13. Trials
Looking at the wild scenery around him, Anduin couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The little prince sat on a rock, took off his shoes, and rubbed the soles of his feet vigorously, this action did not quite match his identity, but after walking alone for almost 2 days, all the dignity of status and status was not as comfortable as resting the soles of his feet.
He was now alone on Shield Island, the largest island in the southeastern part of Stormfjord in the Broken Isles.
Calvincent went back to his war, Khadgar, Rogerio Chaser and Master Romance went to Sulamar to find the High Elves, Druiswin and Lex went to Valsara, Bane Bloodhoof, Anduin's new friend went to the High Ridge on a diplomatic mission, and in an instant, a boatload of people went their separate ways.
Speaking of which, Captain Bard wanted to go ashore with Anduin, but the fog around Shield Island only allowed Anduin, who was carrying the sword "Oath Practitioner", to enter it, and Bard and his group of "Treasure Hunters" could only keep an eye on the periphery of Shield Island, but fortunately, there were several Veku ruins here, and they were not without nothing to do.
In fact, neither Khadgar nor Swain was so relieved that Anduin would go to Shield Island alone, but the Viku people were against the public, Anduin had his own mission to complete, it was a trial, a trial from the "Oath Practitioner", according to Gavincent, this would be the most important trial to determine Anduin's future, and even Dick, who had always loved him, the mentor who was far away on another continent, also supported Calvincent's decision.
So, in the end, the little prince roamed this wild land alone.
It's not a good place... Not really, the sky here is always gray, like a layer of fog, and unlike the fog of Pandaria, the sky here is filled with an unbearable panic, and the Viku who come out of the fog and broken villages from time to time.
They are necromancy, people who have died.
The first time he saw the terrifying faces of the Viku people who had drowned in the Buddha, Anduin was terrified, he thought they would hurt him, but no, when he held the slightly shiny sword "Oath Keeper", the Viku necromancers fled into the fog as if they had seen the most terrifying thing.
From then on, Anduin's journey was uneventful, and it was only then that he realized what Calvincent and Dick meant when they said, "All is safe until you reach the Trial," and that when he had the sword in his hand, no one could hurt him, not even get close to him.
Anduin knew where he was going, it was a place called the Tomb of the First King, in the very center of Shield Island, he didn't have a lot of time, due to supplies, Captain Bard could only wait for him on the shore for a week at most, and now 2 days had passed, counting the round trip, he had less than 3 days to complete this trial that he didn't know the content of.
Thankfully, when Anduin put his shoes back on and looked out over the hillside, a dark depression appeared in front of him, with a rocky entrance that was supposed to be his destination.
"Hell the Tomb of the Ancestors!"
Anduin couldn't help but complain, then took out a piece of bread and the coconut milk that Captain Bud had carefully prepared for him, and walked forward quickly, but where the little prince had not noticed, a pair of gloomy eyes had already noticed him with a little curiosity.
It was an existence that he couldn't find at all, this sea area was her country, Anduin's sword in his hand, the familiar aura attracted her attention, and only then did she divert her attention from the war at Valhalla, in the last 10,000 years, she had experienced the breath of this sword countless times, and countless people had come to this island with this sword in their hands, but no one had ever succeeded in leaving.
This one this time is the most peculiar and weakest one, so can he create miracles?
Hella said that in this boring time, there was finally some real fun to watch.
But just as Hela slowly stood up from the Throne of Bones, a purple thunderbolt flashed from the sea above her, and even above the dark clouds, Hela was stunned for a moment, and after she could distinguish the breath of thunder, a more interested smile appeared on her face, like a huge octopus, waving the tentacles behind her, and quickly swimming towards the direction of Shield Island.
The three heads of Golem, the hell guard dog next to her, snorted, and continued to snooze with the "toy" in his mouth, and through the dim waves, it was three huge heroic spirits that had died.
The little prince had no idea what was happening behind him, and as he approached the tomb of the former king, he clenched the oath keeper in his hand, and an iron round shield that Calvincent had given him, not heavy, but strong enough for him to use, and frankly, the little prince was a little nervous.
It was the first time he had fought alone.
However, when he took a deep breath, cautiously stepped over the muddy puddle under his feet, and stuck his head out of the stone, he saw those severed arms and limbs on the ground, and at the entrance to the tomb of the first king, there was no longer a creature, it seemed... It seems that a battle has just taken place here?
