Julian waved his hand and said, "This is just a private conversation between you and me, and there is no need to let anyone know. You know very well how precious the scrolls left by Nero are, and he may also know some past events that should not be said. If one day a conflict broke out with neighboring countries, you don't want to see those scrolls on the battlefield, right?... In addition, instead of reminding me, Dick City Lord, it's better to care about the nephews of the Lington family, and you should know more about what some of them are thinking."

Rhode Dick nodded: "Thank you for your reminder. I said these words today, but I am actually thinking about you."

Julian smiled again: "Thank you, Lord, for being so careful. Fortunately, I understand your noble qualities, everything is for my own good. If it were someone else, I might be confused."

Rhode Dick stood up and said, "I'm disturbing you to rest. I'll say goodbye first. I wish us a happy cooperation in the Cape Town State!"

Rhode Dick already understood that Julian might have to attack Amon, which was not something he was willing to see. But Rhode Dick could not stop Julian from doing something that he had not done yet, and even if he did, he would not admit it. Julian only had one promise, no matter what happened, it would be carried out secretly and not publicly, and would not harm the honor of Rhode Dick and the city-state.

If Julian really attacked Amon in secret, what could Rod Dick do? As Julian asked, if there was anything between this great magician and Amon, who would Rod Dick protect? There was no need to answer this question at all.

Rhode Dick has tried to dissuade Julian, but if he fails, he can only choose to compromise and pretend to be ignorant. I hope Amon has gone far away and wishes that child all the best. Since he can survive the flood, he also wishes him a smooth escape this time.

When Rod Dick returned to the mansion, he saw the coconut shell box sent by Aristotle was still placed on the table in the bedroom. He felt a little ashamed and silently prayed to the gods. Then he added a generous gift, and together with the box, he ordered people to send it back to Aristotle.

On the official road east of the Cape City-state, there was a carriage running all the way. The driver was a strong samurai with a curtain on his car, and it was impossible to see who was sitting inside. There were three samurai riding fast horses, looking like a wealthy businessman carrying bodyguards to transport some valuable things.

But if you look closely, you will find that the car is very light and sturdy, and the one who pulls the car is also a good horse that can be picked out from a hundred miles away, and runs very fast. The warriors are obviously also trained and have very superb riding skills. They can also take horses to replace, looking like they are rushing along.

No one knew that Julian's confidant Vitru was on the car, and the warrior who was riding a horse in front was Julian's personal guard captain, Haven, who was sent by Julian to secretly hunt down Amon.

It had been walking for most of the day since he left the city. At a fork, Hawen suddenly stopped his horse and stopped. The carriage also stopped. Vitru picked up the curtain and asked, "Haven, what's going on? Why didn't you go forward?"

Hawen jumped off the horse and whispered: "The target's car has come here and may have turned to the beach. I need to confirm it."

The samurai who drove the car asked curiously: "Captain, how do you know the goal has turned?"

Haiwen: "It has not rained recently. The target car has only been passing by less than a day. You can still see ruts in many places. If you search carefully in front and next to you, you will find it."

The warrior asked again, "But there are many ruts here."

The samurai who drove the car was Julian's nephew, and there were so many problems. Hawen didn't want to explain it without any effort, so he pulled out his sword and cut it on the wheel of the carriage, leaving a shallow gap, and then said, "Turn the car forward for a distance, then get out and look at your ruts."

The warrior named Shute really drove the car out for a while, then got off the car and looked back. There was a trace of the ruts left on the soil every distance, some were blurred and clear, and you could always find it if you carefully identify it. Each car has more or less a bump mark on the wheels, so the rut marks have unique marks. Hawen has a very good eye. He can also accurately find out the marks left by Amon's car intermittently.

Amon did not walk towards the border as people expected, but turned from the fork to the north, which was a road leading to the Port Market Town. Vitru and others then chased after him. They set out for half a day later than Amon. It was not long or short. The ruts on the road could still be seen, and there was no fork on this road, so just speed up and chased after him.

After running for a long time, it was already afternoon. The strong warrior could still support him, but when the horse was tired, he changed his horse and continued to move forward. Vitru sat in the car and said, "The sun is about to set, and the man should stop and rest. We are very fast and should be able to catch up when he is camping at night."

Hawen shook his head and said, "He is not slow either. The car and horse are very good. You can tell that this person is speeding all the way through the signs of the turn. We chased him this day and did not get much closer. The man's skill in driving the car is very superb!" This is an interesting misunderstanding. Amon is indeed running very fast, but his driving skills are not superb. But he used the whip given by Enriel. As long as he sucked it gently in the air, he could control the horses freely, which was much easier than a skilled driver.

Vitru frowned and said, "Don't he need a rest?"

