The wind and sand continued all night, the sun rose and the night ended, and the warm sun in the early morning dispelled the coldness of the night in the desert.
"Uh uh..." That night, Cesanil hid in the corner with the wind and slept on the floor. When he woke up, his body was almost stiff. At this movement, Monina made a hmm sound, and she curled up in Cesanil's arms.
She was still sleeping soundly in front of her. Because she was only wearing high-cut tights and had caught the cold at night, she was still shrinking into Cesanil's chest, and her whole face was buried in Cesanil's arms. The side of her body was exposed.
With a beautiful childish face, she kept her mouth shut, and one of her wings covered the two of them, sleeping soundly.
Cesanil had just woken up and was still unconscious. After a while, he suddenly woke up and looked around. The figure of the red-haired man was gone, and even a camel tied nearby was gone. He
Quickly lifting her wings and sitting up, Monina was also woken up: "What's wrong?"
Cesanil ran around and looked around, then flew into the air, but no one could be seen anywhere.
"He's missing?" Monina flew into the air to help search for him.
"Damn it!" Cesaniel was secretly angry. He was always alert and didn't even know when he fell asleep: "Why did I sleep so deeply last night? I don't even know what he did to lead the camel away. Ah, that's not right.
!He must have drugged me, but when..."
Cesaniel concluded that he would not have slept so deeply, and must have been drugged to sleep. But when he thought about how vigilant he had been yesterday, the other party would not have the chance to attack him, including the piece of steak he robbed.
He had already paid attention when eating, not to mention that grabbing the steak was a sudden move on his part, and the red-haired man could not have predicted it in advance.
Suddenly something clicked in his mind: "Ah, it's those pepper and salt grains! He must have mixed the hypnotic drug into it when he sprinkled the pepper and powder, and used the smell of meat and pepper to cover up the smell of the drug."
Thinking of this, he was shocked again: "He must have thought that I would be more vigilant about the first piece of steak, and he would only start on the second piece of steak after I relaxed my vigilance. So it didn't matter whether I would steal it from him or not.
He would fry the second piece of steak, and at that time I was still thinking of ways to anger him. Damn it, this guy is so thoughtful!"
Cesanil looked at the directions around him, took out a map and compared it: "Which direction will he go? North? Or other directions? Based on this guy's scheming, I am sure the magic bottle is on him!
He put away the map, dropped it to the ground and picked up his camel: "Go north to the depths of the desert. This is the direction he went before, but it may have confused me. You can leave the desert by going west or south. To the south is
Will he go west in the direction we came from? The east is still desert, but it can lead to other places... Monina, go east and have a look."
One of the two people was riding a camel, and the other was flying in the sky. After walking a certain distance, they found a pile of camel dung in a grassy place. There was only one pile of camel dung, so it was not a caravan, and the dung was very fresh, so it must be
It was left within two or three hours. Cesaniel said: "He really went east."
Just when Cesanil pulled the reins of the camel and chased eastward, the red-haired man asked the camel to leave a pile of dung in the grass, then turned and slowly headed south.
…
After nearly two days of travel, Alice and her party arrived in Kongsburg.
Kongsburg used to be a militarized town. At that time, the desertification in the north was not as serious as it is now, and the country that ruled this land at that time was not the current Toliba Kingdom. In order to resist the threat from the north, the king at that time decided to
An important military fortress was built in this area, which gave Kongsberg its name. However, as time has changed, the story of that year has become history. Kongsberg lost its role in resisting foreign enemies and gradually fell into disuse until recent years.
This became a market town where nearby villages and nomads gathered to purchase goods.
Kongsberg is not big, but there are many people, because today is the day when the market starts from the end of the month to the beginning of the month. The nomads and villagers nearby have gathered here to buy the necessary items for the next month. The residents who live here are all
It was renovated based on the old houses. Many people have actually lived here for a long, long time. Not far from the gathering place of the townspeople, you can see a fortress. The fortress has gone through the wind and frost and has long been uninhabited.
It's gone, and only the ruins and broken walls remain to show the outline of its glory back then.
"This is Kongsberg." Alice and the five of them were walking in the market with the desert dodoo. The crowd here was dense, and there were no officers and soldiers here to maintain order. It was all up to everyone's consciousness, so it seemed bustling and a bit chaotic.
After walking for a while, we saw a small shop selling meat soup and meat noodles at the T-intersection of the market. Because it smelled so good, we decided to eat here.
The meat offal mainly includes horse meat offal, mutton offal and camel offal. Each of the five people ordered one according to their preference. After a while, the meat offal and noodles were served.
Rourke took a bite and thought it was good. He asked everyone: "How should we look for it later? Shall we look for it separately?"
