The edge of that incomparably magnificent bridge was also stained with Ugin, but at the same time, the speed of the Son of God's netting was also increasing, and the fragile balance could be broken at any time.
According to this progress, after the balance is broken, it will take less than a week before the other end of the bridge will be connected to the cliff.The endless sea of spiders under the white mist and that being will pass through this bridge connecting the world and reach the territory of the Snow Country.
More and more cold spiders burst through their hard shells, and their mucus-covered joints and wings began to stretch. This creature did not have eyelids, but as they gradually adapted to the light, their compound eyes shed a layer of gray like rock. The thin films and the combined lavender light turn the entire bottom of the abyss into an ocean of light!
The way they came from has been broken, and it is impossible to go back along the original way, and the Shantak Bird can only return with nearly a hundred people at most.
The guard knight Cohen drew his sword abruptly, and the guard knights directly under the court mage took a step forward!
"This is the place where our bones are buried. May the Kingdom of Snow last forever!"
When the Shantak bird rose from the ground, Cohen turned his head, and his eyes made contact with the king for a short moment. This was the first time he met his own king's eyes.
"Also for...the Excellency whom I respect the most."
In this short moment, he read the acquiescence in the old man's eyes.
So the knight turned around and swung his sword, causing an insignificant splash in the vast ocean.
The shantak's wings whip into hurricanes, leaving spider webs and debris behind. Their huge bodies seem very small in the vast environment of the abyss.
It takes more than a week to reach the heights on foot, but only a few hundred people have successfully returned to the ground.
-
The Honorable Earl, who was ordered to be stationed here, stood up. He also received news that he was safe this morning, but the number of people returning was far less than he expected!
The king returned to the back of the horned deer and announced the order to return to the capital of Wendel.
The Honorable Earl quickly assembled the army according to the order, but his body and mind were already filled with intractable questions.
He looked around the team and planned to ask the court mage who had a good relationship with him.
"Master Your Excellency?"
The team hurriedly recovered the supplies and prepared to return, but no one responded.
-
Ayla picked up a sturdy wooden stick from the stone steps and used it as a crutch to keep going up.The owner of the stick has turned into a dead bone, and he died on the road to heaven for unknown reasons.Ella picked up the crutches of her predecessors without much burden.
Their daily actions become monotonous and repetitive, going up, eating, sleeping, and the cycle repeats.
At first, the soreness in my legs and knees has eased a lot recently, as if I have adapted to the rush, which makes my feet easier.
This is the only happy change.
As the altitude rises, the stairs of Aiteni Mengnanki have completely disappeared into the clouds, and there is only a small area left for observation.
All that remains of the world are the clouds and the steps under our feet.
The special environment accelerates the fatigue of the spirit. If the three of them are not walking together, the loneliness will drive people crazy.
Even so, their communication is still unconsciously decreasing. At this altitude, the air is thin and breathing becomes difficult. Communication means that more air and energy are consumed.
The repetitive sights made time confusing. The road in the thick fog made Ella feel familiar, but she couldn't remember where this strange sense of familiarity came from.
She vaguely remembered who she should have walked through a similar place with... The silent road shrouded in white mist was like an illusory dream. When did that happen... She I can’t remember anymore.
The feeling of exhaustion made her break away from her fantasy. Ella shook her head and looked up to the heights. The stone stairs continued to spread endlessly upward and disappeared into the depths of the clouds.
"This is the first few days."
When they stopped on a platform and began to rest, Ella asked in a statement tone, which was the second sentence she said today.
Ashley thought about it, and took out a flat stone. There were notches on the stone cut by the dagger. She would leave marks on the stone at the end of every day. She counted them and answered:
"Counting from our departure, this is the ninth night."
"Nine days..."
Ella had blankets laid out on the ground, making it more difficult to start a fire in these conditions.
There is no need to worry about the water source. The mantra can generate clear water, and there is also thick snow on the steps. It only needs simple heating to obtain inexhaustible pure water.But relatively, the space of the backpack and the load-bearing capacity of the person are limited, and there is not much food left so far.
Although they are already very frugal, there will be a day when they will be exhausted.
Ashley took out a few small pieces of bread and bacon and handed them to the other two, saying:
"There is only one day's worth of food left."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and reached back into her bag, and then took out a bitten, shriveled, and wrinkled ordinary apple.
Lily looked back and felt that this was really good news, but...that apple looked familiar to her. She should have seen this ordinary apple somewhere.
After spending a lot of effort, the firewood that had been dried during the day was ignited, and the snow in the iron pot melted into water, which soon began to gurgle.
Lily broke the small piece of bread into strips and placed it on the edge of the iron pot to absorb the white steam. The fluffy and enlarged bread would give people the illusion that they had eaten a lot, but the portion actually did not change.
She muttered to herself:
"I don't know what's going on on the ground. In nine days... Your Majesty, they should have reached their destination, right?"
Ella fiddled with the bonfire and replied like this.
"Who knows..."
-
The night ended quickly, and the little food left was completely used up the next morning. The continuous upward movement was very exhausting, and the small breakfast was quickly digested, and the hunger became impossible to ignore.
For this, Ayla used the power of the Ten Commandments for the first time on the Altmunan Key Stairs, she used the first ring to keep them from starving, but it was nothing more than a false sense of satisfaction, not hard to replace the body needs.
