Austin heard what the soldier said and instantly deduced that the city was not ordinary.
The soldiers led Austin into the inner city and walked him around the city.
Although the solider was a guard of the city, he was an old man as compared to the young Austin.
He had been living alone in the city for many years ever since his comrades died in that ferocious battle years ago. He wasn't afraid of shedding blood or standing on the wall for eternity to safeguard his beloved homeland. It was just that sometimes it felt really hard living here because loneliness and depression were his only closest friends and companions in his life.
To his surprise, a young man from the Immortal End World had unexpectedly appeared and added a little energy to the city. His visit livened the city, and he was very glad to have someone to talk to for a while.
"Could that be..."
Austin stared at a distant place from where he was standing. He saw a palace that was surrounded by a surging fairy aura. The palace was brilliant with flickering flames and was almost transparent so one could clearly see its interior.
Austin could vaguely see a few tall figures sitting in the palace. Their bodies were burning in the sea of fire. Their bones were lit, and their blood essence and energy was being released from their bodies. The aura formed by the burnt energy shrouded the city to protect it.
"They were the five leaders of the city. They had been leading the city in the past.
However, they died many years back in battle, but their bodies were still kept in the city after their death. Their bodies have been constantly burning for many years. The heat produced from their bodies protects the city and frightens demons from outside."
The soldier looked at the five
de this land as well. So it's not a strange occurrence."
The soldier seemed composed as compared to Austin who seemed to be astonished with every sentence he uttered.
"You are right. Humans indeed could be found everywhere outside the Immortal End World."
Austin nodded in agreement with the soldier.
Austin followed the soldier and walked around the city for a while.
Generally speaking, the city was in complete ruins in appearance. It was very old and dilapidated.
Because of Austin's arrival, the soldier had an urge to speak. He had probably not seen another human being in a long while and therefore wanted to tell everything he knew to the young man as much as possible.
So they talked a lot on the way.
The conversations between the old man and the young man had made their relationship grow closer within a short period of time.
"Sir, is there any way in the city that I can use to get back to the Immortal End World?"
Austin suddenly asked.
Austin wanted to know the answer because that was the one thing he cared about the most.
"Well to be honest, in the ancient times, the city was situated within the borders of the Immortal End World.
