Chapter 200

In the northeast of the ancient Kalimdor continent, there is an endless mountain range. In this mountain range, the highest peak is called Mount Hyjal.

This is the place where the Titan Guardian Freya's favorite wilderness spirits play, and therefore it has become a holy mountain.

Now, the successor to the throne of the Zandalari Empire will climb this peak to reach the summit, to draw the ax of imperial power from the rock on the top of the mountain.

Under the twilight of the setting sun, Ailon climbed the mountain together with the other lucky eleven testers, conducting their final trials.

Step by step, step by step.

Although his body was extremely exhausted, Aaron's mind and spirit felt unprecedentedly sober at this moment. He could feel the cool mountain breeze blowing over his body, taking away the sweltering feeling of the day; Feel the setting sun, shining the last warm afterglow on this land.

The exhaustion and soreness from his body always reminded Aaron that he had reached his limit at this moment, and it was time for him to rest.

Looking up to the top of the head, there is indeed a raised flat rock platform that can be used as a temporary resting place, and some former practitioners who moved faster have already arrived here and rested here.

But Aaron didn't choose to stop.

Can't stop, the more this time, the more he can't stop, he must have reached the top of the mountain, must reach that place!

Forward, forward, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how exhausted his body and spirit are at this time, he must continue to climb up.

"Hey, Boy Aaron, don't you want to take a break?"

One of the testers who arrived here first saw Ailon and greeted him warmly.

"No."

Aaron's physical strength left him with no extra strength to say anything. He was very aware of his situation. Once he chose to rest at this moment, he would not be able to get up and continue climbing until dawn.

Now the only thing supporting him is the breath in his chest.

He had to climb the mountain above his head before his breath was consumed.

In the palace of Zulsa, the imperial capital, Dasa's figure suddenly walked out of his bedroom. His sudden appearance disturbed the quiet palace.

Has His Majesty recovered suddenly?

The good news spread throughout the palace because Dasa could get out of bed and walk on his own, and such good news even spread outside the palace very quickly.

"Your Majesty! Is your body recovering?"

Comanche, the head of the Imperial City Garrison Corps, immediately came to the office hall where Dasa used to be after hearing the news. Not surprisingly, he saw him sitting on the emperor's throne flipping through some recent scrolls of official documents and reports. Dasa.

"Oh, Comanche. It's just in time for you to come, come and sit."

Daza's haggard face looked a little rosy under the setting sun at this moment, and his eyes seemed to have regained their former sharpness at this moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Dasa didn't answer his question, Comanche sat on the soft cushions neatly arranged on both sides of the hall without asking too much, and then stared at Daza who was sitting on the emperor's throne.

He soon discovered that Dasa's state was abnormal at the moment.

"Your Majesty, you should rest in the bedroom at this time, not come here."

After hearing the news that Dasa's illness had recovered, Nuo Si hurried to the main hall and saw Dasa sitting on the emperor's throne just like before.

"I know what's going on with me, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here."

Daza raised his eyelids, and glanced at Nuo Si who was standing in the hall in front of his seat, his voice was very stiff.

Comanche also noticed Dasa's tone. He put one hand on the sword at his waist, and looked at North who was standing opposite him with unfriendly eyes.

During this period of time, the conflict between him and North became more and more intensified. No matter how slow Comanche was, he could clearly feel the terrible ambition of the woman opposite him.

He believes that if this kind of guy continues to let go, it will inevitably endanger the safety of the entire empire in the future.

However, the emperor was critically ill, and all the power in the court was controlled by this woman. He had no chance at all, but now he just waited for His Majesty's order to take down this dangerous woman.

North didn't have the slightest intention to talk to Comanche. This paladin-born guy didn't deserve her attention at all. At the moment, all her attention was focused on the trial far away on Mount Hyjal.

As long as her son Ailon can successfully touch the ax of imperial power, she is sure to push this child to the throne firmly.

But Dasa, who seems to have suddenly returned to normal, caused some disturbances in her plan, which naturally gave her a reason to come to see Dasa.

She hadn't noticed it when she entered the temple, but now after a period of observation, she finally discovered how strange Dasa's state is at the moment.

The other party is not physically healed, but has entered the stage of returning to the light.

From now on, his life has really entered the countdown stage, and he definitely won't survive tonight.

After Nuo Si discovered this, the smile on her face became more and more obvious, and her gaze towards Dasa was not so threatening, but as if she was looking at a corpse.

"Your Majesty, are you concerned about the trial ahead? We have entered the last trial now, and the last fourteen trial participants are challenging the No. 12 trial item."

"Really? That's really good. It seems that there are still a lot of talents in the empire."

Dasa's gaze was on a scroll in front of him at the moment, and he didn't pay much attention to Nuo Si.

"Your Majesty, although your health seems to be getting better at the moment, I still think you should go back to the bedroom to rest instead of staying here."

North looked at Daza and said her suggestion.

