Chapter 22: The Five Altars
Boozer was directly laughed at by Li Huaxia, he laughed, and said jokingly: "Little guy, you really dare to say it, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue!" All right! As long as you come up with a treasure worth as much as my beads, then we're going to gamble!" ”
As he spoke, he took off a string of rosary beads from his hand, and the rosary was as white as snow and exuded a strange fragrance.
Ye Shi whispered in Li Huaxia's ear to explain the origin of this string of beads. This is the Divine Rosary, which is made from a shellfish found in Alice's Tears. Wearing it can warm up the spiritual power, calm the mind, and assist in cultivation, which is a rare ornament.
Li Huaxia thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think about what to take to bet with Boozer.
Yesterday, he had seen Boozer's strength, no matter how the other party looked at it, it was comparable to the strength of a human ninth-level ability, and the ornaments he carried with him would not be mortal no matter how he looked at it.
Most of the treasures on his body were accumulated by killing opponents in [Jinli], and the highest level was probably those relics in the Huangba Space Bracelet.
However, Huang Ba should be a relatively poor ninth-level ability, and he doesn't have any truly rare treasures.
Seeing that he had not taken out the bet for a long time, Boozer was very proud: "People of age should know the weight!" Know how to respect your predecessors, otherwise you will only bring shame on yourself! ”
At this time, Beskode couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Huaxia.
Li Huaxia pulled out the [Yunshui Sword] with his backhand and said horizontally in front of him, "Elder Buzeer, I don't know if this sword is enough?" ”
Seeing the [Cloud Water Sword], Boozer's breathing suddenly became heavy! He never thought that this sword would actually be on Li Huaxia's body!
He nodded hurriedly, and promised again and again: "Enough, enough is enough......" When he said this, his eyes were fixed on the [Yunshui Sword], and he couldn't move away.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Huaxia finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the sword he picked up from the garbage planet is really a treasure.
- He didn't know the meaning of the [Yunshui Sword] to the people of Niya at all, let alone the true value of the [Yunshui Sword].
Seeing that Li Huaxia actually took out the [Yunshui Sword] to gamble, Boozer was really overjoyed.
Bescord, however, was not easy to fool, and he snorted and scolded:
"Boozer, you stinking shameless! Take a string of broken beads, and you are embarrassed to bet with Huaxia [Yunshui Sword]?! Are you sorry? ”
When the people of Niya present heard this, they couldn't help but show a trace of disdain when they looked at Boozer.
Boozer's face flushed, of course he understood that his [Divine Rosary] was nothing compared to [Cloud Water Sword].
He directly untied a leather bag from his waist and said very shamefully: "All my treasures are here, bet or not, in a word!" ”
"Hmph, bet!" Li Huaxia said proudly.
Bescord smiled and said, "Since the bet has been agreed, how about I be the notary?" ”
Boozer gave Bescord a blank look, and replied without hesitation: "I can't believe you!" ”
That's right, as the great elder of the [Son of Anduin], it is indeed not suitable for Bescord to be a notary. In the end, a white-eyed Niya elder beside Xie Tu spoke in a hoarse voice: "If you don't dislike it, let the old man be the notary......
This white-eyed old man is the Grand Elder of the [Demacia] tribe, Osirid.
He was fair and upright, and he was well known among the people of Niya. Let him be the notary, everyone can trust.
After this little episode, Li Huaxia sat down on the stone platform with Bescord.
Bescord asked him in a low voice: "Huaxia, are you really sure that Seychelle will not be able to enter the top five?" ”
Li Huaxia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fifty percent sure......"
"Fifty percent of you dare to bet? If you really lose the [Yunshui Sword] to him......" Bescord was a little anxious.
"Huh? Does this sword have any special meaning to you? Why do you all care so much? Li Huaxia asked.
Now he was suddenly a little curious...... At the beginning, Xie Tu looked down on himself because of the [Yunshui Sword], but now whether it is Boozer or Beskode, as long as he mentions the [Yunshui Sword], he has an excited expression, this sword is weird!
Seeing that he didn't know the meaning of the [Yunshui Sword] at all, Beskode was about to open his mouth to explain, when he heard a burst of luxurious music coming from the entrance of the Natural Altar.
A row of mighty golden-armored warriors with [Iros] spears emerged from the [Guardian] temple outside the altar, and stood in two rows neatly at the entrance of the [Natural Altar]. Loris Lan walked slowly out of the altar dressed in golden red and wearing a crown of purple stars.
Under her gaze, the elders and warriors of the twelve tribes present stood up and bowed. Their etiquette was all impeccable, after all, it was one thing to scoff at the private life of the Lord Priest, and it was another thing to openly challenge the authority of the [Red Priest].
