Chapter 38 The Road to Heaven
According to legend, there is a staircase leading to the sky on the peak of Baiyun not far away. As long as you can walk on that road, you can reach the mysterious sky city...
Does it sound very artistic?
And in fact......
"To be honest, I'm really skeptical now that this thing is made up to cheat money."
Looking at the bustling town at the foot of the mountain, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless and complained.
No wonder he said that, just look at the brands.
"Sky City Ladder Search Tour Group", "Mysterious Sky City Relics Exhibition", "One Hundred and Eight Stories About Sky City You Don't Know"…………
If it wasn't for triggering the mission of "Castle in the Sky" when inquiring about the news from the tavern, Duanmuhuai really thought it was just a story used to cheat money.
It's like traveling to Flame Mountain and then encountering something like "Shuilian Cave Classic Tour Route".
The problem is that the Water Curtain Cave is not in the Flame Mountain either.
"...Forget it, let's go and have a look."
With the idea that idleness is idleness, Duanmuhuai took Auges into the museum of "Sky City Relics Exhibition" in the town, wanting to see what is in this sky city.
However……………
"This is a pair of swords that suddenly fell from the sky one day! It is unabated, and even pierced through the head of an unlucky guy!"
This Nima is a high-altitude parabola! Aren't you going to find the murderer?
"It is said that this is a cup used by the residents of the Sky City. The Sky City will regularly sprinkle these bounties on the world. It is our duty to collect them!"
It's just an ordinary cup, and besides, is it true that you throw garbage from the sky? If it is true, then the quality of the residents of this sky city is not very good.
After looking around patiently, Duanmuhuai said, this is just a garbage fair.
They still have a bit of conscience if they don't get a piece of poop and fossils come out.
"Forget it, let's go straight up the mountain."
Although Duanmuhuai didn't see any sky city in the satellite scan, but since the system triggered the task, it means there must be a sky city here.
Of course, there is also a one-day tour of the "Sky City Stairs" in the town, but they are on horseback, and Duanmuhuai's figure obviously can't ride, so he directly took Augis along the mountain road and walked up the mountain step by step—— ——He didn't even find a guide, after all, those guys who are full of talking about running trains and making up stories are probably impossible to provide themselves with any useful clues.
Fortunately, there is only one way up the mountain, and Duanmuhuai is not afraid of going the wrong way.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who went up the mountain. Along the way, Duanmuhuai also saw many knight-like guys in armor and carrying long swords. Some of them rode horses, some walked. Obviously, they all came here to look for the legendary "sky city".
"So, you all came here to find Sky City? Does this have anything to do with your trials?"
While walking, Duanmuhuai started chatting with a knight riding a horse next to him --- idle is idle, just like chatting when traveling to Mount Tai and Huangshan.
"Of course, Stranger."
And this knight is also a talkative person, although Duanmuhuai looks scary wearing a helmet, but there are so many people here, he is not afraid of the other party's sudden attack, so he started chatting.
"It is rumored that the Sky City is a sacred city that only knights with integrity can enter. As long as we can enter the city and receive blessings, then we can show our strength and glory!"
"So, has anyone ever succeeded?"
Duanmu Huai asked curiously, there is some basis for this kind of rumor, it can't just open your mouth and come here.
"It is rumored that the Green Knight, the patron saint of Bretonnia, once went to the city of the sky under the guidance of the goddess of the lake. His armor and weapons all came from that city!"
"Oh I got it……………"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why these knights were so excited, and after a long time, they all wanted to be the second green knight.
But what's wrong with being a green knight, you are green from beginning to end, and you don't know how many times you have been green before you become like this... Duanmu Huai would be beaten to death.
It didn't take long before everyone came near the top of the mountain. They scattered and searched for clues everywhere——obviously, they weren't stupid, after all, the sky here was cloudless, and there wasn't even a ghost in the sky. But the people in the magical world have strong receptivity. Obviously, the city in the sky is likely to be in another world, so what they are looking for now is a way to go to that world.
I have to say that these people are not stupid.
Unfortunately, they are unlikely to find it.
Duanmuhuai was not together with these people, he glanced left and right, and then, a light flashed in his eyes.
Start, soul resonance! !
The next moment, the world in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes immediately changed, and the surroundings became illusory and dazed. Soon after, Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain——on the sharp top where only one person could stand, there was a slender The stairs lead straight into the sky leading to the pure BC city that is located on the top of the mountains and floating in the sky.
I found you!
Seeing this scene, the corners of Duanmuhuai's mouth turned up slightly, and then he let Augis sit on his shoulders, and then Duanmuhuai came to the front, stretched out his hand to grab the stone, and began to climb the rock in front of him.
Duanmu Huai's actions naturally attracted the attention of others, but they didn't think much about it. After all, there is only a platform the size of a person on the top of the mountain. Everyone has checked it long ago, and there is nothing on it. I thought that this burly black guy just wanted to go up to see the scenery, and some people even worried that he would trample on the platform on the top of the mountain——that place can't stand the tossing of this black guy!
However, just as everyone started looking for clues again, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Hey? Where's the black knight?!"
Hearing the scream, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly raised their heads to look upwards, only to see that the platform on the top of the mountain not far away was empty, without a single person, and the burly and huge black knight just disappeared. up!
Where did he go? Could it be that he fell off the mountain? !
Of course Duanmu Huai did not fall, in fact, he is walking among the clouds now.
"Phew... this place is really unfriendly to people with fear of heights."
Walking on the stairs, looking around, Duanmuhuai also secretly sighed inwardly. This is a staircase as wide as three people. The whole part looks like glass and transparent. Walking on it, Duanmuhuai can't help but think of the high-altitude glass corridors in many scenic spots. What's more terrible is that there is not even a handrail beside this ladder. If you step on the wrong foot, you will just slip and fall directly... and then fall directly.
This place is really not accessible to ordinary people.
It's a good thing those knights didn't find them, otherwise they might fall to death.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai raised his head again and looked at the sky city in front of him.
This is not so much a city as it is a mountain floating in the sky. The front half of the hill was hollowed out to create a massive fortress with semicircular walls and platforms. And in the innermost part, there is a white pure white high-rise building built against the mountain, and the whole sky city is full of a strange atmosphere and charm from a mysterious civilization.
Not the architectural style of the old saints, where did this thing come from?
While carefully looking at the sky city in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also puzzled. In fact, a long time ago, many soulwalker players discovered that there were many scenes in soul fragments, and they could not find corresponding records and records in reality. It's as if the world they found in the soul fragments never existed in this world at all.
Therefore, some players also put forward a hypothesis, that is, this planet may have been destroyed more than once. Before the Old Sages arrived on this planet, maybe this planet once had another powerful civilization environment, which later died out for some reason. Then the Old Ones came here and created species such as elves, dwarves and humans...
It has to be said that this assumption is still very marketable.
As for what it is...you will know by yourself!
At the same time, Duanmu Huai also stepped onto the last step and came to the gate of the Sky City.
