The scorching sun scorched the ground, the heat of the sand came from the soles of his shoes, and his sunburned forehead ached hotly. In order to avoid yesterday's quicksand www.biquge.info Hugo decided to go east today. The desert of Orlando Province is long and narrow from east to west, but if I were near the eastern end, I should soon reach the mountains, where there will be water and trees and leaves to eat. If I'm near the west end and I'm going east, it's across the desert...... No matter what, you can only try your luck.

He had been trekking all morning, his lips chapped and his feet blistering, and he finally collapsed from exhaustion beside a rock. The huge rock slanted to the ground, and he ducked into the shadows.

Suddenly hearing a hissing sound, he reflexively stood up, ready to cast a spell at any moment.

A lizard sits on a rock, flicks its tail, and glares at Hugo, hissing menacingly. Hugo picked up a stone, threw it out, and shouted, "How dare you laugh at me?"

The lizard jumped out of the way and crawled into the crevice of the rock.

Hugo regretted it again, he had known to give it a spell to "burn", and he hadn't tasted the taste of roasted lizard meat. He leaned on the red rock, looked into the crevice, and his eyes lit up: there was a nest of white eggs in the crevice. He grabbed an egg, shook it, and cracked the leathery shell, the yolk and liquid ran down the inside, and he sucked greedily, eating it into his stomach along with the grit in his palm. He had eaten all the eggs, and after looking around the rocks and being sure that it was not a snake's den, he lay down in the shadows wearily.

He dreamed of the Academy of Magic. There was a river in the mountain behind the academy, and the surface of the river was splashing with white water, and Walter sat on the stones in the river with a serious face, motionless, talking to the water element.

Cassius yelled in surprise and flicked the rod, and a fish was pulled up, its tail grazing the tip of Walter's nose.

"Hey, Cassiu, don't bother me with my practice!" Vult frowned and put his hand in the river, "I just spoke to the water elemental. ”

Cassius shrugged, winked at Hugo, and raised his chin: "Hey, Hugo, use a little magic of yours, let's grill fish and eat it, and starve Walter to death." ”

Hugo snapped his fingers, and the branches in the pit burned. Cahew roasted the fish he caught, and the smell of fish was overflowing for a while.

Cathew walked up to Walter lightly and placed the grilled fish in front of Walter's nose.

Walter was closing his eyes, he sniffled, opened his eyes, and yelled, "Damn! Can you just be quiet? How old are you? 19 years old!"

"Will you eat?" said Cassiu, pretending not to hear Walter's complaints.

"Don't eat!" Vought slammed his hands into the water, making a splash.

"Hugo, let's eat. Look at his bitter gourd face. The water element is like a woman who is as tender as water, and such a good woman would like a bitter gourd face?" Cassius brought out the theory that the elements are equal to women, and put the fish in front of Hugo.

Hugo licked his lips and was about to reach for the fish when he saw that near the stone where Walter was sitting, the river had changed direction, the water was spinning, and the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger.

"I've succeeded! I've mastered the water elemental!" Whorter cried out in surprise, and he put his hands out of the river, and the water in the whirlpool lost control and pounced on Hugo, dousing him from head to toe.

Water, lots of water, sweet water.

Hugo cried out, hunger and thirst driving away sleep. The grilled fish and the river are gone, and there is a desolate desert in front of me.

The heat wave began to subside, and another evening came.

He was moving very slowly, the night was approaching, and the cold was about to envelop him. But he had to go, he had to get out of the desert as soon as possible to warn the Council of Magic that Hausen had escaped from prison.

He snapped his fingers, and a small flame danced in his fingertips, serving as a light and providing him with a little warmth. By the faint light of the fire, he saw all kinds of animals in the desert at night. The big spider with hairy legs crawled quickly on the rocks. When a mouse saw him, he quickly ducked back into the ground, not even having a chance to catch it. He found another lizard nest, and the lizard jumped on him, and he waved away, and the lizard crawled to the bottom of the sand, so he feasted on three lizard eggs.

The slimy yolk stuck to his teeth, his fingers, his sleeves, he was dirty and smelly, and after walking for a long time, he fell asleep on the desert.

This time, he dreamed of the Orr Snow Mountain Fortress.

Icicles hung under the eaves of the fortress's conning tower. Cassius makes a bet with everyone to see who eats the most icicles. The first to try was Wilson, the fat man had always been greedy, he stuffed icicles into his mouth, his cheeks became stiff, he made a sound, everyone laughed, and the fat man's tongue was stuck with icicles.

Gu Linhao broke off three icicles, like eating sugar cane, chewing vigorously. When it was Kasiu's turn, Cassiu cheated and said that Gu Linhao was an ice magician and should not participate in the gambling game, so he invited Hugo to participate. Hugo grabbed the cold icicles, the crystal clear icicles were like crystals in the sun, stuffed into his mouth and began to melt, the cold and refreshing water, freezing his tooth decay and pain, he knew that he was in Cassiu's place, but he forced himself to enjoy it, delicious and wonderful ice water......

