Chapter 407: Chapter 244: I Want to Play_1
Huh? What a coincidence? The two fighting parties actually know each other? Negris and Ange hurriedly walked over, casually pulling over a spectator who was dressed completely differently, looking smug, and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Who are...? Stop dragging me around; my Silk Robe, immune to fire, it’s very expensive...” The reluctant spectator they had pulled over grumbled, but as he turned his head and saw Ange’s pass, he straightened up in fear, “I’m sorry, Director, I didn’t say anything.”
On Ange’s pass, a black star was slowly pulsating. That was the mark of the Death Star; director Auburnli’s title wasn’t something to be trifled with.
People were trembling with fear just from seeing a pass; the title of Director Auburnli wasn’t just a title for show.
Negris’s voice came from Ange’s body: “Don’t be scared. What happened?”
“Oh, it’s an old event, it’s very interesting. A student of the Spring Breeze Druid, who belongs to the Mage Farmer’s Academy, is having a dispute with Dobinki’s people. They challenge each other to duels every now and then. I don’t even know how many times they’ve fought.”
“Druid? Combat? A fight? Or a magic duel?” Negris asked curiously. Druids capable of combat? Transforming into bears and fighting each other?
“No, they are competing in a simulated magic formation using illusion techniques, testing their breeding skills and climate control. Anyway, just various techniques to make crops grow faster and better,” the curious spectator explained.
Hearing about the illusion simulation formation, even Ange couldn’t help but squeeze to the front. The mages that he pushed aside were unable to speak fast enough and were pushed to the side. How could these weak mages resist the force of the Golden Skeleton?
The Spectator in the Silk Robe saw that Ange had transferred his focus and quickly escaped.
Arriving at the front of the pit, Ange finally saw the situation within the pit clearly. It was a rectangular pit, five meters long and ten meters wide, about one meter deep. At the moment, an illusion projected a river, rows of fields, and some proportionally shrunken crops onto it.
At this moment, the situation in the pit was clear. On the left were crops simulated by Dobinki’s students, a kind of vine plant. The vines grew wildly along the wooden frame, producing giant fruits that somewhat resemble breadfruits.
On the Spring Breeze Druid student’s side were still the original rice crops. Although heavy fruits had been produced, it was evident to the naked eye that the yield was definitely not as high as Dobinki’s side.
The numbers on the Illusion Magic Array also confirmed this fact. The yield per mu on Dobinki’s side was a thousand jin, while only six hundred jin was shown on the Spring Breeze Druid’s side; the difference reached forty percent.
“Alright, we’ll ask Auburnli later on how many we should buy,” Negris said.
Meanwhile, the students of Spring Breeze Druid had nothing to say as their faces turned pale. The opponents were right; there were no restrictions on which crops to use, or the production costs. It was natural for the opponents to win; they could only blame their failure to consider thoroughly and limit things in advance.
However, losing was one thing, but whether they could bear the mockery was another issue. How could the young and energetic students tolerate the mockery? The lead student of the Spring Breeze Druid loudly declared, “That doesn’t count! If you dare, let’s have another round, but this time you are not allowed to use...”
Before he finished speaking, his companion behind him was desperately tugging at his clothes. He whispered into his ear, “Brother, we have no more demon crystals.”
Alchemy brings wealth, mage farming brings poverty, and elementalists bet their underwear. This epic phrase, sung countless times by bards, thoroughly dissected the situation in the Magic Academy.
“Alchemy brings wealth” because the poor can’t afford to study alchemy. Just a Gold-touch Stick and the materials could consume all the wealth of a noble.
The Sava pharmacist needed alchemy; all of the Viscount’s property had been squandered by her, which gives you an idea of how much money it costs.
However, if you manage to master it, alchemy brings wealth in a pouring stream.
“Mage farming brings poverty” and only those who are not poor can study mage farming. Just dealing with the wind and sun all day isn’t something nobles and the affluent can usually bear. Even the Great Druids Dobinki and Spring Breeze look like old farmers, let alone ordinary mage farmers.
Poor mage farmer students can’t even afford a second round of Illusion Simulation, as they have no more Demon Crystals.
The lead Spring Breeze student was alternating between paleness and rage, clenching his teeth but unable to do anything. Without any Demon Crystals, the Illusion Magic Array cannot operate.
Ange squeezed through the crowd, poured a bag of Demon Crystals on the operating table, and pointed at the Illusion Magic Array, saying, “I want to play.”
“Huh? What does he mean?”
“Ah! It’s the pass issued by the old witch, you all be quiet, that man is wearing the pass from the old witch.”
“But what does he mean? He pushed the Spring Breeze Druid’s student aside. Does he want to challenge Dobinki’s students?”
