Two months earlier, Yazark and his caravan had returned to the arid and inhospitable desert of Salaam, ready to return to his homeland, an oasis built in the desert.

He never imagined that this trip would last five years, and that his child Aaron would be eleven years old.

Originally, he thought of leaving the ...... for two or three years at most However, the caravan traveled far, far away, and although they had been trying to find some time to send Yitzhak back, their itinerary could not be easily changed. Jonad, the head of the merchant group, had promised Yitzhak's family that he would be returned safely within three years.

They needed to stay in that city for a month because there was something wrong with the supplier's order that delayed the shipment for a month.

It was impossible to return to Salam for a month.

With their current position, it used to take at least a month and a half to use a guided transport vehicle, and it would take three months to make a round trip.

Jonad's original plan did set aside more than three months to send Yitzhak back.

But...... It can only be said that the world is unpredictable! Plans can never catch up with change.

No one expected that the transaction that had been on time and punctual would go wrong at the last time.

The orders are all old businesses that have been taken over a long time ago, this is the last journey of their business group, it can be said to be a farewell journey, they will go to say hello to those who have been working with them for a long time, tell them that this is the last cooperation between them, if they can, they can continue to cooperate with the successor of Jonad's business group.

A guy in his early thirties who was temporarily added to Jonad's merchant group was the merchant who the Chamber of Commerce had hired to take over the trading itinerary established by Jonad, Kurabic.

He is very kind and polite, and in terms of dealing with people, he really looks like a successful businessman, after all, the most important communication language of a businessman is to smile. Moreover, he is very easy for anyone to get along with, and he also has a lot of respect for the members of the merchant group who are about to retire. As a newcomer, after this farewell trip, he will take his own business group on a long business trip. The old merchants were very fond of the young man who had taken over their work, and if it weren't for that, the Chamber of Commerce would not have let him do this alternate job and appointed him as the next head of the trade group.

This time for the business trip, Jonad, in addition to completing the last transaction, is more about completing the alternate work, so that those who buy and sell the partners get acquainted with this Kurabic.

Kurabic mainly writes down the itinerary while learning some lessons from Jonad. It's kind of an intern head of the business group.

Some orders are made every few months, some are once a year, and some are biennial......

The plans are all in full swing.

In the early days, traveling merchants will go around looking for business opportunities because they have no trading channels, but once they become a business group, they will plan their itinerary and only go to those places they may not have been to look for business opportunities in their spare time, which can maximize the benefits.

For these trade groups or those wandering merchants who work alone, time is money, as a business group with decades of experience and accumulation, Jonad's business group route, the whole process is five years, and some of the suppliers may visit several times a year. After all, when they arrived at a kingdom's city, they would stay there for a considerable amount of time, going back and forth to two or three neighboring cities to reload goods.

Because of the cancellation of deals with herders on the edge of the Salaam Desert, they have a half-month blank time every six months. This was the time when they took a guided airship from the city of Kalmat in the Kingdom of Salad to the neighboring kingdom of Radigu and then went to the edge of the desert.

However, this blank period, after they reported to the Chamber of Commerce, has also been filled by the Chamber of Commerce's strong business network.

So......

It's nerve-wracking to find time to send Yazark back.

Unless they split into two teams and send someone to send Yazark back, this caravan only has two guide transporters in total, and without one, the transportation of goods cannot be completed.

In order not to become a burden to the entire merchant group, Yazark also asked the head of the group, Jonad, not to care about himself...... He explained to his wife and children when he came out, so he didn't have to worry about him......

In fact, since he moved with this caravan, Yazark very much wanted to be able to go to those farther places to see and meet different people and things. It's just that if he doesn't go back, his family will worry about him. He even thought about learning more business skills from these businessmen, and then take his family to live in the outside world in the future.

Because of their similar age, Yazark and Kurabic are very compatible. Kurabic also learned about Yazark from the old men of the merchants. During an accident during a trip to a merchant group, Kurabic was rescued by Yazark, and the two developed a very deep friendship. Kurabic even invited Yazark to join his caravan.

Yazark saw a lot of things in the outside world that he had never seen before, things that were so full of dreams that he couldn't even think of before.

It was even the first time he had heard of an island of levitation that floated forever in the air.

Human technology has reached such a point......

This is something that was done hundreds of years ago.

Living in the desert, they don't know anything.

And those flying machines.

The speed of flight even exceeds the speed of sound.

What does the speed of sound mean, the people of the merchant group told Yazark with a simple and straightforward explanation.

The fastest speed of an average human is 10.4384 meters, and the speed of sound is about thirty-four times faster than the average human running speed.

Flying machines are better and faster than the speed of sound...... Some are even capable of reaching five times the speed of sound.

There is also a name called God's Wings, which even reaches Mach 10, which is ten times the speed of sound......

For Yazark, the outside world is like a curious paradise full of unknowns, so that he lives in a dream every day, and even goes so far as to say that the oasis, the paradise he knew, was actually nothing. There is nothing there...... Of course, even so, it was the place where Yazark wanted to go back, and his family was still there waiting for him, even if he had seen the bustling world outside and felt that the barren desert was not very good, at least it was his home and there was a family.

But he already had the idea of taking his family into the outside world......

