Chapter 25: Hasan (5)
"Thank you, Lord! Hassan, my dear nephew, you have finally woken up!"
As soon as Duck opened his eyes, he saw a bushy beard.
"You ......"
Seeing that he wanted to get up, the bearded man hurriedly pressed him gently: "Although the injury is not serious, it is better to rest for a few more days, don't rush to get up." I am your uncle Usalim, a pious servant of the Holy Lord. β
When did I come up with an Arabic uncle? It's a wonderful world.
Talking nonsense with your eyes open, this is not a good thing, but the current situation is quite unfavorable, so let's fool the past first.
Of course, people can pretend to be stupid, but they can't be stupid.
"Uncle...... I don't remember. β
"Of course you don't remember. You were young when you were taken captive by the infidels. But I remember your star-sparkling eyes...... The pain of the past, just let it pass, it's great that you can come back. β
Duck was secretly amused, this guy really bragged about not making drafts, and was taken captive by infidels?
To be able to get me out of the cell of the Holy Mosque, and not hesitate to make up clumsy lies to cover for me, this guy has a lot of energy. What is the purpose of him being so close to me?
Usalim continued: "I know all about you, escaping from the port of um lim was a hardship. It was Lord Carla who made our uncle and nephew meet hereβhave you ever joined the Inspired Sect?"
"Inspirational? What's that?"
Usalim was also laughing secretly in his belly, this sage's vigilance is really not ordinarily strong, I am so obviously showing goodwill, I actually use pretending to be stupid to deal with it, but only in this way can I complete the great mission!
Thinking of this, he patiently explained: "The Inspired Sect was founded by the 'Inspired One' Bakr under the sage Mahammad, and they are the guards of the sages, and they are all pious and loyal, and they are extraordinary. Whether it's the Dorlanders, the Noziks, or the Baduins who wander in the desert, they are terrified. They were repeatedly entrusted with important tasks by the sages, and later, they were given the right to chant without having to speak. β
Speaking of this, Usalim said: "They wore black robes that symbolized suffering and perseverance, carried Yatai dry knives, and had black crescent moon tattoos behind their ears, which means to be in darkness and have a heart to the light. My dear nephew, young people like to be different, I understand, but you are pretending to be too similar, no, you are getting yourself in trouble. β
"I see. β
"I don't have an ordinary relationship with the Holy Mosque here, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to get you out. In the future, you should play stupid when you should play stupid, especially," Usalim squeezed his eyes at Dak, "chanting out loud." β
"Thank you for your advice. β
"I'm not done yet, lately, the wind has been getting worse and worse in the capital of Paghda. The Holy Apologists are arrogant, and the incident in Umlim Harbor is nothing more than a search for Assasin followers and a purge of dissidents - this is just the beginning. My nephew, you walk in all directions, be careful!"
Duck said in his heart, this is going to send away the cheap nephew he just recognized?
"I have sent a letter to all the city lords on the Pearl Road and to the Bercas of the Holy Mosque, mentioning your matter, and you only need to explain that it is my nephew, and they will definitely help you. I, Ussalim, still have this little face. β
Darker hurriedly said, "Thank you so much!"
"What are you doing so politely, there are a few more things, you put them away. β
"What?"
"I've seen your belt, it's an artifact. That abundant wind magic energy would be fine even if it made half of the legion's large flying carpet float in the air. It seems that you must have had some amazing adventures, but in the desert, wind magic is not enough. You need this. β
As he spoke, Usalim placed a crudely shaped compass in front of Dark.
The compass was not large, and Duck could clasp it in the palm of his hand with a fist. The boxy wooden box is embedded with a transparent crystal cover that is perfectly round. The compass needle on the disc under the crystal cover was actually a slender gray-yellow lizard, the lizard spit out a bright red tongue and slowly rotated in circles, and there was a small scale next to the disk, and a drop of water slowly swung up and down near the green tick line in the center.
"It's called a dried lizard, and when it sticks out its tongue, it means that there is a water source within a radius of five kilometers, and the direction of the tongue is the direction of the water source. The scale next to it indicates the height of the water source above the surface. β
Duck exclaimed.
In the desert, water is life, more precious than gold.
If there is such an artifact in hand, doesn't it mean that the sea of sand, which is full of death, is about to become a thoroughfare?
"It's too expensive for me to want. β
Usalim smiled slightly, took out another small box, and pushed it in front of Darker: "Open." β
His calm tone was so firm that it was impossible to refuse, and Duck opened it to reveal a dark gold ring set with opal.
"Wear it on your left index finger. Rub your right palm three times. β
Duck did as he was told, and with a snort, smoke rose everywhere, and in less than two seconds, the smoke cleared, and a thirty-centimeter-tall figure came out of the ring.
The villain's features were clearly visible, he was a short and fat man, wearing a red cardigan coat in the style of an Arab, and a pale blue smoke below his waist that gradually tapered into the eyes of the opal.
"Ah," the little man stretched and yawned, and when he saw Dark, his spirits perked, "your servant is at your service, my lord. Who are you looking at?"
Duck froze, and looked at Usalim as if asking for help.
"You see a ringwraith, it's waiting for your instructions, right? But I can't see it, there's nothing in front of you in my eyes. Well, you can show it the guards in the yard. β
Darker said to the Ringwraith, "Look at the guards in the courtyard. β
"Ah, noble lord. There are twelve guards in the courtyard, they are the guards of the Holy Mosque, these pious humans are highly resistant to mind magic, their robes are hidden with double armor and alarm devices, and they are equipped with high-quality Arabic scimitars and steel crossbows, and they are at the level of great swordsmen. Attacking any of them will attract twenty-five to fifty times as many reinforcements in a period of fifteen seconds to a minute. If you attack, sir, you should at least have the strength of a quasi-Juggernaut level. β
Duck was dumbfounded.
Usalim laughed, "A pretty rappy guy. It is a magical energy detection equipment that stores a large amount of information about the flora and fauna that have appeared on the peninsula. You can think of it as an encyclopedia, or a clever spy. The effective range is one hundred meters. It won't do much for an experienced explorer, but, Hassan, you've been away from home for a long time and probably don't know much about the neighborhood anymore, so it should be easier to have this little thing to help. Plus, there's this. β
He took out a note from his pocket, wrote a line with a brush, solemnly signed his name at the end, and stamped a dark flower on it with the ring of his right hand.
"A person who doesn't have copper is a pilgrimage, and it will be extremely difficult. 600,000 dinars, someone will take you to withdraw it in a moment. There's only so much I can help you. β
Duck said: "These are too valuable, I must not accept them." β
"Young man, you have to do big things, things that all of us want to do but can't. Your ideal is my ideal, and I hope it will be fulfilled in your hands! Go, my nephew, whom I have never met, but who will be proud in the future, fight for the peninsula, and may the favor of the Holy Lord be with you!"
An inexplicable feeling welled up in Duck's chest, and he couldn't help but stand up and give a solemn chest salute to the pious and lovely Burka.
