89. Just pretend you didn’t see it!
One side gave the order, and all sides took action. Almost as soon as Yu's instructions were issued, everyone in Tianyu City immediately began to act. Zeya and Tianling laid out a huge computing network to assist Yu Yuan in contacting Yu Huan, while Tong and Xiaoya set off without thinking and prepared to go to the Demon Realm.
As for Yu, it was even simpler. He turned around and returned to the Mirror Organization, then found Zero and said only one sentence:
"Go and cause trouble for Baiyin, just say it or not!"
After saying this, he turned around and left. After a few seconds of silence, Ling followed him silently. However, Yu seemed to not care at all and just walked on his own. He led his men directly out of the headquarters and disappeared in the vast ruins.
……
"Now begins the Mage Tower Class Mage selection exam. There are a total of 172 participants, including 131 Class Mage candidates and 41 Class Mage Advanced candidates. Now, I declare... the exam begins. Candidates, please enter the competition venue in order!"
Time passed quietly without her noticing, and the level mage assessment of the Mage Tower came quietly while Yu Huan was analyzing the current situation. After being brought to the venue by Shui Meng and Shi Lei, Yu Huan was actually still thinking. In order to contact Yu Yuan and others, she even neglected to find Shi Lei to confirm the inexplicable change of the other party that day.
It seemed that they could see that Yu Huan was worried, so both Shui Meng and Shi Lei were very smart and did not disturb her. Instead, they let her think alone while silently waiting for Yu Huan to tell them what her troubles were.
On the first step of the Mage Tower, after the announcement of a class mage referee, everyone immediately filed into their respective groups, and Shi Lei, Shui Meng and Yu Huan naturally walked into the class mage assessment group.
There were a total of 131 contestants, and this was only the number of apprentices from the Phantom Ice Tower. This showed how huge the flow of people was. After entering the portal dedicated to the Dao Competition, the next second, what appeared before everyone was undoubtedly a series of huge walls... Densely distributed in front of everyone, just the first glance was enough to tell the origin of these walls.
"maze?"
Yu Huan, who sensed the changes in the surrounding environment, immediately raised his head and gave a quick answer after taking a look around. Shui Meng and Shi Lei beside him just nodded when the referee's voice from the sky suddenly rang out: The first round of the assessment: Maze Battle!
"Participating mages need to search for the exit within the maze. Finding the exit and exiting will qualify. Of course, no magical methods are prohibited within the maze, nor are attacks on each other. The only requirement is that if you are defeated or call for help, you will fail the assessment and be teleported out of the maze. Please remember this!"
The rules are very simple, but also very cruel, even ambitious... If Yu Huan and the other three are ruthless, maybe they can kill all the more than 100 examinees except the three of them. Then, they will not only advance naturally, but they will not even need to participate in the subsequent assessments to be directly promoted to a high-level magician.
Of course, this kind of thing is obviously impossible. After all, it is not realistic to kill all the people in such a complicated maze. Even Yu Huan obviously cannot do it.
"Let's go and find a way!"
After learning about the rules of the competition, Yu Huan couldn't help but put those trivial matters behind him. After nodding slightly to Shi Lei and Shui Meng beside him, the three of them immediately groped carefully in the maze to find a way out.
No one knew how big the huge maze was. Anyway, Yu Huan and the other two walked for more than an hour, and they were all walking in the same direction, but they didn't find any way out. Instead, they met many mage apprentices.
However, perhaps because of the three's notoriety, after seeing them, the magic apprentices basically turned around and left without even thinking, without even giving Yu Huan and the others any chance to stay.
This made Yu Huan feel a little depressed, and he could only continue on his journey in boredom.
The maze is so large that you can't even find a way out after turning a few corners. It's very likely that you won't be able to find the way you came here. And it was in such a huge maze that Yu Huan was surprised to find that the entire maze... can actually be moved!
That's right, that is to say, the maze is changing every moment and every second, which makes the already difficult maze even more troublesome.
