Chapter 8: Embarking on the Journey
"Taylortown!" Tom couldn't believe his ears, and followed the king again, "Your Majesty, do you know my father?" β
"That's right. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" said the king with a smile, "he is the bravest man I have ever known. β
Finally there is news from Dad! Tom felt tears roll in his eyes, and the king had seen a sight he could never have imaginedβhis father's face.
"Do you know where he is now?"
Tom hurriedly asked the king about his father's whereabouts, but it was not too rude to say so directly.
King Hugo and Wizard Adulo exchanged glances, and the full house of gentlemen and ladies leaned forward to hear the king's answer.
The king shook his hand, "I knew him a long time ago...... the king lifted Tom's chin and looked at his face carefully, "Son, what's your name?" The king asked.
"His name is Tom." The wizard replied in Tom's place, "Your Majesty, I must speak privately with you and Tom. β
King Hugo nodded to everyone present, "You can step back first, please treat Edward well and treat him as your honored guest." β
Edward bowed, and left the room with the others.
When the door was closed, the wizard took the king aside, and the two men argued very loudly, but the sound was so small that Tom tried to prick up his ears to know what they were saying, but he could not hear clearly.
At last, King Hugo finally raised his hand and called Tom over, and Tom walked over tremblingly, not knowing what the king would say to him, whether he was going to tell him to go.
The king said to Tom, "Tom, our kingdom is in great danger right now, and the dark wizard Mammer has found the ancient sacred beasts and does not know how to control them. β
"Ever since our first generation of ancestors moved here, the Seven Great Sacred Beasts have been watching over and protecting us from the Afanxia Kingdom." King Hugo told Tom, "The fire-breathing dragon Fenor originally protected the southern part of the kingdom of Afanxia so that the water would never be cut off, and the other sacred beasts also had their own missions, but they are now under the control of the dark wizard Mamer, and they are beginning to harm the people of this land, bringing terrible disasters." Even my bravest knights have no way to tame them. β
Tom asked, "Who is Mamer?" β
King Hugo told Tom that "he was a good man and lived a happy life, but his happy days did not last long, for he was afflicted with a fatal disease, a disease called jealousy." β
Wizard Adulo continued, "Mamo was jealous of the rulers of the Sacred Beasts, whose power was very strong, and he was jealous that the Sacred Beast Commanders could be close to them, so he began to search for the secret knowledge of the kingdom, the ancient wisdom and magic of the Sacred Beasts when they first appeared. β
Tom's mouth was dry, "Did Marmer find it?" β
"He succeeded, and the magic he obtained made him evil, and he also gained super powers, breaking the magical link between the Holy Beast Leader and the Holy Beast. From then on, the Sacred Beast Commander was imprisoned by him, and Mamo also controlled the Sacred Beast. β
"So what are we going to do?" Tom asked.
Wizard Adulo explained, "Mamer's spells are very powerful, and our only hope is to find a brave man who is capable?" Release the holy beasts and break the spells on them one by one, so that they can return to their original good state and continue to protect our land instead of destroying it everywhere. After saying this, Wizard Adulo reminded Tom, "However, we must not let everyone know about the existence of the sacred beasts, because if anyone interferes with them, they will not be able to carry out their mission of protecting the kingdom." That's why we've been pretending that there aren't any sacred beasts here. β
"The spell of the dark wizard Mamo is so powerful that no one can stop the holy beast." The king continued, "The fire-breathing Euffenor has burned all the crops and blocked all the rivers, and its holy beasts, including the fire-breathing dragon, the deep sea serpent, the lone mountain giant, the whirlwind centaur, the ice monster, the earthquake cow, and the flaming bird, have caused floods, landslides, and all kinds of chaos everywhere, and we must let them break free from Mamer's evil spells, or they will soon be in the kingdom of Avanxia, so I sent the Knight of Caldor, hoping that he could open the collar around the neck of the fire-breathing dragon Philo, It was with this collar that Mammer cast a spell on the dragon. The king handed Tom a large golden key and told him that "this is the only key that can untie the collar around the dragon's neck." β
Tom carefully took the key and turned it, it was a large key, but it had almost no weight, and Tom found that the key in the Knight of Caldor's charred iron gloves was the one in front of him. Tom looked at the king with doubts in his eyes.
The King whispered to Tom that "this key was made by the wizard of Adulo himself, but it must be wielded by a true hero in order to be effective." Your father helped me, and now I ask you to serve me. The magic of Wizard Adulo has made me aware of the power and sense of honor that lies within you, and I believe that you are not inferior to all the knights in this country. The king smiled at him and said, "Tom was brought here by fate, and now I am going to give you a secret mission......
Tom's whole body was trembling, not scared but excited.
The king approached Tom and asked, "Are you willing to risk your life to become a holy beast warrior?" β
"I do." Tom immediately replied that he had never been so determined in his life as he was now, "No matter what it takes, I will!" β
