Arcane Lord

Soon everyone was seated. On the three main seats were Princess Shia, as well as representatives of Yerlan and Cormanso. On the secondary seats on both sides were seven great Olympians, including Iolum. A magician, a dwarf, and two elves.

As a superior person, there is no need to say much. It is already good to show up. This arcane competition is hosted by a senior arcanist named Elkamon.

After El Carmon, who looked like a kind old man, introduced himself, he officially started the snowmelting competition:

"Mages of Netheril! Dear elves and dwarf friends who have come from afar, in response to the strong request of Cormanthor, this snowmelt competition will increase the number of participants from Cormanthor's side, and the format of the competition will also be adjusted. "

As soon as the words fell, there was silence. It is estimated that except for the only twenty or thirty ordinary people who don't know these situations, the mages basically know what they should know.

However, because there was a great arcanist present, and the person who spoke was also a senior arcanist, no one was making noises. Sha Duo always felt that the atmosphere in the arena was a bit strange.

He hadn't found the reason before, but now, he realized that it was because it was too quiet here.

When Xia Duo was on Earth, he also went to watch games. Whether it was basketball or games, the scene was always very lively. Even at the quietest time, there would be a "buzzing" background sound.

It was the sound of whispers from the audience. Although one person's voice was very small, when there were more people in the entire venue, the sounds added up and became lively.

But here, ordinary people who can sneak in almost dare not come out, and the spell casters are worried about the great arcanist above. Even if they want to speak, they will communicate through spells or cast a one-way soundproof barrier.

This made the venue very quiet, except for the sounds of breathing and the swaying of clothes. Even after Xia Duo's bloodline awakened, his hearing improved a lot and he didn't feel noisy.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is even quieter than writing alone in the study.

Of course, this does not include the voice of the contest host, the Arcanist of El Camon.

"The friendship between the Netherese and the elves has a long history, and the snowmelt competition has been held hundreds of times." Elkamon, standing next to the battle stage, talked eloquently and talked about the history of the Netherese and the elves.

There are many books on the history of Nese, but Shado listened very carefully, not because he wanted to show off in front of the great arcanist, but because Elkamon told many details about the interactions between Nese people and elves.

This is something Sha Duo didn't know before. For example, there were elves who sacrificed to save the villages of the Nese people, there were also Nese mages and elves who fell in love and married, and the Nese people defended Ye'erlan against the invasion of the eastern orcs, etc.

The official statement must have been somewhat processed, but generally speaking, it can be seen that Netheril had a good relationship with Erlan at first.

Yes, the friendship between the Netherese and the elves here refers specifically to the Netherese and the Ellan elves, not Cormanthor. For Cormanthor, the description given by Elkamon is-the friendship of Netheril Partner.

But for Erlan, it was Netheril's enlightenment mentor and blood brother.

As for the dwarves, since there were indeed dwarves present, Elkamon also mentioned them in passing - friendly neighbors whose friendship is as solid as rock.

In the audience, Shado, who had received political education, could probably hear the profound meaning of El Camon's words, but Niya and more human spellcasters were mostly immersed in this beautiful diplomatic relationship.

On the other hand, elves, perhaps because of the depth of thinking brought by language, are better able to understand than humans. Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh. Apart from systematic education, this thing can only be slowly improved over time.

After casting the soundproof barrier, Shado asked Niya, "The elves of Ilfaran were also present, but Elkamon did not mention it. Did you hear anything about Ilfaran in Giles Tower?"

Niya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then finally shook her head, "No, if there was any news, it would have spread long ago."

That's true. There's nothing to keep secret. If there is any news, it should be spread. If not, it should be the problem with Ilfarang.

While the two were talking, El Carmon had already introduced the thirteen superiors sitting in the first and second seats.

At the top of the list, in addition to Princess Shia, the two elves are representatives of Ye Erlan and King Cormanso, both of whom are high mages.

At the second table, the seven Shados from Netheril already knew about it. In addition to the two elven high mages, the remaining three were a dwarf wearing armor and carrying a hammer.

Elkamon introduced him as the Holy Hammer Warrior of Danzo Kingdom.

"Nya, have you ever heard of the Holy Hammer Warriors? Don't dwarves have mages?"

There are very few records about dwarves in the Tower of Time. Maybe Shado didn't find it, but this was indeed the first time he heard about the Holy Hammer Warriors. If there were Holy Hammer Warriors, would there be other Golden Hammer Warriors and Mithril Warriors? Hammer Samurai or something?

"Of course the dwarves have mages. The Holy Hammer Warrior is actually a mage. The Holy Hammer Warrior is a special title used to call the dwarfs who are comparable to the Great Arcanist."

Seemingly feeling that this explanation was inappropriate, Niya continued, "There are also mages who specialize in spells on the dwarf side, but there are very few of them. Most of them also practice martial arts, similar to the sword singers on the elven side."

So that's it. Shado nodded subconsciously. It seems that Netheril is the only one that doesn't have this type of combat profession that uses magic as an auxiliary.

Anyone who has some magic talent becomes a mage. Xia Duo couldn't understand the necessity of this profession for a while, but based on the principle of "if others have it, I must have it too", magic warriors and the like can still be obtained. For a moment.

In fact, Simon and others in Shado's territory have the potential to become magic warriors, but their auxiliary magic is not cast by themselves, but by the magic scrolls provided by Shado.

Xia Duo's original intention is to arm a group of ordinary people with magic to the extent that they can fight against spell casters. The future prospect is probably the spell breaker that was once very popular in a game.

Seriously, shouldn't the so-called magic warriors be supposed to be spell breakers in theory?

All thoughts passed, and the prologue of the snow melting competition was over, and the competition officially began——

The first thing to start is the traditional event [Spell Showdown]. Each of the three parties has 10 players. In the past, when there were only Netheril and Erlan, there were also 10 players, but each player had to fight against everyone on the other side.

After all, the origin of the Snow Melting Competition was Master Yeerlan’s guidance to Master Nese. Of course, there should be as many contests as possible.

But this year, with the addition of Cormanso, the format has changed.

For the Netherese side, first pick an elf mage from the Ellan side to challenge, then Ellan challenges Cormanthor, and finally Cormanthor challenges Netheril, and so on.

Each spellcaster only needs to compete twice, one to challenge and one to accept the challenge.

As for the ranking, it is different from the past. In the past, it was a round-robin competition, and just the wins were compared, and the individual ranking of the spell caster was calculated.

But this year, the individual rankings of spellcasters are no longer compared. Only the rankings between countries are counted. In the [Spell Showdown], only the one who wins two games among the three parties can be considered the winner. The one with the most wins will of course be the first place.

The lowest is also third place.

It seems to be a lot more friendly, but the atmosphere of competition is even stronger.
