Chapter 49: Preparation
Bloody Deathmatch is also a revenge rule formulated by the Ashes Council in order to avoid the casualties of official wizards, under this rule, it is indeed good to preserve the lives of official wizards, at the cost of the apprentice's life.
In every bloody deathmatch, there must be the death of an apprentice, and it is extremely common for both sides to die together, and there are a total of seven bloody deathmatches recorded by the Ashes Council, the highest one, the mortality rate of the apprentices on both sides is as high as 95%, and the lowest casualty rate is more than 80%.
None of the apprentices will survive on the losing side, and very few will survive on the victorious side.
Therefore, the bloody deathmatch is a nightmare for all apprentices, because death is predictable, and it is completely out of their control, even the most powerful apprentice can only helplessly pray for the help of Lady Luck in front of it.
However, in front of the El Lodge scales that dominates the bloody deathmatch, Lady Luck will also seem so powerless.
The El Lodge Scales are a magical witchcraft wielding the Speaker of the Ember Council, and wizards of the House of Souls and the Tower of Nightmares can project their powers onto this scale in various forms.
This projection can be a demonized item, but it can be a sorcery scroll, or it can be amplified sorcery or shelter sorcery.
If there is a standard definition of the power of these projections, it is a high-level demonic item, and each power projection will have the same power as a high-level demonic item.
In a separate duel, this is almost a force that can change the balance of power between the two sides.
Each projection wizard is free to choose the target of their own power blessing, and usually they will choose those apprentices who seem to be more powerful, because the stronger the blessing target, the more meaningful the blessing becomes.
Lions eat meat only with their tusks, while sheep only use them to eat grass even if they do.
The more powerful the wizard is, the more power he can project, and the power that a first-order wizard can project can manifest one to three parts of the power, and of course, if the projected wizard is willing to pay some extra price, this number can be increased a little.
A second-order wizard can project more than ten powers, and a powerful second-order wizard can project nearly twenty powers.
In the case that the number of wizards on both sides is almost the same, one more second-order wizard can almost pronounce the death sentence of the other party.
The El Lodge Balance believes in equivalent exchange, under its power, in addition to the power projected, other wizards can give help to their apprentices, but any help requires the person being helped to pay a corresponding price, which can be a magic crystal, or even a life.
After learning the rules of Bloody Deathmatch, Ron spent the next month giving all his time to the lab.
He needs to make himself look stronger, this strength can make him win more favor from the wizards of the Tower of Nightmares, so that he can be blessed with more power, and every additional power blessing will give him more hope of victory, and at the same time, hope of survival.
In front of the wizard, the power of the apprentice seemed so insignificant.
Laboratory Seventy-Seven, compared to before Ron's arrival, has changed a lot, whether it is more sophisticated experimental instruments or a new witch array on the test bench, it means that the Nightmare Tower affirms his alchemy, and the change in the laboratory has brought about a rapid progress in the progress of the experiment and a sharp increase in the success rate.
As a result, a large number of magic crystals began to flow out of the seventy-seventh laboratory, and a large number of materials flowed back into the laboratory, which would be more precious and rare, but Ron no longer needed to put up a bounty, he already had his own source of materials.
Unlike in the past, every few days, someone would come to the lab's meeting room at Ron's invitation for a brief exchange with Ron.
For the first few days, there would be people looking at Ron with suspicion, but when they saw the parchment that Ron had taken out, this suspicion quickly turned into excitement and ecstasy, so they willingly took out the demon sealing box in their arms, which contained the things that Ron named and needed to exchange.
Ron's rest time began to get shorter and shorter, even for days on end, and whenever he was tired, a stamina potion could allow Ron to continue working in the lab for a whole day.
More and more people came to Ron, but Ron didn't have more time to entertain them, and only invited them into the lab during a brief break when the elves cleaned up the test bench after an experiment was over.
At first, there will be reckless guys who will disturb Ron's experiments, but they will soon be dragged from the lab by angry waiters and thrown to the end of the line.
After doing this a few times, these reckless guys finally learned to line up.
Some smart people realize that this is Ron preparing for Bloody Deathmatch, so when they can't come up with what Ron has specified, they will come up with something they find tempting instead, such as crossing Ron's name from the Bloody Deathmatch list, on the condition that they serve their family forever.
Then they will see Ron's stubborn and stubborn side, and they will have to leave in a huff.
A month was a long time, to the point that some of the apprentices who knew they were going to take part in a bloody deathmatch could not resist the torment of waiting and fled, and then were captured and thrown into the prison of bones.
A month was too short for Ron to fully digest the line in front of the lab.
Some people are crazy, some people are calm, and the bloody deathmatch that is so suppressed that it has shown its hideous fangs to all the apprentices before it comes.
Ron slowly looked up when the magic clock hanging by the wall rang crisply, and he knew that a month had passed.
Stopping the unfinished experiment in his hand, Ron returned to his room, standing in front of a falling crystal realm and carefully examining the man in the glasses, in just a few months, he was already thinner than before, and he had not seen the sun for a long time, which made his originally delicate face have a sickly pale, his cheeks had sunken slightly, and his eye sockets had sunken deeply, the only thing that remained unchanged was the raging flame in the depths of his eyes, just like the day he became Elvis's apprentice.
After drinking a bottle of convulsive potion, Ron fell into a deep sleep, this time without a magic clock to wake up, because he didn't need it anymore.
This night Ron slept deeply, and didn't even dream like before, because he knew that he had done everything he could, so he was no longer afraid and afraid.
It wasn't until a dull horn sounded that Ron slowly woke up from his slumber that he knew a bloody deathmatch was coming.
