According to the agreement, Baile responded half-true and half-falsely to Grand Duke Taran who sent him to investigate.

Although he was still a little suspicious, when he heard his subordinates' explanation that it was just a dark elves hired by Victor from the north, Fernandez temporarily gave up the idea of ​​carefully investigating Klein. He drew records from the Mercenary Guild and found out that Klein was indeed a mercenary, but the Duke still had a little concern about his clan surname.

In this regard, Bailer explained that it was born to dark elves and humans during the Civil War, and he discovered it only after investigating it.

Frostwolf's explanation is not very different from the truth, and Fernandez quickly accepted such investigation results. When he heard that his eldest son was going to deal with Ramde, he nodded and agreed to leak the information he had to Victor, who seemed to be trying to make a big move.

Since Fernandez had obtained the acquiescence of the Duke, the forces standing on the Duke's side immediately took action, collected information, arranged dates, and other series of things that Victor could not do were soon completed.

It took only two days until the Lich spoke out and wanted to duel with Amiye until the application was successful. During this period, Victor asked Baile to escort Elu to Mivela. He sent the girl away, one was to let her be hostage, and the other was to let Hawke and others concentrate on their work. It was always inconvenient to bring such a small trouble around him.

Although it takes years or even decades of research to be able to be sophisticated, it can be achieved quickly by only debugging simple healing agents. In just a few months, it can completely make up for the shortcomings of the mercenary group without healing roles.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the first day of the hot moon, Jing Yao's arena was filled with mages who were going to watch.

Because of the precedent with the evil mage Kelin, most of the people who come to watch believe that Amiye will win, and they regard Victor's challenge as a protest against their identity.

Victor in black robe stood alone in the circular arena, while Amiye was listening to the training beside Ramd.

"Although that kid is young, he is still a little talented. The guided duel against ordinary apprentices is not suitable for him. If you don't want to be embarrassed, don't give Wood any chance to win." Feeling that the fluctuations of the darkness are stronger than when they met last time, Ramd was a little worried. If Amiye loses this duel, not only will he be embarrassed, but he will be ridiculed by other elders.

Moreover, Jing Yao has clear regulations that if you surpass the apprentice of the tutor of the department in duel, you can directly advance to a higher level as long as you pass the review of the Elders Group.

How could the man's illegitimate son step on his apprentice's head and climb up? He would never allow such a situation...

Thinking of this, Ramd turned his eyes to Ke Lin, who was mixed in the crowd and watched the fun. He was wearing a red robe and was particularly conspicuous among the onlookers. No one dared to approach this for the mage who just said, "I am a bad person" on his face.

To be on the safe side, Ramde specially asked Kelin to drug Wood. The daily dose of the potion is small, not to mention himself, even after the examination may not be able to detect it.

"Amiye, don't say I won't help you. If you can't even win the advancement with only half of your magic, don't imagine that I will arrange for you to enter the Senate in the future."

Just as Amiye nodded, the bell of the game rang. The war department mentor walked down the arena with uneasiness and alertness. It was not that he was not confident, but that the young man in front of him gave him too much pressure. Putting aside his identity as an illegitimate child, the evil feeling that was exactly the same as Ke Lin made him feel inexplicably fearful.

After bowing and saluting, the two sides of the duel retreated to the edge of the venue. The entire arena suddenly quieted down and was waiting for their first confrontation.

As if to cut off the anxiety in his heart, Amiye waved his right hand, and the silver-white light spot condensed between his fingers pulled out a afterimage in the air. The concrete crystal shot out in a semicircular shape, locking the opponent within the attack range to the maximum extent. Just as the first strike was issued, Amiye began to chant a spell.

At a level like a great mage, ordinary spells can already be instantly or even silently. Amiye chose to use the ice cone technique because it is a third-level spell that even ordinary apprentices can use. Although the lethality is low, the speed is fast enough, and the spell range is also the main reason why he chose this spell. Whether it is protective barriers or casting and resolving, the opponent must spend time to deal with the first spell. After processing the ice cone technique, his second spell has been almost ready.

Things went on as Amiye thought, Victor opened a layer of protective barrier to resist the attack of the ice sinker.

"The elves of ice and snow, listen to my call, sow the seeds of sleep, and calm all things in the world." The sentences that sound like poems are the beginning of the seventh level spell. The translucent elves gradually increase with Amiye's spell from virtual to real, and their number gradually increases. They flew to the standing still Victor with laughter. Just when Amiye sighed and thought that his spell was successful, the elves who had originally followed his summons and came around the opponent and flew back.

"What, what's going on? Attack him! The enemy is there!" Facing the ice crystals that were smashed like raindrops, Amiye couldn't understand that the ice and snow summons he used happened to be the first type of spell advanced by the great mage. How could this happen? I have never heard of the elves backfire after casting the spell. The elemental fluctuations were very stable and there was no sign of a rampage.

