"Master Roger, Master Roger, why did you fall asleep! Wake up, it's your turn!"

The maid's call woke Roger up from his trance. He rubbed his face hard, and then gradually regained consciousness. His originally confused thoughts became clear again.

Today is a big day. It is the day when young people from various branches of the Green family compete once every 20 years.

It has been more than 400 years since the great legendary wizard "Green Sea Resident" founded the Green family. Originally alone, his descendants continued to multiply, and there are already six branches and a large family with a total of more than 200 people.

No matter how powerful the legendary wizard is, it is impossible to cultivate so many descendants. Moreover, those with poor qualifications are not worth cultivating. So since two hundred years ago, the master has set a rule that if the descendants of the family want to develop and are not willing to be a rich man in peace, they must participate in the competition with their own abilities. Only by defeating the other heroes in the competition and convincing the clan members can one be cultivated by the master.

Such competitions are held every twenty years. In other words, unless they have achieved something, most members of the Green family will only participate once in their lifetime.

Even if he was only ten years old when he participated in the competition last time, he would be thirty years old by the time of the second competition. How can a thirty-year-old be considered a young man!

Roger is relatively advantageous. He is twenty-seven years old this year, not far from the deadline of thirty years old, and his strength has almost reached the peak of his youth. And his opponents, the oldest one is only twenty-five years old, much younger than him.

Of course, he is very satisfied with this. Perhaps some people will denounce it as luck, but luck is also a part of strength!

His eyes swept across the stadium not far away. At present, there are two young men with the same surname Green competing there. They did not really fight, but discussed the knowledge of spells in a very elegant way-this "literary competition" method is not only safe, but also can fully reflect the most important knowledge reserves of the caster. If a person can gain the upper hand in the discussion, his strength will most likely be better than that of the opponent.

There was still a clear gap between the two young men. Before long, one of them was refuted and speechless, and the winner was decided.

"Next game, Roger from the second team, against Donald from the third team!" The old wizard who presided over the competition issued an order using the loudspeaker, "Both sides leave!"

Roger sorted out his things, adjusted his mood, and walked towards the competition field.

He walked slowly, maintaining a uniform and stable speed so that he could be ready for any emergency at any time.

His opponent, Donald, was not an ordinary person. Although he was only nineteen years old, he was already able to cast the intermediate spell "Anywhere Door". This spell gave him incredible mobility and he could appear at any position on the competition field at any time. In the past practice matches, his opponent could not even see his appearance clearly, and he was eliminated by him behind him.

Roger's talent can only be said to be good. Since he returned to the Green family at the age of twelve and began to contact spells, he has spent fifteen years reading, but he still has not been able to master even one intermediate spell. But he has mastered more than twenty elementary spells, many of which are quite proficient. In the past practice, he also defeated many people with the cooperation of spells.

This is exactly why he has the courage to step into the competition.

As long as he beats Donald, he can win more resources for himself. And after entering the semi-finals, whether he wins or loses, he can get the opportunity to show his talents in front of the great legendary wizard.

For him, this is a good opportunity, and he must seize it!

Thinking of this, Roger walked onto the field and faced Donald, who was also ready.

"I will definitely win!" Donald said firmly, "I'm sorry, but I need this opportunity!"

"Same here." Roger said lightly, and before the other party was ready, he raised his hand and began to chant the spell.

According to the rules of the Green family competition, the two sides cannot attack each other before the host gives the order-however, "chanting spells" and "attacking" are two different things. As long as Roger does not complete the spell, it is not considered an attack.

This is a plan he had thought of long ago, and he wanted to use it in the finals, but now it has been used up.

There was no way. Compared with those true geniuses, he was still a step behind. If he didn't make full use of tactics, he would never have won Donald.

The old wizard pondered for a moment, and did not organize Roger's behavior, but gave the order to start the competition.

At this time, Roger's spells were almost ready.

Donald was of course knowledgeable. He saw at a glance that Roger's spell was the most vicious "Stinky Cloud Spell" and frowned.

The power of the Stinking Cloud Spell was not very strong, but the disgusting smell could make everyone who was hit feel miserable. Some people even developed anorexia and had to go to the temple for special treatment.

Among the spells Roger mastered, this spell had the highest difficulty in immunity. Although it had some map cannons, it could not distinguish between friend and foe. However, Roger had specially practiced his tolerance to stench and was able to cast spells in the Stinking Cloud Spell. In comparison, even if Donald's spellcasting ability was better than his, he would definitely lose if he was dizzy and unable to cast spells in the stench.

