Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Third Trial Begins
"Brother Midnight, wouldn't it seem strange for me to wear ten rings?"
Looking at the glittering golden rings on his fingertips, Siffner felt a little embarrassed.
Rings are sometimes similar to watches.
In the world before Lin Xiao crossed over, wearing an Omega constellation watch worth millions of dollars, others would think you were tasteful and heroic.
But if you wear ten at the same time......
Most people think there's something wrong with your brain.
"Less nonsense, wasn't it the same when I was in Warcraft Forest before?"
Sifner did wear ten rings when he ravaged Ralph in the Beast Forest.
But it was in the forest, and no one saw it at all.
Now to let her wear so many rings in front of more than 100,000 viewers, the goddess still feels a little embarrassed.
"Did I make you only add a little bit of your attack skills?"
Lin Xiao had a headache, and Sifna was too angry.
If it weren't for the equipment he gave her, I'm afraid the goddess might not be able to cope with the third trial.
"Would you like to take one less with you? Just wear nine? ”
"No way!"
Decisively rejected Sifner's request, Lin Xiao fiercely put the last ring on Sifner's ring finger.
Each of the ten rings he had given to Saffna was a treasure that Adam had carefully synthesized together.
+5000 points for all stats.
+100 level for all skills.
Maximizes magic resistance across all systems.
All ailment resistances are maximized.
All Special Effects Resistance is maximized.
The 10th rank of magic in each department is granted, and the number of charges is 10,000 times.
These rings, as long as they take out any of them, will set off a full-scale war between the three clans of people, gods, and demons for the sake of the treasure.
It's such a powerful thing, and the goddess Saffna is not happy to wear it.
It's really a blessing in the midst of blessings, and I don't know how to be blessed
"Don't be in a hurry, there is still this robe, gloves, shoes, belt, necklace......"
Lin Xiao felt that he was like a nanny.
Finally, the "fully armed" goddess Sifna stepped into the Magister Arena of the Council of the Starry Spires.
Just five hours ago, the third trial of the Magister's promotion ceremony officially began.
Because Newint's identity as a "demon entrant" was exposed, he was deprived of his qualification as a mage, and Du Long, the black mage from the Fenglan Empire, was also fortunate to be a candidate for the qualification of a mage.
If the Magister Promotion Ceremony is the biggest event of the Star Spire Mage Council, the Karanlim Demon Guide Country, and even the entire Human Kingdom of the Alpha Continent.
These ten new Magisters are the well-deserved protagonists of this grand event.
Amid the cheers of more than 100,000 spectators from all over the human territory of the Alpha Continent, nine powerful magicians and goddess Sifna walked into the preparation table of the Magister Arena together.
"Magister promotion ceremony, the final link, the third trial, officially begins!"
As a magister belonging to the council magically transmitted the message announcing the beginning of the trial to the ears of every spectator, the thousands of years old arena reverberated with long-lasting applause.
Of the ten people sitting on the preparation table, one of them will inevitably become a "Great Magister" in today's trial.
That is the ultimate goal that is difficult to achieve in the eyes of countless young people who pursue glory and power in their lifetimes.
Feeling more than 100,000 pairs of eyes full of envy, jealousy, admiration, reverence and other emotions, the goddess Sifna, who could not hide her smugness, almost forgot that she was able to sit here almost all of Lin Xiao's credit.
"I would like to ask Holy Magister Solomon to announce the rules of the Third Trials format!"
For a while, all eyes of the audience were on the rostrum on the side of the arena.
Unlike the goddess Sifna, who was "not very good on the stage", Solomon, the Holy Magister who represented the strongest combat power of mankind, walked to the front of the stage with a very elegant posture.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being here to witness the birth of another pillar of humanity's future."
Solomon was magnificent, and his snow-white beard glistened in the sunlight, fascinating many people.
The rules of the third trial were also explained in the Holy Magister's voice, and they were clear one by one.
Lin Xiao, who entered the preparation table as the entourage of "Butcher", naturally knew the content of Solomon's preaching through various means.
In the final level of the Magister Trial, the rules are actually very simple.
To sum it up in one sentence, it's unlimited fighting.
Any means, any equipment, any props are allowed.
Everything is free.
The list of promoters for each duel will be determined by lottery, and if they lose the duel, they will be kicked out of the Archmage shortlist.
This format is a great test of luck for every participant.
If a contestant is unlucky, there is a good chance that he will be drawn in a row and forced to form a "wheel war".
And if someone's luck is extremely good, they may not be drawn even a single time and go straight to the final.
According to the Council of the Starry Spires, luck is also part of strength.
The third trial is a double test of luck and strength for every new Magus.
"Every Magister is the precious combat power and wealth of my human race, and there will be absolutely no casualties in the third trial, and no casualties will be allowed."
"I will personally ensure the safety of every participant."
Unlike the first two trials, there will be absolutely no casualties in the third trial.
Solomon will give each new Magus a treasure known as a stand-in rune.
This esoteric talisman can prevent a fatal wound to the wearer in a single day, and isolate all damage for a matter of seconds.
In this way, under the supervision of the Holy Magister Solomon, the lives of the contestants can be ensured.
"Why can this thing withstand a fatal injury?"
Curious, Sifna received her "double rune" from a magister who was in charge of distributing talismans.
"Show me."
Lin Xiao snatched the rune from the goddess's hand and examined it carefully.
This ball the size of an oak tree could have such a magical effect, which was also quite surprising to Lin Xiao.
"Adam doesn't seem to have synthesized anything like that yet."
Pulling out a short wand of magic infusion, Lin Xiao released a fifteenth-rank identification magic at the "Stand-in Rune".
"It turns out that this thing was not synthesized through equipment, but made by alchemy."
Equipment synthesis and alchemy are the two major manufacturing systems in the world of Alpha.
The former is better at crafting equipment, while the latter is better at crafting magic items and various potions.
Adam was only proficient in the former, and was an amateur in alchemy.
Of course, as the Demon God of the Destroying World, Lin Xiao was not unable to make such a thing.
It's just that this kind of prop, which can only withstand fatal damage once a day, is too low-level for him.
"Hmph, there's something wrong with this thing."
Through the fifteenth-rank identification magic, Lin Xiao easily saw through the deliberately hidden information in the "Stand-in Rune" belonging to Sifna.
"This is the tenth rank of identification camouflage magic?"
Sifna's talisman was tampered with.
The once-a-day Critical Resistance effect has been depleted.
"Looks like someone is trying to kill you."
Lin Xiao threw the "stand-in rune" to the bewildered goddess Sifna again.
