Chapter 111: Legends
The Land of Chaos, the Orchid City.
It is an oasis in the middle of a vast desert around which people have built their cities.
The sky is full of yellow sand flying, and the people on the outskirts of Youlan City can only hide at home in this weather, otherwise they may be in danger of being swallowed by the yellow sand in the sky.
There were no wide walls to cover it, and there were no shields of magical arrays, and the low earth and stone houses seemed to be ready to topple down in the midst of the raging storm.
However, the residents here have little to worry about this, they have been accompanied by the wind and sand for generations, and countless people have paid a heavy price to sum up the experience of blood and sweat.
Humans are indeed an extremely adaptable species, even in difficult circumstances......
Everyone who lives here learns to observe nature and guess when and how big a sandstorm will come based on the experience passed down from their ancestors.
In a tenacious and strong earth and stone house in this dim storm, the old man skillfully rubbed the tobacco in his hand, but his eyes were tightly attracted by the candlelight, and in the flickering and dancing candlelight, it seemed that time was flowing, and the old man seemed to see his life experience through this layer of candlelight......
"Grandpa...... Grandpa......" The milky sound woke the old man suddenly, and he shook his head slightly, driving the trance-like feeling out of his head. Then his eyes turned to his little grandson, who was tugging at the corners of his clothes.
"Little right, grandpa is here. A kind smile appeared on the old man's face, and his wrinkled hand caressed the child's young face.
"Grandpa, I still want to hear your story. The little boy had big bright eyes and a glint of curiosity in his eyes.
“...... I've talked about it so many times, can't you get tired of listening to it?" the old man happily picked up the little boy and let him sit on his lap.
He is an ordinary old man in this Youlan City, and his life experience is so plain, and there are only a handful of parts that can be told into a story.
"Grandpa will tell me something else today, Xiaoyou, this story was told to grandpa by grandpa's grandfather, and grandpa will tell you today......" The old man's face showed a look of reminiscence, as if he remembered what he was like when he was a child......
"Hmm!" The little boy nodded happily, his face full of anticipation.
"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the land was barren, and terrible monsters were rampant on the land, and people became food for monsters...... It wasn't until later that the merciful [God] appeared in this world, and the [God] subdued the most terrifying dragons in the Warcraft and successfully influenced them...... After that, the gods asked the [dragon] to protect the humans from being harmed by the cruel monsters. ”
"Dragon......" the little boy muttered. "Grandpa, grandpa, what does a dragon look like?"
"This ...... This grandfather doesn't know, grandpa has never seen a dragon, but the legend says that the dragon is very majestic and can fly into the sky......"
......The sudden knock on the door made the old man's face change slightly, and he looked at the dark sandstorm outside the window, and he really couldn't think of who would come to him at this time.
"Anyone...... We are travelers passing by, this sandstorm is too big, we want to take this place to avoid the limelight......" The deep and warm voice of the young man came from outside the door.
The old man was slightly stunned, now the storm outside is just right, and the people who can pass through such a storm ...... I'm afraid there are only people like those who live in the inner city, those transcendents with vast powers.
After thinking about it for a while, the old man understood that he had to open the door, those transcendents in the inner city had extremely strange and violent tempers, and if they angered such people, they would probably be destroyed......
The old man motioned for the little boy to go back to his room, and then came to the door, the sound of the wind and sand crackling on the wooden door, which was a special kind of local wood gate, which had a strong toughness, otherwise the wooden door would not have lasted long in such a big storm.
Creak...... The old wooden door opened with a heavy sound, and the old man sighed slightly, it seemed that he would have to change the door when the sandstorm receded...... I don't know if the descendants of the old Liu family can come to help......
When his thoughts drifted slightly, the door was completely opened, to the old man's surprise, there was no whistling wind and sand outside the door, only a faint white halo, a total of four people stood in the halo, if they were not wearing ordinary clothes, the old man thought that the gods had descended, after all, the white halo was so dazzling.
"Old man, we want to borrow a day and wait for the wind and sand to recede. The young man at the head smiled and said, he was handsome and handsome, but his only arm was so conspicuous.
The old man could easily sense that the youth was not malicious, nor was he as domineering as those transcendents in the inner city.
"Come in first. At this time, the old man could only greet the young man, and there were two girls, one older and one young, and the older girl had a face similar to that of the young man.
There was also a middle-aged man behind the three of them, and the middle-aged man followed behind the three of them timidly, and it could be seen that he was in awe of this young man......
"You want to borrow a night?" the old man beckoned to a few people in his room, because there were not enough chairs in the house to greet the guests, so the old man had to let these sudden visitors sit on the edge of the bed.
"Hmm. The young man nodded.
"I'm afraid one night is not enough, this sandstorm will blow for at least two days......" The old man glanced at the sandstorm outside the window.
“...... Then please let us stay a few more days, and of course we will pay a certain amount. The young man frowned slightly, but quickly regained his mood.
"You don't have to pay for it. The old man sighed slightly, "But you have to solve the food problem by yourself these days, and my family has no extra food." ”
"Good. "Young people don't care about that.
"What do you call a young man?" the old man suddenly remembered that he did not know the name of the young man in front of him.
"My name is Qin Tian. Jian Ling Tian said with a smile, the pseudonym he had been using since he came to this chaotic place, "This is my sister, Qin Xin." Jian Lingtian thought about it, and fortunately introduced them one by one
"Hello uncle. Jian Lingxin had a smile on his face.
"This is also my sister, Qin Yu. Jian Lingtian pointed to the petite Wan Qianyu, and hesitated for a while, he didn't know how to introduce Wan Qianyu, but he quickly thought that the names of himself and the others were all made up, and the relationship was just about it.
Wan Qianyu's face was filled with an unusually happy smile.
"This is my [employer], his name is Wei He. Jian Ling Tian pointed to Wei He, who was standing.
"How many people are here, ......?" the old man didn't care about the identities of a few people, he was just curious that there were outsiders coming to this Youlan City at this time, after all, it was in the sandstorm period recently.
"We're here ....... Jian Ling Tian smiled slightly, "Looking for the legend about the [Dragon]!"
