"Um, has anyone here seen a man in a white robe who looks a bit older?"
After walking aimlessly in the desert for a morning, Ravens finally found a settlement of sand people in the sea of sand. With a little luck and laziness, he came here to visit.
The sand people are a race that specializes in living in the desert. As far as Ravens knows, their skin is covered with various gravels in pieces, and they are not glued on by themselves, but are completely natural.
grown out.
In addition, except for having long stones on their bodies and being generally stronger, their men are just like ordinary humans. What makes them full of alien color is their completely different female sand people...
Female sand people usually have two extreme looks. The most common one is that they are at least two and a half meters tall when they reach adulthood. They are extremely powerful and can almost compete with the brute force of a sand beast head-on.
The other type is quite delicate, so delicate that the skin will be burned after being exposed to the sun for a while, but the appearance is quite good, and the affinity for magic is very strong. They usually serve as magic users in the tribe of sand people.
Witch doctor or priest.
"Who are you talking about? The old man in white robe?"
The person who stopped Ravens at the entrance of the settlement was a female sand citizen who was at least two and a half meters tall and strong. She was wearing a thick windproof sand suit, and her exposed skin was stuffed into a beautiful wheat color.
, some joints are regularly covered with solid large stones, like a pair of natural armor.
"Yes, yes, have you seen it?"
Facing such a 'strong woman', Ravens always felt that she had been very useless these days. She was obviously not short in height, but why did she have to hold her head high when talking to others...
"No, I haven't seen it before." The female sand citizen shook her head and said with a condescending and condescending attitude: "I don't know about other settlements. Anyway, we won't have any exchanges with foreigners here."
With that said, the giantess took another step forward, and Ravens took another step forward, saying: "Same for you! If you have something to say, as long as you are not from Fit City, you can still
Go ask those cowards hiding in the ruins, they will definitely be willing to talk to you."
After saying that, the giantess pushed Ravens, and the powerful force directly pushed Ravens away three or four meters away. Fortunately, he maintained his balance in fear and barely managed to avoid falling on the spot.
"The location of the ruins is in this direction. As long as you walk straight in this direction and don't get lost, you can probably arrive at noon before the sun is at its strongest."
"I know, I know..." Ravens was stunned and nodded blankly.
Although this female sand citizen's behavior was not very good, her attitude was unexpectedly considerate and she directly pointed out the location of the ruins to Ravens.
For this reason, Ravens had nothing to say, so he went straight on the road...
…
"It looks so scary over there..." Lansha leaned next to Art and looked cautiously at the other side of the road.
At noon, after lunch, Art and his group gathered together again, but this time Art brought Tier with him who was idle at home, and then went to the main road near the West District in the North District.
Go find the orphanage where the commission was issued.
As for Tiyi, after making lunch, she went to Alice's place to learn cooking skills. If she knew that there would be such activities after dinner, she might feel more regretful.
"Yeah, that's the West Side over there." Looking at the West Side that seemed to be forever trapped in darkness, Art swallowed his saliva, but who would have thought that such a dark, terrifying, ruin-like slum was just another slum.
What about the entrance to an underground world that is darker, more full of death and hunger?
And Tiyi is from there...
Although it appears to be bright and beautiful now, it was originally a dilapidated and old thing that would sleep in a dark place forever if it was unlucky.
"Just, just try not to get close to there... ugh..." Mamo, who was timid, also hid beside Tier in fear, not daring to look over there at all.
"Listen to what you said, Art, have you ever been to the West End?" Lanza asked curiously, her body getting closer and closer to Art.
"Don't get so close..." Art pushed Lanza away with a little embarrassment, gave her a roll of his eyes, and then said: "I've been there before, but it's nothing interesting, and it looks scary.
You must not go in."
"But speaking of the West District, I have some impressions..." Till, who once worked as a guard, comforted Mamo beside him and recalled: "At that time, a fugitive escaped to the West District, and the Security Bureau was short of manpower.
The team I was in was temporarily transferred to them to go to the Western District to round up."
"What happened next?" Art asked with some surprise. This was the first time he heard Till's memories. He thought that Till had completely forgotten all the memories before he became conscious after becoming his puppet.
"Later, after half a month of searching, there was no result, so we just let it go." Tiyi shrugged and replied.
It seems that he must have escaped to the underground world... Art remembered what Corando once told him about some of the reasons why the West District is difficult to manage - chaos, darkness, and all residents have varying degrees of concern for the guards.
hostility, and an underground world that is even more difficult to manage and monitor...
"Ah, here we are, it should be right here."
On the edge of this long main road, a large three-story building stands alone on the opposite bank of the West District. It is made of thick green bricks, which are covered with moss.
It is not something you can see often in places like Fit City, which is rich in yellow rocks, and the style of the building is also quite different, quite like a church.
And on this slightly old, but surprisingly clean door, there is a tattered sign with the word orphanage written on it.
"Tiel, go knock on the door and have a look." After hesitating for a while, Art asked Till to explore the way.
"Why do you want me..." Till sighed, but did not disobey Art's order and walked to the door and knocked.
The old door seemed to be soaked with the moisture of the West District, and the sound it made was very loud, and I didn't know if the person behind the door could hear it.
After a while, a slightly distorted response finally came from behind the door. It was obviously a puppet.
