Chapter 427: Chapter 427: The Masked Elder

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, as he hadn’t expected such bizarre rules to exist here.

Ignoring these fellows, he simply tore off the sheep’s head and began to eat by himself.

Jin Lingsu also provocatively sat next to Chen Yu, chewing hungrily on the pot meat.

Those guys were truly enraged, drawing their horse-cutting sabers from their waists.

“Damn it, these two don’t take us seriously at all, let’s chop them up and go back for a reward.”

Just as they were about to make a move, Chen Yu suddenly stood up, releasing a blue and white glow that shocked these men to the ground.

He took a moment to catch his breath, then walked up to the sheep’s head vendor.

“Boss, what place is this? Why do I have to pay to come in?”

The vendor raised his head, his eyes appearing hollow.

“This is the entrance to the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, and all who arrive here must show reverence to the gods. However, it doesn’t have to be gold, it can also be a sheep’s head.”

Chen Yu glanced at the people on the ground: “Then what’s their deal?”

“They are the lowest warriors of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, they just wanted to extort some money from you!”

Chen Yu suddenly felt like cursing; he hadn’t expected these guys to have come to shake him down.

After finishing the sheep’s head in his hands, Chen Yu parked the vehicle on an empty space and brought Jin Lingsu toward the direction of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus.

This place was not as terrifying as the legends suggested. Although everyone’s expression in the outer town was very stiff, they were still warm and hospitable.

Moreover, along the way from the town to the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, many people were there on pilgrimage.

Chen Yu didn’t let down his guard, carefully observing everything around him.

After about half an hour, the two of them finally arrived at the foot of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus.

Speaking of which, this place was not really a mountain, but rather a huge castle built on a mound.

Just then, two figures in white robes slowly walked down from the castle.

“Are you here for a pilgrimage?”

Their authoritative inquiry could have made an ordinary person kneel in fear.

Chen Yu smiled and took out the Token of the Knights of the Round Table from his clothing.

“I’ve got some disputes to settle with your family, and I’ve come today to resolve them!”

Upon seeing the Token, the person’s eyes widened, and he rushed back into the castle in a fluster.

Not long after, an elder with white hair hurried out.

“I really didn’t expect someone from the Knights of the Round Table to come to our Sacred Mountain. Please come inside, the mountain elder has already started preparing the meal.”

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, as the mountain elder had been a legend and supposedly died a thousand years ago, yet was apparently still around.

He didn’t say much, just followed the person into the castle.

The place was truly resplendent, with almost all the decorations carved out of pure gold.

Chen Yu entered a great hall and casually pulled over a chair to sit down. Before long, an old man wearing a mask came out carrying a large basin of mutton.

“I’ve long heard that the Knights of the Round Table had a young and newly appointed knight. I’m finally seeing one today.”

Chen Yu didn’t respond, just picked up a piece of mutton and placed it near his mouth.

Jin Lingsu quickly grabbed his wrist, signaling him to be cautious.

Chen Yu shook his head: “Go ahead and eat.”

Before Jin Lingsu could react, Chen Yu had already bitten off a large chunk of mutton.

Fortunately, the mutton had not been tampered with, and Chen Yu was safe and sound.

The masked old man chuckled twice, sitting with his legs crossed, staring at Chen Yu with a kind gaze.
