Chapter 504: Success and Failure
Chapter 504: Success and Failure
Yesterday, a group of people built a courtyard in the mountains as a temporary place to stay.
The courtyard is surrounded by towering rock pillars, which are higher than the courtyard. Dark green fire balls are floating on the top of the pillars, emitting a pale green light that illuminates the entire courtyard.
Barren mountains, wild houses, green fire.
It fits perfectly in this dim underground.
To be honest, the light has been on here for such a long time, and it's quite late for someone to come here.
"Who are you, the white-faced man? How dare you come to my tribe's rock mining site and act so recklessly!"
Four Shiwei tribe warriors secretly climbed over the wall and broke into the courtyard. When they stood still and looked around, they saw several white-faced men sitting in the hall, staring at them with wide eyes.
Seeing this scene, one of the soldiers started shouting first.
This voice was powerful, however, before he could be happy, he was slapped by his family leader, Finn, on the back of his head. The slap was equally loud.
"What are you talking about? Look carefully, that is Wizard Ivan, a distinguished guest of my Stonetail tribe." Finn scolded, and he turned around and greeted Ivan:
"Wizard Ivan, I guess it's you. I haven't seen you for many years. Welcome to the Far West again."
"Well, long time no see. Sorry to bother you again." Ivan stood up and responded.
He and the Shiwei tribe had never had any enmity, and this was indeed the Shiwei tribe's territory, so there was no need to create unpleasantness.
"Mr. Ze Yi is not here?" Finn looked around but did not see the familiar figure, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Chief Finn, you are still thinking about making the marsh ant the stone spirit of your tribe." Seeing his look, Ivan smiled faintly.
"Of course." Finn did not hide his thoughts. He then ordered the people around him, "You go back first. Also, have everyone outside evacuate. Tell Bal that Wizard Ivan is here."
The other three soldiers were somewhat reluctant and were driven away by him with a tough attitude.
It can be seen that after these years of development, the Stonetail tribe has become much stronger, with several more level 3 warriors. As the head of the tribe, Finn's power has also grown significantly.
Ivan could also see that Finn didn't seem to want to reminisce with him at this moment.
"Chief Finn, feel free to say whatever you want to say." Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ivan said straightforwardly.
"Wizard Ivan, I have an unreasonable request. I don't know, I don't know--"
The Stone Tribe looks somewhat similar to humans, except that their skin is very rough, stone-like in texture, their complexion is yellow, and they are tall and strong, so they can be described as "big guys" per capita.
It's hard for a big guy like Finn to act so timid.
"Just tell me, I'm listening."
"Can I compete with you again?"
"No."
Finn proposed a fight, but it was Bal who objected. As soon as he arrived, he saw this scene and subconsciously spoke up to stop it.
Baal is considered the think tank of the Shiwei tribe.
"Bar, why not?" Finn asked puzzled.
"Wizard Ivan has come from afar and is an honored guest of our clan. How could you, clan leader, fight with a guest?" Bal couldn't say that he didn't think highly of his own clan leader, so after thinking about it, he gave another answer.
"Why not? It's happened before," Finn said.
"Uh—" Bar was speechless.
Finn looked at Ivan again, his desire to fight was extremely strong.
Bal couldn't stop him anymore and could only let his family leader do whatever he wanted, hoping that he wouldn't lose too badly.
"I'll do it myself." Ivan reached out to stop Jenny from moving.
"Let me do it." Jenny said.
"You don't understand, take a rest." Ivan shook his head.
It wasn't that he had to teach Finn a lesson himself, but once Jenny took action and people noticed something, Finn and Jenny would probably create trouble and try to invite Jenny to become the stone spirit of the tribe, and they might even pester him.
The less trouble, the better.
Based on this, he decided to do it himself.
The group arrived outside the courtyard one after another, standing at a distance from each other.
Ivan and Finn stood facing each other. Finn had turned into a stone statue, and the layer outside him was the giant stone armored soldiers of the Stone Clan. The man and the giant stone armored soldiers lived in harmony.
"Wizard Ivan, please fight me with all your strength."
