Chapter 144 Above the Desert

The United Arab Emirates of the Western Desert is located on the Western Wilderness Desert in the middle of the Western Continent. It is a united country composed of more than a dozen large and small tribes united together. Although every ten years, a tribe will be elected as the leader. The leaders of all tribes, but after all, there is a gap between tribes and tribes, which is extremely inconvenient to manage.

This has made the situation in the United States of the West Desert quite chaotic. Sand robbers are everywhere and the national power is empty. If it weren't for the West Desert Desert, it is really not a good place, then the United West Desert United Emirates, which exists in name only, has long been taken advantage of by the surrounding countries. And it was destroyed once.

Above the desert, a caravan of camels was slowly advancing, and the camel bells swayed with the wind, breaking the silence of the caravan.

Al, who was dressed in a white robe, sat on a camel at the back, with a small shed above his head to block the sun. He looked at the books in his hand under the shed. As a member of the camel team that walks on legs, Al's treatment is indeed infinitely better.

A week ago, Al got the detailed information of several wizarding organizations from the clown Aesop, and after a little rest for a day, he went on the road. Al paid some gold coins to follow the current caravan out of Holy Sword City, Leaving the Holy Sword Empire, and driving straight into the Western Wilderness Desert.

As a neighboring country of the Holy Sword Empire, the West Desert United Emirates is completely different from the Holy Sword Empire. There is no Church of the Lord of Glory in billions in its country, but it has another kind of belief in ancestors and totems.

Without the existence of the Church of the Lord of Glory, the West Desert United Emirates not only has no resistance to the existence of wizards, but in the West Desert United Emirates, wizards have an extraordinary status.

However, because he was used to concealing his identity as a wizard apprentice in the Holy Sword Empire, even when he came to the United Arab Emirates of West Desert, Al did not immediately reveal his identity as a wizard apprentice.

The camel team stopped slowly, and Al raised his head to look at the members of the camel team who were gradually dispersing to prepare lunch. After closing the books in his hands, he jumped off the slowly kneeling camel.

Stretching, Al was not afraid of the high temperature, and sat directly on the sand. After an unknown amount of time, a member of the camel team came over and handed Al a water bag and two sheets of bread, and then Then he turned and left Al.

Looking at the pancake in his hand, Al didn't pay much attention to it. He took a bite of the rather hard pancake, drank his saliva, and ate it deliciously. He didn't care about the news from those guys and caravan leaders meaty aroma.

With the physical fitness of a blood knight, Al finished the bread and water in his hands in two or three bites, then covered his eyes with the book in his arms, and lay down on the desert to take a nap.

I do not know how long it has been,

Al felt the book blocking his eyes being touched, opened his eyes and sat up.

Suddenly, a child about thirteen or fourteen years old was startled by Al, took two steps back, lost his balance, and sat down on the sand, but because of the high temperature of the sand, he jumped up directly, clutching his butt He hissed.

Looking at the bouncing boy covering his ass in front of him, Al smiled for a long time, shook his head slightly, and said, "Boy, why did you touch my book just now?"

Hearing Al's words, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy helped the white scarf on his head, and then said: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm just... I'm just curious, because I haven't read this book. book, so..."

Seeing the little boy's shyness, Al thought for a while and handed the book in his hand to the little boy.

After receiving the book from Al, the little boy looked at the title of the book on the cover, and read it word by word: "He, Er, Shi, Shi... Sir, is this a knight novel?"

Nodding slightly, Al made a gesture of invitation, and seeing this, the little boy started flipping through the pages again.

Looking at the little boy with his head down reading a book, Al smiled slightly, then turned his head and began to appreciate the rarely seen desert scenery around him.

However, before Al admired it for a long time, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the little boy.

"Sir, sir, a small part of this page has turned black, and the words are gone. I, I must not have caused trouble."

Hearing what the little boy said, Al subconsciously wanted to smile at the little boy and say something to comfort him, but at this moment, Al suddenly realized something, and he reached out and took back the "Epic of Hull" I started to look at the blackened place on it, and sure enough, just as Al expected, this suddenly blackened place really belonged to a part of the hidden black pages of "The Epic of Hull"!

