Infrastructure starts from the game

"...The contestants rushed out of the starting line. The first one is Liti, alas, what is she wearing?"

The host of the Cecilia TV live show made unprofessional noises.

She was unprofessional.

The Cecilia TV station itself has only just been established, and lacks experience in all aspects. Although it is going to learn from the TV station at Cecilia's side and invite experienced radio or theater troupes to act as the host, considering that the commentary of the event is a great magician Lord Storm, among the contestants is the princess of the East Realm who must not be ignored. In the end, the host of this show is the lady secretary of the city hall.

The secretary and hostess lady was very cautious because of this. After a few games, she became more proficient, but she was still inexperienced when encountering unexpected situations.

But Liti's dress was too unexpected.

"Isn't this dress too childish? Or, has she already given up the competition?" The host's voice was a bit sharp, "Master Storm, what do you think?"

Storm's expression became a little dignified.

Of course he knew what Liti's dress meant, but this great magician was not polite to the crown prince, let alone help a witch to cover up something - since the other party has dressed up like this, then she is ready to face everything Are you mentally prepared?

"No, this is not a proof of child's play," Storm said coldly, "This is a witch's costume."

"Does that mean...?" The host seemed a little overwhelmed.

The auditorium fell silent.

"Contestant Liti is a witch, and she now controls her flight entirely by the witch's method!" Storm concluded.

Accompanied by these words, there was a burst of booing from the audience.

Not only that, in addition to the audience at the scene, other people who were watching the game near the various live magic screens and TVs also booed together.

"That child is a witch?"

"It's so nonsense! How can you let the witch participate in the competition?"

"Why didn't I find out that this is a witch?"

"Disqualify her!"

"Burn her to death!"

Although the last radical opinion is rare, people's prejudice against witches is real.

In fact, it is not entirely prejudice.

Because of the powerful magic power perception ability, the witch is easily eroded and polluted by the magic energy. Since the first era, she has been forcibly purified by the gods as an "evil seed". After the gods fell, this situation has not improved. Why not It is said that because of the lack of objective judgment from the gods, some malicious people use this reason to commit violence against women, which makes the situation of witches worse.

Although this situation has improved slightly after industrialization due to the lack of labor force and the existence of "de-magicization" education, in fact people's prejudice against witches has not diminished, they just simply think that magic may not exist , so the witch does not exist anymore.

Now that Cecilia has begun to revive magic, the fear of witches has not come back for the time being, but if there is no clear teaching and guidance, this fear will eventually resurface one day.

For example now.

Although the host couldn't hear the booing from the audience, she obviously had the same idea as the audience, but she didn't immediately call out words like 'retirement' and 'burning'.

The host asked 'tactfully': "That is to say... is this a foul?!"

"It's not a foul, at least there is no such rule in the current game rules, not to mention that the times are different now, it's not that witches can't appear in front of people."

Storm is duplicity.

If you want to say that the group that is most prejudiced against witches is the mage.

In addition to the fact that witches are particularly prone to mental pollution and cause harm, one of the reasons is that witches have different perception systems for magic power. If it is, the magician will probably explode with anger, "Going to TM is also a kind of force, but you can use numerical calculations to show me?!" The most annoying thing is that there are really witches who can do it. Emotional and practical, it is really based on emotional calculations.

Therefore, many mages do not regard witches as human beings, but as magical animals.

It was only when Storm thought that Angel was hosting the game that he restrained himself.

After all, he didn't want to make Angel angry.

But he couldn't help 'commenting' and said: "However, when the competition is held in the future, is it possible to consider rejecting the witch contestants? I didn't deliberately compete against them, but the power of the witch is too unstable. Such a dangerous item It is not suitable to be placed in front of the public, especially when the air race is held during the peak period of the summer magic tide..."

"Magic tide? Is it dangerous?"

"Of course it's dangerous! Although ordinary people can't see it, we are usually in the ocean of magic power, and the two tides in winter and summer are like high tides in the sea. The magic power will set off the biggest waves and eddies, affecting all kinds of people. Magical creatures..."

"...Master Storm, do you mean that the magic tide is like the feeling in the sky?"

"Yes, that's what it is, but it's not high tide yet... Eh? Eh!"

