The next day, Zhu Youji followed the requirements of "The Book of Qualitativeness" and said nothing when eating and sleeping.
Spent the day peacefully.
Zhu Youji and his party headed north and passed two or three villages.
Finally arrived at Huangbei City and rested for a while.
At night, in the deserted northern city, the city lord's mansion.
"Wei Chen, the Lord of Huangbei City, Liu Xi, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess." A middle-aged man in official uniform with a mustache on his face saluted respectfully to Princess Zhenyuan.
Princess Zhenyuan still had that cold attitude, nodded slightly, and said: "Well, be careful and don't relax."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." City Lord Liu Xi saluted quickly.
At this time, Gao Subaru, the leader of the adventurer team, walked up to Zhu Youji and said softly: "Master Liu, according to the current progress, it will take us at least seven or eight days to reach the Lost Desert."
"What suggestions do you have?" Zhu Youji heard the deep meaning in Gao Subaru's words and asked.
"Master Liu, I suggest you divert to Langbei City, borrow the airship there, and fly directly to the nearest city in the Lost Desert, Mobei City."
"In this case, the time can be shortened to three days." Gao Subaru, as an adventurer who is familiar with the situation of the city in Dafeng, put forward his own opinion.
"Detour to Langbeicheng..."
Zhu Youji frowned slightly, sketched the map of Dafeng in his mind, briefly distinguished it, and understood what the adventurer captain meant.
Normally, the general route of the adventurer team is from Yejing, the capital of Dafeng, to Huangbei City, then along the most famous cities in the north of Dafeng, and finally to the Lost Desert.
This route is considered the safest route, because they are all in big cities, and the route is still an official road. The road is flat, safe, and easy to walk.
The route mentioned by the adventurer captain is actually a route that only wealthy businessmen would take. First of all, airships are expensive, and coupled with various factors such as the road and weather, there are great uncertainties and problems are prone to occur. .
Therefore, unless you are in a hurry or are not short of money, you will rarely take a flight that exceeds half a day.
Due to various reasons, Zhu Youji and Princess Dafeng did not regard this plan as their first choice.
However, after Gao Subaru's reminder, Zhu Youji felt that the airship was indeed a good choice.
Because at high altitude, he is not completely helpless.
After all, he has the first-generation mechanical armor, and to a certain extent, he is more powerful than a warrior in the extraordinary realm.
"I will consider your suggestion." Zhu Youji did not agree directly, but said that he would consider it.
About a stick of incense later, Princess Zhenyuan drove away City Lord Liu Xi and came to Zhu Youji's side.
"I heard the airship suggestion, and I think it's good." Princess Zhenyuan didn't want to waste time, especially when she was lost in the desert and didn't know how long it would take to explore.
"Okay, then you can make the arrangements." Zhu Youji thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, I will charter an airship." Princess Zhenyuan is worthy of being a wealthy person, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she chartered the operation of the airship.
Zhu Youji seemed to have guessed that this owner who was not short of money would do this, and said directly: "If you take the airship, those horses are not needed. In the desert, horses are not necessary. It is best to prepare some useful ones." Camels with special bloodline can help us store enough water and supplies in the desert environment."
"I'll let Lang Beicheng prepare it." Princess Zhenyuan also nodded, thinking that Zhu Youji's consideration was reasonable.
Originally, horses were equipped because they had to travel long distances, but when exploring the desert, horses were of little use.
Even if a horse has a mythical bloodline, it won't be of much help to the entire team.
Therefore, necessary abandonment is necessary.
…
One day later, on the airship flying to Mobei City.
Just an hour ago, Zhu Youji and others completed the handover in Langbeicheng.
All the horses were left in Langbeicheng.
Under Princess Zhenyuan's instructions in advance, when Zhu Youji and others arrived at Langbeicheng, the city lord Wang Xi had already prepared more than thirty camels with special bloodlines.
After Xuantianwei simply showed his ID, the city lord Wang Xi knew that the princess was here. After bowing quickly, he handed the camels to Zhu Youji and his party.
"Estimating the time, we can arrive in Mobei City around tomorrow afternoon."
"Gao Subaru, please tell us the details of Lost in the Desert."
"A safe route requires you to lead the way."
Zhu Youji called several people in charge to the conference room and looked at Gao Subaru from the adventure team.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Gao Subaru.
At this moment, people from the three parties gathered in the conference room.
One party is naturally Zhu Youji.
On one side is Princess Zhenyuan and Captain Zhao Heng of Xuantian Guard, representing the power of the Da Feng royal family.
On the other side is Yu Xi, the leader of the adventurer team Gao Subaru, who represents the power of Xingtian Pavilion.
This exploration of the Lost Desert is an operation led by Zhu Youji and supported by two forces.
On the surface, everyone is exploring the Lost Desert, hoping to get clues about the Kunlun Mirror and seek benefits.
But in fact, it is more of a trial and an opportunity to build future cooperation.
The Kunlun Mirror is of course important, no doubt, but Zhu Youji is also very important.
After all, a great Confucian with a mysterious origin represents an extremely mysterious force.
This is also the reason why Empress Dafeng and the owner of Xingtian Pavilion are willing to spend money to explore the Lost Desert.
Gao Subaru nodded, stood up, spread out the desert map he had prepared a long time ago, pointed to a city above, and explained: "This is Mobei City, the northernmost city in the entire Dafeng, and also the most visited by caravans. A dense city.”
"In the Lost Desert, there are hidden inexhaustible rare treasures, the remains of special spiritual beasts, and the crystallization of desert beasts. There is also a legend spread in the Lost Desert. One day, heavy rain fell and the desert was covered. If it turns into a puddle, the ancient palace hidden under the sand will emerge, and the opportunity to become a god is hidden inside."
"Of course, it has never rained in the Lost Desert for so many years, let alone heavy downpours."
Princess Zhenyuan looked at the map and asked casually: "I heard that your team once went deep into the Lost Desert and brought out a lot of things from the ancient ruins. Where is the ruins?"
"Here." Gao Subaru pointed to a point on the map and explained: "In the Lost Desert, up, down, left, and right are all upside down. The reason why it is called the Lost Desert is because as long as you go deep into the desert, if you are not careful, you will Completely lost in this boundless desert, until death of thirst or hunger."
"Up, down, left and right, are they all upside down?" Zhao Heng, captain of the Xuantian Guard team, looked at the points and routes on the ground and asked, "If it is upside down, how did the safe channel be discovered?"
