Tribal chaos and banditry are rampant, which can be said to be a true portrayal of the territory of Elanison, and there are many reasons for this, but the root cause of the conflict is a matter of naked interests.

In 583 of the New Moon, the unification of the land was successfully completed by the marriage and warfare of the powerful Julius Guò from the Grogan tribe, and since then the Eranisson dynasty has been established, and under the leadership of successive generations of kings, it has continued to expand its territory, and even became the most powerful state west of the continent of Elderland.

However, the power of Ellanison did not last long before it fell into decline, the first of which was that the tribes conquered by Julius by force rebelled one after another due to land disputes, and the domestic situation was divided in an instant, and in desperation, the Erranison royal family chose a bloody suppression that lasted for more than ten years to stabilize the rule of the dynasty, so the Hellanison dynasty had no strength to resist the surrounding enemy countries that took advantage of the weakness, and retreated in a defensive posture until a hundred years later.

Recasting the glory of the ancestors has always been the vision of the royal family of Elanison, but the bloody suppression of the rebellious tribes has separated the various tribes from the royal family, and although the kingdom remains unified on the surface, it is difficult to enforce the decrees among the tribes, especially the growing tribal conflicts that have spread throughout Eranison, and even the countless kings and ministers have not been able to effectively solve this problem.

The rise from power to overnight collapse has always been the subject of study by historians, because the process happened too quickly and suddenly, and one of the more convincing mainstream views is that the neighboring countries that were afraid of the rise of Elanison secretly sent a large number of spies to sow discord among the major tribes in the country. Divisive incitement. The result was the collapse of Elanison.

After a few days of trekking. In order to avoid the influence of the "Radiance Mark" on Adelina's body, Xia Lan, who did not dare to get too close to Opole, found a secret place to settle down, and prepared to go to Opole alone to plot the vultures.

"I've observed the surrounding mountains and forests, it's inaccessible, even medicine pickers and hunters are hard to find, and even if you meet these people, I'm sure you can hide yourself well."

In front of a cave covered by vines. Charan spoke to Adelina and Winnie.

"Think about the worst in everything, IMHO, what if we accidentally get detected by the Radiant Templar?" Winnie said solemnly.

"The lessons I learned last time in Valdrin have already made me think about this." As he spoke, Xia Lan took out a map from the void ring and threw it at the other party, saying, "On this map, I have marked the specific route to Salanya in detail, once we are separated due to accidents, you don't have to pay attention to me, you can go directly to the final rendezvous place, Wahran and wait for my news, I will find you." ”

"Wahran? I'll take a look at ......" Winnie carefully looked at the map in her hand, and after a while she said, "The map shows that Wahlan is on the border with Granmussen, and there are two principalities separated from Elanison. With such a long distance, do you think we have the ability to break through the many barriers and escape here safely? ”

"I believe Adelina has the ability to do so, in the worst case. Adelena: Can you choose to abandon Winnie and run alone? Halfway through speaking, Charan turned her gaze to Adrina.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Are you going to abandon me so lightly? Winnie cried out dissatisfied.

"You seem to have forgotten something." Xia Lan looked at Winnie and said calmly: "The Radiant Sanctuary is wanted by me and Adrina, in a sense, you are an innocent hostage we have taken, even if you fall into the hands of the Radiant Sanctuary, I believe they will not do anything to you, and you will even be completely freed at that time." ”

Winnie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at herself: "Hehe, I was wrong, I forgot my hostage identity after being with you for a long time, and almost thought that I was a fugitive like you." ”

"Xialan, how long do you expect to spend in Opole to return?" At this time, Adrina said.

"Three days as short as 10 days, that's my most conservative estimate." Charland Road.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of ourselves during your trip to Opole." Adelina endured the reluctance in her heart.

"I left you food for about a month, you must remember, don't expose the traces of people here, even if it's to make a fire to cook, you have to pay attention to the time." Xia Lan cautioned. "If I don't succeed in retrieving the vulture within a month, I'll return here."

"yes, I see." Adelina nodded earnestly.

"By the way, remember to look for the missing potion materials in Opole." Winnie said suddenly. "Hopefully, there will be a few last scarce materials there."

"I've always had this on my mind." Xia Lan pretended to be casual.

"Xia Lan, is the potion material that Winnie said important?" Adelina wondered.

