Shang Qiong calendar, 15926, May 19.

It was dawning, and in the town of Suasa, on the outskirts of the easternmost city of Gors, the inhabitants got up early and began to prepare food in the faint light.

Some of the food they cooked would be kept for themselves, and some of it would be sold to adventurers who came to hunt and hunt sand beasts, so that they could buy daily necessities from the merchants.

As its name suggests, the town has the meaning of dancing and fluttering gently, but it is not people who dance and flutter, but the yellow sand in the sky.

No one in the town knew where the end of the desert was, and occasionally I heard adventurers mention that the end was the sea, and the sea was full of water.

Many of the town's people grew up dreaming of reaching the end of the desert and digging ditches long enough to bring water from the sea to the town.

As for the idea of moving to the sea, there is absolutely no way to do it, the town wants water, not from the dangers that may arise from the sea.

The calm morning and the unpeaceful hearts of the people constitute a period of time in the ordinary years of Suo Sa Town.

Native Moti Kaxiu was also busy today. At seventy-two, he didn't look old, and he was the best at the tavern chef he had been in town for sixty years, at least in his own opinion.

Since the group of adventurers who returned to the town last night had a relatively large harvest and drank too much wine made from sand brown fruit, they gave Moti Kaxiu an extra twenty pounds of ball-shot snake meat, and today he has ball-shot snake meat as the main ingredient.

Quickly preparing the barbecue, Moti Kaxiu carried the board to the outside of the tavern. This part of the meat is ready to be sold to adventurers who head to the desert in the morning.

Moti Kaxiu had always felt that he did not know whether adventurers were taking risks to live or to live for the sake of adventure, he only knew that he would live without taking risks.

After placing all the things, Moti Kaxiu clapped his hands, took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "Today's two suns are brighter than yesterday, and the stingy old Xier will run to the desert to sell water, hoping that he will not sell the last drop of water, and then die of thirst in the desert, so that he will not be able to see the ...... in the morning."

Moti Kaxiu's muttering suddenly stopped, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes with his mouth slightly open, panicked, frightened, and dazed.

"The sun has set. I don't know which child made the sound first, and then more people raised their heads to look at the sky.

A large ball of fire flew from the far reaches of the sky, as if a third sun had appeared in the sky, even more dazzling than the sun.

The eyes of countless people followed the fireball, and the fireball streaked at an unknown height, like a meteor at night, but it did not dissipate in the sky like a meteor.

Until the horizon obscured people's view, the people in the town still looked confused and puzzled.

I don't know how long it took, but the people who came to their senses began to talk about their speculations to the people nearby, and the fireballs falling from the sky became the only topic of conversation in the morning in Susa Town.

Half a month later, more adventurers appeared in the town, making the town more and more prosperous.

The fireball has rarely been mentioned, and the people in the town know that the fireball fell into the desert perhaps a thousand miles away from the town, and the people who used to look for it did not encounter the fireball, but found a relic that is said to be at least 20,000 years old.

It is said that there are many unknown beasts in the ruins, and they only eat crying children who do not sleep, that there are countless treasures in the ruins, and that those who get them will become the richest beings in the principality, and that there are potions in the ruins that can keep women young forever and make men stronger.

There are many theories, but more adventurers are not here for this, they are looking for a few antiques from the ruins in exchange for more gold.

Shang Qiong calendar 15940, May 19.

Fourteen years since the appearance of the desert ruins.

Morti Kaxiu still runs his tavern, and there are still so many adventurers in the town.

According to the people who came back alive from the ruins, the ruins have been explored to the sixth layer, and there are really many dangers inside, no one has seen the powerful beasts, various mechanisms have taken the lives of adventurers, and adventurers have been poisoned to death for no reason.

Almost everyone knows that adventurers don't necessarily die because of the danger of the ruins, and that many of them die at the hands of other adventurers.

