Chapter 90: The curtain of the game
After discussing the possible situation and carefully studying the specific rules of the game that Gael Lick did not fully explain, the time soon came into the evening.
Knowing that this might be the only time to eat something serious in the next few days, they didn't let go of it, and asked Carl to bring a lot of food.
After a hearty meal, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest and get ready for tomorrow's official competition.
Having eaten and drunk, Leo lay on the bed. It was only seven o'clock in the evening, and it was impossible to fall asleep, so he asked, "Carl, how many years has the Lordaeron Contest been held?"
If Carl knew something about this, it would certainly not hurt to involve a little bit of information, and even if Carl didn't know anything, he wouldn't have anything to lose.
To Leo's great surprise, it only took a second for Karl to respond: "It has been since the third year of His Majesty's deep sleep. ”
"Can you tell me more about how this game was decided?" Leo asked.
Apparently not the first time Karl had answered this question, and immediately recounted: "At that time, after a period of peace that had begun to flourish, Lordaeron had become gloomy after the loss of His Majesty, and not only had many projects that were about to be achieved come to a halt, but even there were signs of division within Lordaeron. ”
"Everyone hopes that His Majesty will wake up and be able to redirect the path of magic. ”
"However, Your Majesty did not, even though they tried various methods, they couldn't even figure out what His Majesty's seal was. Sensing their own inadequacy, Lordaeron's first generation of parliamentarians wanted to draw fresh blood from the youngsters, hoping to gain new perspectives and perspectives. ”
"But at that time, Lordaeron's influence was far from what it is today, and the best young people were basically controlled by the academies that had existed for thousands of years. It's simply not realistic to try to understand them. ”
"After some discussion, the parliamentarians decided to create such a competition. As you know, all intelligent beings, including me, are competitive, so the proposal for the contest was warmly welcomed as soon as it was announced. Almost every college wants to know its true strengths, strengths, and weaknesses. Such a match between young mages. It just provides a perfect platform. At the same time, if you can win the competition, it will also be very helpful for the reputation of the college, and the students recruited will naturally be more excellent. ”
"In the process of the subsequent competition, there were indeed many heroes, and some of them were successfully absorbed by Lordaeron, but there was still no progress in breaking His Majesty's seal after hundreds of years. As a result, this original goal has gradually been forgotten. But the game was preserved and became a magical extravaganza. ”
"I see. Leo nodded to himself, then said, "Thank you for explaining, Carl." Is there anything I need to pay special attention to during the competition?"
The question was obviously out of line, but Carl seemed to misunderstand him and replied: "During the initial game, due to the imperfection of protection. There are often some casualties. However, as the number of competitions increases, so does the experience of the councillors. So you don't have to worry about anything. As long as your soul is not shattered instantly, even if your body is completely damaged, the councillors will be able to restore you to your original state in a very short time. ”
"What if...... Is your soul completely damaged?" Leo wasn't worried about anything, just a little worried.
Without the slightest pause, Karl replied, "The last time this happened was many years ago. Now councillors will be extra careful when choosing where to play, to make sure that nothing inside will have this ability. And only with the attacks of your level 3 and 4 mages. It is also absolutely impossible to let other people's souls be shattered in an instant. ”
Hearing him say this, Leo suddenly remembered that the academy had not participated in many classes before, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "The last time this happened the last time you said, it wouldn't have happened to us people in Ravinton." ”
"I've got you covered, if you want to know. You can ask the person concerned. ”
"Personnel concerned......" Leo smiled bitterly, and no longer thought about the matter, but said, "There is another question, if I get a good result in the competition, will I get any reward?"
"Of course, the rewards are different every time. The councillors will tailor something for the winner, including exclusive magic, exclusive equipment, exclusive rare potions, exclusive mentors, and even an internship at Lordaeron. ”
Leo was immediately impressed, the quality of what he got from Lordaeron was definitely much better than what he got in the Academy, and it would be a lifetime of glory!
After chatting casually with Carl for a while, the drowsiness gradually rose, Leo closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
…………
Before dawn the next day, under Karl's arrangement, all the contestants were once again gathered in the House of Lords.
Knowing that the game was about to start, the people from each academy were grinding their fists, and at the same time, they were all looking at the people from other academies to patrol back and forth, firstly, to analyze the opponent's strength in advance, and secondly, to put some pressure on the opponent.
At this time, the big fat councillor Gail Lick appeared on the rostrum and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Lordaeron Young Mage Contest will start soon, please get ready, and be ready to give full play to your strength and talent." ”
"Remember, you are the future of magic, the hope that our mages can continue to stand here!"
"Now I announce, the game begins!"
As soon as the words fell, Leo suddenly felt his body begin to fall rapidly, and it turned out that the seat was flying down like an elevator.
This lasted only a few seconds, and then Leo's eyes lit up, and by the time he saw his surroundings again, the scene had changed completely.
Even if he didn't have to look around, he could know with only the perception of his mental power that behind him was the turbulent sea, in front of him was a long sandy beach, and in the distance was a lush deep forest, just as described on the map, he was now on an island.
Leo didn't study the terrain and location. He immediately sought out his teammates.
Fortunately, the other three were not far away, and around them, along the entire coastline, there were so many contestants from other houses.
The four of them quickly gathered together, and Leia took the lead and said, "Leo." What do we do next?"