Storm screamed, stood up, and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the sky is full of stars.

It was clearly noon, the time when the sun was at its highest in the day, but a dazzling sea of ​​stars appeared in the blue sky, and these stars were still surging like sea water, setting off waves and rolling downwards.

"What, what's going on?!"

Storm cried out.

At the same time, at a certain position in the auditorium of the arena, two alien races also looked up at the strange starry sky.

"What did you do?" Centaur asked.

It looked at the sea of ​​stars seriously, and felt its scalp go numb: "Even if you don't really want Cecilia to come back, it won't be so obvious, right?"

"No, it's not me..." The elf also panicked, "Although I have the ability to expand the scale of the magic tide to break the chain of stars, I will never do it so obviously!"

"Then what's going on?"

"I also want to know……"

"It's about time. The sky spring (magic power base station) has grown to a certain point. If it wants to rise to become the kingdom of heaven, it must absorb more magic power, so it will echo with the magic power tide."

"I see."

"So, Cecilia's heavenly kingdom also had this period..."

The elf and the centaur agreed, but they suddenly felt that something was wrong halfway, and suddenly turned their heads to look at the interlocutor, and found that a certain black robe from the magic gear was sitting on the seat behind them with a black cat in his arms.

This is scarier than seeing stars in broad daylight.

"Cecilia!" The aliens exclaimed.

The elf regained his composure and asked, "Is it really you who spied on us through a dream a few days ago?"

"What's that?" Angel felt the question was inexplicable.

He is not only busy with Cecilia's game recently, but he also has to prepare his real estate plan in Shesser. How can he have time to care about what these two alien races are doing? Even though he said that, he probably knows what the elves did. of.

because……

Angel made a fist-pumping motion: "Didn't I tell you not to do unnecessary things?"

"Woo!" the elf wailed.

She felt her heart was pinched by something, which was very painful.

In other words, half a year ago, when she arrived at Academy City with other alien races, because she felt that the black robe in front of her was suspicious, when she forced the other party to lead the way, she agreed to something, and thus had an "oral agreement".

Is that "oral agreement" still valid? !

The elf clutched his chest and thought in pain.

The centaur sighed: "Master Cecilia, just tell us what you want us to do! Even if there is no threat, we will obediently do it."

"Ah, I'm sorry," Angel let go of the hand holding the elf's heart after hearing what the horse said, and he apologized, "I'm also a little afraid of strangers, so I like to hold other people's handles before talking, this is a bad habit ,sorry."

Your "fear" is so terrible!

The centaur and elf complained in their hearts, but they didn't dare to resist the black robe.

Angel said: "Anyway, you seem to know that I want to open the road to the kingdom of heaven! So if you want to trouble the two of you, just like you adjust the tide of magic power to cause obstacles, can you also tell me the magic power? Where are the tides most vulnerable?"

Are we supposed to let Cecilia down ourselves?

The elf gritted his teeth: "...why do you have to connect to the road to the heavenly kingdom? If Cecilia is still in the heavenly kingdom, then who are you?"

"Great Magician Cecilia?" Angel said.

The elf and the centaur looked at each other, but showed strange expressions:

"lie!"

"If you're not Cecilia (Daughter of Enchantment), why did the 'golem' return the magic tower to you?!"

"Cecilia (Daughter of Enchantment) is the true owner of that 'Golem (Great Magician Cecilia)'!"

"He is the real great magician Cecilia."

"So, who are you?"

Leaving aside the negotiations between the alien race and Angel, this time the expanding tide of magic power inevitably had an impact on the game.

People saw the starry sky shaking and pouring down from above.

However, the tide of those stars did not overwhelm the people. Having considered this long ago, the magic power base station of Cecilia City, that is, the huge inverted banyan tree opened a huge defensive cover, covering the entire city.

Not only that, but the dandelion base stations in various places, the mushroom base stations in Academy City, and even the tulips in Shesser have all opened up similar defense covers. They are not so much defense as plants in the rain, absorbing it hungrily With the annual replenishment.

But this defensive cover deliberately opened a hole, exposing the players to the starry sky.

In the tide of magic power, a player was immediately engulfed by the tide and pushed off the track.