In response to this, Yu Huan thought about it for about a second and decisively chose... to turn on the auxiliary!
"Om~~"
A light blue system screen instantly appeared before him, and Yu Huan immediately gave the order:
"System, scan the surrounding area!"
The system has a built-in map scanning function, which can scan all the surrounding areas centered on Yu Huan. After hearing Yu Huan's command, a blue light instantly swept across every surrounding area, and almost instantly a clear map appeared in front of the three people.
"Isn't this... not good?"
Looking at the incredibly clear map in front of her, the good girl Shi Lei asked with some uneasiness. Even Shui Meng raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly disagreeing with Yu Huan's approach. However, Yu Huan shook his head without even thinking:
"What's wrong with it? The system is also part of my strength... No, it should be said that it is also part of the magical girl system. What's wrong with me using it? Besides, no one else can see it anyway!"
Having said this, leaving Shi Lei unable to refute, Yu Huan immediately turned to look at Shui Meng. The explanation did not require any profound principles, but was very simple:
"It can help us find our opponents as quickly as possible!"
In one sentence, Shui Meng instantly stood on Yu Huan's side without hesitation!
"..."
The system was invisible to outsiders except those who had signed the contract with him. Therefore, even if Yu Huan openly cheated, it would definitely not be pointed out... well, it wouldn't be pointed out by those who couldn't see the system. As for those who could see the system...
"This little girl is so brazen about cheating. She really needs a lesson!"
Outside a magic crystal, Ye Lina looked at the pale blue light screen in front of her students and felt a little amused. After signing the contract with Yu Huan, she naturally learned about the existence of the system from Yu Huan. Now seeing Yu Huan taking it out and using it openly, she didn't know whether she should pretend not to see it as a teacher or point it out directly as an invigilator!
But after thinking about it carefully, no one could see the system screen anyway, and if she pointed it out, she might be accused of targeting students. So after thinking about it, Ye Lina finally made a decisive choice... to remain silent.
Just pretend you didn’t see it!
90. Dark history?
With the system light screen, it is obviously much easier to find the route of the maze. Of course, this does not mean that Yu Huan and his companions can easily walk out of the maze. After all, the maze is changing every moment. The walls that seem to be constantly teleporting will block the three people's way forward from time to time. Not to mention that no matter how deep the maze is, as the three people continue to go deeper... endless traps will emerge one after another.
"Boom~~"
A huge fire dragon soared into the sky, and beside it was Shi Lei, who was being held by Yu Huan. Looking at the gradually dissipating fiery red magic circle in front of her, Shi Lei couldn't help but reveal an expression of relief, while Yu Huan gritted his teeth and said:
"No need to think about it, this must be the work of that teacher!"
A mischievous trap... A method that is impossible for those respected old magicians to use except for their own teacher!
"Hehe~~ It's me, so... as my student, please don't embarrass yourself!"
"There...someone is there!"
After the fire dragon trap, the walls that originally surrounded the area on three sides disappeared instantly, and were replaced by three different passages. At the same time, several figures also appeared in them. When they saw Yu Huan and the other two in the middle, they immediately raised their magic wands and prepared to launch an attack.
"Silver Sword!"
"Shuashuashua~~"
"Ahhhhhh~~"
"what?"
"my hand……"
"Help... help..."
A second before the magic was activated, a silver-grey lightsaber instantly emerged from the flashing purple-black magic light, and in the blink of an eye it had landed on the surrounding apprentices. Accompanied by screams, the bodies of those touched by the silver-grey lightsaber quickly began to petrify, and soon they had turned into stone statues frozen in place.
"Don't worry, the magic will last for an hour, you'll be fine!"
Putting away the Book of Night Sky in her hand, Shi Lei didn't know whether she was speaking to the referee in the dark or to the people who had turned into stone.
With the system in place, the maze environment is not a problem, and the strength of those magic apprentices cannot pose any threat to the three of them. If there is a real problem... it is probably the various traps set up in the maze!
