Led by the guards, Luther and his party arrived at the hall! Needless to say, the layout of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion is very luxurious and grand.
It is also very large and can accommodate hundreds of people.
When Luther came in and saw the scene, he was a little startled. There were so many people, and they all looked difficult to deal with.
Luther also saw two skeletons, and guessed that they were the legendary undead lich.
But it just so happened that Luther was planning to do something, and he couldn't do it without the cooperation of a big shot.
There were quite a lot of big shots present. The seats at the top were densely packed. In addition to the city lord Potala and the generals, there were a total of thirty-five magic city lords or representatives above the level of "Elemental Furnace".
In the entire Bright Star Region, this already accounts for a small half of the number of magicians of this level.
Even in previous years, the Phoenix Trial was a big event in the Bright Star Domain. The bigwigs would recruit outstanding people with no background to train them.
There are a lot of big names that have attracted much attention this year. A "wild" person who may have no background brought a magic weapon, which not only helped himself to obtain excellence, but also helped four of his friends to obtain excellence.
It would be very satisfying if we could catch all these people in one fell swoop.
Not to mention the person holding the divine weapon.
If it weren't for the fact that the inheritance of the divine weapon was almost impossible to conquer, then the big shots would definitely not be able to resist trying to snatch it.
After Luther and others came in, they were first led aside by the guards because there would be a ranking next, and their seats would be ranked according to their merit points.
In the past, the big shots would remain reserved, but at this moment they couldn't help whispering.
"Is this person Luther Pompey? This surname is very rare, and 90% of people with this surname are from that family. Could he be one of them?"
"I don't care what family he comes from, as long as it's not a big family, then I can snatch him away. I'm curious now, didn't they flash five times in a row, why are there only four of them?"
"You can't say that. The origin of the Pompeii family is that powerful person who holds a bloodthirsty monster. Shouldn't we be concerned about whether his artifact is a bloodthirsty monster?"
"Didn't that powerful person disappear a long time ago? It's been thousands of years, how could a bloodthirsty monster suddenly appear? I think it might be some other magical weapon."
The big guys were whispering.
"Mr. Atana, there are so many competitors. Do you have any plan?"
The Lord of Xinia said with a somewhat sad face that he was also jealous of Luther, but there were too many competitors and he did not have much advantage.
The undead lich Mr. Atana had a mysterious smile on his face, but he said nothing.
To be honest, he was also surprised. Xingge and Britney were among the people participating in the war in the Undead City, and he had sent out the invitation letter personally, so how could he not know about it?
And Luther Pompey should have been brought in by these two people.
In other words, Luther, Pompeii and the Undead City have a natural connection.
"You're very popular." Xingge playfully poked Luther's soft spot with his elbow.
"I'll be more popular." Luther winked at Xingge.
"What are you planning to do?" Xingge was stunned. He finally remembered that this guy was not a quiet person. After the four people stood for a while, James and Oscar also came in. Soon after, a large number of "excellent people" came in.
However, the average value in previous years has always been over 100, and this year there are only 98, which is relatively small.
Some of these "excellent people" have backgrounds, such as Xingge and Britney, and some have no backgrounds, such as Luther and Miss Alice. Those with backgrounds need no further explanation, while those without backgrounds are the objects of competition among the major city lords.
A magic city of the "element furnace" level is equivalent to a space battleship, or even more powerful than a space battleship, because it can carry hundreds of thousands of people for space travel, jumping, and teleportation.
The magic city of "elemental furnace" level is the colonial blade of the wizarding kingdom.
But just like a battleship, it cannot have only a captain but no combatants. Even if a magic city at the level of "element furnace" has various interstellar magic cannons, magic cannons are sometimes useless without combatants.
Therefore, every magic city needs a considerable number of legends as combatants. The lifespan of a legend is as long as a thousand years, also known as the thousand-year combat force.
It is very difficult to become a legend. Each magic city needs to spend a lot of time, energy, and financial resources to cultivate legends. However, some adventures like the Phoenix Trial are a relatively cheap way.
It is quite cost-effective to discover some outstanding people with no background from the Phoenix Trial and use them as a thousand-year fighting force.
In short, there is a reason why these bigwigs are eyeing Luther, who holds the artifact. He is an "excellent person" and may also have the inheritance of the artifact, which is equivalent to buy one and get five free.
Luther also understood this truth, so he planned to do something.
Soon after, the statistics of the trial participants were completed, and the number of outstanding candidates remained fixed at "ninety-eight".
"First of all, thank you for participating in this Phoenix Trial and making contributions to the Wizarding Kingdom. The merit points you have earned will be very useful, please cherish them."
"Secondly, to thank you for your contribution, the Wizard Kingdom will prepare a meal for you. The meat dishes are made from monster meat, and the vegetarian dishes are made from medicinal herbs. They will be very beneficial to your body, so please be sure to eat as much as you can."
"But before we start eating, we will arrange your seats first. It will be a fair arrangement. Whoever has more merit points will sit in the first place."
City Lord, Knight Potala coughed lightly and then said.
As Mr. Potala finished speaking, the voice of the tower spirit rang out in the void.
"Please take the first seat, Mr. Luther Pompey." At the same time, a seat appeared in the hall. The city lord and the bigwigs sat at the end of the red carpet, and this seat was in front of them on the right, facing the left.
So it should be arranged symmetrically on both sides.
Luther smiled when he heard this. He had to take the spotlight. And it was justified. Just like what the city lord said, this calculation was very fair. Whoever had more merit points would sit in the first place.
"Looks like we have to sit at the very end." Xingge thought to himself, because the merit points of the three of them combined were only a pitiful less than 500.
Sweat! But just when Luther came to the seat and was about to sit down.
Some people were dissatisfied.
James, Schindler walked out. He looked at the big shots above him without any fear, because the leader of their Schindler family was on an equal footing with the big shots above him, and some of them were even old friends of their family.
"I don't accept it!" James said these three words word by word with a defiant look in his eyes.
I fucking don’t accept it!!!
