Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 142 Call Jia Xiu here! I'm telling you to call Jia Xiu here!

Regarding the elimination of seeded player Justus, aside from the gamblers breaking down in accusations of match-fixing and Ukmark's team conducting an on-the-spot review, most viewers focused on what spell Jashu had used.

Although the previous divine guidance spell was strange, at least we could roughly see the process of the spell taking effect.

In comparison, the spell that caused the other contestants to suddenly unleash their animalistic instincts and lose control of their emotions is far more outrageous.

"Could it be some kind of prop they redeemed before the match?"

"Impossible. The props were provided by Silvermoon Academy, and they're all elves. How could elves use such magic? Aren't they always elegant and aloof?"

"Exactly, if elves really knew this, would their population be so small?"

"Indeed, if you ask me, this Jia Xiu might be some kind of chosen one of the evil gods, a priest or something, and maybe he even has a bunch of succubi under his command, hehe."

"What are you laughing at about succubi? You think they're something good? They'll suck you dry."

"How could he possibly believe in an evil god? There are so many people watching, including members of the Holy Light Church. He's openly using the power of an evil god. Isn't he just asking for death? Why not choose a way to die a horrible death?"

"Then tell me, what did he use?"

"Doesn't he know the Radiant Knight's Divine Guidance Technique? Maybe it's the Radiant Knight's power."

"Bullshit! The Radiant Knight is a legitimate demigod of the Holy Light pantheon. Would He do something like that?"

“Narrow-minded, so narrow-minded. If this is a divine power related to fertility, then the god of fertility is a true god.”

"Makes sense."

"I think you're right..."

……

At this moment, Gillianis, who was also watching the game, sat very dignifiedly in the box. Beside her was Bubu, who was fighting against an imaginary enemy, and Margaret, who was excited, energetic and refreshed after mocking Lambert.

The VIP boxes were very large, some even having bedrooms, enough for big-spending spectators to comfortably watch all three days of matches.

Of course, the so-called big money was no big deal for Margaret and Gillianice, these two wealthy women.

"Sister, why are you acting so formal in the private room?"

"Margaret asked."

Gillianice replied softly, "The spectator area is a public place, but the boxes aren't completely isolated from the outside world, so we have to be careful."

If Margaret and Gillianis were not familiar with each other, she would surely think that this beautiful elf had a melodious and pleasant voice.

The problem is that she's very familiar with him; they drink and chat together every day, and they know each other very well.

Therefore, to Margaret, Gillianice's voice made her physically uncomfortable, giving her goosebumps and making her feel as if ants were crawling on her body.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore."

"Hey, by the way, do you know what kind of spell Jia Xiu used? The effect is a bit like vampire magic. Did he combine vampire magic with druidic bacterial manipulation?"

Gillianis said this entirely from an academic perspective, after all, she had studied vampire magic for a long time.

But Margaret reacted negatively.

This brought back some not-so-good, yet somewhat good, memories for her.

"I don't know, haha, I don't know at all. What vampire magic? I don't know any of it, I've never even been exposed to it. Yes, I've never even been exposed to it."

"Well, if you haven't had any contact with them, then you haven't. Why are you blushing?"

"Because the boss's mentor is lying! A true knight knows how to distinguish lies!" Bubu said, sheathing his sword after finishing the battle with the imaginary enemy.

"Bubu!"

……

In the Great Library of Celdarion, Justina, a demigod disguised as an ordinary knight, is consulting books on divine manipulation.

Even demigods need to learn.

Originally, she wanted to go directly to Jia Xiu and ask if all those prayers about divine guidance were related to him.

It turned out that Jia Xiu was still in the game.

So she had no choice but to study the magic book herself first.

While conducting the research, I felt incredibly insignificant, as if I, a demigod, had been manipulated by humans.

Although she couldn't respond to the prayers that suddenly appeared, because the recipients were never satisfied with her responses, this little bit of faith was still faith, and every bit of it was precious to her.

I can only learn as I go here, hoping to find a solution on my own.

Controllable divine guidance techniques.

There must be something wrong with him to have come up with such a strange divine guidance technique.

She had already flipped through several books, but hadn't found a single clue, and the Holy Light Church certainly didn't have such magic.

If we really can't find it, we can only wait until dawn when the Spellcasters' Association opens and ask them.

