When I was wandering through the forum, I suddenly learned the news of the death of the author's thief and three idiots, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking that I had been chasing him back then...... In order to prevent readers from thinking that this author has passed away, I am so frightened that I hastened to update

――

The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the heat wave is rolling.

The endless desert is full of desolation and dead silence, the scorching sun bakes on the earth and reflects hazy distorted light and shadow, I don't know how long time has passed, the alternation of day and night is blurred in memory, and the numb spirit makes the body like an empty shell, and the walking dead soar high in the sky with the vultures.

Where are the remnant villages and towns?

The confusion in his heart constantly tormented Xia Lan's nerves, and sometimes even made him wonder if there were any remnants of Salanya in this world.

They had been in the air for at least a week since they left the oasis, and if the Saranya Desert was vast, they would continue to fly without gain, and sooner or later they would fly out of the desert, and once they lost this excellent place of cover, they could imagine the danger they would face.

Not to mention the layers of containment of the "Radiant Sanctuary", the Danny Otchen around him alone was enough to pose a huge threat to him, and if it wasn't for the situation, he would never have agreed to the other party to join the team.

"Charan Charan! Look! Oasis! Cun!! ”

At this time, Adelina who was tightly wrapped around Xia Lan's waist with both hands suddenly screamed, and his head cleared in a state of distraction, and his eyes instantly fell on the desert surface.

In the distance, a sparkling blue lake can be faintly seen in the field of vision. Layers of verdant forests surround a village and town made up of a large number of loess houses in an elliptical shape. The staggered layout gives off a different desert feel.

You can't go wrong! This must be the village of the remnants of Salania that he has been looking for for a long time!

There was a hint of excitement in my heart. Without saying a word, Xia Lan drove the vulture and swooped down directly, and Daniochen, who was always keeping an eye on his movements, immediately followed, and his cold eyes couldn't help but show a faint surprise, because he never thought that there would be a village and town in the deepest part of the Saranya Desert.

Woo -

However, before Xia Lan and them landed, a long and majestic horn suddenly echoed in the sky, and countless black dots appeared in the houses below the village and town, and hurriedly gathered together, and after a while, an orderly queue was formed, like a military formation waiting on the battlefield.

"It seems that some people don't welcome us."

The vultures fluttered their wings and landed on the wide road of the yellow stone slabs in the village. The rolling yellow sand was flying, and Xia Lan turned over and fell to the ground, looking at the black tide in front of her slowly surrounding them with a slightly solemn face.

The so-called Kuroshio is actually a group of men, women, and children dressed in black robes, each of whom has a strong sense of vigilance and murder on their faces, and holds a variety of instruments in their hands, among which improvised weapons such as hoes, kitchen knives, and clubs account for most of them, and only a few people are holding scimitars and long swords, and the attitude of the other party can be easily seen in this scene alone.

Danny Olchen silently walked behind Adelina and glanced at the other side and was no longer interested, all he cared about was Adelinea's well-being. The ants on the other side were not worth mentioning at all, and perhaps the only thing that could interest him was the origin of the village.

"Outsiders! You are not welcome here! ”

At this time. A burly middle-aged man walked out of the crowd opposite, his dark face was full of fortitude, and he opened his mouth to shout a series of babbling words, even Adelina and the three of them, who did not understand the language of the remnants of Salania, could roughly understand the expulsion intention expressed by the other party.

"Are you an elder here?"

When Xia Lan responded in the same language as a swarthy man, Adelina and the others immediately cast an incredible look at him.

"You know our language!?"

It wasn't just Adelina who was stunned, but the swarthy men too.

"Although Sarania has long been submerged in history, a part of Saranya's civilization is forever recorded in historical documents, so it is not difficult for me to be able to understand your language." Xia Lan replied calmly.

"Do you know where we came from?!" The swarthy man subconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife.

"Of course, why would I be here?" Xia Lan said lightly. "And please rest assured, I have no ill will towards you, let alone any ill will."

"Outsider, what is the purpose of your visit?" The swarthy man said in a deep voice.

"I need to go to your holy land." Charland Road. "But I'm missing a guide."

"Holy Land?!" The swarthy man's face changed. "Impossible! We will not tell you the whereabouts of these outsiders! ”

"What if I had a way to open your holy place?" Xia Lan smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"You ......"

The swarthy man looked at Xia Lan in disbelief, as if he had heard something extremely shocking.

"Outsiders! Who are you? ”

"An adventurer, of course, sometimes I also work part-time as a scholar." Charland Road.

