Looking at the beautiful spring scenery on the banks of Lake Esmil, the faces of the crowd covered with hoods were filled with exhaustion and exhaustion.

After sleeping in the open for more than three weeks, they crossed the entire eastern border of Tyser along the border between Tyser and Cespiates. Although there were two kingdoms’ border legions stationed here, such an adventure team of more than twenty people obviously could not attract their attention.

Apart from a few short-sighted thieves and a few magical beasts, Qin Lun and the others weren’t challenged much. For this small group of professional apostles, these small bandit groups and magical beasts became a rare pastime on the boring journey.

Compared to the busy and bustling continental trade roads along the coast of the Treasure Sword Sea, the eastern border between Tyser and Amur was somewhat sparsely populated. There were basically no large towns here, only villages built by half-human and barbarians. Only those races that were skilled and possessed a certain amount of individual martial power could survive in these chaotic zones.

At night, the faint roars of magical beasts could be heard from afar, and even the apostles were extremely vigilant. The glory of civilization in the human world never seemed to shine on these ancient and unchanging wilderness areas.

During the first few days of the journey, the envoys were often amazed by some skeletal fossils or ruins they encountered in the wild. However, after a few short days, even Elistine and Nicole, two curious babies, no longer paid attention to these things. Their faces were filled with numbness.

The long history of Ferren Continent buried countless civilizations and kingdoms. No one could tell whether the remains of a piece of yellow sand and a building on the roadside belonged to an unknown village destroyed by a magical beast or the true ruins of a civilized kingdom.

Day after day, the dull march caused the apostles to feel somewhat irritated and their hearts to be filled with violent emotions. This also caused the occasional Thief Guild to fall into great misfortune, usually leaving not a single survivor. As for those magical beasts, under normal circumstances, they would become the delicious barbecue meat of everyone that night.

In this regard, even Qin Lun was very glad that he had joined Lowell and the other dwarves. The dwarves in the mountains were skilled in brewing wine and barbecue. Every time a magical beast attacked, the envoy would be able to hold a barbecue bonfire party that night.

The only good thing about the long journey was that the secluded route had allowed them to avoid the many organizations that harbored ill intentions towards the Japanese elven envoys. Of course, this included the Santalin Society. It was estimated that these evil killers who were walking in the darkness all day were currently in a dark corner, smoking with rage and raging with rage.

However, on the fourth day of the envoys’ entry into Amur, their good luck had finally been exhausted. Just as the envoy was about to cross the Viper Forest and enter the green wilderness, they discovered that the road ahead was completely blocked by the Kingdom’s official Ames Guards. The nearly 100-mile stretch of road was filled with tightly guarded checkpoints.

Through the investigation of several Thieves in the party, there were no lack of high-level mages and heavy-duty knights at these checkpoints. There were a few times when several thieves and rangers, including Longer, almost couldn’t return. Using force to break through was obviously not a good choice.

Due to the lack of information, no one knew the details of the blockade, nor how long it would last. However, judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the kingdom’s officials to lift the blockade for at least the next month.

As a result, there were only two choices left in front of the Sun Fairy Envoy. One is the east-west Cloud Mist Mountain Range through the Viper Forest, and the other is along the main highway to Ascatra, the capital of Amm.

Ascatra borders the Treasured Sword Sea, and like Karinshan’s capital, Port Carlin, it is both the capital and one of the most important trading ports along the coast of Sword Bay. When they arrived at Ascatra, they could take a boat along the coast of the Treasure Sword Sea to the Bird’s Gate.

Bird’s Gate was the next stop on the entire Sword Bay trade route, Ascatra. The two giant seaports were only a few hundred kilometers away from each other. Moreover, this part of the sea route was protected by the official fleet and several international trade organizations, so they were not likely to encounter pirates or large sea beasts. The safety factor was quite good.

However, both options also have uncertain risk factors, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Needless to say, Santalin, as an important seaport on the mainland’s trade highway, would be very influential here and would most likely meet the envoys on a narrow path.

If they chose to cross the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they would not encounter the Santalin Society. Furthermore, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was the border between An Mu and the Bird Gate. Once they successfully crossed the mountain range, they would directly enter the territory of the Bird Gate. As long as they passed through the Sharp Teeth Forest at the southern end of the Bird’s Gate, they might not run into Santalin or other organizations that harbored ill intentions towards the Japanese elves.

The problem was that the Cloud Mist Mountain Range itself was extremely dangerous. The evil grey dwarves and orc tribes living within the mountain range were not mentioned for the time being. The Twin Towers and the Durrag Tower at the northern and southern foothills of the mountain range were the two famous forbidden zones of life on the Ferren Continent.