"Where Your Majesty wants to go, it's not your turn to dictate."

Comanche stood up from the cushion, and angrily reprimanded North's presumptuous words with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, it's better to go back to the bedroom to rest earlier."

North didn't mean to talk to Comanche at all, as long as his son Aaron succeeded to the throne, it would be better for this upright guy to throw him out of the imperial capital as soon as possible.

It would be good to let him go to the far north and guard the border there.

"Noth, inform the Zanchuli Council that the handover ceremony is about to begin. The location will be changed, and it will be at the gate of the Zulsa Palace."

Dasa said and closed the scroll in his hand, and looked at North with an unquestionable expression.

"Yes."

Seeing Dasa's resolute statement, Nuo Si couldn't refute it and left the hall after taking the order.

Just after she left, Comanche looked at Daza and impeached North.

"I know this woman's ambition, and I know your worries, because I am the same."

"In that case, why doesn't His Majesty get rid of her?"

After listening to Daza's words, Comanche felt a little puzzled.

"She is the last test I leave to my successor. Only by overthrowing this woman can I truly become a qualified emperor, not a puppet."

As Daza said, he stretched his hand to his waist, took out a small cloth bag from his belt, and threw it at Comanche in the hall.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Comanche reached out to catch the small cloth bag thrown by Dasa, and looked at him suspiciously.

"In the future, after the new emperor ascends the throne, you can show him what's inside, and he will understand. Comanche, go and do your work first. You will be busy with such a sudden change of location. Let's go. "

After throwing the things to Comanche, Dasa waved his hand at him, without further words.

After Comanche also bowed solemnly to Dasa, he left the hall and ordered the door of the hall to be closed when he left.

"Ailon, Ailon. The pressure and suffering you will face in the future is far greater than your current trial experience. I only hope that you can shoulder such a great pressure."

The moment the door of the main hall was closed, Dasa sat slumped on the throne, looked at the exquisite crystal lamp above his head and let out a long sigh.

On the northern slope of Mount Hyjal, Aaron's eyes seem to have lost their spirit at the moment. He is just climbing mechanically at the moment. There is an abyss behind him, and there is no way out.

Whether it is to obtain the emperor's ax of imperial power or just to survive, he must move forward.

At last, before the last rays of the sun faded across the sky, he reached the summit.

However, he was not the first to climb to the top.

Several other testers who had reached the summit had already gathered around the rock platform, and the gorgeous golden ax was stuck on the black rock at this moment, waiting for qualified people to pull it out.

"No! It can't be pulled out at all!"

"Is there any mistake! We have completed all the trials!"

When the five testers on the top of the mountain were discussing why they couldn't pull out the axe, Ruier's voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"Maybe, we haven't completed all the trials. Do you remember the fifth trial?"

Riel's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of the several practitioners present.

Yes, the fifth trial.

The daily task of cleaning up the cave and building a shrine for the three bear gods. Although they all participated in the cleaning of the cave, they were all short of one thing.

Repair the shrine.

In this way, their task is equivalent to only half completed, but the half is the same as the result of not doing the whole trial, and they are not yet qualified to get the qualification to pull out the axe.

Ruined!
The trainees who may be qualified to pull out the axes may still be repairing the shrine at this moment!

But it's too late in time!
Ailon, lying on the ground without any image, fixed his eyes on the ax stuck on the black rock platform. At this moment, he heard the voice of his mother North in a trance.

"What are you waiting for?! Go and pull that ax up!"

Yeah, what am I waiting for?
At this moment, Aaron was a little exhausted because he had just climbed Mount Hyjal, and his head was a little confused.

In the sky, the last remnant of the sun still shines on the sky, and Ms. Bai has already risen at this moment.A bright white moon shone on the summit of Mount Hyjal.

With this light, Aaron looked at the ax inserted on the black rock platform. The pattern drawn on the ax seemed to let him see Dasa, how his fathers developed step by step from the primitive settlement to the present day Imperial.

Similarly, he also saw some fear and anxiety in Dasana's heart after each severance.

He didn't know why he could feel Dasa's nervousness every time he gave an order. He was really far less calm and calm than others saw.

Aaron can also feel the pressure and difficulties brought about by the position of leader from this relationship again and again.

"Hurry up and pull that ax out!"

North's urging voice sounded in Aaron's ears again.

"Think clearly, and do it. Child, you still have the right to refuse."

Zuul's voice appeared in Aaron's ears after being accompanied by North's anxious and urging voice. His voice was as calm and wise as ever.

"High Priest?!"

After Aaron heard Zuer's voice, his originally tranced spirit suddenly became sober.

But the moment he woke up, he couldn't hear any sound anymore, all he could hear was the wind from the top of Mount Hyjal and the arguments of the testers who were discussing around the axe.

Aaron slowly got up from the ground, stood up again, and walked towards the black rock platform step by step.

Looking at the golden ax stuck on the rock platform, Aaron's expression gradually became firm.

