The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 91 Too Many People
Since the news of the trial came out, it has attracted the attention of countless people, both covertly and covertly.

Everyone wanted to know which three wizard apprentices would stand out in the end and become the elite representing Dawn City in the competition.

And with the eager anticipation of countless people, this day has finally arrived.

The trial site was arranged in the mountains more than 50 kilometers outside the city.

Early in the morning, the mountain was crowded with wizard apprentices who came to watch the battle.

The four wizarding academies, the city guards, the Silver Light Legion, and even some mercenary regiments also had wizard apprentices running over specially.

Wizard apprentices, who were quite rare in the outer city in the past, are now scattered all over the mountains and plains. At a glance, there are black heads, at least tens of thousands of people, which can be called a rare sight.

On the top of the mountain, a group of wizard apprentices gathered to participate in the trial.

Pei Ze looked around and saw that the crowd was densely packed with no less than 500 people.

You must know that the weakest ones who dare to sign up for the trial are all third-level wizard apprentices, and they are either academy elites who have practiced advanced meditation methods, or veteran apprentices who have accumulated many years of experience in the third-level wizard apprenticeship realm.

Anyone here is enough to be called an elite in other places.

These more than 500 people are enough to fight a medium-intensity war on the plane battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that the crowd seems to be crowded, but in fact it is clearly divided into four parts.

Teenagers and girls who looked very young gathered together, both men and women were dressed in gray robes and badges on their chests, showing their identities—students of the Wizarding Academy.

And these people were faintly divided into four small groups, representing the four wizarding academies of Shadow, Violet, High Tower and Moonstone respectively.

Among them, the wizard apprentices from Tower Academy gathered around Pei Ze, vaguely headed by him, even the senior students.

This scene attracted the attention of many people.

Many scrutinizing eyes looked back and forth between his face and the first grade badge on his chest, either in doubt or curiosity.

On the right side of the college group, there are a group of wizard apprentices wearing gray robes and leather armor, and their behavior is very capable.

They belong to the City Guards.

On the left side of the academy group, there is also a group of apprentices wearing gray robes and leather armor.

It's just that compared to the wizard apprentices who were born in the city guard, their auras are more powerful, and there is a sharp bloody murderous aura all over their bodies.

There is no doubt that these people are wizard apprentices from the Silver Light Legion.

Only Silver Light Sergeant, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, has such a fierce aura.

The people in the last group wore different clothes and stood in a disorderly and chaotic manner, giving people the feeling of a ragtag group.

They are wizard apprentices from various mercenary groups and adventuring parties.

Compared with the members of the other three groups, the spirit of these people was significantly weaker.

In fact, the strength of these people is indeed inferior to that of the other three groups.

The reason why they came to participate in the trial was just to try their luck.

What if I get lucky and pass the trial?
That can make a lot of money!

They also did not hide their purpose at all. They talked about this matter loudly while laughing and cursing, which attracted the contempt and contempt of the other three groups.

Pei Ze secretly shook his head after hearing this.

These people didn't think about it carefully. The purpose of the Dawn Council holding this trial was to select elites who would represent Dawn City and Red Lotus City in the duel.

It is related to the distribution of income of a plane, and the Dawn Council will inevitably be cautious in this matter.

Even if someone is really lacking in strength and got a place in the competition purely by sheer luck, will the Dawn Council allow this person to participate in the competition?

The answer is obvious.

In all likelihood, that lucky person will drop out of the competition due to an accident, or even disappear, and then the Council of Dawn will choose another powerful wizard apprentice to fill his place.

This is almost predictable.

To be fair, this trial did.

But that's for a very small elite.

They can compete fairly for three competition places on this stage prepared by the Dawn Council.

As for the others, they are just green leaves to accompany the flowers.

If someone can't figure out his position and wants to be a flower, he will end up being uprooted.

It is a pity that in the face of the temptation of huge interests, few people can understand this point.

While Pei Ze was deep in thought, on the other side, a group of people were secretly looking at him.

"That person is Pei Ze?"

It was a tall young man who spoke.

He has a pair of ice blue eyes, his facial features are as tough as ice sculptures, and there is a hint of coldness, and his body also exudes a cold temperament.

