Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Whirlpool Sands
Carré couldn't help but look at Alice a few more times, feeling that he had underestimated this woman with gold wire glasses before, if the other party didn't lie, then the amount of knowledge that the other party had was too amazing, at least he didn't know about the dragon civilization, and he didn't know that the goblin civilization had successfully conquered the Sahara Desert.
"But I've read in the newspapers that there are indeed adventurers who brought out the tools of the goblin civilization from the Sahara Desert." Carré asked with a smile of interest.
"Most of those tools are mainly metal and ceramic vessels, although they are the products of goblin civilization, they are not technical, and they have no effect on the development of alchemy today." Touching the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, Alice said confidently.
"And even these utensils, although they were produced in the era of goblin civilization, were actually defeated by the orc alliance in the battle with the human race more than 10,000 years ago, and in the process of migrating north, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the human soldiers, the orcs buried a large number of treasures in various places in the desert, including some tools of the goblin civilization."
Taking a sip of the black tea in front of her, Alice paused slightly and continued, her tone slightly emotional.
"For more than 10,000 years, under such a long period of baptism, most of the treasures buried by the orcs have decayed, and some divine weapons are now rusty, and even if they are found, they can only be placed in the museum for appreciation! The most important thing adventurers want to get when they go deep into the desert is actually the gold nuggets buried by the orcs in the desert, and the gold that the orcs carried when they migrated back then is countless, even if a small part is buried in the desert, it is a huge amount of money. ”
Carré was slightly shocked in his heart, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Alice, your knowledge is really profound, I admire it!" ”
Alice in front of her, in the field of deserts, is definitely the top scholar.
"Huh!" Hearing Carré's praise, Alice immediately screamed, two blush flushes appeared on her fair face, lowered her head, did not dare to look at Carré, and whispered: "This is nothing! ”
Seeing Alice's scene, Carré couldn't help but smile and continued to pick up the book and read.
Cautiously looking up and peeking at Carré, Alice noticed that the boy was reading the book in his hand, his slightly long white hair hanging down, faintly blocking the boy's ocean-blue eyes.
"Are you still going to the Sahara Desert, the chances of being able to find treasure in the desert are too low, and even if you are lucky, what you find won't be worth much." Alice hesitated, but then spoke.
The Sahara Desert is too dangerous, she is an expert in this area, she knows that countless people die in the Sahara Desert every year, even if the strength is as strong as the golden warrior, entering the desert is in danger of dying, such a teenager, if he enters the desert, the possibility of survival is almost zero.
"Who said I was going to the desert to hunt for treasures." Putting down the book in his hand, his white palm dragging his chin, Carré said with a smile, staring at Alice with blue eyes.
"Didn't you say it yourself?" Alice subconsciously said, her eyes involuntarily swaying from side to side, not looking at Carré.
"I'm an explorer, I go to the desert just to appreciate the charm of the desert, and of course, if there is an opportunity to get treasures, I will not give up." Carré laughed.
Alice was a little embarrassed, the boy sitting opposite really didn't say that the Sahara Desert was for treasure, everything was made up by himself after learning the identity of the boy.
"That, that, the Sahara Desert does have some very beautiful scenery, and even in some places, there are some ancient architectural relics of the goblin civilization." Alice whispered.
Carré smiled, did not speak, and looked out the window at the wheat fields that kept retreating, the golden wheat fields as far as the eye could see, like a sea of gold.
Amid the roar of the train's power furnace, five days passed in a flash, and the train was getting closer and closer to the Sahara Desert.
In the early morning of the fifth day, although it was already late autumn, because of the proximity to the Sahara Desert, there was an inexplicable heat in the air, and the morning sun was very hot and dazzling.
Lying on the bed, Carré opened his eyes slightly, ended the absorption of the light element, got up from the bed, walked into the bathroom to wash up briefly, went to the dining room car to enjoy a delicious breakfast, and after helping Alice ask for breakfast, he returned to his room.
After a few days of getting along, Carré and Alice have become acquainted, of course, not to the level of life and death, but they are already good friends, as can be seen from Carré's behavior of bringing Alice breakfast.
For Alice's identity, Carré was a little shocked in his heart, although he was just twenty years old, he was already the top existence in geology and archaeology, and he was the top lecturer of the first public school in the Jialan Empire.
After all, the area of the Sahara Desert is extremely vast, and if it can survive in the desert, this is simply a milestone for the empire, at least it is much more important than the empire having a few more heaven-level martial saints.
