Dreary clouds covered the sky for miles around, and it was rare to find such a cool summer afternoon.
The wild apple trees on both sides of the official road swayed their heavy branches in the breeze, and small green apples hung on each branch. August was originally the day when apples were ripe. But the wild apple trees near the Xishan Pass
, but there will never be a day of maturity.
Baisha Town is located in the extreme south, almost the southernmost part of Feinan Continent. Going to the southwest is the endless land of chaos. Legend has it that the Ice Prayer Tower, one of the four major prayer towers, was built in the southwest.
Deep in the land of chaos, but since God Xiwei established the land of order, there has never been any news of any creature discovering the existence of the four prayer towers.
Even the evil dragons who have ruled the continent for thousands of years are unable to find the existence of the four major prayer towers. The Doomsday Dragon, the head of the twelve evil dragons, is a high-ranking god in his own right, possessing level 99 supreme power.
Level, in today's Land of Order, is an invincible existence except for the terrifying god of the Orser plane - even so, the Doomsday Dragon is still tirelessly looking for the existence of the four prayer towers, especially in the past hundred years.
Come here, in order to find these four towers that are said to be towering above the sky. The Twelve Evil Dragons have long since disappeared from the mainland. It is said that they go deep into the chaos just to follow the footsteps of Xi Wei and the ancient gods.
Due to the magic of Chaos, some strange phenomena will always appear on the edge of the Land of Order. For example, the tide of monsters in the northern Black Forest - every seventeen years, the ethnic groups in the Northern Nuoden Jungle will face a severe
In response to the challenge, countless monsters were born from the land of chaos, launching an eternal impact on the land of order like a tide. In comparison, the strange phenomena near the Xishan Pass were much lighter.
"These apple trees will never mature because of the influence of Chaos Magic." Dulan explained in a low voice to a foodie why the apples on the roadside were inedible, while walking towards the west of the road.
The West Mountain Pass is actually an extremely irregular-shaped canyon. To the east are the peaks of the western foot of Mount Helga, and to the west are endless wilderness, swamps, jungles and mountains.
According to the records in the Pearl Tower Perpetual Calendar, ten years ago in the Year of Tianqing, the west of the Xishan Pass was still a desolate swamp. However, as the sun and moon changed, in just ten years, the slopes in the wilderness became
The high bulge compresses and twists the official road from Baisha Town to the wealthy land in the north, making it very dangerous.
"Under the influence of the magic of Chaos, anything is possible."
At this time, Duran had already crossed the western foot of Helga Mountain with two rock puppets and was in the small woods to the north of the Western Mountain Pass.
The official road turns here and turns to the northeast, and Dulan already knows the place where the ogres ambush.
The official roads in the canyon are narrow, complicated, and too narrow, which are completely unsuitable for tall ogres to fight. Therefore, according to Tiepi, every time Baldy Bell robbed and traveled to and from Baisha Town, the carriages from Big Pudding City were at the exit of the canyon.
.
Duran clearly remembers the terrain of the West Mountain Pass, otherwise he would not have chosen this place to rescue the teacher rashly - the ogres were only a small part of his plan, and they only served to consume the opponent's strength and defeat him.
It's just a cover.
"Come on, let's go. I hope Tiepi can give us a surprise..." Dulan grabbed Abu, who was hugging 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 blushing face.
The curtain inside 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 running in circles..." The person inside the curtain was obviously more considerate.
The maid sighed: "We just keep going in circles. I recognize this place. 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's face that regained her energy first, and with a clang, she drew out the sword from her waist: "Princess, please wait a moment, I will pick some apples for you."
The snow-white sword body shines in the sunlight, and the hand guard shows a very beautiful leaf shape. The steel pattern of the long sword is clustered with clouds, and several small characters are carefully engraved on it.
…
"The sword of the high elf." Dulan hid behind an apple tree, took a sneak look, and immediately made a judgment in his mind.
This carriage stopped on the official road outside the Xishan Pass about twenty minutes ago. Logically speaking, this place is sparsely populated, and even if there were carriages, they would not stop in front of the pass.
Dulan was afraid that his plan would change, so he asked Abu to stay in the depths of the apple forest and sneak over to find out what was going on. However, he had already sent the two rock puppets to hide in the Western Mountain Pass. The rock puppets were elements of the earth element.
It is really easy for the residents there to hide themselves in the rock-lined Xishan Pass.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, he saw the frail maid pulling out the sword from her waist and seemed to be preparing to walk towards him.
Dulan's sharp eyes could tell at a glance that the sword in the maid's hand had an extraordinary origin.
