Aside from showing interest to Rhodes, the man did not alarm the rest of the mages who were observing around the field, but walked towards the field on his own.

The mages who stayed there and observed had different thoughts in their hearts.

Some people simply want to confirm their possible opponents, while others try to see from these players on the field their methods of refining potions, as well as the most critical potion recipes.

When refining potions, the recipe can be said to be the most critical point, and the value of a potion recipe can even be much higher than the value of a spell.

If a mage has a good eye, even if he has no prior knowledge of potions, he will be able to rely on his mastery of Eagle Eye to learn a lot of new things by observing the techniques of other mages in this kind of potions competition.

For the surrounding spectators, the Potions Competition did not make too many restrictions, whether they could seize this opportunity and learn any special skills still depends on the teacher's own ability.

As if noticing the man's movement of looking at Rhodes as he left, Elon on the side took the initiative to introduce Rhodes to his identity.

In the process of uniting the surrounding lords, Elon spends different amounts of energy depending on the strength of each lord and the level of contact with the necromancer.

Although Bracada's territory is vast, there are only a large number of colleges in the center, and only around the border, and in some unimportant locations, will there be a large number of lords who have left the mage college.

Not all lords want to see necromancers reappear. Some lords and necromancers are only interested in gaining some magical knowledge, rather than really getting involved in these matters.

And among these lords with different attitudes, there are naturally many lords who have colluded with necromancers for a long time. Compared to these lords, the interior of Elon's territory is quite normal, at least the necromancer cannot act at will, and needs to follow Elon's instructions.

Under Elon's introduction, Rhodes learned that this man was also a necromancer, and belonged to one of the most rampant forces among necromancers, and the magic guild had forcibly suppressed the necromancer's many rectifications by the lords of this territory.

However, in Rod's perception, he could not find any traces of the necromancer from this man, not even the peeping eye, nor could he get accurate information.

Rhodes knew that the man had also used a means to prevent his anomaly from being exposed, and perhaps he also had the treasure provided by the Spirit Society to hide his identity.

Due to the extreme width of the field, not many people noticed the man's play.

When Sock finished talking about the rules of the Potions Competition, the first trial of the Potions Competition officially began, and except for some mages who were able to keep their cool and observe the surroundings, the rest of the mages were already eager to try it out.

Although the requirements for the initial examination are extremely simple, in some respects, they are more stringent, and that is that there is only one chance to try.

Once you go on the field to refine, but the refining fails, and you don't refine a qualified potion, then this potions competition will have no chance for this person.

Even if the consequences of failure are more serious, it can't stop the enthusiasm of these mages, and for a while, there are too many mages trying to try.

Although the Potions competition has only just begun, by now, Rhodes has seen many scenes of refining failures.

The mage's expression after the failure also attracted Rhodes's attention, some mages looked extremely annoyed after the failure, obviously they didn't expect to fail in such a simple refining process, and some mages seemed to be indifferent, just to participate in the trial here, and then go to participate in other activities of the academy event.

Mages have different attitudes towards potions competitions, with some seeing it as a form of entertainment and others as a way to prove themselves.

While Rhodes was observing these mages, there were some exclamations in the room.

Following the direction from which the call came, Rod also looked over, just in time to see the man from before, who was in another area of the playing field.

Due to the methods required to refine potions, the site was divided into two areas by the type of instrument in the process of preparing these refining instruments.

One of the main areas is the iron cauldron where the instruments are housed for the first brewing of herbs. At the same time, this area is also the location with the largest number of people.

In the other area, there are delicate silver instruments that can refine crude potions, but in the first attempt, it seems that this step is not necessary.

In the process of refining potions, under normal circumstances, the initial boiling of potions must be completed with a cauldron to obtain crude potions, and then through a series of methods, the crude potions can be refined to obtain concentrated and more effective potions.

In the initial test of the potions competition, since there is no limit to the quality of the potion, for the participating mages, it is completely possible to skip the refining step and directly turn in the crude potion as their own finished product.

At this time, in the area of refining potions, it was almost impossible to see any mages, and the area where a large number of mages were concentrated was still the location where the crude potions were made at the beginning.

In this case, a mage who took the initiative to come to the refining potion area naturally attracted the attention of all the mages around.

In the process of refining potions, more complex instruments need to be used, and some mages do not even understand how to use these instruments without sufficient research in potions beforehand.

Many of the mages who were observing around didn't know about the existence of potions competitions until after the academy event began, and naturally they didn't understand how to use these strangely shaped refining instruments.

Through the explanation of those mages who know a little bit about how to refine potions, these mages also have a general understanding of the process of refining potions, and know that they need to be boiled before they can be refined.

At this time, when they saw a player who had not been boiled but walked directly to the refining instrument, these mages could not help but laugh a little as if he did not know anything about potions.

And the change that Rhodes noticed was precisely because of this.

However, through Elon's introduction, Rhodes already knew that this man was also a necromancer sent by the Spirit Society to participate in the Potions Competition, and it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of Potions, and he obviously had his own purpose in doing so.

Sure enough, just as Rod was thinking this, the man also moved.
