The twins could see the mountains starting to gradually disappear behind them. They also saw how the merchants cheered nonstop together with the guards. Nevertheless, the twins still had some hope, so they looked at Cynthia and asked, "Ahem...those mountains behind us couldn't possibly be the exit of the Ukilas Valley, right? There must be some continuation ahead. Yes, definitely! There's almost no way we could have avoided all the bandits with a caravan of this size...wasn't it you who said that? Where are our bandits?!"