"...Ah, it seems to be a deliberate 'performance'!" Wizard Storm reacted, and he explained, "Now we can intuitively see the impact of the magic tide on the players."

"Rennie is flying in the front right now. His dodging skills are perfect! His movements are very dexterous! There is almost no magic power that can have an unnecessary effect on his flying broom!"

"The next player is Recifia! She opened a magic circle, two magic circles, three... oh my god, she used twelve magic circles in one go, showing extraordinary magic Array usage skills! And they are interlocking, very beautiful! Contestant Recifia seems to have enough spare energy, how many magic arrays does she have to guarantee the bottom line?!"

"It's a pity that little player Poirot originally had the same strategy as player Recifia, but considering the (money) difficulty of extracting these magic circles... Wait? What did little player Poirot come up with? The legendary The highest-level magic circle drawn by the taboo mage Avery! To be honest, I do not recommend this magic circle, because everyone has seen that this magic circle is very difficult to control, and it is so powerful that it is almost impossible to fly normally But Poirot used this magic circle to collide with the tide of magic power at this time, opening up a path like dividing the sea! Very whimsical use method! Very delicate performance!... But having said that, it is said that the little Poirot player The amount of krypton gold is strictly restricted by the guardian, right? With the limited money, he actually got the rarest magic circle. Compared with his use method, his luck is even more amazing!"

"It seems that it is still difficult to determine the final outcome for a while!"

Storm said excitedly.

Accompanied by this development, the halo of faith above the heads of the players on the magic screen became more eye-catching. Obviously, this sudden development made the audience anxious about the status of the players they supported, so they threw out a lot of blessing coupons to cheer the players .

However, some people did not forget Liti.

Although not in good faith, the host asked: "So, what about the witch?"

"You're talking about contestant Letty, it's the worst-case scenario for her," Storm asserted.

So the wind fairy in charge of the live broadcast gave Liti a shot.

People can see that the tide of magic power does not exist purely as a "natural phenomenon" like it is around other contestants, but is attracted by the witch, entangled Litty like a noose neck and limbs, and rushed towards her body.

Liti's expression became even paler from the pain.

And the audience who watched Liti's previous games had an impression of Liti's expression—even though they didn't see the magic tide in the previous few games, they had seen Liti's weakened appearance.

Some people's prejudice against witches has turned into sympathy:

"What a pitiful feeling."

"Is there no way to get this kid out of the game?"

"She deserves it! She shouldn't have participated in this competition in the first place!"

"I also think that the qualification review should be conducted next time, and the witch's qualification should be disqualified!"

Good intentions and malice were mixed together, but together they deprived the sympathetic object of all rights.

After all, compared to the troublesome matter of "how to let the witch fly safely in the magic tide", isn't the simple and rude "don't let the witch fly" much easier?

Letty doesn't know what the audience thinks, and doesn't care.

She was recalling what Allen said to her, "Don't reject the magic power, absorb it, don't think about repelling it, think about using it".

It's a very simple principle, but Liti has never done this before.

The identity of the witch cannot be revealed, so the witches can only cast their magic indirectly through various items, and rarely have the opportunity to directly use their bodies to cast their magic.

Letty wants to try it now.

Sensing the magic power, she took a deep breath, pulled the broom up suddenly, and rushed towards the tide of magic power closest to her. She immediately felt the surge of magic power pouring into her body, but she couldn't Thinking about how to resist these magical powers, after resisting them, these magical powers poured into Liti's body without hindrance.

In the middle of Liti's hair, under the skirt, and behind the broom, there are colorful radiances floating, these radiances formed a huge magic circle and emerged behind Liti——

"This way."

At this time, Enlis's voice sounded.

Liti raised her head in surprise, and saw Enlis and the other two sheep of the magic gear (negligible) holding flags and waving high above, guiding the props going forward.

She rushed in that direction without hesitation.

Of course, it wasn't just Liti who was heading in that direction, there were other contestants as well.

If the audience can see the direction of the power of faith, then they must be able to see a golden line formed on the halo representing the power of faith above the heads of most contestants, extending gracefully towards the sky full of stars in the daytime, like a Unseen hands are tugging at them.

And Enlis and the two sheep guided the golden line where the magic power was most vulnerable.

