Chapter 4: The Trial of the Successor, Section 8
"I don't want to make such an announcement, but ...... The outcome is obvious, and there is little room for negotiation. ”
The elven messenger shook his head helplessly, revealing a full of doubts in the eye contact with Claude.
Claude bit his lower lip stubbornly, and the child's aggrieved look made people look even more pitiful. But this is the arena, and you can't survive on compassion. Even Lucian was ready to comfort him and waited for Claude to step down.
Zero stars?
This means that this is the end of becoming a successor in this trial.
The voices of ridicule and abuse began to rise and fall from the previous embarrassing scene, and even Tereshi, who was full of confidence in betting a hundred gold in the audience, frowned, but he couldn't understand the current situation.
"Oh, you see that kid seems to have hit a bottleneck. ”
Diana, who had been quiet before, suddenly came to her senses, bent on her waist, her elbows supported on her legs, and her hands crossed against her chin, looking at it with interest.
"The results are really surprising. Terami shook his head calmly, and said in his heart, "How could Queen Maritia care about a scrap of wood?"
"No, no, I don't think so. Diana glanced at Terami with a smile and continued, "I don't think this kid is that good. ”
Tellamy's face was angry, and he was about to have a seizure thinking "how can he be favoring such a mediocre child", but he found that Diana beside him had left her seat. This made the already irritable Tellami stand up directly, and when he looked around, he realized that the woman was already standing in the assessment hall where Claude was.
"Wait a minute, this friend. ”
Diana stretched out her hand to stop the elven messenger who was about to close the coffin, and continued, "Don't rush to make a conclusion yet. You are all limited by these rules. Maybe this was a miscalculation in the first place?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Of course, most people at the scene, including the elven messenger, didn't know where Diana was sacred, but it was no surprise to quietly appear in the middle of the venue surrounded by guards and supervised by the ultimate mentor. Many people have also noticed that this woman has been sitting on the same level as the four ultimate masters before.
"Who is she?"
"I don't know...... Haven't seen her. ”
"The Fifth Ultimate Mentor?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's a character like Lord Xiu Bodu......"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know why, even the elven messenger couldn't help but look back at the Ultimate Master in the high place, and even Sivir, who was already standing at the end of the crowd, raised his head, and his expression was not relaxed.
Terami was furious, but was persuaded by Xiu Bodu on the side. After seeing the courtesy of the referee on the spot, he nodded and acquiesced to what was happening on the field.
Diana noticed this, and she turned her head slightly, then turned her gaze to the unknown crowd around her. She paced up to Claude, took the staff for the assessment, looked it up and down, and said:
Indeed, this staff has been used for thousands of years to help test the magical talents of test takers. Of course, nine out of ten people apply to the magic contained in it. The white tree, the essence of the White Forest, is a great choice for crafting magic items. Coupled with Queen Maritea's ancient magical powers, the most hidden magical talents are often revealed, allowing you to manipulate elemental magic without using any spells.
"But I would say that this approach is not entirely correct. ”
Diana made a loud noise, and there were many unknown people in the audience, all scratching their ears and cheeks, and turning their heads to each other.
"What's wrong with this approach?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
In response to everyone's questions, Diana waved her hand to signal quietness, and then explained: "Sorry, I didn't use the right words. I should say not exactly. There's nothing wrong with this method per se, but it's only suitable for 90% of people. And this ......" she put her hand on Claude's shoulder, turned her gaze to Claude, and continued, "Your name is Claude, right. You won't be able to use that power. ”
There was an uproar at the scene, and the child named "Claude" once again caused an uproar. Some people are desperately guessing his background, and others are cursing this pie-in-the-sky injustice.
Standing on the high platform, Tellami couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Full of nonsense!"
Claude didn't know why, so he just stared at the strange woman in front of him. His first impression of her was not very good, for Claude noticed that this Diana had a slightly cold aura all over her body. But after all, the woman was talking for him, so Claude pursed his lips and just listened quietly.
Diana smiled and stroked the back of the boy's head in front of her, and continued, "Maybe if I say that, everyone will be very dissatisfied." But coincidentally, haven't you already seen a precedent before? It's just that she was smarter, and she knew that she couldn't use this staff from the beginning, so she said it early. At that time, your feedback was not like that. ”
This remark once again stunned everyone, and it took a while to react, and the "precedent" in her mouth was none other than Sivir, who won five stars in this project.
In front of the Ultimate Mentor stage, even Ice Blue stood up.
Her words may not be true. "Ice Blue said coldly.
"What do you mean by that?" Terami asked.
However, Bing Lan only replied silently, because she was not completely sure about this statement. Ice Blue only vaguely remembers that there is a similar record of this kind of situation in a certain ancient book, and some special bloodline races have a congenital rejection of some guiding magic because of their strong magical talents. However, under the premise of such content, there is no record of actual examples.
"Maybe it is. However, from the perspective of scholars, there is no record of actual examples to support it, and this statement is just empty talk for the time being. Sergarin said.
"Does this kid really have that kind of talent? If it's true, then I can't hope for it......" Bing Lan said in a deep voice.
Sergarin said: "And, the terrible thing is that if he also has this talent, this year alone, there can be two geniuses at the same time." This kind of talent can be compared to the ancient elf mage! one of them obviously has excellent warrior potential...... It's really worth looking into. ”
Terami snorted coldly and remained silent. For an extremely arrogant person, admitting that others are stronger is nothing more than an extremely difficult challenge, and while Ice Blue and Sergarin can say that calmly, Terami is absolutely impossible.
"It's just empty talk for now. ”
Terami's complaint was only for him to hear.
Diana leaned down, leaned closer to Claude, and whispered, "I suggest you use that sword." ”
"Huh?" Claude exclaimed, "I...... With a sword? no, no, no, you're mistaken, I'...... I'm afraid I can't do it......"
Claude's answer made Diana laugh, her words were obvious enough, but the child in front of her seemed to be a little natural, or he didn't understand what she was talking about, and then Yingying laughed and said, "So, are you willing to give up being the heir?"
This made Claude a little anxious, and then he straightened up, took the starlight sword from his back, and said solemnly: "No, I won't give up like this!"
"That's right. ”
Diana affirmed, then straightened up and took a few steps back. Three containers reappeared in front of Claude.
However, Claude didn't realize that Diana's attention stayed on the Starlight Sword long enough.
To him, she's just a kind but weird big sister.
Diana glanced around again. She had patrolled the high platform countless times, but she still did it. On this trip, she was desperately looking for something.
"Don't be dead...... That's really going to take a lot of fun......"
Diana thought to herself.
