Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1009 Trial Begins Passing Exam
But no matter what, for Xia Duo, as long as it doesn't affect his participation in the Excalibur trial, then it's no big deal.

Soon, the number of ordinary elves at the foot of the Elder Oak ceased to increase, and at this time, Osens, the crowned king of Jaronstad, who was already too old to be an elf, came down here with the support of two attendants.

Behind Osens, followed his advisory group, most of them were the patriarchs of the various high-ranking families in Jaronstad, and a few of them were high-ranking mages who followed the Crown King, or some strange talents.

After Mian Wang arrived, he didn't stand up to everyone, but came to Xia Duo's side in front of where the Jaronstar elf was standing, facing the forces involved in the merger on the opposite side.

At this point, all relevant personnel have arrived, only the high mage who is in charge of hosting and witnessing all this is left.

Of course, some high-ranking mages have also been present, such as Mikael, a follower of the crowned king of Osens, or the patriarchs of certain high-ranking families.

But more are those elders and seniors who have a famous reputation in various countries, and most of them are high-ranking mages in the neutral place of the Elven Court. (These high-ranking mages also come from various countries, but they are not necessarily from the Ristar Forest, where they retire or live in seclusion~)

And if you want to integrate a large area of ​​land around the Elf Court into the territory of the emerging Cormanthor Kingdom, you cannot do without the approval of these seniors and elders.

From this perspective, they are the true witnesses.

Even though the sun had risen to a certain height, and the fine sunlight fell on the elves through the lush branches and leaves of the elder oak, they were not at all impatient.

As the sun continued to rise, a mist seemed to rise in the forest, and the light merged into the mist, turning into an ethereal light mist.

And in such a light and fog-filled environment, the sound of real wind chimes, plucked strings, and the voice of an old elf that is gradually becoming clear can be heard faintly in the distance.

The voice slowly narrated the history of elves' pioneering in the Riestal Forest, from the establishment of Akola, Jaronstad, and Uviron, to the discovery and development of Cyberholm later.

Thousands of years of history, including some major events and heroic deeds, were unfolded in front of the descendants of elves like an epic.

Until the track of history reached 1000 years ago, the old voice gradually became deeper and deeper, but at the same time, it seemed that a long-suppressed emotion was about to burst out:

"1000 years ago, the meteorite fire that fell from the sky destroyed the Kingdom of Uvelen, which also seemed to herald the decline of the Ristar Forest.

"First, the crown king of Akola was murdered, and then the court of the elves was breached. In that disaster, the new crown king of Akola, the crown king of Jarensta, and countless elves were killed.

"And the crowned king of Osens became the spiritual guide of all the elves at such a critical moment, leading us to expel the drow and recuperate.

"To this day, the life of Osens crowned king will eventually come to this day, and then he will go to Farrell's homeland to start a new life, but how should we who stay in the mortal world go on?"

The voice was silent for a while, and among the elves began to whisper: "Unite! Unify!"

At first, it was just the whisper of a certain individual, but then it merged into a whole, and the sound of unity and unity echoed around the Elder Oak, and dispersed the gradually rising hazy light mist into finer pieces and more hazy.

At this time, Xia Duo discovered that the hexagonal silver platform originally prepared for the ceremony was already full of elves, and almost all of them looked old, as if they would fall to the ground when the wind blows.

But their bright and clear eyes are not old-fashioned at all. On the contrary, they reveal the light of enlightenment and wisdom, which are deep and penetrating to people's hearts.

One of the elves slightly raised his hand, suppressed the voice of unity and unity lingering around the elder oak tree, and continued to say:
"Yes, we need unity! We need unity! For this reason, despite the weakness of the body, the crowned king of Osens made a last prophecy for us——

"He predicted that among us there would be a true king who was destined to unify the Riestal Forest and lead the brand-new Cormanthor Kingdom to unify the entire elf world and even more territories!
"And the Excalibur Trial is a coronation ceremony dedicated to the only true king!"

Next, the old mage summoned three groups of light, just like what Xia Duo had seen in his dream, gold, silver and red, with gold in the center and silver and red guarding the sides.

It's just that in reality, these three light clusters are suspended above the silver platform, and have a continuous and continuous connection with the silver platform.

Afterwards, the old mage announced the rules, and the rules were that there were no rules. As long as the elf could pull out an elf sword from among the three light groups, he would automatically become the crown king, military commander, or spellcaster leader of the new country.

In addition to the elves who have registered before, other elves present can also participate, but they must be ranked behind the applicants, and only when all applicants fail, other elves can participate.

This also means that as long as the first elf succeeds, the divine sword will belong, and this sword will not accept other testers.

Hearing such a rule, Xia Duo couldn't help frowning. This is not the same as he expected that it may take several rounds of tests before the final winner is selected. This is more like a passing test.

Even if he can get 100 points in the test, as long as Kefum ranks ahead of him and gets 60 points in the test, then nothing will happen to him!
Xia Duo knew that in the history of the main plane, the final winner of the Excalibur trial was Kephm, and on the projection plane, it was difficult for him to guarantee that this scene would not happen again.

"I can only hope that the order of trials is arranged according to the order of registration!"

……

The first thing to do is the trial of the sword of war. If you fail this trial, you will be attacked by the divine sword. As for the strength of the attack, it is unknown.

However, there were not a few applicants for this trial, and it was the most among the three trials. Xia Duo even heard the elves around him start encouraging each other, and they were going to try their luck.

He shook his head secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface. This trial should test the ability of war command or overall planning. If it is not right, then there is a high probability of failure.

The result of the failure of the Excalibur attack is also very interesting. Could it be that those who have no real talents are all killed, and those who have a little talent but do not meet the standard will be eliminated?

If you think about it this way, the result of the failure of the sword of skill is also understandable. Even among the elves, spellcasters are precious, even noble, so they must not be easily killed.

It's just the practice of cutting off the magic net for decades. If it were put on humans, it would be painful, but for the normal life span of hundreds of years for elves, it can be said to be painless.

And the sword of domination is different from the previous two. It is a competition for the future ruler. How can it be done without the courage to fight everything!

But at the same time, if a person with such determination fails, will he not be reconciled?Will it affect the crown king's rule?
Then die!
Xia Duo thought darkly in his heart, and what he could think of, the king of Osens, who created the Excalibur Trial, should also be able to think of it with a high probability.

Maybe that's the truth.

And the so-called true king in the prophecy may really be the opportunity for unification, but the successor of Osens crowned king is unable to achieve this, and may even be unable to continue the rule of Jeronstadt.

It was all arranged.
