As soon as this statement came out, the interest of the onlookers became even higher, and more than twenty other mages nodded excitedly in agreement. As for the opponent across the open space, his eyes shone and he looked at Benjamin expectantly.
Seeing this, Benjamin was a little helpless.
… He should have thought of it earlier.
To be honest, he felt a little tired after fighting so many times today, fighting Warcraft and the priest. The consumption of mental power is not simply like magic value, which will be recovered after sitting for a while. It recovers very slowly, especially after many consecutive battles, it recovers even more slowly.
However, under the current situation, it was not easy for him to refuse.
"I wonder what this friend means?" After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at the mage from the Mage Guild across the open space.
"My name is Richard. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Benjamin." The other party nodded and said, "This request is indeed a bit rude, but I am also very curious about the level of magic in the kingdom. I don't know if it will Offended you?"
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Because of the old man's previous introductions and those monopolistic practices, his impression of the Mages Guild was still not very good. But what I didn't expect was that the mage in front of me didn't look arrogant at all, but felt very polite.
However, probably because of his politeness, it was even harder for Benjamin to refuse.
"In that case, let's give it a try." He nodded and said.
As he spoke, he looked around again. In addition to the mage, there were also some curious passers-by. However, there were not many people watching, and many people just took one look and left. Probably in the territory of Ikol, it is not particularly uncommon for mages to take action.
Unfortunately, he did not see the old man.
Benjamin was thinking as he put down his fruitful package and handed it to a mage next to him. He moved his aching shoulders, adjusted his condition, and prepared for battle.
"I heard that you just came back from the Dark Monster Forest in the south, and your mental energy must have been very exhausted." However, Richard from the Mages Guild seemed to be a little too considerate, "If this is the case, It feels a little unfair to do it.”
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Let's just discuss it, it's okay."
Although he didn't know what level his opponent was, he was quite confident in his own strength. Besides, it's not a life and death fight, so there's no need to take it so seriously.
Unfortunately, Richard shook his head and said: "It's better to do this. In order to ensure fairness, we don't use low-level magic or above, only entry-level and low-level magic. These magics don't require much mental power, even if your Excellency We have gone through several battles before and it won’t have much impact.”
Hearing this, a strange look suddenly appeared on Benjamin's face.
… honestly
Among the crowd of onlookers, the group of mages who had escaped from the kingdom all looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes. Some even reached out to cover their mouths, as if they didn't want others to see their weird expressions of holding back laughter. When other people around him saw this reaction, they were naturally even more confused.
"The delivery service has started on the other side, hurry up!" The system also appeared and shouted excitedly.
“…”
Benjamin didn't think there was anything to get excited about. It's just a competition. Even if you win, it will only look good, and there will be no real benefits. Is it necessary for the system to be so excited
but…
Speaking of benefits.
"Are you sure you really want to fight like this?" While thinking about it, Benjamin asked politely.
Richard nodded and replied confidently: "Mr. Benjamin, please don't underestimate me. My basic skills are very good, and I have always been called the basic magic encyclopedia in the guild. Putting forward this condition is actually not Not only for your consideration, but also for my benefit."
Basic magic encyclopedia
That's it...
I don’t know why, but at this moment Benjamin suddenly felt like laughing.
"Well, since we are competing, let's bet something." He suppressed a sly smile from appearing on his face, and said seemingly normally, "Just fighting like this, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it doesn't seem to be interesting."
However, after hearing this, the other party looked like he was playing into his heart.
"Just in time, we are here to visit you. Actually, we just hope to invite you to Regina to participate in an event of our guild." His slightly proud tone sounded like he was setting a trap to trick Benjamin. He said, "If I win, I won't ask for anything. I just hope that you can accept our invitation and go to the capital at the agreed time."
Although it played into Benjamin's wish, when he heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
invite…
Is this the purpose of the Mages Guild specifically sending people to find him
He didn't know why, but he felt that people all over the world were running to the capital of Ikol. The three priests who were hiding their identities were running there for some reason. As a result, now, people from the Mages Guild came to visit him and wanted to drag Benjamin to the capital. What is this situation
There's a feeling...that something is going to happen.
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly felt a little glad that he had made such a bet.
Fortunately, I made this bet.
With this bet, Benjamin believed that he was safe. If someone really wanted to lower the level of magic below the low level, he believed that even the bishop would not be his opponent.
Therefore, he still nodded and said: "No problem. But... if I win, just give me a bottle of potion. Which potion do you think you can give me? I believe that with your personality, you will definitely give it to me." Make a bet of equal value."
Hearing this, Richard did not object. He took out a very small glass bottle containing a strange red liquid, held it carefully in his hand, and showed it to Benjamin.
Benjamin felt a little confused.
Is this the magic potion
Through the water element perception method, he did not feel any unusual elemental fluctuations in the bottle. However, he doesn't understand these things. Judging from the cautious look on the other side, he must be a pretty good guy.
"This is the famous short-term magic potion. After drinking it, it can double the strength of the mage for a period of time. It is a very precious potion." Richard was heard to introduce it in an unusually solemn way, "I finally I just got a bottle, now I’m using it as a bet, it should be enough.”
Benjamin nodded without objection.
In this way, the bet between the two was concluded. The surrounding onlookers took a few steps back to give them more space. At the same time, they each stepped back, smiled, and nodded to each other.
—They are ready and ready to take action.
So, accompanied by the whisper of a spell, Richard took the lead in using a series of fireballs. Then, ten huge fireballs were condensed above Richard's head, like ten shining miniature suns in the dark night, causing waves of exclamations among everyone.
"It's amazing... how do you practice to summon ten fireballs in a row at once?" Frank among the mage team exclaimed.
"What's the point? It's not that our meditation time is too short. If it lasts for a long time, it will definitely be used."
Under the different gazes of everyone, Richard waved his hands, and ten fireballs rushed straight towards Benjamin like meteorites falling from the sky. Following this, it was also announced that the magic competition in Hank Town had officially begun.
