Among the various competitions on the planet, it can be called the best choice for small countries to counterattack, and that is, of course, intellectual competitions, such as Go, Xiangqi and the like.

Normal sports competitions, because of the different levels of development of different countries, training equipment, equipment technology can open a very obvious gap, such as shark skin swimsuits in swimming competitions, sports shoes in running competitions, and so on.

However, the intellectual competition no longer considers these external advantages, and basically controls the competition points of the contestants in pure intelligence, after all, no one can improve the winning rate because of the use of a golden chessboard.

Xia Duo felt that the only thing that the color-resistant people could do if they wanted to defeat the elves was to compete differently, and the advantage or not the disadvantage of human beings was in wisdom.

Although the long life can allow the elves to come into contact with many people and things, learn a lot of knowledge, and increase a lot of wisdom, they are not absolutely different from the color-resistant people.

Otherwise, there would be no snowmelt race today.

Magical ability is actually a manifestation of wisdom.

In addition, Nesser's late start, but still able to develop to this extent, is the embodiment of the wisdom of the Nesseri people, if you design a rule to circle the competition in a specific area of wisdom, you may be able to defeat the elves.

And this rule, there are actually some local ones, and there are a lot of puzzle board games from the elves.

It's just that due to the short lifespan of human mages, they don't waste a lot of time on this, so when fighting, unless they are really smart, it is difficult to defeat the elves who are not stingy with time on this.

The new rules will keep the level of the two sides the same for the time being, and if it is used in subsequent snowmelt competitions, perhaps the Color-resistant mages will also conduct targeted training.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, so there is no need for Xia Duo to come to mind, what he has to do now is to submit a rule, as for whether it is chess or Go, he is thinking about it.

However, the so-called consideration is actually just a turn of one or two thoughts, and Xia Duo quickly made a decision, only from the perspective of intellectual competition, Go is undoubtedly more suitable.

However, the new event of the Snowmelt Contest cannot be completely set up as a quiz contest, after all, it is an arcane competition, and in order to show some magical ability, and in this regard, chess with a large number of belligerents is more suitable.

After the magic reform, the chess is called [Arcane Mystery] by Xia Duo, except for the localization of the name of the chess piece, the biggest change is that the chess piece has real damage.

For example, [Cannon] has become a spell that can attack the opponent's chess piece by passing over one of your own pieces, [Pawn] and [Pawn] have become a melee contact spell, and others are similar.

When playing chess, the contestant moves according to the rules of chess, but when eating pieces, in addition to the attacks between the pieces, the contestant can also cast a spell to interfere or assist.

In other words, the element of spell duel is added to the eating link, but the chess pieces have the advantage of attacking first, and it is not easy for the contestants to cast spells to interfere.

Overall, it's still more intellectual, but it can also be related to magic.

As for the specific spell design and manufacturing of the chess pieces, Xia Duo only put forward an idea, and he believed that the Grand Arcanists would definitely be able to design more localized spell chess pieces.

After submitting the competition plan of this [Arcane Mystery] through Nia, Xia Duo didn't care about the follow-up, because he had also submitted two plans before, similar to the Big Stomach King, and then there was no follow-up.

Coupled with the elves' taunts, he was basically killed.

As for the current one, Xia Duo actually doesn't have a bottom in his heart, but that's all he can do, and it involves too much energy for this, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

The day after Shado submitted his plan, Nia suddenly sent a message, the kind of voice, "Shado, you know what? Your plan was left behind by the teacher, and it will be discussed within the Seven Towers later, and if it passes, the new project of the Snow Melting Competition will be determined to be the [Arcane Maze]! ”

There was irrepressible joy in Nia's voice, and even a hint of pride, Xia Duo didn't take this matter too seriously, he had already done what he could.

Whether the plan is adopted or killed, it doesn't actually affect him.

This thing is in the past.

Even a day later, when he was notified by Nia again that the plan had been adopted, Xia Duo only smiled slightly, compared to this, he was more interested in the new project proposed by the elves.

This was also mentioned in Nia's latest message, after the new project was identified by the Nessreel side, and then the elf side also notified the new project.

An arcane competition known as the Grand Illusion requires participants to cast illusion spells to create the most spectacular or bizarre scenario they can imagine.

From mundane to epic to whimsical.

The results of the contest are judged on the size, ingenuity, realism and imagination of the illusions created by the contestants.

In this regard, Xia Duo also had to sigh, it is really an elf, and it is worthy of playing art.

According to the elves, the greatest and noblest art is magic, but there are many other forms of art that are expressed in more than just magic books.

Xia Duo projected elves twice, and he could be regarded as quite familiar with the nature of elves, and he felt that it should be difficult for the color-resistant mage in this snowmelt competition to score in the [Magnificent Illusion].

Humans rely on wisdom, elves rely on art, and the focus chosen by both sides wants to smooth out each other's advantages as much as possible, which is really quite fantastical!

……

Meanwhile, in Severynton in April, representatives of the Seven Towers met again.

"Comanso came prepared this time, and those long ears like these flashy things!" An archarcanist was indignant.

"If you don't like it, give me your holiday estate on the east side!"

"Uh-" The Great Arcanist who spoke before suddenly stopped talking, that manor was built in the style of the elves, it's hard to say if it's practical or not, but it's true that it's good-looking!

"It's okay to be noisy usually, when is it now, don't have infighting among your own people." Gustav's tower of Badigar turned his face blank, revealing a look of displeasure.

Grand Arcanists may all possess powerful magic, but when it comes to specific combat, it takes some combat talent to use that power to perfection.

Most of the representatives of the Seven Towers are qualified scholars, but they are not necessarily qualified warriors.

As recognized as the strongest warrior of the Seven Towers, Badigar's attitude is still valued by others. As soon as he said something, everyone else fell silent.

Of course, Badigar was a qualified scholar and a qualified warrior, but not necessarily a qualified diplomat or strategist, and it was only when everyone quieted down that he returned to the purpose of the meeting:

"So what should we do now?"
