The large protective shield magic circle on the square martial arts training ground in the courtyard of the martial arts hall has been opened, and there are four magic rune obelisks distributed in the four corners of the martial arts training field, and the magic runes on the obelisks light up one by one, and the surrounding obelisks are filled with the power of magic elements, and those thick magic powers slowly volatilize in the air, constantly spreading, and with the center of the obelisk, a wave of magic halo is sent out.This is a small obelisk specially designed for the enchantment magic array, only more than two meters high, and four pillars of magic light converge from the top of the obelisk along a forty-five degree angle in the center of the martial arts training ground at a height of 100 meters, forming a triangular pyramid-shaped magic defense enchantment.Activating such four obelisks requires a certain amount of magic crystals, but because the Royal Academy of Magic encourages this kind of formal duel, the Royal Academy of Magic is willing to bear half of this cost, of course, there are some conventional sayings that the cost of the other half of the magic crystals is paid by the losing side of the duel.Of course, this is also to make the academy clear to the students of magic that any form of duel is a rather expensive thing.Any private duel is forbidden and not allowed by the Academy, because those casualties are the most uncontrollable, and every elite magician who can enter the Royal Academy of Magic to study is the most valuable treasure of the Green Empire, so under the protection of the magic mask, there is a magic teacher of the academy to supervise and judge, so there are generally no serious injuries or deaths.Before I went on the field, Noah took out a magic sealing box from his magic waist bag, then took out three magic shield scrolls from it and handed them to me, and put his arm around my shoulders and whispered to me: "You can open the magic shield directly as soon as you play, you should use it, don't save me for it." ”Diego took a wooden dagger on the weapon rack on the side of the field with a gloomy face, and walked onto the martial arts training ground, the magic pattern structure light armor made of ice-attribute snake lizard skin slowly shone under the magic light cover, and the rich magic power in the air made the magic pattern on the structure engraved with magic patterns on his body from time to time, and the wheat skin of Diego senior was reflected as if there was a layer of oil, short silver-white hair, slender cheeks, and slender eyes that narrowed into a narrow slit released a cold green glow, looking at me coldly.There were onlookers standing around the martial arts training ground, Lorenzo and his friends in his circle stood behind Diego, cheering hard for Diego's seniors, Alessio and Andrea were holding their shoulders, leaning on the stone pillar under the eaves of the martial arts hall, the two of them were talking in a low voice, but their voices were muffled by the surrounding noise, they spoke so fast and soft, I couldn't guess.Andre and Alessio were just entrusted by others to recommend me and Noah to the Sword and Rose Society, but they did not have the responsibility and obligation to protect me or stand up for me, not to mention that I was the one who opened my mouth to propose a duel, so at this time they seemed very relaxed, at least there were academy teachers on the side to supervise, and both sides probably would not be killed, and the protective enchantment of the martial arts training ground would also reduce the magic damage of the skills in the magic circle, maybe in their opinion, I have a small background, and I am not too peaceful from the north, I should endure some hardships and gain some small lessons in order to smooth out the edges and corners of my body.Diego is in the Sword and Rose Club, and he is a flag-bearer among the second-year members, and his reputation is outstanding, and there are naturally many people who know him, most of whom know that this is a ruthless character, but when my face is still a little immature, I really want to prepare to play, and those discussions are already like flies buzzing in the toilet in the summer.And my identity, like ink smeared in the pen basin, spreads rapidly.A well-wisher in the crowd asked his companions around him, "Who is he, who dares to argue with Diego?"
What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant!
”Someone on the side raised the bar, and he smiled before saying: "How can you conclude that people will definitely lose, maybe it is a dark horse?"
This one is from the north, and I heard that there are wars every winter, how do you know that people are not fighting mages who have stood out after being baptized by the fire of war?
”At this time, an insider provided some information: "Oh, you have some truth, as far as I know, Diego will stand up for his friend because his friend Ivan planted it in his hands." ”"Those people from the Imperial Capital Gang?
