It was almost dawn, swim through the cold sea water, stand on the soft beach and take a last look at the burning sea surface. The dancing sparks look so dazzling under the dark night sky. It doesn't take long for the burning merchant ship to turn into complete ashes, covering up all traces, and no one knows the bloody scene that happened in it.

"Let's go!"

After changing into dry clothes, Xia Lan said to the silent Adelina and Winnie, and then turned around without hesitation to leave ahead of the unknown darkness.

Xialan didn't know where they were in the Principality of Severe. Perhaps only when they met people, villages and towns could they judge and understand them based on the map.

If it weren't for the convenience of destroying the corpse, he would have sailed directly to any coastal city in the Principal of Seville, why would he have worked so hard to travel on strange land at night?

The sky gradually became brighter, and the rising sun dispelled the last trace of darkness illuminated the earth. Xia Lan and others were not lost on the road like headless flies. Xia Lan, who had rich experience in survival in the wild, found a river and walked straight along the upstream.

There are people who cannot live without water, which is a very simple truth.

After walking for a long time, they finally found the traces of smoke from a distance. After a little excited and quickened their pace, a peaceful and quiet village appeared before their eyes.

The people in the nameless village were a little distant from outsiders, especially those of unknown origin. However, Xia Lan used money to knock out the enthusiasm of the villagers and asked them clearly about where they were and nearby towns. They took a short rest for a morning and left.

Before the evening, they came to a town called Brand.

The town is not big, and even a little dilapidated. The streets are deserted and pedestrians are very rare, but patrol soldiers are everywhere. Due to disguise, Xia Lan and others who casually fabricated an identity and entered the city, although it is suspicious, fortunately, they sent out the military strategists who tried to harass and cause trouble through money and bribes, so they avoided the trouble.

This place is not just a town, but actually it is more like a military town, because the scene here really makes Xia Lan feel familiar.

Brand Town is not far from the border of Monteres, and the disputes and wars in the history of the two countries have caused desolation and decline here. What's more, Brand Town once allowed Monteres to occupy it. If Blistov had not sent troops to fight against Grenada in exchange for the Duchy of Cialis, Brand Town might still be under the rule of Monteres.

Although Brandt does not belong to the front line defensive array facing Monterres, the tradition of garrison has been preserved. After generations of reproduction, most of the townspeople here are basically descendants of garrisons.

After checking in a hotel, after having a meal and taking a shower, Shalan spread out the map alone on the table in the room. According to the signs on the map, Brand Town is in the southernmost part of the Principal of Cyville. If you travel straight east, it will take about seven or eight days to cross the national border and enter Ottori. Then go east from Ottori to reach their destination, Lasennier.

Larsenière is also known as the Flying Eagle Kingdom. The reason why Charann ​​went to Larsenière was to facilitate the ride. As long as he had the Flying Eagle, where should Elderland not go? It is just that the Flying Eagle is a strategic resource strictly controlled by Larsenière and is prohibited from flowing out. How to obtain the Flying Eagle will not be too worried about when arriving in Larsenière.

The violent movement caused in Monteres will inevitably lead to the investigation of the Holy Holy of Glory. The news that they appeared in Elderland will not take long to know. How to effectively avoid and escape has become Xialan's biggest problem at present.

One night passed.

Xia Lan, who got up early in the morning, decided to buy horses for traveling. Winnie, who learned the news, suddenly offered to go with her. Adelina, who was still sad and had not recovered, stayed to wait.

As a military town, Brand Town is not short of horses. Although war horses are strategic materials and cannot be traded, there are many people who embezzle people. This social phenomenon is simply difficult to eliminate. The officials responsible for military management have persisted under the silver bullet offensive and then fell into greed.

He walked on the way back to the hotel with three tall and strong green-maned horses, and Winnie, who had been silently following Xia Lan, spoke.

"Xialan, do you find that the changes in Adelina are getting weirder?"

"I know, so I'm already trying my best to correct her changes." Xia Lan said lightly as she looked ahead.

"It's a pity that this is just a temporary solution, and it actually cannot solve her problem." Winnie said in a deep voice. "If she showed a few more alternative combat forms, she would probably become another person completely. Maybe you don't know that on the day Magnison died, Adrina threatened my life with a strange and dangerous personality."

"You want to say she will backfire me?" Xia Lan chuckled.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Winnie said.