"Back off?"

"I have never heard of a elves summoning backfire. In order to avoid this, I had an agreement with the big elves when I invented this spell."

The onlookers were talking and couldn't figure out what was wrong with Amiya's spell. The appearance of an elves means that the summoning was successful. In theory, they would not attack the summoner.

Ramd stood up from the stands with a "huh" and stared at the amphitheater below.

Not a backlash... That boy has higher elemental control power than Amiya. After sensing the gap between the two, the elemental elves who are extremely sensitive to magic choose to follow another criterion for summoning spells--to obey the domination of the person with the highest magic.

Doesn’t this mean that Victor Wood has a higher rank than Amiye? Bastard, he is a newly advanced mage and is an elective thunder system. No matter how you say that, it is impossible to have more powerful ice element control than Amiye of the ice system.

That guy Kelin definitely didn't give Wood a potion, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control Amiye's summoning spirits.

Ramd was very angry at the evil dog he was blessed with. Unfortunately, the duel had begun and could not stop halfway. He could only watch Amiye avoid the attack of the elves in the duel arena, and then was ridiculed by the onlookers.

"Don't lose your composure in front of everyone, Elder Ramd." A voice with a gloating tone came from the right. Ramd turned slightly and saw Chenow who had always been against him.

"I'm optimistic about this young man. Maybe he can become the first apprentice in Jingyao Academy to defeat his mentor in duel with the qualification to be on the sidelines. But... on the other hand, Amiye is too bad. He was foolish and was played around by the apprentice who was a little older than him. Look at his stupidity, how can he take on such an important position as a mentor."

"Please speak carefully, Elder Cheno." Ramd was not only angry, but also a little uneasy about his mortal enemy's courage to ridicule his disciples in public.

Just like he relies on Princess Notting, Cheno is standing on the side of Duke Mendel. Although he has been arguing over the years, he never embarrasses himself in public. Today, he dares to speak rudely, maybe he has been instructed by the Duke...

Thinking of this, Ramd's face turned even more ugly.

He did not receive the message that Duke Mendel was the instructor behind the duel, which does not mean that he has been abandoned by Princess Notting, who is invisible behind the scenes...

The onlookers were sure that they heard some strange sound. It was very vague. When they wanted to capture it, they could not listen carefully. A lingering sense of boredom filled people's hearts.

Amiye was surrounded by overwhelming laughter. Looking around, everyone onlookers had naked sarcasm on their faces. The comments seemed like lightning bolts into their ears, making his eyes turn black.

[Give up.]

The air was flowing, and the red afterimage of the tongue stick made even more exciting Amiye, who was already out of control. The war tutor didn't care whether he would violate the rules and screamed, like a crow crying in the dark. He stabbed his thigh with the tail of his staff, and then wrote an ancient magic secret on his forehead, chest, abdomen and back of his hands.

"Ha~ I was so angry that I even used the forbidden spells. I don't know what kind of punishment Master Peilu would give him afterwards." Cheno added fuel to the fire, making Ramd couldn't help but scold his disciples who were already crazy on the field.

Although there is no order prohibiting the practice of taboo art, it is contrary to the provisions of the Magic Association for the use in public. Any such spell is either extremely destructive or has serious side effects.

Once an inevitable mistake is caused, not only will the position of a mentor be lost, but it may even be kicked out of Jing Yao and be stamped with the mark of never hiring.

After shouting a few times, Amiye could no longer listen to his advice. Ramd raised his staff and was about to cast a spell to stop this duel that was no longer necessary, but an old voice gave instructions before him.

"stop."

"Master Pero?" Even Cheno was a little surprised. The dean never interfered in the judgment of duels.

"Let them compete." Pelo's calm face could not see joy or anger, and naturally he could not see what he was thinking at the moment.

"Yes..." Ramd lowered his staff, and the crowd suddenly exclaimed. He hurriedly turned around and saw Amiye using a higher summoning spell. An elf female phantom, more than ten meters tall, floated on top of his head, from head to toe, from hair to skin, was all silvery.

"The Great Elf of Ice and Snow..." This is a summoning of the superior. Amiye's rank is far from meeting the requirements of using this spell. If he is forced to summon... Ramd is calm on the surface, but in fact he is extremely anxious inside.

As Amiye's mentor, he knew very well how much his apprentice had, and he knew more about his personality. He would never do this. The forced summoning of superiors will not only be backfired by failure, but will also pay his life.

It's just an ordinary duel, there's no need to take your life. Amiye, what are you thinking? What I said is not that I'm going to kill you!

