Compared with the Wutong who was able to use the super-level spell [Any Gate] (4th-order spell) of the 8th-order ** master Zemur Old Man to go directly to the Venane Academy, the other participants were much more unlucky, and they had to leave the affairs at hand and rush to Fairhaven City, the capital of Ander.
Yes, this year's Chief War will be hosted by Adele, so contestants from other regions of the Kovarare continent must travel a long way to Fairhaven to compete, compared to the contestants in Adele's territory are much luckier, at least they don't have to go on the road long in advance, they just need to arrive at Wienern Academy before the deadline.
The deadline for registration for this chief war is the midnight of the last [Dragon's Breath] in December, that is, [Dawning Calendar - December 30, 2012], which is also one of the most important festivals of the year in Adele [Midwinter Festival], which is almost equivalent to New Year's Day in Asia and America, and is one of the most important festivals of the Ander people.
So, although the year was devastated and the festive atmosphere was much lighter, the city was still full of festivities, with celebrations being prepared, people busy preparing food and wine, and religious believers heading in groups to the temples of their gods for the end-of-year mass.
In fact, all countries have different festivals, and Adele is the same, the harvest festival in October, the midsummer festival in June, the late spring festival in April, the ice melting festival in February, and the different festivals in each month...
Because of the wide variety of races on the continent, if strictly speaking, every day of the year is 360 days a year, and there are even several festivals to celebrate every day, which is a good thing for casual players who like to have a good time, because you can always find a reason to be happy.
However, for adventurers, the existence of these festivals is dispensable, and they are always busy with things, such as Sycamore, who was once annoyed that he missed the [Midsummer Festival] in June.
Because I heard that on this night, unmarried girls will be allowed by their elders to stay up at night, hide in some woods, or in some beautiful but secluded place, pretend to be a cute "prey", waiting for brave and handsome "hunters" to come and "hunt".
If the girl likes to catch her hunter, she will allow him to resist her and take her back to her "hunter's hut" for a "good meal"... As for how to enjoy the meal, whether it is grilled or stewed, it depends on the hunter's meaning.
It sounded tempting, but at that time, Sycamore didn't know whether to venture on the Gray Bone Plains or be busy in the Will Forest, so he was completely away from the crowd and missed the fun-sounding festival in vain.
Unknowingly, "Endless" has been running for four months (1:3 timeline), and in retrospect, it seems that a long, long time has passed, of course, this has something to do with his long-term use of the Endless Cabin, from a game novice, to the current lord of a land, which makes Sycamore himself feel a little incredible.
After the old man Zemmours brought them back to the Vinane Academy, he left them behind and went to work with the work that belonged to him as the head of the academy, except for them who had just arrived, the other chief war contestants had basically arrived, which made the Venane Academy, which had been empty for a long time, seem to be crowded, and players wearing different kingdom-style clothes were wandering around the huge academy.
Since the Chief War is dominated by spellcasters, each caster is usually accompanied by more or less partners from other classes, and the scale of the Chief War has increased, making it more and more numerous.
Sycamore also has a lot of people in their team, he and Paladin, the two spellcaster captains, because they belong to different house camps, so after arriving at the Venane Academy, he took his team to find the team of Arcarix Academy in a hurry, and when the competition really starts, he will rejoin them and join forces to fight in the competition.
For the sake of this chief war, the Venaeon Academy has placed a heavy bet on the [Chief of the Nine Departments] of the Sycamore, not only transferring the middle and high-level mages of the Venaeon Academy to the Obsidian Collar to reside in the town, so that the Sycamore can rest assured that the chief war will not have to worry about the affairs of the territory.
And in terms of the royal family's attitude towards the obsidian collar, Zemmour's group of ** divisions also put their efforts into it, a thousand dragon eagle knights, a thousand griffin knights, the noble group and Her Royal Highness the princess, plus a large number of rich and somewhat excessive rewards, but they are all their credits, in order to allow Sycamore to win glory for the Venane Academy with all his heart.
