Chapter 181 The Magic Trial Begins! As expected, an accident occurred

Moonlight, shadows, magic, the forces of all parties are surging.

Moreover, there might be some goddess who is willing to add fuel to the fire and seek death, and will intervene.

Yeats had a premonition that a storm was coming.

But as long as we guard the portal to the trial ground on the top floor of the Minerva Bell Tower, we won't give the cultists a chance to take advantage.

perhaps.

Ye Zhi accidentally planted a flag on himself again, stroking his chin, thinking:

"Whoever catches the fish of wisdom first in the trial ground will become Minerva's chosen one."

"Judging from the stories in the Salmon Rider Poetry Collection, the fish of wisdom can not only speak, but also provide assistance as a prophet."

"This fish of wisdom should be left by Minerva for the chosen one of magic, so as to indirectly help her chosen one."

If only the snowy owl could bring the fish of wisdom home.

Yeats did not intend to cook and eat the fish of wisdom.

That would be a real waste of resources.

Yes, you can, from time to time, roast the fish of wisdom over the fire like the Salmon Knight and extract some fish oil.

"The Salmon Knight can eat it, but I can't?"

Ye Zhi thought to himself: "We have set up an ambush. This wave will definitely not be a surprise attack!"

That day.

Under the guidance of Kendela, Snow Owl studied the fourth-level spell Ice Storm using the scrolls obtained as rewards from the first round of trials.

The results are remarkable.

But Ice Storm is a high-level spell after all.

No matter how outstanding the Snowy Owl's talent is, there is still a huge gap between the low level and the high level.

A fourth-ring strongman can fight against an entire city alone. The ice storm cast by a fourth-ring frost mage is enough to freeze an entire town.

It is worth mentioning that the restrictions set by Archmage Merlin restrict the mages from doing whatever they want.

Any wizard who breaks the ban will be labeled a wizard and hunted down by the Wizards Guild.

Sometimes, wizards will forcibly transform themselves into undead creatures such as liches in order to protect themselves.

The most famous lich is undoubtedly the Sanctuary Lich King 'Mordred' who once fought a great battle with Emperor Lorraine.

After the death of the Lich King, liches almost became extinct in this world.

Yeats complained secretly.

"Is the sword of this Lich King called Fire's Delight or Frostmourne?"

There is still one day left before the second round of trials begins.

During this period, Perron and June came to visit one after another.

Ye Zhi entrusted Perron with the task of finding the raw material of the Sea Swallow potion, the 'Thunder Bluff Purple Root'.

The red-robed elf readily agreed and said that he was planning to go to the Minotaur to collect folk songs.

Are you really serious about collecting folk songs?

Ye Zhi gossiped, "You broke up with the Transfiguration teacher?"

Perron sighed, "I loved it."

Yeats's face was full of black lines.

Who asked you this?

When June visited, she praised Snowy Owl for his performance in the first round of trials.

Then, she changed the subject.

"According to the rules of the trial, we can duel each other. When the second round begins, we will become opponents." June's mouth raised slightly, "However, I have a cooperation to discuss with you. Do you want to listen?"

"What kind of cooperation?"

"In the werewolf case, the Lannister family owes you a favor."

June still remembers clearly that if Yeats had not helped her in time, both she and Elsa would have been doomed.

"So, in the second round of trials, I will do my best to help your Snow Owl eliminate its opponents and become the chosen one."

June crossed her arms and said calmly, "As for me, I will give up if necessary, just to repay your favor."

Ye Zhi thought about it, agreed to June's suggestion of private cooperation, and asked:

"Don't you want to give it a try? As an arcane knight chosen by Minerva, he has greater potential than an ordinary knight."

"I want to." June said calmly, "But if I miss this chance to repay the favor, I don't know when the next chance will be."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay. You'll get used to it after a while."

June: “Hmm?”

Yeats understood June's character of paying her debts.

Her character was trustworthy, so Yeats took the initiative to share information about the Minerva puzzle.

June was surprised and asked, "You have solved the puzzle?"

She also got the clues to the puzzle last night, but got nothing. She never thought that Yeats not only solved it, but also generously shared it.

June was in a strange mood... This seemed to be a favor? Ye Zhi nodded and said, "The fish of wisdom will only appear when the moon rises, and you entered the trial site during the day. Therefore, you and Snow Owl must hurry up and defeat the other trialists as much as possible."

June's eyes were cold and he said with a grudge, "Then let's get rid of Peren first."

Yeats: “Ah?”

June smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. He is from the same school as us after all."

Ye Zhi: “…”

This murderous aura doesn't seem like a joke at all! The next day.

The trial of the Magic Goddess officially begins.

It was a clear spring day, the Jian River was crystal clear, the lawns on both sides were lush and green, and the branches and leaves of the trees on the shore cast mottled shadows, illuminating the boats on the river.

