Chapter Thirty-Eight: Alice
"Autumn is here, I don't know when it's winter!"
Pushing open the window, the cool autumn breeze hit, looking at the fallen leaves flying in the wind, Adolf squinted his eyes and said with some emotion.
His eyes moved to a camphor tree not far from the window, and soon after the arrival of autumn, when the other trees began to lose their leaves, the leaves of this tree had already fallen, revealing its withered yellow and dull branches, exuding a dull atmosphere.
There are some white spots scattered on the trunk of the tree, if you don't pay attention to it you can't see it at all, these white spots are termites with fangs, no wonder the leaves of this camphor book tree will wither to the ground so quickly, and the heart of the tree may have been hollowed out by termites.
"Decaying trees, decaying empires!" Adolf took a deep look at the camphor trees swaying in the autumn wind and turned to leave the room, this time to lay the largest net ever made.
Adolf did not see that there were some green seedlings next to the roots of the camphor tree, and if a botanist saw them, he knew that they were new seedlings of the camphor tree.
……
Watching the last rays of the sunset, Carré left Piazza Sylvia, rejecting the invitation of seven maidens to talk to nine noblewomen.
When he returned to Pierce's estate, the moon hung high and the sky was full of bright stars, and the bright moonlight and hazy starlight were so enchanting, and Carré felt for the first time that the night sky could be so charming.
However, when he returned to his room, he found that the night sky was not so charming.
The night is beautiful, the people are more beautiful!
Dressed in a low-cut red silk camisole that resembled pajamas, Delina reclined on his bed, her red eyes full of teasing, a large area of fair skin revealed in Carré's field of vision, and the room was lit only by an alchemy lamp on a bedside table, which looked a little dim, but made this fragrant scene impactful.
Carré suddenly felt parched and swallowed hard, a scene he knew well, and Delina had dressed like that on the night he had become a man from a boy.
"What's wrong, you don't recognize me!" Delina looked at Carré, laughed, turned around and put down the wine glass in her hand, maybe the range of movement was a little large, maybe there was a problem with the quality of the camisole shirt, a suspender strap on her left shoulder suddenly broke, it was originally a low-cut suit, and as a result, a tall and plump mass appeared in front of Carré.
Carré's breathing had become a little heavy, his heart was beating like a drum, and he hadn't touched Delina since he came to Stormwind and felt like he was leaving, for fear of increasing Delina's longing for him.
He was now at the age of surging blood and energy, and it was a great torture for him who had already reached this taste.
"Tonight, you shouldn't have come." Carré suppressed the desire in his heart, and his voice was a little hoarse.
In the past few days, he has actually snubbed Delina a little, just to dilute the sadness of separation, but he didn't expect Delina to come tonight.
Delina smiled seductively at Carré, raised the glass next to her, and slowly poured the blood-red wine onto her body, the red wine forming a striking contrast with the fair skin.
Carré didn't endure it anymore, he tore his clothes apart and turned into a beast and pounced on him.
"Tonight, you're mine!" Wrapping her arms around Carré's neck, Delina whispered in Carré's ear, her smooth little tongue teasingly adding to Carré's ear.
This night, destined to be crazy, Carré turned his love for Delina and the helplessness in his heart into crazy whipping again and again, and Delina also turned her love and reluctance for Carré into pandering again and again.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly brighter that the two of them stopped, and although Delina's strength had now recovered to that of a half-step martial king, her body was still sore, lying lazily on the messy bed, not wanting to move.
Delina's breathing gradually stabilized, as if she had fallen asleep, Carré carefully got up from the bed, lest she wake up Delina, got dressed, took out a letter and a very delicate ring box from the space ring and put it on the bedside table, attached herself to Delina on the forehead and kissed it gently, and said a few words silently.
After one last deep look at Delina, Carré left the room and walked in the direction of the train station.
Carré didn't see it, when he walked out of the room, Delina, who was originally asleep, had two lines of tears silently flowing down the corners of her eyes, and when she heard Carré's footsteps gradually disappearing, Delina sat up from the bed, tears flashing in her eyes.
