Hearing him say this, seeing the change in his expression, everyone's hearts were pumping, and they all thought of the final ending.

On the screen, Antonidas slowly closed his eyes, and frost quickly appeared on his skin, so fast that in the blink of an eye, he completely froze himself into a large ice cube.

Then, the image disappears and the screen changes back to its original appearance.

Although it was only an hour of footage, Leo could see that the real His Majesty Antonidas had the same optimistic personality and tenacious belief as the soul fragment he had come into contact with.

But even if he is as strong as him, there will eventually be insurmountable difficulties that he must face, and he has to choose to seal himself.

An indescribably heavy atmosphere permeated the councillors, and it seemed that everyone's breathing had become a little heavier.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, he ...... Your Majesty he...... Where are you now?"

Erling Freud replied: "Your Majesty is in a very safe place, and not only will no one be able to disturb him now, but we will also make sure that no one can disturb him in the future." ”

"Is Your Majesty dead?" asked again.

Erling Freud shook his head: "We don't know that His Majesty's magic of self-sealing is unprecedented, and it is completely beyond our imagination and understanding. In this regard, we can only guess that perhaps His Majesty is still alive and waiting for the day when he will be able to return. ”

Seeing that there were still people to ask questions, Erling Freud preemptively said: "The reason why the council has decided to let you see these images is not for you to worship Your Majesty, and it is by no means what Your Majesty wants to see. Our intention in doing this is to hope that everyone will understand how much His Majesty has paid for magic to be where it is today. In the same way, not only Your Majesty, but also how many great ancestors have devoted their lives to faith and effort to magic. Even paid for the sake of magic with blood and lives. ”

"You have just embarked on the path of magic, like seeds, waiting for the rain and dew to be watered. And if you have the will to continue walking, to grow into a towering tree, and to contribute to the development of magic, then those of us who have come here are willing to help you in any way we can. ”

"The last thing I want to say is that the magic of freedom will never perish, and all beings are equal in the face of truth!"

High-pitched and impassioned words. Echoing in the wide chamber, deafening.

Enthusiastic applause erupted again, and almost everyone was flushed and emotional, eager to immediately devote themselves to the study of magic, to become like Antonidas, like so many of their ancestors.

Even if you are as calm as Leo, you will inevitably be infected in such an atmosphere. Wherever, whenever it is. There is always a group of people who are willing to fight for their own hearts, and he also aspires to be like that.

Erling Floyd gave another mage salute and nodded to a few councillors not far away. Turning away from the podium, he returned to the legislature's seat.

The big fat man walked over quickly, took the place of Erling Freud on the podium, and said, "Dear students. I'm Gail Lick, a member of the Supreme Council of Magic, and I'm honored to be the chief examiner for this magic competition. I announce below. The competition has officially begun. Next, I will introduce the specific process of the competition. ”

Hearing this voice, everyone's attention immediately hit the big fat man. No matter how excited they are, they don't hesitate to calm down immediately, because they have to participate in the game, and if they don't listen carefully to the rules, they will be unlucky.

Gail Lick continued: "The competition is divided into three steps, the first step is the preliminary round, where all 121 houses will participate at the same time, and the top 16 houses will advance to the semi-finals according to the rankings. ”

"In the second step of the semi-finals, according to the draw, every four colleges will be divided into a group and adopt a round-robin system, and the top two teams in each group will enter the final elimination round. ”

"The third step of the knockout round is still based on the draw, and the two will face each other until the final champion, runner-up and third place are determined. ”

"It sounds like a cup game in a previous life. Leo pondered in his heart, and then lowered his voice and asked Siliman beside him: "Director, is this the system used in previous games?"

"Pretty much. Silriman replied quickly, and immediately motioned for Leo to stop talking and listen carefully to Gail Lick's introduction.

After a slight pause to let everyone digest the contents, Gail Lick suddenly threw another bombshell: "In the past, we used to separate the students of level 3 and level 4, but this time we want to make some changes, so this time the competition is no longer divided into levels, and the competition is played in groups of four people from each house. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, obviously no one expected such a change.

Fortunately, the change was fair to all the colleges, so no one objected.

When the voice faded down, Gail Lick snapped his fingers, and a map appeared on the screen.

"I'm going to introduce you to the preliminary round, and if you can see it, the game is taking place in the area shown on the map, which we will call the Wild Survival Competition. ”

Leo didn't know if the map would be distributed to the contestants, so he hurriedly opened the professor and copied it. And those who had the same idea as him did not say less, and some people even directly took out the paper and pen they carried with them and quickly started recording.

As you can see, the area shown on the map is quite large, and there are mountains, rivers, swamps, forests, and other terrain.

Gael Lick ignored the act of recording the map, and continued: "The content of the contest is simple, no one is allowed to bring any of their own magic items into the competition except for the items we have handed out. However, we have placed a lot of items in this area, including a variety of raw materials, and magical equipment with various functions, and it depends on your ability to find them and use them smoothly. ”

"Most importantly, we have a large number of Lordaeron insignia in this area, and all you have to do is collect as many of them as you can. ”

"Please note that this game will last for three days and nights, but it is not allowed to attack each other during the day, and only during the sunset and sunrise phases can they compete with each other for the emblem. If you attack other people beyond the specified time, you will be directly sentenced to cancellation of the competition. At the same time, I ask you to show the strongest fighting spirit. Don't worry about hurting your opponents, we've made all the arrangements so that no one gets hurt during the match. ”

You can tell that this game is bound to be very intense. It is not only a test of the students' ability to survive and various magical academic abilities, but also a test of combat effectiveness and cooperation.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's because of luck or because Ms. Casfe knows something, in short, the four of Ravington already have some experience working together, and at this point, they should be able to take the advantage. So much so that both Sanders and Sibberton seemed a little eager to take the plunge.

