I'm not a magician

Three pieces of epic equipment!This is also a grand scene that is rarely seen in previous competitions.

Although those who can participate in the competition are the top equipment masters in the mainland, even holy equipment masters cannot guarantee that they can refine [epic] equipment every time.

After all, even in the game, refining equipment has a success rate, not to mention the reality, a small mistake will lead to the scrapping of precious materials.

There was already a commotion in the stands, and the aristocratic lords and wives in the front row couldn't help but stand up, and the hats with gorgeous feathers on their heads crowded together to add a touch of color to the arena.

They stared at the three purple lights with burning eyes, and the salivation in their eyes was so thick that it almost flowed out.

"This year is really a bumper year, isn't it?" On the judging platform, a lady wearing a wide-brimmed top hat and a golden dress took a sip of the long pipe in her hand, squinting and exhaling the lingering smoke, "Three It’s a big meal, the duke can’t eat it alone, right? You should give some to us small fish and shrimps, right?”

The Duke, who was not far away from her, twitched his beard and smiled: "It sounds like I'm too much, Marquise, I still follow the etiquette, and I only sell desserts that I am interested in."

His gaze wandered among the three teams calmly.

[Epic] The gimmick of quality sounds bluffing, but the judges and nobles present are not fools, they pay more attention to the effect of the equipment itself.In many cases, practical low-quality equipment is often more popular than flashy high-quality equipment.

William spent the rest of the time cleaning off the carbon dust on his face, and he didn't care about the clothes if he couldn't clean them off. All his mind is now on the other two dazzling purple lights.

His face has been very ugly since Ji Chi's purple light was on, he couldn't figure out how they changed the design drawing, and they were able to make it successfully, even with such high quality!

Forget about Ji Chi, what happened to the other team?How did an equipment master who had never heard of it suddenly become an epic equipment? !

"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" The dwarf instrument technician next to William watched William's changing face with great interest, and asked gently, "Are you so unconfident in our masterpiece?"

William came back to his senses and looked back at the workbench. The corners of his eyes twitched violently at first, but his tense body gradually relaxed. He smiled with difficulty: "Of course not... the masterpiece we refined will be able to lead The empire has broken through the predicament! But... Maybe I can design its appearance during the third selection?"

The young dwarf put away his smile and looked back puzzledly: "Does the appearance need to be changed? Isn't this pretty?"

The corners of William's mouth were stiff: what? !Are you blind or am I deaf?Can such a ghost thing be called pretty? !

The young dwarf seemed to understand something. He looked towards the south side of the arena one after another, frowned, and muttered softly: "Could it be that way to look good? Cut, there is no personality at all, ordinary people just don't understand art..."

In order to complete the last step of suit assembly, Chloe consumed more energy in two hours than in the past two months. She dawdled to the workbench, and while no one was looking, she fumbled out of the pile of redundant materials. A magic crystal half the size of a fist was quickly stuffed into his mouth, with one cheek bulging expressionlessly.

Seeing that the closing bell hadn't rung, Linton simply cleaned up the messy table, and soon he let out a surprise: "Why is there one magic crystal missing? There should be five yuan left..."

He rummaged around, bending over and lying on the ground to search.

Seeing that they were about to search around Chloe, Ji Chi and Bud noticed at the same time, and said at the same time: "I put it away."

The two were silent for a while, and said at the same time: "Oh, he put it away."

Linton raised his head, looked at them suspiciously, and muttered something strange in his mouth without further questioning.

Behind him, Chloe gulped down the last mouthful of magic crystal powder, sighed contentedly, and her gloomy eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

"Dangdangdangdang——" the ending bell finally rang, the light of the still magic circle flickered, and all the equipment masters were frozen in place, unable to continue unnecessary actions.

Ji Chi was immune to this kind of magic circle, but he didn't move around. He just leaned against the table, waiting for the apprentices in uniform to carefully pack the equipment on the workbench into a magic box and take it away.

The second selection trial is about to begin, and the equipment engineers who have lifted the ban are still standing on the arena, looking nervously at the judging platform above.

The judging table is a trapezoidal table floating in front of the arena. A scarlet carpet printed with golden patterns covers the entire table. Forty-nine dignified and decent equipment masters sit on it, including famous equipment masters in the mainland, and some senior Aristocrats of weight.

In the following time, they will select the ten most outstanding works from the magic box that floats up, and they will be selected as the excellent racehorses for the third selection.

Magic boxes flew past the judging stand one by one, flashing with various lights. Most of them were blue lights that symbolized [excellent] quality, and some of them were green lights that were of [excellent] quality. The judges didn't even look at the effect, they quickly crossed them away, and eliminated them without hesitation.

After an unknown number of pitiful laments sounded in the arena, a box emitting purple light was slowly opened in front of the judges.

Everyone on and off the stage held their breath, their burning eyes fixed on the brown fir magic box.

A silver cross with a height of one person gradually emerged from the magic box, appearing in front of the equipment reviewer.

The Marquise gracefully supported the wide-brimmed top hat on her head, and looked curiously at the bright and holy silver torture frame: "Which masters are these works? Can you explain to us?"

"Marquis, of course!" In the corner of the arena opposite Ji Chiyao, a few unremarkable equipment technicians raised their heads and walked out, and replied loudly, with a bit of excitement in their tone.

There were good-natured laughter from the equipment technicians on the judging platform, obviously understanding their excitement at this time. The Marquise also smiled, and her scarlet lips made the neat teeth even more white.

"This device is called [Judgment Rack]. It can be regarded as a weapon or a torture device."