It wasn't easy for her to become a demigod.

Justina closed another magic book that had yielded no useful information and slumped back in her chair, feeling utterly defeated.

The only thing that comforted her was that the library's elf staff were quite enthusiastic, even answering her questions while on the night shift, which was unlike how she remembered elves.

Who taught them this?

Just then, she suddenly heard a prayer.

The prayers about divine guidance had barely subsided when another batch arrived.

Why does it come in waves?

"Great Knight of Light, I... I am not happy with my married life, and I hope... I hope you can help me."

"what?"

Good news, it's not a prayer-based spiritual technique.

Bad news, this is even harder to understand than divine guidance magic.

Why would you seek her out if you're unhappy in your marriage? She's a Radiant Knight, a demon slayer, good at combat, and can even manage basic spells like Divine Guidance. But, but what the hell is this "marital life" thing?

What does this have to do with her?

They've worshipped the wrong god.

With her limited imagination, Justina could only think of one possibility: that the believer had chosen the wrong god to worship.

But it doesn't matter, she can accept it. Although she doesn't know which god she's being mistaken for, having more faith is always a good thing, and she doesn't have to respond to this prayer anyway.

The key issue is that I don't know how to respond.

Just when she thought it was just a normal little misunderstanding.

"Great Radiant Knight, my girlfriend and I have been dating for six months, but she still won't allow me to..."

Justina narrowed her eyes, realizing that the problem might be more complicated than it seemed.

“Great Radiant Knight, I have been married for five years and have always wanted a child…”

“Great Radiant Knight, it seems I’ve lost interest in that area since I turned forty. Is there any way to restore my virility? If possible, I will devote myself to you with utmost devotion for the rest of my life.”

I'm happy that you believe in me.

But how do you regain your former glory? Who knows how to help you regain your former glory!

Will the tactic of "if you can't cheer up, I'll cut you down" actually work?
“Great Radiant Knight, ever since my husband turned forty, he seems to have lost his touch…”

Justina was shocked.

Are you two a couple?
This is a TV series!

“I only need him twice a day, is that a lot? But he can’t even do that, and he swears he hasn’t been seeing anyone else. If he really hasn’t, then let him regain his abilities. If possible, I will believe in you with utmost devotion for the rest of my life.”

Justina has rarely felt so powerless, both in her human life and her divine life.

The last time was probably when she died in battle, but even on the day she died, her despair wasn't much greater than it is now.

Prayers that go straight to the lowest level of morality are still coming one after another.

Now she knew that this might not be a case of mistaking God, or perhaps it wasn't a small misunderstanding, but a huge one. She couldn't answer any of these prayers.

My major is completely unrelated to my job.

However, after much thought, she responded to the wife's prayer.

"Let your husband go. It's not easy for him to live to forty. The human body has its limits..."

After responding, she temporarily closed the channel for listening to prayers.

Listening to it too much gives me a headache.

I never imagined that she would one day refuse to listen to prayers.

After calming down, she began to think about what had caused the two strange events to happen that day.

Although her intelligence did not support her in making rigorous logical deductions, an answer was still obvious.

Jia Xiu, it can only be him.

I don't know how he did it, but it's impossible for anyone else to do it.

So, relying on endlessly drawing divine power was just a basic operation for him?
The things he can pull off seem to far exceed his expectations.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing...?

……

The finals of the Five Universities Championship are still ongoing. On the third day, the safe zone began to shrink towards the very center, and the final round was approaching.

Starting from the second day, after Jia Xiu began to eliminate opponents one after another, the remaining contestants suddenly felt a great sense of crisis and stopped trying to stay in the safe zone. Instead, they were more willing to take the initiative.

It's always better to go first than to let someone else go first.

Therefore, the Silvermoon Forest was filled with chaotic battles. On the first day of the competition, most players tried their best to avoid fighting.

The next day, everyone started fighting again as much as possible.

So much so that by the last day, before the final rounds even began to close, only the last two teams remained on the field.

Nearly twenty people were ambushed on the hiking route. Jia Xiu and his companions had so much supplies that they couldn't take them all with them and could only selectively discard some of them.

