The Dasik Mountains, which are separated by the peaks of Oranison and Ellanison, constitute a natural barrier and dividing line between the two countries, different from the vast plains of Otory, most of the land of Ellanison is mountainous forests, and the transportation is not smooth, which in a certain sense leads to the economic development of Ellanison in a backward and slow state for a long time, coupled with the natural environment and cultural differences of poor mountains and bad waters, the people here are extremely strong, and there are conflicts between tribes in the country from time to time, and most of the neighboring countries have maintained disputes and turmoil. If it weren't for the existence of the Dasik Mountains, Elanisson's mountain legions would have swarmed into the rich Ottori, and they would not have cared whether Ottori was neutral or not.

In fact, in the year 1023 of the New Moon, Elanison attempted to send an elite mixed army of mountain vultures across the Dasic Mountains to invade Ottori, but Ellanison was defeated by Ottori and had to sign an armistice and peace agreement.

In addition to the vultures, Elanison is most famous for the well-known mountain mercenaries in Elderland, they are brave and good at war, not afraid of life and death, but the premise is that you pay enough commission to ensure the loyalty of these mountain mercenaries, many countries can see the shadow of mountain mercenaries when waging war, and even most wealthy merchants will choose mountain mercenaries to protect the safety of trade caravans.

A few days later.

The unkempt Sharan and Adrina led their horses to finally cross the Dasik Mountains to reach the boundary of Eranison, the road can be described as difficult, the landslide washed by the torrential rain yesterday almost buried them alive, the only good thing is that they never encountered the shadow of the "Radiant Sanctuary" again, as expected, Xia Lan's misguided strategy worked.

A slightly leveled clearing at the foot of the mountain. The air is filled with the scent of earth and the fresh smell of fog and dew. Xia Lan took out the forage from the void ring and fed it to the horses. Because the next trip needs to work hard again.

"It reminds me of a man here." Winnie, who was resting on a piece of bluestone, suddenly sighed after looking around. "I don't know how she's doing now."

"Are you talking about Pandelia?" Xia Lan said silently.

"Who else is it not her?" Winnie looked sideways at Xia Lan and said, "It's just that compared to now, she is already a high-ranking princess, and we have been reduced to a fugitive who everyone shouts and kills, life is really wonderful - to be honest, have you ever regretted your decision to leave Sisinia?" ”

"Do you regret following me away from the Adria Capital?" Xia Lan asked calmly.

"No, because I've already learned the meaning of leaving." Winnie said: "What I really regret is that I didn't completely break off the relationship with you in Port Louis, and it's better not to see each other." ”

But Herbert, who was the "subversive fang" man, may still be dead in the end. Charland Road. "Sometimes the outcome doesn't change from person to person, it only changes depending on the situation."

"But without your presence. Herbert would not have died. Winnie said.

"Are you still thinking about avenging him?" Xia Lan looked at Winnie and said.

"Yes, though I know I don't have what it takes to kill you." Winnie nodded in acknowledgement.

"Even if you have the power to kill me, you will die before me." Xia Lan said lightly.

"Of course I understand that." Winnie smiled slightly, "Because I have foreseen the day when I die." ”

Adelina was silent from beginning to end, she couldn't interject at all about the communication between Charan and Winnie, she could only listen quietly, she was not an outgoing and cheerful girl, especially after being swallowed by the mysterious thing in Port Louis, her relationship with Charan became completely delicate, maybe she was aware of this problem, but her heart has always refused to accept it.

As for Pandelia, which Winnie said. She didn't know who it was, but she thought it was a beautiful and noble young lady they had met on the road. It sounds like a lot of relationship, but Xia Lan finally chose to leave the other party, indicating that he didn't care about this woman.

She already knew that Xia Lan had an extraordinary background, maybe there was some reason for approaching her in the first place, she was not stupid, and many questions could be detected by thinking about it carefully, but she didn't care, because she loved this man, since the moment he gave up his life to save her, her life will always be involved with this man.

Therefore, even if he had any purpose for himself, she willingly accepted it.

The nearest major city to the Dasik Mountains is called Opole, which can be reached in about two days from now, provided that there are no accidents such as weather on the way.

After a night's rest, Xia Lan and the three of them basically regained their mental strength, and Winnie and Adrina also took advantage of the nearby stream to wash their sloppy bodies, after all, girls always like to be clean.

