Severnton, New Town, Colosseum.

At this time, a full year has passed since the last time Xia Duo and Nia were here, and in this year, the Colosseum does not seem to have changed in any way, but the people who came are no longer the people they used to be.

Looking at the tall, magnificent, and light cyan stone building in front of him, Xia Duo really felt like a world away.

In fact, since he had been to the projection plane during the year, and had been there for more than a year, time had indeed passed for more than a year in his perceptual time.

But thanks to the memory traceability brought about by the awakening of the bloodline, by tracing the memories of the past, Xia Duo's memory of the last time he came to watch the snowmelt competition is so vivid and vivid.

It's as if it all happened yesterday.

Time seemed to be gone at this moment.

……

"What's wrong? Don't you go in? Nia reminded in a whisper.

The entrance to the Grand Arena is naturally very spacious, but the two people at the entrance also affect the order of normal entrants.

The Aein Stone flying above their heads was the best proof of identity, and the crowd around them automatically gave way to a large space like flowing water around the reef.

This makes the entrance, which was originally quite spacious, not so spacious, and even a little cramped.

"Well, let's go inside!"

Xia Duo noticed the expressions of the people around him who were either awe, excited, or nervous, and sighed in his heart at the gap in the identity of the caster, he did not want the future magical civilization to have such a distinction between high and low.

Whether it is noble or not cannot be determined by strength, but also by the person's character and contribution.

In Nessreel, the factor of strength is too heavy, such as Congenio, although he is highly respected, but if he is not a Grand Arcanist, then how can he have such a high reputation?

When Shado was first enlightened when he was learning magic, he often read a book called "The Biography of Archmage Darth Riel" in order to familiarize himself with the Chroma script.

Darsreal was a man from more than 200 years ago, who came from a poor background and was a farmer until he was 30 years old.

After being exposed to magic, and learning the written word, it took only fifteen years to become an archmage with great power.

But after he became an archmage, he did not continue to go deeper along the path of magic, but chose to return to his hometown and protect his hometown.

Spend your days training new spellcasters for your hometown, or clearing up orc threats.

But few people know his name today, and even at the time, it was only the story of how a farmer became an archmage, rather than the things he did for his hometown when he returned.

It is very difficult to change the status quo in the world that Weili belongs to, but if it does not change, how can it be called "civilization".

It's just a jungle of the jungle.

The reason why human beings are human beings and intelligent creatures is precisely because they can get rid of the drive of animal instincts to a certain extent, and turn to the three views shaped by the day after tomorrow to take the initiative to discover, understand and transform the world.

……

Entering the arena, you first pass through a short passageway, and then suddenly you are revealed, a circular structure that closely resembles a modern stadium on Earth.

The seats are spread out around the periphery, and the seats are higher the further you go.

The entrance is empty, as if the ring is missing a hole, and in the direction of the entrance, there are four seats high above, apparently the seats of the four representatives of the snowmelt competition.

There were only three snowmelt competitions last time.

Now that the princess has ascended and left the main plane, it is not known who will sit in that position on behalf of Nessriel this time.

Could it be that the princess will also dedicate herself to descending the incarnation and watch an all-mortal game?

Xia Duo thought secretly in his heart, and soon followed Nia's footsteps to the area where the mage of the Seven Towers was located, although strictly speaking, he was not a member of the Seven Towers of the Mage Tower organization, but at least he was a member of the Seven Towers as a faction.

In addition, Nia has not left the Gilles Tower for the time being, and it is always right to sit here.

……

After sitting down, Xia Duo responded to the greetings of the surrounding Seven Tower mages, and then began to look for Depak in the arena.

At present, the people in the arena have not yet arrived, and there are still people entering the door, but there are already more people than last year.

Fortunately, the internal capacity of the arena is large enough, otherwise it would be embarrassing, but from the current point of view, except for those areas dedicated to elven dwarves, the other areas are almost full.

"Depark, are you there?"

"Arrived, we just saw you come in, and the three of us are now sitting in the second row of the second block to the right of the entrance!"

After receiving DePark's reply, Xia Duo immediately followed the message given in his message and looked diagonally to the opposite side.

Sure enough, in a corner, he found DePark, who was nodding to him, and Gibson and Harlan, who were looking around excitedly.

"Let's watch the game in peace!"

After that, Xia Duo did not reply, but instead observed the arena itself.

……

After becoming a senior arcanist, Xia Duo's vision was naturally different, and at this time, when he looked at the diamond-shaped platform in the center of the arena, he couldn't see anything like he did last year.

Now, he knew very well that the essence of the platform was a small half-plane that completely overlapped the main plane, with an internal area of more than 100,000 square meters. (Much more than the yellow sand half-plane~)

Due to the special magic net environment reconstructed inside the arena, Xia Duo was even able to directly see the elemental roots of this plane to a certain extent.

The elements and energies are very balanced, or rather a little too balanced, and even the main plane does not have such an absolutely balanced elemental phase.

This look is artificially made.

So Xia Duo was more interested.

However, before continuing to observe and study the half-plane of the platform, he was going to observe the magic net environment in the arena.

When he came here last year, he found that the magic net environment inside the arena had been reconstructed, and there were some subtle changes this year compared to last year.

But compared to the last time, he was not very sure, this time he was sure that it was now the Mystery Lock, a small Mystery Lock that only existed inside the arena!

As for last year, since he was still unable to observe the magic net from a macro perspective at that time, even if he could trace his memory, he could only be sure that the magic net had been reconstructed, and it was not very sure whether it had reached the level of confusion.

But judging from the changes in the environment of the magic net inside the arena this year and last year, maybe the construction of the mystery lock was already under way last year, but it was only completed until now this year!

……

Soon, Xia Duo noticed that the strings of the magic net around him were shaking, which was a sign of teleportation, compared to last year, when there were only a few fixed teleportation points, this year's teleportation points were much denser.

Some of the late Seven Pagoda Mages even teleported directly to the vicinity of the vacant seats specially set aside, and when they arrived here, they didn't have to leave, they just sat down.

Shado speculated that it might have something to do with the Lost Lock, as the addition of a new participant in the snowmelt competition will last longer than last year, and he has plenty of time to study this.

Of course, that would have to be done after studying the half-plane of the platform.
