Chapter 113: Desert City
There are multiple lights in the tent......
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Something as tall as a peak, what the hell could it be?
"So the scouts went to investigate the matter?" Edmund held his wand and a small ball of light was lit, this was a magic that Wang Chu didn't know until later, a simple recorded spell that could reverberate in a specific time and echo the sound recorded by it.
"Yes, Grand Teacher, we have been desperate to know the whole process since we discovered this secret...... In fact, in Lexus Town, most of the werewolves have lost their consciousness as humans, but they will occasionally appear in the town's homes during the day, just standing still or lying down. Only at night do they go around foraging for food. Madias recalls what he has seen and heard in this time.
"So what do they eat, there seems to be nothing in this desert. One of the students said.
Wang Chu glanced back at him, it was Edmund's grandson, and the warlock brother only had the impression of this person that was different from the effect of the magician's release of magic, and he didn't know anything deeper.
"There's really nothing in the desert, except for a few fruit trees and weeds, but the small town of Lexus is close to the water source and should have grown other things, but it was abandoned after becoming a werewolf. ”
"And they are not so much eating, but as human beings, they are used to this action, and even if they don't hunt them, they won't die for a long time. ”
Listening to Madias's explanation, Wang Chu remembered the stagger lake he saw during the day, and there seemed to be a lot of dead plants around it.
"Well, I mean, after you found that thing. ”
More generals want to know the whole thing.
"We investigated this many times, but it only occasionally appeared when the desert was windy, and we could only watch from a distance, and we tried to get close many times, but it failed, and many people went out in the sandstorm and never came back. With that, Madias sighed and took out several medals from his waist with the flag of Hajar City.
It is a type of item worn in the military headquarters to facilitate the identification of the names of those who died in battle.
"There's another part I haven't been able to find, and the sandstorm is too big. ”
The crowd didn't speak, but Lias looked at Lucia beside her as if she wanted to stop talking.
She pushed her arm against the other.
"What's wrong? ”
"No, it's nothing......" she shook her head vigorously.
Fiona on the side also seemed to sense Lucia's unnaturalness.
"Lucia, your hometown is here, do you know something?" she asked.
At this time, almost everyone turned their eyes, and the people of the western country ...... Most of the people here are residents of Hajar City, if not the rest of the Empire, and the Asta Empire has been expanding eastward for many years, and has rarely taken care of the war-torn areas to the west.
"I almost forgot, Lucia is indeed from the west, have you heard of these things, boy?" asked Edmund as well.
Lias paused for a moment, then tracing the hat above her head.
Since coming here, Wang Chu has understood why the other party has always worn hats, and so are those werewolves, here is a desert with a lot of wind and sand, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large, and the people who live here are wearing cloth hats, probably because of this.
"When I was very young, I used to hear adults say that the Desert Hills would haunt the Black Storm when it came, that they were the nightmare of the desert, and that no one could come out of the Black Storm. ”
"Desert hills, what is that?" the crowd stared at Lucia's pretty face.
She shook her head.
"I've only heard of it, but very few people have actually seen it, and it's all by word of mouth. ”
Each place will have its own regional rumors, true or false, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's just a word of mouth.
"I remembered this when I heard what Master Madias was doing in seconds. ”
It seems that there is still no result.
Everything will only be clear tomorrow when we enter the town.
........................
Edmund then asked Madiath about the desert, where werewolves appeared, and how capable they were.
It's not bad, the werewolves here may not have eaten all year round, and some of the werewolves' accumulated flesh has long been eroded by the wind, and their abilities are not as good as at the beginning, so it is not so difficult to fight, as long as they are not bitten.
As for why there is such a curse, Madias can't say, and the rest of the people don't understand.
Early the next morning, the camp was not packed.
In the second half of the night, many people couldn't sleep, and Lias followed behind the carriage with blood-colored eyes and Wang Chu in her arms.
In the desert, the carriage could not be walked at all, even on horseback, and the soft sand could easily sink into the horse's hooves, and if the horse fell slightly on horseback, the horse would be easily frightened.
So it's better to walk on foot.
"You're alright, Lias. Lucia asked.
Her eyes were bloodshot, too, and no one had slept in the entire priest's tent last night.
"It's fine. Lias replied.
However, Wang Chu slept very soundly in the other party's arms, and the desert temperature during the day had risen a lot, and even in his bare arms he felt sweat stains sticky.
His ears kept beating, in fact, in this kind of hot and dusty place, Wang Chu couldn't sleep.
Even if you close your eyes, you can still hear the discussions of the people around you.
The sand is softer than the rest of the place where the star falls, and many of the places that rise above can only slide down, otherwise you will sink into the sand if you step on it.
"Be careful in the back, slide down. The troops at the front said loudly.
Some of the girls in the team were reluctant to do so, but when they stepped on it and began to slide down, they had to follow it quickly...... Some even rolled down.
Stained with fine sand.
"Don't tremble, it's like this in the desert, you don't wear this kind of clothes in the first place, and then change into a mage robe. ”
In this environment, there was no way to drive, and the legions began to unload the wagons and carry their belongings on the horses, otherwise they would not be able to walk at all.
It's not too far from Lexus Town, just a few hills, and when the weeds around start to get more and a cool breeze starts to blow in the air.
"Water! It's water. There's water up ahead. The vanguard shouted happily.
Lias quickened her pace and followed.
Since entering the desert, the consumption of water has been very large, and when I touched the water bag on my waist, it was already empty, and most people couldn't help but run over when they heard that there was water.
Wang Chu opened his eyes and saw it.
Follow the speed of Lias's trot as she climbs over the last dune.
Just like I saw in the sky yesterday, there was a large backwater lake behind it.
Behind the lake is a city made of sand, and the yellow mud houses are neatly and neatly covered, but from here it is still very large, like a small city.