A small boat was rowing through the bridge hole. Yeats stood on the stone bridge and looked out at the towering Minerva Tower. On the top of the tower, a bronze statue of an owl was soaring with its wings spread.

Grey lay on the stone railing, her chin in her hand, overlooking the ripples in the center of the lake, her ponytail swaying gently in the warm breeze.

Yeats inexplicably thought of Xu Zhimo's famous quote:

I leaned against the moss on the stone railing to warm myself, and the moss cooled my heart.

"It's time to go to the clock tower." Ye Zhi said, "There are very few spectators for the second trial, only a few teachers and students from the two universities. After the birth of the Magic God's Chosen, the news will be announced to the outside world after a while."

"Will the Chosen One of Magic become the Holy Son of the Mage Guild?" Gray asked curiously.

Ye Zhi said in silence: "The Mage Guild doesn't have that kind of thing, but it will be protected and cultivated by the Mage Guild."

"Hilde is the chosen one of the Black Knights." Gray said, "I haven't seen the Blood Eagle Knights protect her."

Ye Zhi's eyes flickered as he looked up at the clear blue sky. The red-haired girl who was sometimes brave and sometimes gentle appeared before his eyes. He smiled and said:

"Because she wants to protect us."

After leaving Morningfrost Ridge, Hilde headed for the North and there was no news from her.

However, Ye Zhi guessed that when the news of the Magic God's Choice was announced, she would also receive it.

I don’t know where she is now, maybe in the vast snowfield or the barren Gobi Desert.

At least she had Sora by her side to fight the long night.

Yeats' thoughts drifted away, and the emotion of longing spread in his chest.

"I can protect you, too."

Gray grinned, "I'll find a few ancient dragons to kill later, and my strength will increase greatly!"

Infected by the optimists, Yeats also became optimistic and looked forward to it.

Gray successfully absorbed the dragon soul, and her strength increased dramatically! Damn it, is there any apostle in the world who can resist her!

*Minerva Bell Tower.

This mage tower rises high into the clouds, standing firmly in the center of the Mage College of Jianhe University.

The bell tower is made of gray stone bricks, exuding an ancient magical atmosphere. Yeats climbed up the spiral staircase inside the bell tower and saw ancient runes carved on the walls.

"Runes." Principal Fina's calm explanation came from behind Ye Zhi, "It is the oldest magical writing in the world, even older than the birth of Minerva."

"Older than Minerva?" Gray was surprised.

Principal Fina nodded and said, "Legend has it that the oldest rune stone fell from the top of the World Tree, and the runes carved on the rune stone are runes."

Yeats had seen similar runes before.

Right on the tip of the Wild Hunt's spear.

As Yeats recalled, a bronze door appeared before him.

Through this door, you will reach the top floor of the Minerva Tower.

At the deepest part of the top floor, there stands a portal. The space inside the portal flickers with blue light, rippling like water waves.

At the top of the portal, there is an ocean-blue gem inlaid, emitting brilliant light.

"As you can see, this is the spatial hub that connects Minerva's divine realm, the 'Water Source', and the material realm."

Fina said: "The portal will only open when the trial begins, and with the divine support of Minerva Sapphire, it will maintain the transmission channel between the two spaces."

Ye Zhi glanced at the 'Minerva Sapphire' on top of the portal... Gems are good carriers of divinity, and each god has his favorite gem.

On both sides of the portal, teachers and students from Taim River University have arrived.

Among the crowd, Ye Zhi unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

Princess Celine smiled and nodded to him.

Ye Zhi was a little surprised, but then he thought that Princess Celine must have come here specifically to guard against the Dark Night Sect.

Principal Edwin shook hands with Principal Fina, and then Kendra began to explain the precautions of this trial.

After entering the portal, you will be teleported to a random location in the water source.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

And at the water source, they can compete with each other.

Due to the existence of protective restrictions, once the protective restrictions on one party are triggered, the person will be automatically teleported out of the water source.

Therefore, there will be no casualties, and high-powered spells can be cast in duels.

"Please enter the portal one by one."

The white robed wizard stroked his beard and said, "Good luck to everyone."

In the center of the portal, a blue light shone brightly, covering the students.

Ye Zhi and others remained in the bell tower, and saw Candela waving his hand to condense a curtain of water.

Within the water curtain, the divine realm of Minerva appears: a water source covered with lush grass and abundant aquatic plants.

With the help of the water curtain, you can see the scenes worth noting in the trial.

This spell seems familiar.

The King of the Wild Hunt showed Yeats this skill.

In the picture.

A snowy owl stands at the top of a tree with a wide view and looks around.

There are wetlands on all sides, and a river meanders to the far end.

Immediately, the snowy owl spread its wings and flew to the source of the river.

Whoosh! A fireball flew towards him.

The Snowy Owl dodged lightly.

