The cold wind howled, and the snow froze the air.
"We're finally here …"
Lady He Wanglan's face, which used to be radiant, now looked very pale. Because the temperature was quite low, white mist would come out of her mouth and nose every time she breathed. The low air pressure and the rapid breathing caused by the strenuous exercise made the white mist feel continuous.
Even with the help of many retainers and servants, it was still too difficult to climb the mountain that was more than 10,000 meters high. Many of the people who looked quite strong on normal days ended up becoming a burden to the team, and Lady Craneshirt's pet even froze to death halfway.
If it weren't for her obsession since childhood and the road sign left behind by Lauren Claudian when he first climbed the mountain, Lady Craneshirt would not have been able to reach the top.
However, putting aside the difficulties and obstacles during the climb, the moment she reached the top of Mount Amos, she felt a great sense of loss when she saw nothing but snow, blue sky, and white clouds.
"My Lady," the burly man was one of the few who reached the top of the mountain. He probably felt Lady Craneshirt's hesitation, so he said in a rough voice, "Look at how flat the terrain is. It's most likely not formed naturally. There must be something else."
"Of course I know!"
Lady Craneshirt gritted her teeth.
After all, Lauren Claudian had already proven that there was nothing at the top of the mountain. Legend had it that one needed the blood of the Golden Apple and Birbom to open the secret realm where the Gods lived. It was normal to say that there was nothing at all at the top of the mountain.
Lady Craneshirt stood up with the help of her retainers and took out the Golden Apple from the leather pouch she carried with her.
Judging from the outer texture, it was exactly the same as the one in Lauren Claudian's hand, but the inside of this real Golden Apple seemed to have a built-in LED breathing light. Waves of light blue light constantly flashed from the texture.
For the people of the Middle Ages, this incredible phenomenon was considered a miracle.
It was also because of this that Lady Craneshirt and those who had seen the Golden Apple firmly believed in the legend.
She took a deep breath, then raised the golden apple and shouted, "In the name of Birbom's bloodline, the gate of the legendary Garden of Gods, show your true appearance!"
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew past, but nothing happened.
Mrs. He Wanglan looked at the Golden Apple in her hand in a daze. It was still the same as before, shining with a mysterious and beautiful brilliance.
Thus, she repeated her actions.
But still, nothing happened.
"Open it! Show yourself! "
Madame Crane Wanglan panicked. She knelt down in the snow and began to roar hysterically, "Why haven't you appeared yet? What's wrong?! "
"Madam …"
The burly man couldn't bear to see her like this. He wanted to help her up, but she smashed the golden apple on his face. Blood immediately flowed down from his forehead and quickly froze.
"If the gods didn't exist! Then what should I do about my illness? I don't want to die yet! "
Madame Crane Wanglan wailed bitterly.
She was born in a noble family. Although her father had passed down the Golden Apple and the true legend to her when she just came of age, in fact, many of her ancestors had tried to climb Mount Amos, but no one had succeeded in the past hundreds of years. It was not easy to keep the Golden Apple.
At first, Madame Crane Wanglan didn't have the intention of looking for the legendary Garden of Gods. She was content with the status quo. Like most women in this era, she married a young noble at a young age.
It was a pity that the other party soon passed away from illness, leaving He Wang Lan, who only had the title of Countess, all alone … Well, that was not entirely the case.
She had many lovers and gigolos. She had money and status. Naturally, she could continue to live a happy life — until a year ago.
She was diagnosed with an incurable disease by the best doctor in the Empire, and she had less than two years left to live.
After that, she went to many places, looking for various doctors to treat her, but in the end, they all said that they couldn't do anything.
When she was about to lose all hope, the Golden Apple that had been passed down by her ancestors came into her sight.
If there really was a god, such a small matter should be easily solved.
With this thought, she prepared for half a year. She even exposed the fact that she had the Golden Apple to Baron Emerald Sparrow, causing the latter to do everything he could to take it away.
In the end, after Lauren Claudian successfully reached the top and summarized some of the tricks needed to reach the top, the time was finally ripe!
For today, for this moment, she had sacrificed a lot, but she still failed.
This feeling was probably like finding out that you had won 200 million dollars, but when you went to redeem your prize, you were told that your lottery ticket was from the last week.
Suddenly, a sharp cry of a falcon pierced the sky. Then, the snow-white falcon landed on the shoulder of the strong man.
The strong man subconsciously took the note tied to the falcon's claw. After reading it, his face changed greatly.
"Madame, Duke Emerald Sparrow and his men raided the outpost on the mountainside and took away the material … They may be coming up too!"
Madame Crane Wanglan's howling stopped. She gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "If I can't get it, they can't get it either! Prepare to blow up the jade, I want to give them a big gift! "
