June 19th.
While the iris is still in a state of great sustainability, Evas and his group have already passed through the Narcissus collar.
There is no clear border between the Narcissus and the Ancient Kingdom of Anxu. In other words, the real border is clear enough to be clear at a glance.
The Narcissus Corps - the east side of the former Narcissus Principality, is a deserted dense forest.
There is a strange moisture here, which smells like soil and blood. It is slightly poisonous to mortals. Although it is not fatal, it will make people weak and lose their energy. It is precisely because of this that there are such rich resources here, but it has almost never been cut down or collected.
According to the guide, there are a lot of mushrooms here - he is a resting man and does not know that kind of mushroom.
But Zhu Tang knew him.
"That's black ant bacteria, we call it a corpse gentleman."
The gray-robed wizard with his eyes closed replied: "This is a relatively rare ritual material. This mushroom will secrete a mucus to simulate the smell of rotten corpses when fermentation is performed, and prey on a special black ant, which only eats the rotten corpses of animals. Therefore, this mushroom will only appear in places where there are often corpses and will not spread quietly.
"By the way, although it smells smelly and has a slightly poisonous, it is very delicious in the soup. If it is stewed with grass fruit, it will have a strong meaty flavor. As long as it is stewed, there is no problem. On our side, people catch this mushroom every spring and sell it for money."
The oriental wizard was sitting in Aivas' luxury carriage playing chess with Sherlock.
Because there were too many peers, Yulia was worried that the road would be too noisy, so the empress of the new empire personally transformed the carriage for Aivas for the trip. She used the lost knowledge she gained from the legacy of the Heraser Empire to create several space folding carriages.
Although the carriage looks a little bigger from the outside, it looks about 60 square meters from the inside. It has a small living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. It is probably equivalent to a not-too-large hotel suite. There are four sofas inside, and many people stay in it.
Several other carriages were also renovated by Yulia. The space was expanded to about halfway, and at least it could accommodate all minions to spend the night in the confined space.
This is a savior for the group who are about to go to the desert.
Although Sherlock can provide water for everyone and there is water and food reserved in the carriage just in case, it is not easy to spend the night in the carriage - even if the big guys can barely sleep inside, their followers can't live with the food.
With Yulia's expansion and renovated carriage, the comfort of travel has been increased by four or five levels at once. It has changed from the chore of eating wind and chewing sand to real tourism.
It is said that this is a technology obtained after being disenchanted by the Alchemy Association during the Heraser Empire. The space folding technology of the Mage Tower is a similar method, but alchemy allows them to be used by people who do not master the path of wisdom and rune skills.
At this moment, Lily lived in Aivas' shadow for a long time and felt relieved. Isabel and Haina were chatting together, and there was even the bored Lijiya with her. Sherlock was playing Go with Zhu Tang with her eyes closed, while Aivas sat next to her and watched with her guide.
The guide is a little girl with brown and black skin.
Her name is Anar, with a tall forehead, black curly hair tied behind her with ponytails, and bright black pearl-like eyes. She wore a loose robe made of white sackcloth, which was completely different from the delicate clothes of others.
She is a professional guide, mainly responsible for bringing people from the border of Narcissus to the border of rest, or in turn bringing people from the border of Rest to the Principality of Narcissus.
Of course, this is definitely illegal...it is like the kind of profession that illegally crosses the border and takes people abroad. Although in fact, there is no legal way to enter and exit the rest.
Today, the ancient kingdom of Anxu has been completely divided. Although they nominally respect the mysterious monarch who doesn't even know his name, in fact, the good lords of various desert city-states have been one new king after another.
Because of this, it is basically impossible for other countries to establish normal external transportation channels in Anxigua. Even if it is established, it is just a passage established with the good masters of this city. The good masters of other cities do not recognize this diplomatic relationship.
And because the good masters usually do not want their conquerors or slaves to escape, contact with foreigners becomes a crime in itself. In this case, the country of Aries is in chaos for most countries.
Only a few people who escaped from it can bring back the latest - perhaps outdated - part of the intelligence.
In this case, the local resistance organization that can steadily take people out from the inside must be the local resistance organization. It was through her that Zhu Tang and Mu were able to escape from the disorientation desert.
It was precisely because of their introduction that Aivas found her as a guide.
"When you pass through this dense forest, you will enter the desert."
Anar said in Xingying language with a strong breathing tone: "At that time, we will not be able to go any further. We have to walk for a day and a half before we can get to our first city, Yanjiao City. This is a very small city. If it is not considered a slave, there are only about 800 residents. It may be less crowded than Xingying's community."
"Are there good masters in such a small city?
Avas asked.
Upon hearing this, Anar smiled: "There must be some, Master. Where can I find a city where there is a good Lord in Rest?"
"Well, how did you escape with the good Lord? Wouldn't he catch you?"
Avas asked.
"Because the snake man will help us," Anar replied, "Because the Snake City is close to Xingying, there are many reinforced rock slabs imported from Xingying. They are built with them to build underground rock cellular... As long as you use it to separate the blood-sucking sand, you will not lose moisture so easily.
"Although we are resting, it is relatively not that water-deficient. The Maharaja is also more gentle than other places... or lazier. We run to the temple outside the city through the underground passage, and then lead the camel out of the temple."
The Maharaja is the respectful title of the resting man to his good master. The meaning is roughly similar to "Your Majesty".
"I don't think this is the case."
Zhu Tang said slowly, "I actually think... that good Lord is very likely to know your existence."
Upon hearing this, Anar was stunned for a moment.
"This is of course."
While playing chess, Sherlock said leisurely: "Since it was the tunnel he built, how could he not know that this tunnel would lead to the temple outside the city? Without him, where did so many alchemy stone slabs from Xingying come from?"
"But……"
Anar subconsciously wanted to defend himself.
But Sherlock said ruthlessly: "It's just that he acquiesced to your existence. The purpose is very simple... As a weak good Lord, he can only obtain resources that are not within the rest through trade with foreign countries, and thus exchange resources with the strong good Lord within.
"In this case, he has only two paths. He either plunders from the periphery of Xingying or forms a trade channel with Xingying. But no matter which one he chooses, as long as he does this from the outside, he will be found fault by other good masters, and then be attacked by fire, and divides up territory and resources.
"So he can only keep his isolation on the surface and make connections from the dark. You must know some merchants who often travel back and forth through you. They are the resources of the Lord of the Good Lord of Yanjiao City.
"If you plan to rebel or do not... in order to keep it a secret, he will execute you. The excuse is to discover your illegal acts... This handle that can be executed at any time is in your hands, and you are the safest and most useful slaves to use."
Anar obviously wanted to refute.
But after thinking about it, she seemed to think of some people. So her lips turned slightly white - she realized that she might be under the surveillance of the Good Lord at all times.
——When she realized that her behavior of being able to sentence more than twenty deaths was exposed to the eyes of the good master, it was impossible not to be afraid of it.
"Don't scare people's children." Aivas reached out and knocked Sherlock's head.
He turned around and asked Anar, "You said...the temple? Where is the temple outside the city?"
"Ah... outsiders are not allowed to enter there."
Anar said timidly: “We can only go in when we come out.
