After entering the underground fortress of Mithril City, the Mithril Warrior led the three of Mo He all the way to the King's Hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The King's Hall is spacious and bright, with a red carpet running from the entrance to the king's throne.

The dwarven king of the Dragon's Breath Mountains sits on the throne.

The throne was on a high platform, and all those in the king's hall had to look up to see the king.

The Hammer handed the seal parchment scroll to the guard under the platform, who examined the scroll before walking up the stairs to hand it to the king.

The dwarven king sat down and briefly looked at the contents of the scroll, then placed it on the stone platform beside him.

"You're the Mithril Axe, Banning?" the dwarven king looked down at the hammer beneath the platform, his expression grim.

The brute hammer hurriedly knelt on one knee, and when he saw that Mo He and Ding Ding were still standing, the brute hammer hurriedly pulled Mo He.

Mo He willingly followed and knelt down on one knee, and Ding Ding also learned to kneel when he saw Mo He kneeling on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the Great King of the Hill, I am the Mithril Axe Banning. Hammer answered the dwarven king's question aloud.

The Dwarven King stood up and glared at the Hammer, who glared back at the Dwarven King.

For a moment the king was about to call out to the guards, but the king suddenly burst out laughing.

"Your Mithril Axe family moved out of Mithril Valley a long time ago, why did you come back to Mithril Valley for the coming-of-age ceremony?" the Dwarven King, who had returned to the throne, looked down at the Hammer again.

And the Hammer still answered the king's question loudly: "Our Mithril Axe family has always remembered that our roots are in the Valley of Mithril. It was not our family's intention to leave. ”

"We won't talk about the previous king. The Dwarven King seemed to be very satisfied with Brutehammer's answer, and he smiled and stood up again and continued, "Since you still admit that I am a dwarf from Mithril Valley, then I, the King of the Dragon's Breath Mountains, Mithril Dragon Shield Raymond, will be the overseer of your Mithril Axe Banning rite of passage, and you will be willing to accept the Courage Trial Mission, which you inherited from our ancestors." ”

"I'm Mithril Axe, Banning willing!" Brute Hammer clenched his right hand and smacked his forehead twice, indicating that he was willing to accept the task sincerely.

"Very well! If you complete the Test of Courage, you will become a true man of my Mithril Valley, and your children will inherit the Mithril Axe surname. The dwarven king stretched out his index finger and pointed straight at the brute hammer. Then he put his finger down and began to talk about the content of the Courage Trial: "Listen up, the content of the Courage Trial mission is: 1. Climb to the top of Mithril Snow Mountain and pick a rice snowflake. 2. Go to the Mithril Stone Forest to hunt a dragon's breath beast alone, and bring it back with him under his skin. 3. Go to the Mithril crater to collect a lava crystal. As long as you give me three things, you are a real man in my Mithril Valley. ”

"I have made a note, Your Majesty Raymond, the Great King of the Hill, Mithril Dragon Shield!" Hammer smacked his forehead with his right fist, and then he looked up at the Dwarven King and continued, "I would like to ask Your Majesty, Great King of the Hill, if my two friends can accompany me, I want them to witness my test of courage." ”

"No problem! I believe in you and your friends. You can go together. The dwarven king granted Hammer's request, and he looked at the hourglass devices on both sides of the throne platform, and went on to say to Hammer, "It's not early today, so you might as well dine with me in the fortress." I'll send someone to send you the Trials of Courage token tomorrow morning, so you can enter the trial area. ”

"Your Majesty, the Great King of the Hill!" replied Brute Hammer cheerfully.

The Dwarven King then took Hammer, Mohe, and Tintin to the King's Banquet, passing by a Wall of Honor carved with statues of the King of the Hill and weapons used by the King of the Hill during his lifetime.

When passing by a purple knight's long sword, Mo He subconsciously looked at it a few more times, and the long sword was actually vibrating slightly.

The style of the sword seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Mo He tightened the purple gall demon dragon spear in the weapon belt behind him, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the brute hammer.

The king is leading the way, so it's not too rude.

The dwarven king's dinner did not have the big fish and meat and the delicacies of the mountains and seas as expected.

It's just that very basic home-cooked food is prepared according to the needs of different people.

For example, Mo He was served delicate rye bread, creamy pastries and a large glass of goat's milk.

Served to Tintin was a delicious half-cooked grilled fish and a small blue blueberry.

The food of the hammer is cheese, grilled sausages and a barrel of rye wine.

The dinner between Mo He and the dwarf king was very pleasant, and the king was very interested in the things outside, especially knowing that Mo He was from the Eastern Continent, he kept asking Mo He to tell about the Eastern Continent.

Even the story of Mo He's monotonous wandering mercenary career was heard with relish by the dwarven king.

After dinner, the Dwarven King had them escorted out of the underground fortress to the royal guest inn in the underground dwarven settlement.

While resting at the inn until the next morning, two Mithril guards came to wake up Mo He and the others, and gave Brute Hammer a black iron token.

This Black Iron Token is the Courage Trial Token, which allows you to enter and exit the Mithril Snow Mountain, the Mithril Stone Forest, and the Mithril Volcano without hindrance.

