"It's a path I chose for myself, and I will never regret it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Miranda wrote a heavy sentence in her notebook, and her heart was also heavy because of this sentence, because from tomorrow she will become a formal adventurer and set off for the vast desert in the westernmost part of the continent.

At this time, it has been nearly five months since Miranda came to the Republic of Marver, and during these five months, Miranda has been trying to see the "desert monster" with her own eyes, a terrifying thing that ordinary people can't avoid. It's just that the Republic of Marvil has explicitly forbade anyone to approach the boundless desert, because that desert has "swallowed" many people of the Republic of Marvil during the year. Even the most daring adventurers and adventurers were deterred by reestimating the risks that existed, and the Republicans who wanted to develop the desert were instantly reduced to zero.

The Senate of the Republic of Marvil soon designated all the cities in the westernmost part of the Republic as dangerous zones, and many of them had been evacuated and emptied, not allowing any civilians to remain there.

Despite the Senate's policy, the poorest had nowhere to choose. Most of them stayed in the empty city, collected the things that were of little value but were not taken away, exchanged them for some daily necessities from the passing vendors, and continued to live with the city of yellow sand.

It was in the name of "expelling refugees" that Miranda set out for the desert to the west with a team authorized to empty the western cities. In fact, in this team of only 80 people, few people really want to care about the refugees who can't leave the city. Those refugees are either too poor or sick, and I am afraid that only those with an excess of good intentions will care about the lives of these people.

Miranda, a well-traveled traveling businessman, is no stranger to this kind of thing, and like the rest of the party, she's just interested in the unknown and dangerous desert. To put it bluntly, this team is just an expedition in the name of expelling refugees, and the vast majority of people who join this team do so to discover what they want.

Everyone's heart may have different wants, some people think that there are incredible wonders in the desert, some people think that there are natural resources there, some people want to hunt for treasures, some people want to capture some exaggerated descriptions of foreign peoples... In short, this expedition of more than eighty people was full of all kinds of ideas, all kinds of intentions.

None of these crazy creatures were afraid of the dangers they might encounter, and no one was afraid of the changing weather and the rolling sand, but the rumored "desert monsters" still unnerved the fearless explorers.

Rumors of "monsters" and "monsters" first appeared in the Republic of Marvil a year ago. The vanished construction team, the vanished mercenaries, and the vanished soldiers of the Republic all make the people living in the west fearful. There were not many inhabitants of those cities, and the people of the whole city knew each other well, and the endless desert suddenly swept away the living people, which made them feel more terrified than ever.

Although the Mercenary Guild's Royal Knight Mercenary Regiment quickly claimed to have destroyed the monsters, no one had ever seen the corpses of those monsters. Instead, it was discovered that the mercenaries of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment had gone deep into the desert and were never seen again. More and more people are leaving those cities, and the cities are autonomous, and the Republic of Marvil, which does not have many regular troops, can only accept the fear brought by the mysterious sea of sand.

Miranda had been waiting, and she had been traveling around the Republic of Marvil for a long time before waiting for this opportunity. She didn't want to go back empty-handed, her main purpose was to see the incredible with her own eyes, whether it was a monster or a different race from the mainlanders - even if it put her in danger, but the curiosity in her heart outweighed everything.

The night before departure, Miranda still used the alias Minanta to chat and drink happily with the group of adventurers who were not afraid of death, and those adventurers were looking forward to tomorrow one by one, they were definitely aliens from the mainland, a group of aliens who could not live in peace. After so many years of traveling with her father Charrick, Miranda has long since learned how to drink in disguise. She was able to "let go" of alcohol while drinking, so the drunkard adventurers who shouted loudly collapsed, and Miranda smiled at the table full of wine and meat.

Of the more than eighty adventurers, less than half of them drank under the inn, and the other half did not want to fall asleep drunk. Eventually, a dozen of them got drunk, and the rest left the table half-drunk and half-conscious, and walked into the room with each other's arms. And the reason why Miranda is willing to stay until the end is because she wants to borrow wine to get close to one of the adventurers, a very low-key adventurer who, like Miranda, disguises himself as a man.

The reason why Miranda finds out that the other party is a woman is because this female adventurer is none other than the pirate-like mercenary Harriet.

