Chapter 341 Competition
Iron-walled Great Wall Fortress, in a cold hall.
In the empty hall, there is a platform in front, and chairs are arranged one after another below. The layout is somewhat similar to the teaching room of a wizard academy.
Coron and Enzo sat quietly in their own seats. Next to them, there was a witch in white robe with the Kendi family's silver lightning logo embroidered on her collar.
"Are you saying that Dean Froslai summoned first-level conqueror wizards from all over the country this time just to hold a competitive match?" Coron frowned and said hesitantly.
"As far as I know, that's it!" Next to her, the white-robed witch Belika shrugged and raised her hand to comb the long hair at her temples.
"This is not logical at all!"
On the other side, Enzo also frowned, shook his head and said, "The academy is currently in the midst of an expedition. We have tried our best to fight against the Children of the Forest. It is simply ridiculous to hold a competitive match now!"
The so-called competitive competition, as the name suggests, is a competition!
According to Bellica's description, Dean Froslai convened the first-level conqueror wizards from all over the country this time to hold a competition between wizards.
"When I first received this information, I felt incredible and even doubted the authenticity of the information."
Bellica sighed and said, "However, this information was given to me by Grandpa Yamos, so it cannot be false!"
"Yamos?" Enzo's eyes flashed.
Amos Kendi, the controller of the Leyton Kingdom, the head of the Kendi family, a second-level wizard like Gustav.
If the news really came from his mouth, then it was extremely true, but Enzo still couldn't understand why the academy suddenly decided to hold a competitive match during the war.
"Wait patiently, the academy will give us an explanation." Corun pondered for a moment and said, "Calculating the time, the first-level conqueror wizards from other areas should be able to arrive at the fortress today and notify us to gather here. He must be planning to issue a formal notice!”
While several people were talking, more wizards entered the hall one after another.
The first-level conqueror wizards from each region have arrived at the fortress one after another within the specified time. It was last night that Enzo and Colon received the notice to gather in the hall, and happened to meet Colon's blood cousin. Bellica.
There are only two conqueror wizards in the Kendi family, Coron and Belika!
As time continued to pass, more and more wizards appeared in the hall, many of whom were familiar faces to Enzo.
Others, however, looked a little unfamiliar.
This time, Dean Froslai summoned the first-level conqueror wizards from all over the country. Not only the members of [Phantoms of Crows], but also the members of [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] came after receiving the order. Arrive at the Iron Wall Great Wall Fortress.
Gradually, the seats in the hall were filled.
Enzo looked around and found that there were less than forty first-level conqueror wizards from all over the world, half of whom were members of [Phantoms of Crows], and the rest were from the other two major organizations.
"Sure enough, conqueror wizards are few in number..."
Enzo murmured to himself that the two different paths represent different rules of wizard civilization. Compared with the guardian wizards, the process of being promoted to wizards by conquerors is more difficult, and the number is naturally rarer.
The total number of first-level wizards in the three major organizations in the Dark Pole is about five hundred. However, most of them are guardian wizards, and less than one-tenth of them are conqueror wizards.
Da da da!
At this time, with the sound of footsteps, the hall fell into silence. In the eyes of all wizards, Wizard Mitchell in white robes slowly walked towards him, and behind him was a fiery red figure.
"Myrcella?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows. He had not seen her for more than ten years. Myrcella still looked like in his memory, wearing a red robe like a flame, with an unruly and cold temperament.
After following Mitchell into the hall, Myrcella randomly found a seat to sit down, while Wizard Mitchell came to the front and walked to the podium.
"Hello, little ones!"
"Now I want to announce some good news. This time I called you to the fortress because the three major organizations jointly discussed and decided to hold a wizard competition that will be participated by all conqueror first-level wizards!"
As soon as Mitchell finished speaking, there was a commotion below.
Almost everyone was whispering to each other and whispering to their companions. Those who knew the information in advance, such as Bellica and Enzo, were able to remain calm, while others were a little emotional.
"Are you kidding me? Wizarding tournament?"
"Is the leader crazy? Now during the expedition, the 32nd Tower where I was stationed was always facing attacks from those alien races, and now you summoned me here just for a competitive match?"
"what happened?"
Mitchell was not surprised when he heard the whispers in the hall. He clapped his hands gently when everyone was talking.
A faint magic spread around, and the hall fell into silence. All wizards stopped talking and looked forward.
"I know everyone is confused about the competition."
Mitchell spoke slowly and said, "However, this matter was decided jointly by several third-level wizards. Please don't question it and try to prepare everything as well as possible."
"This competition will be held in three days, with a total of three rounds of competition. In the end, five winners will be selected from forty first-level conqueror wizards, and each will be rewarded with a magic weapon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a pause in the hall.
"Magic wizard weapon!?" A gleam flashed in Enzo's eyes, and he was surprised. He was confused about the competition, and when he heard that the final reward was five magical wizard weapons, he was even more shocked.
"Why are the three major organizations eager to hold the wizard competition, and even use magical wizard weapons as the final reward?"
Enzo's thoughts changed in his heart. He had a clear understanding of the preciousness of magical wizard weapons. It was difficult for a first-level wizard to own such items even if he spent all his wealth.
Under normal circumstances, only second-level wizards can access magical wizard weapons. Gustav, as a strong second-level wizard, also relied on the magical wizard weapon [Soul Sealing Chain] to trap the giant tree mother body in the Nor area.
According to rumors from the outside world, the Kendi family, which has a second-level wizard and has been passed down for thousands of years, has only three magical wizard weapons in total, and they are the family treasures.
"Lord Mitchell, are you telling the truth?"
At this time, a red-haired wizard from [Fang Blood Shadow] wearing a blood-red wizard robe stood up and asked in a deep voice.
