    It is said that there is a magical land on the other side of the distant ocean, where many animals that people have never heard of live there. Among them, there is a kind of snake that likes to get together during mating period and is particularly noble.  Unlike human nobles, the reason why this kind of snake appears more noble is a rare advanced social nature.  Although humans are in estrus all the time in order to reproduce, the increasingly open social atmosphere has also made the behavior of estrus more complicated. Human men have also evolved from the original way of pursuing women in primitive society by giving them daily necessities.  for spiritual enjoyment.  However, the occasional hand-to-hand combat that occurred during this period has indeed remained unchanged for thousands of years.  Let¡¯s get back to the topic of snakes.  Although this magical snake loves to team up and have sex, a behavior that is despised by humans - of course, perhaps a large part of the reason for disdain is jealousy.  But even in those parties where humans do some love things together, it is inevitable that a tragedy will happen where two men fall in love with a woman at the same time. At this time, fists and feet usually take up most of the scene rather than words, which may be extraordinary.  Your words will only get you a few more blows.  But these snakes will not do this when two snakes, three snakes or even dozens of snakes fall in love with a female snake at the same time.  They will conduct a ritual competition - through a strange dance to determine the strength of the snake, and finally make a judgment on the ownership of the female snake.  The greatest significance of this behavior is probably to reduce the internal attrition of the group. The more advanced the creature, the more perfect its potential awareness of preserving the entire group. The advantages brought to the group by ritualizing the internal struggle of the group are naturally unparalleled.  It goes without saying that this is somewhat similar to the way magicians get along today.  Old Ruel and Old Gavin sat silently on both sides of the table. There were two exquisite square boxes on the table, and they didn¡¯t know what they contained.  Standing on one side were Hugo and Locke who were laughing with them, and Boem who looked normal.  After Hugo came back some time ago, Ruel heard that Hugo was in danger outside and rushed over to see if little Hugo was injured. However, it happened that old Gavin also seemed to have finished his work at the Master Sect, with a smile on his face.  It seemed that he wanted to tell Hugo some great news.  These two old men studied in a magician school when they were young. They have disliked each other for decades, but they are equally matched in strength.  It wasn't until Old Ruel later switched careers to making magic machinery that he finally took the position of dean after suffering a few years of hardship. Gavin, who was still a professor, felt a little unsure when he saw him.  After accepting such a good student this time, I originally wanted to show off to Ruhr first before letting Hugo become his student. Unexpectedly, old Ruhr proudly told him that Yuguo was his nephew!  How amazing is this!  Gavin, who had enjoyed some real sweetness from the mage's teaching, jumped up and pointed at Ruel's nose, demanding a duel.  At that time, Hugo almost fainted from fright. Thinking about the magic duels in the story, and the magic flying all over the sky, and thinking that a small character like himself could rise to the sky with just a scratch. If any of these two old men were  Something happened to one of them It was definitely Hugo's great loss Hugo thought that after all, the magician's duel would be the same as the knight's duel, so he would have to prepare for a few days, and let him deal with this for such a long time.  This matter should still be able to be suppressed.  Unexpectedly, the two old men took Hugo and Locke, who was temporarily staying with Hugo, to open a private room in the Giovanni Hotel on the spot.  "What happened to these two old men?" Boem asked.  "I heard there was going to be a duel." Locke looked at the two old men curiously and explained to Boem. After the two resolved their misunderstanding, they quickly reconciled, but Hugo thought it was probably because Boem looked at him again.  If there is any business opportunity, I am ready to invest in Locke.  "Oh." Hearing Boem's faint response, Hugo was almost furious, but he still lowered his voice and asked: "Aren't you afraid that your hotel will be overturned? That's a magician's duel!"  To be honest, when Hugo was pulled over by the two old men at first, he thought he was here for dinner.  "You can tell just by looking at it. It's just a duel between magicians." Boem seemed to despise the duel between magicians. He didn't want to give any explanation, so he asked the servants to move some stools and sit down, as if watching the show.  .  "Hmph! Old Ruel, you will regret it!" Old Man Gavin said a harsh word first as Hugo expected.  Old Ruel pushed the silver square box in front of him without saying a word, and Gavin also pushed the square box in front of him. When they opened it at the same time, Hugo took a look and saw that there was neither a demon inside nor a magic one inside.  Crystal is not a magic material, it is actually a few cigars and a cutting knife!  Naturally, magicians in today's era cannot throw magic around like the legendary magicians. Even attacking each other is prohibited by the magician religion - magicians are really not doing well in today's era. Losing one is losing a magician.  ??The strength of a collective.  Ever since, in the face of this major crisis that once again cut off the inheritance, the struggle between magicians has evolved into a ritual duel. However, the magicians¡¯ weird idea of ??being superior to others will not change. How can we survive in this era?  What about doing things that ordinary people can't do?  The answer is - the cigar lighting activity handed down from ancient times is the only magical act they can do anytime and anywhere now.  Now, this kind of entertainment with a long history has also evolved into an important part of magician duel.  The first step is to exchange cigars.  As we all know, magicians are a profession that consumes a lot of wealth. For them, enough money is also part of their strength.  When old man Gavin smelled the cigar in his hand, his face became a little ugly. He thought that he was indeed the dean of the Copernicus Institute, and the cigar in his hand was indeed the best quality He cut off the head of the cigar and put their heads together.  .  The second step in the duel is to light cigars for each other.  There are two steps to lighting a cigar. First, it needs to be toasted with flames but not ignited. This greatly tests the magic control ability of magicians. If two young magicians duel, they will often be separated in this step.  Win or lose.  But the two old men were undoubtedly experienced and did not make any mistakes.  The next lighting test is the amount and purity of the magic power in the magician's body. Whoever can light the cigar faster will win.  I saw Gavin grinning, and the flames floating on his fingers danced violently, and the color was even more vivid. When Gavin lit the cigar on Ruel's mouth, there were only a few sparks in the cigar on Gavin's mouth!  PS: I think it¡¯s quite interesting.
