Chapter 4: The Forbidden Mountains (continued)
Starting from Dragon's Blood City and heading north, the land became extremely desolate, with only a few small buildings on the empty plains that could barely be called cities...... Well, on the map of the Empire, they are still cities, and these cities were built entirely for the Warden troops stationed in the Forbidden Mountains, and all the supplies and supplies of the troops were relayed by these cities.

However, because it was getting late, Alan in the sky did not see these border cities very clearly, but only vaguely saw the outline of a city.
If there are still people wandering the streets at this time, then as soon as they raise their heads, they are likely to immediately throw themselves into the arms of the Nine Holy Spirits, and thus become the most devout believers in the Holy See.
Because Delia and Alan who were flying in the sky at this time did not hide the huge light wings that were slowly flapping behind them, Alan would not hide the wings that made her look like a birdman at all, and Delia didn't know why she didn't hide the light wings on her back as usual, maybe she thought that no one would see it in this remote place.
Even in modern times, airplanes are the fastest means of transportation for human beings, so it can be seen that the vast, unobstructed sky is indeed a good place for "drag racing".
It was precisely because of this that Alan and Delia were able to move forward at high speed in the air, and even so, when the two of them approached the Forbidden Mountain Range, the night had already covered the entire northern land.
However, the Forbidden Mountains, which start from the Red Sea in the west and stretch to the easternmost rift valley, are still clearly visible even in the dark night. Different from ordinary mountain ranges, due to the scarcity of vegetation on the mountains, the forbidden mountain range shows an angular appearance, like a sleeping giant beast, faintly exuding a dangerous aura, which is easy for people who come here to retreat in their hearts.
This is the first time Alan has seen this famous mountain range with his own eyes, and the moment he saw the forbidden mountain range, Alan only felt that an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart, but it was mixed with some disgust, which made Alan wonder for a while whether the divine power in his body really belonged to him.
Delia discovered Alan's abnormality, the cold wind in the sky didn't seem to have much impact on her, Delia's pleasant voice sounded clearly in Alan's ears: "Remember what I told you? Divine power has its own wisdom, and all the feelings you have now are actually revealed by the divine power in your body." ”
Delia had long told Eren about the wisdom of divine powers, but Eren still didn't expect that this kind of wisdom would reach such a level, and even possess the ability to influence the emotions of his master.
"You don't have to worry too much, it's just because the divine power has its own inheritance, in fact, the divine power in your body now belongs completely to you. ”
Seeing that Alan was still a little worried, Delia took the initiative to explain to him.
"Your own inheritance?" Alan was a little incomprehensible, if power was a kind of inheritance, he could understand, but what does it mean that power has its own inheritance?
"Well, in fact, the power of the gods is older than the gods, so this power has its own heritage. Anyway, you just need to understand that the power in your body is completely yours, and we have arrived. ”
Alan, who had been focusing on Delia, heard this, and subconsciously looked at the ground.
Different from the darkness all around, at this time, there was still a fire in the camp in front of him, and Alan knew that this was the torch held by the patrolling soldiers, but he did not expect that in this kind of peacetime, this rear camp would strictly abide by various military orders as if in battle.
The previously conjectured attack did not appear, of course, this is not because the soldiers in the camp did not find the people in the sky, in fact, there are already soldiers who are ready to open the gate of the camp, and Delia has not been here before she comes.
The two of them slowly landed in front of the gate of the watchman's camp, originally Alan planned to enter the camp directly from the air, but after hearing Delia say the rule here - outsiders can only enter through the camp gate, they gave up and landed honestly in front of the camp gate.
"Delia," Les said a casual greeting to Delia, then turned to Allen again, "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come too." ”
Although the voice was familiar, Alan couldn't believe that the man in front of him was Les, the head of the Knights. Although Alan could see the extent of the "destruction" of these good-looking knights from the Forbidden Mountain Range from Thor who returned to the Holy Mountain, he was still surprised when he saw Les with his own eyes.
Just as she was about to say something, Delia interrupted Alan with a wave of her hand, "Find a quiet place, let's talk slowly." ”
......
The watchmen who are stationed here all the year round naturally do not live in simple tents, and although the houses built directly of solid wood look very simple and rough, they are very practical, and they are more suitable for the harsh environment here than those exquisite buildings.
The house that belonged to Rice was no different from the other houses where the soldiers lived in the area, the only difference was that Rice was the only one living here.
As a bachelor, Rice's room did not look messy, the weapons and armor were well arranged, and the walls were hung with various animal skins, which kept warm and also played a certain decorative role, although there was no appreciation in the eyes of Alan and Delia.
After the three of them sat down, Les, who had no sense of ownership, directly began to talk.
"Delia, why did you bring the Son here?" Even though Les's voice was soft, Alan could still hear the resent and reproach in his tone.
"He's going to know, isn't he? when do you want to tell him!" Delia stroked her long, messy pink hair, as if she were a little careless, but her piercing eyes were fixed on Les.
"It's ......"
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting heavier and heavier, Alan was a little impatient, he didn't come here in the middle of the night to hear people quarrel.
"Okay, anyway, I'll know sooner or later, what the hell is going on, just tell me!"
Hearing Allen's resolute words, Rice's hands, which had not changed in four years, were clasped together, and a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
"His Majesty the Pope just asked me to closely observe the situation of the Forbidden Mountain Mountain Seal, and since the accident, he ordered me to strengthen my guard, as for the rest of the ......" Les stretched out his finger and pointed at Delia on the other side, "Your Highness asked her well, anyway, no one knows as well as she knows." ”
Alan suddenly felt that these two people were playing with themselves, and the person with a dissatisfied expression just now actually said that he didn't know what was going on!
Rubbing his earlobe to sober his brain, Alan said angrily: "I don't know anything, so why are you so nervous!"
Les seemed to be confident, "His Majesty the Pope has put me on guard, can there be anything good that can't be done!" If you want me to say, Your Highness, you better go back early, don't stay here." ”