Leo looked around and replied, "There's no supply point on the beach, I think we have to find one quickly, what do you think?"
"That's right!" Leia and the other two immediately agreed.
Leo didn't move immediately, but asked Leia, who was in charge of carrying the items, to take out the map, and said in his heart: "Professor, analyze the current position based on what I just saw." ”
After just a few seconds, the professor replied, "The following are possible punctuation. Please receive. ”
As soon as it finished speaking, three points of light appeared on the map that Leo had stored in his consciousness, and under each point of light there were specific possible values, which were 94.1%, 63.5%, and 41.2%, respectively.
After distinguishing it, he quickly determined that the performance with the highest probability must be where he is now.
With this in mind, Leo pointed to a beach sign in the southwest corner of the map. "We're here now, two kilometers to the back," he said. There should be a lake. Even if you don't encounter a supply point along the way, there will certainly be no shortage of food sources there. ”
Sanders looked at the map and wondered, "How do you know we're here?"
There was no way to answer this question, so Leo could only say perfunctorily: "I guess, it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Leia didn't ask anything, just nodded and said, "Okay." So be it. ”
Sanders and Sibberton naturally had no opinion, and the four of them immediately hit the road. And at the moment on the beach, many teams are still discussing. Seeing that they have chosen a direction, the vast majority of teams will not choose there again, after all, few people will have the idea of being able to pick up something cheap behind others.
Get away from the beach. Soon, the four of them had entered the forest. Among them, Lea, who has the strongest attack and defensive ability, leads the way, Seaberton is second, Saunders is third, and Leo, who has the strongest attack power, stays last.
As expected, the forest is full of species, with birds chirping, insects and even the occasional beast.
Since they had to find a supply point, the four of them wasted no time hunting wild beasts. The game will last for three days, and even if it is urgent, you have to be fit, so they just keep moving forward at a steady pace.
A few minutes later, Seaburdon, who was walking in the middle of the procession, suddenly called a halt and began to recite the incantation.
Knowing what he had discovered, the other three waited honestly, even if they didn't bother, they didn't shine.
In just a few seconds, Sibberton's magic was cast, and there was no special effect, so he walked straight to a large tree surrounded by several people, and smashed it with a punch.
"Bang!"
The seemingly sturdy bark of the tree was smashed open, revealing the swarthy hole inside.
"Camouflage!" Sanders shouted, hurriedly running forward to check, and then cheered, "Ha!
Leo and Leia glanced at each other, neither of them expected Siberton to find the supply point so quickly, and immediately came over.
In the hollow of the tree, a small magic box sits quietly inside, waiting for someone to open it.
Sanders was about to grab the box without thinking, but was stopped by Leo.
"What's wrong?" asked the little fat man, puzzled.
Leo shook his head and said, "Check it, be careful of traps." ”
Hearing him say this, Sanders reacted, and suddenly felt a little afraid, and at the same time secretly a little annoyed by his recklessness.
Naturally, Seaberton still has to do this detection work, and he cast another magic spell, and quickly said: "There is indeed a trap, it should be a curse, I can't see what it is." ”
Leia smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come." ”
As she spoke, she also cast a spell, and after a short spell, a cloud of white light wrapped the sealing box, and under the influence of the force field, the lid of the box was backlogged.
In the next second, a dark green glow bloomed in the box, but it did not seep out, but was completely absorbed by the white light.
"It looks like a poisonous curse, and it's not very powerful, but if you get infected, it's quite troublesome. Leia explained, dispelling her magic, and reached out to take out the sealed box, which was completely safe.
In the box, there are five vials, two containing liquids, three containing powder, and in the corner of the box, there is also a purple thin crystal flake that shines brightly.
As a woman, Leia naturally took out the crystal first.
"It's ......"
The pattern on the crystal flakes was very clear in the sunlight shining into the forest, which were eight circles around a staff, symbolizing the eight schools and the magical power itself.
"Lordaeron Emblem!" the other three said at the same time.
"So lucky?" Sanders couldn't believe it, and asked Lea to take a look at the map, and was surprised: "Haha, luck is really good!"
It turned out that in the blank column on the left side of the map, the name of the Reventon School of Magic had appeared, ranking first, followed by a number 1. Apparently, they were the first team to discover the magic emblem.
"How can you call it lucky? I'm more powerful, okay?" said Seaberton smugly.
Leia was also quite happy, but still kept calm and said: "There are emblems, we just got one, don't be too happy too early, hurry up and see what these things are for." ”
"Yes, yes. Sanders patted his head, took out a vial, unscrewed the lid and looked at it.
All four of them have a complete magical education, and they do not need to rely on the identification of common magical materials. His spiritual power is now extremely valuable, and it must be used to find supplies, and it can't be wasted.
After a while, all five vials were identified, two of the liquids were nilan grass juice and myriapod blood, and three powders were earth spirit stone powder, crystalline carbon powder, and dragon core bark shavings.
Leo went through the potions he knew in his mind and said, "If I get some pure water, I can make a simple binding potion with myriapod blood and crystal carbon powder, but the effect is not very good, do you have any other ideas?"
Sanders said with some hesitation: "These things can be made into an isolation circle, but I lack a magic pen and the corresponding carrying items. (To be continued.) )