The Twin Towers, located at the southern foot of the mountain range, were actually not pagodas. Rather, they were two military fortresses built by the marching axe tribal dwarves of the Sanata Empire about 7,000 years ago. At that time, the Sanata Dwarves who lived in Ames fought a large-scale war with the giants of the Giant Plains and Cloud Mist Mountains.

After 25 years of war, the Sanata Dwarves wiped out more than half of Cloud Mist Peak’s Giant Tribe, basically eliminating the Giant Tribe’s threat to the Esmil and Wenhu rivers, stabilizing the situation in the Amm region.

After the war, the Sanata Dwarves built the Tomahawk Bridge and the Star Bridge in what is now Ames. These two gigantic stone bridges connected the two river domains. Not only did it play a decisive role in the dwarves of the time, but it also played a decisive role in the rise of the human kingdom in the later stages.

The two military fortresses known as the Twin Towers were built to guard the entrance to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and prevent the remnants of the Giant Tribe from causing major damage to the two Bridges of Life.

As for the Dulag Tower at the northern foot of the mountain range, it was also a relic from thousands of years ago. It belonged to the same generation as the Twin Towers, and could even be traced back to the war between the Flame Giant Spirit and the Qi Giant Spirit.

The Keldor Mogg Forest, which covered Amur, Tyser, Karinshan, and the Steam Lake region, was divided into small forests due to fires and the destruction of five Crown Wars. Forests belonging to the northern region of Amur, including the present-day Sharp Teeth Forest, were then known as the Ristar Forest.

The elves of the Ristar Forest established the Uviron Fairy Civilization after the war, which was also known as the Ristar Empire in later generations. The Uviron Fairy Civilization was actually a mixture of several Fairy inheritances, including the Santa Osrell Fairy Court and some Keldomo Fairies that had fallen during the war, as well as a small number of Sun Fairies that had escaped from Irivada.

Uviron’s elven civilization was extremely developed. It contained almost all the knowledge recorded by the elves. Many aspects of it could be regarded as classics in the current Ferran Continent.

The legendary Richard Empire, which established the Uviron civilization, used numerous large magic towers as Uviron’s library.

The library not only had classic works on magic forging, social philosophy, astronomy, geography, painting music and other aspects, but also had various magic books left behind by many elven mages.

According to legend, the Tower of Dulag was not only a Grand Mage Tower, but also one of Uviron’s library buildings. Even today, whether it was the Twin Towers or the Durrag Tower, the defenses they had set up thousands of years ago had long since failed. There was another reason why they were called forbidden zones of life.

These two places were currently a paradise for undead creatures, skeletons, ghosts, death knights, and even legendary lich and undead mages. Not only did many undead exist within the Twin Towers and the Durrag Tower, they also occupied a large area centered around them.

The Cloud Mist Mountain Range was moving in an easterly direction. Although it had a large span, the core mountain peaks were all cliffs that went straight up and down. Only the peaks where the Twin Towers and the Durrag Tower were located had gaps that could be crossed.

This was also the reason why the Sanata Dwarves and the Uviron Fairies had built military fortresses and magic towers at the northern and southern foothills of this place. To cross the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, one had to pass through the area where the Twin Towers and the Dulag Tower were located.

Recognizing the current predicament, after some discussion, the envoys decided to head to Ascatra, the capital of Amm. Compared to the potential threat of the Santalin Society, the Twin Towers and the Durrag Tower were considered more dangerous.

After all, no matter how powerful the Santalin Society was, they still hadn’t revealed their whereabouts, and the Twin Towers and the Durrag Tower were forbidden areas of life that couldn’t be avoided at all.

Of course, there was another important reason why he chose to go to Ascatra. Everyone in the mission ignored the fatigue of the long journey, perhaps because none of the apostles, except Kelly, had experienced such a long-distance adventure for more than a month.

They hadn’t even entered a human town in the past three weeks. They had spent three weeks in the wilderness, living as barbarians. Not to mention the female apostles and beauty-loving elves in the guild, even the dwarves, who cared the least about their appearances, couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Ferral, once we cross Lake Esmail, we will enter the prosperous area of Amur. I’m afraid we can’t hide our tracks like before.” Milleras leaned over to Qin Lun and rubbed his beard. He smiled bitterly and said, “You have a lot of experience traveling outside. Do you have any way to continue hiding from the Santalin Society’s spies?”

“There are many towns and densely populated areas in the two river valleys of Amm, and this area belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, the most complex and chaotic Sword Bay country with religious organizations. We are outsiders, and it is as difficult to hide our tracks as ascending the heavens.”

Qin Lun shook his head indifferently. “Santalin is an old organization that controls trade routes and is known as the Dark Intelligence Network. We can’t hide it from their spies.”

At this point, a strange look flashed through Qin Lun’s eyes. “However … as long as we do our best, Santalin might not be able to find us before entering Ascatra. Milleras, have you heard the saying ‘Black Under the Lamp’?”
