Chapter 400 Chapter 58. The second scene of flooding
Elu Calder, who used his rapier as a cane, returned to his seat and was greeted by the chattering of his companions.
“Is Rapid Stab so powerful?”
“It would have been better if you had attacked that person when he only had the earth element.”
“You did a good job. Even outstanding..."
The instructor's calloused palms patted him happily. He was a little guilty at first, so he thought that Annan had cast the spell twice.
"So I succeeded..." He showed a relaxed smile.
But at what cost?
Behind Elu Calder’s smile is the fact that the future knight will receive taxes for nearly two years...
“Elu got a good start for us. The next plan remains unchanged, let him Casting a spell takes time, the caster’s energy is far less than ours!”
"But he is a summoner..." A student hesitated: "In addition to magic power, all he consumes is saliva."
"Standing has to make him tired!"
...
"Annan, don't underestimate the enemy. The contestants standing at the end are either descendants of legends or heirs of ancient families. Maybe they also have hidden power."
The last of Elu Calder The outburst frightened Vice Dean Boris, who reminded Annan in a trembling tone.
He wanted to say something else, but several guards came to the player stand, said something and then took Annan away.
In the Arena Lounge, two etiquette officials sitting behind the table severely criticized: "You have made the tournament full of the rancid smell of money."
It seems that the etiquette department is planning to intervene. Got it...
Annan lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, but I really need money..."
The thin-cheeked female official who looked mean quietly softened a lot: "The fight for the bottom nest" Sai was also messed up by you...but it’s not all your fault, we didn’t make good rules.”
Her colleague glanced at it and maintained strictness: "It is forbidden to conduct monetary transactions with opponents in the future. If we find out again, you will be disqualified from the competition."
"Okay..."
"You are a spell caster, why do you care so much about money?" the female official continued to ask softly.
"Because I have a territory to support..."
"Territory? Are you still the lord?"
"Ahem..." The male official tapped the table, "And that cloak."
Annan's attitude suddenly became fierce: "They gave me money!"
"How much?"
"300 gold coins."
"300 gold coins... Our etiquette department will pay for this. Please take off your cloak."
"Every game."
Solz College will compete with other colleges in nine games, and Annan will play nine times, which is 2,700 gold coins.
The male official shut his mouth.
The female official eased the awkward atmosphere: "The cloak does not affect the game, you can continue to wear it."
"Thank you."
"My name is Janice, you can call me Jenny."
"Okay, sister Jenny."
"Sister? Oh hehehe..."
Male official Seeing Annan chatting and laughing with his companions, the atmosphere was lively, as if he was redundant.
A few minutes later, Janice ended the pleasant conversation and asked the guards to send Annan back.
"Is this magic? There is actually a man you can talk to." The male official found it surprising. "There is no magic, it's just the child's natural charm." The female official still had a smile on her face. "I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time. I have to make some suggestions to the minister and bring in a few warlocks..."
Annan returned to the players' box five minutes before the start of the second round.
"What does the official of the Etiquette Department want from you?" The deputy dean's hesitation disappeared as Annan appeared.
“I was warned.”
"What are you warning?"
"Warning me...it's not a warning, just asking me why I put on the cloak of the Gem Star, it's already fine."
Annan didn't say anything about peace. Elu Calder's deal, Alice stared at him thoughtfully.
In the second round, there was an additional step of "applying amplification techniques to the arena". On the surface, it was for all the spectators to hear the voices of the contestants, but it was actually aimed at Annan.
Annan felt sorry. There were eight rounds for one college and nine colleges. With a little more diligence, there would be a chance to earn more than in the bottom nest competition.
But the Tatooine Empire probably won't be able to accommodate him.
In the next few battles, Annan was merciless after losing the opportunity to make money. Bel Gordon Knight Academy suffered a devastating defeat, but it gave Elu Calder an extra layer of aura, which was worth every penny.
At the end of the seventh round, the dejected loser returned to the gloomy box.
Alice sat next to Annan: "We have another game in the afternoon, do you want to rest?"
Annan really didn't want to drink any more herbal-flavored magic potions: "But the opponents are all elites , I’m worried about being swept away.”
"Leave it to me," Alice said.
"Okay."
Belgden Knight Academy soon learned the good news: Annan would no longer play, replaced by a man named Theophilus who was not even an elite. mage.
Belgden's last hope, Heller was cautious enough to defeat Theophilus without any suspense. Next, he defeated Amy, making Bear Gordon Knight Academy grateful to Solz Magic Academy. But with the subsequent third, fourth, and fifth victories, their ambitions burned by Annan grew again.
In the end, Heller won the seventh game, leaving only the final battle with Alice. It can be regarded as artificially creating suspense.
Vice Dean Boris was so nervous that he almost melted. Annan was not worried at all. He watched quietly as Alice cast spells calmly, using a basic first-level spell to restrain Heller, and finally ended the battle with a passing arcane missile.
The officials of the etiquette department announced the victory of the first game of the Top Ten Tournament with cheers and regrets: Solz Academy of Magic.
The second game of Solz Academy of Magic was in the afternoon. They made room for other academies and moved to the auditorium. Annan found the arena too noisy and returned to the embassy to rest.
A few colleges quietly left the arena
They gathered in the dark room with the windows covered, and cheers from the arena floated from afar from time to time.
They gathered for only one reason: how to deal with Annan.
In the dark room where they couldn't see each other clearly, the conversation continued.
“I counted Annan’s seven games and cast nine spells in total. As long as he consumes nine spells, the scale of victory will tilt towards us!”
……
< br>In the afternoon, the Ministry of Etiquette announced Solz Academy of Magic vs. Ophelia Elf Academy.
Solz Magic Academy entered the contestants' stand amid warm cheers and looked at their opponents: a group of human rangers holding elven bows and daggers.
In the first round, Annan quickly released the portal to avoid being eliminated by arrows coming out of the corner.
Annan spared no effort, and his magic power became less and less like the ebbing tide. In some scenes, spells are even cast twice - there are actually hidden spellcasters among these rangers. They always shoot powerful or turning magic arrows after drinking magic potions.
Relying on magic potion to consume Annan, when the seventh player appeared on the stage, the young elite ranger felt that his magic power was close to drying up.
"Annan, we know how to defeat you..."
Although his abdomen was bulging and his stomach would keep shaking after a little running, it was all worth it - until Annan also took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it.
“You are cheating!”
