Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 61: Top of the Snow Mountain!
Three days later in the morning, the battle for the Holy Grail in the Three-Ring Tower officially began!
The location of the Holy Grail Battle is still the same as in previous years, in the demiplane of Rayman, the only legendary wizard in the three-ring tower.
Wizard Rayman personally opened the entrance to the demiplane, and the six contestants entered the demiplane under his personal admission.
Anyone else who wants to watch the game must gather under the three wizard towers to watch the live broadcast of the mirror spell!
On the eve of the competition, the Tower of Ashes, the Tower of Thunder, and the Tower of Craftsmen were all crowded with people.
Most of these people are local wizards, and there are also wizards or people from other professions who come here because of the reputation.
The battle for the Holy Grail has always been a very exciting game. It is said that it also determines the distribution ratio of interests within the Three-Ring Tower.
Under the towering Tower of Ashes, makeshift tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the nobles took their seats according to their status.
The high-level wizards sat on the floating magic carpet and watched the game.
Only on days like the Holy Grail War will the Tower of Ashes be open to the public at close range. After all, in essence, the Holy Grail War can be regarded as a celebration day for the establishment of the Three Ring Tower.
"Look, the game has begun!"
Suddenly, such a voice was heard from the crowd.
There was a sudden uproar under the tower.
"Silence!" A wizard from the Ash Tower Law Enforcement Team cast a group silencing spell with great experience.
In an instant, all the disturbing sounds disappeared.
Everyone stared intently at the wizard apprentice competition which started first!
…
Marvin opened his eyes and a gust of snow wind blew in his face!
Even though he was prepared, he was still startled by the sudden teleportation!
Because at this moment, he actually appeared on the top of the snow mountain!
Ten seconds ago, he was in a small hut in the wizard Rayman's demiplane, discussing tactics with Winnie.
As a result, ten seconds later, he was thrown into the snow and ice!
There was a golden key hanging around his neck.
There was a fierce wind on the top of the mountain. In order not to affect his movements, Marvin wore very little. Fortunately, Hensel prepared some simple anti-cold potions for him and Winnie.
Otherwise, the extremely low temperature alone would greatly reduce Marvin's combat effectiveness!
After taking a bottle of anti-cold medicine, Marvin regained some energy and looked around carefully.
As it was snowing and windy on the snowy mountain, visibility was very low. Marvin could only see a stone platform standing on his right!
On the stone platform, a golden magic holy grail stood there quietly.
A faint green light was fluctuating around the stone platform. Anyone who knew the rules of the game knew that this green light was a solidified version of [Dissociation]!
If anyone tries to use his hands to pass through the green light to take away the magic holy grail, his body will be dismembered and shattered!
There are six keyholes under the stone platform. Only by collecting all six keys can the defense measures around the magic holy grail be removed.
That’s right, six keyholes, corresponding to six keys.
The one hanging around Marvin's neck was one of them.
Three wizards and three followers were transported to this icy land to fight each other. Each of them had a golden key hanging on him. Only the final winner could get the keys of others - at least the other two pairs of keys, and thus obtain the magic holy grail.
Therefore, the rule of this Holy Grail battle is to fight to the end!
Even if you reach the top of the mountain ahead of time, it is useless. Without collecting six keys, everything is empty!
Moreover, the wizards and their followers were separated, and where each of them was teleported to was only known by the legendary wizard Rayman himself and the audience outside.
The players themselves don’t know.
For example, Marvin was actually teleported to the top of the mountain at the beginning.
Standing on the top of the snowy mountain, he was surrounded by steep snow slopes on all sides. Looking down, there was also endless snow and he could not see anything clearly.
"There's been a change of plan. I didn't expect to be teleported directly to the top of the mountain."
Marvin glanced at the Holy Grail next to him and frowned.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a black shadow in his peripheral vision!
That man is climbing up!
He seemed to see Marvin on the top of the mountain.
"Damn! What kind of luck is it that I encounter an iron bump right at the start?"
Ma Wen was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't help cursing!
Because it's a shield guardian!
…
"Has this Marvin finally used up all his luck?"
"Last time it was a forest, so he, a ranger, could certainly take advantage. But now we are at the top of a mountain, a snowy mountain, and he has no place to escape."
"This is the follower of the wizard apprentice in the Craftsman's Tower. He's a level 7 shield defender. His offensive ability is average, but he can definitely make that kid suffer!"
Under the Tower of Ashes, after the silencing spell was lifted, people gradually began to talk in low voices.
Because the competition takes place in the demiplane of the wizard Rayman himself, he is fully aware of the progress of the competition.
