The tribes are chaotic and the bandits are rampant. This can be said to be a true portrayal of the Elanison territory. There are many reasons for this, but the root of all contradictions and conflicts is the problem of naked interests.

Before Eranisen was established, this land was a loose alliance of dozens of tribes of all sizes. In 583, Julius, who was born in the Grogen tribe, successfully completed the unification of this land through marriage and war. Since then, the Eranisen dynasty was established, and under the leadership of several generations of previous kings, it has continuously expanded its territory and even once became the most powerful country west of the Elderland continent.

However, Eranisen's strength did not last long before it fell into decline. The first thing that was the tribes conquered by Julius had successively rebelled due to land disputes. The domestic situation suddenly broke out. In desperation, the Eranisen royal family chose bloody suppression that lasted for more than ten years to stabilize the dynasty's rule. As a result, the Eranisen dynasty, which was severely damaged, had no strength to resist the enemy countries surrounding the surrounding areas who took advantage of the situation, retreated completely and was in a defensive position. It was not until a hundred years later that Eranisen took a little rest.

Recasting the glory of ancestors has always been the vision of the Ellanisen royal family, but the bloody suppression of the rioters has made all tribes disunited from the royal family. Although the kingdom maintains unity on the surface, the government orders are difficult to implement among the tribes, especially the increasingly fierce tribal conflicts spread everywhere in Elanisen. Even countless kings and ministers cannot effectively solve this problem.

The collapse of Elanison from strength to overnight has always been a topic of research by historians, because this process happened too quickly and suddenly. The more convincing mainstream view is that the neighboring countries that were afraid of Elanison's rise secretly sent a large number of spies to sow discord and incite major tribes in Elanison. As a result, Elanison's collapse situation was caused.

After several days of trekking, Xialan and the other two arrived safely and smoothly in the mountains and forests near Opole. In order to avoid the influence of the glorious mark on Adrina, Xialan, who did not dare to approach Opole too much, found a secret place to settle down, and prepared to make plans and arrangements for the flying vulture alone to Opole.

"I have observed the surrounding forest environment. It is rarely visited by people. Even the herb collectors and hunters are hard to see. Even if you meet these people, I believe you can hide yourself well."

In front of a cave covered by vines, Xialan spoke to Adrina and Winnie.

"Everything must be thought from the worst perspective. I am frank, what should we do if we are accidentally investigated by the Holy Temple of Light?" Winnie said solemnly.

"The last lesson I learned in Valderin had already made me think about this issue." As he said that, Xia Lan took out a map from the Void Ring and threw it at the other party and said, "I marked the specific route to Salania in detail on this map. Once we were dispersed due to accidents, you don't have to pay attention to me. You can go directly to the final meeting place, Vahran, to wait for my news. I will have a way to find you."

"Vahran? Let's take a look..." Winnie carefully browsed the map in her hand, and after a while she said: "The map shows that Vahran is on the border of Grammouthson, and is separated from Elanison by two principalities. At such a long distance, do you think we have the ability to break through the numerous blocks and escape here safely?"

"I believe that Adriena has this ability, and in the worst case, Adriena, you can choose to abandon Winnie and run away alone?" Halfway through speaking, Xia Lan turned her gaze to Adriena and said.

"Hey hey hey!!! Are you going to abandon me easily like this?" Winnie shouted dissatisfied.

"You seem to have forgotten something." Xia Lan looked at Winnie and said calmly: "The people who want to be arrested by Adrina in the Light of the Temple are me. In a sense, you are the innocent hostages we kidnapped. Even if you fall into the hands of the Temple of the Light of the God of the Light, I believe they will not do anything to you. You can even say that you will be completely freed."

Winnie was stunned for a moment, then said to herself, "Haha, it's me that I was wrong. After being with you for a long time, I even forgot my hostage identity. I almost thought I was a fugitive like you."

"Xialan, how long do you expect to take to come back in Opole?" said Adrina at this time.

"It can be as short as three days, and it can be as long as ten days. This is my most conservative estimate." Xia Lan said.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves during the time you are heading to Opole." Adelina said, enduring the reluctance in her heart.

"I have left you food for about a month. Be sure to remember not to reveal traces of people here at will. Even if you are making fire and making rice, you should pay attention to the time." Xia Lan warned cautiously. "If you have not successfully captured the flying eagle within a month, I will return here."

"Well, I get it." Adelina nodded seriously.

