Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1271: The Curtain of Time (1)

"… We'll go from north to south and follow the foot of the mountain." Alan chanted the words of the Book of Roddo under the light of the fire, which illuminated his young face. At this moment, his expression was the same as when he was studying at Dawn Academy. He was focused, serious, and eager to learn more from books.

We walked from north to south and along the foot of the mountain. The journey is not pleasant. In the dim snowy plains, snow often overflows your knees. I swear that if your legs and legs get old in the future, it will definitely be the fault of these damn snows. Occasionally, we would stop. At that time, everyone was busy resting. Even if they still had the strength, they could only barely stand and frighten the wandering wild beasts in the distance. I looked up at the ridge that stretched southward on the right side of the team, wondering if it had an end, or if it had reached the end of the world just like that?

More than a month has passed since we started. To be honest, I have no hope for the future of the team. I bet that the place we're walking through is only the edge of the Lost Land. Lord Snan, who is leading the team, always says that we might have to cross the ridge to take a look. Damn it, I hope he doesn't put this idea into action. Walking at the foot of the mountain is already dangerous. Heaven knows what will happen after climbing over mountains and mountains?

Perhaps only Lord Snan survived in the end? That's right, that's what I was thinking. At least at that time, I didn't expect that the strongest person in the team would die. On the contrary, bugs like me that could be crushed to death would survive. This is the interesting part of fate. You never know what will happen tomorrow. It was a mystery, a mystery that could never be solved. --

At this point, Alan couldn't help but swiftly browse. The Baltic named Roddo always liked to waste his time on insignificant things, as if it was much more interesting for him to record these trivial things than the details of his adventures. Of course, if he read it as a travel book, Allen wouldn't mind savoring it carefully. Unfortunately, now, he wanted to know more about the Lost Realm and the woman.

He quickly flipped through a whole page, and Roddy only recorded a quarrel, a complaint about food, and a large part of his psychological narrative. The next two pages were almost identical. Apart from a sudden attack by a wild beast, they recorded the attack patterns of a few mutated beasts, allowing Alan to read them for a few more times.

Fortunately, after turning another page, the expedition made a new discovery.

It took fifteen whole days, yes, fifteen days to see the end of the mountain range. It rises from the north and winds its way southwest. At this point, the majesty of the mountains in the north has long disappeared. The peaks have become low slopes and the mountains have become flat. We have finally discovered the entrance to the depths of the Land of the Lost. At that time, I had already made a very wise decision. That ridge and this gate would definitely be named after me.

In fact, they were the current Roddo Mountains and Roddo Pass.

Yes, the team has already arrived at the Roddo Pass. Originally, I thought that the mission would be over once this team explored this place. After all, the troop had already been reduced, and there were not enough supplies. Even Lord Snan, who was leading the troop, was injured. If I may say so, we'd better turn back. I swear, after following the team for so long, what I did should have paid off that bastard Hawk's gambling debt.

But damn it, Lord Snan actually requested to go deeper. At this time, someone finally couldn't help it. Unfortunately, the strength of the two fellows who didn't agree was very weak. He only quarreled with Lord Snan for two times and then his head was twisted off. This made me realize one thing more clearly. Bedbugs have no right to speak in this land, so I chose to obediently shut my mouth.

That was a wise decision.

After resting for a day, I have to speak fairly for Lord Snan. This Lord is not so eager to explore that he has lost his mind. At the very least, he let everyone rest for a day. I know this isn't a big deal for the readers at the moment, but if you take into account our situation, you will know how extravagant it is to have a day of precious rest.

Praise, my lord.

Actually, I'd like to say something more about what happened during the day. Believe me, it's interesting. However, when I think about what happened after entering the Realm of Legacy, I can't wait to share it with you. It was the best time of my life. Although it only lasted for a few dozen seconds, I still remember this beauty in my heart. It will be engraved in the depths of my soul, if I have that thing.

Anyway, whether we wanted it or not, the Snans chased us out of the warm tent like cattle. We tidied up our supplies, brought our equipment, and passed through this great gate in the dim light. Yes, the Pass of Roddo. It is an important monument for our journey into the Realm of the Forgotten. Predecessors have never been this far away before. We paid a huge price, and under the leadership of a stubborn lord, we crossed this gate.

