I'm really not a top magician

But this guy, in just a few days, has become even stronger...

Although it's a bit awkward to say this now,

but……

Aika Satiao also started to feel a little excited.

Chapter 93 Lisa's Failure

Richard's game ended without any suspense.

When the last group finished, the first round of today's competition finally came to an end.

George Patton, the spiritual vein manager, stood in front and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. The first round of competition is now complete..."

"There are 32 winners in total."

"The next match will be a one-on-one match."

"The name on the slip of paper you draw now is your opponent."

The person that Aika Sajo drew was called Carlos Carter.

"Oh, it's this guy, the assassin Carlos Carter." Luna came closer and said after seeing the name on the note.

"Who is this guy? Is he famous?" asked Aika Sajo.

"Not bad, not a tough character. His previous match took a full hour to finish, which was quite grueling."

Luna explained patiently,

"Carlos Carter's family's ancestral magic is an assassination technique specifically designed for use against humans. Since it's an assassination technique, stealth is key. However, this competition format completely eliminates the assassin's greatest advantage, leaving them with no room to maneuver."

"But his hidden weapons are still worth keeping an eye on. Because the ones he uses are more like the small needles you Japanese ninjas use, and when used in conjunction with magic, it's hard to defend against."

Xiaozhen? Are you talking about Senbon?

Sajo Aika gives me the feeling of watching Naruto in my previous life.

But you are a British man, dressed like a Japanese ninja,

I'm thinking Naruto hasn't started serialization yet?

After thinking about it, Sajo Aika always felt that this person was definitely an old house.

"Look! That's the guy!" Luna pointed at someone with her chin down.

Aika Sajo looked in the direction of her chin and saw a guy wearing Japanese ninja clothes.

Wow, he really is a ninja?

Perhaps sensing Sha Tiao Ai Ge's gaze, Carlos Carter also turned his head and stared at Sha Tiao Ai Ge, just like a hunter staring at his target.

"Look! Look this way!" Luna said jokingly. She wasn't gloating, but felt sorry for Carlos Carter, who had run into Aika Satiao so early.

"What about you? Who did you draw?" Sajo Aika didn't pay much attention to A's gaze, but turned her head to ask about Luna's draw position.

"Me? I drew Richard." Luna showed her note helplessly.

On the white note, Richard's name was written clearly in black pen.

"Your luck..." Sajo Aika smiled bitterly.

"It's okay. Although I also want to help you eliminate more opponents, I feel relieved with Lorelai here. Besides, it's hard to say who will win in tomorrow's match." Luna said calmly.

She was in a very relaxed mood. Her purpose of coming to the king selection meeting was, on the one hand, to help Aika Satiao and help her deal with those unnecessary opponents.

However, her main purpose was to investigate the matter of Phareus. After all, Luna was very concerned about the conflict between him and Leif in the Clock Tower. She had a feeling that Phareus was plotting something at this king's election.

Therefore, it would be a good idea to compete with Richard as soon as possible. This way, she can quickly get out of the competition and focus on investigating and monitoring Fareus. Even if Sajo Aika doesn't have her help, Lorelei can still be of great help.

"I'll try my best tomorrow and see if I can help you force out Richard's trump card!" Luna vowed.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Sajo Aika smiled.

For Luna's help, Satiao Aige expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart. Although she was also kept in the dark by her lies, Satiao Aige could still feel the other party's sincerity.

"By the way, where is Lisa?" Sajo Aika had planned to go back with everyone to rest, but after looking around for a long time, she still couldn't find any trace of Lisa.

"After she was eliminated in the first round, she rushed into the woods. I was also surprised. She obviously doesn't know any puppetry at all, but she planned to use puppets in this kind of competition. I don't know what she was thinking..." Luna said.

The Kingsmoot competition, though intended as a selection contest to choose the king capable of extracting the Sword from the Stone, has, thanks to Barthelmero's interference, become a mere spectacle. While performance is key, respect must also be shown during the performance. After all, this is a competition that has the attention of the magic world. Entering the competition and then performing a magic trick you're completely incompetent, or even completely incapable of, is a joke.

