Chapter 222 Private Competition
"A private contest of wise men."
"The champion's reward is the special [One Series of God Machine 10.2 Personal Edition], and each successful promotion will give you a Mora reward. If you reach the quarterfinals, you can get an epic one-handed sword or an epic magic weapon. If you reach the semifinals, you can choose a spell secret book/sword secret book."
"There are so many rewards. The organizer must be very wealthy." Traveler Kong couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the notice in front of him.
"Haha, young man, you have been in Inazuma for a short time, right?" asked a scholar who was also reading the notice.
"Yes, I've only been in Inazuma for about half a year," Sora answered truthfully.
"The organizer of this competition is Inazuma's attendant record officer, Master Renlian Lingyi. Of course, he has a more famous title, the Distant Wisdom, and is Inazuma's greatest scholar." The scholar said enthusiastically, "[One Series of Ten Thousand Divine Machines] is his invention. This great invention is the gospel of all scholars."
The scholar looked like a fanatical missionary, which really scared Sora.
However, this scholar's sentiment can only be said to be common in Inazuma, because this is the reputation of Ren Lian Lingyi in the entire Inazuma scholar community.
Compared to the rotation system of Sumi scholars, Inazuma is both the founder and the guide of Inazuma scholars. In daily research, Ren Lian Lingyi's creations are even more their helpers.
Inazuma scholars who came out of such an environment, unless they were truly talented and able to maintain their self-identity amidst a vast amount of knowledge, would have been passively brainwashed by others and become devout followers of Ren Lian Lingyi.
However, Ren Lian Lingyi was not very clear about this. The distribution of Inazuma's power of faith had always been distributed by Ming Shen himself. Although Ren Lian Lingyi received a lot more power of faith than before, he was not too concerned about this, so he actually didn't know about this at all.
"So what exactly is this 'Private Competition of Wise Men'? What is it about?" The traveler was very envious when he saw the rewards mentioned in the announcement.
"For details, please go to the 'One Series of Divine Machines' section of the Hanami Board." The scholar said, pointing to a line of faintly visible small characters at the bottom of the notice.
"I see you're an outsider who told you this. The competition actually started the moment the notice was posted. The first test is your eyesight. This is a special printed watermark. You can only see this line of words at a certain angle."
"Of course, if you are a primordial god and can use elemental power, you can also see clearly with elemental vision. This is a privilege given to primordial gods."
Sora scratched his head and said "I don't have the Eye of God, but I can use Elemental Vision."
As he opened the elemental vision, he found a line of small words like this below the announcement.
"Okay, I'm glad you can see it. I won't talk to you anymore. I also need to go to Hanami-no-Otsuki's 'One Series of Divine Machines' to see what the rules of the competition are." The scholar left in a hurry.
Sora stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Although he felt that this competition was a bit weird, he still decided to go and have a look. After all, it was almost equivalent to a competition officially organized by Inazuma, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Sora went to Hanami-no-Ota and saw the so-called [One Series of Divine Machine]. To be honest, it was quite shocking, especially after hearing about the function of this little thing, Sora became even more eager for it.
"There are three conditions that need to be met in the audition stage of the Private Contest of the Wise."
"They are 'the invitation of the wise', 'the question of the wise' and 'the vision of the wise'"
"'Invitation from the Wise': The Wise has placed 1,000 invitations in random patterns in Inazuma Castle and Hanami-no-Ota. You can advance to the next round by relying on luck and strength to get an invitation."
"'Questions of the Wise': The Wise have set up many puzzles, and the first 500 people who answer the most correctly will advance to the next round, which tests your knowledge."
"'The Eyes of the Wise': The Wise has opened up a small secret realm with many monsters. In this level, you must rely on your strength or knowledge , or even rely on others to defeat those monsters. The first 256 people will pass the audition."
"Next is the main competition, 'Wise Man's Debate'. You will choose the philosophy you want to join, and then there will be three rounds of debate to decide the top 32. This is the competition that truly tests your vision ."
"Because both sides' arguments will have various shortcomings, the main role of the contestants is to discover their own and the opponent's shortcomings, and then make up for their own shortcomings or attack the opponent's shortcomings."
"Then there are the semi-finals. 'The Wisdom of the Wise' will be divided into three rounds to decide the top 16, top 8, and top 4."
"The final, 'The Power of the Wise', will determine the champion, runner-up and third place."
The competition still takes a lot of time.
For example, the three rounds of auditions took a full month and a half.
The main competition was also given two weeks and the semi-finals were given one week.
As for the finals, we only know the name of the finals and nothing else has been revealed.
The scholars and warriors who received information about the competition from the [One Series of Divine Machines] began their own preparations, and Lian Kong could not help but immediately take action.
Because he heard that after this matter spreads in a few days, there will probably be more people coming to Narukami Island to participate in the competition.
However, the organizers do not seem to care too much about the advantage of the locals of Inazuma Castle and Hanamiita, and it is unknown how they will balance it.
"Forget it, it's none of my business. I'd better find an invitation quickly." The traveler thought and felt that he stepped on something.
I picked up the garbage for some unknown reason.
The garbage burst into white smoke and its appearance became gorgeous.
"Invitation to the private competition of the wise. Congratulations, Traveler Kong has qualified to participate."
This... After careful identification, Kong also confirmed that the invitation was real, and the traveler said he had won.
At this time, a civet cat ran over in a panic.
He was mumbling something like "Oh no, it's over, I lost the invitation."
"Hey~ Tanuki monster, are you looking for this?" Kong waved the invitation in his hand.
The tanuki seemed to not expect anyone to see him, and was startled by the traveler, before he heard clearly what Kong said.
He took the invitation, looked at it, and then said with a sad face that the invitation had been activated by him.
"Forget it, since you have already activated the invitation, I'll just consider it as a gift to you." The raccoon cat ran away with a sour look on his face.
These raccoon cats were little monsters . They were responsible for hiding some of the invitations using their unique raccoon magic.
Of course, they are only responsible for part of it.