Hawen replied: "He drove a light car, both horses were good, given by Tas Hungary and Lington. He wanted to rest, but don't forget that we also had to rest. After dark, there was a mountainous area in front, so it was impossible to run at night. We were already half a day behind, and even if he camped at night, he would not be able to catch up when he set off again tomorrow."

Vitru: "Then we must be as soon as possible. If he arrives at the port and takes a boat to sea, we will not be able to chase him!... This person is indeed a problem, otherwise he would not have escaped like this. Lord Julian is too wise!"

They stopped to rest until the sky was very dark and they couldn't catch up with the fast horse. They continued to change horses as soon as dawn. Julian's personal guard usually protects the magician, and he has never suffered much except for showing off his power. Such fast horses are of course a chore. The magician Vitru takes a car, but fortunately the rest of the people are mid-level warriors, so they can hold on if they grit their teeth.

Their concerns did not happen. After chasing them for another day, they found that Amon's carriage turned again near the port, and went westward toward the direction they came. This was a road along the coastline, which could just bypass the Cape Town to the neighboring city-state of Tanis.

Discovering this situation, Vitru said to Haven in confusion: "What's going on with this Amon? Doesn't he want to leave the country, but he wants to go to Tanis?"

Hawen pondered: "It's true that he is heading, but the destination is not necessarily Tanis. You may want to pass Tanis to go somewhere else."

Vitru: "He was clearly escaping tracking all the way, so why didn't he leave the territory of Eju?"

Hawen shook his head: "He has huge funds, and even hired a bodyguard, he felt unsafe. Of course, he had to leave quickly and not be found by anyone. This person may not know that we are chasing him, but it was just out of caution. As Lord Julian judged, he had an ulterior motive."

Amon did not know that someone was following him, but he also considered this possibility, so he walked east after leaving Cape City, quickly and lightly chariots all the way, turning around in a big circle, and usually getting rid of the tracker, but unexpectedly he met the group of people led by Haiwen and chased after him from behind.

It was definitely not an easy job to ride a horse for several consecutive days. The warriors who were following him were tired, and on the third day they took turns to rest, and the speed gradually slowed down. Amon's speed was also slower because his horse was tired, so he just kept it in front of about half a day.

The road they took led to Tanis City State, and Hawen was not afraid that Amon would run away. He had to rest after entering the city state, and he could catch up with it by staying for a day. There were more market towns along the way, and there were also many cars, horses and pedestrians coming and going, and the ruts in many places could not be seen clearly. Hawen asked whether there was a luxurious carriage passing by, and the young man was driving.

Many people really have an impression that the carriage Amon was originally from Tas Hungary and Lington, but it only removed the aristocratic patterns and family marks. It was indeed very conspicuous when walking on the road. According to the inquiry, looking at the intermittent ruts, Amon's distance was getting closer and closer.

Julian's nephew, the warrior Shute, asked Hawen again: "Captain, since you can find the ruts and there is no fork on this road, why do you have to ask repeatedly?"

Haiwen had to explain patiently: "People can change cars and horses, and carriages can also change drivers. What we want to chase is people, not cars. So far, Amon has not changed cars. His cars and horses are very good, and it seems that he doesn't know we are tracking."

Continuing to follow, Hawen discovered something. Amon turned the carriage into the jungle and camped in the middle of the road. When he got on the road the next day, he couldn't find out about the carriage, but the ruts were still there!

The reason is very simple. Amon knew that the carriage he was in was very conspicuous. After crossing Cape Town from the north, he was worried that he would be recognized by someone accidentally, so he made some small transformation. He had been taught by the old madman. Although he had not processed magical artifacts, it was easy to use the method of processing the carriage to make it look like.

The surface of the luxurious wood has traces of being smoked black and yellow, which looks a bit old. It looks like an ordinary carriage. The carport has also been treated, and the excess decoration has been removed, and the color is different from the original one. Amon was cautious enough and tried not to let people check their whereabouts, but Haiwen and others still followed behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Hawen followed the ruts and inquired along the way, and finally realized that Amon's carriage had changed. Some people still had the impression of the driver who Hawen asked about. It was a young man who was driving with a whip and a piece of branch was placed on the shaft.

At noon on that day, we can enter Tanis City at dusk. On a section of the road outside, we found very clear ruts. Vitru picked up the curtain and asked, "Haven, how far are we from the target?"

Haiwen replied: "It's getting closer and closer, only a few dozen miles."

Vitru waved his hand: "Shut, stop the car, I will use magic to track him. This distance should be OK."

Vitru got out of the car and came to the ruts to take out something. It was a divine stone inlaid with the base, like a lamp, with patterns of the divine art formation carved on the base. Vitru held this thing with one hand, and gently danced his staff with the other hand and muttered something. The divine stone emitted a conspicuous light, like a lamp being lit, emitting a circular aperture outward.