The vast majority of the audience were students from the Clock Tower, and Lisa was a well-known figure there. Seeing this scene, everyone burst into laughter. However, a hint of doubt also popped up in their minds: Why would Lisa dare to use her puppetry, which was her least skill?

Luna was even more confused than the others at that time, because she knew Lisa well. She didn't want Lisa to win the game, she just wanted her to play a game with dignity so as to avoid being laughed at by other people in the Clock Tower.

Now she couldn't understand why Lisa would dare to use her least formidable puppetry on such a big stage...

From Luna's tone, it sounded like Lisa's competition was a disaster. And Sajo Aika did guess Lisa's thoughts, but...

"What is she doing, sigh..." Sajo Aika sighed softly, but unfortunately this little action was keenly noticed by Luna.

Luna subconsciously guessed that Aika Sajo seemed to know the reason for the matter. Luna knew from the beginning that Lisa and Aika Sajo knew each other, because it was she who deliberately arranged for Lisa and Aika Sajo to meet. She knew that Lisa admired Aika Sajo very much but did not have the courage to ask her for advice, so Lisa secretly made a deal with Lord El-Melloi, and when Aika Sajo went to attend the crown ceremony, Lisa would receive her.

The development of things was also as Luna expected. Aika Sajo began to teach Lisa various magic very casually. However, it was at this time that Luna discovered that Lisa seemed to have a talent in making ceremonial costumes.

Thinking of this, Luna suddenly realized that the reason why Lisa wanted to use her puppetry today was to prove her strength.

Alas, I still don’t understand her...

Luna sighed, and this phenomenon reminded her of how Lisa was always busy alone a few days ago. At that time, she was paying attention to Fareus' affairs. If she had cared more about Lisa at that time, she would not be so anxious to prove herself today.

Thinking of this, Luna sighed secretly.

"You guys go back first, I'll go see her." said Sha Tiao Aige.

Aika Sajo also understood that Lisa wanted to show her level of puppetry to her, but it was too early now.

After saying that, Shajo Aige left the team and ran towards the grove behind the church.

Chapter 94 Good evening, Mr. Carlos!

After saying goodbye to Luna, Sajo Aika also went into the grove behind the cathedral to look for Lisa.

Suddenly the sky began to darken.

After spending some time together, Sajo Aika was very clear about Lisa's character, who was sensitive but stubborn. Therefore, after learning that she had failed in her attempt to prove her magic talent,

Aika Sajo was a little worried because she also had no talent for magic, so she understood better the feeling of loss when a person who regained hope was crushed by reality again.

And although the rules of the temple prohibit everyone from fighting outside the competition venue, Aika Sajo still feels a little uneasy about leaving Lisa alone in the woods like this.

However, at this time, Shatiao Aige did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the depths of the woods.

"As long as I can poison Aika Shajo and make her unable to participate in the competition tomorrow, I will win."

In the shadows, Carlos Carter muttered to himself.

As an assassin trained since childhood, this is the best time for him to show his skills. In a one-on-one match like tomorrow's elimination match, it is difficult for an assassin to demonstrate his stealth and assassination skills. In addition, Sajo Aika is also a very powerful crown magician.

If you challenge Sajo Aika like this, you will be courting death.

Carlos Carter is an assassin. If he wants to win tomorrow's game, he must use all his advantages.

That's why he thought of doing something before the game.

In fact, the reason why he was able to beat those 19 magicians in today's game was, on the one hand, his outstanding performance on the court. He relied on his excellent mind to analyze and judge the magic secrets of those idiots, and then came up with a strategy to win the game.

However, what outsiders didn't know was that Carlos Carter had secretly poisoned all 19 of them before the game started.

This poison was a special one of his family's, specifically designed to suppress the opponent's magic circuits. Its effects were very slow, making it difficult to detect. Even if they noticed something unusual, given the intense fighting on the field, the opponent would simply assume it was due to combat damage. And at that point, it was time for him to strike back.

This is also the reason why he deliberately prolonged the fighting time during the game.

