The tracker continued on his way, entering Tanis City before dark. Haven, a veteran hunter, was so good that he found Amon's horseshoe prints and found Amon's horse not far from the north gate of Tanis. - Amon left his horse on the outskirts of the city before entering the city, and walked directly into the city-state, leaving no recognizable footprints, completely cutting off the trail of tracking.

...... The size of the city-state of Tanis is not very large, the population living in the main city is about 100,000, relatively speaking, it is not as prosperous as the city-state of the headland, and most of the residents in the territory are engaged in farming, animal husbandry and fishing. Amon found a nice inn in the city, asked for the best room, closed the door and rested after eating, and did not go out to wander around.

Even when he was on the road, his Divine Technique Meditation and Cultivation every night had never stopped for a day, whether it was a fifth-level physical technique or a divine technique, he had reached the peak, but there was no sign of a breakthrough in his advanced level. Bell once said that the higher the level of cultivation of the power of the two sides of the one, the more difficult it becomes, not only to have a tenacious will and persistent cultivation, but also to have some chance and luck.

Divine cultivation from level five to level six, although it is not as difficult as advancing from level six to a great magician, but it is also a very difficult threshold, becoming a sixth-level magician means that you can cultivate high-level magic, naturally it is not that simple. Fortunately, Amon was not in a hurry, he just honestly did the things in front of him, and according to the requirements of the cultivation of the two forces of one body, the next test he faced was the "breakthrough of the limit".

This should be a test in the physical arts, according to Bell, the awakened power in the blood causes a qualitative change in the body, like creating some kind of artifact, which is re-refined. This process is naturally not easy, people must bear and break through their own limits, and they can clearly experience and understand all this, but no one will force themselves into an unbearable situation and then break through, even if it is a coincidence, it will be injured or killed.

It's easy to say, but I don't know how to do it.

That night, when Amon practiced the basic meditation of divine arts, he maintained extra vigilance, launched a detection divine technique, and paid attention to the movements around the inn at any time. It was at nightfall that there was a commotion in the street in front of the inn, and some soldiers on patrol called open the gate to check the identities of all the lodging guests, and if they found any suspicious strangers, they were all taken away for questioning.

From the conversation between the innkeeper and the captain of the soldiers, Amon learned that something had happened in the city-state today, and that a noble magician had stolen something, which was a very important artifact, and the lord of the city ordered a large search of the whole city. Naturally, Amon's room was also searched, but nothing was found. The cat slipped out of the window, and what might have been suspicious was hidden in the bones, which Amon had easily hidden on the roof.

In addition to things, of course, there is also a search for people, Amon didn't speak but showed a document, which was the document given to him by Mayor Dusty, and filling in the name can prove that this person is a citizen of the Eju Empire. This document finally came in handy today, and Amun's name was written - Aroha.

Naturally, Vitru did this, and he found Lord Jonah, the lord of the city-state of Tanis, claiming that he had returned to Isis City on business at the behest of Lord Julian, and that when he entered the city, he had several precious magic scrolls in his entourage's package, and when he parked his car, he was accidentally taken away by a thief from a foreign country. These scrolls belong to Master Julian, and they must be recovered! I don't know what he said to Jonah in private, so there was a great search of the whole city overnight.

The soldiers did not sleep in the middle of the night, and they had to knock on the doors of the whole city to do such an errand that offended the local residents, and naturally complained, but the order had to be carried out. The innkeeper gave the captain some benefits, begging him to be polite not to offend the guests when searching, otherwise the business would not be able to be done. The soldiers didn't bother Amon much, after all, this guest stayed in the best room in the store, and there was no problem with his identity credentials, so he went out after a simple glance, and they were looking for a foreigner.

This sudden night inspection of the whole city was not fruitless, and many roosters and dog thieves were caught, and even the concubine of the city lord who had an affair with the groom in the inn was blocked on the bed by the soldiers patrolling the city on the spot, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain. There were many suspicious outsiders and young men who happened to be passing by the city-state of Tanis were taken out for questioning, and not everyone walked on the road with identification.

But it was precisely the Amon that Vitru was looking for that was nowhere to be found, and their true purpose could not be said publicly after all, and it was impossible to go door to door to search for people in person, and calm returned to the city after dawn.

What happened during the night made Amon even more alert, and he always felt that the search was directed at him, and after dawn, when the city was crowded with pedestrians, he packed up and hurried out of the city. He went out from the south gate of Tanis City, and there was also an inventory at the city gate, and Amon still took out the identity document with "Aroha" written on it, and went out of the city smoothly.

There was a person standing on the tower of the city, it was Julian's nephew Shute, who felt a little familiar when he saw Amon's back, rubbed his eyes but couldn't be sure, and when he came back to his senses, Amon had already walked away. He had seen Amun's appearance in Vitru's tracking magic, but Amon had changed his clothes today, and it was indeed not easy to recognize at a glance when he was mixed in with the crowd.

