The number of people in the Salanian Elders' House has been maintained at about 100 for a long time, and the elders are roughly divided into civil and military fighting sects. The former accounts for a considerable proportion of the elders, mainly in charge of the administrative, legal, and livelihood of the Salanians. The military fighting sect is in charge of law enforcement and military defense. The two have clear division of labor, each performs its own duties, and are completely in an equal relationship in status.

Despite this, the elders have qualifications. Every new elder will receive ten years of experience in the expatriation, and can only stay in Xinperans after the experience is over. Therefore, in terms of voice, the new elder cannot be compared with the senior elders at all. For example, the dark man Basso who contacted Xia Lan and others is the new elder who is undergoing expatriation training.

Therefore, even though there were only about sixty or seventy elders left in the New Perlens, they had the power to make decisions about most of the affairs of the Salanians.

After Xia Lan left, the Great Elder urgently summoned all the elders of New Perlens in the Senate for discussion. When there were many people and disagreements, the debate would always inadvertently develop into quarrels.

The attitude of the armed forces has always been known for being tough. I am strong and weak. Some of them suggested that Xia Lan directly use force to open the holy land, so why should we agree with the other party's conditions?

However, the civilians believe that the other party will never compromise easily. Once the relationship breaks out, the holy land may not be opened again.

However, the result was as Xia Lan expected, and the final voting resolution won the final victory with the civilians.

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

It is still that solemn synagogue, and it is still that house with bookcases.

In Xia Lan's eyes, this mysterious and extraordinary elder gave people a very strange feeling. He did not have a strong oppressive aura similar to that of Allagon or Deniochen. Not to mention being friendly. From beginning to end, he maintained a kind of calmness like an ancient well, which was terrifyingly calm, especially his deep eyes with light chestnut full of wisdom, as if he had magic power that penetrated the hearts.

He rarely says anything, but every sentence points directly to the point of the problem, without any delay, and will not even give you room to think.

One is one, two is two.

All you need is the right questions and answers.

Xia Lan likes this way of talking because it saves time.

“The Presbyterian House has voted to agree to your conditions, outsiders, when do you plan to fulfill your promise?”

In front of a round table, the Great Elder closed the old books made of parchment scrolls in his hand. When Xia Lan came closer, he closed the books and asked him.

"Now." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Where is the specific location of the holy land?" said the Great Elder.

"The new Perlans is three hundred miles north of the lake, and the former bottom of the Dalay Lake." Xia Lan said.

Lake Dalay, the meaning of "rich lake" in Salanian, has an area of ​​about 10,000 square kilometers, and is like water droplets. In the distant golden age, the area near Lake Dalay was the largest grain crop production area in Salania. It is hard to imagine that this vast lake would completely dry up under the influence of the country's destruction, and finally be buried in the wind and sand without any trace.

Some Salanians once suspected that the treasure of the holy land was buried in the ruins of Lake Dalay, but Lake Dalay was too vast and could not be searched at all. As a result, after several failed searches, Salanian talents had no choice but to give up.

"Is Lake Dalay? It may indeed be a place where the treasure inheritance of the sacred land is buried."

The Great Elder nodded. The historical documents that have been passed down to Salania have recorded the matter about Lake Dalay. Unfortunately, the ancestors have found nothing on it. Since the other party clearly pointed out 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 Dalay has long been transformed into a part of the desert, so the first problem facing is how to open up the nearly kilometer sand layer to the bottom of the lake." Xia Lan said. "And this is just the first step to open the holy land."

"It is not difficult to open up the sand layer. The Salanians have been dealing with the desert for tens of thousands of years. This problem cannot be difficult for us." said the Great Elder.

"No further ado, I hope to take action now," Xia Lan said.

"It seems that your enemy has created a great sense of urgency for you, otherwise you would not be more anxious than us Salanians to open the holy land." The Great Elder looked at him and said quietly, "Aren't you worried that we will renege on our promise?"

"Every step of opening the holy land cannot be wrong. Without my correct guidance, you will not only not be able to obtain the treasure inheritance in the holy land, but you will also face the risk of self-destruction of the holy land." Xia Lan looked calm and leisurely, and the meaning of the words was clear. Without me, you should not think of opening the holy land smoothly.