"Oh?" The Marquise leaned forward slightly, looking very interested, "Does it have any punishment effect?"

The contestant grinned and said in a high voice: "It can follow the sinner according to the master's wishes, and the cross will pass through the sinner's neck vertically through her body..."

"Sinners who are punished like this often have to struggle in extreme pain for several days before they can cleanse themselves of their sins." The contestants stared straight at the Marquis, with a shuddering chill.

Such instruments of torture were too cruel. Except for some nobles who used to torture civilian slaves, the rest of the people couldn't help but shudder, and raised their hands to touch their own necks empathetically.

Bud frowned when he heard this, and cursed in a low voice: "Ridiculous!"

Ji Chi's eyes darkened, he slowly stood up straight, did not continue to look at the judging stand, but searched the stands calmly.

"Hehehe! It's really interesting!" The Marquise suddenly covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes lingering obsessively on the silver cross, "Guilty people really need to be deterred and punished, I like it very much!"

She said, without hesitation, with a bright red quill, dotted seven stars on the parchment, which is the highest scoring standard in the review.

After she finished scoring, the rest of the judges also wrote down their pens one after another. Some of them were very resistant to such a torture device, but because of its rare [Epic] quality, the tracking attack method is also very practical, so Also hesitated to give a high score.

The equipment masters who made the torture frame didn't seem to see the tangled expressions of the judges, but looked at the cross with satisfaction, as if they were looking forward to a bright future.

"Hey——" William chuckled disdainfully in the center of the arena, "I thought it would be so powerful, that's it? Isn't this too useless?"

The young dwarf beside him had lost his warm and gentle smile at some point. He moved his nose, sighed and shook his head: "Resistance, blood, brutality...Humans really can't live without these things..."

The [Epic] equipment that appeared for the first time stayed on the stage for a long time. After it flew down slowly in the magic box, everyone was sure that it would definitely appear in the third selection.

The next [Epic] box appeared not long after. The moment the purple light escaped, the entire arena was buzzing with discussions, and the spectators were all guessing the attributes of this equipment.

Soon, a slightly distorted figure floated out of the box, scaring the judges who were close.

"Hey! What is it!" The old equipment master at the front almost threw the teacup in his hand, rubbing his chest with a look of bewilderment.

It was an extremely ugly doll. On the big head, the parts were scattered to form strange facial features. The limbs were slender and thin, hanging dangling on both sides of the deformed body. It hadn't put on the clothes that fit it. Just like that, with his sharp and deformed body exposed, he looked forward with a distorted smile.

Ji Chi withdrew his eyes from the stands, with an imperceptible disappointment, his eyes fell on the puppet in the judging stand inadvertently, froze for a moment, then turned his head suddenly to look in the direction of William's team.

He looked at the right time, just in time for the young dwarf to turn his head.

The young dwarf's reaction to the judges was very unpleasant. He originally wanted to look back to observe the expressions of the others, but unexpectedly, he met a special little guy at a glance.

Black hair and black eyes are hard to find here.

The dwarf raised his eyebrows, and was about to smile at him, but suddenly sensed a familiar aura, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at him fixedly.

Bud muttered to himself what kind of underworld thing this year is. This is a new word he and Ji Chi learned. Thinking of this, he really wanted to talk to Ji Chi about how much hell there is, and by doing so, he found that he was staring straight at him. in one direction.

Bud also looked there and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Chi looked away silently, looked at Bud with a very strange look, and shook his head.

I'm afraid that if you speak out, you will rush to beat him if you have a bad temper.Ji Chi thought silently in his heart.

While several people were restless, William's cadenced royal aria rang out: "This is a special puppet. With it, a magician can also be a summoner!"

"Huh? How do you say it?" The judges immediately became interested, ignoring the hideously ugly appearance of the doll for a moment, and looked at it with interest.

William took a step forward and smiled triumphantly: "Because it can be driven by magic power, its solid body and flexible actions make it no different from normal people, or even better, but it can unconditionally obey the orders of its master. The name I named it is ——Xinmin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the others hadn't reacted yet, they just felt that the name was a bit strange.

The king was the first to understand what William meant. He held the scepter tightly, his eyes glowed with burning light, and he couldn't help laughing out loud: "My son! My excellent son! He can do this! He is truly an empire! gems!"

Those around the king soon realized—new people, new people, replacing the old with the new.

With such obedient and capable new people, those rebellious, disloyal, wanton civilians and slaves will lose their only remaining role-the basic work will be taken care of by the new people, and the disobedient old people will be ruthlessly eliminated, just like It's the same as getting rid of useless things.

More and more people took notice, and there was a cheery cheer from the arena.

Of course, there are also some people who are born as civilians with ugly faces. They know that once such equipment is popularized, the lives of civilians will become more and more difficult in the future, and talented people may not live to adulthood...

But they can't control this kind of development. The noble equipment masters on the judging table have already shown pleasant smiles, and they are writing quickly and neatly. If there is no accident, this equipment will be placed in the most eye-catching place after this competition. , Derivative devices based on it will be spread all over the continent, and the transformation of the old from the new is about to kick off.

Amidst the cheers of the nobles, the next piece of equipment was like a saw, reducing the previous joyful atmosphere to freezing point, and the huge arena was dead silent.

Ji Chi looked at the simple and smooth silver suit on the stage, took a step slowly, and introduced: "Well, you can do a lot of things by wearing this suit... For example, let an ordinary person who knows nothing become a full-time magician." division."

He looked at the nobles on the stage whose expression suddenly changed, and smiled mockingly: "Even if he is a commoner, or even a slave."