The image of the rut was reflected in the aperture, and it was constantly changing: the rut was extending intermittently towards the front, just like a carriage tracking Amon running. Not long after, a carriage appeared in the aperture, and the image turned to show the front of the carriage. Several trackers finally saw Amon. The foreigner was wearing old clothes when he first arrived at the cape city-state, carrying a long whip in his hand, and a piece of branch was placed on the shaft.

The warriors praised in unison: "Master Vitru, we have finally found him! ... Look, there is a town in front of him, and you may stop and rest. We will rush it up and catch up in a while!"

Vitru is an excellent level 6 magician. He can already perform high-level magicians, but at the same time he is a little overwhelmed in using such a masterful puppet eye technique and information tracking technique. He did it with the help of a magical artifact. The high-level priest from the Temple of Isis naturally has a rich family background.

Hearing everyone's praise, Vitru put away the magic weapon with a gloomy face and smiled: "Don't do anything in the town. Let's surround him. When he leaves the town, he will suddenly take him down in the wilderness. This person is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he met me and Captain Havin, and he couldn't fly even if he had wings!"

A town appeared in front of him. Amon slowly slowed down the carriage, sat on the shaft of the carriage and picked Schrödinger and touched it gently, then pulled out a bottle of wine from his leather pocket and handed it to the cat's mouth to feed it. He ran so carefully all the way, no one could notice his whereabouts, right? Schrödinger has been sleeping lazy for a while, and occasionally woke up and yawned and stretched, ate some food and drink and continued to sleep. It seemed that it was recovering, and Amon was relieved a lot.

But Schrödinger did not habitually stick out his tongue to lick the wine. It suddenly opened its eyes, and its fluff was arched in Amon's arms, and screamed, stretched out a claw and pointed it diagonally behind. It was the first time since he met again in the desert that Amon heard Schrödinger screaming, and it was the first time he saw it make such a big move.

At this moment, the cat, which could not even detect the magical magic, seemed to have unfolded a certain breath. The unique ability Amon obtained from the underworld had another sense of sensing, and he could actually sense the emotions in Schrödinger's cry. Listening to the sound was like a warning - telling Amon that there was danger behind him.

Amon quickly stopped the car, jumped on the road and looked back, but found nothing. He looked up at the sky, not even a bird! Schrödinger was still twisting his body in his arms, as if struggling to think about it. Amon gently placed the cat on the ground, and the weak cat staggered towards the road, and every distance he would use his claws to scratch the ground.

Amon and I went over and observed carefully and found that Schrödinger drew a line at a fixed distance on the rut mark. The car he was driving had a triangle gap at some point at the edge of the wheel on the right, and the mark left on the ground was very obvious. Amon suddenly realized something, picked Schrödinger up and jumped into the car and rode away.

As the saying goes, a wise man will make mistakes. Amon has no experience in escaping, nor does he realize that he is running away. He just habitually does not want to reveal his whereabouts, so he does not consider it thoroughly. After Schrödinger's prompt, he realized that the ruts may also be the clues to being tracked.

Vitru and others rushed to the front of the town, walked around the town and set up ambush on both sides of the road ahead, and then came into the town alone to investigate the news about Amon. When Hawen walked into the town from another direction, he smiled, but no Amon's car traces were found on some road sections that should have left traces, indicating that the person was still in the town.

But when Haiwen entered the town for a walk, his face suddenly changed, because he saw Amon's carriage at a glance at the market. After walking over and inquiring, he heard that a foreigner sold the car at a very cheap price. Together with the two tired horses, he only changed the best horse in the market and had already left the town and galloped away.

Vitru's ambush pounced on the sky, and Amon had already left! With such delay, Amon should have entered Tanis City.

After hearing the news, Vitrul said angrily: "Did this bastard know that we are following us for a long time and deliberately teasing me? After he is caught and interrogated, he must be dismembered from pieces!"

Haiwen's face was also a little ugly. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "He may not know that we are following us. He just erased all the traces of his whereabouts before he arrived at the city-state. This person is indeed quite cautious. But it doesn't matter. If he enters the city-state, we can search him."

Shute couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Can Lord Vitrul still use magic to track it?"

Vitru wanted to glar at him and held back, explaining: "At such a long distance, there is no detection information to search, how can I track it?"

Shute said again: "Since Captain Havin can chase the ruts, or chase the horse's hoofs or footprints?"

Haiwen said angrily: "It's a stone road when entering the city-state, and there are so many people, how can we find his footprints?"

Vitru sneered again: "It's already dark. He can't be tired after traveling for so many days. He will definitely live in the city tonight. I have a good personal relationship with Lord Tanis. Then I will move out of Lord Julian's name to find an excuse to go to a city search. I don't believe he can still hide it!"

Haiwen reminded: "You can't take action in the city-state. This time it's a secret operation. I'll keep an eye on him first."