Amon was not found last night, and Haven guessed that Amon might get out of the city as soon as possible, and Vitru thought of another way, sending a few people to guard the city gates, and sending a signal to his companions at any time when he found out Amon's whereabouts. After all, this matter cannot be made public, and they cannot openly take Amon at the city gate, but they still have to track Amon to a place where no one is.

When Vitru and Haven got the news and drove out of the south gate, Amon ran away early, and Haven had to continue to follow the clues left by Amon south. The branch in Amon's hand was crutched on the ground, leaving a small shallow circular crater, which he had seen several times in succession on the path leading to the mountains not far from the city.

Continuing to chase forward, this trace is gone, and Amon should have put away his cane. At the last trace, Vitru once again used the tracking magic spell, and several people saw the figure of Amon, a foreigner walking alone on the sheep intestine path between the mountains, seemingly unhurried, but the speed under his feet was extremely fast!

Hai Wen looked at the mountain peak in front of him and said, "That person has entered the mountain, the straight-line distance is not too far, and he has just bypassed the two mountains." It's just that you can't ride a horse on this road, let alone a car. ”

The sorcerer Vitru and the other three warriors all had ugly faces, they thought that they would be able to capture Amun, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to catch up with this person! Hiking through the barren mountains and mountains is a hardship that they would never be willing to endure in normal times, but Amon will not only take the smooth road according to their hopes, and now they have to chase if they don't want to, and Lord Julian's order must be completed.

Walking through the mountains and wilderness is a place where Haven can show his talents. Amon couldn't do it without leaving any traces, the marks on the blades of grass that had been stepped on, and the occasional broken dead branches were all clues to follow. Whenever the clues were temporarily cut off, Haven wasted no time looking around, and next to the latest traces, Vitru used a tracking magic to relocate Amon. They would rush over as quickly as possible, usually shorter than the path Amon had taken.

It is generally easier to escape than to chase without seeing the target, but Amon encounters Haven and Vitru at the same time, and he can't get rid of it.

Unlike Amon, the fake "hunter", Haven was born as a real mountain hunter since he was a child, and he systematically learned various tracking and assassination techniques in the temple of Isis, and he was very talented in hard work, and now he is only one step away from becoming a great warrior.

Vitru is an excellent sixth-level magician, and he also has a precious artifact from the Temple of Isis, named "The Lamp of the Dead", with the help of this lamp, he can use both the Detection Golem Eye and the Information Tracking Technique, and can always find the latest location of Amon at the prompt of Haven. The mountains are different from the avenues, although the walk is fast, the terrain is undulating and winding, and the straight line is not far away.

Luckily, these people don't fly.

Unfortunately, the area south of the city-state of Tanis doesn't have many mountains, and if it were the kind of terrain of the Youngdi Valley, no one but Haven would want to keep up with Amun, and he could get rid of most of the people he was tracking. And the barren mountains and dense forests here are not precipitous, Amon just uses the terrain to try to pick the most difficult road, and the people behind can still keep up.

Haven carried a sharp short knife to open the way in front, trying to pick a route that was easy to walk and close, and Vitru, supported by two samurai, hurried while scolding Amon hatefully, and even let him, a noble lord, suffer this kind of hardship, playing hide-and-seek tricks in the deep mountains and forests, and every once in a while he had to use the lamp of death to perform a brilliant magic spell, which was really tiring!

Haven comforted: "Lord Vitru don't be in a hurry, he has both advantages and disadvantages to walking in the mountains, and he can't hurry when it's dark at night." And with the guidance of you, a magician, we can still chase him forward, and we can take him down in one night. ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits were a little more uplifted, and they secretly said in their hearts that this tracking was finally coming to an end, and the barren mountains and mountains were just the right time to torture them, and they must torture this difficult guy before killing Amon. There were too many hardships to endure along the way, and they all hated Amon in their hearts.

If Amon knew about this resentment, he would have thought it was funny, could it be that just because these people wanted to kill him, he would have to honestly take the road and make people grasp it comfortably?

After dark, the tracker began to complain again, because Amon did not stop, and walked almost as fast as the day! Haven was alarmed, "He can see the road in the dark, and he has no torches to illuminate it, so it seems that he must have mastered the art of detection." Mistress Julian's guess was correct, this man is a magician, and we must not underestimate him. ”

Schutt said hatefully, "What about the magician? We have Master Vitru here, and even if he secretly learns the arts, it will be like sending him to death." ”

Vitru frowned, "What you really have to be careful about is those scrolls in his hand, not giving him a chance to unfold." We must cooperate with each other when we do it, and if it doesn't work, we will use the scroll first. Since he is a magician, there is no problem in taking him down, even if it is exposed, it is easy to explain afterwards. ”

Haven reminded again: "But Master Julian has told me that the matter to be interrogated is very important, and there must be no leakage in the slightest, and this person cannot be kept. After killing him, no one can prove that he is a magician, so he still has to do it secretly. ”

At midnight, Amon finally stopped, he was tired and needed to rest, so he found a hidden place to sit quietly and practice the basic meditation of divine arts. Vitru and the others also stopped, they really couldn't catch up, although they could use the detection magic to survey the terrain in the dark, but it was not very convenient after all, and Vitru's physical strength was far less than that of Amon.