But one day later, the environment in front of them finally changed.
-
The long stone steps passed through the thick clouds, and a broad stone platform appeared in front of them. The white clouds disappeared, and the world became open again.
They finally arrived, and Ella took out the incomparably precious invitation card from her pocket. She was very excited and her body was trembling slightly.
Under this square-like platform is a sea of thick clouds.
The orange sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the large clouds red, and finally sank under the sea of clouds.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, nothing changed on the platform.
On this stone platform, bones belonging to humans or immortal species are scattered here and there - this is the so-called end of the pilgrims.
The road to the sky has come to an end. As the night falls, a huge moon appears above the platform. It is so close that it seems within reach, but it is so far away that it is desperate.
No grand palaces, no wonders to awe, nothing—
The form of invitation that Ella held tightly slipped down on the platform, and a gust of cold wind blew through, and the thin parchment was rolled up.
Ella stretched out her right hand tiredly, but failed to touch it. She planned to chase forward, but stopped because it seemed to be completely meaningless.
But this time-
The invitation form was firmly held by a big rough hand with clear bones, and an illusory shadow was gradually outlined in the void above the platform.
The envoy with wings on his back appeared above the platform, and he stepped on the platform barefoot, with a gentle tone:
"I have received the letter of invitation."
Chapter 72 The Angel's Reception
The moonlight was bright, and God made the figure standing against the backlight blurred, and only a black outline could be seen clearly.
Lily Bell and Ashley Chevalier had involuntarily knelt on the ground. This was the instinct of life, and it was also the etiquette that should be observed when meeting superior beings in the Kingdom of Snow.
That indescribable sense of familiarity arose in Ella's heart again, and she forgot about the mystical, the fear, the etiquette, and everything she had ever learned.
The girl raised her head and looked directly at the angel in front of her.
But even at a distance not far away, she couldn't see each other's face clearly.
The normal sight was covered by the moonlight, and the originally very soft light became dazzling at such a close distance, which made her eyes sore and almost shed tears.
In the spirit vision, the human figure and wings in front of her were divided into countless huge light spheres connected at the end, and her consciousness was passively accepting the knowledge that would push her into destruction.
As long as this state lasts for a few seconds, it will cause irreversible damage. Although her instincts are screaming for danger, Ayla has no intention of withdrawing her spirit vision.
This didn't match her personality, but the girl couldn't think about the consequences at this moment, she vaguely felt that she would lose something irreplaceable after closing her eyes.
At this time, the angel gently shook the gray robe, and Ella got rid of this dangerous state.
The scene in her spiritual vision was covered with a layer of gray mist, and the posture of the envoy was hidden in the mist, becoming more blurred and distant.
"Don't try to explore taboos."
This tone of voice brought back more vague memories, and I almost had an answer that was ready to come out, but I couldn't remember it.
The divine messenger's gentle tone did not change. He clapped his palms, and a huge shadow immediately blocked the moonlight. It was some kind of huge dragon-shaped creature, and the luxurious dragon carriage that they dragged was like a palace.
"Are you—"
Before Ella could speak, the four-winged envoy stretched out his palm and interrupted her follow-up words.
"This is not important... Distinguished guests, you must be very tired now. Please have a good rest before meeting my Lord."
The gilded gate of the dragon chariot slowly opened, and the words of the envoy contained some very wonderful power, which was somewhat similar to the rules of the Ten Commandments, and the bodies of the three entered the gate almost uncontrollably.
The divine envoy did not enter the dragon chariot. His body floated upwards and then landed on the back of the dragon-shaped creature.The reins, which were as thick as arms, seemed to be pulled by invisible hands, and they dragged the dragon chariot into the sky.
The environment inside the carriage was more spacious than imagined. If it wasn't for the rapidly receding figure outside the crystal window, Lily almost felt that she was staying in the castle hall of a certain nobleman.
Gold and gems of various colors are like the cheapest materials, they are inlaid or paved on the ground and walls.
Artistic charms, paintings, and long curtains are hung in all directions.The chandelier above presents a halo of magic power. Green crystals and fine emeralds are hung under the purple-gold lamp holders, and they collide with each other to make crisp sounds.
The maids with metallic skins stood on both sides of the long table. Their bodies seemed to be a kind of flowing soft metal, somewhat similar to mercury, but completely different.
Their movements seem to have a subtle sense of incongruity. If you observe carefully, you will find that imperceptible silk threads extend upward from their joints and disappear in mid-air. This is the source of the incongruity.These eccentric maids are nothing more than marionettes, with an invisible puppeteer directing their actions behind the scenes.
The puppet maids led the three of them to the long table without any explanation, and beckoned them to sit down.On the long table, there are exquisite foods from all over the world on the silver plate, smoked ham, pan-fried fish, steaming lamb... In the golden wine glass is red wine pulp with rich fruity aroma.
During the last three days on the steps of Edmonnankey, they had barely eaten, and after the force of the first commandment had worn off, the hunger became uncontrollable.
After a long time, Lily sighed contentedly, and she covered her face with a silk napkin somewhat embarrassedly.Because of excessive hunger and fatigue, her actions just now seemed a bit inappropriate.
It was then that she noticed that Ella had barely eaten.
