Chapter 8: Ikalem Appears!

Soon, the large wooden barrel was filled with pure water.

The people in the caravan thanked Shen Ming one after another, and the leader was even more anxious to open the small wooden bottle he was carrying, scooped up the water in the big wooden barrel, and then sent it to the woman lying on the camel's back in a hurry, and said happily: "Great! We are saved! ”

After the woman drank the water weakly, her wrinkled mouth finally stretched a little, and she said to Shen Ming with a smile: "Thank you so much!" ”

Shen Ming nodded noncommittally, returned to Kalu Duck's back, and walked away.

Looking at the back of Shen Ming's departure, this group of desert travelers heard a sentence from afar: "The king is not the cause of the drought, all this is a conspiracy planned by someone with a heart." I'm a prince, and I'm here to dismantle the conspiracy of those careerists! ”

The group of travelers was in deep shock.

"He's a prince?"

"We were scolding the king in front of him."

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really magnanimous for not bothering with us, and he gave us such a big bucket of water regardless of his previous suspicions."

The leader watched Shen Ming and his party go away respectfully, and said to the travelers beside him: "We must remember what happened today, the prince saved our lives!" When we go to business, we must tell people along the way about this! ”

……

The dry and hot wind was rolling, and after a night and a half-day journey, Shen Ming and the three of them finally saw a complex of buildings located in the desert from a distance.

Coastal cities can still sustain their daily water needs through distillation, but inland cities like Aruma are severely starved.

They have to save water every day, and all water except for drinking water must be recycled and reused. Even so, they needed caravans to constantly bring distilled water from the coastal cities to meet their daily survival needs.

After entering Aruma, unlike the Rape Flower Market, the city was in a state of decay and despair.

The road is deserted, and no one wants to sweat and waste precious water resources when the sun is on.

"MR.2 wouldn't be in this place, would he?" Shen Ming frowned.

Eruma is so deserted, even if MR.2 transforms into a king, it will be difficult to have any discrediting effect.

Just when Shen Ming was puzzled, a tall and majestic man wearing a dark blue suit and white curly hair with a peculiar shawl suddenly burst out from the side of the road and blocked Shen Ming.

He whispered, "Your Royal Highness! I've finally found you, it's dangerous here! Let's talk in a different place! ”

When Shen Ming saw his strange shawl white curly hair, he recognized his identity: Ikalem, the captain of the kingdom guard, who had infiltrated the Baroque studio for many years, codenamed MR.8!

Ikalem took Shen Ming and the three of them to the alley between the two houses, and breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Royal Highness, after hearing that you were captured by the rebels, I searched everywhere, and now I finally found you." Do you know that His Royal Highness and Princess Vivi are worried about you! ”

Shen Ming was very impressed by Ikalem, a very distinctive supporting character in the Alabastan chapter, and after seeing him at this moment, he felt a sense of intimacy for no reason, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"MR.2 is disguised as a king in the middle of the street, discrediting the image of the king in order to incite civilian rebellion." Ikalem said bitterly: "It's a pity that my strength is too poor to defeat him, so I can only let him do evil there!" ”

Immediately afterward, Ikalem changed his tone and said, "MR.2 is the second strongest senior agent in the Baroque studio, and even I am no match for him. If he is in the four seas outside the great voyage, he can even become a sea thief who dominates the four seas! ”

"He's very strong, it's not something we can deal with, I'll escort you back to the palace now." Ikalem nervously said, "Let's go, MR.1 may appear nearby, if we are bumped into by him, we will be miserable!" ”

"MR.2 in the middle of the street? How far is it from here? Shen Ming asked.

Ikalem said anxiously, "It's only one street away from here, so let's go quickly!" ”

"Continue down this street to the end and you'll see him?" Shen Ming continued to ask.

Puzzled, Ikalem replied, "yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Let's go." Shen Ming called out to Terumi and Carl, and said as he walked out of the alley, "Ikalem, thank you." Let's go and find MR.2! ”

"Huh?" Ikalem was stunned: "What are you going to do with MR.2!" ”

"I say, Your Royal Highness, don't be willful! We are no match for MR.2 at all! If we encounter MR.1 again, with MR.1's temper, we are afraid that we will be more than lucky! ”

Shen Ming waved his hand, walked out of the alley, rode on the Karui duck and turned back to Ikalem and smiled: "You don't have to worry, let's go see MR.2!" ”

"Karui Duck, let's go!"

"Gah!" The Karui duck squawked excitedly and began to gallop down the empty street.

Akalem slapped his thigh hard with a sad face, and sighed, "Hey! Oops! I've got to hurry over and see if I can save the prince!" ”

He swayed left and right in the alley and ran to the middle of the street.

When he ran to a small building next to the middle of the street, and secretly stretched out half of his head to look outside, he happened to see the scene of Shen Ming and the three of them riding Kalu ducks, rushing towards him.

In the middle of the street was a large square, densely packed with thousands of people, and it seemed that all the Aruma people who were roaming the streets had gathered here.

In the center of the square, there is a wooden platform about three or four meters high, guarded by several soldiers in the uniform of the Kingdom Army, and a man with curly hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a green coat and a purple cloak on his back stands in the center of the platform.

That person is none other than the king of MR.2 von Klay's transformation: Naferutali Kobra!

The citizens shouted angrily: "When will it rain!" ”

"It hasn't rained in the kingdom for three years!"

"You have to give us an explanation!"

His Royal Highness the King transformed into MR.2 stood on the stage and said arrogantly: "I am the king, why should I give you any explanation? ”

"If it doesn't rain in the kingdom, what can I do? I am standing here to tell you that if any of you dare to join the rebels, I will kill his entire family! ”

"Pull it up!"

As the words fell, several soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Kingdom Army dragged a crying child onto the wooden platform.

"His father joined the rebel army, you see, this is the consequence of your participation in the rebel army!"

MR.2 changed the king with a big wave of his hand: "Kill!" ”

Just as the citizens watched the scene angrily, a voice came from the street entrance: "Stop!! ”

Shen Ming rode the Karui duck to the square, put his foot on the duck's back, and flew towards the wooden platform!

"Be sure to catch up with !!" Shen Ming shouted in his heart!
