A day later.

In the Ice Blue Spell Academy, although the Potions Competition process has ended, the entire Potions Competition has not faded out of the field of vision of the mages in the academy, on the contrary, because of the upcoming finals, it has attracted more mages' attention.

In the venue where the preliminary round was held, a large number of mages gathered here, ready to catch a glimpse of the mages who made it to the finals.

When the second phase of the rematch ended, a message began to circulate within the Ice Blue Spell Academy. It seems that in the course of the second rematch, a mage has refined a perfect potion that only appears in legends.

Rumor has it that when the mage refined the perfect potion, he was immediately appreciated by the academy administrators. The administrator of the Ice Blue Spell Academy personally wore a special badge for this mage.

And this has also been confirmed by many mages who have witnessed the entire rematch process. Since these mages existed, the rest of the mages were able to confirm that this was really happening in the Ice Blue Spell Academy.

The appearance of the perfect potion undoubtedly attracted all the mages within the academy. These mages wanted to see what kind of mages who could refine the perfect potion had.

To this end, these mages gathered around the field, observing every move around them, trying to find the mage who could refine the perfect potion.

And on the side, Rhodes has also come here.

According to the rules mentioned by Sock, several mages who have passed the second stage of the semi-finals will gather here and pass through the gate of time and space opened by Sock to the final venue of the Potions Competition, which is the city of Winter.

When Rod's form first appeared, it attracted the attention of a large number of mages around him.

The mages looked at Rhodes and tried to get some information from him, and at the same time, a commotion was heard from around the field.

The commotion around him was so loud that even Rhodes himself could hear the news from the mouths of these mages.

Rhodes could clearly hear that the mages had mentioned the phrase "perfect potion" several times during their discussions.

Obviously, these mages didn't know where they learned about the effects of the potions that Rhodes had refined, and they paid so much attention to Rhodes' movements that they also had some ideas about the perfect potion.

And beside Rod, Rowling didn't seem to be used to being watched by these mages around her, her face was unnatural for a while, and her expression was a little low, but fortunately, Rod's found this in time and reached out to hold Rowling's hand.

Only Rod knew that Rowling's somewhat depressed expression was not caused by the gaze of the mages around him, but that before coming here, Rod informed Rowling of some of his arrangements.

This time he traveled to Winter City to participate in the finals of the Potions Competition, and Rhodes did not plan to let Rowling go with him.

Before coming to the venue, Rod informed Rowling of his decision, which made Rowling difficult to accept for a while, and it was also the reason why Rowling looked depressed at this time.

Rod made this decision with his own considerations.

When Rod confronted Els, there was a clear feeling of powerlessness. Since Rhodes himself is only at the fourth order, when facing a mage like Els, he will be deeply suppressed by him.

Based on his experience in dealing with mages in his previous life, Rhodes was able to confirm that Els's strength should have reached the apex of the sixth order, and he only needed to go one step further to be able to step into the threshold of the seventh-order creature. It's just that this step may have stuck Els for a long time.

Due to their own talent limitations, when the mage's rank reaches a certain level, they cannot continue to improve, and all the mage can do is study the rest of the spells.

According to Rod's understanding of mages, in his opinion, Els was at such a stage that he could not improve his strength by other means, which is why he was so eager for the perfect potion.

However, even in the face of Els in this state, Rod could not fight on his own, and even with the addition of the ghost dragon, Rod did not have much certainty of defeating him.

What Rhodes can be sure of is that in the City of Winter, there will be no shortage of mages similar to Els.

The existence of the Potions Competition, in addition to attracting low-level mages, some powerful mages will also be attracted to it.

Rhodes predicted that mages like Els, whose strength was about to reach the seventh order, would also have a lot of existence in the Severe Winter City.

In this case, Rhodes himself could not even guarantee safety, and if something happened to Rowling, it would be difficult for Rhodes to deal with it. As long as Rhodes casts a spell, his identity as a necromancer will be immediately revealed, and he will not be able to hide from any mage.

In itself, Rhodes joined this potions competition, trying to obtain artifact parts as a reward, it was an extremely risky thing, there were too many variables, even Rhodes did not have a perfect plan.

For this reason, Rhodes could only dispel Rowling's idea of going to the Harsh Winter City together. In Rod's opinion, the safest thing to do is to let Rowling return to the interior of Silver Cliff City first.

In case Rod's identity is revealed, and Rowling is still in the Ice Blue Spell Academy, then she will also be in great trouble, and in this case, only Silver Cliff City is relatively safe.

When Rod made this request to Rowling, Rod was vaguely aware that Rowling would not easily agree to this.

It's like when Rhodes stayed in the mining village near Silvercliff City before he met Elon. Faced with a landslide-like scene triggered by the Mother of the Dead, Rowling did not choose to leave, but chose to stay where she was and face it with Rod.

Because of this experience, Rod thought that he might have to persuade Rowling one after another to get her to agree, but what Rod didn't expect was that when he made a request, Rowling immediately agreed.

When Rhodes tells Rowling about what happened to Els, Rowling is also aware of the dangers that can be encountered in this Potions competition.

In terms of spell-casting ability, Rowling at this time is not much weaker than Rod, and even stronger than Rod, but when facing those strongest mages, Rowling's strength is still not enough.

Rowling knew that for Rod's safety, her best choice was not to go to Winter City with Rod. Even if you are very worried in your heart, you can only wait from a distance, and if you really insist on following Rod, it will only be a drag.

At this moment, Rowling complained to herself for the first time, why couldn't she master more spell knowledge before when she had such a strong learning ability? If you have enough strength, you can help Rhodes in this kind of battle, instead of waiting for the result from afar.
