Chapter 403: Holy Grail Evidence, Secret of Life Armor, Root of the World, Ancient Tree of Life
"The elders of the council decided"

Serena hesitated for a moment, then said, "I plan to officially open the Holy Grail Certificate in three years."

"The Holy Grail's proof?"

Ronan blinked his eyes and walked around a cluster of flowers in front of him, only to find that there was a sparkling lake hidden behind the scattered fruit trees.

The lake is filled with yellow and purple aquatic irises and orange-red cattails, and a group of yellow-green wild ducks are leisurely floating in the lake.

"It is a tradition of the empire, specially used for situations like the current one where the throne is undecided."

Serena explained.

Ronan stopped by the lake, looking at his tall and slender figure in a long robe reflected in the water, and said calmly, "What is the specific form of the Holy Grail proof?"

"fighting."

Serena said seriously: "Strength is always the most direct and important criterion for measuring a king."

"I remember that you held a trial called 'Hunting Bow' not long ago."

“That’s different.

The "Hunting Bow" only targets wizards of all forces within the empire, but there are too many characters that may appear in the "Holy Grail Evidence"
and. "

Selina hesitated and said in a complicated tone: "The 'Hunting Bow' trial was ruined by someone."

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't move his gaze away from the lake. He just whispered a name, "Juventus?"

"Yes."

Ronan had been in the Lost Land for three years and had obtained news about Juventus through the Book of the Spirit Lake. The news stated that Juventus had appeared in the "Hunting Bow" trial of the Life Empire.

However, now, through Selena's narration, he really understood what Juventus had done in the "Hunting Bow" trial.

It cannot be simply described as “appearing”.

——He almost single-handedly suppressed the brilliance of all the top wizard geniuses in the entire Life Empire!

No one can be his match, even if they join forces.

The Court of Life was so humiliated that it had to ask several elders of the Holy Grail Council to intervene and barely "persuade" Juventus to leave.

Yes, behind Juventus there is the seventh-level Twilight Dark Wizard King. After losing Queen Alba, who is also a seventh-level character, even if the Court of Life was "smashed to pieces" by Juventus during the grand traditional trial ceremony, they could only "persuade them to leave" instead of forcibly expelling them.

"Juventus is like a thick, impenetrable haze that hangs over the entire Trial Ground, making it hard for everyone to breathe."

Selina recalled the scene at that time, and some golden runes flashed in her lake green eyes. She took a deep breath, looked at Ronan and whispered: "Just like what you did to those wizard geniuses of the Destiny Empire during the trial of the Destiny Stone."

A warm breeze blew across the water and grass, the calls of wild ducks came from the lake, and the fragmented sunlight danced on the lake. Ronan did not say anything, and everything seemed peaceful.

According to Selina, the "Holy Grail Testimony" is the first official competition among the heirs to the throne. Anyone from any force may come to the battlefield as a "helper". In theory, it will be more intense than the "Hunting Bow" trial.

"So as long as I help you win this competition, you can become the next King of Alba?"

Ronan asked calmly.

Selina shook her head. "Of course it's not that simple. The Holy Grail Council is no longer what it was when it was first established. It has long been corrupted by power and selfishness. The so-called Holy Grail Certificate has become a joke. No one will follow the so-called tradition, including me."

"So what is your purpose in winning this competition?"

Ronan looked at Serena.

Selina said: "In the current Court of Life, a part of the power once belonged to my brother, Garcia Alba.

Before he left, he gave me everything, but many people were unwilling to accept this result. They needed me to prove that I was qualified to succeed Brother Garcia.

The Holy Grail Certificate is a test they gave me."

"Garcia Alba..."

Ronan thought of the name and his eyes flickered. "The son of King Alba who died at the hands of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society?"

"Correct."

Ronan saw the sadness in Selina's eyes for the first time. Selina gently placed her hands on her chest and whispered, "He suffered misfortune because of me. The life armor that originally belonged to him is now on me..."

Ronan narrowed his eyes and said, "Mind if I take a look?"

Selina hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The next moment, Serena's brilliant golden hair was blown up by the wind, along with her dress. Waves of invisible energy emanated from her body, suppressing the dense water plants at their feet, and creating ripples on the calm lake. Golden runes flashed in Serena's eyes, and countless golden and white lights burst out from her body, wrapping around her tall and beautiful body, and gradually weaving a pair of exquisite and gorgeous armor on her body surface.

The entire set of armor consists of a chest armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, skirt armor and leg armor, as well as a headband derived from a complex and mysterious golden rune on Selina's smooth and full forehead.

