The group didn’t have any doubts about Parick’s words.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Mount Saint was a belief of the locals. It was worshiped by them and was held in high regard around the world. It should be given its due respect.
Besides, they were all martial warriors. No matter how tall Mount Saint was, it wouldn’t pose a problem to them.
Everyone went up the steps. The brown steps were old and ordinary, exuding a tinge of sorrow.
Parick led the way in front while having a conversation with Dan Taixuan. He treated the steps like he was walking on flat ground.
Suddenly, he turned and smiled at Wang Teng. “Major General Wang Teng, you should be under twenty years old, right?”
“I’m actually twenty-five years old. I’m just growing too slowly and a bit youthful.” Wang Teng solemnly spouted nonsense.
If he hadn’t read information about Wang Teng, he would have believed it!
The pride of Country Xia seemed a little frivolous.
Dan Taixuan rolled her eyes at Wang Teng. This guy was embarrassing his country in a foreign land.
Ren Qingcang, Ji Xiuming, and the others already had nothing more to say to Wang Teng. That sudden act of coy almost made them break their backs.
Parick secretly judged Wang Teng in his heart and laughed, “Major General Wang is really humorous!”
“You’re flattering me!” Wang Teng laughed.
Parick’s mouth twitched as he saw Wang Teng’s happy-go-lucky attitude. This guy was fooling around with him.
“Please introduce us to the myth of Mount Saint. I’m very curious about that.” Wang Teng didn’t care and changed the topic.
Parick’s eyes flashed, and he reacted immediately. He originally wanted to get some information out of him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was led astray by Wang Teng
He smiled bitterly in his heart but kept a poker face as he smiled politely. “Alright. Let me tell everyone about the myth. It starts more than a thousand years ago. It was only folklore in the beginning, but after it was passed down for generations, it became a story that poets and writers recorded down in their poetry, drama, history, philosophy, and other works. These were then compiled into books and gradually became the various myths we have today…”
Ji Xiuming and the others didn’t know much about the origin. As Parick explained, they gradually became enthralled by it.
Myths were manifestations of people’s good wishes. Of course, it was also possible that people had seen and felt something. They then started fantasizing about something that didn’t exist in reality.
Wang Teng had a thought. Could the Gods, Titans, and those mythical beings mentioned in legends be traces left by humongous star beasts or aliens who had once stepped foot on Earth? They were seen by their ancestors, and the encounters were passed down for generations and gradually evolved into myths and legends.
What Wang Teng didn’t know was that in recent years, sentiments like this had already surfaced, and they were welcomed by many.
Everyone continued to climb up. It didn’t take long before they reached the middle of the mountain.
They hadn’t made it to the peak yet!
When they reached the middle, everyone seemed to have stepped into another world. The mountainside in front of them was extremely wide, and it looked like a unique western town.
There were many cultural buildings from different eras here. Those who had studied history would find that these buildings spanned at least a thousand years.
Coliseum, arena, clocktower, colonnades, residences, and other unique western architecture slowly unfolded in front of everyone’s eyes, like a scroll of painting.
No one expected to see such a peculiar sight in the middle of the mountainside. There was a look of surprise in everyone’s eyes.
Wang Teng seemed to have found something and looked at the ground.
The others couldn’t see anything, but his gaze penetrated the ground and found runes hidden underneath.
“I see!” Wang Teng’s mouth arched slightly.
The town was hidden by rune arrays. The things they were seeing now might not be the same things that ordinary people could see.
Wang Teng felt and noticed a faint spatial fluctuation.
The array involved spatial fluctuations!
Wang Teng was amazed as he looked around and came to a realization. No wonder there was such a huge space halfway up the mountainside.
It’s ‘space expansion’!
“Everyone, we are here. The accommodation has been arranged, and you will be staying here tonight.” Parick didn’t know that Wang Teng had seen what was behind the town. Still pleased with himself, he led the way ahead.
As everyone entered the western town, they could feel the bustling atmosphere as people walked about in the lively streets.
This was Wang Teng’s first encounter with foreign customs. He stared around in curiosity and saw many interesting things. Various vendors were crying out. Some sold fruits, and some sold little gifts. The rich aroma of local delicacies wafted through the air… There were all kinds of food, and it was too much for his eyes to feast on.
“Don’t you find it very special?” Parick saw his expression and laughed.
“It’s interesting!” Wang Teng nodded without denying it.
“During the exchange event, you can go for a walk and do a little sightseeing. It will be even more beautiful at night.” Parick smiled. “If you are lucky, all of you might even have a beautiful encounter!”
“Oh!” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up as he wrapped his arm around Parick’s shoulder enthusiastically and said despicably, “Brother Parick, tell me. There must be a perfect place to have beautiful encounters. Please give me some advice!”
Parick was a little stunned by Wang Teng’s sudden behavior. When did he have such a good relationship with this brat?
But Parick couldn’t tell that this brat was the same type of person as him!
He went stiff for a moment. He then relaxed and looked around before whispering to Wang Teng with a smile, “You can go to the Soraka district. It’s a famous shopping district with lively old streets, which are all lined with boutiques, souvenir shops, specialty shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs. There are theaters and museums too… Beautiful girls always love that kind of place.”
Wang Teng’s eyes became brighter as he listened. He couldn’t stop nodding his head as he humbly accepted his senior’s advice.
Beside them, Yan Bo, Zhao Yuanwu, and the others strained their ears, wanting to hear something. Even Ji Xiuming and Mu Zhiguo were attracted to the conversation and seemed to be on the verge of making a move.
The several girls in their group couldn’t help but roll their eyes as they despised these stinky, lustful men.
“The two of you, enough!” Dan Taixuan’s face was dark. These two bastards were having a conversation about this kind of thing in front of them as if no one was around. Did they not exist?
