"Sim."
Standing in front of the ruins, Leon looked at the gradually spreading sand in front of him. He turned around and looked at Adil kindly. "How do you feel?"
"This place seems very old," Adil said softly after raising his head to look at the scenery in front of him.
"That's right," Leon nodded. "This relic is at least 3,000 years old."
"In the past 3,000 years, the original city here has gradually been buried underground. The residents who originally lived here have also begun to migrate, turning this place into a dead land."
"Historical research has shown that this relic was a famous forbidden land 2,000 years ago. It was known as the Lost City, but now, it has begun to decline."
"The Lost City, is this it?" Listening to Leon's narration and looking at the ruins of the city in front of him, Adil muttered to himself.
The Lost City was a legend that had spread far and wide in the Kingdom of Violet Gold.
The ancient city was destroyed overnight, and all the residents in it died. Their souls resided in the city, telling the world about the history and stories of the past.
According to the folklore, this was a city that ordinary people could not find. Everyone who could find this place was either the former owner of this city or someone who was about to die.
This was the world of the dead. Anyone who entered this city would never be able to step into the human world again.
Of course, these were just folklore.
In the past, after reading the various documents that Leon had sent over, Adil had a partial understanding of this Lost City.
In fact, in the past, there were occasionally people who mistakenly entered this city and left their mark in it.
Ten years ago, there was such a record in the Kingdom of Violet Gold.
A team of archaeologists sent by the government was ordered to investigate this area, but they inadvertently mistakenly entered this Lost City. As a result, the entire team was almost wiped out. Only the deputy leader at that time, a young professor, barely managed to walk out of it.
However, in fact, this young professor did not walk out of it alone.
As he recalled these past stories, Leon took out a black and white photo from his chest pocket.
The color of the photo was very monotonous. The photography technology back then was not as convenient as it is today, so the effect of this old photo was not very good.
In the photo, a young man was walking out of a ruined city with a horrified expression. His face was distorted as if he had been frightened by something.
Behind the young man was a black corpse that looked like it had been dried out. It laid there in Silence, and a creepy face was stuck to the young man's neck.
"Heh … the curse of the past, is it going to spread out along the bloodline …"
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Leon kept the black and white photo in his hand and sneered coldly.
"We're here. Sim and I will go in. The others will wait for us."
He looked around. After giving the order, he looked at Ximu. "Ximu, is everything okay?"
"As long as it doesn't take too long, there shouldn't be any problems." Looking back at Leon, Adil roughly understood what he was going to do next, so he nodded without hesitation.
"Let's go then." Raising his head and looking at the ruined city in front of him, Leon took a deep breath, then held Adil's hand and walked forward.
Under the gazes of the people behind them, they walked forward step by step and gradually got closer to the city in front of them.
When they arrived in front of the ruins, the city seemed to know their intentions. It no longer emitted a strong sandstorm, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.
Not long later, they walked in front of a huge city gate.
This city gate was made of stone. It looked very sturdy and huge. It was preserved quite well, and what was left of it was filled with the mottled aura of time.
However, even though the city gate was in good condition, the city walls and pavilions that supported the city gate were only remains. Only this city gate was still standing, as if it represented the last bit of light of the past era.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but standing in front of this city gate, Adil felt that there were a lot of people standing in front of him. Right now, all of them were looking at him, carrying a strange feeling.
He slightly turned his body and looked at Leon who was beside him.
His powerful mental energy allowed him to acutely sense that the blood flow in Leon's body was speeding up. Leon's body was covered in cold sweat, and he seemed to be very nervous.
Sensing Adil's gaze, he came back to his senses and forced a smile. Then, he held onto Adil's hand tightly and walked forward.
As they walked through the city gate, in the eyes of the people who stayed behind, a strange scene seemed to have appeared.
Above the ruins, as the two newcomers entered, the mottled old city gate seemed to have recovered some of its vitality, and it slowly and firmly closed.
Bang …
A clear sound rang out in the surroundings, accompanied by a wave of noise.
"Hey, don't just stand there like a fool."
A voice came from beside his ear, carrying with it a sense of impatience.
Hearing the voice, Adil opened his eyes and was startled.
It was as if he had instantly passed through a different world. At this moment, he was standing in front of a spacious gate.
The gate was made of stone, and it was very similar to the city gate in the ruins, just that there were some slight differences.
The surrounding buildings were the same, and if one looked carefully, they would be able to see that they were similar to the ruins from before.
However, at this moment, the city that had already turned into ruins was once again filled with a lively atmosphere.
Pedestrians walked through the city one after another, all of them were wearing thin clothes as they continuously walked.
Old people were holding onto crutches, children were running around, and women were carrying babies and chatting with their neighbors. It was a lively scene.
"You are still not leaving?" At this moment, an impatient voice sounded out again.
Adil raised his head and saw that in front of him, a young warrior who was wearing rattan armor was standing there. The young warrior looked at him somewhat impatiently, "Are you going in or not? Don't block the path of the people behind. "
"I …" Adil opened his mouth and was about to walk forward.
"Sorry, sorry!" Behind him, an anxious voice suddenly sounded out. Then, a panicked figure scuttled out from behind and instantly ran over and grabbed onto Adil's hand.
"Amri, I finally found you." After firmly grabbing onto Adil's hand, the figure let out a sigh of relief and stopped.
Hearing the voice and looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Adil went into a daze.
The figure could be considered to be tall and big, and the figure was wearing a coarse long gown. At this moment, the figure was holding onto a big bag with his left hand and holding onto Adil's hand with his right hand.