The entire armor is platinum in color, and is covered with many vines, silver leaves, and flower-like patterns, which ultimately form a huge sacred tree-like pattern with countless golden runes flashing within it.

This was not the first time Ronan had seen Selina's life armor. Compared to the battle for the wizards of southern Herams, Selina's armor had changed a lot. It seemed to have become more advanced, more complex, and more complete.

Selina's whole body was shrouded in the golden light of armor, slowly floating upwards, releasing incomparably powerful rune fluctuations from the inside out, and the entire lakeside void trembled with it.

Ronan felt the vast life energy coming from Selina. The strong wind lifted up his platinum robe, and his long white hair fluttered at his temples.

He raised his head slightly and saw Selina, bathed in endless magical light and wearing gorgeous armor, looking down at him condescendingly. Her delicate and beautiful face was covered with a layer of sacred and inviolable coldness.

The terrifying energy fluctuations washed over Ronan like a tide, and the grass and trees by the lake began to grow wildly while falling down.

Ronan knew very well what Selina wanted to do, so he narrowed his eyes and moved forward instead of retreating.

The expert level is close to perfection, and the [Star Force Field] comparable to that of a mid-level fifth-level wizard silently penetrates the body. One after another, powerful and blazing invisible stars surround and collide with each other, bursting out with indescribable dazzling light. In just a moment, all the power belonging to Selena around her is emptied.

Ronan put his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering in the wind. Under the glowing mask of dawn, his eyes were always calmly staring at Selena in front of him.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a mental force field covered the small lake beside him. Then, the powerful mental force rushed in and continued to seep into Selena's body.

Ronan seemed to have touched upon something. His eyes suddenly flickered and he blurted out, "Contract?"

"Wow—"

Amid the sound of rippling lake water, all the golden light dissipated, and all the magical powers converged in one place.

The golden runes on Selina's forehead and the armor on her body disappeared, and she gently fell back to her original place.

"As expected of His Majesty the Golden Dawn."

Selina said in a somewhat complicated tone: "You are the first person who can see the nature of Life Armor at first sight."

[Star Force Field] retracted, Ronan flicked the sleeves of his robe, and a group of wild ducks jumped out from under his robe, flapping their wings in panic and swam into the lake, and in the blink of an eye they sank into the water plants in the distance and disappeared.

He turned his head and looked at Serena calmly, who continued, "The ancestor of the Alba family, the Life Witch, found the legendary root of the world, the legendary ancient tree of life, and signed a contract with the ancient tree of life. Then, she used the power of the twelve rules of the contract to create twelve sets of life armor.

The core of the life force comes from the legendary ancient tree of life."

Ronan listened to Selina's story, his eyes flickering slightly.

Just now when he was exploring the Life Armor, he felt a sense of familiarity that was similar to when he had previously used the "Bloodline Deduction Array" to closely connect with the Holy Blood Tree and was infused with the power of the Holy Blood Tree. He did not expect that the power of the Life Armor actually came from the legendary Ancient Tree of Life.

"Alazan"

Ronan called out to Alazan in his heart and soon got a response.

"It should be true."

Arazan whispered: "Such an endless and ocean-like life energy can only be provided by the legendary Ancient Tree of Life.

It is not uncommon to sign a contract with the ancient tree of life.

Paying a certain price in exchange for the right to share the power of the Tree of Life to a certain extent can be considered a standard for measuring the strength of a plant-based wizard. Not every plant-based wizard is qualified.

Going to the root of the world and gaining the recognition of the Ancient Tree of Life, either of these two points is difficult."

Alazan paused, and then continued, "This ancestor of Alba is smarter than many wizards. She actually thought of splitting the power of rules given by the Ancient Tree of Life, and then passed it down in the form of a magic tool set and blood combination, extending the duration of this contract almost indefinitely.
amazing."

It is rare to hear the word "amazing" from Alazan's mouth. It seems that Selina's ancestor, the Life Witch, is indeed a person of extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary means.

"Your Highness the Princess showed me this, and it seems that she trusts me very much."

Ronan looked at Selina and spoke slowly.

“It wasn’t a big secret.”

Selina shook her head and said, "Of the twelve sets of life weapons left by our ancestors, eight were lost due to damage over time. When my father was alive, he found another set and copied and repaired another set. Now the Alba family has a total of six sets.

Each set of life weapons contains a perfect rule of power, which can theoretically be integrated with each other to form a truly complete ultimate life suit.
It is said that it is the supreme power that touches the laws of the world!"

Rules
Ronan felt slightly touched when he heard Selena's words.