Lucas said: "The place here is not big, so let's search separately. Let's make an appointment and meet at the foot of the fortress over there. Whoever finds it first will be taken there. No matter whether we find it or not, we will be there before six o'clock in the afternoon.
go."
"Okay, that's it."
After eating the noodles, everyone split up to look for people. Alice searched all the way along the market streets. She paid special attention to people with black hair when she met them. When she arrived at the residents' residences and hotels, she would go up and ask, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find them.
people.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Alice had already arrived at the foot of Kongsberg. Unexpectedly, someone came earlier than her.
"How's it going?" Komand was sitting on a fallen thick stone pillar, tapping the surface of the stone pillar with the metal ankle brace on his leather boots out of boredom.
Alice shook her head: "I didn't find it."
Not long after, Jennifer, Lucas, and Rourke also came back one after another. When everyone looked at each other, they knew that no one was there. Rourke said: "How could it be? The market town is not big. It's impossible."
I won’t be able to find anyone.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Unless he didn't come at all." Komande said.
"But we are already here. Is it possible to go back and think of another way?" Rourke said.
"It seems the clue is lost." Jennifer looked at Lucas.
Lucas was a little reluctant and said, "Let's look for it again and meet here again in two hours."
Two hours later, five people gathered here. Comander spread his hands, which meant that he had not found it. Lucas sighed: "The clues are really broken. Losing the whereabouts of Cesanil is equivalent to losing the search for magic."
Bottle target.”
"I've been busy for so many days in vain. I've been making trouble for a long time, but my things have been snatched away by others. It's really frustrating." Comand said, leaning on the stone pillar: "The clues to the Sand Temple have been interrupted here.
If you continue to search, you will have to look for clues again.”
Everyone was a little discouraged.
Alice asked curiously: "What exactly is the Sand Temple you are talking about, and why do you have to find it?"
"This is a secret that cannot be told. In short, this is our mission, and we must find the location of the Sand Temple." Komande said.
"Mercenary mission?"
"That's right."
After one night, they spent another day searching in Kongsberg. On the morning of the third day, Alice and the five of them met again.
Jennifer asked: "Alice, where are you going to go next?"
Alice shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I will continue to look for the person who stole the magic bottle, or maybe I will go to other places. I don't have a specific target yet."
"That's it." Jennifer said, "Well, Alice, the four of us discussed it last night. Maybe it's time to say goodbye."
"So you gave up?"
Jennifer said: "It's not that I give up, but that I have no choice. There is no direction, and my companions and I can't continue to be delayed here, so it's time to leave."
"Then where are you going?" Alice asked.
Jennifer said: "We are mercenaries, and we should go where we have missions. Of course, we will not forget to find new clues about the Tomb of Glonas and the Sand Temple during the process."
Alice shrugged: "Okay then. By the way, where is the sheepskin map? You don't want it anymore?"
Jennifer said: "We have thought about this. In fact, we have a common goal, so if you find relevant clues in the future, or if we find it, we will find a way to contact each other. As for the incomplete sheepskin map
, Anyway, we can’t figure out the contents of the map inside now, so we won’t worry about putting it on you.”
Alice was right. Their main target was at the Sand Temple, and her target was at Long Zero. There was no conflict between the two sides. If they found clues, they could help each other. She nodded and said, "That's fine."
Jennifer said: "We have a continent-wide mailbox at the World Bank. If you have any news, just send it to the 'Barren Rock City Mailbox' with the name 'Corpse Fly Team Collection'. We will go to the mailbox from time to time."
Check the receipt."
The continent-wide mailbox, also known as the world mailbox, as the name suggests, is a mailbox that is used throughout the continent. It is different from ordinary mailboxes. Ordinary mailboxes can only be used for point-to-point mailing, but the continent-wide mailbox does not matter where the recipient is in the mainland.
As long as the World Bank exists, letters or emails can be sent and received. Back then, Linda and Bing Zhixie used this kind of mailbox.
Alice looked at them and said, "You also have a world mailbox, which costs a lot to rent for a year."
Jennifer smiled and said: "That mailbox is not just for us, we can use it." As she said that, she took out a pen and paper, wrote down the words "Bald Rock City and Corpse Fly" and handed it to Alice.
Alice said: "Okay then, goodbye."
"goodbye."
After the four Jennifers left, Alice looked at the note: "Bald Rock City?" She scratched her head: "I think I heard it somewhere. Forget it, I should think of my own solution after they left.
Since you can’t find anyone here, it’s better to find someone to interpret the contents on the sheepskin map. Maybe someone knows the location marked on it.”
