Chapter 161: Desert Nation (2)

Speaking of pain, but secondly, what Elle didn't expect was that the duck was so fast, she thought there was a cushion or something, but the sudden acceleration threw herself directly into the seat.

She was originally going to lie down, but she also had to sit up, in case she was not careful, who knows if she would fall out directly after a turn.

The distance to the capital is actually a bit far, but with the help of Karui ducks, it is only half a day, but the bumps in between, it is not so comfortable.

After all, for half a day, you stay in the carriage, which basically will not stop, after all, the road is more of a hot desert, unless you go to the oasis to rest a little, otherwise they will definitely not stop.

The two Karui ducks also had plenty of cans of drink on their bodies to keep them hydrated, after all, carrying an almost fully loaded wagon was a lot of work.

As the sun was about to set, Ellie noticed that the carriage had slowed down, so she poked her head out to observe the scenery outside.

They were close to the edge of the city, and in the distance, Ellie could see the magnificent palace. In any case, it looks very Byzantine, and as far as the eye can see, the royal palaces are almost all vaulted, and the commoners' houses are ordinary bungalows, but they are also distinctly desert style.

She hadn't observed it carefully in Antioch City back then, and now that she thinks about it, the buildings are somewhat similar, and she can't remember exactly what they were.

Karoo slowed down, for there were many people on the streets, and they were as lively and bustling as they were in the port; But when they saw the king's chariot, they all consciously gave way to it.

As the carriage passed, the crowd swept across the beach like waves, filling the vacated space as if nothing had happened, and they were still doing what they had just done.

"Sawen, how is Coco now?"

As soon as the carriage slowed down, Komak woke up from his sleep, took out his phone, and called his palace.

The phone bug simulated the other party's voice, sounding like a gentle woman, but there was still a little tiredness in the voice.

"Coco just fell asleep, and he had been having a fever before, and it took us a long time to get rid of it.

However, when Coco was sober, she kept talking about you. Are you back now? ”

"It's back...... It's just that something happened...

It's not good, though. Severe burns, I'm afraid I can't return to the original state.

What is it exactly...... It's not easy to tell you now, but when you see it, you will understand..."

The other party was silent, as if to stabilize his emotions, because the phone bug seemed to be biting his lip, and after a while, it relaxed and said to Komak.

"Alas... All right......

… But how do you want to explain to Coco? ”

This time, Komak was silent, and after a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh.

"I can't help it...... Sawen...

I'm worried about cocoa... She can't make it... In case of......

But I'm like this......

… What am I going to do? ”

He covered his forehead with one hand, his body sank a lot, and the other hand was like grasping a life-saving straw, holding the microphone, waiting for a reply from the other side.

A king who doesn't care at all about what he will be smeared into, but now anxiously awaits a daughter's most important acceptance of herself as a father.

The phone bug looked at Komak and pondered for a long time before stammering to the king.

“… Don't worry... There's always a solution...

I'll figure out how to say it with Coco... You...

… You... Let's come back and rest today... By the way, tell me what the hell is going on..."

After speaking, the other party paused before hanging up the phone.

“……”

Looking at the hung up phone bug, Komak retracted the small gadget, and then buried his face in his bandaged hands.

"Uncle?"

Hearing Erlie's question, he slowly raised his head, his abrupt eyes like a dead man, staring at the girl in front of him.

Erlie took a piece of candy that she didn't know where to get it and handed it to Komak.

This time, she didn't seem to be too scared, but rather worried.

"Give you sugar."

"What are you giving me this for?"

Comack, who was surprised in his heart, hesitated for a moment, but still took the other party's small candy. Fruit candy wrapped in simple white paper? He didn't know that he had never seen this kind of packaging.

"When I'm unhappy, my mother gives me one.

Look, uncle, you're not very happy, I'll learn from my mother. ”

Saying this, Erli felt a little "flesh pain": when she went back, she ate one less candy, and this candy was taken out of her pocket by pretending to be taken out, and there were not many things that could be put in the space, but the candy was inside.

This is the most suitable way I can think of, to be able not to make myself look so strangely mature, although the result is also a candy, the price is "very high".

Maybe if you go back to the demon world, you may be able to eat... But... It's rare after all, isn't it?

"Haha..."

Laughing lonely, Komak opened the simple package, which was a pale orange candy, not very large, with a very simple outer layer of sugar.

Without thinking too much, he put the small candy in his mouth and put the candy wrapper in his pocket.

"Thank you...... Feeling better. ”

"That's good~"

Seeing that he was a little more relaxed, Ellie sat back in her seat satisfied.

I can't say why I want to help him, if I have to say it, the king is in this state, and he feels a little embarrassed to stay inside, after all, he has to pretend that he doesn't understand anything.

After a while, the carriage came to a slow halt, and it seemed that it had reached its destination, and from the window there was an exquisite oasis garden, and a man-made fountain rarely found in the desert, and beyond it was a not-so-low wall, decorated with delicate wave patterns.

"Your Majesty, it's already here."

Hull knocked on the door first, and after getting a response from the other party, he opened the car door, and there was a woman opposite, with a good appearance, but she was wearing an ordinary white robe, and the tiredness in her eyes made her look a lot worse.

"Sawen ......"

“…… You look terrible..."

With a smile on her face, Sawen looked at the result of Komak's bandage, and she walked up to the other party, ready to remove the other party's bandages and check the injury.

At this moment, Hull had just asked the driver to take the wheelchair off and put it at the door, while Erlie was taken off by Hull and the driver.

“…… Who's that? And it's like cocoa..."

Sawin was taken aback, but she knew that Komak wasn't going to bring her back because of that alone.

"A girl who could be dangerous to the government... It's some other non-human creature..."

The first sentence is quite loud, and the latter sentence is deliberately lowered as if someone will hear it.
