Chapter 301 [0298] Negotiation

Soon, the camel team arrived at the edge of the lake in the oasis.

At the guide's reminder, the soldiers with camels spread out along the lake shore, each holding the bridle of their camels tightly to prevent them from stealing the oil silk seeds.

Then, when Lux slowly walked around from the side and approached the front of the team, she was surprised to see that someone in the team took out a boat.

Looking at its appearance, it can be said that it is exactly the same as the one that the oasis survivor child took before!

"Are they going to cross the lake?" Lux's eyes widened in surprise when she saw this scene. "But this boat is too small, isn't it?"

"It shouldn't be that everyone is crossing the lake." Kalya looked at the man dressed as a guide and put the boat in the water, and said, "I think this is a bit like sending an envoy."

"Negotiation? First courtesy, then force?"

"I don't know about that. It's been too long. Although I still know most of the plants and animals in Shurima, I'm afraid the customs and habits have changed with the times, right?"

"Look, the leader seems to have entered the lake with the guide, one person and one boat!"

……………………

Being in a literal leaf boat, Kaf was somewhat uncomfortable.

Even though he grew up in Beljuin and could swim since he was a child, he was still somewhat unsure about riding this boat made purely of leaves and passing through dense oil silk.

It can only be said that it makes sense that the desert survivors usually use children to travel by boat. Although the boat made of oil silk leaves can carry adults, this capacity is more or less a bit reluctant.

"Do you think these stubborn elders will agree?" As if to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, the always serious Kaf took the initiative to talk to his guide again, "Will they be willing to leave here and go to the outside world to see?"

"Maybe the elders are unwilling to leave, but there will always be someone willing to leave." The guide thought about it and could only answer this way, "Compared to the elders, I think Sefiqa is more worth fighting for."

"Sefiqa? Is that the... strong man you mentioned?"

"Yes, Bonu." The guide nodded, "Even though I have left the Oil Silk Oasis and lived outside for almost five years, I have never seen a spellcaster as powerful as Sefiqa."

"Stronger than the Noxian mages?" Hearing the guide say this, Kaf narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have seen those mages from the north. They are always wearing robes and mysterious-their spells scared the port governor of Beljuin, and scared that coward to abandon the glory of Shurima and defect to the Noxians!"

"I haven't seen Noxus. The wizard of Texas. "The guide shook his head upon hearing this. "However, I have seen many wizards working for the mercenary group, and none of them can compare with Sefiqa... In the past, Bonu of Oil Silk Oasis could only listen to the sound of the earth, but Sefiqa could mobilize part of the power of the earth. I am not familiar with him, but I have personally seen the earthquake caused by the grief of the previous Bonu when he died. "

"Unbelievable." Kaf glanced at the guide in the boat beside him, somewhat unbelievable, "If it weren't for me knowing you, I'm afraid I would think you are a guy who likes to brag - grief triggers earthquakes, I have only seen such descriptions in myths. "

"Myths?"

"Yes, "The Weaver Mother's Bedtime Story", a bedtime reading that was once very popular in Beljuin. "

"...Going ashore. "

The topic was dragged to this point, and the guide was somewhat at a loss. At this time, the two ships finally approached the shore. He took the lead in coming to the shore, and then grabbed the rope of Kaf's ship.

"I feel a little dizzy." Kaf scratched his head, then dragged his boat out of the water and carried it on his back. "To be honest, I would rather carry this boat than take a boat."

"Hahaha." Kaf's words made the guide laugh out loud, "Believe me, most people will think so after taking the oil silk boat!"

While talking and laughing, the two finally arrived on the island, and here, the elders who had received the notice from Sefiqa had been waiting for a long time.

In the Oil Silk Oasis, the elder of the desert survivors was a relatively fair guy. He wore a silk robe and held a cane in his hand. When he saw Kaf and the guide, he raised his eyebrows on the spot.

"Kuqiu, you bastard!" The elder with white hair and beard spoke in the unpleasant Shurima language, "You brought an outsider to the Oil Silk Oasis again, and brought him to our island!"

"Mr. Kafu came with sincerity." Guide Kuqiu faced the old man and could only spread his hands helplessly with a bitter smile on his face, "Elder, the times have changed now, we can't hide in the desert forever-"

"Has the war outside stopped?" The elder sneered and interrupted Kuqiu without hesitation, "No matter how sincere this guy is, isn't he trying to drag us into the vortex of war? Didn't our ancestors suffer enough from the war?"

"But, wouldn't it be the same hardship to stay in the Yousi Oasis?" Kuqiu said helplessly, "In Kenese, I can eat different foods, and I don't have to eat mushrooms every day; I have someone who loves me. My wife and three lovely children don’t need to worry about them dying because they don’t have enough to eat; in Kenese, I saw a wider world, and all of this is impossible in the Yousi Oasis..."

"After leaving the oasis, can everyone be like you?" The elder obviously would not be easily persuaded. "What, the Shurima Empire was rebuilt? The emperor is back?"

"But leaving this oasis, we can use our own hands to create a better life, instead of living in a small underground space and relying on growing mushrooms and insects to provide food and clothing that will remain unchanged for thousands of years..."

"Collecting dead leaves and growing mushrooms, and spinning silk in the silkworm room, don't you rely on your own hands?" The elder interrupted Cuqiu again, "Stop trying to seduce me with sweet words. I am already seventy-three years old this year. , I have eaten more salt than you have ever seen sand. I dare say that the person behind you asked you to bring him here not for us to live the kind of life you said! "

Facing this elder, Cuqiu showed a helpless expression.

"He just wants the young men in the oasis to join the army, go to war, and satisfy their ambitions!"

"But even if I go to war, it's not for personal ambition!" Seeing the aggressiveness of this old guy, Kraft finally couldn't help it, "If we want to rebuild Shurima's glory, can it be achieved without fighting? "

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Mushrooms in Oil Silk Oasis:

The decayed stems and leaves of oilseeds will be collected by the desert survivors living in the oasis, and then sent to the fermentation chamber in the underground culvert for fermentation, and then used as a culture medium to raise mushrooms - this is their main source of food.
