Dull clouds spread across the sky for miles, and it was rare to have such a cool time in the summer afternoon.

The wild apple trees on both sides of the official road shook their heavy branches in the breeze, and small green apples hung from the branches, which were originally ripe in August. But the wild apple trees near the West Mountain Pass will never ripen one day.

Baisha Town is located in the extreme south, almost the southernmost part of the Feinan Continent, and further southwest, there is the vast and endless land of chaos. Legend has it that one of the Four Great Prayer Towers, the Ice Prayer Tower, was built deep in the Chaos Lands in the southwest, but since the establishment of the Land of Order on the Siwei God, there has never been any news of any creatures discovering the existence of the Four Great Prayer Towers.

Even the evil dragons who have ruled the continent for thousands of years have no way to find the existence of the four prayer towers, the dragon of the end of the twelve evil dragons - itself is a superior god, with a supreme level of 99, and is an invincible existence in the land of order today except for the terrifying god of the Othur plane - even so, the dragon of the end is still tirelessly looking for the existence of the four prayer towers, especially in the past hundred years, in order to find these four legendary towers that stand tall in the sky, the twelve evil dragons have long ceased to appear on the mainland. It is rumored that they descended into the chaos in order to follow in the footsteps of Sivi and the ancient gods.

Due to the magic of Chaos, there are always some strange phenomena at the edge of the Land of Order. For example, the tide of monsters in the Northern Black Forest - every seventeen years, the tribes of the northern Norden jungle will face a serious challenge, and countless monsters will be born from the land of chaos, like a tidal wave to launch an eternal impact on the land of order. In comparison, the peculiar phenomenon near the West Mountain Pass is much lighter.

"These apple trees never ripen because of the influence of chaos magic." Duran whispered to a foodie explaining why the apples on the side of the road were not edible, as he walked to the west of the road.

The West Pass is actually an extremely irregularly shaped canyon, with the peaks of the western foothills of Helga Mountain to the east and endless wilderness, swamps, jungles and mountains to the west.

According to the records in the perpetual calendar of the Pearl Tower, in the year of Tianqing, that is, ten years ago, the west of the West Mountain Pass was still a desolate swamp. However, with the change of time, in just ten years, the mountain slopes in the wilderness were high and uplifted, compressing and twisting the official road leading from Baisha Town to the rich land in the north, and became very sinister.

"Under the influence of the magic of chaos, anything is possible."

At this time, Duran had crossed the western foothills of Mount Helgar with the two rock golems, in the grove north of the West Mountain Pass.

The official road turned around here, turning to the northeast, and Duran, the place where the ogres were ambushed, was already well known.

The official roads in the canyon are narrow, the roads are intricate, and they are too narrow to be fought by tall ogres, so according to Ironhide, every time Bald Bell robs the carriage between White Sands Town and Big Pudding City, it is at the exit of the canyon.

Duran remembered the terrain of the West Mountain Pass clearly, otherwise he would not have recklessly chosen this place to rescue the teacher - the ogres were only a small part of his plan, and they only played the role of draining the opponent's strength and playing a role of cover.

"Come, let's go, I hope the iron sheet can surprise us......" Duran grabbed Abu, who was holding on to the apple tree, and walked towards the destination in his memory.

……

On the deserted official road, a luxuriously decorated carriage stayed for a long time.

"Princess, we seem to be lost." The maid in the carriage said with a red face.

The curtain in the carriage was gently lifted by a white hand, and a soft voice came from inside: "It's okay Zina, it's not the first time anyway." ”

The maid's face turned even redder: "Princess, I'm sorry, I always seem to get lost......"

"It's okay, if it were me, I might keep going in circles......" The person inside the curtain was obviously more understanding.

The maid sighed, "We're just going round and round, and I recognize this place, and there are marks I carved on the row of malnourished apple trees." ”

"......" The female voice in the car didn't seem to know what to say.

It was the maid whose face first regained her spirit, and with a bang, she drew the long sword at her waist: "Princess, wait a minute, I'll pick you a few apples." ”

The snow-white sword body shone in the sunlight, the gauntlet showed a very beautiful leaf shape, and the steel pattern of the long sword was clustered, and a few small characters were thinly engraved on it.

……

"The sword of the High Elves." Duran hid behind an apple tree, took a sneaky look, and immediately made a judgment in his heart.

This carriage stopped on the official road outside the Xishan Pass about twenty minutes ago, and it stands to reason that this place is rarely populated, and even if there is a carriage that will not stop before the pass.

Fearing that his plans would change, Duran instructed Abu to stay in the depths of the apple grove and sneak over to find out. And those two rock golems have long been sent by him to hide in the West Mountain Pass, the rock golems are the inhabitants of the Earth Elemental Plane, and it is really easy to hide themselves in the West Mountain Pass, which is full of mountains and rocks.

