As Lin Ye led the crowd through the long shadow land, the outline of the huge city finally appeared in front of them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This scene was very magical for Kruff, who did not expect that there really would be a city hidden in such an empty and remote wilderness.

For the Great Elders, this was a very meaningful moment, because this moment they had waited too long.

For more than 30 years, they have been looking forward to the day when they will be able to see again the holy tower that has guided them forward.

During this long period of time, they were brutally suppressed by the Church of Light, and experienced too many misfortunes, during which they were sad and miserable.

Especially after being exiled to the Valley of Atonement, where every inch of land is cast with their blood, they have experienced the longest period of despair and darkness.

But even then, they did not give up the faith in their hearts, even if one by one familiar people fell on that land full of sin.

They still had smiles on their faces when they died, they were so pious, so calm, maybe the only regret was that they didn't see the tower, but since faith exists, what does it matter if the tower is seen or not, it's just that the survivors have placed the wishes of the deceased.

When the Great Elder saw the towering tower, he knew that it was worth all the effort, and that the tower had not fallen.

It still stands in the clouds, still holding infinite faith, and those who have fallen in the Valley of Atonement will be relieved by it.

"Is this the Shadow City and the Tower of Darkness? I didn't expect it to really exist, but my lord, is such a city that has disappeared for more than thirty years really inhabited? It always feels a little too dreamy, not real enough, like not waking up in a dream. ”

Crouff was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes again and looked at the city shrouded in darkness, wondering if what he had seen was true.

"Listen, there is a bell ringing ahead, and since there is a bell, of course there is a man, and the ringing of the bell marks the coming of the night, and you see, the fire will soon be lit, and the city will have its own moment, and let us go and hope that they will welcome us uninvited guests. ”

Lin Ye pointed ahead, and a bell floated over, accompanied by the bell, a constantly lit fire, and the fire spread rapidly.

However, it is not a piece, dotted with stars, and it is the lights lit by thousands of homes, which seems to confirm Lin Ye's guess that it is indeed inhabited.

"When you say this, my lord, I'm really a little curious about what kind of existence a group of people who have been able to live in hiding for more than 30 years. ”

Crouff swallowed, after all, it was night, and the cities that appeared in the dark always had some mysterious and ominous atmosphere.

Even if he was a soldier fighting on the battlefield, he was a little suspicious of this, and he didn't know what kind of situation that dusty door would lead to.

Lin Ye walked at the forefront, and the group moved quickly towards Shadow City, and at the same time, in the interior of the city, on top of the clock tower.

After ringing the bell just now, the pendulum was still shaking gently, and it did not return to calm, and an old woman stood with the support of a young man.

Both men, dressed in black robes, lit a brazier at the edge of the bell tower, which was lit only after the bell had been rung.

It is a sign of the coming of night, and with many of these braziers in all corners of the city, the night is not too calm.

Scattered noises could be heard from every house, and devout believers were praying in the direction of the Tower of Darkness.

They have to pray before they start tonight's dinner, and they have been doing that for more than 30 years, and as they have been going back 300 years.

"The Tower of Darkness has been closed for more than thirty years, and although it stands here, the flame at the top of the tower has never been ignited, and no flame means no hope, and there is not enough power of faith, and it is still far from reopening Shadow City, alas. ”

The old woman sighed deeply, every day she would come to this clock tower and look up at the towering dark tower in the distance.

More than 30 years ago, she was only in her forties, just at the age of prime, she could climb the clock tower by herself and wait patiently.

But now, more than 30 years later, she is in her seventies, her legs and feet are not as sharp as before, and she needs someone to help her climb the clock tower.

"Are we going to wait like this, if we open Shadow City now, with the power we have gathered, we will surely be able to shake the Church of Light, why should we wait for the Tower of Darkness to open? ”

The young man who was holding the old woman was probably in his twenties, he was born in Shadowland and had never left the city.

Like other children born in Shadowland, he had had infinite expectations for the outside world and wondered why he had to be stuck here.

"What we want to bring to the earth is peace and tranquility, just like the night, not to bring war and strife, which is also the original intention of Lord Lin Nandu to close the Shadow City, he said that he is tired of this endless war, and the war brings only pain and deep disasters. ”

"On his orders, we closed the Shadowcity and gave the Church of Light enough time to prove that they were right and that they could govern the land well, just like the teachings they preached, so that everyone could live in peace and happiness. ”

The old woman recalled the back of the young man who turned away, and she was also confused and confused about why he did this.

But the long time gave her the answer, and she calmly accepted the order, and then the only thing to do was wait, wait endlessly.

But this is not the case, the Church of Light has governed this land for more than 30 years, not only has it not made everyone happy, but it has intensified the exploitation and made people's lives worse, they are wrong, and time has proven this. ”

"We can't wait any longer, our believers are waiting for our return, waiting for the Dark God to come, we have failed them for too long, now it's time to make amends for them, we must open the Shadow City and act now!"

This young man represents the perception of a significant portion of the Shadowcity, though they have never left Shadowland.

But they are always concerned about the changes in the outside world, and they desperately want to return to that land to save those who believe in them devoutly.

It's not about power, it's not about ambition, it's about what matters is that he thinks it's something he has to do.

"No, the time has not yet come, we cannot act until the prophesied person who can lead us appears, only the right person can lead us to the right path, not a long war, what difference is this from what we have experienced in history?"

"What we need is an end, peace and tranquility, not endless wars!"
