Chapter 13: The Mage Duel on Paper

Xi Xiangyu originally planned to rest normally, but when he temporarily re-read "The Complete Book of the Death of the Missionary Master", he felt a deep chill.

The death methods of more than 60 missionary mages in history are more strange than the other, which makes Xi Xiangyu feel that being a preacher mage is equivalent to setting up a huge flag that will definitely die, and he is determined to get rid of this huge black cauldron as soon as possible.

"So, Elena, are you interested in the position of Missionary?"

"You will definitely be lonely for the rest of your life, can you be more obvious if you want to throw the pot at me?"

Elenia looked at the thin book of the Missionary Mage's Death on the table, and instantly understood the idea of happy meetingβ€”he just wanted to succeed and let others worry about the risk of the Missionary Mage.

"I don't want to do it, I want to change positions, what's the point I can't say? It's a thing you want me to do, you want me to throw in the towel in your challenge to me, and if you don't want me to find someone else. The obligations of a preacher are equal to the risks and benefits, and you should think for yourself before accepting them. 」

β€œ...... Okay, you're right, but I don't accept that you throw in the duel, and I don't think I'll lose to you under the same conditions, my dignity and pride as a mage are inviolable! The last time you fought with me, you used those rune cards, isn't that cheating?"

Once again, Elenia didn't know how to refute the fallacy of the happy encounter, and then became serious.

As a member of the noble elven clan, she inherited her family's arcane research, and at the age of just over a hundred years, she mastered a large amount of mid-level magic and became a fourth-order mage. In the last few months, he has grown even more from his travels outside the academy, learning several fifth-order magics.

Under the conditions of reciprocity, how could Elenia lose to the half-spellcaster of Joy Encounter?

"Of course, I admit that I am far from being your opponent now. Rune Cast, World Tree, Jelly Series, Mecha and New Magic Items...... I won't be able to surpass either one in the short term, but I'll surpass yours sooner or later. ”

"I don't think I can wait for that day......

Happily meeting the helpless spread his hands and began to take out two blank pieces of paper and two pens and a few dice from the dimensional bag, even if Elenia thought that one day in his lifetime he would be able to surpass him, he would not live that long.

There was no need for him to continue in the position of Evangelist, and he himself did not want to stay any longer.

"So, let's play a game, shall we?"

"Games?"

"That's right, since you think that you are not inferior to me under the same conditions, then you and I will simulate the spell duel of a ninth-order mage on paper. If you win the position of Evangelist, it will be yours, and I will give you a little more gift that you can use to protect yourself. 」

Faced with a second invitation to meet happily, Elenia found that she was really moved.

There is not a single mage who does not want to be able to rise to become a mage one day, but most of them do not have the talent and luck.

And once talent, luck, self-confidence and ambition are the same, no one will refuse such an opportunity.

Simulating a 9th Order Mage battle on paper is undoubtedly a fairly fair way to due, and Elenia doesn't think she has the potential to lose at all!

The most important thing is that she is able to fight a fair game with Xi Xiang in this way!

Looking at Elenia's combative eyes, she smiled and explained the rules of the game.

1. Both sides are Tier 9 mages, with 60 health points, 258 units of mana, and each tier also has 6 spell slots, and you can choose 11 specialties at will.

PS1: As a human, you can choose an additional 1 specialty, and Elenia, as an elven mage, can prepare an additional 9-level spell every day.

2. Both sides can choose 10 arcane spells as their known spells at each level, but individual rare spells will occupy additional known slots.

PS2: Elenia as an Elven Mage can have an additional 20 known slots.

3. Levels 1 to 9 magic require 2n-1 mana, and each additional 1 unit of mana is spent for each cast level, up to a maximum of 20. After the two sides select the known, the spell data in the Missionary Mage's database will be used as the basis for judging the specific effect of the spell.

Fourth, the happy encounter has all the abilities of the preacher mage.

5. The rest of the rules are the same as the rules of the real-life spell duel.

"Well, it's a simple game, isn't it?"

After putting the rules on two pieces of paper, I took out the research materials of the pastors and put them on the table.

"It's just a piece of paper, but it's a bit of a fun game...... Let's get started!"

Elenia's understanding of arcane arts was so deep and broad that she didn't need to look up the books to check the magic and effects, and it didn't take long for her to set up her own specialty, knowledge, and spell slots.

Happy Encounters casually wrote about the spells and abilities that he used to feel good in the past.

"You don't want to do anything casual in this game, so even if I win, your result won't count. Come on, let's decide again!"

"Don't worry, you won't be able to see even if I do release the water. 」

After all, playing this kind of game with you is a serious release of water, looking at the fighting spirit of Elenia, happy to meet and fail to say the second half of the sentence.

At the beginning of the duel, in the first round, she used three consecutive prayers to catch Elenia off guard, and the spell she prepared did not have the desired effect at all.

"What kind of play are you, how can a mage waste such a magic power!?"

"I've always been so unrestrained. 」

In just the first round, 60 units of mana were consumed in one go, leaving the happy encounter with only 198 units of mana.

Although Elenia will prevent the continuous prayer technique of the happy encounter, she is at an absolute disadvantage.

Elenia thought to herself that it was impossible for the happy encounter to continue like this forever, and he could only use it 9 more times if he kept using the 9th order magic, and inferred that he would never continue to waste his magic like this next time.

So she was able to meet Xi Xiang head-to-head normally in this round to regain the disadvantage.

......

On the contrary, Joy Encounter has a strong intuition that can counter Elenia's prediction, so she judges that Joy Encounter will continue to waste magic!

Therefore, in the second round, Elenia used magic to jump out of the main material plane to temporarily avoid the limelight.

However, Xi Xiangyu only used three mid-level spells to strengthen the protection and completely gave up the attack.

"You can judge my actions based on my intuition, but my intuition is that I directly predict the outcome, and you should have reversed your judgment at the last moment. 」
