Although the sandmen and the kraken share the same ancestor, they are not at all similar in terms of living habits and social structure.

The Sandmen maintain a sacrificial tradition and have some kind of evil spirit worship. There were a large number of slaves in their settlements, with only the Warlock and a few Sandman warriors in the ruling class.

Although the Sandman Warlock is rare, they are the core of the entire Sandman group, and dominate the most important ritual activities of the Sandmen. Unlike normal sandmen, their upper limbs are not sickle-shaped, but have webbed palms.

The legendary sandman warlock is cruel and easy to kill, and the one in front of Will at this time really doesn't look like it.

Unlike the Dark Elves, the Sandmen have extremely strong drilling and digging abilities. They will dig a semi-circular space along the cavern underground.

The status of the sandman warlock is revered, and at the center of this semicircular space, a sacrificial temple is built.

Beneath the statue of the evil spirits in the temple stands a throne. Although this throne is only made of rammed earth, it symbolizes the authority of the entire sandman stronghold. Whoever can sit on it will be able to control the stronghold.

In the vast underground stronghold, the sandman warlock sitting on the throne was smiling at the moment, looking at Will and the cart of grain behind him.

"So you are the new lord of Naya! I am Lolos, the king of the sandmen, and you want to trade with our sandmen, this matter is easy to talk about!"

Looking at the appearance of this sandman warlock, instead of a trace of dislike, he was very intimate.

"What do you think of a cart of grain for a cart of ore?"

"Yes!"

Will nodded and said.

"My lord, beware of deception!"

Arya followed behind Will and reminded in elven language.

Arya thought that the sand man warlock couldn't understand her words, but who knew that a smile appeared on his triangular face, and she said in a jerky elven language: "Don't worry, this elf lady, I am very sincere." ”

Arya was a little surprised, she didn't expect this sandman to speak Elvish. However, Arya did not retreat, but instead faced it and asked, "We elves killed you four sandman warlocks, a large number of sandman warriors, don't you hate it at all?"

"Hehe!" said the sandman warlock with a sharp smile on his lips, which seemed to be full of joy, "Why should I hate you, if you hadn't killed them, how could I be in this position now?"

Arya was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that this sandman warlock would be so shameless and not take his compatriots to heart in the slightest.

"Don't you feel no pain or regret when someone of your kind dies?"

"We sandmen believe in evil spirits because they teach us to be treacherous, fierce, and merciless. The most important thing is that the interests are the most important. Now we sandmen have just experienced a great defeat, a large number of samurai have died, and those stupid slaves are ready to move. If there is not enough food, they will rebel. Why should I refuse Will's kindness in such a situation?"

The other party was reasonable, so that Arya was speechless.

"Hahahaha!"

Will laughed and said, "It seems that Your Excellency would be a good trade partner." ”

"Will would also be a good partner to work with. ”

"In that case, the matter is settled. One more thing, I've heard that the Sandmen have taken control of the Temple of the Dead?"

Lolos narrowed his eyes, looked at Will carefully, and finally nodded. "That's right, but we've only opened a few rooms outside the temple, and as for the main hall, we can't get into it at all. ”

"Can you take me to see it?"

Lolos eventually agreed to Will's request, and in his opinion, there was nothing to lose by just looking at it.

"The Temple of the Dead of Osiris is buried deep underground. If it weren't for the fact that the slaves had dug up the water veins and the cave collapsed, we wouldn't have found this temple. ”

The sandman stronghold is well connected, and Will walks on the excavated rock path, where sandman slaves can be seen clearing rubble and digging ore. Lolos led Will and Arya through a narrow hole, and their vision suddenly brightened.

The Temple of the Dead of Osiris sits quietly in an underground cavern, and a ray of light peeks through a crack at the top of the cavern and shines on the sharp stones at the top of the temple.

This is a square temple, the style of the building still retains the style of the Nine Gods period, the main building is made of pure huge masonry, layer by layer. Outside the main hall, several of the storage rooms surrounding the artifacts have collapsed.

However, the Sandmen have already cleaned up and built a relatively intact path to the main hall, and are still repairing several collapsed vaults.

Following the road, through the outer square, and to the huge stone gate of the main hall, Lolos stopped.

"We've searched the surrounding vaults, but as you know, there's nothing more than something unimportant. The real goodies are in this main hall. ”

Lolos said with pity.

Of course, for Osiris, the former magician of the Divine Domain, those unimportant things are also treasures worth fighting for desperately for people from the outside world.

Lolos was still selling well when he got cheap, but Will didn't have the time to care. He crept forward and walked to the huge trapezoidal stone door.

The surface of the stone door is very smooth, and there is no warning language on it, or some scary monster patterns carved on it.

Will didn't know what Osiris had in mind for building the temple. However, whether it is from the rough reliefs around it or the overall scattered structural layout, it can be seen that his master is quite casual about this temple.

With that, Will focused his attention on a protruding stone platform in front of the stone door. Will approached and saw a groove in it.

Will took a closer look at the shape of the groove and was startled. Viserys the Dragon Trainer once gave him a huge ruby, and the shape of the groove matched the ruby in perfect shape.

Could it be that the ruby was the key to the temple? Thinking of the memories that Viserys had obtained with necromancy before he died, Will was a little more sure of this idea.

Only now, it's not the time to open this temple. There are sandmen around them, and if they know that they have the key to open this temple, they will immediately tear up the trade contract and turn against themselves.

"The Temple of the Dead in Osiris is indeed full of mysteries, let's go!"

Will smiled and said.
