After two days. The final battle of the Qualifying Tournament for the Holy Grail of Magor College officially started.
This time, the competition attracted the attention of many people near the third ring tower.
After all, it was time for freshmen to sign up, and many southern nobles were hanging around. And Marvin's previous killings at Magor College and what happened in the Arbitration Hall after that have all been spread around the three-ring tower.
Hearing that Marvin was going to participate in the competition with his younger brother in the name of a follower, everyone immediately became interested.
In the White River Valley, a strange name, a small place in the countryside, unexpectedly there is such a pair of brothers
This is something most people don't think of.
That's why they're so curious. The appearance of Lord Hathaway also put a veil of mystery on Marvin.
This little baron seems to have a lot of background.
Instead, it was their opponent, Master White of the Unicorn family, who made it to the final qualifying round, which was no surprise.
It's just that in this game, most of them are still optimistic about White's victory.
After all, this is a duel between wizards, and one Marvin can't change anything.
And it is said that Marvin's younger brother, the kid named Pooh, although he has a very good talent, has just recovered from the curse, and his spellcasting ability is almost zero.
In this match, he will definitely not be able to exert much force, and maybe it will become a burden instead.
Under such circumstances, he still insisted on participating in the competition, which undoubtedly puzzled many people.
But most of the people are here to watch the excitement.
They would like to see what kind of topic this Baron Marvin, who just appeared in the sight of everyone in the third-ring tower but has repeatedly surprised everyone, can create again this time!
Therefore, on the day of the competition, the auditorium of the Tower of Ashes' third spell practice field was already full!
…
"This is your tactic? One person singles out two opponents?"
In the competition area, after listening to Marvin's plan, Hensel looked at Marvin with some concern.
He wasn't worried about Pooh, because in Marvin's plan, he didn't need to appear at all!
Although it was said that he was competing as Pooh's follower, Marvin didn't want to let his younger brother who hadn't recovered to fight at all.
This time, it was destined to be his own battle.
He believes he can do it.
If it was a group arena with simple terrain, Marvin would still have a bit of a headache, but since it was in the forest, Marvin was more confident.
The experience of a fifth-level ranger and master of the night should be enough to educate two first-level professionals. Even if one of the opponents is currently the strongest wizard.
"White is a fifth-level wizard, and his followers are fifth-level shield guards. You can't get close to them!"
Hensel shook his head and said, "White must have been fully prepared even for complex terrain. Reconnaissance witchcraft is the nemesis of your rogues."
"I'll play by ear."
Marvin also knew that the equipment of shield guards and wizards was very troublesome.
A super shield, a super artillery, combined together, is simply invincible.
But if you don't try it, how will you know
…
Ten minutes later. The game officially started, and under the signal of the staff, Marvin entered the player channel alone.
Pooh stayed in the player area, his eyes were a little worried, but he was still full of trust in Marvin.
Since my brother said he was very sure, I had to believe him.
What my brother said before was right, the only thing I can do now is to get better soon.
If Marvin wins this game, then he must return to his prime in the next Holy Grail battle. Only in this way can it be possible to fight against the powerhouses of the other two colleges.
After all, the real battle for the Holy Grail is the snow-capped terrain, which is not as beneficial to Marvin as the forest terrain.
…
Marvin entered the player tunnel and walked through a door.
What unfolded in front of him was a vast forest.
On a stone in front, there is a scroll of parchment.
On the scroll are the rules of this qualifying competition.
The rules are very simple. The contestants start from the north and south of the forest respectively, and the golden holy grail is placed in the center of the forest. Follow the directions on the map to find it.
To win, you must obtain the Holy Grail and arrive at the predetermined location.
The location is at the westernmost edge of the forest.
Both parties had a parchment in their hands, on which was a map of the entire forest, with a red dot on the map marking the location of the Holy Grail.
If someone gets the Holy Grail first and moves it, it will also be visible on the parchment.
"It seems that my side is closer..."
"Shield Guardians usually don't run fast, even with Swiftness, and so do wizards. They should know that."
"Therefore, they are very likely to give up on taking the Holy Grail directly, but wait for me at the predetermined location."
Marvin analyzed calmly.
This is the correct approach. After all, Marvin is a ranger and can run faster in the forest.
But if he waited at the predetermined location, it would be difficult for Marvin to enter the target area with the Holy Grail under the attack of the two.
That's a very narrow circle.
"In that case, I'd better get the Holy Grail first."
Ma Wen didn't hesitate anymore, put away the sheepskin roll, and quickly ran to the depths of the forest!
…
"Our speed is probably not as good as his."
"According to intelligence, the other party is a fifth-level ranger. They may split into two groups, let the ranger go to get the Holy Grail first, and then Pooh will go directly to the predetermined location."
On the other side, White held the parchment and muttered to himself.
Behind him, stood a tall man, he was wearing a tight armor, holding a huge shield.
This is a fifth-level shield guard, with no offensive ability, but top-notch defense. Generally speaking, shield guardians are the rogue's nemesis.
Ordinary thieves want to break through the defense of the shield defender is simply a dream!
Even a ranger who attacks fiercely will still have a very headache.
Maybe even if you slash your own scimitar, it won't be able to break the opponent's armor.
"Let's go directly to the scheduled location and wait for them!"
White gave the order decisively.
At that moment, he blessed himself and the shield guard with a swiftness technique, and the two quickly ran to the predetermined location.
…
The shadow of the tree kept falling backwards.
In the forest, Marvin is like a duck to water. His perception has also vaguely improved. Although this bonus is very vague and depends entirely on the state at the time, Marvin can still clearly feel that he seems to have become sharper.
In this forest, White is not the only one who can pose a threat to Marvin.
There are also many beasts and monsters here. It's just that most of them are first-order.
The ranger's natural ability allows him to avoid all kinds of monsters well.
Along the way, he avoided at least three evenly matched monsters. If it was in the snow-capped mountains, he would not have this ability!
"The front is where the Holy Grail is placed."
After passing a few pine trees, a clearing appeared ahead.
There is a raised stone platform in the clearing, and on the stone platform is a holy grail.
Marvin squinted his eyes, checked, and found that there was no trap.
"There are no traces in the north either."
"It seems that they went straight to the target location and waited for the rabbit."
Marvin went up to get the Holy Grail, a golden cup about the size of a bell that could be tucked into a fanny pack.
He looked around and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wait and wait?"
"Then let's see who is more patient."
A bold plan was instantly formed in Marvin's mind!
…
"My lord, the Holy Grail is moving!"
"He's moving very fast, but we should be able to get there before him."
The Shield Guardian reported.
"Very well, let's speed up!" White said grimly.
After a while, the shield guard who was in charge of regularly checking the map suddenly shouted: "Wait! My lord."
"It stopped moving!"
"What?" White was a little surprised. The division of labor between the two is very clear. He is responsible for using reconnaissance witchcraft on a regular basis. Fortunately, he has brought enough glimmer items for reconnaissance.
The shield guards are responsible for reading the map.
"Look." The Shield Guardian pointed to the map and said, "It suddenly stopped moving."
"And judging from the map, he seems to be not far away from us!"
Um? White was bewildered.
He vaguely smelled a conspiracy.
But the other party probably doesn't know where he is, right
Such a short distance should be an opportunity!
"He may be resting."
"Anyway, let's go and have a look!"
White said decisively.
