Chapter 189 Your spell is great, it's mine now
Mage Academy, Duel Tower.
The Gothic spire towers stand tall, where teachers and students of the academy can share experiences, trade, shop and duel with mages.
The duelists will use credits as stakes.
Credits can be used in this tower to purchase potions and scrolls, and can even be exchanged for tickets to watch duels.
At this moment, in the center of the duel arena on the top of the tower, a red-haired man in an embroidered robe stood on a wide circular platform.
Facing the cute snow-white owl that was dozing with its eyes squinted, the red-haired man cleared his throat and introduced himself: "Lutz Alaus, I am good at fire magic. I hope the God of Magic will choose you... Please teach me."
Lutz felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Most wizards were arrogant, and Lutz came from a magical family, so it was difficult for him to respect an owl.
But he had also learned that the qualification to be chosen by the God of Magic had been obtained by the owl in front of him, and he felt both envious and resentful.
Goddess Minerva really likes owls! Otherwise, why would she choose an owl over humans and let it be her agent in the world? Lutz is a senior student at the Mage Academy and a fourth-ring mage certified by the Mage Guild.
In the duel tower, I accidentally learned that Master Megan was looking for a suitable duel opponent for Snow Owl.
In his eyes, this was an opportunity to show off in front of important people.
If he won, he would become famous, so he accepted the commission.
Lutz once had an outstanding record of five consecutive victories, all of which were against mages of the same level, so he was very famous in the Duel Tower.
Once the news that he was going to duel with the newly chosen one of the magic gods was made public, it immediately caused a heated response throughout the academy.
Students spent their credits to buy tickets, filling the surrounding stands to the brim. Some students even skipped classes to watch the match.
After all, this was a duel between high-level mages, which was rarely seen on weekdays. The reputation of the Magic God Chosen was well-known, and this duel was destined to be of great learning value! "Are you worried about the result?" Megan turned her head and looked at Ye Zhi.
The viewing stand is located on the second floor, with a panoramic view of the duel venue: the circular platform paved with obsidian is glowing, and six tall marble columns stand around it. The columns are carved with glowing runes, forming a magical barrier to protect the spectators from the aftermath of the spell.
Ye Zhi looked up at the magnificent dome mural painted on the top of the Duel Tower and said immediately:
"I was actually wondering if I could ask Snowy Owl to come here to duel more often so I can earn credits from everyone with the tickets?"
The black-haired witch pushed aside the tuft of white hair on her forehead and laughed silently.
"That's a good business sense, but the credits for purchasing the tickets will be taken back by the school and will not be credited to Snowy Owl."
Ye Zhi was stunned, feeling that a way to get rich was blocked, and said regretfully: "Then we have no choice but to let Snow Owl end this battle as soon as possible."
"The Magic God's Choice cannot directly enhance the power of the soul." Megan taught, "Snowy Owl has just been promoted to the fourth ring, and the Lutz Alaus he is facing has been famous for a long time. You still have to make him take this test seriously."
Ye Zhi nodded and thought to himself, I plan to let Snow Owl use Minerva's blessing to end this duel.
This not only tests the power of the blessing, but also shows respect for Lutz!
Through the communication between the trainer and the pet, Ye Zhi told the Snowy Owl the battle plan.
"Gu!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Snow Owl flapped its wings and hovered above the duel arena. An aura of magic flowing around its body was no less than that of Lutz. It wore a single-sided pair of glasses and had a bright look in its eyes.
A mere fourth-ring mage, don't even think about disturbing my sleep! Buzz——
The six marble pillars surrounding the venue lit up with dazzling blue light at the same time, and the spectators in the viewing platform held their breath, waiting for the duel to begin! Lutz was experienced and immediately ignited a flame in his palm, burning a small firefly in his hand to ashes. With the help of this spell material, a bright flame shield enveloped Lutz's body.
Many high-level spells also require casting materials, just like Lutz's fourth-level 'Fire Shield'. This protective spell is both offensive and defensive, and when it is attacked, the shield will even burst into flames! But a big advantage of Warcraft over humans is that Warcraft has built-in magic organs, and many spells can be cast without casting materials!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Almost at the moment when Lutz's flame shield was formed, the Snow Owl flapped its wings, and three arcane missiles bombarded the flame shield one after another like guided missiles!
Boom! Smoke billowed from the field, and Lutz was surprised. The flame shield he was so proud of was cracked by this ring of magic, and flames continued to overflow from the cracks! Due to the existence of the [Ring Up] mechanism, the number of spell rings does not represent the power of the spell.
But Lutz discovered that the opponent had no upgrade ring at all, and was only relying on the most basic Arcane Missiles to attack him!
