Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 102: Duel, Second-level Magical Tool, Mirror
"why is it you again?!"

The blond young man Velen recognized the boy who appeared with Beyoncé at a glance. He was the wizard of the seventh ring that Beyoncé tried to recruit on the airship when she came here.

"Have you been with us?"

Velen frowned, and his tone naturally revealed a hint of coldness.

"I happened to meet him nearby and pulled him in."

The beautiful witch Beyonce saw the bad intention in Velen's words and hurriedly stood in front of the boy, whispering hurriedly and anxiously: "Aren't we not strong enough?"

At this time, a silver-robed wizard quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words into Velen's ear.

Velen's eyes flickered continuously, and after a few breaths, his expression calmed down.

"Then I'll let you follow me for now."

He turned around, and Beyoncé saw his attitude change and introduced the boy.

"His name is Ronan, from the Seventh Circle"

Ronan briefly examined the group of magic circle wizards in front of him.

All of them have a core ring logo on their robes, and their strength has reached the level of a late-stage first-level wizard. Even the weakest one among them has a mental power fluctuation that is more than twice that of Ronan.

According to the female wizard named Beyonce who brought him in, this group of people all came from the Second Circle.

Benigo is right, the ranking of the seven cities in the Tour de France is based on strength.

The overall quality of these second-ring wizards is obviously higher than those of the seventh-ring wizards. Each of them not only has strength, but also has the tough temperament of years of magical battles.

Judging from the conversation they just had, it seems that they are heading into the "wet jungle" together just for the "brain-eating flower".

And it seems that they are not the only group of people who have the same goal.

"Well-informed, goal-oriented and well-planned, elites work together to act collectively..."

Ronan felt inexplicably emotional in his heart. Compared to these people, ordinary magic circle wizards really had nothing to fight for. He might as well go to bed as soon as possible.

No wonder when he was waiting for the airship, the middle-aged wizard of the seventh ring looked at him with that kind of eyes after learning that he was coming to the "Wet Jungle" and advised him not to make a wasted trip.

The blond young man Velen, who was the leader of this group of wizards, turned around and stopped looking at Ronan after he agreed to let him join. Half of the others withdrew their gazes after realizing that he was in the middle stage of level one, and the remaining half completely lost interest in him after Beyonce introduced that he was from the seventh ring.

Ronan didn't mind.

He followed the information given by the magic circle wizard with luminous moss on his feet to find this place. So far, the specific location of the brain-eating flower has not been determined, but he has sensed the aura of no less than ten late-stage first-level wizards.

Although he had the ambition to sweep away his peers, it was too foolish for him to rush out alone and become the target of public criticism when the goal and situation were unclear.

He did not forget that his opponents were not only the first-level wizards who could sense him in the open, but also those who might be hiding in the dark and attacking from Travis.

It is better to follow this group of people in the second magic circle first, and then make the next decision after thoroughly understanding the situation.

"Let's go and find Babers and the others."

After a brief discussion, the blond young man Velen made a decision and calmly led everyone in one direction.

Ronan followed closely behind a few people. The beautiful witch Beyonce was the only female among this group of Second Ring wizards. Judging from her temperament and dress, she seemed to be from an extraordinary background. She had a feeling of being out of touch with worldly affairs and was well protected by others.

Perhaps for this reason, she invited Ronan to join twice and was quite friendly to Ronan. She was even worried that Ronan would fall behind, and she would turn back from time to time to whisper to Ronan about the places where it was easy for him to fall into traps.

As the group moved forward, Ronan smelled an increasingly strong stench in the air, and the number of animal carcasses scattered in the rotten woodland beneath him gradually increased. Some of them looked like they had just died, lying on the ground with their bodies intact except for their heads.

"Shh-"

At a certain moment, Ronan suddenly felt the soil beneath his feet vibrate slightly, and there was a violent fluctuation of energy particles in front of him. All the wizards who were traveling with him stopped, and he heard Beyoncé remind him in a low voice: "We're here."

"Buzz--pop!"

Ronan looked up, and the outline of a huge rune array was reflected in his eyes.

Inside the magic circle's light shield that was as thick as a solid wall, countless dark purple vines were frantically attacking the inner wall of the magic circle.

They made sharp and piercing sounds in the air, and only left a vague afterimage when waving into the air. Soon after, large ripples were seen appearing on the crystal wall of the rune array.

Ronan thought of Laura first.

Unlike the magic vines that Laura originally controlled, these vines were covered with suction cup-like tentacles. They were thinner and more flexible than Laura's magic vines.

In the center of countless vines is the main body that appears particularly "petite" - it looks like a sunflower as a whole, with silver stems and leaves, but the round flower disk is dark purple, and the disk is covered with tiny thorns. The stamen in the middle looks very much like a human brain, and has a ferocious mouthpart.

"It's the brain-eating flower, that's for sure."

