Soul Echo

Zhong Ye and Lilian spent two days in Turin, leaving the city before the daughter of the Torino black market host came to her door.

Amos left a day earlier than they did. He stayed in the city for more than ten days, successfully hooked up with the woman, and then left before he was chained here...

When he left Turin, Zhong Ye had a dark face.

"teacher, has that demonhunter always been like this?" Lilian's tone was full of contempt.

"I don't know!" Zhong Ye replied bluntly, "I didn't know him for a long time. We've only fought side by side a few times, and we have good temperaments with each other, so the relationship seems to be good."

Because of Amos, they had to pack up and leave in a hurry, and they were quite embarrassed no matter how they looked.

Although the forces in the Turin black market will definitely not stop them, Zhong Ye doesn't want to make things worse, anyway, Amos has already patted his butt and ran away, no matter what happens in Turin, it won't affect him , If things get bigger, it's Zhong Ye and the others who really suffer.

In order to avoid this from happening, they had to leave Turin early.

Feeling Zhong Ye's dissatisfaction with Amos' behavior, and not knowing why, Lillian was slightly relaxed in her heart, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, piled up two shallow dimples, and asked, "teacher , where are we going next?"

"Next..."

Zhong Ye pulled out the brand new map from his backpack with his backhand, and his fingers were at the position of 'Turin' up, and then slowly upward, "From here, to here - from Etrull to the Hallstatt City-State Alliance."

Lilian couldn't be more familiar with the map in front of her.

Except for a few differences, this is a map of Earth Europe.

The Kingdom of Etrull is equivalent to Italy, the City-States of Hallstatt is equivalent to Switzerland, and the situation in these two countries is very similar to reality.

If she remembered correctly, Switzerland was historically an alliance of city-states, and it didn't really become a country until modern times.

I don't know if it's the sloppy-work of Illusion Company, or they deliberately designed it like this in order to provide players with a sense of substitution. The background of "Soul Echo" is very similar to reality to a certain extent. place.

Not in Etrull, but the Hallstatt city-state union?

In other words, she can move across borders?

The Hallstatt City-State Alliance...I don't know what those city-states are like?

Lilian only realized at this time that when she visited the forum before, she seemed to only pay attention to geographically related words such as Etrull and Xilu, and seldom paid attention to what happened in other countries and regions.

However, why Hallstatt City-State Alliance? Since the information is obtained from the Turin black market, shouldn't the information point to the rest of Etrull?

Lilian raised this question, and Zhong Ye replied with a smile: "Because compared to Etrull, Hallstatt is a city-state alliance, within the sphere of influence of the Turin black market. , the personnel changes of Hallstatt city-state are not more frequent, but the composition of personnel is complex, it is not difficult to mix into it, and it is naturally easier to collect intelligence.

“As for Etrul’s Other cities and regions, although can't be called with no opportunity, are indeed much harder compared to Hallstatt. "

hearing this, Lilian suddenly realized, didn't expect there are so many twists and turns.

Perhaps because of this, Zhong Ye's hands Most of the intel pointed to Hallstatt - since people from the black market can easily infiltrate Hallstatt, it is not difficult for cultists to infiltrate.

Of course, cultists also If they don't appear in one place, they will definitely do things. After all, they may not succeed in doing things. They need to be fully prepared to improve their success probability.

Since preparations are to be made, funds are also essential. If the preparation is based on robbery and theft alone, their identities may be exposed before the trouble starts.

So, those suspected cultists who appear in those places may only be in the eve of the incident. Get ready.

Their first destination is Valais, known as the 'Country of the Valley'. The topography of this city-state is no different from reality. Between the Alps, it is worthy of the title of the country of valleys.

In reality, the canton of Valais in Switzerland can be regarded as a tourist attraction, but in the background of "Soul Echo", it is not easy to walk and Remoteness is doomed to poverty in an area.

The items produced have no export channels, and there are not many outsiders throughout the year, except for some aristocratic children and bards who travel crazy and travel. The adventurer doesn't like going to that city-state.

I don't know how people in the Turin black market know that there may be traces of cultists in that city-state, if not for the fact that Amos repeatedly vouched for the accuracy of this information in his own name Sex... Since Amos has guaranteed it in his own name, are these things still accurate?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye startled shook his head helplessly, put the map into his backpack, and slowly Speed ​​up and run.

Lilian cautiously controls the horse, letting the horse follow the trot and run into the distance.

…………

Leaving Turin On the fifth day, Zhong Ye didn't know if they had crossed the border. Anyway, in this era, the border only exists on the map, and no country has the ability to maintain the 'border' this thing.

It's not uncommon for people living on the frontiers to go to other countries, it would be strange if this didn't happen.

Even local lords don't know the boundaries of their territories Where is it, so it often makes jokes and even causes 'war'.

However, hidden behind these behaviors is actually a dispute of interests, but these ugly things are used by both sides The first layer of behaviors that can be talked about with relish and jokes are wrapped and covered up, so that people ignore that they are the ones who are really hurt.

Zhong Ye and Lilian were 'fortunate' to see a 'border war', only some soldiers on both sides had muskets, most of them had various 'weapons' such as sickles, Pitchfork, stick.

These people are not soldiers at all, they are peasants recruited by the lords, and they have to bring their own weapons and equipment.

If this so-called 'war' hadn't started and died at the stage of mutual declaration of family names, Lillian had reason to believe that her teacher would have overflowed with sympathy, and directly raised her sword to fight against both sides. The nobles are reasonable.

The distance between Turin and the border is only a little further than the distance from Milan, but Turin has already kept up with the pace of the first industrial revolution, and the border is still like those long-winded in the Middle Ages Like a long story of aristocrats, the ground is full of trivialities.

After arriving at the border, Zhong Ye had some troubles.

Valais is not only surrounded by mountains, in fact, when they first came to the border, they had already stepped into the mountains.

To get to Valais, you need to find a clear path between the mountains, the problem is that this route is not marked on the map.

Maybe they should have found a good guide before entering the mountain, but it is useless to say anything now, let alone that they can't find a way forward, even how to go on the original road, Zhong Ye knows forget.

When he told Lillian the unfortunate news, the two of them stared at small eyes with big eyes, but couldn't think of any way.

"Forget it, let's take a step by step..." Zhong Ye sighed helplessly, "If you don't have enough food, you can also hunt game, so consider it a unique adventure!"

Lilian was silent. It seemed that this was the first time she saw Zhong Ye so unreliable. Since she knew Zhong Ye, in her eyes, Zhong Ye has always been a mature, reliable and polite adult, didn't I don't expect him to be so reckless.

But it seems...it seems a little cute?

Just as Lilian was watching the barrage and thinking about it, a gust of wind suddenly blew and slipped into her clothes along the collar, causing her to shudder.

The girl looked up at the forest that seemed to have several points of desolation, remembered the thick clothes in her suitcase, and felt relieved.

Although the weather is getting colder, it doesn't matter. When they were in Turin, they bought warm clothes. Even if they were walking in the wilderness, they didn't need to worry about the cold.

——Fortunately, she reminded her aloud at that time!
