473 Seven Successes
Before Davide could finish speaking, the situation in the field changed abruptly.
Landes pondered for a moment, and then his five fingers were clenched, and the smoke churning in mid-air suddenly emitted a cold air, which contracted from the outside to the inside. In each small battlefield that was divided, there were several times the enemy's troops, and at this time, it was rolling down like a snowstorm, and how could Allegri resist.
In an instant, the battle was decided, the fire was extinguished, and the room was blue.
"Your Excellency, as you wish. The ice mage, with a grim face, turned around in a dashing manner, patted the dust off his hands, and nodded to several big nobles. The other party is really vulnerable, easy, and the generous remuneration has already been received. But strangely, he didn't see a satisfied look on the faces of the adults, and the eyes of the guests were still fixed behind him, as if the battle was not over.
Wrong!
Landers turned his head in surprise, and subconsciously urged the magic power in his whole body. The frost air mass that already occupied the entire battlefield was even more powerful, but inside, there were faint fires, one bright and one extinguished, eerily quiet.
What tricks do you want to play? The ice mage raised his eyebrows, and several surging dark energies lurked under the smoke and quietly attacked Allegri. Attacking the opponent's body nakedly is beyond the rules of "smoke play", but the inexplicable sense of crisis continues to intensify, making him no longer merciful.
Bang!
The firepower exploded, and a heat wave swept through the ballroom. At this moment, not only the battlefield between Allegri and Landes, but also under the dome of the entire hall, hundreds of flame seeds collectively exploded, overwhelmingly sweeping away all the remaining frost magic.
Fire trees and silver flowers, the sky that never sleeps, this is a scene, what a brilliant and splendid scene.
The ballroom at Walledon Manor. There are always more than 100 steps in depth, and there are dozens of carved stone pillars used to support the dome alone. But at this moment, above the heads of every guest, there are brilliant fireworks in full bloom, one after another. Lots of light and shadow. And the strange thing is that there is not a single dust falling in the air, and it seems that after they finish the performance, they leave the stage in good spirits, so as not to stain the bright clothes of the ladies and gentlemen.
All the guests looked up and watched the fireworks in amazement. After the Violet War, magicians on the continent were already rare, and there were even fewer who were willing to condescend to perform vaudeville. I didn't expect to be at today's banquet. The already wonderful "smoke play" ended with an even more wonderful scene, and everyone was satisfied and couldn't help but praise each other.
The so-called insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen look at the liveliness, and there are a few people in the hall who can understand the mysteries. Even though Landers has always had the advantage in the process of "smoke play", it is cramped within a radius of a few feet. How can he be as good as Master Allegri, and he casually showed his unique skills. won the applause of the house.
"I've long heard that Count Allegri is the third great magician of the Empire," commented a plump noble lady next to her, "and now it seems that it is not true." It's much more powerful than this Landes. ”
The surrounding guests all nodded in agreement, and they rushed to this visual impact, Master Allegri was definitely the undoubted winner.
"But ......" Landers, who was dumbfounded, was really dumb and ate coptis. There is bitterness that cannot be spoken. He was almost certain that the other party must have played some tricks. What's more, when the flames were extinguished, he had already achieved victory, which was very clearly stipulated in the ancient "smoke play".
But the problem is, even if he says it, who will believe it? If it was during the Magic Empire, the onlookers were all skilled mages, and they didn't need to explain who won and who lost. Now, however, even his employer, the Duke of Tagore, looked at him suspiciously, obviously dissatisfied.
Yes, by the way, in addition to himself, there is also a magician in the field, Landers looked up at the slightly tired Allegri, and just wanted to open his mouth to question, he heard the other party's voice coming from afar,
"Agreed, young man, you are very good, you can force me to use seven successes. ”
To put it mildly, it's a certainty.
Allegri was a victor, enjoying the praise of everyone, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly.
Relying on his familiarity with his teacher, Dalgnan was the first to notice this. He leaned over silently, ostensibly as if in celebration, but without a trace he helped him back into place.
Exchanging a glance with Finney, Allegri relieved himself and pulled himself together to deal with Madame de Vlais, who was talking sideways, and several other nobles. The level of magic power in his body was far inferior to that of the other party, and he had no chance of winning at all, so he had no choice but to secretly Chen Cang, and temporarily survived the crisis in front of him with a disguised victory.
"It's a great magician, it's so exciting. In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, the Marquis of Walledon ordered his subordinates to prepare a feast, and then rushed back, exclaiming.
"Carving insects are small tricks. Allegriyun waved his hand lightly, speaking of which, he still had to thank the Marquis, if it weren't for arranging such a banquet hall full of flame energy, even if he wanted to be clever, he wouldn't have any chance.
"Lord Marquis, when is the banquet?" it was getting late, and night was falling, and a noble prince couldn't wait to ask.
"Right now. When the foreplay was over, and the meal was about to begin, the Marquis of Walledon replied casually, and then hurried away, arranging for everyone to be seated.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you had the chance to win?" Duke Tagor whispered, while the people in the hall were turning their backs.
"He's cheating," Landers defended with an aggrieved expression, "I can feel the lack of magic in his body, and it's not even at the level of a mid-level mage." ”
"Really?" The scene of the fire and rain in the hall just now was too shocking, so Duke Tagor had strong doubts about it.
"Look," everyone was busy at the table, and Allegri, who had been nervous, got a little respite, but Landers, who was secretly paying attention to him, suddenly noticed the strangeness in it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed, "I'm sure that he has definitely paid a terrible price, and there is no strength left, as long as you try." ”
Following his fingers, Duke Tagor happened to find that Allegri, who was trying to get up, actually stumbled a little, but he didn't stand up, and he couldn't help but believe it a little, but after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head and sighed,
"You've failed, so there's no reason to try—"
At this moment, the old duke suddenly froze in his voice, and grabbed Viscount Davide, who walked by with a dull head. (To be continued......)
