Imrik ran on Beanbag while turning his head to look at the speed of the sandstorm. In the face of such a natural disaster, his power was so weak that even with the Endless Book, there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, they found it far away from the sandstorm, which gave them enough time to escape.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I didn’t see any sign of an oasis except for yellow sand. The sandstorm was already visible to the naked eye. Yellow sand was flying all over the sky. The strong wind even blew away the bedding on the carriage.
"Ahem, and, ahem, how far!" Gassanre choked on the sand and coughed, yelling at the hunchbacked man.
"We're here! Ahem, look! It's an oasis!" At this time, Domila shouted excitedly from the side.
Sure enough, in the sight blurred by the yellow sand, a looming green appeared in front of him.
As if they had been given a shot of blood, everyone quickly accelerated and moved forward.
Imric raised a ball of water to cover his face. He blessed himself with underwater breathing. Breathing through water filtration was much more comfortable than them.
The oasis was getting closer and closer, and its true face was revealed to everyone. It was a green lake surrounded by many palm trees, and there was a stone fortress beside the lake with a flag with the word "Razor" on it.
Perhaps due to the approach of a large number of people, several muscular men with bare upper bodies and animal skin shorts walked out of the stone castle. They also wore hats with feathers on their heads, and had several horizontal lines drawn with oil paint on their faces.
"Do you have a pass?" the leader, a muscular man, asked forcefully in a rough voice.
Gassanre quickly took out a badge and showed it to them with a flattering smile. After looking at it, the man nodded and said: "Everyone who enters the fortress gets one gold coin, and the tauren counts too!"
Gassangrui glanced back in pain. For a car of more than twenty people, he had to pay more than twenty gold coins.
He gritted his teeth, took out the gold coin and handed it to the other party. The man took a look, turned back with satisfaction and shouted: "Open the door!"
The door of the stone castle slowly opened, and everyone hurriedly hid inside.
There were many young men in the same attire and young women in animal skirts inside the castle, and they all ignored the comings and goings of people.
Imrik shook off the yellow sand stained on his cloak and observed with interest the decorations around the stone castle, including animal skull specimens, oil lamps, animal skin carpets, and stone floors. This building was filled with a primitive beauty.
"These people are the Bedai barbarians." Imrik looked back at the sturdy man who brought them in. The only people who can open up their own territory in this desert, except the blue dragon, are probably the nomads in the desert - the Bedai.
Dai barbarian.
The muscular man looked back at them, laughed and said, "Welcome to the Standing Stone Plain."
Enook is not a static desert landscape. Although outsiders always imagine it as a simple huge desert, in fact it is composed of a series of continuous deserts of different types: transition from dry sand and dust areas
to savanna covered with weathered gravel, then to frozen tundra areas and desolate mountain areas, and finally to the huge glacier area known as the "High Glacier".
The Standing Stone Plain is close to the Ajhat Mountains. In addition to the desolate hills, there are also huge caves where the dangerous Essebeans live.
"These Bedai barbarians can occupy a place here. The people standing behind them, no, may not even be human. I'm afraid it's not simple." Imric lowered his eyes.
Everyone in the caravan found an open space and sat down to rest, waiting for the sandstorm to come. Generally speaking, there are inns in the buildings next to this kind of oasis, but the rooms are extremely expensive. One room costs ten gold coins, and even the best ones cost more than 10 gold coins.
Ten gold coins is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Imrik grabbed a passing barbarian woman and asked, "Do you have a restaurant open here?"
The barbarian woman smiled and said, "We have a tavern here that provides food."
The black-robed mage nodded. Although the salted fish was delicious, he was tired of it after eating it for so many days. It was better to change the taste.
Arriving at the tavern in the stone castle, Imrik picked up the menu and took a look. Good guy, there is nothing less than three gold coins.
"Well, bring me a piece of Shalu meat and a glass of sand fruit wine." Imrik ordered two dishes from the waiter next to him. The meat of Shalu was 7 gold coins and the fruit wine was 3 gold coins. The total cost was ten gold coins.
After a while, the food was brought up. Looking at the unknown barbecue being grilled on the plate, Rick couldn't help but move his index finger and took a bite. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a special smell.
aroma.
While Imrik was concentrating on enjoying the food, suddenly, like an earthquake, the wall outside shook, and some dust even fell from the ceiling.
Obviously, the sandstorm has approached the outside of the stone fortress, and its huge scale has even shaken the stone fortress.
Suddenly, Imric heard a faint noise coming from outside. He picked up the brocade handkerchief and wiped his mouth, stood up and walked out.
When he returned to the hall, he found that the group of Bedai barbarians had turned against the people in the motorcade. Jerome's face turned red in a rare sight and they started to argue with each other.
Seeing Imrik coming over, Jerome's momentum suddenly suffocated, and he said nonchalantly: "Well, Imrik, I'm sorry, it's my fault for taking out the endless water bag. These barbarians saw it and wanted to rape him."
Buy and sell by force.”
Imrik sighed. He didn't know what to think of the IQ of the paladin. This group of Bedai barbarians obviously relies on the water resources of this oasis to extort money for a living. You come up with a magical weapon that can produce unlimited water resources.
Can the other party not be greedy for things?
Jerome quickly continued: "Don't worry, I will never let them take your water bag."
Domila also yelled in a rough voice from the side: "You guys are greedy for money. You have already said you won't sell it. What else do you want to do!"
The strong man at the head sneered and said: "In this oasis, there is nothing that I can't say is not for sale? Then don't blame me for robbing it!"
Seeing the other party's shameless remarks, Domira almost fainted with anger. She pulled out the dagger and said bitterly: "Okay, come on, what I hate most is robbers. If you have the ability, try to grab one and see.
Can I chop your head off?"
Listening to their noise getting more and more fierce, the decibel level was so high that it hurt my ears. Imric stepped forward, stared at the strong man, smiled and said, "The water bag is mine."
Although these people in front of him looked like chickens and dogs, he really didn't want to put in more effort to deal with them, not to mention that he didn't know what the existence behind them was.
