Lord of Arcane

Chapter 559 The dwarf player diamond crystal
Main plane, the tenth day of May.

Now that the snowmelt competition has progressed, there is only one last item left—[Magnificent Illusion] proposed by the elves. In a sense, it is not an arcane competition, but an art competition.

On this day, Xia Duo and Niya came to the arena early, and stayed in the [Plane of Annihilation] for an extra ten days. He always felt that the time has exceeded May. This feeling is somewhat similar to returning from the projection plane. That disorientation of time and space.

But no matter what the flow rate of time on other planes is, the time on the main plane always flows quietly as in the past.

As the number of spectators in the arena increased, members of the Seven Towers and foreign guests began to enter the arena one after another, and the arena filled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Huh——" Xia Duo suddenly looked at Niya, and Niya happened to look at him, both of them were full of surprise.

Xia Duo pointed to the little men who just came out of the teleportation circle, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Are those dwarves?"

In fact, he has seen the dwarf with his own eyes. It is in Savile Territory. There is an open-pit mine in the westernmost part of the territory. Now it should be the previous generation of lords, that is, the generation of Niya’s grandfather. Human gnome tribe, put there to mine.

So far, some lean iron ore and a small amount of broken gemstones can still be produced every year.

In addition, occasionally some gnomes will appear in the township in the form of commodities, the price is about 3 or 4 times that of human slaves, and they are basically bought by the town hall and sent to the mines in the west.

According to Xia Duo's understanding, in Netheril, anyone can arrest, trade, or even kill dwarfs without owners at will, just like wild vegetables in the field, no one cares about them.

But now, a group of dwarves came out of the teleportation circle majestically, and sat on the player's seat under the eyes of hundreds of Nether mages, and it was also the Nether player's seat.

Xia Duo had neither malice nor kindness towards the dwarf, but this abnormal phenomenon made him think about it.

Not only him, but the human mages in the arena may not have expected such a situation. Some people have already shouted to catch slaves, and the atmosphere in the arena is gradually becoming chaotic.

Several great arcanists appeared on the teleportation circle, and the chaotic scene suddenly became silent, followed by the dwarven hammer warrior and the elf's high mage, who also appeared one by one.

When everyone was seated one by one, El Carmon appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in the center of the arena. At this time, the demiplane in the center of the arena had been hidden, and a half-person-high rhombus appeared on the spot. crystal.

There is no external support, one of the longer tips is facing upwards and the other is facing downwards, just suspended there quietly, and the downward pointed tip seems to be dyed bright red by something.

But if you look closely, there is no color at all.

This diamond-shaped crystal appeared together with El Carmon. Perhaps seeing everyone's doubts, El Carmon said immediately:

"Today is the last item of the snowmelt competition [Magnificent Illusion]. The three participants must create the most spectacular or strange scenes, images, and events they can imagine. As for which side can win, it is entirely up to the present All audience!"

As he said that, El Carmon pointed to the diamond-shaped crystal that everyone was paying close attention to, and introduced: "This is the identification crystal provided by Comanso, and it has passed the test of the great arcanist, and it will be used as the basis for judging this competition."

How the audience decides, and how the diamond-shaped crystal judges, El Carmon did not explain clearly, but with the endorsement of the great arcanist, everyone can accept it.

However, Xia Duo was the first to think of the so-called emotional power, which is simply too easy to guess, he may need such power to awaken his own blood.

It's just that he called this power the power of faith before, and in this case, it's more appropriate to call it emotional power.

Then the order of the competition is very particular. In the final analysis, the so-called [Magnificent Illusion] is a performance. If the previous ones are not substandard, then you have already appreciated the previous ones, and then appreciate the latter ones, and it will be difficult to have any emotional fluctuations. .

On Earth, this situation may be called "aesthetic fatigue" or "nerve numbness", but in this magical world where emotions can be counted, it may be that human emotions are limited!
Although Nether Mage may not be able to immediately associate emotional power, it is still possible to tell who is ahead and who has the advantage in the game.

When El Carmon reported that the order of the competition was "Comanthor first, then Erlan, and finally Netheril", a group of dwarves who were originally suppressed by the appearance of the great arcanist sat on the player's bench. And the resulting dissatisfaction burst out immediately.

"Can those little things represent Netheril in battle?!"

"Magic is not a trick, do gnomes know what magic is?!"

"Send them to the mine!"

……

Xia Duo didn't make a sound, but, like the members of the Seven Towers, watched this farce-like scene with cold eyes. He felt that instead of targeting the dwarf, it would be better to shoot a fireball directly at the elf.

This at least allowed him to see a trace of blood.

Of course, if someone really did this, Xia Duo would still call him a fool.

It is not ruled out that there are really great arcanists who lack a string in their heads, but Xia Duo thinks that if he can reach the level of a great arcanist, at least he is not a fool. Although he wondered why Netheril was a dwarf player before, he was just puzzled , and did not question it.

In such a formal match, even [Plane of Annihilation] was used to increase the time. It wouldn't really be a group of gnomes who don't understand anything!

It must be these gnomes that made the great arcanists feel that using them is more likely to win than using humans.

Of course, Xia Duo is also dissatisfied with the order of the game, but this is not something he can decide. El Carmon can say that, it must be that the people above have negotiated.

……

On the high seat, Princess Shia also watched the audience's protest with cold eyes. She deliberately didn't stop it. On the one hand, she was dissatisfied with the strong demands of the elves. On the other hand, after the game ended, there might be more people Unacceptable result too!

Let the people below have some psychological preparation first, and it may not be so difficult to accept when it is announced later.

At this moment, Comanso held back a smile on behalf of Suweilis, and asked softly: "Your Highness, do you think today's game will continue?"

In his opinion, in a competition like [Grand Illusion], even if humans find a group of dwarf illusionists, even if those dwarf illusionists are quite talented in the field of illusion, they are absolutely impossible to be opponents of elves.

After all, the civilization background of the elves is far from comparable to that of the gnomes. If the elves hadn't stretched out their hands to fish them out of the mud, these little guys might still be mining in some darkened mine now!
"The game continues, and we are about to enjoy the majestic scenery of Comanso!"

Seeing the elf speak, Princess Shia replied, and then stopped the chaos in the arena.

The game started.
