Chapter 19: Yuba's Defectors

The famous desert oasis of Yuba on an ordinary morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info ushered in a group of people who were not so ordinary.

"It's a desert oasis! it's so prosperous!" Roger sighed as he looked at the vendors along the street.

"Prosperity is just a faΓ§ade. Even the Oasis is a limited amount of fresh water. "Carpenter knows very well. "Let's go find Big Brother Doto. ”

Roger nodded and followed. However, a fresh face can always arouse the desire of profiteers. This middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes came to them with a golden apple in his hand.

"Guests from afar, come and see our Yuba specialty! This is a golden apple that can live for a thousand years just by taking one bite!" The middle-aged man stopped the group with the apple.

"How do you know we're guests from afar?" asked Ah Jin as he jumped in front of the arrival. He was interested in fruits, not just bananas.

"Because the locals don't look around like you do. The middle-aged man explained briefly.

"How much does your apple look delicious?" asked Ah Jin cheerfully.

"A thousand Baileys. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"It's so expensive, forget it. Ah Jin pursed his lips and refused. He didn't actually know the prices, but he didn't have a Bailey on him.

"This is a golden apple that can live for a thousand years with one bite! A thousand Baileys are already sold cheaply!" the middle-aged man continued to tempt unwillingly.

"I'm sorry, but we're not interested in living for a thousand years, as long as we can fulfill our dreams. Roger looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and laughed. He rejected the seller instead of a boatload of people.

Carpenter stood beside Roger and watched the scene quietly. He didn't say anything. In his eyes, no matter what Roger and his gang decide, it has nothing to do with him for the time being.

After a brief hiccup, Carpenter continued with Roger and the group. They walked all the way to the door of a large, ordinary house on the street. Carpenter stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A short time later, a young man dressed in a white robe and wearing a turban came over and opened the door. After seeing the people clearly, he turned sideways and welcomed them in.

In the main hall of the room, there were already two people waiting there, and a man of about thirty years old with a stout body and a beard sat in the main seat.

Beside him sat an extremely tall man, one who sat taller than they stood. It can be seen that he has to stand up for almost three or four meters.

Carpenter looked extremely wary when he saw the man. "Why are you here, Portman!" the little giant is Yuba's captain of the guard!

"I joined the rebels half a month ago, Carpenter. Portman greeted Carpenter with a smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his expression of regret, which was mixed with a slight hatred of iron and steel: "I almost grew up watching Kobra, I really didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

"Carpenter, don't you want to introduce me to your friends?" said Doto instead of Portman, he greeted Carpenter directly.

"They, they're caravans, they're escorting me to Yuba, I've figured out how to make fresh water, and I'm being hunted down by Carthus, thanks to them! we don't have to go to Albana!" said Carpenter with an excited face.

Although he had already guessed why Carpenter had come, after hearing that he didn't have to go to Albana, Portman's eyes changed imperceptibly. He'd love to go to Albana!

"Even if you make fresh water, the king will not necessarily cancel the tax on fresh water, you must let him know the power of the people!" Portman looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"But we don't have to do that! and there will be casualties if the war starts, so there's no need for it!" Carpenter looked impatient. He came to avoid war! He wanted to solve the problem peacefully!

"In the past, there was no way to produce fresh water from the sea, and the people of Alabastan have struggled with nature for nearly a millennium. So the crux of the matter is not at all in the amount of fresh water, Carpenter. Doto looked worried.

"I told you a long time ago that scientific research can't save the land of sand. Because the problem is not water shortage at all. ”

Carpenter was depressed. He didn't expect that all the efforts he had made for so long would be in vain, and he still didn't stop the war in the end. His big brother Toto and the inexplicable Yuba Captain were in favor of starting a war.

Carpenter's counterpoint was Portman's mouth tugging at the corners of his mouth, and Doto was moving forward the way he most expected.

"But there is something more important than this, how did you get rid of Carthus?" Doto clearly remembered the key thing.

"My other friend, Bit, stayed behind to intercept him. Carpenter replied.

"Well, then you might as well go over and have a look. Doto said with a frown.

Hearing Doto say this, Roger was obviously not happy. "Hey, don't you trust my partner so much!

Doto shook his head and said, "I don't doubt the strength of your companion, but it is also true that he is not familiar with the terrain of Alabastan. Carpenter, think about it, what's in the southwest of Yuba?"

Looking at the serious Doto, Carpenter also calmed down. I don't get so excited about this journey anymore. "The southwest of Yuba...... Quicksand!" Carpenter's face changed suddenly. That's a Jedi!

Doto nodded. "So you see, go and see. Hopefully there is still time to get him out. ”

Carpenter answered, then turned and ran out. Nuss wanted to follow, but was stopped by Reilly. "I'll just go over, don't worry, Bit can't die. ”

"While I don't think Carter, as the captain of the kingdom's guards, would need to use these tricks against an unsolicited caravan, Carpenter would have to go and see if he wanted to, even if it was to collect the body of the unknown hero. Portman didn't know if he was talking the right thing or the other way.

"Hey, stupid big man, there's a kind of you're saying it again! I'm going to teach you a good lesson!" Ah Jin yelled at Portman.

Portman clearly didn't take it to heart. "I'm sorry, unknown traveler, but I didn't mean to offend you. ”

Then he asked Doto, "When are we leaving for the royal capital, chief?"

However, Doto looked at Portman with a serious face and shook his head, and said, "It's not 'us' who are going to the royal capital, it's us. ”