I have to say that Ye Lina is a genius... and a genius who does not follow the ordinary path.
As the youngest titled wizard in the Demon Realm, and also a rare all-round magician, her magical knowledge and creativity are incomparably powerful. Now, after signing a contract with Yuhuan, she has become a real magical girl, and has learned new magic through the medium of gem magic, which has given her a lot more inspiration.
The result of these inspirations was that during the period of Yu Huan's study, she created many magic series by observing the magic of Yu Huan and others, and gradually began to use them in actual combat. This time's class mage assessment was undoubtedly one of her experimental sites, and Yu Huan and others were all her experimental subjects without exception.
It's a pity that apprentices are apprentices after all. Generally, they will be eliminated after experimenting with one or two magic traps, so their role is obviously not great. Although Yu Huan and others are powerful, they are also from the same lineage as her. Therefore, after suffering some losses in the end, they became cautious, which made the chance of guessing the trap drop sharply.
In view of this, Ye Lina immediately and decisively shifted her attention to the examination room for advanced mages... Compared with apprentices, it was obvious that the strength of these level mages was much higher, and it was obviously more suitable to use them to experiment with her own traps.
At the same time, for Yu Huan and the others, without Ye Lina's excessive attention, it was obviously much easier to deal with some unmanned traps. It didn't take long for them to find the exit of the maze, and finally successfully left it, completing the first round of advancement!
The second match was not held in the Mage Tower, but in the central arena of the Royal Magic Academy... The moment they walked out of the teleportation array, Yu Huan and the others were greeted by huge cheers from the countless spectators around them and the sound of deafening salutes.
"Boom boom boom~~"
As all kinds of gorgeous magical fireworks exploded in the sky, the three people looked at the crowds of people around them in a daze. It was not until then that they discovered that there were different portals in other directions around them, and figures were walking out of them one by one.
Obviously, Yu Huan didn't recognize any of them. Instead, many eyes were cast towards Shui Meng. It was obvious that these people had a very deep impression of the granddaughter of the Lord of Huanbing Tower, who had been expelled from the Mage Tower!
Seeing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but approach Shui Meng and asked in a low voice:
"So...what did you do to be expelled from the Mage Tower?"
In fact, Yu Huan has been curious about this question for a long time, but she has always thought that it was a sad past that Shui Meng didn't want to mention, so she didn't ask much.
However, judging from the fact that Shui Meng remained indifferent in the face of so many discussions from all sides, it was obvious that the facts were not as sad as she had imagined. Yu Huan, who finally couldn't bear his curiosity, asked this question.
At the same time, Shi Lei also came over. To be honest, she had obviously been curious about this question for a long time.
"nothing……"
Looking at the curious eyes of Yu Huan and Shi Lei, Shui Meng didn't seem to have any intention of refusing. She shook her head gently before saying calmly:
"I found a book of forbidden magic in my grandmother's collection and learned some of the magic..."
"And you were expelled? For secretly learning forbidden techniques?"
If this is the case, it is not impossible. After all, the reason why forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques is because they are extremely dangerous. Therefore, after this matter was discovered, it was obvious that even the Lord of the Phantom Ice Tower could not save Shui Meng. Her expulsion... seemed to be a matter of course?
Yu Huan guessed so and completed Shui Meng's unfinished words, but Shui Meng shook her head slightly and continued:
"Then I experimented... and blew up the Mage Tower!"
"..."
"..."
"Um... not Grandma's tower, but Losang Tower!"
"..."
"..."
It seemed as if I suddenly understood why Luosang Qianrou looked at Xiao Meng with eyes full of jealousy and resentment...
In the end, the two silent people could only give Shui Meng a thumbs up.
Awesome! I'm impressed! Speechless!
91. Holy Silver Church
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Just when the three of them were talking about Shui Meng's great past, Qian Rou from Losang Tower just happened to walk out of the portal beside them. The assessment of class mages is a group assessment and all students of the Mage Tower participate together, so it is not strange for the other party to appear here.