However, this is also the only drawback of this poison. It takes too long to take effect. If he were facing other opponents, Carlos Carter would not be too worried. He could use his stealth skills to deal with the opponent.

However, when facing a powerful opponent like Aika Sajo, he simply had no capital to drag the game into the later stages.

So the only solution he could think of was to poison Aika Sajo and make her unconscious today, the day before the competition, so that she would not be able to participate in the competition tomorrow.

Although this idea is absurd, in such a forested terrain, as dusk turns to night, it is the most suitable time for assassination.

Moreover, Carlos Carter followed Aigo Satiao all the way and was sure that she did not discover him.

"Even if you are the youngest Grand Master Magician in history, you can't find me here!"

Carlos Carter was secretly delighted. Today he was going to accomplish something that others couldn't even imagine, poisoning Sha Tiao Ai Ge.

Carlos Carter pulled a thousand books from his pocket.

Senbon is somewhat similar to flying needles, with the characteristics of low lethality and difficulty in identifying acupuncture points. In order to increase the lethality, poison will be coated on the needles.

But the advantage is that it is small in size, not easy to detect, and highly concealed.

Carlos Carter coated the front of the book with poison. His poison only needs to touch the skin, which greatly increases the success rate of the thousand books.

Carlos Carter held a thousand books and aimed at Aika Sado in the distance.

Aim and shoot!

Dozens of poisoned Senbon shot towards Aika Sajo at once.

The moment the thousand-ball was released, Carlos Carter felt that he was going to succeed. The feeling of this launch was the best he had ever had.

The thousand swords were launched, but Sajo Aika seemed to be completely unaware of it.

Just when Senbon was about to hit Sajo Aika, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the woods and blew Senbon away.

"This is……"

Carlos Carter immediately hid. There had been no wind in the woods before, so how could it suddenly pick up? Carlos Carter thought of Sajo Aika's expertise in weather magic. Could it be that he had discovered my actions from the beginning?

A strong wind blew, directly lifting the fallen leaves on the ground and blocking Carlos Carter's vision. He felt that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his position and hid.

Because of the sudden strong wind, Aika Shajo quickly moved to a place without wind in order to avoid the wind and a large amount of fallen leaves.

"Where is this?" Aika Sajo looked up again to confirm her location. At this moment, she suddenly found that someone's butt seemed to be exposed in the bushes in front of her.

Could it be that our black brother is hiding in there, hehehe?

Aika Satiao was very scared of this, but after repeated hesitation, she couldn't resist the gossipy mood in her heart, and stepped forward to test the edge of danger.

So she went to take a look out of curiosity. The humus on the ground absorbed her footsteps, making her walk like a ghost. When she got closer, she saw

Only then did Aika Sajo realize that the man in black hiding in the bushes was actually his opponent tomorrow, Carlos Carter.

After confirming that it wasn't Lisa or Hei Gege, Sajo Aika felt a little disappointed. A good show was ruined...

Actually, I'm a very serious person and I have absolutely no interest in this kind of thing.

That's right! That's it!

But seeing Carlos squatting there for so long, maybe he saw Lisa's summary. So she stepped forward and asked:

"Good evening, Mr. Carlos!"

……

When the strong wind died down, Carlos looked forward again.

But suddenly he found that Shatiao Aige was missing!

"Sajo Aika is missing!"

"How could this be?"

"It was only a moment, how come it disappeared so suddenly?"

"Could it be that she has discovered me?"

All kinds of thoughts popped up in Carlos's head. It had only been a short while. How could Aika Sajo escape from his surveillance? She must have discovered him.

Carlos suddenly felt terrified, realizing the seriousness of the situation. If he could poison Sha Tiao Aige, he could indeed win tomorrow's match, but he had overlooked an important detail - his stealth wasn't necessarily perfect!

"We must leave here quickly. Otherwise..."

Just as Carlos Carter was about to get up and leave.

He suddenly heard the devilishly familiar greeting from Sajo Aika behind him:

"Good evening, Mr. Carlos."
