Chapter 177 The Inheritance Trial of the Dark Dragon Knight

[You step forward and read line by line...]

[This is an epic era with numerous heroes! 】

[The evil gods from the stars are invading our beautiful homeland. Countless knowledgeable people follow the great "Almighty True Knowledge" to jointly resist the enemies from the stars. 】

[Relying on their own knowledge, scholars fight on the front line against the stars and become immortal heroes worthy of being recorded in history. 】

[Since I was a child, I have determined to become a learned man and follow the true God to fight and defend my homeland. If I could be remembered by history like those great heroes, what a supreme honor it would be! 】

[With the expectation of my parents, I joined the Knowledge Academy and studied hard. 】

[In order to become a hero, I have to work countless times harder than ordinary people. In every sleepless night, in every tired and hungry moment, what insists me to continue to acquire knowledge is that rock-firm belief! 】

[But things are impermanent... Great 'Almighty True Knowledge', please forgive my stupidity. Even though I work so hard, I am still one of the laggards among my peers. 】

[My tutor at the college advised me that not everyone can receive the blessing of knowledge. I should give up my studies and go elsewhere to contribute my faith in the true God... What is missing in the war to defend our homeland is not just the scholars who are fighting on the front line. 】

[My tutor helped me contact the Logistics College, hoping that I could make available the limited seats in the Knowledge College so that other talented peers could enter the college to study. 】

[Reason tells me that I really have to follow my mentor's advice...but I am not willing to do so! 】

【How can I be willing to do this? The belief that I always held on to was ruthlessly destroyed. Countless days and nights of hard work and sweat were wasted. I...how can I be willing to...]

[I tried hard to argue with my tutor, trying to stay in the academy, but every time I failed...]

[Until news of the death of his parents came from the war front... Also, how could he survive being recruited into the Oath Corps? 】

[My mentor no longer dissuades me as an orphan of devotees. 】

[But somehow, I suddenly lost all motivation. 】

[I no longer study hard day and night, and the books I once cherished are abandoned in corners, covered with thick dust. 】

【……】

[I took the initiative to ask my instructor to join the Logistics College. The instructor was right. I should give up my place in the college. 】

[For a stupid person like me, joining the Logistics College to be a transporter is worthy of my strong body. This can be regarded as making the best use of it. 】

[The procedure for transferring from the college went smoothly, and I received the official written document the day after I made the request. 】

[That night, I was relieved and finally had the most solid sleep I had had in years. 】

[Perhaps I had known for a long time that I could not become a scholar, but my unwillingness to admit defeat made me grit my teeth and persevere, hoping to realize the absurd dream that could never be realized. 】

[In the dream that night, I became the greatest hero. In the war with the evil god, I made great achievements. People in my hometown extol my deeds, and epic songs chant my name... What a ridiculous dream! 】

[In the dream, I am different from other heroes. I am not a scholar who uses rings, books or staffs; I am a powerful warrior like a giant holding a spear, wearing armor, riding a terrifying creature, soaring in the sky... It is really ridiculous. Extremely! 】

[When I woke up from the dream, I vaguely heard an old and kind voice...]

[The voice told me that my piety moved the true God. If I still insist on my desire to dedicate everything to the true god, then I will go to the Bamogo Mountains to find the legendary black ancient dragon that has long been extinct. 】

[When I can get Gu Long's approval, I can realize that dream that is not absurd at all. 】

[In a trance, I saw an old man with white hair wearing a white robe. He stood in the magnificent temple built with pure white characters, looking at me kindly...]

【……】

【……】

[The rest of the text on the huge stone tablet has been eroded by time and blurred, making it difficult to read. 】

? ? ?

Lin Xun, who was looking very excited, seemed to have suddenly become weak in the middle of his hard work.

I just felt like there were ants crawling all over my body.

"In the game of the underworld, if you are so out of context, you will be sent a razor blade!"

Lin Xun gritted his teeth and cursed loudly.

Although the stone tablet has no following text, just like the unscrupulous author eunuch, he can still roughly guess the subsequent deeds.

The white-haired old man mentioned in the stone inscription should be the 'Servant of the God of Knowledge'.

Under the guidance of the 'Servant of the God of Knowledge', the protagonist went through many difficulties and dangers, overcame ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, successfully found the 'Black Ancient Dragon' and became the 'Dark Black Dragon Knight'.

In the end, he fought in all directions for the "Almighty True Knowledge", made countless contributions, and succeeded in realizing his dream.

"No, if the dream came true, how could he die here, in the dark depths of the earth?"

