Wizard Immortal

Chapter 392 The Lost City

"Sim".

Standing before the ruins, watching the sandstorm gradually engulf him, Leon turned around and looked kindly at Adir: "How do you feel?"

"This place seems very ancient." After looking up at the scenery before him for a while, Adir murmured.

"That's right." Lyon nodded. "This ruin is at least three thousand years old."

"Over three thousand years, the original city here was gradually buried underground, and the original residents began to migrate, turning this place into a desolate wasteland."

Historical research indicates that this site was a famous forbidden area as early as two thousand years ago, known as the Lost City, but now it has begun to decline.

"Is this the Lost City?" Adir murmured to himself as he listened to Leon's account and looked at the city ruins where the remains were still faintly visible.

The Lost City is a legend that is widely circulated in the Kingdom of Purple Gold Flower.

An ancient city was destroyed overnight, and all its inhabitants perished. Their spirits now dwell above the city, telling the world about its past history and stories.

According to folklore, this is a city that ordinary people cannot find. Anyone who can find it is either a former owner of the city or a person who is about to die.

This is the world of the dead; anyone who enters this city will never be able to return to the human world.

Of course, these are just folk tales.

Over the past period, having read various documents sent by Lyon, Adir had gained some understanding of the information about this lost city.

In fact, in the past, there have been occasional people who have stumbled into this city and left their mark on it.

There was such a record in the Kingdom of Bauhinia ten years ago.

A team of officially dispatched archaeological experts was ordered to investigate this area, but they accidentally stumbled into this lost city, resulting in the near death of the entire archaeological team, with only the then deputy team leader, a young professor, managing to emerge from it.

However, in fact, this young professor did not emerge from it alone.

Recalling these past stories, Leon took out a black and white photograph from his breast pocket.

The colors in the photo are monotonous, and the shooting technology back then was not as convenient as it is now, resulting in a poor quality old photo.

In the photo, a young man with a terrified expression is seen quickly walking out of a ruined city, his face contorted in shock, as if he has been frightened by something.

Behind the young man, a completely black, seemingly dried-out corpse lay silently, with a bizarre and terrifying face pressed against the young man's neck, as if glued there.

"Ha... Will the curse of the past spread through my bloodline...?"

Looking at the ruins before him, Leon put away the black and white photograph in his hand, sneered, and then looked up at what lay before him.

"We've arrived. Sim and I will go inside; the rest of you will wait for us."

He looked around, then, after giving the order, looked at Sim: "Sim, is everything alright?"

"As long as it doesn't take too long, there shouldn't be any problems." Looking back at Lyon, Adir had a general understanding of what he was going to do next, so he nodded without much hesitation.

"Let's go then." Leon looked up at the city, which resembled ruins, took a deep breath, and then took Adir's hand and walked forward.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd behind them, they walked forward step by step, gradually approaching the city ahead.

As they approached the ruins, the city seemed to sense their intentions, ceasing its intense sandstorms and instantly silencing the surroundings.

Before long, they arrived at a huge city gate.

The city gate is made of stone, looks very sturdy and huge, and is relatively well preserved, with the remaining body full of the mottled atmosphere of time.

However, although the city gate is intact, the city wall and pavilion that were paired with the gate are now just ruins. Only the city gate still stands, as if representing the last glimmer of the past era.

Whether it was a misperception or not, standing before this city gate, Adir felt as if many people were standing on the opposite side, watching him with an eerie air.

He turned slightly to look at Leon beside him.

His powerful mental strength allowed him to keenly sense that Leon's blood was flowing faster and that he was sweating profusely in many places, as if he was very nervous.

Noticing Adir's gaze, he snapped out of his reverie, forced a smile, then gripped Adir's hand tightly and walked forward.

As they entered the city gate, a strange scene seemed to unfold in the eyes of those who remained behind.

On the ruins, as the two newcomers entered, the old, mottled city gate seemed to regain some vitality and slowly but firmly closed.

Bang···

A crisp sound slowly rang out from all around, accompanied by a burst of noise.

Hey, don't just stand there like an idiot.

A voice came from beside my ear, carrying an impatient tone.

Hearing the sound, Adir opened his eyes and was then stunned.

It was as if he had instantly traveled to another world; he was now standing inside a spacious gate.

The gate was made of stone and was very similar to the city gate on the ruins, with only minor differences.

The surrounding buildings are similar; upon closer inspection, one can see some resemblance to the previous ruins.

However, at this moment, the city, which had been reduced to ruins, was once again filled with a lively atmosphere.

Pedestrians walked through the city, wearing only thin clothing, constantly moving about.

An elderly man with a cane, children running around splashing sand, and women chatting with neighbors while holding babies—it was a lively scene.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" At this moment, an impatient voice rang out again.

Adir looked up and saw a young warrior wearing rattan armor standing in front of him, looking at him with some impatience: "Are you going in or not? Don't block the way for the people behind you."

"I..." Adir opened his mouth, about to walk forward.

"Sorry, sorry!" A hurried voice suddenly rang out from behind, and then a flustered figure darted out from behind and instantly grabbed Adir's hand.

"Amri, I've finally found you." Holding Adir's hand tightly, the figure seemed to breathe a sigh of relief before stopping.

Hearing the voice and seeing the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Adir was stunned.

This was a fairly tall figure, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, carrying a large bag in his left hand and holding Adir's hand in his right.

However, what stunned Adir was the man's appearance, which bore a striking resemblance to Coral, almost like twins.
