A scorching wind blew, followed by blazing sunshine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The dry and unsteaming gale seemed to drain all the water from the body, and as far as the eye could see, there were endless sand dunes as vast as the sea.

This is the great desert called the "shallow sea", which is named after the sea.

Located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Aster, and bordering the Northern Olympian Commercial Community, this desert is arguably the largest wasteland in the northwest of the continent.

But unlike a historic wasteland like the Eternal Night Forest, the Great Shallow Sea Desert didn't take long to form.

Seven hundred years ago, it was one of the largest commercial centers of North Olympus, with a population of hundreds of thousands in its heyday, and almost all goods on the continent were traded here, making it a thriving commercial city.

But an incident changed the place completely.

Until now, the results of the investigation into that incident have not been made public, and it was the first time in history that the Templar and the Rainbow Tower had joined forces to deal with it. There was a lot of talk, but there was no unanimous conclusion.

The only thing known was that the city disappeared from the map overnight, and the space within a radius of hundreds of miles turned into a barren desert, dyed with chaotic and wild magic.

And tens of thousands of people also evaporated at the same time, no one knew where these people went, and all the information about this incident was sealed in the cabinet and no one mentioned it again.

But as long as there are people, even the most dangerous wasteland will have adventurers set foot, and now, 700 years later, many adventurers have left the footprints of many adventurers in this desert, and in the heart of the desert, even the first fortress to stand in the wasteland after the holy war has been established.

Rosen walked in the desert, his armor burned hot in the scorching sun, and if it weren't for the magic of his cloak, he would have burned red.

It had been a month since he left Byron Weis, and the city that had been sacrificed was barely a tenth of its population left, and the relevant information was blocked by the Templar who arrived later, and I don't know what kind of means were taken, but no one leaked the events that took place in the city that day.

Rosen traveled all the way north, traveling along the border city of the kingdom of Astel and the wasteland, during which he was uneventful, and did not encounter any cultists in trouble, although occasionally he could bump into a few guys who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth to rob, but afterwards there were always a few more bastards who were beaten down, and Rosen walked away.

A gust of wind blows and the sand dunes move with it, making the terrain even more complicated, and while it is not like the Eternal Night Forest, which is blocked by a continuous rain of magical power, the desert itself is a land of death.

Here, all order is gone, the day is high enough to roast people, the night is dripping into ice, and the props indicating the direction also fail the moment you step here, if you are not an adventurer who is extremely familiar with the desert, it is easy to get lost here, and finally turn into food for the monsters hidden in the desert.

It has been three days since Rosen entered this desert, and he did not face such a desperate situation because the undead did not need to drink water and eat, and a month of meditation and practice also allowed him to touch the threshold of the bronze midstream, but it was indeed a huge trouble to find the way.

In the wasteland, even if you can see the sun, it does not mean that it can indicate the direction, and many times, walking in the direction of the setting sun for most of the day, only to find that you have circled back to the original point, which is a huge psychological pressure for adventurers who have not been deeply involved in the world.

But Rosen has other options.

He pulled out a crystal from his waist bag, and the translucent crystal contained a tiny rainbow that shimmered and shimmered, revealing traces of magical power.

This is something that Liliana gave him, supposedly as a credential for being a guest of honor in the Rainbow Tower.

Lawson studied for a long time, and finally used the [Identification] skill to figure out the common use of this thing.

【Rainbow Key】

【Excellent】

【Key to the Rainbow Tower】

[A promise from the high-level mages of the Rainbow Tower, possessing it means that the doors of the Rainbow Tower are always open to you]

[There is a small magic circle inside, which contains different spells depending on the producer]

[If the goddess closes the door for some people, then this key is the key to open that door]

Lawson confirmed that the spell in it was a search spell, but unlike the usual spells that find specific items, this one can find the location of the object in the owner's mind.

For example, now, if Lawson wants to find the location of the stronghold where the outpost is located, this rainbow key will guide him to the observation post, and if he wants to find the traces of Elandall or someone else, as long as there is some contact, this spell can also indicate the approximate location.

Of course, Lawson also tried the position of Liliana, for example, but the position he got was a mess, and some of the strong people who were at the top of the hunt list had the same result, it seems that this spell is linked to the strength of the wielder, and it is not omnipotent.

In fact, this spell called "Star Positioning" should be a low-level spell of the prophecy system, and items can be found through the location of the stars, only people at and below the Black Iron Level, and places that have not been equipped with spell defenses can be found, and Lawson also heard Liliana say that the outpost is located inside the fortress, so he targeted the fortress to search.

If you search the observation post directly, then the place that has been protected by a lot of magic will definitely not be found with this spell.

However, even so, the direction of the spell can sometimes be extremely incorrect, and on several occasions, Lawson was still walking in the right direction in the morning, but by night there had already been a deviation, and it seemed that the chaotic magic of this wasteland still had an effect on it.

Lawson did not choose to go with others in order to hide his eyes, and walked alone in the desert, killing several monsters with desert characteristics along the way.

For example, the huge worm corpse that he is now piercing with his great sword.

The worm was about five yards long, most of its body was made of rock, and it traveled fairly quickly through the desert, its mouthparts were countless sharp layers of teeth, capable of tearing apart even the strongest leather armor in a single breath, and a few would have to shed a layer of skin if touched by a normal person.

These monsters usually have the strength to get close to the black iron, hidden under the sand, elusive, and a headache for some small caravans, Lawson has seen the hunting warrants for these monsters in the taverns around the shallow desert more than once, but it seems that their numbers have not been reduced too much over the years.

But the monster was dead, and the monster known as the Sand Worm had already fallen into a tragic fate when it tried to attack Lawson - or rather, when he accidentally stepped on its tail.

There are not many parts of these bugs that can be used directly, and Lawson took some brain marrow leachate according to the hint of the [Identification] skill and discarded his corpse on the desert.

But just as Lawson put away the vial of cloudy liquid and was about to check his position again, there was a muffled sound in front of him.

Jue's ability spread, and Rosen sensed the two teams of people, and the previous muffled sound seemed to be the sound of explosives exploding.

Immediately after, the sound of metal clashing sounded, a melody that Rosen was quite familiar with.

It was the clashing of swords.
