Chapter 658 Free Labor

As soon as Lucy finished speaking, Thor put away his momentum.

He originally didn't think that the powerful second-level people chosen by the Stargate Council were meant to kill each other.

That's a stupid waste.

However, Thor would not ignore Luke's secret provocations several times.

Anyway, if someone really wants to kill someone, he will definitely be the one who survives.

No matter what backup plans these people have, as long as Thor senses that the battlefield has begun, none of them will be able to escape.

What's more, he is already a second-level wizard. Although he is not sure that he can use the battlefield of consciousness to imprison a third-level wizard, it is no problem for him to deal with wizards of the same level.

Corey's eyes returned to dullness, and only Luke still looked a little stiff.

Lucy was quite satisfied with the effect of her warning words, and the coldness on her face dissipated a little.

She raised her hand, and suddenly three floating magic scrolls appeared in her palm.

Each scroll has an exquisite seal with golden patterns on it.

"This is the magic circle that the Stargate Council just designed to suppress the eye of the storm, the Ice Lock. But for various reasons, the design has not yet been completed.

If anyone among you can complete the design of the magic circle and improve your own strength to the point where you can loosen the door in your body on your own, you will win the selection.

Stargate will provide all the human and material resources needed for advancement, helping you to completely open the door within your body."

None of the three candidates reacted much to Lucy's words. Apparently, not only Thor, but everyone else also knew the reward for the successful selection before coming here.

But I didn't expect that the selection criteria would be to study witchcraft arrays.

Luke bought himself a new mouth and threw the old one to Kafka beside him.

Kafka took the food in his mouth and swallowed it down with a "cool" sound, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time.

"Luke's resurrection has serious side effects." Thor saw this scene and shook his head in his heart, "He can't compare with his mentor at all."

"The design and improvement of witchcraft arrays are measured in years. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to use this as a selection criterion?" said Luke, who had changed his mouth.

Lucy turned her head to look at him and said, "If you feel that you can't complete the design and modification of the Ice Locking Array within a year, then you can withdraw from the selection."

Luke immediately narrowed his eyes, obviously unhappy with Lucy's words and her attitude.

Corey still showed no emotion.

Thor stroked his chin, seemingly thinking about how to complete the task as quickly as possible, but he was thinking strangely in his heart: "It's not my illusion, Lucy really doesn't like this selection. Is she dissatisfied with the selection of the third level, or is she dissatisfied with us candidates?"

A smile flashed in Thor's eyes. He did not ignore the fact that Lucy was also a second-level wizard and had been lingering at the second level for a long time.

If she was really the eldest daughter of the Stargate Council, perhaps she would not care about the opportunity to be promoted to the third level at all.

But she is just an artificial human, and Stargate Speaker Alick may not be willing to give her so many resources for promotion.

And relying on herself... Thor really couldn't see how powerful the talent of this young lady was.

"What if one of us can loosen the door inside our body and complete the design of the ice lock array at the same time?" Thor asked.

Since we are going to compete, we must make the rules of the competition clear.

"If both of them come to hand in the magic circle at the same time, or have been at the Old Manor for no more than one day, then the merits of the magic circles designed by the two people will be compared. The side with the tighter blockade of pollution will be the winner." Lu answered without hesitation, and it was obvious that she had thought of this answer long ago.

"From what you're saying," Luke had regained his composure by now, "don't we need to conduct the research in the same place? Then how can you ensure that the candidates won't cheat and ask for help from others?"

Thor thought to himself, "Even if I were locked up with you, you wouldn't be able to find out that I asked for help from others."

"I never said you couldn't ask for help from others." Lucy gave an unexpected answer, "Your knowledge and connections are also a test of you. After all, we don't want new third-level wizards to have to fight alone when they need to."

"We don't want a powerful third-level wizard. We want someone who can quickly step forward and solve problems when problems arise in the Borderlands."

"If any of you can invite a fifth-level wizard, then the Stargate Council will have no problem promoting you to elder, not to mention the third level."

I saw that no one had any other questions to ask.

Lucy handed the three scrolls in her hand to the three people.

After Thor took the scroll in his hand, he was still staring at Lucy out of the corner of his eye, and saw that her eyes were also fixed on the scroll.

"Sure enough, she actually wants to be one of the candidates." Thor silently put away the scroll, called Byron, and the two flew away together on the giant bird Diudiu.

Standing on the bird's back, Byron took the lead in unfolding the Ice Lock Scroll.

Although this was a question given by the Stargate Council to several second-level wizards, Byron had sufficient basic knowledge and was able to understand the question.

"This ice lock array has the same idea as the inertia formula we are studying now."

Thor tilted his head to look at it and nodded. "It's the same thing. It reduces the activity of the Kuroshio pollution. But they want to freeze it, while we want to deactivate it. The degree is a little worse."

Byron was not proud of this. "If we didn't have the inactivated anti-fans in our hands, I'm afraid we wouldn't have thought of this. Even if we did, we wouldn't have any clue."

"This array is said to be unfinished, but in fact it only has a general framework." Thor chuckled and stopped looking at the scroll. "The Stargate Council has found three free laborers and asked us to help them find a new way to seal the eye of the storm. Even if we all fail in the end, they can temporarily send a third-level person to guard the unowned land until the problem of the eye of the storm is solved."

Byron slowly rolled up the scroll of the magic circle and said calmly, "But they don't know that we are also studying similar problems. Although this magic circle only has a framework, it provides us with a new way to solve the problem."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I now have a new idea for solving a problem that I'm stuck on."

Thor smiled and patted Diudiu under him, "Then let's speed up and go back."

The giant pale yellow bird drew a graceful arc in the sky.

The shuttle arrived on time to pick up his master.

The pumpkin carriage disappeared on the road.

Only Lucy was left standing quietly in front of the gate of the old manor.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered as she looked at the ground diagonally in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

About ten minutes later, the three candidates had walked out of sight in the distance, and another person slowly walked out of the old manor.

He had a smile on his face and walked in a casual manner, with a small silver harp hooked between his middle and ring fingers.

"It doesn't feel good to give away an opportunity with your own hands, right?"

Lucy turned back suddenly and the coldness on her face disappeared, gradually turning into an expression of aggrieved but stubbornness that could not be revealed.

"You don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense."

If it were in the past, Lucy might have hit him directly, but now that she had gotten to know Kismet, she found that although this man was frivolous and sometimes talked nonsense, he was actually considerate and always took care of her emotions without her noticing.

In addition, he was beaten half to death by Ophelia last time. If Lucy had not seen him, he might have died in this dangerous manor.

This made Lucy unable to bear to beat him.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw clearly these days that you waited another day after getting the scroll before calling everyone over. You just didn't want to give up the opportunity to advance to the third level, right?"

Kismet's index finger slid lightly across the strings, producing a subtle and lingering sound.

"You actually want to be a candidate, right? That's easy. I can help you kill one of them. Then there will be a vacant candidate position, right?"

Kismet continued to move closer, and his breath hit the woman's forehead.

"Who do you want to die?"

"Luke?"

"Corey?"

"...Or Thor?"
