Chapter 211: Chapter 105: Knights’ Holy Mountain_1

Behind the door, a refreshing scent of greenery wafted out, invigorating everyone’s senses. All they could see were bizarre lights and shadows, with no way of glimpsing the actual items.

"Off you go. Enter one at a time."

Three classes, thirty-two young knights filed in, stepping toward one of the most important nodes in their lives.

Long Dangdang gripped Long Kongkong’s hand and they trailed behind, "After entering, be careful and vigilant, don’t attract unnecessary attention. Bear in mind your teacher’s words: safety first. Did you hear that?"

Long Kongkong sounded slightly exasperated, "Could you please stop fussing, brother?"

Long Dangdang wasn’t sure what had gotten into him, but he couldn’t bear not to stay by this guy’s side. Yet the tradition of the Knights’ Holy Mountain dictated that upon entry, everyone would randomly appear in different areas. Indeed, they might encounter each other within, but two people are not allowed to enter the same location at the same time.

The two of them were the last to enter, even as the academy had requested before they left.

When all their classmates had walked into the bizarre world, they were stopped at the door.

The light within the door began to change peculiarly, and all of a sudden, the halo that was predominantly green transformed into a pale gold color.

It wasn’t until then that Yan Yao nodded at them and said, "Alright, you can go in now."

As expected, our cousin was right. Long Dangdang thought, his mind filled with surprise. Ling Menglu had previously indicated that their performance in practical tests might earn them preferential treatment in the Knights’ Holy Mountain. Indeed it turned out to be true. The area they’d be entering was definitely different from the others.

The brothers took turns going in, their figures disappearing amidst the golden light.

Watching their disappearing silhouettes, Yan Yao muttered to herself, "I’m rather envious, they’re going into the domain zone, right?"

"Absolutely, at least it’s a region that only magical beasts of a leader-level class can access. Back in our days, it took us quite a while to locate this area in there." said the head of the second-year class.

The head of the third-year class said, "They’ve earned their special treatment from the Temple, who can blame them for showing such superior talent during the trial? It would be great if they could spring some surprises. If we managed to produce another dragon knight, that would be fantastic."

Yan Yao smiled, saying, "Then wouldn’t I have the honor of being a dragon knight’s mentor?"

The second-year class head echoes, "Let’s stop there or else I’ll turn green with envy."

As they were enveloped in golden light, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong experienced a strange sensation. It was at this moment that a deep voice resonated in their minds.

"The Knights’ Holy Mountain is the creation of the predecessors of the Knights Temple. Over the generations, the mountain has been divided into various zones. Once inside, you will have seven days to find a steed that is compatible with you. The magical beasts in different zones vary in strength. They are generally classified into ordinary zones, high-risk zones, trial zones, leaders zones, divine beast zones, and outer zones."

"Upon teleportation, they will be randomly assigned to either the ordinary zone or the high-risk zone. You need to be cautious in the high-risk zone as the magical beasts there may be aggressive. You could also try to defeat the beasts in order to acquire your steed. As you venture deeper into the Holy Mountain, you will start to enter the trial zone. The magical beasts in the trial zone have at least a 5th-Rank talent but can be as high as 9th-Rank. The leaders zone houses magical beasts with a talent at the 10th rank and are the elites of their kind. However, the risk is also higher. Upon entering the leaders zone, the Temple will not guarantee your safety, so be careful. The divine beasts zone cannot be accessed directly unless chosen by a divine beast. In the divine beasts zone, all the magical beasts possess the highest 10th-Rank talent."

"If you have not found a suitable steed in seven days, you will be transferred to the outer zone in the last hour where you can choose to bond with a magical beast there. The beast you get will depend on your compatibility level. You may also choose not to connect with any beast in the outer zone. Once you have chosen to connect and acquire a magical beast, according to the Temple’s rules, you must form a contract with it and accept it as your steed with no room for regret."

"You will be transported to the leaders zone."

The leaders zone? They are going straight to a fairly central region? Does this mean they can save some time up front? They can spend all of the seven days in this central region looking for their mount partners.

After hearing the brief description of the Knights’ Holy Mountain, Long Dangdang quickly understood the situation they would be facing. This wasn’t just privilege that the Knights Temple had given to him and Long Kongkong.

However, at this point, his heart was more filled with worry: Kongkong was just a 4th-Rank knight. Would he be in danger in the leaders zone? Could he win the recognition of the magical beasts there?

Right then, the dazzling golden light around them gradually receded and a solid ground emerged beneath their feet. Long Dangdang found himself in a forest.

There were huge trees all around, towering dozens of meters high. The invigorating scent of the earth and plants hit his senses, momentarily causing his spirit to relax.

He and Kongkong should both be in the leaders zone and they might run into each other at any moment. Besides, since Kongkong had demonstrated the mystery of the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, the Temple’s attention to him certainly wouldn’t be lacking. Therefore, under these circumstances, there shouldn’t be any risk. And there’s also the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace in Kongkong who will surely protect him as well.
