Chapter 234 Is it necessary to gamble?(1/2)
...
After a hurrying shower in the second half of the night, the sky in the Patrick Islands was as clean and refreshing as if it had been washed.
Around the island, the sea water reflects the sky, the sky connects the ocean, and the blue is everywhere, and time seems to have slowed down at this moment.
Compared with the tranquility and beauty outside the island, the center of Patrick's main island was already crowded with people at this time.
"Hurry, go quickly! The final of the Truth Conference is about to begin! If you walk slowly, you will not have a place to watch the game!"
"Yes, yes, we guys have to hurry up!"
"By the last promotion match, I really opened my eyes."
"I thought that in the promotion match, Stuart, Charles, and the Siren Karen Glacier would dominate the whole game, but I never expected that Wu Hui and Lawrence would win the end in the end."
"Hey, do you think in this last final, did Wu Hui and Lawrence laugh the last time, or were the three geniuses regaining their form and winning the championship in one fell swoop?"
"Um... hard to say. Hey, stop talking, squeeze in, there is no good seat."
Several young magicians wearing gray robes and full of youth trotting all the way and squeezed to the top of the mountain with the crowd.
This is a low mountain located in the middle of the main island. The low mountain is not high, but there is an ancient altar ruin on it. It is also one of the several important ancient ruins in the Patrick Islands.
This area was once one of the forbidden areas directly under the jurisdiction of the college. However, in the past decade, relevant personnel from the Magic Association have completed the scientific research on this ruins and have just decided to open them recently. Therefore, this ancient ruin has become the final venue of this Truth Conference and a competitive competition.
"Give it aside, please give it aside."
"Don't squeeze, didn't you see anyone in front of you?"
"Hey, then, what is that altar for? Will the final be held on that altar?"
"It seems to be..."
"Oh, ancient magic is worthy of the origin of modern magic. There is really too much knowledge to discover. Such a competition is hard to figure out."
The final venue is an altar ruins located on the top of the mountain.
This altar is only more than two meters high, but it is as big as seven or eight basketball courts. The altar is round as a whole and is made of large pieces of almost weathered white rocks. The style is a bit rough, but it is full of a sense of vicissitudes of being washed over time and integrated with the entire mountain.
Now there are nearly twice as many viewers as the second qualifying match, and they are surrounded by crowds under this not-too-high altar.
Basically, except for the Magic Association and the Academic members who had to be on duty, almost everyone came here. Even foreign merchants who came from all over the country gathered a lot today.
If there are so many people and merchants in the first two preliminaries and the qualifying matches that they are like celebrating the festival, then today is an unprecedented grand event.
Everyone was looking forward to it and was eagerly waiting for the start of the final of this Conference of Truth.
Suddenly, I don’t know who shouted first, “Look, it’s President Wood, he’s here!”
The crowd surrounding the altar immediately became boiling.
Soon, a passage was separated by the bustling crowd.
President Wood, wearing a grand robe, the Ice Disaster Iceville, and the luxurious and noble court saint magician Andrew Havi, three important bigwigs in the magic world, accompanied by relevant personnel from the Magic Association, climbed to the rostrum set up above the altar.
After losing two consecutive games, President Wood's face was obviously much more serious than before.
He raised his hand and signaled the crowd to be quiet. Then he announced loudly to everyone: "The final of this Truth Conference is about to begin. Let us invite ten outstanding players who entered the final, Wu Hui, Lawrence, Daisyva Haege... Charles Spring Hall, Karen Glacier, and Ben Stuart to climb to the altar!"
President Wood's voice was calm and powerful, and it immediately spread throughout the audience through the amplification magic.
At this time, the quiet and eye-catching crowd separated two passages on their own again. Wu Hui, Lawrence, and three genius children and other ten advanced players climbed to the altar from the left and right sides.
“It’s really lively today.”
Wu Hui stood on the altar and looked around. The entire altar was covered with people standing shoulder to shoulder. At first glance, he couldn't count them.
"Haha, it's better to have more people!"
Beside Wu Hui, Lawrence laughed loudly and said, "Today, Lawrence, I, under the witness of so many eyes, will reach the peak of glory!"
Uh...Wu Hui had to smile awkwardly and politely under so many eyes.
In short, Lawrence has already been running all the way on the middle school road, and he can't hold on.
Except for Lawrence, the scene was extremely arrogant, civilian magicians like Cody, Ritchie Taylor, and Pilt were all excited and full of glory.
They miraculously entered the finals in the last game because of Wu Hui's glory, and they are still a little unbelievable. This feeling is like living in a dream for them.
"Xiao Dai, there is one last game left, so cheer up." Wu Hui patted Daishiva Haige's shoulder beside him and muttered in a low voice, "The last game was called tactics, it was all stupid things that Lawrence did, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Hmph." Princess Haige turned her face and obviously ignored him.
Princess Haige blocked her face with her hood again today. After experiencing a nightmare-like disgusting encounter in the last promotion match, she felt that it was very embarrassing to stand in front of anyone now.
Opposite Princess Haige, Karen Glacier, who was standing opposite, had a blue face and a pair of evil pupils that looked like a sea snake. From time to time, he would sweep towards Haige, Wu Hui and others, full of deep resentment.
Ben Stuart and the third prince Charles, their attitude towards Wu Hui was also extremely bad. When they looked at the eyes of Wu Hui, Lawrence and others, they seemed to be about to spit out fire.
How noble are the three of them? They don’t even look at ordinary poor people like Wu Hui and Lawrence on weekdays. But now, at such an important conference of truth, they are defeated by these two despicable and shameless boys, who are endless and tricks. They can’t swallow this tone.