"The stakes are high, and I beg your pardon for not being able to make a decision! I will not be able to reply to you until I report to the Great Elder. The swarthy man's face was cloudy for a long time.

"Yes! It's just that my time is very valuable and I need to know how long it will take for you to get back to me. "Charland.

"Three days at least." The swarthy man said.

"I'm sorry, I can't wait so long!" Xia Lan shook her head, then stretched out a finger and said, "One day, this is the maximum time I can give you." ”

"Impossible! It would take a day to get back and forth from here to the Great Elder! The swarthy man said flatly.

"Huh! I know that you Sarania have a special contact method, and I'm afraid it won't take you half a day to pass on the news from here to the Great Elder. Xia Lan said with a smile.

"Looks like you know a lot about us." The swarthy man's face sank.

"If you want to gain the trust of others, you must inevitably come up with some weights that the other party deserves to be valued." Xia Lan smiled.

"Outsiders! I allow you to stay here for a short time, if I let me know that you have hurt our people. I will never let you go! The swarthy man said.

"That's reassuring. As long as no one provokes us first. We don't break the rules here. Xia Lan nodded.

……

……

"Xia Lan, what were you talking about? And why do you understand their language? What is the origin of the villagers here? ”

In a simple mud house vacated by the villagers, Adelina who had just settled down could no longer suppress her curiosity and couldn't wait to ask Xia Lan.

"Where are we under our feet?" Xia Lan casually observed the structural layout in the earthen house, and said casually.

"O Salania Desert!" Adelina was confused.

"Then why is the Salanya Desert called the Salanya Desert?" Charland Road.

"Because...... Oh! I know! Adelina just wanted to answer, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, and she seemed to understand the question raised by Xia Lan at once, and then she was stunned and stammered, "You mean...... The villages and villagers here are all vanished Sarannians? ”

"Correct." Xia Lan snapped her fingers and smiled at her and nodded.

"It's just...... It's just that...... Sarania has been buried in the desert since the distant era of hegemony, and it has been tens of thousands of years since then, how did the Saranians survive until now?! Even if his guess was confirmed from Xia Lan's mouth. But Adelina was still in disbelief.

"As long as the flame of civilization is not extinguished, civilization can continue." Xia Lan picked up a crude pottery placed in the room and said, "It's a pity that the glorious civilization of Sarania can't withstand the ruthless waste of time and has gone into serious regression, and Elderland's history is not like this. ”

"I wonder why, for so many eras after the Age of Hegemony, the Saranians have never heard of them, and why have they remained in the depths of this desert?" Sitting on a wooden chair and drinking water to quench her thirst, Winnie put down the kettle she was carrying, and seemed to have regained a little vitality.

In fact, there are few historical documents of the Silver Age that record the news of the Saranians, at that time the Salanians often dealt with adventurers who came to pan for gold, and after the Age of Natural Disasters, the Saranians were completely cut off from the outside world, and the historical documents about the Saranians disappeared in that chaotic era. So it's normal for people today not to know about the existence of the Saranians. Xia Lan patiently explained. As for why the people of Saranya would not leave the desert, because they had been guarding the sacred places of Sarannia. Waiting for the day when the Holy Land will be opened. ”

"Holy Land? What is that? Adelina asked.

"Perrains, the former capital of Sarannia, it is said that on the eve of the destruction of Sarannia, the royal family of Sarania buried countless treasures and knowledge inheritance in a mysterious place in Sarannia, waiting for the descendants of Sarania to dig out this wealth and knowledge in the future, and restart the glory of Sarannia!" Xia Lan said lightly: "It's a pity that all the people who know the location of the treasure of the Holy Land and the method of opening it are dead, and the people of Saranya have stayed in the desert all these years to protect and find this treasure." ”

"Do you know where the treasure of Sarania is located and how to open it?" Danny Ochen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Of course, otherwise do you think I'm here just to escape the Radiant Sanctuary?" Xia Lan glanced at him and said.

"You want to use the treasure in exchange for the help of the Salanians against the Radiant Sanctuary?" Denny Ochen said.

"Although the civilization of the Sarannian people has seriously regressed, the cultivation inheritance has been passed down in its entirety, and the elders who rule the Sarannian people are still strong enough to step into the realm of law, even if their strength is not good." Charland Road.

"What you do will bring destruction to the people of Sarania." Danny Orchen said indifferently.

"It's just an equivalent exchange." Xia Lan didn't care.

"I have one last question." Danny Ochen stared at Xia Lan and said, "Why do you know this? ”

"Because, I know everything about this world." (To be continued......)
