Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 24: Battle for the Holy Grail
The battle for the Holy Grail originated from an ancient story.
At first, Fenan was shrouded in chaos. A large amount of magic power was spread all over the world, and the chaotic magic power drove the weak-willed creatures crazy, and they fought each other.
This is a chaotic place.
Later, the wizard god Lance came and created a holy grail to absorb magic from all over the world.
It took Lance a full thousand years to absorb the [Source of Magic] scattered throughout Fenan, and used it to create the Cosmic Magic Pool.
He hid the Holy Grail deep in the cosmic magic pool. Whoever gets the Holy Grail will get the source of magic power of the entire Fenan world and will be able to dominate the entire world!
Many people have coveted the Holy Grail and tried to enter the Cosmic Magic Pool to search for it, but all ended in vain.
The Holy Grail eventually became an allusion, symbolizing the supreme authority of wizards.
(For those who are interested in learning more about the wizard god Lance, you can read Coconut’s previous book “The Headshot Wizard”.)
In the Three Rings Tower area, the battle for the Holy Grail is a reflection of the competition and cooperation among the three wizard towers.
The battle for the Holy Grail is divided into two levels, with the three academies sending their best wizard apprentices and the best second-level wizards to participate.
Whoever wins the competition will get a magical item - the magic holy grail as a reward.
The Magic Holy Grail has endless uses. It is an extremely powerful magical item and the crystallization of the wisdom of the craftsmen and wizards of the Three Ring Tower.
The Holy Grail War is held every five years, so it is considered luck if you encounter it.
It was already very impressive that Winnie was able to overcome all the obstacles and enter the final round of the academy's wizard apprentice qualification selection.
Marvin didn't want him to stop here, what's more, he himself had coveted the Holy Grail of Magic for a long time.
This thing is very useful.
So he decided to compete as Winnie's follower.
This decision was opposed by everyone.
But the objection was ineffective.
Marvin's attitude was very tough, and coupled with the extraordinary strength he demonstrated, Henzel had to compromise.
Among them, the old butler was the most surprised. When he left the White River Valley, Marvin was still an ordinary nobleman.
Today, Marvin has become a combat professional who can stand on his own.
How much has Master Marvin changed during this time?
On the contrary, Winnie seemed unusually excited.
He has always trusted Marvin very much. Since his brother said he wanted to participate in the competition, then he should just participate!
If my brother says we can win, then we will definitely win.
The only concern is...
"Isn't it too unfair for you to be a follower, brother?" Winnie said.
"No." Marvin shook his head and said, "As long as we can win, I don't have the energy to worry about these little things."
"That's good." Winnie, who was still lying in bed recovering, nodded vigorously.
"All you need to do now is to have a good rest."
"I heard from Lord Henzel that we will get the specific notification of the final qualifying round tomorrow. Let's wait and see."
Marvin said so.
…
Magor College, in another dormitory.
"Why did Lady Hathaway suddenly appear? And become Marvin's witness??"
"How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Is this all a conspiracy against me? Which family did this?"
"It's unlikely. No one can grasp the mind of a quasi-legendary wizard. Is it really luck?"
White paced back and forth in the room somewhat anxiously.
After the trial, every member of the Unicorn Family serving in the Tower of Ashes received a personal warning from Hathaway herself!
This is the Tower of Ashes, Hathaway’s territory, not the base camp of the Unicorn Family!
As for the poor judge, it is said that he was taken away after being turned into a pig.
It is unknown how long the quasi-legendary wizard's transformation can last.
That's fine.
The key point is that this incident made the family's top leaders very dissatisfied with White.
His father even sent him a letter to scold him!
He was only the thirteenth heir of the Unicorn family! Although he performed relatively well among the many heirs, and reached the top of the first-level wizard at the age of 13, if nothing unexpected happened, he should have the hope of advancing to the second-level wizard before next summer!
But he cannot represent the Unicorn Family. What he has done has already caused some damage to the interests of the Unicorn Family in the Three Ring Tower.
Hathaway's anger was directed at their entire family.
