Sefiqa's sudden collapse plunged the already depressed and restless oasis survivors into a complete depression. They didn't even have the intention to continue interrogating Kafu.
Except for a few children who did not realize the seriousness of the problem, everyone else's faces showed the expression "I'm tired, destroy it, hurry up".
"What's going on?" Kafu looked at these discouraged desert survivors in confusion, and quietly asked Kuqiu strangely, "What's going on with Sefiqa...wait, why are you also like this?"
expression?"
"Perhaps this is fate?" Cuchu blinked and forced a bitter smile, "Sefiqa is only twenty-six and already unable to withstand the power of fate. This fire may be the trumpet of fate.
Urging everyone to leave..."
"What are you talking about?" Kraft showed a puzzled expression, "What on earth is going on?!"
"I told you, Sefiqa is our Bonu, and his family has been our Bonu for generations." Cuchu looked at Sefiqa being carried away by people in a hurry, and lowered his head.
He spoke loudly, "Bonu uses the Stone of Destiny and is the only spell caster here."
"Yes, you also said that Sefiqa is the strongest spell caster you have ever seen!" Kafu nodded, "But what does this have to do with fate?"
"I didn't tell you that every Bonu here will gradually stiffen in the last stage of life and eventually become a statue." Cuchu sighed, "This is the fate of every Bonu, they will not because of
Aging and death will lead to the end of destiny..."
"..."
Kafu didn't speak, but at this moment he remembered the records about Weaver Mother in the myths he had read - in the mythical stories, Weaver Mother turned into a stone sculpture after exhausting all her power and waited forever.
With Shurima.
"...Although Bonu's lifespan is not as long as that of ordinary people, he will never become stiff at the age of twenty-six." Cuchu's tone was full of regret, "Sefika
He is just twenty-six years old this year. I have watched him grow up. He is Bonu of Yousi Oasis. Now that Yousi Oasis has been destroyed by a fire, Bonu of Yousi Oasis has also heard the call of fate in advance.
.”
"..."
"Although I don't believe in fate, to be honest, I'm still a little sad at this moment. Kraft, maybe all this is really the guidance of fate. The oil silk oasis has come to an end."
"Hell, how is this possible!" Kraft shook his head and did not accept this argument at all. "If the caster does not control the magic power properly, it is easy for all kinds of accidents to happen - although I don't understand those mysterious guys.
, but petrification is not a rare phenomenon, right?"
"But Sefiqa is only twenty-six this year, do you understand?" Cuchu finally turned his gaze back, his black eyes staring at the unwilling Kafu, "He is the most powerful person I have ever seen.
The spell caster, you saw it too! It’s impossible for him to control his magic power improperly!”
"..."
Being stared at by Kuchu, Kafu could only sigh helplessly in the end.
He finally discovered that his friend's mood at this time was somewhat wrong.
In this case, no matter how you explain or say anything, it has no meaning.
Rather than continuing to explain things like a chicken and a duck, it's better to let him be alone for a while and wait until he figures it out, everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Kafu finally shook his head, took the reins of his camel, and led her to lean against the corner.
As if depression could be contagious, his mood also worsened.
……………………
Outside the oasis, Lux watched helplessly as the flames grew stronger and stronger, eventually sweeping across the entire oasis - and then, when the strong wind blew, the black ashes rolled into a long dragon, flying higher and higher, and finally rolled into the sky.
.
After Kalya's reminder, Lux and Ino, who had moved upwind, were not dyed black by the ashes, but they were still quite uncomfortable seeing the formerly lush oasis reduced to the withered and dilapidated appearance it is now.
Comfortable.
Then, just as they were holding Scarash and waiting behind a sand dune for the remaining heat to dissipate, bursts of smoke and dust rose again in the direction where the black dragon dissipated.
Someone is coming again?
Lux stood on the sand dune, building an awning with her hands and looking in the direction of the smoke.
The distance is too far and the shadows are blurry and unclear.
Fortunately, Lux brought a pair of adjustable telescopes with her when she left Zaun. She quickly found the telescope in Scarash's bag, and then looked in the direction of the smoke again.
This time, Lux could see a lot more clearly.
It is still a group of camel cavalry - but compared with before, the scale of this camel cavalry is much smaller, with only a few scattered and less than a hundred people.
They came all the way towards the Yousi Oasis, and after entering the oasis, they did not intend to get off the camels, and drove the camels towards the lake in the middle of the oasis.
These camel cavalry quickly arrived at the lake, then dispersed and began to circle around the lake.
"What are they doing?" Seeing these camel cavalry taking out their lances and poking at the lake water from time to time, Lux asked with some confusion, "Are they spearing fish?"
"...This has nothing to do with spearfishing." Lux's rich imagination made Kalya speechless for a moment, "This is looking for a shallow water area that can be crossed!"
"They want to cross the water to the island?" Lux finally opened her eyes after hearing this, "Wait a minute, their equipment looks familiar to me... Are they the camel cavalry from before?"
"That should be it." Kalya sighed, "It seems that they are part of the previous batch of camel cavalry."
"What are they doing on the island?" Lux stared at these camel cavalry through the telescope, "Damn, they are so skilled! Could it be that they did all this?!"
"Did you guess it?"
"This can't be true..." Lux's tone was full of disbelief, "They destroyed the oasis with a fire just to plunder the oasis survivors on the central island of the oasis?"
"At present, it seems like this."
"But, didn't their boss go to the island to negotiate with the oasis survivors before?" Lux put down the telescope, "Didn't they trick their leader to death?"
"So what you saw was that there were only about a hundred camel cavalry who returned." Kalya's tone was extremely calm, "In that fire, at least four hundred people escaped!"
"What if they are just people who come back to save people..." Lux gritted her teeth and raised the telescope again, "Seeing the fire extinguished, and then coming back to save people-"
The next moment, the actions of these camel cavalry eliminated the last trace of luck in Lux's heart. After finding a shallow water area enough for swimming, they quickly came to the island, then jumped off the camels one after another and drew out their scimitars.
Looking at the sunlight reflected by the scimitar, Lux fell silent.
After all... you don't need to use a knife to save someone.
