We continued to walk through the ruins for a while after we escaped from the cliff, and we had to fight the apins in groups a few times, but there were some that we managed to sneak past.
And then there were the trolls... They gave us a lot of trouble because if we tried to fight even one of them, its roar would draw the attention of every creature in the ruins.
And now, in front of us, there was a broken structure that looked like a huge entrance gate, half of which had broken off and collapsed on the ground. It felt like we were entering a huge garden.
"Look, they opened the entrance for us in advance. Well, we could have ignored it and walked past it, but... courtesy is courtesy."
With a smile on my face, I approached the huge door, empty in the middle because it was broken. Alex was cautious, peering around every corner.
"This is no time for jokes."
"If we're always serious, we'll be old men, Alex! Keep your inner child on the surface for a while."