This made White very upset!
How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Could it be that that little bastard is really his nemesis?
"Don't get excited, sir." The man in black said coldly, "As far as I know, although Winnie has lifted the curse, his body has not recovered."
"He will definitely not be able to participate in the final qualifying round."
"Your Excellency should prepare for the final Holy Grail battle as soon as possible."
White recovered and nodded: "You are right. Let's calm down for the time being."
"Maybe Lady Hathaway has sent someone to keep an eye on us in secret."
“Although the final result is a little unsatisfactory, I just got what I wanted.”
…
The next day, Henzel brought the notice of the final selection competition from Magor College.
"A forest area?"
"real or fake?"
Marvin looked at the document notification and couldn't help but smile in surprise.
Henzel was also a little confused: "The main competition of the Holy Grail War has always been held in the snowy mountains."
"So in order to simulate the Holy Grail competition to the greatest extent possible, the final qualifying round has always been held in the snowy mountains... But this time, it is said that the higher-ups suddenly issued an order to change it to a forest..."
What does the above mean?
Winnie and Hensel both looked at Marvin, who was even more surprised.
Who else is above Magor College? Of course, it is the quasi-legendary Hathaway.
Is that what she meant?
Henzel looked at Marvin suspiciously: "Mr. Marvin, Winnie is my most beloved disciple. I don't think you need to hide too much from me."
"If you really have some relationship with that master above, then everything would make sense."
Marvin smiled bitterly. Hensel's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Marvin is a ranger. His performance in the snowy mountain environment is average, but in the forest, he is like a fish in water .
After I submitted my registration yesterday, the terrain was immediately changed to forest - this makes it hard not to be suspicious.
Now some of the senior mentors at Magor College are communicating secretly and speculating on the relationship between Marvin and Hathaway.
They all felt that they had underestimated this Baron from the White River Valley. This guy actually had connections with the owner of the Tower of Ashes.
As for the evidence?
The Arbitration Hall stood up for Marvin and forcibly changed the rules to help Marvin cheat to the greatest extent possible - isn't that enough?
Marvin himself was speechless.
He was actually not very familiar with Hathaway. Even in the game, he had only done a few missions with her and had heard of some of her personality.
He has a strange temper, but hates evil. Like Anthony, he is one of the few legendary wizards .
"She really didn't change the rules for me, did she?"
"What does it mean?"
He felt a little nervous.
However, no matter what, the forest terrain is the best news for the two brothers.
The game will be held in two days, and I guess there will be a lot of people coming to watch.
…
"What? They're actually participating in the competition?"
White looked at the notification document in his hand and almost jumped up!
What’s more, it was not the snow mountain terrain as agreed upon before, but a forest terrain.
What does this mean?
No one can guess what that adult is thinking!
"It's nothing to participate in the competition." White's face showed a hint of ferocity: "I heard that his brother replaced his original follower and participated in the competition."
"Brothers, if they fight together, I can just kill them!"
The man in black whispered, "You'd better be careful, sir, and be well prepared. I feel that Baron Marvin seems to have some tricks up his sleeve."
"He's just a country bumpkin who can wield a machete a few times. What's the use?"
White sneered and said, "This is a world ruled by wizards."
…
On the top floor of the Tower of Ashes, a young girl was lazily lying on the sofa.
A parrot flew in and landed on her snow-white ankle.
"Is everything done?" Hathaway asked softly.
The parrot said, "The notice has been sent out. Forest terrain, competition the day after tomorrow."
"I don't understand why you would suddenly do this."
"Is it because that young man saw through your identity?"
Hathaway stretched lazily, revealing a corner of her snow-white pajamas.
She snapped her fingers out of boredom, and suddenly turned into a six-year-old girl.
"Isn't that enough?"
"That little fellow named Marvin is quite interesting. His brother is at best an excellent wizard."
"But he himself may become a legend!"
"It's been a while since I've watched such a lively show. I hope this Marvin will give me some surprises. After all, even in a forest, it's very difficult for a ranger to fight against a wizard and a shield guardian."
