Chapter 503 Three Successors
Chapter 503 Three Inheritors
The inheritance left by the Star Ancestor of Justice is located on the top of the Seven Gods Mountain. The best time to climb the Seven Gods Mountain is the Day of the Stars, which is the day when the light emitted by the long river of the star realm shines on the world of Danara.
Days like this are not common, sometimes they only occur once in half a year or even a year.
Ivan had no knowledge of astrology and was unable to calculate the specific circumstances of the star day.
The same was true for Hortez and Grace, but Tanya clearly understood, and she learned everything quickly and had an extremely broad knowledge base.
After she calculated and determined the specific time, they stayed in Dongdu for more than three months before setting out again to the underground world.
On the way, when they went down to the underground magma layer, because Ivan was targeted by a lord, they encountered the Lava Lord as expected.
At the critical moment, Hotes took action.
As an arcane wizard, although he is usually not very serious, he is very fierce when facing the Lava Lord, showing the extraordinary combat power of an arcane wizard, and did not even ask Grace for assistance.
With Hotes's powerful hand, the group broke through the Lava Lord's obstruction and easily entered the first level of the underground world.
Then he rushed to the Far West and successfully reunited with Jenny.
"Tanya, you have a good grasp of astrology. The light of the starry sky has become active." Just a few hours after the reunion, Ivan sensed something and exclaimed in admiration.
"nothing."
Tanya smiled calmly.
She didn't tell Ivan that, in fact, she estimated the specific time to be two days later, not today. Fortunately, the time was just right and she didn't miss the best opportunity for inheritance, otherwise she would have to wait until the next star day.
"Ivan, do we really only have two chances left to inherit the legacy?"
As the time was approaching, Morris on the side couldn't help but ask.
"It's at most twice, at least once." Ivan pointed out the mistake in his words, and then said in a deep voice to the three people who were about to receive the inheritance:
"I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can truly obtain the inheritance depends on you."
"There will be two difficult hurdles in the inheritance land. The first is to climb the Seven Gods Mountain, and the second is to comprehend the true meaning from the inheritance statue. You will all enter together later and obtain the inheritance based on your own abilities."
"Let me be frank with you. I hope you won't resort to any tricks. Besides, this is not in line with the way of chivalry."
In addition to Tanya, Morris, and Angela, there are also people participating in the inheritance assessment.
A few years ago, when Ivan left Dongdu for Berta Blood Plain, Angela was already a Level 3 Flying Knight. A few years later, she had reached the pinnacle of Flying Knight and was also suitable to receive the inheritance of the Justice Star Ancestor.
Angela is Ivan's woman, so he naturally would not ignore his own people and brought Angela with him this time.
Just as what he said meant, not everyone can succeed in inheriting the Justice Star Ancestor's legacy. Having only three people to take the test is not a lot, and it may even lower the success rate.
"How could that be possible? We are all family, we will definitely not play any mean tricks." Morris said hurriedly.
Tanya and Angela nodded in agreement.
"Ivan, tell us more about the situation at the Seven Sacred Mountains, so that we can have a better chance of winning." Morris then said. To put it bluntly, he just didn't have a clear idea.
Seeing that all three of them were looking at him, Ivan had no choice but to briefly reiterate:
“Originally, there were seven heritage statues on the Seven Gods Mountain, representing humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, integrity, sacrifice, and honor. Now there is only one left, which corresponds to the light of sacrifice in the way of knights.
If you want to comprehend the light of sacrifice from this, it is very simple. You just need to have the will to sacrifice, a fearless spirit, and be consistent inside and out—"
He did not say that he did not actually experience any "fearlessness" spirit.
He was able to obtain the inheritance in the end only because of his cleverness and unique approach at the time, in which he found a way of sacrifice that suited his own taste: sacrificing himself for himself.
The opportunity to inherit can be given, but the unique path that you have comprehended yourself should never be given away lightly.
This is the same as the path to advancement to Arcane Mage. Everyone has his own path and his own exclusive way, and you must not rely on others.
"Fearlessness - this is too difficult." Morris lamented after listening to his statement.
Unlike Morris, both Tanya and Angela acted determined to win, which formed a sharp contrast between the two.
Tanya has no way to retreat, this time she will fight to the death.
Angela was born into a family of Centaurs. She had been baptized with all kinds of knightly knowledge since she was a child, and her heart had always been sincere to the way of knights.
Both of them possess the will of a knight, which exactly meets the basic requirements of the inheritance of the Star of Justice.
However, Ivan is more optimistic about Tanya, followed by Angela, and finally Morris.
In the far west, time passes by every second.
Until dawn the next day, an unusual light and shadow appeared in front of the place where the group was waiting. The light and shadow were colorful and reflected the steps of the sacred mountain.
"Go ahead, and good luck to you."
Seeing this, Ivan immediately threw out a black crown, and the black crown mixed with fighting spirit fell into the light and shadow.
The black crown of the former Tide Empire came in handy again. In a moment, a small golden door appeared where the light and shadow were. The black crown fell on the door and turned into a clear pattern.
The golden door slowly opened.
"I, Angela, will return with the glory of a knight."
"Ah."
"I'm going to take a gamble."
The three of them did not dare to delay, with Angela taking the lead, they quickly rushed into the golden gate in mid-air and their figures disappeared into it.
In fact, there is a golden door waiting for the three of them ahead. It is the blocking force left by the ancestors of the Centaurs. It requires the royal blood of the Centaurs to open it. This is why Angela is walking in the front.
After the three entered the land of inheritance, Ivan and four others were the only ones left in the rock mining site abandoned by the Shiwei tribe.
This time when they came to the underground world, they did not bring anyone who was not related to the inheritance, including Mara, who was inseparable from Tanya.
"Ivan, according to the normal process, how long does it take to receive the inheritance?" Hotes couldn't help but ask.
"There is no normal process. Either success or failure can be considered the end. Once it's over, you should be able to get out. It took me more than four months last time." Ivan answered casually.
"That means we need to wait here for about four months."
"That's about right. If you get bored here, why not go for a walk around the area? This is within the territory of the Hammerstone Empire. You can go talk to the Stone Tribe."
"Stone Tribe, forget it."
Hotes was somewhat tempted, but ultimately rejected Ivan's kindness.
He had promised the King of the Sky that he would always protect Ivan's safety, and one should not go back on one's word.
Ivan was just saying it casually. Since he didn't want to, I didn't try to persuade him any further.
Compared to the surface, the number of creatures in the underground world is undoubtedly much smaller, especially insects. Therefore, you can hardly hear the sound of insects in the wilderness, making the surroundings very quiet.
But the quiet atmosphere didn't last for a while, and then the sound of footsteps, which were thought to be very hidden, were heard.
The sound moves from far to near.
Someone came and went straight to where they were. Seeing this, Hotes' face brightened.
