116. Official start
Adam listened to the conversation between the two mages with ignorance, and suddenly the slightly noisy hall became silent. All the official mages saluted to the high platform and left the hall without saying a word.
Adam looked up and found a female mage walking in front of her. She had no words or expressions. The ether, magic, and elements surrounded her orderly, forming a special energy field. Adam only felt that the mage was very harmonious.
She raised her hand and pointed behind her, and a light curtain drooped down, and in the light curtain was a huge island hanging alone on the sea.
"I am the examiner of this war trial. You can call me Priscia Superwei." She did not open her mouth, and her voice seemed to sound directly from Adam's heart, instantly calming down all his mood.
After hearing the mage's self-introduction, all the apprentices present bowed respectfully, waiting for Chaowei's next words.
"Here," the Super-dimensional Mage pointed to the island, "is a gathering place for enemy mages raised in the Fifth Element Holy Tower. There are thirteen families of enemy mages, and two schools survive. Their magic includes ancient elements, negative energy, curses, mutant creatures, undeads, toxins, etc...."
The apprentices were in a state of excitement and took out various items to record the words of the Super Dimensional Mage.
"The Holy Tower has detained the mages of level 3 and above on the island, and your trial goal is to eliminate all remaining creatures that can communicate magic power." The Super Dimensional Mage sentenced the enemy mages to death in a turbulent tone.
As she said that, she waved her hand gently, and several elemental creatures appeared beside her. They held unknown alchemy items in their hands and distributed them to everyone in turn.
"This is a merit bracelet. All your movements will be recorded by it during the trial process and will be passed to me."
Adam put the bracelet on his hand and felt his wrist tingling slightly. He tried to take it off and found that the bracelet seemed to be closely connected to his body through some connection.
"Kill a creature of the formal level, you can get one hundred merit points, the second level is two hundred points, and all the following formal level are counted as one point. The other special tasks will be distributed to you from time to time through bracelets. Your mission method is completely free, you can choose to perform the team or choose to behead alone, and the standard for completion is to get one thousand points."
Adam calculated that each person was one thousand, and the nearly 1,000 people present needed a total of one million merits. Such a huge number? Will there be so many people on the enemy mage island?
Sure enough, the following words of the Super Dimensional Mage caused another commotion: "According to the estimates of the Holy Tower, including the special tasks that may be released, there are less than 150,000 points on the entire island."
This is a simple arithmetic problem. Less than one-sixth of people can pass the trial, while the rest can only be eliminated.
The Super Martial Master coughed lightly and suppressed all the discussions: "The meaning of war trial is to select elites. Although you are geniuses from your respective academy, you may not necessarily fit the standards of the Holy Tower. Those who died in the trial, or who were eliminated without completing their goals, can only say that I am sorry."
"Trial training is not a game. Maybe you have heard that the enemy mage is very weak, but that is relative to the formal level. For you, any enemy mage means a huge danger. I remind you again that if you have not found your own path, it is still too late to exit. Once you enter the trial field, unless you can survive until someone else completes the final goal, any apprentice who leaves the trial field without authorization will cause the bracelet to explode."
The speech of the Superwei Mage was as simple and direct as other mages, without making a fool of themselves, without concealing the facts, and directly telling everyone about their interests. As soon as this sentence was spoken, Adam found that many people present showed hesitation. He guessed that this part was probably from a relatively weak and remote academy like him. Participating in the trial was not more faith, but gambling.
But at this time, no one will retreat, otherwise the blow to the soul will be enough to make them unable to go further in life.
Seeing that no one left, the Superwei Master nodded with satisfaction, pointed his hand at the ground, and the teleportation light lit up. Everyone stepped on the formation pattern. Finally, everyone heard the Superwei Master announce the start of the trial and then disappeared into the hall.
———
"They are here!"
"I felt the disgusting breath of the runes!"
"We are not livestock after humiliation!"
"Kill them, kill these betrayers who deviate from the essence of magic!"
"Kill them, cut off the foundation of the betrayer, and let the true magical glory shine again in the world of mages!"
Deep in each well-defended family school on the enemy mage island, formal level enemy mages with a scent of decay roared to the sky. Under their command, the entire island became a war zone, and any unknown human being will be attacked by them indiscriminately.
———
After Adam came to his senses, he found himself standing alone in a wilderness. I don’t know whether all the apprentices were scattered or whether there was a problem with Adam’s teleportation, but Adam felt that it should be the first situation. Surviving and finding companions when everything was unknown may be the first step in the trial.
The devil has been depressed since he was forced out of the female slaves by Adam in the morning. When he arrived at the enemy mage island, he finally returned to his mood. He appeared in front of Adam with a puff, and took an exaggerated and intoxicated breath of the air with a strange energy breath on the island: "Oh! I like this, I smell the smell of my hometown."
Adam felt a little disgusted when he looked at the devil's expression and the negative energy breath that was adjusted to the erotic taste by it. An electric arc hit it mercilessly. The devil was disintegrated by the electric body and then reorganized, and said resentfully: "Master..."
"Shut up and see where there are people around you. Don't take action when you encounter someone with energy breath, wait for me to deal with it."
After receiving the order, the devil no longer made jokes. It knew that the importance of this trial was not only for Adam, but also closely related to it. It is a devil, an alien creature who cultivates negative energy. If there is no master who has been promoted to the official level in the mage plane, it will be impossible for it to complete its transformation at all.
After the devil left, Adam stayed in place and silently adjusted his energy breath. Although the Super Dimensional Mage set a goal, the details were too vague. For example, can I be promoted during the trial? What should I do with ordinary people on the enemy mage island?
Adam felt that the reason why he did not explain these was not the negligence of the super-dimensional mage, but should test the apprentices' ability to adapt to changes, which may be related to the final evaluation of the task.
While thinking, the devil touched the soul contact: "Master, there is a gathering area here."
