chosen the location, just follow me." ”
To be honest, Zhang Xuan originally planned to take the Frost Ring and then wave it and eliminate the lion cub in the first round, but when he thought that Hongyin could hire someone to protect him, then the little lion might do the same.
Let's not say that I don't know where the little lion is at all, just say that if I find the little lion, I rush up and find that there are a lot of people around the other party......
Even if Zhang Xuan has the Frost Ring, he has to kneel.
So Zhang Xuan simply changed his plan, hid directly in the first round, and entered the second round three days later, the number of people was greatly reduced, and he grabbed a magic treasure for the first time, and then used the power of this magic treasure to directly hunt down the little lion and kick him out of the game.
So where to hide in the first round, Zhang Xuan already had an idea.
The Witch's Bar.
When Zhang Xuan came here with Mira, he found that the bar was closed in broad daylight, but he didn't care, stepped forward and knocked on the door with a bang, and walked in with Mira.
"Why are you here?" Margaret couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw Zhang Xuan walking in with Mira.
"I'll hide with you for a few days. ”
"And who is she?"
"Mira Deby, a friend of the red voice, is also a friend of mine. ”
"Hello. Mira hurriedly greeted Margaret.
Margaret nodded, not paying attention, "You're going to avoid the first round with me?"
"That's right. ”
"I thought you'd fly up and knock that lion cub out of the game. ”
Zhang Xuan said with a wry smile: "Originally, I planned to do so, but first, I don't know where the little lion is, and second, I'm not sure if he has any allies around him, if there is, I'm going to deliver food." ”
Even with the Frost Ring, it may not be able to beat a large group of people.
Speaking of which, his magic is too weak.
If his magic power expanded tenfold, he would dare to push it sideways.
By the way, the magic power in Hongyin's body is ten times that of Zhang Xuan, more than three thousand scales.
"I don't see it, you're quite cautious, I was going to see your jokes. Margaret poured Zhang Xuan a glass of wine and said.
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "Is there really someone next to that little lion?"
"More than one, he used his family's influence to recruit a total of more than thirty people, most of whom were members of the senior class, and were hunting for the lower grades. ”
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but say: "This guy is very insidious." ”
He didn't doubt Margaret's words, after all, there was no need for the other party to lie to himself about this kind of thing.
Zhang Xuan asked, "What about Hongyin, how many people did Hongyin gather?"
"Seventeen, less than half the size of the lion cub. Margaret said.
"That's a bit of a big gap. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but say. More than thirty against seventeen, if the two collide together, Hongyin will definitely suffer a big loss.
When Mira heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Margaret, she didn't know why this woman knew this, but looking at Zhang Xuan's expression, she seemed to believe this woman's words, so it was very likely that these news were true.
So Mira couldn't help but get anxious and said, "Let's go help Hongyin." ”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, "No, even if the two of us rush to Hongyin's side, we can't defeat so many people, except for sending people's heads, there is no point, whether it is you or me, there is no way to help Hongyin turn the tables, so we still follow the original plan." ”
Mira thought about it and couldn't help but calm down.
Zhang Xuan continued: "What's more, Hongyin is not a fool, if she can't fight, she will definitely run away, with her strength, it is very likely to enter the second round, don't worry too much." ”
Mira nodded, "Well, that's right, I believe in Hongyin, I won't lose so quickly." ”
So the two of them stayed at the witch's bar.
From morning to afternoon, no one had ever entered the bar, so the two of them spent the day peacefully.
As the sun sets, the afterglow is about to disappear.
Margaret suddenly called Zhang Xuan over, "When the sunset is completely gone, my bar will be connected to another world, you two go outside for a walk, and come back after I close the door in the evening." ”
Zhang Xuan didn't make a difference, "Why?" ”
"I don't want irrelevant people to know my secrets here. Margaret said.
"When I first came, it seems that you didn't drive me away. Zhang Xuan recalled the scene of the first meeting.
Margaret glanced at him and said, "That's because the day before, Hongyin came to me to intercede with me, and I agreed to her, otherwise you think I'll let you see that?"
"Then I'll go first, can't you plead?"
"No, I can't. Margaret refused very firmly.
"Why?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
"Because she's not a witch. ”
"I'm not a witch either. ”
Margaret didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile, Zhang Xuan suddenly reacted, in the eyes of Hongyin and Margaret, although he was not a witch, he was a witch.
Although this title is a bit weird, in the eyes of Hongyin and Margaret, like them, she is born with superpowers and has the qualifications to join this circle.
But Mira can't, she's not a witch, even if Zhang Xuan intercedes, Margaret won't let her join this circle, let alone let her see the real other world.
In desperation, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to call Mira aside and said, "Margaret has something to do, we may have to leave here and not be able to come back until the evening." ”
Mira didn't ask why, but agreed with kindness.
"Okay, where are we going?"
