At night, when Mephis, half-asleep and half-awake, felt that something was wrong, and faintly heard an intermittent creaking sound, which was tooth-aching and rhythmic, although very faint, but Mephis was absolutely sure that his ears had heard correctly, so he sat up quietly and looked through the gap in the car.

The three humans in the car basically fell asleep and did not move, so the only one who could make a sound was probably the last one...... Not human.

Mephis leaned on the car and poked her head out of the side, peeking in the direction from which the strange sound had come from, and sure enough, she found a figure sitting in the desert, bathed in the holy moonlight, holding a cold glittering object there.

It's ruining the atmosphere...... The artistic conception of the beauty under the moon was gnawed clean.

Hevier broke the steel sword and fell together, like eating a hamburger, the metal let out a terrible scream under the incredible bite, it felt like a spark and lightning in the mouth and then in the stomach, Hevi, who swallowed a sword, gently slapped her stomach, tilted her head for a few seconds, not knowing what she was thinking, and then suddenly turned back.

The two looked at each other.

“……”

"You eat slowly, don't worry about me."

“……”

Hervier's face turned red, obviously it was a puppet but there was a real crimson on her face, she quietly hid her weapon behind her without saying a word, and Mephis smiled in a daze, and finally got an answer to a doubt in her heart, silently retracted back to her original position and lay down to continue sleeping.

After a night of silence, Hevier was like a hamster stealing food, and the sound of worrying chewing went to a relatively distant position.

The next day, Snood's injuries had healed most of them, thanks to being an alchemist, he brought his own dry food when he went out, otherwise he would have to find a place to write a suicide note on the way.

"I've never been deep into the desert before, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous inside, I was full of confidence before, and now I think about it."

"Every year, I hear that several caravans die in it, but I didn't expect that even the big names of the Alchemy Association almost fell into it."

"Hey, I'm not a big deal, these damn monsters, and those goddamn sand thieves, it's a goddamn dog, don't let me see them again."

Mephis could hear that Uncle Alchemy's heart was sad, and only he and the students were the only two people in the whole team who went back alive, what kind of infamy would they bear at that time?

Luo Luo didn't think about these things, and took out the notebook he carried with him and came to Mephis's side to study.

"Mr. Mephis, do you know what dangers are in the desert? In order to prepare for the future, I have to learn from you now. ”

"It's not the monsters and sand pirates that are really dangerous in the desert, they don't necessarily pose a threat if you're prepared."

The Alchemy Association has accumulated many years of technology, manufacturing combat machinery, imitating ancient magic guide Karakuri, even if it can't completely imitate the real magic guide Karakuri, its technical background must be similar, and there are many strong combat effectiveness, if you bring those combat weapons, you may not be able to fake that special group of sand thieves.

Speaking of all kinds of dangers in the desert, Mephiss believes that the most dangerous is only nature, a large number of stones fly in the sky during sandstorms, and their destructive power is no less than that of a spell attack, stones of any size are transformed into dancing bricks in the wind, and the visibility is zero, and when you are unlucky, you will get a headshot without seeing anything.

In addition to sandstorms, there is also a danger that quicksand, and Mephiss would rather meet sandstorms than meet quicksand, about this knowledge, Mephiss gave full play to the spirit of using it, and copied the knowledge found in the past in books, and the people around him heard it, and he really regarded him as a scholar, and his knowledge reserve was worthy of his name.

The others listened very carefully, and Mephis was even more excited after taking a few sips of water, and there was no pressure to get the information of the game era at her fingertips.

"Once this desert was still a fertile land, surrounded by mountains, trees, rivers, and the earth blessed by the gods, but unfortunately this qiē was all in the smoke of a disaster."

"This disaster is called the 'Millennium War', and you've also inspected a lot of ruins, so you know something about it, right?"

The unspeakable descended from heaven, the rivers dried up, the forests burned, there was no light in the darkness, and the overture of collapse resounded in the sky.

