Chapter 38 The Road to Heaven


    ?Legends say that there is a staircase leading to the sky at the White Cloud Peak not far away. As long as you can walk on that road, you can reach the mysterious Sky City...


    Does it sound very artistic?


    In fact...


    “To be honest, I really doubt this thing is made up to defraud money.”


    Looking at the bustling town at the foot of the mountain, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless and complained.


    No wonder he said that, just look at the signs.


    "Sky City Staircase Search Tour", "Mysterious Sky City Relics Exhibition", "One Hundred and Eight Stories You Don''t Know About Sky City"......


    ??Had it not been for the "City in the Sky" mission that was triggered when he inquired about this news from the tavern, Duanmu Huai would have really thought that this was just a story used to swindle money.


    ?It’s like traveling to the Flaming Mountains and encountering something like the “Shuiliandong Classic Tour Route”.


    The problem is that Water Curtain Cave is not in the Flame Mountain either.


    “…Forget it, just go and have a look.”


    ? With the idea that idleness is also idle, Duanmuhuai took Ojis into the "Sky City Relics Exhibition" museum in the town, wanting to see what was in this sky city.


    However………


    "This is the sword that suddenly fell from the sky one day! It continued to be powerful and even penetrated the head of an unlucky guy!"


    ?This is just a high-altitude projectile! Don''t you want to find the murderer?


    “Legend has it that this is a cup used by the residents of Sky City. Sky City will regularly spread these blessings to the world. It is our duty to collect them!”


    ?This is just an ordinary cup, right? Also, is it true that throwing garbage from the sky is real? If it is true, then the quality of the residents of this sky city is not very good.


    After looking around patiently, Duanmuhuai said that this was just a garbage expo.


    ??As long as they haven’t fossilized poop, they still have some conscience.


    “Forget it, let’s go straight up the mountain.”


    ?Although Duanmuhuai did not see the existence of any Sky City on the satellite scan, since the system triggered the mission, it means that there must be a Sky City here.


    Of course, there is also a one-day tour of the "Stairway to the Sky City" in the town, but it is on horseback, and Duanmu Huai''s figure is obviously not suitable for riding, so he took Ojis directly along the mountain road and walked up the mountain step by step—— He didn''t even find a guide. After all, those guys who only made up stories and talked nonsense about trains probably wouldn''t be able to provide him with any useful clues.


    Fortunately, there is only one way up the mountain, so Duanmuhuai is not afraid of taking the wrong road.


    Of course, he was not the only one going up the mountain. Along the way, Duanmuhuai also saw many guys wearing armor and carrying long swords, dressed like knights. Some of them were riding horses and some were on foot. Obviously, they were all here to look for the legendary "Sky City".


    “So, you are all here to find Sky City? Does this have anything to do with your trial?”


    As he walked, Duanmuhuai chatted with a knight on horseback next to him - idleness was idleness, just like chatting when traveling to Mount Tai and Huangshan.


    “Of course, a stranger.”


    ??And this knight is also a talkative person. Although Duanmuhuai looks scary with his helmet on, there are so many people here, and he is not afraid of the other party suddenly making a move, so they start chatting.


    “It is rumored that the City in the Sky is a sacred city that only knights with integrity can enter. As long as we can enter the city and receive blessings, we can show our power and glory!”


    “So, has anyone ever succeeded?”


    Duanmu Huai asked curiously. There was some basis for this rumor. It was impossible to just open his mouth. "It is rumored that the Green Knight, the patron saint of Bretonnia, once went to the City in the Sky under the guidance of the Lady of the Lake. His armor and weapons all came from that city!"


    “Oh, that’s it…”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why all these knights were so excited. After doing this for a long time, they all wanted to be the second Green Knight.


    ??But what’s wrong with being a Green Knight? He’s green from beginning to end. He doesn’t know how many times he’s been greened before he becomes like this... If he were to be replaced by Duanmu Huai, he would never do it.


    It didn’t take long for everyone to arrive near the top of the mountain. They scattered and looked for clues everywhere. Obviously, they were not stupid. After all, the sky here was cloudless and there was not even a ghost in the sky. But people in the magical world have strong receptivity. It is obvious that the city in the sky is probably in another world, so what they are looking for now is the way to get to that world.


    I have to say, these people are not stupid either.


    ?But unfortunately, they are unlikely to find it.


    Duanmu Huai did not get together with these people. He looked around, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes.


    Start up, soul resonance!


    The next moment, the world in front of Duanmuhuai immediately changed, and the surroundings became illusory and confused. Then soon, Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain - on the sharp top where almost only one person could stand, a slender The stairs lead straight into the sky and lead to the pure BC city located on the top of the mountains, floating in the sky.


    Found you!


    ?Seeing this scene, the corners of Duanmu Huai''s mouth curled up slightly, and then he asked Ogis to sit on his shoulders. Then Duanmu Huai came to the front, stretched out his hand to grab the stone, and began to climb the rock in front of him.


    Duanmuhuai''s actions naturally attracted the attention of others, but they didn''t think much about it. After all, there is only a platform the size of a person on the top of the mountain. Everyone has already explored it and found nothing on it. They thought that this burly black guy just wanted to go up and see the scenery. Some people were even worried that he would trample the top platform - that place couldn''t withstand this black guy''s torment!


    However, just when everyone started looking for clues again, suddenly, a voice sounded.


    “Hey? Where is the black knight?!”


    Hearing this scream, everyone was stunned and hurriedly raised their heads and looked up. They saw that the top of the mountain platform not far away was empty and there was not a single person. The burly black knight from before just disappeared. Got it!


    Where has he gone? Could it be that he fell from the mountain?


    Of course Duanmuhuai did not fall. In fact, he was walking among the clouds now.


    “Whew…this place is really not friendly to people with acrophobia.”


    ?Walking on the stairs and looking around, Duanmuhuai sighed secretly in his heart. This is a staircase that is almost three people wide. The entire part looks as transparent as glass. Walking on it, Duanmu Huai can''t help but think of the high-altitude glass corridors in many scenic spots. What''s even worse is that there are no handrails next to this step. If you don''t step on the right foot, your body will slip... and then fall directly.


    This place is really not accessible to ordinary people.


    It''s a good thing those knights didn''t find them, otherwise a few of them might have been killed.


    ?Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai raised his head again and looked at the sky city in front of him.


    ??This is not so much a city as a mountain floating in the sky. The front half of the mountain was hollowed out to create a massive fortress with semicircular walls and platforms. In the innermost part, there is a pure white high-rise building built against the mountain. The entire Sky City is filled with a peculiar atmosphere and charm from a mysterious civilization.


    It’s not the architectural style of the ancient saints. Where did this thing come from?


    ?While carefully looking at the sky city in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also puzzled. In fact, a long time ago, many Soul Walker players discovered that there were many scenes that existed in the soul fragments, but they could not find the corresponding records and records in reality. It''s as if the world they found in the soul fragments never existed in this world at all.


    Therefore, some players have put forward a hypothesis, that is, this planet may have been destroyed more than once. Before the Ancient Saints and the others arrived on this planet, maybe this planet once had another powerful civilization environment, which later perished for some reason. Then the ancient saints came here and created species such as elves, dwarves and humans...


    I have to say that this assumption is still very marketable.


    As for what it is like...just go and see for yourself and you will know!


    ?At the same time, Duanmu Huai also stepped onto the last step and arrived at the gate of Sky City.
