Chapter 12 It’s hard to lose

The magic book that Balsazer gave to Locke is a big book, and the actual knowledge is many times that of the same thickness, as if it can't be translated.

It records a large number of magic principles, learning experiences, and various spells, which can be said to be a summary of Balsazze's lifelong magic knowledge.

It was time for dinner, and Peggy finally woke up. She really forgot what happened in the antique shop.

"You said I fell asleep in the antique shop, and then you took me back?" After dinner, Page found Rock and asked.

The sudden memory gap made her confused because with her IQ, she had the same high-definition visual image memory as little Sheldon, and she would never forget what she had experienced. However, she couldn't remember what happened after entering the antique shop.

"That's right, you suddenly fainted after touching the clay pot, and I was shocked." I could only bring you back.

"That's so strange. Is the story of the clay pot you told true?"

"What story?" Locke pretended to be puzzled: "Do you say that opening the pot will be sealed for ten years? It's just a legend. I saw it in the book before. How could it be true? We must believe in science."

Like Sheldon, Page believes in science and is not interested in mysticism, but the problem with memory really makes her think about it for a long time but can't figure it out.

Seeing this, Locke began to divert her attention: "It's a pity to say that. I originally thought about bringing some gifts back."

Finally, it diverted Page's attention. Locke breathed a sigh of relief and talked to Page about what gift to choose before returning to his room to rest.

In the previous qualifiers, most players had to use paper and pen to calculate it simply and quickly, but when they arrived in the finals, everyone made mental calculations directly.

"I am the manager I know in the orphanage," said Locke. "They are all taking good care of me, otherwise I wouldn't have grown up smoothly. I'm also going to buy some candy and small toys for the children in the orphanage to go back."

In the previous semi-finals, they had few opportunities to play. If nothing unexpected happens, the most important thing is to see their performance.

The name of Trinity is quite reputable. It is one of the best private universities in New York and the champion of the previous Olympiad. In the competition last year, Locke lost to the other party by one question.

"Since that's the case, let's go together tomorrow afternoon." Page said.

Even calculators and other things are meaningless. Those extremely complex operations and have the ability to input them on the calculator, the master's mental calculation has already calculated the answer.

"Who are you going to buy a gift?" Peggy said: "I remember you were an orphan and didn't have a girlfriend."

Dave can't even speak now, and Barsazer can't go up and say he wants to teach others magic. He can only pay attention silently and wait for Dave to grow up slowly.

The information found was really unresolved by him. How could Locke, a guy who knew nothing before, knows the true identity of the successor of Merlin?

However, except for the most basic magic, most of the magic records in the book, cannot be skilled. According to the system's prompts, his meditation level is too low and his magic power is insufficient to meet the conditions for learning those skills.

After encouraging the team members, Locke led the team to the auditorium stage of North Shore High School in turn, sitting in front of the table, with a quizer in front of each person.

In the next few days, whenever I have time, Locke keeps looking through the magic book he just got to see if he can learn the magic.

All questions ended, and the higher scored side won, so the other players looked at Locke and Page.

Through previous contact, Balsazze confirmed that Locke had not learned any magic before meeting him and was an ordinary person. In the end, he could only attribute everything to the revelation of fate.

"champion!"

As the meditation progresses, Locke can feel the pure energy constantly entering his body from the outside world. This feeling is like the most relaxed whole-body massage, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

Everyone followed and shouted out that the players who could participate in the Olympiad competition and reach the finals were all high-IQ talents.

The rules for the start of the final eight matches are also different from the previous qualifiers. The direct question-and-answer mode is adopted.

The organizer randomly selected a total of 100 questions from the question bank. The questions were displayed on the projection screen. After the contestants solved the answer below, they pressed the quizer as fast as possible to obtain the answer qualification. One point is added to the correct answer, and two points are deducted to the wrong answer.

As for the successor of Merlin, Dave, Balsazer was also found. Not long after he was born, there is more than one person with the same name and surname in New York, as big as a place in New York.

Locke could only be patient and first improve the level of meditation.

With their hard strength, the five-man team led by Locke easily reached the final. This time their opponent was Trinity High School, a church school.

But there was only one who responded to the dragon ring left by Merlin, which showed that he was indeed the descendant of Merlin.

Unfortunately, the improvement of meditation skills is much slower than Locke imagined. If you want to improve your skills to the intermediate level, it will only take half a day at most. But a few days later, Locke's meditation skills are still primary and his experience progress is very slow.

This time, Locke and the other two were ready to avenge their previous shame.

Those who can participate in the finals are the quarterfinals selected through the preliminary round, and they pass the draw of lottery until the final champion is decided.

Suddenly encountering magic, Locke's enthusiasm for the Olympiad competition was a little weakened.

These days, Balsazze and Locke met again. During this period, he also found out about Locke's identity and everything from birth to the present.

This reason is actually reasonable in Balsazze. This is unscientific, but very magical.

Before the final, Locke clapped his hands to attract everyone's eyes:

"Okay, from the end of last year's competition to now, after a year of preparation, it's up to today. The opponent is the famous Holy Trinity Private High School, and they are also our old opponents. In this battle, we must do our best to win the finals!"

It is not surprising that Barsazze always has some doubts about people who suddenly appear. After more than a thousand years of wandering and searching for a career, Barsazze also has his own connections.

Compared to the five people on Rock, Peggy appeared as a new face, the five people on the other side were all old opponents of last year, and Kent, the leader, looked proud.

The IQs of four people in their team exceeded 160, and Kent even reached 174. In comparison, except for him and Page, the other three people on Rock were a little worse.

To a certain extent, last year, Locke lost to the other party by one question, which was also a reflection of the gap in strength between the two sides. Even in the final, Locke performed completely extraordinaryly.

This time the instructor is full of confidence. Locke's performance is better than last year. Now he has Peggy joining. The advantage lies in me. It's hard to lose in this final.
