Age of Adepts

Chapter 291: arena

Views:

The ring stands, the huge elliptical battle space, the indestructible energy shield, and the fanatical audience...

In terms of architectural structure and shape design, the Guliat Arena is no different from the ancient arena in Greem's impression.

Therefore, when Greem followed the wizards of the Byron family into the arena slowly, the arena was dead silent. All wizards and apprentices sat quietly in their seats, and looked at them with incomprehensible eyes.

After seeing Greem, some familiar wizards in the stands couldn't help getting together and chatting in a low voice. But just watching their lips move lightly, but no sound came out, obviously they were all using communication techniques to communicate.

"Don't be nervous! Our Byron family will take over all the off-the-market moves for you, you just need to work hard to defeat the opponent." Wizard Nunnally gritted her teeth and said to Greem: "Remember, you must win !"

Although they knew that this would bring additional pressure to Greem, at this moment, the Byron family had no other way out. Therefore, after Nunnally gave Greem a vicious "encouragement", she sat down silently and said nothing.

Angus smiled awkwardly, and also gave Greem an incomprehensible look, and didn't say much.

The battle space of the arena is fully 1 mile in diameter, and the ground has been hardened to a certain extent, which is more than enough to withstand two golems fighting inside. There are about 200 seats in the auditorium outside the stadium, and they are all full. Among them, there are about forty or fifty wizards, and the rest are elite apprentices sent by various families.

Just as Greem was looking around calmly, there was a sudden commotion in the arena.

"It's coming! It's coming..."

"Look, that guy is here again..."

"This time I can see the puppet knight killing all directions again..."

"..."

For a while, there was a lot of noise and discussions in the venue.

Greem withdrew his gaze and turned his head to wait and see, just in time to see a tall and mighty metal battle puppet following a group of wizards step by step and entering the arena. Before the team approached, the heavy footsteps of the metal combat puppet and the unique sound of mechanism friction had already rushed towards us.

There are as many as seven wizards, male and female.

And they uniformly wear a family crest with a roaring bear's head on their chests, which is the wizard of the Gretor family.

Walking in the front was a bald man wearing a thick copper armor. As a level 2 wizard and the patriarch of the Gretor family, as soon as he entered the arena, his eyes were tightly entangled with Wizard Nunnally, and there was a deep hatred in it.

Such a scene made Greem deeply suspect that apart from the fight between the two families, there should be other conflicts involved. But at this moment, both sides had no room to retreat, so Greem abandoned any unreasonable thoughts and turned his attention to his opponent, the puppeteer and his puppet knight. body.

Greem glanced across the 7 wizards on the opposite side, and soon found the puppeteer among them.

Of course, this is not because the puppeteer is different from other wizards, but because the holographic image of the puppeteer is in the information given to him by the Byron family.

This is a wretched old man with a short stature, wrinkled face and white goatee beard. Checking the breath on his body, it seems that he is not much stronger than himself. It is estimated that the mental power does not exceed 10 points, otherwise Greem would not be able to detect the strength of his breath.

After this period of precipitation, Greem can be considered to have a preliminary understanding of Tier 1 wizards.

As long as one successfully condenses the core of a wizard and can initially realize the power of the laws of the plane, one can officially become a wizard. Under normal circumstances, a new wizard's spiritual power is only 1 point, and the most basic condition for becoming a second-level wizard is to reach 21 points of mental power.

So the peak state of a level 1 wizard is just to push up the mental power to 20 points!

Level 1 wizards at their peak state have 20 points of spiritual power, while newly promoted wizards have 1 point of spiritual power. Although the real combat power of the two sides cannot simply be based on the level of spiritual power, the gap in strength between the two sides has already been seen.

For a level 1 wizard, 10 points of spiritual power are usually used as a threshold. If you cross this threshold, you can be called an elite wizard, but if you don't cross this threshold, you will always be a novice.

For example, Wizard Anderson, who died in the hands of Greem, has been promoted for more than 300 years, and still has not crossed the threshold of 10 points of spiritual power. This kind of guy without any potential for improvement can only be called a veteran wizard until his death, and he is not qualified to put the word "elite" on himself.

It has to be said that nearly 60% of Tier 1 wizards in the Wizarding Continent have difficulty crossing this threshold in their entire lives!

And Lu Nuo, the Puppeteer of the Gretto family in front of him, has burned more than half of his life, but his mental power is still at the official wizard level. It can also be seen from this that he no longer has the possibility of attacking a second-level wizard.

It can be said that this is also an embarrassing reality that esoteric wizards cannot avoid.