The face of the Great Elder remained unchanged, and it seemed that he had expected this result.

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

"I will immediately start to open the holy land and try to rush to Lake Dalay before evening. Do you have any other questions about this?" said the Great Elder slowly.

"People who go to Lake Dalay must have enough strength." Xia Lan said in a deep voice: "I have a premonition that my enemies may appear in the process of opening the holy land."

"Can."

After the talks, Xia Lan returned to the villa and waited for the news of her departure.

He greeted Adrina, signaled for the corresponding preparation before leaving, and then walked towards Winnie's room because he needed to determine whether the final preparation of the potion had been completed.

He gave Winnie two days, but it didn't mean he had to wait for two days. Of course, the faster the potion was, the better. Unfortunately, the result was a bit disappointing, but it was reasonable. It seemed that half a day was not enough for Winnie to complete the final modulation.

"Are we going to that Dalay Lake in a short time?"

After packing up the temporary laboratory bench, Winnie sighed. Isn’t this a torment? I finally started the work of preparing the potency, but in the end it made people say lightly and all their previous efforts were wasted.

"The efficiency of the Salanians was beyond my expectations, and I didn't expect them to respond so quickly." Xia Lan said lightly: "It is better for us to arrive at the holy land as soon as possible, and their behavior is just in line with my wishes."

"Haha, don't blame me for reminding you that the preparation of the potion takes enough time. Be careful that the potion has not been made yet, and the people of the Light Temple have destroyed your long-planned plan first." Winnie put the last test tube into the medicine box and shook her head.

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

He had thought about this problem, but he did not wait for others to take the least rights of both evils. If the potion is gone, he can be re-controlled. However, if the system task fails, his future will never be able to turn over.

The inexplicable irritation disturbs the mind. The more the last moment, the less you can calm down.

...

...

The teams to the holy land were even more powerful than Xia Lan imagined. The wide streets were full of black heads. The black camel knights who were guarding were almost all out of their way, as if they were about to participate in a grand and solemn sacrifice. You can imagine the importance of the opening of the holy land in the minds of the Salanians.

Xia Lan and the others did not ride on the flying eagle, but followed the arrangements to accompany the Great Elder's chariot. Everyone knew the surveillance and suspicion in it. In order to avoid affecting the friendly relationship they temporarily established, Xia Lan decided to give in and express his attitude.

The three hundred miles of journey is not long or short. If you want to arrive at Lake Dalay before the evening, it is probably not easy, unless it is possible to ride a black camel or a flying eagle at full speed. However, the number of people in the travel team is too large, which seriously drags down the speed of travel. Not to mention the evening, it would be nice to be able to arrive before the early morning.

However, what he unexpected was that they really arrived at Lake Dalay before evening as the Great Elder said, and at the same time they witnessed the foundation and strength shown by the Salanians.

It turned out that the Great Elder sent a pioneer team to Lake Dalay early in the morning, and constantly arranged magic circles for space replacement along the way. Therefore, every time a distance traveled, the team would appear in another place through the space twisted by the magic circle. They would successfully arrive at Lake Dalay for six or seven consecutive space replacements. Such a magical method was eye-opening.

"A very exquisite application of the laws of space."

As a top person in mastering the laws of space and time, Deniuschen is not stingy with his praise.

When Adrina asked curiously, he slowly explained.

The space replacement magic array used by the Salanians seems to be no different from the teleportation magic array on the surface, but in fact the principles are different. A brief description is that the teleportation magic array uses point-to-point spatial connection to achieve the teleportation purpose, while the space replacement magic array replaces two points with each other to achieve the teleportation purpose. In terms of technical and practicality, the latter is obviously more high-end and advanced.

Xia Lan saw it and said that he had just recalled the general information about the space replacement magic array in his memory in his previous life. The space replacement magic array is said to be a product developed by the Salanians to solve the harsh traffic problems in the desert. However, this type of replacement magic array technology is not mature and will often be scrapped after one or two use. It is difficult to compare with the teleporting magic array to the degree of stability. Moreover, this magic array consumes a lot of energy and is only suitable for emergencies and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

"External! The Great Elder is invited."

At this time, a black camel knight dressed in neatly armor strode to Xia Lan and said to him with a cold expression.
Chapter completed!