Gail Lick looked around. Finally, he said: "The tournament will officially start tomorrow, and for the rest of the day, you can pick up some items and relax in Lordaeron. That's it for the welcome meeting, and you're ready to leave. ”

..................

At ten o'clock in Celeman's room, six people from the Reventon Academy gathered to study the items they had received from the magic golem. As for Gail Lick's suggestion of a visit to Lordaeron, no one is in the mood for it at the moment.

On the table were four ordinary magic robes. Other than being relatively sturdy, there are no special features or logos.

Four kettles made of unintelligible metal and four small multifunctional daggers, presumably for drinking and eating.

A simple magic map, according to the instructions. It also features the number of emblems that show the top 16 teams.

A storage ring with one cubic meter of space.

"It's just a little thing, it's too little. Sanders grumbled as he took off some of the magical equipment on his body and handed them over to Rubersky for safekeeping.

Sileman shook his head. "This game is just to test your individual abilities, and of course you won't give out too many things. As mentioned in the previous introduction, there will be a lot of supply points in it. At that time, it will depend on your individual hands-on ability. Also, you're playing as a team, and you can't do without a unified goal, so I suggest you choose a captain first. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanders, Seaberton, and Léa looked at Leo at the same time.

Siliman smiled, "So, you've already discussed?"

Leia immediately replied: "That's right, it's already been discussed, it's Leo, and he will be the captain and command us to participate." ”

Siliman looked at Leo and asked, "How is it, is there a problem?" ”

It's already at this time, what else can Leo say, he can only shake his head and say: "No problem, thank you for the trust of the team." ”

"Very well!" said Silliman, with a satisfied expression, "and what do you think of a match?"

Leo thought about it for a while, and quickly remembered his previous adventure in the "Prosperous Water Pavilion", and said: "Since it is a team competition, I think the cooperation between us will definitely become more and more important. And if you want to cooperate well, the best way is to learn from each other's strengths. So now I want to find out what each of you is good at. ”

Silimane's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this proposal is too good, Leo, let you say it first." ”

Leo had been prepared for a long time, and immediately said: "I am a specialist in the Plastic Energy faction, with strong attack ability, but insufficient defense, my mental power control, endurance and memory are not bad, and I am also relatively good at making magic potions, and now I have mastered the recipes of thirty-seven primary potions and sixteen intermediate potions." ”

Leia said: "Contrary to Leo, I am a specialist in protection, with weak attack power, but I am proficient in the application of various defense fields; I have certain advantages in mental power locking and target judgment; I have some experience in the production of magic equipment, but I am not very proficient." ”

Next is Sanders: "I'm a spell specialist, and my offense and defense are relatively balanced, and I don't have anything particularly outstanding, but I know a lot about the laying of magic arrays." ”

Finally, there was Seaberton, who said proudly: "I am a prophecy specialist, good at reconnaissance and identification, as long as you protect me, I can play a very big role!"

As soon as the words fell, except for Siliman and Rubersky, who knew something about it, the remaining three all showed stunned expressions. None of them expected that Seaburon would be a prophecy mage with a relatively small number of learners.

Although according to the book definition, prophecy magic allows the caster to know long-hidden secrets, predict the future, find hidden things, and see through deceptive spells. Some prophetic spells can even tell the caster which enemy you're fighting from which the next sword will swing from, and spells like Time Rewind and Great Prophecy are even more powerful.

However, prophecy magic is often criticized by mages of other factions in many ways, such as judging tomorrow's luck by using magic to simulate astrology, and judging the quality of a person's personality by analyzing a person's face through magic, which is always regarded as a rather unreliable behavior.

Fortunately, as Seaberton said, prophecy magic does play a significant role in exploration, and it is quite good to use it to find emblems. And as a mage, he can't be completely ignorant of the magic of other factions.

After reviewing the information of the four people, Leo said confidently: "Judging from the current situation, our team has no obvious weaknesses, and we can also make a difference in the basic sub-school. I think that as long as we can play in a targeted manner in the competition, we will definitely have no problem getting into the semi-finals of the top 16. ”

"Of course, we can definitely do it!" Sanders responded excitedly.

Seaberton was even more angry: "Don't worry, I'm here, I'm sure to find a lot of emblems!"

Even Leia, who has always been calm, is smiling, obviously quite satisfied with the combination of abilities of the four people.

Seeing that the four students were so confident, Silliman was very happy in his heart, I don't know what the last time the college achieved good results in the Lordaeron competition, if it can perform this time, it will definitely be beneficial for the development of the academy in the future.

However, for the sake of safety, he still decided to pour a basin of cold water on the students first: "Before the competition started, you cocked your tail? Let me tell you, none of the people who can come to participate in the competition are easy to deal with! If you have such a relaxed attitude, let alone the top 16, I am afraid that you will be kicked out of the arena before the end of the competition! I don't want to put any pressure on you, I just hope that you don't miss this rare opportunity." Don't think about the ranking, just play your best and don't leave regrets!" )
