The number of the Saranya House of Elders has been maintained at about 100 people for a long time, and the elders are roughly divided into the civilian faction and the martial faction, the former occupies a considerable proportion of the elders, mainly in charge of the administrative, legal, and people's livelihood affairs of the Saranian people, while the armed faction is in charge of law enforcement and military defense.

Even so, the elders have seniority, each new elder will receive ten years of experience in the foreign assignment, and only after the experience is over can they stay in the new Perrains, so in terms of the right to speak, the new elders cannot be compared with the senior elders at all, such as the swarthy man Basso who contacted Xia Lan and others, he is the new elder who is receiving the experience of being sent abroad.

Therefore, even if there were only about sixty or seventy of the elders who remained in New Perrains, they had the power to make decisions about most of the affairs concerning the people of Sarannia.

After Charan left, the Grand Elder urgently summoned all the elders of New Perrance in the Senate for a discussion, and when there were many people and different opinions, the debate would inadvertently turn into a quarrel.

The attitude of the martial arts faction has always been known for being tough, and in a situation where I am strong and weak, some of them suggested that Xia Lan should be directly forced to open the Holy Land by force, so why agree to the other party's conditions.

However, the clerical faction believes that the other side will never compromise easily, and if the relationship is stale, perhaps the Holy Land will never be opened.

However, the result was as Xia Lan expected, and the final vote was decided to win the final victory for the civilian faction.

At noon on the second day, Xia Lan, who had just finished lunch, received a separate invitation from the Great Elder.

It's still the solemn synagogue, it's still the same room full of bookcases.

In Xia Lan's eyes, this mysterious and extraordinary Great Elder felt very strange. He didn't have the strong oppressive aura of Angel or Daniosin. Not to mention amiable. Throughout, he maintained a calm that was terrifyingly calm, especially his pale chestnut eyes full of wisdom, as if they possessed penetrating magic.

He said very little, but every sentence went straight to the point, without dragging his feet, and not even giving you room to think.

One is one, and two is two.

All you need is the right questions and answers.

Charan likes this way of talking. Because it saves time.

"The House of Elders has voted to agree to your terms, outsider, when are you going to fulfill your promise?"

At a round table, the Great Elder closed the old book made of parchment in his hand, and when Xia Lan approached, he closed the book and asked him.

"Now." Xia Lan said with a calm expression.

"Where exactly is the Holy Land?" The Great Elder said.

"Three hundred miles north of New Perrain, at the bottom of what was once Lake Darai." Charland Road.

Lake Darai, which means "lake of abundance" in the Salanyan language, has an area of about 10,000 square kilometers and is shaped into water droplets. During the distant Golden Age, the area around Lake Darai was the largest producer of food crops in all of Sarannia. It is hard to imagine that this vast lake could have completely dried up under the devastation of the country, and finally disappeared in the long wind and sand without a trace.

There were once Saranians who suspected that the treasure of the Holy Land was buried in the ruins of Lake Darai, but Lake Darai was too vast for people to search, and only after several unsuccessful searches did Sarania give up.

"Lake Darai? This may indeed be the place where the treasures of the Holy Land are buried. ”

The Great Elder nodded, the historical documents that have been handed down in Sarania have recorded the matter of Lake Daray, but unfortunately the ancestors did not find anything on it, since the other party clearly indicated the whereabouts of the treasure of the Holy Land, he must naturally know where the treasure is.

"It is not easy to open the holy land, after all, Lake Darai has long since turned into a part of the desert, so the first problem is how to open up the nearly 1,000 meters of sand layer leading to the bottom of the lake." Charland Road. "And this is just the first step in unlocking the Holy Land."

"It's not difficult to get through the sand, the people of Saranya have been dealing with the desert for tens of thousands of years, and this problem is not difficult for us." The Great Elder said.

"Without further ado, I want to act now." Charland Road.

"It seems that your enemies have created a great sense of urgency for you, otherwise you would not be more anxious than us Saranians for the opening of the Holy Land." The Great Elder looked at him and said quietly, "Aren't you worried that we will renege on our agreement?" ”

"There is no room for error in every step of the opening of the Holy Land, and without my correct guidance, not only will you not be able to obtain the treasure inheritance within the Holy Land, but you will even face the risk of self-destruction of the Holy Land." Xia Lan looked calm and relaxed, and the meaning of her words was clear, without me, you would not want to open the Holy Land smoothly.

The Great Elder's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected this outcome.

Confidence often determines a person's self-confidence and courage, from the first time he saw Xia Lan, he knew that the other party was not lying.