He will not refuse to be the new emperor of the Zandalari Empire. Since his mother asked him to become emperor and his father is willing to hand over the future of the empire to him, he must not let them down!
I will be in charge of the future of the empire!
Ailon walked to the black rock platform, reached out and grasped the long handle of the golden axe, and gave it a hard push.

With a clanging sound, Aaron pulled out the golden ax just like that.

"This!"

"Boy Aaron! You!"

All the testers present were shocked by Aaron's actions. When they thought that this trial was destined to be achieved by no one, they saw the thin elf boy in front of him pull out the symbol The ax that bears the imperial power of the Zandalari Empire.

Boom!
The heavy ax was not held in Aaron's hand for a long time before it fell heavily on the ground again.

This weapon was originally tailor-made by Dasa for himself. It was an armor-piercing weapon he had prepared to fight against the Yaqi worms.

At that time, He was already 1.6 meters tall. Compared with Ailon, who was only [-] meters tall at this time, it was really difficult to hold this ax that was almost as tall as himself.

What's more, Aaron is just a deacon, not a pure fighter like Dasa.

After witnessing this moment of Aaron, the testers present were a little unconvinced, and they proposed to fight Aaron in a duel.

Winner will get the axe.

When Ruier heard this, she frowned, because this seemed to violate the rules of the trial.

"Okay! But, if you lose, you have to listen to my orders in the future, no problem!"

As he spoke, Aaron took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and drank it down.

The testers present had no objection. They didn't even plan to challenge Aaron one-on-one, but were going to rush forward to snatch the golden axe.

Facing the last ten testers, the short staff in his left hand glowed with a bright blue arcane light, which turned into the blade of a great sword in a very short time The shape, accompanied by one of his swings, easily passed through the body of every tester who rushed up.

Before the ten testers charged like this, they were subdued by him with one move before they approached Ailon.

"Now, who else wants to challenge me?!"

Aaron raised the golden ax again, put it on his shoulder, looked around at the fallen trialists and shouted.

None of the testers were answering him, only the wind was left here.

Aaron's blow did not take the lives of the ten testers, but stripped them of their physical strength.

With the end of this final trial, a space magic gate appeared here, and the opposite of this gate was the outskirts of Zulsa City.

Ailon, who successfully obtained the Ax of Imperial Power, carried the ax through the gate of space and returned to the outskirts of Zulsa. He also saw the crowd who had already greeted him here.

"Wow, it's really lively."

Riel, as the only remaining standing tester present, returned to Zulsa with Ailon, and the guys who were laid down by Ailon were naturally sent back by other people.

In the distance, the bell tower of Zulsa rang, and Ailon, amidst the cheers of enthusiastic crowds along the street, felt the bright moonlight and the rain of petals falling slowly from the sky, and slowly walked towards the gate of the palace of Zulsa , After passing through the welcoming crowd, he accepted the blessings of a group of high-ranking priests.

Finally, at the gate of the palace, he saw Dasa sitting on the emperor's throne who had moved here at some point.

"Your Majesty, I succeeded."

The moment Ailon saw Dasa, he came to him with the heavy ax in both hands.

"Feel the weight of this artifact. Everything in the empire is far heavier than it. Remember, this feeling."

While talking, Daza stood up from the throne in the palace, walked up to Aaron step by step, picked up the ax he handed over, but then handed him to Aaron again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Aaron half-kneeled on the ground, struggling to hold the ax of imperial power that Dasasse returned to him with both hands.

"From today, you will become the new emperor of the Zandalari Empire! Stand up! Hold up your head! As the emperor of the empire, live!"

As Dasa spoke, he took off the imperial crown on his head and buckled it on Aaron's head. This crown was not suitable for size. Aaron wore it, and it could almost fit his entire head. It looked abnormal. funny.

But only Ailon can see clearly and feel the change of the emperor's aura in front of him.

After Daza crowned Aron, he fell silent.

"Hey, hey, hey! The former emperor has passed away, and the new emperor has ascended the throne!"

Bwonsamdi's figure appeared on Dasa's right, and Muezhara's figure appeared on Dasa's left.

The appearance of the Grim Reaper announced Dasa's death.

At the same time, the figures of Zhongluoa all appeared in this square. They surrounded Dasa's body and solemnly watched the emperor of the mortal empire pass away.

Then, a golden light fell from the sky, and Odin, Our Lady of Purity and a group of Val'kyr appeared in the venue.

The Virgin of Purity turned Dasa's body into a solemn white marble statue with the special device on his right arm. She also solemnly declared to everyone present that one day, when the world was in crisis, Daza would be Will come back again like lightning.

The former emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The passing away of Dasa and Zul heralded the end of the old era of the Zandalari Empire, and the beginning of a new era marked by Aron's ascension to the throne.

The torch is passed on, and the flame will continue with the addition of firewood, and it will burn even more blazingly.
