In addition to signaling to Rhodes, this man did not alert the other observing mages around the venue, but walked towards the venue on his own.
The mages who stayed in place to observe had different thoughts in their hearts.
Some people simply want to confirm their possible opponents, while others are trying to see from these players on the field their methods of refining potions, as well as the most critical potion formula.
When refining potions, the formula can be said to be the most critical point. The value of a potion formula may even be much higher than the value of a spell.
If a mage has excellent eyesight, even if he has no previous knowledge of potions, he can rely on his own eagle eye technique to learn many new things in this kind of potion competition by observing the methods of other mages.
For the surrounding spectators, the potion competition does not impose too many restrictions. Whether they can seize this opportunity and learn any special skills depends on the wizard's own ability.
As if he noticed the man looking at Rhodes when he left, Elon took the initiative to introduce his identity to Rhodes.
In the process of uniting surrounding lords, Ailon spent different amounts of energy depending on the strength of each lord and the depth of contact with the necromancer.
Although Brakada's territory is vast, there are only a large number of academies in the center. Only around the borders and in some unimportant locations are there a large number of lords who have separated from the mage academy.
Not all lords are willing to see the Necromancer reappear. Some lords join forces with necromancers just to obtain some magic knowledge, but are not willing to actually participate in these matters.
Among these lords with different attitudes, there are naturally many lords who have been colluding with the necromancer for a long time. Compared to these lords, the interior of Ailon's territory is quite normal. At least the necromancer cannot act at will and needs to follow Ailon's instructions.
After Elon's introduction, Rhodes learned that this man was also a necromancer, and he belonged to a force where necromancers were most rampant. The magic guild's many attempts to crack down on necromancers were all suppressed by the people in this territory. The lord pressed down forcefully.
However, in Rhode's perception, he could not find any traces of the Necromancer from this man, and even the peeping eyes could not get accurate information.
Rhodes knew that this man also used a method to prevent his abnormality from being exposed. Perhaps he also had treasures provided by the Spirit Society to hide his identity.
Due to the extremely wide area around the venue, not many people noticed this man's appearance.
After Sok finished explaining the rules of the potion competition, the first trial of the potion competition officially began. Except for some mages who could remain calm and observe the surroundings, the rest of the mages were eager to go on stage and try it out.
Although the requirements for completing the preliminary examination are extremely simple, they appear to be stricter in some aspects, that is, there is only one opportunity to try.
Once he goes on the field to refine, but the refining fails, and no qualified potion is produced, then this person will have no chance in this potion competition.
Even if the consequences of failure are more serious, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of these mages. At one time, there were too many mages trying to take the field.
Although the potion competition has only just begun, Rhodes has already seen many refining failures so far.
The expressions of the mages after their failure also caught Rhode's attention. Some mages looked extremely upset after their failures, obviously not expecting that they had failed in such a simple refining process. Some mages seemed indifferent and were just here to try it out. , and went to participate in other activities of the college event.
The attitudes of mages towards potion competitions are also different. Some mages regard it as an entertainment activity, while some mages regard it as a way to prove themselves.
While Rhodes was observing these mages, there were some exclamations in the field.
Following the direction of the call, Rhodes looked over and happened to see the man from before, in another area of the competition field.
Due to the methods required to refine potions, during the process of preparing these refining instruments, the site was divided into two areas by the type of instruments.
In one of the main areas, the instruments installed are mainly iron cauldrons, used for the initial brewing of herbs. At the same time, this area is also the location with the largest number of people.
In another area, there are some fine silver instruments that can refine crude potions, but in the initial test, it seems that this step is not necessary.
In the process of refining potions, usually the initial boiling process is completed in a large pot to obtain crude potions, and then the crude potions are refined through a series of methods to obtain Concentrated potion with stronger effects.
In the preliminary test of the potion competition, since there is no limit on the quality of the potion, the participating mages can completely skip the refining step and directly hand in the crude potion as their own finished product.
At this time, almost no mage could be seen in the area where the magic potion was refined. The area where a large number of mages were concentrated was still the location where the crude potion was first made.
In this case, a mage who took the initiative to come to the magic potion refining area naturally attracted the attention of all the surrounding mages.
In the process of refining potions, more complex instruments need to be used. Without sufficient research on potions in advance, some mages may not even understand how to use these instruments.
Many of the mages who were observing the surroundings did not learn about the existence of the potion competition until after the academy event started. Naturally, they had no idea how to use these weird-shaped refining instruments.
Through the explanations of mages who know a little bit about how to refine potions, these mages also have a general understanding of the refining process of potions and know that they need to be boiled first and then refined.
At this time, when they saw a player who walked directly to the refining equipment without brewing, these mages just thought he didn't understand potion science at all, and couldn't help but laugh a little.
The strange movement that Rhodes noticed was precisely because of this.
However, through Elon's introduction, Rhodes already knew that this man was also a necromancer sent by the Spirit Society to participate in the potion competition. He could not be completely ignorant of potions. He obviously had his own purpose in doing so.
Sure enough, just as Rhodes was thinking this, the man also made a move.
