Chapter 18: Abandoned Child
In the duel arena, Papin and Eldrin both began to chant spells and use the corresponding magic gestures. Papin 's starting gesture was standard and clear, and it was obvious that it was the most practical and powerful magic missile among the first-level magic. In terms of magic attainments alone, Papin 's foundation was very solid, and even the most picky teacher could not find any problems in the casting of this magic. A first-level magician should only cast two magic missiles, but three balls of magic light lit up between Papin's hands! There was a slight commotion among the crowd, and they were all surprised by Papin 's magic talent. The casting time of magic missiles was the shortest. When Papin 's magic missiles flew out of his hand, Eldrin's magic was not yet ready.
One of the three missiles locked onto Eldrin, and the other two were fired at Eldrin's left and right sides. With Papin 's current strength, he could only control one of the three missiles to completely lock onto the target, and with this tactical setting, the opponent would be hit by two missiles at the same time no matter which direction he dodges! If Eldrin didn't dodge, he would have to take a magic missile.
Papin knew that one missile certainly couldn't defeat Eldrin. During the fight, he personally experienced the boy's unusually strong physique, but he actually had the magic power of a second-level wizard, and could release a total of three magic missiles. Three rounds of missile bombardment were enough to beat the boy to a pulp! Eldrin had just completed the registration of a first-level wizard, and could release at most two rounds of magic missiles. Papin estimated that he could still withstand one missile bombardment, although it would be very painful, and two would be a bit too much to bear. There was no way, magic duels were like this, if he was a third-level wizard, there would be no suspense about winning, and then this duel would not be approved at all. Deepblue is fair. If you want Deepblue to temporarily ignore certain injustices, you need a very strong background and huge material investment. Papin 's family is far from being able to reach this level.
After firing three magic missiles, Papin began to prepare for the next round of magic missiles. Eldrin on the opposite side had not yet finished preparing his magic, so Papin felt that the goddess of victory was already showing off her thighs to him. As long as he thought of the equipment, gold coins and status promised by the man behind the scenes, Papin 's heart couldn't help but itch, so that the pronunciation of the magic spell was a little inaccurate, and the 1.5-second casting time was dragged down to 2 seconds. However, before the magic in his hand was ready, Papin heard the sound of thunder and cheers from the audience!
"Is this cheering? Is it for my upcoming victory?" Papin thought, but he still had some self-awareness. So he looked up in confusion, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and even forgot half of the magic he had prepared!
Papin could hardly believe his eyes! What did he see? It was a fireball ? How could a first-level magician cast a third-level magic? Wasn't it forbidden to use scroll-type props in magic duels? Why did a fireball appear? !
The real fireball had already flown out of his hand and flew towards Papin . The fireball spell had no lock function, but the high-speed flight and the spell's own damage range of ten meters did not require lock. It was not until the fireball flew less than five meters away that the stunned Papin woke up from his shock. He screamed and rolled to the side to dodge. However, Papin, who had exerted the fastest speed in his life , only ran three meters before he was caught up by the rolling waves of fire! With a muffled bang, Papin was blown up, drawing a short arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground several meters away, unable to get up again!
The duel arena suddenly went from extremely noisy to dead silence, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
There were many experienced magicians in the audience, and they could see that the power of Eldrin's fireball was much smaller than the standard third-level magic, but the impact of 10 energy levels was enough to deal a heavy blow to any magician below level 3. Although Papin was not killed on the spot, he had to recover from his injuries for dozens of days.
A dull thud once again attracted the audience's attention. The magic missile launched by Papin had just reached Eldrin. He protected his chest with both arms and endured the bombardment. Then, his expression and gestures did not deviate at all as he began to prepare the second magic.
At this time, the duel field was so quiet that even a feather falling to the ground could be heard clearly. Although the voice of Eldrin chanting the magic spell was very low, it was heard by several great magicians with excellent perception, and they were horrified and moved!
Although the magic spell was greatly modified, they were still able to recognize it. Eldrin's second magic was also a fireball!
Eldrin's face was already pale. The rapid loss of magic power made him feel as if his body was being drained. He only had less than 4 points of magic power left. He recovered a little with the help of magic recovery potions. The spell he prepared was a version of Fireball that further reduced the magic power expenditure. It had not yet been perfected. But even if it was perfected, it would still require 6 points of magic power to release a small fireball with an energy level of 8. Only a strong belief supported Eldrin, allowing him to complete this spell even if it caused an overdraft of magic power!
Although the fireball is small, it is enough to kill people.
At this time, the resident wizard flashed to the center of the venue, waved his hand to dispel Eldrin's unfinished magic, and also stabilized his chaotic magic power.
"That's enough. Your magic will kill him. This is not in compliance with the rules of magic duels." At this point, the resident wizard looked back at Papin 's condition, and then announced: "The winner of this duel is Eldrin! Now, Eldrin, you can ask the other party to execute... um, the agreed bet according to the prior agreement. The execution location can be chosen separately. Of course, I personally suggest that you choose a... uh ... similar, flexible... execution method, which is also in compliance with the rules of magic duels."
Papin , who was lying motionless , and roughly pulled up his head. He looked at his face, which was scorched and swollen by the smoke from the fireworks, and said in a voice without any emotion: "Someone once told me that if someone wants to kill you, you should kill him twice as much first."
After saying that, Eldrin stood up and used all his strength to kick Papin in the middle of his butt! Papin screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and then he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, his voice was hoarse and his breath was intermittent. Eldrin took two steps outside, suddenly turned around, and kicked Papin again ! This kick immediately made Papin 's moaning sound rise another octave.
Seeing Eldrin's kicks, the resident wizard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. However, in his opinion, Eldrin's kick was obviously more merciful than executing the agreed bet, so he acquiesced to this method of execution and announced the end of the duel. People in the audience began to leave one after another. They seemed very excited and kept discussing Eldrin's fireball spell, while no one paid attention to Papin 's butt. Obviously, this will be a hot topic for quite a long time in the future.
In the box, Minnie and Randolph didn't expect this result. Minnie suddenly sneered and said, "Randolph, you are right, it seems that little Eldrin is indeed worth 500,000 gold coins!" After that, she didn't greet Randolph, but walked out of the box.
Randolph's face turned livid, and his eyes were almost emitting fire! He stared at Minnie, his teeth clenched tightly together.
When opening the door of the private room, Minnie suddenly turned around and said with a faint smile: "You don't have to just stare at me. I think you need to think about your future now. The teacher will be back in six days!"
With a bang, the door of the box was slammed in front of Randolph, with such force that it showed no aristocratic etiquette or manners at all. Randolph then roared and smashed almost everything in the box that could be smashed, since he could afford to pay for it anyway.
As for Papin , he became an orphan abandoned by the world. Even the apprentices who were inseparable from him disappeared without a trace . Because until this moment, they remembered the horror of Her Highness Isabella. It was these apprentices who had not been in Deepblue for a long time that still had so many worldly habits.
