"How long has he been gone?"
Lin Ke asked.
"Less than half a day."
The principal recalled and estimated, "He left late at night. If all goes well, he should be here by now."
After hearing the principal's words, Lin Ke just started thinking quickly.
Obviously, if Elisha had headed for the agreed road as planned, he should have arrived by now and found that the Holy Egyptian Alliance army had already left.
Lin Ke guessed that after Elisha discovered that the Holy Egyptian Alliance army had left, he might return to this basement. Of course, he might also go to other places to look for reinforcements.
But no matter what, the premise of all this is that the avenue is still safe.
Lin Ke continued to ask questions at this time.
"How far is this highway that Elisha mentioned? What's the road like?"
The avenue that Lin Ke mentioned refers to the official road where the Holy Egyptian Alliance army traveled.
The principal shook his head before answering, "Sir, only Elisha knows the exact route. He must have taken a path we are not familiar with."
"However, I have some idea of how long it will take to get to the avenue. Just follow the main road to the east and you will arrive."
"Normally, it would take about three hours, right? If Elisha chooses to go by the small road, it might take even longer."
After hearing this, Lin Ke nodded slightly.
He looked at the basement, and then at the people below who were cowering or sticking their heads out out of curiosity and fear.
Now, what he wanted to know was whether these guys would leave here, and whether this place was really that safe?
At least when Elisha returns, he will have a place to stay, so Lin Ke will still be able to find him.
"So what are you going to do now?"
Lin Ke asked.
The principal thought for a moment and responded, "We plan to stay for two more days before heading to a small mountain village nearby."
"It's a secluded little village, surrounded by mountains and forests. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we have weapons and more people, we'll be able to ensure our own safety."
When Lin Ke heard this, he just nodded.
If Elisha returns in two days, he will definitely be able to meet the principal and others again.
Finally, Lin Ke looked at the sky again.
It was already morning, and if Elisha had proceeded according to plan, he should have been approaching or reaching the avenue by now.
The question is, are there any enemies nearby?
Lin Ke opened the civilization panel at this time and took a quick look at the surrounding situation.
Of course, the first thing to be excluded is the city of Hebron, and secondly, the area surrounding the city of Hebron.
For Elisha could not have been there unless he had been captured soon after setting out.
Lin Ke knew that Elisha was very familiar with the terrain around the city of Hebron, not to mention that he was traveling in the dark of night.
Lin Ke was at least certain that if he wanted to find Elisha, it would be best to check the area near that avenue.
"Principal, have you sent anyone to the village to investigate the situation?"
Nan Tong seemed to have thought of something at this time, and he asked.
The principal immediately responded, "Sir, we don't have any extra staff, so after discussing it last night, we decided to send a team to the village this morning to prepare."
“But before daybreak, Elisha had already left.”
Nan Tong continued to ask, "In other words, no one knows for sure whether the village is safe?"
The principal nodded, agreeing with what Nan Tong said.
"Principal, I hope you won't go to that village for the time being until Elisha returns."
"This is unsafe. The department might as well stay in this basement for a few more days."
The principal continued to nod, but his expression became somewhat embarrassed, and the expressions of several people around him also showed slight dissatisfaction.
"Master Magician, we..."
Just as he was about to speak, Nan Tong threw all the dry food he was carrying into the bag.
"This should be enough to last you a day or two."
"Don't go out casually during this period. As long as you don't go out and are not discovered, this place will still be safe."
After saying this, Nan Tong turned his head and looked at Lin Ke.
"Sir, what should we do if Elisha reaches the main road and finds that the Holy Egyptian Alliance army has already left?"
"I'm afraid we all have to leave at once. It's daybreak now, and he won't have anywhere to hide."
"By now, checkpoints have been set up at every intersection in the city of Hebron, and Elisha is already half a day's journey ahead of us."
Obviously, Nan Tong meant to set off immediately without further delay.
Lin Ke continued to search in the civilization panel and had found several abnormal places.
There is a place where many "enemies" surround the "friendly" sign.
In one place, several "friendly" signs were moving slowly along the avenue.
As for the rest, there are some scattered "enemy" signs and some scattered "friendly" signs.
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes and judged that if Elisha arrived at the avenue, it should be in the morning, shortly after dawn.
So, Elisha was either still near the highway or he had already started his journey home.
Or, he has been captured by the enemy.
He looked at the information on the civilization panel, prepared to prepare for the worst-case scenario and make plans accordingly.
After all, as long as he is alive, everything will be fine.
But if you get caught or killed, things will be much more troublesome.
"So we need to take a shortcut, and I remember there's a hunter trail in the area that can cut the journey in half."
The path that Lin Ke was talking about was the path that Elisha had taken him on before.
"Hunter's Trail?"
The principal looked up in surprise: "Sir, you actually know that road?"
Lin Ke simply continued, "I surveyed this area many years ago. The road there is difficult and rugged, but it avoids all checkpoints and main passages."
The principal nodded. "That's right, sir."
"But that road is extremely dangerous. There are many cliffs and swamps along the way. It is even more difficult to travel at night. Even experienced hunters dare not walk that road at night."
"Although there are no enemies, there might be ferocious beasts occasionally. My Lord, you should think twice before doing this!"
Lin Ke just glanced at Nan Tong and raised his head slightly: "It's okay, we have a magician with us."
Nan Tong understood what the Holy Pharaoh meant and nodded slightly in response.
"Then, without further ado, let's set off now."
"Oh, there's more."
"If I come back and find that anyone is missing."
"Don't blame me for being rude."
After Lin Ke finished speaking, he threw some bread and a kettle in.
