The victory did not resolve the differences between the two chieftaincy candidates, but on the contrary, it deepened the tension between Fahd and Fatoumah. In the battle of Baider, both of them made some merits, but the greatest credit was snatched away by Muhadi, so neither of them could subdue the other.

The discussion soon turned into an argument, and the dispute turned into a quarrel. In the end, the boy mentioned yì, or first copied the old nest of the Crazy Horse tribe, and then made a calculation, which calmed down the quarrel. []

Later that day, the raging sandstorm finally subsided, and the caravans in the trading post hurriedly left the disputed place, lest the fierce elves take them again. Merchants and travelers from the north to the south rode camels, large and small camels, gray-scaled birds, and shell beetles, from the gates of the trading post to stream out, and they could leave the moment before they could.

Since the battle had already formed a grudge against the Sartai family, who ran the trading post, the elves decided to burn the place down completely. They also prepared grains of salt and deadly potions to scatter into the land after burning down the outpost, leaving it unrejuvenated, and potions to poison the outpost's water so that it could no longer provide water to travelers.

But this plan did not go through because of the arrival of a bad guest.

Fowad ibn Abbas was a respected merchant in Tyre, who, unlike other famous merchants, did not have a business family behind him, and acquired his wealth entirely from scratch. He was in the business of fine fabrics, importing linen from Nibennay, silk from Ankara and gold-trimmed headscarves from Atki. He seems to have a constant business instinct to see potential business opportunities in advance, so now he is one of Tyr's richest men.

Most of the merchants deliberately kept their distance from the new regime in Tyre in order to ensure easy access to the desert, lest they be seen as hidden revolutionary accomplices by the Witch Kings. But Fovard was different, as he secretly financed the revolution when Rikas and Shatiri were being chased by Tesian's Templars, and when Tesian unexpectedly switched to the revolution, he spared no effort to overthrow the Witch King. When the revolution succeeded, he naturally became a member of the ruling council and won the trust of all revolutionaries.

A large shell beetle carried Fwad ibn Abbas and his men to the Badr trading post, with a high sedan chair on his back to protect himself from the wind and sand. When Rao is like this, it is still an extremely dangerous move to cross the desert during a big sandstorm.

Fovard told the elves not to destroy this trading post and to hand it over to him. In return, he gave the elves a few gems the size of sand eagle eggs, and at night, they could still shine.

After Fowad bought the trading post, he strangely asked to see Muhadi, and the boy had planned to pay a good visit to his soldiers. But the other party is a councillor of Tyre, and if he doesn't see it, he may be considered offended, and he has to take time out to meet with the businessman.

Muhadi sat in his room and lit two oil lamps. When Councillor Fovard, his wife, and one of his assistants had entered the room, the boy called out in a voice: "Wise lord, what is the wind that has brought you to me? ”

Who would have thought that the respected fabric merchant would not wait for Muhadi to finish speaking, but he would prostrate himself on the carpet and proclaim: "O great prophet, chief of believers, it is my glory to prostrate under your glory, and it is impossible for a man to hope for greater blessings in his lifetime." Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting, for I want to hear your teachings as soon as possible, and even a moment of delay will be a great pain for me!"

Muhadi was shocked when he heard the other man's words, how did he know that he had preached to the soldiers before the hourglass? Could it be that he was a psychic sorcerer who had spied through my thoughts? Or was his true identity actually a mage, who had detected my words and actions with the power of magic?

Since the young man thought so in his heart, his hand involuntarily pressed on the handle of the knife, and the muscles of his whole body tensed, ready to attack at any time.

As if anticipating Muhadi's reaction, Fowad smiled and spread his hands. "The Holy See wonders how I learned about your first ministry, and it is understandable. But I'm a follower of the first cause, there's no doubt about that. I used to be wealthy, but I was always in turmoil, and neither buying nor enjoying luxury goods or giving generously could calm my mind. It wasn't until I listened to the truth of the first cause that I found peace and joy. ”

"Listen to my story, it will answer your questions and tell you why I'm here. ”

Fowad ibn Abbas sat up from the ground, crossed his legs, and began to tell his story. Muhati was puzzled, but sensing that the other party did not seem to have malicious intent, he sat quietly and listened.