Lin Xun frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

According to the text, the ‘Dark Dragon of the Ancient Hermit’ was chained here, and its owner also turned into withered bones here.

Lin Xun could not guess the ending of the story based only on the words on the stone tablet.

[You carefully observe the stone tablet from top to bottom, and only at the very bottom of the stone tablet can you see a few lines of legible text. 】

[You squat down to check...]

[Later, if you were once as stupid as me, with a strong body, but unable to become a scholar; if you also have a rock-like will, unwavering and unshakable, please touch the stone tablet. 】

[By passing my test of leaving behind, you will be able to accept my inheritance. 】

[When you become a being comparable to gods, please remember to avenge me...]

[You have read all the text that can be read on the stone tablet. 】

[Do you want to touch the stone tablet and start the trial of the 'Dark Dragon Knight'? 】

Accept the inheritance of the Dragon Knight?

"Does it mean that if you pass the trial, you can become a dragon knight and be rewarded with a giant dragon?"

Next to him is the 'Ancient Hermit Dark Dragon', which should be the 'Black Ancient Dragon' mentioned in the stone tablet.

Lin Xun's imagination opened up, thinking that after he passed the trial, the ancient dragon with only the skeleton would be resurrected, and he would become an undead dragon knight, or a bone dragon knight.

He carefully read the text on the stone tablet.

There are two prerequisites for starting the trial. In short, one is a simple mind and well-developed limbs; the other is a firm will and perseverance.

He speculated that the content of the trial may also be related to two prerequisites.

Those who do not meet the conditions may not be able to pass the trial.

The master's body obviously does not meet the requirements, but the earth giant meets the requirements of well-developed limbs. As for whether the will is strong or not, it depends on the user of the body.

Lin Xun was very determined. When faced with pop-up risk warnings countless times, he chose to close (jian) and close (chi) the web (fang) and the page (wen) without hesitation.

It is very consistent with the strong will mentioned in the prerequisite.

"Isn't it just a trial? Just give it a try!"

[You reach out and touch the huge stone monument...]

[You tense up all over, fully prepared for the upcoming trial. 】

【……】

[After a long time, nothing unusual happened. 】

[You look at the stone tablet in confusion and try to touch it again, but you still don’t see the so-called trial coming. 】

[Just when you think that after so many years, the power of the trial on the stone tablet has been worn away...]

[An inexplicable sleepiness slowly creeps into your brain. You try your best to open your eyes, but you can only be dragged into an unknown dreamland...]

[You have entered the ‘remaining illusion of knowledge’...]

【……】

[Your ears are filled with countless shouts and howls, the sound of weapons cutting into hard carapace, and the sound of jointed limbs piercing armor are endless. 】

[You slowly open your eyes, and in front of you is a scene of countless humans and terrifying creatures fighting. 】

[Those creatures covered with hard carapace are the star monsters you are familiar with. 】

[The desolate battlefield is littered with countless corpses, some of which are star monsters, but most of them are of your kind. 】

[You look into the sky. Countless flying giant monsters are fighting with tiny people. The pure white characters are shining brightly. From time to time, blood is spilled and corpses fall. 】

[You notice that there is a terrifying and ferocious shadow hovering in the sky, constantly spitting out dark flames. The star monsters are corroded and dissolved under the dark breath without any resistance, and then fall...]

[If you look closely, that terrifying and ferocious shadow turns out to be a living black dragon! 】

[While the dragon is circling, you can vaguely see a figure holding a giant spear on the dragon's back. 】

[This giant dragon is not as huge as the skeleton of the ‘Ancient Hermit Dark Dragon’ that you saw before. Compared to the giant thing you saw, it is just a child. 】

[Wherever the giant dragon and dragon knight went, star monsters fell one after another, and there was no one enemy! 】

[But compared to the boundless bloody front, the dead and wounded star monsters are just a drop in the ocean. No matter how powerful the Dragon Knight is, they cannot influence the situation on the battlefield. 】

[Suddenly, a terrifying star monster rushes into the surrounding layers of soldiers and waves its claws at you! 】

[You draw out the ‘Ancient Dragon Fang Giant Stick’ and smash the monster in front of you into a pulp with one stick. 】

[You defeated the ‘unknown star creature’, but you did not gain any experience points. 】

[A soldier in armor quickly rushed to your side, knelt down to salute, and apologized loudly to you. It was his incompetence that allowed the Evil God's Familia to endanger your safety...]

[You wave your hand and drive him to the front line to fight. 】

[You look at the fiercest part of the battle line from a distance, and you see that both the scholars in the sky and the ordinary soldiers fighting on the ground can only retreat steadily when facing the endless star monsters...]

