Chapter 5 When I first arrived, the immortals jumped
Speaking of Zeta, people think of the desolate Gobi in Tanari, the oasis of Akama, the pyramids that stand for thousands of years, and the quirky Sphinx......
There are also camel caravans wearing turbans and robes that walk through the sea of sand.
Zeta's predecessor was a multi-ethnic tribe located in the desert tropics.
Compared to the other two empires, before the arrival of the weird, its civilization was much inferior.
And after the strange comes, Zeta is unable to compete with the two empires for a rich area, so she has no choice but to choose the desert to survive.
In other words, Zeta can be said to be a barren land, barren and less civilized, in other words, wild, both before and after the end of the world.
Su Ling really felt this.
"Guest, the Kata Line has arrived," the driver urged impatiently, "according to the regulations, I have reached the end of work." ”
Su Ling turned back to him awkwardly and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll get out of the car." ”
He put on a turban, put on a hiking bag, and got off the train with the long knife in his arms.
The train went all the way south along the track, and Su Ling watched the exhaust of the train fly away, sighing with some admiration.
Alas, the most recent train has only reached the edge of Zeta's border, and there is no means of transportation here, so wouldn't it take me ten days and half a month?
His disguised identity this time is a traveler, an explorer, after all, we are also a lord now, so we can't travel at will, what do you say? Micro service private interview!
After all, now, in order to compete for the territory recovered after the crusade, the three empires can be said to have both open and secret means, who doesn't want more resources and land?
What's more, Zeta, who is extremely poor, was content with the status quo and did not compete before, but after Menes took office, he immediately grabbed two coastal capitals with thunderous means, although it is only an inland sea, but there is a lot more room for development.
Among them, the blood shed in the battle for the world is more than all the casualties of Zeta in the past thirty years, and the queen even threatened to provoke a war between empires if she dared to stop her.
The two countries are on the same footing, and one of you goes to see the other party's queen, well, it's normal, let's catch it first.
In order to avoid the pressure of public opinion, it is better to be cautious, there are many people who want to engage themselves, maybe Menes will be full of bad water.
Su Ling sighed, feeling a lot of pressure.
Looking at the sandy Gobi in front of him, he was a little messy in the wind.
My Queen, you summoned me to come and didn't arrange a guide, and you really still hate me for talking about your cat's ears, right?
There are still a lot of modern facilities on the side of the train station, there are fruit stalls and shops, as well as guest houses, but they are a little simple.
It was already dusk, and the weathered stones on the Gobi were shining red with smoke and sunset, and it seemed that there was a furnace under their feet, and those who dared to trek out at this time were either caravans or fools.
The strong wind blew, the yellow sand covered his face, Su Ling wiped his face, and decided to go to the guest house for one night first, and by the way, inquire about the situation here, and find out if there are any nearby cities.
The innkeeper was a little old man, and his face was full of wrinkles and looked honest, but he opened his mouth in the tone of a profiteer:
"The young man is here for a tour, right?"
Su Ling looked at this little old man, he rubbed his hands and wore a headscarf, with an inexplicable sense of funny.
But he didn't dare to take this funny little old man lightly, and said decisively: "Sorry boss, I don't want to buy any tourist souvenirs or specialties, I just want to see the scenery." ”
The boss's words got stuck in his throat.
Originally, seeing that this guy was young, he planned to knock on a stroke, but he was so cautious that he miscalculated.
The old man cursed a poor ghost in his heart, and stretched out his hand to Su Ling: "Guest room, 3000 Kirby a night." ”
Su Ling almost didn't spit on his face.
3000 Kirby, your place is worth so much?
He looked at the hotel, the lamp was still the old oil lamp from thirty years ago, the kind that would mute when it flickered, the wooden planks of the stairs would creak when stepped on, and the door looked like it was completely closed, if the girl lived in, she would be attacked by night in the middle of the night.
But it's also much better than sleeping in the desert, Su Ling gritted his teeth: "I want the most luxurious private room, and I will give all the top services!" ”
Anyway, it's also being falsely accused, so it's better to be refreshing.
Su Ling reluctantly paid the money, and the old profiteer immediately smiled happily and squeezed his eyes at him: "Don't dislike the guests, you must know that my inn is the only one in the vicinity, and it has a good reputation, and many people, even if they are eight hundred miles away, will come to stay for one night." ”
Su Ling thought to himself, if you are not forced to live in this shabby place, who wants to live, you will have the advantage of geographical advantages, and someone really has a brain that has been pumped eight hundred miles away to live in this leaky house?
The boss saw his reluctance and shouted upstairs, "Suanna! Here you go! ”
Su Ling was wondering what tricks this guy had, and in the next second he understood why someone had come all the way to this inn.
A very beautiful girl came down from downstairs, wearing a scarf and a robe, with a pale veil on her face, and a grain of red bean paste between her eyebrows, like a dancing girl, slowly pacing downstairs.
The old profiteer pulled her aside and whispered two words, speaking in dialects, and Su Ling couldn't understand what the two were communicating.
After speaking, the girl's body stiffened significantly.
She slowly walked in front of Su Ling, and with some reluctance, she bowed down and lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around: "Guest...... On the days of your stay, I will be your guide. ”
Her movements are like the movements of a swan dancing, beautiful and moving, like a blooming flower, such a girl should not appear in such a desert.
It's just her eyebrows, but there is a sorrow that can't go away.
Combined with the current situation and Zeta's open culture, Su Ling understood her difficulties.
At the same age as flowers, I was forced to accompany those rich guests......
I don't know, what happened.
Su Ling could see that she was sullen, but it was inconvenient to say it at the moment.
So he took her hand and was about to go upstairs to speak, but Sana was held by him, her body was obviously stiff, and she followed with some resistance.
When he arrived in the room belonging to Su Ling, Suona immediately shook off his hand and looked at him vigilantly: "Don't think that if Abba wants me to accompany you, you can do whatever you want!" ”
Her eyes were red, and it seemed that she had experienced this kind of thing before.
Su Ling said calmly: "Girl, if there is anything unspeakable, you can tell me." ”
Sana looked at him suspiciously, it was not that no one had said this in the past in an attempt to deceive her trust, but this man gave her an inexplicable sense of reassurance, and what he said was true.
Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her bit her lip: "In Zeta, men and women living in the same room means that the relationship is certain, you will either marry me or go to jail now!"
At this time, the voice of the old profiteer and a bunch of people suddenly came from outside the door: "Captain, this guy wants to force my daughter!" ”
A bunch of policemen dressed as thugs broke down the door and pointed their guns directly at him: "Don't move, raise your hands, boy, either pay the money or go in!" ”
Damn, play fairy jumping?
Su Ling was dumbfounded, looking at the delicate flower-like girl in front of him, he finally understood what kind of goods this hotel was.
Isn't this just a high-end nightclub that pays money to accompany customers?
Good guys, this is the opening of Zeta, this place is also the border between the two countries, and there is still such a thing, isn't this a sideline game in front of everyone to cheat money?
After a long time, Su Ling was dumbfounded.
The first time I came to Zeta, I was jumped by the immortals, I was really unlucky to get home, Harpy, you dead pigeon, this lucky fart!