The moment Luosang Qianrou saw Shui Meng, his expression suddenly changed like a palette. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice from the platform the next second:
"The preliminary round of the class mage assessment has concluded. Close the portal. All apprentice mages entering the preliminary round, please assemble!"
As the voice amplified by magic rang out from the high platform in the central arena, the next second the teleportation arrays behind everyone began to close one by one.
"Let's go!"
Hearing the notification, Yu Huan nodded to the two women beside him, and the three of them immediately walked towards the gathering direction. They did not see Qian Rou from beginning to end. Qian Rou gritted her teeth. Although the jealousy and resentment in her eyes were about to overflow, she could only grit her teeth and endure it temporarily, and go to the gathering first!
It was not a big deal to gather everyone. It was a very traditional speech by the leader before the game started. This so-called leader was none other than His Majesty the King of the Magic Empire in Wanfa City.
The selection of class mages for the Mage Tower was a major event, so the royal family's involvement was a given. In fact, the very reason the competition was held in the central arena was also the royal family's idea, and the reasoning was self-evident...
"You are all the hope of our Demon Realm in the future. I hope you can achieve good results today, serve the empire better, and contribute your own strength to the Demon Realm!"
Well, to serve the empire... the meaning of this recruitment is too obvious. After all, in this place where magic determines everything, the deterrent power of the Mage Tower is obviously far beyond that of the royal family. This is obviously not what the royal family wants to see. However, not to mention how powerful the mages in the Mage Tower are, their number alone is obviously many times ahead of the royal family. Therefore, the royal family can only endure it helplessly.
However, an emperor is naturally ambitious. No king wants to be inferior to others. Although the Mage Tower has always been loyal to the Empire on the surface, in fact, the prestige of the Mage Tower has gradually surpassed that of the Empire in recent years. Many magicians have only the Mage Tower in their hearts and have not noticed the existence of the Empire.
The imperial power was under serious threat, which was obviously not a good thing for the imperial royal family. Therefore, if they wanted to resist, they undoubtedly had only one way to go!
"What road?"
The assembled crowd listened to the impassioned speech of the man in magnificent attire, supposedly the king. Below, Yu Huan, Shi Lei, and Shui Meng huddled together, whispering quietly. As Yu Huan spoke eloquently about his understanding of power, Shi Lei, her eyes twinkling, asked curiously, while Shui Meng listened intently. As for whether or not they understood... did it matter? What the teacher said was right!
"It's very simple, just do something!"
What he said before was reasonable and well-founded, but the last sentence clearly had a playful feel that sounded like he was asking for a beating. Yu Huan immediately spread his hands and gave this answer, which immediately made Shi Lei and Shui Meng nod their heads... They actually agreed with his method!
"You really believe it?"
Honestly, Yu Huan was just joking. After all, these were just tropes from the novel. He just made it up based on the current context. To put it bluntly, it was just a story, but...
"But in fact, most of what you said is exactly the current reality!"
"Ugh?"
"Ok?"
"Yelina... Mentor?"
The sudden voice sounded from behind. The three of them turned their heads and found that Ye Lina had been standing beside them. She was covered by a large magic robe. Perhaps because of her short height, she was not noticed by the people around her.
"Congratulations on beating the game... Well, I was bored up there, so I came down to take a look. I actually heard a pretty good story!"
In fact, Ye Linna was just eavesdropping on the stage at first, but after listening, she felt it was necessary, so she came down specially. As for her purpose of coming down, it was also very simple: to give a little reminder to Yu Huan, the apprentice who had no common sense:
"Xiao Huan, although most of what you just said is the current facts of the empire, and it may seem like just a story to you, you have to know that sometimes... disaster comes from the mouth!"
Talking nonsense about the emperor was clearly a provocation to the imperial power, not to mention that Yu Huan's story also included the existence of the Mage Tower. Although most of her words were fabricated and mainly jokes, such words obviously had different meanings when heard by different people, especially... those with ulterior motives!