All three places have direct access to the area entrance from the underpass.

Brute Hammer planned to collect the mission items in order, so Mo He and the three of them arrived at Mithril Snow Mountain first.

At the foot of the Mithril Snow Mountain, the Hammer pointed to the towering Snow Mountain and asked Mo He, "Mr. Mo He, how is it? Would you like to enjoy the scenery of our Mithril Snow Mountain together?"

Mo He knew that the Brute Hammer wanted to test his courage, and said that he wanted him to witness the trial of the Brute Hammer, but in fact, he wanted to see Mo He's courage.

Although the Autumn Grass Plains has seen Mo He's martial arts skills are not bad, this climbing snow mountain is not the same, falling from such a high place Unless it is a saint-level martial artist, it will be the same as a broken body and no corpse.

Mo He naturally agreed to the invitation of the brute hammer, not to prove how bold he was, but to challenge the dwarf's courage test.

Ding Ding saw that Mo He was going to climb the snow mountain, and he was going to climb it himself, Mo He was worried about his safety and stopped it, who knew that this little guy actually climbed more than ten meters with his bare hands, proving that it was not a problem for him to climb the mountain at all.

However, this snow-capped mountain cannot be climbed completely with bare hands, not to mention that there is no way out when there is nowhere to land, even the cold air currents at high places can freeze bare hands into popsicles.

Before going up the mountain, the three men all wore thick woollen suits, and each of them had two iron pickaxes for climbing, and there were no other tools left.

Because it was a personal test of courage, Brute Hammer did not tie himself and Mo He together with a rope.

And Mo He didn't tie himself and Ding Ding together with a rope, in case he fell, Ding Ding didn't have the strength to support his weight, and he would definitely fall and die together.

Next, you really have to climb the mountain according to your ability.

The three of them checked that there was no problem with their clothes, and began to climb up from the foot of Mithril Snow Mountain.

The temperature at the base of the mountain is not cold, and there is no snow or ice, so the climb is relatively easy.

It wasn't until I climbed nearly 100 meters that I finally came into contact with the frosty mountain wall.

At this point, you have to be more careful than before, and frosted walls may not be strong, so every landing and every climbing point needs to be double-checked.

Ding Ding is the lightest, and he is still relatively easy in this section, while Mo He is the heaviest, and he climbs more difficult.

The ice rock that had already collapsed twice, but fortunately, the climbing point hooked by the pickaxe was strong enough to not let Mo He fall.

Watching the ice and gravel fall into the sky, Mo He's whole heart trembled, if it was him who fell, he would definitely become a puddle of rotten mud at the foot of the mountain.

Looking further up, the top of the mountain could not be seen at all, and even if the place where the clouds entered was the top of the mountain, the part they had climbed now was less than a tenth.

This situation makes people feel daunted and want to retreat, and the dwarf's courage test really requires some courage.

Mo He calmed down his rapid breathing due to nervousness and fright, and warned himself inwardly that he must be extremely careful when climbing behind.

Seeing that Mo He continued to climb again, Ding Ding and Brute Hammer, who were waiting on the left and right, also continued to climb.

After another 100 meters of climbing, the climbing environment became even worse.

There's a wind here, and it's blowing against the mountain wall, and there's always a force pushing people out.

Mo He is not bad, his weight advantage allows him to put his body against the mountain wall without much effort.

But dwarves and goblins are in trouble.

The dwarf was almost blown off the hook several times.

The little goblin was even worse, almost blown down by the wind.

Fortunately, although he is small, he still has the strength, as long as he swings his pickaxe vigorously to hook the ice wall and grasp it firmly, he will not be swept away.

In addition to the wind, there is also the problem of cold.

Now the nostrils are bare in the air, and when you exhale, it's nothing, and when you inhale, you suffer, and the cold air burrows into your nose and freezes all the way to your lungs, making Mo He always have the desire to sneeze.

However, hanging on the ice wall of more than 200 meters, sneezing is a very dangerous thing.

It's still a small matter to spray yourself, but it can be a big problem if you cause loose ice to fall on the surrounding mountain walls.

The progress is really like a snail crawling.

From seven or eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them climbed to a height of about 300 meters.

The temperature here is lower, the wind is stronger, but the foothold is much stronger, and with the transition of the middle two hundred meters, the height of the three hundred meters can be overcome.

Mo He hooked the ice wall and let his body cling to the snow mountain wall for a short rest.

He looked up and was about four-fifths above the clouds.

Looking down a little further, I saw that the guard station was already the size of a fingernail.

He looked at Tintin on his left, and he was shocked by the green-skinned goblin's ability to burst out.

It is said that his small body should reach the limit at this height of 300 meters, but looking at Ding Ding's expression, he looks like he is tired of it, and his feelings are used to playing with hurricane lizards, and he likes the feeling of being blown up by the wind.

Trying to turn his head to look at the Brute Hammer to the right, the dwarf was also resting, his arms were so strong that even if he didn't use his feet, he could climb to this height with only two arms.

It's just that this trial of climbing the snowy mountain shouldn't be so simple, maybe there are some hardships waiting for them at a higher place.
