Chapter 196: Use me in the first battle

After giving the gifts, the celebration has come to an end, and the time is approaching dusk, and Ebbock’s "rejuvenation" consumes the most time.

The final process of the celebration is the arcane competition. Chateau has been preparing for this for more than half a month, and now, it is about to be revealed!

Lord Epps waved the scepter in his hand to brighten the surroundings, and at the same time reshaped the venue, turning the southern half of the central square into an auditorium-like structure.

A row of seats rose under the statue of the Great Arcanist. It was the seats of the few people who had come with the lord before, and to the south was a diamond-shaped platform. It is no more than half a foot tall, and the two sharp corners of the diamond shape each point in the east-west direction and are about ten meters apart.

And to the south of the diamond-shaped platform are the soldiers maintaining order and a large number of people.

As for the people like Xia Duo, they are divided into left and right. Guests are on the east side; the people in the Tower of Time are all on the west side, the official mages have seats, and the apprentices stand like ordinary people. Today's protagonist Abbock presided over the arcane competition. He first introduced several important guests sitting under the statue of the great arcanist, and then began to talk about the process of the arcane competition.

It was at this time that Xia Duo knew that the previous mysterious priest was an arcanist close to the legend, but more importantly, he came from the mystery temple in the realm of Iolum-the goddess of magic in Nether The largest temple.

Generally speaking, people with this status are unlikely to appear in Saville.

In addition to the mysterious priest, there are also Greta, a female archmage, the representative of the princess, and Gavani, a student of the Great Arcanist Brod, who is also an archmage.

There are two others, Ebb only said that they are the archmage, and did not introduce the background, but they can sit in a row with the three in front, their identities must not be simple. At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help but worry about the lord and Niya who were sitting with them. Sitting next to a group of great mages, even if it wasn't like sitting on pins and needles, it would be uncomfortable to think about it!

However, the Savile leader suddenly gathered so many great mages, but Xia Duo was vigilant, what else could the Savile leader attract at the moment, and the big people behind those people?

A large territory to be developed?

It is possible, but not so many people rushed together!

Identity status restricted Xia Duo's access to information. Even if he had a big brain, he could not guess anything out of thin air. However, Xia Duo decided to wait for so many big people to pay attention to it.

Maybe this simplified version of the arcane tournament hides great benefits!

...

On the other hand, Abbock was already introducing the rules, and the formal rules were similar to what Xia Duo had learned from Niya before.

Among them, there are two points that have the greatest impact on Xia Duo-

One is that only when the opponent’s [Magic Missile] exceeds the midpoint can the countermeasure be started, which is equivalent to reducing the countermeasure time and making it more exciting;

The other is that there is a blessing circle on the field. As long as one side does not successfully counter, even if it resists with the [Mage Armor], it will bring the spell combo effect to the opponent, making the opponent's next spell more powerful.

Forcing both sides to counter successfully as much as possible!

This is simply the nemesis of Xia Duo's shrinking tactics. Xia Duo's winning treasure is to cast more spells than others. Even if it fails to counter successfully once, just use [Mage Armor] to resist forcibly.

Until the opponent loses the ability to cast spells, let Xia Duo do it.

But the spell combo just excluded Xia Duo's strongest advantage, I really don't know who came up with it! In this way, you can really only compete for skills!

And the skill, it happens to be the weaker aspect of Xia Duo.

Now, the biggest retreat was gone, and Xia Duo could only do his best. He subconsciously glanced at Niya who was sitting next to the lord. Although he looked nervous, he managed to support it.

Xia Duo refreshed his spirit a little. As for other small changes, such as the magic circle dyeing the original invisible magic missiles of both sides into different colors, suppressing magic items, and providing the last shelter, they were not worth mentioning.

"The Tower of Time, Chateau!"

When Abbock called himself, Xia Duo immediately reacted, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to appear! But he was not in a panic. With such an arrangement, it must be impossible for Abbock to lose as soon as the tower of time came up!

In fact, as he had guessed, his opponent-a child who looked like a minor, walked up from the other side of the diamond-shaped battle platform.

"Pure white tower, Kim."

Hearing that it was a pure white tower, Xia Duo knew that the other party was from the collar of Iolum, as Ebbock said when he introduced the archmages.

The pure white tower was built by Iolum’s student great arcanist Brod, but he was not too worried. The opponent became a mage at such a young age and may be smart enough, but magic has never been only theory, but also practice. .

The practical experience and skills all need time to hone, and Xia Duo thinks this should be stable!

...

On the platform, Xia Duo and Kim were about ten meters apart. After standing still, the two exchanged salutes.

After both of them blessed [Mage Armor], Kim raised his volume a little, and shouted in his childlike voice:

"Chateau, I know this is the first game of the Tower of Time, but I won't let you go!"

Xia Duo couldn't help feeling funny. Although Kim's voice had a childish voice, he tried his best to express the old-fashioned tone, but Xia Duo was sure about what he said. This guy is really young.

Xia Duo did not speak, but responded with a spell. A magic missile that was dyed red by the opposing platform array, followed Xia Duo's guidance, whistling and flew toward Kim.

But less than two meters past the midpoint, it quietly collapsed.

At the same time, Xia Duo also happened to counteract the blue missile sent by the opponent. Just about one meter past the midpoint of the two of them, Xia Duo was slightly better in the first round.

"Don't be proud! Come again!" Kim roared, sending out a blue missile again.

However, in Xia Duo's view, this is the child's teeth and claws, this blue missile slid across the space, and the string of the magic net that echoed it along the way, the changes are exactly the same as before, even without the slightest change.

There is no chance to do this!

Just less than half a meter from the midpoint of the blue missile, Xia Duo dismantled all the strings of the magic net that it triggered, and the blue missile disappeared quietly.

Of course, Xia Duo's ability to do counter magic so lightly and gracefully is also based on his familiarity with the [Magic Missile] spell and his training for a long time.

If the opponent used a strange spell, then he would not be so easy to counteract.

In this round, Xia Duo only countered the opponent's spells, and did not attack, because he still doesn't know how many opponents will be next. If he can save the spells as much as possible, he should save them as much as possible~www.readwn.com~ However, Xia Duo's non-attack angered Kim, and the spell countermeasure just now seemed to be mocking him. Kim was a little unstable and began to become anxious.

I saw something in his mouth, and the next blue missile was launched after a long time, but unfortunately, the spell collapsed before it exceeded the midpoint.

Jin was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually moistened, as if golden peas were about to fall out of the next moment, Xia Duo was also stunned.

It really is a child!

Xia Duo did not taunt, but instead released a red missile, flying away like Kim.

This time the magic missile was slightly adjusted by Xia Duo. Although the macro spell structure has not changed, the specific spell casting elements have changed.

This is that only a mage who has studied the principles of magic can make similar changes, and those who can only follow the script can not do such an operation.

If Kim still follows the previous countermeasures, it is doomed to fail.

...

The sudden appearance of the red missile made Kim cheer up again, and he from the pure white tower obviously cannot be a mere caster.

He successfully countered Chardeau's spell, only to counter successfully until the red missile was close to him, and the wind from the missile blew the fine hair of Kim's forehead.

This chill also made Kim calm down, and did not continue to attack, but signaled to admit defeat. He already realized the gap between himself and Xia Duo.

However, although he gave up, he didn't think he was always inferior to Xia Duo. When he left the opposing platform, Kim did not forget to challenge Xia Duo: "In three years, I will come to the Tower of Time to challenge you!"

Hearing "three years", Xia Duo, who was walking down the opposite platform, suddenly felt a little soft in his legs. How could this line be so familiar!