Although the dead house of Wutong is because of his illness, he rarely has contact with people at home all the year round, and he is a little white in dealing with people, but his intentions can still be seen from the attitude of the ** teachers, otherwise, he almost moved the Venane Academy to the obsidian collar and guarded the territory for a student, which is too much.
Although I can't understand what they are doing, Sycamore knows that the large number of runic circles and renovated buildings left by the mages in the obsidian collar are definitely good for the obsidian collar, which is also a disguised support for the middle and high-level mages to Wutong, a student who has not yet been able to build his own mage tower.
Speaking of which, because Wutong alone plundered the identity of the [Chief of the Nine Departments] of the Venane Academy, resulting in the only chief student of the Venane Academy this year, he was the only chief student, so Wutong became a disciple of the sixty-five ** masters of the Venane Academy in disguise (including Zemmour, the ** master of the general department, he is the only one), which is simply impossible to put in other academies, and when the resources of the entire academy are all concentrated on one person, the energy that can be gathered is very terrifying.
Of course, this is also based on the premise that Sycamore has enough talent, and the cheating artifact of the Endless Hut makes this impossible thing possible, in a sense, Sycamore has been bound to the interests of the entire Venane Academy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wutong is the first student of the Venane Academy, a large number of low-level mages (players) of the Venane Academy have joined his "Secret Law Order" and become employees serving the "Secret Shadow", and a large number of middle-level mages have now become the town mages serving the obsidian collar, and the top eight department leaders among the high-level mages are his enlightenment teachers, and only sixty-five super-level ** masters are his current arcane teachers, so Wutong's status in the Venane Academy is unsurpassed.
And the important surname of the Venern Academy to the Kingdom of Adele made him extremely close to the royal family, and the chain reaction caused the current situation.
Compared to other teams of players who are busy preparing for the competition, Sycamore and they seem to be very leisurely, because as one of the several major academies in charge of the Infinity Tower, Sycamore, the chief student, does not need to participate in the initial "audition", and can directly participate in the final competition as a seeded player, and after the [Midwinter Festival] is over, during the [Moon Festival] five days before the start of the new year, they have nothing to do, and their battle will not officially start until the sixth day of [Storm Day].
The five-day period of the [Moon Festival] does not belong to any month of the year, and it is customary on the continent of Kovarare to read these five days as the most important festival time in the country, which is equivalent to the New Year in the Asian and American regions, and all important celebrations will be carried out during these five days.
And [Storm Said] is every four years, there will be an extra day after the [Moon Festival] that does not belong to any month, usually called the "main month" in January of that year, and this year happens to be the day of [Storm Moon: Zarantiel], so this extra day in addition to 360 days + 5 days, it is called [Storm Day], and on this day four years later, it will be called [Sentinel Month: Ela Rune]'s [Sentinel Said].
In other words, six days later will be the peak of the "Rising Period" of the [Storm Moon], and [Zarantiel] will hang in the middle of the night sky for the whole month, bright enough to replace the sun to illuminate the land at night, and it will also be the peak of the "Storm Moon Surge".
"Is the contest out?"
While taking the team back to dormitory building No. 44, where they had not lived in the Wiener Academy for a few days, Wutong casually asked Tian Fenghua, King Kong Pea and Xiao San, who were in charge of intelligence, and the three of them were the scout professions in the Wutong team in this competition.
"The primary selection is just a first-war knockout ring competition, they are all rookies, it's not interesting, it is estimated that all the ring battles will end in the next few days [Moon Festival]. As for the second and final selections, they will start on the day of [Storm Said], and I heard that it is an adventure race, and the competition venue is nothing more than those dangerous places in the territory of Adele, and the final chief battle is not known. ”
Xiao Sanyi wore a leather suit with a sense of surname, pinched his small waist with one hand, and shook the dagger with slender and slender fingers in the other, pouting disdainfully at the strength of these player teams that focused on participation.