As I said before, tomorrow is always unknown, a mystery. And now, we plunge into the unknown world, like a blind man crossing a river on a rock. We have no idea what awaits us.

Okay, now I know. It was the Abyss, the Abyss that devoured everything. But if I were given another chance to choose, I would still jump into that abyss without hesitation. Because in the abyss, there was her. --

At this point, Ellen stopped and said, "She? Is that the woman?"

The sound of footsteps rang out. He raised his head and Tracy walked over. Behind her were two soldiers, who had delivered food and blankets. '"It looks like you're going to finish this book today. You're not going anywhere until I'm done, so I asked them to bring food …" Trisley ordered them to leave and spread the blankets for Ellen.

"Thank you, Trisley." Alan was not polite either. Although he was not hungry, he picked up the food beside him out of courtesy and began to eat.

"How is it? Do you see anything useful?" Tracy asked.

Alan nodded and said, "I just read the interesting part."

"Really? Then it looks like I'm disturbing you."

"Nothing. If you like, you can stay and watch it together."

"I can't find a reason to refuse," Trisley smiled and narrowed her eyes.

She laid the blanket and sat down beside Ellen. She held the Book of Roddy and said, "Let me read it to you. You eat. Where are you going? Oh, Roddy Pass … Let me take a look. Let's start here …"

"… Just passing through the gate took us an entire day …"

Trisley's low voice sounded in her ears, as if it came from a very far distance, as if the wind was telling a story from a long time ago. Alan was eating, but he listened with rapt attention, refusing to let go of any details.

It took us an entire day just to get through the gate. This was still passing through the ground. It could be imagined that if it was really as Lord Snan had said, it would take several days even if everything went smoothly. Fortunately, there were no dangers on this day. It was as if the God of Luck was watching us. That fellow Hawk was bitten by a mutated beast a few days ago, and now he could only lie on a stretcher. Poor fellow, Lord Snan said that his legs might not be able to survive, so in the future, perhaps people will call him crippled Hawk? That's not bad. At that time, this bastard won't be able to catch me anymore.

Oh, I shouldn't be so unsympathetic. But the truth is, I don't like that guy. Of course, I don't like anyone on the team. Including Lord Snan, if it weren't for him, perhaps I would be in a happy mood on my way back now. But if he went back at this time, he would never see her again. So life is often full of contradictions, sometimes you want to get something, often have to abandon the other.

After passing through the Pass of Roddo, he walked for more than half a day and passed through a rolling hill. Let me tell you about this hill, it is the most oppressive and gloomy hilly region I have ever seen. I saw it when we came out of the pass. A gray clay bag was piled up on the ground. There was an ice-cold light ribbon floating in the sky. The suppressed cold light was like starlight under the deep night before dawn. Even though the sky of the Forgotten Realm has been dim for many years, no different from the night, it has never given me such a depressing feeling. Especially when the cold light landed on the gray bags on the ground, it was as if I saw a cemetery.

An ancient cemetery.

Since those bags were graves, were there god and demon corpses buried beneath them?

In short, even Lord Snan can't stand the oppressive atmosphere here. We'll use our fastest speed to cross this hilly region. This place should now be called the Dark Hill. Isn't that a good name?

During the three days I spent crossing the dark hills, my heart skipped a beat. Even if nothing dangerous happened, the dangerous atmosphere could not be overcome. Even the wind that blew past the hill made me nervous. Behind those dirt bags, there seemed to be a pair or more eyes staring at me, and I thought more than once that those resentful souls were telling of their misfortune and trying to drag me into the same misfortune.

This is the first time I've ever been troubled by such a rich imagination.

However, looking at the others, it seems that I am not the only one who is worried. Even Lord Snan is much quieter than usual, and he looks to the east more than once when he is resting, where we came from.

I think he may regret it, but the dignity of an expert prevents him from returning. Finally, three days later, we passed through the hills, a flat land spread out beneath our feet, and the other end disappeared into the darkness. Although everyone was tired and tired, everyone wanted to stay as far away from the hills as possible, so the team went on until we saw something strange.

These were some stone strips that were placed in the shape of a gate. This place was now known as the Gate of Sighs. --