Open the ring box, there is a beautiful ring inside, the jewelry set on the ring has a faint spatial fluctuation, when she saw the 'KTOD' on the inside of the ring, Delina's tears finally couldn't hold back, tears seemed to be gushing out without stopping.
Sobbing a little, Delina opened the envelope, there were only a few words written on a blank piece of paper, seeing the contents of the letter, Delina hurriedly ran to the window, looked at Carré's somewhat blurred back, and cried out: "I will wait for you, I will wait for you!" ”
Hearing Delina's somewhat grief-stricken voice, Carré felt a sudden cramp in his heart, and when he still didn't look back, he continued to walk forward and disappeared from Delina's vision.
In the early morning of autumn, the morning glow is golden and the sun is shining, but there is a hint of coolness.
Standing by the window, Delina closed her eyes, and after a long, long time, she opened her eyes again, and the temperament of indifference in her body rose again, and Delina's God-given Pope returned.
Glancing at the contents of the paper again, a smile appeared on the corner of Delina's mouth.
If I come back one day, I will wear this ring for you myself.
The ring represents a strong meaning, in other words, if I come back one day, I will definitely marry you!
Carré still left a promise for Delina, albeit somewhat vaguely, not after his passion with Delina, but the result of an afternoon of contemplation in Plaza Sylvia.
……
There was a rumbling sound, and a steam train from Stormwind to Alia ran on the tracks, cutting through the morning glow.
In the first class carriage of the train, Carré sat quietly by the window, chin cage, staring out the window at the wheat fields and cottages that flashed by.
Opposite Carré sat a woman of about twenty years of age, good-looking, blonde hair and blue eyes, but her skin was a little wheat-colored, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her small nose, full of intellectual beauty.
At this moment, the woman sitting opposite Carré was carefully looking at Carré.
"Hello, my name is Lancelot, I'm from Stormwind City, and my destination is Aria." Carré turned his head and looked at the woman sitting across from him, smiling lightly.
This woman should not usually communicate with others, and when she heard Carré say hello, she suddenly looked a little flustered: "I...... That...... My name is Alice, I'm a geologist and archaeologist, and my destination is Aliya. ”
"What a coincidence, for the next five days, please be considerate!" Carré saw the restraint of the girl in front of him and smiled.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy a state-class car with only one person, the problem is that Aliya is just a very remote city in the northern Xinjiang, located next to the inaccessible Sahara Desert, and the best car from Stormwind City to Aliya is the first-class car, and it is shared by the two.
"In the next few days, it is estimated that it will be difficult to cultivate!" Carré thought in his heart, after all, when he was frantically cultivating Yuan Force, he took a bottle of Yuan Force Factor Recovery Elixir almost half an hour, and ordinary people must be suspicious when they saw it so frequently.
However, he was not too depressed, his cultivation was too hurried in the previous period, and his body was too tight, and now it is okay to take a rest, and at this moment he is still wearing a gravity suit, even if he sits, he can exercise his body, but in order not to make others suspicious, the gravity suit did not cover his hands.
The multiple of gravity clothing is not high, only twice the gravity, not that he can't hold on to stronger gravity, but in order to let the body have a gradual bearing process, otherwise gravity will increase too fast, which is a big burden on all organs of the body, and the purpose of exercise will not be achieved at that time, and it will also lead to his own injury, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Delina also warned him not to be too ambitious, adjust the gravity too high, otherwise it will cause damage to the internal organs of the body, and it may not be good to rest for several months, and it may leave some sequelae.
However, even twice the gravity is not so easy to bear, Carré feels as if the whole person is deep in the sea, and any movement will be met with strong resistance, and when he first puts on the gravity suit, it is a little difficult to breathe.
He opened his purse and pulled out a book about the Sahara Desert, which contained only a few changes of clothes and a dozen books about the desert.
In fact, for Carley, who has a space crystal, the leather bag is of no use at all, but in order to hide the matter of owning the space ring, he has to prepare a leather bag in disguise and put some necessities in it.