Spend too much time looking for better magic gold formulas, searching for the ideal rare metals, constantly improving and optimizing the puppet witch formation, and carefully crafting your own ultimate golem... This item, piece by piece , each of which would take years and months of time for the esoteric wizards. If these times are added up, the glorious and great life of an upright wizard will be burned in no time!

So in general, there are very few high-level wizards of the third and fourth ranks among the mysterious wizards, and even rarer are the great wizards above the fifth rank.

Even the high-ranking wizards and great wizards owned by the Silver Alliance now rarely advance through their own efforts. Most of them were cultivated by the Silver Alliance at all costs because of their outstanding contributions, and they were created by spending resources.

This kind of person is called the Chosen One among the esoteric wizards!

Therefore, for those with mediocre talents, if they know that there is no hope of advancing to the next rank, it is better to devote themselves to the esoteric wizards. In this way, once some groundbreaking new knowledge and new routes are proposed on the esoteric route, it may be favored by the Silver Alliance Council and thus become the chosen one.

It's a pity that this Lu Nuo puppeteer is obviously neither a person with outstanding potential nor qualified to be the chosen one, so his strength is not high or low, and he seems to be a little weaker than Greem.

But today's competition is about the power of a puppet, not a puppeteer, so Greem glanced at Lu Nuo and focused his attention on the metal puppet behind him.

This is a metal battle puppet carved into the shape of a human knight. Silver-white metal armor, a full-face metal helmet, and a huge sword and shield on the back. Although it is impossible to walk as nimbly as a human, it is much smoother and more agile than ordinary golems.

Seeing that the two families that applied for the duel had arrived, the silver wizard who had been waiting on the sidelines finally spoke.

"Now that you're all here, let your chosen esoteric wizard enter the arena! Remember, the most important rule of the esoteric competition is that wizards are not allowed to attack the opponent directly, and only their own golems, golems, and puppets are allowed to form Pretending to fight. Any party that violates the competition rules will be directly judged as a loser, so please use your witchcraft with caution! Alright, let’s enter the arena now!"

Although this silver-robed wizard is only Tier 1, he represents the Silver Alliance, so even the Tier 2 wizards of the two families dare not ignore him lightly. Greem and that Lu Nuo stepped forward quickly and stood in front of the silver-robed wizard.

The silver-robed wizard's eyes first fell on the puppet knight, with a look of admiration and expectation on his face. But when he looked at Greem, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "Your name is Greem, representing the Byron family? Where's your puppet?"

Greem took out the summoning crystal core from his waist pocket and threw it lightly. With a bang, the flame burst, and a tall and mighty giant was born from the flame, standing quietly on the spot.

"Elemental puppet!"

"He actually used an elemental puppet to fight the golem, the Byron family must be crazy..."

"Yeah, yeah, don't tell me the Byron family doesn't have any common sense. Would it be very disadvantageous to use an elemental puppet to fight a golem..."

Noisy voices rose immediately, pouring into the ears of everyone in the Byron family from all directions.

The mental fluctuations of Nunnali Wizard Sen Leng hovered in the field for a while, and the hustle and bustle of discussions disappeared instantly. No matter where it is, a level 2 wizard is worthy of respect. At least before they humiliated the Byron family, they had to think about whether they had the ability to bear the anger of a second-level wizard!

Everyone can see clearly.

The wizard representing the Byron family was obviously an elemental wizard, and he brought an elemental puppet into the battle, either of which indicated the loss of the chips in the battle. And if the two are added together, I am afraid that there will be no defeat but no victory.

So what if the elemental wizards are powerful? In the esoteric competition, wizards are not allowed to shoot at any target other than their own dolls, and the powerful combat power of elemental wizards is tantamount to wasting in vain. Moreover, the elemental puppet's body is too weak to support the raging steel and iron bones of the puppet, so the outcome of today's battle seems to be doomed.

The silver-robed wizard couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and waved his hands to signal the two to enter the arena.

Lu Nuo led the Puppet Knight, Greem led the Flame Tyrant, and the two entered the arena through a temporary light screen.

As the light screen slowly disappeared, the arena became a closed space again.

Looking out from the inside, what I saw was a gray mask that completely covered the place. The outside scene was completely replaced by a hazy mist, no objects could be seen, and no sound could be heard.

It seems that this is also an arrangement to avoid outside interference from the competition!

Greem brought the Flame Tyrant to one side of the mask and stood still, turning around just in time to meet Lu Nuo's sinister sneer.

"Boy, admit defeat early! Otherwise, the puppet will be dismantled to pieces later, don't feel bad!"

Greem shook his head and laughed, he didn't even bother to pay attention to this guy who was about to be defeated.

"I declare that the battle begins now!" The voice of the silver-robed wizard suddenly sounded in the arena.

Greem immediately took out a bottle of gray potion from his pocket, and poured it down in one breath.
