Chapter 44: The Ruins of the Gosa Kingdom
In order not to be seen by the border guards stationed at Capra Pass, Allen and his team bypassed the Kapra Pass dozens of miles north of the Pass, and by dusk they could already see a bright white chain winding from a distance, across the flat grassland, that is, the Bisi River.

At this time, the spring flowers are in full bloom, the glaciers on the snow-capped mountains begin to melt, and the water of the Bixi River becomes full. The grasslands on both sides of the river, moistened by the expanding river, also emerged a light green color, like a huge carpet spreading out to the horizon and boundless.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the sunset is like a huge fireball hanging in the sky, it has already lost its previous sharpness, can only sprinkle the last trace of afterglow to the flat earth, the sunset burns the sky, like a ribbon floating at the end of the grassland, their slender figure covers half of the sun's face, through the afterglow of the colorful glow, half of the sky is reflected in pink, the whole grassland is dyed in color, from far to near, from deep to shallow, as if draped in a layer of red and yellow gradient tulle. The afterglow falls on the Bisi River, and the surface of the river is glittering, and the golden chains of light continue to jump with the waves, which makes people dazzle. A few geese returned to their nests and flew in the direction of the setting sun, and from a distance, their wings spread out, leaving a desolate silhouette in the blood-colored sky.
"It's no wonder that this grassland is called the Sunset Prairie, and the view at dusk is truly incomparable. ”
Fresnel leaned on the side of the ship, her silver hair dancing lightly in the breeze, her beautiful eyes looking at the sunset, and she sighed that on the side of the ship behind her was a graceful figure that the setting sun had created for her. She lives in the Elven Forest all year round, and the tall trees cover her from the beautiful scenery of the sunset, and she has always thought that the Elven Forest is the most beautiful place in the world, and the beauty that is incomparable to other regions of the continent has it, but today when she saw the sunset on the prairie, she realized that beauty is everywhere.
This night, the spacecraft has been driving upstream along the Bisi River, listening to the sound of the Bisi River and dreaming of the sunset scenery of the grassland, after opening their eyes in the early morning, when they look ahead, they are surprised to find that a large ruin has appeared on the north bank of the river,
Looking at the ruins in the distance gradually becoming clear in the morning light, countless collapsed buildings stand in the barren grass, the large number and huge outline all show that there was a prosperous city here a long time ago, and there was a glorious civilization. Standing on the bow of the ship, Allen's heart moved, and he controlled the floating magic array to gradually reduce the energy output, lowering the height of the ship lower and lower, and gradually approaching the sky above the ruins.
"This is supposed to be the ruins of the Gosa Kingdom, the Crescent Zone. ”
Alan jumped off the ship and came to the ruins of a building on a high place, the exterior of which was all made of huge stones, which had been preserved even after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and from the remaining frames, it was clear that this was once a huge castle inhabited by the most powerful people in the city.
"Yes, it should be here. Alan, you know that history, too?"
Bloom jumped down with Eren and came to Alan's side, he looked around with complicated eyes, and was very surprised to hear Alan's words, he always thought that Eren didn't know the history of mercenaries.
"Mistress Ogu told me that he wanted me to help him recreate the glory of the Gothas. ”
Alan said without any concealment.
"The mercenaries have been passed down from generation to generation, and although they have survived with difficulty, they have never given up the ideal of returning to their homeland and recovering their homeland. Did you promise him?"
Bloom crouched down and reached out to grab a handful of dirt from under his feet, he held it tightly in his palm, and felt his heart beat a lot faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and his eyes became hot.
"No! everything has changed, and it is impossible for the Gosa country to go back. ”
Alan shook his head and said calmly.
"Alan, I don't understand what you mean. ”
Bloom looked at Alan in surprise, his expression very complicated, not knowing whether it was confusion or excitement, or something else.
Alan didn't answer immediately, he bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand, and when he shook it hard, the sand dust immediately overflowed from between his fingers, these fertile lands that were once full of mercenary blood and tears have long since become weathered, and all the nutrients in them have disappeared, turning into a mixture of gravel and dust, this mixture has formed barren sand and dust instead of fertile soil, they flow easily, hold it in your hand, and the harder you hold it, the faster it flows.
"Look at this. ”
Alan spread his palm to show Bloom, who seemed to understand what he meant, and spread his palm as well, only a small amount of dust and gravel remained in the palm of his hand, but it was blown away by a gust of wind.
"I see!"
Bloom slapped the dust off his hands, and as Alan walked to the top of the ruins, the heat stirring in his heart had calmed down. They hesitated on the ruins for half an hour, then got back on the boat, rose to a high altitude and looked around, the ruins of the broken walls, barren grass, the ancient road of the Bixi River had already been submerged in yellow sand and barren grass, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a ruin.
The spaceship re-accelerated, and in less than half an hour, it had already sailed out of the range where the Gosa ruins were located, and there was no trace of the ruins behind them.
As soon as the ruins of the ancient Gotsa Kingdom passed, the green on the ground began to decrease rapidly, without the moisture of the Bixi River Ancient Road, coupled with the harsh climate, the green vegetation was rapidly degraded and replaced by the Gobi Desert.
The spaceship was like a lone eagle soaring over the endless wasteland, all around it was the Gobi Desert, and if it weren't for the two coordinates of the sun and the Bisi River, Alan would almost suspect that he had lost his way, walking on a road that repeats itself and has no end.
After flying forward for another three days, the course of the Bixi River suddenly took a major turn, the direction of the source changed from northwest to due west, and continued to flow upstream, and the south side of the sky could be seen in the distance, vaguely and vaguely the traces of the snow-capped mountains, which should be Capra Mountain, but the north was still a Gobi wasteland, and there was no trace of the Kulun Snow Mountain.
"Attention, we are now on the border between the Cullen and Capra Mountains, and the road ahead is getting harder and more dangerous. ”
Bloom took out the map, pointed to a thin line in the upper left corner of the map, and reminded loudly that the thin line he pointed to was the Bissi River, and he traveled through a wasteland between the Cullen and Capra Mountains, and this wasteland was the clearing left by the Elven legend that the gods had moved the Congo Mountains from here, because the terrain was low, and the meltwater from the icebergs of the Cullen Mountains and the Capra Mountains collected here, and finally turned from a babbling stream into a rushing river. Although the terrain is relatively flat, the environment of this desert is 10,000 times worse than the area it has passed before, and the cold, strong winds, and magical beasts from the Kulen Mountains and Capra Mountains will appear here.
