feed on dragons

The following days for the apprentices became a little busier.In addition to ordinary speaking activities, they must also find time to do practical cooperation training.Both Yaqibel and the leaders of the mage groups of the two countries agreed to their request for independent training, but at the same time they also put forward a condition: at the beginning of the training, there must be more than two magicians watching on the spot.Not only to provide advice, but also to protect the apprentices who cannot fully control the power.

When the five apprentices heard this condition, they were all a little embarrassed.Although not all mages are very busy, they are not necessarily familiar with all of them. Asking someone for help like this always feels a little disturbing to the other party.But fortunately, after actually asking about it, the mages generally found this activity very interesting, so they didn't bother them at all. As long as they were free, they usually agreed happily.They stayed and watched the apprentices practice, occasionally reminding them of the timing of a match, a correction of posture, or the speed of a spell, but generally the grown-ups just watched in silence.

"It's really the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead. I feel like I'm dying on the beach." When the blessed mage Glass, who I met at the dinner, came to act as a supervisor, he once laughed like this. "They're all pretty good. You can go directly to the license test when you go back. If I'm the examiner, I'll let you pass!"

"But don't you always reject the inspector's invitation?" Dai Ning raised his eyebrows.

"So that's all I'm saying." Glass winked at him.

"Adults are like this—" Huang and Yue showed expressions of distrust of humans.

At first, Julian actually felt a little nervous when he heard that there was going to be actual combat training.No matter how much other people use their power, they can recover almost the next day when they wake up from sleep; but Julian is different. Although his magic power gauge is very large, his magic power will not recover by himself. The magic is to use a little less.When breaking the triple earth shield, Julian didn't think too much about it, and put in a considerable amount of strength in one breath. When he went back and felt for a while, and found that there were only two-thirds left, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, since that time, there haven't been many opportunities for him to consume his magic power, so two-thirds of his magic power has been preserved until now.Before each actual combat training, the apprentices would discuss the goal of today's practice and practice purposefully. At that time, Julian would also secretly judge what kind of magic to use today, and estimate the magic power consumed.

So far, most of the apprentices still used basic potions and magic to carry out activities because they were only practicing cooperation and tacit understanding. The actual combat training did not bring him the high load he imagined.Two-thirds were slowly consumed within dozens of days to the remaining one-fourth. Although the feeling that the magic power was reduced every day without replenishment still made him a little flustered, but what made Julian feel relieved was that such days, Not long.

Three days left...Julian thought to himself.

Unknowingly, the first magician summit has come to an end.And the apprentices who are lucky enough to participate in this grand event are about to face the most difficult trial in their careers.Although more than a week of running-in could not make them fully familiar with each other, they have also developed some cooperative techniques, which can be regarded as a small improvement.

In Dai Ning's words, it is...

"At least Juan doesn't throw the pill bottle at my head anymore."

As for Huang, who was turned around and said that his bottle throwing skills were not good, he also countered...

"That's right, at least a week later, my robe is finally fine, and it's not scorched by the rocket anymore. I don't know if the rocket is chasing a floating target or chasing me."

Thinking of their occasional bickering, Julian couldn't help laughing.Right in front, Dai Ning and Huang were practicing. Among the tangled vines, small rockets shuttled and hit the floating targets floating in the air.Although a few were missed, the rocket never burned the vines, nor did the vines follow their path to extinguish the rocket.This is the result of their practice for several days. The apprentices have already used less low-level spells to cooperate with each other to carry out more efficient attacks. It has to be said that this method is much better than fighting alone.

"It looks pretty good."

Overseeing the training of the apprentices today is Manderon, along with another wizard from Canterlen.Carter glanced at his teacher, and Manderon happened to be looking in his direction too.The boy avoided the man's sight like an electric shock, lowered his head, and held the gloved left hand with his intact right hand, trembling slightly.

"thank you."

Dai Ning also felt that he had performed quite well. He walked back with Juan, and when he passed by Julian, he winked playfully at him.Julian smiled and tapped his friend's shoulder lightly.

"Keep going."

"Um."

Julian, Carter and Yue walked to the small square ahead.What the three of them want to practice is a triangular cooperative formation. The three of them shoot at the same time, and the target is the floating target floating in the middle - a transparent ball released by Mandron.If all three hit successfully at the same time, the ball will shatter and disappear, but if the conditions are not fulfilled, the ball will shatter and return to its original shape.

"Still as usual?"

asked Julian.They have practiced this several times. Since they need to be familiar with the duration of each other's magic, the apprentices will agree in advance which spell to use.Hearing this question, Yue nodded, threw the small red medicine bottle in her hand, and said, "I'm still a contact lava bottle."

Julian also nodded: "I am also a third-level flame array."

Carter looked at the two of them, and suddenly asked, "Julian, are you familiar with the four episodes of Fire Dragon?"

Julian looked at him suspiciously, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied, "It's okay. Do you want to change it?"

"Yeah." Carter looked back at Manderon, turned his head back after the latter nodded, and said, "The target prepared by the teacher this time is a little stronger than before. Among us, you are the most familiar with the map, so by It’s best for you to increase your attack power.”

"You can't always practice the same thing." Mandron added with a chuckle, "It's just adding a little thickness, so it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"I can also upgrade the lava bottle to one level. I have it." Yue said as he took out another almost identical small bottle from his pocket.The only difference is that in the newly taken out bottle, the circulating flame seems to be more blazing.