The uproar spread to the second floor of the viewing platform.
"Why is the power of this not quite the same as my Arcane Missiles?"
"Isn't it good at frost? Why did it switch to arcane magic?!"
A strange color flashed across Megan's eyes. She guessed the truth and asked Ye Zhi for confirmation: "Can the new talent awakened by the Snow Owl enhance the power of arcane spells?"
The arcane is all-encompassing. The schools of Transfiguration, Protection, and Conjuration all fall into the category of arcane, while frost and fire are also common spell categories.
Originally, Lutz was going to restrain Snow Owl in this duel, but Snow Owl suddenly showed amazing attainments in the arcane school, which caught everyone off guard! Ye Zhi smiled and nodded.
The talent "Arcane Wisdom" bestowed by the God of Magic not only enhances the power of spells, but also allows Snow Owl to make rapid progress in arcane practice.
On the duel field, Lutz's eyes were solemn. He used the smoke technique to release black smoke that covered the sky, and his figure was hidden in it.
Seeing this, the Snowy Owl flapped its wings to create a strong wind, trying to blow away the black smoke, but Lutz suddenly attacked, flashing to the blind spot when the Snowy Owl was casting a spell, and the long-awaited fireball exploded on the Snowy Owl! Boom! !
The Snow Owl flew away, leaving charred marks on its wings. Lutz took advantage of the victory and chanted the fireball spell again, but it was countered by the spell! In just a short round, the two sides fought fiercely, causing the audience to cheer.
Lutz is experienced and may even have a chance of defeating the Chosen One of Magic, but Snowy Owl is not inferior either, and spell counter is truly a magical skill in a civil war!
However, spell counter has a fatal weakness, which is that it cannot be released continuously.
"Gu!" With the Snow Owl as the center, a fierce arcane shock was set off, and even the field barrier was constantly flickering in this surging arcane frenzy! Lutz was secretly shocked, and became more and more convinced that the Snow Owl's attainments in arcane were extremely terrifying, but this was also the last chance!
Forcibly enduring the terrifying arcane shock, with a loud bang, Lutz's flame shield was directly shattered. Amidst the overflowing flames and thick smoke, a scorching flame spear slowly condensed into shape in Lutz's palm!
The room temperature gradually rose, the heat wave seemed to distort the air, and the audience in the stands showed expressions of surprise or excitement.
"Lutz's winning spell, Flame Spear Technique!"
"This is the fourth ring, the power is an order of magnitude higher than the Fireball!"
Flames surged in Lutz's palms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
However, Lutz saw the spell that the Snowy Owl was concentrating on, and he was stunned immediately, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
In front of the Snow Owl, raging flames gathered into a blazing flame spear, which was also the Flame Spear Technique!
Lutz's heart trembled slightly, and the rhythm of calling on magic power was interrupted. The snowy owl is a creature born in the snowfield. It is said that it has a poor affinity with fire, but it can use the same spell as me!
"Owl actually knows the Flame Spear Technique?"
There was an uproar from the stands.
"It seems to be even faster than Lutz's spell!"
Compared with human mages, Warcraft has a great advantage, that is, they have mana organs in their bodies. In many cases, they do not need the help of magic nets to cast spells, and their casting speed is naturally faster than that of humans.
The Snow Owl already had the talent of 'fast casting', and with the help of Minerva's blessing 'spell resonance', he instantly turned Lutz's flaming spear technique into his own use!
"Gu!" The Snowy Owl's eyes were sharp.
Your magic is great, but it's mine now! In the stands, Megan looked surprised.
With her keen eyesight, she could naturally tell that the Snowy Owl was the last to arrive.
In just a short moment, he understood the principle behind Lutz's Flame Spear Technique and used it with the help of his magical divinity!
Ye Zhi was filled with emotion and couldn't help but think of the lines from Hearthstone.
My magic will tear you into pieces!
The flame spear cut through the sky above the arena, and the heat wave surged, sweeping away the scorching hot wind, and hit Lutz first. His eyes were full of disbelief, and with a loud bang, the flames engulfed Lutz, and he was teleported out of the duel arena.
Standing outside the court, Lutz was covered in dust and his frustrated expression revealed a hint of despair.
"It was clearly my magic that it used!" Lutz was in tears.
The stands were completely silent, and in an instant, they fell into an uproar.
"Lutz is a strong player with five consecutive wins. Isn't this victory too easy?"
"This is the Magic God's Choice!"
"Baron Ye Zhi has really made a fortune... After all, he has a real four-ring strongman!"
Duke Thomas, who is currently in the limelight in the northern province, has a personal strength of only four rings.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
With a four-ring familiar who is a wizard favored by Minerva, Baron Yeats and his territory will become a force that cannot be ignored in the northern province!