As soon as he got closer, he saw the weak maid draw the sword from her waist and seem to be about to walk towards him.

Duran's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that the sword in the handmaiden's hand was of extraordinary origin.

"The sword body is made of moire steel ingots, this kind of steel ingots are very rare, most of them are produced in the seven underground mines of the limestone mountain, since the dwarves of the Blue Mountains launched a riot in March of the year of Starfall and blew up the mines below the six underground floors, the moire steel on the market is basically priceless, very rare. The method of tempering is like the delicate Mir Herro forge, and the rough dwarves will never use this method that they would consider to be sissy, so it must be the work of the High Elves. Those few small letters should be a sword spell, this sword must be enchanted, it should be a real magic sword, but I don't know what kind of magic it is. In an instant, the above information flashed through Duran's mind, but his heart couldn't help jumping.

Did she find me?

Duran clings to the shadow of the fruit tree, and stealth must rely on the support of the surrounding environment to be effective, and Duran is a little unsure of the origin of the carriage - there is no flag on the carriage, no family crest, no coat of arms, etc. However, if a maid can possess the sword of a High Elf, then its owner must have an extraordinary background.

He took a deep breath and put all his energy into perception, and since Shiye was quiet and the distance between the two sides was not too far, he could still barely hear the conversation of the people in the carriage.

"Don't go, Xena." The man in the car stopped the maid's movements, "My Addigh senses a strong aura of chaos magic, this should be close to the edge of the Land of Order, although I don't know where the Great Pudding City is, but it is definitely impossible to be in the Land of Chaos." These apple trees have apparently been invaded by the magic of Chaos, and not only do they appear to be malnourished, but if they are eaten rashly, they may cause the collapse of the power of order in their bodies. ”

The maid was shocked, covered her mouth, and said, "Oh my God, have we actually run to the edge of the land of order?" I only remember that the land thousands of miles west of Big Pudding City is a chaotic wilderness, and the carriage I drove was so powerful~! ”

The person in the carriage coughed: "Actually, when you go out, it is inevitable to find the wrong direction." But it's rare to get lost all the way along the official road. ”

The maid's face was flushed, and she said, "Then what should we do?" ”

The princess pondered for a moment and decided, "Let's wait on the official road......

"Wait?"

"Or else? The compass has lost its effect under the influence of chaos magic, so instead of going around in circles, it is better to wait on the official road to see if there are any pedestrians or carriages passing by. ”

The maid was a little worried: "What if you meet a bad person?" ”

The princess said firmly: "You are a swordsman with golden powers, and even my conceited brother admits that his swordsmanship talent is not as good as yours, so I don't think you need to think about bad guys or anything for the time being." ”

The maid suddenly grinned: "He beat me up, hmph, where do you dare to say that the swordsmanship talent is better than me?" His Excellency the Grand Duke's [Fengyao Nine Swords] actually took him five years to barely master, he was really stupid! ”

"Zina, my brother really likes you."

Zina suddenly shook her head like a rattle: "I am a little maid, he is the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Goldfinse, the future master of the Riverland, I am not worthy of him." ”

The princess said helplessly: "Don't forget, Xena, you are my cousin. ”

Zina slashed her sword and said viciously, "If he dares to attack me, I don't care if he is the son of the Grand Duke of the Plantagenet." I rushed to him when he was eight years old and went to the Ji Yuan to make a fuss about marrying that girl home, and as a dragonborn, he was able to contract the flower willow disease one after another, and he dared to approach me, and I chopped off his life! ”

The princess kindly reminded: "That was before I met you, believe me, after meeting you, he has never been to those messy places again." Recently, he has reformed and began to follow his father to learn government affairs and practice swordsmanship. ”

"Who knows how long he can hold out?" The haughty maid snorted disdainfully, and asked a little boredly, "How long are we going to wait?" ”

"If you can't guarantee you'll find Grand Pudding, then we'll have to wait until someone comes."

"What if no one comes?"

"Then keep waiting."

……

The conversation between the master and the servant made Duran very speechless, and he could get lost when he walked along the official road? Big Pudding City and White Sands Town are clearly two opposite directions, okay?

The amount of information in the conversation between the two is slightly larger, Grand Duke of Goldfinch, as the powerful duke of the Luha Empire, is not to say that he has the power to dominate the world, but at least he is also a force. The man in the carriage seemed to be the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Golden Finch - wasn't that the princess of the Grand Duke of the Golden Finch?

"How could a princess come to such a hellish place?!" Duran was extremely depressed, this place was the place he specially chose to rescue the teacher, if the two of them didn't leave, what should they do?

Duran heard it clearly, this handmaiden was a gold-rank swordsman, and if they joined forces with the knight of the Legion of the Burning Blood Oath, their side would have little chance of winning.

Something had to be done, and Duran looked up at the sky, time was passing quickly, and if the carriage didn't leave before evening, he would be in real trouble.
