Divine Civilization

Chapter 244: The Unexpected Champion

...

The release of the rankings is still going on, and there are many female magicians participating in this Truth Conference, but this is a world that respects power, and the relative status of women is far lower than that on Earth.

Most of the women who can receive high-quality education come from aristocratic or wealthy families. Therefore, only about 20% of the more than 2,000 participants are women. So far, only a dozen female magicians have successfully entered the top 100.

Most of these female magicians have a certain background, and basically do not sign contracts with any forces.

Therefore, the housekeepers and deacons who were eager to find talents basically set their sights on those impoverished male magicians.

As time passed, people in the crowd kept shouting in surprise, and those contestants whose names had not entered the top 100, became more and more anxious and nervous.

In a blink of an eye, the ranking has passed the 30th place, and the remaining places are only 29th place, which means that the chances of those contestants who were not shortlisted to advance smoothly are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Many contestants who knew they had no chance had already collapsed and shed tears, collapsed on the ground, howling in pain.

Suddenly.

From the corner of Wu Hui's eyes, he noticed that a male magician with shabby clothes, a thin body, and a half-bald head was pulling out a sharp knife from his waist tremblingly. His expression was painful, as if he was extremely sorry for himself. disappointment.

"Hey, brother, is this bad?"

Wu Hui leaned over and advised, "Ranking is precious, and life is more expensive."

"Ranking is precious, life is more expensive? Wow! Great poem! Great poem!" Blake on the side widened his eyes and clapped his hands excitedly, "Brother, you are simply a born poet! Just listen to your words, Can feel the sublimation of the soul."

"You guys."

Liliana rolled her eyes at the two of them angrily, thinking that they are going to commit suicide, it's fine if you don't save them, but they are still discussing poems? Enough is enough!

"Little brother, ignore them."

Liliana frowned, and comforted the half-bald magician, "It's just an exam, even if you don't get in this time, you'll still have a chance next time."

"No, no chance!"

The half-bald magician, with trembling lips, burst into tears as he spoke, "I, Rich Taylor, am 29 years old this year! I have no chance!"

The Truth Conference is held every ten years, and it is a good opportunity for all magicians to become famous. However, according to the regulations, they cannot participate if they are over 30 years old. Obviously, the 29-year-old Rich Taylor has no chance to participate in the next Truth Conference.

"I, I'm sorry for the expectations of the lord, I'm sorry for Wan Lina who works so hard for me every day, I, I'm dead!" The half-bald magician Rich Taylor yelled at the sky, raised the knife and stabbed at himself. Heart pierced.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wu Hui was sweating when he saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and said comfortingly, "Brother Rich, calm down, please calm down first. Look, the list has only reached 30 now. There is a chance, why don't you wait a little longer?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing wait and wait, this Rich Taylor actually cried and laughed maniacally, "Wait? Wait? Hahaha, wait a fart! I'm trash! I'm poor Sour stinking garbage... Me, how could I be in the top 30? I have no chance, I'm going to die!"

After all, he held up the knife again to stab himself.

Wu Hui was dumbfounded, and secretly scolded this guy for being too cruel to him, right? With such a sharp knife, you can stab it as soon as you say it, without blinking your eyelids. Seeing how bitter and bitter he is, how much pressure has accumulated in his mind?

Just at this moment, there was a sound of "poof", and the water curtain flipped, and the name of the 29th person appeared on the water curtain.

"Wait! Really wait!"

Wu Hui glanced at him, and quickly pulled him back again.

"You! Are you annoying? Can't you just let me die?" Rich Taylor looked sad and anxious, with no love in his life.

"Look carefully." Wu Hui pointed to the water curtain leaderboard.

Rich Taylor had no choice but to turn his eyes to look, and suddenly gasped, his whole life froze in place.

No. 29 - Rich Taylor.

It was him, Rich Taylor!

"Puff!"

Rich Taylor was so emotional that he couldn't catch his breath until now, his eyes went black on the spot, and he fell straight on the ground like a stone.

"Mother, don't be too happy with yourself, this guy, come here, come and save someone."

Wu Hui broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that it's really not easy for young people, look at this depressed person with deep obsessions.

After being greeted by Wu Hui, the onlookers immediately came to rescue.

Among the pinching people, Shunqi's Shunqi, and two magicians who can heal, also helped to cast two healing magics.

After a lot of tossing, this Rich Taylor finally woke up faintly.

Just after waking up, he struggled to get up, disregarding the mud all over his body, he was overjoyed on the spot and burst into tears: "It's me! The 29th place is me! Hahaha! I, I succeeded! I'm going to make a fortune! Hahaha……"

Although he was emotional and crazy, everyone present knew very well how noble and outstanding the 29th place who had already surpassed the 30th place was.

If other people who failed the rankings can also be admitted to the 29th place, let alone running wildly, they are willing to run naked.

After Rich Taylor calmed down a bit, many housekeepers and deacons from the Earl, Marquis, and even a big man from the Duke's Mansion immediately came to invite him.