Loris-Lan nodded to the elders, then smiled and beckoned to Li Huaxia, shouting, "Huaxia, come!" ”
Li Huaxia obediently ran to his mother's side, let his mother take his hand and said, "This is my son Li Huaxia!" He is now a member of the Sons of Anduin tribe! He is the first warrior of [Son of Anduin] this time! ”
Hearing her introduction, Xie Tu was the first to applaud, and with his movements, a sparse applause rang out in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, under the leadership of the Grand Elder of the [Demacia] tribe, the applause of their entire tribe was very warm.
Obviously, the [Demacia] tribe recognized Li Huaxia very much, which surprised many people.
Loris-Lan didn't waste too much time, she smiled slightly, and said, "Please come with me the elders of the tribal leader and the warriors who participated in the selection!" ”
The selection of each [Natural Baptism] will be carried out inside the [Natural Altar], and on weekdays, in addition to the nine priests of the altar and a group of holy women, they can enter and leave the altar freely, even the elders of the twelve tribes cannot enter the altar at will.
The environment inside the [Natural Altar] was completely different from what Li Huaxia had imagined, and he originally thought that the inside of the altar would be decorated with various colored gems, which would be full of brilliance.
However, after entering the inside of the altar, he was somewhat disappointed. The long stone corridor was a little damp, and the pearls hanging on either side of the corridor emitted a hazy soft light, stretching everyone's shadows long...... The ancient frescoes on the walls are already a little mottled, silently telling the ancient history of the Niya people.
Most of the areas in the altar are closed, and it is unknown what role Li Huaxia has.
After entering the altar, no one spoke, and the empty corridor echoed with the sound of everyone's silent footsteps.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the passage came to an end...... At the end of the passage is a shadow wall, and the patterns on it left a deep impression on Li Huaxia.
On top of a huge flower-shaped building, a five-colored altar sits in the levitation! There was a figure standing on the altar, his body was shrouded in golden light, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and beside him, there was a rain of light floating like the petals of the sacred tree of [Ajayana].
He stretched out his hand and scattered a large rain of light on the kneeling nya in the flower-shaped building......
Seeing this mural, Li Huaxia couldn't help but ask Ye Shi in a low voice: "What is painted on this?" ”
Ye Shi also replied in a low voice: "This mural tells the story of the [Arrival of the Holy Son]!" Legend has it that one day the god Niya will send her heirs to the earth to bring blessings and divine grace to the people of Niya! Of course, this is just a legend, and in our history, the Son has never appeared. ”
Listening to Ye Shi's story, Li Huaxia couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
He thought to himself, "I really can't figure it out, the powerful Niya Federation would believe such a story of deceiving children......"
Skirting the shadow wall, everyone came to a plaza inside the altar.
The empty square is a kilometer long and wide, and at the top of the square, five beams of light are cast to illuminate the five quaint altars at the end of the square.
Loris Lan pointed to the five altars and began to introduce the selection rules for the [Natural Baptism] slot.
[Natural Altar] is an artifact left in the world by the god Niya, the artifact has a spirit, and the [Natural Altar] will formulate the content of the assessment according to the situation of the contestants.
No matter what the content of the assessment is, the warriors of Niya who finally arrive and stand on the altar first will become candidates for [Baptism of Nature].
Of course, the warriors who fail in the assessment will not be disqualified immediately, and the warriors who do not stand on the altar will get a chance to challenge.
They can choose to challenge the warriors on the altar or forfeit the challenge.
If they challenge and defeat their opponents, they can stand on the altar in place of the challenged.
In the end, if there are no warriors to continue to challenge, the warriors who are still standing on the altar will finally get the place of [Natural Baptism].
The rules are easy to understand, but the most important thing is what exactly is the content of the assessment that is lowered by the [Altar of Nature].
Some of the warriors who participated in the selection were good at fighting, some were good at formations, and some were physically strong, and everyone hoped to encounter an assessment model that was beneficial to them.
Of course, a strong person like Xie Tu, who is good at everything, naturally doesn't matter.
After Loris Lan introduced the rules, a solemn look appeared on his face, and he asked in a loud voice, "Warriors, are you all ready?" ”
The twelve warriors shouted in agreement: "Ready! ”
Hearing everyone's voices, Loris-Lan raised her arms high, and in the next moment, her body was like a star, radiating a golden glow!
She seemed to be one with the entire [Natural Altar], and at his feet, one after another ancient and mysterious runes flashed, and a huge six-pointed star circle was outlined by golden light, and her mouth gently spit out a subdued syllable, which was the ancient god language of the Niya tribe.
As she moved, the dimly lit plaza lit up, and a golden passage to the five altars appeared out of thin air.
In the hearts of the twelve contestants, a mysterious voice sounded:
"Go through the Golden Passage and reach the altar! The warrior who is the first to ascend the altar will become a candidate for [Natural Baptism]! ”
