Chapter 1374
The interview on the first day of the game was very cruel and unique, an interview with a loser!
This behavior is almost equivalent to stabbing the loser in the heart. I don’t know who set it up first, but it continues to this day.
But after the first day of competition, it was a normal interview with the winner.
Players can take the time to adjust their decks while waiting for the game.
Before the first game starts, there is fifteen minutes of preparation time.
"In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, both contestants will be given fifteen minutes to prepare before the first game. Now the team from the performance department will come on stage and play a passionate "Duel March" for us. !”
After Senior Judy made the announcement, she led the contestants away from the hosting stage and handed over the next stage to the elite of the performance department.
Sixteen players returned to the behind-the-scenes venue again.
The staff prepared sofa snacks and tea in this behind-the-scenes venue. Players can choose to stay in this behind-the-scenes venue to watch the game, or return to the player lounge, or even temporarily leave the duel hall.
Putting aside the two players who appeared in the first game, six of the eight players who appeared in the last four nights chose to leave the behind-the-scenes venue directly.
Only the group of Pandora and Eluri did not leave.
Shortly afterwards, Luke Bage and Matthew Beerbom, who were in the fourth game, also left.
There were only eight players left in the behind-the-scenes venue.
The eight players sat spread out, and the four players who appeared in the first and second games each summoned a small barrier to wrap themselves in it so that no one could see the deck building scene.
Elsewhere, Silas Andy, who appeared in Game 3, sat alone.
But Pandora and Eluli moved the single sofa to Dark's side, one on the left and the other on the right.
Then Pandora reached out and summoned a barrier to separate Silas Andy's sight.
The three of them started talking loudly in this barrier.
"Beauty is a curse!" Eluri Clarissa stared at Dark without showing any timidity.
Dak looked pure and innocent: "Beauty is a bad word to describe women, don't use it indiscriminately."
Eluri raised her hand and poked Dark's forehead with her index finger.
Then without exception, Pandora clamped it between two fingers.
In martial arts novels, this is a classic scene of fighting with bare hands.
Eluli gritted her teeth and retracted her fingers.
Pandora smiled and said: "What, you want to duel now?"
Eluli held it in for a long time before spitting out a sentence: "Narrow-minded!"
Pandora said nonchalantly: "A person's heart is big enough as long as it can accommodate one person."
Eluli turned back and muttered: "You can be happy now. Let's see if you can still be happy when you lose to me tonight!"
Pandora glanced at her and said leisurely: "If you only have attribute restraint, think in advance about how to answer Judy's question when you fail and leave."
Eluli snorted coldly and started fighting with the cups on the round table.
Dak sat between the two people, feeling as if the eyes on both sides were piercing him like knives.
But the relationship between him and Senior Eluli was clearly innocent.
Eluri Clarissa isn't even his fish... bah bah bah! Duck Dimon doesn't know how to raise fish!
In short, how innocent, how innocent!
"We have to find a topic to break the atmosphere."
Duck turned his eyes and saw Silas Andy who was alone without opening the barrier through the one-way visible barrier.
He couldn't help but said: "Senior sister, how much do you know about Silas Andy?"
"Not at all!" replied Alluri Clarissa.
Pandora almost laughed angrily, but after a while she calmly said: "Silas Andy is a fifth-year student of the Magic Academy. His performance ranking in our Magic Academy is roughly between three and five."
"Only three to five?" Dak was a little surprised. "Looking at his appearance, I thought he was at least one of the top two."
Pandora shook her head and said: "The Magic Academy is seriously involved, not to mention the results are only on paper. Silas Andy's occasional ranking in the top three is already the result of considerable hard work."
Dak nodded and said: "So, his duel strength should be at this level?"
But Pandora shook her head again and said: "In comparison, he is better at taking exams on paper."
Dak had some realization: "So that's it. It seems I still have a chance to win."
Pandora reminded: "Don't underestimate him because of this. His overall strength may have some flaws, but the deck construction is weird and changeable, and the tactical systems emerge in endlessly. It is a very difficult type to deal with. Moreover, I heard that he also masters A very special summoning technique."
Another special summoning spell?
After hearing this, Dak couldn't help but ask: "What summoning technique?"
Pandora solemnly said: "Countercurrent Summoning Technique."
…
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Intelligence collection has always been a major factor in determining the outcome of a duel.
But Dak has never done well at this point.
Just like now, he can only squeeze as much information about Silas Andy from Pandora's mouth as possible.
But Pandora's understanding of Silas Andy is actually not exhaustive and can only provide some coping ideas.
Among the information she revealed, the most useful one should be the [Countercurrent Summoning Technique]!
[Countercurrent Summoning], although also a special summoning technique, is not like [Star Summoning], which has created a new system of summoning techniques.
