In the misty square, sparse figures began to appear.

On the edge of the square, a man wearing a black robe, a bow and arrow on his back, and a hood slowly came over.

This is the square in front of the Puppet Palace.

"Hmm? What's going on? These puppet soldiers are actually safe with the wizard apprentices?" Lance stood on the edge of the square and looked over with some strangeness.

At the end of the square, there was a towering puppet city royal palace. Before the palace, many puppet soldiers were on guard, but facing the large number of wizard apprentices in the square, they did not take action!

This is obviously unreasonable. You should know that under normal circumstances, puppets in puppet cities will choose to kill themselves when facing wizards.

The number of wizards in the square also scared Lance.

There are at least a hundred wizard apprentices here! And half of them are higher apprentices!

This situation confused Lance. He walked over quickly.

"So many people gather here...how did they start fighting each other?"

Before Lance got closer, some wizard apprentices in the square began a melee.

He immediately stopped and checked carefully.

After a moment, Lance saw the clue. The wizard apprentice in the entire square was divided into four areas, and a giant white tree grew in the center of each area. At the top of the big tree, there was a gold-burned invitation-like thing hanging. These wizard apprentice seemed to fight for this invitation.

The four major areas, southeast, west and north, were all marked with thick red lines. Many advanced apprentices rely on their high magic power to step into the red line and start to grab it. While more junior apprentices chose to stand outside the thick red lines, gathered together in groups of three or two, looking like watching a show.

It looks safe at least outside the red line.

Lance walked over.

His eyes swept across the audience and immediately understood the current situation.

In the east area, a black shadow suddenly soared into the sky. While laughing wildly, he rushed to the treetops and took the invitation as soon as possible. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. When they saw the man clearly, they showed a look of enlightenment. The vulture Pansas was the first to get the invitation. The higher apprentices in the east area all looked as if they were ashen when they saw Pansas appearing, and they all looked as if they were ashen. One person hesitated for a moment, but quickly withdrew from the area. However, the other two higher apprentices looked at each other, climbed up the big tree, held up the staff, and began to bombard Pansas in turn!

The northern area was in a mess, and Lance also saw Alice inside. However, when he saw the forbidden spell wizard Wesley who slowly stepped into the field, he knew that the ownership of the invitation in this area was almost clear.

In the western region, an advanced apprentice from Rainbow Island used a level 1 group attack spell extremely domineeringly, and even launched a fierce attack on all opponents in this area. His mana was extremely powerful, almost like Pansas, at around 95 and 96 o'clock. Such fierce clearing behavior would naturally attract a strong rebound from everyone, and the rest of them took action one after another, wanting to invite him out first.

The most chaotic fight was the southern area, where there were more than a dozen people gathered here, not only were there high-level apprentices, but there were actually many junior apprentices. They hugged each other and resisted the attacks of others. Since the southern area was the most people, after fighting for a while, no one could climb the big tree in the center. The reason was very simple. Once someone approached the big tree, the rest of the people joined forces to use spells to bombard them back!

...

"It's so messy... are everyone snatching the invitation? What does this mean?" Lance was a little confused.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly came over.

"Mr. Lance!"

Lance looked over with some surprise and it turned out to be Martha.

"It's a good thing to see you..." Martha's spirit looked very depressed. She looked at Lance with some joy: "Senior Sister Alice said you must have been killed by the monster in the Puppet City, so I don't believe it."

"Hello, Martha..." Lance smiled: "Do you know what those invitations are useful?"

"Invitation?" Martha was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, pointed to the white giant tree and said, "Are you talking about the palace ticket?"

"Ticket?" Lance frowned.

"Yes, there are four tickets in total." Martha explained in a low voice: "When Senior Sister Alice and I arrived here, the four tickets were hung on it. Seeing that there were no guards in front of the Puppet City Royal Palace, these guards were different from other puppets, they obeyed Princess Hero. It is said that this time, Princess Hero specially issued four tickets. As long as you hold these four tickets, you can be invited by her to enter the palace after the battle ends."

"No one wants to confront Princess Hero's dolls head-on. Every time the Puppet City is open, someone will try it, but they fail without exception. This time there is a turning point. It is said that the battle for tickets is just the first step. Those who are invited will enter the Puppet City Palace and conduct the next round of competition. The winner will receive the reward of Princess Hero..."

Martha whispered.

"The reward is a magic doll?" Lance asked back, "Will they even believe such a ridiculous thing?"

Martha shook her head and said, "Apart from a very small number of people who come here, even higher apprentices are basically hopeless in promotion. These people are here to fight desperately... Alas, and we are really fools. At first, I thought that I could make a fortune in the Puppet City with Senior Sister Alice and Lord Sack..."

Half of her cheeks were concave and her appearance was indescribable, but Lance suddenly felt that this girl was much more pleasing to her than when she first met her.

"After all, it's just a girl who is a little weak, a little greedy, and a little snobbish." Lance said with a wry smile. Although there seemed to be a little more shortcomings, there were not many such people on Earth in his previous life?

Martha, who had experienced several life and death crises, became obviously mature. Lance's disgust towards her gradually disappeared.

"These people fought to the death. Even if someone got the ticket and was invited by Princess Hero... But who knows whether these puppets will suddenly change their minds? If there is any mechanism in the palace, it will be difficult to escape." Lance looked at the wizard apprentices who were in a state of fanaticism, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

These people are all guys who are excited by the rewards given by the three major wizard organizations. They are not thinking about danger, but they don’t want to think about it at all. The cruelty of the wizard world is that for those who have no hope of promotion, what they lack is not mind or courage, but an opportunity that can make them give their mind and courage.

The tickets for entry are such an opportunity. Once you grab the tickets, you will have the opportunity to obtain magic dolls, thereby changing your destiny in one fell swoop.

...

The place where Lance and Martha are standing is the edge of the southern area. It is also the most chaotic place in the battle.

"Mr. Lance, let's step back a little bit." Martha reminded: "If you stand close to the red line, you will be considered a potential competitor by the wizards inside."

Lance nodded. The two of them took a few steps back.

"What is the time limit for the battle?" Lance asked casually.

Martha replied: "A day and night. More than a day has passed now, and about ten hours are left. Almost everyone who wants to take action has joined the battle."

"I have to go and see how Ellie Ellie is doing." She said this and then prepared to walk towards the northern area.

Who knew that at this moment, a terrifying fireball suddenly hit out of the combat area and hit Martha hard!

The poor girl was caught off guard and was hit by a huge fireball. Not only was she smashed and flew out, but the super-high temperature flames also instantly flooded her body!

She couldn't even make a scream and lay weakly on the ground.

Lance was shocked and rushed over with all his strength. The magic flames were burning, and he could not extinguish it for a while.

In just a few seconds, Martha's burnt body stinked.

Lance turned around angrily and saw an apprentice from Rainbow Island in the southern area looking at him coldly, slowly warning: "Get away, rookie."

"If you don't want to die, don't watch the show. I can't help but kill you."