Pea also added: "Since the guys of the "Secret Law Order" are the team recommended by the ** division of the Venane Academy, they do not need to participate in the primary selection, they directly enter the final selection, and it doesn't matter if they participate in the second selection, they will not be counted in the results. Boss, you will directly enter the chief battle, and you don't need to participate in the primary, re-election, and final selection, but are we just staying like this for the past few days? ”
Wutong rubbed his chin, his psychology was bottomless, and he said to the July Liuhuo who was responsible for leading the team: "The sixty-four teams participating in the final selection of the "Secret Law Group", it is best to participate in the competition content of the second selection, anyway, it will not be counted in the results, it is better to familiarize yourself with and run in the team in advance, and by the way, you can also learn about the combat power of other teams. ”
Qiliuhuo nodded, and immediately summoned the leaders of the sixty-four teams and gave orders, while Wutong thought about it for a while, and then turned his head to Tianyuanfeng Hua: "Huahua, send out all the members of "Youying" under your hands, and keep an eye on the participating teams to see if there are any dark horses, and I am sure that the team that pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger will appear." ”
Tian Fenghua nodded, turned his head and left, the "Traveling Shadow" under his name is now the intelligence agency of "Secret Shadow", and he is responsible for these things.
"Also, Pea, aren't you and Xiao San peripheral members of "Royal Eye"? Let's see if we can get some useful information from the official, especially the team of the chief battle, if we can get their information, we can prepare for it as soon as possible. Little three, you go and communicate with the intelligence officers of the seven teams of "Wolf Clan", "Eternal God", "Cone of the Thunder Dragon", "Dark Blade", "Shackles", "Shamanism", and "Hell Roaring Legion" to share intelligence, maybe they have some channels to get other news. ”
Xiao San also nodded, and his figure disappeared in a flash, such an important big plot, the intelligence officers of each family had already started early, didn't you see that all the people running around the city now are wanderers.
After considering the members of your own squad plus followers, and then counting the personnel under the name of the seven super plays:
[Cauter]: 12
[Mage-General] Sycamore
[Mage-Plastic Energy Department] July Flowing Fire
[Mage-Necromancy] Origin
[Mage-Prophecy Department] AIS
[Mage - Protection] Shuang'an

[Forest Ranger]: 2 people
[Jungle Hunter] half a cigarette,
[Jungle Hunter] will be drinking
[Druid]: 1
[Raptor Druid] Soaring Eagle. yoke
[Warrior]: 1 person
[Mountain Breaker] is born unscrupulous
plus the twenty are [Mountain Breaker], [Earth Splitting Warrior], and [Demon Warrior] Semi-beast human barbarians, a total of fifty-five people
Because each team can only have 11 people including the captain plus 5 substitutes, so there are 16 people in total, but Wutong is also the [head of the eight departments] of the Venane Academy, so he accounts for a total of eight participating teams, and in addition to himself, he can also bring an additional 120 people to participate, so the lack can be made up from the seven members under the name of Super Play.
But since the [Silver Flame Warlock] Paladin of "Eternal God's Kingdom" also has the right to lead the team, so bring a team alone, and Wutong asked him to bring the ten [Tempest] professional troll warriors under his name, and when the time comes, the substitutes or something can be drawn from their side, don't forget that Wutong still has sixty-four [final team] places under his name, and it is enough to bring as many substitutes as he wants.