Finn shouted loudly, and as he spoke he quickly grew taller and bigger, and in an instant he turned into a rock giant that was fifteen or sixteen meters tall. Behind the giant there was a long tail that penetrated into the ground, and the nearby ground was rippling like water.
Then, a long-handled stone hammer appeared in the giant's hand, and his brutal momentum was like a rainbow.
"This guy has no idea who's doing what's real." Hearing this, Hotes, who was watching the fight, felt bored. Once Ivan went all out, the fight would be over in an instant. He actually thought they could fight for a few more rounds.
When Ivan heard what was said on the other side, he was touched by Finn's sincerity and decided to fulfill his wish.
The next second, the black devil's hand reappeared.
The giant flaming palm is dark red in color overall, with black, green, orange and white lights lingering around it, and all the lights are integrated as one.
When Finn took just one and a half steps, the giant flaming palm accelerated to his front.
Finn immediately felt something was wrong, but he was blocked by an unknown force around him, leaving him with no way to escape and could only respond hastily.
With a loud bang, the long-handled stone nail hammer in the rock giant's hand shattered immediately, and then the huge body flew backwards and landed with another loud bang.
The gap in strength between the two sides is obvious at a glance.
Seeing this, Bal hurriedly ran towards where the patriarch fell.
After a while, Bal came over, supporting Finn who was limping, with gray blood dripping from Finn's body.
"Wizard Ivan, thank you for showing mercy." Finn was not a person who could not afford to lose. Even after being slapped away, he did not act dejected.
"You go back and rest first, we'll talk again when we have time another day." Ivan nodded.
He really didn't use his full strength, for fear of crippling or killing Finn. There was no need to hide this fact, otherwise, he had plenty of ways to make the other party fall down and never get up again.
After all, he is about to become an arcane wizard, and his strength is certainly not comparable to that of an ordinary third-level creature.
"it is good."
Finn and Bal left quickly.
If Ivan hadn't called them, they probably wouldn't have come here again.
Ivan and his companions returned to the courtyard and continued to wait in the open hall.
"After the battle, isn't it time to have a drink, Wizard Ivan?" asked Hotes, but his eyes fell on Jenny, the saint of the night elves.
He still remembered clearly that Ivan was the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Night Elves. It was really unexpected.
"Jenny, did you bring the royal wine of the Comor Empire?" Ivan knew what he was thinking.
"Before I left, I asked Great Lady Lulucia for some." He asked for it, and Jenny would naturally not refuse to give it to him. These thousand-year-old wines were originally taken for him.
Since there were outsiders around, Jenny took out a few bottles, which made Ivan laugh secretly.
Hotes thought it was too little and winked at him, but Ivan ignored him.
"A small victory is only worth a small drink, yes or no?"
"It's a pity that the stone barbarian is so talkative. Why is he so arrogant? He has no self-awareness at all."
Seeing that he was not giving up, Ivan made up an excuse. Hotes could not find an excuse to refute, so he could only sip his wine while muttering about Finn.
He kept sighing in his heart, this was indeed a thousand-year-old wine from the Night Elf Royal Court, its taste was extraordinary.
Time passes quickly while waiting.
Just over three months later, movement was heard again in the mountain courtyard.
At a certain moment, the light and shadow in the air were particularly shining, and a gorgeous sacred mountain was clearly reflected, floating in the air, with fragrant mist and flying clouds lingering above the sacred mountain.
"Is that the Seven Mountains you mentioned?"
"Yes."
Several people immediately came to the outside of the courtyard, their eyes fixed on the sacred mountain.
In Ivan's eyes, what stood on the top of the sacred mountain were no longer statues, but seven tall knights with four wings and eight arms. They were looking at him through layers of space, smiling at him, as if saying hello.
Ivan quickly responded with a knight's salute.
As time passed, the colorful light on the sacred mountain became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, the knight standing on the top of the mountain merged into the light, followed by the Seven Sacred Mountains themselves.
The knight's figure disappeared, and the sacred mountain disappeared with it.
The light disappeared, and the entire land of inheritance turned into nothingness, leaving only three figures falling from mid-air.
One person was in high spirits, while two others were unhappy.
The result is also obvious.
