Chapter 175 174. Dragon’s Confinement

After a night of sailing, the magic ship sailed into the deep sea area.

The sea water turned into a rich black color, even under the sun, it was dim. The sea surface and the sky were clearly distinct. The sky was still cloudless and deep blue, but the sea surface was like a pool of stagnant water that had long solidified, filled with fear.

of silence.

The deep sea water in this world is not just as simple as having extremely high salinity, it also has complex extraordinary properties, which are manifested in astonishing corrosiveness.

Imagine that 80% of the starry sky pollution that fell from the star filter net fell into the ocean. These starry sky pollution are like medicinal herbs soaked in a wine jar, slowly releasing their own pollution and extraordinary properties. As long as time

If it lasts long enough, the starry sky pollution will one day "dissolve" in the sea water, integrating itself with the ocean.

Just take a handful of seawater from the deep sea, and you can detect several toxins, uncontrollable mutation factors, and weird magical effects. This is enough to prove how powerful and survivable the sea dwellers living on the bottom of the sea are.

.

Fortunately, Captain Berkeley, a nine-ring metal battle wizard, was here. He and his magic ship kept the discomfort caused by the deep sea out of the ship. Passengers were able to enjoy the journey in the deep sea in a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere.

"Dear passengers, we are now located in the deep sea 315 kilometers east of Midian Island. This deep sea is called the "Black Fold Sea" and is divided into 80 sub-sea areas. Each sub-sea area has its own fog threshold.

"The speed of the magic ship is now 14 kilometers per hour. In the next 21 days, we will cross the Black Fold Sea and enter the "Sword Sea", the open sea area west of Balder's Gate. If the weather is clear and the view is excellent, passengers

At noon on the 21st day, we will see Balder's Gate rising from the sea in the east. It is a civilization monument left over from the previous era, shaped like a magnificent sword inserted into the earth. I wish you all a happy journey."

The magic strips above the streets of the town on the ship are playing Captain Berkeley's words on a loop.

Li Nuo raised his head and glanced at the dynamic text on the strip, then took Dinas on his arm and stepped into the arena door opened by the magic servant.

The arena is located on the southwest side of the town on the ship, near the stern of the ship.

Its appearance resembles a short, fat cylinder. From the outside, it appears to be only about twenty meters wide and more than thirty meters high.

Only after stepping into it can you discover that there is something else going on.

A magic space covering an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters was fixed on the magic ship and became the venue for the competition.

A circle of spectator seats surrounds the octagonal cage in the center of the venue.

The seats in the auditorium are plain and simple, just single wooden chairs that are relatively comfortable to sit on.

That octagonal cage has something to say. It is a magical creation, with a base and fence made of strong magical metal, and an enchanted fence net that can absorb magical energy.

With the protection of the enchanted fence, spectators can safely watch the dazzling game.

Li Nuo and Dinas sat down in the auditorium reserved for contestants.

His eyes focused on the enchanted fence net, and a deconstruction spell was thrown out.

【system information:】

[You are about to use deconstruction on "Enchanted Fence Net (Level 60)."]

[It is expected to consume 60,000 energy points to achieve 100% deconstruction completion]

Li Nuo nodded secretly.

He should be able to get the 60,000 points of energy reward. As a contestant, it is reasonable for him to throw spells on the enchanted fence because his opponent avoids his attacks.

Looking away, Li Nuo looked at the contestants who were taking their seats in the audience one after another.

The Bahrain Competition only allows Extraordinaries of Level 5 and below to participate. The number of matches and opponents for the contestants are completely determined by the competition system. A wizard like Li Nuo who only has one level of strength on the surface is likely to encounter someone who comes.

Second-ring, third-ring, and even fifth-ring wizards join in the fun.

Then wouldn’t the five-ring wizards be able to win all the rewards if they participate?

No, this won't happen.

Before entering the magic octagonal cage, contestants will wear something called a "confinement collar" on their wrists to suppress their strength to the level of the first ring.

——Yes, yes. The collar is worn on the hand, not around the neck. It is somewhat insulting to put this kind of torture instrument with leather buckles and magic gems on the necks of contestants. So the contestants

Generally, it is worn as a watch on the wrist, except for some players with special hobbies.

"The History of the Unas Ring" records that the "Confinement Collar" was a magical product of the previous era. Most of the human wizards at that time were slaves of the Dragon Clan. Today, the Dragon Clan is basically gone and only occasionally appears in the Whirling Continent.

Human wizards have flourished, spreading the fire of civilization to the world, and using the shackles imposed on their ancestors as magic props for competition.

Anyone who knows the origin of the "Confinement Collar" will lament the prosperity of human wizard civilization and the vicissitudes of the world.

Li Nuo is no exception.

But his focus was on the identity of the "imprisonment collar" rather than its historical connotation.