His thoughts gradually changed, and now he felt that it would be nice if his wife and children had a communicator, and he could contact them, at least to report their safety, so that they would not worry about what had happened to him. As a life-saving gesture, Kulabic bought Yazark a communicator.

Although it is a low-level communicator, the function is relatively pure, and it can only be used for communication, watching some news, listening to songs, and watching live broadcasts...... Something like that. Yazark was already satisfied. He seemed to have seen a new continent in that old-fashioned communicator with relatively limited functions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he couldn't put it down.

There is no point in saying any more.

He accompanied the caravan for the last five years of the caravan, and after the leader of the caravan group, Jonad, and others sent Yazark back to the oasis, he would also return to his hometown, the Kingdom of Alicia, to open a small merchandise store to spend his old age. The merchant group will be disbanded, and the partners of the merchant group will go their separate ways. Only Kurabic would take his caravan on a fantastical journey for Yazark.

Taking the miracle of the Salaam Desert, that oasis, as the end of a business trip is not the perfect end for this business group.

In the past few years, Yazark has changed a lot, and the bleak scene from the Magnus Mountains is less shocking than it was at the beginning. Just looking at those white bones, Yazark knew a lot from them. During these years, his favorite thing to do was to read books, all kinds of books, whether it was cooking, storybooks, even astronomy and geography, and even biology books.

Judging from his appearance, his skin has also turned white in the past few years, and he has become a little delicate, and it is difficult for even an observant person to guess whether he is twenty or thirty years old. In fact, he was already the father of an eleven-year-old child. But it's not very old, only twenty-eight years old. Herdsmen living in the desert still marry and have children relatively early, but Yazak is already considered late, becoming a father at the age of seventeen.

After crossing the Magna Mountains and entering the Salaam Desert, he sat on a pilot transport vehicle and headed for three days towards the junction of the Ceras River and the Salaam Desert.

His homeland, that desert oasis, was there!

It's been five years, and I'm finally back.

This time, two transports were loaded with supplies.

There are so many books out there that herders living in the desert may not be as lucky as they are to go out into the world. But Yazark wanted them to feel the beauty of the outside world from books.

These books are carefully selected by Yazark, and there are all kinds of books, which definitely satisfy the needs of most people. He also secretly bought a few books of lust and wanted to bring the eight treasures of the patriarch among the herdsmen. These are all things that Yazark has earned during these five years with the merchant group. He bought everything with nothing left, and the money should be of no use to him...... Because his trip has also ended.

If you don't have a tool like a guide truck, if you want to get out of that desert and go to a place where people live, you may not be able to get to the ...... in a few years So when these merchants are gone, Yazark will never be able to get out of the desert again.

Fortunately, he had figured it out. On the way home, he thought a lot, no matter how colorful the outside world was, it still couldn't compare to his home. The closer he got to that oasis, the more he felt that way.

That desert oasis had his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for five years, as well as the people of his people, whom Yazark missed so much that he never wanted to return to them.

Jonad looked at the coordinates displayed on the communicator and told Yazark that it would take half a day to get there.

Yazark couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and looked into the distance on the guide transporter—the direction of home.

However, an unexpected accident occurred.

Through the binoculars on the transporter, Yazark saw a very familiar figure in the desert.

"Is that man ......?"

Yazark immediately shouted to Jonad, who was driving the guide transporter, "Commander, there is someone over there, it seems to be my clansman...... Let's hurry over. ”

Jonad informed his companion who was following him, and drove up to a halt in front of the man.

Immediately the people got out of the car and came to this man.

Not only did Yazark recognize him, but even the rest of the merchant group recognized him at a glance.

This man is the patriarch of the herdsmen, Babao!

His face was emaciated, thin, and his brown skin was like a sheepskin tightly wrapped around a handful of protruding bones. His long brown hair was already gray, and his deep-set eyes stared at the people who walked up to him. The flesh on his body felt like there was a lot more flesh than a skeleton. When he stands, he has to barely support himself with a wooden stick. However, his tall figure and burly physique showed that he was a very strong man at the beginning. But his slenderness and the large pockets of his clothes over his bony limbs made him look old. This man was dying because of hunger and thirst. Beside him was a dead and half-eaten water nug.

He had endured pain, and with little hope, he had trudged through the desert in the hope of discovering a drop of water. However, walking in the scorching desert heat, just doing nothing consumes the water in the body.

In the desert, the human body needs far more water than anywhere else.

It would be nice if there was a shady place to shelter from.

But there was not even shelter from the direct sunlight, only an endless desert scorched by flames. In such an environment, the water lost by the human body may not have water to drink for half a day, and people will go insane, coma or even die.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a water nun by his side, he would have died long ago.

Even the water nun that could fill its body with water just by breathing could not meet the needs of the Eight Treasure Patriarch.

And the way he looks, God knows if he'll last a few weeks or months.

"Patriarch, water." Yazark knew what Babo needed urgently, so he brought a bottle of water with him when he got off the transporter.

Babao was obviously speechless anymore, as if he was stupid, and stood there unconsciously and did not move.

If Yitzhak and the others had come a few minutes late, the Eight Treasures Patriarch might have GG Smecta.

Yitzhak opened the cap of the bottle and poured it little by little on his chapped and shapeless lips and into his mouth......

However, an ominous premonition crept through Yazark's mind.
