Chapter Seventy-Three: The Legend of Shurima
Since the ship was its own, there were only three people on the whole ship, except for the sailors who drove the boat, so it was also clean all the way, and in the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed, and on the third morning, the ship finally arrived at the coast, and Shurima arrived.
Unlike most seaports, the harbor they berthed in was obviously much more dilapidated, unusually dilapidated and desolate, but at the moment this dilapidated harbor was full of large and small ships, dilapidated and prosperous were full of contradictions with each other.
Zhao Xiaopang understands the source of this contradiction, so many ships are definitely not merchant ships, the people on board should all come for Shurima Crystal, this is just one of the ports, I believe that other ports are also very different, it is conceivable that the birth of Shurima Crystal this time has attracted I don't know how many forces to come, and the bloody storm is inevitable.
Zhao Xiaopang took Rui Wen and the one-eyed dragon off the ship, only to see that the dilapidated port was full of shouts and crowds.
There are many hawkers shouting and selling things in the crowd, and there are also many street stalls on the roadside.
"Take a walk and take a look, the antelope leather coat, ten gold coins a piece, a must-have for wind and sand! After this village, there will be no such shop! ”
"Fresh 'scorching gourd', buy one and try it, it's sweet to quench your thirst, and it's better to bring one than a bag of water."
"Realgar wine, realgar wine, take a sip, snakes, insects, rats and ants are all gone!"
"Shurima cherishes the cheats, two gold coins a copy."
Most of the things sold by hawkers and stalls are some items and foods that are more commonly used in the desert, Zhao Xiaopang did not hesitate, bought a lot of things, anyway, it does not occupy an area, just throw it into the fresh-keeping refrigerator, although these hawkers must have temporarily increased the price, these things are definitely not worth the price in normal times, but Zhao Xiaopang has no time to bargain here.
After a big purchase, the three of them went directly on the road, crossed the harbor and walked towards the depths of Rurima, but not on foot, Zhao Xiaopang also bought three camels, the best means of transportation in the desert is naturally camels, tall, amazing endurance, the most important thing is that the soles of camels are relatively large, walking in the desert is not easy to fall into the quicksand, very safe, and the camel's water retention performance is excellent, in the harsh desert, camels are well-deserved athletes.
Camels are different from horses, and most camels are relatively docile, especially this kind of camels that have been domesticated and sold as mounts, which are even more docile. Therefore, although Zhao Xiaopang has no experience in horseback riding, it is not difficult to ride a camel, and it is easy to control.
So the three of them rode a camel and went to the depths of Shurima.
Zhao Xiaopang was idle, and tied his camel to the one-eyed dragon with a rope, saving a lot of effort.
However, Zhao Xiaopang was not idle, and he was gnawing there with the 'Shurima Cheats' that he had just bought for a full ten gold coins. This cheats is not really a rare cheats but some copies.,It's some about the distribution of Shurima's forces, etc.,It's also very thoughtful to attach a map of Shurima.,But the information in the map is very limited.,The deeper you go to the map, the fewer the markups.,In the end, it's a blank.。
This cheats book tells the most about the introduction of Shurima.
Thousands of years ago, Shurima was originally the most vast and powerful country on the Valoran continent, and even the current Noxus is incomparable, Shurima's powerful sources are many, the most famous is the 'Ascender' In rumors, Shurima's 'Ascendant' is already close to a god-like existence, mysterious and powerful. Shurima is a monarchy, in Shurima Emperor is the supreme power, Shurima's last emperor is called Azir, he is the greatest emperor of Shurima, and he is also the emperor of Shurima's country.
As for the reason for Shurima's demise, no one knows so far, a thousand years ago a tremor spread throughout the Valoran continent, the epicenter was Shurima, and then when people came to Shurima again, they found that Shurima had been destroyed, the entire Shurima was covered by yellow sand, and the rich mountains and rivers became a desert overnight. The once-mighty Shurima Empire is gone. No one knows about Shurima's demise, most of them are speculations, some say that it was the civil war of the Ascended that caused Shurima's demise, and others say that Shurima was so arrogant that caused the wrath of the gods, so he sent a divine punishment to destroy Shurima.
There are different opinions but no accurate answer, most of them are just speculations, basically not credible, and the reason for Shurima's real demise is still a mystery.
But Shurima is real, even now. Beneath the yellow sand lies the once-prosperous kingdom of Shurima, and there are endless treasures hidden inside.
As a result, the desert has been a haven for tomb robbers and explorers for many years, and there are also many mercenary groups and thieves stationed here.
To put it simply, Shurima now lurks all kinds of dangers, not only from the desert itself but also from all kinds of outlaws, and the danger here is even greater than that of Bilgewater.
As time passed, the three of them gradually deepened, the original green scenery gradually disappeared, the vegetation on the ground began to decrease, and by the time they turned back and could not see the coast at all, they were already in a desert again.
The fertile soil is gone, replaced by patches of sand and sparse bushes. It smells of desolation.
In fact, this place is not far from the coastline, and it stands to reason that this place should not be so desolate, and this land is like a curse, which is unreasonable.
According to the instructions on the map, the three of them traveled all the way west, wading through one sand dune after another, it was noon, the sun was in the sky, even sitting on the back of a camel was like being in an oven, the heat was extremely hot, and the heat wave rolled so that the vision began to be distorted in a trance.
Rui Wen and the one-eyed dragon are nothing, at most they are sweating on their foreheads.
But Zhao Xiaopang is miserable, he is an out-and-out fat man, what is the fat man most afraid of? Of course I'm afraid of the heat! It's terrible when it heats up. With the sun blazing cloudless, the air dry and the heat rolling in, there is nothing hotter than the desert.
So it didn't take long for Zhao Xiaopang to sweat like rain, and his entire back was soaked with sweat, crying out.
However, they couldn't stop moving forward, because they were not far from the first supply point, to be precise, the place where they were now was still outside Shurima, the environment was not too bad, and these places were still inhabited. It didn't take long for a building in the distance to appear in the field, and under the cover of the heat wave, I couldn't see the specific face clearly.
As the three of them walked forward, the complex's appearance was soon revealed.
It is actually a small city, most of the buildings are short and simple, most of them are made of sand and stone, and there is a city wall on the edge of the small city, but the city wall is not high, at most the height of two adult men, probably not used to guard against people, it should be to guard against some wild beasts and other harassments.
The three of them entered the city without hindrance, and the interior of the town had a completely different flavor from the desolate exterior, and the streets were full of people shuttling and selling. There is a strong scenery of the Western Regions everywhere, first of all, the people here are dressed in the same way as the outside world, most of them are veiled and turbaned, and their complexion is dark.
Zhao Xiaopang had a feeling, like ...... Came to India!!
