Chapter 457: Chapter 126: The Hunting Meeting Ends_1

"If you two have finished your idle chatter, could someone please open a window?" The portrait of the wandering wizard hanging on the door suddenly spoke, complaining: "Through a layer of glass, I always feel like there’s a milky white veil over my eyes... tsk, it’s ghastly not to have a body."

Neville tilted his head and glanced at the chattering wandering wizard behind the door.

While he was discussing membership terms with the fat wizard, the wizard in the painting was looking earnestly at the Hunting Meeting in the Eye of the Vortex through a telescope that was also part of the painting.

This made him curious - did a painted telescope also have the same viewing feature?

However, in front of his new leader, the newly joined male wizard of the Auspicious Society did not ask too many questions. He just looked at the wandering wizard a few more times with a surprised look on his face.

Compared to Neville, Sepulano was much more casual.

Perhaps because he had just concluded an agreement with a talent, the fat wizard’s mood finally improved a little, even showing a hint of a smile when talking - or it might be more apt to describe it as a ’gruesome grin’.

"You’re just a painting," the fat wizard rubbed his hands cheerfully, as he walked towards the large glass window at the end of the rest room, jesting: "Although some runes were blended into the linen canvas and paint, that can’t change the fact that you don’t have eyes... Of course, in order to maintain the tradition of friendly cooperation between the Auspicious Society and the Wandering Bar, I don’t mind opening this window for you."

"If you put more energy into hunting than the petty routine of this small club, perhaps our friendly tradition could last a little longer..."

The grumbling of the wandering wizard had not ended, when it was drowned out by the loud noise from outside the window.

After Sepulano opened the window, the various noises that had originally been circling above the Hunting Ground seemed to have found a vent, rushing in bountifully.

Cheers, shouts, the occasional rapid drumming from the Starry Sky academy camp, a few fireworks rising in Jiuyou Academy’s space, and all sorts of things, too numerous to mention.

Little John Neville’s furrowed eyebrows hadn’t smoothed out yet when they were squeezed together again by a loud roar.

"No! What did I see!!"

The commentator’s yelling came out of the speaker flowers:

"It’s a snipe!!"

"A splendid snipe!"

"School Hunting Team!"

"The University’s School Hunting Team!!"

"Five hunters from the School Hunting Team have arrived late but jumped in first, seizing the initiative on the final battlefield!"

"Under the leadership of Captain Lei Zhe, the School Hunting Team used team space magic to bypass the Arbitration Hunting Team, inserting themselves from the side into the scene where Erwin Hoffman is confronting the demon deer!"

"The School Hunting Team is the first to arrive on the battlefield!! This result is beyond everyone’s expectations! We can already hear the uproar coming from the stands all around the hunting field..."

There is no need for the commentator in the speaker flower to explain continually.

From the ever-increasing noise flowing from outside the window, Neville already knew the thrilling turn of events happening on the hunting field.

He couldn’t help but grab the notebook on the table, took two quick steps towards the window, trying to see a bit clearer.

But the world inside the Eye of the Vortex was so vast that in his eagerness, he couldn’t even find the site of the confrontation between the demon deer and the School Hunting Team.

"You should be calculating the odds now," the fat wizard turned his head, his small black eyes nearly squinted to a tiny slit, and in a voice that, although was not loud, clearly echoed in the rest room: "Maybe we can raise our profits a bit more."

The wizard with the blue-green eyes nodded repeatedly, recalculating the opening odds according to the current expectations, while pricking his ears to catch every word coming from the speaker flower.

"...The School Hunting Team has established a cordon!"

"...Their main hunter and two auxiliary hunters are advancing fast towards the demon deer from three directions using the classic ’equilateral strategy’... Under absolutely advantageous conditions, this is a very prudent tactic!"

"...The School Hunting Team’s scout appears in front of Hoffman! The two scouts are confronting each other!... Hoffman is restrained, he is forced to give up the prey in front of him!!"

"And the School Hunting Team’s wandering hunter! He actually smeared demon blood on his body, imitating the form of the demon deer, and swooped past the Arbitration Hunting Team from the front!... Very bold but smart. The Arbitration Hunting Team got fooled... their team slightly deviated from the original path and was drawn away by the wandering hunter from the School Hunting Team."

"The School Hunting Team has already locked in the final victory!"

"There’s nothing standing between them and victory anymore!... Oh, maybe that demon deer doesn’t think so... It’s leaping up, trying to escape?"

"I have to say, its decision to escape is a bit late."

"...Now, Lei Zhe is using the ultimate version of the ’Winding Curse’—Ivywood Galingale!"

"Mad vines are spreading in all directions, in the air, under the ground, twining vines are occupying every corner, completely blocking all escape routes of that demon deer!"

"Oh, poor Hoffman, although he was the first to spot the demon deer, his hunting team won’t be crowned the winners of this hunting meeting."

After saying this with a regretful tone, the announcer suddenly changed the subject, raising his voice and shouted:

"If everything goes as planned, the best hunting team and the best hunter of this Hunting Meeting have been decided... Even though they come from two different hunting teams, they are both the pride of the top university!"

"Let’s congratulate Erwin Hoffman and the university’s hunting team in advance!"

"Congratulations to Hoffman for maintaining his crown as the best hunter from the top university!"

"Congratulations to the top university’s hunting team for maintaining their long-lasting glory and honor!!"

"Also, let’s congratulate them for taking the lead in all the events of the Hunting Meeting, winning the first round of victory points!"

"Let’s all wish them well!"

"Best wishes to Erwin Hoffman for continuously setting new records in the upcoming hunts!"

"Best wishes to the University’s Hunting Meeting for extending their eternal brilliance!!"

The announcer read the script with a passionate tone - but it was clear, despite the help of numerous loudspeaker flowers, his voice was much weaker compared to the loud discussions coming from the surrounding stands.

"Judging team has been snatched by the university’s hunting team!"

"I gambled on the mist grass! I backed the university’s hunting team to win! But they only achieved 70% completion! Their hunter can go eat shit!"

"Nonsense, who the fuck would have thought that there’d be two winners in this hunting meeting!"

"Who’s the hunter of the University’s hunting team?!! I’ll pay a gold bean to have the Wandering Wizard curse him!!"

"Count me in! I’ve lost one jade coin today, I don’t care about a gold bean or two! I want the shitty hunter from the university’s team to have nightmares for a week!"

"One week is not long enough! One month! No, one year!!"

"Let’s do it, let’s do it... count me in!"

Window.

Sepulano snapped his fingers, and the previously open window closed with a bang.

The resting room returned to its previous tranquility.

"Ohoh... we’ve got business coming." The Wandering Wizard’s slick voice echoed from behind the door: "Boys, hold on... we need to make a quick trip to the Wandering Bar, give our people a heads up, raise some prices."

By the time Neville turned around, that painting frame was empty.

The wizard with blue-green eyes wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, mourned the young wizards who just lost a sum of money in the hunting field for a few seconds, then pushed the calculated scribbled paper to the fat wizard.

"If we calculate it based on the final result, with the Judging Team getting the best hunter, and the University Hunting Team getting both the best hunting team and the championship of the Hunting Meeting, our profits would significantly increase..."

Before he could finish, the piece of paper was shoved back into his arms by Sepulano.

"You can submit a more comprehensive report later." The fat wizard stretched his arm, happily turning to walk out of the lounge: "We should now appear outside the hunting field, waiting to congratulate the hunting team that maintained their glory and brilliance..."

"What a fantastic match!" Neville put away his notebook and exclaimed.

"It’s just a fabulous show." Sepulano laughed softly, striding into the dark, winding corridor.
