Chapter 11: The Twelve Trials

Sands of Oblivion.

One of the Persian princes in the time series.

The story takes place after the plot of 'The Edge of Time', where the prince comes to visit his brother at the behest of his father, and when he arrives at the kingdom of his brother Malik, he discovers that the invaders' army has breached the city.

Unable to recover from defeat, Malik unleashed an army of sand sealed underground by King Solomon and the Elves, in an attempt to use this mysterious and powerful force to defeat the invaders.

The idea is beautiful.

But it is clear that this army, which was only born to destroy miè, cannot be controlled by individuals......

The sand all 'came to life' and turned into a terrifying soldier who attacked the creatures he saw without hesitation.

They are only born to destroy miè, they have an immortal body and terrifying powers.

Ordinary human beings, the moment they come into contact with them, turn to sand and die—a force that humans cannot resist.

If left unchecked, this plague-like army will surely destroy the world.

Realizing this, the prince, with the help of the elven queen Rysya, embarks on his own journey to reseal the army of sand.

This is the plot of the Sands of Oblivion.

(Some people say that they haven't played this game, let me introduce it, in fact, each game of Prince of Persia is a different story, and the main line is probably the prince's fantasy drifting...... Ahem, it's an adventure, so I'll briefly explain the plot of the Forgotten Sands here...... Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't know, because I basically can't write the plot. )

……

The time is half a year before the plot begins, and the location is the capital of the kingdom of Malik.

Walking out of the underground elf city of Rickham, Luo Yuan looked up at the sky, only to find that the sun had set in the west.

Night is coming, is there any difference between the starry sky here and China?

Thinking like this in his heart, Luo Yuan's eyes looked at the game console interface in front of him again.

'Goal: Complete the twelve trials of the Elven Queen Resya. Prove your faith, courage and wisdom to the other party. ’

'Reward for completing the goal: 25,000 energy points, get a free ability optimization.' ’

This is the condition for gaining the power of time.

He had to complete all of the twelve trials himself in order to prove that he had the qualifications to gain power.

Luo Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes, a wry smile erupted from the boy's mouth.

"Really...... I'm not Hercules, twelve trials or something......"

Muttering, Luo Yuan didn't know if there was such a thing as Hercules in this world, or that the other party had not been born yet?

At least. The twelve trials that were supposed to belong to that guy fell on him at the moment.

And the first trial is the 'fierce lion'.

The giant Nimian lion that lives in the Argolis region.

Running from the Arab region to the Argolis region, to which Greece belongs?

Isn't that funny? If he was really an ordinary person, how could he do it in a short period of time.

"Sure enough, the ability to gain time is not an easy time."

Luo Yuan sneered and looked at the ground.

He wondered why the elven queen had entrusted the twelve trials of Hercules in Greek mythology to herself, maybe it was some kind of coincidence?

This coincidence can be a little too strange...... So what, though.

"If I can do it, there's nothing you can say."

A gleam flashed in his eyes. Luo Yuan no longer hesitated, his figure was blurred for a while, and the next moment he had disappeared into the city.

He has dimensional powers, as long as his destination is still on Earth. Luo Yuan was able to arrive in the shortest possible time.

…………

Argolis region, Peloponnese.

Before the dense forest, above the clearing, a dimensional crack opened.

A black figure emerges from a dimensional rift. Standing in the clearing, his eyes quietly looking at the rainforest in front of him.

Luo Yuan moved his hands and feet a little to make preparations before the big battle.

It took half a day to get on the road. Finally came to the destination of the first trial.

The Nemian Lion, this is his goal this time, the 'fierce lion' of the Twelve Trials.

This giant creature that lives in the Peloponnesian forests is a powerful creature with a force that can tear through the mountains and forests, and its skin is unmatched to block sharp swords.

The king of all beasts, the mythical beast, the giant lion of Nemia, lives in this dense forest.

"Invulnerable?" A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Luo Yuan looked at the dense forest in front of him with disdain, the black light flashed in his hand, and Xiaoyue was already held in his palm.

The so-called invulnerability is only aimed at mortal soldiers, Luo Yuan wants to see if the lion with a rough scalp and thick flesh can block the demon knife in his hand.

With a strong step under his feet, Luo Yuan's body soared into the sky, turned into a black shadow, and quickly rushed into the dense forest.

The body quickly shuttled between the trees, and the powerful soul power spread, turning into a radar-like device, searching for the powerful aura around it.

After a long time to no avail, Luo Yuan was not in a hurry, his body shuttled through the forest, constantly searching.

One, two, three......

It wasn't until after six laps in this dense forest that Luo Yuan finally frowned impatiently.

"What's going on, could it be that the lion has already been dealt with?"

With such a thought in his mind, Luo Yuan stopped his body, retracted Xiaoyue, and lowered his head in contemplation.

Turning his head, he headed outside.

In the original information, the information obtained from the real world, Luo Yuan knew that the Nimian giant lion was in this dense forest.

But that's just real-world information after all.

This is the world of the Prince of Persia, and while it resembles the real world in most ways, it ...... No one knows for sure if this is exactly the same as reality.

The information is not equal, and more intelligence must be obtained before a judgment can be made.

The light flashed in his eyes, and Luo Yuan flashed and quickly disappeared in place.

Half a minute later, a small town closest to the jungle.

Luo Yuan's figure suddenly appeared on the streets of this town.

The ability to conceal is turned on, and the pedestrians around him are like blind people, completely unaware of the mysterious phenomenon of a person suddenly appearing in front of him, and still do what they should do.

Sweeping his gaze around, Luo Yuan took two steps forward, walked into the crowd, and then unlocked the concealment skill on his body.

Following the crowd to a nearby tavern, Luo Yuan sat down at a table near the bar.

"Waiter, ale~"

"Understood, sir!"

As soon as the words fell, a glass of yellow and clear beer was placed in front of him.

In front of Luo Yuan, the waiter with the end plate in his hand was showing his trademark smile at him.

Looking up, the two looked at each other.

In his eyes, a pale golden light flashed, and the corners of Luo Yuan's mouth were raised, and he smiled slightly.

The waiter's gaze was momentarily glazed, but soon clear, but if you look closely, you can see a faint golden glow in the waiter's pupils.

Mind control!

The powerful soul power completely controlled the other party in an instant, Luo Yuan reached out and picked up the beer and took a sip of it, the faint smile on his face still did not change.

Derived from the ability to pray for bee-eating, it can be said to be a panacea for mental ability.

Psychological control, including memory reading, long-distance object reading, thinking elimination, so that amplification, thinking reproduction, emotional transplantation...... And so on and so forth, if you can think of it, he can do it.

And now, Luo Yuan is making a memory reading for the waiter in front of him, stealing the other party's memory, trying to find something that will help him.

As for why you should look for a bar waiter...... Isn't it all said in the novel, the bar is the easiest place to inquire about news, and the shopkeeper is the most well-informed person......

Well, in fact, there is nothing to say about these things, the important thing is that Luo Yuan has found the trace of the lion.

The Nemian Lion is no longer here.

Not to be killed by that Hercules, but to choose to migrate by himself.

For some reason, a few days ago, the lion walked out of the dense forest that never left and disappeared in the direction of the rising sun. (To be continued......)
