readx;? Therefore, the rejection is caused by the magic skill itself, that is, it is caused by the fluctuation of the magic pattern. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are some ripples in the magic patterns of magic skills of the same attribute, which can have a repellent effect on magic of the same attribute, and can also repel the mage's body.

If you can eliminate the repulsive parts of your magic skills and design effective magic, then you can hit yourself with magic.

In this regard, there have been great mages who have done it, and that is auxiliary magic, such as holy healing.

What about magic with different attributes?

Raphael cast his magic again, this time a bone needle, a holy flame.

After sensing the moment, Raphael threw bone needles and flames into a no-man's corner on the side of the street.

"Bang!" the smallest attack magic of the two systems collided and exploded, blasting a small crater into the ground.

Raphael's brow furrowed.

He had already discovered that there was no problem of repulsion between magic patterns with different attributes.

But even so, there is the problem of elemental repulsion, who dares to say that the light element and the necromantic element are not mutually exclusive?

But the bone needle and the holy flame collided.

It seems that the problem is still in the elements!

With a movement of his mind, Raphael used the Pure Soul to capture a light element, a necromantic element, and carefully observe.

It's absolutely true that these two elements are inherently mutually exclusive.

However, the repulsion of the two elemental ripples is only part of the story. Not all. There are actually some ripples between them that attract each other, but the fluctuations of such ripples are so weak that they are almost negligible.

However, the imprint of mental power can change this contrast between strength and weakness.

After being imprinted by the spirit, the ripple fluctuations of the repulsive part of these two elements actually weakened greatly, but the ripple fluctuations of the attraction-absorbing part were greatly enhanced.

I see!

In this case, between the magic of different attributes, the magic pattern repulsion and the elemental repulsion will not exist.

In the process of casting the Bone Needle and the Holy Flame, all the elements contained in the Bone Needle and the Holy Flame were in the resonance of the Demon Vein, carrying his spiritual imprint, of course, this spiritual imprint existed for a short time.

But this is enough, this short-term spiritual imprint makes the magic of different attributes extremely weakened, but the attraction is greatly increased.

The attraction strengthened, causing the holy spear and the bone spur to collide closely, and the magic burst out.

After the magic erupts, the binding force of the spiritual imprint loses its effect, and the elements of different attributes instantly recover their strong repulsion, forming a stronger burst of power.

This is that the tighter the press, the greater the rebound.

Raphael thought of this and finally understood, no wonder the demon veins are faintly symbiotic and mutually reinforcing, no wonder the elements of nature are mixed with each other.

It seems that there is something in common between everything, no matter how extreme and opposite they may seem.

Thinking all the way, it wasn't until he entered Vera's magic tower that Raphael stopped thinking.

Led by the receptionist, he met Vera.

Vera sat there lazily, her eyes as blue as the sea with a hint of melancholy.

Raphael said curiously, "Little Vera, what's wrong with you? ”

Vera said: "Little Sissi is going to play in the country, and I can't stop her, I can't always take care of her, I should let her go outside to experience more, but I don't want her to become like those nasty people." ”

Raphael told Vera about the situation, and said, "I proposed that little Sissi be transferred, and I can't help it." ”

Vera thought about it, put aside her thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the sect is still very stable, and there shouldn't be any problems." I called you here to let you participate in the academy competition, and you must know the prizes. Your enemy, Trey, begged me to let you compete, saying he wanted to fight you or something, and I think he wanted to kill you. ”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal bottle and said, "Take this drop of demonic liquid, it was Trey who bribed me, although this thing is not sky-high, but it will be used by people as soon as it appears, and it usually takes chance to encounter it." ”

Of course, Raphael liked the Liquid of the Sky, too, although the method of obtaining it was cruel. He happily picked it up and put it away.

A better understanding of the space is undoubtedly very important for mages.

However, Raphael didn't want to participate, and the academy might be stronger warriors, but many mages who had only participated in some trials were miserable when they fought, so they said, "Can you not go?"

Vera said: "Are you still afraid of them? I have accepted bribes as the dean, so I must have some credibility, right? The benefits are given to you, and the reward for the first place is very good, and it will not hurt you." ”

The Silent Forehead Ornament is indeed a good thing!

Raphael rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll participate." ”

Vera took out a badge: "This badge allows you to enter and exit the magic tower freely, I heard that you have been staying in a hotel, so you can sleep with me in the future, I will arrange a room for you." ”

Raphael nodded, and followed her to a room on the top floor of the Magic Tower.

After Vera left, Raphael thought of the information given by Dresy and took it out to study.

These are just a few maps, which show the buildings belonging to the church near the imperial capital, and most of them are clearly understood, except for one building in the hill near the south of the city, whose name is not indicated.

The building was patterned, and it looked like a bunker, and Raphael's eyes lit up as he remembered what James had said.

That's it, there's nowhere else it fits except here.

After putting away the picture, Raphael cultivated, and his understanding of the power of the soul became more and more profound, which made him more purposeful and confident in his cultivation.

