Three days later in the afternoon.
Dorothy ate a croissant provided by the Hearthstone Tavern for free and looked at the black-haired dwarf who kept scratching his head with his hands.
This elderly dwarf had been forced into a desperate situation by Dorothy.
“Use this one? No… No.”He held the hand card and fell into hesitation. However, after several consecutive calculations, an unchangeable conclusion was defeated in front of him.
“I lost.”
The dwarf picked up a large glass of wine and poured it into his throat. Then, he said helplessly.
The moment the old dwarf admitted defeat, the familiar cheers of Dorothy came from the surroundings again.
“Congratulations to Dorothy, the girl from the country of steel, for winning the position of the top eight!”
The congratulatory voice rang in Dorothy’s ears. After learning that she had successfully advanced to the top eight, Dorothy fell weakly on the wooden table beside her.
The qualifiers for the past few days had been a long competition. There were more than a thousand contestants competing in this tavern until there were only eight left.
Every day, the competition would be announced at nine o’clock in the morning and would last until five o’clock in the afternoon.
For most of the Dwarven contestants, the unique endurance of the dwarves allowed them to play for three days and three nights without any problem.
But for the human players, it was a kind of… spiritual experience.
Dorothy put all of her energy into each round. When the last round was declared over, Dorothy was completely powerless to cheer. She just wanted to find a place to sleep.
However, with the cheers and congratulations from the surrounding Hearthstone players, Dorothy forced herself to sit up and raised her arms towards the surrounding players.
At this moment, Dorothy truly felt something called… honor.
It was just like the Gladiators of the country of steel who had won and raised their arms to receive the cheers from the audience.
“You are the last player to enter the top eight.”
Jose walked down from the referee’s seat and came in front of Dorothy, then handed her a letter.
“Your qualification and the time and place of the next match are in the envelope. I wish you good luck.”
After seeing the letter, Dorothy’s tired face finally turned into a smile.
“Can I open it here?”Dorothy asked.
“This belongs to you. Of course you can,”Josh said.
Dorothy couldn’t wait to open the wax seal on the envelope.
When she opened the wax seal, a trace of worry surged into Dorothy’s heart.
Everything had developed as Dorothy had hoped. She had won the final eight and was one step closer to the championship.
Moreover, the competition for the past three days was just as Dorothy had imagined. It was all held in the Hearthstone Tavern.
The audience for the competition was only Hearthstone players. There were no other outsiders. Dorothy also did not see the video of the Hearthstone legend competition on the ‘Television’that was everywhere in Nolan.
She had run away from the wedding to come to Nolan to participate in this… Tavern card game competition. Dorothy did not want to be known by her acquaintances in the distant country of steel.
Therefore, Dorothy also hoped that the following match could be held in the Hearthstone Tavern.
With this expectation, Dorothy opened the envelope in her hand. There was an aura that had been branded by the inscription on the letter. The first line of words was her name, Dorothy Bexner.
A Knight’s Medal?
Dorothy thought of this word when she saw the letter.
She continued reading and began to look for information about the location of the competition. Soon, Dorothy saw the location of the semi-finals and the semi-finals in the penultimate line.
‘Luersk Advanced Magic Academy, Magic Arena.’
Lu… Luersk Advanced Magic Academy? !
Dorothy’s worries had come true.
Young spellcasters from all over the world wished to study at the four Advanced Magic Academies in Nolan. This fierce competition determined the status of these four advanced magic academies in this world.
Although Dorothy had never been to one of the LUERSK Advanced Magic Academies, she could imagine that if she held the Hearthstone legend competition in the Magic Arena..
It was impossible for the audience to only be Hearthstone legend players.
“Are we going to compete in the Hearthstone legend in such an empty arena… ?”Dorothy asked Jose, the organizer, tentatively.
She admitted that the Hearthstone legend competition was indeed very entertaining. At least, compared to traditional card games, the Hearthstone legend had all kinds of probability events and special effects that added a special “Sense of drama”to the game.
But to set up eight magic-conducting machines in such an empty magic arena and have a group of people come over to watch and play cards?
Just thinking about it made Dorothy feel that it was somewhat out of place and monotonous.
“Not just in the arena, the process of your competition will be presented to all of Nolan’s audience via television, and the process will definitely not be monotonous,”said Jose.
Show… in front of all the audience in Nolan?
“I will make good preparations.”Dorothy’s expression was a little strange. In the end, Jose watched the girl leave the tavern with a tired body.
After today’s match, the entire tavern once again entered the regular business. A group of young dwarves who had asked for leave to participate in the match were dragged back by their elders to forge iron and mine again.
Joshua left the matters in the hall to Lady Marina to deal with, and he directly walked up to the third floor of the tavern.
When he arrived at the third floor, a strong vitality enveloped Joshua, and he felt like he was lying on the grass in the afternoon, basking in the sun.
Joshua came to a room on the third floor, and before he could reach out to knock on the door, the door was automatically opened.
“Sage herlous, how do you feel?”
Joshua walked into the room that was covered with vines. The purple-robed man had agreed to Joshua’s suggestion yesterday. He was going to try using the world tree to relieve his body from aging and dying.
“The fatigue has been eliminated a lot.”
The inscription on the purple-robed man’s hand flashed. Books made of illusions piled up on the wooden table made of vines.
However, these books were quickly knocked over by a black dragon the size of a puppy.
This black dragon was the Deathwing Nasario that Jose was familiar with! However, the one flapping its wings in the room was a mini version, and there was no deterrent at all.
The mini version of Deathwing flew around the room and landed on Hiri’s shoulder, then spat out a circle of small flames.
“The details are pretty good.”Jose walked to Healy’s side and looked at the wings of death.
She was an illusion created by Healy..
“But it consumes too much magic power and spirit.”Healy held her forehead in distress. The wings of death on her shoulder did the same thing.
Soon, the black dragon turned into pieces and fell to the ground, disappearing.
This was also the reason why there were very few people who learned illusion magic. The first reason was that it was difficult to learn the basics. The second reason was that one wanted to master the movement of an illusion so that it looked real, it was not as simple as other magic that could only be ‘released’.
“Hiri needs to spend time to accumulate her own magic power,”the purple-robed man said. “She is learning runes very quickly.”
“What about the other apprentices?”
Joshua remembered that the purple-robed man was also the administrator of an Advanced Magic Academy. There must be a specialty related to illusions in her academy.
A long time had passed since “Avatar”was broadcast. At the beginning of every movie, Joshua first mentioned the name of the purple-robed man.
He wanted the audience to understand that everything in the movie was constructed by the illusion of the purple-clad man.
“The only two teachers of Illusion Magic in my academy told me that the number of students who chose this course… is indeed a lot more. Many of them are here to try and shape the Na ‘vi people to learn.”
When the purple-clad man said this, a rare smile appeared on his face.
“It has indeed worked. So, Joshua Yanorod, I will help you perform better in the Luersk Academy’s Competition Tomorrow.”
The purple-clothed person said as a light purple inscription appeared in her palm. An ORC wearing heavy armor appeared in the room and roared at everyone.
In a flash of light, the orc’s figure disappeared in an instant and transformed into a mage wearing a blue robe.
These illusions were all Hearthstone’s legendary heroic characters.
“Alright, I’m starting to wonder if it’s too late to sign up for the competition.”
Josh looked at the heroic characters that seemed to exist in reality and began to look forward to tomorrow.