Hehe!
”Of course, there are also some people who are not too interested in the Imperial Capital Gang in the Royal Academy of Magic, so they sneered and said.Ignoring the spectators outside the arena, I saw that the magic teacher standing in the middle of the arena was already waiting for the winner, I took a deep breath and walked to the weapon rack on the edge of the training ground, in front of everyone, I still chose to pick up a wooden short axe, holding the heavy axe handle, and a familiar feeling lingered in my heart, and my mind recalled the scene of the first bloody battle with Kuz at the end of the road to death with those gray dwarf bandits.The crowd around me looked at me with a strange gaze, and the noise of the noisy discussion gradually became quieter."
Look, he chose an axe that only barbarians can use, on our imperial capital, even berserkers don't like to use axes, and the people of the north of Sloit Province are really different from us!"
Someone on the side was sighing, the reason why he was so unscrupulous was that he didn't take me seriously at all, but I didn't bother to look at him at all, but under the gaze of these onlookers, he walked into the field with a calm expression.Compared to Diego, although the equipment on my body is not shabby, a temporary Misoli magic robe is also a very good magic robe among the freshmen of the academy, but in the face of the gorgeous ice snake lizard skin demon pattern leather armor on Diego's senior, it seems a little inadequate.The long dagger was as flexible as his sixth finger in Diego's hand, flying up and down with the rhythm of his fingers, making people dazzled, and a trace of white cyclone surrounded his body, but he didn't expect that he majored in wind magic, although he stood quietly in place, but it gave people the illusion that he could disappear at any time.The last time I had this feeling was last winter, when I met the barbarian with a bundle of spears on his shoulders in the snowy mountains, and now this intuition appeared in Diego's body, and I could only tell myself repeatedly that he was very dangerous, be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful."
Before my duel begins," Diego said to me with a dark face, then paused, a wicked smile appeared on his face, he grinned, and then continued: "I want to tell you, I don't really care about fame at all, as long as I can make people feel intimidated, that's enough, so don't think I'll let you go easily!"
”The gaze in his eyes was like that of a cold viper, but the sinister smile that succeeded in his tricks was a little creepy to me.As the grooves inlaid with magic crystals on the magic pattern structure on his body lit up slightly, the magic patterns on the light leather armor were filled with the power of magic elements.I stood opposite Diego, staring at him cautiously, the four-colored stone drum totem slowly floated around my body, I have been in the imperial capital for so long, no one can recognize what this colorful stone ball around my body looks like, some people even take them for granted as a certain magic prop on my body, in the imperial capital, all kinds of magic aids emerge in an endless stream, so everyone has long been accustomed to it, and it is not strange.But when the four stone drum totems floated around my body, and I held up three ice shields to rotate around my body, the magic teacher who was standing on the sidelines of the field turned his head to look at me in surprise, and an old face full of wrinkles was revealed in the magic hood, and his eyelids, which had always been lowered, opened slightly, carefully identifying the stone drum totems floating around me.As he saw it more and more clearly, the look of surprise in his eyes became heavier, and he even walked directly to the middle of the arena despite the fact that our duel was about to begin, his eyes firmly fixed on the four stone drum totems, and slowly walked towards me."
These are the stone drums of the orc tribe?"
He asked me as he walked, and he spoke very quickly, and he spoke in orc language.I know that once these stone drum totems appear in front of some old magicians with rich life experience, then this secret about the stone drum totem of the orc tribe will be difficult to hide, so I never deliberately hide this, and now that someone finally asked about it, I replied directly in orc language: "Yes, this is the four series of stone drum totems of feng shui, earth and fire in the orc tribe." ”The seniors around me seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, and they all watched dumbfounded as the old magician and I were communicating in orc language."
As far as I know, those shaman witch doctors could only control a certain series of elemental power in the early stage, so as to control a single attribute of the stone drum totem, but now if I am not mistaken, you actually have four series of stone drum totems, right?"