The period of the Millennium War was extremely chaotic and complicated, the Abyss Lord had been peeping into this world for a long time, the turbulent and chaotic planet had attracted the malice of the void, the old and new gods were fighting and killed in the entire world, dozens of civilization inheritances had disappeared, and even the most glorious people of ancient times, Beloka, had fled to the distant sky. As the name suggests, it took millennia for the war to subside, and the surviving races of the fittest continued to thrive and grow stronger.

Although war was one of the factors that led to the formation of this desert, it was the human nations that later migrated to the region that played a decisive role.

The natural environment is harsh, the gods will not give up the believers, the ancient gods who blessed mankind guided mankind to establish a kingdom in the desert, as time went on, the king gradually did not satisfy the constraints of divine power, thinking that relying on humans themselves could govern well, several generations planned to regain their own rights, and finally they succeeded.

The ancient gods of mankind began to choose to wait and see, and the city that lost its protection no longer had rain and could not resist the monsters, and the desertification of the land became more and more severe, and then the mortals cursed the gods, and the gods were completely disappointed and chose to leave, and there was no more water and rain in this desert.

There are no new stories, and there are no people worthy of sympathy, there is no reason for the gods to become nannies, and human beings should also learn to be self-reliant, and the whole story fully demonstrates the truth that people will die if they die.

It is embarrassing that the legendary desert country has such a past, and I am hungry after listening to the story.

This story is very long, from the beginning to the end, it is almost from morning to noon, and in the middle of the desert is blowing again, it is difficult to distinguish the direction, and everyone slows down for a while.

Mephis sat in the back of the car and chewed on food, flipping through the magic book under his hand, trying to understand the magic knowledge explained on it.

"Master Mephis, there's something strange, I don't know if you've noticed."

"What?"

"The cargo in the car doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, and last night I sensed a strong surge of magic."

"That's what." Mephis closed the book very quickly, staring at Hevier seriously, with a sense of powerlessness on his face, "I can probably understand your thirst for magic, if I sleep in one place for so long, I will definitely be hungry, but don't worry about other people's things, I will try my best to satisfy you in the future." ”

Magic Karakuri requires an extremely large amount of magic power to maintain operation, and it is good for Hervier to maintain normalcy, but when encountering a battle to open the psionic light blade, the magic power can pass as quickly as the floodgates can be released, because Mephis is the master who directly provides magic power, Hevier cuts two people and consumes Mephis's dizziness, and the stomach ache that consumes a lot of consumption.

"Did Lord Mephiss have a strange misunderstanding about me?"

Hervier showed an embarrassed expression, quickly put away this strange shame, and said sternly.

"I feel a kind of dilapidated death in that cargo, and there seems to be another ominous smell, in short, it makes people feel dangerous."

"This has nothing to do with us, we don't have to worry about it, just pay more attention, if it's really a dangerous item, find an opportunity to destroy it secretly."

Mephiss quietly glanced at Phipley after speaking, his real name is also effective for people, this merchant is undoubtedly an ordinary person, his name is not fake, and the character level is also a normal category of war scum, it is impossible to step into a mysterious realm such as magic and magic.

It's like meeting a temporary partner in the game, and you won't be stingy if you can help within the scope of your ability, although Mephis is only a battle 8 scum, but there are also Hervier and many magic books as backups.

Heviel accepted the order, ready to pay more attention to the carriage, catching the occasional faint fluctuation of magic power, and in the next second, she condensed the psionic light blade in her hand, and the whole person turned to the back of the team with a strong momentum, and asked loudly.

"What people! You're welcome to go any further! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he waved his hand and slashed, and a sword light that tore through the wind and sand struck through the air, leaving a deep scar on the ground two hundred meters away.

