The purpose of having Elise and the others use the Any Door Scroll is to avoid leaving footprints within a 500-ter radius.
At this mont, the blizzard has just passed, and the footprints on the path have been almost entirely covered by the thick white snow.
Therefore, as long as Elise and the others do not leave footprints within the 500-ter range, the other party is very likely to track his footprints north and pursue relentlessly.
As for what lies to the north?
In four words — Frost Hamr Fortress.
In fact, whether or not the other side pursues, Raine had long planned to head to Frost Hamr Fortress and attempt to kill a Frost Giant.
However, the plan needs to be slightly altered now.
"Mr. Raine, although your strength far surpasses ours, there are two Transcendents on the other side..." Schneider said with a frown, "How about I accompany you! This mission, after all, was my invitation to you."
"Yes! Raine, I’ll go with you!" Laisa, who was straightforward and blunt, imdiately volunteered upon hearing Raine was going to distract the extraordinary strong person alone.
"Right! There’s strength in numbers..."
...
"You can’t, your strength is too weak."
At this mont, a cold voice sounded, and redith walked over to Raine, demonstrating her stance through her actions.
"I have so experience dealing with extraordinary-level strong people."
redith’s words were straightforward and unsentintal.
However, to those present, her words sounded like heavenly music.
Schneider and Laisa looked at each other and imdiately stopped insisting.
Raine looked at redith with a bit of surprise, seeing her calm expression, not seeming to joke, he thought briefly and nodded, saying: "Alright, then let’s go together."
Raine also wanted to inquire from redith about her experience confronting extraordinary strong people on the way.

anwhile.
A thousand miles to the west of the Ice Lake region.
In the most luxurious banquet hall of Bornberry’s castle, Governor Marquis Gareth was entertaining several distinguished guests.
However, at the mont, the atmosphere in the dining room decorated with antlers and crossed steel swords was not so pleasant.
"Marquis Gareth, while I didn’t co solely for the issue of the Black Fist Army moving in, patience above has nearly run out." A man with thick eyebrows, a walrus mustache, and a chiseled face said calmly.
And Marquis Gareth, with a beautifully styled mustache and clad in noble hunting attire with gold thread embroidery, was already sweating profusely on his forehead, saying:
"Mr. Olaf, I’m still considering it, still considering."
"Marquis Gareth, ti waits for no one."
"Furthermore, we are doing this for the future of humankind. Order can only be forged with an iron hand and fear!"
"Indeed! Indeed!" Although Marquis Gareth internally disagreed, facing a transcendent being, at this mont, he could only awkwardly nod in agreent.
Just then, Olaf’s expression suddenly changed, and he pulled out a crystal from his pocket.
This crystal glowed intermittently with a red hue, indicating the highest level of alert from the bronze squads of the regint.
’Is it the Bone Gnawers?’ Olaf frowned imdiately.
The Bone Gnawers only issue this level of warning when faced with life-and-death crises.
Yet, they had just communicated that they had found roughly the location of the ruins.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Marquis Gareth, but I must go." Olaf said.
This operation centered around him and Secret Master Salno, with High-tier Priest Lysil undergoing a special transition into a Black Hand Priest, hence not accompanying this ti.
While he was in Bornberry, he was waiting for Secret Master Salno to convene before setting off together.
But now, it seems he must go ahead and check the situation first.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to see who had the audacity to target soone from ’Nightmare Blade’.
Of course, the main reason was that the ’Necromancy Crystal’ must be secured, if soone else got it first....
"Ah? So soon? Won’t you stay a few more days, Mr. Olaf?" Marquis Gareth said with a reluctant face, but if looked closely, joy was evident in his eyes.
"If Salno arrives tomorrow morning, tell him I’ve gone ahead to Lankote Snowfield." Olaf said, standing up and advising the nearby captain of the ’Dusk Sword’ squad.
"Understood, sir!"
"However... on the Lankote Snowfield, it’s best not to ride a Griffin directly across. It might draw the attention of flying demons; although encountering a White Dragon is not very likely, you could encounter an Ice Wind Chira in that area."
Olaf nodded.
A few minutes later.
A Griffin soared into the sky, carrying Olaf—known as the "Shield of Winter"—flying swiftly northeast towards the Lankote Snowfield.
