Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

66: Chapter 66 What is meant by ”survival of the fittest”?The Adventurers, organized by their groups, jumped into the stone gate one after another.

Everyone shared a tacit understanding, maintaining a certain distance according to the order in which they arrived at the gate.

Zhang Mu was somewhat puzzled by this.

Even if Adventurers would beat each other senseless for a magic book, hadn’t they not even entered yet?

They hadn’t even seen a shadow of the magic book, so there was no need to start fighting each other, right?

Frederica’s answer was that it was to maintain a habit.

Vigilance is something that, once relaxed even slightly, creates inertia; it takes time to regain a state of alertness.

But enemies could appear at any moment, releasing magic or swinging spears and swords to attack.

The end result of negligence was very likely death.

Therefore, rather than wasting energy trying to regain alertness upon entering a dangerous environment, it was better to maintain such a sensitive mental state at all times.

Zhang Mu suddenly realized why, even inside the city where no one dared to use force, Adventurers remained extremely wary of strange Professionals.

While chatting in line, it was finally the turn of the man and the four elves. They jumped into the stone gate, walked down the stone stairs, and arrived at a cavern hall.

There was light, and though the source couldn’t be found, it was enough to see the surroundings clearly.

The hall was circular with a semi-spherical ceiling. The floor was paved with moss-covered bluestone slabs, and the earthen walls were covered in thorny vines.

There were over a hundred archways forming a circle along the bottom of the cavern walls, spaced about five meters apart.

At this moment, the gates were sealed by fading blue magical light screens.

These archways had no markings indicating the value of the treasures within, nor was it certain if the spaces behind any two gates were connected.

Anything was possible.

So, the Adventurer Groups basically picked one based on intuition and stood beside it, waiting for the seal to lift.

After hearing Frederica’s explanation, Zhang Mu finally understood why the Adventurer Groups were scrambling to be first.

The scale of each labyrinth varied greatly, and everyone was worried there might not be enough gates to go around, so they came in first to claim one.

If there really weren’t enough, then they would let their abilities do the talking.

This underground labyrinth was quite large with many gates, so Zhang Mu and the others didn’t need to fight for one; they just found a random spot and stood waiting.

Taking advantage of the gap, he looked around curiously.

The Adventurers’ attire and member configurations were somewhat uncoordinated.

The magicians were fine; most were like Potter, wearing robes and holding a staff or a magic sword.

The Knights who practiced Breathing Techniques didn’t all look like ”Knights.”

A small portion looked like conventional knights, wrapped in light or heavy full-body armor, some using spears, but most using longswords paired with round or square shields.

The rest of the Knight classes used all sorts of things: iron hammers, rapiers, maces, and wore half-body light armor, vine armor, and the like.

They didn’t look like knights at all.

Furthermore, the vast majority of Adventurer Groups only had magicians and knights; not a single Priest skilled in healing magic was to be seen.

Among the dozens of Adventurer Groups in the hall, only three had Priests standing with them, wearing magic jewelry that emitted a faint milky white light.

According to the common knowledge from Avril’s mini-lessons—magicians with the Light magic attribute who specialized in healing magic were called Priests. This was just a title and had nothing to do with the Divine Officials or positions within the Church.

Magic jewelry emitting a milky white light was compatible with the Light magic attribute, and only Divine Officials and Priests met the conditions to use them.

Since Avril wasn’t around, Zhang Mu curiously asked Frederica if there were any magicians with the Light magic attribute who didn’t study healing magic.

The answer he got was that there might be, but she had never heard of it, let alone witnessed it with her own eyes.

As for why Adventurer Groups with Priests were so rare here, it was because Priests, who could save a massive amount on potions, were highly sought after.
