ps: Thank you for the monthly votes of the three "Game Bugs", "Cute Cat Sage", and "Qiilinn".

Facing the smoke in front of him, Barrett subconsciously frowned. In fact, no matter how many times he experienced it, he still wondered what kind of charm it was for a group of people to gather together to smoke - what kind of charm it was, so that the desert dwellers were holding the "dancing princess and snake" in the clouds, and the water was drunk.

After taking a few deep breaths with his eyes closed, Mr. Alexa turned to Barrett and asked, "So Mr. Boram, aren't you used to this environment?" ”

"Hmmm! The smoke is so much of a sight obsessive. It made me feel uneasy. Barrett lied without blinking.

However, Mr. Alexa didn't know if he really believed Barrett's nonsense, or didn't expose it in order to take care of his face: "Naturally, we don't smoke other people's second-hand smoke here." Come up to the second floor with me, it's a better place than here. ”

Follow Mr. Alexa as he steps up the crunching stairs, and Barrett, who gently holds the handrail, feels the wood texture that has been rounded by the years. Then he was shocked by the feeling of his hand, and then lowered his head slightly: "This seems to be made of corn wood, which means that it seems that this whole building may be made of this kind of wood?" If that's the case, that's a big deal...... 7’

Millet is a tree that grows in the southern part of the continent and has olive leaves and gray bark. The material of these trees is so hard and durable that it is impossible to work with them without a sharp, sharp tool. But it is precisely because of this that it is a very suitable material for making zuò shields, because a violent impact may cause a crack in a shield made of Sushi. But it doesn't make it fall apart. In addition, once soaked in water before the war, it became very difficult to catch fire.

However, the shield of Sushmu is common. However, houses made of corn wood are very rare. After all, it's not just time-consuming and laborious to process. It is also extremely useful - in this land where the smoke of gunfire has never dissipated, any material that can be related to weapons and equipment, no matter how cheap it may be, will eventually become more expensive.

Even in Boreham's territory, Barrett has not been able to see anyone build a small building out of Soshwood. Suddenly, you would be surprised to see such a building in Yale City. Know that Yale City is located in the middle of the Pamir Desert, and any vegetation around it is very precious - it is absolutely forbidden to cut down living trees. In other words, all these building materials are from thousands of miles away, coupled with the high freight in the desert, the cost of this small building in front of you is indeed staggering.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! He had just gone up to the second floor when Barrett heard the rhythmic sound of the leather drums. With this voice. Two young ladies in tulle swing their hips and abdomen to a fast, ever-changing rhythm.

The skin of the belly that seemed to have been smeared with beeswax trembled like the wings of a hummingbird, and the pair of round buttocks were as uncertain as undulating waves. With a thin layer of light veil blocking the cheeks, it is enough to make any normal man's mouth dry.

But there are still abnormal men after all. For example, Barrett is still a little unmoved. This gave Mr. Alexa a hint of suspicion in his gaze.

As if worried that Mr. Alexa had misunderstood his sexuality, Barrett immediately smiled in embarrassment: "It's a bone-scraping steel knife!" Now is far from the time when you can enjoy it with peace of mind. Both oneself and one's family have strict restrictions in that regard. ”

"I do know you, Mr. Boreham, why you have such skills at this age." Mr. Alexa made a look of sudden realization, and then shook his head, "But I definitely can't do this to you. After all, your life is no different from that of the monks in the monastery. What does it mean for people to live like that? ”

"Nope! No! No! I'm not the same thing as the monks in the monastery. At the very least, I can enjoy the appetite, and the low degree of aging is not admitted. Barrett shook his head and continued, "Besides, one can't miss something, no. And it's not like I've been so unapproachable to women all my life. ”

Although his mouth is so nice, Barrett's psychology is still a little uneasy about Mr. Alexa. It is often the time when men are at their weakest when doing that kind of thing. Unless you practice the 'Immortal and Indestructible Body' like a high-ranking warrior monk. Otherwise, it is better to encounter such a professional woman who does not know the roots.

And another reason is. Barrett didn't know if the target called 'Freya' would come to the door as someone had said before. Considering the man's reputation in the Pamirs, Barrett wasn't sure if he would be able to treat him differently and avoid the 'price' he had to pay.

What's more, Barrett was almost certain that the dancer named Freya was far superior to him in the rumors he had collected on this day. In other words, if the other party uses force, Barrett doesn't seem to have the ability to resist. But once in that situation, for the sake of a man's dignity, Barrett has to recharge his energy in these few days to deal with the pink storm that may be encountered.

At this time, Mr. Alexa naturally followed Barrett's words and pointed to the hollow carved box on the side: "Speaking of food, it seems that my previous decision was definitely not wrong." The delicacy of this 'Dune Magic Castle' is also a must-have in Yale City. I think you'll be satisfied. ”

"Then I would like to thank you, Mr. Alexa, for your hospitality." As he said this, a bright smile appeared on Barrett's face.

After taking his seat, Mr. Alexa, who was half a landowner, first said something to the waitress who was also lightly dressed on the side. Soon the two of them had a plate of orange roast cut into long strips and two peeled honeydew melons on the table. With the sound of wind chimes in front of the window, a smell of mutton is fragrant. It immediately made Barrett feel a little appetizing.

It seems that Barrett seems to be a little embarrassed to do it. Mr. Alexa was the first to pick up the lamb from his plate and put it in his mouth. There was a beginning to the host's house. Barrett was naturally no longer polite, and sent the golden-looking mutton into his mouth. Immediately after that, Barrett's mouth was exposed to two completely different touches - the outer flesh was brown and crispy, and the inner flesh was soft and tender.

