Chapter 138: Exchange Meeting
[The third update! I still owe six chapters, and the handicapped party said, can I ask for a monthly pass?]
There were many people crowded on the high platform, each drawing a number plate, and Merlin waited until An Lena and the others had all drawn it, and then stepped forward and took a number plate from the gray-robed mage at random.
Back in the audience, An Lena couldn't help but ask, "Master Merlin, how many numbers have you drawn?"
"XVI. ”
Merlin raised the number plate in his hand, revealing the number on the number plate.
An Lena nodded secretly and said, "Mine is twenty-six, and I don't know who Lu Dao will meet." ”
After waiting for about half an hour, the gray-robed mages on the high platform all wrote down the number plates of each spellcaster who participated in the exchange meeting, and then the competition began, and it was also held in four rings at the same time.
"The first match, Master Gera vs. Master Berente!"
As the gray-robed mage read out his name, two spellcasters immediately walked up from the crowd below, and only after they stood still, did the gray-robed mage exit the high platform.
"Buzz".
Around the high platform, mysterious runes flickered one after another, forming a huge protective cover, enveloping the entire high platform inside, these rune arrays are used to protect the crowd below from the impact of spells, and the protective shields formed by these mysterious rune arrays can almost withstand the attack of fourth-level spells.
Therefore, as long as the rune circle is activated, there is no need to worry about the two people in the competition being affected by the crowd below.
"Gra!"
"Brent!"
The two exchanged names and maintained the most basic etiquette, and then Master Gera disappeared. Like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Brente.
"Wind Blade!"
Gen Gera didn't hesitate. Unleashed a wind-based attack spell, and suddenly, there were thousands of fierce wind blades all over the sky, overwhelmingly slashing towards Mage Berendt.
Mage Berent saw the overwhelming wind blade, and before he could even react, he staggered in fright and almost fell, he didn't seem to have defensive spells. Therefore, against the preemptive and fast Gla Mage, he had no chance of winning.
So, Master Belente hurriedly shouted, "I admit defeat!"
"Bang bang bang".
Hundreds of wind blades all slashed at Master Brent's body, but when Mage Brent said the word "admit defeat", the rune circle that shrouded the high platform immediately flashed a ray of light, enveloping Brente in it. No matter how much the Wind Blade attacks, it can't hurt it in the slightest.
This is also the Dark Spirit Realm in order to avoid casualties. And the measures taken, as long as the caster admits defeat, will be immediately protected.
Merlin shook his head slightly, the strength of these two spellcasters is not too strong, in fact, he can see that the true strength of the two should be regarded as half a catty and eight taels, both of which are about the same, but Master Gra took the lead, and he restrained Berendt a little in spells, so he was able to win so easily.
In addition to this side, the battles on several other high platforms were also over quickly, and most of these casters were three-line mages, and the power of the spells they built was not very strong.
Originally, Merlin wanted to learn some skills from the battle of these spellcasters, but now it seems that the strength of these spellcasters just now is too weak, so he doesn't have the heart to watch carefully.
"Next game, Mage Merlin vs. Mage Date!"
Just as Merlin was feeling a little bored, the Grey-robed Mage mentioned his name.
"Oh, is it my turn?"
Merlin stood up and looked at the side, Anlena and the other nine people had not yet played, but this time there were three others whose names were mentioned, and they would face their respective opponents like Merlin.
"Mage Merlin, you must defeat him!"
Angelena was waving her little fists, looking as if she was more excited than she was on the court herself.
Merlin walked up to the high platform, and across from him stood a burly man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his cheeks covered with thick black body hair, who looked like a barbarian, and a barbarian who looked like he was powerful.
"My name is Ida!"
"Merlin!"
After the two exchanged names, the gray-robed mage immediately left the high platform, and when the rune magic circle enveloped the high platform, the competition officially began.
"Hoo ......"
A breeze blew, and Merlin didn't do it immediately, he also wanted to wait for the other party to make a move first, but this Mage Date, who looked very oppressive, was very cautious and did not release the spell.
Merlin frowned, didn't wait, stretched out his hand and pointed, and suddenly, a cloud of mist appeared instantly.
"Dark Mist!"
It was just a general dark fog, almost enveloping half of the platform, and Master Date was dizzy, and his expression immediately became sluggish, obviously falling into the illusion.
"Cryomy!"
Looking at Mage Date who had obviously fallen into the illusion, Merlin cast another cryo spell and easily froze the unprotected Mage Date.
Merlin didn't attack anymore, so he dispelled the dark fog and squinted slightly at Mage Date who was already sobering up.