He had heard of this thing before, and now he finally saw it in action.

Bahrain Arena staff, who maintained order at the scene, distributed "confinement collars" to each contestant.

The collar has a number in the form of a label that is affixed to the belt.

Li Nuo's player number is No. 116.

He held the collar and gently rubbed his fingers on the magic gemstone of the belt. A tingling sensation like an electric shock came from his fingertips.

Lines of systematic text quickly emerged in Li Nuo's mind.

【system information:】

【You have come into contact with the "Soul Stasis Gem".】

【Carry this gemstone with you and bring it into contact with your skin, you will get the following effects:】

[1. "Consciousness Blockade", your consciousness will no longer be able to leave the body and enter any magical space, such as the Court of Silence. 】

[2. "Psionic Suppression". The ancient dragon clan called magic and various extraordinary abilities "psionic". They discovered that the soul is the key for extraordinary people to mobilize extraordinary abilities. This gem has its own "psionic suppression" effect.

, will effectively suppress the restlessness at the soul level, thereby reducing the wearer's extraordinary strength.】

【Notice:】

["Psychic Suppression" only targets extraordinary abilities driven by the soul. "Vitality" and "Physical Power", the second of the three original powers, will not be affected by "Psychic Suppression".]

[Any spell or skill that can be cast with "soul strength" is driven by the soul. 】

[Please host check the skill list and wear this gem with caution.]

Li Nuo noticed the last line of system text.

He pulled up his skill list and checked it carefully.

There are 18 death spells, all of which can be cast with soul strength.

There are 12 psychic spells, all of which can be cast with soul strength.

A general-purpose spell, "Magic Shield", can be cast with soul power.

Overall, only the twilight breathing method and "Power Burst" obtained from "Soul Casting" do not require the consumption of soul strength. These two skills only use energy points.

This should be the difference between "soul driven" and "physical power driven". Skills driven by the soul cannot be separated from soul energy, and can also be replaced by other energies. Skills driven by physical power do not require a soul at all.

energy.

As for skills driven by vitality...

Li Nuo rummaged through his knowledge reserves and found the Eidolon spell deconstructed from Fugudia's relics. This branch of spells involves vitality. But unfortunately, all Eidolon spells must be used

to soul energy, or blood magic that replaces soul energy. They still belong to the category of skills driven by the soul.

Therefore, so far, Li Nuo has not obtained skills that are purely driven by vitality.

After wearing the "Confinement Collar", "Power Burst" will become his trump card.

Then can I use "Power Burst" to steal the chicken?

Li Nuo faced the collar in his hand and blinked.

He raised his head and glanced back and forth at the contestants. Most of them were wizards, and a few were strong men wearing armor.

After those strong men in armor put on the collars, they bared their teeth and laughed cheerfully. Apparently they found that the rumored "confinement collar" had no effect on their muscles. They looked at the wizard with a hint of joking, and

It's like looking at a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

After the wizard contestants put on the collars, discomfort appeared on their faces, but they basically maintained their composure and calmness, with no signs of panic. This shows that even if some of the wizards' strength is suppressed, they still have sufficient confidence and the ability to master brute force.

A strong man in armor is tough.

Li Nuo combined the magic knowledge he recently learned and saw some clues.

The mainstream power system in this world is wizards. Even combat wizards with only one level of strength can fight back and forth with third-level, fourth-level, or even fifth-level brute force extraordinarys. This is similar to a consensus.

The presence.

Such an unbalanced system of extraordinary beings is all caused by the wizard's magical power being too powerful.

But it’s right to think about it.

This world is not made by any game company, and there is no need to pursue a balance between professions. The fact that wizards are so strong is the result of natural development.

Li Nuo put on the necklace with a normal expression and placed the gemstone close to his left wrist.

The system sent a reminder that all his spell skills were forcibly reduced to level 10. While the power of the spells decreased, the upgrade rewards for the entire ten levels did not change. "Two Fingers of Death" were still "Two Fingers of Death" and did not degenerate into

"The Finger of Death".

In addition, his "Spirit" attribute value temporarily dropped to 30 points, which is the level of a wizard who has just entered the first level.

Li Nuo threw out the Deconstruction Technique and looked at it.

The "Soul Stasis Gem" on his wrist is level 50, produced by the Wizard Law Enforcement Department in Unas Circle. It was originally a torture tool for escorting criminals, but somehow it fell into the hands of the Bahrain Tournament.

The level 50 "Soul Stasis Gem" can suppress the strength of Extraordinaries whose level does not exceed level 50.

Li Nuo needs to spend 15,000 energy points to undo it.

Li Nuo considered the possibility of breaking the gem during the battle and was not in a hurry to break it.

While he was thinking secretly, Dinas pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered:

"Look, I found that there are quite a few gray wizards participating in the competition. You should be more careful. Many gray wizards don't follow the ordinary path and may master strange spells."