He woke up again. The sun rises in the early morning. He found the dagger placed on the rock, the surface of which was covered with dewdrops. Impatiently, he licked the dagger. The dagger sliced through his fingers, and the red blood made him swallow.

Blood is liquid, drink it. A stab in the arm is enough to keep you filled.

He shook his head, banished the illusion, and moved on.

After some time, he fell to the ground weakly. The arcane crystal and mysterious book in his arms fell out. Schultz said, "His arcane crystal is at my disposal." What about burying the Arcane Crystal in the desert? What about burying this book that can't be opened in the desert? Including the Wolf Warrior Squad, what if I don't be the captain?

He cried, though not many tears or a loud voice in his throat. He trembled, clutching his head and crying. Cassius is an official in the military department, and he should be enjoying the wine and indulging in the imperial celebration at this moment, he is the one who is capable. Gu Lin Hao is the leader of the unicorn team, stationed in the arcane crystal mine, which is simply overkill. Walter hates me to death, why should I be the captain of the Wolf Warrior Squad? As for Wilson, the fat man is long dead, the first magician to be killed by the polar people, and the fat man still has his name in the annals of history.

He stared at the dagger, the white rays of sunlight reflecting off his eyes. How simple is it to give yourself a knife in the neck? Why suffer? Among the first batch of graduates, it will be promoted or die, and what if there is one less Hugo? The responsibility is on the shoulders, and it is time to unload.

Two vultures hovered in the sky. Come on, give yourself a knife and let the vultures have a meal of meat. Dust to dust, dust to dust. No more blindness, no more putting up with the willfulness of Charlotte and Kilrod, no more scorching by the sun.

He cried even harder. He found that he didn't even have the determination to make a decision on his own. I'm a coward. During the "Nightmare of Beijun Town", I killed the magician traitor, but I didn't even have the courage to raise my hand when I used a knife against myself. Traitor, Howson was a traitor, he told me to learn fire magic, I respected him, and he killed Horan. He betrayed his brother and betrayed everyone who trusted him.

No, I have to live. I'm going to grab Hausen myself and ask what happened. The little desert can't stump me. I'm not going to give up.

He got up again and continued east. He lived two or three days by eating rats, insects, and drinking dew.

The sun was still scorching, and it hadn't rained for a few days. Nothing was found today, not even lizard eggs were found. He fell on the rock, no matter how hot it was. He turned his back to the sky and raised his sword in front of his eyes, and even his hands trembled. Soon I didn't even have the strength to cut myself off. What else are you talking about catching Hausen? Or I'm going to activate the sand magic, bury myself in the sand, and suffocate to death? Idiot, what are you trying to do with the quicksand? Or set yourself on fire and burn yourself? It's all death anyway, so why choose the most painful one? It's better to die in the sun.

Well, get some sleep and then not wake up, it won't be too painful. He lowered his sword, closed his eyes, and let the sun scorch. The call of vultures echoed in the sky. It's time to follow my dead comrades, and I won't be alone. His heart was at peace.

Something rubbed against his face, and his hands. With a warm snort, he laboriously opened his eyes and saw a horse. He reached out and touched the horse's nose. This is not an illusion.

"He's alive. He heard a man's voice.

"It's not far from death. Another man's voice was shrill and piercing, "Look what treasures he has." ”

"Water, I want water. He whispered.

He felt a hand reach into his pocket, rummaging around.

"Two crystal balls, good as an ornament. Why can't you open it?" The sharp-eared man sighed, "A short sword, a necklace with a wolf's head, it seems that these are worth a lot." ”

"Don't, don't take my stuff. He shook his head and shook his hands slightly, trying to cast a spell on the robber to "burn", but the fire elemental ignored him. Even the mana has dried up.

"Crystals, wolf heads, daggers. He doesn't look like a normal person. Another man shoved the kettle into Hugo's mouth, "I remember, the magician of the Rhodes Empire carries crystals." ”

He drank the water greedily and did not choke.

The sharp-tongued man laughed: "Is that the country where the emperor died?"

His Majesty the Emperor is dead, and a mystery rises in Hugo's heart. No way, when I left Thundercastle, the Emperor was still clamoring for an imperial celebration. Wait, he said "that country", so where am I?

He opened his eyes and saw two gnomes. One of them had curly brown hair and a scar on his face, and the other hair was on top and was older.

He asked, "Where am I?"

"Welcome to Slave Bay, the great free-trade city-state of Gesswana. The dwarf took back the kettle, pulled the horse, and replied.

Schultz teleported me to a free trade city-state! It was more than a month to ride from the southernmost province of the Empire, Menot! Hugo looked at Schultz's arcane crystal in shock.
