There are not many missions in the Desert of Despair, and there are even fewer that can catch the eye of the Hand of Light. But as a seventh-level demon hunting group, it has always had a fixed station here. However, the station is not in the city, but in a place in the north of the city.
In a small village.
The next day, early morning.
"There are quite a lot of sand camels." Behind a big tree, Ye Ze set up a pergola and looked at the village.
In the large fence on the outskirts of the village, groups of sand camels, numbering at least two thousand, were strolling.
Different from the old, weak, sick and disabled people that Victor and others searched for, these sand camels are all over three meters tall, each one is fat and strong, and full of energy.
"How about it? Do these meet the standards?" Yeze turned back to Snake and asked, "How many do we need?"
"These sand camels are all of the best quality. Too many are useless. One person rides three people and brings enough supplies. They can last in the desert for at least a month. But..." Snake asked uncertainly: "Do you really want to fight?
What are these sand camels’ ideas?”
"I'm not a thief!" Ye Ze said righteously: "I just discussed with them and gave us some."
Snake asked: "Then what are you doing hiding here?"
Yeze replied matter-of-factly: "It's not convenient at dawn."
Snake rolled his eyes.
Later, Ye Ze let Snake lead him to the edge of the Desert of Despair to have a look.
The Desert of Despair is more than fifty miles away from Bulat City. It is a desert made of geological reasons. It is in a basin and surrounded by mountains. The geology of the Desert of Despair is very special. It is a special kind of red soil. This kind of red soil absorbs sunlight.
After that, the heat will be emitted several times. But at night, the heat will dissipate and the temperature will become extremely cold. The higher the altitude, the stronger the cold and heat. The mountains surrounding the desert have a similar soil structure. Therefore
, even the beast monsters have a hard time climbing over it. The only way in and out of the Desert of Despair is the red canyon.
Back then, the dark gold-level magician Sepp Bulat was in the red canyon to stop the beast-demon craze. Nowadays, the canyon is an important place where the Imperial Army's heavy troops are stationed, and it is also the headquarters of the Second Legion guarding here.
Ye Ze has obtained the mission permit from the Demon Hunter Guild and can enter at any time. However, the main purpose of Ye Ze's visit today is to explore the area.
Ye Ze first walked around the military camp and chatted with the soldiers guarding the camp. Then he stopped for a while in a small forest near the canyon, made some marks, and then returned with Snake.
After returning, Yeze immediately began pre-war mobilization and asked Victor to purchase the necessary supplies according to the list issued by Snake, but instead of transporting them back to the station, they sent them to the grove outside the canyon and left someone to guard them. And Yeze
Ze himself visited major pharmacies in the city, purchased a large number of medicinal materials, set up two large pots in the yard, and began to boil the medicine.
When it comes to refining medicine, Ye Ze is far inferior to little Susan, a genuine pharmacist. But when it comes to refining anesthetics, Ye Ze dares to say that few people are worse than him.
The next day, everyone else was busy. Victor and others continued to purchase and transport supplies. Bernhard also went to buy some items for alchemy. Even Angelina went shopping with Elaine for the first time, leaving only
Yeze himself was stirring his two big pots of medicine in the yard.
Ye Ze wore a single coat, wrapped a cloth strip around his nose, held a long wooden stick, and stirred vigorously with sweat all over his head. The thick medicinal smell could kill even a skunk. If it weren't for this smell,
Angelina will not agree to go shopping with Elaine.
While Yeze was stirring Huanshi, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Is Captain Yeze of the Hand of Darkness here?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Ze walked out with a stick in his hand, stood at the door of the courtyard and looked out.
I saw a warrior in his thirties standing outside the door. He was tall and well-proportioned, with short brown hair, deep and penetrating eyes, and two curved gentleman's beards above his lips. He exuded strong and stable energy.
Fluctuation, gold level magic sealer.
A gold-level magic-sealing master can already restrain his energy and make it difficult to detect. This person's fluctuations are so obvious, which is obviously deliberate.
Yeze frowned and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
The man had already smelled a strange smell, and as soon as Ye Ze came out, the smell hit his nostrils even more. He couldn't help but take two steps back, covered his nose, and said: "I come from the Hand of Light, and I have something to see your Captain Ye Ze.
"
The man seemed to be speaking politely, but his tone was filled with uncontrollable arrogance.
Ye Ze waved his stick and said, "The leader is not here. Come back tomorrow if you have something to do."
Yeze didn't like this person's tone on the one hand, and on the other hand, he felt that his current appearance was not good and was damaging to his reputation.
The warrior seemed unwilling to talk to Yeze too much, and said, "Is Fakhla here?"
"Fakhla?" Ye Ze's heart moved and he said, "Fakhla went shopping with her man and is not here either."
The man was stunned for a moment, then a flash of anger flashed across his face, and he said coldly: "Boy, you'd better not talk nonsense. What a man, Fakhla is still single."
"Whether you are single or not is none of your business." Ye Ze glared and said, "Who do you think you are?"
"I am Jared! Viscount of the Empire, deputy commander of the Hands of Light!" The warrior was furious: "Why are you so uneducated? You deserve a beating!"
With that said, Jared stepped forward and reached out to grab Yeze's shoulder.
Yeze didn't even move, but with a bang, the stick hit Jared's hand.
Jared grinned in pain and took a few steps back, with a mixture of shame and anger on his face.