Amon continued to set off before dawn, and Haven and the others followed the trail in the mountains, which was like a hard march. Maybe it's an intuition, or it's a kind of induction in a state of divine meditation, or maybe it's because of Schrödinger's reminder that Amon always has a sense of tension in his back every time he walks in the mountains, as if he is being stared at by someone.

They walked in the mountains for another two days, and the trackers found Amun's campsite every night, and the kid actually made a fire to cook, and it seemed that he had prepared for it. Vitru and the others didn't bring much dry food, and if they chased any further, they would have to starve, but fortunately the range of this mountain area was not large, and two days later they came to the plains, and Amon returned to the official road and entered a town.

Relieved, Vitru and the others followed him out of the dense forest to the market town, where he learned that Amon had bought a few horses and a cart, and drove south himself. This time they learned well, procured enough dry food in the town, bought two carriages with the best horses, and drove in hot pursuit. Sitting in the carriage was bumpy, but it was much more comfortable than trekking through the mountains, and it was also a break for several mid-level samurai.

To the south of the city-state of Tanis was the city-state of Bubus, and Amon went around the city without stopping, heading directly south to the city-state of Helio, with little rest along the way, except for a short camping at midnight, which made the tracker tired. In addition to Haiwen being able to stand up, Vitru and the other three warriors were a little unbearable, and they all secretly said in their hearts: "Could it be that Amon can't be beaten with iron, won't he be tired?"

In fact, Amon was also very tired, he was not like the trackers who could take turns to rest and change shifts to drive, he personally whipped the carriage all the way. The feeling of being on his back reminded him of the danger from time to time, and he always wanted to escape quickly, but no matter how hard he tried for so many days, that feeling was always looming, and his physical strength and spirit had almost reached the limit of what he could bear.

If this continues, whether there is a tracker or not, whether the tracker can catch him or not, Amon himself will have to lie down first without being able to support it. Realizing this, Amon also began to pay attention to conserving his physical strength, and did not gallop as desperately as he did at the beginning. Even if he encounters any accidents, he has to reserve his strength, at least he still has a large number of scrolls to rely on, and even the underworld has broken out, and this hurdle should be able to pass.

The city-state of Helio is located on the eastern bank of the Ronnie River and across the river from the city of Mepfil, which is already the economic and cultural center of the Lower Eju, and the nearby Ronnie River Delta is fertile, abundant, economically developed, and densely populated. Amon circled the city again and headed south, abandoned the car and walked beside the official road, entering the mountains on the east bank of the Ronny Valley, and the chase through the mountains began again.

This time, Amon's speed slowed down, and he rested longer and longer each night, deliberately going to a desolate and uninhabited place.

Long before entering the city-state of Tanis, Amon sensed that someone was following, and these trackers were by no means simple, and they followed all the way to the banks of the Ronnie River, and it seemed that they could not escape by blindly escaping. Before you are forced into a desperate situation, find a way to counterattack, do it in the deep mountains where no one wants, and use the most scrolls in one fell swoop, which is already the best choice at present.

Amon has his own plans, and Vitru has an eye. When he chased Amon through the city-state of Bupas, he found Amon going around the city and continuing south, and couldn't help but ask Haven, "Look at this person, where is he going to flee?"

Haven pondered, "He's headed southwest, toward the Ronnie River, and if he wants to escape Master Julian, where should he go?"

Vitru suddenly reacted and said, "Monfil!"

Haven nodded with a gloomy face, "If I were him, I would have some ulterior secrets, and it would be dangerous and safe to escape into Mengfeisi. I don't know who sent him, and we don't know why Master Julian wanted to hunt him down, and when he really enters the city of Memfil, it will be inconvenient to do it, and Mistress Julian can't cover everything in Monfils!"

As the high priest of the Temple of Isis, Julian naturally has a high status, but it is impossible for him to cover the sky with one hand in the city of Meffil, at least there are several other people whose power is not under him, and Julian has the final say in everything. If Amon enters the city of Mengfeisi, it will be difficult to do it secretly, and if there is any rumor, Julian will not be able to control the situation.

Vitru also thought of this, narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that this person's destination is the best of luck, and we must intercept it before he crosses the river." ...... Be careful with the scrolls in his hand, even better if someone else does it first. ”

Haven smiled, but this smile was very ruthless: "It's easy to know his destination, you can inform Obama-Lington to do it first, and we won't be in a hurry with Amon." His speed has also slowed down, it seems that he can't stand it anymore, and he has been going around in circles for a while to get rid of us, but he hasn't gotten rid of it after all. Obama came directly from the official road, and the speed would be much faster than Amon. ”

Vitru and Haven already had a plan, and when they found Amon on the outskirts of the city-state of Helio abandoning his chariot and entering the mountains, they were not in a hurry. Since Amon's speed was slow, they also slowed down and followed, just keeping track of the clues. Vitru and Haven studied the terrain, and no matter how much Amon went around the mountains, he would inevitably take them out at the valley mouth to the southwest, which was the road to the crossing of the Ronnie River.