"Hi, old Moti, good evening. The wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and a group of adventurers entered, and the first person greeted Moti Cassio warmly: "If you will give me a free glass of sand brown, I will tell you something new." ”

"Damn Vic, once again, I stress that you have to call me Kashou, if you always forget something, you will not find a way back, if the thing you want to exchange is...... Near the ruins in the desert, if a fourteen-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl rob the stingy old West R for a sale, I will sell you a drink for twice the price. ”

Moti Kaxiu propped his arms on the counter, which he couldn't see the original color, and squinted his eyes at the people who came in.

"Okay, old Moti, I'm going to say something new, yes, another. The man known as Bik waved his hand without paying attention, and when he walked to the table, he pulled out a chair with his foot, sat down and said, "The boy's name is Gongsun Murong, and the girl's name is ......."

"Sophia Narasha, Vic, it looks like you're going to have to pay double today. The corners of Moti Kaxiu's mouth curled, shaking the glass that had just been filled.

Bick was stunned for a moment, held his head with his hands, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh no~!Did I come back slowly?Who got the free wine? Well, old Moti, I want to say another thing, Gongsun Murong and Sophia Nalasha are about to be in trouble." ”

The people of the tavern were silent after Vic's words, and they understood that the two children were selling water in the desert, and not all of them were willing to trade prey and money for it.

Just like the stingy old Xier, he occasionally comes back with wounds all over his body or other adventurers' equipment, which is definitely not blown by the wind and sand, and the equipment is not given by others.

With the third-order and sixth-level battle qi, he still has people to provoke, not to mention two children, surviving in the desert...... There is no mercy.

"May the god of war bless them, adventurers need water, not the lives of children, don't they? Oh, I remember, Chiron brought me fresh hyena meat from the previous news, yes, delicious hyena meat, it's going to be roasted soon, does anyone want one?"

Moti Kashu changed the subject just in time.

Soon the tavern was filled with loud shouts and curses.

The nights in the desert are cold and dangerous, and some creatures don't hunt until the moon rises.

Sixty miles away from the ruins, more than nine hundred and seventy miles away from the town of Suosa, a big boy who looked to be fourteen or five years old was walking side by side with a little girl of three or four years old holding a torch.

"Brother Murong, Nalasha hates the night. The little girl complained.

She wore a knee-length dress that exposed her shoulders, white, with a pair of translucent pink crystal slippers on her feet, two horn-like tugging on her head, and the rest of her hair draped over her shoulders and back, up to her waist, undulating in the wind, and on her forehead there was something that looked like a jewel of makeup, the color was blurry and dazzling.

The big boy smiled and glanced at the little girl: "Yes, I hate it too." ”

He wore clothes similar to those of those who ventured in the desert, only a little loose, holding a torch in his left hand and a sword in his right hand that was one meter long, ten centimeters wide, and about two centimeters thick.

"No one comes to buy water at night, and no one brings us anything, how are we going to live when we get to a place where people gather? Nalasha don't be hungry, Narasha is hungry now, Brother Murong!" the little girl rubbed her stomach as she spoke, and looked up at the big boy's face.

The big boy suddenly had a golden plate in his hand, and there was a circle of meat slices in the middle of the plate, and he comforted the little girl while handing it to him: "Don't worry about Narasha, we will find something to do when we get to a crowded place, and there are more delicious foods waiting for us." ”

The little girl took the plate into her hand, and before the wind fell with the sand, an arc-shaped transparent cover appeared on the plate, she pinched a piece of meat with her hand and gently stuffed it into her mouth to chew, and asked in a vague voice: "Brother Murong, my real name is Nalasha, did you pick it up from the ruins?"

"Yes, yes, you slept in the ruins, you were as old as you are now, and for three years, you haven't grown up. You lie in the coffin of the crystal...... In the cupboard, your name is written on the side of the cupboard, my butler knows that kind of writing, and the whole ruin is your home. The big boy said firmly.

"Oh, I'm always afraid of forgetting, in the future, Narasha will try to ask the same question as little as possible, Brother Murong, your housekeeper is really gone?"

