The Epic Wonder Building [Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall] was finally completed in this cycle.
This is the third miracle building in the domain and also the third mega-structure.
The Divine Hall covers an extensive area, but unlike the Goddess Hall with its distinct style, it seamlessly integrates with the city. Especially, it’s tightly combined with the domain’s military structures.
The Golden Pansy Guard Castle and the Black Banner Army Camp are on its left and right, respectively. In the middle, a wide and magnificent white stone arch bridge stretches hundreds of meters, connecting to the grand door of the Divine Hall.
At the end of the arch bridge, a hundred-meter-tall double-winged Angel Statue with a longsword held upside down guards the square in front of the palace.
Hundreds of knights in the domain, led by two Knight Kings, are divided into left and right columns, entering the palace from both sides of the angel. Even the Celestial Punishment Fear Knight and the Divine Watch Knight hold long halberds at the end of the line, entering one by one.
Su Xi, holding a long knife, folds her arms in front of her chest. Her high-waisted short skirt accentuates her perfectly curvaceous chest, and her heavenly long legs are smooth and round, making her the most beautiful scenery in the domain.
Standing on a nearby hill, countless knights passing by below cannot help but look up at her—the domain’s first beautiful legs—and the mysterious allure beneath her short skirt.
Audrey, in a high-slit black sheer gown, couldn’t help but complain to Lin Rui: "These knights in the domain, their eyes seem to want to burrow under Su Xi’s skirt! Yet, they’re shameless enough to participate in the Holy Grail Trials? Where do they get the nerve to call themselves pure?"
Lin Rui looked at the knights lined up below like two long dragons, and he too was slightly skeptical.
If, one day, the domain got corrupted and fallen by demons, everyone would surely embrace sadomasochism.
These knights are so full of energy; can they really pass the trial of the [Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall]?
Now, the domain’s knights are participating in the first layer of trials at the [Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall].
After this epic wonder building was constructed, the knights automatically received an epic-level mission composed of two stages.
The first stage of the trial [Holy Knight: The Pure Ones always encounter the vile, and the vile always have their arguments; it’s been this way for ages. Enter the Divine Hall, face the true interrogation, prove your inner purity, and show you’re not vile.]
[If you pass the test, you gain the Trait: Holy Knight: Physical Defense +10%, Willpower +10%, immune to the first control effect in battle, immune to spirit magic damage]
[If you fail the test, you gain the Trait: Innate Meanness: Willpower judgment modification -35%, increased control duration by 15%, divine damage received permanently +50%]
Honestly, this test is extremely stringent. If one fails, the consequences are very severe. Whether it’s the -35% modification to Willpower judgment, a 15% increase in control duration, or a permanent 50% increase in divine damage received, any of these would substantially weaken a unit’s power. Combined, these three can reduce a knight’s strength by about one-tenth.
But upon hearing about the [Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall] trial, the domain’s knights were all filled with confidence, asserting that they could definitely pass the trial. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelHub(.)net
So, as soon as the Divine Hall opened, they rushed over to line up and entered one after another.
Yuyu, a fun-loving person, seeing this lively occasion, rarely leaves the Goddess Hall, but she appeared under the sun, constantly shielding her forehead with her pale hand, as she would say, this is called a maiden fearing the sun, shading with a hand.
She frustratedly asked, "Am I just standing here under the sun waiting? I must say, this is foolish. Besides Violet, how many among them are normal? You actually believe they will pass the trials?"
"It’s like saying, although I have tattoos, drink, smoke, and engage in promiscuity, I know I’m a good girl. It’s full of irony."
Audrey was momentarily dumbfounded, hesitantly saying, "It doesn’t seem that exaggerated. They probably don’t touch any of that. Oh, they drink a bit at gatherings."
But for these bold and valiant soldiers to drink a bit, it doesn’t seem that bad.
"Hmm, makes sense." Su Xi nodded, "At most, they’re just greedy hedonists."
Lin Rui immediately turned his head; upon hearing this, he suddenly was filled with confidence that they would pass the test.
Because these knights are not greedy, at most, they’re lustful.
But being a group of muscle-bound hunks, overflowing with hormones, not being lustful would be losing humanity?
On the contrary, they genuinely possess virtues such as humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul.
Not long after a few exchanges, Lusen ran out screaming from inside.
This guy, following Lin Rui, had risen from Tier One Excellence Level all the way to Tier Four Heroic Spirit Level, an absolute elder figure among the knights. At every gathering, he’d sit right at the center of the table, talking eloquently to others.
But his nature hadn’t changed; still in his twenties, full of vigor, every day he exhausted the Tier One Excellence Level Amos, leaning against the wall, as this little girl had only 8 points in physique.
He came out howling, leaving Lin Rui unable to discern whether his cries were out of excitement or anguished wails.
Only able to call him over, Lin Rui asked, "Lusen, why did you come out so quickly? What was the result of the trial, did you pass or fail?"
Audrey’s eyes curved with a smile: "I guess for him to come out so soon, he definitely failed to pass the first layer of trial and got kicked out."