"You're looking for death!" Jared reached out and pulled out the sharp sword from his waist.
Yeze curled his lips in disdain and swung his stick: "Let you try my dog-beating stick!"
The two sides were about to get into a fight, but just when Jared was about to swing his sword forward, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jared, and a hoarse voice sounded.
"Captain Yeze, this is not the way you should treat guests."
"Of course I will welcome the visitors, but if you encounter a vicious dog, you still have to beat it." Yeze poked the ground with the big stick and said with a smile: "Deputy Captain Birba, you are fine."
The man in the field revealed his figure, with a thin figure and dead eyes. He was none other than Birba, a tenth-level gold-level magic sealer who had fought against Ye Ze.
"Is he Yeze?" Jared's face was uncertain, and he slowly put the sword into its sheath.
He wouldn't care about an ordinary silver-level person, but if it was Ye Ze, it was a different matter. Not only was he an identity, but more importantly, he was afraid of Ye Ze's abnormal strength that was difficult to grasp with common sense.
"I haven't seen you for a year, Silver level." Bilbao nodded slightly and said to Yeze: "Soon, we can continue the unfinished competition."
"I can continue at any time after I complete the task in front of me." Yeze looked at Birba, with fighting intent in his eyes.
Ye Ze has fought against many gold-level powerhouses, but Birba is the only one who can maintain an overwhelming advantage even when he uses his immortality ability. Moreover, he has not used his full strength.
"Very good look!" Birba seemed satisfied, but then shook his head and said, "But I'm not here to fight with you this time."
Ye Ze glanced at Jared and said thoughtfully: "Is it because of the conflict between the two demon hunting groups a few days ago?"
"My skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to worry about if I lose." Bilba did not deny it, and said: "But Jared thinks it would be better to come and see you."
"Is that so..." Ye Ze looked at Jared playfully and said, "I'm afraid, the real purpose is not just that."
Jared couldn't see his expression at this time, and said calmly: "Both of our demon hunting groups have a certain connection with the empire, and it would be unsightly to have a tense relationship. I came to see Captain Yeze this time to resolve the misunderstanding...
…”
"Okay, I accept your kindness." Yeze interrupted Jared and said sincerely: "The misunderstanding has been resolved, nothing happens, you two can just do whatever you want."
Ye Ze played a card out of common sense, and Jared was choked, and his face turned blue and white. But Bilbao didn't care, as if it didn't matter to him.
Jared wanted to leave, but he just couldn't let it go. After holding it in for a long time, he asked with a blushing face: "Captain Monroe asked me to convey something to Fakhla. I don't know who Fakhla is going out with."
When will you come back?"
"Oh, she just went out with her man. I don't know when. They often go shopping together until very late before coming back to rest." Yeze pretended not to know and said enthusiastically: "Tell me if you have anything to say. I will
Be sure to tell them, the young couple."
"You..." Jared's beard trembled with anger, he stamped his feet fiercely, turned around and left without looking back.
"Walk slowly..." Yeze waved goodbye.
Birba shook his head and said: "You really haven't changed at all. If you offend Jared, you will be in a lot of trouble."
"If you don't offend me now, you will do the same in the future." Yeze shrugged indifferently and asked, "But he came here to pick up girls, why did you come with him?"
Although Birba is the deputy leader of the Hand of Light, he does not have much sense of belonging to the Hand of Light. Yeze discovered this when he chatted with Birba at the school grounds in Bayreuth. Birba was in the Hand of Light
, just to improve himself through experience. And there is sufficient logistical support to allow him to concentrate on training. Therefore, Ye Ze has no dealings with the Hand of Light, but there is no barrier between him and Birba.
Birba said: "I just arrived today and heard the people below report the conflict with you. Jared insisted on coming to argue with you, so I followed him."
"Are you afraid that I'll beat him?" Ye Ze asked with a smile.
"No one knows your strength better than me." Bilba looked at Ye Ze: "After all, I am still the deputy captain, and I cannot let the Hand of Light be humiliated."
"I don't see that you have a sense of responsibility. I thought you didn't care." Yeze asked with a laugh: "You are here for the scepter of the saint, right?"
Birba nodded and said: "The dozen or so demon hunting groups gathered in Brat City now must be for this reason. They are still relatively harmonious now, but it will be hard to tell when they enter the desert."
Ye Ze was mentally prepared for this and said with a smile: "If we meet, remember to show mercy."
Birba glanced at Ye Ze and also smiled: "Both each other..."
Watching Birba leave, Yeze's brows furrowed even more.
He will not be afraid of competing with the Hand of Light, but since the two deputy captains are here, the other main members must also be here. As a result, the plan to "buy" Shatuo from the Hand of Light will be a bit troublesome.
You could hear it in Bilbao's words just now. Even if he didn't have a sense of belonging, he wouldn't just sit back and watch Ye Ze steal the team's sand camel.
We have to lure them all away!
If you put some effort into Fakhla and Maris, it will not be difficult to lure Jared and Birba out. But there are other members, and they are not the only ones in the gold level...
"Elaine, can you stop pestering me?"
"Sister Angelina, what did you say? We agreed to go horse riding outside the city together. You can't go back on your word..."
Ye Ze was feeling worried when he suddenly saw two girls, Angelina and Elaine, walking from a distance one after the other.
"Yes!" Looking at Elaine, Yeze's eyes lit up:
"How could I forget that guy!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site), give rewards, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
