682: Chapter 216 Water Demon, Naga – bined Forbidden Curse (Part 1) 682: Chapter 216 Water Demon, Naga – bined Forbidden Curse (Part 1) “Please, Miss, after you.” As he spoke, Lange stepped aside to make way without accepting Marina’s courtesy, his expression growing even more respectful, and he made a gesture inviting her to proceed.
Marina smiled slightly, “It’s been several years since we’ve met, and your magic rank has improved a great deal, senior brother.”
Lange replied solemnly, “I shall never forget the guidance of our teacher from those years.
Praise Falan.
Miss, please do not address me as senior brother.
Lange is not worthy.
I only wish to serve as our teacher’s servant.
Miss, please go ahead.”
In the VIP area, Emperor Maximo stood up with Sura and all the ministers watching the petition, and they all bowed slightly toward Marina.
Maximo’s voice, amplified by sound amplification magic, spread throughout the venue, “Let us wele Miss Marina.
Miss Marina es from Faran and is the next successor of the Light Saint Tower within Faran’s Seventh Tower, also known as the Saintess of Light.
It is an honor for Landias to invite Miss Marina as the Peak Magic Master of this event.
Praise Falan.”
The mystery was unveiled, and almost all eyes watching Marina changed, and for a moment, the sounds of “Praise Falan” echoed throughout the venue.
Ye Yinzhu looked at Marina with some confusion.
He could fully understand the reverence with which the Grand Sorcerers treated her, after all, Faran is the sacred place for all mages.
However, what he couldn’t understand was why someone of Marina’s status would e to serve as the Peak Magic Master.
This did not seem to be Faran’s style, especially since Faran had long since been closed.
Kleyena seemed to see the confusion in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “Surprised, right?
Sister Marina is a very powerful Light Mage, and also the direct disciple of the Light Tower Master.
Since Faran shut its doors, Sister Marina was ordered by her teacher to travel across the continent for experience.
She said she had a junior sister traveling with her and that she came to Landias to find her junior sister.
It’s just that I don’t know if she has found her yet.”
Hearing Kleyena’s explanation, Ye Yinzhu suddenly realized, so Marina had e for Sura.
Was it because she heard that Sura was going to be married?
On the stage, Marina smiled faintly and slowly walked to the center, “I am honored to serve as the Peak Magic Master for this martial and magical petition of Landias Empire.
Now, I will announce the petition rules.” Despite the many cheers, her voice was clear enough for everyone to hear, and a layer of faint golden light radiated from her, turning her into the center of attention and no longer did anyone focus on Ye Yinzhu and the other four finalists.
“The rules of the petition are as follows: the five finalists of the magic petition will have magical duels with me, and whoever lasts the longest against my magic will be the final victor.”
Marina’s voice was pleasant to hear, melodious yet not piercing, gentle as the spring breeze, warming everyone’s heart.
Ye Yinzhu also did not expect the petition to be of such a nature.
Since he entered the petition, this was the first time he actually got interested.
He too wanted to see just how far the magic of the Saintess of Light had progressed.
With the history of the Eastern Dragon Empire, it was inevitable that they would eventually clash with Faran, and understanding Faran’s strength sooner was beneficial.
Cheers rose once more; Ye Yinzhu was not the only one eager to witness the magical power of Faran.
The leaders of the Mage’s Guild had already stepped aside, and Grand Sorcerer Lange announced, “According to the ranking order from the semifinals to the finals, contestant number five, it is time for your final evaluation.”
The last-ranking contestant among the five, who had never thought he would be the first to go onstage, stumbled a bit due to nervousness, nearly falling over as he ascended the platform.
This contestant was a replacement for a mage that Ye Yinzhu had killed during the last duel of the semifinals.
One could say he was incredibly fortunate.
Stepping onto the stage, the Wind Attribute Mage faced Marina with her gentle smile and inexplicably froze for a moment.
The three Grand Sorcerers on the outskirts had simultaneously erected a magical realm barrier to prevent any magic elements from harming bystanders during their mutual attacks.
Marina stepped aside on the stage and said gently, “Contestant number five, please be careful.
As soon as Master Lange gives the signal, my attack will begin.”
Just as Lange was about to declare the start of the first final duel, the number five contestant suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”
Lange frowned and asked, “Contestant number five, do you have a question?”
Contestant number five pulled off the hood over his head, revealing a rather handsome but pale face, and said respectfully to Marina, “Praise Falan, Miss Marina.
My name is Bier, from Polly’s Kingdom.
As a faithful believer of Faran, I cannot bring myself to raise a hand against the Holy Woman of Light.
