Night Ranger Chapter 25: Stop waiting for the rabbit
After two days. The final battle of the Magior Institute Holy Grail Struggle Qualifier was officially started.
This competition has attracted the attention of many people around Three Rings Hightower.
After all, it is New Life registration at this time, and many Nobles in the south are nearby. The killings before Marvin before Magior Institute and the events in the arbitration hall afterwards have spread around Three Rings Hightower.
I heard that Marvin will participate in the competition with his brother as a follower, and everyone immediately became interested.
White River Valley, an unfamiliar name, a small place in the countryside, has such a pair of brothers?
This is something most people don't expect.
That's why they were particularly curious. The appearance of Dame Hathaway also put on a layer of mystery for Marvin.
This little Baron seems to have a long history.
Rather, their opponent, Unicorn Household's Wyte young master, broke into the final qualifying match without any surprise.
Only in this game, most of them are still optimistic about Wyte winning.
After all, this is contest between Sorcerer, an Marvin can't change much.
It is said that the younger brother of Marvin, the child of known as Wayne, has very good talents, but he has just recovered from the curse, and has almost zero casting power.
This game, he certainly can't do much, maybe it will become a burden instead.
In this case, insisting on participating in the competition will undoubtedly puzzle many people.
But most people come to see it lively.
They would like to see, this Marvin Baron who just appeared in the Three Rings Hightower crowd's field of vision has repeatedly surprised everyone. What topics can this time create!
Yes, on the day of the competition, the auditorium of the Tower of Ashes third spell exercise field is full!
...
"Is this your tactic? One person, duel, two others?"
In the competition area, Heinzel listened to Marvin with anxiety after listening to the Marvin plan.
He doesn't worry about Wayne, because he doesn't need to play at all in the plan of Marvin!
Although it is said to be a follower of Wayne, Marvin didn't even want to bring his younger brother, who has not yet recovered, into battle.
This time, he is destined to fight alone.
He believes he can do it.
If it is a simple terrain competition, Marvin still has a little headache, but since it is in the forest, the grasp of Marvin is mostly.
Rank 5 Ranger, Night Dominion's experience should be enough to educate two First Step Professioner. Even if one of them is currently the strongest Sorcerer.
"Wyte is Rank 5 Sorcerer, and his followers are Rank 5 Shield Defender. You cannot approach them at all!"
Heinzel shook his head and said, "Even for complex terrain, Wyte must be fully prepared. Reconnaissance sorcery is your nemesis of Wanderer."
"I will meet and act."
Marvin also knows that the configuration of Shield Defender plus Sorcerer is very troublesome.
A super shield, a super artillery, combined, is invincible.
But how do you know without trying it?
...
After ten minutes. The game officially started. Under the instructions of the staff, Marvin entered the player channel alone.
Wayne stayed in the player area. He had some concerns in his eyes, but he was still full of trust in Marvin.
Since my brother is very sure, he must believe him.
My brother was right, the only thing he can do now is to get better.
If Marvin wins this game, then the next Holy Grail Struggle, he must return to the heyday. In this way, it is possible to fight against the powerhouses of the other two colleges.
After all, the real Holy Grail Struggle is Snow Mountain terrain, which is not as good for Marvin as forest terrain.
...
Marvin enters the player's passage and crosses a door.
Unfolding in front of him is the vast forest.
On a stone in front is a roll of sheepskin.
The sheepskin roll is the rule of this qualifying match.
The rules are very simple. The two sides of the game are set off from the north and south of the forest, and the golden Holy Grail is placed in the center of the forest. Follow the directions on the map.
If you want to win, you must get Holy Grail and then arrive at the intended location.
The location is on the westernmost side of the forest.
There is a sheepskin roll on each side, with a map of the entire forest on it. There is a red dot on the map, which indicates the location of Holy Grail.
If someone gets Holy Grail first and performs movement, it will be seen on the sheepskin roll.
"Looks like it's closer to me ..."
"Shield Defender usually doesn't run fast. Even blessing Swiftness is not as fast as me, Sorcerer. They should know this."
"So, they are likely to give up directly to get Holy Grail and wait for me at the scheduled place."
Marvin analyzes calmly.
This is a very correct approach. After all, Marvin is a Ranger and runs faster in the forest.
But if you are waiting for a rabbit at a predetermined location, Marvin will be difficult to bring Holy Grail into the target area under the attack of two people.
That's a very narrow circle.
"That being the case, I'll go get Holy Grail first and talk about it."
Marvin Do not hesitate anymore, roll up the sheepskin and run quickly into the deep forest!
...
"Our speed is not as good as him."
"According to information, the other party is a Rank 5 Ranger. They may split the two routes, and let Ranger go to Holy Grail first, then the Wayne goes directly to the predetermined location."
On the other side, Wyte was holding a sheepskin roll and muttering to himself.
Behind him stands a tall man. He is wearing a solid armor and holding a giant shield.
This is a Rank 5 Shield Defender. It doesn't have much attack ability, but its defense is first-rate. Generally speaking, Shield Defender is the nemesis of Wanderer.
Ordinary Thief wants to break the defense of Shield Defender is simply a dream!
Even if you attack the more aggressive Ranger, you will have a headache.
Maybe you cut your curved blade, but you can't break the opponent's armor.
"Let ’s go to the scheduled place and wait for them!"
Wyte decisively ordered.
At the moment he blessed himself and Shield Defender with a swift operation, and the two quickly ran to the intended location.
...
The tree shadow keeps going backwards.
In the forest, Marvin is like a fish. His Perception also slightly improved. Although this addition is very ethereal and depends entirely on the state at the time, Marvin can still obviously feel that he has become more acute.
In the forest, it is not only Wyte who can pose a threat to Marvin.
There are many more Beast and monster here. It's just that most of them are First Step.
Ranger's Innate Ability allows him to avoid various monsters.
Along the way, he avoided at least three evenly matched monster. If it is in Snow Mountain, he will not have this ability!
"The front is where Holy Grail is placed."
Around a few pine trees, there is an open space ahead.
There is a raised stone platform on the open space, and there is a Holy Grail on the stone platform.
Marvin squinted and checked, Discovery has no trap.
"There are no traces in the north."
"It seems that they went straight to the target location to guard the rabbit."
Marvin went up and took Holy Grail, which is a golden cup, about the size of a bell, which can be stuffed in a waist bag.
He looked around, and a sudden smile appeared on his face.
"Is it right?"
"Then look at who has more Patience."
A bold plan takes shape instantly in Marvin's mind!
...
"Sir, Holy Grail is in movement!"
"His movement is very fast, but we should be able to reach the target location one step first."
Shield Defender reported.
"Fine, let's speed up!" Wyte said coldly.
After a while, Shield Defender, who is responsible for regularly checking the map, suddenly shouted, "Wait! Lord."
"It stopped movement!"
"What?" Wyte was a little surprised. The division of labor between the two is very clear. He is responsible for using Reconnaissance sorcery on a regular basis. Fortunately, he brings enough Uncommon items for Reconnaissance.
Shield Defender looks at the map.
"Look." Shield Defender pointed at the map and said, "It suddenly stopped movement."
"And from the map, it seems that he is not far away from us!"
Huh? Wyte is full of fog.
He faintly smelled the conspiracy.
But the other party should n’t know where they are?
This close distance should be an opportunity!
"He may be resting."
"Anyway, let's go over first!"
Wyte said decisively.