The old magic teacher looked obsessively at the stone drum totem that rotated freely around my body, and reached out to touch it, but the four fluttering stone drums were like spiritual elemental creatures, and every time his old fingers were about to touch the stone drum, the stone drum would instantly drift away from its original trajectory, avoiding the magic teacher's fingers."
You're right!"
Everywhere my gaze stomped, the four series of stone drum totems swayed back and forth around my body like a string of ornate beads."
Hehe, this doesn't seem to be a good place to talk, if you want, you can come to me on the second floor of the library in your free time, we can have a good chat about the orc tribe, that is where I lived when I was younger, and I'm sure you probably have the same experience as me.Normally, I'll stay there sorting out magic books and see, I almost forgot the purpose of coming here today, wait, I should give you the right to come to the second floor of the library, hehe, you can't tell other students about this, after all, it doesn't conform to the rules of the academy, and it's a back door I opened for you!
”The old magician laughed, his wrinkled face bright, and he spoke in the authentic Orc language of Grudin."
May I go to the second floor of the library to find you?"
I asked, somewhat surprised."
Of course, maybe I can also give you a lot of convenience, such as how to quickly accumulate those damn points, at least in the academy's library, those points are equivalent to good things that magic crystals can't buy, you probably also saw that those magic books in the library on the first floor are like a sea of books, those books, each of them needs points, although it is only a little, but if you want to read them all in this limited four years, you need a lot of points."
The old magician lifted his eyelids, his smile was a little mysterious, at least he had succeeded in throwing me a large cake at the moment, the bread I had been waiting for for a long time.Then he went on to say to me, "Well, if that's all there is, it's not something that would make you desperate, but if you go up to the second floor of the library in the second year, you'll find that each magic book here will cost ten times as many points as the magic books on the first floor, and I can make it easier for you." ”The old magician's cake was a bit big, and it was filled with a lot of seafood, bacon, vegetables, and fragrant beans, and suddenly I thought it was probably not a free cake, and then I became a little hesitant, and I felt that there was something to say at least beforehand, about the secrets of those orc tribes, which were related to the safety of my orc brother Kuz, and there were some things that could not be said even if I died.So I said to the old magician: "I'm sorry, about those orc tribal secrets, this involves some previous oaths, I'm afraid it's difficult" "No, don't be busy refusing, no one will force you to say something you don't want to say, when you become a magic apprentice, you have a new identity, you have become a nobleman of the Grimm Empire, then you have the right to speak freely, I think you will be willing to talk to me about the savannah, the herd of one-horned bison, the runaway demon antelope on the prairie."
He paused for a moment, and then continued to invite me warmly: "Why can't we sit in the reading room and drink a cup of milk tea in the reading room one afternoon, and talk about the places where we once lived?"
”He looked optimistic and spoke very funny, and finally took off the academy badge on my chest, and unlocked a ban with a magic spell on the back of the badge, and then pinned the magic badge to my chest with trembling hands, the envious eyes of the students around me seemed to be about to devour me alive, staring at the badge on my chest nakedly, although I didn't know this old magician, but at the moment I couldn't guess where he was, his identity must not be too simple.Such a small episode makes the originally tense atmosphere a little absurd, isn't it!
Before the duel began, the magic teacher in charge of the arbitration began to pull one side and whisper in a certain language affectionately, so what should be done with the next ruling, will it be that in the duel, the old magician will be more inclined to one side in the arbitration?
Originally, everyone here had already begun to speculate that Diego would only win when he cast the first few spells on me.Some people thought that Diego would choose to knock me out quickly and with a thunderous force at the start of the fight.There are also people who think that Diego will slowly tear away my dignity little by little, make me feel desperate little by little, and then use the dagger to leave scars on some important parts of my body, so that the magic pattern structure engraved on my body in the future will cause great limitations.And now there is speculation that maybe I will end up losing this duel with dignity because of this magic teacher's relationship.