"I'll start preparing for the opening of the Holy Land at once, and try to get to Lake Darai before evening, do you have any other questions about that?" The Great Elder said slowly.

"The person who goes to Lake Darai has to be strong enough." Xia Lan said in a deep voice, "I have a hunch that my enemy is likely to appear in the process of opening the Holy Land. ”

"Yes."

At the end of the meeting, Xia Lan returned to the villa and waited for the news of departure.

He greeted Adelina and signaled for the appropriate preparations before leaving, and then made his way to Winnie's room, as he needed to make sure that the final dispensing of the potion had been completed.

He gave Winnie two days, but it didn't mean that he had to wait two days, of course, the sooner the potion was made, the better, but unfortunately the result was a bit disappointing, but it was reasonable, it seemed that half a day was not enough time for Winnie to complete the final concoction.

"Shall we go to that Darai Lake in a moment?"

Packing up the makeshift test bench, Winnie sighed, isn't this tossing people? finally started the work of concoction, but in the end, it made people flutter and lose all their efforts.

"The efficiency of the Salanians was beyond my expectations, I didn't expect them to respond so quickly." Xia Lan said lightly: "The situation will be more favorable to us if we arrive at the Holy Land as soon as possible, and their behavior is exactly what I want." ”

"Hehe, don't blame me for reminding you, it takes enough time to prepare the potion, be careful that the potion is not yet made, and the people of the Radiant Sanctuary will take the first step to sabotage your long-planned plan." Winnie put the last vial in the medicine box and shook her head.

Xia Lan was silent for a moment and said, "I will pay attention to this." ”

It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but he doesn't wait for anyone, the lesser of two evils, and the medicine can be remade when the medicine is gone, but if the system task fails, his future will be completely and never turned over.

The inexplicable irritability disturbs the mind, and the more the last moment, the more unable to calm down.

……

……

The size of the procession to the Holy Land was larger than Xia Lan had imagined, the wide streets were full of black heads as far as the eye could see, and the black camel knights accompanying the escort were almost out of their nests, as if they were about to participate in a solemn and solemn ceremony, which can imagine the importance of the opening of the Holy Land in the minds of the people of Saranya.

Xia Lan and the others did not ride the vultures, but followed the arrangement near the Great Elder's Carriage, everyone knew each other's surveillance and suspicion, in order to avoid affecting the friendly relationship established with each other temporarily, Xia Lan decided to take a step back and show his attitude.

The journey of three hundred miles is not long, but it is not too short, and it will not be easy to reach Lake Darai before evening, unless it is possible to ride a black camel or a vulture at full speed, but the number of people traveling is too large to seriously slow down the speed of travel, let alone evening, it would be good to arrive before the early morning.

However, to his surprise, they had actually arrived at Lake Darai before evening, as the Great Elder had said, and had seen for themselves the strength of the Saranians.

It turned out that the Great Elder had sent a leading team to Darai Lake early in the morning, and constantly arranged the space displacement magic circle along the way, so every time they traveled a certain distance, the team would appear in another place through the distorted space of the magic circle, and they came to Dalai Lake smoothly after six or seven consecutive spatial replacements, such a magical method was eye-opening.

"Very subtle use of the laws of space."

As a top person in the field of mastering the laws of time and space, Danny Ochen did not hesitate to praise himself.

When Aderina asked curiously, he slowly explained.

The space displacement circle used by the Saranians seems to be no different from the teleportation circle on the surface, but in fact the principle is different, simply described, the teleportation circle is through point-to-point spatial connection to achieve the purpose of teleportation, and the space displacement circle is to replace the two points with each other to achieve the purpose of teleportation, in terms of technology and practicality, the latter is obviously more high-end and advanced.

Xia Lan was silent in his eyes, he seemed to have just recalled the general information about the space replacement circle in the memory of the previous life, the space replacement circle is said to be the product of the research of the Sarannian people in order to solve the harsh traffic problems in the desert, but this kind of replacement circle technology is not mature, it is often scrapped after one or two uses, and it is difficult to compare with the teleportation circle in terms of stability, and this kind of circle consumes a lot of energy, and it is only suitable for emergencies and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

"Outsiders! The Great Elder, please. ”

At this time, a black camel knight in neat armor strode up to Xia Lan and said to him with a cold expression.

Xia Lan nodded, the summons of the Great Elder was normal, what was not normal was that he felt a trace of inexplicable hostility from the words and deeds of the Black Camel Knight, and he didn't remember when he had offended the other party. (To be continued......)
