Soul Echo

Lemonus Lake is a moraine lake with thousands of acres of water like a crystal mirror, magnificent and lovely.

The water of the lake is surprisingly blue, like a firmament of clear blue sky.

It is surrounded by thousands of mountains and seems to be guarding it, adding a touch of solemnity and holiness to it.

The air by the lake is a bit icy cold, because the season is approaching winter, and after half a month, it will be winter.

According to the Spiritual God, the trailer for the next chapter will probably be released in the near future, and I don't know if I can see it when I get to Montreux...

No matter which route they take, they will encounter Lake Lemonus first, because Zhong Ye and the others don’t know the direct road from Valais to Montreux, so they need to come to Lake Lemonus first to confirm their location, Then head north along the lake.

Montreux is on the shore of Lake Lemonus, in the west-north direction of Valais, and after starting from Valais, they have been heading northwestward, and Zhong Ye is also constantly correcting on the road. direction, there is no possibility to go directly over Montreux.

When they arrived at the shore of Lake Lemonus, Zhong Ye and the others finally saw people again.

Scattered villages dotted the lakeside. Walking along the lakeside, they encountered quite a few villages. Together, it's not even a village settlement.

The villagers make a living by fishing and also grow some vegetables on the land outside the village.

be that as it may, these villages are not too far behind, because some caravans will walk along the lake, and between the cities, the villagers can buy some of the goods they need from those caravans. So, outsiders like Zhong Ye are not excluded.

As Zhong Ye and the others headed north, the mountains in the distance were also approaching them.

Just two days after they walked out of the mountains, Zhong Ye and the others entered the mountains again, just walking on the edge, not blocked by the mountains.

On the tenth day after leaving Valais, they came to the shores of Lake Lemonus, on the Twelfth day they stepped into the mountains again, and then on the thirteenth day, except for the villages scattered around the lake , they finally met other humans.

—that's a caravan from Montreux!

But it's not the 'Lake of Xiyong', it's just a temporary team formed by traveling merchants.

"Are you going to Montreux?"

The traveling merchant team showed quite a surprised look after meeting Zhong Ye and the others, because they rarely traveled on this road When encountering people other than merchants, even if there are adventurers and mercenaries, they act as the guards of the caravan and act together with the caravan.

Because there are only two of them in Zhong Ye, even though Zhong Ye looks a little tough, he is also accompanied by a little girl, so the traveling merchant team did not hesitate and contacted them.

Of course, it is unknown if they have any other ideas.

Caravans and caravans meet on the road, although most of the time they do not make any contact, but sometimes, one or both parties have the willingness to trade, and they will send people to negotiate with the other party. If it is appropriate, the two parties will bring their own goods at an agreed place and conduct transactions directly on the road.

The same is true when encountering adventurers, mercenaries and the like, but compared to other merchants, the caravans on the road seldom contact them, let alone communicate with them.

It's just that Zhong Ye and Lillian don't look very dangerous, and the traveling merchant team is willing to make contact with them.

——Sometimes, the goods that can be sold are not only physical objects, but intelligence is also a kind of goods.

"Walk along the lake, you can reach Montreux in two days."

Zhong Ye bought some goods from them as a bonus , the traveling merchant team told Zhong Ye the news.

Although the adventurer in front of him uses coins from other countries, it is still silver, and it is also an official coin.

"But what are you going to do in Montreux at this time?" a traveler asked curiously.

As soon as he opened his mouth, others glared at him, then realized that he had said something wrong, and shrank his neck.

Zhong Ye's heart sank, "Did something happen to Montreux recently?"

Seeing that the traveling merchants were silent, he took it out of his purse. After receiving a gold coin, "Whoever told me, this is who."

Zhong Ye tone barely fell, and a traveler quickly said: "The lord of Montreux died, it is said that It was assassinated, and now there is a strict investigation of foreigners there. Whether it is a foreigner who was there before, or a foreigner who enters later, they will be investigated. We run faster, and we run out after learning the news. Otherwise, It is estimated that it has to be peeled off."

Other people also have regrets on their faces, it is not that they don't want to say it, they just didn't catch up.

Zhong Ye flicked the fingers, and after a few meters away, flicked the gold coin into the hand of the wandering merchant.

Holding the gold coin, the travel merchant smiled happily and took a bite to confirm the authenticity of the gold coin.

Zhong Ye said goodbye to the traveling merchant team and continued north along the lake.

"Teacher, let's just go there, are we really all right?" Lilian was a little worried.

After listening to the traveler's remarks, she always felt that something was not right in Montreux. If they were in the past, they would probably be reviewed.

And listening to the tone of the traveler, the guy who censors the outsider should not be a good character.

With Zhong Ye's temperament, she was a little afraid that if those people acted and angered Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye might conflict with those people, and then the two of them might be wanted by Montreux.

——Lilian never thought about the possibility that Zhong Ye would be defeated by those people. In her eyes, Zhong Ye can close an abyss door, so it is obviously not a big deal to deal with a group of noble private soldiers. problem.

In case they were wanted by Montreux, it would be extremely difficult to spy on that caravan.

With what she knows about Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye is extremely persistent, even stubborn, as long as she recognizes one thing, she will unswervingly implement it.

Like now, Zhong Ye has made finding cultists one of his goals, so he will definitely not let go of the 'Xiyong's lake' as a suspected target, must investigate.

"Don't worry, although I'm persistent, I'm not giving up yet. I know what flexibility is."

Zhong Ye shook his head and said, "With me and the Major Sects and Adventurers, Family relations, if those guys do anything wrong, I will let the church intervene, and I won't take action recklessly - unless the actions of those guys have touched my bottom line."

No matter how displeased, nobleman Still the ruler of the secular world, if the situation had not developed to the point of being out of control, Zhong Ye would not have taken the shot himself.

That being said, Lillian was still a little uneasy.

It's just that Zhong Ye has made up her mind to go to Montreux, and she can't stop it.

Worrying about it, they headed north all the way, because the journey was much faster than that of the traveling merchant team, and it took only one day to arrive at Montreux.

Standing on the hill in the distance and looking at the small town, not only Zhong Ye, but also Lilian can see that there are many soldiers guarding the city gate, and all those entering and leaving the city gate will be arrested. They check it out.

With the quality of soldiers in this era, people entering and leaving the city are not allowed to be made difficult.

Businessmen can be blackmailed, women can be molested.

Adventurers will be held at gunpoint and groped all over their body as a form of humiliation.

This group, who has always been short-tempered, can only dare to be angry at this time, because they are being pointed at by the muzzle of more than a dozen guns. As long as they move, if any of the guns goes off, They also breathe one's last.

Only in the face of wealthy businessmen and clergy, they will restrain a little, and the rest can be said to be almost unscrupulous.

Just seeing this, Zhong Ye and Lilian felt the low pressure in the city.

"teacher..." Lily was a little panicked.

She had already seen the dark clouds gathering on Zhong Ye's face, because those crazy guys didn't even let the little girl go.

She is not worried about herself now, but about the soldiers at city gate.

"Go!"

Zhong Ye coldly highlighted a word and walked towards the city.

Lilian pursed her lips and followed.

Those guys, just ask for their own blessings...
