Chapter 493: Arcane Puzzle, Grand Vision

Among all kinds of competitions on the earth, it can be regarded as the best choice for small countries to counterattack. Of course, it is intellectual competition, such as Go, chess and the like.
In normal sports competitions, because of the different development levels of various countries, training equipment and equipment technology can open a very obvious gap, such as shark skin swimsuits in swimming competitions and sports shoes in running competitions.
However, in intellectual competition, these external advantages are no longer considered, and the competition points of the participants are basically controlled in pure intelligence. After all, no one can improve the winning rate by using a golden chessboard.
Xia Duo felt that the only thing the Netherite wanted to defeat the elves was to differentiate competition. The advantage or not the disadvantage of human beings lies in wisdom.
Although the long life can allow the elves to come into contact with many people and things, learn a lot of knowledge, and increase a lot of wisdom, they have not opened up an absolute gap with the Naise people.
Otherwise, there would be no snow melting competition today.
Magic ability is actually a manifestation of wisdom.
In addition, Netheril started late, but it can still develop to this level. It is the embodiment of Netherite’s wisdom. If you design a set of rules to delineate the competition in a specific field of wisdom, you may be able to defeat the elves. .
And this set of rules, there is actually a local color resistance, and a lot of puzzle board games have been passed from the elves.
It's just that due to the short lifespan of human wizards, they will not waste a lot of time on this. Therefore, unless they are really clever and extremely clever, it will be difficult to defeat the elves who don't spare time on this.
The new rules will temporarily keep the level of both sides consistent. If the subsequent snowmelt competition still uses it, perhaps the color resistance mages will also conduct targeted training.
Of course, this is a funeral, and there is no need for Xia Duo to worry about it. All he has to do now is to submit a set of rules. As for chess or Go, he is considering.
However, the so-called consideration is actually a rotation of one or two thoughts. Xia Duo quickly made a decision. Only from the perspective of quiz, Go is undoubtedly more suitable.
However, the new project of the snow melting competition cannot be completely set up as an intellectual competition. After all, it is an arcane competition. Magical abilities must be reflected. In this regard, chess with a large number of battles is more appropriate.
The chess after the magic change is called "Arcane Puzzle Game" by Xia Duo. Apart from the localization of the names of the chess pieces, the biggest change is that the chess pieces are truly lethal.
For example, [Cannon] becomes a spell that can attack the opponent's piece by jumping over a piece of one's side. [Pawn] and [Pawn] become a melee contact spell, and others are similar.
Competitors play chess in accordance with the rules of chess. However, in addition to the attacks between the pieces, the participants can also use spells to interfere or assist.
In other words, the element of spell showdown is added to the game of capturing pieces, but the pieces have the advantage of first attack, and it is not easy for participants to interfere with spells.
Generally speaking, it is still biased towards intelligence, but it can also be related to magic.
As for the specific spell design and manufacturing of the chess pieces, Xia Duo only provided an idea. He believed that the great arcane masters would definitely be able to design more localized spell chess pieces.
After submitting this [Arcane Fan Game] competition plan through Niya, Xia Duo ignored the follow-up, because he had also submitted two plans before, similar to the big stomach king, and later there was no more text. .
With the ridicule of the elf, it was basically killed.
As for the current situation, Xia Duo actually didn't have much in his heart, but that was all he could do. Too much energy was involved for this, and some of the gains outweighed the gains.
Just the second day after Xia Duo submitted her plan, Niya suddenly sent a message, in the voice, "Xia Duo, do you know? Your plan was left by the teacher, and it will be discussed within the Seven Towers later. If it is passed, the new project of the snow melting competition will definitely be the [Arcane Fan Game]!"
Niya's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy, and even a hint of pride, Xia Duo didn't take this matter too seriously, he had already done what he could do.
Whether the plan is adopted or killed, it will actually not affect him.
This matter has passed.
Even a day later, when I was notified by Niya again that the plan had been adopted, Xia Duo only smiled. Compared with this, he was more interested in the new project proposed by the wizard.
This point was also mentioned in Niya's latest message. After Netheril confirmed the new project, the Elves also notified the new project.
An arcane contest called "Grand Illusion" requires participants to cast illusion spells to create the most spectacular or peculiar scene they can imagine.
From the mundane (such as the beautiful image of a lady) to the epic (such as the true reappearance of a great battle) to the whimsical (countless butterflies blooming and dancing on the tall golden tree, leaving behind a faint beautiful light band).
As for the results of the competition, it is judged in terms of the size, exquisiteness, fidelity and imagination of the illusions created by the contestants.
In this regard, Xia Duo also had to sigh, he is indeed an elf, and he deserves to be playing art.
According to the elves, the greatest and noblest art is magic~EbookFREE.me~ But the manifestation of art is not only magic itself, but also other aspects.
Xia Duo projected the elves twice, and he understood the nature of the elves quite well. He felt that this time the snow melting competition, the color-resistant mage, should be very difficult to score in the [Grand Vision] category.
Humans rely on wisdom, and elves rely on art. Both sides have chosen to focus on trying to smooth out each other's advantages. It's really fantastic!
...
At the same time, in Seventon in April, representatives of the Seven Towers met again.
"This time Comanso came prepared, and those long ears like these flashy things!" A great arcanist was indignant.
"If you don't like it, you can give me your holiday manor in the east!"
"Uh-" The great arcanist who spoke before stopped talking. The manor was built in an elf style. It's hard to say if it's practical or not, but it looks true!
"It doesn't matter if you are usually noisy. When is the time now, you should stop fighting." Budigaal of Gustav's Tower made his face stern, showing an unhappy expression.
The great arcanists may all have powerful magic, but when implemented in specific battles, some combat talents are needed to perfectly display this power.
The representatives of the Seven Towers are mostly qualified scholars, but not necessarily qualified fighters.
As recognized as the strongest fighter in the Seven Towers, Badigar's attitude is still valued by others. As soon as he expressed his stance, the others were quiet.
Of course, Badigar is a qualified scholar and a qualified fighter, but not necessarily a qualified diplomat or strategist. After everyone calmed down, he returned the topic to the purpose of this meeting:
"Then what should we do now?"
