The Dasik Mountains, separated by the green peaks of Ortori and Elanisen, form a natural barrier and dividing line between the two countries. Unlike the vast plain landform of Ortori, most of the land of Ellanisen is mountain forests, and poor transportation has led to the long-term backward and slow economic development of Ellanisen. In addition, the natural environment and cultural differences of poor mountains and rivers make the folk customs here extremely fierce. There are often tribes in conflicts and conflicts in the country, and most of the neighboring countries that have been in the handover have maintained disputes and turmoil. If it weren't for the existence of the Dasik Mountains, Ellanisen's mountain legion would have long flocked to the rich Ortori, and would not care whether Ortori is neutral or not.

In fact, in 1023, Elanison tried to send an elite mountain flying vulture mixed army to cross the Dasik Mountains to invade Ottori. However, Elanison fought head-on with Ottori waiting for it and returned in disgrace, and finally had to sign an agreement for a truce peace.

In addition to Feijiu, Ellanisen is the most famous mountain mercenaries who are famous for Elderland. They are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of life and death. But on all the premise is that you pay enough commission to ensure the loyalty of these mountain mercenaries. Many countries can see the shadow of mountain mercenaries when starting a war. Even most wealthy merchants will choose mountain mercenaries to protect the safety of the trade caravans.

A few days later.

The disheveled Xialan and Adrina led their horses and finally crossed the Dasik Mountains to the boundary of Ellanison. The journey was difficult. The landslide washed by the heavy rain yesterday almost buried them alive. The only blessing was that they never encountered the shadow of the pursuit of the Radiant Temple again. As expected, Xialan's misguided strategy should have been effective.

A slightly flat open space at the foot of the mountain. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil and the fresh smell of fog. Xia Lan took out the forage from the Xu Ring and fed the horses. Because they had to work hard for the next trip.

"I suddenly remembered someone here." Winnie, who was sitting on a bluestone, looked around and sighed suddenly. "I don't know how she is now."

"Are you talking about Pandillia?" Xia Lan said silently.

"Who else isn't she?" Winnie turned her head and looked at Xia Lan and said, "It's just that for now, she is already a noble princess, and we have become a fugitive who everyone shouts to beat and kill. Life is really wonderful - to be honest, have you regretted your decision to leave Sisinia?"

"Do you regret following me to leave the Adria Capital?" Xia Lan asked calmly.

"No, because I have gained the meaning of leaving at the beginning." Winnie said: "What I really regret is that I didn't completely break off my relationship with you in Port Louis. It's better not to see you than to meet you."

"But Herbert, who is the one who subverts the fangs, may still be unable to escape death in the end." Xia Lan said. "Sometimes the result will not change with people, but will only change according to the situation."

"But Herbert wouldn't die without you," said Winnie.

"Are you still thinking about avenging him?" Xia Lan looked at Winnie and said.

"Yes, although I know I don't have the ability to kill you." Winnie admitted nodded.

"Even if you have the ability to kill me, you will definitely die before me." Xia Lan said lightly.

"Of course I understand this." Winnie smiled slightly and said, "because I have foresaw the day of my death."

Adrina was silent from beginning to end. She couldn't get into the conversation between Xia Lan and Winnie, and could only listen quietly. She was not an extroverted and cheerful girl, especially after being swallowed by the mysterious thing in Port Louis, her relationship with Xia Lan became completely subtle. Perhaps she had realized this problem, but she had not accepted it in her heart.

As for Pandillia that Winnie said, she didn't know who this was. She thought it was a beautiful and noble lady they had met on the road. It sounded like a big relationship, but Xia Lan finally chose to leave the other party, which showed that he didn't care about this woman.

She already knew that Xia Lan had an extraordinary origin. Maybe there was some reason for getting close to her. She was not stupid. She could detect some clues after thinking about many problems carefully. However, she didn't care, because she loved this man. Since the moment he sacrificed his life to save her, her life will always be involved with this man.

Therefore, even if he had any purpose for him, she willingly accepted his fate.

The big city closest to the Dasik Mountains is called Opole. It takes about two days to arrive from now on, provided that the road is not affected by weather or other accidents.