If you really want to talk about it, the substitutes under their name, the profession and race are too complete, not only elves, halflings, barbarians, dwarves, and trolls, but the followers and contract creatures under Wutong's own name are enough for a single team:
[Followers]:
[Barrier Warrior] Riorado,
Raphael,
[Barrier Warriors] Michelangelo,
[Barrier Warrior] Donatello
[Strike Killer] Wood (Shapeshifting Spider-Elf Appearance)
[Wind Slayer] Zara (Shapeshifter-Elf Appearance)
[Contract Creature] Aglaia. Mecanshit (Devil) summons the Little Flame Demon (Little Bad Demon Evolution)
[Contract Creature] Bussom. Glesia (Demon) summons the Little Flame Demon (Little Cowardly Evolution)
[Contract Creature] Bone (Lord of Bones) summons necromancy
[Pet] Raylen (Bird of Paradise) summons a Sunbird (Fire Raven Evolution)
[Demon Pet] Schneider (Pseudo-Dragon) summons the Bladetooth Dragon (Needle-toothed Dragon Evolution)
[Elemental Companion] Sarath (Elemental Wind Batman) summons the Gang Bat
[Elemental Companion] Shalamanda (Fire Elemental Elf) summons the Fire Elemental
[Animal Companion]
[Land Mount] Agua (Giant Boar)
[Flying Mount] Purple (Purple Feather Dragon Eagle)
[Construct Golem] Dumb (Statue of Temu Ao [Minor Easy])
However, contract creatures, elemental companions, animal companions, etc., do not need to be counted in the team quota, only followers need to occupy the quota, so thinking about it, this Nima is an army! Army!
Wutong decided, although it is not counted in the results, but from the beginning of the re-election, take them for a run-in, in order to familiarize themselves with everyone's fighting style as soon as possible, Wutong believes that not only themselves, those super players do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, everyone's hole cards are covered well, and they also need to be slowly forced out through a large number of battles, if they can't even pass the strength of the re-election and final selection, then they have to prepare early.
The five-day ring competition eliminated more than half of the participating teams, most of which were teams recommended by small colleges, small forces, and small organizations, and the strength was too poor to be eliminated.
Early in the morning, the remaining teams after the survival of the fittest gathered in the wide square of the Venane Academy, although the number of people had decreased by more than half, but there was still a large sea of crows and crows as far as the eye could see.
The content of the re-selected mission has been announced the day before, going to the goblin tribe or kobold tribe in the Will Forest to conduct reconnaissance missions, there is no clear mission goal, but the clearer the reconnaissance record, the more detailed the content, the higher the task points that can be obtained, and the less easy it is to be brushed down in the final final point elimination.
It seems that this task is a bit too simple, because the kobold tribe and goblin tribe in Will Forest have become the main disaster location for players in Oraon City since "Secret Shadow" set foot in the development of Oraon City, and many players have rushed in to burn and kill and plunder.
However, from the perspective of mission type, a little common sense can see the pitfall: what kind of reconnaissance record is considered "detailed"?
It's about pushing the members of the participating team to death until they reach their limits, and you never know how many people will surpass you! So in order to not rank too low, players have to go to the deepest part of the two places as much as possible!
The ceremony at the beginning was simple, and after a bunch of bigwigs on the balabala pass, the conditions of the mission were announced:
Seventy-two hours, before the sun rises in three days' time, you must return to the square of the Venanne Academy!
Finally, the old man Zemmour, as the organizer of the competition, said meaningfully: "Children, try to come back alive!" Raise your hand and release a burst of flame into the air, announcing the start of the race!
I saw that the dense crowd in the square, like a flood that opened the floodgates, poured towards the west gate of Fairhaven City, and slaughtered towards Will Forest.
Wutong shrugged his shoulders, thinking that the old man Zemmour would say something with the surname of Jian, causing him to wait in Fairhaven for several days in vain, as a high-end team, the mission location of the rematch had been found out by the intelligence officers under the name of the super play a few days ago, plus everyone was not a team participating in the rematch, so they didn't need to gather in the square at will, so they went directly to Aoraon City to wait, and when Wutong received the mission content and mission requirements announced by the old man Zemmour in public, he could start.
Shaking his head, Sycamore pulled up his hood and released the [Summoning Mount], a high-pitched roar came from the air, and a dragon eagle broke through the clouds and swooped down, passing over the crowd, causing countless players to exclaim, and Sycamore A [Displacement Technique] appeared in the air at a height of ten meters, and when it fell, the dragon eagle happened to pass under him, leaving a purple shadow with him, and disappeared into the distance in an instant!
And when the player group was talking in surprise, the old man Zemmour on the high platform touched his beard with a smile, looking a little ill-intentioned...