The scorching fireball missed the target and fell into the river, instantly causing the water surface to boil and bubble!

Charles was teleported to a position close to the snowy owl. Seeing the snowy owl flying under his nose, he took the lead in attacking.

Fireball is the representative spell of the mage profession, but it is actually quite difficult to master. The three-ring learning threshold alone makes it unattainable for a large number of mages.

As the head of the London Union Jack, he comes from a magic family and is a veteran among veterans.

Charles condensed a fireball in each of his hands and smiled grimly, apparently he was casting a spell with dual wielding!

There was a hint of recognition in Principal Edwin's eyes.

Although Charles has a proud temperament, he has the corresponding qualifications.

Casting two fireball spells at the same time was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary talent in fire magic! Charles was not in a hurry to throw the two fireballs at the same time, but first used a black light shot from the necklace on his chest to use this "slow spell" to slow down the flying speed of the snowy owl.

Then, a fireball thrown by Charles was offset by spell counter, and another fireball hit the wind wall.

boom!!

The three-ring wind wall was actually broken, and the violent explosion set off a gust of air, which shook the Snow Owl back! Charles took advantage of the victory and flew up.

It is not easy for a three-ring wizard to master the art of flying, and judging from Charles's skillful flying, it is obvious that he has been exposed to flying since he was a child with the help of his parents.

Huh~ While flying, Charles was also on high alert, and his cloak was burning with flames. This flaming cloak could provide a certain degree of protection.

The distance between Charles and the Snowy Owl was rapidly closing, and the fireball in his palm was burning fiercely.

However, the Snowy Owl was not in a hurry.

Charles couldn't help but feel alert.

Is this a trick?

So what if it's a fraud.

How could I lose to an owl?

Charles snorted coldly, waved his cloak, and the flames clinging to his robes wrapped around his arms.

The flames coiled like a fire snake, and finally gathered into the fireball in his palm.

Suddenly.

The fireball's momentum was even stronger! This was the spell combination that Charles was proud of. The huge fireball in his hand already had the momentum of a fourth-ring 'Melting Fire'!

However.

Charles had no time to be proud, as he could only hear the muffled thunder exploding above his head.

He looked up, his pupils contracting slightly.

Dark clouds loomed over Charles' head.

Among them, thunder was surging and lightning was flashing through the dark clouds.

Mages have high attack and low imitation, and Snow Owl's thunder summoning technique has been personally taught by Kendela.

Even a third-level spell can easily break Charles' defense!

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed.

A blue lightning bolt like a sharp sword cut through the sky and fell straight to the ground! Charles felt a fear in his soul.

The earth was shaking violently under the violent thunder.

The lightning suddenly swallowed Charles, stirring up dust and gravel!

Boom! Charles' face showed fear, and his eyes went dark! The protective ban was directly triggered.

When Charles came to his senses, he had been teleported out of the water source and back to Minerva's bell tower.

Fina and Edwin, the two principals looked back at Charles who was teleported out, and surprise flashed in their eyes.

Even Celine's eyes flickered slightly, and similar thoughts flashed through her mind.

Defeated so quickly? Charles' forehead was covered with cold sweat, his cheeks were pale, and his lips were trembling slightly... It was really weird, the power of this snowy owl's lightning technique was so amazing!

"Are you okay?" Principal Edwin asked with concern.

Charles blushed, stood still, and said nothing.

His heart was still shrouded in a shadow, and he was unable to get over the confrontation just now.

Yeats sighed.

Not only was he beaten red and warm, but he also became autistic!

In the trial ground, confrontations also broke out in other places.

In a valley, Roy MacLennan encountered June Lannister.

Although sailors have an advantage on the water, they are naturally inferior to knights on land.

As a result, Roy quickly lost the duel and became the second contestant to be eliminated.

In less than two hours, two contestants from Taim River University had been defeated. Even though President Edwin had a good demeanor, he couldn't help frowning.

However, good news soon came.

Heti eliminated Peren and preserved Taim River University's hope of competing for the Magic God's Choice.

Whoosh! A beam of light appeared in the bell tower.

Peren appeared in front of everyone with a calm face.

Ye Zhi looked at Perron, who had no trace of battle on his body, and asked in surprise: "How did you lose?"

"She is my book friend. She has read my book, 'Guide to the Customs of Different Races', and promised to write a review for my new book next time."

Perron shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then I abstained."

Ye Zhi: “…”

This is the second time Perun has missed the chance to be chosen by God.

Boy, you won’t really be chosen by the God of Love in the future, right?

Ye Zhi shook her head, her eyes fell on the scene in the water again, and she thought to herself, "Now, there are only three contestants left in the trial ground, and June has agreed to help Snow Owl."

"That is to say, as long as June and Snow Owl work together to defeat Heti, it will be a foregone conclusion that Snow Owl will become the chosen one of magic."

"The premise is that nothing unexpected happens..."