"Well, okay. Don't worry, Dinas." Li Nuo came back to his senses, took the other person's hand and rubbed it gently to show comfort.

After waiting for a while, all the contestants arrived and the auditorium was full.

The staff in gray robes began to draw lots. The method of drawing lots in the wizarding world is not complicated. The staff held the metal box with the number plates and walked past the contestants.

Since the contestants' numbers are not disclosed, the metal box is airtight and can block detection spells. All contestants select their opponents blindly without knowing the numbers of other contestants.

After the lottery is completed, dynamic magic words are refreshed on the magic bulletin board, showing the contestants' numbers.

The competitive rules of the game are very simple, using a classic round-robin system. Both sides enter the octagonal cage and decide the winner within 30 minutes, subject to the surrender of either party. The winner gets points and the loser loses points. After all contestants compete once,

, the top 16 players with points will advance.

In the vast deep sea, idleness is idle. Passengers are also happy to have games to watch, so they have no complaints about the round-robin competition system, which is relatively time-consuming.

The same is true for the contestants. As far as Li Nuo is concerned, the ranking of the competition is second, and obtaining energy value through passive deconstruction is the first. The cycle system just meets his needs.

The game begins.

The first game is a duel between two wizards. One is proficient in lightning magic, and the other is proficient in rock and earth magic. The thunder and lightning wizard releases a large number of lightning balls flying around in the octagonal cage, and the rock and earth wizard uses "rock and earth armor" to protect him.

himself, and counterattacked with "Ground Stab".

The lightning flashed, the rock and soil surged, and the ground thorns followed the footsteps of the lightning wizard and pierced continuously.

This scene made the ordinary tourists in the audience excited. Many families traveling with their families across the ocean heard the screams of their children.

The wizards watching the competition commented on the fighting scene in the octagonal cage. The non-wizard contestants looked solemn, and the level of lightning spells and rock and earth spells still caused a lot of pressure on them.

Li Nuo didn't care about the fighting process.

He took out the magic books that he had not yet finished and read to pass the time.

Dinasi was much more serious than Li Nuo. She took out a small book seriously and helped Li Nuo record the strengths and advantages of each contestant.

About two hours later, Li Nuo was woken up by Dinas while reading.

"It's your turn, Lee."

"Oh, okay." Li Nuo smiled at the concerned Dinasi and used "Death Flight" to fly into the octagonal cage.

Li Nuo's opponent is a witch wearing an aqua blue magic robe.

The name, height, origin, and three-dimensional details are unknown.

Li Nuo only cares about how much energy the other party can bring to him.

A deconstruction spell was thrown out casually.

【system information:】

[The deconstruction technique will be used on the “four-ring battle wizard with an unknown name”. 】

[It is estimated that 70,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion]

Well, not bad, 70,000 energy points. Unexpectedly, I encountered a fat fish as soon as I came up.

Li Nuo landed on the playing field, transformed back into human form, activated the "Breath of the Dead" and entered the skeleton form.

A skeleton appeared on the playing field, inevitably causing a commotion in the audience.

A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door.

Ordinary people who have not mastered the power of magic are confused as to why a handsome living person can turn into a skeleton.

The wizard who has mastered the power of magic is accurately recording Li Nuo's spell-casting habits, spells and energy characteristics.

The witch in front of Li Nuo seemed to be a little disgusted with the death wizard.

At the moment when Li Nuo showed off the death spell, she knitted her eyebrows together, raised her chin slightly and asked:

"Are you the one who sued for death?"

The magic robe worn by this witch bears the emblem of Hotams Deep Sea Academy, which is an arm stretched out from under the rippled water surface, with the palm of the hand facing up, holding up a pearl.

As an academic wizard, her knowledge was broader than that of ordinary wizards, and she could easily "recognize" Li Nuo's identity from the basic style of the magic robe.

Li Nuo knew that his clothes, which were modified from the robes of the Death Council, could not avoid knowledgeable wizards, so he did not pay attention.

He didn't make any response, just stared at the other person with empty eyes.

Talking trash to each other is not a necessary pre-fight part of a competitive game.

Seeing that Li Nuo had no intention of talking to his opponent, the gray-robed workers in the audience immediately closed the octagonal cage and announced the start of the game.

The witch pulled out a wand made of coral and sprayed thick white mist from the tip of the wand, covering her half of the field with mist.

Li Nuo quietly turned on "Life and Death Tracking" and accurately identified the opponent's exact location from the thick fog.

Li Nuo intends to hone his "magic control proficiency".

He held the death thread wand in his hand and carefully guided the death energy through his body and into the wand.

Black rays shot out from the tip of the staff and landed in the thick white fog.

"Buzz."

The sound of the ray is very gentle, like electrophoresis. The appearance of the ray is no longer the ferocious black lightning, but becomes as thin as black hair.