Ronan compared the characteristics of the brain-eating flower that Benigo had described to him, confirmed that it was correct, and took a deep breath.

Although the Brain-Eating Flower is a precious ingredient for magic potions, it itself belongs to the category of magical beasts, a plant-type magical beast.

Moreover, it is one of the more powerful first-level magical beasts, otherwise it would not feed on the brains of other magical beasts.

This brain-eating flower has entered its maturity stage. The fruit at the pistil that looks like a human brain exudes an extremely tempting smell all the time, and its temperament is extremely ferocious. However, under the suppression of a group of elite wizards in the magic circle, it is just helpless and furious.

Next to the rune array, there were roughly two groups of magic circle wizards gathered.

These wizards didn't pay much attention to the crazy brain-eating flower in the middle. Most of their attention was on each other.

The arrival of Ronan and his party attracted the attention of two groups of magic circle wizards.

After entering the scene, the blond young man Viren, who was their leader, took the initiative to walk towards the two groups of people. Two leading figures also walked out from the two groups of wizards.

The three of them gathered together and casually set up a soundproofing magic circle, as if they were discussing something in secret.

"If I take action now, what are the chances of success?"

Ronan stood in the crowd, staring at the brain-eating flower in the middle of the magic circle. His eyes moved, and he silently calculated the success rate of his actions in his mind.

If you want to get the brain-eating flower, the first step is to break the magic circle.

Seeing how this rune formation remained unmoved under the crazy attack of the first-stage late-stage Brain-Eating Flower, its defense is estimated to be close to or even at the second-stage level.

The second step is to pick the brain-eating flowers, during which there is a high probability that you will be attacked by the brain-eating flowers.

The third step is to leave quickly.

Of these three steps, the first two were not difficult for Ronan. The difficult part was how to escape unscathed from the joint siege of a group of elite wizards in the Circle of Magic after obtaining the Brain Flower.

Ronan counted and found that there were about thirty wizards at the late level one from the three forces on the field.

Even if he was very fast, the first two steps would still take at least a few seconds, and this amount of time was enough for a late-level wizard to cast a first-level spell.

In other words, if he decided to fight for it now, he would have to be prepared to be "bathed" in more than thirty first-level spells.

"Wait a little longer and see how these guys deal with it."

Ronan let out a breath and temporarily suppressed his restless heart.

After waiting for a while, the soundproofing array in the middle of the crowd was removed, and the blond young man Velen who had gone up to participate in the negotiations walked back expressionlessly.

All the wizards on the second circle immediately went forward. Ronan wanted to follow, but felt a strong sense of repulsion, so he "wisely" stood still and did not move.

"How about Velen? What's their attitude?"

As soon as the blond young man Velen stood still, a wizard who was traveling with him started to ask him.

Velen replied calmly, "They plan to use a duel to decide who owns the brain-eating flower. Each side will send eight people to duel in pairs. The side with the most wins can take the brain-eating flower."

"Eight people..."

The wizards subconsciously began to count their own men.

"Including the kid from the Seventh Ring that Beyoncé brought back, there are exactly eight of us."

"Yes."

Velen nodded and said calmly, "It is because of our consideration that the number of participants in the duel is set at eight."

“Is this considered caring?”

Some people's faces turned ugly, and they cast their eyes on a certain boy in the distance who was excluded from the group by them. "This boy's strength is only in the middle stage of the first level. If he is around, won't we definitely lose the game?"

Someone frowned, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him join. That way we would have had a better chance of winning..."

Beyoncé felt that these voices were more or less blaming her, and she couldn't help but stand up to defend herself, "No one knew it would be like this beforehand."

"No matter what form it takes, he means a lot to us."

"enough!"

Velen shouted in a low voice, stopping everyone from "condemning" him.

Weilun gave Beyonce a comforting look and said, "Beyonce's original intention was also for everyone's good."

Velen paused, glanced at the boy in the distance, and said slowly: "I'll see if I can arrange for this kid from the seventh ring to fight against Barbers or the leader of the third ring."

"They will definitely use the same method against you."

"Do you have any better idea?"

The person who refuted stopped talking, and everyone else fell silent as well.

Velen glanced at everyone and announced calmly, "Okay, everyone, get ready. Every battle ahead is very important to us."

Everyone nodded silently.

"How is it, have you decided on how to proceed?"

Seeing the wizards from the second circle returning one after another, Ronan casually asked Beyonce, with whom he had a pretty good relationship.

Beyoncé forced a smile at him. "They plan to decide the ownership of the Brain-Eating Flower by dueling. You will represent us at that time. If we win in the end, we will definitely give you a share."

duel?..
Ronan was slightly startled, a little surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, as members of the same French Circle, this seems to be the most acceptable way to maintain competition without damaging harmony.

Beyoncé looked at him and thought he was worried about the fight later, so she whispered to him, "It's okay. If you feel you can't win when it's your turn, just admit defeat. It's not shameful."