"Do you know why you can survive until now?" Xia Lan said.

"Of course I used me to take out the relics from Adelina's body." Winnie said calmly.

"Since you know it, why don't you hurry up and study this issue?" Xia Lan said. "Don't let me lose my last little patience with you."

"There is only one way to do it now." Winnie's face darkened, "Kill her directly to take out the relics."

"Rich! Stupid!" Xia Lan sneered.

"This method is indeed stupid and ridiculous!" Winnie nodded and said, "What if I can guarantee that the relics you took out after killing her will still be useful?"

"Hmm?" Xia Lan's eyes moved to Winnie, and her nose made a soft sound.

"I have discussed this issue carefully with Magnison, and finally came to a conclusion." Winnie said: "The power of the relics did not actually play a full role, but was constantly eroding the mental state of Adelina until it was completed. Only when a certain transformation was completed can the power of using the relics be fully exerted."

"It's an interesting conclusion, but how do you prove that you're not lying?" Xia Lan said. "Maybe you just used my hand to kill Adelina?"

"Believe it or not." Winnie snorted coldly.

"I once imagined killing Adelina to take out the relics, but the final solution was not feasible." Xia Lan said in a plain tone: "If what you said is true, then I only need to face the last obstacle, how to kill Adelina! You should know that under the protection mechanism of Adelina, even if I take action, I cannot kill the other party. Once I fail, the consequences can be imagined!"

"Don't worry about this problem, because I have developed a potion with Magnison to suppress her power." Winnie smiled strangely. "" As long as I give me enough time, I can develop this potion, it just depends on whether you dare to take action!"

"So you have always planned to do this?" Xia Lan glanced at her deliberately.

"What? Could it be that you really want to wait until the relics and Adrienna are completely assimilated?" said Winnie.

"I'll think about it."

After Xia Lan said this, she ignored Winnie and wandered in the deserted street market. After buying some daily necessities and food, they returned to the hotel.

After lunch, Xialan left Bran Town with Adrina Winnie for a moment without delaying it and rushed eastward.

The wide loess road is very uneven, and some places are bumpy and difficult to move forward. Facing the scorching sun and the heat swells, the three of them are covered in sweat in a while, and there are few people on the road, and occasionally some caravans will be seen.

Because it is located on the border, towns are very rare, and it may take tomorrow for the next town to arrive. After nightfall, the three of them camped in the wild, catching fires, grilling food, and vaguely hearing the howls of wolves in the distance.

After filling her stomach casually, Winnie returned to the tent to rest. Her physique was not as good as Xia Lan and Adrina. The bumps on the horse in half a day had already made her exhausted. Sometimes it was really troublesome to bring such a burden.

The night sky was full of stars, and Adelina, who was sitting around the fire without saying a word, looked up at the sky, and her pityful little face suddenly showed a long-lost smile.

"Xialan, we haven't seen the stars together for a long time. I still remember the last time I was on the beach in Port Louis."

Since the accident in Port Louis, Xia Lan has been recovering from her injuries on the boat for half of the time she traveled through the Summer Wind Strait, and her other half has been doing shy things with her day and night. When she came to Monteres, Xia Lan often went out to do business. Then the two took turns to monitor Winnie and Magnison's potion production day and night, and it was hard to have time to spend together.

"The stars are beautiful, but they no longer belong to us at that time." Xia Lan said softly.

"Yes, we will never go back to the beautiful and peaceful days of the past." Adelina said sadly: "Xialan, can we live together peacefully and happily in the future?"

"Of course." Xia Lan lay on the grass and looked up at the starry sky. "After time, someone will forget us one day."

"But I'm worried that I will never see that day again." Adelina lay beside Xia Lan sobbed, reached out to hug Xia Lan tightly and said, "I feel that one day you will leave me."

"Little fool, don't think too much." Xia Lan pulled out her hand and stroked her head gently.

"Xia Lan, would you promise me not to kill people in the future? Because I am so scared, afraid that you will become like a stranger I have never known." Adelina buried her head in his arms and sobbed quietly.

"I don't want to kill people, but there are always people who force me to kill people." Xia Lan sighed. "I promise you that as long as no one endangers our safety, I will never kill people casually."

"Well, I believe in you."

Winnie raised her head and looked at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan stared at Winnie, and her dark eyes shrank suddenly.