Seeing signs on the black pages, Al immediately began to think about the difference between this time and the previous ones. After thinking for a long time, Al suddenly discovered that when he watched "The Epic of Hull" before, he never let the "Epic of Hull" The pages of the book are completely exposed to the sun, and they are basically studied in the house late at night. Even if the "Epic of Hull" was studied on a camel just now, it was viewed under the shadow of the shed, so it is no wonder that there were no discoveries before. up.

Thinking of this, Al looked up at the ignorant and nervous little boy in front of him, he reached out and touched the boy's head, and then said: "Boy, you have done me a great favor, tell me what you want What reward do you want?"

Hearing that Al not only did not blame himself, but also rewarded himself, the little boy suddenly showed a relaxed smile, and said: "Actually... Actually, my mother was seriously ill, so my father and I came out to give Shang a gift. Helping team, but we don't earn much, so... so if possible, I don't know if you can give me some money sir.

No, it doesn't need a lot, one gold coin... no, five, three silver coins will do, three will do. "

The little boy looked at Al, who looked at him with a half-smile, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Either...or one silver coin is enough, really enough."

Shaking his head slightly, Al reached into his chest, took out a small cloth bag and threw it to the little boy, then whispered: "Be sure to hide it, don't be seen by those people, secretly give it to your father put it up."

Hearing Al's words, the little boy subconsciously took the small cloth bag and opened it. Suddenly, the little boy gasped and looked at Al in surprise. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but But he didn't say a word.

Ten gold coins, a full ten gold coins, for a family like theirs, this money is definitely a huge sum of money. Not only can it heal the little boy's mother, but it can also be used to do some small business. It is used properly If so, at least you don’t have to worry about not being able to eat in the future!

Seeing the little boy's appearance, Al nodded to him and said, "Take it, remember to keep it secret."

After confirming that the money was indeed for himself, the little boy showed a bright smile, and then ran to a middle-aged man sitting beside the members of the camel caravan, whispering something.

What happened next had nothing to do with Al, he looked away and focused on the "Epic of Hull" in his hand.

Under the sun, Al searched page by page, and finally found twelve pages with different responses. He tore off the twelve pages and put them together. Suddenly, the twelve pages together No fire spontaneously ignited.

It is normal for combustibles on the desert to spontaneously ignite without fire, so even though they saw Al's flames, there was nothing to cast their eyes on.

Looking at the flames in front of him, Al didn't do anything, but waited for the twelve pages of the book to burn.

Sure enough, after the twelve pages of the book were burned, twelve black fragments of the pages appeared on the sand. Looking at the twelve fragments of the pages, even under the sun, Al felt a surge of pain on his back. There was a cold current, as if in a cold world of ice and snow.

Instead of assembling the black pages immediately, Al tore off a piece of white cloth from the white robe on his body, wrapped the fragments of the black pages, and put them into the interspatial bag in his bosom.

After doing this, Al was about to take out the volume of the wizard's handbook called "The Illusion Secret Book" to read, but at this moment, Al suddenly heard a somewhat familiar cry from not far away.

He frowned and looked in the direction of the crying, and suddenly saw that the boy was holding the small bag he gave him, and there was another hand on the small bag, and the owner of the hand was punching On the boy's back, judging from his appearance, it is obviously impossible to be that boy's father.

Although he didn't know what happened, Al could basically guess it pretty well. His eyes were micrometers, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He took out a finger-sized knife from his waist with his backhand and threw it away.

"what!"

With a scream, the man grabbed the little boy's wrist with an extra knife. He let go of his hand, and the other hand grabbed the knife on his wrist and wanted to pull it out, but because the knife was too small, there was nowhere to use it. Can't pull it out at all.

At this time, what happened to the man gradually attracted the people of the camel team to surround them. Faced with their companions and strangers, these people of the camel team naturally did not have any hesitation in choosing.

Seeing the members of the camel team gradually approaching, Al smiled disdainfully, and then said: "If you want to seek death, then I will not hesitate to help you, but considering that I still need some people to pass through the desert, so I'll give you a chance, and I can pretend that I didn't see it if I retreat now, otherwise, I will have to bear the consequences of what happens to you in a while."