After spending twenty years together, it is a lie to say that he doesn't care at all. Although Ramd is selfish, he does not want to see Amiye die on the spot.

"Master Pero has already spoken, don't interfere, Elder Ramd." Cheno, who had been paying attention to his every move, reminded Ramd, who showed a look of unbearable expression, if he came forward to stop him, he would ignore the dean's order and would also be punished together.

"I bet on the big elves of ice and snow, I only want to defeat the enemy." Amiye did not care about the consequences of using spells beyond his level, nor did he care about the removal from the order that could lead to violations. He fell into a state of madness and was determined to defeat Victor.

Summoning the big elves, is this Amiye’s bottom line? It’s really not challenging...

Looking at Amiye who used his trump card in cold eyes, the lich did not even add a protective barrier this time. It waved its tongue stick and wrote words in the air that no one could understand. These mysterious red runes quickly disappeared into the air without any visible effect.

"Kill him...kill him..."

Amiye murmured to himself at Victor standing opposite him. The big elf above his head moved, slowly bent down, wrapped Amiye in a hugging posture, and opened his lips slightly.

"No..." No, no matter how slow the reaction was, Amiye realized that something was wrong.

The cold breath came with snowflakes. The big ice elves looked up and looked up. Their figure gradually faded and finally disappeared, leaving only an iceberg rising from the ground in the duel arena.

"Amiye!"

Ramd's eyes widened. His apprentice turned into an ice sculpture. Through the ice wall, you could vaguely see the terrified expression remaining on your face.

"The winner has been decided."

Pelo's voice pulled Ramde back from his anger to his sanity.

"I really can't tell that this young man has such strong abilities..." Cheno murmured to himself. Although he belonged to Duke Mendel's camp, he did not know that the young mage who was affiliated with Fernandez's illegitimate son had such ability.

Amiye's rank is a great wizard at least, and there is only one level gap with the magician. It is understandable that the spells completed by betting on life are still understood, but Victor Wood's resume clearly states how high-level wizards who have just left the apprentice stage can counter-control the summoning of the great elves that only the magician can use to freely use?

"Victor Wood comes up." Pero, who was the highest arbitration in duel, called Victor to the ceremony.

Walking to the stand where only the mentor is qualified to attend the seat, the lich bowed and paid tribute to the dean.

"I'm curious about your abilities." The great magician of Pero, whose eyes narrowed into slits, asked Victor how he could counter-control the great elf summoned by Amiye.

[A manuscript I accidentally discovered, which records a special method used by people in ancient times, even tongueless people like me can use power beyond their own.]

"Is it a technique?" As if he had known the special method Victor used, Pelo used a positive tone.

[yes.]

"Go back and write a report of ten thousand words, and I will present your promotion review in the Elders' Council next week." Pelo's words made Cheno and Ramde's expressions happy and angry.

Cheno was happy that Victor passed Pelo's affirmation so quickly, and with his approval, he was half successful in the promotion. Ramd was angry that not only lost Amiye, his loyal disciple, but also allowed Victor, who he tried to suppress, to upgrade smoothly.

[I don't want to be promoted to a great wizard.]

"What?" Everyone in the stands was shocked.

"Do you want to be promoted to a wizard directly?" Ramd angrily rebuked. This kid is so ambitious. It will take at least five to six years or even longer for an ordinary mage to be promoted from a high-level mage to a great mage. It only took him half a month, so what else would he not be satisfied?

[Jing Yao’s regulations are only allowed to advance, but he didn’t say that he must go to a higher level, right?]

"Indeed. So... Victor Wood, what position do you want to get?" Peiro thought for a while before asking.

"I want to be the guardian of the big library."

"Uh... that... I said Wood, haven't you read the rules? The guardian cannot serve as a mentor, which means you will always..." Cheno was about to persuade Victor to give up this strange idea, but was speechless by a passage written by the lich.

[The purpose of my coming here is neither to obtain a rank nor to stand out. I just want to further gain knowledge about spells. If not, as my evil mage, why would I have to squeeze into the neutral Jingyao?]

The ceremonial seat was silent, some people could not understand, some were skeptical, and some were secretly admired. After all, there were not many mages who were willing to give up for the promotion to the higher level forever in exchange for the status of a guardian. Although they could read more knowledge, they would also lose all worldly reputation and status.

The qualification for the Elders' House is a great wizard. Most mentors believe that the ultimate goal of the illegitimate son entering Jing Yao is the Magic Association. Unexpectedly, he aims at the large library, which is known as the most complete collection of books among the three major magic academies.

"Are you a guard..." Peilu pondered for a moment, but could not make a decision.

He couldn't ask some words in front of so many people, and I believe that the young mage standing in front of him could not answer.
To be continued...
