The Holy Mountain, also known as Astrakhan, towers into the clouds. Due to the perennial mirage phenomenon, as long as you step onto the sunset prairie and look towards the north, you can see this snow-capped mountain. It is like a mother,
It protects the home of the orcs and, like the ancestral totem, supports the orcs’ faith and hope!
As the flying warship gradually approached the Holy Mountain, its full view slowly appeared in the field of vision of representatives from various countries.
The majestic, spectacular, and lonely aura has made countless people stand in awe!
"Even standing on a battleship under a clear sky, I feel so small!"
Elaine built a pergola with her hands, looked up at the Holy Mountain, and was filled with emotion. Only nature could create such a miraculous creation.
"I'm curious about how that mirage persists?"
Downton was confused. In the world in the dream, he learned that this natural phenomenon was rare and rare, but here, it almost always existed.
"It is precisely because of this unexplainable magic that Astrakhan is called the Holy Mountain and is revered by the beastmen. It is said that Asadin, the king of beasts, has climbed to the top of the mountain and walked through every part of it.
Corner, but still can't crack its mystery."
Ctesiphon stood next to Downton, his face full of pride. This kind of national pride came from the heart, but his more elf-like appearance somewhat ruined this temperament.
"The black tea is ready!"
Juliet came over carrying a wooden tray.
"Thanks!"
Ctesiphon maintained perfect etiquette towards people regardless of their status.
Downton casually took the glass, took a sip, looked at the representatives crowded on the battleship in front, and couldn't help but chuckle. Privilege was indeed everywhere.
Because of reputation, strength, and the free trade zone. Other representatives could only go alone, not even with bodyguards, but Downton could choose his entourage at will, so he brought several girls with him.
You must know that this is a sacred mountain. Except for the annual large-scale festivals, even the orc nobles are not allowed to enter the place casually. Violators will be punished.
After nearly an hour of sailing, the battleship arrived at its destination.
Surrounding the holy mountain, there are many peaks, just like guards surrounding a monarch. Halfway up the mountain, a relatively thick mountain peak was flattened and built into an open-air port.
The battleships lined up in columns and entered the port one by one!
Some representatives who stepped onto the platform had trembling legs and completely knelt on the floor. Because it was so high here, they could reach out and catch the floating clouds in the mountain stream.
"Haha, so beautiful!"
Hu Tao rushed down the deck, jumped a few times, and rushed towards the edge of the platform.
Snapped!
Hutao bumped into the railing and leaned out with most of his body, looking down.
ah!
There were screams everywhere, especially among the representatives. There were several women. They thought the little loli would fall down, so they were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped and they fainted.
"There are so many clouds that I can't even see them!"
Hu Tao glanced around, rolled her big black and white eyes, muttered deliberately, stepped on the railing, and then jumped down with an oops sound.
ah!
This time, even some male representatives fell to the ground in shock. Acrophobia, a psychological defective disease, does not exist just because you are a magic user.
"The altitude here is 12,000 meters. It is the last resting point leading to the summit!"
Tai Xifeng introduced it calmly. He had not forgotten that Little Hutao could perform aerial dance. It would be a fool's errand to throw her to death.
"Wow, so high!"
Elaine covered her mouth and exclaimed, and then there was a louder voice of admiration. Not only her, but others also saw that the nearby mountain peak was hollowed out to create a palace complex. Although it was not grand, you must know that this place
It is 12,000 meters in the air. Just transporting the building materials up is a huge project, and it must consume an astronomical number of gold coins.
"Don't look at the calm here. That's because the protective magic circle has been reinforced. Once you go out, the wind will blow, the temperature will drop sharply, and the air will become very thin. Many powerful people did not listen to the advice, and as a result, they induced altitude sickness and directly
Sudden death on the spot!"
The bunny girl's voice was full of schadenfreude, and she looked around expectantly, hoping that all these representatives would be destroyed.
"Quickly, call the air cavalry and ask them to come out for rescue!"
The orc royal family has sent a shaman group to arrive in advance to avoid emergencies. When the leader saw the little Loli jump, he rushed forward with a shocked face and yelled.
"It's hopeless, it will definitely fall into pieces!"
Just when the priests were looking around, thinking that a diplomatic accident might have occurred, the little Loli opened her hands and stretched them flat on both sides of her body. She spun around and floated like a bamboo dragonfly. The little Loli held her head
Breaking through the flowing clouds, a cheerful cackle echoed among the mountain peaks like a lark.
"Brother, come on, let's go to the peak!"
Hutao couldn't wait any longer.
"She can actually fly?"
The representatives who saw Wu Kongshu for the first time were completely shocked. This kind of martial arts is an epic level, priceless treasure.
"Nonsense, have you paid close attention to Downton's information? He possesses three unparalleled martial arts: Titan Martial Arts, Overlord Kung Fu, and Dark Combat Techniques. They are all epic!"
