Chapter 452: Camel Cart, Set Off
ps: p.s. "Happy New Year" for being late, please forgive me for taking another leave of absence recently......
It was almost dawn, and light smoke swirled in the clearing in front of the ruins of Sand Eagle City.
The melodious chanting is a sacred song for the souls of the dead, and the people of Sand Eagle City bury their dead relatives and then pray for an ethereal future. This ritual was supposed to be performed by the priests and the Prophet, but most of the priests failed to escape the fire, and the Prophet ...... Miss Xiulin Joan rejected the pleas on the grounds that "I am now the executor of the Wizarding Alliance, and I still have a task to do".
Among those who attended the funeral today were Xiulin's family, her mother, her younger brother Shet, and her younger sister Mara. She had already said goodbye, and Xiulin took one last look at the crowd around the fire and stepped into the new camel cart.
The camel cart looks like a house mounted in the middle of four wheels, with two doors, eight windows of various sizes, unpainted and without sheers, and seems somewhat rudimentary, but well closed. It's Na'er's masterpiece.
"Nell can fix cars. The twelve-year-old craftsmen once held up their hammers and solemnly announced that they had found an old car and some planks from the village near the jujube orchard, and little Na'er was busy with tinkling.
"Na'er's camel cart is very sturdy, even if you encounter bad people, you are not afraid!" Na'er is very confident in the fruits of her labor. Although the camel cart was made into a closed house, it was made of wood after all, and it was useless in case of an enemy like the Red Witch Rust, but. Everyone couldn't bear to hit Na'er, not to mention long-distance travel, it was also good to have such a shelter car, Xiulin was even more happy to hug Na'er and praise her "so smart", Na'er was so ashamed that her face turned red.
What's even more pleasing is that Daphne's goods hidden in the Red Valley are not lost, they are loaded and blanketed, even if they are ready to go. Despite a hard-fought battle, everyone was exhausted. But Xiulin didn't seem to want to stay in this place at all. "That's how my body is. Rest until you get to your lovely Oasis City, Miss Snowling, and don't forget your promise. ”
Devany had already said that she would compensate them for their vacation, hearing that. Devany could only smile awkwardly. "Of course I won't forget. I will definitely arrange the best accommodation for all of you. We hope you all have a great time in Alcatia City. ”
The camel pulling the cart was a little old, and it didn't seem to want to go yet, and it had been slowly gnawing on the hay on the ground. Daphne holds the camel's reins. Turning around, his expression was still a little hesitant.
"Shall we not wait for the funeral to be over? Miss Joan, aren't you going to comfort the family? ”
"I can't think of any comforting words. Xiulin waved her hand. Xiulin wore a wolf skin bought by Devany, tied with a belt, and protected her immobile right arm, "You have also seen it these days, my family and I actually have nothing to say, I left them when I was very young, and it was a lie to say that I forgot about them, but it will not change if I continue to stay here, let's talk about it later, maybe I will come back." ”
"Sister Xiulin......" Ai Xia, who followed behind her, showed a stunned expression.
Xiulin's relationship with her mother and younger siblings, to be honest, feels quite strange. Their family has lived in this vast desert for generations, and has never been outside of the desert, and they don't even know what the "Magic Alliance" is. Xiulin's father unfortunately passed away, and even if they occasionally sat together and talked like a family, someone would always shed tears first. Xiulin said that her father was very good to her when she was a child, but she doesn't remember how good she was.
"Silly girl, why are you looking at Sister Xiulin with such an expression, as if your Sister Xiulin needs others to worry about it. Xiulin reached out and patted Aisha on the head. Xiulin's face has been very bad these days, and anyone who sees it will be worried. "Your sister Xiulin is a more powerful executor than your children, it's going to be fine. ”
"Ugh. Ivan, who was suddenly mentioned, looked at Xiulin in disdain.
The people of Sand Eagle City continued their mourning and blessing rituals, and a red morning sun rose from the horizon, and the desert was gilded with golden-red light. On the camel cart, Na'er arranged all the seats for everyone, and she sat outside the front door, on the porch-like carriage frame, shouting "Come on, come on" with great interest, as if she had forgotten her fears of the past.
The magic dagger was now back in Na'er's hand, and she had stabbed a demon snake with it before, and she seemed to think it was a very great thing, so she took the dagger with her as if it were her medal. Na'er was so bold at times, she didn't have any nightmares when she saw a desert city collapsed in flames.
"Na'er wants to lead the way with Sister Yu, Sister Xiulin is the wounded, and the wounded have to sleep well in the car. Na'er said seriously. Devany chuckled softly, and when everyone had boarded the car, she led the old camel and walked slowly into the distance.
"Just walk along the Emerald River. Devany said.
After walking for a while, she also got into the car and sat down next to Na'er, "The Emerald River passes through the Alcatia Oasis and finally empties into the Emerald Lake in the south. ”
"What if I go by boat?" Xiulin didn't sleep at all, she leaned against the wooden door in front of her, her eyes shining.
"It's very convenient to go by boat, but Miss Joan, your injuries are not healed yet, and I am worried that the current is too strong in some places. Daphne smiled apologetically, "It's also easy to walk along the riverbank, we don't have to worry about the lack of water, and there are many villages along the riverbank." The Red Witch is gone, and the people of the desert will be able to accept us. ”
"That's right, anyway, Kui Ling still likes to show his hospitality. Xiulin thought for a moment and nodded.
"Let's just go directly to the city of the Yu Clan, is it okay?" The encounter during this period of time made Ivan feel a little more worried, and he wanted to go to the village of Kuiljan, but he was "welcomed" by the villagers with various weapons, and he killed him without saying anything, although the people in that small village were not the opponents of the magicians at all, but it was still strange and uncomfortable to encounter this kind of thing. Arcatia City, after all, belongs to the Yu Clan, a city of different races.
"Hmm...... It's okay to have me here. Arcatia is a city run by the Feather Clan, but most of the inhabitants of the city are humans, and there is no problem as long as you follow our rules. Devany hesitated for a moment, then replied affirmatively, "Ah, though, there's one thing I'd better explain in advance." When you arrive in Arcatia, please do not use ...... Well...... It's better to have a tool with Origin Magic......"
"In other words, we can't use the magic magic weapon?" Xiulin raised an eyebrow.
"Well, that's right. Devany looked down in embarrassment, "The Feather Clan hasn't always liked this kind of ...... Magic, so, if you can, it's better not to tell who you are. Of course, I'll explain the situation to the lord beforehand. Arcatia is a very safe city, there will never be monsters, everyone just needs to rest in peace. ”
"If you don't have a monster, it doesn't matter if you don't use a magic weapon. Aisha cupped her cheeks and thought hard.
"There are absolutely no monsters, and there will be no demons, and the security in the city is very good, so there is no need to use your weapons at all. A sincere smile appeared on Devonne's face, "Besides, I know the city lord, so please rest assured." ”