In the stands, Elsa and June had heard the news and arrived early to watch the duel.
Seeing Snow Owl win easily, Elsa couldn't help but smile and said, "You should have made great progress in the trial, June... June?"
The short-haired beauty was absent-minded, glancing towards a corner of the stands.
Elsa followed her gaze and her cheeks suddenly turned slightly red.
He was a tall, elegant young man with silver hair, wearing an embroidered cloak, with a handsome profile and a gentle smile on his lips.
"You're right, June," Elsa said softly.
June came back to her senses and asked curiously, "Huh? Did I say anything?"
"You said, I have to cheer up." Elsa said seriously, "I can't let Mr. Yeats down. I have to become an excellent painter!"
June crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Then, you can use your father as a model. I believe this portrait will be appreciated!"
*Sunset and dusk.
Yeats and Megan took a carriage back to the riverside palace.
The snowy owl suffered some minor injuries, but has recovered under Ye Zhi's healing skills. It is now taking a nap in the magical pet plane, waiting for dinner.
"Snow Owl's improvement after his promotion exceeded my expectations." Megan smiled, "I have to say that you have a good eye for contracted magical pets, Ye Zhi."
Ye Zhi smiled slightly and thought to himself:
"The snow leopard is the sacred animal of the Goddess of Winter. It shouldn't be too much to be the chosen one of Winter God, right?"
"As for Kailya... in the future, strive for her to be the Chosen One of Death!"
"Snowy Owl is now a certified fourth-ring wizard of the Wizard Guild." Megan handed a diamond-encrusted magic book badge to Ye Zhi, "As a high-ring wizard, nobles below the viscount must salute Snowy Owl when they see it. This will still work even in the Divine Court Empire."
The Divine Court Empire spans the east and west of the Midgard continent. It is a behemoth with a huge territory. There are two capitals in the east and west, located in Tofanna and King's Landing respectively.
According to legend, the Shenting Empire was formed by the merger of the two major empires of the East and the West.
At that time, Lorraine, the lord of the Western Empire, married the Queen of the Eastern Empire and built the King's Landing, which was said to be impregnable.
Ye Zhi thanked him, took the badge, and began to think about his next plan.
The spring event in Phantom Wings, Walpurgis Night, takes place at Brocken Mountain in the middle of Golden Lion.
[Mistletoe] is related to whether he can lift the curse and return to the territory, while [Immortal Flower] can heal the scar on Hildre's face.
The goal of this trip to Jianhe University was exceeded. Not only did he get the spots of the Fish of Wisdom and the Chosen One of Magic, but he and the Snow Owl were also successfully promoted.
In addition, I believe that the friendships I have established with the Red and White Rose families and the Moonlight Church will come in handy one day.
Yeats decided to make Broken Hill his next stop.
"The Silver Oak Sword that the Goddess of Mist once mentioned may appear in Broken Mountain. It is at least an epic weapon of the same level as Pan's Flute."
Ye Zhi thought to himself, "I am preparing to be promoted to Sword Dance Poet, and I just need a suitable sword... I think this sword is meant for me!"
Outside the palace.
Yeats met Perron who came to visit him.
The elf's face was pale, his lips were purple, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Ye Zhi was shocked and said, "Perron? Why are you so haggard?"
Perron smiled weakly, "You'll recover after a little nourishment. Oh, this is the Thunder Bluff Purple Root you asked for. I brought it back for you."
Ye Zhi took the cloth bag from Perron's trembling hands and sighed in his heart.
What on earth have you been through these days?
"Is this the raw material for the [Haiyan Magic Potion]?"
Megan saw through Yeats's thoughts at a glance: "Are you planning to become a sword dancing poet?"
"I really can't hide it from you, Sister Megan." Ye Zhi flattered.
Megan raised her lips slightly and said, "Do you want me to find an alchemist for you? It is very difficult to make the petrel potion. If you are not careful, the materials will be scrapped. It is better to ask a professional to do it."
"No, I plan to cook it myself."
After saying that, Yeats walked towards the kitchen.
After taking ordinary magic potions, it takes some time to digest before they can be promoted.
However, with the help of food, the digestion speed can be greatly accelerated.
As a master food chef, Ye Zhi can learn from changing the recipe to change the formula of the Swallow Potion.
Ye Zhi had already outlined a complete and improved potion recipe in his mind.
It's just right to use Feitan's fish oil and Minerva Fountain to enhance the efficacy of [Haiyan Magic Potion]! Megan was stunned for a long while, and said in surprise:
"cooking?"
Don't tell me that the soup you cook can have the effect of magic potion!