The next day, after Raphael's morning practice, he went to the registration office to register.

The official registration has just begun, and this is for the sake of fairness in the grouping, and it must not start until all the students have arrived.

The registration office is a small building on the college square, where there is already a long queue.

Trey and Lunn came early, they had already signed up, and they were waiting here to see if Rafael would sign up.

The two smiled when they saw Raphael and left.

Raphael shrugged his shoulders, and where would care about them, he was at the back of the long line.

Out of boredom, he casually looked around, and a bright purple at the front of the line attracted him.

Raphael immediately stopped lining up, ran over, and said, "Oh, dear, help me get my place, I'm not late, am I?"

Emilia rolled her lovely eyes, and before she could speak, a roar erupted in unison: "Get out!"

When everyone wants to do something, what is the most hateful?

Cut in line!

Raphael pulled his neck and shouted, "You are jealous of me!"

Saying that, he sneakily avoided the sight of the people behind him, took out a few gold coins, and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the person behind Emilia, and said, "Brother, take care of it, hehe." ”

The man saw that he was taking advantage of it, nodded and agreed.

As soon as the person agreed, the people behind him did not know the situation and complained, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure.

Emilia laughed, "You're so thick-skinned. ”

Raphael smiled and said, "The opportunity must be grasped by yourself, if people are not shameless, God will not be able to save them." ”

Once the registration is over, the Empire Classic officially begins.

The Imperial Elite Competition, regardless of the high and low groups, can be participated in by students within five years of enrollment, and if the strength is not enough, either admit defeat or simply do not sign up.

The academy thinks that this arrangement is very reasonable, if you encounter a battle in the field, who will care about your level? are all students, and those who have studied for a long time should naturally have more opportunities, which is very fair, just like the Arcane competition of St. Vide Academy.

However, there are still some rules in the game, as long as one side admits defeat, or loses combat effectiveness, the game will end, and whoever wants to continue to attack will be stopped by the referee mentor and severely punished the malicious attacker.

But the deaths caused during the game, that is no one cares. Obviously, the strength is much weaker than the other party, and there is a chance to admit defeat, but if you hold on to death, who is to blame if you die?

As for the competition itself, it is still very attractive, and the students all believe that once they get a high ranking in the competition, they will definitely be able to enter the sight of the great nobles and the magic guild, and the prize is not the most important.

Because many students from small cities come to participate in the competition, it is usually difficult to get in touch with the big nobles.

The arena is arranged in the wide square of the Imperial Academy, which is 300 meters long and 300 meters wide, and is designated as the arena, surrounded by mentor protection and a temporary defensive magic array to prevent accidents.

The buildings near the square were temporarily cleared out and used as viewing platforms for high-ranking nobles or college tutors.

On the day of the official start of the competition, the whole academy was in an uproar, like a festival, this kind of event was the first time, and in the previous St. Vid Arcane Competition, all the students were gathered and rushed to the Duchy of St. Vide to participate.

All the high platforms built around the arena were full of people, the windows of the small buildings around the square were all opened, and the participants were uniformly arranged on the athletes' platform on the south side of the arena, with 10,000 people. Emilia and Rodara, too, had known each other, and were sitting together, gossiping.

Raphael saw that the atmosphere in the whole square was very enthusiastic, and most of the guys, whether it were the contestants or the spectators, looked enthusiastic, and muttered, "These bastards must treat the game as a fighting beast." ”

However, Raphael didn't think there was anything to be nice about the competition, because this competition was almost all academic, and all the students who participated in the competition could get a lot of academy points.

It is conceivable that in order to mix credits, no matter how weak the guy is, he may participate.

As a participant, Raphael was not on the high platform, he was now hiding in the lobby of a store, and the thief was smiling and calculating the odds.

Outside the store, in the gatehouse, there was a large banner that read, "Imperial Elite Player Evaluation Office."

How do you evaluate the so-called evaluation? Use gold coins! If you value a student, hit him with gold coins to show that you are optimistic about him.

To put it simply, this is the casino market at Vera, but with a nice name. Moreover, Villa has also forbidden any other forces to open markets in the academy, and she wants to take advantage of this game to make a big profit.

In this competition, many noble children from big cities have rushed to the imperial capital, and there are many children of big businessmen who come with them, these guys are all rich people, and it is normal to play hundreds of thousands of gold coins casually.

There are more than 2,000 large city-states in the whole empire, and there are countless small and medium-sized city-states, and the defeat of Maitz made the new nobles in the south secretly send their children to watch the game, trying to take this opportunity to get close to the big nobles in the imperial capital.

So this bet will be a very terrifying number, estimated to be about a billion gold coins!

For this benefit, not only did His Majesty Bannik come to visit in person, Andina also made an appointment to meet Vera, and even Raphael saw an extremely powerful guy appear in Vera's magic tower, that is, the vice president of the Magic Guild, Rayser, who is also the actual controller of the Mercenary Guild.

