Chapter 262: Heavenly Palace City above the clouds

Ninety-six contestants from eight competition regions left their hotel in the early morning and gathered at the Tianmen Gate in Zhongjing City on the flying boat of the organizers.

The Gate of Heaven is a giant magic teleportation network that runs through the Taishi Heavenly Empire, some are similar to the Floo Network, and each time you use it, you only need to pay a silver dollar to go to any place of the Heavenly Gate, thousands of miles away from it in an instant, but it has a similar disadvantage with the Floo Network, that is, when used continuously, the user itself will be disturbed by a strong sense of vertigo, similar to the increased version of motion sickness and seasickness, even if you drink a refreshing potion is not very effective, and if the distance of a single teleportation is too far, this vertigo will also increase.

Because of this, some people would rather choose a slower, but much more comfortable flying boat trip, and in England, wizards who don't like Floo fans and portkeys will mostly choose to ride their own rockets instead of choosing public transportation there, such as knight buses or something, which is even worse than Floo fans and portkeys.

But the most special point of the Gate of Heaven is that these Heavenly Gates in every city in the five lakes and seas are not the 'main gates', they only have magical entities, but not material entities, and there are only four real Heavenly Gates, that is, the four gates of Tiangong City hanging above the clouds: the four heavenly gates of east, west, north and south.

These four magnificent portals set up a complete teleportation network covering the entire realm, and as long as necessary, the Praetorian Guards stationed in Tiangong City could reach any location in the country in a very short time.

This Heavenly Palace City, which hangs high in the sky, is the artifact of the Zhenguo of the Taishi Heavenly Dynasty.

And now, the ladies of the heavens who stood out from the eight competition areas are about to arrive at the huge palace city above the heavenly dome, and a staircase extending to the sky has appeared at the heavenly gate of Zhongjing City, a step of 129,600 steps to ascend to the sky, the number of one yuan, walking on foot is a bit excessive, when these ninety-six people stepped on the stairs, the ladder that flowed on its own quickly sent them upward.

At this time, Harry had the heart to look at his future opponents, as the person standing at the highest level of the ladder, Harry only had to turn his head to see the crowd behind him, the position was exquisite, the first winner of each division was qualified to stand at the front, but there were two divisions because of the large number of people, the quota was not eight, but doubled sixteen, the East Asian division where the Taishi Celestial Dynasty was located and the Sino-Soviet mixed division were sixteen selected places.

This can't be said to be unfair, because there are too many people in these two divisions, the Taishi Celestial Dynasty has the largest number of spellcasters in the world, more than double the number of second-place Soviet Union, and occupies twenty-five percent of the total population of spellcasters in the entire wizarding world, which only counts the number of human spellcasters, and spellcasters like the panda people are not counted.

In the wizarding world, the number of spellcasters can largely measure the strength level of a magic country, after all, the forest is big, what kind of birds can't be seen, the base is large, what kind of genius can't be seen?

And when Harry turned around, he could easily notice that the stares that were being cast at him were different from Xiong Dezheng, who was waving and smirking at him, and the other guys who looked at him had a little mischievous 'banter' in their eyes.

The European zone is a beginner's zone, and this is something that contestants from other zones know very well.

"Hey~"

Harry showed a sunny smile, exuding a harmless aura of humans and animals, and in the days he spent with his second uncle, Harry also learned how to hide his own lingering death aura that penetrated into his bone marrow like a light bulb.

Behind Harry, who were also from the European arena, they all looked away when Harry turned his head, turned their heads, and prayed in their hearts that they would not run into this guy again in the knockout tournament later.

The knockout round of the ring competition is very cruel, the one-on-one ring is an absolute ring to show personal strength, if you want to win the championship, you can, keep winning, break everyone to win the championship, even if you only lose one, the combination of the championship gold cup + gold medal will become the champion gold medal, and the gold content is not a little low.

Those who have won the gold cup and gold medal will be called the real duel champion, and after winning the championship, if you want to continue to participate in the competition, then you must continue to maintain an undefeated victory in the world, which is why the champion of the championship has such a high gold content, because once you lose, your record will stop there forever, and there will be no second chance to make a comeback.

After Professor Flitwick lost to Big Ivan and was cut off from a five-game winning streak, the Worlds would not send him another invitation to participate, but would send him a new invitation to witness the birth of a new king in the future.

Although the gold content of the youth competition is slightly lower, the champions who go out from here can also be recognized by people, and the most direct expression is the official resource tilt and the investment of the event group.

The speed of the ladder in the sky was extremely fast, and in a short time they were already standing high in the sky, the clouds that had drifted from them turned into a white carpet and spread under their feet, and the Heavenly Palace City, which had only seen some vague shadows when they looked up, also revealed their true bodies after they passed through the clouds.

This is a length and width of about ten kilometers, stretching a grand building complex, the sea of clouds around it has flowing lines like water waves, the huge heavenly gate is nearly 300 meters high, the left and right span of nearly a thousand meters, and behind the door, there is a huge square that has been completed, the duel platform covered with red cloth is dazzling and eye-catching, and those invited audiences and judges have been seated.

Some formulaic speeches opened the prelude to the Young Spellcaster Duel Tournament, the players who lined up in turn drew their own number plates, before the organizing committee did not arrange a party that allowed the players to know each other, although staying in the same hotel, but unless it was a fellow villager or happened to meet, the contestants did not know each other much, the first three randomly selected ring matches will directly eliminate four-fifths of the people, ninety-six people will directly eliminate eighty-four people, The remaining twelve with the highest scores advanced to the truly brutal final stage.

"Looks like I'm in luck."

Harry reached out and touched the lottery box, where the white jade plate had the serial number '1' written in gold ink.

"I'm telling me that I'm the champion this time, right?"

Harry ignored the brief sneer behind him, and simply walked quietly to the lounge to see who his first opponent would be in a few minutes.

"I hope I can have some fun, let me see how much the guys outside the novice zone are better than those in the novice zone."

I'll slow down, don't worry~
