Two days later. The final battle of the qualifiers for the Magog College Holy Grail competition officially began.
This competition attracted the attention of many people near the Three-Ring Tower.
After all, it was the time for freshmen registration, and many southern nobles were lingering nearby. Ma Wen's previous murder in the Magog College and the subsequent events in the arbitration hall had spread near the Three-Ring Tower.
Hearing that Ma Wen was going to participate in the competition with his brother as a follower, everyone was suddenly interested.
White River Valley, a strange name, a small place in the countryside, actually produced such a pair of brothers?
This was something that most people did not expect.
For this reason, they were particularly curious. The appearance of Lady Hathaway also put a mysterious veil on Ma Wen.
This little baron seemed to have a great background.
On the contrary, it was not surprising that their opponent, Young Master White of Unicorn, made it to the final qualifiers.
However, most people were still optimistic about White's victory in this competition.
After all, this was a duel between Wizards, and Ma Wen could not change anything.
It was said that Ma Wen's brother, the child named Vigny, had very good talent, but he had just recovered from the curse, and his spellcasting ability was almost zero.
In this competition, he would definitely not be able to contribute much, and he might even become a burden.
Under such circumstances, his insistence on participating in the competition undoubtedly puzzled many people.
However, most people were here to watch the show.
They wanted to see what kind of topic this Baron Ma Wen, who had just appeared in front of everyone in the Three-Ring Tower and repeatedly surprised them, could create this time!
Therefore, on the day of the competition, the third spell drill field of the Tower of Ashes was full of spectators!
…
"This is your strategy? You want to fight against two opponents alone? "
In the competition area, after listening to Ma Wen's plan, Henzel looked at Ma Wen with some worry.
He was not worried about Vigny, because in Ma Wen's plan, he did not need to appear at all!
Although he was participating as Vigny's follower, Ma Wen had no intention of letting his brother, who had yet to recover, fight.
This time, he was destined to fight alone.
He believed that he could do it.
If it was a simple arena match, Ma Wen would have a headache. However, since it was a forest, Ma Wen was much more confident.
The experience of a Level 5 Ranger, the Ruler of the Night, should be enough to educate two Grade 1 professionals. Even if one of them was the most powerful Magus.
"White is a Rank 5 Wizard, and his followers are Rank 5 Shield Guardians. You can't even get close to them! "
Henzel shook his head and said, "Even if it was a complex terrain, White must have made sufficient preparations. Scouting spells are the nemesis of Rogues."
"I'll act according to circumstances."
Ma Wen also knew that it would be very troublesome to have a Shield Guardian and a Wizard.
A Super Shield and a Super Cannon, when combined, would be invincible.
However, how would he know if he did not try?
…
Ten minutes later. The match officially began. Under the signal of the staff, Ma Wen entered the contestant's passage alone.
Vigny stayed in the contestant's area. Her eyes were a little worried, but she was still full of trust in Ma Wen.
Since her brother said that he was very confident, she must believe in him.
Her brother was right, the only thing she could do now was to get better quickly.
If Ma Wen won this match, then he must recover to his peak state for the next Holy Grail Battle. Only then would it be possible for him to fight against the other two academies.
After all, the real Holy Grail Battle was in a snowy mountain terrain, unlike the forest terrain, which was advantageous to Ma Wen.
…
Ma Wen entered the contestant's passage and passed through a door.
In front of him was a vast forest.
On a rock in front of him, there was a parchment scroll.
On the parchment scroll were the rules of the qualifier.
The rules were very simple. The contestants would set off from the north and south of the forest, and the golden Holy Grail would be placed in the middle of the forest. It would be found by following the directions on the map.
To win, one had to get the Holy Grail and arrive at the predetermined location.
The location was the westernmost part of the forest.
Both contestants had a parchment scroll in their hands. On it was a map of the entire forest. There was a red dot on the map, marking the location of the Holy Grail.
If someone got the Holy Grail first and moved it, then it would be shown on the parchment scroll.
"Seems like I'm closer to it …"
"Shield Guardians usually don't run very fast. Even with the agility enhancement spell, they won't be as fast as me. The same goes for the 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 predetermined location."
Ma Wen quietly analyzed.
This was a very correct approach. After all, Ma Wen was a Ranger and could run faster in the forest.
However, if they waited at the predetermined location, it would be very difficult for Ma Wen to bring the Holy Grail into the target area under the attacks of two people.
It was a very narrow circle.
"If that's the case, I'll go get the Holy Grail first."
Ma Wen no longer hesitated. He put away the parchment scroll and quickly ran into the depths of the forest!
…
"Our speed is probably not as fast as him."
"According to the information, the opponent is a Level Five Ranger. They might split up and let the Ranger get the Holy Grail first, while that Vigny goes directly to the predetermined location. "
On the other side, Warter held the parchment scroll and muttered to himself.
Behind him stood a tall man. He was fully armored and held a giant shield in his hand.
This was a Level Five Shield Guardian. He did not have much attack power, but his defense was top-notch. Usually, Shield Guardians were the nemesis of Rogues.
It was impossible for an ordinary Rogue to break through the defense of a Shield Guardian!
Even a Ranger with a bit more aggressive attacks would have a headache.
He might not even be able to break through the opponent's armor even if his scimitar was bent.
"Let's go directly to the predetermined location and wait for them!"
Warter decisively ordered.
He immediately cast a Hastening Spell on himself and the Shield Guardian, and the two quickly ran to the predetermined location.
…
The shadows of the trees continued to recede.
In the forest, Ma Wen was like a fish in water. His Perception had also faintly increased. Although this increase was very vague and completely depended on the state at the time, Ma Wen could still clearly feel that he seemed to have become more sensitive.
In this forest, it was not just Warter and Warter who could pose a threat to Ma Wen.
There were also many beasts and monsters here. It was just that most of them were Level One.
The Ranger's natural ability allowed him to avoid all kinds of monsters very well.
Along the way, he avoided at least three evenly matched monsters. If it was in the snowy mountains, he would not have this ability!
"Up ahead is the place where the Holy Grail is placed."
After bypassing a few pine trees, an open space appeared in front of them.
There was a raised stone platform in the open space, and on the stone platform was a Holy Grail.
Ma Wen narrowed his eyes, checked it, and found no traps.
"There are no traces in the north either."
"Looks like they really went straight to the target location and waited for the rabbit."
Ma Wen went up to take the Holy Grail. It was a golden cup, about the size of a bell, and could be stuffed into his waist pouch.
He looked around, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Waiting for the rabbit, huh?"
"That will depend on who is more patient."
A bold plan instantly formed in Ma Wen's mind!
…
"Sir, the Holy Grail is moving!"
"It's moving very fast, but we should be able to reach the target location before it."
The Shield Guardian reported.
"Very good, let's speed up!" Warter said coldly.
After a while, the Shield Guardian who was responsible for checking the map suddenly shouted, "Wait! Sir. "
"It stopped moving!"
"What?" Warter was a little surprised. The division of labor between the two was very clear. He was responsible for using reconnaissance spells at regular intervals. Fortunately, he had brought enough glimmering items for reconnaissance.
And the Shield Guardian was responsible for looking at the map.
"Look." The Shield Guardian pointed at the map and said, "It suddenly stopped moving."
"And from the map, it seems like it's not far from us!"
Huh? Warter was confused.
He vaguely smelled a conspiracy.
But the other party should not know his position, right?
At such a close distance, it should be an opportunity!
"He may be resting."
"No matter what, let's go and take a look first!"
Warter said decisively.