A sharp atmosphere at the scene was spreading invisibly.
It seemed that the only female player from the academy, Melia Hurt, seemed to be indifferent to this.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to just want to prove herself at this conference. As for other trivial matters, they had nothing to do with her.
President Wood glanced at the reactions of each contestant. In order to avoid the intensification of the conflict between the contestants, he simply kept it simple. In addition, his mood was too bad, and he no longer spoke long and went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ten players who have entered the finals, please stand in front of those slabs."
With President Wood's guidance, Wu Hui and others walked to the middle of the altar, about one meter square, and placed flat in front of the stone slabs on the ground.
After walking here, Wu Hui found that these stone slabs were not that simple.
There are also ten stone slabs, but they are quite old and are engraved with strange patterns and tedious words that you can't understand. Rather than saying that this is a stone slab, it is a core component of a magic circle.
Because the ten players including Wu Hui and others are now standing at a small magic array of more than ten square meters, and there is a groove at the core of the magic array, which matches the stone slabs on the ground according to the situation.
"All the players, listen."
President Wood's language was concise and introduced to the ten contestants and the crowds of onlookers loudly, saying, "As you can see, these small magic circles are all ruins of the ancient magic circles from ancient times. Those stone slabs are replicas of the core originals of the ancient magic circle that were dismantled by special members of our Magic Association!"
As soon as these words were said, the crowd at the scene immediately exclaimed and exclaimed.
Everyone knows that the previous era belonged to the era of ancient magic. The ancient magic is profound and profound. If the ruins of the ancient magic array in the ancient era are used as the final exam questions, it would be too profound and difficult!
"Brother Wu Hui, don't worry, I have the favor of the God of Magic. We will definitely win this final!" Lawrence was so majestic and energetic that even his chest was slapping.
"That's right, yes, nothing unexpected happens. The magic god will still favor you in this final." Wu Hui nodded at him and said to himself that Lawrence probably would never have thought that the magic god he was thinking about was now in the inconspicuous ring on his finger.
"quiet!"
President Wood raised his hand and suppressed the noisy voice, and continued to introduce, "For fairness and balance, the replicas of the core originals have suffered the same degree of damage and problems. In other words, the final test of this final of the Truth Conference is to repair these core components of the ancient magic array at the fastest speed within the time limit of three magic months, and restart the entire magic site!"
At this time, not only the onlookers below the altar, but also the many contestants on the altar felt tremendous pressure.
Experts from the Magic Association have studied and repaired the ancient magic array ruins on the altar. Now the core components of these magic array ruins have been dismantled and copied, and then placed in front of every contestant with the same degree of damage.
Now if you want to get a higher ranking in the final and win the final championship, you have to truly unravel the mysteries of ancient magic, repair the ancient core components, and restart the entire magic array site.
The difficulty here is much more difficult than the previous preliminaries and qualifying matches.
"Dear players, our association will provide you with a unified repair tool. And after the finals officially begin, every player entering the ruins of the magic array will be surrounded by the results generated by the magic array. The barrier will be cut off from any voice contact with the outside world until the game is completed, and the barrier will be opened by itself."
With the introduction of President Wood, the staff of the Magic Association put a series of tool boxes at the moment of the ten contestants including Wu Hui and Lawrence.
Under the guidance of the staff, Wu Hui and Lawrence and ten other contestants came to the designated locations to stand.
As the staff retreated one after another, Case Wood, the president of the Magic Association, announced loudly: "The final of the Truth Conference has officially begun!"
In an instant, a translucent bowl-shaped magic barrier immediately wrapped the magic ruins, along with the contestants inside.
The contestants inside the barrier could not see outside or any sound except the magic circle ruins in front of them. The audience outside could clearly see every move of the contestants inside the barrier.
Such a special competition event and experience of watching the game made the onlookers feel excited and talked a lot.
"Wow, this final is too difficult!"
"Compared with previous sessions, the test events of this finals actually require contestants to directly repair the ruins of ancient magic!"
"What did President Wood think? Those contestants are so young, how could they understand the mystery contained in ancient magic?"
"It seems that this will be a test that will really test the background and accumulation."
"Hey, you guys say, can Wu Hui and Lawrence come to the end in this term?"
"They? Not... difficult!"
Needless to say, the content of the test in the first round of the qualifiers is the basic knowledge of modern magic. Basically, as long as you study hard, you can master this knowledge and become a real magic scholar.
In the second round of the qualifying competition, the test content is to use it, and the balanced teaming at high and low positions, as well as many tactical skills that can be used in actual combat. Even if the strength is low, you can still win high points with the cooperation of tactics and teammates.
Therefore, in the eyes of many live audiences, Wu Hui and Lawrence were somewhat lucky to advance to the first round of the qualifiers and the second round of the qualifiers.
At least in these two rounds of competition, with some cleverness and good luck, you can advance smoothly, and even get a high pick.
But this third final is different. You should know that ancient magic is the source of modern magic. It has a high status in the modern magic world. There are too many mysteries that have not been solved yet. It belongs to the top research scope in the magic world.
To put it bluntly, ancient magic is only the fields of research that experts and old scholars in the magic world have involved. Often, some advanced magicians can study for a lifetime.
This difficult field of magic is really difficult for many young magicians, and they have no idea how to start. Most young magicians cannot even understand the most basic ancient characters and magic inscriptions.
The test content of the third final now is to repair the core components of the ancient magic array ruins. This test question alone can basically stump more than 99% of the young magicians in the world.