Through his magical vision and then through mirror refraction, clear images can be displayed on the three tall towers.
Marvin in the picture seems to be in big trouble!
At the beginning of the game, he didn't encounter any wizards, but a shield guardian who would give every ranger a hard time.
…
The wizard apprentices who had been taught a lesson by Marvin began to talk in low voices, their eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
And those nobles who wanted to please the Unicorn Family also spoke up, shaking their heads and pretending to be regretful, saying that Magor Academy might be at the bottom of the Holy Grail battle again this time.
Even those viewers who were neutral or even optimistic about Marvin felt that the brother duo from Magor College had a bad start.
After all, professional restraint still exists. No matter how powerful Marvin is, he will definitely be defeated when facing a shield guardian of the same level!
Of course, there are people who support Marvin, such as -
"Impossible! Baron Marvin will definitely find a way to kill that tin can!"
I don't know where this young girl's voice came from.
The older people shook their heads and smiled. Such words were probably spoken by some ignorant noble girl. Perhaps they admired Marvin because of his outstanding performance in the previous qualifying round, or there might be other reasons.
But in the eyes of most people, Marvin was in great trouble! This was an indisputable fact.
…
"Let me see how you're going to get out of this mess."
“I hope you won’t let me down.”
In the Tower of Ashes, Hathaway lazily peeled an orange and ate it while watching the constantly changing images in front of her.
In the picture, the shield guardian from the Tower of Craftsmen has successfully climbed to the top of the snowy mountain and is confronting Marvin.
The area on the top of the snowy mountain was not very large, and the two sides were staring at each other across a stone platform.
…
There were also many people gathered under the Thunder Tower.
At a table, a young man said to the girl next to him politely, "Miss Kate, please take a seat."
"The Holy Grail War is a rare large-scale wizard duel on the East Coast. It is also held to commemorate the magical Holy Grail created by the great wizard god."
"And it just so happens that during this competition, we, the Unicorn Family, are ready to destroy a clown who dares to challenge us."
"Yes, did you see that? It's Baron Marvin. Haha, his luck is really bad. Our people encountered the shield guardian before they could make a move."
The girl sat there, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
On her way home, she met the heir of the so-called Unicorn family. The latter was stunned by Kate's beauty and invited her to watch the Holy Grail battle together.
Kate thought of what her sister had always said, that building a strong power requires making more powerful allies. She had also heard about the strength of the Unicorn Family on the East Coast, so she reluctantly agreed. She had no feelings for the man in front of her, but she came to the Three Rings Tower out of curiosity.
But she didn't expect that in this battle for the Holy Grail, she would see someone she didn't expect!
"Ms. Kate? What's wrong with you?" The man seemed to notice Kate's abnormality.
"Ah, nothing. That Baron Marvin looks like a ranger. This situation is indeed not very favorable for him."
Kate was not stupid. It seemed that the Unicorn family and Marvin had a grudge against each other. She pretended not to know Marvin and answered tentatively.
"It would be such a pity if he died at the hands of this shield guardian!" The man looked proud and said with regret: "Our family has sent out the most elite killers to deal with him."
"We just want to let everyone on the East Coast know the consequences of provoking the Unicorn Family."
Kate nodded slightly, staring at the screen intently.
Somehow, her mind suddenly emerged with the scene of that night when the two of them were trapped in the cage tree and Marvin made that embarrassing request.
When she thought of this, her cheeks started to heat up.
The man next to him saw this scene and thought that it was his own charm that was working, so he continued to talk about things that he thought were very interesting.
But in fact, Kate's attention was completely focused on the reflection on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and she didn't hear a word he said.
"It should be fine. This guy should be much stronger than ordinary professionals."
She thought silently in her heart.
…
The top of the snow mountain.
"Give me your key!" the shield guardian said in a muffled voice.
"Your scimitar can't break my defense!"
"I've seen the mirror image of your game that day. It was a very clever offensive method, but I won't have such a flaw. My armor has been specially modified and there is no hole."
"Give me the key and I'll let you go."
He walked slowly towards Marvin, holding a huge shield in his hand, a small axe hanging from his waist , and his whole body was invulnerable to swords and spears.
With every step he took, his feet sank deeply into the snow.
"You can't escape. There are cliffs on all sides here. You will only die if you jump down!"
The Shield Guardian continued his verbal offensive.
"Really?" Marvin sneered, "Maybe you are too confident!"
He slowly placed his hands on the scimitar.
"In that case, don't blame me!"
The shield guardian suddenly raised his shield and charged towards Marvin!
