Chapter 280 Problems in the Competition
Chapter 280 Problems in the Competition
In the area where the Space School is located, the five-story wizard tower located in the center is particularly eye-catching.
Coming out of his 'Swiftwood Tower', Ivan headed straight for the Wizard Tower. On the way, he saw a familiar figure and hurriedly called out to him from a distance.
"Wait, Elder Mendane, let's go together."
"Wizard Ivan, what are you busy with? Why don't you even participate in a grand event like the appreciation competition? I haven't seen you recently." Mendane stopped and waited for him to approach.
"I'm busy improving my strength. Unlike you, I've only been a second-level wizard for a few years. I'm not in a hurry to pursue a higher level of enchantment." Ivan said.
"You can't say that. After all, you are the elder of the guild. You should be diligent in the pursuit of enchantment. Otherwise, when will we be able to explore the teleportation array?" Mendane rolled his eyes, seeming dissatisfied.
Ivan could tell that he was just joking.
Things like teleportation arrays are not only being explored by the Dongdu Enchanting Guild, but also by Enchanting Guilds in other regions. It is a long-term experimental project that will require immeasurable amounts of manpower and time.
"Are we being called together this time because something went wrong with the appreciation competition that is being held?" Ivan took the opportunity to ask in a low voice.
"Oh, that's right. Someone has taken out a special rune magic array, which has put the guild in a difficult situation." Mendane nodded slightly and said with a sigh.
He did not hide the issue that would be discussed shortly and briefly explained the problem.
It turned out that at the appreciation meeting, someone took out a set of rune magic arrays, one was the 'Bloodline Transformation Array', and the other was the 'Bloodline Purification Array'. Both arrays serve bloodline transformers.
Most wizards in Dongdu are skeptical and wary of blood modification.
However, in recent years, driven by some wizards with ulterior motives, the trend of bloodline transformation has become increasingly popular, gradually spreading from all corners of the continent to regional centers.
Look, at the appreciation competition currently being held, someone even showed off his skills and took out these two rune magic arrays.
"Is the other party trying to make a name for himself?" Ivan guessed.
“That should be a factor. They not only participated in the East Capital Appreciation Competition, but also in the West Capital, South Capital, and North Capital Guild Competitions. They presented similar formations and have already made a name for themselves.
If they get a top place in the competition, the trend of bloodline transformation may be completely unstoppable." Mendane said worriedly.
The Enchanter Guild does not stand on the side of bloodline transformation, nor does it want to be a helper in promoting this trend, but as a principled enchanter, the guild cannot close its eyes and ignore the excellence of the two rune wizard arrays.
That's the problem at hand.
"Blood modification can easily cause mutations, and there are also emotional disorders involved. Why would this trend emerge?" Ivan asked in confusion.
He thought about the Five-Leaf Spear, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.
The Five Leaf Spear is just a little unbridled in its working style. Its purpose is consistent with the interests of the wizards, and it is unlikely to promote such a matter that obviously has hidden dangers.
"Maybe it has something to do with what happened in Berta Blood Plain." Mendane paused for this question and only gave a vague answer.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Ivan did not continue to ask.
The reception and meeting room of the wizard tower is on the fifth floor. After it is opened, you can go up directly. This distance is certainly not a problem for a second-level wizard.
After everyone arrived, Ivan found that there were only twelve people in total, including himself. Perhaps some people did not make it in time, but it was also obvious that there were indeed not many elders in the Space School.
Just like what Mendane said before, Vice President Angus said the same thing and the meaning was almost the same.
“I asked you all to come here because I want you to think of a solution. There are still three days before the competition ends. You can find an enchanter or a force you are familiar with to participate in the competition, or simply ask others to represent you.
In a word, produce some excellent works and never let that person come to the fore again." He emphasized at last.
Hearing such a strange request, the elders present all smiled bitterly.
"Vice President, isn't it inappropriate to cheat like this?" "The work is real, it's not cheating."
"This shouldn't just be a requirement of our Space School, right?"
"The same goes for the other three schools. But don't expect them to come up with anything good. With their limited abilities, what good can they come up with?"
Since the vice president has said so much, the elders below naturally have to give him face. Someone immediately said that they would start making arrangements after the meeting and would definitely contribute to the Space School.
In Dongdu, Ivan was unfamiliar with the place and had reason not to participate.
"Elder Ivan, I will arrange for someone to bring your Ant King Empty Shield to the competition. I hope you don't mind." Angus said to Ivan as the elders turned to leave.
"No problem. I'll try my best to cooperate wherever you need me." This was something Ivan didn't expect, but he didn't refuse.
Although the Ant King's Sky Shield involves some spatial energy, it only has 20 rune bundles, which is far from the intermediate rune magic array and does not have any other unique features. It should be difficult to beat the works of other contestants and it is difficult to rank among the top.
Soon, Ivan returned to the 'Swift Tower'.
He took out Ye Luo's Book and found a person who was selling information. After contacting the other party, he asked to buy the information. He wanted to know the real reason behind the trend of bloodline transformation.
"Take a high-level magic item in exchange."
The other party quickly gave a price, which left Ivan stunned.
These days he has figured out one thing: the members who dare to advertise in the Book of Ye Luo are actually tacitly approved by the Five Leaf Spears and are also relatively trustworthy peripheral forces.
He was not afraid of being deceived by the other party, but the price of this information was somewhat shocking, it was too expensive.
"Well, the situation on China Continent is a bit strange, so I won't bother with this little thing."
After a while, Ivan took his newly refined "Ant King Shield" and left the Swift Wood Tower and headed for the agreed location.
In Block 399, Ivan walked into a tavern and came to the agreed table, where he saw a woman who was probably just a peripheral member of the Five Leaf Spear.
He handed over the Ant King's Shield as payment.
"Your stuff is fine, this is what you wanted."
Compared with the Ant King's Empty Shield, the quality of the Ant King's Shield is a little worse, but it is still in the category of high-level magic items and can meet the requirements put forward by the other party.
"Your stuff is fine too."
Ivan took the crystal ball handed to him by Yinhui, took a look at it, and sure enough, there was the answer he wanted in it.
Seeing this, the woman gestured and left.
Only then did Ivan receive the message from the crystal ball.
There were indeed other problems hidden behind the trend of bloodline transformation. The problems were bigger than he expected and even involved the entire wizard community.
A few years ago, a traitor appeared in the highest echelons of wizards. He used the power of his bloodline to reach a higher position of strength, overwhelmed many of his peers, and caused great losses.
The occurrence of this incident made many wizards see the brilliance of the bloodline path.
Nowadays, even some people in high positions can't hold back and start to tread on the path of bloodline, with their superiors following suit, the trend of bloodline transformation has begun.
