The tattoo on Ian's arm was tattooed during the time of Salamis, and the pattern of the tattoo is naturally the banner of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

But to be honest, with the news that Ian has become the Seven Martial Seas, there may be many people who know Ian, but not many people who have seen the logo of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

Obviously, this man wearing a turban is the one who has seen the logo of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

However, after he recognized the tattoo on Ian's arm, he immediately lowered his head, drank the water in front of him, and stopped looking at Ian's face.

After Ian drank a hearty meal, he couldn't help but gasp for a sigh and put the empty barrel on the counter.

After calling the restaurateur, Ian asked him, "Where is this?" ”

The restaurateur glanced at Ian a little strangely and said, "This is Rape Flower City!" Port city in Alabastan. ”

"Oh, which way to go to the capital of Alabastan?" Ian continued, "How long will it take?" ”

"Guest, are you talking about the capital city of Albana?" The restaurateur said, "Just go all the way east from here, and as for how many days, it depends on what kind of transport you take!" ”

Ian slapped his head, yes, Alabastan is a desert kingdom, traveling through this country is no better than other places, if you rely on your own No. 11 bus, walking in the desert will kill people.

So Ian asked him, "Where are the camels for sale?" ”

In the desert, the most common means of transportation are camels, and the first thing that comes to Ian's mind is them.

"Go out and turn right, keep going straight ahead, and there's a market where you can get the camels you want!" The restaurateur replied.

Ian nodded, and bought five more buckets of drinking water from the restaurant owner, however, when it came time to check out, the price quoted by the restaurant owner startled Ian.

"A total of six buckets of water, a total of 900,000 Bailey!"

"! Why don't you grab it! Ian's eyes almost popped out when he heard the price.

As a result, the restaurant owner said with a wry smile: "Guest, you may not know that Alabastan has suffered a severe drought in the past two years, and there has not been much rain, so the price of drinking water has been soaring over the years. ”

When the restaurateur said this, Ian reacted, yes, drinking water in desert countries is already expensive, not to mention that Alabastan has not had rain for two consecutive years.

And if I am not mistaken, such a drought will continue for another year...... Because this drought is what Crocokdal did!

Shaking his head, although his flesh hurt, Ian could only pay according to the price, and then walked out of the restaurant with five buckets of water piled up.

When Ian walked out of the restaurant, the man with the turban settled the bill unhurriedly and followed him out of the restaurant.

The man with the turban walked out of the restaurant, came to a secluded street, looked left and right, and confirmed that there was no one, then took out a telephone bug from his pocket, and took out a small white anti-eavesdropping phone bug and put it next to him, and then began to make calls.

Squeak, the phone was quickly connected, and the turban man immediately said to the phone: "I'm Barney, currently located at the port of Rape Flower City, the following is my report: I just encountered the new Seven Martial Seas member 'Black Dragon' Ian in a restaurant here!" He seems to have just landed in Alabastan, and the purpose is unknown! Please report it immediately and please instruct the action! ”

As the man named Barney finished reporting, the phone bug fell into silence for a while, and after a long while, a voice suddenly came: "Well done Barney, please follow the 'Black Dragon' Ian immediately and report its location at any time, the Chief of Staff has rushed towards your city!" He'll get back to you then! ”

"Yes!" Barney was startled, but quickly responded.

Then, he tightened his bandana and clothes and chased in the direction Ian had left......

Ian had already found a place to sell camels, and he was choosing his own means of transportation, and under the enthusiastic introduction of the camel seller, Ian picked a camel that looked sturdy, and he turned over and jumped on the back of the camel, and tried to ride it.

To be honest, Ian rode a camel for the first time, and he always felt that it was very novel, but fortunately, these camels were trained and had a very docile temperament, and after a little practice, Ian gradually mastered the essentials.

So, he headed east towards the map of Alabastan, which he had bought by the way.

After having a camel, the drinking water he bought was not carried by Ian, but tied to the camel's back, because the sun in the desert was very hot, Ian also bought a set of desert clothes, which is the kind that can wrap himself tightly to protect himself from the wind and sand.

Wobbling on the road, Ian didn't realize that behind him, a tail was far behind.

Moreover, the road that Ian took was the main road to Albana, and along the way, Ian still had a lot of traveling companions, and there was even a caravan of dozens of people walking in front of Ian, so Ian didn't notice that someone was following him.

