"Go!"

With Na'er's carefree cheers, the camel cart continued to move east.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured over the yellow sand they had left behind, and the rising wind carried away the breath of blood and fire that had fallen silent in the long desert. Ivan looked at Carlo's figure on the back of a camel, and he knew in his heart what reason Carlo was opposing Xiulin's mention this time.

Get back...... You will pass through Sapphire Town, and the closest office to here may be the office in Sapphire Town.

Carlo didn't want to give up his surveillance mission, and he didn't want to leave his partner Xiulin behind, so he could only prevent them from going their separate ways. Ivan couldn't help but feel that Carlo's persistence was really speechless.

"I'm not the kind of person who can engage in conspiracy......" Ivan muttered in a small voice.

Carlo is naturally inaudible when he is far away.

However, Xiulin, who was leaning on the side, moved, and glanced at Ivan in astonishment with her dark eyes, and then, she frowned slightly, and a faint sadness quickly flashed under her eyes.

Night falls on the journey.

They parked the camel cart next to a wind-sheltered sand dune, and Devany took out the hay it had brought with it and fed it to the camels that were destined to work hard. Today's dinner consisted of humble hard bread and jerky.

The evening breeze quickly dissipated the heat of the day, and the temperature in the desert dropped at an unbelievable rate, and the remaining heat was quickly carried away by the coolness. After lowering the curtain to block the wind, lighting a glass-covered kerosene lamp hanging in the car, and before they had time to rest, the group resumed their journey to the tributaries of the Emerald River.

The cost of the overnight journey was that both they and the camels would be tired, and the camels could not do anything. People can only curl up in the car wrapped in blankets and take a break. I hope that when I get to my destination, I can find a comfortable house to live in.

Ivan sat in a daze until the second half of the night, while the lights were still on.

Aisha was supposed to come out to replace Xiulin and Carlo, probably because she didn't have a good rest yesterday, she leaned on the side of the car, curled up in a pile of blankets and fell asleep. Aisha's mood may not have cleared up yet, she kept her face composed, her brow lowered, and pressed her face tightly against the blanket. Ivan couldn't help but feel a faint sense of distress.

Compared with. Nalle slept soundly. The little girl was holding a very thick blanket, and her little head with short cherry blossom hair was comfortably leaning on Aisha's body, clumped together like a kitten, and her face was buried in the blanket. Daphne sat as upright as she usually did. It seems to be closing his eyes and resting his mind. Xiulin and Carlo had been outside the curtain for hours.

Desert night. Surprisingly cold. There is such a terrible temperature difference in a place where there is no water, as if the day is still summer, and the sun goes down and becomes winter.

After a moment, Daphne opened her eyes. He looked ahead with a hesitant gaze.

“...... I'm going to ask them. Ivan exhaled listlessly, retracting his gaze from Elsa and Nail. Not daring to disturb the two sleeping girls, he carefully pulled out the woolen cloak from the salute and draped it over his body. Lifting the curtain a little, the cold wind swished in, and Ivan immediately tightened his collar, put on his hood, and poked his head out to look out.

A familiar hand rested on his head. Ivan didn't bother to dodge, and raised his head to look at Xiulin, who covered half of his face with a headscarf and smiled crookedly, "Take a break?" he asked.

"Fool, I'm going to show you the way, just rest here. Xiulin supported the frame with one hand and patted Ivan's head with the other, "Look at this desert, people who are not familiar with it will definitely get lost?"

"Actually, I can lead the way. Daphne crept over at some point, and whispered a little reluctantly, "The Feather Clan won't get lost, and I've been there over there." ”

"It's okay, my body is pretty good. Xiulin smiled disapprovingly, and grabbed Ivan's shoulder, "Miss Xue Ling wants to come out to see the scenery? If you don't want to rest, then come out and talk, so as not to get too boring on the road." ”

As she said this, she deliberately turned her head and looked meaningfully at Carlo, who was carrying the lamp in front of her, and Carlo was looking back at her. Although the two are old partners, Carlo is a person, in short, he can't chat properly, and even Xiulin can't find any interesting topics to liven up the atmosphere. Blown by the cold wind mixed with sand outside, Ivan didn't feel sleepy at this time, he got out, and Daphne followed him.

"Well, great view. Daphne sat on the sidelines, looking up at the starry sky.

The pure silver light instantly washed away the mood of yin haze, the magic crystal lamp in Carlo's hand compared to the clear night, like an insignificant little firefly, the outline of the undulating sand dunes in the distance was like a hazy cloud changing with the wind, and the lonely camel cart was like driving in the vast void.

"Hey, Miss Xue Ling asked my tribe?"

Xiu Lin may have been used to seeing the night scene of the desert, so she asked directly to Daphne, and her tone was very kind.

"Ahh......h Please forgive me if I ask questions that I shouldn't have asked. Daphne suddenly lowered her head, looking away cowardly.

"Why, I'd love to have a good chat with Miss Xueling, Miss Xueling must have been to more places than I do? ”

Xiulin's slightly narrowed eyes were rippling with nostalgia.

"By the way, Sister Xiulin, you-" Ivan thought for a moment, if Xiulin lived in this desert when she was a child, how could she become the executor of the Magic Alliance? The desert is not under the jurisdiction of the Magic Alliance. Although I am not very curious, I have this opportunity, so I still ask.

"-Why did you leave the desert?" he asked more directly.

"Oh, that's the question......" Xiulin's eyes narrowed into a slit, and then the smile in her eyes suddenly faded. She lowered her hand and looked across the starry sky.

"Because, I'm not fit to live in the middle of the Quiren, isn't it? I don't hate it here, but I can't continue to live like that......"

Xiulin's voice was lighter than the evening breeze, as if she was narrating someone else's story, and she didn't seem to be distressed by this sudden question, and spoke naturally.

"I'm different from most Quire, I know something...... Things that others don't know, for example, where there might be dangerous monsters. In fact, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a monster, there are not many magic guide primordial crystal veins in the desert, and there are not many monsters, and only those who are unlucky will meet them. But there are such unlucky people around me. I was young at the time, and I felt that something wasn't quite right where they were going, so I just said it. ”。 )
