Neia drove her horse back and reported the situation to Remedios, and Yili followed as a matter of course.
"If that's the case, let's go to the military station on the way to rest first." Remedios made a decision.
Although there is a small town not far ahead on the map, the Holy Kingdom has not established diplomatic relations with the Sorcerous Kingdom, nor has it announced the visit of an envoy.
If he directly entered a small town in the Sorcerous Kingdom, it might be regarded as an invasion, so Remedios could only choose to repair at the Sorcerous Kingdom's military station on the way.
"This is the only way to do it. Send the order. As soon as you see the Sorcerous Kingdom's military station or pass, everyone will disarm immediately." Gustavo said to the ordering soldiers beside him.
"Military station? Pass? Disarm?" Yili on the side tilted her head curiously, as if one of you could explain it to me.
"Generally, there are military stations or checkpoints with soldiers stationed on national borders, right? As people who don't know where we are, we can only disarm ourselves and show that we are not hostile." Gustavo explained.
"Huh? The Sorcerer Kingdom doesn't have anything like that," Yi Li said.
"No settings? Not even levels?" Remedios said in surprise.
"No." Ellie replied.
"That's it." Remedios secretly remembered this matter in his mind and opened the nationwide warning network without setting up any military stations or checkpoints along the way.
After a brief exchange, everyone decided to camp in the wilds away from Elandir as usual, and then enter the city early in the morning. After making the decision, they set off again, but after walking for a while, something strange happened.
"Fog?" Neia saw that the road ahead was completely shrouded in thick fog. Although it was afternoon, there was still plenty of sunshine. How could there be such thick fog in a place like this?
Fire? Neia thought, but Neia could easily distinguish smoke from fog. This was not smoke caused by fire.
"Captain Remedios, there is fog ahead." Neia turned around again and reported to Remedios who was following behind.
"There's nothing surprising about the fog, right?" Remedios said with some disapproval.
"Neia? Is there anything strange?" Gustavo became wary.
"The map does not indicate any large lakes nearby, but there is a thick fog. My subordinates think this is abnormal," Neia said.
In fact, Neia didn't need to say it was abnormal. Even Remedios, who just said it was nothing to make a fuss about, also noticed that something was wrong with the mist.
Because she had never seen fog spreading so quickly, the thick fog had already drifted in front of them in just a few words.
"Neia, could this be a special environmental change?" Gustavo asked.
"I'm very sorry, I don't know much about the surrounding environment." Neia apologized helplessly.
"What do you mean, as a detective, you don't have a clear understanding of the surrounding environment?" Remedios's voice immediately became stern.
"Subordinate..." Neia felt very aggrieved and was about to explain something.
"Captain Remedios, now is not the time to hold people accountable. What should we do now?" Gustavo had already pulled the reins and stopped his horse. Others also stopped when they saw something strange.
Come down.
Then the thick fog gradually enveloped the entire delegation. Everyone was very nervous in the thick fog that made them unable to see their fingers. Almost everyone felt that there seemed to be some unknown aura mixed in this strange thick fog.
"Huh? Why did you stop?" Yili turned around very calmly and asked.
However, no one paid attention to Yili at this time. Neia sniffed the mist very nervously and found that besides the water vapor, the mist had no other strange smell. It was precisely the lack of other smells that made Neia so nervous.
Even more nervous.
"Captain Remedios! I heard from my father that certain monsters create mist and use the mist to hide themselves and attack their prey!" Neia shouted.
"Everyone draw their swords! It's dangerous to park in the middle of the road! Everyone move to both sides of the road!" Remedios immediately gave the order decisively.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Only Yi Li was still riding her horse in a daze, but the paladins had quickly moved outside the road and formed a circular formation to prevent sneak attacks from behind.
.
"Your Excellency Yili! Come here quickly!" Neia could only shout.
"Oh?" Yili looked like she had no idea what was going on, and followed her, showing no signs of alertness at all.
"Quiet!" Remedios ordered at this time. Neia also concentrated and focused all her attention on her hearing. She was surrounded by paladins wearing metal full-body armor. As long as they made the slightest movement, metal friction would sound.
There was a lot of noise. In this case, if a monster that was good at concealing its figure really approached, Neia had no chance of detecting it.
If it were his father, he would definitely be able to do better than himself in this situation, Neia thought.
"This fog is really strange. Even at the seaside of the Holy Kingdom, there is no such thick fog." Remedios said in a low voice.
"Could it be some kind of defense mechanism magic of the Sorcerer Kingdom?" Gustavo remembered the warning net that Yili had mentioned, so he immediately thought of that.
"Don't mention magic to me. It's going to make your head spin. If you notice anything, tell me! If it's a monster, just destroy it. You can use this debt of gratitude to negotiate with the Sorcerer King and ask him to hand over the flying monster."
Fly." Remedios said slightly unhappy.
"This is a bit difficult. The Sorcerous Kingdom's monsters should be dealt with by themselves, but I don't think the Sorcerous Kingdom will leave such monsters alone." Gustavo said calmly.
"Monsters??" Yili on the side still looked at them with an expression like "What are you nervous about?"
"Sir Yili, do you know about this mist?" Gustavo then remembered that Yili was not from the Sorcerous Kingdom. She might know about this mist.
"Of course I know, but before that, can you put your swords away first?" Yi Li said.
"Sheath your sword?" Remedios became even more unhappy after hearing Yili's words. Is this Yili really from Blue Rose? Why is he not wary at all?
"Your Excellency Yili, can you please explain in detail? Otherwise we won't be able to feel at ease." Gustavo said.
"You should give me time to explain that this fog comes from the Ghost Ship, the Sorcerer Kingdom's vehicle. As long as you don't have any sense of hostility, you will be fine." Yili spread her hands helplessly and explained.
"Ghost ship? What is that?" Remedios didn't react at all.
