After the gifts, the celebration has come to an end, and the time is approaching dusk, Alberke

"Rejuvenation" consumes the most time. The final part of the celebration is the Arcane Competition, which Xia Duo has been preparing for for more than half a month, and now, it is about to be known!

Lord Epps waved his scepter to brighten the surroundings and reshape the grounds, turning the southern half of the central plaza into an auditorium-like structure.

A row of seats rose from under the statue of the Grand Arcanist, the same Rao seats that had arrived with the lord earlier, and a diamond-shaped platform to the south.

It is no more than half a foot high, and the two sharp corners of the diamond point in the east-west direction, about ten meters apart. To the south of the diamond-shaped platform are the soldiers who maintain order, as well as a large number of people.

As for Xia Duo, these people are divided into left and right. To the east are the guests; The people of the Tower of Time are all on the west side, the official mages have seats, and the apprentices stand like ordinary people.

Today's main character, Alberk, presides over the Arcane Contest, introducing several important guests seated under the statue of the Grand Arcanist before beginning to tell the story of the Arcane Contest.

It was at this time that Shado learned that the previous Mystic Priest was an almost legendary Arcanist, but more importantly, he came from the Mysterious Sanctuary in Iorum's Territory, the largest temple of the Goddess of Magic in Nesser.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a person of this status will appear in the Savile Territory. And in addition to the mysterious priest, there is also the representative of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Greta, a female archmage, and Gavani, a student of the archarcanist Broad, who is also an archmage.

There are two other ones, Abbeck is only an archmage, and he did not introduce the background, but he can sit in a row with the three in front of him, and their identities must not be simple.

At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little worried about the lord and Nia who were sitting with them, sitting next to a group of archmages, even if it wasn't like sitting on pins and needles, it wouldn't be comfortable to think about!

However, the sudden gathering of so many archmages in the Savile Territory made Xia Duo vigilant, what else could the Savile Territory attract at the moment, and the big people behind those people?

A large territory to be explored? It's possible, but not so many people rushing together! Identity and status limit Xia Duo's access to information, even if he has a big brain, it is impossible to guess anything out of thin air, but to get so many big people to pay attention, Xia Duo decided to wait and behave well.

Maybe there's a big benefit hidden in this simplified version of the Arcane Competition! …… On the other hand, Alberke was already introducing the rules, and the formal rules were very different from what Xia Duo had learned from Nia before.

Among them, there are two points that have the greatest impact on Xia Duo - one is that only when the opponent's [Magic Missile] exceeds the midpoint, can the countermeasure be started, which is equivalent to reducing the countermeasure time and making it more exciting; The other is that there is a blessing circle on the field, as long as one side does not succeed in countering, even if it resists with [Mage Armor], it will bring a spell combo effect to the opponent, making the opponent's next spell more powerful.

forced both sides to succeed in counteracting as much as possible! This is simply the nemesis of Xia Duo's turtle shrinkage tactics, Xia Duo's winning treasure is to cast more spells than others, even if he fails to counter once, as long as he forcibly resists with [Mage Armor].

Hold on until the other party loses the ability to cast spells, and let Xia Duoshi do it. But the spell combo just excludes Xia Duo's strongest advantage, and I really don't know who came up with it!

In this way, you can really only compete in skills! And skill happens to be the weaker aspect of Xia Duo.

Now, the biggest retreat is gone, and Xia Duo can only do his best, he subconsciously glanced at Niya sitting next to the lord, although he looked nervous, but he also managed to support it.

Xia Duo lifted his spirits slightly, as for the other changes, such as the magic circle dyeing the originally invisible magic missiles on both sides into different colors, suppressing magic items, and providing the last refuge, it was not worth mentioning.

"Tower of Time, Shado!" Hearing Alberke call himself, Xia Duo immediately reacted, but he didn't expect him to be the first to appear!