The juice overflowing from the tender meat and the peeled white sesame seeds sprinkled on the crispy skin complement each other, and the faint woody aroma suppresses the fishy smell of the mutton just right. But too strong a fishy smell is like a woman, and it will only make people stay away. Therefore, suppressing the flavor to what is dù is a very test of the chef's skills. Perhaps it is only under natural conditions such as grasslands or deserts that a chef who is truly proficient in this art can be born.

Although the lamb in front of me does not use very heavy spices. But in order to ensure that the taste buds are not affected when the next dish is usually served, Barrett still uses melons and fruits on the side to clear his mouth. It has to be said that because of the drastic temperature difference between day and night, the melons and fruits in the desert oasis are far more delicious than those from other places - the pursuit of sweetness is almost imprinted in the blood of all intelligent creatures.

Barrett's eyes widened when it came to the next dish, which was actually a plate of 'rice bowls' sprinkled with a variety of dried fruits. Because of his identity in reality, Barrett inevitably has a great preference for diets such as rice. However, in the western continent where we lived before, most of the crops such as rice were imported products, and the expensive ones were not suitable as the staple food of ordinary people. Now that I suddenly saw the 'rice bowl' in front of me, I was naturally quite emotional.

However, when Barrett took a closer look, he realized that the 'small rice' full of rich chicken and creamy flavor in front of him was actually not real millet. Rather, it is a type of semolina that is not common. Barrett was immediately slightly disappointed. But in the spirit of never letting go. Still with the spoon that comes with the rice, scoop one spoonful and put it in your mouth.

Suddenly, the sweetness of the chicken juice and the aroma of the cream burst out in Barrett's mouth. Then scoop up the wheat kernels and the braised chicken shreds on top at the same time. Although the combination between the two is not fantastic, it can be regarded as a unique flavor. Occasionally, the Congo, preserved fruits and raw vegetables can also bring some fresh taste, so that people will not get tired of eating.

After the main meal, the waiter brought a large plate of melons and fruits, which seemed to have been freshly washed and were stained with crystal droplets. At the same time, Hao served a glass of transparent drink with a slightly pale green color. It's a local mint tea made with sugar in a green tea soup and fresh mint leaves – it tastes quite cold.

After a full meal, Barrett suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Alexa! Thank you for your care these days. If you have any needs, please feel free to bring them up, and I will not postpone them as much as I can. ”

"I'll discuss this matter with you, Mr. Boreham, when we get to the caravan camp tonight." After saying this, Mr. Alexa turned his head to look around, obviously thinking that the environment here was a bit of a mixed environment.

Barrett nodded: "Then let's enjoy the food in peace for the time being!" ”

The night sky in the desert is exceptionally transparent. The scimitar-like new moon used its pure light to shroud the surrounding qiē in a thin veil. Crystal clear stars cast sparse spots on the black canopy, winking playfully at the creatures on the ground.

In one of the tents at the camp of the 'Camel Bell Caravan', Barrett and Mr. Alexa were sitting in front of a low table and whispering something.

"Mr. Alexa, you want me to help you!" Barrett frowned as he said this, "Originally, it was like the kind of opportunity to fight against other masters, and I didn't want to miss it. But this time, I was also burdened with the task of the family, and I just didn't know if there would be a conflict in time. ”

"Mr. Boreham! Since I am asking you to help me, I will naturally not let you make a move in vain. Mr. Alexa said with a smile.

But Barrett still shook his head: "Seriously, in reality, for us martial artists, if we want to improve our strength, the fastest shortcut is to find someone with equal strength to fight." So how could I not be interested in the martial arts competition that you mentioned earlier, Mr. Alexa. However, when you were in the city hall before, you should also understand that I came to the Pamir Desert on a mission. So I can only guarantee that if the timing doesn't conflict, I'll attend the internal martial arts meeting you just mentioned. But if there is a conflict in time, I can only be sorry for the time. And don't mention the remuneration, I always feel ashamed of it in this situation. ”

"In that case, please take this first." After saying this, Mr. Alexa handed over an iron plate, "If you are free in three months, Mr. Boram, please take this iron plate and go back to this station." Naturally, someone will take you to your destination. ”

Barrett, who took the iron card, reached out and touched the lines on it and threw it directly into his waist bag: "But there are so many words." I don't know exactly what the rules of the Tribal Fighting Association you just talked about, Mr. Alexa! ”

"Anyway, it's not something to hide, and it doesn't hurt to sue you. This kind of thing is inevitable for the big tribes of the Pamir Desert. Speaking of this, Mr. Alexa sighed, "You also know that the resources in the desert are not as good as those in those areas where the land is fertile, so it is especially difficult to create a non-divine spellcaster......

Although Divine Magic is relatively more cost-effective, there are certain things that Divine Magic cannot complete. In this way, in the Pamir Desert, all non-divine spellcasters are precious to their own clan. As a result, they often have a relatively high position among the tribes.

Human nature is always greedy, and after having the original offerings, those spellcasters will naturally want to get more things. Whether it is resources or full strength, it has become their pursuit. In the desert, resources are already scarce, and if you divide a little more, the others will naturally be less. In this way, the previous contradictions between those casters and other clan members (especially other clan leaders) are deeply buried.

The martial arts contest mentioned earlier by Mr. Alexa is one of the many ways in which these contradictions have been resolved in the Pamirs. Once every 10 years, each victory or defeat determines the distribution of tribal goods and power for the next 10 years. (To be continued......)
