Chapter 60: The Holy White Tower
Chapter 60: The Holy White Tower
Although I slept late last night, Mino still got up from the bed early this morning.
After all, Mino, they came back this time to lead the task, and taking advantage of the convenience to go home is already a bit overstepping, if it drags on any longer, it will really delay the task, not to mention anything else, at least Mino has no face to see Archbishop Mars who takes care of him again.
However, although Mino got up, he did not immediately wake up Phil, who slept like a dead pig, from the bed, but after washing up, he first visited Grandpa Conseil's house once, and handed the letter brought by Yelai and Yeren to the two old men.
It's been more than a year, after several twists and turns, the relationship between Mino and Yelai has heated up rapidly, although at most it is still just holding hands, but the affection between each other is very clear, Grandpa Conseil and Grandma, the two old people, are the closest relatives of Yelai except for Yeren, and Mino's half of the son-in-law is naturally not too respectful.
That is, there is still an important task to be reborn, otherwise under the graciously retention of the two old men, Mino will have to have lunch.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Conseil, Mino's personal business was done, and he couldn't help Phil to sleep again, so he woke him up two or three times, and after a quick breakfast, he hurried to the town of Tassie.
When I arrived in Tarsi Town, I naturally went to visit Trek Priest who took good care of Mino, and saw the priestly uniform on Mino's body, Trek Priest Lao Huai, who had always been interested in leading Mino to the path of holy light, was pleased, looked at Mino and said yes again and again.
For this old man who has known him for many years and once thought of exchanging his life for his own chance of survival, Mino is also very respectful, but he has the heart to chat with him more, but he is forcibly persuaded to leave by Trek Priest because of the mission.
"What a good boy, my old man can be regarded as a successor in this life. ”
Standing at the door of the church, looking at Mino, who was dressed in white and riding away on a white horse, Priest Trek stroked his beard and exclaimed with joy.
Priest Trek has never been married in his life, and he has no heirs left, and he is extremely optimistic about Minow, who has known him since he was a child, although he has not learned much, but as long as Mino is willing to learn, he is taught by all his pockets, and he is really regarded as a grandchild.
Now watching Mino embark on the path of the Holy Light and become a priest like himself, he has a sense of satisfaction that his son has inherited his father's business.
The town of Tsassie is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains, but most of them are nameless hills, and even if one or two occasionally have a name, they are all obtained by the local residents themselves, and only the highest one has actually received the official title.
This mountain is called Baita Mountain, because there is a holy white pagoda built on the mountain, and the white pagoda is the destination of Mino's journey.
In the past, not long after the promotion of the Mo Wen Kingdom to the kingdom, it happened to encounter a medium-scale abyss invasion, and several spatial cracks leading to the abyss appeared in the territory, and a large number of demons poured towards Mo Wen as if they didn't want money.
If it weren't for the help of the Supreme God Sect, I am afraid that the country would be destroyed at that time, but even if the Supreme God Sect made a move, the geographical location of the Mo Wen Kingdom was still too remote after all, and there were not many masters that the Supreme God Sect could send, and many big demons could only be reluctantly sealed and unable to destroy.
And this holy white pagoda is one of them.
When Mino was a child, they also heard that there was a big demon sealed under the tower, but because of the high mountain and dangerous road, almost no one would go up, so they listened to it as a legend, but this time they received this mission, and they knew that it was indeed true.
A seventh-level great demon that was ravaging the Mowen Kingdom was lured here by the priests, and set a trap on Baita Mountain, which had no name at the time, and after sacrificing three sixth-level priests, he successfully sealed it.
Later, for the sake of safety, the royal family of Mo Wen paid a lot of money to build a white pagoda on this mountain to strengthen the strength of the seal, and the High God Cult also has priests stationed here all year round.
Because it is the White Pagoda where the priests live, and because of the saint-like behavior of the priests who sacrificed their lives to seal the demons, this tower is called the Holy White Pagoda, and the White Tower Mountain is not to mention its name, and even the town of Tassi, to which Mino's hometown belongs, is also named after it.
And Mino's task is that the magic circle under the tower to seal the demons has fallen into disrepair and has begun to be damaged, so send some magic materials to repair the magic circle.
Originally, this task was supposed to be completed by the priests serving in the Cult of the Most High God, and it was not Mino's turn to do it, but who let them pass the templar trial earlier last year.
Last year, there was a change in the underground labyrinth of the Demon Temple, and after nearly a year of investigation, he barely had some eyebrows, and he didn't dare to let the students go down to die, but this annual trial has become a routine, and after many parties summed it up, they simply changed to hunting monsters.
This monster is not as fierce as the demon, and there are people hiding in the shadows to ensure safety, which is really not challenging, especially for Mino and Phil, the two guys who have crossed the ranks, and letting them participate will only hit the self-confidence of the other students.
But Phil pulled Mino again, and shouted in front of Archbishop Mars, who persuaded the two not to participate in the hunt, that the content of the trial had changed, and it was unreasonable not for him to participate, which made Archbishop Mars a little upset.
In addition, the Supreme God Sect is a little nervous because of the inventory of the underground labyrinth, although the task of transporting the materials of the magic circle is important, but it is not difficult, combined with the identity of the Minoan native, the sum of his heart, he sent this task to two people as the content of this year's trial.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the two, they also deliberately paid for heavy bleeding out of their own pockets, and promised to give one person a first-level magic item after completing the task.
Mino, who hadn't been home for more than a year, took the opportunity to go home once, and he was not interested in hunting demonic beasts, so he naturally agreed immediately.
And Phil also knew that he couldn't beat the decision that Archbishop Mars had made, and the first-level magic items as a reward were indeed good, and Archbishop Mars also specially authorized two people and one horse each, speeding up the pace and reducing the burden, making this task very easy.
Phil coveted the rewards and ease, and felt that the left and right were just a trip, so he agreed.
The two traveled all the way from Cui Lan, although there were indispensable days of eating and sleeping on the road, there was no lack of interesting encounters, and they felt more and more that it was a wise choice to take on the task.
But now it was time to complete the task, and Mino and Phil finally understood why such an easy task could make Archbishop Mars bleed.
Seeing that the Holy White Pagoda is already within reach, but it is really not easy to go up, the mountain is not a mountain in the distance, this White Pagoda Mountain does not look particularly high, but it is not short, and what makes Mino desperate the most is that this mountain is basically no way to say, and it is particularly steep.
In many places, the slope can reach 60 degrees, and they have to carry two large bags of magic materials that are not light, and before they have reached the halfway point of the mountain, Mino's children are exhausted and out of breath.
Looking up at the nearly two-thirds way from the summit, Mino and Phil were blue in their bowels.
