Arcane Lord

The third day of May is also the last day of the Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown].

In the early morning, Xia Duo and Niya went out early. On the third day of the snowmelt competition, there were more tourists in Severnton than the previous two days, especially around the arena, which was almost crowded.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get into the teleportation circle, Shado wouldn't be willing to pass by here. However, Niya had the opportunity to ride on the teleportation circle, but she still walked with him.

Fortunately, neither of them are ordinary spell casters. People who can enter Severnton at this time are somewhat discerning. Wherever Xia Duo and Niya go, there will be a blank space, and even the sound is not quiet. few.

Sha Duo had never encountered a situation like Padick's on the street.

However, sometimes he would stop at an adventurer's temporary stall and buy a so-called relic treasure. Today he also bought a "mithril jewelry."

After entering the arena and taking her seat, Niya reminded her in a low voice, "That jewelry is not mithril at all!"

"I know."

"You know? Then why did you-" Niya didn't say the next words, but she was really confused.

Sha Duo smiled, took out the "mithril jewelry" and handed it to Niya, "Look carefully, is this the two-fold superimposed element of the fifth layer of the magic network's string in the mithril component? Equivalent mapping?

"this--"

Niya took the "mithril jewelry" and turned it over and looked at it from multiple angles. Then she suddenly realized, "It's really true!"

However, at the same time, Niya was also surprised by Xia Duo's keen identification. In terms of achieving high-level achievements, she had achieved it much earlier than Xia Duo, but she only discovered it after Xia Duo reminded her.

So, she silently made up her mind to continue making up lessons, and after returning the "mithril jewelry" to Sha Duo, Niya asked: "What are your plans?"

"When the game is over, I will go there again. The adventurer who knows the shape of this "mithril jewelry" must have a reference target. Maybe he really found the remains of an ancient magic weapon in a certain ruins. If it is true, In this case, we will have bridging practice materials.”

"Um."

…

After a small interlude, the game began.

Thanks to the special setting of the half-dimensional battle space, the audience can clearly see all the operations of the Magic Network String by both sides of the battle, even if they are separated by a space.

Of course, the more spell casters are exposed to the magic network, the more complete the battle situation they can see.

Although he only came into contact with the fifth level of the magic network, Sha Duo still greedily observed everything in the half-dimensional battle space. At the same time, during the intervals between games, he would also use the portable space to control the paper and pen inside to record. Next some key operations will be sorted out after going back.

The conditions of today's game were similar to those of the previous two days. Both sides, Yeerlan and Cormanthor, were desperately targeting the Netheril side, and the duel between them was all fake.

There was no real contest.

Moreover, Xia Duo also noticed that on the Elf side, no matter which contestant from one side defeated Nese, the other side would directly let go during the battle, allowing the contestants from one side to easily win a double victory.

Only double wins count.

This operation of the elf is no longer just a match-fixing, it is simply cheating and ridicule.

On the third day, the dwarves also noticed it. Whenever two elf mages were dueling, they stopped saying a word and even stopped drinking.

Obviously, the dwarves were a little dissatisfied with the actions of Erlan and Cormanthor.

As for Ilfarang's observation group, they would taunt the two elf mages when they were pretending to fight. The indignant scene made Shado feel that they were more like Nese people than Nese people.

He estimated that if a group of great arcanists and high mages did not appear again, these golden elves from Irfalan might directly fight with their compatriots who also have golden skin.

It would be interesting if they really fought.

…

As the game came to an end, everyone, including Shado, was silently counting all the previous wins. The situation was very bad. Netheril had only won 8 games.

It seems good, but you have to know that there are 30 games in total, and only double wins count.

After doing the math, Xia Duo discovered that only three arcanists from the Nese side had achieved double victory. In other words, the Nese side had no chance of winning the championship.

Of course, it doesn't mean much to win or not. The key is to look at the scores. Otherwise, just ranking first, second, and third will not show any difference at all. It is a bit too simple.

…

"Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown] Round 28, Selina wins!"

As the results of the third to last game appeared, most of the Nese mages in the arena couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking. In this game, the Nese side challenged the Yeerlan side, and the Nese side lost.

Next, there are two more games, one is a fake fight between the elves, and the other is the Cormanso side challenging the Nese side.

If they can win the last game, the Nese side can achieve 4 double wins. Even if they lose, it is not an ugly loss. Considering the actions of Cormanso and Yerlan, it can actually be considered a win.

As for the last game, so far, only one arcanist from the Nese side has only played once——

Stuart.

In this atmosphere, even Sha Duo couldn't help but cast an expectant look at him. At the same time, he touched Niya's arm and said to himself: "Niya, do you think Stuart can Win?"

Niya didn't answer, but after watching Stuart's performance in the first game, Sha Duo knew that he was in doubt.

Because it is a cycle of challenges starting from the Nese side like "Nese - Erlan - Cormanthor - Nese", and the elves are playing fake games, this means that the Nese arcanists are always revealing their combat power in advance.

Although starting from the second day, each arcanist fought two battles in a row to minimize the time spent being studied by the elves, there were at least three battles separated by a long time.

Especially Stuart, the first and last scenes were almost thoroughly studied by the elves.

Of course, on the other hand, Stuart also has enough time to re-formulate his strategy, but again, judging from his performance in the first game, it has only been two days now, and it is difficult to see any qualitative changes. of.

There are not many people who have this idea of ​​​​Xia Duo. Even Stuart himself is not very confident. Sha Duo can clearly see the nervous look on Stuart's face sitting not far away from him. .

If this is also a strategy, then Xia Duo will really believe his ghost!

…

Soon, the pretentious fight between the two elf mages ended. As expected, the Cormanthor mages won, and the court was booed.

But at this time, it was obvious that the "cultivation" of the Cormanzo Elf was coming. He still maintained his calm and elegant posture, and even occasionally chuckled when talking to his companions, as if the taunts and boos in the field had nothing to do with them.

However, the Yeerlan elves were a little uneasy, especially the moon elves and wood elves, who lowered their heads and seemed to feel a little ashamed.

The host of the Snow Melting Competition, senior arcanist El Camon, did not immediately announce the final showdown, allowing the commotion in the venue to continue for a while.

Until the sound got louder and louder, Princess Shia stopped her and said, "Quiet!"

It seemed to be a large-scale silencing spell, and the place suddenly became quiet.

El Camon announced at the right time: "The thirtieth round of the Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown], both sides are entering!"
