Chapter 25 Waiting for the Rabbit(1/2)
Two days later, the final battle of the Holy Grail qualifying match for the Margore Academy's Holy Grail battle officially began.
This competition attracted the attention of many people near the Third Ring Tower.
After all, it was time for the freshmen to register, and many southern nobles were lingering nearby. The murders before Marvin at the Margore Academy and the subsequent arbitration hall have spread around the Third Ring Tower.
When everyone heard that Marvin was going to participate in the competition with his younger brother in the name of his followers, everyone was immediately interested.
In the White River Valley, a strange name, a small countryside place, there was such a pair of brothers?
This is something most people didn't expect.
They were particularly curious about this. Lord Hathaway's appearance also put a veil of mystery on Marvin.
This little baron seems to have a great origin.
On the contrary, their opponent, Mr. White of the Unicorn Family, made it into the final qualifying match.
However, most of this game are still optimistic about White's victory.
After all, this is a showdown between wizards, and a Marvin can't change anything.
It is said that Marvin's younger brother, the child named Winnie, has a very good talent, but he has just recovered from the curse and has almost zero spell casting ability.
He will definitely not be able to put in much effort in this game, and may become a burden instead.
In this case, it is undoubtedly puzzled by many people.
But most people are watching the fun.
They wanted to see what topics could Baron Marvin, who had just appeared in the sight of the Third Ring Tower but had repeatedly surprised everyone.
Therefore, on the day of the competition, the audience seats at the third magic exercise venue of the Tower of Ashes were full!
...
"Is this your tactic? One person fights two people alone?"
In the competition area, after hearing Marvin's plan, Henzel looked at Marvin with some concern.
He was not worried about Winnie because he didn't need to appear in Marvin's plan!
Although he was participating in the competition as a follower of Winnie, Marvin did not want his brother, who had not yet recovered, to fight.
This time, it was destined to be a battle alone.
He believes he can do it.
If it is a simple terrain ring game, Marvin will have some headaches, but since he is in the forest, Marvin will have much more confidence.
The experience of level five rangers and Dark Night Master should be enough to educate two first-level professions. Even if one of the other parties is the strongest wizard at present.
"White is a level 5 wizard, and his followers are level 5 shield guards. You can't get close to them at all!"
Henzel shook his head and said, "Even if it is a complex terrain, White must be fully prepared. Scouting witchcraft is the nemesis of your wanderers."
“I will act according to the opportunity.”
Marvin also knew that it was very troublesome to have the Shield Guardian and the Wizard equipment.
A super shield and a super artillery, combined together, is simply invincible.
But if you don't try it, how can you know?
...
Ten minutes later, the competition officially began. At the warning of the staff, Ma Wen entered the contestant's passage alone.
Winnie stayed in the contestant area. He had some concerns in his eyes, but he still had full trust in Marvin.
Since my brother is very sure of his statement, he must believe him.
My brother was right before, but now the only thing he can do is get better as soon as possible.
If Marvin wins this game, then in the next Holy Grail battle, he must return to his full status. Only in this way can he fight against the powerful men of the other two academys.
After all, the real battle for the Holy Grail is snow-capped terrain, not as beneficial to Marvin as forest terrain.
...
Marvin entered the contestant's passage and passed through a door.
What appeared before him was a vast forest.
On a stone in front, there is a pampering roll.
On the parchment, are the rules of this qualifying competition.
The rules are very simple. Both sides of the competition set out from the north and south of the forest, and the golden holy grail is placed in the center of the forest. You can find it according to the instructions on the map.
To win, you must get the Holy Grail and arrive at the scheduled location.
The location is in the westernmost part of the forest.
Both sides each have a pampered scroll in their hands, which is a map of the entire forest. There is a red dot on the map, which marks the location of the Holy Grail.
If someone gets the Holy Grail first and moves it, you can see it on the parchment.
"It seems that I'm closer..."
"Shield Guards usually don't run fast, even if they bless the swift technique, they are not as fast as me, so are wizards. They should know this."
"So, it's very likely that they will give up on getting the Holy Grail and wait for me at the scheduled place."
Marvin analyzed calmly.
This is a very correct approach. After all, Marvin is a ranger and runs faster in the forest.
However, if you wait at the scheduled location, it will be difficult for Marvin to enter the target area with the Holy Grail under the attack of the two.
It was a very narrow circle.
"Since that's the case, I'd better go and get the Holy Grail first."
Ma Wen no longer hesitated, put away the sheepskin rolls and ran quickly into the depths of the forest!
...
"Our speed is probably not as fast as him."
"According to the intelligence, the other party is a level five ranger. They may divide the troops into two groups, so that the ranger will first get the Holy Grail, and then the Winnie will go directly to the reserved location."
On the other side, White murmured to himself with a parchment roll in hand.
Behind him was a tall man, wearing tight armor and holding a giant shield.
This is a level five shield guard who has no attack ability, but has first-class defense. Generally speaking, the shield guard is the nemesis of the wanderer.
It is simply a dream for ordinary thieves to break through the defense of the shield guard!
Even if you attack a more ferocious ranger, you will have a headache.
Maybe you can chop your own scimitar and roll your blade, but you can't break the opponent's armor.
"Let's go directly to the reservation location and wait for them!"
White decisively gave the order.
At that moment, he blessed himself and the Shield Guard with a quick technique, and the two of them quickly ran to the predetermined location.
...
The shadow of the tree kept regressing backwards.
In the forest, Marvin was like a fish in water. His perception also vaguely improved. Although this bonus was very ethereal and completely dependent on his condition at that time, Marvin could still clearly feel that he seemed to be becoming more sensitive.
In this forest, it is not just White who can threaten Marvin.
There are many beasts and monsters here, but most of them are first-level.
The ranger's talent can help him avoid various monsters very well.
Along the way, he avoided at least three monsters that were evenly matched. If he was in the snow-capped mountains, he would not have such ability!
"There is the place where the Holy Grail is placed in front of it."
Bypassing a few pine trees, a clearing area appeared in front of them.
There is a raised stone platform on the open space, and a Holy Grail is placed on it.
Marvin squinted his eyes and checked it, and found that there were no traps.
“There is no trace in the north.”
"It seems that they are indeed heading straight to the target location to wait for the rabbit."
Marvin went up to get the Holy Grail, which was a golden cup, about the size of a bell, and could be stuffed into his waist bag.
He looked around and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Are you waiting for the rabbit?"
"Then we have to see who is more patient."
A bold plan took shape in Marvin's mind!