"It's sleeping, and when I get back to my hometown, they'll have a way to wake up the housekeeper, and my arrival was an accident. The butler said that I should grow up on a particular planet, and my fleet would accompany me, and then go back to the family to compare with other people like the same and choose the next generation of successors. ”

"I know the way, I know the way, you said last year, as a result, you and your fleet were separated in the process of space jumping, you and your rescue pod fell to this planet, you grew up little by little, and received the training of the butler, because the rescue pod consumes too much special energy, and your butler must be special energy to operate, so he fell asleep. ”

"Yes, yes, I said that. ”

"Brother Murong, you also said that there are eight layers of ruins, I am on the last floor, you help me put away most of the things, at that time, the adventurers here have explored to the fourth layer, and you have left them with some things that look worthless and are embedded in the wall, and you said that you also want to help me find my family. ”

"Well, find your family. ”

"Brother Murong, you are so good, I will marry you when Nalasha grows up, but why is Nalasha always so small? Wow, Brother Murong, there is another sand swallowing beast that the adventurer said, I want to eat it, it tastes the best." ”

The little girl was chatting and repeating the topic of the same story as many times as she had spoken, when she suddenly pointed ahead and shouted with joy.

Three hundred meters in front of the two of them, a head suddenly emerged from the sand, and the pointed mouth in front of the head opened suddenly, swallowing a hyena lying there, perhaps because the momentum towards the sand was too great, its whole body had rushed out of the sand and headed towards the sky.

At a distance of three hundred meters, the little girl seemed to be able to see clearly without the light of a torch.

The moment she spoke, the older boy had already rushed forward with his sword, and his figure did not have a clear trajectory like the others, but flickered.

There was a clear and blurred for a while, and it seemed that the light of the moon shining on him also had a special refraction, which could be described as a movement and a prominence, a step away, a blink of a day, and a moment of approach.

At a distance of three hundred meters, the big boy rushed out of the sand in four seconds to go two hundred meters, and at this moment the momentum of the sand swallowing beast had reached its peak, and it began to fall towards the sand after a moment in the air, the twelve-meter-long body was still writhing, and at the same time turned around, his head went down, and the closed sharp mouth was facing the sand, and the speed was obviously faster than when he rushed up.

Another second passed, and seeing that the mouth of the Sand Swallower was about to touch the sand, the big boy let out a loud cry, and the one-handed sword came out of his hand, flashing a blurred light and shadow in the moonlight, and then pierced two inches above the head of the Sand Eater's sharp mouth.

The dust and sand swept, and the body of the sand-eater fell to the sand, writhing irregularly below its head, but it could not burrow into the sand.

"Huh!" the little girl jumped up happily and waved her little fists: "There are good things to eat, Brother Murong is awesome." ”

The night in the desert is not a good time to make food, so two people, one big and one small, drag the sand-eater on, instead of putting it away like the big boy did when he conjured up the plate and the meat slices inside, and the sand-eater rated by humans as a third-order seventh-order can deter other beasts of lower rank than it, even if it is only a corpse.

Sure enough, when the day began to light up, the eldest boy Gongsun Murong and the little girl Sophia Nalasha were very relaxed all night, and they didn't encounter other sand beasts again.

Moreover, the two of them advanced more than 270 miles in one night, a distance that could scare 99 percent of the adventures.

They are less than seven hundred miles away from Suo Sa Town at the moment, and they are no longer in a hurry to sell water.

Because selling water is not the purpose, the two of them appeared and disappeared in various places near the ruins like ghosts and sold water for two months, in fact, to learn the language of the humans in this place, and then find out about the living habits or something.

Every time they appeared, it was when there were fewer people, such as three miles in front of a certain adventurer team, such as on the other side of a certain corner on a certain level in the ruins.

Every adventurer who has traded with them and has never made a move on them will fear for their safety, and every adventurer who has made a move on them has disappeared in or around the ruins.

Relatively kind adventurers, when occasionally talking to other adventurers, inevitably sigh with pity, they always think that the two children will not survive, and whenever they hear others say that they have met two children somewhere, they will breathe a sigh of relief.

These adventurers know the vagaries of human nature, but they choose the good side when they meet their two children, and they don't know when they are satisfied in their hearts, and they choose not only good or evil at that moment, but ...... Life and death.