Seeing the contents of Carré's purse, Alice couldn't help but look at Carré a few more times, and when she saw that the books Carré was carrying were all about the desert, there was a special look in her eyes.
After making two cups of black tea and handing one to Alice on the other side, Carré sat by the window, carefully reading the book in his hand, although her current combat power is not weaker than that of the silver warriors, stronger than ninety percent of the warriors on the continent today, but to go to the Sahara Desert, he must be fully prepared.
The Sahara Desert is not an exaggeration to call it a forbidden land on the mainland.
The Sahara Desert, located in the northwest of the Jialan continent, is vast, nearly one billion square kilometers, and according to legend, it is said that it continues to go north across the Sahara Desert, which is where the orcs are located today.
But this rumor has not been confirmed, the Sahara Desert is extremely hot during the day, the temperature can reach sixty or seventy degrees, and the temperature of the ground gravel can reach more than 100 degrees, and after the night falls, the desert is extremely cold, dripping into ice, and the coldest time can reach more than 100 degrees.
As far as the eye can see, the view is full of golden gravel.
With this harsh environment and vast territory, even a heaven-level martial saint may not be able to cross the Sahara Desert.
"You're interested in the Sahara?" Seeing Carré put down the book, Alia asked with some curiosity.
"Why, can't you?" Taking a sip of black tea, Carré smiled lightly.
Alice hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just curious, looking at the age, you are only twelve or thirteen years old, it is the day of school, shouldn't you be interested in all kinds of knights, I see that your purse is full of books about the desert." ”
"I'm not a student!" Carré shook his head.
Alice was stunned in her heart, the popularity rate of ordinary schools is still very high today, and the cost of going to school is not particularly expensive, even if it is an ordinary civilian family, it is not too much of a problem to support a child to go to school and complete his studies, and grit his teeth.
And looking at the clothes on Carré's body, the fabric is very soft and delicate, and it does not look like he has no money.
"I am an explorer, and I think that traveling around the mainland, seeing all the mountains and rivers on the continent, and appreciating the customs and customs of various places is my pursuit." Carré said with a light smile, feeling a little helpless in his heart, and it always felt a little unrealistic to say this.
But there is no way, this is the identity that Delina has arranged for him now, a child from a well-off family, who dreams of traveling all over the continent, and at the age of twelve, he began his own journey, and he just visited the Nurha steppe not long ago.
Only in this way is it in line with today's Carré, after all, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who is not in school and what he is doing in the Sahara Desert.
Alice suddenly felt very curious, a teenager turned out to be an explorer, but it also solved a doubt in her heart, she always felt that this teenager was a little too mature, his mental age far exceeded his biological age, and his eyes occasionally showed a touch of indifference, if he was an explorer who had a certain experience, he would have seen things far beyond his peers, so it was not surprising to behave like this.
"Are you going to the Sahara Desert this time?" Although Alice wondered if the other party's parents didn't care about Carré, she was still aroused by curiosity and asked.
"Yes!" Carré nodded, smiling.
"The Sahara Desert, one of the most dangerous places on the continent, is beautiful and fascinating, with countless treasures buried, and every explorer is eager to explore her mysteries."
Alice thought for a moment and replied, "But the Sahara Desert is also very dangerous, and there are many people who go to the Sahara Desert every year to explore treasures, and only very few people can gain something, and most of them die in it. ”
After a pause and a glance at Carré, Ellie stopped talking, but finally said: "Moreover, in my opinion, most of the legends about treasures are not true, the Sahara Desert was formed for hundreds of thousands of years, enough to go back to the oldest dragon era, and the characteristics of alternating hot and cold make even fire dragons who like heat and ice dragons who love cold avoid it."
For hundreds of thousands of years, only the goblin civilization has overcome the harsh conditions of the Sahara Desert and lived in the Sahara Desert, but the problem is that the goblin civilization disappeared after more than 30,000 years, although the tools of the goblin civilization are very powerful, but it is almost impossible to preserve the desert with such a harsh environment for 30,000 years. ”
