The cold wind whistled, and the powdery snow froze the air.
"We're finally here …"
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid's usually radiant face now looked extremely pale. Due to the low temperature, white mist would escape from her nose and mouth with every breath she took, and the rapid breathing caused by the low pressure and strenuous exercise made the white mist seem endless.
Even with the help of many servants, it was still too difficult to climb this mountain that was over 10,000 meters tall. Many who usually looked rather strong ended up becoming a burden to the team, and Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid's pet boy froze to death on the way.
If not for her obsession since young and the road signs left by Lauren Claudian when he first climbed the mountain, Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid would never have reached the peak.
However, putting aside the difficulties and obstacles in the process of climbing, the moment she reached the peak of Amos, she felt a great sense of loss when she saw that there was nothing but snow, blue sky, and white clouds.
"Madam," the burly man was also one of the few who reached the peak. He probably felt that Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid was wavering, so he said in a rough voice, "Look at the flat terrain here. It's most likely not formed naturally. There must be a mystery behind it."
"Of course I know!"
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid said through gritted teeth.
After all, Lauren Claudian had already proved that there was nothing on the peak of the mountain. Besides, legend had it that the Golden Apple and the bloodline of Birbom were needed to open the Arcane Realm where the deities lived. It would be more normal to say that the current empty state was normal.
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid stood up with the help of her squire and took out the Golden Apple from her leather pouch.
If one were to look at the texture of the Golden Apple, it was exactly the same as the one in Lauren Claudian's hand. However, this genuine Golden Apple seemed to have an LED breathing light inside. The texture of the Golden Apple was constantly flashing with a pale blue radiance.
To the people of the Middle Ages, this incredible phenomenon could be considered a miracle.
It was also because of this that Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid and those who had seen the Golden Apple firmly believed in the legend.
She took a deep breath and raised the Golden Apple high up, shouting, "In the name of the Birbom bloodline, O legendary gate of the Garden of God, reveal your true appearance!"
The cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, blew past, but nothing happened.
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid looked at the Golden Apple in her hand. It was still the same as before, shining with a mysterious and beautiful radiance.
So she repeated what she did just now.
But still, nothing happened.
"Open it! Show yourself! "
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid panicked. She knelt in the snow and began to roar hysterically, "Why isn't it showing itself! What's wrong! "
"Madam …"
The burly man could not bear to help her up, but she smashed the Golden Apple on his face. A stream of blood flowed down from his forehead and quickly froze.
"If God doesn't exist! Then what should I do about my illness! I don't want to die! "
Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid howled pitifully.
She was born in a noble family. Even though her father had passed down the Golden Apple and the true legend to her when she first came of age, many of her ancestors had tried to climb Mount Amos. However, none of them had succeeded in the past hundreds of years. It was already very difficult for them to keep the Golden Apple.
Originally, Madam the Crane-Gazing Orchid did not intend to look for the legendary Garden of God. 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 died of illness, leaving the countess Crane Hope Orchid alone … Well, that was not entirely true.
She had a lot of lovers, money, and status. Naturally, she could indulge in sensual pleasures every day and continue to live a happy life — until a year ago.
She was diagnosed by the best doctor in the Empire with an incurable disease. She had less than two years left to live.
After that, she went to many places to find various doctors to treat her illness. But in the end, they all said that they were powerless.
Just when she was about to lose hope, the ancestral Golden Apple came into her field of vision.
If there really was a God, such a small matter would definitely be easily solved.
With this idea in mind, she prepared for more than half a year. She even did not hesitate to expose the fact that she had the Golden Apple to Baron Greenfinch. Baron Greenfinch tried every possible way to take it away.
Finally, after Lauren Claudian successfully reached the top and summed up 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 she had won 200 million, but when she went to redeem the prize, she was told that her lottery ticket was from the previous issue...
Suddenly, a sharp cry of a falcon pierced through the sky. Then, a snow-white goshawk suddenly landed on the shoulder of the strong man in the snow.
The strong man subconsciously took off the note tied to the talon. After taking a look, his expression changed greatly.
"Madam, Duke Greenfinch and his suspected subordinates raided the outpost on the mountainside and took away the material … They may also be coming up!"
Madam Crane Gazing Orchid stopped crying. She gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "If I can't get it, they won't get it either! Prepare to blast the jade, I'm going to give them a big gift! "