I am willing to be the last in the finals.”
Marina was slightly taken aback, not expecting such an oute.
With a slight frown, she said, “This is just an exchange of skills, unrelated to status.
Since you entered the petition, don’t you want to achieve a good ranking?”
Bier was still as respectful as ever, “No, I think there’s no need.
Being able to meet Miss Marina today is already the greatest happiness for me.” As he spoke, he bowed to Marina, like a disciple, and backed away with his body bent until he left the stage.
Next to Ye Yinzhu, Kleyena chuckled, “This must be the umpteenth fool already.”
“Fool?” Ye Yinzhu blinked in confusion.
Kleyena explained, “Yes!
Didn’t you see that guy remove his headgear first?
I’ve seen plenty of people who want to leave a deep impression on Sister Marina, even I’ve encountered many.
Are these boys nowadays only capable of these few methods?”
Hearing her words, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but smile in his heart; so, that was it.
Contestant number five did put in some effort.
It’s just a pity that it won’t be easy for him to establish a relationship with the Saintess of Light.
On stage, Lange announced with resignation, “Contestant number five gives up the final.
Contestant number four, please enter.”
Contestant number four felt rather displeased at that moment.
During the semi-finals, he had been quite frightened by Ye Yinzhu’s terrifying Spiritual Magic.
Just now, as soon as he saw Marina appear, his heart immediately felt as if his goddess had descended; with this goddess from Faran present, who would care about any princess, any power?
If he could establish even a slight connection with Faran, it would undoubtedly be the best for a mage.
While he was racking his brains for ways to approach Marina, contestant number five had already suavely pleted the scene just now.
Contestant number four couldn’t help feeling furious; wasn’t that stealing my lines?
If I had known, I wouldn’t have wanted this fourth place.
While contemplating, contestant number four slowly ascended the stage and, without waiting for Lange to announce the start of the match, thought of what he believed to be a good idea on the spot.
Suddenly, he quickened his pace and headed straight for Marina, his speed so fast that even Lange was somewhat unable to react.
Marina was startled, and the golden light on her body suddenly intensified, emitting a faint purple glow.
Just as she was about to cast a defensive spell, contestant number four knelt on the ground with a thud about twenty meters away from her, pulling off his own headgear.
“What, what are you doing?” Margarita was stunned.
Though contestant number four wasn’t as handsome as contestant number five, he could be considered above average.
And now, his eyes shone with an immense longing, “Holy Woman, please accept me as your disciple.
I too am a Light Mage.”
Marina replied with some embarrassment, “You, what’s this about?
Stand up first.”
Contestant number four insisted firmly, “No, Holy Woman, I won’t stand until you accept me.
Faran is the place of my dreams, how could I let go now that I’ve finally met you?
Don’t worry, I have already reached the rank of Blue.
Praise Falan, Holy Woman, please just accept me.”
This contestant number four, who appeared to be nearly thirty years old, knelt before Marina, the Holy Woman, creating a rather bizarre scene.
The spectators outside could not hear the voices on the stage, but judging by the behavior of contestant number four, they could guess what he was doing, and disdainful voices began to rise.
Even if this guy was genuinely eager to join Faran, there was no need to do so on the stage.
It was clearly an attempt to get close to Marina.
Emperor Maximo’s face had turned unpleasant.
The martial and literary petition was one of the most important grand occasions in the Landias Empire, and those who made it to the finals were naturally the cream of the crop.
Yet now, two of these so-called elites had surrendered without a fight.
Even though he didn’t dare to have any ideas about Faran outwardly, these contestants’ groveling demeaned Maximo’s dignity.
If the Master of Faran’s Seventh Tower were to show up, wouldn’t the whole Landias Empire surrender?
Especially when he saw the hint of disdain at the corner of Sura’s mouth, his irritation was further stoked.
“Cruz,” Maximo called out in a low voice.
Cruz had followed Maximo for more than just a day or two and naturally understood what the Emperor meant.
Although Marina had encountered countless suitors, such an insolent behavior as displayed by contestant number four was new to her.
After all, she was merely a twenty-year-old girl and, for the moment, seemed somewhat at a loss.
Seeing Marina looking at him in a daze, contestant number four thought his plan had succeeded and already began to daydream.
If he could bee a disciple to such a beauty, not to mention the benefits of joining Faran, just being able to spend day and night with such a beauty was a delight!
Such a peerless beauty was probably unrivaled on the entire continent.
At this moment, he had pletely forgotten about his original target, the Phoenix Princess.
