Chapter 868 Section 99. Ten Thousand Challenges
Annan’s longing for titles existed as early as the Breeze City period...
Whenever the nobles appeared, he would be envious when the servants read out the titles that were too long. But self-proclaimed titles are meaningless, such as the King of Hide and Seek, the Uncrowned Rat Hunting Champion, the Knight of the Scarlet Princess... So far, only the King of the North, the Champion Warlock and the Lord of Free City are legitimate.
It doesn’t matter whether the Holy Grail Knight still has power, but it is important for Annan to become a Holy Grail Knight.
Dela Torre talked about the Lady of the Lake.
Wilson Lake where the Lady of the Lake is located is the holy land of all Holy Grail Knights.
As a fair and noble Lady of the Lake, the Holy Grail Knights selected by Her also have the above virtues.
The Lady of the Lake is not the most primitive and ancient god, but Her existence is closely related to the human empire-in the early days of the Saint Laurent calendar, the Lady of the Lake appeared in Wilson Lake in Wilhelm and developed Her first Holy Grail Knight.
Unlike other gods who need to develop believers and rely on believers to gain divine power, the believers of the Lady of the Lake have always been limited to the Holy Grail Knights and the Holy Grail Knights' followers. Other believers will not get any response even if they believe in her fanatically.
This allows the Lady of the Lake to concentrate her power together - no matter whether the person who becomes the Holy Grail Knight is a master or an epic, as long as he is blessed by the goddess, he can have legendary power and life.
"Do you really want to become a Holy Grail Knight?" De La Torre thought seriously.
If it was three years ago, Annan wanted to become a Holy Grail Knight and needed to observe for a long time and be recommended by three Holy Grail Knights before he could participate in the harsh and fierce trial, but now... The Lady of the Lake has lost contact, and the Holy Grail Knights have suffered serious losses. If nothing is done, they will disappear forever in the new millennium...
"I have a friend who has been instilling in me the greatness of the Holy Grail Knight..."
Annan was talking about Klein, not the member maniac Olmedo - she knew she couldn't become one.
"Teacher Mel's spirit has always been the direction of my study..."
"You are the King of the North, and the master of a floating city, and I have witnessed your character... This is the luck of the Holy Grail Knights."
Dela Torre made up his mind and looked at Annan: "I will find two old friends to hold a ceremony for you, but you have to start as a knight's squire."
"Of course!"
Annan, who was hit by the unexpected surprise, accepted it happily.
Apart from the vanity of the title and what to do with this power, Annan really admired those fair knights fighting on the front line.
"You don't have any special treatment, or the only special treatment is that you can't get the goddess' blessing. You have to compete with other knights and followers."
"No problem! But are there others who want to become Holy Grail Knights?"
"Although we have lost the goddess' blessing, the long struggle has made the Holy Grail Knights a symbol like the Paladins... In addition, you have to start the 10,000 challenges before becoming a Holy Grail Knight."
"Of course... how many?"
"Ten thousand."
"Uh... what challenges are they?" Annan still had a fluke, for example, the 10,000 challenges were to help old ladies cross the street, give food to beggars, etc.
"Such as destroying the Demon Lord, killing a A legendary black dragon, clear a ratman nest, purify a cultist church..."
Annan opened his mouth slowly and interrupted Dela Torre: "Does the Demon Lord have enough points...?"
"You are wrong." Dela Torre shook his head, "You will get challenge points for completing these challenges. For example, the challenge score of the Demon Lord is 10,000 points. If you can kill the Demon Lord, you will be a Holy Grail Knight."
"What about the simplest challenge?"
"Kill a villain, eliminate a group of bandits, and annihilate a group of rats. These will give you single-digit challenge points... But remember, you must complete it yourself."
Well, it seems that Annan will be a squire for a long time in the future.
But anyway, the warlock is a semi-immortal species. As long as Annan insists on doing one good thing a day, as long as... 300 years, he can become a Holy Grail Knight.
Dela Torre is impatient. After making a decision, he sent a messenger to ask his old friend who is also a Holy Grail Knight to come over.
"How many Holy Grail Knights are there now?"
"I don't know... With the loss of contact with the Lady of the Lake, we also lost contact with each other, but the Holy Grail Knights will gradually fill up after reaching thirty-two people."
It is known that De La Torre, the eleventh Holy Grail Knight, has lived for more than a hundred years. Doesn't this mean that only a Holy Grail Knight will appear every few years?
As for the benefits of becoming a Holy Grail Knight...Annan asked De La Torre, and he said that before that, he would be blessed by the Lady of the Lake, and like the Paladin, he would have both powerful power and the ability to release divine arts.
But now, except for a title that will be treated with courtesy and followed wherever he goes, all he can do is to summon them who are also Holy Grail Knights.
In any case, good things should start today!
Annan wandered around the camp for a long time, and finally found a civilian who was suspected of being a spy and imprisoned in the camp jail, and released him.
"Rescue the innocent person who was wrongly accused, 1 challenge point." De La Torre smiled, "But you are not a Holy Grail Knight Squire yet, the challenge has not started yet."
"Okay..."
Look at the bright side, Annan did not kill the Demon Lord, otherwise he would have wasted an opportunity to become a Holy Grail Knight directly.
"I have another question, who will keep track of the score?"
"All challenges are supervised by the Lady of the Lake, but now..." De La Torre said meaningfully, "You are the only one who supervises you."
...
The rat tribe in the north was obviously scared by Annan. Except for sending a team of wind rats on the first night, which ended in failure, they did not attack the camp again in the next few days.
The front line bordering the rats was strangely calm, but there was a rat plague behind them.
The crisis has not been resolved, and the plague is spreading to the entire Dimon Kingdom with the food in the Lesio Valley.
Those big cities that have received the news survived, but the towns and villages that were isolated from the news could not avoid it, and large areas of gathering places became uninhabited areas...
On the fifth day that Annan stayed in the camp, the autumn harvest in the Lesio Valley, which ended the chaos, was finally completed. The messenger also brought back news that the Holy Grail Knight was clearing the plague in a small town near the Lesio Valley.
"Then let's go back to the Lesio Valley quickly." Annan urged.
This place is not a strategic location. The soldiers who withdrew from the Snow Mountain Fortress suffered too many losses these days. If it weren't for the need to hold out until the end of the autumn harvest in the Lesio Valley, they would have retreated long ago.
Retreat is necessary. The Dimon Kingdom, which suffered heavy losses, has no experience in maintaining its territory and must shrink its defense line.
In order to avoid being chased by the rat tribe, Annan opened the portal and sent the soldiers back to the Valley City. Finally, Dean Blechheim took him away and left the rats with an empty defense line.