Early in the morning, they rode on rough and narrow mountain roads, where the horses' speed was severely limited, and sometimes some steep places forced people to dismount and move forward, until late in the evening, when they encountered a slightly flat road, but fortunately the Radiant Sanctuary did not chase them, otherwise they really had no way to escape.

……

……

"Did the tracking fail?"

Joshua accompanied the messenger of the Inquisition, and after listening to Hadid's guilt-ridden report, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Lord Hadid, please tell me more about the situation at that time. ”

Hadid glanced at the adults in the inquisition, and saw that the other party did not make a sound, and seemed to acquiesce to Joshua's question, to which he said truthfully: "Since the beginning of Baldrin's tracking, we have been following the traces left by the murderer when he was a fugitive, but we have never been able to catch up with the other party's fleeing footsteps, even the "Radiance Mark" can not be accurately perceived, and then in a village, we finally found the news that the murderer had stayed for a short time, and chased the murderer north according to the instructions of the villagers, It was only later that we chased Bruska to find out that something was wrong, because we didn't find any traces of the murderers along the way, and finally even their clues disappeared, and then I realized that the tracking had failed. ”

"North? It seems that Lord Hadid, you must have misled the murderer in the direction of escape. Joshua said thoughtfully.

"Alas—" Hadid sighed, seemingly still reproaching himself, "and now we're going to have a hard time finding them!" ”

"Don't worry about that, as long as the 'Radiant Mark' is stored for a day, we will be able to find traces of the murderer sooner or later." Joshua said indifferently: "I have been looking through the information of the murderers these days, and I have found a clue. ”

"What clues?" Hadid curious.

"When the murderers were revealed in Monteres, I found that they had been fleeing eastward, which led me to wonder why they had to go east instead of south and north?" Joshua Road.

"That's true." Hadid pondered for a moment and nodded.

"So I guess they must have a reason to flee east." Joshua Road.

"So the murderer and the others are still fleeing east?" Hadid's eyes lit up.

"As expected, it should be." Joshua Road.

"Words to the East...... Are they going to cross the Dasik Mountains and enter Elanison? It's a country with very complex mountains and rivers, and once people find out, it's very difficult to escape, are you sure they will really flow east? Hadid frowned and wondered.

"Lord Haddie, you seem to have forgotten what Elanison is best known for?" Joshua said lightly.

"Vulture!! Could it be that the reason for their flight east was the vultures? Hades thought for a long time, and suddenly his head flashed and he shouted.

"You're right, it's likely that the murderer fled east because of the vultures." Joshua said: "If the murderers have vultures, it will inevitably increase the speed and efficiency of their escape, and the mountains will not be able to trap them at all, and they can even easily escape our pursuit." ”

Hadid took a deep breath and said, "I hope we didn't guess wrong this time!" The most important thing to do now should be to immediately notify the Templar's personnel in Eranison to begin planning the search! ”

"I have already asked the magistrate of the court to issue a notice." Joshua said calmly.

"What? If you have a plan, why did you just tell me so much? Haddie was stunned for a moment, and then said with some dissatisfaction and annoyance.

"Otherwise, how can the guilt in Lord Haddie's heart be removed?" Joshua said with a nonchalant expression.

Hadid snorted coldly and said, "Then may I ask Priest Joshua, how are you going to arrange for us next?" ”

"Return to Baldrin, of course, and the matter of tracking will be shared between me and the adults of the Inquisition." Joshua Road.

"You?"

Hadid's eyes flickered over Joshua, and then at the silent Inquisition beside him, wondering how Joshua could make the Inquisition so trusted!

"Excellent! Since the lord of the Inquisition had no opinion, he led the members of the Order back with him. ”

"Safe on the road."

Before leaving, Joshua did not forget to say his blessing.

"I also wish you the news of the triumphant return of the arrest of the murderer as soon as possible."

Hadid left, but the resentment in his heart remained.

"Joshua, before I left, Boleyn asked me to take care of you, and I listened carefully to your opinion in everything, and now it seems that Boleyn is indeed not wrong, and you are indeed a very good clergyman."

The inquisitioner, who had not said a word, finally spoke.

"My lord, you are praising it, you are just doing your job well." Joshua was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Next we are going to Opole, where we hope we will get good news about the murderer." (To be continued......)