Lesser's face is extremely resolute, with a square face, a thick mustache, a loose curled brown hair with a trace of unruliness, a pair of deep eyes that flicker, you can feel extremely aggressive, he is wearing a costly mercenary leather armor, it is difficult for people to imagine that he is a great mage.

However, Rayser didn't notice Raphael, a little minion who didn't even seem to have magical powers, and only bargained with Vera, and left after privately finalizing the distribution of the benefits this time.

Raphael finally discovered that Vera, a great beauty who looked very unearthly, was also very cunning, and in her bargaining, she calculated the cost, which was to divide a piece of paper in half into two costs, hundreds of expenses, and she insisted on saying that it was thousands.

In particular, Vera also made Raphael's information extremely simple, and other students had a lot of introductions, and Raphael's information was just one line: auditors, no magic, no vindictiveness.

Then Villa secretly bet on Rafael to win.

Every time Rafael fights, Villa bets on Raphael a lot, which looks very inconspicuous, but if you want to win, you will definitely earn no less, for example, in the preliminary round, Rafael's odds are only ten to one, and Villa bet 200,000 gold coins.

In addition, in the final win, Vera also bet on Rafael 100,000 gold coins, which is nothing compared to what she bet before, but if she wins, it will be amazing, because in the final column, Rafael's odds are very exaggerated.

Rafael watched from a wall-sized player evaluation board in the hall, and it took a while to see his name among the dense names.

In each round of the duel, his odds are not too miserable, after all, there are many speculative people who will press him to win indiscriminately, and they can also reach dozens to one, but in the final victory, his odds are extremely sad and infuriating 25 to 1.

The bet is almost over, and the other odds are changing, and Raphael's two hundred and five is motionless.

bet on him to win, still about 400,000 gold coins.

Raphael knew that the 400,000 gold coins were divided into one pen, and the largest one was only 2,000 gold coins, which was to avoid others noticing. These bets, except for a few speculators, are those pressed by Vera and Emilia, and perhaps Audella's, and even Lorain's.

Due to the complexity of the odds calculation, 25 to 1 does not mean that the total bet is 100 million gold coins, otherwise what money will you make when you open a casino?

But obviously, if Rafael wins in the final, Villa will win 100 million gold coins.

And the guy who partners with Villa will not lose, because Rafael wins, and the bet on everyone else to win will of course be eaten by the dealer, and the bet in the final is quite a lot.

This time the market is time-limited, and bets can only be placed before the start of the game, which seems more fair, but also makes it easier for Villa to get their hands dirty and ensure that they can get half of their money.

In Vera's words, the backstage numbers are in my hands, I can change them as much as I like, and I will destroy them after I get the benefits once, and no one can find evidence.

Raphael first looked at the two hundred and five with black lines on his face, then smiled, and while the bet was not over, he walked to the counter of the appraisal office openly, threw out a bag of gems, and bet himself with 100,000 gold coins, if he won the final, he could get more than 20 million.

In this handicap, anyone is allowed to place bets, including participants, and of course students can only bet on themselves to win.

In this way, although you can still cheat, you only have one chance to cheat per person, such as admitting defeat.

In fact, even if the students are not allowed to gamble, the students will privately ask someone to bet on their behalf, and they can cheat.

Whoever thinks that gambling can be fair and fair is a fool.

Gambling on this kind of thing has always been a lie.

Raphael is betting on himself to win, of course, there is no need to sneak the pen, he looked at the appraisal receptionist to estimate the value of the gem, and said to the appraisal receptionist: "Brother, let me tell you, according to my research, gambling is a road of no return, that is the god of death is showing you the way Wow!"

Then what are you bastard doing? Show me the way, I don't know what gambling is? It's true to show you the way! The receptionist couldn't help but roll his eyes and curse in his heart.

As soon as Rafael finished his bet, the bet was over, and the finance staff in the hall began to make quick calculations, which they had to do before the game started, and then modify the odds to guarantee the benefit.

Vera was sitting at the table, smiling at the magic board in her hand, waiting for the end of the handicap until the odds were recalculated, she would not announce the start of the game.

There is a simple mirror magic on Vera's magic board, which can be seen on the registration board of the betting hall.

The registration board flickered slightly, and Raphael's odds changed.

Vera's lake-like eyes glared at him in a rare way, and he scolded, "This damn bastard dares to rob me of my money." ”

The square was even more noisy, and Vera didn't come to a high platform next to the arena with a smile until she saw a code popping up on the registration board, and said a nonsense word of encouragement to the students.

Of course, she is in a good mood, according to the odds, no matter what the result of the game, half of the money has already been hacked by her.

Then, under the escort of the flamboyantly dressed guard of honor cavalry, His Majesty Bannik also came to watch the ceremony in person, but Barnik also showed up, and after saying a few nonsense words to show his attention and encouragement, he slipped away.

On this occasion, the imperial concubine Andina did not show up, because this was a student selected by the whole empire, and she participated, which means that she is ambitious, rather than simply looking for some talents for her mother's family.
