Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold in the Spell Competition
In Quel'Thalas during peacetime, Sylvanas has not yet taken over her sister's role as Ranger General.
This high elf beauty with a hot figure and agility has a daily task of arranging the defense of Silvermoon City's ranger troops.
Since she was relatively free at work, after she had some free time, she crept outside Liras' room and eavesdropped on Liras and his friends discussing the betting arrangements.
The structure of the houses of the high elves is relatively exquisite.
But the windows are simply inlaid with translucent mottled glass.
The sound insulation effect of this kind of window is not much different from nothing.
The voices of those people inside reached Sylvanas's ears very clearly.
Knowing that they were going to bet all their pocket money on Horad to win, Sylvanas was speechless at the stupidity of these guys.
Herard's spellcasting talent is indeed not bad.
But compared with those high elf families with many geniuses, the gap is still huge!
Let’s not talk about the Sun Chaser family that holds the royal power.
Sunfury, Solar Eclipse, Flame Blade, Flame Injury, Flame Eagle.
In these families whose names begin with "Rihe Yan", there are often talented mages with amazing talents.
There are also some families whose names begin with the character fire.
For example, Fire Wings, Fire Kiss, Fire Whisper.
These are also famous families of spellcasters.
Therefore, Sylvanas really does not think highly of Harad.
Although I heard Liras say before, Herard has been working hard recently.
But no matter how hard we try, where can we go?
I'll fight to the death and rub a hundred fireballs every day.
She couldn't imagine how many volumes Herad had.
All basic spells must be practiced at least a thousand times a day.
And this number continues to increase as the mana increases.
Casting a large number of spells increases proficiency, while meditation restores mana and improves mental strength.
Mental power becomes stronger, which means that mana becomes stronger.
If this virtuous cycle continues, the results will be amazing!
The high elves have never seen such a super scroll king.
Even Prince Kael'thas, who is already very diligent, only maintains three small magic balls to practice.
It is difficult for them to become legendary archmages in just a few decades like human geniuses.
Horad is just a high elf with human thinking.
Of course, Sylvanas couldn't have thought of this.
In her mind, Herad must still be a junior mage.
When she met Herard at the opening ceremony of the spell competition, her first words were to inquire about her strength.
"Brother, I heard that you have been working hard recently and are you going to be promoted to the mage level soon?"
Herad has known Sylvanas since he was a child.
He smiled and greeted this beautiful ranger with a great appearance and figure.
"Good morning, second sister! It will take some time for me to advance to the level of mage. It will probably take at least half a year."
Sylvanas was a little surprised when she heard the news.
"It seems that you have been working very hard recently, and you can be promoted in just half a year!
But when you meet those geniuses in the spell competition, it is a bit difficult to get a ranking!"
She has been working in Silver Moon City in the past few years, and she has With hundreds of rangers at your disposal, they are far better informed than anyone else.
Whoever was promoted to an intermediate mage in the junior magic academy or who deliberately failed to advance to a higher school in order to participate in the spell competition could not escape her eyes.
After giving Harad a small blow, Sylvanas asked him to introduce the strength of the players and analyze their chances of ranking.
After summarizing various factors, she came to a conclusion that was not too bad.
"You are still far from the mid-level mage, and your chances of qualifying are not very great.
But if you are lucky, you can still qualify this time."
Looking at her lucid analysis, Liras, who knew the situation, almost couldn't hold it back.
However, for the sake of making money, he still held back his complaints.
A lot of money is going to come in soon, so you have to keep a low profile.
The opening ceremony of the spell competition was grand.
After all, magic is the fundamental force that high elves rely on for their survival.
Even Prince Kael'thas, who is resident in the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran and serves as a member of the six-person council, teleported back to Silvermoon City to attend the opening ceremony.
Looking at Prince Kael'thas, who had three small orbs hovering above his head on the high platform and was a model of wealth and handsomeness, Herard curled his lips in disdain.
In his mind, all princes with the three words Ersus in their names are scammers.
Prince Alsace was too extreme, massacred the city, killed his father and destroyed the country. Prince Kael'thas was suffering from a sudden illness and sought medical treatment indiscriminately, which also caused great trouble to the kingdom!
Blindness and short-sightedness are common problems among everyone in this world.
Even those prophets who can foresee the future only see fragments of the future, and it is difficult to observe the truth.
Although Herard is a time traveler, he dare not say that his memory is definitely no problem.
At present, he can only work hard to improve his strength, and at the same time try his best to find out about world events.
For example, there should have been problems with the guardian Medivh who responded to the orc invasion.
During the stage when important figures came to the stage to speak, the high elves captured the essence of China.
Several important people talked a lot, and they talked from morning to noon.
Fortunately, after lunch it was time for the first stage of the competition.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the important figures will have to talk about this opening ceremony until the evening!
The mode of spell competition is similar to that of normal competition.
First, all players are assigned to groups, and the strongest player from the eight groups competes to enter the finals.
However, the spell competition did not have much planning for the seeded players.
Selecting strong people does not require so many twists and turns.
If you can't beat other seeded players, you deserve to be eliminated.
There are more than two hundred contestants in the Junior Magic Academy.
After playing three to four games, we can advance to the quarterfinals.
Seeing the results of the random grouping come out, Sylvanas patted her chest excitedly.
"It's okay that you are in the second group. That Kelsen Fire Whisper is not an intermediate mage yet, so you should have a chance to defeat him."
Herard didn't care about this result.
He paid more attention to Sylvanas's movements of slapping her chest.
While peeking at the waves, he pretended to agree with her words.
"Second sister said there is a chance, then I must seize this opportunity. If you buy me to win later, it will be no problem!"
Although Sylvanas was paying attention to the player list, her senses were very sharp.
He noticed that Herard was peeking at him and patting his chest in an indecent manner.
She immediately put her hand down calmly.
Upon discovering this situation, Herard did not continue to peek and started to prepare for the game.
It is prohibited to bring any enchanted equipment and props into the spell competition.
Give the equipment to Sylvanas and go straight to the field.
In Herard's first match, his opponent was a young girl.
Unlike the physical profession, there is no age requirement for spellcasters.
As long as you can create fireballs, there will be no problem in combat.
And those who can stand here are actually not weak.
Even though the little girl hasn't grown up yet, she can roll fireballs very neatly!
Herard turned on the magic shield and let the opponent attack first in a graceful manner.
Battles between mages are boring.
Turn on the spell shield with your first hand, and then attack each other to consume.
But if you can take action first, you can indeed take advantage of it.
The little girl immediately started rolling fireballs without any hesitation.
Different from the game, the wizard's spell system is very large, and it is by no means only arcane, fire, and ice.
However, due to the influence of the Sun Chaser family, high elf mages generally prefer the fire system.
It is normal to start rolling fireballs with your hands.
A fireball as big as a fist hit the spell shield. The red and light blue energies canceled each other out, eventually causing a shallow ripple.
Assessing the little girl's fireball-rolling speed, Herard rolled the fireballs at a slightly faster speed than hers.
The two sides exchanged monotonous fireballs, which finally ended with the little girl running out of mana.
Compared with the vigorous attacks of those seed players, Herard's war of attrition was nothing to watch.
The odds between the two sides are basically even at one to one.
But for some punters who knew the result, it was clearly a free fortune!
In a show-level game, you can get golden coins.
Herard finally realized the fun of match-fixing!
The difference between him and match-fixing is that he has absolute initiative.
And the final result was not fake.
Sunday, I will post another chapter later