Everything in the world originates from the first cause. However, if the Holy See grants it, I would like to tell my story from the day I walked into the Elven Bazaar. At that time, one of the largest stores in the area, Pù, had a new owner, and the location of that store was so good that it would have to pay a lot of money to buy the store. So I walked in and took a closer look at the goods.

I've never seen so many exotic cargo. Near the doorway was a planetarium made of seven silver-encrusted plates, and a clock powered by the flow of water, which chimes at every hourglass. Inside, there are even more wonderful products. I stared blankly at these things, like a little kid staring at a vaudeville performer. Just then, a man walked out of a door at the back of the store.

I can't reveal the identity of that person right now, and when I finish this story, you will know who he really is.

I was really surprised that this person would appear here, and with his identity, he should not have appeared in this small shop at all.

The man looked at me and thought, "I knew you were going to be here, so I'm here waiting." I know your greatest regret, so as soon as I brought this treasure back from the Dead City, I thought of you. Because you can be of great help, I'm willing to let you use this treasure. ”

"It's a great honor. ”

"Please follow me. He led me through a door in the hall. Next door was a workshop with a number of contraptions that I couldn't guess: metal rods with copper wires wrapped around them that could reach the horizon when untied, a granite slab floating on mercury and mirrors mounted on the slabs...... He walked straight past the things without even looking at them.

He led me to a sturdy pedestal. This pedestal is as high as a person's chest, and there is a thick metal ring on it, the diameter is as wide as two palms, and the ring is very thick, it seems that even the strongest man, think

It can also be very difficult to move the ring. The metal was black, as black as night, but polished so smooth that if it wasn't that color, it would have served as a mirror. The man asked me to stand on one side of the metal ring, facing its ring, while he himself stood directly across from it.

"Look at it. He said.

The man pointed to the metal ring, "The ancient halfling civilization made this amazing device, and before they degenerated into savage, hairy and blood-drinking cannibals, the halflings were once noble and powerful, they were masters of technology and psionic power, and this is one of their most remarkable creations. ”

He explained to me how he had found this strange treasure in the depths of the desert, in the dead city that was said to be the capital of an ancient halfling civilization. "Ancient halflings made this strange thing out of the sands of time, they melted the sands of time, and then the glass mechanics blew it into this shape. And its function is to allow people to travel through time. ”

He stood on the right side of the doorway, motioning for me to come closer, then pointed to the other side of the doorway, "Look." ”

I looked, and the carpet and mats on the other side of the room were different from what I saw when I came in. I turned my head to look left and right, and then I realized that when I looked at the side of the doorway, I saw another room, very different from the room where my feet were standing now.

"What you see is what this room will look like twenty years later. The man said.

I blinked vigorously, like a man who saw a phantom of water in the desert. But what I saw didn't change. "This door can be walked through to twenty years from now?" I asked.

"One step later, you'll be in Tyre, twenty years from now. You can find you who will be older in twenty years and talk to him. After that, you can walk through this 'New Year' Gate again and return to the present. ”

Listening to his words, I felt dizzy. "Have you ever done anything like that?" I asked him, "have you ever been?"

"No, time is not the same for me as it is for others. He said, in a very somber tone. "The power to see through the flow of time is terrifying and dangerous. For me, power is both a blessing and a cage. Bearing the Name of the Prophet......"

His words were incomprehensible, just like the ones he usually liked to say. I didn't care, but he solemnly asked me to write down what he said, and he said it would come in handy.

"Before I fulfill your wishes, I will tell you three stories. You can judge for yourself the dangers of using this ancient item, and whether or not you want to accept my mission. Be sure to remember the stories I told you, though, and you'll need to retell them. ”

"Now, Holy See, allow me to repeat these stories. ”

------------------------------------------------------- this verse was supposed to be part of a whole story, and I took a screenshot. The full story may take two or three verses to tell. Several of the councillors in the chapter of Tyr, such as Tessian, Shatiri, Aikis, and Fuwad ibn Abbas, have all appeared so far. Only the former gladiator Rikas did not have it. As the heroes who overthrew the Witch King, each of them has a deep story behind them, and I try to make their experience as special as possible, hoping that it doesn't backfire.