However, he didn't panic, Alberke's arrangement must not have made it impossible for the Tower of Time to lose as soon as he came up!

As he had guessed, his opponent, a child who looked like a teenager, walked up from the other side of the diamond-shaped arena.

"Pure White Tower, Kim." Hearing that it was a pure white tower, Xia Duo knew that the other party was from the Iolim Territory, and that Alberk had introduced those archmages before.

The Pure White Tower was built by Aeolum's student, the Grand Arcanist Broad, but he didn't worry too much, the other party became a mage in this way, and he may be smart enough, but magic is never only about theory, but also about practice.

And the practical experience and skills need time to hone, Xia Duo feels that this should be stable!

…… On the platform, Xia Duo and Kim were about ten meters apart, and after the two stood still, they exchanged a salute. After both of them blessed the [Mage Armor], Kim raised his voice slightly, and shouted in a voice that still had a childlike voice: "Xia Duo, I know this is the first battle of the Tower of Time, but I won't let you!" Xia Duo couldn't help but feel funny, although Kim's voice was childlike, but his tone tried his best to show his old age, but his content also made Xia Duo sure that this guy was really not old.

Xia Duo didn't speak, but responded with a spell, a magic missile dyed red by the circle on the platform, and with Xia Duo's guidance, it whistled towards Kim.

However, it had just crossed the midpoint less than two meters before it quietly collapsed. At the same time, Xia Duo also happened to counter the blue missile sent by the other party, just about one meter past the midpoint between the two, it seems that Xia Duo was slightly better in the first round.

"Don't get complacent! Again! Kim roared, sending out a blue missile again. However, in Xia Duo's opinion, this is the child showing his teeth and claws, this blue missile sliding through the space, and the strings of the magic net that echo with it along the way, the law of change is exactly the same as before, and there is not even the slightest change.

There's no chance of doing so! Xia Duo dismantled all the strings of the magic net that the blue missile had triggered less than half a meter from the midpoint, and the blue missile quietly dissipated.

Of course, Xia Duo's ability to make counter magic so light and light is also based on the fact that he is very familiar with the spell [Magic Missile] and has been training for a long time.

If the opposite side uses an unfamiliar spell, then it won't be so easy for him to counter. In this round, Xia Duo just countered the opponent's spell and did not attack, because he didn't know how many opponents there would be next, and if he could save the spell as much as possible, he would still try to save it.

However, Xia Duo's non-attack angered Kim, and the spell counteract just now was more like laughing at him, and Kim was a little unstable and began to get agitated.

I saw something muttering in his mouth, and then the next time the blue missile was cast for a long time before it was launched, but unfortunately, this spell disintegrated on its own before it reached the midpoint.

Kim was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually moistened, as if he was about to fall out of the golden bean in the next moment, and Xia Duo was also stunned when he saw it.

Sure enough, it's a child! Instead of taunting, Xia Duo unleashed a red missile that flew like Kim.

This time, the magic missile has been slightly adjusted by Xia Duo, although the macro spell structure has not changed, but the specific spell casting elements have changed.

This is something that only a mage who has studied the principles of magic can make similar changes, and those who can only follow the book cannot do so.

If Kim continues to follow the previous countermeasures, it is doomed to failure. …… The sudden appearance of the red missile reinvigorated Kim, and it was clear that he could not be a mere spellcaster from the pure white tower.

He successfully countered Shado's spell, only to succeed until the red missile approached him, and the wind from the missile blew the fine hair on Kim's forehead.

This chill also calmed Kim down, and instead of attacking, he signaled to admit defeat, he had already recognized the gap between himself and Xia Duo.

However, although he admits defeat, he does not think that he has always been inferior to Xia Duo, and when he left the opposite platform, Kim did not forget to challenge Xia Duo: "In three years, I will come to the Tower of Time to challenge you!" "Hear

"Three years", Xia Duo, who was walking down from the opposite platform, suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak, why was this line so familiar!
