Chapter 391: The Lost City
"Sim. β
Standing in front of a ruin, looking at the wind and sand gradually spreading in front of him, Leon turned around and looked at Adil kindly: "How do you feel?"
"It's like it's very old. Looking up at the scenery in front of him, Adil whispered after a while.
"Not bad. Leon nodded: "This ruin is at least three thousand years old from now. β
"Over the course of 3,000 years, the original city has gradually been buried underground, and the inhabitants who originally lived here have begun to migrate, turning it into a place of dead silence. β
"Historical studies have shown that this ruin, as early as 2,000 years ago, was a famous forbidden place, known as the Lost City, but now, in the end, it has also begun to decline. β
"Is this the Lost City?" Muttered to himself, listening to Leon's narration and looking at the ruins of the city where the wreckage could be faintly seen in front of him.
The Lost City, this is a legend that is widely spread in the Purple Flower Kingdom.
Ancient cities were destroyed overnight, and all its inhabitants died, and their souls lodged on the city, telling the world stories of the past.
According to folklore, this is a city that ordinary people cannot find, and everyone who can find it is either the former owner of the city or the dying person.
This is the world of the dead, and it is impossible for anyone who enters the city to enter the world again.
Of course, these are just folklore.
In the past few years, having read various documents sent by Leon, Adil also had some knowledge of the message of the Lost City.
In fact, in the past, there have been occasional people who have strayed into the city and left their mark on it.
Ten years ago, there was such a record in the Purple Flower Kingdom.
A team of officially dispatched archaeologists was ordered to investigate this generation, but they accidentally strayed into this lost city, and as a result, the entire archaeological team was almost wiped out, leaving only the deputy head at the time, a young professor, who barely got out of it.
However, in fact, the young professor did not come out of it alone.
Thinking back to these past stories, ahead, Leon also took out a black and white photo from his breast pocket.
The color of the photo is very monotonous, and the shooting technology back then was not as convenient as it is now, so the effect of this old photo is not very good.
In the photo, a young man with a frightened face is quickly walking out of a ruined city, with an extremely distorted expression on his face, as if he has been frightened by something.
Behind the young man, a black, air-dried corpse lay quietly behind him, and a strange and terrifying face was attached to the young man's neck, as if it was glued.
"Heh... Will the curses of the past spread along the bloodline?"
Looking at the ruins in front of him and putting away the black and white photo in his hand, Leon sneered, and then looked up at him.
"The place has arrived, Sim and I went in and the others were waiting for us. β
He looked around, and after giving orders, he looked at Sim again: "Sim, is it okay?"
"As long as it doesn't take long, it shouldn't be a problem. Looking back, Adil also had a general idea of what he was going to do next, so he nodded without much hesitation.
"Let's go, then. Looking up at the ruined city in front of him, Leon took a deep breath, then took Adil and walked forward.
Under the gaze of everyone behind them, they walked forward step by step, gradually approaching the city in front of them.
Before walking to the ruins, the city seemed to know their intentions, and no longer emitted strong wind and sand, making the surroundings instantly quiet.
After a while, they came to a huge city gate.
The gate was made of stone, and it looked like it was sturdy and huge, and it was fairly well preserved, and the remnants of the body were full of the mottled smell of time.
However, although the city gate is intact, only the remains of the city wall and attic that accompany the city gate remain, and only this city gate is still standing, which seems to represent the last vestiges of the past era.
I don't know if it's an illusion, standing in front of this city gate, Adil always felt as if there were many people standing on the opposite side, looking at him one by one, with a strange meaning.
He leaned slightly sideways and looked at Leon beside him.
The strong mental power made him keenly feel that the blood flow in Leon's body was accelerating, and cold sweat was breaking out in many parts of his body, and he seemed to be very nervous.
Sensing Adil's gaze, he smiled reluctantly, then squeezed Adiel's hand and walked forward.
As they walked into the city gate, there seemed to be a strange scene in the eyes of the people left behind behind.
Above the ruins, as two newcomers entered, the old gate seemed to regain some vitality and slowly but firmly closed.
BangΒ·Β·Β·
A crisp sound sounded slowly around me, accompanied by a loud noise.
"Hey, don't stand stupid. β
A voice came from my ears, with a wave of impatience.
Listening to the voice, Adil opened his eyes, and then he was stunned.
It was as if he had traveled through a world in an instant, and he was standing inside a wide gate.
The gate is made of stone, similar to the one on the ruins before, with some minor differences.
The same is true for the surrounding buildings, which look closely and look somewhat similar to the previous ruins.
However, at this time, the city, which had been reduced to ruins, was once again filled with a lively atmosphere.
Pedestrians walked through the city, wearing some thin clothes, and kept walking in it.
The old man with a cane, the child running around beating the sand, and the woman holding the baby and chatting with the neighbors, it was a lively scene.
"You're not leaving?" At this moment, the voice of impatience sounded again.
Adil raised his head and saw that in front of him, a young warrior wearing rattan armor was standing there, looking at him a little impatiently: "Do you want to go in? Don't get in the way of the people behind." β
"I..." Adil opened his mouth and was about to walk forward.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Behind him, an anxious voice suddenly sounded, and then a hurried figure rushed out from behind, and instantly ran over and grabbed Adiel's hand.
"Amri, I've finally found you. Grabbing Adier's hand firmly, the figure looked relieved before stopping.
Listening to the voice and looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Adil was stunned.
It was a fairly tall figure, wearing a coarse cloth robe, holding a large bag in his left hand and holding Adil in his right hand.
However, what stunned Adil was the appearance of this man, who was somewhat similar to Corral, almost like twin brothers.
