Chapter 389: The Glory Coliseum
In addition to abundant elemental essence mineral resources, the entertainment industry within the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place is also thriving. Besides opera, casinos, polo, and other forms of entertainment, competitive performances starring extraordinary individuals are also one of the main sources of income for the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place.
Among them, the most famous performance venue is the largest open-air coliseum in Element Soul City—the Glory Coliseum.
The Glory Coliseum not only boasts a massive venue capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators simultaneously, but it also features various magic crystal screens for projecting and magnifying images, as well as high-level magic arrays that can transform into different elemental fields, all of which were built by the Glory Coliseum with immense investment.
“Oh my goodness, just thinking about a huge crowd coming to watch live that day makes me incredibly nervous—”
“The assessment for Wizard Invention involves patent confidentiality and will not be open to the public.”
Although Gavin-Tuer spoke in a very low voice, Lily-Meg, who was sitting next to him, could still hear him clearly.
“Not only that, but Alchemy, Potions, and Medical trials will also not be held in public due to their low entertainment value.”
Hearing Lily-Meg’s words, Jia Na immediately realized that among all the trial assessments, only the Transformation Trial would be held at the Glory Coliseum.
“Professor, does that mean that only Jia Na will have her public trial at the Glory Coliseum then?”
Hearing that he wouldn't have to show his face, Gavin-Tuer, who suffered from slight social anxiety, couldn't help but relax a bit. However, his gaze towards Jia Na inevitably carried a hint of “schadenfreude.”
“Theoretically, yes. The assessment mechanism of the Transformation Trial dictates that there will inevitably be combat during the trial, and the fights between Wizard Apprentices are the biggest draw for those coliseums selling tickets.”
Just as Lily-Meg said, even before the Professional Joint Trial began, the rights to host and broadcast the Andrew Gamp Transformation Trial were fiercely contested by various coliseums.
After all, normally, the protagonists of coliseum performances are often ordinary extraordinary individuals like knights and alien warriors; Wizard Apprentices never appear in the coliseums.
And this time, as a Transformation Trial participated in entirely by Wizard Apprentices, such an extremely rare spectacle is bound to attract a large number of combat sports enthusiasts to the arena.
Not to mention anything else, just the inherent mysterious aura of wizards, and their formidable strength that ordinary people can only dream of,
all make the wizard group synonymous with being unapproachable.
Therefore, when ordinary people learn that they can witness the struggle of powerful wizards firsthand by spending a certain amount of money, it will inevitably attract a large flow of people to the coliseum.
And a huge flow of people means ticket revenue far exceeding the usual, as well as immeasurable commercial value. For example, GG business invitations, endorsement naming rights, traffic exposure, and even, to some extent, it will drive tourism in the Element Soul Wizard Gathering Place, thereby stimulating consumption and driving the development of the entire industry chain.
“Da da da da—”
Under Goblin Billy's driving, Jia Na and her group quickly returned to the Crystal Rose Hotel.
“Lord Meg, I shall take my leave then. If you need anything, please feel free to contact Billy—and of course, the two beautiful wizard ladies.”
Because they had lunch in a private room at the Taste Bud Storm Restaurant, Jia Na didn't deliberately cover her face anymore. Therefore,
it wasn't until noon today that Goblin Billy truly saw Jia Na's true appearance.
And upon first glimpsing Jia Na's true appearance, Goblin Billy's emotions ranged from amazement and shock to the excitement of a fan meeting their idol.
Like Goblin Grey, who works at the Bauhinia Bank in Turin City, Goblin Billy is also a loyal opera enthusiast.
And his favorite character played by Jia Na was not Olivia from the most widely circulated song of the ocean,
but the teenage Natasha played by Jia Na in blood shadow rose.
“Come to my room at six o’clock this afternoon, both of you. Don’t be late.”
“Alright, Professor.”
After giving instructions to Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer, Lily-Meg went upstairs first and returned to her room.
“How about it? Do you want to go out and explore this afternoon?”
Seeing that Lily-Meg had gone upstairs, Gavin-Tuer, who had been holding back for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, then pulled Jia Na aside and whispered in her ear.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
With that, the two, who were in perfect agreement, smiled and exchanged glances. After escaping Lily-Meg’s “supervision,” they finally didn't have to be restrained anymore and rushed out of the Crystal Rose Hotel, heading towards the busiest commercial street in Element Soul City...
“Click—”
Accompanying the sound of the key turning, Jia Na, looking a bit disheveled, sat directly on the bed without even bothering to take off her wizard robe after pushing open the door.
“According to Professor McGonagall, special training will continue at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.” Jia Na rubbed her temples and sighed when she saw the clock displaying 11:37 PM. She then forced herself to stand up, took off her clothes, and prepared to take a shower.
This afternoon, Jia Na and Gavin-Tuer returned from their outing after five o'clock. After washing up and tidying themselves, it was almost time for their appointment with Lily-Meg.
When the two arrived at Lily-Meg's room on time, Jia Na's five-hour special training “nightmare” officially began.
First was Gavin-Tuer; since his emotions bullet was already relatively mature, Lily-Meg only offered a few suggestions for improvement before letting him leave.
But when it was Jia Na's turn, Lily-Meg actually cast a spell on the spot, directly opening a spatial rift and bringing a still somewhat bewildered Jia Na to an elemental plane filled with dense fire elements. “Whoosh—”
As the sound of water filled the washroom, Jia Na, exhausted from the entire day, didn't have time to soak in an Alchemy bathtub. Instead, she simply took a quick shower and came out.
“Knock knock knock—”
Just as Jia Na had changed into her pajamas and was about to turn off the lights to meditate, a brief knocking sound suddenly came from outside the window.
“Who is it?”
“Caw, Apprentice, you have an urgent package.”
Is it Raven-sama?
Hearing the familiar hoarse voice outside the window, Jia Na's expression froze for a moment, but soon, she walked to the window and opened it.
“Raven-sama, how did you find me?”
