In order to change this idea of the other mages, and at the same time to achieve his own goals, Sok used this method to expand Rhodes' influence among the mages.
Soon, not long after Rhodes and Elon arrived on the field, the last mage to enter the finals also arrived.
Unlike Rhodes and North, this mage did not come from the lord's territory, but from another magic academy. Although the effect of the potion he refined was average, it still exceeded the other mages, so he entered the finals.
When all the finalists arrived, Sock stopped waiting. Under the gaze of all the mages on the field, Sok raised his hands and began to cast spells.
Following a strong fluctuation of mana, a green crack began to appear in the space in the center of the field. The crack slowly expanded, and finally stabilized after reaching a certain volume, forming the passage of the Gate of Time and Space.
Due to the long distance between the two places, the speed at which the Gate of Time and Space opened was also affected, far exceeding anything Rhode had ever seen. As a result, Rhodes was able to completely observe the formation process of the Gate of Time and Space.
After the gate of time and space opened, Sock explained some matters related to the finals to Rhodes and other players.
"When you arrive at the Holy Spirit Magic Academy in the City of Winter, you still have one day to prepare before the finals begin. The badge you finally get is the certificate to participate in the finals."
"The rules of the finals are the same as the second stage of the rematch. You are required to show your true strength and refine the most powerful potion. However, this time, the opponents you have to face are also in potion competitions in other regions. The winner.”
"If you really don't have the confidence to refine a powerful magic potion, you should spend this day taking a good look inside the Winter City. The environment there is not comparable to this. But if you have the strength to compete for the finals ranking, you still need to Think carefully about what kind of potion you should refine in the finals during this day."
At the end of his speech, Sok turned his attention completely to Rhodes. Obviously, Sock's last words were specifically for Rhodes.
Among what Sok said, what concerned Rhodes the most was that he still had one day to prepare after arriving at the Winter City. With this day's preparation time, Rhodes also has a lot of confidence in the upcoming finals.
After explaining these matters, under the guidance of Sok, Rhodes, who was first in line, took the lead in entering the gate of time and space.
Following a wave of mana, Rhodes reappeared walking out of a teleportation monument. Following Rhodes was Elon who entered with him.
At this time, Rhodes was in the center of the Winter City. Built around the teleportation monument is a large square.
Arriving at the City of Winter and looking at everything around him, Rhodes felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
In the previous game, Rhodes arrived in the city of severe winter and studied spells for a long time in the spell academy here. Rhodes seemed extremely familiar with everything in the city, but when Rhodes arrived here again, his identity was no longer as simple as a mage in his previous life.
Rhodes recalled that in the City of Winter, there was the most highly rated magic academy in Brakada, the Holy Spirit Magic Academy. This time, this place was chosen as the location for the finals of the potion competition, also due to the existence of the Holy Spirit Magic Academy.
Rhodes was extremely impressed by the Holy Spirit Magic Academy, whether it was the mages that existed there or some of the secrets within the academy. Among them, the one who impressed Rhodes the most was Eric, the dean of the Holy Spirit Magic Academy.
Eric himself is an extremely powerful seventh-level mage. In the entire Brakada, there are not many people who can surpass him. But he focused entirely on cultivating other mages.
Over the years, Eric has trained countless high-level mages for Brakada. Eric has also devoted himself to managing the affairs of the academy. It can be said that Eric has already done everything he can. It's done to the best of its ability.
Any mage who knows Eric will have deep admiration for him. In his previous life, Rhodes also received guidance from Eric in the process of learning spells. Facing such a mage, even Rhodes at this time would hardly have any hostility unless his stance was completely opposite.
Eric's existence infected many mages in Bracadane. It is precisely because Brakada has always had mages like Eric that even though its entire body has decayed, as the most important part of it, the Magic Academy has not been greatly affected.
In Rhodes' memory, the protagonist of the second expansion pack, the peerless necromancer, also studied at the Holy Spirit Magic Academy in the City of Winter, and studied under Eric, but he just went on to The exact opposite path from Eric.
Arriving at the Holy Spirit Magic Academy, Rhodes' first target was the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce.
After Sok's reminder, Rhodes has learned that the real final of the potion competition will come one day. During this day, the mages who enter the final can participate in the academy event held here in the city of severe winter. middle.
Rhodes' plan is to use this time to complete the collection of refining materials.
Currently, the materials Rhodes has are only enough for him to complete the refining of the perfect potion. But Rhodes clearly understood that being able to refine a perfect potion did not necessarily mean he could win the potion competition. What's more, I have already refined the perfect potion once, and the effect of refining it again is far less shocking than the first time.
News about the perfect potion will surely spread with the arrival of the other mages from the Ice Blue Magic Academy. When the finals officially begin, any mage who collects the information will know about the emergence of the perfect potion and make early preparations.
This is also the meaning of what Sok specially explained to Rhodes before leaving.
Due to the limitations of the Fairy Spring itself, no matter how Rhodes refines it, the effect of the perfect potion cannot be greater than that of the previous bottle. For this reason, Rhodes had no choice but to collect other rare materials and change the type of potion he refined.
In Ice Blue Magic Academy, Rhodes had this plan, but due to the appearance of Els, Rhodes' original plan was completely disrupted. Until now, Rhodes still has not collected enough materials.
Just when Rhodes was about to go to the magic guild to make a deal, his movements were all watched by another mage.
