After a brief respite, the two resumed their journey.
Over the next two days, they traveled by night, hiding during the day.
They traversed mountains and waded through streams, navigating as if on level ground.
While there were moments of peril, with Luna, a native well-acquainted with the Central Mountains, leading the way, they encountered no significant mishaps.
Two days later.
The duo reached the heart of the Central Mountains, where a hidden passage to the Silver Lunar elf tribe lay.
According to Luna, this secret passage was carved a millennium ago when the Silver Lunar elf tribe still inhabited the Central Plains.
It was created as a defensive measure against monster tide attacks.
When the Silver Lunar elf tribe later relocated deeper into the Central Mountains, the passage fell into disuse.
Sebastian's only way to the Silver Lunar elf tribe was through this secret passage.