And from the very beginning, they chose the very center of the forest, attacking anyone who came, successfully eliminating twelve challengers, and still occupying the very center of the safe zone. Led by the Holy Son of the Holy Light Church, Jacob, the five-person Church team...

This means that the final champion can only be either the Saint Delos Spellcaster Academy or the Saint Light Theological Seminary.

For the event organizers, this was the second-best result after Pokémon winning the championship.

Jacob, the Holy Son of the Vatican, a popular idol.

Jia Xiu was the dark horse of the competition, and the kind of dark horse that was completely unexpected.

What does this mean?
It's a battle for internet traffic!
If our own students can't win the championship, then maximizing viewership is the best outcome.

Organizing such a large-scale competition at such high costs, we must try our best to recoup some of the costs.

What if I can still make a profit?

The seminary teachers and contestants were all very confident. In their view, it was only natural for the Holy Son to compete for the championship, and it was even more reasonable for him to win.

Compared to the people at the seminary, Saint-Deros's family and friends were much more nervous.

Logically speaking, a bunch of timid students from the San Delos Academy shouldn't be nervous about the competition results.

They were happy every time Jia Xiu moved up a rank, until he was in contention for the championship.

Well, I had impure thoughts.

I didn't have high expectations for winning the championship; I was just watching the game for fun, so of course I wasn't nervous.

There is now hope of winning the championship.

I'm so nervous I'm numb.

Those colleges have dozens or even hundreds of champions, so one more won't make a difference. If Jia Xiu really wins the championship, it will be a huge boost of 16.7% to the history of competitions at Saint Delos Academy.

Margaret, in particular, was too afraid to watch as the safe zone on the projected screen gradually shrank, and the distance between Jasshu's team and Jacob's team grew closer and closer.

He paced back and forth in the private room, as if he were going to wear a ditch out of the floor.

He kept asking questions as he walked.

"Bubu, did they run into each other?"

"No."

"Thank goodness, Bubu, have you run into them yet?"

"not yet."

"Okay, okay, Bubu, what about now?"

"Um, mentor, Bubu thinks that if you ask every two seconds, you might as well just look at it yourself. The boss once said, 'A knight must still love life after recognizing its true nature.'"

"I'm not a knight! Hey, that's right, did Jash really say that?"

"No, the boss said it was something like Man or Lan, but Bubu didn't remember."

"Okay, face the truth, face the truth, and still love, still love."

Margaret took a deep breath and turned to look at the projection.

In the footage, Jia Xiu's team remained stuck at the edge of the shrinking safe zone, slowly advancing in as if they were in no hurry at all.

Margaret panicked, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get out of here, or we'll get poisoned by the fog!"

"Mentor, didn't you just say you didn't want the boss and Jacob to run into each other?"

“But we didn’t make them slow enough to almost get poisoned!” Margaret said, pointing to the projection.

Bubu wasn't nervous at all. If there was anyone who trusted Jia Xiu the most, it could only be Bubu.

Unconditional trust.

"Maybe the boss actually wants to be poisoned?"

"Huh? How is that possible?"

After saying that, Margaret realized that if it were Jasshu, then it might actually be true...

……

At this moment, in the Silvermoon Forest.

The safe zone has been shrunk to a radius of only 100 meters, which is also the final size of the final circle designed by the organizers. Any smaller and the spellcasters will have little room to maneuver.

After all, ranged attacks are the primary combat method for spellcasters.

The next time the toxic fog shrinks, it will cover the entire forest, leaving no safe place. Whoever is eliminated last will be the ultimate champion.

Now, Jassi and his group, along with Jacob's team, can see each other with the naked eye.

"come on."

Jacob was thrilled.

He had been waiting for this moment for far too long. In the previous two days of competition, none of the competitors who came to the center area had put much pressure on him.

The only one who could potentially threaten him, Justus, was sent away by Jasshu on the very first day.

He got into position, ready for his glorious battle.

Jia Xiu moved a little closer.

Jacob had begun channeling the spell, preparing to cast it.

Is it invisible bacteria, a strange healing technique, or that burly man who can't be hit charging ahead first?

He had carefully studied every public battle record of Jia Xiu and knew his habits very well. No matter what kind of fighting style he used, he had prepared a countermeasure.

However, Jia Xiu suddenly stopped at the edge of the safe zone.

“Come here!” Jia Xiu said.