"The blade of the sword is smelted from moiré steel ingots. This kind of steel ingot is very rare. Most of them are produced in the mines on the seventh floor underground of the Limestone Mountain. Since March of the Year of the Fall of the Star, the dwarves of the Blue Mountains launched a riot and blew up everything below the six floors underground.
After the mine, the moiré steel on the market is basically priceless and very rare. The tempering method is like the delicate Milshiro forging method. The rough dwarves will never use this kind of thing that they think is too cute.
It is a very impressive method, so it must be the work of high elves. Those small letters should be the sword curse. This sword must be enchanted. It should be a real magic sword. I just don’t know what it is.
What kind of magic?" In an instant, the above information flashed through Dulan's mind, but his heart couldn't help but jump.
Did she find me?
Dulan pressed his body tightly into the shadow of the fruit tree. Stealth must rely on the support of the surrounding environment to be effective. Dulan was a little unsure of the origin of this carriage - there were no flags, family crests, coats of arms, etc. on the carriage.
Something that can be identified. However, if a maid can possess the sword of a high elf, then its owner must have an extraordinary origin.
He took a deep breath and devoted all his energy to perception. Since the surrounding areas were quiet and the distance between the two sides was not too far, he could still barely hear the conversation of the people on the carriage clearly.
"Don't go, Xina." The people in the car stopped the maid's movements, "My Ediger sensed the strong aura of chaotic magic. This place should be close to the edge of the Land of Order, although I don't know about the Big Pudding City.
In what direction, but it is absolutely impossible to be in the land of chaos. These apple trees have obviously been invaded by the magic of chaos. Not only do they look malnourished, but if they are eaten rashly, they may cause the collapse of the power of order in the body."
The maid was horrified, covered her mouth and said: "Oh my god, have we actually reached the edge of the Land of Order? I only remember that the land thousands of miles west of the Big Pudding City is the Wilderness of Chaos, and the carriage I was driving actually veered so far~!
"
The person in the carriage coughed: "Actually, it is inevitable to find the wrong direction when you are out. But it is rare to get lost along the official road."
The maid blushed and hesitated: "Then what should we do?"
The princess thought for a moment and decided: "Let's wait on the official road..."
"wait?"
"Otherwise? The compass has lost its effect under the influence of chaotic magic. Instead of keeping going 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 I meet a bad guy?"
The princess said firmly: "You are a swordsman with golden power. Even my extremely conceited brother admits that his swordsmanship talent is not as good as yours. I think there is no need to consider bad guys for the time being."
The maid suddenly laughed: "He received a beating from me, huh, how can he dare to say that he is more talented in swordsmanship than me? It actually took him five years to barely master the [Feng Yao Nine Swords] of His Excellency. He is so stupid."
!”
"Zina, my brother really likes you."
Xina immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I am just a little maid. He is the eldest son of Grand Duke Golden Bird and the future master of the Riverland. I am not worthy of him."
The princess said helplessly: "Zina, don't forget, you are my cousin."
Xina raised her sword horizontally and said viciously: "If he dares to take my idea, I don't care if he is the son of Grand Duke Jinfeng. I'll blame him for going to a brothel when he was eight years old and clamoring to marry that prostitute home."
He looks like a loser, and after being a dragonborn, he can be infected with the disease one after another. If he dares to come close to me, I will chop off his lifeblood!"
The princess kindly reminded: "That was before he met you. Believe me, after meeting you, he never went to those messy places again. Recently, he has changed his ways and started to study government affairs with his father.
I’m practicing swordsmanship.”
"Who knows how long he can last?" The arrogant maid snorted disdainfully and asked boredly: "How long do we have to wait?"
"If you can't guarantee that you can find Big Pudding City, then we have to wait until someone comes."
"What if no one ever comes?"
"Then just keep waiting."
…
The conversation between the master and the servant left Dulan very speechless. How could he get lost while walking along the official road? Big Pudding City and Baisha Town are clearly two opposite directions, okay?
The conversation between the two contained a slightly larger amount of information. As the powerful duke of the Ruha Empire, Grand Duke Jinque was not only powerful in the world, but at least he was a powerful force. The person in the carriage seemed to be the daughter of Grand Duke Jinque - wasn't he Jinque?
The grand duke’s princess?
"How could a princess come to such a ghost place?!" Dulan was extremely depressed. This place was the place he specially chose to rescue the teacher. What would happen if the two of them never left?
Duran heard clearly that this maid was a gold-level swordsman. If they joined forces with the Knight of the Burning Blood Oath Legion, his side would have almost no chance of winning.
It seemed that something had to be done. Dulan raised his eyes and looked at the sky. Time passed quickly. If the carriage didn't leave before evening, then he would be in real trouble.