[Suddenly, a long horn sound came to my ears, and the horn sounded three times in a row. 】

[You frowned, a bad premonition gradually developed...]

[The same soldier, his armor stained with blood, comes to you with a cross sword, and reminds you with despair on his face that the front line has been lost, and the scholars are about to retreat from the battlefield. Sir, as the commander of the Oath Legion, you should lead by example and lead the soldiers to cut off the scholars. 】

[You look into the sky. Sure enough, those tiny people have started to fight and retreat, no longer facing the monsters head-on. 】

[Only the ferocious shadow soaring in the sky still refuses to retreat and is still fighting at the most intense point of the battle! 】

[Brave and courageous apostle, what should you do? 】

[1. Rolling his eyes and shaking his head, "Why do we have to cut off the queen?" Come, I'll take you away! ’ Order the soldiers in the legion to flee the battlefield with you and save the fire for the continuation of mankind. 】

【2. He curled his lips in anger, ‘You are the only one who talks too much! If you haven’t gone to the front lines to fight bloody battles, why are you here to remind me? ’ Order the soldiers in the legion to charge, while you quietly escape from the battlefield alone. 】

[3. Bravely and loudly roaring ‘Brothers, charge with me! Kill those alien species! ’ He took the lead and rushed into the battle line to fight with all his strength, and ordered the entire army to attack to cut off the retreat for the scholars. 】

Normally, Lin Xun would definitely choose the second option.

In the underworld game, save your life first, Gou has no shame.

But at this time, he was in the 'remaining illusion of knowledge' and in the trial of the 'Dark Dragon Knight'.

Of course choose the most heroic option.

Otherwise, while the dragon knight is still fighting in the sky, he will run away first, and he will definitely be eliminated by the trial.

He pressed the third option without hesitation and charged forward.

[You draw out the ‘Ancient Dragon Fang Giant Club’ and let out a shocking roar that resounds across the battlefield! 】

[You rushed to the front line resolutely. Countless soldiers responded to your call, roared loudly, drew their swords and rushed into the battle formation! 】

[The scholars in the air, as if they had received the order, immediately evacuated to the rear of the battlefield...]

[The densely packed giant crossbows were launched in the legion. After the scholars evacuated, the crossbow arrows were shot out as densely as locusts crossing the border. 】

[The monsters chasing the erudite were killed and injured in large numbers under the rain of arrows. They were shot intensively. It was not only the star monsters that died, but also a few erudite who had not yet been evacuated, and large swaths of legionnaires. 】

[Amidst the rain of arrows, the star monsters had to temporarily give up chasing the scholar and instead attack the ballista surrounded by the legion. 】

[You didn’t care about those ballistae. You knew very well in your heart that the moment the ballistae was revealed, the ballistae and the soldiers operating the ballistae would all fall under the claws of the star monsters. 】

[This death is not just for those soldiers, sacrifice is also your destination! 】

[You drag the ‘Ancient Dragon Fang Giant Stick’ and rush to the deepest part of the meat grinder-like battle. 】

[Facing the sea of ​​monsters like a tidal wave, you roar, wave your weapon and start fighting...]

[You defeated the ‘unknown star creature’, but you did not gain any experience points. 】

[You defeated the ‘unknown star creature’…]

【You defeated...】

【……】

【……】

[Your vision gradually turns red, and the 'Dragon Knight's regenerated scales' on your body have blocked you from several fatal attacks. 】

[Gradually, the recovery speed of the scales can no longer keep up with the number of times it is torn apart by monsters. 】

[You can no longer tell whether the blood stained on the scales is yours or that of the star monsters. 】

【You feel a little tired! 】

[Suddenly, a sharp claw attacks you again. In a daze, your sore arms fail to block the attack. 】

[A figure stands in front of you, mercilessly penetrated by sharp claws. 】

[You wiped the blood on your forehead and saw clearly that the figure was the soldier who reminded you before. 】

[Blood foam overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he confided to you in a low voice, Legion Commander, you must hold on until the last moment. May the 'Almighty True Knowledge' be with you...]

[After speaking, he lowered his head unable to do anything. 】

[With an expressionless face, you clenched the giant stick in your hand and smashed the monster in front of you into a pulp. 】

[You look at the endless sea of ​​monsters, take a deep breath, and charge forward again! 】

I was convinced by the censorship. I was not censored when I was driving. I was called vulgar and pornographic when I was not driving... The chapter from last night cannot be released until now.