In the hall, other wizards also looked forward, and everyone was waiting for Mitchell's answer. The value of five magic wizards would make even a second-level wizard crazy, so it was no wonder that everyone reacted like this.
"Do you think I need to lie?"
Mitchell chuckled. Among the six third-level wizards in the Dark Extreme Domain, he was famous for his gentle personality, so he didn't care about the offense of the red-haired wizard.
"Sorry, Lord Mitchell, I was too excited!" The red-haired wizard's heart jumped, and he quickly apologized.
Mitchell smiled indifferently and said softly, "Okay, go back and prepare. The competition will be held in the underground arena three days later. If you don't show up at the specified time, it will be regarded as an automatic waiver."
After that, Mitchell turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the podium.
"Five magical instruments are used as rewards for the competition!" As Michel left, everyone in the hall started talking again. Koren looked surprised, but he was a little excited in his heart.
"But... why?"
Enzo hesitated and said, "Now that we are in the expedition period, why did the academy suddenly summon conqueror wizards from all over the country and hold a competition with magical instruments as rewards?"
"I don't care about this!"
Koren's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Anyway, I must get the rewards for the competition. If I can have a magical instrument, I can face the children of the forest independently next time!"
Five magical instruments as rewards completely ignited everyone's ambitions. Wizards who can choose the path of conquerors are a group of proud beings. Almost everyone thinks they are strong enough to become the winner of the competition!
Among the people in the hall, even if Enzo is one of the few who can maintain rationality, he still has a little desire for magical instruments.
After a while, everyone in the hall left one after another.
The competition will be held in three days, and everyone needs to prepare. Coron and Belica also left the hall, and no one knew where they were going.
"Long time no see, Enzo."
There were not many people in the hall. When Enzo was about to leave, a fiery red figure came up to him. It was Misella.
"It's been a long time, Princess Misella!"
Enzo smiled and greeted. The two had not met for more than ten years, but the experience of fighting side by side on the ghost ship still made them have a friendship.
"Come on, go out with me!"
Misella waved her hand, with a hint of unquestionable domineering in her tone, and then turned around and left the hall and walked outside.
Enzo hesitated and followed.
...
On the empty road, there were patches of green lawns on both sides. The air was a little cool, and the sunlight projected from the sky seemed particularly gentle.
"...You mean, Dean Floresley has confirmed the existence of the Aqila Tree and had a brief confrontation with it?"
The two figures walked side by side on the road. Listening to the information revealed by Misela, Enzo's face was solemn.
"Yes, that's right!"
Misela nodded slightly and said in a calm voice: "The significance of the fourth-order life form should be understood by you without me saying more."
"If we don't solve the Aqila Tree, we will never be able to complete the expedition!"
"The academy has a plan?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and his thoughts changed.
"Maybe..."
Misela murmured, then shook her head and said: "As far as I know, Dean Floresley summoned conqueror wizards from all over the country to hold a wizard competition this time, just to select the strong ones among them and form a wizard team!"
Enzo's eyes flashed, but his face was expressionless.
Through a brief exchange with Misera, he had solved a puzzle in his mind, that is, why the academy suddenly held a competition, the reason was to select strong people to form a wizard team.
"Is there a special task that needs to be completed by the top strong people among the first-level wizards?" Enzo thought to himself.
"After the competition, the strongest will form a wizard team." Then, Misera continued, ": There is a secret mission that needs to be carried out by the wizard team!"
"What kind of mission?" Enzo asked with a move in his heart.
"I don't know the specific content of the mission." Misera shook her head and said, ": But it seems to be related to the Tree of Aqila!"
"Is it related to the Tree of Aira?" Enzo was slightly surprised.
Things are indeed not that simple. Dean Froslai summoned Conqueror first-order wizards from all over the country, not only to hold competitions, but also to select strong ones to form a wizard team.
The purpose of forming the wizard team is to complete a secret mission related to the Tree of Elqira!
"What kind of tasks must be completed by selecting first-level wizards?" Enzo was a little confused. If the academy really wanted to complete certain plans, why not just send some second-level wizards, but go through a lot of trouble to select them through competitive matches? member.
"The secret mission seems to require crossing the Iron Wall Fortress and heading to the territory of the Children of the Forest." Myrcella saw Enzo's confusion, so she explained, "If a second-level wizard is sent, it is likely to attract the children of the Forest. Pay attention, so only first-level wizards can form a team."
"So that's it..." Enzo murmured to himself and nodded thoughtfully.
All the doubts seemed to have been answered. Since the special mission required crossing the Iron Wall and going to areas controlled by foreign races, in order not to attract the attention of the Sons of the Forest, only first-level wizards could be sent.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Suddenly, Enzo raised his head and asked. The information Myrcella had was all precious information. If we follow the principle of equal exchange in the wizarding world, Enzo should be rewarded.
"It's nothing, just think of it as returning a favor to you."
Myrcella shook her head and said, "I owed you once when I was on the ghost ship. I always wanted to repay it, but I didn't have the chance. Today's information will be treated as interest."
"I don't remember what happened more than ten years ago. In fact, you don't need to care." Enzo chuckled and touched his nose.
"We, the people of the Red Castle Kingdom, will never owe our friends any favors!" Myrcella said with a serious face, "You should think carefully about the competition. Although the rewards of the magic weapon are very tempting, the special ones after The mission may be dangerous!"
"Thanks, I'll consider it."
Enzo nodded, but he had already made a decision in his heart. Since ancient times, interests have always been accompanied by danger.
Any magic weapon can greatly improve his strength, so even if he may face dangerous special tasks in the future, Enzo still decides to do his best to achieve results in competitive games.
The writing has been getting worse and worse recently. Next, I plan to sort out the plot and try to make the story more exciting.
