A strange world

Chapter 409 Chapter 67. The Sixth Holy Grail Knight

The only rewards given by the empire to the academy are fame and the title that belongs exclusively to the champion—Champion Warlock.

Like the Champion Knight, it is the end of earthly glory. Professionals who are named champions can be respected wherever human civilization radiates.

It is more precious than the title "King in the North". When Annan visits a certain place as the King of the North, the locals will most likely exclaim, "Oh, what a big shot." But when he appears as a "champion," Annan can easily gain fans everywhere.

Some nobles believe that giving the "champion" to a group of young people will make the championship less precious. Only the really big shots and well-informed people know what is going on - the title of champion of the competition has been reserved from the beginning.

A young nobleman who inherited the King of the North uncovered the McCann rat-men's conspiracy to go north, and was wanted by the Montreal family branch who secretly collaborated with the rat-men. He still revealed their horrifying act of murdering the two Holy Grail knights, and finally resisted the rat tide. , to prevent the snow mountain fortress from falling into the attack of the demon tide and the rat tide.

The title of champion is well deserved.

The canonization ceremony was for Annan to be crowned by a Holy Grail Knight. This resolute old Holy Grail Knight put on Annan a ring woven with green wheat ears.

The Holy Grail Knight lowered his head intimately and said: "I know what you have done... Mel and Kleiber will be proud of you."

The Eighth Holy Grail Knight and the Fifteenth Holy Grail Knight...

"Do they still have a chance to be resurrected?" Annan didn't want to see human heroes die from betrayal.

"I don't know, child... we could do it before, but in the turbulent years, all the gods lost contact, including the goddess. Only the gods who were prepared in advance hid in the world..."

"Can you be more specific?"

"Of course. Some of those gods had a premonition of turmoil, some walked the world as saints and avoided the crisis, and some broke through the barrier with powerful power. It's just that these gods who descended lost most of their power and were unable to serve humans. To counteract the next crisis..."

"Is there still a crisis?"

"Unrest will never appear without reason..." The Holy Grail Knight patted his shoulder meaningfully.

"Child, you seem a little disappointed?"

"I thought there would be some rewards." But after telling the Holy Grail Knight that these things were too vulgar, Annan changed his words and said, "I thought I would see the emperor of the empire."

Annan's only contact with the emperor was hearing his voice when announcing the competition for the bottom nest.

"The emperor has already met you," he said.

Annan looked at the seat shrouded in magic.

The Holy Grail Knight met other players one after another, making them excitedly praise him a few times, distinguishing Annan from their treatment.

The Knights of the Holy Grail regard Annan as a junior who can talk to each other as equals, while they are just students.

"I am Salgado, the Sixth Holy Grail Knight." After going around in a circle, the Holy Grail Knight returned to Annan, with the unsmiling minister on the left.

The court painter was painting contestants from ten academies, and the hand holding the brush waved into an afterimage.

Annan was caught in the middle of the big shots, but the only ones he knew were the Knight of the Holy Grail and Isabel's uncle.

"You look much younger than Mel."

"But when I became the Knight of the Holy Grail, Mel was still a squire." Salgado said that after the Lady of the Lake also lost contact, they used some of their divine power and less, and no knight would waste their precious power on staying young.

"Do I have a chance to become a Grail Warlock?"

The minister tilted his head slightly, and Salgado smiled: "There is no such thing."

"But there shouldn't be a requirement that a warlock can't become a Holy Grail Knight, right?"

"Yes, child, as long as you pass the goddess's test. But not now..."

Annan looked to his left again and hesitated: "Uncle Ollie?"

The muscles on the Minister of Ceremony's face seemed to have lost their support and drooped.

"I am Isabel's friend..."

The minister ignored him, another Mr. Swaro?

It only took a few minutes for the court painter to complete the giant oil painting of the first Imperial Contest. The painting will be collected by the Imperial Museum.

Annan saw this oil painting. The lifelike students stand in the arena, with cheering audiences and falling flags behind them. The layering of paint gives this oil painting a historical weight.

The Knight of the Holy Grail is gentle, the Minister of Ceremonies is serious, and a shy smile appears on his face at the center of the painting.

"Did I laugh like this just now?" Annan couldn't remember.

After the competition ended, the Imperial Ceremony Department held a grand banquet in the Huanshan Palace Garden in the name of the royal family.

Annan and the others did not have formal clothes, so they returned to the embassy first and asked the etiquette department to send them. As soon as he came out of the arena, he met Reis. Annan thought he wanted the jewelry back, but the boss of Gem Star said that he had a lot of money and offered it to Annan. In the past few days, Annan had brought several times more benefits to Gem Star. expenses.

"We will still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Annan said mysteriously, without telling the curious what Reis was. Then I went to Steve's Magic Store and said it again.

"Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" now has two sponsors.

Knock knock knock——

Embassy, ​​there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Annan raised his head from the open money box, closed the lid and put away the magic ring, and opened the door to let Alice in.

"The competition is over, what are you going to do next, get a fiefdom?"

Annan took out a notebook from under the pillow and handed it to Alice.

"Magic image?"

After saying that, Alice didn't see the ugly title and opened the note. And Annan opened the portal in the bedroom-the Ministry of Etiquette granted the embassy the ability to cast spells.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Ilimoyas." Annan greeted the blue dragon who was napping on the sparse gems. "Your dress that day looked good..."

Ilimoyasi's lazy vertical pupils became sharp: "That's mine!"

"But there is still one piece of jewelry missing."

Annan didn't care about her attitude and took out the purple gemstone necklace from the ring. He gestured hesitantly on Ilimoyasi's huge dragon body and asked her to stretch out her dragon claws and wear it as a ring.

"A purple gemstone worth 600 gold coins..."

Ilimoyas purred in a low voice, as satisfied as Lily.

After putting on the "ring", Annan paused: "How much?"

"The Dragon Clan has the ability to know the value of items." Ilimoyas whispered proudly.

Annan lowered his head and looked at the necklace on the dragon's claw, and hurriedly reached out to untie it. Ilimayas wanted to retract the dragon's claw, but found that Annan could not enter the portal, so she grabbed the "ring" and squeezed out of the dragon's claw. Ilimoyasi let out an angry roar, stretched out her dragon claws to hold Annan firmly, and shook out the coins in her pocket -

Alice raised her head and glanced at the two guys fighting, and continued to read the plan on the note.