However, Donald's choice was far beyond Roger's expectations.

He took out a space bag and took out a crossbow that had been strung and loaded with crossbow bolts.

The arena used for the mage competition was not large, and a Stinky Cloud spell could cover most of it. This also meant that it was impossible for Roger to dodge Donner's shot at such a close range.

What would happen if a weak mage was hit by a crossbow at such a close distance?

Roger was so frightened that he couldn't even cast the almost completed spell. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly thought of something and shouted: "You violated the law!"

He turned his head and complained to the old mage who was presiding over the competition: "Master, Tangner used a crossbow in the mage's competition, which is against the rules!"

However, the master just sighed and shook his head.

Roger was stunned and turned around to look, only to see that the crossbow in Donner's hand suddenly disappeared, and instead, a magical light lit up.

The next moment, several magic missiles flew up from the hand that was supposed to be holding the crossbow. In an instant, they crossed the distance between them and hit him.

A sound like breaking glass sounded on Roger, which meant that he had been seriously injured and could no longer fight.

He was eliminated.

Only then did the old host say: "Of course it's not impossible to play around with the rules. But if you cast the spell in advance, the spell will be slower than others. The difference is too obvious. And you were only focusing on casting the spell yourself and didn't notice it at all. Donner's spell - he cast a 'silent phantom', although the spell level is very low, it can successfully fool you. "

"Not only that, when you were targeted by a crossbow, you didn't quickly think of a way to resist or dodge, but chose to complain to me. This is simply ridiculous - if there was really a foul play, wouldn't I stop it? Is it possible to complain to the referee in a real mage competition?"

"Look at Donner. Faced with your foul behavior, he chose to fight back immediately and take victory firmly into his own hands. This is the quality a spellcaster should have!"

"Roger, you not only lost in terms of spell-casting ability, but also in terms of vision and psychological quality. It's a complete failure!"

Roger stood there blankly, at a loss.

how so? It was just the first competition, why did he lose!

"It shouldn't be!" He yelled, and the scene in front of him suddenly shattered.

Light and shadow flickered, and he returned from the illusion to reality. He sat on the ground dumbfounded, with a giant jellyfish in front of him sneering.

"Without Kahn's help, you still wouldn't be able to succeed." Sui Xiong said coldly, "You can't even win against a young man who was easily defeated by Kahn."

"Nonsense! It's just that my congenital foundation is too poor!" Roger yelled, "I didn't return to the Green family until I was twelve years old, and I wasted too much time. And as an illegitimate child, even if I was recognized, I wouldn't be able to gain much. Resources - If I had the resources and cultivation like Kahn since I was a child, I would definitely win!"

Sui Xiong sneered: "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."

The light of magic flashed, and Roger's vision blurred for a while, and he fell into an illusion again.

This time he completely replaced Kahn and became the legitimate son of the second branch of the Green family. He had been taught by famous teachers since he was a child and received a lot of resources. Under these favorable conditions, he grew up quickly. When he was only twenty years old, he was already a very capable mage and even began to study intermediate spells.

However, there are several outstanding young people like him in the family. The legitimate sons of each branch are almost at this level, and some are even stronger than him.

In order to win the family competition that takes place every twenty years, he recruited some adventurers to explore the ancient forest, looking for a famous ruins, hoping to get some treasures that can enhance himself.

He failed. He had been pampered since he was a child, but he failed to react in time when he faced real danger. Although he narrowly escaped by sacrificing his subordinates, he was seriously injured. Worst of all, his spellcasting ability plummeted due to the trauma.

The family also spent a lot of effort to treat him. However, after determining that his condition was irreversible, they gave up on cultivating him and instead trained a man who was slightly younger than him and no more talented than him, but mentally capable. An illegitimate son whose quality and effort were far above him.

In the end, he could only sit in the audience and watch the bastard boy whom he had never even looked at, go through all the obstacles and win one after another, and finally won the Green family's 20-year competition. .

After that, his life was lackluster. He became more and more depressed and depressed, and soon began to deteriorate. Rely on alcohol, beauty and drugs to numb yourself.

When he was about thirty years old, he finally took psychedelic drugs due to long-term alcoholism and excessive indulgence, and was never able to wake up from the hallucinations.

Light and shadow flickered, and the illusion disappeared, but Roger never opened his eyes again.

He died, died of despair.

Perhaps he had already realized that he was just in an illusion. However, even with the resources and cultivation from his legitimate son, he still failed to succeed. The talent he has always been proud of is actually just an illusion.

He is not good at all!

After realizing this, he couldn't live anymore.
