Chapter 305: Sand Sea New World: Far West
The sand is long, the sun is scorching the earth all the time, and the heat wave is steaming, as if the world has become blurred.
The wind, blowing weakly, he could not bring the slightest coolness, only endless dryness and heatwaves, this is not like the wind, more like the invisible heat wave, above the desert, the caravan has been moving tactfully, the bells under the camel's neck jingle crisply, the desert boats (camels' nicknames) squirm their lips, chewing on the food stored in their bodies.
The caravan guards and servants walked on the ground, protecting the camels dragging the goods, and five or six caravan guards on camels on camels were dressed in scale armor and veils over their faces, and patrolled around the caravan with spears, and in the middle of the caravan were several carriages, which were dragged by a huge four-legged lizard, they were burly, but extremely flat, and not suitable for riding, but they were full of strength and adaptability, and were very suitable for the capacity of long-distance transportation in such an environment.
The carriages were relatively ordinary, looking like ordinary caravans, but in one of them, a white-bearded old man wearing an Arabic-style robe sat on a blanket, and looked at a woman sitting in front of him with a sad face.
"Your Highness, why don't you listen to the advice of the old ministers? The Principality of Shahai is the only one who can save our Moluo Kingdom, although their third prince can't be the emperor of the Principality of Shahai, but he is also extremely influential in their country, where is he not worthy of you?"
The old man's words made the young woman who was called His Royal Highness glance unsatisfied, although he couldn't see the expression on his face, but the resentment could still be clearly felt, the old man sighed helplessly when he saw this scene, and was about to persuade again, but the carriage suddenly stopped.
The old man felt that the carriage had stopped and became very nervous for a moment, he looked at the door and asked loudly:
"What's going on?Why did the car stop?!"
"Sir, there's a man in front of you who has fallen in the sand!"
"This sea of sand didn't fall hundreds of people that day, just let us meet one of the people who made a fuss?
When the old man heard that it was nothing more than a 'broken house' that had fallen in the sand, he breathed a sigh of relief and was furious at the same time, a pariah was just a pariah, and actually made their entire team stop, but the people outside spoke:
"Master, this person, I think it's better for you to take a look, he doesn't look like an ordinary nobleman!"
The guards of the caravan are all following the old man to see the world, and if they can say that they are not ordinary nobles, they must be a big man, but how can a big man lie alone in the sand?
The old man thought for a moment, and then said to the woman:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old minister will go down and have a look, but don't come out. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he pushed the car door and walked down, on the flat ground next to him, a group of people gathered in a small circle, seeing the old man coming, the crowd immediately dispersed, lowered his head, and it could be seen that the old man was still very prestigious, and the old man looked through the crowd, and was stunned for a moment, because the old man could see at a glance that this was not an ordinary nobleman, why? Because ordinary nobles can't afford to wear such luxurious armor at all, even the old man has never seen such exquisite armor in the entire Sand Sea World, and some of the shadowy patterns on it even exude a faint energy fluctuation, like those alchemists' potions, this kind of armor The old man has never seen it.
And the person who can wear such armor will definitely not be an ordinary nobleman, no, definitely not a nobleman, at least he has never seen that king can have such fine armor, the old man looked at this person, he asked the people around him and thought about it after learning that he was still alive, and decided not to take risks, this person has such excellent armor and is placed here alone, then he must have some powerful enemy, his country is already troubled now, there is no need to cause more trouble for this person。
Just as the old man was about to let the people below leave it alone and move on, the woman who was called Her Royal Highness the Princess walked to her side at some point:
"Come, bring him in, and send a doctor to heal him, well, maybe it will be useful later. ”
Her Royal Highness the Princess's words surprised the old man: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you not to come out? Why did you still come out, what if this was seen by their rangers?
"Where are there any rangers, this is already the boundary of the Duchy of the Sand Sea, and it is impossible for those people from the Fire Worship Kingdom to appear here, and if there is no place to put it, then put it on my car. ”
After Her Royal Highness finished speaking, she returned directly to the carriage, the old man looked at her resoluteness and knew that now was not the time to be angry, after thinking about it, he decided to listen to the princess's words, after all, this trip to the Duchy of Shahai, but all of it depends on her, if she is not satisfied with the delay in things, then how can she face the king's high expectations for herself.
So, the caravan paused in the boundless sea of sand and moved forward again, and this time, there was an unplanned person in the group.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the doctor said that there is nothing wrong, just that he is in a coma, give him some water, and then get some sleep. ”
A maid sat at the head of Her Royal Highness the princess, looked at the unconscious man and said, the princess was also looking at the man in front of her at this time, he had a look that was obviously different from the people in the sand sea world, black hair and black eyes, this kind of characteristic is not absent in the sand sea world, but it is extremely rare, and the princess does not know that among the five countries of the sand sea, there is a high-level country with this kind of appearance.
The princess watched the maid slowly send the clear lake water to the man's mouth, the clear water fell down his throat, making the man's face look better, it seemed that the water had an effect, the princess looked at the man carefully, for some reason, this man seemed to have a touching charm, and the armor he was wearing was really fine, and there was even a certain golden crown on his head, and he knew that he must be a big man at a glance.
Just as the princess was about to take a closer look at this infinitely intimate man, Lelouch opened his eyes, he looked at everything around him, and then his eyes locked on the princess and the maid in front of him, who were obviously panicked, and his mouth moved, and he said:
"Why not on the rocks?"
