Chapter Seventy-Two: Nobody Wants
The day spent in the Starry Villas was the happiest day since the goddess Sifna descended to the mortal world.
Not only are there soft carpets to sleep on, but there are also an inexhaustible array of sumptuous treats prepared by the Council of the Starry Spires with magic.
The goddess is really easy to satisfy.
"Brother Midnight, I'm leaving, I'm going to the trial."
Looking at the time, there was still an hour to go until noon, and the goddess finally put down the strawberry cake in her hand with satisfaction.
Lin Xiao has always been a little curious, why does this woman eat so much and not gain weight, is there a black hole hidden in her stomach?
"Wait, I'll go with you."
The goddess stared at Lin Xiao for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Why does this stinky guy feel different today?"
Sifner's intuition was not wrong at all, the "Lin Xiao" in front of her was fake.
The real Lin Xiao is in the Ring of Anubis, observing the actions of the goddess through the eyes of his "mimic real body".
He was fully prepared to help the goddess pass the trial.
Next, he only needed to wait for the second trial to officially begin, and Lin Xiao could start implementing his plan.
Of course, the goddess does not know this.
She just felt that today's Lin Xiao gave people a particularly gentle feeling.
Under the guidance of the Magister of the Council, Siffna took the fake Lin Xiao to the entrance of the "Demon Prism Stone Secret Realm" located deep underneath the Star Temple.
In the center of a rather large hall, there were already standing among the promoted people who had participated in the second trial.
These people seem to be standing randomly, but in fact they have formed several small groups.
Obviously, they have been secretly working hard in order to compete for the spot of the ten Magisters.
"Camila!"
Sifner ran straight to the Potions Warlock, who was talking to a few male magicians.
"Camila, team up with me."
The goddess is not completely unthinking about teaming up.
Of the other twenty-three promotionees, the only one she knew was Camilla.
Sifner felt that this "kind" "girl" would never refuse her.
Of course, the outcome was predestined.
"I'm sorry, pretty big sister, I've already agreed to join their team."
Camila smiled and looked back at the three mages behind her.
In addition to Prince Dyson, Daniel, the jade mage, and Spsilon, the white-clothed magician, are all in Camilla's team.
These four strong contestants stood together, and they had vaguely become the "strongest team" that everyone present was afraid of.
"Huh? That's ......."
Disappointment is written on the face of the goddess with a capital letter.
She didn't have the habit of preparing at least five alternatives like Lin Xiao.
"I'd suggest you find the team quickly, or you'll have to hang out with the rest of the guys you don't want."
Prince Hedu reminded Sifna "kindly", but his eyes were full of vigilance.
As to why Sifna's dark-haired servant was able to see through the secret of the "Blessed Gem", Tsurudu and Camilla argued for a long time last night.
Whether this farming druid is really stupid or pretending to be crazy and stupid has always been the focus of discussion between the two.
"I can't believe that she herself didn't notice it in the slightest, but that her minions saw through my methods."
In Camilla's mind, what Lin Xiao said in public before must have been instructed by Saffner behind his back.
Of course, Lin Xiao also gave her a very bad feeling.
However, as the eldest princess of the Boon Empire, Camilla did not think that she would be afraid of this gloomy-faced retinue.
"You're very good at acting, do you think that woman's stupidity is acting?"
As a prince, Hedu naturally reads countless people.
Judging from his experience, Siffner's stupidity was definitely not acted.
If you look away, then this woman is really terrible.
"I can't tell ......"
Camila's vest also oozed a cold sweat.
If Siffner is really pretending, then judging from her words and deeds, I am afraid that her acting skills and scheming are beyond the scope of human beings.
The two of them, who were very scary, no longer dared to underestimate Sifner, but really regarded her as their worst enemy.
"Okay, then I'll ask someone."
Although the goddess had some regrets, she didn't care too much.
There are so many people, wouldn't it be nice to find a random team to join?
However, what happened next made her heart colder and colder.
"Sorry, our team is full."
"I'm sorry, but your Excellency should find another team."
It is no coincidence that Sifner has been rejected one after another.
Last night, after Camilla completed the construction of her team, she used various means to threaten and coerce all the participants who could cast healing magic to agree to her request.
Refuse to include Seve in the team.
Driven by the Second Trials format, healers are bound to be the core of the team.
Rejected by all the healers, Sifner was of course left to form a team with the "nobody's wanted" waste.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The contestants in the hall also basically registered their squad members with the referee of the Star Spire.
In the end, there were only four people left.
Sifner, Lukes, Aven, and a young man who looked like a ruffian.
"Lao Tzu has really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes."
With a bitter face, Lux found the "fake Lin Xiao" who had been following the goddess and was silent.
"I just said two good words for this eldest sister after you left yesterday, but I couldn't find the team."
"Big guy, you have to help me."
As a warrior from another world, although Lux's strength is not top-notch, it is also very good.
He barely passed the first trial with a score of 60 points, and originally had the idea of finding a team to gangster to see if he could get lucky to get the title of "Magister".
However, seeing that all the healers were poached by other teams, he was always turned away.
The clever Lux reacted immediately.
I was calculated.
And the reason for being calculated is that he said a few words of justice for Sifner and offended the princess Camilla of the Boon Empire.
The timid Lux was now very panicked.
For he had heard that in the second trial, the probability of death was much greater than in the first.
He had even heard that in the previous promotion ceremonies, less than ten people had survived to obtain the title of Magister.
However, the format of the second trial of the promotion ceremony does not allow anyone to quit.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have killed that monster......"
Lukes, who was riding a tiger, saw the black-haired man in the crowd, and immediately his eyes lit up.
"Big guy, I know you have a way, right? Can you save me? ”
Seeing that "Fake Lin Xiao" smiled silently, Lux continued to ask, "Or is there any way you can get me out of the trial?" ”
"I don't want to play anymore, I want to go home."
Forcibly abstaining before the trial begins will result in a severe punishment of "being detained by the Spire for the rest of his life and reduced to a servant" by the Minaret Council.
This is more uncomfortable than death for the arrogant Lukes.
"You want to quit?"
The gentle tone of "fake Lin Xiao" made Lux think that he saw hope.
"Fake Lin Xiao" said: "It's very simple, aren't you an ice and fire mage?" ”
Lux said, "Yes, don't you think the profession of Ice and Fire Mage is very handsome? ”
"Fake Lin Xiao" said: "Later, when the second trial begins, you will directly use fire magic to blow up your legs and hands, and then use ice magic to freeze the wound and stop the bleeding, so that you can exit the trial alive?" ”
Lux was silent for a long time, and then said, "I did this, how long will it take for them to get me out of the secret realm?" ”
"Fake Lin Xiao" said: "The competition system prohibits other teams from attacking the abstaining players who are completely incapacitated, but it is said that they will treat the injured after the trial. ”
Lux said: "That means that after I blow up my hands and feet, I will have to wait two days to be rescued?" ”
"Fake Lin Xiao" smiled: "That's right. ”
Lux said, "Do I have any other choice?" ”
"Fake Lin Xiao" said: "Of course, protect that woman with all your might, she will lead you to victory." ”
Lux said: "Big guy, don't lie to me, my only drawback is that I trust others too easily." ”
"Fake Lin Xiao" said: "I never lie to people. ”
Lux said: "Okay big guy, I'll believe you once!" ”
In this way, Lux took his first step to become the new "Holy Magister" of the Alpha World.