Baggio is very cunning. He seems to be educating everyone, but in fact he is deliberately exposing his wealth to increase his enemies.
They definitely can't offend Downton and don't dare to think about it, but the rich and powerful are different. They will never think that the family's treasure house is too full, so if they encounter an opportunity, they will definitely be like sharks smelling the smell of blood.
A group of people attacked.
"Hutao, stop making trouble, come down quickly, it's too dangerous!"
Elaine urged, this is the sacred mountain of the orcs, and there must be countless prohibitions and defenses. Once it is touched, it may be attacked.
"Stop running around and be careful to activate the defensive magic circle!"
Ctesiphon's words indeed confirmed Elaine's guess.
"All right!"
Hutao landed on Downton's back, looking at the frightened representatives who turned pale, he laughed happily, "Look, they are a bunch of cowards!"
This is definitely an insult. After all, the people here represent their respective countries. If it is serious, it can cause a war, but if you can be scared to the point of weakness, you are naturally not a representative of a powerful country, so even though they are angry, they are still nothing.
They didn't dare to let go. Some even laughed in agreement.
When representatives go on missions, they represent the face of the country. From the performance of these people, we can actually see the heritage and temperament of a country.
"Please note that hiking to the mountains is not only a reverence for the sacred mountain, but also a test for you."
A young lion tribe man stood in front of the steps leading to the peak, reminding everyone that he had long golden hair. As the breeze blew, his figure was fit and well-tailored, and his well-tailored military uniform showed off his muscles to the fullest.
, the nine medals on his chest are not decorations, but the illustrious military achievements he has personally won over the past few years.
"He is His Highness Richard, who is known as the Lion-Hearted King. How about it? Very cool, isn't it? There are many words on Wucuo Novel Network."
The bunny girl explained to Elaine. But the contempt in her tone was obvious, and there was nothing she could do. Because he was Ctesiphon's competitor, and other princes besides him were of no concern at all.
Elaine had not heard much about Richard's deeds, but seeing how he was not humble and silent in the face of Heinrich, and talked with him on an equal footing, she knew that he was not an ordinary person.
"Then. If there is no doubt, please go up the mountain and take in the scenery at the top of the mountains!"
Richard moved away from the steps and made a gesture of invitation.
The representatives looked left and right, very cautiously. They were all waiting for the first person to climb the mountain, but Xiao Hutao was careless and rushed up at a trot.
"Let's go!"
There was nothing unusual. The little Loli stepped onto the steps with her calves and soon disappeared.
"Haha, please!"
"You're welcome, same as above!"
The two representatives who had a good relationship held hands and stepped onto the steps. The others also had excited expressions. There was no way, this is the sacred mountain of the beast tribe. If there is no opportunity, a human would never be able to get close to it in his life. So after going back, this time
Experience will be a great talking point, enough to attract their attention at high-class banquets. It is unbelievable that some noble ladies will recommend themselves as pillows just to listen to these deeds.
Just as the representatives were talking and gathering towards the steps, screams suddenly came. Everyone looked up and saw the first two representatives falling back with blood on their faces, wiping like gourds on the ground.
It's been a long way.
"This is……"
All the representatives looked at this scene in astonishment and subconsciously stopped.
"Sorry, the Holy Mountain does not accept you two!"
Richard's expression was cold and his tone was hard. The status of the Holy Mountain in the hearts of the orcs was too high. In ordinary times, those who were rejected by it would be the mortal enemies of the orcs.
The two representatives were embarrassed and at a loss.
"I'll try again!"
This behavior was related to the dignity of the country, so the short-haired representative gritted his teeth and stepped onto the steps again. However, as if he was hit by an invisible battering ram, he fell out again spurting blood. This time,
His arm bones were broken.
"For the sake of your own life, I advise you not to try again. Those who have been rejected and continue to climb will be insulted by the spirit of the holy mountain, and the number of counterattacks will increase!"
After Richard finished speaking, he ignored these two miscellaneous fishes and said, "Everyone, please!"
No one dared to move and started to wait and see again.
"A bunch of cowards, they have lost the face of mankind for nothing, get out of here, I'll do it!"
Watson pushed aside the representatives blocking him and went straight up the steps without any reaction. He was promised by the Holy Mountain.
"Huh, Richard, don't underestimate the heroes of mankind!"
Watson stood still, turned around and said something, continued climbing, and soon disappeared.
This kind of naked provocation made the orc representatives very angry, and some of them with hot tempers wanted to take action. However, as Richard pressed down with his left hand, they controlled their emotions.
"please!"
The orc representatives were obviously unconvinced and did not climb the mountain. Instead, they stood on both sides and stared at the humans.
"snort!"
After the human representatives were sure that the orcs were not deliberately pretending to make themselves look bad, they were no longer afraid, especially those who maintained their own strength and stepped onto the steps with their chests held high and their heads held high. (To be continued...)
