A strange world

Chapter 400 Chapter 58. The second scene of flooding

Elu Calder, who used his rapier as a cane, returned to his seat and was greeted by the chattering of his companions.

"Is rapid thrust so powerful?"

"It would have been better if you had raided that person when he only had the earth element."

"You did a good job, even outstanding..."

The instructor's calloused palms patted him happily. He was a little guilty at first, so he thought that Annan had cast the spell twice.

"So I succeeded..." He smiled easily.

But at what cost?

Behind Elu Calder’s smile are the future Cavaliers’ taxes for nearly two years…

"Elu got a good start for us. The next plan remains unchanged. Let him cast spells and delay time. The energy of the spell caster is far less than ours!"

"But he is a summoner..." A student hesitated: "Aside from magic power, all he consumes is saliva."

"You have to make him tired standing!"

…

"Annan, don't underestimate the enemy. The contestants standing at the end are either descendants of legends or heirs of ancient families. Maybe they also have hidden power."

Elu Calder's final outburst frightened Vice Dean Boris, and reminded Annan in a trembling tone.

He wanted to say something else, but several guards came to the player stand, said something and then took Annan away.

In the arena lounge, two etiquette officials sitting behind the table severely criticized: "You have made the tournament full of the rancid smell of money."

It seems that the etiquette department is planning to intervene...

Annan lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, but I really need money..."

The thin-cheeked female official who looked mean-spirited quietly softened her voice a lot: "You also messed up the competition for the bottom nest...but I can't blame you entirely. We didn't make good rules."

Her colleague glanced at it and maintained strictness: "It is forbidden to conduct monetary transactions with opponents in the future. If we find out again, you will be disqualified from the competition."

"All right……"

"You are a spell caster, why do you care so much about money?" the female official continued to ask softly.

"Because I have a territory to support..."

"Territory? Are you still the lord?"

"Ahem..." The male official tapped the table, "And that cloak."

Annan's attitude suddenly became fierce: "They gave me money!"

"How much?"

"300 gold coins."

"300 gold... Our etiquette department will provide this money. You can take off your cloak."

"Every game."

Solz College will compete with other colleges in nine games, and Annan will play nine times, which is 2,700 gold coins.

The male official shut his mouth.

The female official eased the awkward atmosphere: "The cape does not affect the game, you can continue to wear it."

"thank you."

"My name is Janice, you can call me Jenny."

"Okay, Sister Jenny."

"Sister? Oh hehehe..."

The male official looked at Annan talking and laughing with his companions, and the atmosphere was warm, as if he was redundant.

A few minutes later, Janice ended the pleasant conversation and asked the guards to send Annan back.

"Is this magic? There is actually a man who can chat with you." The male official found it surprising.

"There is no magic, it's just the child's natural charm." The female official still had a smile on her face. "I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time. I have to make some suggestions to the minister and bring in a few warlocks..."

Annan returned to the dugout five minutes before the start of the second round.

"What does the official of the etiquette department want from you?" The deputy dean's hesitation disappeared as Annan appeared.

"I was warned."

"Warning you what?"

"Warning me...it's not really a warning. You just asked me why I put on the cloak of Gem Star. It's already fine."

Annan didn't talk about the deal with Elu Calder, and Alice stared at him thoughtfully.

In the second round, there was an additional step of "applying amplification technology to the arena". On the surface, it was for all the spectators to hear the voices of the contestants, but it was actually aimed at Annan.

Annan felt regretful. One college had eight rounds and nine colleges. With a little more diligence, there was a chance to earn more than in the bottom nest competition.

But the Tatooine Empire probably won't be able to accommodate him.

In the next few battles, Annan was merciless after losing the opportunity to make money. The Bear Gordon Knight Academy lost a crushing defeat, which gave Elu Calder an extra layer of aura, which was worth every penny.

At the end of the seventh round, the dejected loser returned to the gloomy box.

Alice sat next to Annan: "We have another game in the afternoon, do you want to take a rest?"

Annan really doesn’t want to drink herbal-flavored magic potion anymore: “But the opponents are all elites, and I’m worried about being swept away.”

"Leave it to me," Alice said.

"good."

The Bell Gordon Knight Academy soon learned the good news: Annan would no longer play, replaced by a mage named Theophilus who was not even an elite.

Bell Gordon's last hope was that Heller was cautious enough to defeat Theophilus without any suspense. Next, he defeated Amy, making Bear Gordon Knight Academy grateful to Solz Magic Academy. But with the subsequent third, fourth, and fifth victories, their ambitions burned by Annan grew again.

In the end, Heller got his seventh victory, leaving only the final battle with Alice. It can be regarded as artificially creating suspense.

Vice Dean Boris was so nervous that he almost melted. Annan was not worried at all. He watched Alice calmly casting spells, using a basic first-level spell to restrain Heller, and finally ended the battle with a passing arcane missile.

The officials of the etiquette department announced the victory of the first game of the Top Ten Tournament amidst cheers and regrets: Solz Academy of Magic.

The second game of the Solz Academy of Magic was in the afternoon, and they made room for the other schools and moved into the auditorium. Annan found the arena too noisy and returned to the embassy to rest.

Several colleges quietly left the arena

They gathered in the dark room with the windows covered, and cheers from the arena floated from afar from time to time.

They gathered for only one reason: how to deal with Annan.

In the dark room where they couldn't see each other clearly, the conversation continued.

"I counted Annan's seven games and cast nine spells in total. As long as he consumes nine spells, the scale of victory will tilt towards us!"

…

In the afternoon, the Ministry of Etiquette announced Solz Academy of Magic vs. Ophelia Academy of Elves.

Solz Magic Academy entered the contestants' stand amid warm cheers and looked at their opponents: a group of human rangers holding elven bows and daggers.

In the first round, Annan quickly released the portal to avoid being eliminated by arrows coming out of the corner.

Annan spared no effort, and his magic power became less and less like the ebbing tide. In some scenes, spells are even cast twice - there are actually hidden spellcasters among these rangers. They always shoot powerful or turning magic arrows after drinking magic potions.

Relying on magic potion to consume Annan, when the seventh player appeared on the stage, the young elite ranger felt that his magic power was close to drying up.

"Annan, we know how to defeat you..."

Although his abdomen was bulging and his stomach would keep shaking after a little running, it was all worth it - until Annan also took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it.

"You're cheating!"
