Lord of Arcane

When the elder moon elf mage mentioned the wonderful thing, he immediately grabbed the wine bottle on the table, and Gululu gave himself a sip. However, his frivolous look made his companions at the table dissatisfied:

"Hey, hey, hey, pay attention to your image outside, don't lose the face of our institute! Besides, don't we know your usual level? If it weren't for the addition of the computing power pool, you would probably look as confused as the kid next to you Got it!"

"Okay, okay, don't expose me, it's me, Meng Lang. I'll treat you to a drink of Dream Blue later. The next game is about to start. Let's watch the game first."

Dream Blue is a specialty of Salvin and has rarely been exported abroad. However, the Evergreen Club also has channels to obtain it, but the price is enough to scare away a large number of mages.

Hearing Meng Zhilan's name, several companions at the same table immediately stopped cheering. Of course, the next game was about to start, which was also one of the reasons.

……

In addition to the Evergreen Club, Evereska also has two snow-melting competition broadcast points, one is at the Taltat Swordsmanship Academy in the south of the city, and the other is in a square in the city, corresponding to the upper and lower classes of Evereska. audience.

The Evergreen Club is almost in between the two. It is one of the mage clubs most visited by many societies in Evereska City, and many nobles have gone there.

But no matter which broadcast point, the broadcast projection was surrounded by elves and a few dwarves. The mages were mostly attracted by the arcane competition itself, while the mages came more to watch the fun.

The attribute of watching the excitement has never been exclusive to humans. It should be said that as long as there are intelligent creatures, there is no shortage of the attribute of watching the excitement.

After the number of users accessing the main network of the computing power pool increased to a certain level and stabilized, Shado was entrusted by the Severington Council to inspect the three broadcast points in Everesca.

All of these are ticketed, even the broadcast point in the square is no exception, but the ticket price is cheaper than the other two.

Since the money has been collected, there must be no problems in the broadcast. The Severington Council actually has a dedicated person in charge of this, but broadcast failures have already occurred in other cities. Although they were solved quickly, It will inevitably have some bad effects.

On Everesca's side, there was Sha Duo's incarnation, and he came over to check it out while he was not busy. This inspection really made him discover the problem. It turned out that the broadcast equipment was "aging".

Or to put it another way, the mithril components in the broadcast equipment have undergone elemental transmutation reactions due to long-term use, which reduces the energy-conducting efficiency of the components, thereby reducing the actual service life of the equipment.

In this case, of course it is impossible to repair it on site and you can only replace it with a new one.

Fortunately, although the equipment on Everesca's side is aging, it has not deteriorated yet. It is not a problem to survive today, and it will be no problem to use new equipment tomorrow.

After all, this is my first time doing broadcasting, and I don’t have much experience in parliament, but I think next year there won’t be such a problem again.

……

Sevington.

It is now the fifth day of the snow melting competition. During this period, Shado has returned to the territory several times, but most of the time he and Niya are here watching the competition.

Although it is the fifth day, the competition has only reached the second event, which is the most orthodox spell showdown. The arcane puzzle is the first event, and it has all ended.

Netheril achieved second place, but if you take into account that Arcane Puzzle was originally born in Netheril and was trained by Shado in terms of chess skills (the first time it appeared), Not taking first place was a bit disappointing.

As for spell duel, this has always been a strong event for the elves in the past, but Netheril is not bad in this aspect, catching up very quickly. In recent years, it has never fallen out of the top three in this event. There are currently four events in the Snow Melting Competition. In addition to Arcane Puzzle and Spell Showdown, the remaining two are Grand Illusion and Labyrinth Treasure Hunt.

Judging from the number of people in a single game, the first two events can actually be divided into individual competitions, and the last two are naturally team competitions.

And the latter two projects were proposed by the Elf Nation, and then joined the competition with the consent of Netheril. The Grand Illusion was added at the same time as the Arcane Puzzle. They were both added in Erlan to introduce Cormanthor, which will melt the snow. The time when the competition changed from a duel between two countries to a melee among three countries.

The Labyrinth Treasure Hunt was proposed by Ilfaran after the Northland Alliance was established and other countries in the alliance were widely invited to join, and was finally recognized.

Currently, Master Nese's performance in this new project is not very satisfactory. After all, this is also a traditional project of elves. If humans want to catch up, they will not be able to catch up in just a few sessions.

In addition to the time factor, Master Nese's more "independence" is also the main reason for the unsatisfactory results.

The so-called "maze treasure hunting" means that the two sides are randomly put into the maze. As long as anyone on one side gets the "treasure" in the center of the maze, that side can win.

It is said to be random, but in fact, no matter how the players are placed, it is impossible to directly put the players into the center of the maze, because there must be a "taking" process, which is also the main attraction of this project.

Generally speaking, the process of treasure hunting in the maze is mainly divided into three stages - first gathering companions, then assigning tasks to explore the maze, and finally heading to the center of the maze.

It is possible to encounter an opponent in any of the three stages.

Therefore, experience and cooperation are very important. Unfortunately, humans are far inferior to elves in this regard.

In fact, this project has always been considered in the elven world as a rehearsal for group combat during the war, so it is very popular. Sha Duo has personally participated in the Green Field War and experienced the cooperation of elves personally.

In this regard, humans are indeed inferior to elves.

Even if there is Lingsi Network to assist cheating, not all Nese mages can actually accept this. Now, even elves can use Lingsi Network, so their cooperation will be even more tacit.

As for the Grand Illusion, on the surface it is indeed a team event, but in essence it is just an exhibition competition. Players from all over the world will preview and rehearse before the competition, and the final score is mixed with too many subjective factors.

Unlike the other three projects, there are very clear criteria for winning and losing, but it is not difficult for a person with normal thinking to make a judgment.

The grand illusion shows the grandeur of the illusion, but there is no clear standard for what grandeur is. It is all decided by the on-site referee and the audience.

This is actually to cater to the referee and the audience. It is difficult to directly reflect the level of illusion between both parties. Off-field factors account for too much.

Xia Duo speculated that even if this project is retained in next year's snowmelt competition, it may not be used to distribute the income of the Huifeng Mountains. If this method is used, whoever loses will feel dissatisfied.

……

Just as Shado and Niya were chatting without a word, a new duel began. This one was Netheril versus Evriska. Both the Netherese mage was on the field and the opponent was not. It’s not too much, but it’s still somewhat interesting.

In this way, Xia Duo and Niya couldn't help but silence themselves and quietly waited for the duel to begin.
