Kaya stared at the pendant with scorching eyes, as if looking at something sacred.

The Amber Sword book 6 Chapter 52 Road to Azure, Trial of Chongshan I
Have you ever seen a lonely mountain?
That mountain is evergreen, and white clouds surround the lonely peak all year round. It is like a sharp sword that is inserted directly into the top of the cloud. The goshawk soars only to its mountainside, and the mountains can only be used as its background.
Bredel looked up at this lonely mountain for a long time. He thought that the mountain range of the trade wind ring was called majestic, and the mountains of Alkash were called steep, but they were to be overcome by this lonely mountain. Like a monarch.
There are some natural scenery that can strike peoples hearts, it is shocking, this lonely mountain is undoubtedly one of them.
A long ladder hangs from the top of the mountain, there are countless steps. Each level is paved with gray marble. On both sides of the long ladder, there are also countless marble columns. The long ladder connects the temple group on the top of the mountain. As they went up and down in the eyes of everyone, it became a straight black line.
“Fans of Yanblade, now I have a little faith in what Miss Tilias said …” Rutter flew off Bredel shoulder, muttering to the majestic mountain.
“What?” Bredel looked at him puzzledly.
“This is the throne of Hemirud …”
Bredel froze. He looked at Rutter in midair, as if confirming whether the latter was joking. Legend has it that Hermione placed her throne on the top of Chongshan Mountain. On this peak, there is the temple of the goddess Gaia, the home of the shepherdess of Hermione. It is said to be located in the mountains north of the Holy White Plain, but the three holy mountains in the minds of the Toquinin lions and dwarves have disappeared for thousands of years since the three relics of the Earth Temple have disappeared.
The look on the goblins face was serious. Let Bredel realize that the other is not joking, and then he understood what Rut meant by the holy mountain.
That is the sacred mountain in the eyes of the Lions and Dwarves of Toquinin.
“But it shouldnt be in Wayne?”
“No,” Root shook his head. “This mountain is here. Although it has appeared on the earth, it has a long history. Ever since the mortals lost the three holy relics. Himilu When Thunder was furious, he moved it back out of the Elemental Barrier. “
It turned out that there was such a secret, and Bredel came to understand it. He stared at the palace group in the clouds and asked, “Thats the temple of the goddess Gaia? Is the scepter of fire in this place?”
“I dont know either.”
“You dont know?”
Rutter nodded seriously. “I only know that the Scepter of Fire exists in the Mountain of Quiet Storm, because every Vosedezian elect will come here to make a pilgrimage, and only those who are approved by Jin Yan can determine the fate of the fire goblins. Each generation of goblins Kings generally dont talk about their trials, so most of the people of Fezedes dont know the exact location of the Scepter of Fire. “
“But,” he went on, “its likely here. Its on top of it.”
Bredel gaze looked up the first steps. The marble pillars on both sides of the staircase are inscribed with simple runes. This is a pilgrimage route. For thousands of years, believers caressed these stone pillars with their hands. They walked up and down the stone staircase, chanting the divine Prayer, all the way to the top of the mountain.
His eyes kept seeing far away, as if he had crossed the long river of time. I saw the scenes that belonged to that era: the shepherd girls dressed in holy robes, holding shepherds staffs, and spread a thin layer of soil on the stone steps to symbolize the reproduction and life of the people on the ground, Teachings are passed on from generation to generation.
It was not long before Bredel regained his gaze.
He took a step forward, but Rutter stopped and stopped him. “Wait, do you know who was the last person to summon the holy mountain?”
Bredel stopped, looked at the latter, and replied, “Isnt that your Fire Goblin? The previous Fire Goblin King?”
Rutter shook his head like a rattle: “Thats different. Im talking about mortals, no … maybe not mortals.” He looked at Bredel with a puzzled look: “It should be someone like you.”
“People like me, Mage Brigade?”
“Maybe you can say that, but its not exactly the same, its almost the same. Its someone like you. Do you know who it is?” Then he didnt wait for Bredel to answer. Then he continued to say on his own words: “Father of the Flame Blade, the holy mountain has completely different meaning to people like you. It is a trial …”
Bredel had already guessed who he was about to say at this time: “Trial of Chongshan, is the knight of Azure?”
Lu characteristic nodded and looked at him silently, murmured: “… Miss Tiliass prediction may be true. The trial of Chongshan is just the beginning, but it is the highest standard …”
“You mean, isnt that trial unique?”
“Of course, it is not the only one. It is a trial for the authors of the Seven Relics. All previous Dark Dragons can only get the trial of the King.”
“Historical Dark Dragons?”
“Its a candidate,” Malocha followed Fias and Baiwu, and Baiwu interface replied: “But its not necessarily true. In earlier times, there were more than just them. But Odin never said about the trial, and no one, including the queen, knew it. “
The goblin seemed a little embarrassed. He seemed to want to express something, but couldnt say it, but in the end he still said: “The followers of the Flame Blade, once you take this step, you cant go back.”
“Will it be dangerous?”
“Danger you cant imagine. It took the Azure Knight 40 years to pass the trial of Chongshan and get the approval of the mountains. He has been on the verge of life and death several times. If he is not as strong as steel, it is impossible to persist. Come down, if you die in the trial, you will really die. “
“Your strength is still a bit too weak … The point is that no one can help you, nor can your Travelling Mage ability. By the way, I may be able to walk with you, and I am also the callee of the Scepter of Fire. “
Bredel looked up and glanced at the heavenly ladder again. Then he turned back and said to the others behind him, “You are waiting for me here.”
With that said, he did not hesitate to take a step forward and set foot on the first stone staircase of the Seat of Hemirud.
“Wait for me!” Rutter shouted and rushed up.
But as soon as he flew up the stairs, he found that he had lost Bredel .
Bredel found that at the moment he set foot, the stairs disappeared, the marble columns on both sides of the stairs disappeared, the holy mountain disappeared, and the palace complex on the mountain naturally disappeared.
A gust of cold wind rushed towards him, and he found that he was located between a snow-capped mountains, howling winds. The peaks seemed to be rocks that exposed the snow, and the rocks were sharp like sharp blades, and the sky was gloomy. Like lead casting.
When the second gust of wind blew, Bredel felt a chill in the bones. This chill seemed to penetrate his tough skin and reach the bones and the inner canals, so that after the extreme state, it rushed like a molten steel stream. The blood froze.
The powerful strength seems to be gone, shivering in the cold like an ordinary person. Although Bredel understands that this is only an illusion, he only understands by opening the system: instead of decreasing, his strength has increased.
The Tilmos robe was replaced with a double-layer chain plate armor. Between the seams of the plate armor, a chain of metal was interlocked with a thick layer of mink. The inner pad is thick flannel, and there is a layer of silk lining. The inner layer of metal gloves is filled with the best deerskin and down. The iron foot is also a thick soft layer. He also wears a layer The long bearskin shawl and cape can be ashamed of any craftsman in the year of the sword.
