Chapter 1548 The Pied Piper
Not long after Angel left the nail alchemy house, the nail grandmother also left, her destination was the research and development institute.
She went to the research and development institute this time, naturally for Ivo's matter.
She had even decided to use her authority to force Dean Muse to come out of seclusion. Because Ivo's whereabouts not only concerned her, but also the research and development institute.
At the beginning, Ivo was the most talented alchemist in the research and development institute, and there were even many calls in the alchemy circle for him to take over the position of dean; but in the end he suddenly disappeared, causing the research and development institute to lose a genius who was directly in the mysterious realm out of thin air. How could they not care?
Moreover, the research and development institute has existed for so many years. Although it is called the alchemy holy land of the southern region, there has always been a regret: the lack of a mysterious alchemist to keep the scene.
The goal of the research and development institute cannot be just in the southern region. They hope to be called the alchemy holy land in the four wizard circles and even in the source world.
Only when a mysterious alchemist appears can the R&D Institute truly establish the name of "Alchemy Holy Land", otherwise it is just playing house behind closed doors in the southern wizard world.
It is for this reason that Angel, who has been exposed to the mysterious realm, can be so easily recognized by most members of the R&D Institute.
And it is a foregone conclusion that Ivo has refined the mysterious object. In the eyes of the members of the R&D Institute, Ivo is actually a mysterious alchemist.
Therefore, finding Ivo has been the goal of the R&D Institute for so many years.
Now, Angel has brought news about Ivo. As long as it is confirmed that this is true, the R&D Institute will definitely mobilize all its efforts to find Ivo.
It can be said that as long as the news of Ivo spreads in the R&D Institute, it will definitely set off a series of shocking waves.
And Angel, the source of this hurricane, did not know at this time that there was already a huge uproar brewing in the undercurrent. He is now sitting outside the ring as a special judge, waiting for the game to start.
…
The ring where Angell is now is just an ordinary ring, and it is also the least popular ring among the 18 rings that started at the same time.
The audience seats were even less than one-sixth full.
It is said that it was because there was a match between "Bingfeng vs. Cuici" in the rings that started at the same time.
These two players are both very potential seeds, and most importantly, they are both witches, and their appearances are unique. In the Rising Star Competition, which is mostly male, it is rare to see two beauties duel, and it is a collision of supernovas, which naturally attracted the attention of most of the audience.
Other matches were not watched by many people.
What's more, this match now is not only between two men, but also between two people who are unknown and have never been on the potential list.
The audience who came to this game are basically friendly support, or they can't buy hot tickets, so they can only helplessly choose the person he chose.
However, these audiences did not expect that when they came to the ring, they were surprised to find that Angell, who had a glimpse of him in the preliminary round of the Rising Star Competition, actually appeared in this game?
You know, according to current statistics, Angle has never appeared as a special judge except for the first game.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is his second game in person!
Is there something about this game that Angle values, or will there be a dark horse here?
Thinking of this, the audience who originally had no expectations for this game suddenly became excited. Besides, even if this game really has no highlights, Angle's appearance here is also a gimmick that can be used as a topic of conversation!
As the center of discussion, Angle didn't care about the mood changes of the audience.
He didn't know if there would be any dark horses. The reason why he came to this game was very simple, because the lineup of this game was: "Looking at the Deep Secret vs. the Pied Piper".
"Looking at the Deep Secret" is David's nickname. This is his first game after entering the Rising Stars Game, which is of great significance. Angle naturally wants to come and take a look, and also get a chance to be a special judge.
However, what surprised Angle was that he really "got" through this time.
Because the game started quickly and ended quickly.
When the audience was thinking about "Why did Angel come to this game?" and preparing to look for the answer seriously on the field, the game suddenly stopped.
Even the people in the judges' seats were caught off guard and were discussing in a low voice. They were not discussing the outcome of this game, because there was no dispute that the winner was the spotted piper.
They mainly discussed how to evaluate and rank these two players in the "Rising Star Player Ranking".
Finally, they came to ask Angel's opinion.
Angel thought for a while and replied: "This game is very accidental. The piper completely restrained the Overlook Deep Secret. It is difficult to judge the strength from this game alone. Because Overlook Deep Secret did not show its strength at all, it is difficult to define its specific performance, but this piper..."
"The strength is quite good." Angel gave a high degree of affirmation.
At least from Angel's point of view, this spotted piper is enough to be called a dark horse.
