The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 600 - 281: The Legendary City

"So you’re also searching for the Relic."

Karen expressed with some lament.

"Also?" Raelia was puzzled.

Karen nodded: "We wouldn’t come to such a godforsaken place for no reason, of course, we’re searching for something too.

Besides the legendary Relic, there’s nothing here to attract people, nearly cost me my life."

Terger spoke up directly: "If your goal is also the Holy City Relic, then we might be heading to the same place."

It seemed their target was indeed the same.

The information Kana provided also mentioned the Holy City Relic.

However, Kana’s information was clearly more precise; the true name of the so-called Relic is.

Grand Sun Temple.

"I thought only the two of us were silly enough to believe in these things, but it turns out you do too."

Karen mocked.

This made Terger sweat, no one talks like that.

But clearly, Raelia and the others didn’t mind.

"In your place, the legend of the Relic isn’t true?"

"Otherwise, why call it a legend?" Karen asked Abis strangely.

Terger quickly interrupted, if Karen kept talking like this, they’d end up chatting the sky down.

"These legends all come from some tribes on the snow mountain, like stories heard often in childhood.

Plus, the West Mountain Range often shows some Relics, though those Relics, big or small, are already dilapidated, leaving only some carved stone slabs and collapsed buildings.

But in the legend, there’s a renowned Holy City atop one of the snow mountains, blessed by the Sun God, the closest place to the sun.

It can receive the God’s blessing; it’s said there are all sorts of Divine Artifacts and treasures."

Anyway, just like that, an eye-catching legend.

As for what’s true and what’s false, it’s already lost its authenticity over the centuries.

"The legend is hundreds of years old, many have gone up the mountain to search, but no one has found anything.

All just relics of shattered stone."

Karen mocked again.

Despite her words, she’s clearly also a believer.

Terger seemed happy to see another believing in the legend, he stood up and patted the nearby stone wall.

"This here is a Relic."

He said, clearing away some lingering snow from the stone wall with his hand.

Only then did the others realize the stone wall had some illustrations eroded by wind and snow.

Clearly resembling a kind of mural.

This might have been part of a building once.

"Based on my understanding and research, the Holy City definitely exists, just hidden by some kind of Magic or peculiar thing.

Do you know the Stone of Creation? Everyone knows it, able to fulfill wishes, yet few can truly use it.

Perhaps the Stone of Creation was used to hide it."

Terger spoke excitedly, continuing to tell the group, clearly he’s been researching this area extensively.

Karen seemed accustomed, not interrupting from the side.

Terger described why he thought the legendary Holy City surely existed.

Because once there was a force or rather a country around the snow mountain.

The surrounding tribes and cities now are descendants of that former nation.

Those larger Relics atop the mountain all have simple records or directions akin to the Holy City. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This showed a Holy City once surely existed and had a crucial role in the nation back then, even a form of belief.

It’s been undiscovered, obviously hidden.

In this world, there are countless peculiar magics and mysterious Powers. With something like Stone of Creation, hiding a city isn’t strange.

Such a sacred place, even the highest standard of construction and concealment makes perfect sense.

Terger spoke of his most rigorous logic.

"From the records of Relics and ancient sites, we can confirm the snow mountain nation was destroyed by some unmatched external enemy.

Amidst the desperation of being unable to resist, hiding their focal point of faith as hope is utterly normal."

Listening to Terger’s narration.

Raelia silently glanced at Abis, the group had a brief exchange of glances.

From the information they obtained, it was clear this man’s guesses were quite accurate.

Moreover, the man explained why he was wandering here, because he believed the Holy City was hidden here.

His speculation here was correct.

This was why Raelia and her group were headed here.

The mountain they were on now was the place where the Holy City was hidden, and the precise location wasn’t far away.

Given some time, this man would surely find the exact spot.

As the group was considering how to handle these two.

Terger straightforwardly said: "You don’t know Red Snow City, must be outsiders.

Sharing our goal but not gathering local intelligence."

For if you gathered intelligence, you couldn’t possibly not know Red Snow City.

As this city is right at the mountainside, the best supply point to ascend this mountain.

Yet the group before us seemed highly skilled and brave, not knowing the city could only mean they came directly from Ice Port, a route without midway supply points.

For those carrying Space Waist Bags and having strong skills, this poses no problem.

Thus we can conclude.

"You surely know where the Holy City is hidden, don’t you? Perhaps you even know how to enter."

Terger’s eyes began to light up.

He knew his statements and current demeanor might put him in danger.

But he couldn’t care less now.

Straightforwardly he said: "I hope you can take me along, I can be useful.

Just let me see the place, let me witness its opening."

Facing the legend, he had given too much, always researching, longing to see this scene, now he had the chance.

Karen watched Terger’s risky words from the side but didn’t stop him.

Clearly she approved his approach.

This time Abis looked towards her sister.

The others also looked at her.

Awaiting the Captain’s decision.

Raelia pondered slightly, and soon decisively nodded.

"Of course, if that’s your dream, then follow along, I hope you can be of some help."

She agreed.

To make such a decision, merely a simple inquiry.

Ask herself, can these two threaten them?

No.

These two seem to hold secrets, could their role be useful to the group?

Yes.

That’s enough.
