Middle East Desert ......

Xiao Mo wandered around the palace for a few days, but he never found a chance to blend in, and he didn't know how good the chances of Alita's survival were reads. (.) Looking at her appearance, she looks like a college student who comes to travel, and there is no way to ensure the safety of local residents in such a place, let alone foreign girls.

The Middle Eastern men who came and went on the streets all looked like terrorists, and they were not easy to approach.

If she couldn't find a chance, she just gave up. She knew that Monica hadn't left yet, and in the corner she couldn't see, he was still following unwillingly. When she found out that it was Monica, she was very shocked and surprised, and she was so angry that she reprimanded him without hesitation. But after calming down, she can still understand his good intentions. However, if this Fountain of Life secret really involves those dead soldiers, wouldn't it be dangerous for Monica to be involved. With this in mind, she decided not to go to the Fountain of Life for now, but to stay and make other plans first.

On the street, when she was strolling like this, a car suddenly stopped in front of her, and before she could come back to her senses, a group of big men rushed out and escorted her directly into the car.

Sure enough, there are no human rights, no human rights at all, it's really sweaty...... Xiao Mo didn't struggle either, she just wanted to sneak into the palace anyway.

On the way, she was covered with a black hood and her hands tied, and she couldn't see anything, except that the car kept moving forward. After about half an hour, she was pushed and got out of the car.

The black cloth cover on her head was removed, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and it took a lot of effort for her to adjust to the light in front of her......

This is a large and ornate palace bedroom, Arabian style, the floor is full of Middle Eastern style thick carpets, large stained glass, beautiful crystal chandeliers......

On the sofa in the distance, a handsome Middle Eastern man hugged a girl, "Baby, look, I also found the person you want, now you should agree to eat!"

The woman was wearing a plain long dress, and Xiao Mo looked at it, wasn't this the Alita she was trying her best to find?

"Well, I'm going to eat, I'm hungry, you go and have someone bring it up!"

"Okay, you eat obediently! I'll be with you in the evening!"

Middle Eastern men are tall, with suits and leather collars, and should have the most important position in this palace by looking at their aura and dress.

After the Middle Eastern man walked out, Alita jumped up from the sofa and went straight to Xiao Mo's side, helping her untie the rope tied around her wrist, "I'm sorry to let you get caught up in this whirlpool." If I had the slightest idea, I wouldn't have made this decision. I lied to them and said, "You're my friend, come with me......"

"Uh......" Xiao Mo touched his wrist that was tied up with a little numbness and soreness, "I've been thinking of a way outside these days, hoping to sneak in and help you get out of danger." So, what did you let them arrest me for?"

"Come here, sit down here!" I tell you slowly...... It all started a year ago, when I was a student, a graduate student in the Department of Archaeology, and a year ago, I came here with my professor Wu Qi to study the remains of an ancient man. Professor Wu Qi disappeared suddenly, he disappeared without leaving any clues, and I was also lost in the desert, hungry and thirsty and almost died. It was Barlow who saved me, the Middle Eastern man you just saw, he was Barlow, he was the little prince of the Abdu royal family. After he rescued me, he let me recuperate here for half a month, and I finally escaped death. Afterward...... Barlow has a crush on me, and he wants me to marry him. I...... To be honest, I don't have a good impression of Middle Easterners, the cultural differences are very large, and although Barlow has been studying in the United States since he was a teenager and is different from ordinary locals, I don't have a good feeling about foreign marriages at all. At that time, I didn't dare to refuse him, for fear that he would do something bad to me, and I dismissed him on the grounds that I had not finished my studies, and I would talk about marriage after I finished my studies. When I returned home, I cut off contact with Barlow, and for a whole year, I almost forgot about his deposit. And the disappearance of Professor Wu Qi, I can only assume that he was killed by accident, you know, that desert is really scary...... During the year I returned home, I dreamed every night that I was still wandering in the sea of sand, unable to get out. Until a month ago, I unexpectedly received a text message from Professor Wu Qi, who used his mobile phone to send me a distress text message asking me to save him. I've been preparing for a month, and I'm still here...... Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the plane, he was caught by Barlow in the palace. I went on a hunger strike against him, hoping that he would let me go! But he refused and always tried to make me eat...... I thought about it, and at last I saw you wandering around the place, so I lied to him and said, "You are my companion......"

Alita's words were very long, and after listening to them, Xiao Mo made up for a long time, and still found a lot of doubts......

"You're trying me to get you out?"

