Chapter Twenty-Five: Waiting for the Rabbit

Two days later. The final match of the qualifying tournament for the Holy Grail of the Margol Academy has officially begun.

This time the competition attracted the attention of many people near the Third Ring Tower.

After all, at this time, it was the time when new students were registering, and many southern nobles were circling nearby. And Marvin's previous murder at Margor Academy and what happened in the Arbitration Hall after that have been circulating near the Third Ring Tower.

Hearing that Marven was going to compete with his younger brother in the name of a follower, everyone immediately became interested.

The White River Valley, an unfamiliar name, a small place in the countryside, actually produced such a pair of brothers?

This is something that most people don't expect.

That's why they're curious. Lord Hathaway's appearance also cast a veil of mystery on Marven.

This little baron seems to have a lot of origin.

On the contrary, it was their opponent, Young Master White of the Unicorn Family, who broke into the final qualifying round, and it was no surprise that he broke into the final qualifying round.

It's just that most of this game is still favored by White.

After all, this is a duel between wizards, and one Marven can't change anything.

And it is said that Marven's younger brother, the kid named Pooh, although he has a very good talent, has just recovered from the curse, and his spell-casting ability is almost zero.

In this game, he will definitely not be able to contribute much, and maybe it will become a burden.

In this case, still insisting on participating in the competition undoubtedly puzzled many people.

But most people come to see the fun.

They wanted to see what kind of topic Baron Marven, who had just appeared in the field of vision of the Third Ring Tower but had repeatedly surprised everyone, could create a topic this time!

So, on the day of the game, the audience at the Tower of Ashes' Third Spell Training Ground was already full!

……

"That's your tactic? One person singles out the other two? ”

In the competition area, Hensel listened to Marven's plan and looked at Marven with some concern.

He wasn't worried about Pooh, because in Marvin's plan, he didn't need to play at all!

Although he said that he was competing as a follower of Pooh, Marven didn't want to let his brother, who had not yet recovered, fight.

This time, it was destined to be a one-man battle.

He believes he can do it.

If it was a ring race with simple terrain, Marven would still have a bit of a headache, but since it was in the forest, Marven had a lot of certainty.

The experience of a fifth-level ranger, the Night Master, should be enough to educate two first-order professionals. Even if one of the opponents is the strongest wizard at the moment.

"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, "Even if it's a complicated terrain, White must be fully prepared, and reconnaissance sorcery is the nemesis of your wanderers." ”

"I'll do what I'm going to do."

Marven also knew that the equipping of the shield guardian and wizard was very troublesome.

A super shield, a super artillery, combined, is simply invincible.

But if you don't try it, how do you know?

……

Ten minutes later. The competition officially began, and at the signal of the staff, Marven entered the runner's tunnel alone.

Pooh stayed in the contestants' area, his eyes were a little worried, but he still had a lot of trust in Marvin.

Since my brother is very sure of what he said, I must believe him.

My brother was right before, and the only thing I can do now is to get better quickly.

If Marvin wins this match, then he will have to return to his full glory for the next Holy Grail battle. In this way, it is possible to fight with the powerhouses of the other two academies.

After all, the real battle for the Holy Grail is the snow-capped mountain terrain, which is not as favorable to Marven as the forest terrain.

……

Marvin enters the runner's tunnel and passes through a door.

In front of him was a vast forest.

On a stone in front of it, there is a parchment roll.

On the parchment roll, are the rules of this qualifying tournament.

The rules are simple, the two sides of the game start from the north and south sides of the forest, and the golden chalices are placed in the middle of the forest. You can find it by following the directions on the map.

To win, you must get the Holy Grail and arrive at the predetermined location.

The location is at the westernmost edge of the forest.

Each side has a parchment scroll with a map of the entire forest, with a red dot on the map indicating the location of the Holy Grail.

If someone gets the Holy Grail first and moves it, it will be visible on the parchment scroll.

"Looks like I'm getting closer......"

"Shield Guardians are usually not fast, and even if they are blessed with Swiftness, they are not as fast as me, and neither are wizards. They should know that. ”

"So, there's a good chance they'll just give up on getting the Holy Grail and wait for me at the predetermined location."

Marven calmly analyzed.

This is the right thing to do, after all, Marven is a ranger and runs relatively fast in the forest.

However, if he waits at the predetermined location, it will be difficult for Marven 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 go get the Holy Grail first."

Marven no longer hesitated, put away the sheepskin roll, and quickly ran towards the depths of the forest!

……

"Our speed is not as fast as his."

"According to the intelligence, the other party is a fifth-level ranger. It is possible that they split up and let the Ranger go to get the Holy Grail first, and then the Pooh goes directly to the predetermined location. ”

On the other side, White held a parchment roll and muttered to himself.

Behind him, stood a tall man, dressed in tight armor and armed with a huge shield.

This is a level 5 shield defender with no offensive abilities, but the defense is top-notch. In general, the Shieldkeeper is the nemesis of the Wanderer.

It's a fool's dream for ordinary thieves to break through the shieldkeeper's defenses!

Even a fierce Ranger will have a lot of headaches.

Maybe you can't break the opponent's armor if you cut your own scimitar.

"Let's go straight to the predetermined location and wait for them!"

White decisively gave the order.

At that moment, he blessed himself and the shield guard with a swift spell, and the two of them quickly ran towards the predetermined location.

……

The shadows of the trees kept receding backwards.

In the forest, Marven is like a fish in water. His perception also improved subtly, and although this bonus was very ethereal, depending entirely on the state at the time, Marven could still clearly feel that he seemed to have become more acute.

In this forest, it is not only White who can threaten Marven.

There are also a lot of beasts and monsters here. It's just that most of them are of the 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, and if it was in the snowy mountains, he wouldn't have this ability!

"Ahead is where the Holy Grail will be placed."

Bypassing a few pine trees, a clearing appeared ahead.

There is a raised stone platform in the clearing, on which is a holy grail.

Marven squinted his eyes and checked it out to see that there were no traps.

"There is no trace of the north either."

"It looks like they're going straight to their target location and waiting for the rabbit."

Marvin went up and fetched the chale, which was a golden cup, about the size of a bell, that could be stuffed in a fanny pack.

He looked around, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Wait for the rabbit, right?"

"Then it's up to us to see who's more patient."

A bold plan took shape in Marvin's mind in an instant!

……

"My lord, the Holy Grail is moving!"

"He's moving very fast, but we should be able to get to the target before he does."

The Shield Defender reported.

"Good, let's speed up!" White said coldly.

After a few more moments, the shield defender, who was in charge of checking the map regularly, suddenly shouted, "Wait! My lord. ”

"It's stopped moving!"

"What?" White was a little surprised. The division of labor between the two is clear, he is responsible for the regular use of Scout Witchcraft, and luckily he has enough Shimmer items for Scouting.

The Shield Defender is responsible for reading the map.

"Look." The Shield Guardian pointed to the map and said, "It suddenly stopped moving. ”

"And judging by the map, he doesn't seem to be far away from us!"

Well? White was confused.

He vaguely smelled of conspiracy.

But the other party shouldn't know his own position, right?

With such a close distance, it should be an opportunity!

"He's probably resting."

"Anyway, let's go over and have a look!"

White said decisively.