It is an advanced summoning technique and belongs to the same level as [Sacrificial Summoning], but because it is extremely difficult to master and has strict requirements on the summoning environment, it is rarely seen used.
When a magician casts [Countercurrent Summoning], he can reversely deconstruct the summoned magic elves, return them to nothingness, and turn them into a torrent of magic power, so that the elemental species of the corresponding attributes can be specially summoned.
Among them, the star level requirements of the magic elves required for countercurrent summoning are exactly the same as those for sacrificial summoning.
Unless the elemental species to be specially summoned has [Eye of Elements] or [Heart of Elements], it can be summoned at a lower cost.
Therefore, compared with [Sacrificial Summoning], [Countercurrent Summoning] has almost no advantage. It is a special summoning technique that can only be used under specific circumstances.
It is usually used to forcibly insert elemental magic elf cards into non-elemental series decks.
In addition, some ritual summoning requirements can also be achieved by using [Countercurrent Summoning] as a combination.
At this time, with [Ritual Summoning], you can even ignore the hand cards and directly summon the magic elf card that meets the ritual conditions from the deck.
And what Silas Andy is studying is to use [Countercurrent Summoning] with [Ocean Field] to create a special method that can ritually summon a certain deep-sea magic elf.
Among them, Silas Andy's [Ocean Field] series of field cards are also very tricky.
He can use this to turn the entire field into an underwater world with seawater backflowing. Even if the magic elf will not die of suffocation, it will be severely restricted in action.
Especially the magic elf with fire attributes will be greatly suppressed in the water field.
Considering all these situations, Dak needs to make a large adjustment to his deck.
Fortunately, his match is the third game, and there is still a long time to think about it.
…
While the players are trying their best to adjust their decks, the audience is also discussing it fiercely.
Just like Evan Pearson, he was asking Edwin about Silas Andy.
Of course, he didn't want to know Silas Andy, but just wanted to use this to speculate Dak's chances of winning.
In order to express his "position", Edwin Clarissa revealed some secret information that ordinary people didn't know.
That was naturally not just the information about [Countercurrent Summoning].
After hearing this, Evan Pearson couldn't help but shrink his pupils and quickly communicated with Tommie Smith.
Silas Andy's reputation is not loud, at least compared with [Silver Dragon Girl] and [Night Baron], it can be said to be "unknown".
But the information revealed by Edwin Clarissa made Evan Pearson overturn his inherent cognition of such a player, and deeply realized that it is not easy to win from Silas Andy.
His mind even settled down because of this.
...
Fifteen minutes of preparation time is not long, nor short.
The audience who were discussing fiercely had not yet reached a conclusion, and the audience who were immersed in the wonderful music were still not satisfied.
But the first game of the opening day of the Gold Cup was finally about to begin!
The host Judy returned to the hosting platform.
The referee and the commentator were both in place.
The two players in the first duel also walked out from the backstage venue one after another and walked to the two sides of the central venue.
Fifth-year Nobles' House, [Thunder Blade] Torrey Wadsworth!
vs
Fifth-year Fools' House, [Sky Claw] Elijah Sheridan!
…
Elijah Sheridan, who has the title of [Sky Claw], is naturally best at the flying system that soars in the sky.
However, his opponent is [Thunder Blade], who is the king of the electric system!
In order to avoid attribute restraint, Elijah Sheridan changed to a deck based on the ground system after careful consideration.
This unexpected choice did cause some trouble for Torrey Wadsworth at the beginning of this duel.
The ultimate move of the electric magic elves is almost ineffective against the ground magic elves.
However, Torrey Wadsworth immediately changed his strategy after that, and finally destroyed Elijah Sheridan's confidence with a physical attack with electric amplification!
The difference in strength between the two players was fully demonstrated at that moment.
[Sky Claw] Elijah Sheridan became the first person to leave the Golden Cup.
And under Judy's interview, he made a statement of retirement...
The cruelty of the first day of the elimination match was fully demonstrated.
…
Immediately after half an hour, the second duel also started smoothly.
Fifth-year Fools' College, [Vegetarianism] Regina Milton!
vs
Fourth-year Knights' College, [Fighting Spirit] Mars Carey!
…
Mars Carey, wins!

Chapter 874 I want to see a river of blood 6k
Mars Carey's victory set off a huge wave in the Duel Hall.
Originally, it was already very remarkable for a fourth-year student to beat a fifth-year student.
What's more, the person Mars Carey defeated was Regina Milton, who ranked second in the [Golden Cup] points competition!
Even in the history of the [Golden Cup], it is rare to see a last-place player defeat the second-place player and win the game.
When Mars Carey won, his presence officially entered everyone's vision.
The audience and players who originally didn't care about him had to pay attention to him.
Mars Carey advanced to the quarterfinals of the [Golden Cup] as an absolute dark horse!