Seeing his situation, Master Date also felt very embarrassed, his face turned red, and he could only whisper, "I admit defeat!"
Merlin smiled at him and walked straight off the platform, waiting for the next competition.
"Mage Merlin, what you just released was the Dark Mist?"
As soon as Merlin returned to the stage, he saw Lenna's big eyes blinking continuously, and asked with a look of surprise.
"Dark Mist indeed!"
There's nothing to hide either, Merlin nodded in acknowledgement.
An Lena then said enviously: "It's really not easy for you to build a spell model of the dark mist, it seems that it is really the mistake of those gray-robed mages to assign you to the tower of Mentor Leo!"
"Oh, is there anything special about the Dark Mist?"
Merlin asked in a low voice.
"The Dark Mist is a very powerful, but complex spell model of a zero-level spell, and many spellcasters want to build it. But because the spell model is so difficult. I can't be sure. That's why I gave up. You can build a magical model of the Dark Mist, I really don't know why those gray-robed mages in the Dark Mage will send you to Master Leo's Tower. ”
An Lena explained the reason for Merlin in detail, it turned out that the Dark Mist was not so easy to build, no wonder Merlin felt strange, the Dark Mist was such a practical zero-level spell, and there were not many casters to build for the Dark Mist.
The spell model is too complex, and Merlin knows it. Moreover, the spiritual power consumed by the Dark Mist was far more than that of ordinary zero-level spells.
After a while, Merlin saw that the other three spellcasters had also returned, and they had also participated in the competition, but seeing the three of them hanging their heads and looking extremely embarrassed, he knew that they must have failed.
Of the four in this game, only Merlin won easily.
Next, several other people also participated in the first competition, but including Lenna. But no one was able to get past the first game, and Lena was slightly better. She actually had a spell scroll, so the scene was a little better, and she took the initiative to admit defeat.
After the first battle of the exchange meeting, among the students of Master Leo, except for Merlin, everyone else was eliminated, if there was no Merlin, the students of Master Leo would most likely be wiped out in the first game.
In this regard, Merlin could only shake his head helplessly, no wonder when it was mentioned that it was from the Leo Mage Tower, the spellcasters in the other towers would feel very confident.
Merlin saw Mage Leo sitting on the high stone benches at the front of the square, and his face did not seem to show anything unusual, but rather calm.
"In the second game, Mage Merlin vs. Mage Warren!"
Merlin heard the Grey-robed Mage call out his name again, and this was Merlin's second match.
"It's him, Master Merlin, my opponent just now was him, you must teach him a hard lesson!"
Seeing the spellcaster appearing on the high platform, An Lena seemed a little excited, it turned out that this Warren mage was the spell caster who had defeated An Lena just now.
"Don't worry. ”
Merlin smiled slightly, a confident smile on his face, and then walked directly onto the high platform.
"Merlin!"
"Warren!"
After both of them announced their names, the entire high platform was quickly protected by the rune array, and this time, Merlin didn't wait, he took the lead.
"Dark Mist!"
It was still a dark fog, and a large area of fog appeared in an instant, although Warren had been prepared, his spiritual power still did not reach the point where he could break through the dark fog.
Therefore, Warren inevitably fell into the illusion, and his expression became sluggish.
"Click".
Just like Mage Date in the previous battle, Mage Warren was quickly frozen by ice crystals, and the battle ended so quickly.
From the beginning of Merlin's action to the end of the battle, it was almost a blink of an eye, and the spells released by Merlin were exactly the same as the last one.
"Who is this person? The two competitions were the same, and they only used two spells to solve the battle. ”
"That's the Dark Mist, any spellcaster who can build a dark mist spell model is not simple, this Merlin mage, I don't know which mage is in the tower?"
"Huh, look, he's actually going to the caster of the Leo Mage Tower, is he a student of Master Leo?"
If in the first game, Merlin easily defeated Date without attracting anyone's attention, then in the second game, Merlin used the same two spells to defeat the opponent in the second game, which attracted the attention of some people.
It's just that when they found out that Merlin was actually a student of Master Leo, many people showed a strange look on their faces.
Merlin returned to the audience, and Anlena was very excited, not only because Merlin helped her, but also because Merlin had won the second game, which was the best record among Master Leo's students after Sauron in so many years.
"Master Merlin, fight for us, we must pass the third battle!"
Suddenly, several spellcasters who had already been eliminated in the first game and didn't even dare to make a loud voice were all clenched into fists at this time, looking at Merlin with excitement, and there seemed to be a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes. (To be continued......)