The sun in the desert is really powerful, and the dry environment can easily make people feel thirsty, Ian is also walking in the desert for the first time, so he made a common mistake that many people make, that is, he didn't cherish drinking water much!

After only a day of walking, Ian had drunk two buckets of water, and when he asked the others on the same road, he found that he probably didn't have enough water left!

It would take at least four days to reach the next city in Alabastan at this rate, and Ian was left with only three buckets of water.

Ian caught up with the caravan in front of him and wanted to buy some more water from them, but he didn't expect the caravan to be sold!

These merchants know very well that no one knows what kind of situation they will encounter in the desert, so the drinking water they keep is the guarantee of their lives, and even if they have more money, they will not easily sell the water in their hands.

Although Ian is a pirate, he can't do such a thing as robbery, so he can only return in a huff.

If you can't buy it, you can't buy it, just save a little bit and drink it yourself.

It's just that what makes Ian a little unhappy is that some of the people in the caravan are actually laughing at him!

Even if Ian didn't hear what they said, they would frequently turn their heads to look at Ian with a playful look on their faces, so that Ian would know what they were talking about, no matter how stupid they were.

Nima's! Even if Lao Tzu is a rookie and doesn't know the rules in the desert, can you laugh at me like this?

Therefore, when he saw someone looking back at him again, Ian glared back fiercely, but the appearance of him now wrapped in a turban was really not fierce, so the people in the caravan in front were not afraid of him at all, and they were still laughing.

Day! Out of sight and out of mind, Ian simply lagged behind and no longer followed the caravan.

Some people may say, dare to laugh at Lao Tzu? Rush up and kill them and snatch the water!

Don't be funny, killing the whole family if you don't agree with each other, that's something that only a madman can do, right? Ian doesn't have a problem with his braincase, so he can't be so extreme.

In this way, after a day of travel, the night began to get dark.

The desert during the day, the temperature is frighteningly high, but the desert at night, the temperature is so low that people want to scold their mother, Ian is very glad that he bought a desert costume, otherwise, it is really difficult to deal with such a temperature difference.

In the distance, Ian saw the caravan in front of him encamped, they lit a bonfire, ate food by the fire, and a circle of camels fell to their knees and formed a circle to resist the wind and sand.

Seeing this scene, Ian did the same, resting on his camel.

The camel that Ian bought, although it looks quite robust, has a peculiar feature, that is, it often makes "beep!" from its mouth. Beep! The reason is that the camel lost a tooth, and when it gasped, air leaked between the teeth, so it made such a sound.

So Ian simply gave the camel the name "BB!" ”

BB's body is very warm, and Ian leans on it at night to make do with the night, of course, in order not to be buried by the wind and sand in the middle of the night, Ian's choice of perch is naturally the same as the high place of the dunes.

However, in the middle of the night, Ian was awakened by a high-pitched scream, and he immediately stood up alertly, looked around, and then realized that it was the caravan in front of him who made the scream!

Their camp, not far ahead, Ian was condescending, and their camp could also be seen, but at this time, in the caravan camp, under the reflection of the campfire, Ian found that they seemed to have been robbed!

There are not only pirates on the sea, but also bandits in the mountains, and similarly, in this desert, there is also a profession called desert bandits!

Obviously, this caravan encountered desert bandits.

It was a little far away, and Ian didn't see it too clearly, but he saw a group of veiled people in the caravan camp, wielding large knives, wantonly slashing and slashing in the middle of it, and from time to time there were screams coming from that side.

Ian watched, but didn't move, he was a good person, but he wasn't a bad good person, so he didn't think about saving this caravan at all.

This is not only because of the ridicule of the guys during the day, but also because he knows very well that this is a law in the desert, don't look at the caravan in front of him, but in fact, this kind of caravan may also become the same desert bandit in the blink of an eye!

Yes, this is the same as the pirates at sea, when you are fine, you can run a business to make money, but when you meet a lone person and feel that it is profitable, you will immediately change your role.

Because the desert is the same as the sea, if you kill people and bury them in the sand, you will bury all traces, and such a low-cost crime will inevitably occur.

Ian looked coldly at what was happening in the camp ahead and didn't bother much.

It's just that when the desert robbers ransacked the camp and began to flee, they came in his direction.

So Ian rubbed his hands.

Great, my drinking water has fallen!
