The bright afternoon sun shone down on the Holy City. A gentle breeze blew through the quiet yet busy streets. The people coming and going flowed through the streets like flowing water. This tranquility was in stark contrast to the plague that had broken out a few months earlier.
People who experienced the plague seem to have become extra cherishing of the current situation. Even after several months, they still have smiles of survival on their faces.
Perhaps this is why the plague wasn’t actually the scariest thing, but those who experienced it firsthand still feel a lingering fear!
Seeing those 70,000 to 80,000 people dying in one place, waiting for death to come, is something that no one will ever forget, ever!!
Of course, all of this has passed, and things have come to a perfect end. Now all we have to do is learn from it!
At this very moment, the Holy City, a place that usually saw very few people, was now unusually bustling. This situation wasn't actually due to the previous plague. Although the plague had attracted many officials from the Ella Empire, it wasn't the cause of the current situation; it wasn't even remotely related!
The main reason why the Holy City has become so lively is because of a grand event that is about to be held, the mainland school ranking competition!
Originally, the name of this qualifying tournament would attract the attention of the entire continent, and many people would come to watch the qualifying tournament with different purposes. The flow of people in the local area would increase dramatically before and after the competition.
And this time, something is happening in the Holy City, so there will be even more people coming!!
The Holy City is the most mysterious and sacred place on the continent. It is a place where many people want to make a pilgrimage, but this place is not open to the public. Apart from the believers working in it, only senior clergymen of the Holy Church or special guests can enter, so ordinary believers basically have no chance to enter for pilgrimage.
This time, the Holy City was temporarily open to the public because of the qualifying tournament. This attracted a large number of believers and curious people from all over the continent, all wanting to climb the Holy Mountain and enter the sacred Holy City!
At this time, the Holy City has not yet opened. All those who come here can only wait in the cities below. Therefore, the several subsidiary cities at the foot of the Holy Mountain now feel a bit overcrowded!
At this moment, a group of people arrived and joined the crowd. Although this group of people seemed extraordinary, they were also drowned out at this time. At this moment, even if there were not so many people here, there were many non-Dan people in the Holy City, and there were even more at this time, so no one would notice their existence.
There weren't many of them, only about a dozen or so, both men and women, mostly around twenty years old. They were led by a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and muscular build, proving he was quite the strongman!
Ahem, muscles don’t necessarily mean you’re a skilled athlete, but they definitely mean you have strength!!
Among these boys and girls, the boys are handsome and the girls are beautiful, and the three girls, especially one of them, is even more beautiful. In the words of the people in the Holy City, she is so beautiful that even if the Saint is with her, she will not be too inferior! ! Baidu Dawn Decadence Update In the Holy City "The Saint can be said to be the most beautiful representative. Although they have only heard of her or seen her portrait and have never seen her in person, the more this is the case, the more they imagine the Saint to be perfect.
Of course, perhaps what they imagined might be underestimated, after all, the Saint had never appeared and had always been a legendary existence.
Therefore, although this group of people looks like an ordinary crowd, they have attracted some people's attention. However, this is actually not a lot. At this time, everyone is busy and does not have much leisure time to look at beautiful women.
The three girls didn't care about this. They were already tired after the long journey and now they just wanted to find a place to have a good rest. If there was nothing else important, they would definitely do so.
"Chen Ru..." the strongman leading the team shouted and frowned. He still felt a little strange about the name.
If this name is just a nickname, people would be more accepting of it, but this is really a person's real name, not a nickname, which makes people feel very funny.
The boy called Chenpi was wearing coarse linen clothes and had dark and rough skin. He was in stark contrast to the boys and girls around him, making people feel that he should not be a part of this group.
Among this group of boys and girls, none of them are commoners. At least in terms of clothing, they all look like aristocrats. Although they don’t seem to be nobles, at least they are not like Chenpi.
It seems impossible to say that Chenpi might like to dress like this, or just do it for fun, because the aura he exudes is that of a simple peasant, which is far from that of an aristocrat.
However, such an aura would not make people look down on him. At least at this time, no one in this group looked down on Chenpi. Instead, they had an inexplicable respect for him.
"Yes, I'm here! I'm not asleep, I'm just dozing off..." Chenpi said, scratching his head.
"No one said you fell asleep. Even if you did, no one would blame you," the strong man said weakly.
"Then what do you want me to do? Is there anything you want me to help you with?" Chen Pi said honestly. To him, when others called him, they were usually scolding him or asking him to do something.
"You Chenpi, look where we are now? We have reached the Holy City!" The strongman leader frowned. At the same time, he pointed to the holy mountain in front of them so that Chenpi could see it clearly.
"Ah, we're here?! Then I'll go find the miracle doctor right away. My mother's illness depends on him!" Chen Pi replied immediately, and went into the carriage, picked up a frail old woman, and carried her on his back.
Needless to say, this old woman is the "my mother" that Chen Pi mentioned, his old mother! !
Chenpi's mother looks very old, giving people the feeling that she should be Chenpi's grandmother rather than his mother. Perhaps this is because she is seriously ill!
"Xiao Pi, what's wrong? Where are we going?" The old man actually didn't know they had arrived, and asked, but his tone was very weak.
In the sunlight, the old man's body looked very weak, and his sickness was also exposed.