"By the way, remember to look for the lack of potion materials in Opole." Winnie suddenly said. "I hope there will be the last few scarce materials there."

"I have always taken this matter to heart." Xia Lan said casually.

"Xialan, is the medicine material that Winnie mentioned important?" Adelina said with some confusion.

“Yes, because these chemical materials are related to our future.”

Xia Lan smiled slightly and did not explain too much. This face made Winnie in front of her feel chill. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Adelina next to her.

If she knew the true meaning of these materials, she would not know if she would still be as quiet and well-behaved as she is now?!

After explaining the other trivial things, Xia Lan gradually disappeared from their sight and left.

"Mr. Virginian, I just visited the relevant personnel of the Holy Church and Opole Police Department here. According to their statements, no trace of the murderer has been found these days."

Back in the neat and simple house, Joshua faced the magistrate of the court and reported respectfully.

They arrived at Opole last night through the teleportation array of St. Rock Church in Valderin. They took a short night of rest. The next morning, Joshua found out about the murderer and conveyed to the local city lord and the White Stone Church that the murderer might be alert.

"I have issued an emergency notice to churches in various places in Ellanison, and have increased the search efforts to provide an agitated mountain tribe. Once the murderer really appears in Ellanison, we can definitely know their traces as soon as possible!" Virginian from the Inquisition said calmly: "I hope your guess is not wrong this time."

"Unless the murderer stays in the deep mountains and forests forever, they will sooner or later be exposed. I can guarantee you this with my life." Joshua said with confidence. "Elanison's flying vultures are generally bred in important cities in various regions to facilitate control. Even the scattered wild flying vultures are strictly guarded by the surrounding mountain tribes. Assuming the murderer is aiming for the flying vulture, the other party will do everything possible to secretly seize it. As long as you know where the flying vultures are missing, you can basically determine the appearance of the murderer."

However, what Joshua did not expect was that the murderer in his mouth was now swaying into Opole from under their noses.

The tavern has always been a good place to inquire about information. Xia Lan, dressed as a mercenary, scrambled into the city and first found a hotel to settle down. Then he asked the clerk about the location of the lively tavern nearby and went out directly.

It was still early at this time, and there was still some time before evening. The tavern usually started to open at night, so Xialan planned to get familiar with the city of Opole and find the medicine materials that Winnie needed.

Perhaps it was the favor of the goddess of luck, Xia Lan, who had always been unlucky, successfully bought the last few scarce materials in the trading market. She was in a natural and happy mood. She roughly understood the main roads and landmark buildings in Opole, and night had quietly come.

Rock Oak Tavern

This is a seemingly ordinary tavern on the streets of Opole Matilan, but those who are familiar with it know that this tavern is the most famous place for information exchange and sales in Opole.

As soon as the night came, the Yanli Tavern welcomed guests in groups of three or three. Not long after, it was bustling and noisy. Adventurers from all over the world, warriors from mountain tribes, local intelligence dealers and other fish and dragons were mixed, and vulgar words were everywhere, and they were full of exaggerated and excited. Because they came early, Xia Lan slowly drank beer with a lower alcohol content in a seat in a corner, as if waiting for someone.

The most sensational thing recently is the news of the reappearance of Xia Lan and Adrina's whereabouts. Many adventurers and mercenaries talk about this. Everyone seems to be dreaming of getting rich overnight. However, the sad and ridiculous thing is that the murderer they have always dreamed of looking for is in front of them, but they are confused.

"Sir, alone?"

At some point, a woman with heavy makeup sat at Xia Lan's table. Her beautiful face exuded a strong smell of dust. The gauze robe on her chest showed a tempting whiteness. Her voice was like a nightingale, which was full of strange sense of incongruity with her temperament.

"Yes."

Xia Lan didn't think that the woman in front of her was a slut who was here to promote her poses. Although she could be seen in the tavern, she was not, because Xia Lan did not smell the unique smell of the slut from the other party, especially her eyes, which seemed to be too bright under the dim light. Ordinary sluts would not have such clear eyes at all.

"I guess you're waiting for someone." The woman opposite smiled.

"Indeed." Xia Lan's answer was still concise.

"Maybe, I will become the person you have to wait for." The woman said meaningfully.

"Price." Xia Lan gently knocked on the table.

The woman stretched out a slender and white finger in front of him.

"Trade." Xia Lan nodded and said simply.