"You don't need to increase that much, just add a little bit." Mandron stopped him, "If it is too much, even if the target is eliminated, the magic power will rush to the side. Your control is not enough, this is too much Danger."

"Oh. Okay." Yue put away the bottle resentfully, and he couldn't attack violently, which seemed to disappoint him.

The three confirmed the magic to be used by each other again, and after adjusting their states, they winked at each other, indicating that it was time to start.Julian, who chanted for the longest time, started the call of the array first.He put all his heart into the spell, carefully drawing every symbol in his mind, and the red glowing formation began to spin under his feet.Immediately afterwards, Carter also took time to draw the formation diagram, while Yue, who had the shortest driving time, counted the seconds and threw the bottle in his hand.One, two, three...

The ball suddenly flashed a light.The light flashed so fast that even the people staring at it didn't notice it—even if they found it, they would think it was the reflected light of magic.Because almost at the same time, the magic of the three of them greeted the lonely ball in the middle.

boom!

Julian saw it, and the timing was just right. The moment Carter's ten rockets and a small charmander he summoned touched the ball, the bottle that Yue threw over also shattered at the same time—well, it was perfect, Julian was a little Excitedly, I gave myself a score of [-]:[-] in my heart.Why is it five past nine?Because the full score feels too arrogant, I need to save some...

And just when he was excited, the fire dragon that was supposed to disappear after hitting the small ball suddenly ignited again, and pounced straight at him.

「!?」

Everyone on the scene was startled, the apprentices were immediately petrified, and although the two mages rushed over immediately, the fire dragon was coming very fast, and Julian was the one who stood the farthest in the triangle, Mandron Even though the ice defense array in his hand has been hit, it seems that the far water cannot save the near fire.

"Julian!"

Dai Ning came back to his senses, he roared and rushed over, but at the moment when Julian was almost surrounded by fire dragons, his figure suddenly moved back a little - at that tiny time difference, in front of him Three ice shields flashed out in an instant - it was Mandron's ice defense array.The fire and the ice collided together and a burst of air flow erupted. Julian failed to stand upright, was carried by the air flow, and rolled out a few meters away.

"Julian!"

"Julian is all right!"

A group of people ran towards the boy.At this time, Dai Ning, who was the first to run over, had squatted down and nervously checked his injuries. Although Julian was a little disheveled, he didn't seem to be injured, but the frightened expression hadn't faded from his face.He gasped for breath and trembled.

"What happened just now? Shouldn't the fire dragon be destroyed after hitting the target?"

Dai Ning asked him in a panic.Julian shook his head, and said with a trembling voice: "I, I also, I don't know... He obviously didn't continue to activate the spell, so he can't be re-ignited..."

Manderon also rushed over. He looked at Julian and asked suspiciously, "Are you... all right?"

"Fortunately, I was just scared, but there is no injury on my body." Dai Ning replied on behalf of his friend.Julian looked at Manderon, nodded, and said, "Just now... I thought I was going to be burned too... Thank you Lord Manderon for the ice shield."

"Well, it's fine..."

Manderon showed a somewhat strange expression.Another mage hurried forward, together with Dai Ning, helped Julian up. After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, the boy was still trembling, but he was able to stand up by himself.

"It happened so fast just now, I should have reacted immediately..." the mage of Cantellian said guiltily, "Fortunately, Master Manderon used the ice defense array in time to help you block this one time."

Julian opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again.He smiled wryly, and thanked Manderon again.

"Julian, are you okay?"

"Do you want to drink this, it is very effective for the wound."

Huang and Yue also pushed forward, Yue stuffed a small medicine bottle in his hand, Julian nodded and took it.

"Okay, okay, it's fine."

Mandron patted the shoulders of the apprentices, "Look, when using magic, you must always be vigilant. If you think that the attack is over, forget it, then you will suffer a loss. It's getting late, and the competition will start tomorrow. Go back and rest early. Julian, get some sleep, huh?"

The apprentices agreed, and Juan and Yue went to the library and walked in another direction; Carter was called away by Manderon, and the mage of Canterlen asked about Julian's situation, and turned to leave after confirming that he was fine. .Dai Ning held his friend's hand, and the two walked back to the dormitory slowly, but along the way, he gradually felt that something was wrong with Julian.

"Julian?"

He looked back suspiciously, and saw the young man frowning, as if holding back something.

Are you still injured?Thinking of this, Dai Ning was very nervous, he quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? Is there any pain? Not feeling well? If it's really uncomfortable, let's go to Lord Lun, she should have..."

"fine."

Julian interrupted Dai Ning. He looked up at his friend and urged, "I'm fine. I just need to go back to my room and sleep. Really. Let's go."

Dai Ning felt that it didn't look like he was all right, but Julian couldn't help urging him again and again, and he could only drag him back to the door of the room quickly.Once at the door, Julian quickly took out the key to unlock it, and slipped inside.Dai Ning thought he was going to close the door, but the door opened a small crack, and Julian poked his head out and said to him, "It's really all right."

Dai Ning couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, you go to lie down and knock on my door if you have something to do."

"it is good."

Julian nodded and retreated into the room.Seeing him go back to his room, although Dai Ning didn't understand why, he could only go back to his own room.