After a night of rest, Xia Lan and the other two basically recovered their energy. Winnie and Adriena also cleaned their sloppy bodies through the nearby streams. After all, girls always like to be cleaner.

I set out early in the morning and rode on the rugged and narrow mountain roads. The speed of the horses was strictly limited. Sometimes some steep places forced people to get off the horse and move forward. It was not until the evening that they encountered a slightly flat road. Fortunately, the Guanghui Temple did not chase after it, otherwise they would have no way to escape.

...

...

“Has the tracking failed?”

Joshua was with the messenger of the inquisition. After listening to Hadid's guilty report, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Mr. Hadid, please tell me in detail about the tracking situation at that time."

Hadid looked at the magistrate of the referee and saw that the other party did not make a sound, as if he had agreed to Joshua's question. He said truthfully: "Since Valderin's tracking, we have been following the traces left by the murderer when he was fugitive, but we were unable to catch up with the other party's escape. Even if we could not accurately sense the mark of light, we finally found the news that the murderer had been temporarily staying in a village, and chased the murderer north according to the instructions of the villagers. However, we later chased Brusca and found something wrong, because we did not find any traces of the murderer's appearance along the way. In the end, even their clues disappeared. Only then did we realize that the tracking had failed."

"To the north? It seems that Lord Hadid, you should have misled the direction of escape." Joshua thoughtfully.

"Oh--" Hadid sighed, still blaming himself: "It may be very difficult for us to find them now!"

"Don't worry about this. As long as the mark of light exists for a day, we will sooner or later find the traces of the murderer." Joshua said indifferently: "I have been reading the information of the murderer these days, and thus found a clue."

"What clue?" Hadid said curiously.

"At the time when the murderers were exposed at Monteres, I found that they had been fleeing eastward, which aroused my suspicion, why did they not go south and northward, and insist on going eastward?" said Joshua.

"That's true." Hadid nodded after pondering for a moment.

"So I guess they must have a reason to escape east," said Joshua.

"In other words, the murderer and others are still fleeing eastward?" Hadid's eyes lit up.

"It is not bad as expected, it should be." Joshua said.

"If you go east... are they going to cross the Dasik Mountains and enter Elanthon? There is a country with very complex mountains and terrain. Once people discover it, it is difficult to escape. Are you sure they will really flow east?" Hadid frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Sir Haddy, you seem to have forgotten what Ella Nison is most famous?" Joshua said lightly.

"Flying Vulture!!! Could it be that the reason they fled east was Feijiu?" Hades thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his head shouted.

"You are right. The murderer flees eastward, probably because of the flying vultures." Joshua said: "If the murderer has the flying vultures, it will inevitably increase their speed and efficiency of escape. The mere mountains cannot trap them at all, and they can even easily get rid of our pursuit."

Hadid took a deep breath after hearing this and said, "I hope we are not wrong this time! The most important thing now should be to immediately notify the staff of the Elanison in the church to start the search plan!"

"Before this, I have asked the Lord of the Inquisition to issue a notice." Joshua said calmly.

"What? Since you have made a decision, why did you want to tell me so much just now?" Harddy was stunned, and then said with some dissatisfaction.

"Otherwise, how can the guilt in Lord Haddy be eliminated?" Joshua said indifferently.

Hadid snorted coldly and said, "So, priest Joshua, how should you arrange us next?"

"Of course, it's time to return to Valderin, and the matters tracked will be jointly responsible for me and the Lord of the Inquisition." Joshua said.

"you?"

Hadid's eyes looked at Joshua carefully, and then looked at the silent referee master beside him. He really couldn't figure out how Joshua made the referee master be so trustworthy!

"Very good! Since the admiral of the Inquisition had no objection, he led the members of the Knights back."

"Peace on the road."

Before the other party left, Joshua did not forget to say a blessing.

"I wish you a news of your triumphant return as soon as possible."

Hadid left, but the resentment in his heart remained.

"Joshua, before leaving, Bolin asked me to take care of you, listen carefully to your opinions in everything. Now it seems that Bolin has not misjudged the person, you are indeed a very outstanding priest."

The envoy of the referee who said nothing finally spoke.

"Sir, you are acclaimer. You are just doing your job well." Joshua said neither humble nor arrogantly.