The promises and salaries given by these people were very generous, which attracted the envy of the onlookers present.

Especially the big man from the duke's mansion, who actually promised that the duke would give him the lowest rank of knighthood, making him a nominal nobleman. And she will also let a daughter of a nobleman marry him as his wife. It can be said that he, a magician ranked as high as 29, is very valued.

However, Rich Taylor waved his hand firmly to the crowd and refused: "No, I won't sign a contract with anyone. I want to return to Chunsun Town to repay my Lord Baron!"

"Huh? Chunsun Town?"

"What kind of town is there? It's clearly a poor market town deep in the mountains."

"There is also the Baron of Chunsun Town, he was born by a young mother, and his wealth is not even comparable to that of the big landowner in our town, Warren."

The crowd was dumbfounded and chattered.

They never imagined that this impoverished magician who was born in poverty would reject the high salary offer from the earl, marquis, and even the duke, and wanted to return to the backcountry to repay the baron and his hometown?

What, what are you kidding? Is he crazy?

Seeing the disapproving expressions of the crowd around him, Rich Taylor explained blissfully: "You don't know, our Lord Baron, in order to support me, the only magician in the whole town, he has personally farmed. And my Wan Lina, in order to supplement my nutrition, milks the cows for me every day, and in winter, her hands..."

As he spoke, his tears were about to come out again.

This, is this a counterattack from a poor family? Wu Hui was stunned and wiped off his cold sweat, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "People in the world are always suffering, that's why they need a god. Little brother, I think your character is simple, your bones are clear, Do you want to believe in a god with me?"

"Ah? Believe, believe in God?"

"Yes, it is the God of Light who shines on the world!"

"..." Rich Taylor looked at Wu Hui in a daze, "I, I... want to go back to Chunsun Town."

"This is not a conflict. Belief in the God of Light will only make your heart more pure." In order to win over this strange magician with a firm stand, Wu Hui personally acted as a missionary priest, and introduced him to the Holy See of Light with great interest.

Soon, under the influence of Wu Hui, Rich Taylor became a firm believer in the light, and piously expressed that he would spread the light belief to Chunsun Town.

However, Rich Taylor is just a small splash.

As the rankings were announced continuously, some people cried bitterly from time to time, and some people roared wildly from time to time.

Seeing all this, Wu Hui was a little amazed, even crazier than the college entrance examination he experienced on Earth.

And at the same time.

Time passed bit by bit, and before you knew it, the ranking of the qualifiers had already been displayed from the 100th place to the top ten.

on the rostrum.

Jimmy Gunter boredly flipped through the player information sent by the members of the association. Looking at it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that the School of Magic has been operating really well these years, and most of the promotion list is from the School of Magic. Student. If the instructor knows this, he will feel very relieved."

It was rare for President Wood to hear Jimmy praise him, and he was immediately happy: "I thought it was impossible for me to hear you praise me in my life."

Jimmy rolled his eyes at him: "I'm praising the School of Magic, not you. What are you talking about?"

President Wood took a sip of his coffee, but smiled silently.

"huh~"

Andrew, the royal holy magister who was drinking coffee, picked up the document and glanced at it for a few times, then snorted coldly with disdain, but rarely sneered.

At this time, Iswell, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly put down the staff he was caressing in his palm, and glanced at the big screen: "It's the fifth place."

President Wood and Andrew's heart moved, and they immediately changed their previous casual posture and focused their attention on the big screen.

On the big screen, the name of the fifth place slowly appeared.

"Melia Hurt."

The host Wilder's vigorous voice resounded throughout the venue: "Congratulations to Ms. Melia for winning the fifth place in the preliminaries of this Truth Conference! Let us applaud her!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud applause in the venue.

In the contestant waiting area, a girl with a worried face suddenly jumped up, with an uncontrollable joy on her face.

On the rostrum, Jimmy felt that the name looked familiar, and suddenly remembered: "I remember this person was in the third place just now, right? Although he was pushed down again at the last minute, this strength is very rare."

"That's right. She's also a student of my School of Magic." President Wood nodded with a smile, with a proud expression on his face, "This child's talent in magic is quite good. Although she started late, she is hardworking enough. One of the favorite kids."

The number of female magicians who pursue the truth is small, and there are very few with outstanding qualifications. Melia's ability to break into the top five in the qualifiers where the strong are like a cloud shows how outstanding she is.

Even Wu Hui couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This seemingly unremarkable magical girl has a really limitless future.

Time continued, and the list on the big screen continued to be refreshed, and the word "fourth place" gradually appeared.

"Hey~! It's finally the main event." Jimmy regained his energy.

Now that he has got half of the chips in hand, he has completely lost his psychological burden, and he has no scruples in speaking.

He glanced at the three people beside him, and he laughed out loud, "Tsk tsk~ I don't know who is the fourth place this time. Hey~ this ranking is not very good~"

The three of Wood ignored him.