Princess: "..."
Handmaiden: "..."
...
The caravan rested at night under a sheltered pile of sand, the camels and desert lizards were kept separately in captivity, and after replenishing them with forage and cured meat, they were given only a small portion of water, a few tents were in the camp, a few campfires were burning, and they danced wildly with the night wind, and the desert night was very cold.
Lelouch sat alone on the sand slope, his clothes had completely changed, the conspicuous set of armor was wrapped in a black linen robe, the crown on his head was placed in his arms, and his cheeks were buried deep in the shadow of the cloak, fortunately, the armor was extremely slim and compact, so after wearing the black linen robe, he couldn't see the inside at all, he could only feel that this person was a little bit strong.
The starry sky of the desert is also breathtakingly beautiful, sitting on the sand, the world in your ears is pure, although there is no full moon in this world, but the starlight is still enough to illuminate the whole world, the starry sky is like a huge curtain, covering the world.
Lelouch had just finished the call with Kelgan in the distance, and now he was in a good mood, he had already understood through the conversation with Kelgan that he was still on this planet, but it was far away, and through mutual geographical remote sensing, Lelouch knew that he was now in the west of the empire, the extreme west! The situation of the empire has been clearly understood through Kelgen Lelouch, and he has also ruled the empire remotely through Kelgan, Kelgen and Lelouch are one, since Kelgen said that Lelouch is not dead, then Lelouch is definitely not dead.
So the empire has now begun to slowly cool down, when asked when he will come back, Lelouch is to let Kelgen not panic, now that the affairs of Middle-earth have come to an end, and he came to such a world in front of him by chance, it is really a little unreasonable not to take a good look, this may become the next direction of the empire's expansion?
And if Kelgen is allowed to pick him up, then wouldn't there really be a power vacuum in the empire, Lelouch is still a little uneasy, just let Kelgen convey that after the empire develops and reforms according to the established strategy, let them prepare the army, no matter whether Lelüch finally decides to return to the empire or conquer here, it is indispensable to have the support of the expeditionary force.
Lelouch had just finished his official business, when he heard a person approaching behind him, he knew that it was a woman, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, and sure enough, the princess who saved Lelouch sat next to Lelouch:
"I see you haven't eaten for most of the day, so let's get some food. ”
Lelouch looked, the princess handed him a bunch of raisins and a piece of freshly burned cured meat, and then a pot of water, it was this dinner, Lelouch did not refuse, the foodie empire, will not refuse any food he has never eaten, after eating a bite I have to say that the taste is still very good, not to mention the grilled cured meat, even the bunch of raisins is definitely not the earth's quantified raisins can be compared, the taste and texture are wonderful, a mouthful of relish, if you drink a sip of water at this time, it feels like eating another bunch of grapes without air drying。
It's a great treat, and on a dry desert night, eating such a bunch of grapes, all the hot irritability will be washed away, and only a peaceful heart remains.
"I see you're dressed very well, I don't know if you're a big nobleman in that country?"
The princess's curious question made Lelouch couldn't help but laugh a little, noble? Lelouxiu's smile made the princess a little annoyed, perhaps because her country was weak and she was a little afraid of others looking down on her, so she was a little sensitive, while Lelouch looked at the princess after laughing, and said in a half-joking tone:
"I, I'm not a nobleman. ”
After Lelouch finished speaking, the princess had a ghostly expression, and then Lelouch became normal and serious and added:
"I'm not a nobleman, I'm a human emperor!"
The princess was stunned for a moment, her mood became very bad, the person in front of her must be looking down on herself and playing with herself, she couldn't help but say:
"Emperor of the People, doesn't that mean that we are also your people?"
Hearing such a question, Lelouch looked at the princess's whole body, and the princess couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she violated her eyes behind her back, but Lelouch then thought about it very seriously and said:
"You look about the same as me, so you are also a human race, so, yes, you are also my people, I am your emperor!"
Lelouch's 'arrogance' made the princess lose interest in talking, he left Lelouch and walked towards the camp below, she was very tired from the day's travel, and now was a good time to rest, she had not slept well before she came to the boundary of the Duchy of Sand Sea.
And Lelouch looked at the princess who left speechlessly, with a smile on his face, these years, to be honest, it can't be done? The human emperor, of course, is the emperor of all mankind, this is not wrong at all, at least Lelouch through the equipment of this caravan guard, it should also be in the medieval period, if he guesses correctly, he only needs less than 50,000 troops to be able to conquer here, and as for how much is needed, you need to take a good look before you can decide.
The wind at night seems to be more noisy, after shouting a few times below Lelouch to rest and get no response, the people below will no longer care about Lelouxiu, there is no need to blow the wind below, but Lelouch is particularly fond of the wind, as if the wind can bring him back to the distance.
The night was quiet, only the whistling night wind whimpered, Lelouch just sat on the sand and closed his eyes to take a nap, he was already a demigod, such sleep was enough for him, the world in his ears was extraordinarily quiet, only the bonfire below cracked from time to time, but these sounds made the world quieter.
Lelouch 'crossed' again, but this time, he traveled to the other side of the planet, far away from the empire he created, in a strange world, but Lelouch did not have the panic and surprise that he opened his eyes in Limburg for the first time, only stability and curiosity.
The world of the Sand Sea? This must be the legendary Far West of Middle-earth.