He was wearing a pitch-black apprentice robe, and the badge on his chest was engraved with a long winding river.

Nether River!

The emblem of Shadow Academy.

Around the young man, there were more than a dozen wizard apprentices gathered around him, surrounding him like stars over the moon.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a young man with short brown-red hair and three horizontal black lines painted on his left cheek immediately said, "It should be Pei Ze, that's right, apart from him, there is no other first-year student in the High Tower Academy who can make the senior students look good. So obedient."

A black-haired young man wearing earrings next to him sneered: "The guys at Tower Academy are getting more and more useless. A group of third-year students is actually headed by a first-year student. After Yin Xue was promoted to wizard, there will be no one left in their third grade." ?"

"You can't say that." The red-haired young man shook his head solemnly, "I heard that this Pei Ze killed a binge drinker and a heretic overnight during the previous operation to suppress the Hand of Resentment. The legendary knight who colluded, if this is true, then his strength cannot be underestimated.”

The black-haired young man snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you also believe such rumors?"

"How could a third-level wizard apprentice who had just been promoted not long ago be able to kill a legendary knight?"

"Taking a step back, even if he really killed the two legendary knights, he must have used some kind of special means, either potions or some powerful consumable magic items!"

As soon as this was said, several students from the Shadow Academy around him nodded in agreement.

They also didn't believe that a first-year student could defeat the legendary knight openly. After all, that was too unbelievable.

You must know that even Mengwei, who is recognized as the head of the Shadow Academy, could not do this in the first grade.

The red-haired youth shrugged, looked at the blue-eyed youth who had been silent all this time, and said, "Mengwei, what do you think?"

Meng Wei glanced in Pei Ze's direction and said calmly: "I'm not interested."

Regardless of whether the rumors of Pei Ze killing the legendary knight were true or not, it was meaningless to him.

There are at least 30 apprentice wizards who have the strength to kill legendary knights.

But among these people, only Sang Fan and Su Shouhai were opponents worthy of his attention.

As for the others, nothing to fear.

At this time, Meng Wei's expression suddenly changed and he raised his head and looked forward.

"coming."

Others also reacted and followed his gaze.

I saw three wizards in white robes appearing in the empty space a hundred meters away.

Soon, other people also noticed the wizard's appearance one after another.

The originally noisy mountain top quickly quieted down.

Everyone stared at the three wizards intently, their expressions were either nervous and solemn, or looking forward to excitement.

Among the three wizards, the first one is tall and wears a silver mask on his face, covering the left half of his cheek. On the exposed right half of his cheek, there are no eyeballs in the eye sockets. Instead, there is a silver pocket watch dial.

The minute and hour hands inside are still moving slowly.

The masked wizard looked around, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Too many people."

Before the puzzled wizard apprentices understood the meaning of this sentence, the masked wizard suddenly opened his mouth and let out a howl.

The sound was so sharp that it instantly resounded over the top of the mountain.

Pei Ze instantly felt as if a steel needle had pierced his eardrum into his brain. The pain made his eyesight go black, his feet were unsteady, he staggered back two steps, and almost fainted.

"Howl of the Banshee!"

Pei Ze immediately remembered a famous spell.

This spell was created by simulating the howling sound of a banshee, which can range from mental damage to death, and it is extremely powerful.

Pfft!Pfft!
There were muffled sounds of bodies falling to the ground one after another.

Amidst the terrifying howls, many wizard apprentices rolled their eyes white, and passed out on the spot without even groaning.

In less than two seconds, more than half of the wizard apprentices fell to the ground.

After another two or three seconds, the extremely sharp howling finally stopped.

Pei Ze shook his head, trying to calm down his dizziness. He raised his head and looked around. He was surprised to find that there were less than a hundred wizard apprentices standing at this time.

"Carry these overestimating fellows away!"

The masked wizard sneered and waved his hand.

Immediately, a group of soldiers came quickly from the top of the mountain, picked up the unconscious wizard apprentices one by one, and took them away.

The apprentice wizard who was still standing watched this scene, Qi Qi remained silent with a complicated expression on his face.

