Chapter 477: Graveyard of the Sun (1)

Before she set off, Shen Yanxiao went to Ye Qing, Yun Qi, and Xie Ling to ask for a leave of absence .

Ye Qing and Yun Qi reacted to her request calmly . However, when Xie Ling learned that Shen Yanxiao wanted more days off, even though she had just restarted her lessons, he almost lost his mind .

Shen Yanxiao quietly snuck away while Xie Ling bombarded her with blame .

She hired a carriage and a wheeler and started her way to the Graveyard of the Sun .

It was a quiet ride . As they went further away from the Black City, the areas along the road were increasingly sparsely populated .

Shen Yanxiao had hired an older man in his 50s to be her wheeler . She had wanted to find someone younger since it was a long and arduous journey . However, most of the wheelers had run away with tails tucked between their legs when they learned of her destination . The old man was the only one who had stayed .

Ancient battlegrounds were often off-limits to the people in the Brilliance Continent . To make the matter worse, the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had only returned from the same destination with such significant losses . Everyone thought that the Graveyard of the Sun as a land of absolute peril, and no one would go there no matter the price .

“Little brother, why are you going to the Graveyard of the Sun?” The wheeler who drove the carriage was called the Crippled Elder . When he was young, he was once a mercenary as well . However, his left leg was wounded in a mission . Therefore, he could no longer further his career as a mercenary and had become a wheeler .

When all his peers were scared out of their wits by the name Graveyard of the Sun, he stayed behind and accepted Shen Yanxiao’s assignment .

“I have some business to attend to there . Don’t worry . You don’t have to send me to the Graveyard of the Sun . You can find a place and wait for me to come back . You can leave if I am not back within ten days . ” Shen Yanxiao sat in the carriage . Since it was a long journey, she was in the mood to chat with Crippled Elder .

“Ah, that is not what I am worried about . You are so young, yet you are heading to such a dangerous place, not to mention that you have a little kid with you . It is not safe . It’s true; I have accepted your assignment . But I am old, and I have gained many experiences in my long life, so please don’t blame an old man for speaking out of turn . Do not go there if you do not have to . ” Crippled Elder tried to talk some sense into Shen Yanxiao as he drove the carriage .

Shen Yanxiao laughed gently .

“Crippled Elder, you are an interesting man . Aren’t you afraid that I would not pay you if we were to go back halfway?”

Crippled Elder replied, “Well, money is good, sure . But I cannot ignore my conscience . You two are so young . You must learn to cherish your lives . ”

Shen Yanxiao said something in return and made it clear that she would have to go to the Graveyard of the Sun .

The old man did not try to persuade her anymore . However, Shen Yanxiao was shocked to hear his next words .

“Never mind me, let’s go if you insist . I just did not expect that I would go back there someday . ”

Taken aback, Shen Yanxiao asked in haste .

“Crippled Elder, what do you mean?”

Crippled Elder kept silent for a moment as if he realized that he had said something he should not have . A few moments later, he slowly said, “My leg was crippled there . ”

The crippled old man had been to the Graveyard of the Sun?

Shen Yanxiao was stunned by that information .

Since he had admitted that he had been to the Graveyard of the Sun, the Crippled Elder decided not to hide any more information . Perhaps it was the distant memories that flashed in his mind when he heard the name of the place that he had once been .
