Chapter 496: Golden Foundation Knight (III)

Not long after stepping forward, Long Haochen suddenly stopped in his tracks, took off his outer cloak, and revealed the Golden Foundation Armor.

An aged voice came out, “Greetings, honored Golden Foundation Knight. May I ask what you came for?”

In the fog of light, a tall silhouette could be seen moving forward. This elder was lacking his left arm and an eye: it was one of the elders guarding the Knights’ Saint Mountain.

“Greetings elder. I am here to pick a mount. The Alliance head gave me his authorization.” Long Haochen was extremely respectful toward this elder; he offered his respects as he stepped forward, and then stopped in front of him. It was due to sensing the presence of this elder that he had previously revealed his Golden Foundation Armor.

The elder was quite astonished by hearing the young timbre of Long Haochen’s voice. That was a Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier, but the voice coming from it seemed really inadequate.

The decree this young-sounding knight took out to show him could not possibly be faked. It had complex coded text inside exclusive to the Knight Temple. Very rapidly, the old knight gave the decree back.

The old knight looking respectfully at Long Haochen showed some uneasiness, making Long Haochen continue with haste; “Elder, my name is Long Haochen. Please call me that. There is no need to be so formal.”

“Long Haochen?” Hearing these words, the elder was startled, and then shifted his posture to look at him, “So, you are actually Long Haochen.”

Just then he realized how famous his name had become in the Temple Alliance. But since things that are already said cannot be taken back, he simply nodded in response.

The elder declared after a short pause, in a dignified voice, “Don’t disclose your name again in the future. Even if this is our sacred mountain, you are far too brash.”

“Yes.” Long Haochen also realized his own mistake. If his identity was leaked, things would really get troublesome. Who knew if demon spies were nearby.

“Come with me. Your Golden Foundation Armor is the twelfth so I will call you Twelfth Golden Knight.”

“Yes.” Long Haochen agreed and followed the elder onto the mountain.

“This shouldn’t be your first time coming here, so I will let you pick your road on your own. Do you need a probing tile to detect the grade of magical beasts?” the elder asked.

Long Haochen shook his head. There was no way he would be unable to determine the grade of a magical beast at his level of cultivation.

“Then, be careful.” The elder stopped walking and pointed out a certain direction for Long Haochen to take.

“Thank you, elder.” Coming here for the second time gave him a totally different impression from the first time. He sensed upon his arrival that the surroundings seemed to be highly restricted. And these restrictions were all very well concealed, to the extent that only a part of them could be detected even at his level of mental force. In other words, taking a wrong path would very likely result in triggering these restrictions.

The degree of power held by these restrictions was quite hard to determine.

Walking forward according to the direction pointed out by the elder, a new scene very rapidly appeared in Long Haochen’s view. Under the spray of the bright, beautiful, and warm sunlight appeared the images of ragged trees accompanied by sweet smelling vegetation, giving the area a very refreshing feel.

Breathing deeply, Long Haochen felt entirely free from worries. The rich light essence here made him feel like a fish in the sea. And his Golden Foundation Armor was filled up since long ago, but its dark golden surface carried a soft trace of golden gloss and a dazzling orange-colored luster.

Whether in regards to cultivation or combat, any powerhouse attuned to light would benefit from a huge boost in this place.

This time, he didn’t need to climb over the top of a mountain to distinguish directions. Relying on his great perception, Long Haochen easily found his way to the deep, central parts of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain.

With a golden flash of light, four wings came out as if piercing through the Golden Foundation Armor. Spreading out from his back, these wings were also protected by the dark- gold colored Golden Foundation Armor.