Angel recalled the game. As soon as David came on the court, he aroused curses and contempt from the audience, because this guy was fully armed, from hair to toenails, all covered in alchemical equipment. Even though these alchemical equipment were of different colors and David deliberately kept it very low-key, in the eyes of the audience, it was simply shining with gold.
Such fully armed alchemy equipment, and all of them are entry-level, is extremely rare in the Rising Stars competition. Many people will automatically bring David into the character of a money-spending competition. The mentality of hating the rich is still very common among this group of audiences, which naturally caused a lot of contempt.
Fortunately, the host's introduction saved David.
The host introduced David as an alchemist, which calmed the audience's mentality, because alchemists are generally at the bottom of the same level in terms of combat power. They use their own refined equipment to participate in the competition, and the audience recognizes it, after all, it is also part of their own strength.
The other contestant is much shabby compared to David.
"The Pied Piper" Hamelin. He wore a set of old clothes and a cloak with a lot of patches, like a lot of spots, and even the flute in his hand had cracks.
In contrast, the audience already thought that David would definitely win.
But when the battle really started, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. David started the match by bringing out an improved cannon similar to a revolver and blasting at the flute player, causing a lot of dust and smoke to appear on the stage.
Facing such an attack, the flute player dodged gracefully and even drifted in the air. Not only was he not injured, but his clothes were also intact.
While the flute player was dodging, he was not idle either, playing a pleasant and melodious tune with a bone flute.
There was nothing wrong with the tune, because it did not stir up any energy waves, just like an ordinary tune.
However, as the tune sounded, a bunch of black dots suddenly emerged from the flute player's wide robe. Looking closely, these dots were all mice with scarlet eyes!
The mice were huge, and no one knew where they were hiding. His robe fluttered, and a large number of mice emerged from his sleeves, under his cloak, and in his trouser legs.
There were at least a thousand of them. Looking down from a high place, the arena seemed to be covered by dense black worms, and they all rushed towards David.
These rats were not ordinary rats, they were extremely fierce. Their sharp claws could scratch white marks on David's armor, and when their tails swung vigorously, David was almost thrown out by the huge force, and this was just the power of a rat. Looking around, there were so many rats on the arena, the horror was doubled!
Whenever the flute player's music rose or fell, the rats would make corresponding attacks. Everyone now understood that although the music had no energy properties, he could control these rats with the music.
David also wanted to attack the flute player at first to stop him from playing the flute. But later he found that even if the flute player didn't play the flute, he could actually control the rats with sound and gestures, so David temporarily put the flute player aside and prepared to deal with the rats first.
David came prepared for the Rising Stars Competition. Not only did he have alchemical equipment, he also had methods to deal with summoning, such as a potion that could produce plague.
However, when David was focusing on dealing with the rats, he did not notice that the music of the flute player had changed.
The tone, style, and rhythm did not change, but there was a subtle energy fluctuation.
Even the audience and most of the resident judges did not notice it, but Angel was sensitive enough to capture it. This energy fluctuation was not the energy of magic, but mental power!
The mental power drifted towards David slowly and secretly with the melodious music.
When David was unprepared, the mental power drilled into his helmet, and then David was like drunk, and his body movements were out of his control.
Under the control of the flute player, David took off his alchemical equipment in a daze, and then swayed and danced in the pile of rats.
The rats did not attack David at this time, and they also happily made various joyful movements in the music of the flute player.
Moreover, the mice would move, interweaving and moving with the music, forming various patterns.
It was like an absurd but hilarious musical.
Finally, when David woke up, he was already dancing and fell under the ring.
The game was over.
The game ended very quickly. Although there was a cheerful dance, most of the audience was confused. For example, the judges could not even tell the strength of the flute player. What level did he reach?
However, in Angel's opinion, even if the flute player did not perform a big climax, he won only because he secretly sneaked in energy to attack when David was not paying attention.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the flute player only used mental power to control David, which is too scary.
You know, although mental power is a sign of wizards' extraordinaryness, it is not so easy for most apprentices to use mental power to lift a piece of white paper.
It is difficult for the flute player to use mental power as a means of attack to deal with someone of the same level as him.
It is estimated that the Piper's mental power has reached a peak.
At least Angell believes that most of the apprentices he has seen so far have lower mental power than him. Even Isli, who had a mental power of 23 points on the Bauhinia, is probably much worse than the Piper.
And there are too few apprentices who have defense against mental power.
Based on this point, Angell believes that the Piper is worthy of being called a dark horse.
