On the opposite platform, the two people who were dueling came from the pure white tower. The anxious battle situation as expected did not appear. The two just tried their hand, and the older Butler took the initiative to admit defeat.
"Todd, win!"
Then comes the final round. In this round, Chateau will compete with Todd for first place, while Navik will compete with Butler for third place.
But Shado was desperately trying to recall the details of the previous on-the-spot version of [Cycling Missile]. When Aibo called him, Shado took the initiative to admit defeat on the grounds that the spell was exhausted.
In fact, if you really let him go up, the result may still be the same. It is almost impossible to replicate the results of the previous round. In the last round, you had the intention of giving it a try, but now there is no need.
The second place is enough to compare, and what should be performed has been performed. As for the rewards and honors, they are all empty. The valuable ones are magic items. The top three have them, but they have different values.
But the gap between them is not big enough for Xia Duo to give up sorting out spells and try again.
Xia Duo's surrender seemed normal to all the mages, but the ordinary people onlookers might not agree with it. Some people booed, but no one around them responded, and then there was silence.
…
This time, in the last game of Savile's Arcane Competition, Navik and Butler competed for third place. This was completely different from the top two competing for first place.
The third place has magic items, but the fourth place does not. In addition to honor, the more important thing is the actual benefits. For example, in the last game, Butler just tried it out and surrendered. Wasn't it just for now?
It is not impossible for him to defeat Todd, but he cannot win quickly and may fall into a war of attrition. Once the war of attrition fails, he will lose the ability to cast spells and will be out of the top three.
It's better to just admit defeat and face the weaker Navik to stay in the top three. He's not like Shado, and he can't even compare to Navik.
The most depressing person at this time is Navik. If he had won the last game, he would have been in second place, but he just lost to a country mage.
Now, he had to compete with Butler for third place. They were both new mage in the Pure White Tower within the past year. How could Navik not know Butler?
Although the two of them were not under the same mentor, Butler was well-known, so Navik found it difficult this time!
The result was indeed as he expected, Butler easily defeated him.
When he thought that he and Kim had both lost at the hands of Shado, Navik really didn't know how to face his furious mentor when he returned, and he didn't know how to explain why they both lost to the country mage!
When he walked off the opposite platform, Navik couldn't help but look back at Xia Duo opposite, with a very resentful and complicated expression.
But at this time, Xia Duo had no intention of paying attention to the eyes of others. He had already taken out the notes he carried with him and was writing furiously!
Because it was in a public place, and the [circulating missile] that looked like a force field ball did have some merits, Xia Duo recorded it in secret for the first time.
Of course, since he has not yet begun to study more professional secret texts, he has temporarily used Pinyin instead, recording only the key elements of spell casting, and will supplement and experiment when he returns.
…
On the other side, when the arcane competition was over, Aibo returned to his seat, and it was not his turn to award the next awards.
Lord Epps stood up from his seat, and as he moved, the diamond-shaped platform that had previously raised from the ground slowly lowered.
"Everyone, the winners have been chosen - Todd, Chateau, Butler, cheer for them!"
None of the spellcasters moved, only the ordinary people watching cheered one after another. Lord Epps pressed down with one hand, and the crowd became quiet again.
At this time, Xia Duo has already recorded the key casting elements of that spell. As for a more complete one, first of all, it may not be correct, and secondly, the time and circumstance do not allow it.
When the lord spoke, Xia Duo hurriedly put away his notes, straightened his clothes, and sat upright. When the lord called his name, he immediately stepped out of the queue.
Afterwards, the crowd seemed to have rehearsed the cheers in advance, and it was quiet. He did not show any emotion at all. He just stood calmly in the field, looking straight ahead calmly.
Todd next to him was breathing a little quickly, while Butler was smiling happily, delighted with the prize he was about to receive.
Lord Epps took out an elegant and sparkling light green robe and handed it to Todd, "Mr. Todd, this is a trophy left by the ancestors - the elven protection robe, not afraid of swords, I hope you can
Have a smooth journey on the road to arcana!"
"Thank you, Master Savile!" Todd excitedly took the robe and put it on on the spot.
At this moment, Xia Duo looked at him a few more times. The robe was good, but the color was a bit off, especially when the hood was put up, it felt like——
Although I don’t know where my future wife will be, I must stay away from this color in advance.
"Xia Duo." The lord was able to tell the difference just by the title. He took out a black ring inlaid with silver patterns and handed it to Xia Duo:
"This is a concentration ring. I hope you will be cautious on the arcane path!"
Xia Duo felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that the lord was reminding him not to use uncontrollable spells rashly. Mu Yan also said similar words.
If it weren't for his good health and the lord, Aiboike might have rescued him, and he wouldn't be so hasty. Of course, Shado must accept the lord's reminder with an open mind.
"Thank you, Lord Lord."
Then it was Butler's turn. His prize was also a ring, but it was a ring that could release the 3rd level spell [Fireball].
Xia Duo is a little jealous. He can't see the effect of the concentration ring yet, but the fireball ring is definitely a big killer. Some mid-level mages may not know this spell!
However, since they are ranked second and third, it means that the fireball ring is not as good as the concentration ring in the eyes of the lords and even the archmages.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo feels much more balanced. Moreover, he has now come into contact with the second level of the magic network. Is he still far away from learning the [Fireball Technique]?
…
After the awards were given, Lord Epps was ready to let the three of them go back. Next, he had another important news to announce!
This is also the last highlight!
But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the representative of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Archmage Greta, "Lord Savile, wait a minute, I have something else to announce."
With that said, Archmage Greta stood up from her seat and came to the field.
Xia Duo looked at the Archmage who was getting closer and closer. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous. What the Archmage announced should be related to the three winners of the arcane competition, otherwise there would be no need to let them stay.
The Archmage's recruitment? Xia Duo doesn't think that he can really attract the Archmage's attention these days, but as a person, you always have to have some ideals.
Although he knew that the chances of recruiting him were slim, he couldn't help but start to daydream about it.
If the Archmage Greta is recruiting, does that mean she will fall in love with the princess? I heard that the princess is a Grand Arcanist. If she can really fall in love with a Grand Arcanist, that would be so beautiful!
