Book 4: Chapter 4
The Burning Tower
Setting off from the city which was located at the foothill, they spent about two hours to reach Gray Bridge Fort before dusk.
What should we do if we got rejected at the gate—— they harboured such worries, but it was fortunate that the fort commander was Elise’s uncle. Moreover, Elise visited here a few times before, hence the gate guard recognised Elise.
Bastian and Elise entered the fort.
The guard welcomed Bastian and Elise and also expressed his condolences for the death of the queen before continuing leading them through the stone corridor.
Gray Bridge Fort was built on the southern area of the mountain.
Behind it were the mountains, in front of it was a mountain slope.
The left and right side of the fort were rivers.