The sturdy mercenary who once brought a deep-sea octopus to the Free City wore a brown wig and hid her silver-white hair. Her original weapon was gone, but her eyes and face were imprinted on Miranda's heart. So when this mercenary, who is not low-status, appeared in this team, Miranda recognized the other party at a glance. The mercenary named Harriet should also recognize Miranda as the traveling merchant who used sea salt to deal with the octopus's tentacles, but she never deliberately approached Miranda.

Harriet joined the expedition ten days later than Miranda, so several of the expedition leaders were wary of Harriet, but Harriet had already paid for a big leader. Harriet's team of thirty men was the largest of the expedition, while Miranda, along with eight others, was a small group. The eighty people are divided into five teams, and the division of the team is related to the original occupation of the members, and most of Miranda's team members are tourist merchants. However, these merchants are not ordinary merchants, some have been mercenaries, some are hunters, and some are robbers.

"Have you ever seen a man with silver hair?" said Miranda, who had a crisp short hair, and she had cut off her ponytail, but she still had those blonde hair, which she planned to pick up later, "it was the most beautiful hair color, like pearls." ”

"Have a drink?" Harriet didn't respond directly, but slid a glass full of wheat wine through a pile of arms, just enough force to stop the glass in front of Miranda.

"Okay. Instead of using what her father had taught her, Miranda drank the glass of wheat wine - in fact, Miranda drank very well, but the best person would get drunk one day, so she had been very restrained in order to keep her sanity.

"The monster is coming!" Miranda suddenly shouted, but the drunken explorers didn't hear it, and Miranda was only shouting to confirm.

"Monsters, no matter how powerful a monster is, it can't beat a human, I can defeat any monster, but not a human being. Harriet deliberately feigned a foul voice, which she had been using since she joined the expedition.

"I'm different from you, I just want to see with my own eyes things that ordinary people can't see. Miranda tentatively.

Harriet filled her glass and took a big sip, "How do you know we have different purposes? I also want to see things that ordinary people can't see, after all, I'm also a... Adventurer. ”

"Hahahaha, an adventurer who poked out a huge octopus. ”

"I occasionally work part-time as a fisherman, and the special creatures on the bottom of the sea are invisible to ordinary people. ”

"This journey can be dangerous, why don't you just take your men with you?"

"I don't have any subordinates," Harriet kicked a drunk man who was turning upside down at her, and spat on his clothes, "what about you? I don't think you're just a tourist merchant." ”

Miranda smiled wryly, "I'm really a simple tourist businessman..."

"A traveling merchant dressed as a man, just for the convenience of traveling?"

Miranda shook her head helplessly, "I'm not lying, because the purpose of my coming here is too simple, and I don't even have the luxury of expecting any possible treasures." ”

Harriet stood up suddenly, stomped on the table with one foot, and with a second kick the whole person standing on the long wine table, and walked towards Miranda.

"Minanta, if you are not a person with secret intentions, then you must be a person with unlimited courage and no fear of death at all. Harriet walked up to Miranda and looked down at her condescendingly.

Miranda felt a lot of pressure, although she was not afraid that the other party would harm her, but Harriet had a different momentum from ordinary women and ordinary mercenaries. It was as if she had been born to be a leader, a person who was accustomed to looking down on others.

Miranda forced her composure and slowly picked up the wine glass on the wine table, in fact, there was no more wine there, but she still wanted to use this action to relieve her tension.

"Don't worry, I like you," Harriet's arm was about as slender as Miranda's, but she pulled out the dagger faster than Miranda had ever seen, "for no reason, because I'm particularly interested and curious about a woman like you." Harriet crouched down like a man with her legs bent, stretched out her other hand and grabbed Miranda's chin, slowly pulling Miranda's face in front of her.

Miranda's heart was beating faster and her face was flushed. From the perspective of others, two young men with bright eyebrows were flirting at the wine table, but they were only two women on the expedition.

The next morning, Harriet joined Miranda's team, and she did it without any reason but a little money. Miranda spent the night not knowing what the other party had in mind, and she didn't even know why the other party wanted to join the expedition, but she could tell from Harriet's eyes that the other party was very interested in her, an interest that she didn't know was kind and malicious.