They had already passed their temper with their disciples just now, and believed that their disciples had the possibility of winning the championship, and they would not be reduced to fourth place no matter what, so they all acted calmly, as if they had full confidence in their disciples.

Seeing that they didn't answer, Jimmy shrugged boredly.

At this time, the name of the fourth place finally appeared on the big screen.

"Charles Springhall."

The host Wilde read the name on the big screen aloud, and the voice was as impassioned as ever: "Congratulations to Mr. Springhall for winning the fourth place in the qualifiers of this Truth Conference. Let us applaud him!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud cheer in the venue.

In the player waiting area, many players also cast envious and admiring glances at Prince Charles. This is the top four, a ranking they dare not even think about.

However, as the person involved, Prince Charles didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. Instead, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

fourth!

He couldn't believe it, he only got fourth place!

There are only four contenders for the championship. He won the fourth place. Doesn't it prove that his strength is the worst among the four?

Prince Charles has always been proud and arrogant, how can he bear this? At this moment, he only felt that his face was hot, and even the eyes of others looking at him seemed to be full of sarcasm, which made him feel ashamed.

On the rostrum, Andrew, the royal holy magister, was stunned in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the fourth place would be his disciple!

"It's impossible! I don't believe it!"

He blushed with anger, and suddenly grabbed President Wood's lapel, and said sharply, "Charles has clearly solved the answer to the last question, and it can't be the fourth one. I want a review! If..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly took a deep breath, and looked at President Wood viciously: "If, let me find out that there are any problems in the result, my Royal Mages will never let it go! Don't even think about doing your Truth Congress again!" down!"

"Andrew, calm down."

President Wood held Andrew's hand. Although he was grabbed by the skirt, his face remained calm. He believed in the magicians of the jury, and also believed that they would not do such a thing of self-destruction of the city wall.

While the two were arguing, the third place's identity was revealed.

"Third place, Ben Stuart! Congratulations..."

The host Wilder's voice was as impassioned as ever, but at this moment, no one on the rostrum noticed what he said.

Andrew and President Wood, who were arguing, were stunned the moment they heard the name, and Ice Calamity Iswell, who was leisurely watching the excitement, was also slightly startled, and then showed uncontrollable joy.

"If the third place is Stuart, the champion is..." Jimmy glanced at Ice Calamity Iswell with some hesitation.

Andrew, who was still yelling at President Wood just now, looked extremely embarrassed.

Since Ben Stuart only took the third place, the suspicion of President Wood operating in the dark has undoubtedly been cleared.

He loosened President Wood's skirt in a desperate manner, and silently tidied up his messed-up skirt for him.

The noble upbringing told her that he should say sorry at this time. However, his usual arrogance and stubbornness of unwillingness to bow his head in front of Wood made his mouth seem to be stuck, and he couldn't speak at all.

He could only forcibly skip this link, turned around and gave Ice Disaster Iswell a sour look: "It seems that the champion this time is none other than your Karen. Congratulations~"

"Haha~ you're welcome, you're welcome~ it's our family Karen who strives for it."

Ice Calamity Iswell tidied up his collar refreshedly, with an uncontrollable complacency on his face, as if to say: Disciple strives for his own strength, what can I do?

The faces of Andrew and President Wood suddenly became extremely ugly.

Just when a few people thought the dust had settled, the identity of the second place was finally revealed.

"Second place, Karen Glacier! Congratulations..." came the voice of the host Wilder.

Ice Calamity Iswell's face changed drastically: "How is it possible?! Clearly...Karen clearly solved the last question..."

Chairman Wood and Andrew didn't expect this result at all, and they were stunned for a while.

"This... how could it be like this?"

The three of them couldn't accept the result for a while, they stood there dumbfounded and looked at each other, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.

However, they were still dumbfounded, but Jimmy Gunter suddenly reacted.

There are a total of four people competing for the championship, and three of them have already been ruled out. So who is the champion? Needless to say?

"Hahaha~ I won! Kill! Hahaha~ I didn't expect it~ I didn't expect it~ Hahahaha~"

He jumped up, laughing wildly with excitement on his hips.

After laughing for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses, rushed to the table and put all the magic stones on the table into his arms, carefully put them away as if they were afraid of being snatched back: "Hahaha~ these are all mine. It's gone."

That stingy look is simply blinding.

After being interrupted by him, the three presidents of Wood also reacted, and their expressions became extremely complicated.

Who would have thought that they fought here and there, but in the end they all took advantage of Jimmy, who was supposed to be an outsider? Who would have thought that Lawrence Campbell, who appeared out of nowhere, could still overwhelm the three of their disciples when they were all sprinting with all their strength?

However, the three of them are all bigwigs in the end. Although the result was completely unexpected, they are not reckless. But the three of them still seemed to have eaten flies, and their expressions were extremely embarrassing.

Lawrence Campbell, this name is deeply engraved in their minds.
