Chapter 287 Twelve Trials
The people on the Silver Throne were chatting happily, quickly deciding how to deal with Eric.
"Do players even have human rights?" Eric muttered quietly, standing not far from the golden gate.
But Eric had no choice.
The NPCs before him were the pinnacle powerhouses of Divine Realms: Legends. To them, Eric was nothing more than an ant, and it was already generous of them to even glance at him, let alone discuss matters with him.
At this moment, a young man in a white robe on the Silver Throne teleported right in front of Eric.
Even though he was just standing there without any hostility, the pressure was even more intense than when Eric met the governor of Silvervale City, Wiseman.
This young man in the white robe was Ukarus, the master of Eldoria in the Crystal Palace, whom Eric was looking for.
"Young man, we all know why you are here. Although the seal of the Abyssal Rift Valley has been lifted, it was only a matter of time. After all, no seal is eternal. Everything is powerless before time. Being able to suppress the Abyssal Rift Valley for hundreds of years is already quite an achievement."
"Soon, we will join forces to suppress the Abyssal Rift Valley to prevent the situation from escalating."
"But before we go to suppress it, we need to choose someone to collect the sealing items. This person must be a chosen one, and you happen to be one. So we decided to let you go. However, we need to see your potential first. If you are not up to the task, we will have to find someone else."
The chosen ones referred to by the NPCs are players. In the NPC settings, the chosen ones are considered immortal because even if they die, they can be resurrected, making them the most suitable candidates to collect the sealing items.
"Your trial is the Twelve Trials set by the Crystal Palace since ancient times. As long as you can pass six rounds, you will be considered qualified. Of course, you won't be doing the trials for nothing. If you pass the first round, you will be rewarded with 100 Crystal Palace merit points. For each subsequent round you pass, the merit points will double. You can exchange these merit points for treasures in the Crystal Palace's treasure vault."
"Our Crystal Palace's treasure vault is said to have the most treasures in the entire Divine Realms: Legends. Ordinary Mithril items cost only 200 merit points, Adamantite Artifacts 500 merit points, Obsidian Level items 1500 merit points, Epic Level items 4000 merit points, and fragments of Legendary items 15000 merit points. As for Legend Level items, they cost 60000 merit points."
"If your strength is sufficient, you can even exchange for Holy Relics, but that requires 200,000 merit points."
Ukarus explained with a smile, and Eric was thrilled.
One has to admit that the Legend Level main quest is indeed powerful.
Eric had seen the highest quality items up to the Legend Level, and he had only heard of Holy Relics, never seen them in person. Now, having the chance to see Holy Relics was already a significant gain.
Because Eric was self-aware, even Legendary items were a luxury for him, let alone Holy Relics. He didn't dare to think about it; just seeing them would be satisfying.
While Eric was daydreaming about the appearance of Holy Relics, Ukarus began chanting a spell, drawing complex and profound divine symbols with his fingers.
As Ukarus finished chanting, a golden gate emerged, adorned with twelve pictures, each depicting a brutal battle. When the gate opened with a roar, it emitted an ancient and violent aura, as if a primordial beast resided within.
"Young man, inside is the Twelve Trials. Go ahead," Ukarus said, pointing to the golden gate.
Eric nodded and walked step by step into the depths of the gate, vanishing into the Throne of Immortality.
"This little guy is quite brave. That's the most brutal Twelve Trials of the Crystal Palace."
"But Ukarus, you're really a bad guy, tempting that poor little guy with such rich rewards without mentioning the death penalties."
"The merit points for Holy Relics, I've saved up my whole life and still haven't accumulated enough. You really dare to say that. To get Holy Relics, you need to pass at least the eleventh trial. But since the establishment of the Crystal Palace, only one person has ever passed the eleventh trial, and that person was a great deity who saved the entire continent."
"I've read quite a bit about the history of the Twelve Trials. According to historical records, most people who participated in the trials only passed three or four rounds. Those who could pass the sixth round were extremely rare. Ukarus, your requirement is really high."
"Gathering the seven treasures is a significant matter. Without sufficient strength, how can one gather them? Besides, we don't have the resources to waste our power on a weak ant."
While the people on the Silver Throne were discussing, one of the nine people sitting on the Golden Throne, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
"Let's settle this matter as Ukarus said. The old monsters in the Abyssal Rift Valley are all restless. We can't waste everyone's power on a weakling. If he can pass the sixth trial, I will also help him."
"Yes, we will follow the elder's instructions."
The people on the Silver Throne were surprised to hear the elder on the Golden Throne speak.
They didn't expect the elder to take action, which was a rare and fortunate event.
Then Ukarus waved his hand, and a water screen appeared in mid-air in the Throne of Immortality, showing the scene of Eric facing the first trial.
Eric was on the top of a cliff. Apart from a flat area with a radius of over a hundred yards, there were cliffs all around. The wind was extremely strong, and a slight misstep could blow him into the abyss.
Eric stood quietly on the stone-paved ground and immediately realized that apart from his weapon and equipment, he couldn't use any other auxiliary items.
His usual combat tool, the Frostbite Grenade, could only lie quietly in his backpack. The prepared magic scrolls were also unusable, and even the Restorative potion was the same. This significantly reduced Eric's field combat strength.
"It seems they want to test my pure combat power. I wonder who my opponent is?" Eric looked around and found no monsters, feeling puzzled. "Could the monster be invisible?"
Thinking of this, Eric heightened his senses to the maximum.
Invisible monsters were not uncommon. Powerful monsters could even teleport multiple times in succession, which was truly formidable.
In the Throne of Immortality, the big shots of Divine Realms: Legends were also very interested in this trial.
After all, the Twelve Trials hadn't been opened for a thousand years. The people on the Silver Throne hadn't lived that long, so they were naturally curious about the Twelve Trials.
"I wonder who the opponent in the first trial is?"
"There's no historical record of it, but it's said that the creatures in the Twelve Trials are ancient beasts, very fierce. But this is the first trial, and the little guy isn't even a first-tier Swordsman. The monster's strength should barely be at the first-tier level."
"Look, something is flying over."