The brooms of the contestants drew huge magic power and charged in that direction.

Regarding this scene, the mages in front of the magic screen made worried voices:

"Can it really be done? Open the way to the kingdom of heaven."

"What are you talking about! The beacon of the power of faith is not obvious. Lord Angel also asked horses and elves to calculate that in addition to the weakest point of the magic tide, there is also the magic power provided by people. It is a bit unreasonable not to go up! "

"But I think those magic powers are a bit of a waste! After all, those contestants are ordinary people, and the magic power they can use is limited. Even if the most powerful one is the magic circle of Mrs. Avery, all the magic power must be directed upwards, breaking through the starry sky to form The passage is not that easy, is it?"

"Even so, it's the last thing to do now... Hey, what's that?"

"The tide of magic power is flowing backwards?!"

"No, it's a witch!"

"That witch led the magic tide!"

The mages widened their eyes, stopped talking, and watched the scene nervously.

On the other side, Wizard Storm's explanation continued.

Due to the camera, he did not continue to pay attention to Liti, who was considered to be a loser, but took it for granted that he was now at the top of the players:

"...Okay, we can see the end, the guides of the magic gear are waving the flag!"

"With the addition of twelve high-level magic circles just now, Contestant Recifia has surpassed Contestant Lani and flew to the first place, but Contestant Lani did not give up, he bit tightly, It put a huge pressure on Recifia, and Poirot followed closely behind, and he used his trump card! He pointed Oville's fire magic circle at the top, trying to force the two players in front to give up. Bit... wait! What's that?!"

"Rainbow? Magic Tides"

"No! It's Liti!"

"Oh my god, can the witch actually do this? She flew on top of the magic tide, leading the magic tide to fly upwards!"

"Other players get out of the way, too! If you stop in front, you will be swallowed by the tide!"

"Alright, now Liti is starting the final sprint, will she win?!"

The audience also held their breath and stared at the scene with wide-eyed eyes amidst Wizard Storm's explanation.

They saw the pale little girl flying upwards on a broom. Behind her, the rainbow-like trajectory formed by the magic tide stretched out like a road.

Because the scene was too gorgeous, most people forgot to cheer for the players they supported.

There were one or two noises that seemed a bit harsh: "Can the witch actually do this? Isn't it too unfair?"

"No! The design of the broomstick was originally made with reference to the witch's flying method. If you practice more, other players can do this too." I don't know who said in popular science.

"This is unfair. How many years has the witch been riding a broom, and how many years have other contestants been exposed to brooms..."

"Then why don't you say that other players have stronger physical strength, more money, and better luck?! Why only use other people's advantages to measure her weaknesses when deciding the outcome?!"

"Hey, you just said that witches are not suitable for competition, right?"

"Where did I say that something was inappropriate? Isn't Your Excellency Liti super strong now?!"

"Hey!"

Not only did the audience turn their backs, even the host couldn't help saying:

"I think Liti will definitely win!"

She couldn't help but say that when she saw other contestants chasing after her.

Yes, no one chooses to give up.

Although the players in front were forced to make way for Liti by the impact of the magic tide, they all smiled when they saw the Hongqiao-like trajectory passing by their side, and then their expressions became serious again.

The contestants exhausted their strength and rushed towards the final finish line——

"—Letty was the first to fly past the finish line!"

"And then little Poirot!"

"Following Recifia and Laney, we need to watch the replay again to determine who arrived first—ah, No.3 is Recifia!"

"But everyone at the scene didn't seem to be in the mood to pay attention to the competition. We saw that after Liti crossed the finish line, she didn't stop and rushed towards the sky."

"The three of Magic Gear are opening the way. Alas, their flying speed is also very fast! Especially the black one! It's even on par with Liti. It's a pity not to participate in the competition!"

"Under their guidance, the starry sky was knocked apart!"

"Unfortunately, our camera can only track this position, what will be above..."

Storm's explanation did not continue.

Because he was stunned by the upward camera.

In fact, it is only an instant when the magic power is guided to hit the sky, and it will not take long.

And in the gap between Storm's explanation, high above the sky, at the top of the hole that was forcibly blasted open by the magic power, there was a corner of a huge castle looming, exuding a bright light.

It's like a kingdom of God.
