Chapter 545 - 345: I Choose to Steamroll (4K)
Mu Yuan squinted, observing his surroundings.
He was slightly surprised when he noticed the Dual Wing Angel.
Not by the angel's position, but rather, the identity that the angel represented.
Angels were different from giant dragons.
The lords of the seven great nations, as well as several native powerful nations, all had a chance to recruit epic giant dragons. Even small nation lords without a nationality could possibly recruit a dragon if they were lucky.
But angels...
In the entire Eternal World, there was only one power that could possess them.
That was the Holy Griffon Empire, the current strongest power on the Eternal Continent, which claimed to be the successor to the Bright Empire.
Within the Holy Griffon Empire, usually only the royal family or greatly favored nobles were qualified to be granted an angel. This was not only a symbol of strength but also of identity and status.
——All of the above was what Mu Yuan had read in books.
He had never even left the Tai Xuan Alliance or the Twilight Plains Territory, let alone visited the Holy Griffon Empire deep in the continent's heartland.
The lord from the Holy Griffon Empire was a young man with luminous golden short hair. Although younger looking than the angel, the aura of sanctity that spread from him was not the slightest bit inferior to that of the angel.
Um, to be precise, that divine and noble Great Force emanated from the Divine Armor worn by the lord of the Holy Griffon.
He made no attempt to conceal his Divine Armor. The bright golden halo spread in ripples, its edges adorned with streaks and wisps of lightning, exceptionally flamboyant.
Mu Yuan identified at a glance: this was a rich, top-tier second-generation heir.
Aside from him and the Griffin's Second Generation, there were four other Trial Lords.
To the left in the first position was a young man wearing round-framed glasses and a plain-colored mage robe. He exuded an aura of cultured amiability. Several commanders accompanied him, none sporting conspicuous features like the angel, so their details remained unclear for the moment.
To the left in the second position, Mu Yuan took a second look.
This was a young female lord, clad in what seemed like flimsy black body armor. Her legs were fair and slender but outlined with clearly defined muscles, robust and powerful.
Of course, Mu Yuan's focus was not there but on the swaying cat tail and cat ears of the lord.
This was a Cat Person race lord.
Mu Yuan made such a guess because the commanders that followed the Catwoman lord also had distinct cat ears. She was a true Catwoman, not a Human with Catwoman lineage.
To the right in the first position was a man wearing a black trench coat and a magician's top hat.
His face seemed coated in a layer of gray and was indistinct. The commanders who followed him were all cloaked in black, hoods drawn, giving off a mysterious vibe.
The last Trial Lord was completely enveloped in thick silver armor, even the eyes invisible. The armor was incredibly tall, over three meters, making the Silver Armor Lord stand out like a small giant among chickens.
Six people, some cautious, some confident, some bewildered.
"What's going on, isn't this just a trial of promotion? Why is there a special event, hmm... The trial was supposed to be a sure thing; it won't turn into a big problem, will it?"
The Catwoman thought this, her ears drooping.
Not far away, the expression of the Trial Lord from the Holy Griffon Empire was the exact opposite. The young man with golden hair couldn't help but smile, his lips turning upwards:
"Promotion trial... Hahaha, even I, the prince, have stumbled upon such an opportunity, it shows that destiny is on my side!"
He seemed to be very clear about the situation of the trial.
By his side, the young man with round glasses recognized the identity of this Trial Lord from the Holy Empire, "His Highness the Golden Lion Prince, I am Duke from the Star Luo Holy Palace."
He paused and asked, "Do you perhaps know the workings of this matter? Could you enlighten us fools?"
Mu Yuan looked over, not surprised.
After all, the identity of a prince from the Holy Griffon Empire far surpassed theirs.
This was truly a top-tier second-generation heir. Within the entire Eternal World, the most top-tier of second-generations.
To the likes of Wangba and Liu Miumiu, the top second-generation figures of Tai Xuan, they might just appear as rural commoners in his eyes, not at all comparable.
The Golden Lion Prince relished the feeling of reverence. He lifted his chin slightly and said, "Since you have asked so earnestly, I shall give you a slight hint."
"During the promotion trial, there is a very low probability of encountering a historical trial. The reason for its scarce appearance is because several sufficiently outstanding lords need to apply for the trial at the same time to trigger it."
If only one lord applies, even if that lord is very excellent, strong, and full of potential, they cannot encounter this 'special event.'
Special trials require a sufficient number of excellent trialists to match up.
According to the intelligence controlled by the Holy Griffon Empire, that's how it was said.
Just on this point alone, the Golden Lion was quite appreciative of the people in front of him.
He had found three Level Four Lords of decent level to apply for the trial at the same time as him, but clearly, none of those three were present. They probably did not meet the criteria of the laws of heaven and earth.
Without others to compare to, the Golden Lion Prince could not showcase his strength and strategy, despite having them in abundance.
"The difficulty of the historical trial is far higher than the normal mode, of course, I am fully confident that as long as you all follow my command, passing this special trial will not be difficult."
