The first game of Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown], there is no suspense, Anglin wins!
The order of the subsequent challenges is also arranged according to the seating order of the representatives of the four parties. After Elfaran challenges Netheril, it will be Netheril's turn to challenge Erlan.
After that, Erlan challenged Comanso, and finally Comanso challenged Ilfran.
This cycle continues until all forty contestants have competed, and the wins are calculated according to country, and the rankings are determined.
…
As the game continued, when Shado discovered that Master Cormanso challenged Master Ilfarang in such a harmonious manner, he immediately understood that the Northland Alliance had most likely already reached an agreement, or was reaching a key point, and it was not far from the conclusion.
Not far away.
Otherwise, even if Cormanso intends to compromise, as long as Ilfaran does not compromise, there is nothing he can do!
Based on previous speculations, Danzo is the party facing the greatest pressure from Zall. Perhaps both parties have compromised to achieve the current harmonious situation.
It's just that Ilfaran has too deep grudges against Comanso, or to be more precise towards Arivanda. Even though he has actually compromised, his attitude still hasn't changed much.
It's similar to the feeling of "even though I hate you, I have to cooperate with you."
…
Since it was all a harmonious exchange, Xia Duo no longer paid attention to the specific details of the battle, and just waited to see the records compiled by Niya after the game.
After all, there are not many opportunities to observe a demiplane that is deeply integrated with the Mystery when you are in the Mystery like you are now!
When he first entered the arena, he had already discovered and determined that the demiplane where the platform was located was an artificial demiplane with a very balanced elemental nature.
In addition to the new information about a new demiplane sample, what is more important is the evolution of the demiplane from its elemental roots to plane space.
Currently, Xia Duo is studying how to create a demiplane. Natural demiplanes such as the yellow sand demiplane can provide very limited functions, and it may be possible to study the essence of more planes.
But in terms of creating a demiplane, one artificial demiplane sample is more useful than ten natural demiplanes.
“It’s a pity that I can’t enter the platform space to see it in person!”
Although because of the special setting of the miniature magic network in the arena, all spectators can clearly see everything in the platform space, including the magic network environment and even the source of the plane.
But after all, there is still a layer of mystery, and I don’t know if there is any information filtering in the middle. It is far less detailed and in-depth than the information obtained from on-site investigation.
But no matter what, it’s better to have something to watch than nothing!
…
As noon approached, the game was not suspended and was still continuing. Xia Duo still maintained a focused state of observing the demiplane, and occasionally picked up a pen to write down some key information in his notes.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Niya's voice sounded in Sha Duo's ears.
Xia Duo looked up at the sky and knew that it was almost noon without checking the [Magic Hour]. He had been focusing on observation in the morning, but he was also thinking, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
Glancing at other areas of the auditorium, Xia Duo became even hungrier when he saw that people were already taking out food from dimensional bags or small packages around them and starting to enjoy it.
"I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first!"
Xia Duo took out the dry food from the dimensional bag, handed a portion to Niya, and then started eating by himself.
It's difficult to stay focused on high-level magic while eating. You can watch the game, but if you don't see all the details, the game is more like a trick, and it's not as interesting as watching the audience in the stadium.
Like last year, Xia Duo noticed the group of dwarves first this time. Except for the dwarf prince who was sitting at the first table, the other dwarves were all sitting together.
Almost all of them are wearing armor and carrying hammers. They are short and have no necks. They look like a wine barrel with a hammer hanging next to it. It is difficult not to attract attention!
However, compared to the dwarves who got drunk in the snow melting competition last year, these dwarves are much calmer this year.
Not only because of the presence of their prince, but also maybe the drow factor.
Under the cover of the big beard, it was difficult for Xia Duo to observe the specific expressions on the other person's face from a distance, but judging from their behavior, they seemed to be quite anxious.
Even the dwarf prince who behaved normally, Xia Duo felt that he seemed to have something on his mind.
Apart from the dwarves, the elves that attracted more attention in the venue were the elves. Compared to last year, there were too many elves this year.
Xia Duo did not count them one by one, but just took a rough inventory. There were at least five or six hundred of them. Apart from humans, the most numerous ones in the field were elves.
Compared with the elves, there are only more than ten dwarves, which is half the number last year!
This also seems to prove that the pressure underground is very high, and even a dozen dwarves are reluctant to come over to watch the game.
As for the elves, they have a large population, even if they are three to five hundred in the past, it is not a problem. The population of Erlan alone is not less than that of Netheril.
Not to mention, there are three elven kingdoms participating in this snow melting competition, in addition to Erlan, there are also Cormanthor and Elfarang.
If the event hadn't been held in Severton, perhaps humans would have been in the minority.
…
Xia Duo's eyes did not stay on the elves for long, and soon turned to the humans. However, this state did not last long. He always felt that something was wrong, so he turned his eyes to the elves again.
At first, Xia Duo thought it was because he paid too much attention to the elves and was too nervous, so he felt strange. But soon, he discovered that something was indeed wrong with the situation!
Most of the elves watched the game quietly, and occasionally communicated softly with their companions. This is not surprising. Humans are like this too.
But the problem is that Xia Duo found one among a group of elf mages wearing Yeerlan-style clothes who behaved abnormally.
In fact, if you look carefully, the elf mage behaves no differently from other elves, but Xia Duo just thinks he is abnormal.
And this judgment itself is very abnormal!
It’s more akin to intuition, inspiration, or, in other words, subconscious information that breaks through to the conscious level!
With such an anomaly, Xia Duo naturally had to trace the source. Using his memory tracing ability, he kept tracing back his memory to compare it with the current abnormal elf.
Soon, he discovered something unusual——
The elf's every move seemed casual and relaxed, but he was always on guard and could not relax at all.
If it was just like this, then that's it. Xia Duo wouldn't go back to his memories specifically for him.
In fact, this subconscious defensive state can be achieved by many elven swordsingers present. Many swordsingers even put one hand on the hilt of their swords from the moment they entered the arena, even while watching the game.
superior.
But the problem is, the elf's behavior actually contains vague drow characteristics!