The little prince threw the stone out of his hand, and the stone fell to the ground with a crunching sound, and he waited a few seconds to make sure that there was no danger, and then he quietly came out from behind the stone, and walked to the battlefield to take a look, and almost vomited the bread he had just eaten.
There's just been a massacre here!
In the short time he had been walking down the hill next to him, a mysterious fellow had killed at least ten undead Vikus!
Anduin did not dare to look at the severed arm on the ground, so he breathed in the air full of the foul smell of rotting blood, cheered himself up, and walked into the tomb of the former king.
Where is there a powerful guy who has just entered, to be honest, the little prince is a little apprehensive in his heart, but he can't help but because the oath keeper in his hand is buzzing and trying to jump out of Anduin's hand, obviously, something is beckoning this sword in front of him.
So, he had to go, if he didn't want to just give up on this trial.
However, when he mustered up enough courage to even drum up the holy energy in his body, lit a torch, and walked into the dark tomb, Anduin was surprised to find that this tomb was also a thick layer of blood, although it didn't smell good, but obviously, the forerunner had cleaned everything up.
This made the little prince breathe a sigh of relief inexplicably.
He also knew in his heart that even now, with the Oath Practitioner in hand, it would be difficult for him to deal with a Veku undead, and although these guys were not as strong as Gavincent, he was not his father either.
"Good luck!"
The little prince couldn't help but whistle, but he still cautiously leaned against the wall and continued to walk forward, and soon, two forks in the road appeared in front of the little prince's eyes, he scratched his head, and finally closed his eyes, raised the long sword in his hand, to the left, and then backwards, feeling the attraction of the long sword in his hand, he walked to the tomb on the right.
Just as Anduin's figure completely disappeared into the tomb on the right, a battle had just ended in the tomb on the left.
Magna Icebreaker, a valiant king in the long history of the Viku people, who, unlike other warriors, has enough luck and glory to wield an artifact.
It was a shield made from the scales of the unfallen Black Dragon King, the guardian of the earth, Nesario, mixed with the hardest metal, and equipped with a long sword also mixed with the scales of the Black Dragon King.
Of course, according to the fate of all the Vikus, Magna Icebreaker ended up falling victim to the hatred of Odin and Hela, and that is a long story, in short, Magna's tomb and his artifact were placed here, which is another challenge, and it is said that only the strongest warriors can defeat the soul of Magna Icebreaker, who has been driven mad by Hela, in order to master this pair of wild artifacts.
This is the Guardian of the Earth, one of the three artifacts of the warriors, and maybe at this time, the person who knows and gets it has not yet appeared, so the other guy simply pocketed it.
Lord Avena smashed the surface of the black shield under her feet with the fire of justice in her hand, and this blow directly smashed a large depression into the solid tomb ground, but the surface of the black shield did not leave even the slightest scar.
Amazed by the Sun Spirit, she withdrew her hammer, reached for the heavy shield, placed it on her arm and waved it, then pouted and handed it to Dick, who was standing aside, retracting the remains of Magna Icebreaker, whose form had been destroyed by the Light.
"It's not fun, it doesn't listen to me!"
Mistress Avena grumbled at Dick, who took the shield and put it in the storage ring with her sword, and then glanced at Mistress Avena,
"This is a warrior's artifact, and it will only obey the will of the warrior, my Anvina, are you a warrior?"
After speaking, without waiting for Anvena to refute, she put the Wind Chasing Sword behind her back and solemnly prayed to the ashes in front of her.
Dick knew the story of Magna Icebreaker, a king whose fate was sad, but he was a true warrior who deserved Odin's reward, but he lost it all.
The power of order directly broke Hela's power confinement, although Magna lost the opportunity to enter Valhalla, but under the washing of the holy light, he would not enter the country of shadows, which is Hela's country, Magna's soul has stayed in the world for too long, Dick only saw the heavily armed Viku dynasty he bowed, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
The paladin watched this scene in amazement until he was awakened by Avena.
"Hey, stupid, your disciple seems to be in trouble... He's no match for the Heroic Spirit next door!"
Dick came back to his senses, stretched out his hand for Anvena to sit on his shoulder, and walked out of the tomb, saying as he went,
"Of course I know he's no match for Igrem, but I don't want the Keeper of Truth to fall into the hands of anyone else, so even though I'm two continents away, I'm here... Isn't it?"