"Yes, because these potions are related to our future."

Xia Lan smiled slightly, without explaining too much, this face made Winnie in front of her feel a chill, she lowered her head, and her eyes did not dare to aim at Adelina next to her.

If she knew what these materials really meant, I wonder if she would still be as quiet and well-behaved as she is now?!

After explaining the rest of the trivial things, Xia Lan gradually disappeared from their field of vision and left.

……

……

"Lord Virgian, I just finished searching for the relevant personnel of the Sanctuary and the Opole Sheriff's Department, and according to their statements, I have not found any trace of the murderer in these days."

Back in his neat and modest house, Joshua respectfully reported to the adults in the courtroom.

They had come to Opole the night after a short night's rest, and Joshua went around the next morning to find out about the murderer, and by the way, he conveyed the news to the local lord and the White Stone Church that the murderer might be on alert.

"I've issued an urgent notice to churches all over Elanison, and I've stepped up the search, with a mountain tribe that agitates the murderers, and once the murderers do appear in Eranison, we can definitely know their whereabouts as soon as they appear!" Vigian, who came from the inquisition, said indifferently: "I hope your guess is not wrong this time." ”

"Unless the murderers stay in the mountains and forests forever, sooner or later they will be exposed, and I can guarantee you with my life." Joshua was the answer. "Elanison's vultures are generally bred in important cities in various regions for easy control, even the scattered wild vultures are strictly guarded by the surrounding mountain tribes, assuming that the murderer intends to fly the vulture, the other party will definitely do everything possible to secretly seize it, as long as you know where the vultures are accidentally missing, you can basically conclude that the murderer is infested."

What Joshua didn't anticipate, however, was that the murderer he spoke of was now swaggering into Opole from under their noses.

The tavern has always been a good place to inquire about information, and Xia Lan, disguised as a mercenary, sneaked into the city to find a hotel to settle in, and then asked the clerk to find out the location of the lively tavern nearby and went out directly.

It was still early in the morning, and there was still some time before evening, and the tavern usually opened at night, so Xia Lan planned to familiarize herself with the city of Opole and look for the potion materials that Winnie needed.

Perhaps it was the favor of Lady Luck that Xia Lan, who had always been unlucky, managed to buy the last few scarce materials in the trading market, and her mood was unnaturally happy, and she had a general understanding of the main streets and landmarks of Opole, and night had quietly fallen.

"Oak Tavern"

This is a seemingly ordinary tavern on the streets of Aupole Horseshoeland, but those who are familiar with this place know that this tavern is the most famous place for the exchange of information in Opole's private life.

As soon as it was nightfall, the Rock Oak Tavern welcomed a crowd of guests, and it didn't take long for it to be bustling and noisy, adventurers from all over the world, warriors from mountain tribes, local intelligence dealers, etc., full of vulgar foul language, exaggerated excitement and dancing, because of the early arrival, Xia Lan slowly drank beer with a low alcohol content on a corner seat, as if waiting for someone.

The most uproarious thing recently is the news of the reappearance of Xia Lan and Adelinna's whereabouts, many adventurers and mercenaries talk about this matter, everyone seems to be dreaming of getting rich overnight, but the sad and ridiculous thing is that the murderer they dream of looking for is in front of them at a loss.

"Sir, alone?"

I don't know when, Xia Lan sat in front of the table a woman with heavy makeup, her beautiful face exuded a strong smell of wind and dust, the open gauze robe on her chest revealed a seductive snow white, and her voice was as melodious as a nightingale, which was full of a strange sense of disobedience with her temperament.

"Yes."

Xia Lan didn't think that the woman in front of her was a ** who came to sell her own posture, although she could indeed be seen from time to time in the tavern, but she wasn't, because Xia Lan didn't smell the unique smell of ** from the other party, especially her eyes, which seemed to be a little too bright in the dim light, and ordinary ** would not have such clear eyes at all.

"I'm guessing you're waiting for someone." The woman across from her smiled. 、

"Indeed." Xia Lan's answer was still succinct.

"Perhaps, I will be the one you have to wait for." The woman said meaningfully.

"Price." Xia Lan tapped lightly on the table.

The woman held out a slender white finger in front of him.

"Deal." Xia Lan nodded and said simply.

"This is not the place to talk, Mr. Trouble, please come with me to a quiet place." (To be continued......)