Obviously, the 'howling' just now was the first level of the trial, and the purpose was to screen out those participants who lacked strength and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

And the effect is also very significant.

More than four-fifths of the participants were eliminated directly.

Especially those wizard apprentices from the mercenary group and the adventure group were completely wiped out, and none of them remained.

Those who can still stand on the top of the mountain at this time are basically the elite of the elite.

Pei Ze sighed secretly.

He guessed that the Dawn Council might take measures to screen out a group of people, but he didn't expect that the screening would be so strong that more than four-fifths of the participants would be eliminated on the spot.

And it's still such a neat method.

"But the one just now shouldn't be the real Howl of the Banshee. The power of the nine-ring spell is not that weak." Pei Ze thought.

If it were a real nine-ring spell, I'm afraid no wizard apprentice would still be alive.

What the mask wizard cast just now should be a weakened version of the spell based on the banshee's howl.

Not long after, the unconscious wizard apprentices were taken away.

The top of the mountain suddenly became much more spacious.

The masked wizard glanced around, nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, a two-meter-high light door appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

"This is the entrance to the maze."

The masked wizard spoke lightly.

"There are three iridescent gems placed in the center of the maze. Apprentices who get the iridescent gems and hold them until the end of the 72-hour trial period can get a place in the competition."

"During the trial, the use of potions, scrolls, external puppets and consumable magic items is prohibited."

"After the trial begins, everyone will get a teleportation ring. The teleportation technique is attached to the ring. After being activated, they will leave the maze and return here in an instant, but that also means that you have given up the trial."

"Now everyone enters the maze in order, and only one person enters at a time."

After explaining the rules of the trial, the masked wizard announced the start of the trial on the spot without leaving time for everyone to react.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but soon some people came out and walked towards the light gate.

Pei Ze also took steps and followed the team into the light gate.

Not long after, all the wizard apprentices disappeared behind the light door, and the top of the mountain became empty in an instant, with only three wizards left.

The masked wizard waved his hand, and the light gate instantly disintegrated into countless light particles. Under the influence of invisible pulling, all the light particles shot up into the sky like sharp arrows, suddenly exploded high in the sky, emitting pieces of dense halos, intertwined Forming a huge light curtain.

The apprentices who were waiting on the mountainside immediately noticed the appearance of the light curtain, and all stretched their necks to look high into the sky, showing excited expressions.

"It's finally starting!"

"It's finally started. I'm impatient to wait."

"I don't know what form the trial is?"

"Look, there is a picture."

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the light curtain above the sky quickly appeared separated pictures one by one.

A figure appears in the center of each frame.

It was a wizard apprentice participating in the trial.

However, someone soon noticed something was wrong.

"Hey, why are there so many fewer people?"

"Indeed, I just saw 500 people on the top of the mountain, why are there less than left?"

"Where did the others go?"

Everyone was discussing and looking confused.

At this moment, an apprentice suddenly exclaimed: "Someone has come down the mountain."

Everyone quickly turned around and saw a group of sergeants carrying people down from the top of the mountain and rushing down the mountain with flying strides.

"It's those who took part in the trial!"

"What happened? Why are so many people unconscious?"

A curious apprentice quickly stepped forward to stop the sergeant, and soon learned what happened on the top of the mountain after asking.

As the news spread, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

What kind of operation is it to eliminate more than % of the participants before the trial officially begins?
For a while, everyone had a deeper understanding of the severity of the trial.

"It's a good thing I didn't go to participate, otherwise I would be ashamed now."

Gu Lin patted his chest with a happy expression on his face.

Before, she thought about whether to join in the fun, so she should exercise herself.

Now it seems that it's a good thing that I didn't have a fever and signed up to participate, otherwise she might be one of the people who would be carried down the mountain.

That would be a shame!

"Speaking of which, where is Pei Ze?"

While talking to himself, Gu Lin looked for Pei Ze on the light screen.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft hum from beside him.

She turned around, rolled her eyes at Yin Guang, and said, "Hey, don't be so stingy, okay? How long has it been since that incident? Why do you still dislike Pei Ze?"
