Chapter 273 Arrival at Yuan City!
"Oh... why do I feel that the mountains here have suddenly become difficult to climb?" Mary raised her head and looked at the seemingly endless stone mountains and a small amount of woods around her, and couldn't help but sigh.
Halfway up a steep rocky mountain range, Aislo and Mary were taking a break in the shadow of a huge rock. Not far away from them, a group of little Geodudes were also resting with their eyes closed.
It was the hottest time of the day, at noon. The scorching sun was high in the sky. The scorching heat pierced through the thin clouds like a sharp arrow and poured down, making the earth seem as if it was placed on a huge oven.
Such hot weather is undoubtedly a severe test for both elves and tourists... Perhaps this is one of the biggest disadvantages of summer.
"That means we are almost at Yuan City." Aislo responded while eating candy in his mouth and wiping the dirt off his sneakers.
Yosuga City is located in the central part of the Sinnoh region, backed by steep rocky mountains and dense cedar forests. It is a major transportation route connecting many towns and is also an important commercial center of Sinnoh.
It is worth mentioning that there are many ancient sites on the rocky mountains near Yuanzhi City, so many archaeologists visit here every year, which also provides a cultural feature for the local area.
Not long after, the two people who had rested continued to move forward. It must be said that the steepness of this mountain range is almost as steep as Tianguan Mountain, which makes people wonder how the ancients built so many relics in this mountain range.
[How about I carry you guys over there?] Yveltal was getting anxious as he watched the two people climbing the mountain slowly.
"No need. This is also an experience." Aislo smiled softly. "Besides, maybe we can find some ancient sites that have never been discovered on the road later?"
At this moment, Mary's hiking boots broke a dry branch and stopped. She turned her head to look at Aislo and said, "It seems we really encountered a relic."
"Oh?" Eslo stopped talking to Yveltal and quickened his pace to the girl's side. "It shouldn't be the home of a certain divine pillar, right?"
The young man had reason to ask such a question. They had only seen four ruins along the way, and three of them were related to the sacred pillar. This was really too many.
"It doesn't look like it." Mary shook her head slightly, then stood on the hillside with Eslo and looked down.
There was a small "valley" sandwiched between two hillsides. The valley was overgrown with weeds, and there were tall trees with branches and leaves that "stretched out" the narrow valley. However, it was still vaguely visible that there seemed to be a series of man-made stone steps at the bottom of the valley... Oh, yes, it is not ruled out that this was built by some Pokémon for convenience, but no matter what, this place basically has nothing to do with Reggie's family. After all, no pillar of god would choose such an open-air place when building a home.
Aislo and Mary looked at each other, and without hesitation, they walked directly towards the stone steps below. However, the slope here was very steep, so there was no problem in jumping down.
After hearing the sound of wind passing by his ears, Aislo's feet landed on the ground again. He looked around. The history of these stairs must be very long, but the overgrown weeds showed that this place was basically abandoned except for some small Pokémon that would walk by from time to time.
Looking into the distance, the bluestone steps wind up to the distance where the end is invisible. Each step is engraved with traces of time. The stone surface is mottled with moss, and a few stubborn weeds grow in the cracks. The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the ancient trees, casting mottled light and shadows on the steps, as if telling the stories of countless passers-by over the past thousands of years. The air is filled with the smell of damp soil, and the occasional chirping of insects adds a touch of vitality to the quiet ancient steps.
"Shall we take a walk?" Mary asked as she looked at the path up the mountain paved with steps. She was a little curious about where the stone steps led to.
"I think it's okay. Let's go." Aislo took the lead and walked up the stone steps.
After all, it was a place that had been repaired by humans. Although the road needed to be cleared of branches and boulders that blocked the way, it was still much easier to walk on than the mountain road. After a while, Eslo and Mary arrived at the top of the mountain.
"It looks like this is just a mountain road built by people in the past." Mary looked at the huge city vaguely visible at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed because she had missed an opportunity to explore the ruins.
Seeing that the girl was a little disappointed, Aislo began to change the subject, "Don't worry too much, while it's still early, let's go to Yuanzhi City quickly to eat something and relax... and then watch a movie, how about it?"
"A movie..." Mary's eyes brightened a little, "What do you want to watch? I'll book the tickets on my phone."
"I don't care. As long as you find it interesting, that's fine." Aislo shrugged, indicating that he could accept anything.
"Okay, let me see which movie theaters there are in Yuanzhi City..." Mary murmured softly, and her fingers began to swipe on the screen of her mobile phone. In order to prevent her from falling, Aislo gently held her left hand, and the girl did not struggle at all.
The girl's fair hands were as soft as the petals of flowers that had just bloomed in spring, and their warm temperature seemed to contain all the beauty in the world.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be in love.
Eslo and Mary walked down the mountain.
The way down the mountain is often easier to walk than going up the mountain, and the time consumed is naturally much less than going up the mountain. Before long, Aislo and the others arrived in front of this huge city.
"A place for spiritual communication", "a place for encounters and cultural exchanges", these are the titles of the prosperous city located in front of Aislo and Mari. Shouldering the important task of connecting the east and west of the Sinnoh region separated by Mount Tenko, Yoshino City has always been one of the key cities in the development of the Sinnoh Alliance. Its geographical location is so important and its climate is so mild that it was even rated as one of the "most livable cities" many years ago.
At first glance from outside the city, Yuanzhi City looked like an enlarged version of Baiyang Town. The two looked at each other, then stepped into the city gate. As planned, they went to the Pokémon Center to put their things, and then watched a movie after a big meal.
When Aislo walked out of the cinema, the sky had already darkened slightly.
