Chapter 39: Confrontation
In a flat clearing, the magic airship stood majestically. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Its surroundings were swept away by magic as early as it landed, with the magic airship as the center, and a thousand meters around it was a hard land.
On the airship, the black robe, Lilith, Norton and other mentors all came to the door of the magic airship, and as soon as they landed, three nearby students couldn't wait to get on the airship.
"Three lucky little ones. Lilith smiled and looked at the three students who were still on guard against each other on the airship, "Okay, relax, get on the airship, and you will be absolutely safe." You have passed this test, and you have officially become a magic apprentice from now on. After that, the public area will be opened, and you can choose your favorite mage tower to study. Of course, it's up to you to earn your own points. ”
When the three students heard Lilith's words, their faces showed a look of relief, although they were still on guard, they were finally not as nervous as before.
One of the students asked, "Mentor Lilith, how many points do you need to enter the Mage Tower?"
Lilith was about to answer, but the black robe waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, don't ask questions here, you will naturally understand in the future." ”
The three trainees didn't dare to ask any more questions, and found a vacant seat in the ship's hall and began to rest.
At this time, two more cadets came to the deck where the ship was lowered, and they looked anxious and wanted to rush forward, but an invisible resistance stopped them. There was nothing in front of them, but they just couldn't get on the deck.
Lilith pointed to the two students below, "Poor little ones, you don't have to work in vain. There is a magic ban enchantment on this deck, and you have to gather five badges to get in, and you only have five in total, and two people can't get up. ”
Despair appeared on the faces of the two teenagers, and one of the cadets angrily unleashed two fireballs on the deck. But as soon as the fireball touched the top of the deck, it disappeared automatically, and it was of no use at all.
The other student fell to his knees and kept shouting words for mercy in Lilith's direction, but received no response.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation on the deck, and one of the cadets walked up.
His expression was cold, his face was covered in blood, and the wand he held in his hand was stained red. Step by step, he stepped onto the ship.
Looking at this student, Lilith showed a hint of surprise on her face.
Just now, the boy stabbed his wand into the back of his companion's neck.
Except for a slight initial struggle, the teenager didn't even look at his companion's corpse.
The young man numbly walked to the ship's hall to rest and meditate, and the three students who walked in before all subconsciously sat farther away.
Soon, many students appeared around the magic airship, and this time, eighteen people appeared.
Only three of the eighteen students had earned enough points, and the rest were all students who had been robbed of their badges.
As soon as these three people appeared, they immediately caused a frenzied siege by fifteen other people.
Soon, three cadets who had enough points died. Died on the way to the magic airship.
After the three of them died, the remaining fifteen immediately started another battle, this time against their companions who had just joined forces.
In less than an ounce of hourglass time, only three of the fifteen people were left to embark on the magic airship.
"It's crazy. Lilith looked at the black robe with a slight mockery. "Heisha, the rules set this time are inevitably too cruel. Five can only survive one, but looking at this situation, I am afraid that less than two hundred of the more than 1,200 people in the Three Great Disciples Pagoda will survive. ”
The black robe said: "Hmph, no matter how much garbage you cultivate, it is better to cultivate a peerless powerhouse." The survival of the fittest. Besides, this is their own choice, the [Wonderful Path] left by Master Gulan can see what the students want most in their hearts, and I didn't force them to enter the Netherworld Branch. ”
"The wonderful road, for these students, is tantamount to the netherworld. Lilith sighed with emotion, "I don't know if we really meet the original intention of the old man to use this artifact left by Master Guran to screen students." ”
"Lilith, are you questioning Master Guran?" The black-robed tone suddenly turned cold, and a murderous intent emerged.
"Lilith, don't say it. Norton whispered to Lilith, "Master Gourmet, it's not something we can question. ”
Lilith was stunned, she was not afraid of the black robe, but she had respect for the legendary figure of Master Quran. Always fearless, she listened to Norton's advice, snorted coldly at the black robe, and kept silent.
As time went on, the fights outside the airship began to become more frequent. With the guidance of the guide crystal, more and more students gathered around the airship.
In the open space within a radius of thousands of meters, hundreds of people gradually gathered, divided into several battlefields, magic flew all over the sky, people continued to die, and people continued to rush over to join the battlefield. The situation is extremely chaotic.
The two sides of the battle are roughly divided into two factions, the cadets who have enough badges and the cadets who have nothing.
At this point, factions are only distinguished by whether they have a badge or not.
Whoever owns the badge and wants to rush onto the magic airship will immediately be besieged by people who don't have the badge around. Then the one who took the badge, or a small group of people, immediately became the target of the majority of the people.
This cycle repeats until the person with the badge enters the magic airship, or the number of badges on the field falls below a certain number. The intensity of the battle will be slightly weakened.
As the number of casualties mounted, the cadets with enough badges finally realized that now was not the best time to enter and gradually became sober.
It has only been two hours since the magic airship landed, and the death toll has exceeded 100, and only 23 people have entered the airship alive. Even a strong student, under the siege of a group of people, it is difficult to break through the layers of magic siege and walk onto the airship.
Although the number of cadets with badges is strong, the number is very small. Although the trainees without badges are weak, they are extremely numerous. And in this situation where the camp is only based on badges, no one is absolutely sure that they will break into the airship.
Gradually, the pace of the battle slowed down. Most of the students with badges stayed at the edge of the clearing, leaving a large group of students without badges gathered around the magic airship.
They also understood a truth, they must gather people with enough badges to fight together, so that they can hope to successfully board the airship.
Time passed, and more and more students came around the magic airship.
Skirmishes continued. But the whole is strangely in a state of confrontation.
But according to the fact that the students who do not have enough badges are the majority after all, as more and more students join the side of the weak, the balance is tilted in favor of the seemingly weak group of students!
It is foreseeable that if all the surviving students arrive at the same time, I am afraid that the comparison of strength between the two sides will become more favorable to those students who do not have badges!
Norton looked at the airship's situation, and his beard trembled: "Something seems wrong, if it continues like this...... In the end, when the battle breaks out, those students with good talent may die because of this chaotic situation! Maybe those who survive will be those who are lucky. Isn't this the original purpose of our trials lost? The weak live, and the strong die?"
The black robe said lightly: "Luck is originally part of strength, and those talented students should have killed the weak as early as the beginning. It's not just about snatching the badge. The present situation is the price of their woman's kindness. ”
McGonagall, who was wearing a military uniform on the side, said: "The black demon is right, if you can't survive in this kind of chaos, how can you be called strong? In the future, they will encounter a more chaotic and tragic situation than this, and one of my teams has been chased and killed by tens of thousands of enemies." Isn't that fair? But on the battlefield, the enemy won't tell you any rules. The only thing we can do is try to kill as many enemies as possible and survive. ”
Norton shook his beard and shook his head: "It's good that I stayed at the academy to study alchemy, and I am not comparable to you guys in the army." It's a pity, there are a lot of alchemy seedlings here......"
"It won't last long, as long as those top guys show up, the balance will be broken. The white-haired old man, who had been silent, spoke.
He pointed in a certain direction outside the door: "You see, there's a little guy who can break the balance here." ”