Of course, Alice is not the only one with such an important topic, Alice is just one of them, and many researchers are on their way to Aliya, but because Alice's hometown is Stormwind, she went home to visit and was separated from many researchers.
"Alice, wake up, breakfast is on the table!" Back in his room, Carré knocked on the wooden bed, which was completely covered by an opaque gauze tent, and smiled.
Most of the scholars are night owls, and Alice is one of the best, and during the days she spent in the same room with Carré, she slept almost every night at one or two o'clock in the morning, and this was because of the company with others.
"Thank you, Lancelot." Alice's face was a little red, she yawned in the opaque gauze tent, looked sleepy, rubbed her face, and made herself look refreshed, Alice lifted the gauze tent and walked out, washed up, and sat down at the table to eat breakfast.
A beautiful woman with a good face, especially with a bookish temperament, eating breakfast in front of you is really a pleasing picture.
Waiting for Alice to finish her breakfast, Carré pulled out a piece of paper with a copy of the map he had stumbled upon in the Royal Prison with the Red Lotus Flame, after all, the original map was not ordinary at first glance.
"Alice, do you know where this is! This is the map I paid a lot of money for. Carré pointed to a place in the map and asked, the overall outline of the map could barely be seen to be in the Sahara Desert, but because the map was missing too much, Carré didn't know where the Red Lotus Demon Flame was in the Sahara Desert.
If you want to find the Red Lotus Demon Flame in the vast desert, it is no more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack, and Carré originally planned to go to Alia to ask a few more scholars, but he didn't expect that his companion was a scholar who studied the Sahara Desert very thoroughly.
Carré wasn't worried about what Alice would be able to see from the map, and he had deleted a lot of information from the rubbing, such as the pattern of the Red Lotus Flame.
"This map!" Alice walked up behind Carré, leaned down to look at the map, and raised her eyebrows, "The style of painting the map is a bit like the painting style of the orcs more than 10,000 years ago, but the mutilation is a bit serious. ”
Carré's heart picked, this Alice is really an expert, just seeing so much information at a glance, he has been getting the map for nearly a year, and he has not seen anything.
The map of the orcs more than 10,000 years ago, thinking of the migration of orcs for more than 10,000 years, Alice couldn't help but think a little more, but she didn't say anything, and carefully identified the place where Carré's finger was.
"This place should be the whirlpool sand area in the depths of the Sahara Desert, although the map of this place is seriously damaged, but you can see the spiral lines on the map, generally only the quicksand will be marked with spirals, although there are a lot of quicksand in the Sahara Desert, but the area with such a dense spiral line, there should only be the whirlpool sand area." Alice thought for a moment and said.
"Vortex Sand!" Carré was no stranger to this place, which was mentioned in almost every book about the Sahara Desert, and was one of the most dangerous forbidden places in the desert with swirling quicksands.
As long as you walk into the whirlpool sand area, except for the earth-level martial king and the heaven-level martial saint, you can fly in the sky, and ordinary martial artists, even golden martial artists, will be swallowed by the quicksand.
Kare's eyes were a little ugly, he didn't expect the Red Lotus Demon Flame to be in the Vortex Sand Zone, if it weren't for the earth-destroying power of magic in his mind, he would have wanted to go back immediately.
"This place is dangerous!" Alice tapped the map with her fingers, her voice a little serious.
"Don't worry, just ask, I won't go!" Carré laughed and asked Alice a few more places on the map.
With his chin in his palm on his hand, Carré looked at the backward scenery outside the window, his thoughts were a little disordered for a while, whether to go or not, Carré was a little hesitant in his heart, this is not a joke, the name of the forbidden land in the Sahara Desert is not a joke, and countless white bones can be buried under the word forbidden land.
"Carré, if it's just quicksand, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Vichy spoke up in her head.
"Now I have also accumulated a certain amount of energy, which can support external detection for a period of time, which can allow you to avoid quicksand areas."
Carré thought for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "Okay! ”
For having three spatial rings, especially one of the spatial crystals, the space is 100 cubic meters, water and food are not a big problem for him, and after solving the problem of quicksand, it is completely feasible to go to the whirlpool sand area.
At noon, with a long whistle, the train swayed and stopped in Aliya's railway station, Alia was really very remote, and then a few passengers got off the train and helped Alice carry her luggage to the waiting room, Carré said goodbye to Alice, carried her bag and walked out of the station.