If you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you will find that this hair-thin energy ray is actually made up of two even thinner rays.

Under Li Nuo's careful control, "Two Fingers of Death" appeared on the playing field in the form of "One Finger of Death".

["Magic Control Mastery" skill experience +2 points, now 132/1000]

The system updates skill data simultaneously.

Sure enough, using "Two Fingers of Death" to train passive skills is much better than using "Magic Shield" to train.

Li Nuo's wrist moved continuously, shooting out dozens of black rays.

There was a strange scene in the audience.

Ordinary people who didn't know what was going on were a little restless. They talked in low voices, wondering what Li Nuo was doing. The spells of this skeleton wizard were really crude, and they were far less beautiful than the previous games where the magic was radiant.

The wizards have fallen into a state of brain shutdown.

High-level spells such as "Finger of Death" are basically known to every wizard. The most obvious feature of this spell is that it can instantly cast a death ray without casting a spell or chanting.

All the extraordinary people identified the spell that Li Nuo was casting now, which was the "Finger of Death" that could only be used with the authorization of the lecturer.

The "Finger of Death" he has released so far is weak, probably only level 1, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is him trying to make his opponent retreat.

A person wearing a ring of wizard robes casually throws out a handful of level 10 "Finger of Death". Is this game still worth fighting?

"Hey! Referee! What's going on! Is this person really a first-level wizard? How can he use the "Finger of Death" without restriction!?"

The contestants in the audience shouted loudly and questioned the organizers of the competition.

"Yes! Did you let in a sixth-level wizard who can freely cast high-level spells?!"

"You want to siphon off the bonuses and manipulate behind the scenes. That's not how it works, right? Do you really think we are blind and can't see that this is the "finger of death"?"

The staff of the Bahrain Athletic Competition looked at each other and all looked at the referee's box.

There are six people on the referee's bench.

Mevler was invited by the organizer to serve as a referee and sat on the far left side of the referee's seat.

Among the remaining five people, four are sixth-ring wizards of the Unas Ring like Maeve Le, and have relatively prominent identities and pasts.

Sixth-level wizards have greater autonomy in using high-level spells, and they can use high-level spells a limited number of times per day.

Facing Li Nuo, who fired the "Finger of Death" like a water gun, the five six-ring wizards on the referee's bench focused on the Bahrain Competition Director in the center of the referee's bench.

This supervisor was on the fat side and looked like a bloated stone pillar when he sat on the chair. His magic robe was bulging due to the fat underneath his clothes.

His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his green bean-like eyes were embedded in the eye sockets. His dark green hair was fixed with hairspray and combed into a greasy slick.

"The contestant No. 116 who cast "Finger of Death" boarded the ship with Ms. Maeve." The competition director's face was calm, without any emotion. He looked at the edge of the referee's table and turned the topic to Maeve.

On the body:

"The strength level registered on the ticket of contestant No. 116 is a battle wizard. As for why he can cast "Finger of Death" so easily, I think Ms. Mevler should be able to give us a reasonable explanation."

"Yes, I know why this is. It has something to do with his extraordinary characteristics..."

Maeve Le looked at Filia and Betty who were sitting in the audience next to them, who were looking at her curiously.

With a polite smile, Mevle explained the reason to Filia, the referee and others.

The soul contract she signed with Li Nuo only mentioned that she would protect Li Nuo's secret before leaving Midas Island, but did not say that she would help Li Nuo keep it secret after leaving Midas Island.

Therefore, Maeve Le now uses extraordinary characteristics as an excuse to explain why Li Nuo can freely cast the "Finger of Death" spell and does not violate the soul contract.

After listening to Mevler's explanation, the competition director pondered for a few seconds. There was no change in expression on his face, just like the water surface hidden at the bottom of a well.

"There is no problem with this contestant and he can continue to compete."

The athletics director waved to his gray-robed staff and said to them:

"After this game is over, announce that contestant No. 116 has the extraordinary characteristic of "Magic Knowledge" and emphasize that he is accompanied by a witch. Anyone who defeats him will receive an additional bonus of 2,000 gold coins. If

If contestant No. 116 gets the top ten results, the competition reward will be distributed to the 11th place. The reward for the 11th place is the same as the 10th place. Also, during the lunch break, I would like to give a message to contestant No. 116.

Want to see him."

"Yes, supervisor." The gray-robed staff member ran away.

The competition director has obviously been immersed in organizing competitions for many years, and he quickly seized the opportunity of the contradiction and formulated a reward plan to bring the atmosphere of the competition to a higher level.

The referees on the bench had no objections to this.

The referee's bench fell silent.

The athletics director looked toward the corner of the playing field, cast a few vague glances, and nodded invisibly.

Everyone's attention was focused on the Octagon, and no one noticed the athletic director's actions.