Alita nodded vigorously, "Let's not talk about my feelings for Barlow, now that my professor is waiting for me to come to the rescue, I can't delay any longer." ”

"However, have you ever thought that if your professor is really missing in the desert, even if he survives eating sand, how can his mobile phone last for a year?"

"yes, reads;!I've thought about what you've said, but I think there's another possibility, like he's been rescued by the natives of the desert, or he's being held in custody now, or he's under house arrest in a prison or something. He found a chance to charge it and sent me a text message......"

"Did you call and ask?"

"I called, but the phone was turned off. ”

"It's true, the mobile phone has not been used for a year, and it is said that it should be shut down! If I don't pay the phone bill for a month, the operator will stop it for me. Xiao Mo complained.

"I'm topping him up...... I don't know why, to put it mildly, I think he's still alive. In fact, because I didn't see his body with my own eyes, I still refused to believe in his death. ”

From Alita's sad expression, Xiao Mo seemed to vaguely guess her relationship with the professor.

"Miss, your lunch is ready and ready to eat. ”

The beautiful maid said softly in English, very politely, in the end, it is the palace, and the qiē here is not as bad as Xiao Mo imagined.

"Let's go, let's go eat something and talk while eating!" Alita warmly hugged Xiao Mo's shoulder, Alita is a very frank and honest girl, but she has some love with Xiao Mo.

The dining table covered with beautiful woven scarves is full of all kinds of delicacies, these days, Xiao Mo has been eating some things outside to wrap her stomach, and she has a great appetite in the face of the deliciousness of this big table.

is not pretentious, directly pulled a honey sweat chicken leg and gnawed it, nibbled a few mouthfuls and smiled, "Wouldn't it be too rude?"

At the table, four maids stood straight against the wall, ready to change their dishes.

Alita shrugged her shoulders and ripped off the other chicken leg and put it in her mouth to eat.

"I can't care so much! I'll eat my stomach first and then talk about ......."

"Actually, I think you're so beautiful, it's not bad to stay here and be a princess!"

Xiao Mo looked around at this magnificent palace, and then looked at the vast desert and large date palm groves outside through the big window, and suddenly felt that the magnificence here was simply a fairyland on earth.

"Don't make fun of me, the royal palace has been the most cruel and bloody place since ancient times. I'm not a good fit for this kind of place, and even more so I don't like exotic relationships at all...... By the way, tell me about you, Xiao Mo, what are you doing here?" Alita picked up her glass, took a sip of red wine, and looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.

Xiao Mo stopped eating, was silent for a while, chuckled and shook his head, "I thought about it seriously, I came here to ask for trouble." ”

"Oh, where do you start?"

"I accidentally learned that there is a place called the Fountain of Life in this desert, which seems to be quite mysterious, so I wanted to go and see ......"

Alita's eyes widened, she looked at Xiao Mo in surprise, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, put down the wine glass in her hand, and reached out to hold Xiao Mo's hand, "Oh my God, we are really fateful!"

"Where to start?" Xiao Mo sat calmly.

"It's actually a very long story, and I've heard it from professors, because this archaeological project has nothing to do with our academics. Because our archaeological research is all physical objects with historical evidence, and this archaeology is more like an expedition, because there is no history book on it...... This discovery originated from the professor's discovery when he was inspecting the ancient tomb, which should be when I was in my third year of college, and I found an ancient tomb with the professor in Changbai Mountain, but it was an empty tomb, and the owner of the tomb seemed to be surnamed Ye, and he also left some written records, which we couldn't understand at the time. It wasn't until three years later that the professor suddenly came to me and told me that he had cracked the texts, which he said were about a family with the surname Night, and that they possessed some mysterious powers, which were supernatural. And the text clues point to the desert of the Middle East everywhere, these words seem to be able to unlock the origin of human civilization, and the fountain of life you are talking about is the place where the people of the Night Family hold mysterious sacrifices. Legend has it that after the night family has lived for a hundred years, they can be reborn in the fountain of life through the guò sacrifice......" said Alita Toutou.

Xiao Mo smiled after hearing this, "Well, if you listen to it as a mythical story, I think it's quite interesting." But as a graduate student in the Department of Archaeology, you believe that there are supernatural forces in this world?"

"Yes...... If there is no evidence, how can the professor and I come all the way here?"

Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and nodded seriously, "Okay, anyway, since you're here, it's also to save people, so let's go and see for yourself, we'll know if it's true or not." ”――
