Chapter 929: Vifit and the Shadow
This is an endless desert. Black winds are blowing, and yellow sand is everywhere.
In the ups and downs of the lines, a caravan with camel bells ringing is moving forward against the wind and sand.
All the people in the caravan are wrapped in headscarves. Because of the dust, they can hardly see the road ahead, but they are all experienced desert merchants. Under the guidance of the camel bells, they are not worried about getting lost, but they are moving slower.
At this time, the wind and sand suddenly became smaller. The leader's face was more cautious than before. He shouted to the people behind him: "Everyone cheer up. This section of the road is the most dangerous road we will experience in the Wugui Desert. Be sure to follow closely and don't get separated!"
Everyone's expression became tense. They all knew that this was the famous death quicksand area in the Wugui Desert. The reason why this desert is called Wugui is also because of this piece of quicksand full of undercurrents.
Once you fall into the quicksand, there is no need to think about returning.
Everyone followed the leader tremblingly, fearing that if they took a wrong step, they would fall into the quicksand.
But at this moment, a tall man wrapped in a black cloak walked out of the caravan alone, and walked slowly towards the most dangerous quicksand center without looking back.
"Hey, don't leave the caravan within ten meters, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" The leader shouted anxiously. The man was a traveler they met on the way. Worried that he would be in danger walking alone in the desert, they decided to give him a ride.
"Thank you for your hospitality along the way. My journey has ended. Now, I need to find an old friend for a drink." The man in the cloak had a low voice, but the strange thing was that in the heart of the desert where the wind and sand had not yet disappeared, it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Old friend? In the death quicksand, except for the corpses trapped in the ground, where are there any living people?" Everyone was surprised.
Some people wanted to dissuade them, but the leader seemed to remember something and stopped them from shouting.
"When I was a child, my father told me. According to legend, there is a paradise for extraordinary people in the heart of the No Return Desert. He was trapped in quicksand here and was saved by a woman flying in the air..." He had always thought that this was just a lie made up by his father. Could it be true?
No matter what the caravan thought, the cloaked man slowly entered the wind and sand and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
The cloaked man walked in the quicksand area, but it was like walking on flat ground.
Even though there was an obvious circle of quicksand around him, he didn't even mean to take a detour. He stepped directly into the quicksand without slowing down at all.
Where he walked, there was no footprint left. His weight was as light as a feather, and he left no trace in the desert.
The cloaked man walked for half an hour and finally arrived at the center of the death quicksand area.
Speaking of which, there was a sandstorm outside, but there was no wind and sand here, it was calm and dead.
It was still a vast desert. The only difference was that there was a pillar like a stone pier. The top of the column is carved with an eagle crown, and the body is a tortuous primitive totem.
When the cloaked man approached the stone pier, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The stone pier began to split at the speed of the naked eye, and soon, the cloaked man was surrounded by more than two hundred stone piers.
The two stone piers near him suddenly opened their eyes: "Taomiheba puzzle, Sangusno conjecture, corridor maze, choose one of the three. Those who succeed in passing the level can enter the treasure house and start your different life."
The cloaked man was silent for a while, and suddenly lifted his cloak to reveal his face.
Although he is not handsome, he is full of tough manliness. He has a neatly trimmed black and gray beard with a slightly upturned tail. On his exposed neck, there is a tattoo of the Sand of Time.
This tattoo means: Ash Time.
And this cloaked man is the leader of the Ash Time Caravan, "Whale Hunter" Bills.
"Zibo Totem, I'm here to find that old guy Weifit. I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to have a drink with him." Bills said.
As Biers revealed his true face, the eyes on the stone pier slowly became bright: "It turns out to be Biers, you came just in time, I have an endless loop of digital puzzles here that I have not been able to solve, come and help me."
Biers sighed, Zibo Totem is the gatekeeper spirit of Xidimosha, this stone spirit is good in everything, the only thing that makes people headache is that it loves mathematics.
All people who come in and out will be pestered by him to solve problems. If you have excellent math skills, it will even give you benefits.
It is said that a thousand years ago there was a mortal who wanted to enter the wizard world without talent. Later, because he solved a mathematical puzzle that troubled Zibo Totem for hundreds of years, Zibo Totem directly gave him a bottle of potion that increased the upper limit of mental power, making him a superhuman, which shows his love for mathematics.
Seeing that Zibo Totem had no intention of opening the door, Biers could only say: "Okay, you put the problem out."
Biers's math skills are not necessarily good, but he is a formal wizard after all, and he has strong data processing capabilities. Although he did not help Zibo Totem solve the answer, he helped it sort out the previous omissions.
"It seems that you have done your best. Leave the rest to me." Zibo Totem said, and all the stone pillars disappeared, leaving only one stone pillar.
And in the center of this stone pillar, a staircase appeared out of thin air.
"I have informed Wifet, and he said he would arrange a demon servant to pick you up." Zibo Totem said this and ignored him.
Biers shook his head and walked into the stairs.
After a while, Biers, guided by a fat gerbil, came to Wifet's reception room in the dark desert palace.
What surprised Biers was that there was not only Wifit in the room, but also a shadowy figure sitting opposite Wifit.
