One must admit, Duanmu Huai is indeed fortunate this time.
Following the path pointed out by the village chief, they arrived smoothly in the Kingdom of Paretia. Initially, Duanmu Huai worried whether they would need some form of identity verification, but to his surprise, the guards merely checked and then let the three of them in.
At first, Duanmu Huai thought it was sheer luck, but after entering, he realized there was a reason for the guards' actions.
It so happened that the northern border of the Kingdom of Paretia had become a battlefield.
Led by the Demon Clan, a massive army had completely blocked the passageways of the Northern Land, even sporadically sending demon beasts to harass them. Fortunately, as a major power, the Kingdom of Paretia was surrounded by ancient magical barriers created by great magic users from ancient times, which prevented aerial attacks by the Demon Clan like before.
Well, but conversely, Duanmu Huai and his companions could no longer leave.
