Chapter 65: Suspicion and Conspiracy

The three-day preparation time came quickly.

On the day of the "Competition" stage of the Magister's promotion ceremony, the whole country of Karalim Magus was celebrating.

Magic plays an important role in this country with the name of "magic".

Not to mention the Magister Promotion Ceremony, which is also the most important event in the hearts of all human mages in the Alpha Continent.

Where there is a celebration, there is food.

Naturally, the goddess will not let go of this great opportunity.

"You eat less, don't throw up during the game for a while."

Lin Xiao, who was following behind Sifna, actually put on the robe of the goddess's "entourage".

A long gown emblazoned with a blood-dripping butcher's knife.

I have to say that this robe designed by Lin Xiao himself is completely out of line with the goddess's "farming druid" profession that advocates natural harmony.

The First Trial will take place in the Summoner's Ring in the Sanctuary of the Starspire.

More than 50,000 spectators have been seated on the circular floating platform that floats around the ring.

Among these audiences, there are not only magicians of various professions with high mana, but also elite nobles of the Magic Country, and even many civilians of the Magic Country.

For the vast majority of the audience, it was their only chance to visit the majestic Sanctuary of the Starry Minaret.

As an entourage, Lin Xiao was allowed to enter the preparatory seat on the side of the competition venue.

He glanced at the other forty-four contestants who were nervously preparing for the trial, and finally fixed his eyes on a blue-haired young man wearing thick glasses.

"Hello, may I ask what your Excellency is doing?"

The blue-haired young man was none other than the astrologer who had won the first prize in the written exam, Aven from the Duchy of Colin.

"It's okay, I'm just a little curious, is this book you reading useful for your future trials?"

The book that Evan was holding in his hand was actually the novel "On the Law of Cause and Effect and the Law of System" written by Hananos.

Hearing Lin Xiao ask this, a glimmer of light faintly flashed in Ai Wen's eyes.

However, he disguised it very well, so good that even the Demon God of the Destroying World, who was good at perceiving people's hearts, did not notice it.

"Haha, I'm just bored to read this book for fun, but it makes Your Excellency laugh."

"Is it pretty?"

"It's funny, and I think readers are a little too harsh about the book."

After chatting with Ai Wen for a few words, Lin Xiao didn't find any valuable information from the blue-haired young man's mouth, so he had to find a reason to leave.

The reason why Lin Xiao was interested in Ai Wen was because he thought that there was a very big irrationality in Ai Wen.

That's the perfect score he got in the written test.

In Lin Xiao's opinion, it was impossible to get a perfect score in the magic theory exam of the promotion ceremony.

He simulated the calculations countless times when he was alone.

This set of exam questions is by no means as "simple" as it seems.

Lin Xiao initially thought that the goddess Sifna couldn't get a full score by copying the answer because she was too sloppy.

However, when he tried to complete this set of test questions himself, he found that there was a problem with the test paper.

No matter what Lin Xiao does or how he checks, he will eventually get at least one question wrong.

It could be due to a writing error, or it could be because the answer was soaked in ink, or even some inexplicable and unexplained errors and omissions.

In short, no matter what method is used, no matter how many times you try, no matter how careful you are, Lin Xiao will not be able to get a full score in the three-hour answering time.

This strange phenomenon has always haunted him.

It wasn't until Lin Xiao saw Ai Wen, who got a full score in the exam, and saw the book called "On the Law of Cause and Effect and the Law of System" that Ai Wen was holding in his hand.

An incredible thought instantly flooded into his brain.

"Could it be that some of the novels written by Hananos are actually true?"

Lin Xiao, who was thinking about it carefully, couldn't think about anything else, and he didn't care about the conspiracy of the two contestants hiding in the corner at all.

"Camilla, this time it should be foolproof."

The one who spoke was none other than the seventh prince of the Dyson Kingdom, Hedu.

"Heh, that stupid woman actually wore what I gave her."

Looking at Sifner, who was staring blankly in the distance, Camilla sneered and shook her head.

"What the hell did you give her?"

Looking at the witch in front of him, Hedu's back couldn't help but feel a little cold.

Camila is just terrifying.

Although he had long heard that this old princess from the Boon Empire was a powerful and vicious potions mancer.

But after actually coming into contact with Camilla, Tsurudu even felt that the world completely underestimated her evil.

Camilla can smile the most innocent while committing the most unjustified crimes.

What she says can never be trusted.

If it weren't for the magic contract as a guarantee, Prince Hedu would never dare to cooperate with such a person.

"Could it be that gem you gave her what kind of curse item is it?"

Listening to Tsuruto's speculation, Camila showed a look of disdain on her face.

Although the man in front of him has some strength, he is still too stupid.

"Do you think I'm going to send some curse props out, don't people know how to use magic to identify the properties of props?"

As soon as he heard what Camila said, Tsuru was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, the ownership of what is given away will go to the holder.

As soon as Siffna casts identification magic on the brooch, the curse hidden in the item will be revealed immediately.

"And what did you give her?"

Looking at the confused Tsurudu, Camila raised the corners of her mouth a little proudly.

"What I gave her was a 'blessing gem'."

"'Blessed Gem'?"

Tsuru was a little confused, of course he had heard of this legendary rare treasure.

It is said that the "Blessed Gem" can bring good luck to the bearer, in addition to slightly increasing all stats.

"Why did you send her the 'Blessed Gem'? Don't you think she's a big threat to us enough? ”

Camila glanced at Tsurudu and chuckled, "Have you ever heard of such a saying?" ”

"The luck of a person's life is balanced."

In the world of Alpha, there is such a legend.

Although there are good and bad luck in a person's life.

But if you stretch the time to a person's life, luck is relatively conserved.

The so-called "if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future", and the so-called "Saion will not know if he loses his horse", which is what he said.

"The holder of the 'Blessing Gem' will condense the balance of luck for a lifetime into less than a week."

"In other words, those who hold the 'Blessing Gem' will have luck regaining the balance of a lifetime in a week's time."

After listening to Camilla's explanation, Tsuru still couldn't understand.

"Since you say that the luck of a person's life is balanced, isn't it still balanced to condense the luck of a lifetime into one week? What's the use of that? ”

Looking at the confused Tsuruto, Camila couldn't help but laugh.

"What if the acquisition of the 'Blessed Gem' would be considered good luck balanced with the bad luck of death?"

The old princess's words made the crane waistcoat break out in a cold sweat.

"This is the hidden attribute of the 'Blessed Gem', and the identification magic can't be revealed at all."

Camila was very proud.

This "Blessed Gem" was a treasure she had acquired by chance in an ancient ruin when she was young.

The balance of luck effect that comes with acquiring the "Blessed Gem" almost killed her.

Since then, Camilla, who was lucky enough to survive, secretly captured a lot of people to help her test the effect and use of this gem.

After sacrificing nearly a hundred people, the witch finally found the means to perfectly control the gem.

All of Camilla's plans are to use the gem efficiently to murder the target she wants to get rid of.

Even the legend of the "Blessed Gem" was deliberately spread by her.

With this vicious killer weapon, Camilla has managed to kill five powerful people who are far superior to herself, including one of the Otherworldly Heroes who broke through the first level cap.

"Elite Monsters aren't a joke."

Camila's smile grew darker.

"I almost lost my life to this gem in very safe circumstances."

"Think about it with your pig brain, is it possible for that stupid woman to survive the bad luck brought by the gem when she faces the elite demonic beasts?"