"Bills, haven't we seen each other for almost thirty years? Why did you suddenly think of me?" Wifet is a stooped little old man with a white beard. His eyes are almost covered by his loose skin. He is standing there. He stood up and faced Biers with a smile on his face: "You are trying to recommend me some slaves to buy, right? I can tell you, I'm not interested in ordinary slaves."
"There haven't been any good ones recently. It's good to get an anonymous Myrtle some time ago, but it has already been shipped." Biers hugged Wifet, then sat on the other side of the sofa and took a look. The phantom person said: "I came here this time simply because I want to have a drink with you."
"Meter has been shipped? Alas, this thing is of great use in my desert underground palace. Why don't you tell me first so that I can compete fairly with that person." A flash appeared on Wifet's face. Regret.
"Even if the competition is fair, you may not be able to compete with him." After a pause, Biers shrugged: "Besides, rather than selling to you, I would rather sell to him."
"Who is he? Is he someone who may be helpful to your interests?" Wifet was not annoyed and still said with a smile.
"I am a very principled person, and I will never disclose the seller's information."
Wifet also knew Biers' principles. The reason why he was willing to deal with this kind of slave trader and became an old friend was precisely because Biers abided by the rules.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Wei Feit also sat down: "But you said you came to me for a drink. I don't believe you. Just tell me your purpose."
Biers glanced at the phantom again, and seeing that he didn't make any evasive action, he simply didn't say anything.
Naturally, he came to Wifet because of Angel's matter. Although it was just an insignificant matter, as a businessman who abided by the rules, he did not want others to hear it.
Wifet seemed to understand what Biers meant. He smiled, but still did not introduce the identity of the shadow: "It's okay, I don't believe you came to me to talk about something important. If you tell me, If it is shocking news, then I will immediately arrange for you to wait for me in the secret room. If not, then there is no harm in telling it here. "
The news that Biers wanted to ask was naturally not something important. After thinking about it, he asked anyway.
However, for the sake of his own principles, Biers did not speak directly, but said to Wifet through the sound transmission technique: "I just want to ask you, are you willing to sell your magic pattern leather scroll that increases the luck attribute?"
After hearing this, Wei Feit almost immediately shook his head: "No, no, this is my treasure."
"This is what one of my customers needs. You might as well make a price, even if you ask for a ridiculous price, as long as I can reply to that customer."
Wifet: "Are you asking for a price? Okay, just give me constant crumbs and I'll change them."
Biers: "...You are really asking for a lot of money." The value of a drop of constant crumbs is countless times more than the lucky magic-patterned leather scroll.
"I still need to continue to collect a drop of constant debris. To be honest, I don't want to change it."
Biers thought for a while: "That's okay, it'll be nice if you can reply."
After asking about the business, Biers did not leave. He was not lying when he said he wanted to have a drink with Wifet. They hadn't seen each other for decades, but he still wanted to get together and chat.
Moreover, Wei Feit has lived for more than 800 years and is very sophisticated in both experience and vision. It is easy to be inspired by communicating with Wei Feit. Maybe, an inspiration can help him understand the way forward.
Wifet did not refuse Biers. Instead, he took out his best wine and drank with Biers.
The two chatted a lot, covering everything from the current situation of the Southern Territory to their respective paths in the future and the latest research topics. Biers was also very happy. The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that the shadow did not disappear from the beginning to the end, and it did not speak.
Biers wanted to ask the identity of the shadow many times, but every time he tactfully tried to bring the topic to the shadow, Wifet avoided answering or changed the topic to other topics. Later, Biers didn't bother to ask, so he just regarded it as a shadow.
"...The prospect of Fan Continent is worrying. There is no turning back from what happened in the Abyss, and the shadow of the devil has shrouded the world. I don't know whether Lord Mengqi is right or wrong in doing this." Wifet shook his head: "Not only that, The situation in neighboring Yongye also worries me. I always feel that the situation in Yongye is more terrifying than the Demon God's Shadow. I'm worried that with the spread of Yongye, it won't be long before we are affected..."
Siddimosa is located in the Fenghuo Kingdom, and to the northeast of the Fenghuo Kingdom is the Eternal Night Kingdom.
"Speaking of which, I have always wanted to know what is going on in the Kingdom of Evernight?" Biers asked. Although he knew that the Sleepless City of the Kingdom of Evernight had fallen and the Front of the Dark Night was preparing to evacuate, the specific details of the Kingdom of Evernight were unknown. He actually didn't understand the reason why most of the country fell.
Wifet shook his head: "I don't know either, but there should be someone who understands."
"who?"
"Master of Illusions, 'Sanders'. He is the only official wizard who has gone deep into the Sleepless City and came out alive. Maybe he knows something about the situation."
"Your Excellency Huan Mo has entered the Sleepless City and has he come out again?"
"Yes, not only that. I also heard that he brought out several apprentices from the Savage Cave, including his students." What Vifit didn't know was that it wasn't Sanders who brought out his disciples. The truth was actually the opposite of what he thought.
"Student?"
"Yes, it's the person who is currently stirring up the Southern Region Alchemy World. I remember his name seems to be...Angel."
