"Steven?" Vincent coughed slightly and called Steven's name.

"Huh?" Hearing Vincent calling him, Steven turned his head and glanced at the former, but his eyes were a little blank.

"What's wrong?" Steven asked.

"Are you okay, where is Steven? I feel like your expression doesn't look right." Vincent whispered, without disturbing Eriton who was still giving a passionate speech.

"Oh, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Steven nodded: "But I spent a lot of time and energy preparing for the competition, so I'm pretty tired."

Steven's reasons are impeccable, and he does appear to be a bit of a lethargic tired person. But with Vincent's eyesight, he always felt that something was not quite right. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically, as a gold-level mage, both his perception and his intuition told him that something seemed to be wrong.

However, Vincent did not tell the truth, but chose to remain silent. Steven's behavior made him feel strange. Because Vincent and Eriton had a good relationship, they kept in touch with each other a lot. After going back and forth, I naturally became familiar with Steven, Eriton's assistant.

Vincent still remembered that last semester, when Steven came to St. Lun College to help select players, his demeanor and facial expression were different, full of enthusiasm and vitality. All in all, Steven is a gentle and energetic person. Instead of being a little dazed like he is now, even if he said he was a little tired, such a big change should have happened.

However, these are actually not the most important. The most important thing is that Vincent felt an aura on Steven's body that made him uncomfortable.

"Vincent... is indeed the number one person in the magic world today. I didn't expect that he could detect my puppetry."

Behind Steven's eyes and in front of the crystal ball, the Demon Lord snorted coldly.

"The throne...this shouldn't have a big impact on our plan, right?" Augustus asked.

"I don't know either, but we are very likely to be ready to implement Plan B." Demon Lord said in a deep voice.

"Since Vincent has developed suspicions, you can't expect him to forget about it on his own."

"Then what should we do? Throne?" Augustus asked.

"We can't stay here anymore, we need to be closer to the game so that we can intervene at any time to ensure that the plan goes as planned..."

"..."

……

Eriton's speech lasted about an hour and a half, which was quite long. By the end of the story, he had dried up his saliva. It has to be said that Eriton is indeed not as good as Vincent when it comes to condensing his speech to a small amount of nonsense. Vincent rarely talks nonsense. He can condense a piece of content that would take an hour to finish into half an hour, thereby greatly improving efficiency.

"Okay, then let's look forward to the afternoon game together! Let us give our players a warm applause and look forward to their wonderful performance in the afternoon!!"

Finally, Eriton ended his speech with this sentence and was the first to applaud.

The students in the audience immediately applauded, and the entire auditorium was filled with overwhelming applause.

The opening speech was now over. Under the orderly command, the students left the auditorium one after another, then went to the restaurant to eat, and returned to the dormitory to rest. Everyone was looking forward to the afternoon. official final.

……

Soon, noon passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Sirius took a rare nap at noon on this day. Because he was the kind of person with relatively high energy, he usually took less naps. Today was a rare luxury.

After all, it is important to be energetic during the afternoon game, and more importantly, to relax your mind and adjust your state to the best.

It's almost time. A purpose-built competition venue for the finals is located next to the school. The student audience was entering the venue one after another at this time, and the number was very large. It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of people. Because students from the entire Parilton College are here, after all, the venue for the finals is designed to be relatively large, and there are many seats for the audience.

The audience seats in this viewing platform should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people, so even though all the students from Parilton College came to watch the game, the auditorium was not crowded at all. Not only is it not crowded, it can even be said to be a bit empty. Even if a student sits in two seats, it is still a lot.

As contestants, Lin Tianlang and Qiu Yue naturally did not need to crowd the gate with the audience. They have a special back door that leads to the backcourt, or waiting area, of the playing field. The two of them arrived quite late. The other players had already arrived. Lin Tianlang and Qiu Yue were almost the last ones to arrive.

In addition to the players, there is also the head referee in the waiting area who is already familiar to everyone, as well as several other referees, as well as some other teachers and various staff.

Everyone's faces were quite nervous. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the game, everyone was in a hurry and couldn't let anything slip.

"Okay, it seems everyone is here." The referee nodded to everyone: "Then the next game is the final. You all know the importance. I am only the referee, whoever loses wins. "Who is the champion and who is last has nothing to do with me. I am responsible for ensuring that you understand the rules of the game and that the game can proceed smoothly."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Yeah, I understand!" the players said in unison.

"Hey, Lin Tianlang." The referee read out the pre-match rules in front. They were some rules that everyone was already familiar with, but as usual, he still had to read them again. Taking advantage of the boredom at this time, Andy quietly came to Lin Tianlang's side and winked at him.

"Brother, this is the official final." Andy said easily, as if he completely regarded Sirius as a friend and did not regard him as a competitor or enemy at all.

"I feel a little nervous... What do you think the format of this game will be like?" Andy asked Lin Sirius.

"How do I know? The referee will tell you later." Lin Tianlang shrugged and said, "Also, we are rivals and enemies now. Even if you treat me as a buddy, I won't let you. "

"Hahahaha." Andy laughed: "Look what you said. Friendship first, competition second! There is no need to take this kind of thing so seriously."

"Besides..."

Andy looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Don't you think the venue for this game is a bit similar to a maze?"

"How did you tell?" Lin Tianlang raised his eyebrows and asked. Although Lin Tianlang wasn't that interested in Andy's approaching behavior, a little communication wouldn't do much, so he didn't reject him.

"Today's competition venue is very big, very big. Although it is still a little smaller than the maze, it is larger than the other 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and the last 'Escort the Golden Egg' venues." Andy said, His expression became serious, as if he was really helping Lin Tianlang analyze it.

"Well, so what?" Lin Tianlang nodded and motioned for Andy to continue.

"So I guess that this final should be the same as the one in the maze. All of our players acted together and competed together." Andy said: "So..."

Andy took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Forget it, I'll just tell you the truth. I actually want to come here to form an alliance. After all, our Parilton College has a good relationship with your Holy Lun College. After a while, During the game, we can take care of each other. I mean, if there is a chance to form an alliance, we won’t kill each other like we did in the maze.”

Andy looked very serious, and seemed to really hope that Lin Tianlang would adopt his suggestion.

Sirius stared at Andy and narrowed his eyes: "I'll think about it. However, if there is really a chance, I think this shouldn't be a bad idea."

"Haha, okay!" Andy smiled: "That's it, I wish you good luck!"

Andy returned to his partner Keith, and the referee just finished reading out the pre-game notes and began to formally introduce the rules of the game.

"This game is the final of our inter-school competition. The theme is called 'Keys and Doors'." The referee said calmly after quickly scanning the faces of each player.

"The competition venue is a simulated natural environment designed by the organizing committee. In the center of the venue, there is an altar. There are three organs hidden in the altar, corresponding to the championship trophy, runner-up trophy and third-place trophy respectively. "

"Each mechanism is actually a door that needs a key to open. These keys are scattered throughout the competition field and you need to find them by yourself. The keys you find can be used to open the altar mechanism to obtain the trophy. But there are a few things that need to be noted.”

"There are three types of keys, gold keys, silver keys and copper keys, which correspond to the mechanisms that open the championship trophy, the runner-up trophy and the third-place trophy respectively. Among them, 5 gold keys are needed to open the championship cup, and 4 are needed to open the runner-up cup. A silver key, and 3 bronze keys are needed to open the third place cup.”

"And in the competition venue, there are a total of 5 gold keys, 8 silver keys and 12 bronze keys..."