Ronan nodded and said nothing.

Soon, a large open space was cleared next to the rune circle where the Brain-Eating Flower was trapped.

Ronan has already learned that the other two groups of magic circle wizards competing with Velen and his men are from the first and third magic circles respectively.

The number of people in these two groups is larger than theirs. If they compete in a duel, they will be more relaxed in the arrangement and selection of personnel.

Ronan now understood why Velen and the others had become even colder towards him after the discussion. They probably thought he was holding them back.

Thinking that the wizards of the first duel had already appeared on the field, it had nothing to do with them.

The two wizards participating in the duel are from the first and third rings respectively.

Both were male wizards, with the strength of late level one. One was a metal wizard who also practiced fire magic, and the other was a metal wizard who also practiced ice magic.

The two of them were "incompatible like water and fire". As soon as they came on the field, they activated the talisman effect directly. The metal blades surrounded by silver flames and the metal spheres steaming with cold air kept colliding in the field, releasing wave after wave of aftermath of burning heat and icy cold.

Ronan stared at the wizard who appeared in the third ring. Although they were both ice wizards, the latter was obviously much more "orthodox" than him.

Not only is the metal medium used of ice attribute, but except for the [Silverization] talisman, the other two talismans also correspond to the ice element.

One of them should be the [Elemental Ring], and Ronan couldn't identify the other one. The effect seemed to be that it would bring a small "blizzard" with it when it attacked. [Blizzard] is a second-level spell, and the effect of this talisman is quite powerful.

The battle lasted for a short while, but ended with the victory of the wizard of the third circle.

The difference in strength between the two sides of the duel was actually not that big. As soon as the wizards on both sides came off the field, they quickly took out recovery potions and poured them into their mouths, looking as if they had consumed a lot of energy.

The second game was still the First Ring, but this time they were facing Ronan and his team.

A tall girl with fair skin and a ponytail walked out from the first magic circle. She was very young and looked a little nervous.

"Horgan, you go ahead."

Velen whispered, and a bald man with tough features slowly walked out from their side.

The bald wizard named Holgen has strong mental fluctuations and a mysterious and obscure aura. In the entire group of eight people, he is almost second only to Velen.

It was obvious that Velen was ready to win this battle.

"Hand of Black Light!"

As soon as the bald Holgen came on the stage, he directly activated the effect of the [Silverization] talisman. The metal medium under the robe penetrated his body, gathering a large amount of energy particles in mid-air and condensing into a large silver hand between illusion and reality. With five fingers spread out, it crushed layers of air and hit the ponytailed female wizard opposite.

[Hand of Black Light] is a relatively powerful offensive spell among the first-level metal spells. Its effect is to summon a semi-illusory hand of black energy to attack the opponent.

Bald Holgen has obviously practiced this spell to a very high level. The [Hand of Black Light] he summoned is not only extremely huge, but its energy fluctuations also far exceed those of ordinary first-level spells.

"Boom! Sizzle—"

The ponytailed witch flew into the air, chanting rapidly while constantly increasing the distance. She raised her hand and swung out a dazzling electric light, which, combined with her unique metal medium, she just managed to resist the ferocious silver energy hand. Unexpectedly, the bald man Horgen immediately followed with several [Hands of Black Light]. Although without the blessing of the metal medium, they were far inferior to the first [Hand of Black Light] in size and power, but the superposition and siege of several powerful hands and the overwhelming power of the energy particles they created still made the ponytailed witch's expression change slightly.

The people on Velen's side all looked determined when they saw this scene. They knew Holgen's strength best. As a pure metal wizard whose three soul sigils were all used to strengthen metal spells, when Holgen formed this magical momentum, the outcome of the battle was basically decided.

[Hand of Black Light] is a first-level spell that has been mastered by Horgen. Even if the ponytailed female wizard on the opposite side can withstand this attack, Horgen will continue to use more [Hand of Black Light] to attack her.

However, it seemed that the ponytailed witch was about to be defeated.

The latter gritted his teeth and took out a shining mirror magic tool in his hand.

The ponytailed witch's face turned pale in an instant, and her breath weakened in an instant.

An unprecedented wave of energy particles surged around her, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the mirror magic tool, followed by an indescribable red fire wave falling from the sky, even with a hint of the breath of the magic domain.

Several of Horgen's magical energy hands were burned to ashes by the horrifying fire wave at the first sight. The rolling red color poured down, causing all the wizards on the second and third magic circles to change color.

"Second-level magical tool?!"

Someone blurted out in disbelief.

Ronan's eyes narrowed, and his hands clenched suddenly under his robe.

However, he was not shocked that the ponytailed female wizard could produce a second-level magic tool.

But
The ponytailed female wizard held a mirror-like magic tool in her hand. The pattern on one corner of the tool was so similar to the broken mirror in his hand that could replicate the aura of other people.

Almost. Exactly the same!