Mephis squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and through the slashed dust, a figure appeared in the distance, wearing leather armor and carrying his shoulders, obviously a very burly man, but he was frightened by the sword light from his feet, and sat on the ground, his legs trembling faintly.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm an innocent mercenary passing by, my companion and I are on the run for our lives after being attacked by sand thieves, so hurry up and run away, the sand pirates will be chasing you soon! ”

Phippley and the others were attracted by the movement here, and when Snood heard this term, his face suddenly became very fierce, and he wanted to grab a certain sand thief and swallow it

", it's a sand thief again, it's a pity that the weapons are not at hand, otherwise they have to look good!"

"Teacher, calm down, there are no weapons available now, so don't bother and leave it to Mr. Mephis."

Mephis didn't think so, the unusual sand thieves in the depths of the desert would make him nervous, but now he was almost out of the desert, and the sand thieves in this edge area were not enough to see, saying that they were a patchwork of ragtag armies, it was not false at all, and then Mephis called Heviel's name, Heviel understood, put away the light blade and rushed straight past the mercenaries in the opposite direction.

"You're it! Run, that's a murderous sand thief! There are hundreds of sand pirates!! ”

"Yes."

Heviel departed like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the vast sand.

The mercenary who had fled before had now fled in a different direction, and as he left, five or six figures appeared in the distance, riding camels and running towards this direction, there was no doubt that they were the sand thieves who were chasing.

These people saw Phipley's wagon and immediately lit up, but they didn't expect to chase an escaped mouse, but instead met a fat sheep on the side of the road, and immediately gave up the fleeing mercenary and changed direction, turned a corner and rushed to Phipley's carriage.

Mephis summoned the Book of Flames and aimed it at the sand thief to open the pages, and the magic circle that unfolded emitted a scorching light.

Mage! The sand thieves had treated a few people here as fat sheep a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, their position changed, and they were reduced to pheasants scattered and fleeing during hunting, and the six of them scattered aside, with a slight panic on their faces.

Despite facing the mage, Mephis's youthful appearance still made them feel that they had a chance.

It takes time for a mage to cast spells, maybe one or two people will die under the first wave of spells, so what? Visibility is extremely low in the wind and sand, and when they can see each other, they are already very close, and the sand thieves plan to rush over and kill Mephis before the second wave of spells comes, and if they succeed, they will make a lot of money.

Those who come out to mix, their heads are pinned to their trouser legs, and when they die, they are on their backs, and the living enjoy wealth and women, these people are not really brave, they are simply tacit.

However, the quadruple magic array shattered the illusions of the sand thieves, and Mephis used his spirit to lock on to the four fastest sand thieves, and the flame shot quickly swept through the air, leaving a faint afterimage, and at the same time, there were four corpses with pierced bodies on the ground.

The crisp and neat spike did not drag the mud and water at all.

"How is that possible!"

The remaining two sand thieves immediately grabbed the reins and turned and fled, the faster the better, but they didn't escape a few meters before they were shot down by a second round of firefire, and their lives were completely lost in the desert.

"It's Mr. Mephis, hey, wait for me."

"You're going to pick the time."

Mephis glanced at him to understand what he was up to, and Fippley trotted with a smile on his face.

"It's not good to waste wealth, assets are accumulated bit by bit, I have to ask you to protect it more, my little body doesn't dare to get close to the sand thief."

"You can just go over without worry, I'll watch here."

Seeing that the battle was over, the merchant Phippley rubbed his hands together and ran wildly at a speed that did not fit his figure, shouting strange noises in his mouth, and holding in his hand a potion that had opened the cap of the bottle, and the smell of rice wafted from it. This is an alchemical potion that can attract camels, and the price is very high, such a small bottle is enough for ordinary families to eat and drink for more than a week, and the volatilization rate is extremely fast, but the effect is very good.

Fippley wiped his sweat and ran as upwind as he could, and three of the camels that had been scared away ran back, and the trader happily led them back to the cart.

"No problem, I'm more than enough to deal with some minions, I can protect this place, I don't know what the situation is on Hervier's side, although I know that she is very strong, but I'm still a little worried if I don't go over and see for myself."
